Outstanding musical perception and voice conditions;
falling in love with a "fan" who is 11 years younger;
In their 50s, they will still be as indulgent as a child;
After two marriages, she is still a "happy girl......
Compared with her, the experience of the heroine of the explosive novel is a little bleak, and she has the stable title of "diva", but it always makes people feel that she is still a girl.
These unrelated traits magically appear in one person - Faye Wong.
Lin Xi said that he and Faye Wong are a "husband and wife" without a name
Immigrated to Hong Kong with her father at the age of 18, and Faye Wong first sang Cantonese songs.
With the take-off of Hong Kong's economy in the 60s of the last century, culture and art have also developed rapidly, and many kings and queens have emerged.
Four Heavenly Kings
The lyricist is also very famous, Lin Xi, as the "queen lyricist" of Eason Chan, Miriam Yeung, and Lin Yilian, has created many well-known songs such as "Ten Years" and "Insects Fly".
杨千嬅
Even the theme song of the 08 Beijing Olympics "Beijing Welcomes You" came from him, and in Faye Wong's well-known songs, his name is also repeated.
Lin Xi
debuted for the first time, the stage name prepared by the company for Faye Wong was "Wang Jingwen", this crepe name obviously Faye Wong didn't like it, but when she first arrived, Faye Wong knew how to restrain her edge.
The first opportunity for the two to collaborate was the album of the same name "Wang Jingwen" released in 1989, in which the title song was written by Lin Xi.
The first cooperation was not a deep friendship, but Lin Xi was very impressed by this little girl, and he saw his former self in Faye Wong, who was arrogant and spiritual.
The Hong Kong music scene's love for Lin Xi is self-evident, but in the past, Lin Xi was also forced by life to fill in saliva songs. He remembered when he was deeply amazed by Su Shi's words when he was a student, and then looked at Faye Wong, who had a unique temperament in front of him, and his enthusiasm for lyrics was ignited again.
Soon, in the following year, Lin Xi once again produced the lyrics of two songs in Faye Wong's second album "Everything".
"Listening to Faye Wong's voice, you will be inspired. Lin Xi also tested Faye Wong's singing style in lyrics again and again, and keenly captured the matching lyric style.
It is said that when Lin Xi was creating, he saw that the heroine of the TV drama was disturbed by the breakup, and he was depressed, and if he was not careful, the red beans boiled in the pot were boiled, so he got inspiration to create "Red Beans".
Later, the two often cooperated, and the lyrics he created mastered Faye Wong's maverick personality very well, and also perfectly integrated the mood of the song with Faye Wong with subtle or enthusiastic expression.
A very interesting little story, Faye Wong called him to invite him to compose lyrics, and Lin Xi received a simple reply of "um". After writing and sending it over, Faye Wong didn't ask anything, and soon started recording the song. By the time Lin Xi suddenly realized that a certain sentence was too old-fashioned, Faye Wong had already finished recording it on the phone!
This tacit understanding that makes people say "damn it" to the lips is really interesting. As he said, he was afraid that Faye Wong would retire, or no one would sing the songs he wrote.
Of course, this is self-humility, with Faye Wong's qualifications and voice conditions, without him she would still be a diva, but with Lin Xi, Faye Wong can be Faye Wong.
The personality is cold and arrogant, and it is out of place
From Lin Xi's perspective, we can also find that Faye Wong's road to fame is not natural and logical.
Before the age of fifteen, Faye Wong's name was Xia Lin. The surname is my mother's, and the "Lin" in my name is taken from my father.

In 1969, Faye Wong fell to the ground in Beijing, at this time it was still during the ten-year Cultural Revolution, in the political center, her father was sent down because Faye Wong's grandfather served as a legislator during the Republic of China, and the young Faye Wong could only live with her mother.

's mother is a soprano singer in the art troupe, and she can't always take care of Faye Wong when she holds performances.
When she was a child, the people Faye Wong saw the most were not her mother, but the neighbor's aunt, the teacher in the nursery school, and the relatives who lived in the house.
It wasn't until 76 that her father returned to Beijing that Faye Wong ended her life of "going around for home". We don't know what kind of memories Faye Wong left in her heart from the turmoil of her childhood, but Faye Wong loved to sing since she was a child, and her mother must know this.
Participated in the CCTV Galaxy Children's Choir
But when Faye Wong, who was in high school, proposed to go to the record company, her mother disagreed.
Fortunately, his father Wang Youlin was handling Hong Kong immigration for Faye Wong at that time, and his broad vision made him feel that excellent voice conditions were a specialty, and things began to change.
Faye Wong's youth photo
So, Faye Wong, who was admitted to Xiamen University, gave up her studies and plunged headlong into Hong Kong, where she was unfamiliar with her life.
With a height of 1.74 meters, it is not easy to be ignored now, not to mention Faye Wong's good looks and outstanding figure.
At the age of less than 20, she was curious about everything, and at that time she was selected to be a model out of curiosity, but soon found out that this was not what she wanted.
At this time, the first noble person to introduce Faye Wong to the door appeared, Dai Sicong.
Faye Wong and her mentor Dai Sicong
Andy Lau, Liming, Zhang Mingmin and others are all from his disciples.
He is optimistic about Faye Wong's unique temperament, and has three chapters with her to improve her singing skills. Faye Wong began to redouble her efforts, running, practicing her voice, and learning Cantonese, and gradually, she widened her true vocal range by several degrees, and her Cantonese proficiency became more and more proficient.
In 1989, Master officially introduced Faye Wong to the record company for the first time, she was renamed "Wang Jingwen", and the album of the same name released was a great success, winning a lot of sales in one fell swoop, and she also won the female singer on the music pop chart.
"Wang Jingwen" period
What Faye Wong never thought of was that the audience's criticism of her clothing style was endless.
Her aesthetic is not understood, and the agency's packaging does not give her any room to come up with any ideas of her own.
On the other hand, the Hong Kong audience is so arrogant. At this time, Faye Wong felt that she was "confused".
Under the chaos, the company also sensed Faye Wong's rebellion and unwillingness, and the sales of the second and third albums fell all the way. In 1991, the agent turned around and sold Faye Wong to a new company for 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and in a fit of anger, Faye Wong decided to leave.
She went to the United States to study, there were no familiar people and things, and the days of studying abroad were very lonely. But the open environment of New York gave a smart person room to think, she was able to get in touch with Western popular styles and singing voices, and after precipitating, she dialed her mentor Dai Sicong's phone again, listened carefully to her mentor's advice, and resolutely decided to return to China.
It was also this return to China that I met the second noble person in my life, Hong Kong's top agent Chen Jiaying.
Faye Wong and Chen Jiaying
In the summer of 1992, Faye Wong released her fourth album, and since then, Wang Jingwen, a resentful female singer who caters to the mainstream, has disappeared, and Faye Wong's road has broken out.
Faye Wong's excellence lies in her own personality, but she also has a good thinking side.
She will also face failure, but she will never get caught up in it.
Put your heart and soul into it, identify one thing, and do it.
Staying true to the feelings of the moment is more important than the result
For her, staying true to the feelings of the moment is more important than the result.
Faye Wong loves rock and roll
There are often divas, but it is not often that there are such freewheeling but principled ones.
Her pursuit of love is always talked about by the media, and her assertive personality can actually be glimpsed from her school days.
At the age of the beginning of love, she fell in love with the boy in the next class, she would create opportunities to increase contact with the boy, and it was about to be done, and her mother jumped out to break up the little couple of first love, and it became a hurried memory.
In Hong Kong, Faye Wong soon became famous, because she often returned to Beijing, Faye Wong's temperament, Beijing's rock circle was indispensable to join in the fun, and she fell in love with Luan Shu of the Black Panther Band.
The Black Panthers
In the golden age of Chinese rock, Luan Shu, who graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music, hit it off with the Black Panthers, who were ready to go, and joined the band as a keyboardist.
Soon, the first album was an instant hit upon its release.

Dramatically, the lead singer of the band at that time was called Dou Wei.

Usually when Faye Wong came to visit Ban Luanshu, he would only greet "Xiao Wang" lightly, but when Dou Wei was rocking on the stage with an explosive head, Faye Wong's eyes in the audience slowly couldn't take his eyes off.
The plot is out of control and going farther and farther on the road of "dog blood". Later, even though Faye Wong went to New York to study, the contact between the two became more and more frequent, and his girlfriend was "abducted" by his best brother.
I can only say that the fact of feelings is subtle, but my understanding is that once the relationship between men and women enters marriage and is bound by the law, it can no longer be arbitrary. And before getting married, it can only be said that the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise.

Faye Wong took the initiative to pursue it when she knew that the other party had a girlfriend, in fact, I admire it!
No one says that boyfriend and girlfriend will definitely enter into marriage, but because the other party is one step earlier than themselves, they will easily give up the person they like, is it not unwilling?
It is precisely because of this that in order for Dou Wei to let go of everything, Faye Wong, who turned her head to be a good wife and mother, could also cheat on Dou Wei in marriage, and after finding that the two were drifting apart, she chose to let go completely and took Dou Jingtong to leave to raise her alone.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see Faye Wong's sincere dedication in this relationship.
But once Faye Wong lets go, she will not be nostalgic.
Faye Wong and Li Yapeng got married
Regarding the marriage between Faye Wong and Li Yapeng, the editor doesn't want to talk too much, but I just think that Li Yapeng, who is chasing after her, actually doesn't know Faye Wong.
Faye Wong pulled the slightly shy Nicholas Tse
In contrast, although Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong are 11 years apart, he initially appeared in front of Faye Wong as a "little fan brother", which seems to be not so reliable.
Faye Wong's love is as bold and fiery as her own character.
I really love this group photo
And Faye Wong's casual attitude towards feelings,
In fact, it's like her understatement, "Maybe you will fall in love with a plumber in the elevator".
Faye Wong tied two braids and walked hand in hand with Nicholas Tse at the airport
Like her song: The wind, which belongs to the sky, I borrow to blow it. but blew fireworks in the world.
It looks casual, but it's actually full of sincerity.
epilogue
She is indeed too dazzling, and I sincerely hope that she has found a place where she belongs. As it is written in "Red Bean", nothing will last forever.
She is only herself. Mu Mu couldn't help but think of Sister Fei's simple and incisive words, and encouraged her.
Face the world in a trance and face yourself straight.
It should be normal to love or not, don't care about reputation, that extremely hypocritical thing. - Faye Wong
