When she was only 12 years old, Na Ying, who had been passionate about music since she was a child, decided to join the local youth choir in Liaoning, initially only playing the role of backing singer, but she was never depressed by this.
On the contrary, her love for music burned like a fire and became even stronger.
After countless struggles, Na Ying finally achieved her wish and joined the Shenyang Song and Dance Troupe she had longed for. In 1988, in the "Sunshine Cup" singing contest held in Shenyang, her unique voice and infectious performance vividly interpreted Su Rui's classic "I Found Myself", and finally successfully won the crown.
Originally, this small trophy may have been just a small episode in Na Ying's life journey. However, who would have predicted that it would open up two invaluable opportunities for her? After the game, the audience praised Na Ying's voice for being the same as the famous singer Su Rui.
At first, in the face of these compliments, Na Ying didn't take it too seriously.
So, Na Ying released her first tape, but the name of the tape was not her real name, but was directly named "Su Rui's new song". Wearing sunglasses on the cover, she looks like twins with Su Rui.
Only careful people can notice that there is a small line of text hidden in the corner of the tape - "Su Ran sings" and "Su Ran" is Na Ying's stage name chosen for herself at will.
The deep meaning behind this move is self-evident. Na Ying hoped to take advantage of Su Rui's fame to seize the opportunity, and in that era when the awareness of intellectual property protection was not yet popular, she skillfully seized this loophole and won the first pot of gold in her life.
It was Na Ying's outstanding performance in the "Sunshine Cup" singing contest that allowed her to get acquainted with the famous music educator Gu Jianfen. Mr. Gu was full of praise for the talent of this young singer, not only admired her, but also included her in his music training institution as his own and gave her full support.
Under the careful guidance of Gu Jianfen, Na Ying bid farewell to her hometown of Liaoning and embarked on a journey to the capital Beijing to develop her music career. However, despite Na Ying's extraordinary musical talent, her straightforward and strong personality often caused a bit of trouble for her mentor.
In that competitive art training institution, the talented Na Ying often had conflicts with other students over trivial matters, and quarreled over trivial matters, which made Gu Jianfen, as a tutor, feel a headache.
When people asked Gu Jianfen what she thought of this proud protégé, she responded without hesitation: "Na Ying is like a cheerful and open-minded big sister, her voice is like a natural sound, which is intoxicating, but unfortunately, her wisdom cannot match it."
From Gu Jianfen's evaluation, we can clearly feel that as Na Ying's mentor, she has both deep love for this disciple with a unique personality, and a helpless sigh.
Na Ying's musical talent has been fully recognized, but her outspoken personality has also brought Gu Jianfen a lot of trouble.
With Gu Jianfen's full support and careful guidance, Na Ying finally got her wish and embarked on the music path she had longed for. However, it is not easy to truly make a name for herself, and the road is full of ups and downs, and she needs to work hard one step at a time.
When she first entered the music scene, Na Ying encountered a huge challenge. In order to win the precious opportunity to make her debut, she begged Gu Jianfen many times, begging her teacher to tailor a song for her.
Every time she was ruthlessly ignored and rejected by the teacher, seeing that other students withdrew from their personal works, Na Ying's anxiety intensified day by day, and she secretly vowed to let Teacher Gu compose a masterpiece for herself.
Na Ying began to use her "entanglement tactics". No matter day or night, she follows Gu Jianfen like a shadow, endlessly "disturbing" the teacher, hoping that in this way, the teacher will reluctantly agree to compose songs for her.
Faced with Na Ying's "entanglement" that lasted for many days, Gu Jianfen finally couldn't bear it anymore and could only reluctantly agree to her request.
In this way, a classic work full of strong northwest style - "Mountain Gully" came into being. When Na Ying performed this song affectionately with her unique charming voice, the entire Chinese music scene instantly boiled.
The huge success of this song has established Na Ying's lofty status and far-reaching influence in the music world in one fell swoop, making her a well-known singer who is a household name.
It is worth emphasizing that Naying's road to success was not easy. Before moving to her current status, Na Ying also suffered from various setbacks and temperings in the music industry.
For example, in order to get a valuable chance to make her debut, she had to make demo samples of records for other well-known artists in the studio, and despite the arduous process, she never complained in the slightest and always gave her all.
Although Na Ying's growth rate in the music field is remarkable, her outspoken, fierce and fearless personality has also caused her to cause a lot of controversy and turmoil in the entertainment industry.
Among them, the most striking is undoubtedly the grudge entanglement between her and Daolang. It is precisely because of the song "The First Snow in 2002" sung by Na Ying that Daolang, a talented singer from the Western Regions, was able to appear on the bright stage of the Chinese music scene.
With his unique voice and strong exotic style, Daolang quickly became a household name, and his album sales reached an astonishing 2.7 million copies!
However, in Na Ying's eyes, Daolang's musical works were evaluated as "lacking aesthetic value". She did not shy away from pointing out that Daolang's songs belong to the category of "vulgar" and are "songs that farmers play on demand on KTV".
Despite this, Daolang was almost selected as the "Ten Years Influential Singer" by Na Ying. Fortunately, thanks to the strong opposition of the majority of fans, Daolang finally won this honor.
Not only that, even in variety shows, Na Ying's judgment of the contestants has caused widespread controversy. On the stage of "The Voice of China", she directly gave a "black start" evaluation to the highly praised Zhou Shen.
Originally, people expected Zhou Shen to become Na Ying's protégé, but when she saw Zhou Shen's unpretentious "country guy" face, Na Ying's face showed a look of disgust that could not be concealed.
As expected, in the next game, although Zhou Shen deeply touched all the audience present with his near-perfect singing skills, Na Ying still firmly eliminated him from the game, the reason was simply "I appreciate Li Wei more".
And poor Yao Beina suffered from Na Ying's more serious "poisonous hands". Yao Beina, who was already well-known and unanimously recognized for her strength, was asked by Na Ying to challenge Celine Dion's difficult diva song "All By Myself" in the finals.
This song contains a 3-minute treble part, and Celine is the only singer in the world who can control it. Although Yao Beina was skeptical and hoped to be able to change the track, she was categorically rejected by Na Ying.
Ah! Yao Beina finally failed to successfully sing that crucial song under heavy pressure, and ended up defeating, with tears spilling on the stage. However, after this news was made public, it immediately detonated the focus of public opinion, and all the viewers present strongly condemned Na Ying's choice.
In the ups and downs of the Chinese music scene, the grievances and hatred between Na Ying and Tian Zhen, who are also popular and powerful singers, are undoubtedly a high-profile legendary story. Two outstanding musicians, who emerged in the same era and are of equal strength, will naturally spark heated discussions and comparisons.
The source of this dispute comes from their joint interpretation of Zhang Xiaomei's classic "What a Big Tree". Fans on both sides are engaged in a heated debate over which version is better, and they are disagreeing with each other.
Who is the one who really pushed this song to the top? This question remains an unsolved mystery to this day.
However, since then, the competition between the two has become more and more intense, and the undercurrent is surging, and they do not give in to each other. The unexpected event of an awards ceremony pushed this dispute from behind the scenes to the front of the stage and became the focus of everyone's attention.
Back in 2001, at the "China Pop Song Chart" awards ceremony, according to the voting results, Tian Zhen, who should have won the "Most Popular Female Singer" award, was unable to receive the award in person because he had to prepare for a solo concert.
She asked if the organisers could appoint someone else to receive the prize on their behalf, but the answer was that the winner had to be present in person.
In order not to disappoint the fans who supported him, Tian Zhen resolutely decided to postpone the concert schedule and took precious time to accept the award.
Since then, the feud between the two has snowballed and deepened. We don't know the inside story of that award. However, we can't ignore whether there is a problem with the organizer's operation, and whether Na Ying himself intends to steal Tian Zhen's honor, these are all questions worthy of our in-depth consideration.
