"Singer 2024" is on the air, foreign players sweep the front row under strict conditions, and domestic netizens have called for mainland singers to join the competition. Among them, Leehom Wang has attracted much attention, however, his musical path has not been smooth sailing.
In the early years, due to his Western music background, Leehom Wang's first album "Beethoven", which debuted, did not cause a sensation in the domestic market as he wished. This album is full of Western-style elements, from the style to the lyrics, which are quite different from the mainstream music in China at that time, so it was not widely recognized in the face of domestic audiences.
On the Internet at that time, some netizens expressed various opinions on Leehom Wang's music style. Some people think that Leehom Wang's music is too international and far from the aesthetic taste of China: "These songs sound as if they are sung by foreigners, which is completely out of line with our taste." Other netizens were more open-minded: "Although I am not used to it, we can't deny that his music is indeed very innovative, maybe we are not ready to accept this style." ”
In the face of the sluggish performance of his debut album, Leehom Wang was not discouraged. Instead, he began to actively reflect on his musical path and decided to adjust his style to cater to the tastes of domestic audiences. He had an in-depth understanding of the trends and characteristics of domestic pop music, and began to try to combine Western and Eastern musical elements to find a musical expression that was more in line with the preferences of local listeners.
After a period of thinking and hard work, in 1998, Wang Leehom released the highly anticipated "Revolution and Rotation" album. This album is not only closer to the domestic aesthetic standards in terms of music style, but also combines his unique innovative elements, which has attracted wide attention and love from the audience. As soon as the album was released, it was almost an instant hit, and its sales skyrocketed in a short period of time, becoming one of the important masterpieces of the Chinese music scene that year.
Some netizens expressed their appreciation and recognition of the success of "Revolution and Rotation": "Leehom Wang's album is really super, and every song can make people hear his deep understanding of the domestic market." At the same time, some people look back on his musical transformation and think that it is a wise choice: "Wang Leehom is not only talented, but also has the courage to change himself, and this progressive spirit is worth learning." ”
However, a storm in 2021 completely changed his life. Ex-wife Li Lianglei spoke out, accusing her of infidelity during her marriage, causing an uproar. Public opinion is surging, business cooperation is far away, and Leehom Wang's career has fallen into a trough.
Recently, Leehom Wang received a special invitation to participate in the upcoming Golden Melody Awards, and plans to pay tribute to his late friend Coco Li on stage. For Leehom Wang, this is not only a performance on the music stage, but also an opportunity to deeply miss the lost friendship.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused heated discussions in major media and on the Internet. However, for RTHK viewers, the news was not so popular. There are many people who believe that Leehom Wang is not worthy of paying tribute to Coco Li on such a stage, and they think that Leehom Wang's previous behaviors are not in line with this honor: "How can he show his face on such an important occasion?" His image has been ruined. "Coco Li is our pride, and he can't stand next to her at all."
For Leehom Wang, this opposition surprised and saddened him. Originally, out of affectionate remembrance and respect for his deceased friend, he hoped to express his grief and nostalgia through music. However, he did not expect such a decision to cause such strong repercussions and negative emotions.
Faced with pressure and controversy from the outside world, Wang Leehom began to seriously consider his choice. He is well aware that his image has been damaged, and coupled with the controversy of this Golden Melody Award, it may further deepen the public's misunderstanding and accusations against him. As a public figure, he had to take into account the impact of his actions on others and society, which made him feel very conflicted and troubled.
After much thought and weighing, Wang Leehom finally made a difficult decision: withdraw from the performance of this Golden Melody Award and use a more low-key private way to remember and commemorate Coco Li. He is well aware that he cannot change the public's perception of him, and he understands their emotions and positions. He hopes that in this way, he will not stir up more controversy and negative reactions, and at the same time respect the opinions and feelings of Hong Kong and Taiwan audiences.
Despite the ups and downs, Leehom Wang's musical talent and contributions cannot be ignored. On June 23, 2020, he was invited to serve as the global convener of the Hangzhou Asian Games music collection event. As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused widespread discussion in the music circle and among netizens.
Many people expressed their support and expectation for Leehom Wang's appointment: "He not only has a deep attainment in music, but also his influence is also very great, and I believe that he can bring a lot of excellent works to the Asian Games." "Leehom Wang has always been a very hard-working musician, and I hope he can write memorable songs for the Asian Games."
Leehom Wang feels very honored and responsible for this role. He began to actively participate in the collection of music works, calling on music lovers around the world to participate in the music creation of the Asian Games through various channels and platforms. Not only did he personally review each piece, but he also invited some of the music industry veterans to participate in the selection process to ensure that each selected piece would represent the spirit and style of the Asian Games.
In July 2021, Henan suffered a historically rare heavy rain disaster, and Wang Leehom immediately lent a helping hand and donated 1.43 million yuan to the affected areas. This move made many people see his sense of responsibility and love as a public figure.
Some netizens expressed their gratitude to him on social media: "Wang Leehom is really a person with great love, not only does he do well in music, but he also does not forget to lend a hand at this time." "This disaster has made many people feel helpless, and Leehom Wang's donation has really helped a lot, thank you for his support of Henan."
Work.
Leehom Wang's story is an example of hard work, challenge and growth. He is not only a singer, but also an ordinary person who insists on chasing his dreams in the face of adversity, and this spirit is worthy of learning and respect from each of us.
