Gu Jianfen, as a weightless figure in the history of Chinese music, has many disciples.
Among them, singers Na Ying and Yang Kun are the mainstays of the Chinese music scene.
She commented on her disciple Na Ying like this: "She has a good voice and a dog brain!" ”
The Daolang incident of that year, due to the voice of his disciple Na Ying, made this eighty-year-old artist almost lose his life!
There are rumors that Gu Jianfen also criticized and suppressed Daolang's music.
This matter has become an indelible controversy on Gu Jianfen, so what is the truth of the matter?
Did Gu Jianfen really add fuel to the fire when Daolang was verbally criticized?
The godmother of music has also been treated coldly
Gu Jianfen's status in the Chinese music scene is like the Dinghai Shenshen Needle of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, stable and reliable.
However, what is less known is that although Gu Jianfen is Chinese, he was born in Japan.
Due to his background, Gu Jianfen was sent to the countryside when he was young, and feeding pigs and picking up manure was his daily work.
Boyfriend Xing Bo never gave up, and the two talked about a long-distance relationship for a long time before getting married.
After marriage, Gu Jianfen gave birth to two daughters for Xing Bo, and Gu Jianfen chose to leave as soon as the child turned 100 days.
The labor in the countryside is not over yet, and Xing Bo has no choice but to be a father and a mother at the same time.
In 1976, Gu Jianfen was able to return to Beijing to reunite with his family, and the children were already in primary school.
Both home and outside were handled very well by Xing Bo, and Gu Jianfen decided to start concentrating on creation.
After 45-year-old Gu Jianfen saw the earth-shaking changes in the motherland, he improvised the song "Young Friends Come to Meet".
At that time, people were not very receptive to new songs, believing that they were the products of the old society, and there were constant criticisms.
What's more, they think that this song is just to hinder the progress and development of society, and that it is useless.
After Gu Jianfen heard the blow from the outside world, he also began to doubt:
"Am I really bad at this song? Am I really fit to compose music and lyrics? ”
Her husband, Xing Bo, praised her and proposed to use a questionnaire survey to solve the confusion in her heart.
Factories, streets, and schools are everywhere, and people put their ideas into words on questionnaires.
In order to increase the number of people, Xing Bo and Gu Jianfen rushed to other places by car to distribute questionnaires.
The song sounded over the city, and the questionnaire was quickly distributed, and in the end, 99% of the people said they liked the song very much.
She smiled when she saw the result and handed the song to singer Li Guyi.
The lyrics are catchy, the melody is brisk, and it is widely sung, and since then, Gu Jianfen's fame has become more and more famous.
Just when her talents were springing up, Gu Jianfen made a bold decision to make her a "music godmother"!
Dedicated his life to music
Gu Jianfen, who is nearly 50 years old, opened a "Gu Jianfen Vocal Music Center" after discussing with her husband Xing Bo.
The source of funds is the furniture at home and the money borrowed from friends, a total of 50,000 yuan.
When this news came out, many people questioned: Gu Jianfen wants fame and fortune, what an ugly face!
It is said that Gu Jianfen's alma mater said that it was ashamed of her, but the truth of this rumor needs to be verified.
In this regard, Gu Jianfen's speech made countless people scold her as a sanctimonious hypocrite:
"My songs are boycotted when I sing them by myself, so I'll find a bunch of excellent singers and seedlings for them to sing, it's always okay!"
Such a roundabout approach is indeed very wise, and it is true that you can enjoy yourself!
In order to welcome the arrival of students, Gu Jianfen not only waived tuition fees, rented male and female dormitories, but also paid living expenses to students.
Such a good treatment made Sun Nan, Na Ying, Liu Huan and others all enter the vocal music center.
Since there is a dormitory, there must be a canteen, but Gu Jianfen has no extra money to find someone.
So what to do? Gu Jianfen's husband Xing Bo volunteered to serve as the school's "cafeteria aunt" in order to support his wife!
He studied the recipes attentively, and when the students saw Xing Bo, they would cordially call "Teacher Xing".
In order to improve everyone's professionalism and appreciation, Gu Jianfen also invited Jin Tielin over.
He is the teacher of Li Guyi and Song Zuying, and can be said to be a living fossil of Chinese music history.
With the support of such a strong teacher, a group of singers and singers have come out.
It is no exaggeration to say that Gu Jianfen is the godmother of pop music in the mainland.
Such a high-status figure, but in his later years, he was almost discredited because of a rumor!
Rumor or truth?
Daolang's song "The First Snow in 2002" became popular all over the country.
From children to the elderly, they can all hum a few words casually.
In the next five years, the wind direction of the Chinese music scene has gradually changed, and Daolang is that outlet.
Gu Jianfen, who has many disciples, held a music seminar with the theme of "resisting the vulgar atmosphere of songs and advocating the health of music"!
It talks about the lyrics in Daolang's "Impulsive Punishment" as a negative teaching material.
Think that the song is just garbage that has no value and can be thrown away and discarded.
Especially one of the sentences that made Gu Jianfen directly blackface!
"If you don't know how many glasses I drank that day; You won't understand how beautiful you really are. ”
This is simply a profligate wreck for Gu Jianfen, who was born in the thirties, foul language!
Her style of composition was very positive, and the society at the time was lacking in this energy.
Different stances and encounters have created different musical styles.
However, after the symposium, Gu Jianfen's idea was finalized and became the "gold medal arrow" for everyone to attack Daolang!
Three years later, Na Ying and Daolang both participated in the top ten singers selection and were interviewed.
When the reporter talked about her opinion of Daolang, she actually bluntly said that Daolang's songs did not have an aesthetic point of view.
This remark can be said to add a fire to Gu Jianfen's statement.
Everyone speculated why she dared to say this, it must be the influence of her ears and eyes, and the spearhead was pointed at Gu Jianfen again.
After that, Daolang was unanimously boycotted by insiders, and many singers said:
"Whenever I go, I can't invite Daolang!"
Daolang's concert has not been reviewed and approved for a long time, and album sales have also been affected.
This kind of style made Daolang reluctant to choose to quit the circle, and the speech of quitting the circle was meaningful.
Unaware netizens put all the faults on Gu Jianfen's head.
After all, Na Ying is Gu Jianfen's proud protégé, and the master and apprentice are both prosperous and loss-oriented.
A few years ago, Daolang returned to the music scene and made the song "Rakshasa Sea City".
There were rumors again, Gu Jianfen once again posted a criticism of Daolang, saying that the song was overly entertaining and commercialized.
Soon, Gu Jianfen responded to refute the rumors, saying that the article was untrue and would reserve the right to sue.
In fact, Gu Jianfen's intersection with Daolang from beginning to end was just an evaluation more than ten years ago.
The rest of the stuff is just a cloud of people.
Now that Gu Jianfen has lost her husband and daughter, she has walked out of her grief with music creation.
At the age of more than 90, he is still contributing to Chinese music.
How can such a person not be admired?
