"One is Langyuan Immortal, one is beautiful and flawless, one is the moon in the water, and the other is the flower ...... in the mirror"
At the 30th anniversary concert of "Dream of Red Mansions", Chen Li once again sang the song "Vain Eyebrows" poignantly, tactfully, and ethereal, which made people full of melancholy and infinite emotion, and applauded thunderily for a while.
In the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions", Chen Li was caught by composer Wang Liping at a glance and asked him to sing 13 songs. Chen Li also became popular with the theme song "Vain Eyebrows" and became a popular singer.
Before Chen Li became famous, he was just a worker at the Changchun First Automobile Factory. But after becoming popular, Chen Li did not insist on continuing to sing, and finally gradually disappeared from the public eye.
Chen Li was born in Jilin and began to learn to sing at a young age. And the talent is extremely high, after Chen Li graduated from middle school, he was also admitted to the Changchun Peking Opera Troupe in one fell swoop and began to sing Peking Opera.
Therefore, Chen Li's voice belongs to God's appreciation of food, and her life has also formed a fate with singing. However, Chen Li was later injured in a fall during a performance, and she could not continue to sing Peking Opera on stage. After that, Chen Li had no choice but to enter Changchun No. 1 Automobile Factory and became a laboratory technician.
But Chen Li did not give up singing, she joined the art troupe in the factory, and soon became the main actor of the art troupe, and gradually became famous.
At that time, Jilin TV had a program called "A Song of the Day", which often played songs sung by Chen Li.
Once, Wang Liping went to Changchun on a business trip and saw that "A Song of the Day" was playing Chen Li's song, Wang Liping was instantly attracted by Chen Li's singing, and then asked someone to find Chen Li, hoping to cooperate with her in the future.
In 1982, when CCTV was preparing to shoot the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions", the famous composer Wang Liping found director Wang Fulin, and he recommended himself to compose music for "Dream of Red Mansions". In this way, Wang Liping entered the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" and began to do his best to create music.
In the process of creating music, the crew and Wang Liping began to sing songs with suitable singers. At that time, the crew wanted to find well-known singers to sing, and some singers recommended themselves. Wang Liping believes that singers have a fixed singing mode, and he wants to enable newcomers. After thinking about it, Wang Liping thought of Chen Li.
Chen Li, who was still working in the factory at the time, was ecstatic when he heard the news.
The factory not only readily agreed to let Chen Li go to the crew, but also promised to pay her salary normally, so that she had no worries. In this way, Chen Li was lucky to be photographed by Wang Liping, and began to enter the crew directly like all actors.
Back then, after taking over the important task of composing the music for "Dream of Red Mansions", Wang Liping flipped through almost all versions of "Dream of Red Mansions", and he determined the tone of "Dream of Red Mansions": full of melancholy and infinite emotion.
For more than four years, Wang Liping has worked hard. "Funeral Flower Yin" alone took one year and nine months, and it was the theme song of the most bitter song written by Wang Liping, and "Vain Eyebrows" was written for one year and two months.
Because of the flawless requirements for the works, Wang Liping also has extremely high requirements for the singer Chen Li.
That time of cooperation also made the two unforgettable for life. In order to improve Chen Li's singing level, Wang Liping launched a strict training for her. During the day, Chen Li, like all actors, went to training, and at night Wang Liping gave her singing instructions.
Wang Liping's requirements are very strict, one note and one lyric. Anything that isn't perfect, have to start all over again. Chen Li was still a little confident, but under Wang Liping's strictness, she became less and less confident.
Many times, Chen Li cried when he recorded it. Wipe away your tears and record again.
It took a month to record "Vain Eyebrows". Just as they were about to continue recording, Chen Li's husband was diagnosed with cancer. Chen Li was about to give up "Dream of Red Mansions", and after accompanying her husband to surgery, Chen Li "rushed" back to the crew. The husband knew that "Dream of Red Mansions" was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Chen Li.
A few months later, Chen Li's husband's condition worsened, and she insisted on returning to him, but he eventually died. At that time, Chen Li's daughter was only 5 years old. She wanted to stay at home and take care of her daughter, but this time, it was Chen Li's mother who pushed her. Let her sing at ease and take care of her granddaughter by herself.
Chen Li returned to the crew with tears in his eyes, sad about the ruthlessness of fate. Chen Li seems to be singing about his life, and the song is vividly interpreted by Chen Li. Wang Liping sighed: Thirty years around the beam!
The hard work paid off, and after the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" was broadcast, Chen Li became popular in one fell swoop. The 13 songs she sang "Dream of Red Mansions", like the TV series, have become unsurpassed classics.
Since then, Chen Li has directly counterattacked from a laboratory technician at Changchun No. 1 Automobile Factory to a well-known singer who has become popular all over the country.
After becoming famous, recalling that year, Wang Liping was very strict and critical of her, and she was extremely grateful and said:
"The song has endured for so many years, thanks to Mr. Wang's strictness back then. If it weren't for him picking notes by note back then, I wouldn't be where I am today."
After becoming popular, Chen Li's worth also began to rise, and he once became one of the most popular female singers at that time.
She once recalled that her performance fee at that time was 30 times that of Na Ying, which was the highest in China.
"At that time, my performance fee was 300 yuan, Na Ying was 10 yuan, I was 300 yuan, and Dou Wei was 10 yuan.
That's the proportion."
But when Chen Li was at her peak, she made an important decision: she chose to stay away from the music scene and go to the sea to do business.
Back then, in order to treat her husband's illness, Chen Li not only emptied the family's savings, but also owed a lot of debts. Moreover, at that time, in order to complete the song of "Dream of Red Mansions", Chen Li could only entrust his 4-year-old daughter to his mother to take care of. The mother and daughter get together less and leave more, so in order to make money to pay off debts and have more time to accompany her daughter to grow up, she decided to choose to leave the music scene.
She and her friends registered a company, however, they didn't do any business, and they were arrested. The company's more than one million yuan is missing.
Chen Li has become the biggest suspect. It wasn't until more than half a year later that Chen Li was cleared. However, she was physically and mentally exhausted and shut down the company.
Just when Chen Li was most frustrated, her first love began to pursue herself again. And finally regained love Chen Li, for love and away from the hustle and bustle. In 1990, he took his daughter to live in Canada, and two years later, Chen Li married her boyfriend in Canada and started her married life again.
Since then, Chen Li has completely disappeared. Even Qiong Yao's drama "Grass by the Green River", asked her to sing the theme song, but she refused.
thought she could live a peaceful and comfortable life, but the hardships of life found her again.
In Canada, Chen Li often suffers from insomnia, and she has always thought that it is because of the water and soil. Later, he was diagnosed with an adrenal tumor. Chen Li hid the news of his cancer from his relatives and friends, and Chen Li underwent surgery, and the adrenal glands were removed, which led to a new condition of endocrine disorders. This in turn leads to a series of diseases, and for a very long period of time,
Chen Li has been undergoing surgery and treatment. Fortunately, Chen Li's husband has always been with her.
Although she was riddled with illness, with her husband and daughter by her side, she was never defeated by the illness, and her health gradually improved.
In 2017, "Dream of Red Mansions 30 Years Concert" invited Chen Li, at that time, Chen Li, who had undergone four surgeries
Hurt the abdominal muscles and seriously affect the use of dantian. She was afraid that the singing would not be what it used to be, and she had been hesitant.
In the end, in order to repay Wang Liping for his kindness, and for the audience and fans of "Dream of Red Mansions", Chen Li still agreed.
Chen Li stood on the stage and sang 3 songs in a row: "Vain Eyebrows", "Flesh and Bone" and "Autumn Window Wind and Rain". Looking back on that year, recalling half of his life, Chen Li's eyes kept shining with tears.
Now, Chen Li has long stopped singing
lived a low-key and ordinary life with his family
For the glory and achievements of the past
She also saw it very lightly
Now she can be described as bittersweet
In the second half of his life, only sweetness remains
