"I am a bud of your spring, I am a drop of water in your long river, my dreams fly from your arms, born to follow you, my life is incomparably honorable because of you... My life belongs to you... Leave everything to you, I have no complaints and no regrets..." A melodious "Love of the Motherland" sings the strong and deep love of hundreds of millions of Chinese sons and daughters for the mother of the motherland, and life blooms in the warm sunshine.
Her singing voice is full of breath, and the beautiful melody ripples in the long river of life. Staves travel through the bloodstream, notes beat in the body...
She has never slackened her pace on the road of pursuing her musical dreams; she has experienced ups and downs and tenacious struggles on the way to insist on singing; she has cut through thorns and thorns along the way, and finally won the gold medal of the Chinese Young Singers Television Grand Prix.
She is the famous singer, actress of the General Political Song and Dance Troupe, and member of the 11th All-China Youth Federation Wang Lida - a Hunan "girl" with a frank personality, a cheerful laugh, and an authentic Hunan.
Bonding music
Born in a small town in Hunan, Wang Lida has loved singing, performing, and painting since she was a child. In elementary school, she performed a talent that was different from ordinary people, and was recommended by her teacher to learn singing at a professional school in Zhuzhou City. At that time, although the family was not rich, the whole family was very supportive of her, her parents applied for a transfer job, her brother transferred schools, and the family moved to the suburbs for Wang Lida's musical dreams, renting a house to live.
When she arrived at the new school, Wang Lida was very angry, and insisted on running to the vegetable field to practice her voice every morning before going to class, and then went to class after practicing her voice. Once, Wang Lida heard that the Municipal Children's Art Troupe was enrolled, and Wang Lida, who loves singing, certainly did not miss this excellent opportunity to show her singing voice. She asked her parents for 3 yuan, lied about buying things, but ran to register for the exam. Wang Lida sang a song "Nanniwan", and after singing, the invigilator asked her: "Are your parents here?" She shook her head. You sing well, the conditions are good, go back to your parents and tell them that you should focus on cultivation. ”
Although she was very happy, Wang Lida, who knew the actual situation at home, consulted with her mother: "I don't want to buy a bicycle, I can walk to school, save the money to buy a car, make up for half a year's tuition, and ask Teacher Li (Li Zhizhong) to teach me to sing." "Because I just moved, the cost is very large, and my mother can take out half a year's tuition at a time." Looking at her daughter's expectant eyes, the mother, who has always been reluctant to ask for someone, trembled to find Teacher Li and expressed her hope to pay the tuition in installments. Unexpectedly, Teacher Li did not hesitate and immediately agreed.
Wang Lida did not fail to live up to her family's cultivation of her, and in 1993, she was admitted to the Hunan Vocational College of Arts majoring in flower drum performance. Speaking of these four years of study, Wang Lida has always believed that the hard practice of the basic skills of singing, reading, doing and playing four flower drum plays during this period has laid a solid foundation for her development on the road of singing. Near graduation, the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts went to Hunan to enroll, and Wang Lida tried to apply for the vocal music and musical theater performance major. In the first examination, she won the favor of many examiners. When the examiners returned to Beijing, they repeatedly instructed: "Wang Lida, you must come to Beijing!" After that, Wang Lida was full of thoughts, made up her mind, and said to her mother: "I want to go to Beijing." ”
Opportunities are always left to those who are prepared. In March 1997, Wang Lida resolutely came to Beijing to participate in the re-examination of military art. The two and three tests were successfully passed, the ranking was in the front, and the physical examination was also passed. But only Wang Lida herself knew best, her biggest dream at that time was to apply for the China Conservatory of Music, and to worship Jin Tielin as a teacher. Originally, she did not have much hope, but in the professional examination of the China Conservatory of Music, she rushed to the end.
Finally, Kung Fu paid off, and in August of that year, Wang Lida was not only admitted to the China Conservatory of Music to study ethnic vocal music, but also fortunately accepted as a disciple by Professor Jin Tielin, the dean of the China Conservatory of Music and China's most prestigious educator. Upon learning this news, Wang Lida couldn't believe that this was true, "Teacher Jin is a musician, and he is such a highly respected teacher, who has trained a large number of national famous singers and singers such as Peng Liyuan, Yan Weiwen, Song Zuying, Zhang Ye, and now he is also his disciple!" After that, Wang Lida worshiped under Teacher Jin and immersed herself in learning music knowledge.
"A sword in ten years"
During her college years, Wang Lida listened carefully to Teacher Jin's teachings, studied music knowledge without distraction, and practiced her singing skills wholeheartedly. In her own words, she lived a life of three points and one line in the piano room, dormitory, and canteen, and no one outside knew her.
In 2000, Wang Lida participated in the Youth Song Contest for the first time, and Teacher Jin was also very supportive. However, this time the experience of participating in the competition made her unforgettable. On the day of the competition, the weather was extremely hot, and Wang Lida, who had been busy preparing for the competition, began to eat uncontrollably, and her throat was out of condition. During the game, she was overly nervous and played abnormally, and as a result, she failed to enter the individual final and was "eliminated". Such a blow is difficult for Wang Lida, who participated in the competition for the first time, for a while. For 3 days after the game, she did not take a step out of the dormitory door, tears kept flowing, and a thought kept swirling in her head: Teacher Jin, I am sorry for you. After Jin Tielin learned of Wang Lida's situation, he called her, not only did not criticize her, but also encouraged her vigorously: "The teacher does not blame you, you are still young; I give you 100 chances to fail, and you still have 99 times." This made Wang Lida feel extremely relieved, and also gave her courage to quickly walk out of the pain of failure and devote herself to studying and training harder.
In June 2002, Wang Lida, who had graduated, came to the scene of the 10th "Youth Song Competition" to show her singing voice. This time, she was not only fully prepared, but also fortunate that her entry was a song "Yimeng Mountain, My Mother-in-Law" tailored to her by the famous composer Wang Yougui and the lyricist Zhang Taiqi. The song was difficult and a real challenge for her. The work itself is very contagious, when she sings "Niang, Niang..." The spring of her heart surges, and the tears "swell" down. The rich emotions of the song, coupled with Wang Lida's emotional singing, received a round of applause from the audience. Because Wang Lida's homework was done in depth, many listeners mistakenly thought that she was from Shandong. In the end, Wang Lida won the silver medal of the professional group of ethnic singing with an excellent score of 99.15 points. Although it is not a gold award, it gives Wang Lida a great affirmation of her hard work for many years. She saw hope on the road of music and has redoubled her efforts ever since.
Time passed to 2004, on the evening of July 22, the CCTV studio was full of lights and singers. Another "Youth Song Competition" of the professional group ethnic singing method individual finals is carried out here in an intense and orderly manner. After 4 years, Wang Lida, more sophisticated and mature, full of confidence, she is extraordinary, high-pitched voice, beautiful movements, rich expressions, with a song "Kiss the Motherland" conquered the 12 judges present, won the competition professional group national singing silver award, but has always been very spirited, the music career excellence Wang Lida is not satisfied with the achievements achieved, she also wants to sprint to a higher level.
Wang Lida said: "I know, I have won the silver medal twice, and I have a big problem myself. I started to reflect, so in 2005, I began to come up with a "new trick", I came up with an audiophile disc "500 Miles". "Under the influence of Sarah Brightman, Wang Lida subverted the previous national singing method." At that time, many people said that I did not follow the right path. However, I decided that I was still following my folk song path and just wanted to diversify my style in different ways. The reason is simple, because of youth, there is nothing that you dare not try. Wang Lida said. After that, she held a concert, singing half of her "500 Miles" and half of her winning songs in the youth song contest. The response was particularly good. The success of this concert was also recognized by her mentor Jin Tielin.
Because the song treatment of popular singing method is very different from folk songs, Wang Lida so boldly challenged the combination of pop and ethnicity, and achieved good results, which made her go wider and wider on the road of future music development. Finally, Wang Lida did not let her hard work be wasted, and she once again went to another peak in her life: she won the gold medal in the national singing professional group in the 14th "Youth Song Competition" in 2010.
Before the competition, Wang Lida got the "true biography" of Peng Liyuan, "Every round of our repertoire, the actor's clothes were selected by her at nine meetings." "Yellow River Fisher Lady" is her song, and she carefully cuts word by word. The figure of the "Fisher Lady" was all drawn by Colonel Peng himself, and she personally instructed us on what headdress to wear, what kind of hair to wear, and so on. By the time I was really singing, I was full of confidence. Wang Lida said. When the judges announced that Wang Lida had won the gold award, this time she seemed very indifferent; the little girl who participated in the competition also shed tears of joy for her, saying: "Sister Wang finally got the gold award, it is really not easy, it has been ten years." Yes, wang Lida has been participating in the "Green Song Competition" for the first time in college to winning the gold medal for ten years, which is called "casting a sword in ten years".
Troop training
If the experience of the "Youth Song Competition" made Wang Lida mature in music, then the performance of the army with the General Political Song and Dance Troupe made her experience even richer. "The life with the warriors was real and deep." Wang Lida said.
After graduating from the Conservatory of Music, because of her excellent professionalism, Wang Lida was photographed by the General Political Song and Dance Troupe. After that, she began the military life of a female soldier. Recalling the experience of just entering the regiment's military training, Wang Lida still remembers it vividly.
Once, the troops were stationed in a small ravine in Shanxi, the air pressure was very low, coupled with the unsatisfactory water and soil, the diet was not accustomed, and Wang Lida's body was weak day by day, so she had to rely on oxygen and medicine to maintain. No matter how uncomfortable, she insisted every morning like other soldiers, get up at five o'clock, fold the quilt in 4 minutes, and then run training, in addition to completing the daily hard training, Wang Lida also performed for the officers and soldiers every day, and every time she would devote herself to singing every song well, so that the officers and soldiers would be happy and happy after training.
At the graduation ceremony, Wang Lida put on her military uniform for the first time and sang a song of "Retribution" for the soldiers. The officers and men in the audience clapped their hands and applauded one after another, and sincere and simple feelings were integrated into the hearts of each soldier.
In the past few years of the General Political Song and Dance Troupe, Wang Lida has repeatedly followed her colleagues in the troupe to perform condolences to the troops. During this period, she experienced the severe test of the harsh environment again and again, and felt the simple and deep feelings of the warriors again and again.
Once, the regiment organized "Re-walking the Glorious Road" to go down to the harbor. Wang Lida was sent to an island near Yantai, it was the first time in her life that she experienced such a long time on the boat, she was so seasick that she didn't even take medicine, but Wang Lida relied on her strong faith, vomited, vomited and insisted on eating, constantly insisting, and holding on hard. "I know it's my duty." Wang Lida said.
On the island, there were only 7 officers and men stationed on it, and their duty was to hold the gun ammunition magazine. There is only one simple barracks on the island, the natural conditions are harsh, and the living conditions are difficult. Such a scene deeply touched Wang Lida's heart. "They are very bitter, you can't imagine, many of them are the same age, their kind of not asking for returns, hard work is very touching." 」 For this touch, no matter how uncomfortable, Wang Lida will grit her teeth and insist on singing. "I stood by the ammunition depot and sang 4 songs, and after each song I shook hands with the seven officers and men, and they were also very moved." Wang Lida felt that if her singing voice could give strength to the warriors, it would be her great glory.
Perhaps from the tempering of setbacks, or from the experience of military life, after these years of music career and military life, Wang Lida's thoughts have been precipitated and sublimated. Now, after becoming a mother, Wang Lida's pace on the road to success has slowed down, and her mentality has been calmed, less impetuous and more peaceful. Some people wonder if Lida Wang has stopped on the road to pursuing her musical dreams. "Music is all I have, I'm a very simple person, and I love music as purely as I love my own life." Wang Lida said, "This is an impetuous society, and I feel that there is less and less care between people. I wanted to write a song that expressed mutual care between people. Because I hope that there is a song that can be stationed in people's hearts. ”
