Chen Huixian, others are "a song to eat for a lifetime", but her "divine comedy" is too much: "a thousand and one songs", "drifting snow", "black tea house", "silly girl", "where life does not meet" ...
At that time, Chen Huixian competed with Mui Yanfang in the Cantonese music scene, and if Mui Yanfang is the eternal queen, she is the eternal princess. After Chen Huixian studied abroad, Faye Wong rose up in the singing world, and to this day some people still ask:
If Chen Huixian had not gone to study at her peak, would Faye Wong have caught fire?
Nowadays, the peak of the Cantonese music scene has long passed, Mei Yan's aroma has disappeared, And Faye Wong has retired for many years, and only Chen Huixian is still insisting on singing and running tours.
The "Thousand Nights Dispute" between Chen Huixian and Mei Yanfang ("Song of a Thousand Thousand Ques" and "Song of the Sunset") made Chen Huixian temporarily leave the song world with regrets, and it is still a "suspense case" in the hearts of fans.
1. Debut: "Princess Of Hong Kong Music", a collection of thousands of pets in one
Chen Huixian has a good voice that can be called a gift from heaven, clear and transparent, mournful but not hurtful, even if the saddest love song is sung by her, she is not humble and generous.
Discovered by a star scout at the age of 18, he released a record "Girls Magazine" with Chen Lemin and Li Zhishan in January 1984, and won the "Most Promising Newcomer Award" of the top ten Chinese with the single "The Promise of the Lost".
Half a year later, she released her debut album "The Feeling of the Story", which sold well and won the "Platinum Record Award" that year.
Personally, I believe that Chen Huixian's popularity is the creation of the times. In the Hong Kong music scene before her, popular mature and beautiful female singers, such as Mui Yanfang, Ye Qianwen, and the popularity of Nakamori Mingcai, this "pure student sister" trend also blew to Hong Kong, chen Huixian became the lucky one selected by the times.
In the past few years, her "Priscilla", "Rebellion", "Change", "Silly Girl" have all become popular, and the sales have repeatedly won platinum, winning the Silver Award for Female Singer in the Music Scene in 1988, while the gold award is Mei Yanfang and the bronze award is Lin Yilian.
Only 5 years after her debut, Chen Huixian was only 24 years old when she became the queen of the limelight.
On the stage, she is the "Princess of Change", people call her "Princess Xian", saying that she is "Princess of Hong Kong Music", in 1988 she opened a singing in Guangzhou, and also became the first Female Singer from Hong Kong, China to come to the mainland to sing.
At that time, Chen Huixian and Jacky Cheung, who later "became the god of song", were the golden children and jade girls of PolyGram, and sang many songs such as "Whispering in the Middle of the Night", "Love and Commitment", etc., and fans also liked their CP.
Second, the rapids bravely retreated: the same song, farewell to Zhang Guorong and Chen Huixian
In 1989, the Hong Kong music scene was filled with a sad feeling of farewell.
Zhang Guorong announced his farewell to the music scene, and Tan Yonglin announced that he would no longer accept the award;
Mei Yanfang announced that she would no longer accept the award, and Chen Huixian also announced that she would temporarily leave the music scene to study.
At that time, there was a "Tan Zhang Controversy" between Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong, and Chen Huixian and Mei Yanfang also had a "Thousand Sunset Disputes": both songs were adapted from the Japanese singer Makoto Kondo's "Sunset Song", and the same song had different lyrics and different moods.
After many years, Chen Huixian personally told the ins and outs of this matter: it turned out that the radio DJ Huang Xiajun recommended the Japanese "Sunset Song" to Chen Huixian, and her supervising producer Ou Dingyu also felt that the song was very good, so she found the copyright owner Chen Shufen (Mei Yanfang's agent) and got the authorization.
After that, Mei Yanfang also liked the song, so she asked Chen Shufen for the copyright, and Chen Shufen said that she had sold it to Chen Huixian, and if she wanted this song, she would release it earlier than Chen Huixian. But Mei Yanfang did not do this, Chen Shaoqi filled in the lyrics, she sang the "Sunset Song", a week after Chen Huixian released "A Thousand And One Thousand Que Songs".
The result of the "confrontation" between the two songs is that Chen Huixian's "Thousand and Thousand Que Songs" has a circulation of 350,000 copies, and Mei Yanfang's "Sunset Song" has a circulation of nearly 200,000 copies, an overwhelming advantage.
Therefore, before the "Golden Melody Golden Melody Award" of the 7th Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony in 1989, many people thought that it must be "A Thousand And One Songs" that won the award. However, due to the entanglement of Guan Wei, general manager of Poly Gold, with TVB, the "Most Popular Female Singer" and the Golden Melody Gold Award were awarded to Mei Yanfang and "Sunset Song".
Chen Huixian, who was young and vigorous, said goodbye to the music scene with regret at the farewell concert at the end of 1989 with "a thousand and one songs".
In the same year, Zhang Guorong also sang this song at the farewell concert of the song world.
Now that I think about it, Lin Zhenqiang's "Song of a Thousand And One Ques" and Chen Shaoqi's "Song of the Sunset" filled in the lyrics, one is a parting song that is directly lyrical to the chest, and the other is a lament for life, and both songs are rare masterpieces.
Unfortunately, after a song of "A Thousand And One Songs" was sung, Chen Huixian turned to leave, and the most brilliant "one page" on her star path also came to an abrupt end.
Third, return to the music world: things are not people, the music world has changed the world
Chen Huixian went to study abroad to fulfill her promise to her father, but when she returned from studying in psychology in 1995, the music scene was already the world of Faye Wong and Lin Yilian.
Lin Yilian, in 1990, won the Gold Award for Female Singer in the Music Scene for "Falling in Love with a Person Who Doesn't Go Home";
Faye Wong, who won the Most Popular Female Singer Award in 1994 for "Sky", held 18 "Most Wonderful Concerts" at Hung Hom Pavilion in the same year, breaking the record for the first concert of a Singer from Hong Kong, China;
There are also Zheng Xiuwen and Peng Ling, on popularity, on singing skills, everything does not lose Chen Huixian.
In 1995, Chen Huixian's first album "Welcome Back" was sought after by fans, but the following year the "princess" had to face a reality: she, in the eyes of the company, was just a "singer" and no longer a "queen of heaven".
Ou Dingyu, who was also her gold medal producer, transferred her love during Chen Huixian's study abroad, and her 6-year relationship rivaled the distance of a different place.
After the "transfer" from PolyGram to the new Yibao, the nobles who could help her "seem to have all disappeared". She asked how the new record would be positioned, and they replied "no rush"; she proposed a small concert, and they said "no budget".
Helplessly, Chen Huixian, who was "hidden in the snow", chose to quit the music scene again in 2000.
What is even more unexpected is that since this year, she has entered and exited the music scene three times, and each time has been accompanied by a major blow to her emotional life.
Fourth, emotional life: when encountering people, three relationships are "seriously injured"
Although Chen Huixian is a queen of heaven, her life circle is not large, and almost every relationship occurs at work: the first love Ou Dingyu is.
The difference between the two is 8 years, love begins with mutual appreciation, as Chen Huixian's executive producer, Ou Dingyu often proudly says to other female singers such as Kwong Meiyun: "You have to sing like Chen Huixian."
When Chen Huixian studied abroad in 1989, the two still firmly believed that the relationship would not deteriorate, but in the second year of her trip abroad, Ou Dingyu told her: "I have new feelings", and later Chen Huixian learned: he married a wife who looked like her.
In the days after the breakup, Chen Huixian poured out her feelings to lyricist Lin Zhenqiang and wrote the popular "Drifting Snow".
However, Ou Dingyu and Chen Huixian are still friends at work.
A few years later, Chen Huixian held a concert, Ou Dingyu gave her accompaniment, she sang the song "Later": "If we could not be so stubborn at that time, we are not so sorry now."
Chen Huixian also finally admitted: "Ou Dingyu is the person who loves me the most, he is really a very good man." But when I think about it, it is also fate that dooms us to separate. It was enough to have been together, at least to know that someone had ever loved me that way. ”
Chen Huixian's second relationship is with her own image consultant Zhang Zhuowen.
The love affair between the two of them, from 1994 to the end of 2002, Chen Huixian has been too devoted to love for eight years, like the lyrics of the song "confused, gathered in the heart, tracking a cold wind", hoping that a self-centered man will change for her.
"He's really not my ideal man, he's a self-centered man who thinks he can cure him, but I fail."
Two relationships failed one after another, coupled with a bad career, she suffered from anxiety disorder.
With the anxiety disorder comes a drug reaction - overeating, friends to help her, the food in the refrigerator with chains, she will even get up in the middle of the night to pick the lock, or take a saw blade to break the combination lock!
In 2003, when Chan was seeking medical treatment for an anxiety disorder, she met her third boyfriend: Dr. Xie Guolin. The two are middle school classmates, he has a crush on the goddess for a long time, and by taking the opportunity to see a doctor, he takes care of everything and takes care of it.
Chen Huixian once thought that she had found the "right person" and publicly showed her love to him at the concert: "I hope you sincerely treat me, like me, and hope that we will grow old together." ”
But this is still a scumbag. In 2007, Xie Guolin was caught by the media stealing love nurses, and the two broke up.
But she gave him enough decency to let him move out after finding a house, and told the media: "The separation is not because he cheated on other women, but because he can't communicate ideologically." ”
No wonder Lin Zhenqiang wrote "Silly Girl" for her! She was a kind and silly girl.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="93" > conclusion</h1>
At the age of 56, Chen Huixian is still the "princess" in the hearts of loyal fans.
Facing herself, facing the fans, facing the media, she teased lightly and lightly, and she had a sense of relief about all the past.
At the concert, she said to the fans: "I am a sheng girl, the bloom of flowers."
In the interview, she told the reporter who urged the marriage: "It's too difficult to meet a person who is suitable, who I like, and who also likes me." ”
For the "Battle of a Thousand Sunsets" that was once difficult to reconcile, Chen Huixian simply sang "A Thousand And a Thousand Que Songs" and "Sunset Songs" together at the concert.
Someone asked her: What dreams do you have now? She said:
"Even if there are only a few fans in the heavy rain, I will sing to the end in the rain."
