Speaking of Wang Kun, what we immediately think of is a series of classic old songs that she has sung, such as "The North Wind Blows, Snowflakes Flutter" in the opera "White Haired Girl", such as "The Song of Farmers" in the large-scale musical and dance epic "Dongfang Hong", as well as "Northern Shaanxi Province" and "My Hometown Yimeng Mountain". Her singing style is pure and simple, exuding a strong earthy aroma. And her naturally good voice, more like a natural sound, is unforgettable.

I think that as a fruitful old artist, she has not only made brilliant achievements in her vocal career, but also cultivated a large number of outstanding singing talents who are loved by everyone for the development of music in China.

The students she has trained have occupied most of the music scene in the 80s. Speaking of each of them, I think everyone is familiar with it.

And why can Wang Kun cultivate so many outstanding talents? I think it is inseparable from her broad mind. She never asked her students to be exactly like herself and become the second "Wang Kun", but worked hard to tap the strengths and characteristics of each of them, and carefully polished them, and finally made them shine brightly.

So, who are Wang Kun's students? Today, let's choose 10 of them to give you an introduction. Look at these students, how has it been over the years? How has it changed?

< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >1, Expedition: Was known as "Little Wang Kun" at that time</h1>

In 1977, the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe was reorganized to recruit a group of young actors. To this end, Wang Kun traveled to many parts of the country to select talents. At the Tianjin Conservatory of Music, she found a good seedling, that is, an expedition. At that time, the expedition was only a student of the affiliated middle school of the Tianjin Conservatory of Music, young, and he was particularly nervous during the exam, singing "Red Meizan" and not even singing it several times.

However, Wang Kun discovered the unique charm of her sweet voice and announced her admission on the spot. The expedition thus became the first young singer in that group of young actors to appear on the stage of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe. And her first appearance was in the Great Hall of the People. It can be seen how optimistic Wang Kun was about her at that time, and how high her starting point was.

The expedition also lived up to expectations and soon stood out. Her singing of "Animal Spirits", "Little Cattle Herding", "Butterfly Spring" and so on were warmly welcomed by the audience. The most memorable thing about the expedition was her good voice like a silver bell, which was particularly crisp and sweet, full of affection. Therefore, she was also known as "Little Wang Kun".

But then she chose to go abroad, and we haven't seen her perform for a long time. Now that she is no longer young, she has lived well under her close care, settling in North America and working in a number of cultural undertakings.

<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >2, Cheng Lin: Became a student of Wang Kun at the age of 13</h1>

Cheng Lin is extremely talented in music. She was admitted to the Haizheng Song and Dance Troupe in 1978, when she was only 11 years old. And Wang Kun is a Bole who does not give up any good seedlings. She met Cheng Lin during a train ride, and immediately felt that this child was very good, so she accepted her as a student. At that time, Cheng Lin was only 13 years old.

Cheng Lin was originally an erhu player, but It was Wang Kun who discovered her singing talent and focused on cultivating, especially the free switching of true and false voices, all of which were learned from Wang Kun. Later, she recorded albums such as "Childhood's Little Rocker" and "Little Snail", which were quite popular and still unforgettable. She can be said to be one of the earliest pop music singers in China, and her fame is naturally inseparable from Wang Kun's vigorous support.

At that time, Wang Kun taught students, and he never charged a fee. Later, Cheng Lin went to the United States, the same vocal teacher, the charging standard for each class hour there was a sky-high price. This made Cheng Lin miss the days of learning to sing with Wang Kun in the past. And I felt more deeply what a selfless artist Wang Kun was.

Cheng Lin is a singer I personally admire very much, and I can't get tired of listening to many of the songs she sings, such as "Panda Mimi", "If The Wine Is Sold Without", "Hometown Feelings", "Xintianyou" and so on. Today, at the age of 53, she is still singing, and her singing voice is still so penetrating.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >3, Zheng Xulan: From a female worker to becoming a pillar of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, it was Wang Kun who trained her</h1>

Like the expedition, Zheng Xulan was also a musical talent that Wang Kun discovered in Tianjin. She was just a female worker in the factory at that time, and she was not very pretty, and when she sang on stage, she was like an angry little daughter-in-law. But Wang Kun saw her potential and recruited her into the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe in 1977. Not only taught her to sing, but also taught her typhoons. Later, when we saw Zheng Xulan on TV, her stage performance was already very mature and stable. And all this, it was Wang Kun who exercised her.

Zheng Xulan was definitely a first-line red singer in the 80s, and her singing of "Sun Island", "Shepherd Song", "Mother Taught Me a Song" and so on were widely sung. Only later she also got married, went abroad, and then returned to the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe several times. When she appeared in front of the public again, her stage image changed greatly, and Zheng Xulan, who was still a little shy in the past, disappeared, and was replaced by a female singer with bright costumes and changeable performances. In contrast, more fans seem to like Zheng Xulan in the past. She is now 62 years old and still singing. But the influence is not as great as before.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >4, Zhu Mingying: a dancer valued by Wang Kun</h1>

Zhu Mingying was originally a dancer of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, and it was also with the help of Wang Kun that he started his own path as a singer. In the special era, Wang Kun entered the cowshed, and the little girl who guarded the cowshed was Zhu Mingying. She found that Zhu Mingying was not only in good shape, could dance, but also had a strong sense of music, so she asked Zhu Mingying if she would like to learn to sing with herself, and Zhu Mingying naturally couldn't ask for it. So he became another student of Wang Kun.

According to Zhu Mingying's characteristics, Wang Kun positioned her as a form of "singing and dancing", and in 1980, at the "New Star Concert" held by the Beijing Evening News, she was grandly launched, making her a star in the spotlight overnight. Subsequently, Zhu Mingying sang "Back to Mother's Home" at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and for a time it was even more popular all over the country.

Zhu Mingying was already a national first-class actor in 1986. Later, she went to the United States to study at her own expense and obtained excellent results. In 1995, she returned to China and founded "Beijing Mingying Development Co., Ltd.", serving as president, cultivating and discovering many talents. Now that she is 70 years old, she often appears in some large performances, singing her classic old songs of the year.

<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >5, Mou Xuanfu: Former young actor, now the leader of the troupe</h1>

Mou Xuanfu is a singer discovered by Wang Kun in Heilongjiang. In 1978, he entered the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe and was soon welcomed by a wide audience with his bright, crisp voice and harmonious singing. I remember in 1982, in a movie "Flowers of the Orient" dedicated to the actors of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, he sang a folk song, which was original and evocative.

Over the years, his singing of "Butterfly" and "Bamboo Rustling" still echoes in our ears. Now 61 years old, he is already a national first-class actor and enjoys special allowances from the State Council. And has grown into the head of the China Coal Mine Cultural and Labor Troupe.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >6, Sophie: The "one flower" of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe at that time, but died prematurely</h1>

Wang Kunzhen has a pair of eyes, she can find her musical talent from many ordinary young people. Sobriel is one of them. Originally just a clerk in a construction company, she was selected by Wang Kun because she liked to sing, and personally taught her singing skills and how to communicate with the audience on stage, which made her grow up quickly.

Sophie is very beautiful and is known as the "one flower" of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe. And her voice is as sweet as her image, and the "Birthday Song", "Duck Slaying Song", "My Heart Belongs to You" and so on are very popular with the audience. But later, after she got married, she also went to Germany with her husband and said goodbye to the stage. Even more distressing is that she died of cancer in 2015 at the age of 56.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >7, Cheng Fangyuan: Wang Kunli recruited her into the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe</h1>

Cheng Fangyuan is a very familiar actor, and her style of singing with a guitar in the 80s is very deeply rooted in people's hearts. But the road to fame is not so easy. Because she, like Cheng Lin, is also an erhu actor, many people are very dismissive of her idea of becoming a singer. However, Wang Kun tried his best to defy the public opinion, recruited her into the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, and paved the way for her future development, which led to the Chengfangyuan that sang "Wandering Zi Yin" throughout China.

Cheng Fangyuan has been working hard to develop Chinese musical theater over the years. "The Sound of Music", starring her, has left a very deep impression on us. In December 2014, she sang "Missing into Death" at the "Leave the Song for the Future - Wang Kun Memorial Concert", which made the audience extremely moved. Now 60 years old, she is already a national actor, and she has frequently appeared in various evenings.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >8, Wei Wei: Because of Wang Kun, it is valued by everyone</h1>

Wei Wei has been very fond of singing since he was a child, and he has a lot of musical talent. However, when she first arrived in Beijing to develop, it was particularly difficult, and she was admitted to many groups, and no one wanted her. Later, Wang Kun heard that she sang well, so he went to see her performance. As a result, after the news came out, many people said that she was "favored by Wang Kun". As a result, some units that were not optimistic about her began to pay attention to her and threw olive branches at her.

Therefore, Wei Wei always said that it was because of Wang Kun that she became a fragrant feast. Although she did not enter the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe at that time, she learned a lot from Wang Kun as a student and was full of gratitude to Wang Kun. Wei Wei hasn't sung much in recent years, and spends more time with his own children. In 2013, she participated in the "I Am a Singer" program, and the song "Love Seeking" let everyone relive her style. Now she is 57 years old, and she is already a national actor.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >9, Guo Rong: Wang Kun's disciple</h1>

Without Wang Kun, Guo Rong might still be just a small singer in Yingchuan, Sichuan. In 1984, when Guo Rong was only 13 years old, she was discovered by Wang Kun, who performed in Sichuan, and was shocked by the explosive power she showed, and immediately decided to recruit her into the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe and train and package her in all aspects. After a period of professional study, Guo Rong made rapid progress, from a rural girl to a popular female singer loved by the audience.

Among all the students of Wang Kun, the one who changed the most was not Zheng Xulan, nor Cheng Lin, but Guo Rong. In Guo Rong, Wang Kun poured a lot of effort into it, not only teaching her music theory knowledge, but also teaching her the principle of being a person, even including makeup and styling during the performance, she was very worried. I remember that during a performance, Guo Rong wore a costume that she thought was very fashionable, and after Wang Kun saw it, he severely criticized her, saying that the shape was very ugly. Since then, Guo Rong has been very concerned about her performance image, always with a shawl and long hair, giving people a very refreshing feeling.

Now 49 years old, Guo Rong is already a singer that everyone knows and loves, and her singing of "Red Flag Fluttering" and "Love My China" are deeply loved by the majority of fans.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >10, Li Lingyu: Once "resented" Wang Kun</h1>

In the 1980s, Li Lingyu became the "Queen of Sweet Songs" for singing a series of sweet songs. However, as an actor in the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, Wang Kun, the leader of the troupe at the time, put forward higher requirements for her, believing that she should not be limited to the field of "sweet songs", but should be developed in many ways. However, at that time, when Li Lingyu was most popular, where could she listen to the words of her teacher Wang Kun? Not only did he not listen to it, but he was also very disgusted with the teacher's words, and even resented him.

Many years later, when Li Lingyu participated in a talk show, she talked about her feelings for Teacher Wang Kun and burst into tears. She said that it was because she didn't understand things at that time that she had some resistance to her mentor, and after many years she really understood that her mentor was completely for her own development. In fact, Li Lingyu's "sweet song style" was indeed only red for a while, and then disappeared. Later, she tried to break through herself and felt particularly difficult. Now Li Lingyu is 57 years old, although she is still singing, but it still gives people the feeling of eating the old meaning.

From the expedition to Zheng Xulan, from Zhu Mingying to Guo Rong, Wang Kun found and cultivated too many singing talents. From this, we can also see the painstaking efforts of an old artist to the development of Chinese pop music. So which of these students trained by Mr. Wang Kun is the most popular?
