Talking about Chi Zhiqiang, many post-80s and post-90s viewers do not have much impression of this person, but people after the 60s and 70s, when they hear this name, their minds will definitely remember the melody of the red era: iron doors, iron windows, iron chains, holding the iron windows I look out...
This song of saliva, which seems today, became popular in the streets and alleys in the 1980s, and the word "iron window" and Chi Zhiqiang's name can be heard almost everywhere.
1. Li Youbin runs the dragon set, but he is a big name
In 1972, 14-year-old Chi Zhiqiang graduated from junior high school, passed the screening through the introduction of the teacher, and entered the Changchun Film Studio. The following year, after a short period of training, at the age of 15, he starred in his first film "Sunny Days".
Five years later, with a grumbling and frizzy bus conductor in the movie "Little Characters", he won the 1980 Ministry of Culture Outstanding Young Actor Creation Award, and was also received by the central leaders at that time.
Along with him, there are 11 young actors, including many now-famous actors and performing artists Tang Guoqiang, Liu Xiaoqing, Chen Chong, Pan Hong and so on.
Chi Zhiqiang was raised with Tang Guoqiang, Chen Chong, and Zhang Tielin, don't look at the difference now, but Chi Zhiqiang's fame at that time was similar to that of these current big names.
Among the many people who worked together as the producers of Changchun Film, Chi Zhiqiang was a big name, and many of them were still running the dragon set. Among them is the now famous actor, Li Youbin, the protagonist of "Bright Sword" and "Breaking into Kanto".
The lack of cultural life has made the film actors who can get up on fire. Chi Zhiqiang is like this, although the acting skills are not top-notch, not how good it is, but when he was young, he looked good, handsome and handsome, starred in several movies, and soon became popular.
According to his recollection, at that time, the mailroom had the most letters in the actor troupe, and he was the one who received the most letters in the actors' troupe.
2. It starts in Hebei, and the handcuffs are worn and finally hebei
In 1983, Chi Zhiqiang, who was filming the movie "Moon to Mid-Autumn Festival" in Hebei, returned to the guest house to rest after finishing his work.
Just after lying down for a while, there was a knock at the door. When I opened the door, I saw that it was a local policeman known by Chi Zhiqiang, who often went to the set to maintain order when shooting.
Chi Zhiqiang invited him into the house, but the policemen, who had been smiling in the past, stood outside the door and said with a serious look: Comrade Chi Zhiqiang, please come out.
As soon as he went out, Chi Zhiqiang saw that there were a lot of policemen standing in the corridor, and he felt that something was wrong. Waiting out of the guest house, Chi Zhiqiang was dumbfounded, there were more police officers outside, and there were two police cars.
A leader came over to him, said that he had handcuffed Chi Zhiqiang, and said to Chi Zhiqiang: I'm sorry, it's not that we want to arrest you, the Nanjing police entrusted us to arrest you.
This sentence, the word Nanjing made Chi Zhiqiang giggle in his heart, and a basin of cold water was poured from the beginning to the end.
When Chi Zhiqiang first entered the Changchun Film Studio, his first film was in Hebei County, Hebei, which was the starting point of his film road. Now he is also filming on location in Hebei and was arrested in Guanxian County, Hebei Province.
The news that a big star with a thriving career was suddenly arrested and imprisoned caused an uproar. Many years later, the public learned about the various details, including Liu Xiaoqing.
Chi Zhiqiang and Liu Xiaoqing cooperated in filming, Liu Xiaoqing's family ran to see her, because there were too many people in the crew only one car, could not be sent.
In that era, there were very few cars, generally public cars, Chi Zhiqiang volunteered to help Liu Xiaoqing find a car, and later hooked up with a divorced female employee of about 30 years old, who helped him find a car.
And the thing is with this divorced woman.
3. Behind the veneer dance is the big prison dug by desire
In order to thank Chi Zhiqiang for inviting the other party to dinner, the meal was not finished, the woman took a look at the handsome Chi Zhiqiang and invited him to dance together.
Dancing wasn't a big deal, but a group of them danced a veneer dance. Dancing in that era was a morally detrimental thing, and it was criticized for not paying attention, so most of them danced secretly in private. As soon as the curtains are drawn, the dim table lamp is turned on, and the men and women snuggle up to each other, it is easy to have a different kind of affection.
According to Chi Zhiqiang, dancing with him was a young girl, and the two danced with the girl and quietly said a time and place in his ear, asking him to play, and said that she was the only one in the family.
At that time, Chi Zhiqiang had a flight attendant girlfriend, but after all, he was young and could not resist the temptation, so he went the next day.
Then he was charged with messing with the relationship between men and women. ，
Chi Zhiqiang was sentenced to 4 years after his arrest, but because of his good performance, he made meritorious contributions many times and reduced his sentence by two years. This experience behind bars was the inspiration for his future as king of prison songs. Songs such as "Tears in the Iron Window", "Ten Shouldn'ts", and "Sorrow and Sorrow" were all created based on this experience.
From 1988 to 1990, Chi Zhiqiang released the albums "Tears of Regret" and "Embrace Tomorrow", which sold 10 million copies. Even if a plate only earned a dime, in that era, Chi Zhiqiang also earned a lot of money.
4. Chen Fuli: The entire album is sung by Zhai Huimin, and none of them are Chi Zhiqiang.
The taste of becoming famous again need not be said much, but then the rumors in the jianghu, the sales are so good that many of the songs that make Chi Zhiqiang popular all over the country are not sung by him.
In 2005, chi Zhiqiang was interviewed by the host on this issue. Zhou Yaping, the producer of the "Embrace Tomorrow" album, was asked who sang the song, and he looked at him as he was originally talking, and he became much quieter.
First of all, he said: No matter who sang it, these albums are Chi Zhiqiang's voice, and then he changed the topic and said: Chi Zhiqiang's artistic skills are very good, his voice is very good, and the recitation is very touching...
Later, the host went around the original song of the album, but Zhou Yaping has not responded positively.
But as soon as the 2005 interview was broadcast, there was one person who couldn't sit still, and that was Zhai Huimin.
After the show was broadcast, Zhai Huimin called the newspaper and said that he was the original singer of songs such as "Tears in the Iron Window", but no one believed him.
But unexpectedly, Zhou Yaping came forward, and a blog post revealed the entire fake singing incident behind it. Zhai Huimin said: Just to rush this point, I really want to thank Zhou Yaping, and I must tie the bell to the ringer!
Zhai Huimin has been dealing with music since childhood, and when he was a little famous, he was discovered by Chen Fuli, the producer of the "Tears of Remorse" album, and asked him to sing the songs on the album.
Why did you find Zhai Huimin, in fact, is because Chen Fuli sings with Chi Zhiqiang, because he has prison experience and is also famous. Unfortunately, singing is not good, in his words, "a bit of a five-tone incomplete". But they did not want to give up the advertising effect of Chi Zhiqiang, so they found Zhai Huimin to record for Chi Zhiqiang.
Chen Fuli said: In this album I made, Chi Zhiqiang only read one piece of dialogue, and the songs of the entire album were sung by Zhai Huimin, and none of the songs were sung by Chi Zhiqiang himself.
5. Zhai Huimin, who was replaced, also had to take a detour
The album created the sales myth of the album in the music world, the streets and alleys are full of music of prison songs, and Zhai Huimin's voice is popular with Chi Zhiqiang, but the aura of all this does not belong to him.
Not only did it not belong to him, Zhai Huimin had to take a detour when he saw Chi Zhiqiang.
The two first met in 1989, Chi Zhiqiang was performing, and Zhai Huimin went to see it. Chi Zhiqiang had seen the photo of Zhai Huimin, saw him in the crowd at a glance, and at the moment when his eyes were relative, Chi Zhiqiang's microphone fell to the ground, but he quickly picked it up and continued to sing, and the sound came out of Zhai Huimin's voice.
Meeting in the background both of them were a little embarrassed, and after the greeting, Chi Zhiqiang took the initiative to mention that he had just come out, the situation was not good, it was more difficult...
Zhai Huimin did not let him continue: I understand, it doesn't matter, sing!
Originally, Zhai Huimin thought that the past would pass, but two years later he accidentally met Chi Zhiqiang, but did not meet him. Because a friend came and said that he wanted to go somewhere else, saying that Chi Zhiqiang had come and wanted to perform, he was inconvenient here.
Zhai Huimin said: There is nothing to be embarrassed to act, he plays his, I play mine.
But the friend said: Hi! You don't want to think, can he open his mouth here, do me a favor.
Zhai Huimin left, and he never saw Chi Zhiqiang again.
Nowadays, Chi Zhiqiang rarely sings anymore, but instead does the old business when he first became famous: acting. Although the protagonist can't be the protagonist, there are some scenes in many film and television dramas. For example, the TV series "Romance to the Left, Marriage to the Right" starring Xu Fan and Fan Ming, and "Rules Before Divorce" starring Jia Nailiang and Bai Lily. Unfortunately, many people don't know him anymore.
I don't know if he will regret it when the night comes, after all, if he had not been imprisoned, how devastating his life would have been.
