In the 1980s and 1990s, there was no more legendary figure than Chi Zhiqiang.
First, he was a popular xiaosheng who was comparable to Tang Guoqiang, who was received by the central leaders, and later imprisoned for "hooliganism", which became the most typical negative teaching material for cracking down hard.

After his release from prison, he quickly became popular by relying on the "Tears of Iron Window" series of songs, becoming a household name "Prince of Prison Songs". At that time, who in the streets was not singing "iron doors, iron windows and chains"?
And 20 years later, he was exposed to a sensational false singing incident, and his whole life fell into the bottom again.
There are many opinions about this matter, and today Meng Yu will help everyone sort it out.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">01</h1>
November 11, 2008, a year before the birth of Taobao Double Eleven.
Zhou Yaping, a famous music producer, published a long article on his blog entitled "The Beginning and End of the Popularity of 'Prison Song' Twenty Years Ago", which stirred up thousands of waves and directly pushed Chi Zhiqiang into the center of the whirlpool of false singing.
In fact, this is not the first time that Chi Zhiqiang has been falsely sung.
As early as July 6, 2002, he Jing, a singer who became popular because of "The Moon Steals crying", publicly stated at a press conference that he wanted to marry the original singer of "Tears in the Iron Window".
So the media have publicized He Jing to marry Chi Zhiqiang, and in the end, she herself came out to clarify Oolong, saying that the original singer of "Tears in the Iron Window" was not Chi Zhiqiang, but Zhu Xiaodong.
He Jing explained that Zhu Xiaodong and Chi Zhiqiang are both employees of changchun film studios. Chi Zhiqiang is an actor and can't sing well, so he is replaced by Zhu Xiaodong, who learns to sing.
As a result, the Chi Zhiqiang false singing incident was officially disclosed.
Maybe Zhu Xiaodong really sang it, but whether it has been adopted or not is still unknown.
Later, Zhu Xiaodong was also imprisoned for fraud and sentenced to life, which was more serious than the original Chi Zhiqiang.
Subsequently, He Jing divorced him.
On March 8, 2005, in the special episode of Chi Zhiqiang in "Lu Yu Has a Date", Zhou Yaping, who took the stage as a guest, faced with the problem of false singing (singing) raised by the host, he vaguely said: No matter who sings, it represents Chi Zhiqiang's voice.
The relationship between the two also claims to be very good
Later, a Changchun singer named Zhai Huimin revealed to the newspaper that he was the real singer of Chi Zhiqiang's songs. However, due to its low reputation, it did not cause much repercussions.
It was not until November 11, 2008, that Zhou Yaping personally broke the news, which led to the biggest false singing incident in the music industry that lasted for 20 years.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">02</h1>
In the article "The Beginning and End of Popularity", Zhou Yaping said that in the summer of 1988, he first found Chi Zhiqiang in Hangzhou, found that he could not sing well, and then found a small singer Zhai Huimin in Changchun.
Zhai Huimin's voice is unique and his singing skills are very good, so Zhou Yaping made a Li Daitao stiff, concealing the sky and crossing the sea.
In the text, Zhou Yaping has always regarded himself as Chi Zhiqiang's excavator, in fact, he only recorded Chi Zhiqiang's second album, "Embrace Tomorrow", and at that time, Chi Zhiqiang was already on fire, and the first album was called "Tears of Remorse", recorded in 1987.
Zhou Ya square's definition of Chi Zhiqiang
Before Chi Zhiqiang's accident, he was an actor in changchun film studio, and after he was released from prison, all his glory was gone, and he also carried a huge stain on his life, so naturally he could not return to his original position.
Chen Fufang's definition of Chi Zhiqiang
At the end of 1987, when the Changchun Film Studio Sound and Video Company was in trouble, producer Chen Fuli found Chi Zhiqiang, who was working as a small worker at the construction site at the time, and decided to package him and launch a series of prison songs.
When popular actors, hooligans, prodigal sons turn back, these elements are combined, naturally very selling. But after recording a song, Chen Fuli found that Chi Zhiqiang could act, but singing was not good at all, so he found someone to record for Chi Zhiqiang.
I think that at that time, there must have been more than one person, including Zhu Xiaodong and Zhai Huimin, but in the end, Zhai Huimin was chosen. "Tears of Remorse" launched that year became a hit, and it is said that the total circulation exceeded 10 million copies.
The distributor of this album is Changchun Film Studio Sound and Image Company, but the cover is still conscientious, next to Chi Zhiqiang's three big characters, there are Zhai Huimin and female voice Zhang Xiuyan, and there are also photos of Zhai Huimin in the back, which is a silent recognition.
In fact, more than a dozen songs are not sung by Chi Zhiqiang, but as Chi Zhiqiang's album, there is no trace of him at all, so he added a monologue before the title song "Tears in the Iron Window":
The greatest tragedy of life
Nothing is more than losing freedom
The greatest pain in life
Nothing is more than the loss of loved ones and friends
I don't have a loud voice
Nor does it have a moving singing voice
But I have a sincere heart
On this wonderful night
I want to introduce this song in my heart
Dedicated to my loved ones and friends
I used to stand in front of the bars
Starlight sparkling in the distance
That twinkling starlight
Just like Mom's eyes
Let me put my head down
Remorse is hard
I have to say that this monologue is very well written, not only speaking of Chi Zhiqiang's heart, but also using the word "introduction" to avoid all risks.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">03</h1>
Seeing that this album was on fire, Zhou Yaping, who was then the editor of the Beijing Culture and Art Audio-Visual Publishing House, found Shang Yang, which was concocted as it was done, and Chi Zhiqiang's second album "Embracing Tomorrow" was released.
First it was "tears of remorse", then "embracing tomorrow", which is also in line with the logic of the prodigal son to turn back and become a man again. On this album, there is also a similar monologue:
Life is the most precious
There is nothing more freedom
The greatest happiness in life
Nothing more than love
I had pain yesterday
In today's day of gaining new freedom and love
How many songs and how many emotions
Speak to the people who love and care for me
What a wedding night
I looked at the glittering starry sky
The starry sky is still there
But today and yesterday
But it's so different
I hugged my lover
Like embracing the whole tomorrow
I was drunk
But even in this enchanting moment
I won't forget that unforgettable
Step by step
The scene of walking out of the prison gates
At this time, Chi Zhiqiang has been married, has his own family, and started a new life, this monologue is based on the wedding night, thinking sweetly and remembering bitterly, although it is imitation, it is also justified.
However, compared with the previous album, "Embrace Tomorrow" seems a little unauthentic. On the entire cover, it is the wedding photo of Chi Zhiqiang and his lover, and there is no shadow of the original singer at all.
In fact, Zhou Yaping did not intend to bring Zhai Huimin's name at all, what he wanted was to make the audience fully believe that Chi Zhiqiang sang it.
For him, all the commercial value is in Chi Zhiqiang, and Zhai Huimin, the way to help him realize his value, the less people know the better.
There is a signature of Chi Zhiqiang on the back of the album, which also confirms that this is the second album: after continuing the "tears of regret", I dedicate to you (you) the second "Embrace Tomorrow" recording tape.
This album sold 6 million copies in half a month. Chi Zhiqiang said that his asking price was 1 cent per ticket, that is, 600,000 yuan, but in Lu Yu's show, Zhou Yaping said that he finally gave 300,000 yuan.
Coupled with the income from the first album and the subsequent concert, Chi Zhiqiang's income is estimated to be in the million level in that era when even the ten thousand yuan household was very small.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">04</h1>
As for Zhai Huimin, a series of albums such as "Tears of Remorse Sequel", "Tears of Love", "Tears of Divorce", "Thousands of Sins" and so on have been released, all of which are leaning on "Tears of Remorse", and the operation behind them is still that group of people (both parties have).
It's just that the people at that time were very simple, and they didn't know that there was a fake singing, and they didn't have too many associations.
After 20 years, Zhou Yaping made this matter public, and for a time public opinion was in an uproar, accusing Chi Zhiqiang and sympathizing with Zhai Huimin, but they did not recognize each other and argued that they were the spokesmen of the "prison song".
To tell the truth, in this incident, they are all victims and beneficiaries, and there are some things they can't influence, but they must be aware of it, rather than their own words of being deceived by Changying Studio and Zhou Yaping.
Because if you are really deceived, only once is enough, why do you still suffer losses and be deceived again and again?
Therefore, even if both of them are accused, neither of them will be wronged.
Zhou Yaping and Zhai Huimin
The reason why Zhou Yaping chose to publish the so-called truth at this time certainly has its own purpose, and it is not simple.
In "The Beginning and End of Popularity", Zhou Yaping scolded Zhai Huimin in this way, a frame style of old and dead. In fact, before November 11, he had already begun to repackage Zhai Huimin.
In 2009, Zhai Huimin, an "unscrupulous" singer who repeatedly sat on the ground because of the recording of "Embracing Tomorrow", launched the so-called "Sad Singer King Re-emerges from the Mountain" work "Love Once Hurts Once".
Its cover photo uses the same one that Zhou Yaping had previously promoted. The producer of this album, "Birdman Art", is also Zhou Yaping's own company.
As for this, it is not difficult to imagine the original reason, and the relationship between the three people can also be sorted out like this:
In 1988, because of the recording of "Embracing Tomorrow", Zhou Yaping found both of them at the same time. First recorded the song in the name of Chi Zhiqiang, the fire; then recorded the song in the name of Zhai Huimin, not fire.
In 2005, Zhou Yaping's relationship with Chi Zhiqiang was still very good, so he did not admit to false singing at all in "Lu Yu Has a Date", and later Zhai Huimin himself broke the news, but also failed to set off a storm.
In 2008, Zhou Yaping wanted to recreate Zhai Huimin, and only then did he decide to disclose the truth, scolding Zhai while holding Zhai and creating a momentum, as for Chi Zhiqiang, who was "old and yellow", he was completely abandoned.
However, after many years, until recently, the 62-year-old Chi Zhiqiang once again appeared in people's field of vision, and these long-term past events have been brought up again.
