Remember the song "South of the Clouds" that swept China 10 years ago? I believe most people remember, but when it comes to the singer of this song, some people may not be able to say it for a while, even if they can say the name, but their understanding of her appearance and other aspects may be very vague in the impression of many people.
She is Xu Qianya. Why can't Xu Qianya be popular? This is a mystery in the music world. On the strength, her singing skills are almost impeccable, the voice is atmospheric, penetrating, and the recognition is high; on the appearance, it can also be described by the word "atmosphere", with the posture of "Queen of Heaven"; on the works, she sang "South of the Clouds", "Take the Train to Lhasa", "Top of Ten Thousand Mountains", "Beautiful China", "Tianyao China", "Silk Road" and many other classic "big" songs, and boarded the Spring Festival Gala three times; more importantly, the "patron" behind her is He Muyang, who is known as the "godfather of modern folk songs", and the two "women sing and follow" , together created many classic works ...
With such conditions and achievements, Xu Qianya has no reason not to be red. But for more than a decade, she has indeed been unusually low-key, belonging to the kind that is basically in a state of disappearance without the launch of new songs; even if there are new songs, she basically goes home after singing, rather than the kind of singers who hit the iron while the work is hot and frequently exposes Bo's attention. I don't know if she doesn't want to be red, or if she is constrained by some factors?
If you want to talk about Xu Qianya, you must first say He Muyang. This is truly an underrated musician, and the title of "Godfather of Modern Folk Song" is well deserved. The first time we heard the name of He Muyang, it may all come from the Phoenix Legend, who created the song "Above the Moon" for the Phoenix Legend, which has since opened the door to their acting careers. I remember that year, "Above the Moon" was also rumored to be plagiarized, and was therefore taken down by the Spring Festival Gala program team. But later the expert group identified that plagiarism did not exist and was "resurrected" on the Spring Festival Gala stage. In fact, the launch of a series of excellent works after that proved that He Muyang was not an opportunistic "music tailor", but really bullish.
After praising the legend of the Red Phoenix, He Muyang was shocked to hear Xu Qianya's voice by chance, so he tailored "South of Caiyun" for her, and was very successful, winning many awards such as the best female singer of the year and the annual original golden song at the 2005 "A8 Music Original China Awards Ceremony". The following year, he sang a song "Take the Train to Lhasa". Subsequently, he was invited to appear on the 2010 CCTV Spring Festival Gala and sang "South of The Clouds". In those years, her songs resounded all over the country. But to be precise, the song is far more popular than the red.
In 2008, He and Xu also joined hands to sing "Top of Ten Thousand Mountains" for the Olympic Games, which is also an imposing classic. Personally, I think that among the many excellent Olympic songs of that year, "Top of Ten Thousand Mountains" can be ranked in the top three. He Muyang's creative skills and Xu Qianya's singing strength are fully demonstrated in this song. In 2008, also coinciding with the snow disaster in the south, a song "Let's Celebrate the New Year Together" on the Spring Festival Gala of Hunan Satellite TV touched countless audiences, and in the next few years, it almost became the "New Year song" of Hunan Satellite TV. And this song "Let's Celebrate the New Year Together", the creator is He Muyang, and the original singer is Xu Qianya.
At the Spring Festival Gala in 2013, Xu Qianya once again appeared on the Spring Festival Gala and sang a song "Beautiful China" created by He Muyang at zero point finale. In the 2014 Spring Festival Gala, the zero-point finale song was sung by Yao Beina, but the song was "Tianyao China" composed by He Muyang and originally sung by Xu Qianya; in the 2016 Spring Festival Gala, Xu Qianya sang the Spring Festival Gala for the third time and sang a song "Silk Road" created by He Muyang.
Three times on the Spring Festival Gala, this is no longer what an ordinary pop singer can do. But the name Xu Qianya has been marginalized in the music world for many years. There may be many people who have heard her songs, but there may not be many people who really know her. It is also famous for his association with He Muyang, but Xu Qianya's recognition is far less than that of the Phoenix Legend. Maybe she is really low-key, low-key to when she and He Muyang became married, and there is no news on the Internet.
One of them can write, one can sing, from the best partner in the acting career to a real-life couple, it is also a very good couple. But at first glance, Xu Qianya, who is 175 tall, is taller than He Muyang of 172, one is a northeastern girl, the other is a Hunan lingzi, what cannot happen to Linghua and Zeng Yi naturally happens to them, and it is very harmonious and loving.
He Muyang and Xu Qianya opened a company in Beijing called "Singing High Culture Media". Over the years, Xu Qianya, in addition to occasionally on CCTV programs, the rest rarely appear on TELEVISION, and rarely participate in commercial performance activities, so what does their company rely on to make money? What does she usually do? If you take a closer look at the songs she sings, you'll find the truth. Since "South of the Clouds", she and He Muyang have been singing for major cities and geographical attractions across the country for more than ten years.
More representative ones such as "I am waiting for you in Jingdezhen", "I love you Changsha", "Xiangxi in dreams", "I have an agreement with Tibet", "Qinghai Lake", "Shenzhen people who come", "Please come to Hainan often", "Fairy Lake", "Walk grinning and grinning to Ningxia" and so on, singing the praises of dozens of hundreds of places across the country. With He Muyang's moving melody and Xu Qianya's melodious singing as a guarantee, any song will not be worse than a place, becoming a shining business card everywhere.
Xu Qianya, worthy of the "Queen of Chinese Geography Song".
He Muyang's most and best songs were given to Xu Qianya; and Xu Qianya's voice was basically only born from Why Muyang. Some people say that He Muyang is her nobleman, and his works have made her. But in fact, the reason why Xu Qianya is not very popular is also related to He Muyang, and it can be said that Cheng Ye Xiao "He" defeated xiao "He". Because Xu Qianya herself is a singer with an international standard, her original goal was also a world song queen like Celine Dion. But later, after partnering with He Muyang, he was framed as the royal singer of the new folk song godfather. At the same time, because they are not singers in the system, they want to get the favor of the above purely by their works, which is a bit unopposed, and the result is naturally half the work.
However, in general, although the international fan is good, the probability of success is relatively slim; and the positioning he Muyang gave her really gave her a stage to play, which is not the best choice. Moreover, it is not said that the national is the world.
As one of the best post-80s female singers in the mainland, although Xu Qianya is not a big hit, no one can deny her strength. In her singing, it is like presenting a vast picture, which makes people linger in the immersive scene. She really deserves to be paid attention to and listened to by more people, if next year's "Singer" can invite her, I believe it will be a big surprise for anyone.
