In 2003, Rolling Stone Records released a music album to commemorate a female singer's outstanding contribution to the music scene.
The preparation of the album has attracted many hall-level musicians who have had an opportunity with her, and the attention of a piece of ice heart jade pot has simply been compiled into a documentary called "dear Sarah" to tell fanghua's past.
Li Zongsheng, Zhou Huajian, Tao Zhe, one by one, have intersected with them, catalyzed, and sang the most beautiful female voice in the Chinese music scene.
The 32 pinnacle songs represent the era when the music boomed, and also completely record the glorious road of the most brilliant pearl on the Rolling Stone music totem.
Come on, just sing these songs and talk about the stories.
It is the prodigal son who smells the incense and recognizes the woman, and it is Li Zongsheng who hears the woman.
Lin Yilian, Liang Jingru, Xin Xiaoqi... They were all created by him and became the most flashy names in Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music, but Li Zongsheng still evaluated "the most singing female singer" to Chen Shuhua.
It is not because Chen Shuhua is his first female singer to win popularity and has been favored.
In fact, Chen Shuhua confirmed by strength.
In 1958, Chen Shuhua was born in Taiwan, and since she was a child, she liked to follow the song of the tape recorder, and found her daughter's strange mother, who was surprised and guided.
After 8 years of careful training, Chen Shuhua, who read the national primary school, did not shy away from the stage when participating in the "song competition" with great influence in Taiwan, and won the first place with a song "One by One Satisfaction" and won back a large refrigerator.
The biggest use of the champion and the refrigerator is to strengthen the courage of Chen's mother, and she began to think of herself as an agent, formulating her daughter's future acting plan, from the life of performing everywhere to signing a singing and album production.
In addition to the performance, Chen's mother also filled Xiao Shuhua's life with a lot of tuition, trying to maintain her daughter's good grades.
The appearance fee is as high as 10,000 yuan, the highest can run nine games a day, and the study can also maintain a high standard, no matter which aspect, the mother's 360-degree special education without dead ends makes Xiao Shuhua become the envy of the family "other people's daughters".
Only her father vaguely felt inappropriate and persuaded: "We should cultivate her independence more, otherwise it will be detrimental to her growth." ”
The mother is proud of the fact more than the eloquent, the daughter is accustomed to resignation, and the father's words are selectively filtered.
However, the self-proclaimed omnipotent Mother Chen is not a god, and Chen Shuhua encountered a bottleneck in art when she grew up, and even if she was omnipotent, she was helpless.
At the age of 9, he released his debut album, stumbling to the ground, 21 years, 6 albums only "Sunset with Me" was shallow impression by fans.
In The words of Li Zongsheng, those songs are quite heavy.
At that time, in the Taiwanese music scene, the female voice must be sweet, and the melodious sound of entanglement carries too many flower sighs and strong sorrows.
No matter how beautiful the voice is interpreted, no matter how innovative the tune is, it cannot escape the fate of being forgotten.
Chen Shuhua, who was secretly cast by the pearl of an era, encountered the rolling stone of fate, Li Zongsheng, at the moment when he was about to disappear into the crowd.
In 1988, Li Zongsheng, who was already very "stinky fart" in the industry, was regarded by Chen's mother as a life-saving straw, and could not stand his bitter pleading, and promised to help Chen Shuhua create the album "Woman's Heart".
The title song "That Night You Drank Wine", for the first time, has the simple philosophical style of "Big Brother", the lyrics are no longer empty, and suddenly the cascading love scenes give the gentle voice a clear texture.
The powerful echo received by the album made Li Zongsheng realize that she was correct in deviating from the once "popular" route, and also suggested from another angle that the positioning after another path would determine success or failure.
In the late 1980s, Taiwan's new feminism rose up, and literature represented by "Red Face Is Old" increasingly summoned feminist consciousness, with long hair fluttering and obedience to the traditional characteristics of elegance, which could not coincide with urban women whose economy was becoming more dominant.
They urgently need the new spirit of "short hair" and "intellectuality" to show themselves, and Li Zongsheng is keenly aware of the needs of the times, and he pushes Chen Shuhua down everything in the past.
"Waking Up from a Dream" appeared, followed by short neat hair, a high nose bridge, and smart clothing, outlining the silhouette of a modern woman with thoughts and experiences.
The melody is like a tone, with Chen Shuhua's natural and smooth voice, the professor uses the free attitude of "no need to ask" and "no need to wait" to break through the shackles of love.
The first album in the history of Taiwanese music that sold more than one million was born in response to the song, and Chen Shuhua landed in the ranks of super first-line singers in one fell swoop.
And her chorus in the film and television, which can stimulate the greatest potential of the other party, is still recited to this day.
The first to discover this secret was Li Zongsheng.
When he created the album "Tell You To Listen to You" in 1990, he was worried that the whole was too novel, and he desperately wanted to write a vulgar song to make the record grounded, so according to Lin Shurong and Luo Shifeng's way, he came to sing "You Walk Your Way".
Li Zongsheng, who has a pot lid head and round lenses, appeared in the MV, which was originally intended to be "di si" to set off the new female style, and did not want Chen Shuhua to use a cold expression to reverse render the eagerness and wandering of "di si".
The supporting roles are inadvertently brilliant, making Li Zongsheng proud of his "technical maturity".
A year later, Jackie Chan asked Li Zongsheng to write a harmony for him and Ye Yunyi, Li Zongsheng had no bottom for Ye Yunyi in his heart, and when writing songs, he repeatedly reminded himself that it was easier, and he wanted to perfunctory "Clearly Understand My Heart", but after arranging the music, he was excited and trembling.
The sixth sense strongly foreshadowed the song, and he immediately called the Rolling Stones colleagues and asked to find Shuhua and Jackie Chan to sing.
Sure enough, Jackie Chan's overly thick voice was softened by Chen Shuhua's weightlifting, and then gave himself understanding, telling the desire and acceptance of men and women for true feelings.
The single became Jackie Chan's most proud love song and won the Hong Kong Best Chinese Song Award, jackie Chan sighed: If there is no Shuhua, don't want to get this award.
No wonder Li Zongsheng's appreciation of Chen Shuhua is even beyond the care of Lin Yilian in the field of music.
Li Zongsheng once made a very different analogy, saying that Chen Shuhua's voice was like a hairy hair, the kind of hair quality was very good, and such a singer later had only one Faye Wong.
In his opinion, Chen Shuhua is the kind of person who "sings words out of his mouth and makes it difficult to resist", so although sometimes "Shuhua is a difficult person to understand", at the same time, she strives to complete the appearance of Li Zongsheng, the appearance of her mother and daughter, and the completion is even more impeccable.
Whether it is a solo singing or a duet, she can always grasp that point, and the water lilies are quietly open, reflecting the songwriters and duets.
Who does not love Chen Shuhua, and then more musicians joined in, so that this first blooming water lily emitted a fragrance.
Zhou Huajian told a small story, many years ago he drove to Taipei Airport, picked up his father who came from Hong Kong to visit, on the way back there was Chen Shuhua's song in the car, Zhou's father said seriously: "This girl's voice is really good."
Hua Jian was surprised and inexplicable, he could only understand Teochew and Cantonese, and his father, who did not know anything about Chinese, could be moved without understanding it, so that his son who made music had a taste.
When he first entered the Rolling Stones, Zhou Huajian followed Li Zongsheng as a recording assistant.
The first record he participated in was Chen Shuhua's debut album.
At the end of the same year, The Rolling Stones gave Chen Shuhua an album of "Tomorrow, Do You Still Love Me".
A song called "Lonely", the backing vocals of Zhou Huajian Rongsheng Chen Shuhua, with a harmony just right to mobilize the atmosphere of the MV at the beginning of the lantern.
At the same time as the first cry of the music scene, Zhou Huajian, who was known for his voice magnetism, fell like a father in Chen Shuhua's beautiful voice, and since then, no matter when and where, he has called Chen Shuhua "the queen of the queen of the heavens".
Zhou Huajian is a microcosm that documents the process of many musicians from strangers to cooperation and final admiration.
That rolling stone time, music people remember, in addition to Chen Shuhua's beauty, there is also Chen Mother like a shadow.
The company's office, before seeing the figure of the mother and daughter, can already hear Mother Chen's "hahaha" from far to near in the distance, and the hearty laughter has a magic that makes everyone warm up.
Mother Chen is here, there is love chicken soup, you can be crowded, whether it is staff or executives, are inspired to hang up a smile, two paragraphs, a burst of laughter, a good fun and harmony.
Mother Chen's long-sleeved good dance invisibly narrowed the distance between Chen Shuhua and the musicians and obtained their best products.
Li Zhengfan, who was first acquainted, can be described as an old acquaintance like Hua Jian, who was just out of the woods, under the lure of Li Zongsheng's "a big bag of money", repeatedly took over Chen Shuhua's arrangement, and when he was tired and sleepy, he lay down on the ground and woke up to continue editing.
The handover of "Love Walks Through the Summer Street" can be called Chen Shuhua's early classic, high-spirited and poetic coexist, bright and spontaneous flying together.
Later, his girlfriend Zhao Yonghua took it as a cover, and Li Zhengfan deliberately update more advanced, but the interpretation was less.
The next little worm, as a hardcore fan of Chen Shuhua, copied and wrote lyrics for idols when she went to school, until "Life Watch" had the opportunity to help idols make albums in an all-round way.
Obsessed with "neoclassicism", bent on making pure oriental flavor records for the goddess, the idealism of the worm makes the boss afraid of selling badly, and he urgently sends Wang Zhiping to "fight the fire" half an album.
Xiao Worm's "Love Guan", Wang Zhiping's "Life watching", a story of a distant hero and beauty, a sentimentality that has now long been hated, only The beauty of Shuhua has kneaded their many differences into a theme about love.
The impact of the two songs on the industry is unprecedentedly far-reaching, Chen Shuhua was pushed to the throne after the golden song, And Taiwan's ace and vocal Ma Yufen and her lover's love song is "A Lifetime of Waiting", unlimited remembrance on the day of the big wedding.
The next record is "Smart and Confused Heart", the most memorable point is the eldest brother Li Zongsheng for the movie "Sasha Jia Jia Stand Up" wrote "So Love You Right", Lee's style of songwriting tends to be perfected, that blind twist, one hit the definition of love, instantly grasping people's hearts.
"Big Brother's Big Brother" Luo Dayou shot "Wordless Expression": gently asked if I still wanted me to wait, because the night was so deep.
Take off your heart without moving, whisper softly, and sing powerfully.
This did not surprise Luo Dayou, as early as when he helped Sanmao complete the only screenwriter in this life, "Rolling Red Dust", he mentioned the theme song of his pen, the kind of tragic and compassionate majesty, undertaken by Chen Shuhua's purest singing voice, and the characteristics of communication with Lin Qingxia and plausible, so that the film and the song have a meditative bond, and they complement each other.
The great success of the film and the song has given Chen Shuhua another killer skill - to score the film and television.
In 1993, Xu Ke, a new martial artist, rode on the wind of smiling and proud of the rivers and lakes to plunge into "The Undefeated Storm rises again in the East".
A song "Laughing Red Dust", a beautiful artistic conception, expressing a broad mind, just as An can distinguish that I am the undefeated east of male and female.
In 1995, the less roaring Ma Jingtao transferred Qiong Yao's bitter feelings to the waves of "This Life and This World" in Shanghai.
The old time of "Life and Death" revolves around the magnificent Chen Hong and Sun Xing, telling the epic poems about revenge and resistance.
In 1996, Chen Kaige, who succeeded in "Farewell to the Overlord", cooperated with Zhang Guorong again to create "Wind Moon".
"When It's Really Good" is murmured by "brother", meeting Chen Shuhua-style purity, seamlessly lingering in compassion.
Experience the beautiful and complicated artistic conception in the film and television, feedback the colorful emotions of Luo Ying, Chen Shuhua's theme song, turn a bunch of fingers soft, and immerse the audience's heart wall with the plot.
With the blessing of many hall-level musicians, Chen Shuhua has a set of postures, the main color is "to love", affectionate and delicate, full of literary and artistic sorrow and speculation; the secondary color is "to sex", the wine is happy, and the rivers and lakes are sad.
Taipei's miserable rain, the blooming of the lonely standard of proud white roses, everyone is a unique flower, unique in the music world.
Many people feel that far away from the gou and without material desires, she will be happy and simple, so quietly sing.
On the topic of Chen Shuhua, Tao Zhe will solemnly respect and will have many expressions.
The most said is the real Chen Shuhua, not like the kind of lonely self-appreciation in the song, he can feel that this idol who has always been honored as a sister is sometimes very happy and excited.
I wanted to hug something new, but after I took it, I was a little scared, put it down again, and ran back.
Therefore, Chen Shuhua, who sings the taste of love, gains deficiencies in love.
When she was studying, a boy waited for her at the bus stop, and she preferred to take a detour home.
There has been a boyfriend of a medical doctor, and I have also interacted with a pilot boyfriend, all of which are simple to pale feelings, shallow taste, and urgently retract the tentacles.
Love is powerless to love impotent, and when she is most confused about feelings, she sang a song "Ask".
"Who makes your heart move, who makes you heartache, who makes you want to hold him in your arms occasionally", this "who", like the ordinary girl's longing for love, whispers and meditates thousands of times.
She once joked that he should have Li Zongsheng's humor, Zhou Huajian's cheerfulness, Zhao Chuan's eyes, and the childishness of the article, but throughout his life, he did not enter marriage, only regrets.
The reason is still to explore the source point.
Excessive protection as a child, even as an adult, even if there is great achievement, has not diminished.
A variety show invited Chen Shuhua, Chen's mother followed suit, and the host helped many people say their hearts: "My daughters are so old, I don't have to follow." ”
Mother Chen Zhenzhen has a word, indicating that she is eager to protect her daughter.
Chen Shuhua has said more than once that her feelings for Li Zongsheng are quite "complicated", and Li Zongsheng is also frank that Chen Shuhua has achieved the woman in his heart.
So someone quipped whether Li Zongsheng was interested in Chen Shuhua, and the eldest brother shook his head: "Don't be stupid, her mother is here every day, how to start?" "
Everyone was deeply impressed, the Chen Shuhua who always stood by her mother's side and lowered her eyebrows.
It is not that she has not thought of breaking free from this invisible bondage and stereotype, and those attempts have almost succeeded.
Chen Shuhua once moved away from home to live alone, would take the initiative to find friends to party, would chase after Zhou Huajian's concert, and had the courage to run up to offer flowers and kiss him.
Not only life, chen shuhua also has a bolder idea in music, because of the lack of eating diet pills, she began to travel to various countries to relax and recuperate, exposed to many music genres, and found a kind of "to escape to love" desire to be cathartic.
Pulling Wang Zhiping and calling back to Tao Zhe in the United States, she pulled the two of them for a year to grind out Taiwan's first full R&B record.
At this time, Chen Shuhua closed her eyes and sang the sentence "Say, say you love me!" ”
"Say, You Love Me" is finalized, because no matter how Tao Zhe records, it can't be more moving than the happiness of his Shuhua sister that day.
Li Zongsheng was overjoyed, in his words, R&B is a very "riotous", very "tempting" thing, that kind of squeezing in the throat, breathing is an expression, just like "Don't be a lover, don't be a friend", long hair, barefoot, laughing, reduced to a real woman's Chen Shuhua, invincible.
Singing soft power can be called the best of his life," "Paradise Lost", is such a peak, the woman who has always tied herself to death, suddenly opened her heart in the dark of night, tried her best to be wanton, to spread wilderness, and the power released was incomparably powerful.
The heroine in the song must be Chen Shuhua herself, who seems to have been reborn in that instant.
But everything came to an abrupt end at the most brilliant moment, because the mother who Chen Shuhua desperately wanted to break free suddenly passed away.
The huge grief completely overwhelmed her, and it was undeniable that her mother's control caused the tragedy of Chen Shuhua's life, but it was precisely this control that made the mother and daughter the closest people in the world.
Breaking through the cocoon and not coming out of the freeze frame, it permanently stayed in Chen Shuhua's 40 years old.
In public, we never saw Chen Shuhua again, occasionally heard news that she was suffering from depression, as well as true and false rumors, and even the musicians who used to stay up late as singers lost her tracks.
Soon the sound disappeared in the sea of time, but the sea of many people's hearts could not annihilate the voice that had given themselves comfort and courage.
Li Zongsheng, who can be described as a musical companion, Zhou Huajian, who eats in her singing, and Tao Zhe, who admires her as a sister, have never forgotten her, and somewhere inside, there is Chen Shuhua's softness.
The "Letter to Shuhua" hid their wishes: "We will meet again and sing, just like in those days." ”
