Music is alive, no matter the region or time, there is always a song that can evoke people's good memories. However, when it comes to the popular period of mainland music, we have to mention the 1990s, when a large number of outstanding singers emerged, such as Sun Nan, Na Ying, Man Wenjun, Luo Zhongxu, etc., who are still active in the music world, and have become representative singers in the entertainment industry. But not everyone develops so smoothly as they do, like the one we are talking about today, she is known as "China's most talented folk female poet", and Zhao Benshan has played "husband and wife", the film queen Maggie Cheung praised her, but because of the dismal sales of the album, helpless to quit the entertainment industry, she is still childless, she is Ai Jing.
The name Ai Jing may be a little strange to today's young people, but older people should hear about it, after all, she also created an era that belonged to her. As the saying goes: "Three points are destined, seven points rely on hard work", Ai Jing was born with a good voice, when he was 9 years old, he received professional training, and at the age of 17, he was admitted to the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe and became a contract singer, which is also a breathtaking achievement for posterity. For ordinary people, entering the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe also means getting the "iron rice bowl", but Ai Jing, who has a stubborn personality and dares to work hard, is dissatisfied with this. Only half a year later, she broke off her contract with the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe without hesitation, and like most young people with dreams, came to guangdong, the dream city of all musicians.
However, after arriving in Guangdong, Ai Jing did not attract people's attention through singing, but became acquainted with acting. She first starred in the TV series "Love Demon" with Chen Rujia, played a young girl with musical dreams "Ah Qian", and sang the interlude "Give Me a Season" in the play, which was well received by the audience. Then he starred in the film "Five Women and a Rope" produced by Taiwan's Tomson Film Company as the role of "Lotus", which tells the story of five women who dare to rebel against fate in pursuit of their own happiness and finally end their young lives. The film won eight international awards and became the biggest winner at the time.
Subsequently, Ai Jing began to exert her strength on the road of music, at the age of 24, she released her first album in her life, "My 1997", using her singing voice to express the simplest and most direct emotions in her heart, and her lyrics are like a long poem, which is endlessly evocative. Among them, the main song "My 1997" and "Wandering Swallow" have a smooth and beautiful melody, coupled with Ai Jing's interpretation, which immediately set off a mainland music frenzy. Ai Jing's first album sold at the top of the chart at that time, among which "Wandering Swallow" also won the gold medal and the best creative award of the first "Chunlan Cup MTV Competition" of CCTV, and Ai Jing also became a hot singer at that time.
The initial success of the first album made Ai Jing famous, and she released the second album "The Story of Yan Pink Street" while it was hot, although the second album did not have a fierce response from the first album, but it also received unanimous praise from the industry. Among them, after the film queen Maggie Cheung saw her MV, she praised her and thought that "she is the most eye-catching singer, her voice is euphemistic and beautiful, people are intoxicated and do not know why", such a high evaluation is also flattering to Ai Jing.
Later, Ai Jing released two albums in succession, "Chasing the Moon" and "Made in China", but sales fell all the way down, and there was no longer the style of the time. Such a blow overwhelmed Ai Jing, and even discouraged for a while. It was also at this time that some people suggested that she first suspend her singing career and enter the show business again. So there is her cooperation with Zhao Benshan in "Ma Dashuai 2" as Zhao Benshan's wife "Wang Yufen", although the acting skills have yet to be honed, but the dress is fashionable, playing a simple rural role is still impressive.
Shortly after the broadcast of "Ma Dashuai 2", Ai Jing released his fifth album "Ai on the Journey" at one time, and the response was fierce, which made many viewers who liked her exclaim, it turned out that Ai Jing had been insisting on creating and did not leave her beloved music because of obstacles. However, after this album, Ai Jing never saw any more works with everyone and disappeared from the screen.
It turned out that Over the years, Ai Jing had been far away from the hustle and bustle of the entertainment industry, and had chosen to become a painter and live a life of peace with the encounter. Singing and performing may not be difficult, but singing and painting is a huge span, and I have to admire Ai Jing's courage. However, so far, Ai Jing's painter life has made some great achievements, holding a solo exhibition in New York in 2009 and a solo exhibition at the National Museum in 12 years, and her works have also been unanimously affirmed by industry insiders.
Although she has been far away from the entertainment industry, the entertainment industry has always had her legend, and she also interprets "three points of heaven are destined, seven points rely on hard work" with practical actions. However, in the more than 20 years since her debut, she has been very low-key, rarely talking about her private life in public. Now 48 years old, she still lives a life of my own way, and there is a husband who is very supportive and loves him, Ai Jing can be said to have experienced heights that have not been reached in several generations, but if there is any regret, it may be that there are no children, no children and no children. However, everyone has the right to choose their own life, and simply for her is the greatest happiness! Finally, he also sent his blessings to Ai Jing, hoping that she would be all right.
