"I still remember to say goodbye from your mouth as firmly as iron, there is an illusion of the scorching sun in the darkness, the horizon of dusk, a parting, love into the eternal night..."
A song "Dusk" does not know how many people's hearts, and the singer Zhou Chuanxiong's life is as tragic as his song, if it is not fateful, Zhou Chuanxiong may be a chinese musician
At his peak, a serious illness caused him to fall to the bottom and at one point lost only 40 kilograms
Now that he is more than half a hundred years old, he has made a comeback, but what awaits him is "endless humiliation"?
The Chinese music scene has already changed dramatically, is there any hope for Zhou Chuanxiong's return?
Not long ago, Zhou Chuanxiong participated in the time festival as a singer of the times, and this program with great memories of the times simply evoked the memories of countless people
On the stage, Zhou Chuanxiong's style is still the same, and he sang the song "Dusk" that was popular in the streets and alleys of that year, and the song was finally full of memories to kill,
After that, he also sang the love song "Notepad" with Wang Xiaomin, and the first cooperation with the new generation of singers was a great success, bringing an audiovisual feast to the audience
In an interview with Zhou Chuanxiong, he also said that "it is quite interesting to work with young people, although the current song style is more fashionable, but I will always try new musical styles".
Zhou Chuanxiong, who was once known as the "godfather of love songs", also seems to realize that the arrival of a new era has made him start to become cramped and uneasy, and he can only learn to adapt and obey if he wants to become popular, and there is no other way.
The master is wandering, the clown is in the hall, and in a variety show "The Voice of Heaven 2" at the beginning of the year, Zhou Chuanxiong rarely appeared
But what I didn't expect was that after many years, Zhou Chuanxiong's return debut was actually as a player, standing on the stage was Zhou Chuanxiong, and it was Meng Meiqi sitting under the stage
Such a positioning makes the audience indignant, "Meng Meiqi what she relies on", "on seniority, Zhou Chuanxiong is the one sitting below", the comments of netizens made Meng Meiqi fall into the whirlpool of public opinion for a while, and could not get out for a long time
Although Meng Meiqi did not evaluate Zhou Chuanxiong, netizens still did not buy it, until later Zhou Chuanxiong came forward to respond that no one was a mentor, and it was calmed down.
In fact, Meng Meiqi did not have such a bad netizen to say, otherwise she could not sit in that position, but her name is little known, especially the older people do not know who she is
Over the years, Meng Meiqi can also be regarded as a member of the female group who coexists with appearance and strength, and her most prominent performance in the talent show "Creation 101" is that she has been in the C position for a long time
Finally debuted with the first place, and formed "Rocket Girl 101" with Eleven members such as Wu Xuanyi and Yang Chaoyue, and the "Calories" that was popular in the country that year came from their group
The reason why netizens reacted so strongly is because Meng Meiqi is still shallow in qualifications, and can only be said to be a leader in her field, but if her identity as a mentor is still not a good match.
After the whole show, Zhou Chuanxiong was eliminated, no one was retained, the scene was once embarrassing, and the host on the stage mentioned that Zhou Chuanxiong had been performing various commercial performances over the years, which seemed to enlarge Zhou Chuanxiong's downfall even more
Indeed, due to a stomach infection in 2009, Zhou Chuanxiong gradually faded out of the public's vision, and his life also underwent major changes
People in the 1980s and 1990s knew that Zhou Chuanxiong's songs were not generally popular in that year, and his singing of "Lonely Sandbank Cold" did not know how many people's mobile phone ringtones were that year
Even with the Asian king Jay Chou, who is popular all over the country, there is a fight, known as the "Legend of The Two Weeks", so far the singing degree of Zhou Chuanxiong's songs is extremely high, and almost everyone in that era can sing.
Zhou Chuanxiong's life seems to have been doomed from the moment of birth, and when he was young, he lived in the quarrels of his parents for many years, so his childhood was not happy.
When he was sixteen years old, his parents divorced, running for things, still in junior high school, he had to come out of half-work and half-study, for living expenses, tuition, all kinds of dirty work were done, porters, electricians, and floor stalls were commonplace
Even this kind of life can't stop a person with a dream from shining, and his only dream at that time is to stand on the stage and sing.
In a school singing competition, he stood out with proud results, and was just in time for the audition of the "Little Tigers", and was selected very smoothly, but he resolutely refused.
Most of the little tigers take the singing and jumping route, and Zhou Chuanxiong only wants to concentrate on singing, and soon after, the little tigers are on fire, and he is still just an unknown little singer, the waiting days are always torturous, but the creation makes him happy.
He officially debuted under the stage name "Xiao Gang", released his first solo single "Dust and Smoke", and then released three music albums in a row in 2 years, slowly gaining a foothold in the music world.
With the advent of the fourth music album "Xiao Gang's Flower World", one of the singles "Hasa Yaqi" received a very high degree of popularity, and the opportunity for Zhou Chuanxiong also came.
At that time, Zhang Xinzhe, known as the "Prince of Love Songs", was serving in the army, which gave the record company the idea of having Zhou Chuanxiong succeed Zhang Xinzhe.
Zhou Chuanxiong was full of firepower, and within 2 years, he was so popular in the music scene that Zhang Xinzhe's return could not hide his limelight at all, until Li Zongsheng created the song "Love Like a Tide" for Zhang Xinzhe, which made him popular again.
A mountain can not tolerate two tigers, the company began to praise Zhang Xinzhe, and Zhou Chuanxiong was hidden in the snow, fortunately, his creative talent is not lost to Li Zongsheng, and it was not long before an album "Lonely Bombing" that poured countless of his efforts was turned out to be a hit.
He is famous in the circle because of his identity as a producer, Chen Huilin's "Notes", Na Ying's "Betrayal", Ren Xianqi's "Starting Again", and Zhou Huajian's "Is There a Song That Reminds You of Me" are all from Zhou Chuanxiong's hand.
He also did not forget to continue to work for himself, including this "Dusk" in his album "Transfer", but it was not released in Hong Kong due to personnel changes
Originally discouraged, by chance, he found that his song was played in the streets and alleys of the mainland, which also gave him hope, so he turned to the mainland and began to release his records.
There is no doubt that he was on fire, and he held his first solo concert in Singapore, this moment he waited too long, for a time he became an idol of countless people, just when everyone was waiting for him to release a new album, but did not see his figure.
Later, I learned that he was found to have seriously exceeded the standard of Helicobacter pylori and had to withdraw from the circle for treatment, and in 2014, some netizens took photos of Zhou Chuanxiong and his wife visiting the supermarket
He is skinny and looks very gaunt, weighing only 40 kilograms at the height of his illness.
After many years of not seeing, he also got married and had children and had his own family, but when he first recovered from a serious illness and wanted to return to the music scene, he found that he had already been a person, and the era that belonged to him was over.
In this rapidly changing music scene, talents are emerging, and now they are the king of traffic, even the original "godfather of love songs" can only survive in the cracks.
Even if he needs to return to the music scene with countless commercial performances, he will always be an immortal myth in our hearts.
Now he has begun to tour the country, carry out solo concerts, and how about half a hundred years old, insisting that his dreams have nothing to do with age.
