It is said that behind every successful person is inseparable from a person who promotes the waves, so today we introduce such a person who has crossed many, many successful people - Zuo Hongyuan.
Zuo Yuanhong, pen name Gu Yue, is an early creator of Taiwanese pop music and a top music producer in the Chinese music scene.
Born in 1930 in Wuhu, Anhui Province, he is 87 years old as of this year. His ancestral home is Daye, Hubei Province.
Since graduating from the Music Department of the Political Warfare School in 1956, he has completed the creation of nearly 2,000 songs.
Among them, there are best-selling songs such as "Don't Go Home Today", "Where does the wind come from", "A Thousand Words", "Hai Yun", "Caiyun Fei" and so on. There are also theme songs in TV series such as "The Legend of the New White Lady", "Huan Zhu Gege", "Wan Jun" and so on.
Even today, Zuo Lao is still on the road of creation, and he does not quit creating, which is not only Zuo Hongyuan's duty to insist, but also the blessing of the audience.
His representative works include: "A Thousand Years waiting", "Wine and Coffee", "A Thousand Words", "How Do You Say", "Don't Go Home Today", "Crossing Love", "Qingqing Riverside Grass" and other popular and familiar songs.
However, we observe from the cooperation objects of Zuo Hongyuan's songs, we will find that Zuo Hongyuan's co-singers have a high repetition rate, although Zuo Lao has created a lot of songs, but many of these songs are sometimes cooperated with a singer, which also forms a lot of singers who cooperate with Zuo Hongyuan, but there are always a few singers who have cooperated many times, such as Teresa Teng, Feng Feifei, Li Bihua, Jiang Ling, Chi Qiumei, and so on, and some singers, some of whom have cooperated with more than a dozen, or even dozens, and at least there are several. Presumably, this is a kind of friendship that is in tune with each other and trusts each other.
In fact, this kind of cooperation friendship is not uncommon, many singers and their songwriters may form a fixed partner, in addition to appreciation, more is trust, do not forget the original, relationship friendship and real talent.
For example, Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan are a very typical pair of partners, they have cooperated for many years, mentioning one party will contact the other party, this relationship is actually rare.
As for Zuo Hongyuan's cooperation partners, I have to mention another very interesting thing. That is, Zuo Lao is a veritable Mr. Bole.
I believe that many netizens have heard such a sentence: Maxima is often there, and Bole is not often there.
It just so happens that Zuo Lao is a Bole who can recognize Maxima.
One: Zuo Hongyuan and Teresa Teng.
In 1969, it was the theme song of the same name sung by Teresa Teng at the age of 16 for Taiwan's first TELEVISION series "Jingjing", which was composed by Wen Kui and composed by Gu Yue, that is, Zuo Hongyuan. It is said that Teresa Teng's ability to sing this song is the result of Zuo Lao's choice.
In 1973, director Li Xing put Qiong Yao's novel "Caiyun Fei" on the screen. The interludes in the film are all responsible for Zuo Hongyuan, in addition to the theme song "CaiyunFei", there are also interludes such as "A Thousand Words" and "How Can I Leave You".
At that time, Zuo Hongyuan recommended Teresa Teng to Qiong Yao to sing, but Qiong Yao did not agree, because she did not believe that such a young girl could perfectly express the deep meaning and emotion of the song. Zuo Hongyuan did not think so, because he had cooperated, so he believed in Teresa Teng's ability.
In the end, Teresa Teng's performance was also very perfect, completely digesting and expressing the emotions of the song, convincing Qiong Yao and others, and even more convincing the ears of many listeners, and the song was even more popular.
After this, Teresa Teng became Qiong Yao's royal singer, because she hoped that each of her works could be based on its lyrics.
Two: Zuo Hongyuan and Qi Qin.
Stemming from a great passion for movies, Zuo Hongyuan made his first film "Slippery Her Again", in which there is a particularly popular song "Slippery Her", sung by Qi Qin, which is said to be Qi Qin's first song.
Initially, it was Zuo Lao who found Qi Qin. Zuo Lao believes that Qi Qin's singing method was very special at that time, different from the popular singing method in Hong Kong at that time, with a rock flavor. And it just so happens that this song is a song that combines rock and lyricism, various types of rock, and it is also a song that combines people's voice, dress and rhythm, so I found Qi Qin, unsurprisingly, the response is very good. Qi Qin also began to show his head temporarily, after this song, Zuo Lao also wrote "About Winter" for him, which is also one of Qi Qin's representative works.
Three: Zuo Hongyuan and Zhao Wei.
Zhao Wei, Lin Xinru's version of "Huan Zhu Gege" is more famous needless to say, the popularity of this TV series that year is unimaginable, and the stars who are popular are also innumerable.
The protagonists of that year were basically on fire, and Zhao Wei even borrowed the fire of this drama. It can be said that although these are basically their own efforts, Zhao Wei still has to thank one person, that is, Zuo Hongyuan, because Zhao Wei went to participate in the audition of "Huan Zhu Gege", or Zuo Hongyuan took her to audition, so there was the role of Xiao Yanzi.
There is also the song of the eccentric "There is a Girl" in the play, which is also sung by Zuo Yuanhong and Zhao Wei.
In fact, "There is a girl" was really a very special costume drama song at that time, because it actually had rap in it, which was really quite interesting. It is also because of this rap dialogue that Zuo Lao has a difference of opinion with the record company, the producer, and Qiong Yao, but Zuo Lao relies on his own persistence and persuasion and the progress of the times to set this very special song, and only then does he have the memory in the hearts of a generation.
In addition, Zuo Lao has brought feng feifei with his younger generation, and There are many other talents in Taiwanese singers such as Xu Ruyun, Gao Shengmei, Cai Xingjuan, meng Tingwei and so on.
The reporter also wondered how many people Zuo Lao had been a Bole, from the first singer to the present, how many singers and artists were found? And why are you so passionate about it?
Zuo Hongyuanyan: There are many, probably more than a hundred people.
As for why I dare to be a Bole, it is because I have a special sense of responsibility for children. (Talented kids can always pull a handful now)
Here, I have to express my admiration and gratitude to Zuo Hongyuan for this kind of Bole, and thank you Zuo Lao for letting us hear and see so many excellent people.
Speaking of representative works, we will find that Zuo Lao's representative works, in terms of film and television songs, are actually the theme song of the two classic giants of childhood replays, "The Legend of the New White Lady", and a small number of interludes of "Huan Zhu Gege".
Composing music for "Huan Zhu" must have stemmed from a friendship with Qiong Yao. Since the 1970s, Zuo Lao and Qiong Yao have been cooperating.
But several of the songs produced for "The Legend of the New White Lady" are simply the "brainwashing divine comedies" of that era. Especially "A Thousand Years Wait", whenever the prelude of the song is sung, people can involuntarily want to sing along, indulging in the rhythm and unable to extricate themselves, which is a classic.
It is such a classic song, some time ago, at the Seventh Beijing Film Festival, Zuo Hongyuan and his disciple Zhou Qian jointly performed "A Thousand Years waiting", the scene was very shocking, people were very excited.
However, looking at Zuo Hongyuan's life and creation, we can find that many of his well-known works were mostly created in the last century, because Zuo Hongyuan is gradually shifting the focus of his work.
His later works became famous, but they all had a certain level, because he began to turn to large-scale historical dramas, the creation of theme songs, soundtracks and record producers of love myth TV series.
And Zuo Lao has always insisted on making Chinese-style music, no matter how the style and style change, it is always Chinese. It is also encouraged that everyone can make music from all aspects of ancient Chinese knowledge, culture, and music, because China has thousands of years of civilization, which is inexhaustible and inexhaustible, and these are places that can be integrated and adapted.
It can be said that Zuo Lao's life is all about music dealing with, life, life is also music. He is like a man born for music, to bring us joy and memories.
