In 1999, Li Manting, a famous lyricist who wrote "Flower Heart" for Zhou Huajian and "Laughing Red Dust" for Chen Shuhua, was amazed by the voice of a little girl, flew from Taiwan to the mainland to operate a new album specifically for her to catch a knife, and wrote a song called "Wake Up your Ears".
This little girl is the singer who was very popular and was known as "Faye Wong's successor" - Jin Haixin.
With this song, Jin Haixin's debut in the first year was on the Spring Festival Gala stage that countless stars dreamed of!
Coupled with the title of "the first female singer signed by Sony in the mainland" on her head, as well as the escort of the famous musician Sanbao Teacher, etc., she became the "proud daughter of heaven" at that time, and she was in the limelight for a while!
But just when everyone thought she would become the second "queen of heaven" in the mainland, she unexpectedly faded out of people's sight, and this silence was twenty years!
Until the recent "Who is the Treasure Singer" program, everyone saw her and couldn't help but sigh:
This pearl, which has been covered in dust for many years, still shines like that!
So why didn't Jin Haixin become the "second Faye Wong" as everyone expected? Let's take a look at her lamentable experience:
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > Jin Haixin & Faye Wong: The same top resources, different personalities</h1>
As the first singer to sign and build a lot of money from Sony Records, Jin Haixin's resources can be described as the top at that time:
Huang Zheng, who sang "Love Normandy", composed music for her, Li Manting, who wrote lyrics for Andy Lau, wrote lyrics for her, and the budding singer-songwriter Cao Fang wrote lyrics for her, and even Zhang Yadong, a producer used by Faye Wong, made more than one song for her!
Such a luxurious lineup, coupled with her voice and singing skills very similar to that of Tianhou Faye Wong, helped her to kill a bloody road in the Millennium Chinese music scene in her heyday, and when she debuted, she was red through half the sky.
As soon as the first album "Wake Up Your Ears" came out, the industry gave a very high evaluation to this fledgling little girl:
Amazing voice and unique personality of the singing voice.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised that there was finally a female singer in the mainland who could compete with Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, and was a figure of the level of a proper immortal at that time.
But Jin Haixin, who is also a Beijing lady with Faye Wong, has a cooler personality and pride in his bones than the Queen of Heaven!
After the explosion of the first record, Sony wanted to take advantage of the chase to produce the next one. Because the market is changing rapidly, releasing new songs at the peak of popularity is something that must be done to maintain the popularity of singers, but at this time, Jin Haixin's arrogance appeared "out of time":
She no longer wants to be at the mercy of the company and wants to make her favorite music, which is tantamount to openly challenging the authority of the company, but Jin Haixin only wants to insist on her own persistence...
So, Sony waited for her for a year and a half, and her second album, So Proud, was late.
There is a sentence in the album's intro:
"The overall direction of the new album is closer to Jin Haixin, and the willing sound quality and external image are extremely close to Jin Haixin's musical style in terms of musical concepts."
No company will like "disobedient" employees, so Jin Haixin, who disagreed with the company, simply jumped to Warner.
At that time, Warner recruited a number of powerful singers, not only Sun Yanzi and Zhang Huimei, but also a brother Sun Nan and a sister Na Ying in the mainland.
Her wave of newcomers also includes Park Shu, Old Wolf, Ye Bei, oh yes, and our Xun Brother - Zhou Xun is also (remember her "Fluttering")...
The platform and colleagues are very good, this matter depends on how to say, at best, it is more likely to develop, but the bad place is also obvious:
Resources are limited, everyone should talk about the allocation of seniority and so on! And Jin Haixin waited for three years.
After another three years of waiting, it ushered in her album "Independence Day" after her transformation into a singer-songwriter...
Among them, she experienced three changes in warner's top management, and Jin Haixin, who was righteous, spoke up for the high-level people she supported, but the other party failed to stay, which also led to her being implicated and hidden in disguise.
She had been angry and broken, but no matter how young and vigorous she was, she would eventually be covered by a sigh, and she had to accept the reality and leave.
Her arrogant and stubborn personality has achieved the unique temperament of her songs, but it has also made her run into walls everywhere in reality, which directly affects her career development!
Maybe once again, she will choose this, there is always a type of person in this world, who will pay everything for her persistence without complaint and regret, just to be ashamed.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="67" > "low-key" and "hot", the dilemma is complete</h1>
When we first listen to Jin Haixin's voice, we will indeed be surprised that she and Faye Wong have a very similar voice, but under close listening, her equally thin and transparent voice has more playful girlishness that Faye Wong does not have, and some electronic sounds.
It's like saying that although she and Faye Wong are very low-key, their "low-key" is very different:
Faye Wong's fame and her well-known "love affair of the century" have made her consciously or unconsciously the center of everyone's topic, even if she wants to keep a low profile.
But Jin Haixin is really low-key, she took the heavy responsibility of promoting the album to go to "Tonight There is a play", but she only passed by it, but instead talked to Guo Degang with gusto...
Guo Degang handed her a conversation head and asked her about her boyfriend outside the circle, and she directly said that she did not want to be disturbed, and cut off the signs of hyping up the love affair.
In her body, there is no kind of unscrupulous upward momentum, although this is very good, but the reality is that she lacks "topicality", and as a star, if there is only strength and no topicality, it is equivalent to cutting off a large half of her exposure!
"Low-key" and "hot" are two opposite directions, and if one is chosen, it is bound to be regarded as automatically abandoning the other.
Therefore, Jin Haixin's fading out is the result of her own choice.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="91" > also, also</h1>
Jin Haixin's "decline" is also inseparable from the general trend of the mainland music scene:
At that time, the entire music scene was in decline, the rampant piracy and the popularity of MP3 made the form of "buying an album" gradually snubbed by people, so that after 2000, there was already a "record is dead" argument, and the entire mainland music scene was encountering a market winter, whether it was a company or a singer.
At this time, Jin Haixin made a decision: she wanted to transform, but because of this transformation, her "declining" footsteps were dragged and accelerated several times...
Jin Haixin, who wants to transform, signed "Huayou Jinxinzi"!
You may not have heard the name of this company, but you must have heard of their company's products: all kinds of explosive mobile phone ringtones are from their hands, such as Wang Qiang's "Autumn Does Not Come Back", Hu Li's "Fox Loves Bears", Zhang Zhenyu's "Don't Hurt Me Again"...
It is said that the singer Lan Gang, the boss of Huayou, wants to work with is Faye Wong the most, but he himself knows that he can't sign tianhou, so he signed Jin Haixin, who sings as well as Faye Wong.
He was very happy, but he dragged Jin Haixin from the top altar of the music world directly to the ranks of "color bell singers", even if "Love Is Like Narcissus" is very good, but in the eyes of many fans, Jin Haixin to sing color bell songs, is tantamount to going to the sea to willingly degenerate...
The "shoddy" and "kitsch" of the CRBT songs also indirectly hung on Kim Hae-sin's body, and the whole image was greatly reduced!
A "queen of heaven embryos" also because of the failed choice, since then embarked on the "rainbow bell song queen" of the road of no return, gradually forgotten, let people strangle.
On the other hand, Faye Wong, she debuted in the reform and opening up period, when everyone had long been tired of listening to those immutable songs, and she appeared with music that was partially positioned as "the sound of mesmerizing", which instantly surprised the ears of countless people.
Riding on this shareholder wind, it is natural that she will be popular all over the country.
Lü Meng, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, once wrote in the "Han Kiln Endowment": "Humanity is precious to me, not my ability, this is the time, luck, and fate." "
A person's achievements are indeed related to their own strength, but if they are not born at the right time and do not encounter the right time, then even the strongest strength will be greatly reduced!
For a person to succeed, it is important to be born at the right time. With the same talent and strength, Faye Wong encountered the trend of the music scene that is climbing up, and Jin Haixin only caught the last train.
A deviation in timing is enough to change a person's fate.
But fortunately, Jin Haixin herself also belongs to all the despised personality, so she did not affect herself because of such ups and downs, but lived her own happy life at her own pace.
On the 2018 "The Masked Singer Will Guess Guess", Wu Qixian asked her where she had been for so many years, and she said:
"I don't think you'll always be so active."
When others say this, it may not rule out the suspicion of official words, but Jin Haixin said so, I believe it!
This indifference allows her to appear on the stage of "Who is the Treasure Singer" after 20 years, still like a girl, a sentence "The park will be demolished, don't tear down the memory" easily pulls the audience back to her time.
Zhang Yadong, who has always been introverted and stable in the audience, heard tears in his eyes, and the friendship between the two people for more than twenty years turned into an almost choked sentence:
"How are you?"
"How am I, how are you?"
The years have not left a mark on her body, but they have made the people who have been thinking about her more expect her.
Even Chen Grain, who is usually known for his uninhibited personality, was so excited that he could not cry, and deliberately stood under the stage to look up at Jin Haixin and said affectionately:
"I have to come down to the stage and talk to you, I think you deserve such a long wait... Would you please perform more? ”
In a word, the audience also shed tears.
We have waited for Jin Haixin for too long, and every time there is a show about the singer, everyone is secretly looking forward to her return in their hearts.
This time I finally waited for her, how could I not make people feel uneasy.
She also really deserves the title of "Treasure Singer"!
