Li Shouquan, a Taiwanese heavyweight producer, songwriter, singer-songwriter and original singer of "Zhang San's Song", recently announced that he has joined Taihe Music as a music consultant to develop the potential of Taihe Music's singers and expand the depth and breadth of music content.

Gold medal producers who predate Luo Dayou Musicians can also be cultural people

Li Jianfu, Pan Yueyun, Su Rui, Mei Yanfang, Jacky Cheung, Liu Wenzheng, Jiang Hui, Fei Yuqing, Wang Jie, Wang Lihong, Zhang Hang... These names are familiar to us, and the driving force behind them is Teacher Li Shouquan, who has created the collective memory of thousands of people, but because of his low-key lifestyle, his name may be a little strange to the audience in the mainland. Li Shouquan is a musician who predates Luo Dayou, and his music is full of conscience and humanistic care. He took the lead in experimenting with the concept of "conceptual production", making the "record producer" in the Taiwanese music scene a role of observation and leading the Taiwanese recording industry into a golden age of "production orientation".

Li Shouquan

In 1980, Li Shouquan, who had retired from the army, entered the Singel Records Production Department, and the album he first tried to produce was the pinnacle of the campus folk song era: Li Jianfu's "Descendants of the Dragon", which won the Golden Tripod Award for Best Production. After that, he and Su Lai, Jin Tiezhang, Xu Naisheng, Cai Qin, li Jianfu co-formed the "Tianshui Music Collection", founded the earliest "independent studio" model in the Taiwanese music industry, and did not sell his works to record companies, taking the lead in fighting for royalty rights and creative freedom for musicians. His albums Chala Khan and One Thousand Springs, which boldly introduced symphonic poetry suites and the concept of avant-garde rock, are immortal masterpieces of the late "folk song" trend.

In 1982, Li Shouquan produced Pan Yueyun's "Sky Sky Blue" album, which won three awards at the Golden Tripod Awards for Best Producer, Best Singer (Pan Yueyun) and Best Arranger (Chen Zhiyuan). In 1983, Li Shouquan produced the soundtrack for the movie "Hitchhiker" and personally composed the theme song "Same Moonlight", which set off a rock revolution in the music world and caused a sensation in Hong Kong and Taiwan. With this album, Su Rui rose to prominence, and Li Shouquan also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Film Interlude, the Golden Horse Award for Best Original Film Music (co-won with Chen Zhiyuan), and the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Film Score (co-won with Chen Zhiyuan) for this album.

In 1985, Li Shouquan, Zhang Aijia and Luo Dayou jointly initiated and produced the public welfare song "Tomorrow Will Be Better", which was unprecedented in calling on more than 60 singers to participate in singing, which was the most successful public welfare choral project in Taiwan's history, and its influence was extremely far-reaching.

Li Shouquan often cooperates with the art and literature circles and the film and drama circles "cross-border" to stimulate inspiration. In 1985, when he first came to the curtain, novelist Zhang Dachun and poet Chen Kehua wrote lyrics across the knife and published the first ep of Taiwanese pop music history, "The Future future", in the form of the soundtrack of the "Super Citizen" movie. In 1986, Li Shouquan published his solo album "8 and a Half", an album full of humanistic spiritual heritage, which combines the thickness of rock and roll and the poetry of folk songs. Cultural people Zhan Hongzhi, Wu Nianzhen, Zhang Dachun and others collaborated to write lyrics, a "song of Zhang San", which has become an immortal classic that has been sung for many years.

In 1987, Li Shouquan discovered singer Wang Jie and produced "A Game and a Dream", "Forgot You Forgot Me", and "Whether I Really Have Nothing", which pushed him to the throne of the king of the song world on both sides of the strait and the three places. In 1991, Li Shouquan discovered Wang Lihong, a newcomer who had just returned from the United States, and established the status of a "quality idol".

In 2006, Li Shouquan solved the problem of the contract that had been entangled for many years for singer-songwriter Zhang Hang, allowing her to make a successful debut. Since then, Li Shouquan has become Zhang Hang's mentor, creating the heavyweight singer who swept the independent music circle. In recent years, Li Shouquan has toured around with the pure vocal singing group "Vox Play", deeply cultivating the campus and setting off a wave of a cappella trend.

For more than 30 years, Li Shouquan has been an actor who continues to stand at the forefront and shape the future. He demonstrated the technical height of the craft of "record making", and also injected a sense of reality and literary thickness into Chinese pop music. Li Shouquan let us understand that "musicians" can also be "cultural people", an album can also be a window of enlightenment, a song can also lead the social trend, and even inspire and change the way a generation thinks. From the era of campus folk songs to the production of new labels such as Rolling Stones and Flying Saucers in the 1980s and 1990s, the peak period when kings and idols swept the music world, and even in the 21st century when independent music led the way, from Taiwanese songs to Hong Kong stars, from film music to religious crossover, Li Shouquan can always achieve one classic after another with an accurate vision and a broad mind, and at the turn of each era.
