Female singers who have been debuting for 21 years and climbing to the top for more than ten years but have only been on the hot search three times are probably only Chen Qizhen.
Chen Qizhen should be the lowest popular singer of the same level, but the highest public memory point.
The three hot searches she has only been on are "Fan Weiqi Liang Jingru Chen Qizhen" "Chen Qizhen Gentle" and "Chen Qizhen and her boyfriend of 18 years broke up" in chronological order.
These three hot searches are old friends getting together, new song releases and ending love runs.
More than twenty years later, the song is still coming out, the friends around are still those few, and the boyfriend is promoted from a career partner to a lover and then returns to the position of a friend.
If time continues to move forward, Chen Qizhen will probably accompany the fans all the way so plainly and gently.
She is the most qualified independent musician and the best music icon.
No new songs are spoken, and no tours are not open.
I don't like to alarm the public with my private life, no gossip, no tearing, no private unseemly.
In the twenty-one years since Chen Qizhen's debut, in addition to normal singing, concert business, and standing for friends, the news about her can be counted on one hand.
She left an impression on the public, just like these three hot searches she has been on.
Have affection and fun for friends, be serious and gentle with music, bravely greet love when it comes, and never drag mud and water when it goes.
Chen Qizhen is probably one of the best music icons in the Chinese music scene in the past two decades.
Yes, Chen Qizhen is an idol.
It is not the kind of idol that fans desperately use to vote and like to send them to make their debut in a high position.
It's the kind of person that when you were a child, you were often asked by adults about what kind of person you would be when you grew up, idol.
In the past two decades of pop music trends and niche cultures, Chen Qizhen's name is the most representative symbol.
Even in the years when Xiao Qingxin was popular, as long as Chen Qizhen was mentioned, there were pilgrims in any forum.
Teacher Chen, the goddess of "missionary"
Chen Qizhen has two symbols for the enlightenment of this generation of post-90s, one is a fresh folk song, and the other is the meaning of travel.
Many people who do not know musical scores have their enlightenment on folk songs and guitars from Chen Qizhen.
So that in the later draft, there were countless little girls with an acoustic guitar singing small fresh words.
She loves to travel to express her attitude, and even the self-whispers of lost love have never seen any discouraged words.
On the contrary, it is full of self-explanatory open-mindedness.
In the entertainment industry full of newcomers, Chen Qizhen is not the kind of young and famous, and she was 29 years old when she released the single "The Meaning of Travel".
Riding the motorcycle has been to many places, seen a lot of scenery, and then woven these places and places that have not yet been reached into her musical imagination.
For those who are not familiar with movies, Nine copies may be the first attraction other than language textbooks that most post-90s people know.
Her songs mention many countries and places, and many people's first imaginative journey when they were teenagers originated from Teacher Chen's songs.
Whether it is "The Coffee Shop of Nine Parts", "Take the Train to the Legendary Shonan Coast", or the famous song "The Meaning of Travel", she wants to search for the world's response and find the answer to her heart through continuous travel.
She is the first independent musician with a clear appearance in the public perception, and the first top independent female singer in the independent music circle to truly go from a niche to the public.
There are so many non-mainstream music, but Chen Qizhen has only one.
For Chen Qizhen, her most remarkable thing is not the label of a niche singer who has sold well, but her identity as an independent music producer.
Because she is one of the few singers in the circle with original labels, who can take over the creation, arrangement and production of an entire album, a real independent musician.
Not only songwriting, arrangement, production, even cover, printing bargaining this kind of thing must be personally asked by Chen Qizhen herself, and even have to lend to issue albums, which can be called a real independent studio.
The nickname of "Teacher Chen" is definitely not a vain name.
Open Douban search Chen Qizhen, the average score of works before 2010 is almost more than 9 points, and the score of Chen Qizhen's album released in the same year is even higher than that of Jay Chou.
Of course, the number of scorers is also very different, after all, Chen Qizhen still belongs to the minority category, but in her album rating, the proportion of 1 star and 2 stars does not even add up to more than 0.3%, which shows that Teacher Chen's status in Wenqing's heart is no less than that of the missionary goddess.
Chen Qizhen, who is struggling in the middle-aged crisis in the eyes of the outside world.
Teacher Chen, who is in his twenties, does not have much fame, but has a lot of energy.
At that time, she only sold her own demos in Kenting every day, and after the album was recorded, she went to the major record companies to sell them herself, and even coaxed her own students to join the record distribution team, like an organized record direct sales team.
It wasn't until she was in college that she participated in a Taiwanese wooden boat folk song contest for the second time that she began to attract attention, and the judge who made her stand out was Wu Bai.
He commented that Chen Qizhen singing was like a painting.
Not only Teacher Chen's words, but also Teacher Chen's voice.
Clean but full of rendering power, there are also a lot of blank space, listening to Chen Qizhen's song is like "imagination flying".
But in recent years, many people have questioned Chen Qizhen's songs for losing this ability.
In recent years, whenever Teacher Chen's new specialty came out, a large number of questioning voices came pouring in.
Whether it is "Song of Time" or "Sofa Sea", those reasons she set are almost the same as the words that she didn't like "Say Good and Don't Cry", Jiang Lang was exhausted, his aura was lost, and he stood still.
This is almost all original singers after the peak period of creation, will inevitably usher in the soul torture, Chen Qizhen of course is not exempt from vulgarity.
Because in the eyes of the public, Chen Qizhen is a different existence.
In the chain of musical contempt, most people denounce xiao freshness without attitude, but the self-touching of no disease moaning under the popularity.
Except for Chen Qizhen.
"The Meaning of Travel" seems to be the accumulation of journeys, but it is actually about the attitude of leaving and forgetting a relationship.
"Fish" dedicated to the question of life and death, "Song of the Wanderer" dedicated to the traveler of hope and despair, every combination of a few simple sentences, there will be a surprising philosophical birth, making people suddenly remember at the corner of the note that she graduated from the philosophy department.
It is precisely because of this surprise encounter that when everyone is accustomed to the surprises brought by Teacher Chen's new songs, the emotion in their hearts recedes.
In the eyes of the outside world and even many music fans, Chen Qizhen suffered her own midlife crisis, and several consecutive albums are chords without freshness, poor style of donkey skills and few remaining touches.
One of the most popular songs in recent years is the theme song of the movie "Like You", "Inner Activities When I Like You".
Compared with other prolific original singers, her speed of singing has always been very slow, and she only released one in two or three years.
The world is too fast, and Chen Qizhen is used to finding a response to the world in her own rhythm.
For the public, Chen Qizhen is like the echo in the valley that may feel fresh for the first time, but over time, it begins to feel monotonous.
But Chen Qizhen, do you need freshness?
Does Chen Need to Change?
Long hair in the middle of the floral skirt, or high ponytail white t, are the public's eyes are very Chen Qizhen image.
Chen Qizhen's people are just like her people, consistent for decades.
Some time ago, Chen Qizhen and Liang Jingru took a selfie together to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Liang's debut, and chen Qizhen in the photo was familiar like yesterday except for the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes.
For Teacher Chen, the years really don't seem to be worth mentioning.
She is the kind of girl who is considered by everyone to be the youngest girl, but her attitude towards life from beginning to end does not have a hint of the little girl's twisting and careful posture, but there is a kind of open and close, light and light.
Even if it is a relationship that has been talked about for 18 years, it is still easy to put down the position of returning to the friend.
After all, Teacher Chen had already predicted in "The Meaning of Travel", leaving is the meaning.
There are many female singers in the Chinese music scene who will use guitars, but there is only one Chen Qizhen who really relies on a guitar to go to the world.
Despite chen's high popularity, her songs have always been underestimated by the public, and are considered to be a collection of simple chords, and the aura is far better than the skill.
This also leads to many guitar novices having to learn Teacher Chen as soon as they come up, but in fact, her songs have simple chords like "The Meaning of Travel", but there are also songs like "Too Smart" that use more than 70 chord variations, which give guitar advanceders a headache.
Chen Qizhen's talent and aura lie in writing the most touching music with the simplest chords, and in the fact that using a consistent style can still make people get the first touch.
Emotional sentimental words are written in Chen Qizhen's song as another kind of healing: "Hold me / Frequently turn back after the fallen leaves / Hold me / Unstoppable fall" in Chen Qizhen's song.
Wrapped in the gentleness of her voice, it is still as hot as hearing Chen Qizhen more than a decade ago.
More than ten years later, Teacher Chen can still write such a moving thing as "Song of the Wanderer".
This is also why more than twenty years after his debut, there are not a few singers who have risen through the shareholders of Xiao Qingxin, but after the wave has faded, there is still only one Chen Qizhen left.
Whether it is a person or a song, it is more difficult to change than to change.
And for believers, some things never need to be changed, and the same is true for Chen Qizhen.
As long as she stood there as always, she would always guard the initial touch, as a temple of faith, and continuously attract young and fiery souls.
From Classmate Chen to Teacher Chen, her forty years old is still a better twenty years old.
