The entertainment industry often sees the phenomenon of success or failure with appearance and heroism with traffic, which makes people feel bored from time to time, even if they are wrapped up in the trend and move forward, the show business that once spoke with strength is still nostalgic.
Today, Xiaobian will come to pick up with you a powerful singer who debuted at the peak, but because of the tragedy at home, he quit the song world for more than twenty years at the peak - Mai Zijie.
"Anna Karenina" says: "Happy people are all similar, and unfortunate people have their own misfortunes." ”
Mai Zijie originally had a very happy childhood, his father was a soldier, his mother was a quite stylish literary and artistic young woman, Mai Zijie also had a little sister, and the Mai family with both children and daughters had all the elements of a happy life.
The Mai family enjoyed this happiness with peace of mind, the two children played and laughed during the day, and at night they slept peacefully under the gentle reading of their mother, waiting for the rising sun tomorrow.
At that time, "Lushan Love" was often their companion sleep book.
When Mai Zijie was three years old, he had the opportunity to perform and sing in his father's military camp, but in fact, everyone did not have much demand and expectation for him.
A three-year-old child, whether the song is correct or not, can sing a complete song in public and earn a lot of applause from the audience.
Mai Zijie's debut on the stage gave everyone a surprise.
He was a very timid and even somewhat wooden child, but from the moment he stepped onto the stage, it was as if he had stepped into a world of his own, and the audience that would have made him nervous and afraid was isolated by him with something.
He gently walked to the middle of the stage and sang a song that was only for himself, the voice was clear, the tune was complete, the typhoon was steady, and it was difficult for people to believe that the "singer" on the stage was still a three-year-old child.
Mai's father was very happy, he felt that his son was a malleable talent, so he sent him to the vocal school for professional training, and Mai Zijie's musical path began.
After studying music, Mai Zijie had more and more opportunities to perform.
Before each time on stage, his mother would ask the dress customization center outside to customize a suit for him to perform.
Although the suit was already gorgeous, the mother would sew or embroider some decorative patterns for her son on it, bringing the best auspicious meaning to her son.
Mai Zijie did not live up to his parents' expectations, and in 1986 he was admitted to the vocal music department of Xinghai College with excellent results.
When he was still in school, he was often called to sing by his brother who had graduated, which was still a very interesting past.
One day, a brother-in-law approached Mai Zijie and invited him to sing Wang Jie's "Can't Say Goodbye".
Because when he was taking a bath in the water room, he often heard Mai Zijie humming while taking a bath, thinking that he sang very well, but because Mai Zijie learned the singing method of classical opera, he lacked a little popular vicissitudes, so he wanted Mai Zijie to practice well again.
Mai Zi did not bother to make a difference in this vicissitudes, shouted for one night and shouted his throat dumb, and the next day he had the feeling of "smoke throat", and sure enough, Mai Zijie sang as soon as he appeared on the scene and shocked everyone.
After graduation, Mai Zijie entered the Guangdong Provincial Song and Dance Troupe, and his voice was also first-class in the Song and Dance Troupe.
One day Mai Zijie finished singing solo, and then there was an actress to continue singing, the actress was in the background, the song had sounded, Mai Zijie picked up the microphone and mouth-to-mouth, while waiting for the actress to play, the result was that people thought that Mai Zijie's voice could be magical to the point of both men and women eating.
Because everyone can't sing the high-pitched Mai Zijie can, the range that everyone can't detect, Mai Zijie can, there is nothing he can't do, so when he started singing the female voice, everyone actually believed.
At that time, Guangzhou was the place that led the trend of Chinese music development, and the first station for Hong Kong and Taiwanese music to enter the mainland was Guangzhou, and some outstanding artists in Guangzhou were also favored by Hong Kong and Taiwan companies.
In 1994, Mai Zijie successfully signed with Hong Kong PolyGram Records, which set a precedent for a mainland male singer to sign a contract with a Hong Kong record company.
With the company's packaging and publicity, Mai Zijie's stage expanded from Guangzhou to the whole country.
Mai Zijie's musical talent was also better discovered, and when he signed the contract, he singed the literary and art circles with a song composed by himself, "Love", and won the theme songs of ATV prime-time TV series such as "Young Hero Fang Shiyu" and "Goodbye Sunny Days".
In 1995, the 28-year-old Mai Zijie won the Most Popular Male Singer Award in the "Guangzhou Music Top Ten Golden Melodies Chart", when Mai Zijie was revered as a "voice aristocrat", and Together with Lin Yilun, Gao Linsheng and Huang Gexuan, he was known as the "Four Little Dragon Kings of guangdong music".
People are full of expectations for these young people whose voices are pure as nature and who look handsome like Pan An, who are becoming idols of more and more people, and Mai Zijie, who is a champion, is surrounded by fans everywhere he goes.
After the award was announced, the organizers were in intensive preparation for the award ceremony at the Tianhe Stadium, and a joyful atmosphere of Mai Zijie was brewing in the city, which was a kind of celebration that was more exciting than the Spring Festival.
However, the award ceremony that left a forever frozen frame in Mai Zijie's life seemed to be cursed, and it became a tearful memorial service in countless attentions and expectations.
On the eve of the award ceremony, a tragic incident occurred in Mai Zijie's home.
A murderous gangster broke into the Mai family, killed the unsuspecting Mai Father and Mai Ma, and just like the ugly Eight-Nation Alliance army that burned down the Yuanmingyuan, not to mention the robbery of money, in order to destroy the corpse before leaving, a fire burned down the Mai family's house.
When Mai Zijie, who was immersed in joy, rushed home and wanted to give the trophy to his parents who had raised him for many years, what awaited him was the cascading of onlookers and the cold cordon that prevented him and his sister from returning home—defenseless, not even goodbye, and his parents and the happy times of the past were forever goodbye.
Like a joke, on the one hand is the scene of receiving the award, on the other hand, the family is broken, and Mai Zijie is like standing in the double heaven of ice and fire.
He collapsed, the award receiving scene was definitely not going, and the blood stains in the home could not be accepted.
However, the organizer of the award ceremony called and said that for other reasons, the other three male singers could not come to the scene, and if Mai Zijie, as the champion, did not come again, the whole party could not be opened, hoping that Mai Zijie could still consider attending.
The next day, in the eyes of people's surprise, Mai Zijie attended the stage as scheduled and sang a song according to the prior agreement.
On stage, Mai Zijie endured emotions, the audience was silent and tearful, the award ceremony ended in a sad mood, and as soon as he stepped off the stage, Mai Zijie cried loudly...
The boy has tears, not softly, but not to the sad place. Mai Zijie, who was nearly thirty years old, cried so hard that no one would laugh at his tears, but wanted to give him a hug.
In mourning, Mai Zijie announced that he had withdrawn from the music scene.
When his parents were tragically stricken, Mai Zijie's sister Mai Xuan was studying for graduate school, she was still a student who was not deeply involved in the world, in order to let her sister rest assured of her studies, Mai Zijie comforted her sister at the first time: "I will raise you." ”
After Mai Zijie quit the music scene, he started to work around the radio DG and other music, many people often see Mai Zijie working with his sister, earning money to take his sister to improve his life, and the two brothers and sisters rely on each other to spend the most difficult days.
When Mai Xuan graduated with a master's degree, the graduation ceremony was invited to parents to attend the celebration together, Mai Xuan's parents had no way to come, she pretended to be strong on the surface, pretended to be indifferent, but in her heart she was silently uncomfortable.
But on the day of the graduation ceremony, she suddenly saw her brother Mai Zizhi in the parents' seat, wearing a suit and makeup, and Mai Xuan was touched by her brother's heart to remember her graduation ceremony, and wondered why her brother was wearing makeup.
It turned out that Mai Zijie had a performance that day, he had been pinching the time point in his heart, after the performance went straight to his sister's school, there was really no time to change clothes and remove makeup, he wanted to make up for the lack of his sister's heart, although there was no father and mother, but he wanted to be a good sister's parent, others should have, he must also give his sister.
Mai Zijie's radio work has been widely acclaimed for more than ten years.
Time diluted the bloody smell of the tragic case of that year, and also soothed Mai Zijie's wounded heart, and at the same time made his once brilliant singing career more and more distant, and those dazzling stage lights and boiling cheers had long since cooled into cool memories.
In 2013, while passing through security at the airport, Mai Zijie met Mao Ning, and the encounter brought him back to the stage.
At that time, Mao Ning was participating in Anhui Satellite TV's "I Am Crazy for Songs" program, but Mao Ning's throat was swollen, and he could not get better for a while and a half, so he invited Mai Zijie to participate in the program for himself.
Out of his relationship with Mao Ning, Mai Zijie agreed to come down, he did not expect that "I Am Crazy for Song" is such a large singing competition.
The first "Persistence" made him difficult because he needed to adapt the rock style of the original song into a British gorgeous style tune, but the time was too short to be completed.
Coincidentally, a friend of Mai Zijie's was just studying this adaptation at the time, he worked overtime overnight, and the next day he presented a different "Persistence" to Mai Zijie, and Mai Zijie felt that he had a bottom after listening to the prelude.
Mai Zijie, who was leaning on the stage, lit up the audience's eyes as soon as he took the stage, and the first game of the breakout match beat Zhu Hua and Ji Jie with a score of 282 votes to successfully escape the danger of elimination.
In the fourth game of the breakout competition, he sang a song "Between Love and No Love", which won the highest number of votes in the whole game with 307 votes.
In the fifth game of the breakout competition, he used 343 votes of "That Sea" to beat singers such as Sa Dingding, Yu Kewei, Ke Yimin and so on, so that the red team won the absolute vote advantage.
When the program selected the "Favorite Male Singer" award, Mai Zijie was elected with 501 votes.
Mai Zijie was full of emotions, he said: "I have not stood on the stage of the competition for almost 20 years, and 501 spectators voted for me on the spot, which made me the most popular male singer, and I feel that I am back in that year." This is also a kind of encouragement from the audience to sing to me for so many years. ”
In the final game of the competition, Mai Zijie meaningfully chose a song that praised his mother's "The Sky is Big" as the competition repertoire.
He said he had wanted to sing this song for a long time because: "This is a knot that has been hidden in a corner of my heart, singing this song dedicated to my parents, I hope they can hear ..."
"Mom, under the moonlight, quietly I miss you, the worry that is quietly flowing in the blood, the embrace of your mother, the swaddling I have loved all my life..."
On the stage, Mai Zijie interpreted the whole song with a singing method close to the bel canto, and the notes with the story slowly flowed out of his mouth, carrying people through mai zijie's past and present, he was still the young man who had been seriously hurt, and he was no longer the depressed and sad child of the year...
After the game, Mai Zijie received many invitations to beijing to develop, he refused one by one, since he could put it down at the peak of his youth, he knew better how to choose the road of life when he was nearly fifty years old.
He said: "I am not young, I am a very casual person, but also very cautious, I have a good idea, work and life balance. ”
Nowadays, Mai Zijie enjoys the current time.
He has never been free from music, whether it is radio DG or music teacher, he has done it.
He can enjoy the gorgeous addition of awards, and he also loves the simple and unpretentious mortal life.
Some people are extraordinary, but they are willing to be obscure "sweeping monks", and every life is as good as you want.
Bai Yansong once said: "No matter how much wind there is, it can't blow overnight, no matter how much rain can't rain for a day, who brought this kind of wild storm - God." God can't make it last, let alone people. No matter how difficult the time is, you must believe that it will pass. ”
There are always many unbearable weights in life, but we still have to face them.
Instead of running away, it is better to face it, after all, it is possible to return to the top of the mountain after walking out of the trough.
