On December 26, Hunan Satellite TV's "Singer 2019" press conference was held in Beijing, and the much-anticipated starting lineup was finally basically unveiled, in addition to Liu Huan, Wu Qingfeng, and the escape plan, who had been spoiled before, there were also two big-name singers Qi Yu and Yang Kun, and there was also a seemingly unknown Zhang Xin, and finally a mysterious singer remained. It is estimated that it is the European and American big name Avril Lavigne mentioned before.
Seeing this list, the first reaction of many netizens is: Who is Zhang Xin? How could she qualify to come to this stage? This season's dark horse? Will it be the second Zhang Tian? With this question, Xiaobian quickly went to pick up Zhang Xin's information and found her song to listen to. This can't be heard, my God, this is the second Zhang Tian, obviously the second Zhang Huimei came.
Most people really don't know anything about Zhang Xin, and a few people seem to know her only to "the runner-up of the 2007 Walk of Fame". But in fact, she really can't be underestimated. Zhang Xin is a mainland singer, she has no age on her profile, and it is speculated that she should be close to 40 years old. Because she has already won the first prize in the national singing competition in 1997 - the "Feitu Cup" National Young Singer Competition Finals. By the way, this competition is a grand music event held in Beijing and Hong Kong to welcome the return of Hong Kong, and the finals held in Beijing in July of that year, Tam Wing Lin, Zhang Guorong and Lai Xiaotian were all on-site judges, and Jacky Cheung was a special guest.
In 1999, Zhang Xin won a number of awards: including the Silver Award of the "99 Asian Music Festival" China Newcomer Singer Competition, and the Silver Award of the Asian Newcomer Finals; and in the "Century Wind" Chinese Original Song Competition, she won both the Gold Award for Singing and Composition. In 2000, she won the Excellence Award at the most prestigious CCTV Youth Song Contest in China. Since then, it has won awards in major singing competitions across the country, the most widely known being the third monthly champion and the runner-up of the year in the "Walk of Fame" in 2007.
After more than 10 years in the music circle, it was not until 2010 that Zhang Xin had the first masterpiece that really belonged to himself, "Little Hands Cold". The song is actually very good, many people say it is good, but some people comment that like internet songs, in fact, what the style is not important, what is important is that she can hear her extraordinary singing skills from the singing.
If you listen to some of her cover songs, such as "Dark Fragrance", "Autumn Spirit", "A Curtain of Dreams", "Peerless in the World", you can deeply feel that she is really powerful. Her talent in voice line is indeed comparable to Zhang Huimei's type, clear and delicate with a little magnetism, and the control of the breath and the expression of emotion in singing are all meticulous, the voice is explosive and relaxed, and the skill is used freely, and the overall is not lost to the mainland strength singer Zhu Hua. Such a singer, coming to the "Singer" stage is very scary, she can easily control any type of song, can soar high pitch dazzling skills, can shallow chanting and low singing detailed emotions, it is estimated that a blockbuster is not a problem.
Zhang Xin has actually sung many film and television songs, such as Huang Xiaoming's version of the theme song of "Deer Dingji", "How Suddenly It Became Like This", as well as the theme songs of "Modern Family", "Life Show", "Thirteen Grids", "Court Painter Lang Shining", "Shouhou Happiness", "Snow Wolf", "State Cadre" and other dramas. Although most of the above dramas are not fire, Zhang Xin has not been stained with much light, but each drama in the selection of singers, often tried one after another, and finally to Zhang Xin here on the full vote to pass.
Yes, her singing ability is very recognized, in addition to winning so many awards, she is actually a "national singer outside the system", has participated in the Spring Festival Gala held by the Ministry of Culture for many years, participated in the Chinese Embassy in the United States and united Nations related performance activities, in 2005 with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to visit Russia for exchange performances, in 2009 with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs again visit Kazakhstan performance and so on.
So the question is, why does Zhang Xin have the strength of a singer, but he is so nameless? In November 2008, she was a guest on the CCTV-12 "Psychological Interview" program and talked about her musical path. In fact, since she was a child, her musical path has been demarcated by her father, and she herself is more resistant to singing, and when she was young, she became a "vocal machine" created by her father. Later, affected by the death of singer Xie Jin, she felt that she was also in danger of falling into depression, so she resolutely fled this path and wanted to re-plan her own different life path. For this reason, she left the music scene for three years. After the experience of life, she slowly changed her concept and came back to singing, this time, she really began to sing for herself, and signed up for the "Walk of Fame" with the encouragement of her teacher.
Originally, as a strong and silently walking on the road of professional singers for nearly ten years, she resisted this kind of talent stage, but the teacher said: "No matter how good your singing level is, you also need a platform to show yourself, so that more people know and understand you." You've sung a lot of TV drama episodes and achieved so many good results, but how many people know you? The Avenue of Stars is a stage that is both popular and artistic, and you should stand up to let more audiences know you, appreciate you, and make yourself a star in the minds of the people."
In this way, Zhang Xin participated in the "Walk of Fame", so that everyone saw her good voice and singing skills, the high tone with a very metallic texture, the clever conversion of true and false voices and the free use of air vocal singing, so that her singing voice was as dexterous and gorgeous as instrumental music, which was obviously one level higher than that of the average talent singer. Although Zhang Xin did not become popular through the "Walk of Fame", this was a turning point in her acting career, because she really enjoyed the fun of singing for the first time. After that, she also went abroad for further study, then signed a contract with Beijing Kona International Culture Communication, became her first Chinese singer, and then began to release her own works. Perhaps in the understanding of singing, she did mature a little late, so over the years, success always seemed to be one step away from her.
This time, Hong Tao was a wise eye and discovered a singer like Zhang Xin, or everyone really did not know that there was such a forgotten strength singer in the mainland. Let's look forward to her shine on the "Singer" stage.
