Today is the 54th birthday of Zhang Qingfang, the "undefeated in the East" of the Chinese pop music scene.
As the self-proclaimed chief fan of Zhang Qingfang's mainland, Uncle Feng has not carefully written an article for many years of aidou, and it is also unreasonable.
Today's article is of special significance.
A while ago, Zhang Qingfang and Song Xueren, the godfather of Asian financial investment, divorced and dominated the headlines of Taiwan's entertainment news, but they did not have any blood, but handled it very thoroughly. Ah Fang was exposed to have received NT$1.6 billion in alimony and a mansion worth hundreds of millions of dollars, obtained a "free body", and moved towards another stage of life, which is also gratifying.
To use the famous Taiwanese host Yu Meiren's evaluation is: even divorce, are handled so textured. (Screenshot of the video of Zhongshi Newsletter)
And I have a Taiwanese friend who has maintained contact for more than 20 years and said that "Fang fans" (Ah Fang's fans) have a "you are happy" mentality about Zhang Qingfang's divorce, and "maybe you can come out and open a few more concerts" small excitement.
As we all know, Mr. Song is very strict with Ah Fang, and the concert should be reported, which may also be a reason for the breakdown of their feelings.
Ah Fang's boss, and one of the matchmakers of her marriage Zhang Xiaoyan celebrated her 72nd birthday on August 11, Ah Fang made her first appearance after the divorce news was exposed, refreshed to attend Xiao Yan's birthday party, was doubly pampered by Xiao Yan Sister, and even Haringo broke the sky with the anchor's wife Zhang Jiaxin to attend, and was robbed of the page by Ah Fang.
Zhang Qingfang married Song Xueren at that time, which is completely different from that kind of beautiful woman marrying a billionaire, and cannot be called "next marriage", but "door to door". She herself is a record circle with a total sales volume of more than 10 million "Oriental Undefeated", she is also a small rich woman, and met Mr. Song, a self-made man, is a combination of two people who yearn for family.
Today, Uncle Feng will turn out the heirlooms collected for many years to write about the brilliant singing career of this legendary female singer.
Born on August 31, 1966, Zhang Qingfang studied in Taiwan's then "Five Specialized Schools" - the private "China Municipal College", a school located in Wenshan District, Taipei City, which was renamed "University of Science and Technology of China" in 2005.
In 1984, Zhang Qingfang participated in the "University Town" program of Taiwan Television, which was to attack and defend the barrier, and Ah Fang also had the experience of being attacked and defeated by others.
Zhang Qingfang stands out in this show with her high-pitched and clear voice and steady typhoon.
At that time, Luo Jizhen, a male singer who was very popular in Taiwan, served as a judge of the challenge of this show and also appreciated Zhang Qingfang. In 2006, Luo Jizhen, who had turned to the music copyright business, became a senior executive of Fenghua Records, at that time Zhang Qingfang was Fenghua's master sister, but had just married in Hong Kong.
Subsequently, "University Town" held a Songwriting Competition for Young People in Colleges in Taiwan, and Zhang Qingfang won the Best Singing Award. She sang a song "Yueqin" in the final, and the judge on the stage was Zheng Yi, the original singer of "Yueqin".
There is a lyric in "Yueqin" that "the wind that falls on the mountain and the wind goes to the ocean, and the sentimentality will disappear", do you know how Uncle Feng's pen name came from?
This competition was hosted by the Golden Rhyme Award held in the Folk Song Era, and the new record that found and won many popular folk singers was found. Zhang Qingfang, who is still a student, first appeared in the second series of the newly identified set of "Golden Rhyme Award Innovation Series of The Winning Album of the Taiwan Songwriting Competition".
Zhang Qingfang is in this compilation album, and the songs of other winning singers are spelled together.
At that time, Zhang Qingfang's school had just been renamed "China Industrial and Commercial College", and she sang two songs on the album.
One is "Once Had It", how material the vinyl record production of that year was, and the short score of the song.
"Once Had It" is the work of the talented tu Patzen, who won the fifth place in the competition, and later she also entered the music scene and published an album.
The other is "Can You Or Not".
Xinge Records then produced a compilation album for Zhang Qingfang, as well as Zheng Wenren, the winner of the fourth Golden Yun Award hosted by Xinge, and Lu Xiaodan, the winning singer of the fifth Golden Yun Award.
At that time, the packaging for the three people was still quite foreign.
Zhang Qingfang has four songs in the compilation album.
Although Xinge Records was very popular in the folk song era, it was weakened by the tide of the record industry, and in the early 1990s, it could not be sustained, so it had to be sold to Rolling Stone Records. There is a young man from Changhua Ren Xianqi, in 1990 joined the new grid out of three records to go to the soldier, after returning to find that he was packaged by the company to sell to the Rolling Stones, Xiao Qi Ge later became the top pillar of the Rolling Stones, that is the last word.
Zhang Qingfang's several songs in The New Grid, the copyright is now in the Rolling Stones. In 1996, the Rolling Stones published a selection of the Golden Rhyme Awards, including her "Who Left Loneliness" and "Once Had"
Zhang Qingfang, who took the folk song route, did not sign to Xinge, and she was bent on entering a UFO record that was good at packaging, but she failed.
At that time, the Taiwanese music scene was popular with the jade girl trend, Lin Huiping, Yang Linla, and Jin Ruiyao, who later became the boss of Tao Zhe, were all of this type, and Zhang Qingfang, who was born with a figure-eight eyebrow, a petite and inconspicuous, may not really be a dish of flying saucer (who would have thought that she would later become a sister of Fenghua Records after the old part of the flying saucer left?). ）
At that time, Jin Ruiyao's high-value Japanese packaging beauty singer was very popular.
At this time, a female boss named Gui Mingyu boldly signed Zhang Qingfang. That record label, called Dian will record.
The logo of the point general, some people see as a fencer, but it is said to be a conductor with a baton.
Gui Mingyu, known as Gui Jie, before this, was the daughter of the senior executive of Haishan Records, an old rival of Xinge, and also made records in Haishan. After she came out alone, she found Haishan to come out, and Xu Wei, a male singer who had just retired from the army, signed a contract to become the first singer of the point general. Xu Wei found his comrade-in-arms Chen Huanchang to cooperate, and the first album "Endless You" that he made at the point was sold well, earning the first bucket of gold for Gui Jie.
This Chen Huanchang is the later pop music master Mr. Bug.
Xu Wei left the point after releasing three albums, and later his market was mostly in Singapore and Malaysia, and he once sang the theme song of the Singapore TV series "Palette" that mainland audiences are very familiar with, "City Rhythm".
Zhang Qingfang then became the first female singer to sign a contract.
In November 1985, Dian will release Zhang Qingfang's first album, the name is too gimmicky, called -
"After the Passion"
"After the Passion" sold 300,000 copies, which was a very amazing sales volume in Taiwan in the mid-1980s.
Zhang Qingfang then began her brilliant singing career as a sales queen.
After the big sale of "After the Passion", in the summer of 1986, Dian will release a second album for Zhang Qingfang while it is hot, called it
"I'm Still Young"
In November 1987, Dian will release a third album for Ah Fang -
"Dear Please Don't Say"
This title song of the same name, which is full of cheerful rhythm but hides sad emotions, is the song that many mainland fans know Zhang Qingfang for the first time.
In 1989, CCTV suddenly broadcast a music feature film "Chao - Songs from Taiwan" produced by Taiwanese host Zhao Xiaojun, introducing a group of Taiwanese pop singers to the mainland audience, such as the Little Tigers, Jiang Yuheng, Wang Jie, etc. Now it seems that most of this feature film is a flying saucer singer, but the influence produced at that time was amazing.
Zhang Qingfang's song was behind the Little Tigers at the time, it was this "Dear Please Don't Say", CCTV also typed the subtitles as "Dear Please Listen to Me", a mistake is 30 years.
The Little Tigers became popular in the mainland because of this show, while Zhang Qingfang was almost unfazed. This is actually related to the market strategy of the record company, the Little Tigers will soon have a mainland import version of the record to keep up, but Zhang Qingfang is too popular in Taiwan, and the point will probably not care about the mainland market at all.
At that time, with the influence of CCTV, the China Youth Audio-Visual Publishing House introduced this tape in the mainland, but the binding looked like a pirated version, and it actually used the cover of "I Am Still Young".
Zhang Qingfang is basically an album a year, each album is stable and high sales, the fourth album in June 1988 is -
"Recovery"
In the autumn of 1988 and the end of 1990, Zhang Qingfang published a series of albums of old songs in Hokkien, with a total of three albums, called ——
"The Ancient Song Nguyen Lai Sings"
In April 1989, Zhang Qingfang released an album that was quite meaningful to her.
Do You Like My Song? 》
From October 1989 to February 1991, Dian will make three folk song cover albums for Zhang Qingfang in a row, this series is called -
"Liu Sheng"
The "Liusheng" series is recognized as the best folk song cover album, of which "Liusheng 3", which is often said in the anecdotes, was inadvertently recorded as a fever disc, and because of the extremely elaborate selection and singing, it has been a god-level record of HIFI enthusiasts for many years, and various carrier records have been published.
In the 1990s, Zhang Qingfang not only did not get eliminated in the fiercely competitive Taiwanese music scene, but on the contrary, she consolidated the position of Tianhou and moved towards the peak of her career.
Ah Fang's first album in the 1990s can be said to be a transformation of her personal career, which was in line with the mood trend of urban women that emerged in Taiwan at that time (represented by "Dream Awakening Time"), and was closer to mainstream popularity in her own singing style.
This album is —.
The Purple Voice
In 1991, gold medal producer Yang Minghuang once again wrote a new album for Ah Fang and went to the United States to record, which is famous -
"Can't Wait" (La California)
In 1992, Zhang Qingfang, who already had the title of "Undefeated in the East", published two albums.
April is an impartial standard Zhang Qingfang sweet sketch ——
Serious Eyes
It's just an imported version of the tape from the mainland, it's so... It was introduced by the Beijing Culture, Art and Audio-Visual Publishing House.
Speaking of the Beijing Culture and Art Audio-Visual Publishing House, I have to say that in 1992, his famous TV series "Love You Is Not Negotiable", the male protagonist of the drama, Teacher Xie Yuan, died a few days ago, and Dan Danjie's glorious retirement, this drama was discussed again.
The soundtrack of this drama is jointly produced by Beijing Culture and Art Audio-Visual Publishing House and Dianjiang Records, the opening song is "Love You Are Not Negotiable" sung by Youke Li Lin, and the ending song is Zhang Qingfang's "Love Who Can Say Clearly"
"Love Who Can Say Clearly" has not been released in Taiwan, nor has it been published in audio-visual products other than tapes.
At the end of 1992, Zhang Qingfang's new album can be said to "explode" the Taiwanese music scene, that is, Zhang Qingfang's record sales are the highest-
"Radiance"
"Radiance" sold more than 700,000 copies in Taiwan alone, ranking among the top 20 record sales in Taiwan's history.
After a whole year, in the midst of thousands of calls, in December 1993, Zhang Qingfang launched an album to record and produce in Japan.
"Left and Right"
In August 1994, this album was published by Dian will be personally preferred by Uncle Wind.
"Red"
In December 1994, Dian will very carefully plan a set of two-sheet selections by Zhang Qingfang -
"Zhang Qingfang 10 Years StringIng Up Every Moment"
At the end of 1995, she released an album that was still of high standard and tried to diversify .
"In the Rainy Night"
In the mid-1990s, international record companies made a big move into the Taiwanese market, and they also adopted the form of direct acquisition of "fast and accurate" to complete the layout of the market. In 1996, the 13-year-old Dot General Records was acquired by emi EMI, a veteran British record giant.
In June of that year, Zhang Qingfang released her first full-length Hokkien album at Dianjiang.
"No one knows"
Capital has no emotion, capital only looks at interests. After EMI acquired the point general, almost all singers, whether famous or not, were dismissed first. But they gave Zhang Qingfang a great treatment, that is, to sign a contract directly with EMI's London headquarters, and she also became the only point singer that EMI retained.
Signed in October 1996, released a new record in December, called -
"Pure"
At the end of 1997, Zhang Qingfang released her second album at EMI, that is—
"Rainy Night"
Although Zhang Qingfang joined EMI, she encountered a big bottleneck at the turn of the century - record sales fell seriously. There were a lot of factors in that, the days after the company signed a bigger name (you probably know who it was), the resources were scattered; the main force of record buying began to change a lot; the newly flourishing network gave the physical record industry an almost fatal blow, and so on.
In the summer of 1998, Zhang Qingfang released her only Hokkien album at EMI.
"Oh Hey"
This album won Zhang Qingfang the Golden Melody Award for Best Dialect Female Singer.
In August 1999, Zhang Qingfang published her last album at EMI .
"Just Zhang Qingfang"
In 1999, ushering in the 15th anniversary of Zhang Qingfang's entry into the music world, EMI certainly did not give up such good resources in hand, and published a selection of albums -
"Full Flavor"
However, Uncle Wind really doesn't like it and doesn't want to recommend this version of the selected set. Its first album is the song of the Dianjiang era, the first two are "Men's Talk" and "Heavy Rainy Night" into a dance version, not different, the selection of songs is not exquisite. The second album is the EMI era, and the track is simply hard to make.
However, the sentence that Ah Fang said in the copywriting is still full of people
"As long as there is one person who listens to me sing, I am willing to sing for another 150 years"
After entering the new century, Ah Fang left EMI, signed to Miss Xiaoyan, and went to be a radio and television host, but for more than two years, the music was blank, which was incredible for a female singer who had been in the industry for 15 years and had not stopped for a year.
In 1999, during the interval between Ah Fang Records, she sang the opening song "Light Sorrow" for the TV series "The Legend of Wu Ya" cooperated by Chinese mainland and Singapore, although the TV series was very well-known at that time, but the opening song did not publish any audio-visual products.
The subtitle of the wrong song title is also a mistake for 20 years.
This theme song is the copyright of Singapore's HYPE Recording Agency, the mainland singer Sun Nan who developed in Singapore and Malaysia was the first singer, and later the ending of the mainland TV series "Red Spider 2" used Sun Nan's version.
Finally, at the beginning of 2002, Ah Fang published her new album in Fenghua -
"Waiting"
Zhang Xiaoyan invited the famous writer Zhang Manjuan to write the lyrics of the entire album, so that this album full of literary temperament is full of the charming atmosphere of the dialogue of the wise woman.
The album 'Deep and Sweet', "Dance on the Tiles", "I Take You Home", etc., are all songs worth remembering again and again.
The MV of "Dance on the Tiles" also has the performance of temperament beauty Zhang Junning who has just entered the show business circle.
In 2002, Fenghua made three albums for Zhang Qingfang, the second of which was a selection of episodes in April.
"Zhang Qingfang's Good Song Collection"
Uncle Wind personally likes this version of the collection, 16 selected songs, only three of which are from the EMI period (the title song of each album), the song arrangement is arranged by emotional context rather than timeline, and even the relatively unpopular "Snow Falls Too Soon".
If you can meet this selected second-hand, you can buy and buy at the right price.
In December 2002, Fenghua paid tribute to two veteran masters, Chen Zhiyuan and Chen Fuming, and released a cover album for Zhang Qingfang——
The Tale of Double Chen
The origin of "Double Chen Story" was that Fenghua opened the official website and opened an exclusive webpage for the two Chen teachers, and I did not expect that the fans who poured in were very enthusiastic to inquire. Zhang Xiaoyan, the widow of Fenghua founder Peng Guohua, wanted to make a different tribute album for the two Teachers Chen.
As a result, Zhang Qingfang, who is senior enough, became the lead singer of this album. There are too many works by the two masters, and only 20 songs have been carefully selected, and this song list is like the history of the music of flying saucer + Fenghua.
Arranger Chen Zhiyuan was reluctant to appear on camera, so it was always on the side and back.
It is very interesting that when Zhang Qingfang and Zheng Wenren and Lu Xiaodan came out of the first compilation album, the arrangement was Chen Zhiyuan.
In 2011, Mr. Chen Zhiyuan died, Taiwan held "If One Day I Am Not There, the Tree is In" Chen Zhiyuan Memorial Concert, big names gathered, then married to Hong Kong Zhang Qingfang appeared as the opening introductory singer, and sang "The Taste of Time".
Teacher Chen Fuming is also a master who has written many classics.
In this album, Zhang Qingfang and Zhang Yusheng, two high-pitched gods of Taiwanese pop music, finally met in music in this way.
At the beginning of 2004, Fenghua released Zhang Qingfang's most recent full-length album -
"Love Life"
This is the second cooperation between Zhang Qingfang and Teacher Zhang Manjuan.
The album is still escorted by two masters, Chen Zhiyuan and Chen Fuming, and the MV also invited the famous directors Qu Youning and Yi Zhiyan to shoot.
At the time of the production of "Emotional Life", Zhang Qingfang and Song Xueren were in love with "Emotional Life", and within a few days of the release of the album, the two were engaged.
Exactly one year later, on January 4, 2005, the two held a wedding ceremony in Hong Kong.
After marriage, Zhang Qingfang gave birth to two children in a row, and in her words, she retired without saying goodbye to the fans, and missed the commemoration of the 20th anniversary of entering the music world.
But Zhang Qingfang still likes to sing, and in 2008, when her disciple Fan Yichen held a concert, she was a guest. At that time, the storm of "Cape Seven" swept through the chinese circles, and Zhang Qingfang gave the "first time" of the comeback to this disciple.
In 2010, Zhang Qingfang, who debuted on the 25th anniversary, finally made a comeback to hold a "Do You Like My Song" concert at the Taipei Arena, and sold out as soon as the tickets were issued, so she added another performance in Kaohsiung. She donated all her singing remuneration in the name of her son to do good deeds.
Friend Liu Jialing served as a guest.
At the same time, she also released another collection of selected works in Fenghua -
"Zhang Qingfang 25th Those Your Favorite Songs"
This set of selected songs is also good, and the Young version of "I'm Still Young" has been newly added, and the refined version of "After the Passion" has been added, singing a mature and calm Ah Fang.
In 2013, Zhang Qingfang served as a guest performer at the Golden Bell Awards, singing the theme song of the famous series.
In 2014, the 25th anniversary of the Golden Melody Awards, Zhang Qingfang took the stage to pay tribute to peng Guohua, the owner who won the special contribution award, and introduced the life of Mr. Peng. Ah Fang was the last singer Mr. Peng signed before his death.
Zhang Qingfang herself is also one of the female singers with the most shortlisted for the Golden Melody Award (singing category).
Zhang Qingfang once sang a tear-jerking "I Take You Home" tribute to Mr. Peng in the "Waiting" album.
In 2015, the 30th anniversary of Zhang Qingfang's entry into the industry, she really defied all difficulties and opened a very successful "Fanghua Feast" concert in Taiwan, in order to let Mr. Song relax his permission, she also invited Mr. Song's favorite Li Zongsheng as the music director.
The Godfather of Music and the Godfather of Finance are in the same frame at the concert.
The "Fanghua Feast" concert was very successful, but behind it was also very sad, when Mr. Song was sent to the hospital for a sudden emergency illness offstage, Zhang Qingfang sang the concert and immediately rushed to the hospital to take care of it, which made people sigh that it was not easy for the giants.
In the same year, Jiang Hui held a farewell concert after the first day of Minnan, and Zhang Qingfang served as a surprise guest, which made the audience crazy. The two used to be singers of the general, and after being passed away, they were actually made up by the media, and the two had a good relationship in private.
The second sister also covered Ah Fang's famous song "No One Knows"
The marriage between Ah Fang and Mr. Song is not the so-called dream of the giants, but the all-round growth of a woman. Mr. Song is charitable and charitable, and under his encouragement, since 2012, Ah Fang has been in the hospital every year on Nurses' Day to sing for doctors and nurses, insisting on it for many years.
In 2016, Big Brother Ah Fang and Li Zongsheng sang "Every Day in Life" in Rong.
In 2017, she convened Peng Jiahui, Ren Xianqi, Jiu Kong, Xiao Huangqi and others to sing, and Gao Yiping, a famous host of Ah Fang's contemporaries, served as the emcee.
2018 is Li Zongsheng, Ren Xianqi, A-LIN, Fan Yichen and so on. You see, it is more difficult for mainland variety shows to invite Li Zongsheng than to ascend to the sky, and Ah Fang asked the eldest brother to sing an unpaid public welfare performance, but he was always on call.
In 2019, this performance became a lineup that was bigger than the New Year's Eve concert, including Li Zongsheng, Yu Chengqing, Xiao Jingteng, A-LIN, Rene Liu, Huang Ziling, Ai Yiliang, Xu Jiaying, etc., and broadcast live online.
However, last year, the biggest news was that Li Zongsheng admitted that he had married again.
Whether it is the eldest brother remarrying, Ah Fang's divorce, it is just a common thing in life, and the original change is the norm in the world.
Let's take a look at the people and things in this article "What happened to it?" “
Gui Mingyu Guijie, EMI whale swallowed her point will, well, the sister re-created the star, she entered the Huayan Records of the old department of Shanghua Records as a professional manager, and created successful artists such as Feilun Hai and S.H.E with extraordinary insight
Gui Jie's appearance and temperament are similar to S.H.E's Chen Jiahua.
In 2008, EMI Greater China was acquired and exited the Asian market, becoming Gold Gale, and in 2014, Gold Gale was acquired by Warner. EMI, which was acquired by Global, magically announced its return to the Asian market in 2014
Ah Fang's third record label, Fenghua Records, the owner Zhang Xiaoyan announced a change of ownership in August 2017, but the name Fenghua is still there.
Mr. Cao Junhong, a fellow traveler who has been living in Ah Fang's music and life for a long time, is said to have been separated because of a serious illness and unwillingness to implicate Ah Fang, and God seems to take good care of him, an old and good man, who came to the mainland to treat his illness and had spiritual sustenance, and it is said that he got much better.
At the same time, I would like to thank the fans of Ah Fang who have helped me for more than 20 years, and those fans who have helped me will "Fangyuan Baili Family", miss you!
Of course, I would like to wish Sister Ah Fang a happy birthday on August 31.
Although this article has been prepared for a long time, it still feels hasty and missing a lot, and if there are errors, please correct them.
