20 14 On August 29th, Charlie was eliminated by Na Ying in the third season of The Voice of China.
But Charlie said:
Known as the greatest legacy in the history of good voice, Charlie has a crystal clear heart.
In 20 10, Charlie failed in the college entrance examination and went to Ukraine to study. He studied dentistry according to his parents' wishes. But a year later, he felt that he could not learn any more.
Four or five classes a day, each class can only understand one or two words. He recorded all the courses and went back to the dormitory to listen and translate until four or five in the morning. He worked harder than the college entrance examination, and as a result, he almost failed the course and barely passed it, with the sympathy of the teacher.
So he wants to change his major. In fact, he likes singing since he was a child, and he was the lead singer of the choir in primary school, but he never thought of music as a career. But at the moment, this is the only direction he is interested in. Although I don't know what I can do in the future, I can at least guarantee that I will learn something.
However, all studies that are not aimed at work are just hooligans in the eyes of parents, who strongly oppose Charlie. Seeing that the opposition was invalid, the parents used the killer weapon-cutting off the living expenses.
At this time, Charlie also made up his mind. When he was a black laborer, he entered the Conservatory of Music. During the period, I experienced various setbacks, such as vocal nodules, and no one studied. A year later, he finally knocked on the door of the Ukrainian Conservatory of Music, studied under the famous tenor and started the road of Bel Canto.
Cai Zhizhong famously said, "Make a choice before it's too late." At the age of four, he decided that painting was his lifelong ambition. However, many people are unlucky and don't know their life direction earlier. It is better to do as Charlie says.
20 14 "the voice of China" looked for last week in the third season and invited him to participate in the competition again.
As early as high school, Charlie sang on the voice platform under the pseudonym "Kabuki". She sang more than 500 songs and won the national online singer contest in one fell swoop. At that time, the director of the first season took a fancy to him with a good voice.
Faced with many invitations, he refused all the time. Behind the anonymous singing of the voice platform is actually a bitter past.
As a boy, he was forgotten by the voice change period. In junior high school, I watched the boys around me speak gruffly. When he opened his mouth, he shocked all beings, but his voice was still shrill. Albert Nobbs drew jeers and satires. From then on, he dared not speak in front of people, let alone sing.
Now, if he is allowed to sing on the stage, it will definitely attract overwhelming criticism, and he dare not face it at all. But under the sound bombardment of the director for more than three months. He thought that even for this director, he would come out once.
So, with anxiety, worry and even fear, he stepped onto the stage of good voice. Just as he was about to start singing, he heard an audience whisper, "Can he still sing like this?" .
When he began to sing Chyi Yu's Happy Face, the sound of nature flew to a sea of people, and the instructors turned around for him, but even they were shocked: "Man? Male! "
The shadow of childhood reappeared. After being scolded countless times, he finally understood that no matter what he did, there would be different voices.
When someone asked him:
"In the face of external pressure, some people will roll up these thorns to stab others, while others will stamp up and stab themselves. What would you do? "
Surprisingly, he said:
In the music industry, new people appear constantly every day, and even the champion of the competition is often a flash in the pan. What's more, Charlie, who stopped at the top 64 of the voice, just made his mark and soon fell into a cold silence.
20 16 years, he finally got a golden opportunity. He didn't wait for it, but caught it.
After 12 years of precipitation, the Chinese film "Big Fish Begonia" will be released soon, which is widely expected. But the impression song "Big Fish" has never been able to find a suitable person to sing. At first, the director wanted to find the diva Faye Wong, but failed. So the director thought of all the singers he knew. He thought of Charlie, but he wasn't sure. After all, Charlie was not famous at this time.
So, the director asked him to record a demo first, and maybe it would be easier to find the right singer with the demo. This seemingly insignificant little thing made him cherish it more and more. He recorded it 15 or 16 times in one breath with his broken mobile phone before picking out the most satisfactory one and sending it to him.
It was this demo that surprised the director and finally entrusted him with the song, but only gave him four days to record it. He flew to America so fast that he went to work without jet lag.
Recorded on the first day, not satisfied. The next day, not bad. It was recorded until the fourth day, and it was recorded more than 60 times before the final version was handed over. The American sound engineer in the studio was tortured to death. The first Chinese sentence he learned was "I won't record it today."
From the earliest singing on the voice platform to singing when there is a broken stereo, Charlie has sung on many stages along the way. Every stage is very important to him, and he will go all out whenever he has the chance.
Because he knows how to cherish:
When "The Big Fish Begonia" swept the whole market, the big fish Charlie also flew by the heat, and songs from anime, movies and even TV series poured in, and he became a lyric singer.
But for now, Charlie still needs a business card. The most important thing to measure a singer is to make a record.
At the beginning, his song Happy Face also dropped Gao Made Song Xiao into the pit, which made him feel dumbfounded. Miss Gao not only went into the pit, but also covered herself with a manhole cover. He wants to buy a record for Charlie. Last time, I made an album for Xiao Ke and Pu Shu more than 20 years ago.
Charlie was overjoyed at the news. He thought it would be released soon, but it took three years.
As soon as he entered the recording studio, he suffered a head-on blow and all his shortcomings were exposed at once. That day, he recorded in the video studio for five or six hours until he lost his voice. High with a sigh, turned to leave. He thought it was all over, and the album ended without recording a song.
After Gao Songxiao knew it, he comforted him: "Don't worry, take your time." Miss Gao took Charlie to listen to her voice over and over again, found problems and polished it over and over again.
The next year, when he saw that other singers were releasing albums and his own was still in labor, Charlie was a little anxious. He wants to get out quickly and stop grinding, or he will catch a cold.
But when the album finally came out, all the places had no regrets. He listened to his own voice and finally understood the dormant and waiting. When the album Deep Deep was released, he said:
In The Good Voice, Charlie once timidly asked his teachers a question: "Can I sing?"
For a long time, Charlie didn't like his voice and even longed for a normal voice. There is a lyric in the album title song "Blue Parachute".
"Young boy, such a lonely time. Suddenly jumped off the old swing and walked away. " Like him at that time, he hid in a dark corner, ashamed of his existence and didn't want to be seen.
Faced with his self-doubt, the tutors praised "Stop doubting yourself", "You sing better than girls" and "The voice is rare, spanning age and gender".
Compared with the criticism he has received for more than ten years, this is incredible. He couldn't believe it.
He was laughed at because his voice was questioned, because his voice was encouraged to be affirmed, but in the end, the music gave him a way to come out slowly.
In the process of recording the album, he didn't want to listen to his own voice at first. He turned the background music to the maximum and the sound to the minimum. But Mr. Gao turned his voice up to the maximum and told him to listen until he got used to his own voice.
The first solo concert tour was held in 20 18. On that wonderful night,
For the first time, he saw someone willing to go into the theater to see his performance;
The first time I saw all the audience present, they were all people who knew themselves;
The first time I heard a song that I thought no one listened to, they all sang it.
So many people love themselves because of his voice.
In Qi Yuan Shuo, Bai Bangni once asked, "There are many bitter people in my heart. How sweet does it take to fill them? " Xu said: "I have many bitter people in my heart, and a little sweetness can fill them." That's the case with Charlie.
He finally saw that his voice was a rare treasure, and he began to reconcile with his voice.
Charlie's good friend Liu Tong once told such a story.
There is a man who knows where his keys are, and keeps wiping them every day, in no hurry. Because he knew the opportunity would come, as long as he was prepared.
He is Charlie in this story.
As a trio in the entertainment circle, he has no looks, no height, no background, and holds bad cards, except for his unique voice. Perhaps many people think that this innate talent is innate, but Charlie said, "Talent is not to praise people for singing well, but to say that others don't work hard."
During that quiet time, many times he didn't have a job, and his friends asked him what he was going to do. Charlie said, "Cover at home".
The friend looked at him calmly and asked, "You don't seem to be in a hurry." "Don't worry, just cover it every day." He walks and sings, washes clothes and sings, and takes a shower and sings all the time.
After recording his album for three years, he has laid a solid foundation in music aesthetics. At first, he received bel canto training. Starting from the basic skills, he wants to sing the most stable high notes, the highest notes and the heaviest breath. But after reaching a peak, he began to learn to do subtraction. The sound should not be too high or too loud. It should be hidden, and all the skills should be integrated into the singing. This is the beginning of real singing.
Later, he gradually became popular and participated in many programs. In "Meeting the Little Master", he actually learned opera from the young master of Yue Opera. Before the first performance, at three or four in the morning, he was still modifying the rhythm over and over again. During that time, he could only sleep for two or three hours every day, and he was so sleepy. When I was putting on makeup, I put my head on the belly of a male assistant and forced myself to finish painting.
At the end of each performance, he will play back his singing skills, find out the shortcomings and then adjust them one by one. So now he has his own tuning as soon as he opens his mouth, and the sound quality is comparable to that of CD. Really kneeling.
His singing ability and stage performance ability are constantly growing, learning and absorbing like a sponge.
"As long as I work hard, I can." This is what Charlie often says.
Someone once asked Charlie if he was afraid of being stereotyped as a lyrical singer, but Charlie said that he was really good at lyricism, and he did it first and then slowly broke through. In fact, he has been trying new music styles all these years.
20 18, Bel Canto program "Sound Into People's Heart" was launched. Charlie, who is only 1.6 1, seems to have suddenly come to Avatar. Most of the other contestants are professional singers who graduated from the Conservatory of Music, with a height of 1.8 meters and outstanding looks.
Faced with many masters, he fought back and even sang the episode "Lonely Shepherd" of "The Sound of Music" with Yodel.
At that moment, he became a one-man show. One minute it's a tired, panting farmer, one minute it's a woman with a baby in her arms, and the next minute it's a drinker choked by wine. Watching his vivid performance and listening to his lovely voice, the judges seemed to be back to childhood, shaking their heads with the music, with surprisingly consistent expressions and smiles.
He was completely stretched out on the stage and exuded confidence. Although his height is still only 1.6 meters, his aura is already 2.8 meters at this time.
On 20 19, our song went online, and Charlie met the veteran singer Hacken Lee. One is old and the other is young, and there is a fierce spark. A rotten "Wolf of Disco" was played with new tricks by them.
When you wear sunglasses, you become a wolf in a second, jump into a disco, and burst into the audience. The lyrics sang "Go left, draw a dragon with me, draw a rainbow on your right …" They swung to the audience step by step, and all the players stood up, twisting their hips and shaking their heads. The scene turned into a music party.
"Singer 2020" is full of stars, and Hua Chenyu, Mao Bu, Jam Hsiao and others appeared one after another, but Charlie came out of the jungle like a dark horse. A masterpiece "Dancing for Dara" made him famous in World War I, with the broadcast volume exceeding 1 100 million.
In this song, he not only decorated many angles by himself, but also switched back and forth between singing, bel canto and coloratura, classical singing and pop singing, seamlessly connecting, taking you into the magical world of music. Some people even think that this is not human singing at all, but Ai machine singing.
From classical music to pop songs, from network brainwashing songs to China classic songs, from Chinese style to European and American style, Charlie has too many possibilities.
Charlie, who grew up listening to Teresa Teng's songs, wanted to be such a singer, but he didn't know what a lucky singer he was until he experienced the ups and downs of life. As long as he can keep singing, it is his greatest dream.
He said:
"Just go on like this. Seriously, I don't ask much. " .
It turns out that a person's life can only be summarized in nine words: one person, one road, one life.
He always has a clear understanding of himself.
Maybe I don't know how high he can fly, but he can certainly fly far.
