After taking the tape recorder home, my father went to town on purpose and bought a tape after careful selection.

That tape contains a dozen of the most popular songs at that time. There are two songs that my father and I like best.

There are two "nine" characters in the names of the two songs, namely "Wine on September 9th" and "Daughter Red on September 9th".

My father likes these two songs very much and can't put them down. Even when doing farm work in the field, I hum a few words from time to time.

I didn't know that the singers of these two songs were Chen Shaohua until I grew up.

Chen Shaohua is a man with Jianghu spirit. How did he become popular? Why did he suddenly disappear after a few years of fame?

0 1

1974, Chen Shaohua was born in Xinchang, Zhejiang. His father is a Kunqu opera actor.

Growing up in an artistic family, he loved singing since he was a child. His singing was very tasty and deeply loved by his friends.

When he came of age in Chen Shaohua, all children his age wanted to join the army. Influenced by the environment and times, Chen Shaohua joined the army with youthful breath and became a soldier.

Brave and enterprising, he found a place in the army, studied Sanda and became a champion of Sanda. At that time, with a kung fu, he would never have thought that he would "abandon martial arts and become a popular singer."

A few years later, Chen Shaohua changed his job and returned to the local area. In order to make his life leap forward, he came to Shenzhen from Zhejiang with great hope, and took refuge in his good brother who developed there.

Chen Shaohua feels the development of the special zone, like a backward country bumpkin. At the same time, he really felt the heroism of the rich in his brother.

At that time, catching up with the tide of development in Shenzhen, he suddenly felt that he had a martial arts.

Fortunately, he still likes singing, and every time he sings, he can render people around him.

His singing moved his brother.

In order to let Chen Shaohua's singing wander in the music world, my brother gave him a cutting fee of 200,000 yuan.

Later, Chen Shaohua came to Guangzhou with great enthusiasm, while opening a bar and looking for a way out.

Usually, his main energy is focused on managing the bar business. From morning till night, when he is physically and mentally exhausted, he will call a few friends, eat, drink and sing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he started singing, he was stunned.

When his friends applauded him, he suggested that he could write a song of his own.

Excited by his friends, Chen Shaohua is very proud. He felt that he was not worse than those singers on TV, so he made up his mind to make a song.

For this song, Chen Shaohua searched everywhere and finally found the music producer Zhu Derong.

After Chen Shaohua explained his purpose, Zhu Derong tailored a song for him.

Love songs were popular at that time, and a series of mainland love songs, such as The Sound of the Waves Still, The Tracker's Love, Heart Will Walk with Love, were deeply loved by the public.

Zhu Derong felt that it was difficult for Chen Shaohua, a newcomer, to have room for development in the current environment where love songs were flying all over the sky. It's better to write a homesick song than to go sideways with the sword.

After the two communicated, Chen Shu was invited to write lyrics.

In this way, a song "Wine on September 9th" was born.

When this song was made, Zhu Derong asked Chen Shaohua for 1.8 million in one bite.

Generally, newcomers will hesitate when they meet such a lion. After all, in the early 1990s, 6.5438+0.8 million was not a small sum. And to make a MV, you don't need that much to get it all done.

But because Chen Shaohua loves music so much, he doesn't think too much at all. He can give it to others if they want it. Besides, Chen Shaohua didn't expect that he would be famous for this song.

Surprisingly, in the era of relative lack of spiritual food, this song with the theme of "drinking to drown my sorrows" aroused people's feelings as soon as it came out, and it didn't take long to spread all over the country.

Zhu Derong also made himself like Chen Shaohua. Before this song, he was unknown. After this song, he became famous and accepted an exclusive interview with a CCTV program.

To what extent was Chen Shaohua at that time? Many people go to the video store to buy tapes and bring his songs when they call the roll. At present, many people over 30 should have heard this song.

This year, Chen Shaohua was only 20 years old.

After this song became popular, it brought out a big wave of songs of the same type, such as 1997' s stray song, 1999' s homecoming and so on. All of them continued the style of Song wine on September 9.

Chen Shaohua also strikes while the iron is hot. After tasting the sweetness of the first song, he then released the second song, 1999 Daughter Red.

In this song, which is still full of rural flavor, the songwriter boldly added the elements of love songs, and Chen Shaohua's melancholy and vivid singing, which received rave reviews as soon as it came out.

With this song, Chen Shaohua's career has leapt to a higher level and steadily entered the ranks of first-line singers.

1997, he also boarded the CCTV Spring Festival Evening and sang his songs on this biggest stage.

However, after that, He, who could have shined in the music world, unexpectedly disappeared.

Where did he go and what did he experience?

Singers who became popular in the 1990s, even if not as good as Na Ying and Tian Zhen, should not be much worse. But after Chen Shaohua became popular, he was forgotten in a few years. Many people may know the names of his two songs, but they don't know who the singers are.

All this is related to an experience in Chen Shaohua.

This is an unforgettable experience that he will never forget.

1998, after a performance, a dancer asked Chen Shaohua for his autograph.

It is true that "there are many red people", and his fall is also related to this.

Chen Shaohua, which was popular at that time, was a bit floating.

He stands at the commanding height of the music industry and worships his fans. If someone wants to sign an autograph, he will sign one when he is happy. When he is unhappy, no one will lose face, even his dancer.

His arrogance was beyond the endurance of the rejected dancer.

When Chen Shaohua went back to her room to have a rest, the dancer brought a group of people.

They were aggressive with long knives in their hands. When they saw Chen Shaohua, they didn't say much, but directly attacked him with a round hand.

Chen Shaohua didn't know how to practice, and avoided the key to fighting with others. Finally, he failed to avoid a knife and was cut in the chin.

Chen Shaohua bleeding, the gang a look bad, dispersed in a hubbub in panic.

After that, Chen Shaohua was taken to the hospital, and the doctor told him that his face was badly injured and his disfigurement was certain.

This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to a singer who often participates in performances.

Since then, he has been running around to save face. For this reason, his daughter was separated. Even after several repairs, a scar about 8 cm long remained on his face forever.

That scar, like a gloomy sadness, reminds him all the time.

Until many years later, the man who cut him was caught. He has experienced many ups and downs, and his mind is mature, so he can't afford to hate dancers. He even dropped the charges against the murderer.

Then he adjusted himself and made a comeback with a new song. But the ever-changing music scene has long lost its foothold.

At that time, most people were listening to Jay Chou, Wang Leehom and JJ Lin. There are also singers from Dao Lang, Yu Quan, Shui Mu Nianhua, Sun Nan and Sha Baoliang in the Mainland. Chen Shaohua's time is long gone.

At the same time, his new song "Don't say my tears, you don't care" also went to court because of copyright issues. His comeback is extremely uneven.

He was unhappy in the music world, so Chen Shaohua was unhappy and went astray.

For a time, negative news about him was overwhelming.

Since then, Chen Shaohua has gradually faded out of people's sight.

His songs are sung occasionally, but almost everything about him is forgotten.

Encouraged by his wife, Chen Shaohua, who retired from the inner circle, began to move to business.

In fact, there are not a few artists who have switched from the entertainment circle to the business circle.

At that time, Chen was difficult to play because of her role in Lin Daiyu. With the fire of Princess Huanzhu, Zhou Jie, who is tired of intrigue in the entertainment circle; Edison Chen, who had to retire after the photo scandal, had a similar experience.

Chen Shaohua is more business-minded and has become a business owner. His brand has risen rapidly all over the world.

Perhaps, only those who put music into their souls will have such persistence.

In recent years, Chen Shaohua has participated in Shang Yan as a singer from time to time.

At that moment, his glory disappeared. But even if the stage is simple, he can sing calmly and sing his classic songs.

Even the audience, I'm afraid there are not many, can call out his name. But the audience immersed in his singing still heard his vicissitudes. There is a Jianghu story about him.

He also registered his own account on the live broadcast platform and accumulated hundreds of thousands of fans with his past popularity.

In those videos, besides the interaction between him and his son, you can also vaguely see the shadow of his active music scene.

Just behind the filter, his sparse hair and fine wrinkles on his face can easily betray his age.

At that time, he floated gently, and the traces left on his face were discernible.

That scar will eventually fade and be forgotten with the passage of time. Perhaps, forgotten together, there is his glory in the music world.

Conclusion:

Looking at Chen Shaohua's star road, the beginning is the peak. Things are impermanent, easy to become popular, and easy to fall off the altar if you are not careful. However, it is difficult to return to the altar after falling.

It can be seen that only by keeping a low profile can a star go well and become popular all the way.
