In 1986, 15-year-old Han Hong ran all over Beijing's 11 art troupes to apply for the examination, but without exception, he was ruthlessly eliminated because of his general appearance, lost, helpless, and ashamed. At the lowest point in her life, fortunately, a sister took her in, gave her a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and gave her the opportunity to sing on stage.
At that time, in the primitive accumulation period of the mainland music scene, there was no emperor and queen, and this sister, as the most eye-catching hope star in the music scene at that time, seemed to have a superstar atmosphere.
This kindness is unforgettable, and after becoming famous, Han Hong has invited this sister countless times to participate in her concerts. In the depths of love, he knelt down affectionately, and couldn't suppress his respect, and Na Ying, who was also a guest, was stunned.
This sister is Mao Amin who appeared on the Spring Festival Gala in 9, after the first day of Chinese popularity in the 80s and 90s. Thirty-seven years later, they are standing on the same stage again. Han Hong lost dozens of pounds, and Mao Amin also went through vicissitudes to 60 years old. Her mind became peaceful and interesting, and those legends and sufferings seemed to have happened in a previous life.
Mao Amin, who was born in 1963, is the youngest in the family, and her parents and two older brothers dot on her. A family of five is crammed into a 20-square-meter building. When he was very young, Mao Amin showed an unusual singing talent, and his family began to spare no effort to cultivate it.
She especially likes the model singing on the radio, and she will hum along when she hears the accompanimentThe bathroom of the public tube building was used as a recording studio by her, and she was afraid of disturbing the neighbors, so she locked the door locks and window sills tightly, and then practiced singing. With a special good voice, he was sent all the way to key junior high and high schools, but at the first step of applying for the ** college, he was limited by his household registration and was forever blocked from the door.
In 1981, 18-year-old Mao Amin sat on the back seat of his father's bicycle, full of worries about where to go. Two years later, her father's pleas finally allowed her to work as a temporary electrician at a chemical plant in Shanghai. The Chemical Industry Bureau wanted to hold a theatrical performance, and the factory leaders were struggling with candidates, so Mao Amin had the courage to say "I can", and then he was arrested and signed up for the performance as a regular worker. The black and white screen in the early 80s was a projection of Japanese dramas, and the broadcast of "Blood Suspicion" pushed this Japanese film and television wave to the peak, accompanied by the theme song sung by the heroine Yamaguchi Momoe swept the country.
The kind of cold beauty that Yamaguchi Baihui originally gave to the song was used by Mao Amin to precipitate a new calm temperament, which complemented the main theme of the party and shone brightly. Once Mao Amin participated in an event and performed on the same stage with the China Railway Art Troupe, Master Hou Yaowen, who was a member of the troupe at the time, accidentally heard Mao Amin singing, and was shocked by a thin little girl, how could she sing so well. He called Mao Amin to his side, and first joked that he would definitely be able to learn cross talk with himself with this singing skill, and then suggested that Mao Amin apply for the ** college or art troupe with a straight face.
The nobleman's advice made Mao Amin pause. Finally, in 1985, he got his wish and was admitted to the front-line song and dance troupe of the Nanjing Military Region, and with his singing strength, he occupied the solo singing in the troupe when he first arrived. In 1986, following the good momentum, ** "Lost Girl" was released, the title song of the same name with the first bright cry, which seems to be asking the girl to go to **, and the vitality and enthusiasm in the actual song show the surging confidence to give a positive answer.
In the same year, Mao Amin was selected by the song and dance troupe to participate in the National Youth Song Competition, and met his mentor Gu Jianfen. Gu Jianfen took the initiative to go to the Nanjing Military Region to take Mao Amin with him, and this time happened to invite China to participate in the Belgrade International ** Festival for the first time, and Gu Jianfen, who was consulted by the Ministry of Culture, did not hesitate to register for Mao Amin, who was not officially ** at that time.
From costumes to makeup, they are all arranged by the music masters for the pawns. A treasured song "The Affection of Green Leaves to the Roots", Mao Amin's voice, just right touched the teacher's heart, from rehearsal to competition, every time he sang, it aroused Gu Jianfen's tears and sprinkled them to a foreign country.
is another third place, she became the first Chinese singer to win an award in the international ** competition, the news came out, not only the ** world sensation, many mainstream ** front pages, and even headlines are vying to celebrate the report. The glory of bringing glory to the country will not be immediately praised on the altar, but it will also gain fame and become a potential singer who can make an impression on fans. Let Mao Amin evaluate her 24-year-old self, she always likes to describe it as a "lucky guy". Adventures that ordinary people can almost imagine, and unattainable opportunities, rush to wave to her.
Regarding the discussion of the Spring Festival Gala, the selection of classic songs in previous editions is always the most eye-catching, and those who are interested find that no matter how harsh the selection is, "Missing" must be among them. At the end of 1987, his mentor Gu Jianfen and grandmaster Qiao Yu wrote "Missing", which Mao Amin sang and was recommended by the "noble" Hou Yaowen to participate in the selection of the 88 Spring Festival Gala. Director Deng Zaijun was shocked when he heard this, and immediately personally invited the Nanjing Military Region to rehearse, and treated Mao Amin with the attitude of the most popular Hong Kong and Taiwan singers at that time, and taught her how to perform on the best CCTV stage in the country.
Even if Deng Zaijun was meticulous, he never thought that she didn't prepare a performance costume, and when it was time for the official performance, Mao Amin, who was embarrassed to open his mouth, was forced to go to a vegetable market, pick a cardigan with puff sleeves for 28 yuan and go to the Spring Festival Gala. Wearing a yellow cardigan with tucked shoulders, with a whimsical model step, the tall Mao Amin walked towards people's pupils, and the beautiful trills in the song are a magic stroke, drawing colorful wings, like butterflies flying into the window of the soul. On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the people of the whole country remembered the name Mao Amin.
In order to explore the commercial film model, Mao Amin used the halo of the most well-known female singer in that conservative era to boldly appear on the edge of taboo themes such as "Crazy Singer", and gave a passionate drama that surprised fans.
The catchy melody of "Little Railway Station" and "Red Rose" in the film, simple and bright lyrics and songs, combined with her deliberate and relaxed singing, can be regarded as a good attempt by Mao Amin for commercial songs.
In terms of commercial performances, Mao Amin is even more impressive, "China ** Daily" has published a breakdown of singers' appearance fees, and she has been unbeatable all the way. The rolling of financial resources made Mao Amin immersed in grand business ideas, never thinking that the shadow of the crisis had shrouded. In 1989, a leading company in Harbin published a report, which instantly caused a sensation across the country. Awakened from her dream, she seemed to have no master, although she had always had financial intentions and motivations, but she never thought of obtaining it by illegal means.
It's no wonder that he doesn't know much about taxes, and he trusts others too much, naively thinking that a verbal agreement with the organizer can make the other party abide by the package ticket for paying the tax bill. Her boyfriend Chen Yong absconded with the performance money, which made the situation even worse, she was repatriated to Nanjing, first demoted two levels in a row, and then sentenced to half a year of confinement, spending every day in a small black house to review and inspect.
In her own words, it was "from heaven to hell", and the situation made her desperate, she prepared a whole bottle of sleeping pills, recalling: "I am very afraid of pain, I want to do stupid things, I will not choose the most painful way." "The girl who was crying in the middle of the night in the pouring rain and holding sleeping pills fortunately had a premonition from Shanghai overnight and stopped the tragedy with a quick knock on the door. The raging rain and the raging waterlogging seemed to have stopped roaring that night, quietly listening to the misery of the father and daughter.
For two years, Mao Amin was struggling at a low point in his life, and his father, who washed his face with tears, was almost blind due to retinal detachment;The agent's boyfriend abandoned her, swept away the only remaining Xiali car and the remaining savings belongings, and left the country. wrote a letter to the song and dance troupe, praying to participate in the performance, although he was allowed to receive it, his treatment plummeted: living in a dilapidated tube building, going to the most remote areas to condolence performances, **Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, repeatedly unaccustomed to high fever and vomiting, but still forced to sing loudly. Throw yourself into the dust, to experience the warmth and coldness of the world, the vicissitudes of the world, the road to life, rather than lamenting that the green years have passed, it is better to live to death.
In 1990, a drama series "Desire" caused huge repercussions inside and outside the Great Wall.
Tracing back to that era of social turmoil, trauma literature and art are like a sharp blade, revealing the scars that cannot bear to face. "The whole country mourns Liu Huifang, and everyone sighs for Song Dacheng", the joys and sorrows of the characters in the play evoke the bitter memories of a generation.
Mao Amin, who was born in the 60s, couldn't feel the vicissitudes of life, but the unfortunate fate made her empathize with that kind of suffering. Mao Amin regained the support of the audience, and the unparalleled influence of the song led to the publication of more than 30 versions of tapes by major audiovisual publishing houses overnight.
This time, Mao Amin got not only the praise of the world, but also the favor of the film and television industry, which made the theme invitations come one after another. After the filming of "The Story of the Editorial Department" created by Beijing TV, director Zhao Baogang named Mao Amin to record the ending song "Love Once", Feng Xiaogang, who was the planner at the time, heard that she was coming, and he must have recommended himself to fill in the lyrics of the song.
The success of the song made Zhao Baogang firmly remember that this female singer was in stock, and he struck while the iron was hot, and hurriedly brought his other big drama "Imperial City Roots" at the same time, and asked Mao Amin to brew the first song of the film.
The success of the urban drama test made the orthodox historical drama choreographers and directors also begin to be convinced that Mao Amin is the representative they are looking for.
In the early 90s, the historical mythological drama "Fengshen Bang" was broadcast, as the earliest film and television co-production, the opening song "The Legend of God" appeared in two versions at the same time, sung by Mao Amin and Alan Tam respectively. Jiang Ziya's fairy wind bones;Daji's seduction, through Alan Tam's ethereal singing, substitutes the audience into the mysterious and ethereal ancient era. Mao Amin's interpretation will bring the unique recklessness and majestic atmosphere of the era to the face, and the king has no way;Ji Fa Zhengde, in the magical war of Fengming Qishan, collided fiercely, adding to the grand color of oriental magic.
A few stars twinkled in the sky of history, and a heroic spirit in the world was galloping vertically and horizontally", a heroic righteousness, an aria and emotion, a perfect combination of history and humanities and singing literacy. "The Shadow of the Fence Wall" and "Not Living in Vain" are from the rural drama "Fence, ** Ancient Boat, Woman and Net", and the same naming method gives the drama the same proposition, and is called the second part of the rural fate trilogy.
Throughout the 90s, Mao Amin was the most extensive and deep phenomenal existence in the music scene.
Run Run Shaw, the originator of Hong Kong film and television, personally took care of inviting Mao Amin when he was preparing for the 25th anniversary celebration of TVB. It's a star-studded celebration. Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Liming, Anita Mui and other kings and queens all attended the singing.
When the performance was in the early hours of the morning, there was a sudden panic backstage, and a staff member hurriedly found Mao Amin and said to her: "Someone used 1 million yuan to order you to sing a song." Mao Amin came to the stage, and the host Wang Mingquan excitedly introduced: "We have invited the most famous singer in China!."Later, I learned that it was the legendary Zeng Xianzi who ordered the song, and he spent a lot of money, which shows his preference for Mao Amin's singing. The classic "Mother in the Candlelight" was written by high school student Li Chunli in one go based on his experience with his mother, and the teacher Gu Jianfen liked it very much, composed the music and sang it to Mao Amin.
Gu Jianfen remembered that when Mao Amin sang this song on stage, he choked up several times and couldn't help himself. Although it can resonate with the artistic conception of the song, it was not until the death of his mother many years later that Mao Amin completely understood the song. At that time, she received the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala again, Mao Amin was calm in her heart, and she did not use the song that had been sung for several years. Instead, he used a song "The Great Sky" to express his thoughts about his mother. Applause rang out, paying tribute to Mao Amin on the stage.
The eyes of the Spring Festival Gala seem to have always been in love with Mao Amin in this way, "It's All a Love", "Wind" and "Happiness", song by song, representing the most brilliant Spring Festival Gala era. The impression of Cao Kefan, the host master of Shanghai: "She is a big person, and she is not very clear about the discrimination of people, in her opinion, everyone is quite good, but as a result, 'Urimari' is very tired."
It is not difficult to explain why Mao Amin suffered a second winter, and no one thought that she would regain her head on tax issues. In this regard, Mao Amin has been silent, only one Lu Yu interview revealed his heart: she is the most strict on tax issues on weekdays, but she is too kind, others can say it, yes, yes, in the end, it still makes people take advantage of the loophole. This year, Mao Amin escaped from the pressure of ** and went away to a foreign country, she brought a few sets of Shanghai burlesque tapes, and looked at the tapes together when she was mixed with foreigners, laughed after reading it, and cried after laughing.
In 2000, she paid a fine of 810,000 yuan, and took the initiative to pay 570,000 yuan in taxes for the organizer and went home with a tax payment certificate. She said: "The moment the plane landed, I was very emotional." What exactly is emotional, maybe it is lucky, maybe it is nostalgia, but the most is definitely open-mindedness after the vicissitudes of life.
Marriage, childbirth, life, everything is developing in the direction of returning to the basics, Mao Amin no longer puts all her strength into the recording and puts it on the stage, for her, in the second half of her life, her husband and children are even more important than **. Of course, he will not hold the shelf of the "old artist" and sing "Acacia" with Mao Buyi, bringing up the sincerity of the younger generations, which is quietly reflected in the quiet descending tone, just like the warmth of Han Hong at the beginning. Of course, it will also be a great appearance, singing "I Love the Blue Sky of the Motherland" for "Chinese Captain", the dream of a generation, the belief of a generation, can still find a home from the singing. Every time her voice appears, it seems to have crossed one era after another, making people feel quiet and nostalgic, and feel infinite power.
