In the long history of the Chinese music scene, many representatives with strength and outstanding works have emerged.
There are many excellent songs and ** that are still widely sung today.
However, in the process of social development, there are also many excellent singers who have gradually faded out of the public's sight.
One of them is Yin Zhengyang.
He has not only won many awards such as the Golden Melody Award, the Golden Bell Award, and the Golden Tripod Award, but also won the Golden Melody Award three times in a row with three **, becoming a figure admired by the audience.
After such a brilliant life, what kind of life is he living now?
Yin Zhengyang, who was born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1961, is from Hanyang County, Hubei Province.
His father was a university professor and his mother was a secondary school Chinese teacher. Yin Zhengyang has shown an amazing talent for language since he was a child, not only with a rich vocabulary, but also with a natural sense of **.
His father expected him to devote himself to academic research, but he had an irrepressible passion for **.
In high school, Yin Zhengyang joined the campus folk song club and learned Xi guitar from his teacher. Because of his talent and intelligence, he was soon able to play and sing many classic folk songs, so his classmates praised him as the prince of folk songs.
He formed a quartet with several friends in his social circle and participated in the second Golden Rhyme Award competition.
They had to choose to enroll in the social group, as there was no high school group at the time.
With the moving chorus "Texas Yellow Rose", they won the social group of the competition, which made Yin Zhengyang not expect that he had embarked on a journey to the first road.
Yin Zhengyang entered the physics department of ** university during college, and originally planned to devote himself to his studies, but his ** talent was still discovered.
In a chorus competition, Yin Zhengyang's younger sister recommended him to judge Chen Xiaoxia.
After listening to Yin Zhengyang's singing, Chen Xiaoxia immediately arranged a solo opportunity for him on her TV show.
Chen Xiaoxia was full of praise for Yin Zhengyang's clear and pleasant voice, and after careful consideration, she recommended Yin Zhengyang to her younger brother, who works at Shangyang Records.
Sure enough, after listening to Yin Zhengyang's recording, the younger brother immediately said that he wanted to sign this radiant star.
Yin Zhengyang said that he would complete his military service first, which made Shangyang Records very disappointed.
Two years later, Yin Zhengyang was finally honorably discharged from the army and immediately joined Shangyang Records, becoming the first pop singer in the company's history.
In order to create Yin Zhengyang, Shangyang Records not only invested a lot of time and energy, but also spent a lot of money on the production of his first album**.
In 1986, Yin Zhengyang released his first **, and as a result, this record immediately caused a huge response in the market.
"Apology in the Rain" not only sold 100,000 copies, but was highly praised by ** critics, and some even praised it as one of the most beautiful male voices in Taiwan in the 80s, praising Yin Zhengyang's singing voice and songs.
Shangyang Records was ecstatic about the success of this **, and in order to enhance Yin Zhengyang's popularity, the company also specially arranged for him to participate in various competitions.
Yin Zhengyang won the Best Male Singer Award in Taiwan's three major singing competitions "Golden Bell Award", "Golden Tripod Award" and "Six Lights Award" in one fell swoop, which is really unexpected.
Yin Zhengyang, a physics student, conquered the entire music scene with his natural singing voice, and his innate ** talent was combined with hard pursuit, creating his own ** legend in the 80s.
Although Yin Zhengyang was only a rising star in the music scene at that time, after winning the glory of "Golden Melody Award Singer" three times, he completely became the ruler of the music scene.
Taiwan's pop** underwent a major change in 1987, when the Golden Bell Awards cancelled the original awards for male and female singers and replaced them with comprehensive singer awards.
With the unremitting efforts of many singers, the Golden Melody Award was born.
In 1990, the first Golden Melody Awards were officially held in this context.
At that time, Yin Zhengyang had just released his personal ** "Love Me Again", in which the title song was a cover version of Ye Jiaxiu's classic works.
Yin Zhengyang performed the song with his unique voice, which won unanimous praise from music critics and listeners.
Yin Zhengyang's ** quickly exceeded the sales of 100,000 copies, making him a popular newcomer in one fell swoop.
The popularity of this ** made Yin Zhengyang able to be shortlisted for the Best Chinese Male Singer Award with popular singers such as Fei Yuqing, Wang Jie, and Zhou Huajian.
At that time, Fei Yuqing, Zhou Huajian and Wang Jie, who were household names, made it difficult for Yin Zhengyang to stand out among them.
However, when the results of the competition were announced, Yin Zhengyang successfully defeated many strong opponents and won the title of the first Golden Melody Award Singer, starting the peak of his career.
Yin Zhengyang won the first Golden Melody Award for Singer, which was a crucial turning point in his career.
He broke away from the label of "King of Admiralty Singers" in the past, proving that he can not only perform lyrical folk songs, but also master pop music.
In that Taiwanese music scene full of king-like existence, Yin Zhengyang defeated many opponents as a dark horse and showed his strength.
This award has greatly increased Yin Zhengyang's popularity, the number of fans has surged, and the ** rate has also increased significantly. However, Yin Zhengyang is also aware of the cruel reality of the Taiwanese music scene.
He realized that strength and awards alone are not enough to make his career long, and if he wants to gain a foothold in the tide of the times, he can go further.
After receiving the Golden Melody Award Singer Trophy, Yin Zhengyang did not stop, but continued to work hard to learn Xi and experiment, trying to explore a new ** route in line with the current trend.
In 1993, when Yin Zhengyang's contract and Shangyang Records expired, he switched to Rolling Stone Records and became a colleague with Zhang Xinzhe, who was later known as the "Prince of Love Songs".
In order to show his sincere attitude towards the new company, Yin Zhengyang not only launched ** "You Make Me Lonely" with the help of Yin Wenqi and Yao Ruolong after joining the company, but also their boss Zheng Boqiu personally wrote the lyrics for the song "The Sky is Blue".
Yin Zhengyang once again broke into the finals of the Golden Melody Award Singer with this **, and will face off with powerful singers such as Zhou Huajian, Li Zongsheng, and Zhang Yusheng.
This time, Yin Zhengyang faced a stronger opponent, Zhou Huajian and Li Zongsheng have become the leaders of the new generation of Taiwanese music scene.
However, Yin Zhengyang's lyrical style interpretation of life philosophy once again deeply moved the judges, and he won the Golden Melody Award for the second time, becoming the first singer in the history of the Golden Melody Award to win the title of "King of Singers" twice.
Yin Zhengyang has won the title of Golden Melody Award singer twice, and his status in the music world has reached its peak. However, he was not complacent because of this.
He found that in the process, he was estranged from some old friends, which made him deeply feel the impermanence of the ** circle.
Yin Zhengyang's father admonished him solemnly, reminding him several times to warn him about the truth of making a big move and the things that might offend his friends if he won the award, and asked him to learn to be cautious.
In 1994, Yin Zhengyang released a cover of ** "Opera Song", he kept in mind his father's teachings and refused the company to apply for him for the Golden Melody Award that year.
Yin Zhengyang believes that cover works and original works should not be evaluated together.
However, Yin Zhengyang finally awarded himself the third Golden Melody Award Singer Trophy at the awards ceremony, achieving an unprecedented moment in the history of Taiwanese pop"Triple crown"Feat.
However, Yin Zhengyang was not happy, because it was not in line with his original intention of withdrawing from the Golden Melody Award in the first place.
He refused to participate in all celebration banquets, avoided ** interviews, and even publicly stated that "the Golden Melody Award should be awarded to more outstanding singers".
Yin Zhengyang explained with his actions what it means to be famous in the music world without being confused by fame and fortune, and how to be detached from things and not get involved in disputes.
However, despite his glorious moments, Yin Zhengyang finally chose to say goodbye to the music scene.
In 1996, with BMG's acquisition of Jushi Records, Yin Zhengyang officially withdrew from the pop music scene after releasing the last ** "How Much Should I Give You".
In his past 10 years as a singer, he has won the "Best Chinese Male Singer Award", the highest honor of the Golden Melody Awards, three times.
After Yin Zhengyang retired from the music industry, he turned to the hosting industry and partnered with his wife Li Wenming to host the cultural program "Yin Ming's Little Gathering", showing his gentle and elegant hosting style and deepening the communication with the audience.
He twice served as the chairman of the jury of the Golden Melody Awards, which had a profound impact on the fate of later singers, which happened at the beginning of the new century.
After Yin Zhengyang turned 40 years old, his asthma made a comeback, which had a negative impact on his singing status. Despite this, Yin Zhengyang did not give up because of this.
He began to dabble in drama and Buddhism to transmit positive energy.
Yin Zhengyang's ** dramas "Weishui Spring Breeze", "Intersection of Sorrow and Joy - Dreaming Back to Li Shutong" and "Young Taiwan" and other works have been widely acclaimed.
