In 1993, a "Legend of the New White Lady" was successfully broadcast on the mainland, and for a long time afterward, it swept the streets with booming ratings momentum. As the main characters, Zhao Yazhi and Ye Tong were also in full bloom, becoming the eternal "White Lady and Xu Xian" in the hearts of countless people.
The theme song "Waiting for a Thousand Years" has also become an immortal classic, and has been passed down to this day as a catchy song. "The song was sung by Gao Shengmei, who also leapt to the throne of "singing diva" with this song.
Think back then, in Gao Shengmei's most popular period of time, many people praised her as Teresa Teng's successor. Because the two are really equal, if you think Teresa Teng's songs are more sentimental, then Gao Shengmei's songs are definitely more intentional. The momentum of the moment lifted Gao Shengmei to the top.
From her debut to today, Gao Shengmei soon released 59 solo albums, and her singles once exceeded the 600-song mark. At the same time, she also became Qiong Yao's favorite "royal" female singer. Nowadays, Gao Shengmei has long been forgotten by more and more people from the surface, gradually losing the halo of the former glorious diva. So already 51 years old, how has she been these recent years?
In 1969, Kao Shengmei was born in Kaohsiung to an ordinary aboriginal family, while her mother was a Bunun aborigine, her father proudly had the usual aboriginal ancestry. This is of course why Kao Shengmei often talks about her three-quarter aboriginal ancestry. Inside this ordinary little family, there were four children in total***. A balanced 2 girls and 2 boys, and Takasumi was the youngest in the family.
Since it is the smallest sister in the family, then the older siblings of her "tolerance" is inevitable, who let others than their own small it? The smaller the more favored such a phenomenon, in many families now believe that also exist. And as a father, the biggest headache every day, undoubtedly is how to use 2000 Taiwan dollars to support this family of six families.
"I remember very clearly when my family of six was crammed onto a broken tatami mat with a coffin in the next room. Because I often couldn't pay the rent on time, until I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, I would sleep until the middle of the night and the landlord would wake us up and kick us out of the house. It was my biggest dream as a child to grow up and help my parents make money." From this, it is believed that we can also brainstorm the difficult predicament of Gao Shengmei, who came from a humble background, when she was a child.
Despite the status quo, good fortune has finally come to this hard-working and understanding little girl, and Gao Shengmei, who has been able to sing and dance since she was a child, has clearly become the favorite of fate. Especially talented in singing, at the age of 8, Gao Shengmei achieved third place in a singing competition in Kaohsiung. As a result, every time there was a singing competition, her parents would actively let her participate. After all, it's the parents' longest dream to see their daughter become a star.
After graduating from high school, Gao Shengmei went to Taipei to join her sister, Gao Qianqian, who is a singer in a showroom. Her sister was already a "popular singer" in many of Taipei's showrooms, and she was naturally instrumental in helping her sister embark on her singing career. Until 1982, in high school, Gao Shengmei through a rigorous selection, entered the "China TV singing training class", talented people have always been a lot, and Gao Shengmei is more than a trace of luck, and grasped very tight.
Three years later, Gao accompanied a friend to a record company to attend an interview, who would have thought that such an interview in the end into the eyes of the boss is Gao Shengmei this "accompaniment"? The one who found Gao Shengmei was Lv Yanqing, the boss of Shangge Records (which later belonged to the same company as Huaxing), and it was this person who completely rewrote Gao Shengmei's destiny, and the first signing of the ten-year contract was also the first signing of Gao Shengmei into the hands of Gao Shengmei. The first ten-year contract was signed by Gao Shengmei, who was only 16 years old.
Gao Shengmei, as the first singer to be signed by Shanghua Records, will not be treated badly. Without Shanghua, there would be no diva Gao Shengmei, and without Gao Shengmei, there would be no Shanghua, and it's in this kind of mutual fulfillment that Gao Shengmei's debut album came to be. Gao Shengmei ushered in the release of her debut album, which was the Mandarin album "Fate", thus symbolically kicking off Gao Shengmei's successful debut. For every record released, she received 100,000 yuan. In those days, it was naturally more than enough to improve the family's predicament.
Of course, for Shanghua at the time, it was undoubtedly a treasure, and after reusing it, it would surely be able to make a fortune, so Shanghua was trying its best to "pave the way" for Gao Shengmei to build up a path for her to become a diva.
Gao Shengmei released two albums, "Nostalgic for the Old Songs" and "Congratulations to the Rich," in a very short period of time, and thus became the first to be recognized in Taiwan's singing industry. She made her debut in the Taiwanese singing scene, thus signaling the busy life trajectory of Gao Shengmei in the future. After many of her albums sold well, it can be said that she spent every year in the recording studio. In 1988 alone, she released six albums that sold well.
The momentum of Gao Shengmei also attracted the attention of Qiong Yao, which is the origin of the title of Gao Shengmei "Qiong Yao's Royal Singer". 1989, in Qiong Yao's drama "seagulls fly with colorful clouds", Gao Shengmei debuted the ending song "colorful clouds with seagulls". The song was later included in Gao Shengmei's album "Where Seagulls Fly, Colorful Clouds Fly", which sold 600,000 copies on the mainland. Gao Shengmei, who has thus forged an unbreakable bond with Qiong Yao, has hit the peak of her era.
But with the most popular "Wanjun" theme song, but with her lost, by the "little sister" Li Yijun inserted a foot. And this thing, I believe little is known, after all, at that time Li Yijun and Gao Shengmei or gap, the real reason we do not know, I believe that if you can choose again, Gao Shengmei is undoubtedly the best candidate. There is also the TV series "Jianghu children's love" ending song "say goodbye", I believe many people are familiar with.
The most classic of all is the TV series "The Legend of the New White Woman", in which Gao Shengmei sang the theme song "Waiting for a Thousand Years", which has become an undying classic, and the aura of the TV series aside, Gao Shengmei has been hailed as the "Queen of the Everlasting Winning Songs". Nevertheless, in 1999, Gao Shengmei decided to leave Shanghua. After all, the long years of working day and night must have been exhausting, so the 14-year contract came to an end.
And Gao Shengmei, who later joined Qiwei Records, released only one album, which ended up with mediocre sales. At that time, I had sold more than a million copies of each album, and the royalties I was supposed to collect over the past 10 years added up to tens of millions of Taiwan dollars". So in the end, Gao Shengmei's lifetime albums were forced to stop at 59, and her career hit an unprecedented low point.
Nowadays, Gao Shengmei has shifted all of her work to the mainland, and more often than not, her work is in the form of commercial performances. The fact that she has not released a single album in all these years has led to her being rumored to be an "old-fashioned" diva. The company's career has been in decline for some time now, as it has not been able to keep up with the demand for its products and services.
While she often relies on her "walkabout" to make money, her former style has disappeared. In particular, Gao Shengmei's "stiff face" has pushed the diva into the limelight, and I believe that even she herself would not have expected that she would be so hot because of this reason. However, for such a lonely evaluation, Gao Shengmei herself is very open-minded, and frankly said, "I want to support the parents in Taipei, to live the life they want, now make money is the main."
Of course, such a woman, naturally, in the love of this road is also rugged, has been rumored to be very much about her feelings of gossip, such as chef boyfriend, Chen Wei, agent Xu, etc., but in fact, already 51 years old, Gao Shengmei to still unmarried. The rumored relationship with agent Xu Mou has been 10 years long, I believe it is still very reliable.
Then again, Gao Shengmei has been around for most of her life, but she has not been able to get a happy home as she had hoped. This thing I believe that she herself is very anxious, and, every time Gao Shengmei mentioned the other half, always said that he is not a non-marriage, if there is a good fate, will also think about the matter of marriage, but the whole day alone in the room, I do not know whether indirectly accustomed to a person's life.
Summary
There is no such thing as an ageless face under the sky, and there is no such thing as a scattered splendor. In Gao Shengmei, I believe more people have seen an independent and self-reliant woman. Despite the fact that she is now only able to make money by "walking around" everywhere, and even the rumors of "face collapse", Gao Shengmei has never responded positively in front of the camera.
And then again, does it really matter what the world thinks? On the other hand, if you look at Gao Shengmei, who always insists on her own self, how can she not achieve the happiness and success in her own eyes?
