Those years, Fan Fan's songs were simply magical to me.
The first time I listened to Fan Fan's songs was in junior high school. I didn't have a lot of pocket money, so I liked to go to bookstores and video stores. The street has a Bailing audio-visual store, although the store is not large, is indeed the heart of the students, every now and then always have to go there to take a look at, stroll around, see who's new album recently came out, what are the new songs you can listen to, and which of those stars in the new album put a good-looking picture ...... do not necessarily buy, but must go to learn about the inevitable, and the most important thing is that you can not buy, but you can not buy. Particularly diligent. Although to go to the video store to take a detour home, we still often as soon as school is over straight away.
One day, in the audio-visual hall of the tape rack top frame to see a box cover particularly good-looking album, called "the first dream". The girl on the album cover was gently holding her cheeks and smiling brightly, slightly youthful, the blurred silhouette of a red flower swaying in the wind, the whole picture was very clean. At the time, I felt that I could feel the fresh wind and the welcoming aroma through the transparent plastic case of the tape.
Compared with other singers at the time, such as Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai, Fish Leong, SHE, etc., she is almost nothing special, neither pretending to be serious, nor weird hunting, just like a random life photo, afternoon sunshine is just right, the weather is just right, comfortable enough for people to want to hum a song, that's all. The more you look at it, the better it looks.
The singer's name is also in the middle of the road, Fan Weiqi. Ordinary like the next class never talked to, low-key down-to-earth upwardly mobile female classmates.
However, her songs are so addictive. At that time, she had not yet released a few albums, the first one is "true beauty" - the name is not avant-garde enough, and in the entertainment industry scrambling to surprise even seem a bit outdated, but so the sky is not afraid to go on the shelves, with a beautiful and calm face, not carefully look at it is very difficult to be singled out to see a glance.
The song is also in this style, at first listen to nothing special, the second time, well, quite good. Sequence looped a few times, still want to listen to it, listen to it every day, familiar can not be more familiar, hear the first half of the sentence can accurately sing the second half of the sentence, back to the past.
She used her own voice and singing style, rubbing the perceptions gained from life into her songs, accompanying the girls in front of the jukebox (and reportedly the boys as well), telling them that life is supposed to be open-minded, and that it is possible to self-forgive and release, and that it is important to allow for imperfections in oneself and in others.......
The girls in her songs See the beautiful look of love, see the lovers cherish and know, also see the girlfriends whisper and encourage each other, see after the loss of love or quarrel with lovers, they share the joy and bitterness together. As well as love and friendship, there are also dreams in life that can be approached little by little. She said life is LOVE AND PEACE, to make everyone around you live happily, and to be happy and at peace with who you were meant to be.
Her songs, the contents of which are based on love and pain in daily life, she romantically believes that the fairy tale in the song describes the life so real that it is so moving.
Originally disturbing emotions can be expressed
When I was in my teens, I was stuck in a period of confusion about interpersonal activities for a long time, and was even a little depressed for a while. Perhaps because of a demanding mother, there was a long period of time when I was under pressure to put on what I thought was a perfect image of myself to those around me, and on the other hand I knew very well in my heart that I was actually pretending very hard, and that my real self was not like this at all. I don't know how to express myself even though I'm not in a good state, and I don't want to cause trouble for others (I totally take listening to each other in friendship as trouble), so I just keep smothering all my emotions, and every time I come back home from school, I'm very grumpy, irritable, and cryful.
In hindsight, the doubts and denials I had about myself at the time were really superfluous. I'm not sure if I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, and I'm not a good person.
Thankfully, there was a Van Van song.
"Waited for you for three hours, found you took her for a ride, the blue sky blew up a typhoon ......" This is Fan Weiqi's own lyrics of "Re-contact", playful and honest, sang the inane hatred of being dumped by an unreliable lover, exasperated to the point that "The more I think about your lies, the more I vomit, to take revenge", and finally her decision is "I'm sorry, count me wrong, I knew that you are not suitable for me", the lyrics are simple and uncomplicated, but such lyrics with a bright and cheerful melody coupled with her vocals, inexplicably make people The lyrics are simple and unassuming, but with the bright and cheerful melody and her singing voice, it somehow makes people feel very free and happy. It's a great way to express your emotions, and it's so lovely.
This is Fan Weiqi's philosophy of life. She said she is "Fan Fan's generation", is always a dark cloud on top of the head, than the top is not enough than the bottom is more than enough, like to lose their temper of the small people, is and boyfriend after a fight with the capricious dumping pot, said "don't ask me about the future, I don't have any plan", angrily warned each other "Don't mess with me" savage woman ("I am what I am").
She and the black man's love life is almost all exposed in the media lights, the face of the reporter's questioning, all the embarrassing things confessed frankly, but also with the sisterhood get together to say bad things about Chen Jianzhou, and even on the wedding day, the joint Bang Bang Tang brothers make hard planning to trick Chen Jianzhou. She, like everyone else, is experiencing big and small downfalls in her life, yet she is not at all unhappy about any of it.
It's called character determines life.
People who like Fan Fan are just like her songs, then love the program she hosted, and ultimately by her big grin, often confused, blunt and easy-going personality firmly powder.
It was this character that took her on a journey to a fairytale life.
The right way to open love and bromance
The showbiz world has always been a messy one, with big and small news every day, reporting on celebrity scandals and gossip, and mostly reporting the bad news.
But Fan Weiqi has almost zero scandals. This has nothing to do with her kindness and understanding of others. Zhang Huimei said, in the seven fairy sisterhood, Fan Fan almost never quarrel with any of the sisters, she is always soft. There were times when the sisters whined and complained together and said bad things about others, and Fan Fan would respond, but her responses were always more neutral. Sisters like her, media reporters like her, and with her boyfriend unchanged for more than a decade, it's hard for gossip to find her.
In love, Fan Weiqi has sung about honesty more than once. She sang in the "right and wrong", "a true heart but only towards you, when can I face myself honestly"; in the "love of the first century", "do not do your what good angel perfect suspicious, would rather a little blemish to be more real"; in the "our Memorial Day"; in "Our Memorial Day", "In honor of our beginning to be honest with ourselves, willing to give up our pride for the one we love so much"; and in "What If", "If you're honest because of me". Honesty is the only way to trust, and human relationships are only complete when they are based on trust.
Honesty in love is equally true among girlfriends. She consoled the love of girlfriends, not to say to them, "the past, everything will be good" this kind of bias to avoid the current rhetoric, but directly said, when love is too tired dream is too chaotic you can not afford, then can not pretend to be courageous, cry a lot. The best friend is "even if I am busy in love, put you frozen ice, you will not hate me, just scold me a few words"; is "when I always scold him but can not get away from him, over and over again also never laugh at me" people.
Compared to today's popular "plastic sisterhood", Fan Weiqi and big and small S's relationship is so good that people envy. The small s has been very proud and proud to say, Fan Fan and the two of them together when the joy, there are some black people have never felt, only she and big s can really understand Fan Weiqi's heart. This statement is probably about the fact that they often get together to badmouth black people, but it's enough to prove that they talk about everything between them and are more than happy to be there for each other when they need it the most.
There's a saying that it's enough to have one confidant in life. But she was lucky to get a lot of confidants, in addition to the size of the s, and Zhang Huimei, Fish Leong, Rene Liu, Ella Chen Jiahua ...... friends mention Fan Fan, full of like almost overflowing screen, small S even for Fan Weiqi open mother group did not shout her gas for a long time - -for being one of the most important women in each other's lives. In the hard to make true friends in the entertainment industry, she is proud to say: you said (can not make true friends) this situation did not happen to me.
This is an ordinary girl who can meet good friends anywhere. Zhang Huimei once said a past story between her and Fan Weiqi: during her studies in Boston, Fan Weiqi had flown thousands of miles to see her. Boston is cold as hell, Fan Fan from the west coast of the United States to fly to the east coast, to see the A-Mei crazy run up to hug her, the life is in the trough of Zhang Huimei moved to mention tears. A-mei said, "It was like seeing a family member." This memory, Fan Weiqi this explanation: at that time is with small S in New York skiing, skiing to half remembered A-mei in Boston, must be a person very lonely, so I want to go to accompany her, this feeling is so firm, she felt that she must go.
If you have a good friend like Fan Weiqi, you must be very happy.
A girl's life is never more than love
Fan's every album is more than just warm love songs. In other words, love is important, but it's never all there is. She sings about life's philosophies, solace for friends, dreams she's worked for, childhood memories, and a deep love for the world.
For example, "The Little Prince", "Little White Boat", "If I Had an Angel Wand", "Peace Bird" and "Angel Wings" are full of childish little fantasies between the melodies, through which she tells the listener not to discard the simple beauty of childhood just because she has grown up, that there is always a little child living inside her, that she is always upwardly mobile, and that she always gives herself more possibilities, in order not to get caught up in the mundane things. This is the only way to keep yourself from being caught up in the mundane, and to maintain continuous vitality and enthusiasm for life. Just like the song "Little White Boat", I wish that when I grow up and taste the sweet and sour, I will still not be easily afraid of burnout, and "laugh happily" like in my childhood.
In addition to these fairy tale songs, other songs are also more or less childish and cute. For example, in "Little Kisses", "I fantasize about sunny day dolls because of you, and drive the dark clouds to other places"; in "I think I", "Happiness is a big lighthouse, the world won't be lit up without you, and you'll surely give me the strength to do it again"; and in "One by One", "A little bit of a drop" is a song about the world's most beautiful city, and the world's most beautiful city. The playful lyrics and her warm voice in "One by One" and "Love is like the city of Rome built one day at a time" are really healing. It's no wonder that some people say that hearing Fan's songs overheard can instantly brighten up their minds.
There are too many things in life that one has to heal oneself, and in the face of those things that are not as good as they should be, Fan demonstrates a positive attitude: not to pretend to be strong, but to face up to the emotions, and to try to keep things interesting even after releasing them slowly, and to keep the love for the relationship, for the loved ones, and for life. A career or a dream should be closely related to life, an important part of it, not separate from it.
She remembers her departed elderly grandma in "Peaceful Bird" and misses her wrinkles and corners of her mouth; she describes her friend's dying state of mind in "No Sleep" and conveys for him her last fondness for the world; and she sings about her love of ordinary, common, but passionate life in "Fan Fan Zhi Zi Zai". The song "Initial Dream", which is well known to most literati and requires huge lung capacity and stamina to finish, she can sing it twice without plugging in from beginning to end, all in one go. Fans at the show were really impressed by the phrase "work hard" in the lyrics "know how hard you can work before you can go far away".
The only thing that can make a person a success is a dream. The same is true for girls, or rather, even more so.
The only thing that accomplishes oneself is to have lived.
That's why, when she was in danger of giving birth, she could frankly prepare herself, and in case the doctor asked her to save the child or the adult, she would firmly choose to save the child, she said, because "my life is already wonderful enough, and the mission of the little songstress at the end of the world has been accomplished".
First become what you want to be, reach yourself, in order to be satisfied, peacefully fall into the mortal world, to fulfill the next mission, for the family and the child happy to give all. Step by solid step, she proceeds with the journey of life that is hers, neither rushing nor slacking.
Not necessarily perfect in every process, but doing her best is complete.
Thanks to Fan Weiqi in those years, for her songs, her situations, her strength. She showed us the struggling process of an ordinary person, not throwing her weight around, cherishing her talent, and not being stingy with her love and goodwill towards life.
Thank you, Fan Weiqi.
