In 2005, Cui Jian, the "Father of Chinese Rock", released a new album "Give You a Little Color", and there was a song in this album called "The Lost Season". This song became famous because it was used as the ending theme of the movie "The Golden Heist". The deep and heavy sound of the song touches people's hearts every second.
But how much do you know about the story behind this song? This song was specially written by Cui Jian to Xie Jin, the "Queen of Rock" who passed away in 1999. Maybe everyone is unfamiliar with this name and have never heard of it. But her classic song "Rap Face" can be hummed by all Chinese people.
"The blue-faced Dou Erdun steals the horse, the red-faced Guan Gong fights in Changsha...the black-faced Zhang Fei, his name is Cha~Cha~~ah~~", this line is sung His tone was rough and majestic, but also a little soft. This more neutral and rough voice is the unique charm of the "Queen of Rock".
And Xie Jin lives up to her charm. She was born in Tianjin in 1971. Xie Jin, who is born with a sense of music, also liked singing since she was a child. I often express myself in front of family and friends without any stage fright. Xie Jin's fame came from the 1990 Asian Games, a large-scale party that brought together all the top singers in China.
At that grand event that attracted the attention of all Asia, Xie Jin successfully transformed into an actress who can stand shoulder to shoulder with famous singers such as Mao Amin and Na Ying with the "Light of the Asian Games" composed by Yan Yan Sanbao. Cannon and red. Warner Company has regarded her as a new cash cow and regarded this female singer who came from behind as a key actress to launch.
Later, Xie Jin sang "Rap Face" during a CCTV performance, which directly pushed Xie Jin's career to the top. Warner took advantage of this popularity. They spent a total of 800,000 yuan to produce the album "Xie Jin" specifically for them. As they expected, the album sold extremely well, and "Women Are Born to Dream" became the golden song of the year.
But in the same year, Xie Jin fell into a deep pit not long after he became famous. She was invited to give a concert at Kaishu University in Nanjing, but some people may not understand her. The acoustics of this performance were extremely poor and the quality of the performance was compromised. Xie Jin is a singer who pays great attention to the performance experience, and secretly hates someone making trouble.
After he stepped off the stage, he slapped the attendant in charge of the sound on the face. But what he never expected was that the identity of this attendant was actually not simple. Therefore, after offending this person, Xie Jin's Warner company hid him in the snow as punishment.
Since then, Xie Jin has rarely appeared in public, and the conflict with the company has become increasingly intense. Not being able to sing on her favorite stage made Xie Jin feel confused. Only her friend Wei Wei felt better when she came to visit, but water from afar could not quench her thirst for nearness, and she eventually suffered from depression.
When news about Xie Jin appeared again, it was the 1999 Xie Jin falling incident. In the early morning of February 14, 1999, Xie Jin, who loved cleanliness, took his last bath, put on the new clothes he bought the day before, and jumped from his 23rd floor apartment in Tianjin. He died on the spot. A car parked downstairs broke down.
When his friend Wei Wei learned the news, he was even more sad and burst into tears. Even Cui Jian, a big figure in the rock industry, felt sorry for the death of this young artist and wrote this "Lost Season". As for the audience and the original fans, it is a pity everywhere.
No one cared about him when he was hiding in the snow, but this jump made him famous. But Xie Jin can't see this anymore, and she doesn't care anymore. But Xie Jin's death gave a warning to singers in the entertainment industry. On the one hand, Xie Jin's violent mood and lack of ability to deal with people were the causes of his death, which is really indefensible.
But on the other hand, it directly exposed the serious status asymmetry between celebrity artists and film and television companies. Celebrities and artists are in an absolutely weak position facing film and television companies, and snow hiding is the best way for film and television companies to deal with them. Once an artist is hidden, it seems that there is no room for advancement. This is very abnormal. In recent years, more and more film and television stars have set up their own studios independently, and they also have this consideration in mind.
