But if you want to find more information about Guo Tao on the Internet, it is still rare. As Guo Tao said, "I won't give you a brief introduction, because I don't want so many titles, and I'm not a star. I am just a literary and art worker who loves life. " When did you start singing folk songs in northern Shaanxi? Under what kind of coincidence, he became an "online celebrity"? On August 3rd, 65438, as a guest on the media talk show of the No.1 12 issue of Guo Tao's Shaanxi Opera radio "Chang 'an Literati", described his artistic experience.
Before 20 12, Guo Tao was a kindergarten teacher and a good teacher who could sing and dance in the eyes of children. At that time, singing was just her hobby, and the songs she sang were usually learned from her grandparents and parents. "We in northern Shaanxi can sing folk songs in northern Shaanxi. When I was a child, I never sang nursery rhymes. The first song I know is Dongfanghong, "Guo Tao said with a smile.
20 12 A contestant of CCTV's Avenue of Stars cannot participate in the competition for some reason. The program group needed to find a player who looked good in all aspects, so they found Guo Tao temporarily. As a substitute, Guo Tao said that when she participated in the first round, she was shocked, but she advanced in the first game. However, she backed out later because she was not a professional singer and she didn't know many songs. In addition, she has to finish the recording in seven days, which is too short for herself. Guo Tao felt that she was incompetent. "At that time, the ratings of the Avenue of Stars were very, very high. Standing on that stage, I feel that the people of the whole country are watching me, especially afraid that I will make mistakes, so I have the idea of quitting. " Looking back, Guo Tao was still a child. In the end, Guo Tao not only finished the recording, but also won the popularity championship of "Avenue of Stars" in 20 12.
Speaking of this honor, Guo Tao modestly said it was luck. At that time, she probably didn't understand why people liked her so much. However, that success opened a new world for Guo Tao, and since then, she has strengthened her belief in becoming a professional singer.
Although he has never studied music systematically, Guo Tao has his own unique understanding of folk songs in northern Shaanxi: "Shandandan flowers are red and orchids are blooming. These works are very classic, but for young people, they can only be appreciated, not sung. We are very moved by the songs of northern Shaanxi sung by our ancestors before, which are worth learning, but they don't want us to keep singing and copying according to the style of their time. So what I'm doing now is to combine my understanding of traditional culture and folk songs in northern Shaanxi with my understanding of this era and pop music, sing out the people of our young people in northern Shaanxi, and let the culture be inherited and developed. And my next generation may be another way to sing. Only by adapting to the times can our folk songs in northern Shaanxi be endless. " Guo Tao is firmly moving in this direction, and there will be doubts during the period. However, whether it is the success of "Avenue of Stars" or the fire of online platforms, it is undoubtedly proving that her ideas and practices are correct.
It is another coincidence to mention that you are an "internet celebrity". At the request of fans, a self-media platform once filmed a video of Guo Tao singing folk songs in northern Shaanxi, which became popular on the Internet. At that time, the broadcast volume was nearly 10 million, and she even received messages from Chinese in Switzerland, Japan and Malaysia. From then on, Guo Tao began to publish her works with short videos, including videos of her singing folk songs in northern Shaanxi, videos of her drawing and writing, and some daily life sharing.
Today, Guo Tao has millions of fans on the short video platform and is loved by fans and friends. When the program was broadcast live simultaneously through the video number of Shaanxi Opera Radio and the blue live broadcast of Shaanxi Headline Western Network, the interaction between the audience and the audience was very enthusiastic, with a viewing volume of 654.38+0.2 million in just one hour. "I'm going to perform in different places now. There are really many fans and friends who come to see me, pull banners for me and make some small videos for me, which makes me very moved. They are really supporting me. " Guo Tao was filled with a happy smile when he mentioned this. She said that she will not live up to everyone's expectations and love. She will continue to walk with the strength and courage given by her fans and give back to everyone with more and better works!
