I'll talk about how Mr. Liu Huan's god, but also that he attaches great importance to original music. From the first season is also called "I am a singer" in the case, the program group gradually invited Liu Huan, the whole invitation for seven years, film director professional flew away 2 times to visit him in the United Kingdom. 2020 "singer" seventh season, Liu Huan finally agreed to go on this variety show, is due to the Hunan station will be and Liu Huan together with the creation of "Liu Huan original music stock fund "
Liu Huan Original Music Stock Fund is a charitable foundation that will gradually from 2020, on January 11th of each year, will make outstanding contributions to China's creative music to reward one million rmb. Liu Huan laughed and said that he was "cheated" by this original stock fund.
After 90, after the audience talk about Liu Huan, it is likely to always bring the allegory of spit to imitate Liu Huan sing a few lines of "Song of the Good", and do not understand the two words in our country's singing world represents what ...... and the objective fact is that Liu Huan is not only the most changeable in the past 30 years and the design of the style of the most varied and fashionable male singer, but also the statement of the singing world original music reward one million rmb. The fact is that Liu Huan is not only the most popular male singer in the past 30 years, but also the leader of the original music of the statement singing world, which is trying its best!
How did Liu Huan become a god?Liu Huan studied at the Institute of International Relations in the 1980s, and while he loved comedy as a child, he majored in Dutch literature as a college elective and eventually fell in love with music. Since his childhood, Liu Huan has been very partial to traditional instruments, often using lunch breaks to run to the music teacher's office to play traditional instruments.
In Tianjin City, read ordinary high school, the same classmates have a classmates made up their minds to take the college entrance examination this year to the music school, on the sophomore year of high school, the institution has a grand piano, the first time to see him in front of my eyes to play Chopin's Butterflies, I was also giddy, the original this thing can be made to be like that ......
Doing it yourself! The first time I saw a lot of students playing the guitar on campus, I used to see what was so difficult to get, and I borrowed the piano from someone else during the summer, and after I got home, I became the best player in the pile of people. After that, I gradually composed my own songs. I have a bit of interest in any acoustic items, such as opera singing way although I have not learned, but love to listen to, and even include some of the methods of Chinese opera I all pay more attention to ......
Traditional musical instruments of love around his life, after the famous, his home collection of
The love of traditional instruments has surrounded him all his life.
After he grew up, Liu loved to gather with a group of songwriters and writers at the Beijing International Sound and Visual Arts Enterprise, a compound musicians call the "Big Wooden Cage. If you've ever seen a man in the service hall of the "Dagi Cang" playing a slow electric piano while blaring out an English song, it's Liu Huan.
In his early 20s, he was still a delicate singer, nowhere near as good as his favorite, Bob Dylan, but at a time when singers didn't even know how to read music, Liu Huan was a revelation.
In 1988, when the wave of young people returning to the city was just less than a decade old, a TV drama starring him called "Snow City" was released. "There is a sunlight in the sky, there is a moon in the water ......" When Liu Huan's heartfelt ringing voice came, how many people tear up like rain. For some people, Liu Huan's singing only had to carry the ideal to "know the youth to go to the countryside", to guard the border, to reclaim the wilderness of the people understand.
Another piece of music that everyone knows is "inseparable from you," which became popular again after twenty-five years because of Huang Qisan's singing. And it was the first time Liu Huan recorded a song for a TV series.
As it happens, there was more than one TV series that favored Liu Huan in those days.After having already recorded music for "Snow City," "Plainclothes Policeman" approached him again. The musician Lei Lei after writing the theme song "young man's ambition does not speak of sadness", the first thing that comes to mind is to be sung by Liu Huan. Because of Liu Huan's excellent sound quality, pitch and infectiousness, it left a deep impression on her. After Lei Lei persuaded the assistant director Zhao Baogang, the two of them went to great lengths to find out where Liu Huan lived, so they decided to pay a visit.
Crossing a dormitory, looking for the largest number of beer bottles at the entrance of the one, to Liu Huan's dormitory, crowded room, only put down a bed and a table, and even the fall of the area is not.
"They handed the song to me, I looked at it and said, this is too low key, low there are 4 degrees, you have to change, again orchestration." Liu Huan, who was suffering from a heavy cold, played the guitar and tried to sing "Young Man's Ambition", a simple singing technique that was more infectious than the then-fashionable American singing style, and Liu Huan's on-the-spot singing was more enthusiastic and adequate.
Beijing at that time, every Monday, Wednesday, Friday play "plainclothes policemen", Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday play "snow city", "the sun in the heart", "can not leave you", "youth ambition not to speak of sadness" these songs all over the streets and alleys.
1990 Asian Games, the opening meeting, the whole audience can not help and Liu Huan, Wei only up chorus: "We Asia, the mountain is expensive head, we Asia, the river like hot blood ......" The song "The Asian Heroes" is not the most popular song in Asia. Asian wind" is not the song of the Asian Games, just a publicity planning music, but the level of fire is far beyond the original set of the song.
In the case of the video recording of the song, Liu Huan stayed up in the studio for two days and two nights, but he could not find his mind. Therefore, the composer Xu Peidong came out to buy a few cans of Yanjing beer, after opening the bottle stopper, Liu Huan drink a mouthful of singing a sentence, under the effect of alcohol, the mindset went up at once, the whole first song out of the heart. As the two hottest power singers at that time - Liu Huan, Wei Wei, is also well known with this song.
Tens of thousands of miles I followed you, but you do not care, you did not seem to be in my dream, in the dream you are my only ......90 the 1990s, our country stepped into a new wave of French - "Hong Kong immigration Under the tidal wave, it is the skyscrapers and exotic flavors in the hearts of millions of people. The song "ask a million times" is undoubtedly the most appropriate music for the situation of the period.
Liu Huan, in the situation of creating this song, moved a full set of MIDI machines and equipment to the hotel room, and daily talked with Feng to create and find design inspiration. Eventually, in more than a month's time, *** created 7 songs and more than 90 pieces of music. When I first shot "Beijingers in New York", I didn't even have any money, and Liu Huan basically didn't earn a penny for arranging the music for this show. But he was still very attentive, and the money was invested with great passion. We all lived in a restaurant at that time in a house, he moved all the instruments to the house, daily with me to talk about making, and even all night to carry out the creation. --Director Feng
Despite the fact that the first touch of classical style music, but in the case of the creation of the situation, he was from sticking with a musical approach, he tried a little rock and roll, also tried to design styles like Funky, but the final decision to moderate a little bit. The end of the movie was originally all about orchestral music, but afterward he realized that the actual effect was not very good, or he chose electroacoustic.
All the 90s, we are widely known TV series "Water Margin", "Laughing Proudly Wanderer", "Baolian Lantern", "Journey to the West after the biography of the" in the side, are Liu Huan's ringing voice, and he is also in this kind of creation in the continuous trial, and continue to improve. Excellent creative talent, wonderful singing, coupled with the support of the TV series, Liu Huan's credibility arrived at the peak for a time.
In recent years, Liu Huan to the TV series "Legend of Concubine Zhen Huan" soundtrack album created again by the audience and the industry unanimous five-star praise, in fact, 76 episodes of the TV series, Liu Huan has seen three times intact , but also personally to the Zhejiang Hengdian go to see the castles of the play once, because "I give you to do this one! Music is a three-dimensional sense, if you actually houses big, my music becomes small, listen to it is not right, or the other way around is even more wrong."
Liu Huan, the recluse, Liu Huan, the teacher.Liu Huan often said: "music is very big, I'm not big, its own insignificant things are not worth disturbing the music", so he has been with the outside to maintain a certain distance. In the past, there was a period of time, every day from the TV has been hearing their own singing to Liu Huan upset. 1991, due to participation in the CCTV party "was late" and suffered a ban, it is precisely this opportunity so that he can calm down to look at their own, thinking about music.
Since then, he has gradually turned down offers from others, and gradually, very few people have approached Liu Huan to sing. Liu Huan also set a lot of standards for commercial performances, he said:"The performance area is more than two hours away from the airport did not go; the performance of the situation, the lower side of the dining, did not go; hall meeting did not go; do not pay the full amount of tax did not go." In which later, Liu Huan get back to the music itself, head down to study hard to create. He was more uninhibited and more casual.
Liu Huan is one of the first musicians in mainland China to be able to use a computer to arrange, compose, produce and make music. Back in the 90s, he loved to drum up machines and equipment to produce his own music. In the case of the first interview with Liu Huan at his home, Liu Huan took the group on a tour of the factory warehouse where he was supposed to be a recording studio, which was filled with all kinds of machines and equipment that had been replaced by the times to make music: from the desktop computer he bought in 1992 to write the soundtrack for "Beijinger in New York", to the iMac G3, and to the simulation of analog audio. The time period of the mixing console ......
Cancer Liu Huan habitual "one hand": "Now I have long been many many years did not go to do the music of the TV series, because it is too tired. Several dozens of episodes, more than a hundred music to do out, I always do not feel at ease with others in here, so the middle and late I still have to follow, this music, several dozens of episodes of music I loaded a line by line, which must be what, this is all their own to do, as a matter of fact, behind this they should have a music writing."
Liu Huan's body has an aura like a master artist, which makes it very easy for the group to distinguish him from other singers. He has announced only a handful of solo albums, most of them for TV series, and the rest as his latest singles. Remaining time, he will teach, Liu Huan has been teaching music since 1985, when he went to the mountainous region of Shizuishan in Ningxia, teaching the history of music in Western countries to experts at the Institute of International Relations and the University of International Business and Economics, in that order.
Liu Huan said:"Until the time of singing 'Asia's Mighty Wind', I hadn't taken myself as a singer. I seem to be almost also not too responsible, think I am amateur group, do well is I good, do not do too well no one said." Even so, every time he writes and sings, he does so at a very high level and with high efficiency. Gao Xiaosong once said, over the years, dare to change his rhythm, Liu Huan is the first person. Unbeknownst to Gao Xiaosong, not only did he not blame, but on the contrary, he had a strong admiration.
Remembering the first collaboration between the two, that is, in 1995, Gao Xiaosong for Liu Huan audio, after singing, Gao Xiaosong said, you wait a moment, I give you to write a low three degrees of harmony, after writing you sing again and sound. Liu Huan said, Harmony must still be written in music? I'll let you sing it immediately! Then it was sung so flawlessly.
Liu Huan: "Save original music."In the summer of 2012, Liu Huan became a teacher on The Voice of China. This move is very let people appear surprised, because Liu Huan never enthusiasm talent show, also rarely participate in entertainment programs. Liu Huan is the most technical and professional of the four teachers, and also the one with the most heart. I'm especially looking forward to them broadcasting some of the more technical and professional evaluations of the four teachers, or some of their musical implementations, although such items don't necessarily attract attention, he said.
Utility, Liu Huan in turn served as a teacher of "China's best song", "China's new song", "China Star" and other variety shows. In this kind of variety show, Liu Huan several times focus on "originality" - "Without originality, everyone's trendy music will become rice-free. " When "China's Best Songs" stopped after the third season, Liu Huan had expressed his grief over the loss of the original variety show in his WeChat circle of friends:
He said, Our recording industry system is too groovy, and still want me to be that old singer has been in the performance stage, pressed against the young people. He simply wants to tap into some of these singers who really have the overall strength to transport the new force for Chinese singers. In recent years, "super idol training", "total flow of fresh meat stars" and other styles are popular, Liu Huan showed that total flow is not equivalent to the art of modeling.
"This 2 years frankly network buzzword culture and art and everyone's promotion method is related. For example, the Internet era, data and information is very good, but does it mean that the total traffic should be completely used to guide the work? There are some very good well-known actors and singers can not bring the total flow, is indeed very practical difficulties, but the total flow represents what? It doesn't necessarily represent the art of modeling. For example, the United States TV series firmly believe that many people are going to watch, but I never firmly believe that the United States TV series is with the help of traffic monitoring out of the item, it has its own set of management system."
In the total flow of logical thinking under the correct guidance of each fan in their own circle of joy, fashionable music into "only young people's music", "only to a certain fan group to listen to the music", Liu Huan on this kind of situation is very resistant to, "The music of the young people, the music of the young people", "only to a certain fan group to listen to the music". "Trendy music is actually for anyone to listen to, it is because of that kind of promotion will lead to the strange situation, the forty-something people pretending to be thirty-something people to hold the blood of twenty-something songs to the teenagers to listen to, in fact, it should not be like that."
Liu Huan bluntly said that original music has long been to a moment of crisis, so his thoughts are "save original music".
The 2020 Singer has invited Liu Huan to join the agency, but also because of the high degree of importance attached to the original. 2020 Singer announced Liu Huan to join the agency's information, a lot of viewers complained that "everyone feel free to compare, but I believe that the eventual overall champion is all Liu Huan". Of course, this is not necessarily, and variety show exciting depends on the whole process, not depending on the results. But what is indisputable is that Hunan Radio and Liu Huan's promotion of originality is a great thing.
Everyone has been waiting a long time for a new era of Chinese singers.
