Chapter 274: The Ups and Downs of Those Years (1/4)
The recording of the show has begun, and in the set up studio, Murphy and Luo Xin sit facing each other, and several cameras are filming them from different angles.
"So you were only fourteen or fifteen years old when you released your first record?" Luo Xin asked with a smile.
"Fourteen years old. Murphy nodded.
"Oh, that's so young, why do you want to make your debut so early?" Luo Xin asked.
Murphy's answers are always concise and to the point, and it is easy to be cold, but fortunately, Luo Xin is the host, and she has been finding words for Murphy in various ways to guide her to tell her own story.
"Because I love music. Murphy still answered very simply, but after looking at Luo Xin's eyes, she continued to expand, "Sister Luo Xin is not quite right, I didn't debut at the age of fourteen, because that was the age when I released my first official record, before that, I had arranged to release some single CDs, or sing New Year's songs with other singers, and I also participated in some TV competitions when I was young." β
Luo Xin smiled: "I see, we Murphy have been a musical genius since we were children!"
"I can't say I'm a genius, I just learned earlier than others, and I was deeply influenced by my mother. Murphy said.
Luo Xin turned his head to look at the camera and said with a smile: "Here I would like to introduce to some audiences who may not know about it, Murphy's mother is Ms. Zhou Mengyu, a singer in the seventies of Hong Kong City." β
It's not famous, but Luo Xin didn't point it out.
"We all know that Murphy, your first record was quite good, and you were nominated for the New Artist of the Year in Hong Kong City at that time, but why didn't you continue to stay in Hong Kong City to develop?
"Because I didn't really win the award for this newcomer of the year, and the subsequent development was not smooth, at this time, Sister Ling, who had just founded Tianmei, felt that my singing skills had the potential to develop, so she brought me to the mainland. Murphy said lightly.
The real reason is not only these, when Murphy lost the award, some people in the company questioned her, thinking that Murphy relied on her mother's relationship to gain the company's resource tilt, which also became an excuse for those people to attack the music director.
Of course, this rumor is not rootless, Murphy's mother did have a good relationship with the company's music director at the time, so Murphy's entry into the music scene started smoothly, and he almost won the Newcomer of the Year award.
But Murphy himself actually worked very hard. Murphy, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, was a little unbearable by the gossip of these people, and she isolated herself from these people with indifference, ignoring the intrigues and trying to make her own music.
With Murphy's angular personality, after the change of music director and the loss of her backer, she was naturally isolated by the whole company, and for two consecutive years, she had no chance to get ahead.
This difficult situation lasted until Niu Meiling appeared, and Niu Meiling, who took a fancy to Murphy's potential, brought her to the mainland.
In this regard, Luo Xin asked: "So in Tianmei, in the mainland music market, you almost started from scratch, and we all knew that it would be difficult in the first few years, for this time, do you have any particularly memorable stories that you would like to share with the audience?"
However, Murphy was very upright, she thought for a while, and said, "It's difficult, it's not very difficult, I think it's okay, because my father asked us to speak Mandarin at home, so when I first came, Mandarin wasn't very bad, and everyone didn't treat me as a singer in Hong Kong." β
This is a little embarrassing, but fortunately, Luo Xin is experienced, she smiled and said, "Then does Murphy remember what was the first Chinese song he sang after he came to the mainland?"
In this way, Luo Xin slowly sorted out Murphy's singer career from the beginning to his retirement through guidance again and again, and then asked: "What is the reason for that? After five years of retirement, you chose to come back, and start from scratch again!"
This question has actually been answered many times by Murphy when she came out on her comeback album a few months ago, but at that time, the words were revised by the company's public relations, and this time, Murphy wanted to say what was in her heart.
"Because I still like to sing, although I have been away for more than five years, I still yearn for that stage, which is my wish since I was a child. So no matter how hard it is to start over, I want to come back and keep singing!" Murphy said.
"It's true that we didn't see you return to the album with great results, and it would not be too much to say that it was a fiasco, but it's great to see that after more than two months, you are back in front of the public with a new song, 'Across the Ocean to See You'. Luo Xin's words fell, and the audience burst into applause.
"To be honest, when I heard your song, I was very emotional, does Murphy know why?" Luo Xin asked with a smile.
"Why?"
"Because after so many years, listening to you sing "Drifting Across the Sea to See You" is like hearing you sing "Love and Strangers" back then, it is still a familiar and beautiful singing voice, or a familiar and sad emotion, or you, the familiar and beautiful Murphy, you haven't changed at all in five years!" Luo Xin said sensationally.
Murphy's tranquil face was also faintly moved, a trace of mist floated in her eyes, and she said softly: "Thank you, Sister Luo Xin." β
"Can you tell us how you have maintained such a good voice and singing voice after so many years of retirement?" Luo Xin asked.
"Because I'm out of the music scene, I'm still training every day as I was at work!" Murphy said simply.
Actually, in the script, here is the key!
Luo Xin tried to guide Murphy: "Day after day? year after year? So how did you persevere?"
Murphy only remembered at this time, and she followed Luo Xin's words and said: "It's still because the dream of music is still there, and I haven't given up." β
"That's a very good point! Because of the dream, Murphy has come all the way to now, despite the ups and downs, despite the twists and turns, but she has been persevering, I also firmly believe that Murphy you can succeed, just like before you retired, one day you will stand at the peak of the music scene, stand on the stage you desire the most!" Luo Xin said with a smile.
After some sensationalism, Luo Xin suddenly became naughty again, and she blinked her eyes funny like a young man in the camera: "Murphy, I've said so many good things to you, do you have to sing a new song here today?"
"Huh?" Luo Xin's routine, Murphy couldn't react a little, as if it shouldn't have been suddenly introduced in the script.
"It's rare to have a "Zhixin Interview", you can't sing old songs here, right? You can't sing "Drifting Across the Sea to See You"! I heard that the new album you are preparing, the twelve songs are all written by Mu Ziang for you, and the first song is excellent, if you don't come out with a new song today, the audience will not agree!" Luo Xin said with a smile.
Murphy understood, she smiled lightly, and said to herself: "Since that's the case, then I'll sing you a new song, this song is also in line with the content of tonight's conversation with Sister Luo Xin, and the lyrics are written in my heart!"
"So what are we waiting for, hurry into the part we are most looking forward to...... MusicοΌβ
"Thank you, Sister Luo Xin...... "The First Dream", I hope you like it!"
