Chapter 612 [The Former Girl Combination]
On the simple stage, Chen Qizhen wore a long dark blue skirt, held a guitar, and stood there quietly, clear, simple, singing in a low voice, expressing a roundabout and gorgeous expression. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Memories of her all came flooding into Lu Chong's mind.
Chen Qizhen was born in Taipei and has been dependent on her mother since childhood. Her mother is an accountant who teaches children to play the piano in her spare time to support the family. With her mother's expectations, Chen Qizhen began to study classical music at an early age, but then she gave up classical music and practiced guitar with her classmates. Chen Qizhen studied in the second grade at Changchun Elementary School, and then transferred to Dunhua Elementary School. Chen Qizhen spent her middle school career in Shilin Junior High School and Jingmei Middle School, and she studied in the Department of Philosophy of the Faculty of Arts and Letters of Chengchi University, minoring in journalism.
In 1995, he participated in the "Wooden Boat Folk Song Competition", but was eliminated in the preliminary round. In 1996, Chen Qizhen participated in the "Wooden Boat Folk Song Competition" for the second time and won the first place, and began the road of music creation.
In that life, in 1998, she formed the "Girl Specimens" group with Xu Huaiyu, Wu Peici, and Li Xinjie, thus officially entering the showbiz.
Xu Huaiyu, Li Xinjie, Wu Peici, Chen Qizhen, these four people, the girl group of the year, and later the specimen of the entertainment industry.
Lu Chong still remembers "Love is Like a Heavy Cold", which was Xu Huaiyu's, she just debuted and gave people a very gentle and feminine feeling, but soon her singing path became really a girl, singing "I am a girl", and slowly even this song disappeared, and she was rarely seen showing her face in the media, until the later dance forest conference.
When Li Xinjie debuted, I felt a little "wild", "Say you love me, say you love me, don't you love me anymore......" After Zhang Zhenyue covered it, she became more popular than the original song, and then she changed her career to make movies, and the movie's drama turned to alternative and weird aspects, both in terms of word-of-mouth and box office, and she also won the Golden Horse actress award, which made everyone almost forget that she entered the industry by singing. What impressed Lu Chong the most was "Ghost Domain", which was so well acted, and the whole scene took people away from reality and illusion in panic.
"Tearful Decision" is Wu Peici's famous song, she is the tallest among the 4 people, known as the nine-headed body, probably so, soon after she turned to film and television and modeling work, especially models, has been doing it for more than ten years, and the nine-headed body has been maintained so well, as for the face, Lu Chong doesn't dare to compliment, sometimes it feels strange to see her and Huang Lixing like a dragon and phoenix.
Chen Qizhen, a pure girl who sings with a guitar, forgot the name of the song and the melody of the song back then, but it did not reduce Lu Chong's impression of her. Among the four people, she is the only one who has always insisted on singing her own songs, expressing her feelings and thoughts with melody.
Although Lu Chong has now found Xu Huaiyu and met Chen Qizhen, and now he is in Taipei, the treasure island, it is easy to find the other two people, but Lu Chong does not want to form a combination of girl specimens, the reason is very simple, the four people are not only completely different in image, temperament, and style, but also cannot make up for each other like the three of SHE, they are more suitable for their own development, and it can even be said that the road they walked out of that life is the most suitable path for them, and reluctantly putting them together will only waste each other's time.
In that life, Chen Qizhen came out of the girl specimen group and launched her first solo music album "Let Me Think", except for the song "Cool You" composed by Lin Weizhe, the lyrics and songs of the rest of the songs were all composed by Chen Qizhen, showing her strong creative ability.
This native treasure island girl has never stopped her dream since she began selling samples in Kenting, and has been using her works to portray her unique life, in the few years of wandering on the edge, Chen Qizhen is difficult to be classified by the mainstream or non-mainstream, but let her out of the path that only she can walk, the world gives her abundant energy, but also creates her own unique style.
In the following eighteen years, she only released six albums, an average of one every three years, this speed is undoubtedly much lower than that of singers such as Zhou Jielun who release at least one more album a year, and her achievements naturally cannot be compared with Zhou Jielun, but she has her special audience and very die-hard fans, which also constitutes her unique commercial value.
Chen Qizhen has a trait that Lu Chong admires very much, she is good at singing and writing, unlike Cai Yilin, who can only sing but not create, as long as Chen Qizhen is given a loose platform and necessary support, basically there is no need to worry about her too much, her self-acting maverick life attitude can allow her to maintain a good creative attitude, although the creation is relatively slow, but will always maintain output.
Chen Qizhen also has a characteristic that Lu Chong admires very much, she loves to sing live, compared to some divas who lip-sync at every turn, she is really amazing.
Compared with other singers who disappeared during the non-release period, Chen Qizhen has maintained regular small live performances since before her debut. For her, the live performance format has irreplaceable charm. The earliest was when I was a student and went to Kenting to play and sing at the same time, and after singing, I took out a box of CDs that I pressed myself to sell. Before his debut, he performed for the first time in a witch shop, and the audience was still less than three tables. In just a few years, Chen Qizhen has accumulated quite a lot of die-hard fans. Every time I sing, the witch shop is full of popularity. By the time of the 2000 "Greenhouse Flowers" concert, tickets were sold out in just one week.
For Chen Qizhen, who insists on performing live, singing does not only happen on TV, but also music does not exist only during the publicity period. Even if the record sales are very good, she is still the same Chen Qizhen who is on the beach in Kenting, holding a guitar and singing and selling CDs, directly facing the audience. Her music is closer to face-to-face communication. The album "Guitarist" is named "Groupies" in English, which can also be said to be the most direct thank you to the fans who have accompanied her along the way.
When Chen Qizhen was a student, she often skipped class to attend concerts, and this habit has been maintained for many years. She not only watched the performance on the stage, but also observed the fans in the audience, and also wrote a song "Guitarist", writing that the little fans wanted to attract the attention of their idols, and they invested all their anticipation in just one second of eye contact. That kind of Groupies-style charge, unhesitating enthusiasm, is also the most fanatical form of love, love is a concert, and everyone is a crazy little fan inside.
When performing on stage, Chen Qizhen also has her own Groupies. Many of Chen's fans attend almost every one of her live performances. The new songs sung by Chen Qizhen live are often discussed by fans on the Internet before the official release. Chen Qizhen's fans may not be crazy about chasing stars, but they support their idols in a unique way.
In short, if you invest in her, you won't lose money.
