welcome everyone's attention and discussion~
friends around me know that I like Lin Yilian very much, from the bombing of the playlist to countless times calling her with words. The acquaintance between
and her originated from my counseling teacher, a counselor who was 12 years older than me and liked Lin Yilian for 19 years.
At first, I didn't take the teacher's Amway seriously, until one night, I sat alone on the beach in Baicheng, smoking a cigarette, and listening to "It's too dark" all night. The strong and profound lyrics of
appeared sinking and fascinated by her interpretation, and the "emotion" in the song was delicately grasped by her.
I decided to love this woman and decided to be her believer.
Four years have passed now, four years of studying with the teacher, and four years of love Lin Yilian together.
As a singer, she is impeccable; but what really makes me like her is-feminine.
On her, she is sexy, charming, gentle, intellectual... Those beautiful words seem to be found in her, and there is no conflict.
on the stage of "The Voice of Dreams" can be a calm dark queen or a gentle and affectionate girl. When he stepped down as a mentor, he immediately became professional, but he was easily moved and shed tears. Facing the players he liked, he expressed affection in a soft voice without hesitation.
On her, I can always capture a sense of lightness, or softness. Filled with his own beauty recklessly, but will never be knocked down.
is flexible and tough, which makes people feel pitiful and cute; she is also very mature. Her maturity is: letting emotions spread out is not to win the sympathy of others, but to digest my own emotions.
This is her degree, her honesty and boundaries. The years left marks on her body, but did not cover her soul. At this moment, her heart was shining like a diamond.
used to be in the Hong Kong music scene. She used to be
, but she was such a beautiful woman who also secretly inferiority in her teenage years.
's squinted eyes and ordinary facial features are always hidden in the crowd, and even nicknamed ugly.
, a former classmate of the four queens in the 1980s, Priscilla Chan, said in a talk show: "When was in middle school, Yilian always stayed in the corner of the crowd, especially inconspicuous. When the host asked "
: "She is now With great momentum, will it conflict with your career?" When such a sharp topic.
Priscilla Chan quickly said: No, everyone is in healthy competition. Although we have no contact after graduation, I think Sandy is a very good person. After graduating from high school, Lin Yilian became a radio anchor, stage name 611, and soon appeared in the movie "Dragon and Phoenix Wisdom Stars" and partnered with her brother Leslie Cheung.
is also the first cooperation with his brother, only ten years later, the brother whispered at the beginning of "Naked Secret".
Leslie Cheung has retired for a long time at this time. Facing Lin Yilian's invitation, he agreed to cooperate without a word. Leslie Cheung himself is a righteous person. He said: Yilian is like a sister, she is very good.
returned to the music business. The first two albums were as tepid as she was, hidden in the crowd without splashes.
until the second album of the same name "Yilian", until she met a wish.
made a wish to unearth those luminous points on this ordinary girl and make her a city girl.
"Dream Crazy", "Urban Trilogy", "Wild Flower", to this day, we have to admire the finishing touches of the wish made thirty years ago. Although the role of
soulmates is great, the singer's own efforts and talents are also very important.
Lin Yilian is extremely demanding of herself. She has to spend time to reinterpret a song with a slight deficiency. Even Lin Xi and Huang Weiwen, the two major lyricists, have had the experience of rejecting manuscripts several times.
According to anecdotal rumors, Lin Xi worked with her on a certain occasion, no matter how Lin Xi changed Lin Yilian, he was not satisfied, and Lin Xi was so angry that Lin Xi called her difficult.
and thatHuang Weiwen, a super obsessed brother who is obsessed with "Yilian Wonton", just said on the front foot: "Lin Yilian is not an idol, she is a religion." received the bad news of rejection on the back foot.
Even the two master-level lyrics writers could not meet her standards at one time. Of course, difficult is difficult to do, and difficult to do also represents seriousness.
maybe because of this, it can attract another woman who is strict with herself-Maggie Cheung's sympathy.
"When I was in the dressing room, I often listened to Yilian's songs to decompress. I like her very much."
In a sense, why are their experiences different?
hasn't met Wong Kar-wai's Maggie Cheung, and has been a "vase" in more than 20 comedy films. Maggie Cheung in "Carmen Mong Kok", a generation of art goddess began to show off.
In this movie, two legendary women, one song and the other form an intersection. When Lin Yilian's "Passion" sounded in the film, Maggie Cheung's melancholy and sad face immediately came into view.
Many years later, we call Maggie Cheung the shadow queen; many years later, we are moved by Lin Yilian's thirty-year persistence; many years later, we watched the shadow queen’s movie and grew up listening to the queen’s song.
In the early 1990s, the eldest sister Anita Mui retired, and Priscilla Chan left for the United States. The battle between Lin Yilian and Ye Qianwen's sister was in full swing. When the two fans were quarreling with red ears, Ye Qianwen generously introduced Lin Yilian to the company as a friend.
So far, Lin Yilian successfully "breaks into" the life circle of idol Lin Zixiang and competitor Ye Qianwen.
In 2003, the terminally ill Anita Mui started her last concert. As a guest, Lin Yilian sang "Star" with her to commemorate her friend Chen Baiqiang. She said to Lin Yilian, "Yilian, know how long I waited for you."
Lin Yilian responded with a smile: "Anita, I have waited for a long time, and I can finally become your concert guest."
Then the two friends laughed together, and Amei took the initiative to explain to Yilian: Really, she really Very busy, Shanghai and Taiwan are running around. It is difficult to invite her to be a guest, so you have to cherish it tonight.
When Lin Yilian was shy and gentle and said that she was happy to see Amei, Anita Mui replied decisively that I was so happy to see you.
Two friends for many years are like a pair of older sisters and younger sisters. Regarding the arrival of the younger sister Lin Yilian who "married far away" from another country, the older sister Anita Mui was considerate and caring.
The older generation of artists are mostly humble, kind, silent and serious doing their own things.
is also polite to newcomers, they are not big names, they are just predecessors who take their careers seriously.
But to make most people praise you, it depends on your own behavior.
In the final of "Singer" in 17 years, when Huimei Zhang had bronchitis and her voice was not in good condition, Lin Yilian politely took the microphone away.
doesn't want to overwhelm A-mei's limelight at this critical juncture of her own, and make her "faceless". She cares more about the friendship between the two people than the Singer Trophy.
Time seems to have returned to fourteen years ago, when the deceased was not there, and the old way of being human continues to this day.
is also because of this, some people angrily accused her of being "the king of water singers" and "not worthy of winning the championship" after the game...
herself didn't seem to care about it, she won the trophy lightly and was happy I went to Lantai to participate in "The Voice of Dreams" and secretly produced a new album.
As early as the end of 2017, there were rumors that a new album was about to be released, but it was delayed until Christmas Eve of 18 years. In the end, I casually took two photos, two mv, and continued to lose news.
won the Best Mandarin Female Singer again at the Golden Melody Awards at the end of June this year, but she did not attend. The agent Chen Zhenchuan said on stage: besides making music, she is now living an ordinary life. It's hard to see her.
Li Zongsheng won the best lyricist award that night and did not attend.
Those talents in life
talk about Lin Yilian, we always can't get around a man-Li Zongsheng.
In our crowd, people are happy and gossip, evenAt the time when Shi Shiwen literary and art shouted "Don't listen to Li Zongsheng when I was young, but when I grow up I know Lin Yilian", the two parties have long been indifferent to everything.
There is also a person in their relationship-Li Zongsheng's ex-wife Zhu Weiyin. The two met even more from Zhu Weiyin's recommendation to Li Zongsheng: There is a female singer in Hong Kong who sings very well.
Who knew that Li Zongsheng became obsessed with Lin Yilian and divorced Zhu Weiyin directly.
The relationship between these three people is not like Qiong Yaoping Xintao's horse catching drama, facing Li Zongsheng's obsession, Zhu Weiyin calmly let go, while Lin Yilian ran to Canada to hide.
Faced with Lin Yilian’s closed door, Li Zongsheng stood outside the door all night, and then he had the emotional "Someone asked me right and wrong, saying right and wrong, but who really cares about whom?"
In 1998, the two who had been in love for a long time married and had a daughter. In 2004, the two divorced. This past episode ended with the drawing of Brother Zong Sheng's "May you and I not suffer in vain".
Lin Yilian issued a statement frankly and rationally. After that, it was the gossip and sigh of our fans for more than ten years.
Faced with feelings, she has always been honest; face of career, she has always been focused and serious. It is reported that the reason for the divorce of the two is the difference in career development.
mentioned earlier that she has extremely high demands on herself, especially in her music career. However, career and family are often difficult to reconcile. If two people gather less and leave more, they will naturally fall apart.
did not accuse each other and blamed each other for their faults. This may be the greatest respect and dignity given to each other by a pair of people who once loved each other. When
announced Lin Yilian as a singer on the Mango Channel, another of her predecessors made a wish and generously praised her on Weibo for choosing the song Li Zongsheng made for her, and she sang very well.
three people have such a high EQ that people have to admire, how many people can make the predecessor not complain, and sincerely wish each other?
Today, Lin Yilian and the 42-year-old "little wolf dog" Gong Shuoliang lead a happy and ordinary life. Participating in "Singer" and "Dream Voice" is a golden combination composed of boyfriend Gong Shuoliang playing drums + "Good Girlfriend" Lun Yongliang.
has stepped on the elapsed time to make progress
. Until today, she has been out for thirty-five years and has experienced the three eras of Hong Kong Music's glory, physical CD, and new media.
When many peers and even younger singers disappeared, she was the only one who persisted in silence.
time favors her, making her more and more feminine. why?
Because even if she has reached the stage of knowing the destiny, she is still studying and working hard. Because of the consistent attitude of
over the years, she has never given up on her career, and her focus and precision at work has made her co-producers full of praise (except for the two Weiwens).
She loves cooking and once published a cookbook of her own, teaching everyone how to make lion heads on Nicholas Tse’s "Twelve Ways of the Edge".
, like her god-old sister Liu Meijun, has insisted on exercising for many years. In the mv of "Song without Words", it is directly upside down.
She once said: "I don't want to be a queen, but an Asian singer." Now she said: "Maybe singing is a very simple thing, just like life." Ambiguous, but pointed to the essence. Everyone has their own understanding of life, and polishing in the ordinary may be her philosophy of life.
has returned to the public in the past two years. Many people say that she is a young girl, charming and without any worries.
Because she is her own girl, she does not need to rely on a man to prove herself. The sign of a mature woman is: You can see her in her many forms, no matter which form she is, she is always independent.
Women’s greatest self-growth is nothing more than getting rid of the shackles of time and making continuous progress on the elapsed time.
Age will make you old, but it cannot hide the light in your eyes.
