continues from the previous article. Why do I say that "Probably Only Jia Zhangke Remembers Ye Qianwen" is the title party and grandstanding? Because the author either didn't understand Ye Qianwen, or deliberately avoided many things. You know, in addition to many middle-aged and elderly fans including Jia Zhangke, there are at least Fei Xiang, Tsui Ke, and Lin Zixiang’s ex-wife Wu Zhengyuan. Listen to me slowly.
Ye Qianwen’s family environment is very superior. Her grandfather was a Taiwanese legislator at the time, and she was the only daughter in the family. Therefore, she was a fan of the stars and spoiled her. Especially when she was 4 years old, in order to let her receive a good education, the family immigrated to Canada. Cultivated his "ghost girl" free and easy personality, dare to love and hate.
In fact, it is hard to say whether Ye Qianwen's personality comes from foreign education or the genes of the previous generation. Back then, Ye's father came to Taiwan from the mainland (Zhongshan, Guangdong), and he was very poor, and Ye's mother was the daughter of a family of officials. She fell in love with him at first sight and set her life privately. It could be regarded as "breaking through feudal ethics and pursuing free love." Odd woman. Many years later, Ye Qianwen and her mother followed a similar path. Faced with numerous difficulties and verbal accusations, they bravely issued a "declaration of love" and finally achieved their wish. The difference is that Ye’s mother’s problem is that her lover’s family origin, while Ye Qianwen’s problem is that her partner is a married man.
Like all singers' experiences, Ye Qianwen has been fascinated by singing since she was a child. According to her, she knew she had a talent for singing when she was 6 years old, and she believed that she would become a singer in the future. Therefore, she took the comb as a microphone every day and sang for 3 hours to be at ease. As a result, Ye Mu had to wear earplugs to escape "distress," and Ye father wanted to smash the record player angrily. So as soon as the holiday came, her parents sent her back to Taiwan's grandmother's home like a "Plague God" for peace.
Ye Qianwen's family
Not only did not resist returning to Taiwan, Ye Qianwen was just right. As the only Chinese in the school, she was regarded by her classmates as a "different". Everyone said that she had "small eyes, flat face and flat nose", and even often threw stones at her, making her wish to escape here quickly. These foreign devils think Ye Qianwen is not pretty? The eyes grow to the hips.
Ye Qianwen commented on her appearance in an interview as big ears, big teeth, big nose... However, this is just a kind of self-effacement. If others dare to say this, Ye Qianwen would not agree. One time, she went to the cinema to watch a movie she was acting in, and a girl in the back row muttered, "Ye Qianwen doesn't look very good." When she heard it, she immediately became furious. She turned her head and glared. The girl turned out to be the deity. Huarong was eclipsed; another time, when she went to watch "Shanghai Night", a male audience praised: "Ye Qianwen is so beautiful." She was exuberant and said "Thank you." His straightforward character is evident. Is
beautiful?
For some reason, Ye Qianwen has a soft spot for Shaw Brothers movies, especially Jiang David. In Canada, Chinese-language movies are rare. Returning to Taiwan can satisfy her hobby. She has watched David Jiang’s "Thirteen Taibao" 13 times. More exaggerated is "Jing Wu Men", she watched 28 times. So the question is, does she like Bruce Lee or David Jiang, Jiahe or Shaw? The
family saw that Ye Qianwen was so interested in singing and movies, and through their relationship, they took her to the TV station to meet the leaders. At that time, Ye Qianwen was in the 28th year of China, with a beautiful appearance and a slim appearance. He also participated in model training in Canada for two years. , The temperament is extraordinary, but... the TV station didn't want her. Why? Just because she was wearing hot shorts like in Canada, her big white legs almost blinded the leaders, maybe she didn't even see what she looked like. After all, the social atmosphere in the 1970s was relatively conservative and could not accept Ye Qianwen's "openness."
But now, this time it’s not nothing. The TV station has a 26-year-old actor named Lu Yilong who has a deep impression on Ye Qianwen's legs. He actively helped her direct her acting skills and invited her to host the show. They fell in love with each other. Up. Lu Yilong was suspected of deceiving underage girls in this matter. No wonder he mentioned Ye Qianwen later. He said, "(Just as) a good memory in life." A smug expression.
In these few years, Ye Qianwen shuttled between Taiwan and Canada, using the vacation as a host, shooting commercials, and falling in love by the way, leading a colorful life. Probably in 1980, Ye Qianwen was eating fried chicken on the street and met a friend in the circle and talked about the prince of the theater.The father and film investor Ma Yonglin is preparing to start making a movie and intends to star Brigitte Lin, but she is rejected. Ye Qianwen might as well try. As a result, after a try, it worked. The
movie called "A Match" officially opened the door to the show business for Ye Qianwen. At the same time, the film also allowed her to cry for the first time and sang the song of the same name.
It is strange to say that this song was originally sung by Qi Yu, but it was also rejected. Acting in movies that others don’t act in, singing songs that others don’t sing, winning awards that others no longer participate in, and marrying a man who was married to someone else. In this way, Ye Qianwen is really a professional picking up "second-hand goods" talent. .
Since you want to sing, you have to ask a teacher for special training. The crew has a big face, and the teacher invited is the famous Li Taixiang. Li Taixiang is a "master" who specializes in training female singers. Just look at the disciples sitting down to see how powerful they are: Qi Yu, Pan Yueyun, Huang Yingying, Xu Jingchun, Tang Xiaoshi... etc.
Li Taixiang lives in Yangmingshan, Ye Qianwen crawled to the destination panting. The master first made a bowl of beef fried rice for her, and then taught her songs. Li Taixiang was very satisfied with Ye Qianwen's voice and savvy, but Ye Qianwen was unwilling to learn it anymore: first, climbing the mountain was too hard; second, Li Taixiang's songs were not popular and had no melody, which she didn't like.
However, Ye Qianwen eventually became a master's disciple. There was no other reason, but one thing-beef fried rice was too fragrant, and Li Taixiang agreed that as long as she came, she would have food. Hey, the biggest sorrow of being a foodie is here-it is easy to be caught by the weakness.
Ye Qianwen recalled: "Until now, I still remember that meal more than that song." So, after she re-opened her voice in Hong Kong in 1984, she completely said goodbye to her past style, and she no longer had the shadow of Li Taixiang. .
