When Zhou Chuanxiong was born in Taiwan in the summer of 1969, his 17-year-old father who was a county magistrate was 50 years old, his mother was 30 years old, his fifth wife, and Zhou Chuanxiong was his 18th child. Also the youngest child...
At that time, my dad had traveled from his hometown in Hubei to Taiwan for many years. He worked at the airport in Taichung. Although the scenery was not as good as before, his income was good.
Zhou Chuanxiong has been crying since he was a child, and he almost died of a serious illness when he was one or two years old. He finally got his life back, so his parents spoiled him very much.
When a child finds that crying can solve all problems, he will naturally use this "weapon" frequently. 's parents saw him cry so much, they hoped that he would be strong, and they gave him the nickname "Xiaogang".
Xiaogang liked to sing when he was a child. Whenever a guest visits, his father would call Xiaogang out and say: "Son, sing a song to the guests!"
Xiaogang also feels very happy, eating and importing You can enjoy snacks, go to a private school, climb trees and play in your own orchard, pick some lychees to eat when you are tired, and have a good time.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and my father suddenly left his family and ran back to the mainland, which caused the quality of life of Xiaogang's mother and son to be much worse than before. Later, after supporting for several years, my mother finally chose to leave home and remarry.
At this time, the two elder brothers have grown up, and Xiaogang, who is in junior high school, can only depend on his sister.
This made Xiaogang 's young mind suffer 10,000 points of crit, and began to fear marriage , which paved the way for his ups and downs in the emotional story in the future.

In 1985, due to the high fees of private schools, 16-year-old Xiaogang had no choice but to work as a student without relying on it. After finishes class every day, he goes to work at the "Youth Club" and stands at the door to collect tickets and check documents.
But the money is still not enough. So during the holidays, he borrowed his brother’s license to drive a taxi secretly, and continued to work in the Youth Club at night. When he got off work at 22:00, he sold earrings at a roadside stall...
In addition, he also worked as a decorator and porter. , Plumbers, swimming coaches, etc.
has changed from a beloved little boy to a juvenile worker. These ups and downs in life have helped him develop a pragmatic character. But in the face of this encounter, he was a little excited, because: can finally chase the music dream as much as possible!
Parents were not optimistic about singing. They believed that artists can only become famous after death, so reading is the right way. Now they are gone, although life is a bit difficult, but finally no one cares, they can decide the future by themselves.
At the same time, Xiaogang, who is in his youth, has a crush on a Virgo female classmate in the class. girls often sneak into dreams with the wind, making him linger. However, Xiaogang, who faced his sweetheart, was extremely timid and didn't dare to take it up.slander. The two of
didn't communicate much in the first three years. Later, they were a little bolder and dared to ask the girl out to play. But he never dared to confess, and carefully maintained his friend's emotions, worried that his friend would not even have to do it after the failure of the confession.
Finally, he confided his affection very implicitly, but he himself was not sure whether the girl understood. Later, the girl went abroad, this beautiful secret love that lasted for 7 years, not only did not result, even the flowers did not have time to bloom.
In order to commemorate this pure feeling and the first love in his dream, he wrote a little miss into a song called "Notepad". is exactly this song, which opened his fate with another beautiful woman in the future.

In 1987, the 18-year-old Xiaogang was admitted to Southeast Technical College and participated in the "Inter-School Music Composition Competition", but his results were not satisfactory. But he was still not discouraged, and it didn't take long before he formed a band with a few friends.
What he did not expect is that he is determined to make music for a long time, but the other members play the guitar more for picking up girls. They are all studying women’s measurements and the “Tetris” gameplay. They have no interest in music at all. Shang Xin, this made him feel deeply dragged down by his teammates...
In 1988, 19-year-old Xiaogang participated in the "Taiwan Campus Singing Competition" and was favored by Taiwan Kaili Company and invited him and two other boys, Lin Jinhui and Huang Ying Hun, form an orchestra.
The company arranged for them to be the assistants of the host in the popular program "Youth Confrontation", which is to sing, dance and gag, in order to increase the viewing and interesting of the program.
turned out to be forming a team. Huang Yingxun received an invitation from the film male number one and ran away happily. Lin Jinhui also felt unreliable, and moved to another band called "Rolling Stone Boys". The
company arranged for Xiaogang to meet with the "spare tire" members, and Xiaogang thought about it and chose to quit. The reason
does this is because dancing and performing a backflip, and Xiaogang's body language is not good. Second, he believes that the road to idols will not last long, and his goal is to be a real musician. The third is the unpleasant experience of grouping, which caused him to want to develop alone.
But what everyone didn’t expect was that, next, a new combination of “spare tires” members swept through the wasteland with a tornado, not only robbed the host of the limelight, but also took less than half a year. The time has become popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Immediately afterwards, they became popular in Asia again. With just two albums "Easy Travel" and "Love", they cut nearly 15 million horror sales, setting a record of over 20 concert venues full of venues. The name of this combination
is "Little Tigers". The three regular "spare tires" are famous: Su Youpeng, Wu Qilong, and Chen Zhipeng.
is like Huang Bo in the movie and wins the lottery ticket, but lives on a deserted island and misses the date of redemption.Seeing the popularity of the "Little Tigers", Xiao Gang expressed a bit of envy, but did not regret it.
and he himself, with the blessing of talent, quickly became popular, and was once again teased by fate.
Four,
Although Xiaogang did not dare to confess his first love, he was very bold to other girls.
It is rumored that he had a fierce fight with a senior at university. She broke up because she thought he was not mature enough. Later, he defeated the rich second-generation rival and attracted another girl.
Moreover, he also loves to watch porn videos. It is rumored that there are thousands of them in the hard drive and he is happy to share them with friends.
But Xiaogang said that it was not an A film, it was an R film. What's the difference? The quality of the A film is rough and bloody, and the R film is full of artistic quality, which is in line with his artist's temperament.
With these observations and experiences of love, he wrote love songs, it is really handy and easy to catch.
Because of his clean appearance, beautiful and handsome voice, and a very magnetic voice, after rejecting the "Little Tigers", he quickly gained the appreciation of the owner of Kolin Records. More than a dozen people in the company only serve him alone, trying to make him an idol.
But the boss also has a concern, that is, his name "Zhou Chuanxiong" is hard to remember, and it sounds like he is very old. Finally, the two sides combined, the boss decided to let him make his debut under the nickname "Xiaogang".
Although this stage name is as common as "Xiao Ming", it is easy to remember. In 1990, the 21-year-old Xiaogang released his first music album "Gemini's Dialogue", which sold well and opened up popularity.
When shooting the MV for the main song "A Day Without You", the production team invited Vivian, the girlfriend of Xiaogang's friend, to be the heroine. Vivian is a flight attendant with long hair and beautiful face.
Later she broke up with her boyfriend, and then she became Xiaogang's girlfriend. Although this is after the breakup, it is not a smashing love, but because of this, the friend has a pimple in his heart, and he forgives Xiaogang until many years later.
At the end of that year, the record company took advantage of the heat to release his second music album "Finally Learned" for him. Xiaogang suddenly realized that he was on fire.
There was a time when the company arranged for him to go to a department store for a business performance. When he was about to reach his destination, he found that the road was crowded with people and water was blocked. With such a big battle at , he thought it was Andy Lau who came, but unexpectedly, these fans were waiting for him!
Xiaogang was in his junior year at the time. He was young and frivolous, complacent, and treated love more casually. In addition to his girlfriend Vivian,
is also in love with other girls. What's more, he also confessed his relationship with other girls to his girlfriend... How can
be such a scum for Mao? Due to the influence of his parents, Xiaogang decided to become a non-marriage activist, not to mention children.
He felt that his girlfriend Vivian was just a "horse", and even said to her: "If you want to get married and have children, you can leave me if you have the right person."
but Vivian is very affectionate for him, so he chose Tolerant.
Xiaogang is not only proud of love, but also even more proud of his career. It happened that Zhang Xinzhe, who was 2 years older than him, was serving in the military.
He also lived up to expectations. In 1992, he released the fourth music album "Xiaogang's Flower World" . The song " Hasa Yaqi " combines ancient and modern elements, and the melody sounds swaying in the wind and has become popular in Taiwan. Streets and alleys.
This song was written, composed, and sung by Xiaogang himself, establishing his status as a "creative idol singer".
How hot is he? It is said that the owner of a video store has issued a reward, if anyone can get 10,000 albums of Xiaogang, let him be his daughter's boyfriend!
Xiaogang completely floated into the air as a result, and later directly founded a music company by himself.
Lost in the middle of the day, and loss when the moon is full. Maybe it's because God couldn't understand his arrogant appearance, and a slap brought him to the bottom.
V.
In 1993, Xiaogang, who was full of ambitions for music, went to the "Silk Road" in the northwestern region and then moved to Yunnan to collect the wind, only to produce a world-class Chinese album.
However, the song has always been high and widowed. The album "Follow me to the end of the world", which he placed high hopes on, did not sell well and was not recognized by the market. What makes
even worse is that just two months later, Zhang Xinzhe finished his military service and created a new album. The song "Love Like Tide" broke through the sky and became a phenomenal classic.
Xiaogang immediately stunned after hearing it: "It's over, I'm going to fall."
At this moment, the difficulties seemed to be discussed, and they came to visit in groups. Because he didn't know anything about the company, burned tens of millions of Taiwan dollars in just two years, and lost his fortune...
In 1995, 26-year-old Xiaogang changed to Seed Music Company. Unexpectedly, the 28-year-old Zhang Xinzhe also joined the company due to the expiration of the contract. At this time, Xiaogang, who was the "Prince of Love Song", was quickly marginalized, with a similar style.
At the end of 1996, after releasing the album " my heart is too messy ", Xiaogang caught up with the international giant's acquisition of Taiwan record company.
The new bosses have brought new rules. They are generally enthusiastic about newcomers. Xiaogang, who is under 30 years old, is regarded as a low-value Mesozoic singer...
, a singer who once became popular in Taiwan, just lost his job. He originally thought he had many friends, but now he understands: Although the streets are busy, the inner streets are empty.
was embarrassed and had to sell the house and stay with his sister temporarily. Although her brother-in-law is kind-hearted, she has a violent temper and often scolds her sister. He, who is under the fence, is not easy to come forward to mediate.
Later, he left Taiwan and flew to Canada. When he had no money, he did some casual work, leaving himself as barren as a weed. But somehow, he always couldn't help entering the record store.
Like an occupational disease, he always compares the pros and cons of his albums and buys them when he encounters a good one. Gradually, his heart brightened: since has always loved music, why not kill it back? After clarifying his direction, he decided to return to Taiwan to do behind-the-scenes production. The original Xiaogang is already "dead". Next, Zhou Chuanxiong's time came.
Six,
The stars that never sleep started his journey. But starting anew is destined to endure a lot of hardships. Because of his young age, he simply grew long hair and beard to make himself look more mature.
However, this kind of image change has no effect. throughout 1997, he did not sell a single song, and even a record company killed him forty or fifty songs one after another...
Zhou Chuanxiong still worked tirelessly to write songs, not letting go of any opportunities. Because I often stay up late, dark circles firmly guard my eyes. He keeps encouraging himself in his heart: as long as does a good job, someone will appreciate it.
Kung fu pays off, a call in 1998 brought a turnaround. At that time, the idol singer Zhang Kefan wanted to transform, the record company contacted Zhou Chuanxiong and invited him to make a new album.
Zhou Chuanxiong got this great opportunity to devote himself to creating, throwing himself in the recording studio every day, recording songs besides eating. After half a year of meticulous polishing, he finally helped Zhang Kefan produced the new album "Lonely Bombing" . After the release of the album
, it set a sales record of six platinum. The title song of the same name was affectionate, which impressed countless fans.
singers can win the admiration of fans, and producers can gain status as a quagmire. At , people in the music circle asked: Who is Zhou Chuanxiong? The result is shocking, he is actually the former idol singer Xiao Gang!
turned red Zhou Chuanxiong, quickly attracted the attention of more singers. Kelly Chen of Hong Kong wanted to expand the Mandarin market and was the first to invite him to create new songs.
Zhou Chuanxiong discovered that Chen Huilin was a Virgo, just like his first love girlfriend, he gave Chen Huilin the "Notepad" written for first love. This lingering and emotionally sad song, once released, quickly swept the major charts.
After this seamless cooperation, the two became very good friends. Zhou Chuanxiong even said that the elegant and beautiful Chen Huilin is her dream lover.
But because of the shadow of his first love, he feels at odds with the Virgo girl.Dare to chase after all.
In 2000, Na Ying, the "big sister" in the mainland music scene, also issued an invitation to him. He once again made an extraordinary shot, and composed a song called "Betrayal", which became the top ten golden tunes in the mainland that year.
created 3 hits one after another, and Zhou Chuanxiong's fame skyrocketed. At the end of that year, Sony Records handed him an olive branch.
Zhou Chuanxiong, who loves to sing, immediately agreed to the invitation and sang masterpieces such as "Lonely Bombing", "Notepad" and "The Betrayal", and composed 6 new songs such as " twilight " and "forget", synthesizing the album "Transfer".
Zhou Chuanxiong, who returned to the music scene, had a longing for the future, but was once again teased by fate. The
album was only released for one month. Sony’s senior personnel changed, and the boss with whom he was connected was replaced. All publicity stopped, and album sales were naturally bleak.
After this blow, Zhou Chuanxiong's vitality was greatly injured, and he began to be a behind-the-scenes producer with all his heart. He created "Is there a song on that reminds you of me " for Zhou Huajian, "Eternal Night" for Ren Xianqi, and "For 5566" I'm sad".
At the same time, he also entered the film and television industry, dominating the opening song, ending song and episode of the TV series "Lavender", and made a cameo appearance in the drama "Toshio Komuro", the taciturn and cold-looking music godfather.
Isn't it true that you have missed the singer in this life? 's impermanent destiny blinks naughty like a star, and a trip to the mainland brings new opportunities.
Seven,
In 2001, the mainland singer Man Wenjun invited Zhou Chuanxiong to produce an album. After the production was completed, he went to the video store to do market research.
unexpectedly saw his own album "Transfer", and then took a closer look: it turned out to be a pirated version!
Zhou Chuanxiong was puzzled at first, a little angry, and then suddenly became excited: has pirated copies, that means it must be popular!
He bought 3 pirated discs of different versions and went back as a souvenir. After
went to other video stores, he found many new versions. In the end, bought more than 100 pirated discs of different versions. Only then did he realize that he was really hot in the mainland!
, especially the song " twilight " in the album, tells the disillusionment of love in a sad and sad tune. Watching something disappear, but there is no way to keep it, this kind of confused and subtle sentiment has moved countless people. audience.
once thought that the identity of a singer flew into the sky like a broken kite, but now it falls in front of her eyes again. Witnessed by hundreds of pirated discs, Zhou Chuanxiong finally regained his identity as a singer.
also in this year, Zhou Chuanxiong completely changed the concept of love. He has had many girlfriends, three of which are unforgettable. But in the years when it fell to the bottomHere, only Vivian will never leave.
Seeing Vivian get older, the prospective mother-in-law said directly to him: "If you don't have any more children, you won't be able to give birth in the future." , Secretly married in November.
It is said that they had one son and one daughter after marriage, but Zhou Chuanxiong paid special attention to privacy, and it was not until 13 years later that the media photographed his wife. As for those girlfriends when they were young, they are even more vague and difficult to know.
In 2003, after two years of meticulous preparation, the 34-year-old Zhou Chuanxiong re-emerged as a singer again, composed and sang classic songs such as " man ocean ", "lonely sandbar cold" and "blue Turkey".
Among them, " Lonely Sand Chau Leng" is particularly classic, rich in ancient meaning, and inspired by Su Shi's "Bu Suanzi·Huangzhou Dinghui Yuan Residence", full of the lonely and sad Song Ci artistic conception, and it floats "Choose the cold branches will not be willing" The emotion of “sleeping”.
By virtue of a widely sung "Divine Comedy", Zhou Chuanxiong's reputation reached its peak, and even in Taiwan at that time, it was directly called "Biweekly Legend" with Jay Chou and .
Take off the coat of the idol, walk through the dark night behind the scenes, Zhou Chuanxiong has become the legendary "kaxiong". But the arrival of an unexpected guest disrupted all his rhythms.
8. The uninvited guest of
is not a person, but a disease.
In 2011, 42-year-old Zhou Chuanxiong suffered from stomach problems and began to lose weight. He was very happy at the time, thinking it was not a serious illness, so he would lose weight.
didn't expect to get worse later, when I went to the hospital for an examination, the stomach was infected with Helicobacter pylori. As the early treatment time was missed, the condition deteriorated sharply, and every meal should be chewed at least 20 times, otherwise the stomach would be difficult to digest.
In three years, Zhou Chuanxiong's weight has lost a full 40 pounds. With a height of 1 meter 78 and a weight of only 49 kilograms, he has become a piece of paper.
Fortunately, his wife Vivian took good care of him, and his health gradually improved. originally thought that love would turn into family affection after marriage, but after this time of mutual affection, family affection once again sublimated into love.
In 2014, he was photographed by the media when he and his wife went to the supermarket to buy groceries. The thin Zhou Chuanxiong caused countless distress, and his wife, who had been hiding for 13 years, was exposed to the public for the first time.
and this kind of privacy protection also brought him troubles. Because of his gentle and refined appearance and a very "acceptable" appearance, rumors about him as a "comrade" are rampant, and some people even call him a "fake marriage, a true comrade."
Fortunately, he is a mentor and helpful friend who is willing to share. Those who have watched his pornography said: "Jing nonsense. Of course Zhou Chuanxiong loves women." The era of rapid fall. When his condition improved and came back again, the declining music scene had gradually lost his place.
In recent years, news of Zhou Chuanxiong's business performances in third- and fourth-tier cities has continued to spread. The humble stage, poor-quality speakers, indifferent people, eye-catching advertising banners behind him... But he still sang very seriously.
This year, there has been another famous scene of " tutor Meng Meiqi commenting on Zhou Chuanxiong ". , who was nearly 30 years younger than the traffic actress who made her debut in the draft, actually sat in the audience and commented on the king-level seniors. This picture was too shocking and naturally detonated the Internet.
But things quickly turned around. Meng Meiqifang claimed that she was not a "mentor" but just a "music partner" of the show. She did not even comment on Zhou Chuanxiong on the show.
Dare we be marketed by the program group again? Well, anyway, the final interpretation right of this event belongs to you.
In this era of the supremacy of traffic, what is the predecessor, data is the kingly way.
writer Raymond Chandler once said: "The tragedy of life is not that beautiful things die young, but that they will become old and humble." Tan, the tiger returns to the mountain. Nowadays, the most popular are all-round entertainers who don’t know how to dance. Who will watch you sing?
The colorful world in front of us is no longer the colorful world back then. Times have changed, Teacher Xiaogang.
But no matter how the world turns or how times change, you are always the "godfather of love songs" in the hearts of fans!
