Swim through a group of ducks under the bridge in front of the gate
Come and count them The pinnacle of entertainment.
In this year, Zhou Xingchi dominated the Hong Kong box office chart, and he was alone in defeat;
In this year, the four kings were born and ruled the music world; The performance at the Grand Theatre of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre caused quite a stir.
But not many people remember it, but this is the first time the mainland has sent a large-scale pop music performance group for cultural exchanges. Moreover, the singers who participated in the performance were the most popular celebrities in the mainland at that time, and many of them are still legends in the Chinese music scene.
singers include Mao Amin , Tengger , Chengfangyuan , Cai Guoqing , Xie Xiaodong , Xie Jin , Sun Nan , Na Ying , Yang Yuying, Tao Jin The art director is Gu Jianfen . [Many singers are students of Gu Jianfen. ]
The selection of songs for this performance not only included the most popular mainland pop songs at that time, but also covered many classic Hong Kong and Taiwan pop songs.
For example, Sun Nan sang Tan Yonglin's "Can't Forget You", Xie Jin sang Lin Yilian 's "Tilt", Xie Xiaodong sang Aaron Kwok 's " Love You " and Liming 's " You Tonight" Will it come to ".
, especially Xie Jin who sang "Tilt", with his avant-garde typhoon and standard Cantonese pronunciation, not only impressed the Hong Kong audience, but also attracted the attention of Hong Kong musicians.
So, after the performance, he was signed by Yi Neng Dynamic Music Records, where Andy Lau was at that time. [In 1993, Sun Nan also signed with Yi Neng Dongyin, and Mao Amin signed with Huaxing, becoming the first batch of mainland singers to enter the Hong Kong circle. ]
What more people don't know is that , the most famous female singing group in China, the Black Ducks, is also born in 1992, and it is also directly related to the "92 Chinese Style Concert". Because they also participated in the show, but they appeared as backing singers, and the audience didn't know who they were.
However, such a successful performance directly gave birth to the female singing group Black Duck.
The Black Ducks who participated in this performance are Li Rong, Xu Xiuxia and Lu Lili .
They all graduated from Central Conservatory of Music . Among them, Li Rong has been the chorus performer of the China Symphony Orchestra Youth and Women's Choir, and Xu Xiuxia and Lu Lili are the violinists of the China Broadcasting Art Troupe Film Symphony Orchestra.
originally consisted of Xu Xiuxia, Lu Lili, and Yin Shuzhan. Since they went to the Conservatory of Music, they have formed a group to do the backstage harmony work together, sang for the star singers at that time, and became well-known in the circle. When
went to Hong Kong to perform in 1992, the core member Yin Shuzhan had already left the team to go abroad.
The appearance of Li Rong allowed this trio of harmony to continue, and through this dazzling performance, it gained a new lease of life. After
, the name of black duck combination The word was officially determined; Li Rong was the vocalist, Lu Lili was the second vocalist, and Xu Xiuxia was the third vocalist.
's newly joined Li Rong is the youngest, but because of her professional background in vocal music, she studied under the tutelage of Professor Yang Hongnian from the Central Conservatory of Music . She has many years of chorus experience, and has a very broad network of contacts in the Beijing music circle.
Therefore, Li Rong serves as the leader of the Black Ducks, and all the Black Ducks' performances, recordings, videos, etc., are contacted by her. [Li Rong's husband is Zhang Haifeng, the former head of the People's Liberation Army Military Band and the commander-in-chief of the Joint Military Band for the 70th National Day Parade. ]
In the impression of many audiences, the black duck mainly covers various popular songs, including red classics, campus ballads , and so on. Anyway, the songs that have been popular on the market over the years will not be without them. They have released countless cover albums, and they have also performed in various cultural evenings, including top stages such as CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, but they all sing other people's songs.
In fact, many people may not know that Black Duck has also sung many original songs. Their first album "Black Duck" is an original disc, and it was tailored for them by many well-known musicians such as Gao Feng . There is one more thing about
that many people don't know, The Black Ducks have been split up for many years .
This year, the Black Ducks have been together for 30 years. However, there have been more than 20 singers who have joined the Black Ducks.
In 1996, Lu Lili quit due to going abroad, Gao Ying and Yang Man were two substitutes, and persisted for 2 years.
In 1998, Guo Qi , a former soloist of the Kongzheng Song and Dance Troupe, joined as a new second voice. After that, the new black duck combination of Li Rong, Guo Qi and Xu Xiuxia stabilized and lasted for 4 years.
In 2002, Black Duck officially split .
Li Rong took Guo Qi and introduced new members Li Wei to form a new black duck.
Xu Xiuxia found her original substitute Yang Man, and found Fan Tongzhou, the teacher of Beijing Modern Conservatory of Music , and formed another new black duck.
Since then, the magical situation of the coexistence of two black ducks has begun. Moreover, the two sides have developed their own development as competitors, and the entanglement has continued for 20 years. The reason for the split of
Black Duck is the contradiction between internal members. As for the content and cause of the contradiction, I am afraid that no one can tell now, but the context can still be rationalized.
Lu Lili's exit in 1996 to Guo Qi's joining in 1998 was an important turning point.
Originally, Xu Xiuxia and Lu Lili were the elders and elder sisters of the Black Ducks, but Li Rong, with her stronger singing skills and network background, firmly occupied the position of team leader and maintained the balance of the entire team. From
to Guo Qi's appearance, this balance was broken.
In 2002, it was revealed that Xu Xiuxia angrily denounced Guo Qi in the recording studio . As a result of the
incident, Guo Qi insisted on quitting the Black Ducks, while Li Rong, the core character of the group, chose to support Guo Qi, which caused Xu Xiuxia's serious dissatisfaction, so the Black Ducks officially broke up.
caused the black duck contradiction to escalate to irreconcilable, and the real reason for the final split is the distribution of interests or the concept of art. There are various opinions from the outside world.
Although Xu Xiuxia is the eldest sister of Black Duck, but after all, she graduated from violin and major; while Li Rong and Guo Qi both graduated from professional vocal music department, and their personal relationship is also better.
In fact, the addition of Guo Qi, a solo singer of the air administration, has improved the singing strength of Black Duck.
So, the Black Duck split is more like a dispute over musical ideas.
However, after 2002, the two groups of black ducks led by Li Rong and Xu Xiuxia had to go to court for a while, but they fought for the rights and interests of the black duck brand.
Xu Xiuxia took the lead in squatting the trademark of Black Duck. In 2003, she also wrote a report letter to CCTV, which disturbed Li Rong's group Black Duck's chance to appear on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.
In 2004, he directly brought the other party to court. Although
finally ended with Xu Xiuxia's withdrawal of the complaint, the grievances between the two groups of black ducks have not been resolved, and they are becoming more and more complicated.
With stronger singing ability and stronger network connections, Li Rong's group Black Duck mainly focuses on large-scale party performances . From CCTV's Spring Festival Gala and various variety shows, China-Japan Friendship Song Party, the same song, Heart to Heart Art Troupe ; to theatrical evenings and star singers concerts on local stations at all levels, they are everywhere.
The Black Ducks of Xu Xiuxia's group also have many opportunities to perform at parties, and the specifications are not low, but they are more active in the audio-visual market, and they have released dozens of new Black Duck albums after they separated. After the split of
Black Duck, the new singers of Xu Xiuxia's group Black Duck, , besides Yang Man and Fan Tongzhou, Ni Yafeng , Li Xinyi, Jiao Hui, Zhang Jixin, Bi Changrong, Yang Mingqi, Li Meixiu , etc.
In 2014, Li Rong began to retreat behind the scenes; in addition to Guo Qi and Li Wei, professional singers Liu Fang and Ni Yafeng who participated in " The Voice of China " were introduced successively.
Ni Yafeng has sung in both groups of black ducks, and he can be considered a legend. What is even more legendary is that, besides Li Rong and Xu Xiuxia, Ni Yafeng also partnered with Fan Tongzhou and Tang Meijia as a black duck.
Therefore, Black Duck was officially established 30 years ago, and the number of members has exceeded 20 from the original 3.
Now, the audience can't tell who and who the black duck is!
