In 1990, a new era in the Chinese music scene, the Golden Melody Award was like a bright star rising in the night sky of Chinese music. Time flies, and now this star has been shining for thirty-four years, and it has witnessed the glory and silence of countless singers.
winning the Golden Melody Award is an extremely proud moment for every singer. Some singers' careers flourish after winning this crown, while others are like shooting stars streaking across the night sky, briefly brilliant and then never heard from again. Yin Zhengyang, this name may be a bit unfamiliar to today's young people, but he has left a mark in the history of the Golden Melody Awards.
He is the only winner of three Golden Melody Awards since its inception. This honor still hangs high in the halls of the Chinese music scene, unmatched by anyone. Whenever people mention this record, they can't help but think of Yin Zhengyang's clear and gentle voice, which is like the spring breeze blowing on the face, making people feel warm.
But it was this tenderness that later became an insurmountable gap in his career. Life is like a dream, with ups and downs, and Yin Zhengyang's music career is just like his voice, full of tenderness and ups and downs. His story is like a moving song, with melodious melody but full of vicissitudes of life.
Now, when we look back at Yin Zhengyang’s musical life, we can’t help but wonder: Where is that gentle singer now? Is his voice still as clear and moving as it was then?
Yin Zhengyang: A counterattack legend on the music road
Yin Zhengyang was born in an ordinary working-class family in Taiwan Province. His parents, like many hard-working migrant workers, worked hard to make a living. In such a family environment, Yin Zhengyang's musical dream seemed out of reach. However, his love for music never died out.
During his school days, Yin Zhengyang not only excelled academically, but was also a little singing star on campus. Without professional music guidance, he stood out in singing competitions with his talent and hard work. His mesmerizing voice and moving singing make it impossible to ignore his musical talent.
After graduating from high school, Yin Zhengyang was admitted to the Department of Physics of National Central University, but his heart never left music. He bought a guitar with the money he saved from working and practiced it day after day.
In the university's club activities, he met a group of like-minded friends and formed his own band. Their band gradually became famous both inside and outside the campus, and Yin Zhengyang became the most popular campus singer in the university.
However, just as Yin Zhengyang's music road was getting wider and wider, he faced a huge challenge - enlisting in the army. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the nascent music career. But fortunately, his record company took a fancy to his potential and made a two-year contract with him, looking forward to his wonderful performance after his return.
After completing his military service, Yin Zhengyang returned to the music scene as a newcomer. With his understanding of life and passion for music, he created many songs that are deeply loved by people. His singing was like a breath of fresh air, stirring up the stagnant waters of the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene at that time.
The Legendary Road of the Three Golden Singers: Music Storm
After returning from the army, Yin Zhengyang signed a contract with a record company and received professional music guidance. His singing and composing skills skyrocketed like a rocket.
Soon, he launched his first album "Sorry in the Rain". This album was like a breath of fresh air, standing out among many musical works and selling like hotcakes, giving Yin Zhengyang a good start in his music career.
Yin Zhengyang's music style tends to be modern folk songs, and his voice is magnetic and charming. Each of his songs is like a eloquent story, which makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves. Such a style was rare in that era, so it was no surprise that he won the Golden Bell Award, and the company's investment in him received a generous return. After
became an instant hit, Yin Zhengyang became a rising star in the music industry. The record company struck while the iron was hot and released his second album "Please Look Back" half a year later.
However, this album failed to cause much reaction because it was rushed. This made Yin Zhengyang realize that the road to music is not always smooth sailing and requires constant hard work and polishing.
So, he settled down and devoted himself to the creation of music. He releases songs at the rate of one album per year, each one carefully crafted and striving for perfection.
Finally, his hard work paid off. The song won the Golden Bell Award again, and also won the Golden Melody Award and the Golden Voice Award. This also made him the only "Three Golden Singer" in history and a symbol of an era.
However, just when he was at his most energetic, Yin Zhengyang chose to retire. This news was like a bolt from the blue, catching fans off guard. They all speculated, what was the reason that made the singer make such a decision?
The unexpected winner of the Golden Melody Award, a helpless recluse in the entertainment industry
In those years, Yin Zhengyang was surrounded by a group of like-minded singer friends, who created and sang together and pursued their music dreams together.
However, with the passage of time, the originally close partners drifted apart due to conflicts of interest, and even turned against each other. This made Yin Zhengyang deeply saddened and strengthened his determination to make the music he likes.
In the competition in the entertainment industry, winning awards often means more opportunities and higher status. However, for Yin Zhengyang, every time he wins an award, he is accompanied by the departure of some friends. This seemed to be an unbreakable curse, making him feel helpless and lonely. Even his father couldn't help but remind him not to offend his friends in the industry just to win awards.
Yin Zhengyang is a smart man, so he naturally understands this truth. Therefore, between the second and fourth Golden Melody Awards, he actively chose to avoid it and did not sign up to participate.
When he changed record companies, the new company signed him up to participate in the 5th Golden Melody Awards. As a result, he won the championship without any suspense, which filled his heart with contradictions and complicated emotions.
In order to avoid offending his friends again, Yin Zhengyang chose to keep a low profile in the second year. He didn't release a new album, but simply covered a few old songs and produced a relatively bland album.
However, this album unexpectedly received widespread praise, and some even thought that he sang better than the original singer. This made Yin Zhengyang feel both happy and embarrassed. He didn't want to offend the original singers.
What made Yin Zhengyang even more unexpected was that the company secretly submitted his cover album to the 6th Golden Melody Award. He knew nothing about it, but when he was invited to serve as an award guest, he happily looked forward to the wonderful performances of other singers.
When the list of champions was announced, he was shocked to find that his name was on the list. This sudden surprise made him feel a little overwhelmed, and also made the singers in the audience show complicated expressions.
After that, Yin Zhengyang never attended the Golden Melody Awards ceremony again. He no longer wants to lose friends because of winning awards, nor does he want to be involved in the right and wrong of the entertainment industry. Coupled with health problems and asthma, he chose to gradually fade out of people's sight.
Conclusion
Time flies by, and when Yin Zhengyang appeared again, he was already middle-aged. He and his wife joined hands to create a heartwarming program "Yin Yuan Xiao Gathering", the name of which cleverly combines their names.
Who says success requires fame? Yin Zhengyang is like a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry. Although his life trajectory is unassuming, he has never tasted failure. He doesn't fight for fame and wealth, and he always treats fame and fortune lightly. Such people may be rare in the entertainment industry, but they are the ones who understand life best and enjoy life the most.
