201365438+1October1kloc-0/At the "20 12 National Song Creation Competition Award Evening" held in Tangxia, Dongguan, a song named "I Love My Wife" conquered all the judges and audience present and won the prize. The songwriter is the same person, Hubei composer-Zhang, a member of China Musicians Association, and a national second-class composer of Hubei Film Studio.
The composer went south to Shenzhen at the age of 38 and drifted north to Beijing at the age of 48. Based on his vicissitudes of work experience, he wrote this song with full love and passion, which attracted the attention of the industry. A few days ago, the reporter interviewed the composer.
Keep close to the pulse of the times and write the truth with love.
Talking about the creative experience of the song "I Love My Wife", Zhang is still excited. He told reporters that his creative process was very accidental. In the winter of 2007, he chatted with Zhu Hai, a famous CCTV planner, in a coffee shop in Beijing. That day happened to be his wife's birthday, so he sent a short message to his wife in Hubei: "There is no silver, and there is no need for a thousand words. SMS took away my feelings and intentions. " After Zhu Hai saw it, he suggested that he write a song for all the wives of migrant workers in the world. So he wrote this song "I love my wife" with deep affection. Zhang also said that love can give people passion and strength, stimulate unlimited imagination and creativity, and make life warm, romantic and infinitely beautiful. Love is not only sweet words and vows, but also dedication, dedication, loyalty and responsibility. True love is the coincidence of hearts, the docking of feelings, the communication of souls and the companionship of life.
Because this song closely follows the pulse of the times and writes what he called "the soul is interlinked, and life goes with it", it aroused the deep voice of the whole class of migrant workers as soon as it was born. Under this background, in the process of economic transformation of the whole country, countless migrant workers have worked hard outside, which not only created income for themselves, but also made indelible contributions to national development. They left their hometown, their wives and children, and worked hard outside. It is normal for them to miss their wives and children strongly. Therefore, after this song was broadcast on CCTV's "China Love" column, it attracted enthusiastic pursuit, which led to the emergence of multiple versions of online MV. A listener wrote to him and said, "I have listened to this song several times in a row, which undoubtedly gave us men a profound reflection and touch." This song is pleasant to listen to, catchy and easy to understand, calling for countless emotional memories and passions left for every couple. "
Many experts also spoke highly of this song. Meng Weidong, a famous composer and vice chairman of the China Musicians Association, said: The author from Hubei Province wrote songs reflecting life stories with his heart, which is very touching! Another musician present said with emotion, "Songs are regarded as art and Chun Xue; Migrant workers are the bottom of society and are considered as "chin beauties". This song is both beautiful and easy to understand, which combines the two.
When talking about the creative achievements of this song, Zhang said: "This song can win an award in a national professional competition, which shows me that the expert judges and the people have the same vision and shoot with the voice of the public. Because it is written with true love, it can cause a wide range of * * * "
Pursue your dreams, keep writing, and make great achievements.
Zhang has created film and television music, symphonies and various vocal works for many years. He once wrote songs for famous singers such as Zhang Ye, David Jiang, Liu Bin, Wan Shanhong and Li Danyang, and his masterpiece "Looking at the Moon in the South Lake" is well known.
Looking at the South Lake and the Bright Moon is a song written by Zhang to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Party. The lyricist of this song is Qu Cong, who is famous for I Love You, China. The lyrics give a panoramic summary of the 80-year history of the founding of the Party, which is full of affection, tragic and passionate, and it is not difficult to create. At that time, after receiving the lyrics, Zhang excitedly spent an all-night writing the first draft. After repeated deliberation with singer Zhang Ye, his positioning of the tune is: based on national style and Jiangnan flavor, it is both euphemistic and lyrical. The final song was passed on to CCTV and Zhang Ye, and soon got a positive answer. Zhang also called to express his excitement: "Teacher Zhang, the song you wrote is really beautiful."
The song was well received by all parties as soon as it was recorded. Yang Dongsheng, the general director of CCTV party, said: "The first two sentences of this song are beautiful, and the climax part is very passionate and very good!" Ou Jianping, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Art, commented: "A revolutionary song praising the party can be written so beautifully and moving, which is rare in recent years. It is really a masterpiece." Therefore, this song was first sung by Zhang Ye at the 80th anniversary party of CCTV, and it spread all over the country at once. So far, there are nearly a thousand online dance teaching and square dance videos about "Looking at the Moon in the South Lake".
Everyone who has had contact with Zhang feels that there is always a passion in him, which should be said to be a very rare quality that an artist should maintain. Most of his music works are full of enthusiasm and beautiful melody, which makes people passionate, evokes good memories and makes people feel the same. Over the years, Zhang has also composed music works such as Where Did You Come Back, Soldiers Always Carry Stars, I can't forget you, Soldiers' Children's Choir, symphonic film Sincerity, Water Margin, and TV series Reserve Officers. Zhang said that a truly artistic composer can only create songs worthy of this great era, with beautiful melody and popularity if he is indifferent to fame and fortune and takes root in life for a long time.
Vicissitudes and tribulations become the source and material of creation.
As a musician, going south to Shenzhen at the age of 38 and drifting north to Beijing at the age of 48 became Zhang's most remarkable life feature. This vagrancy has accumulated rich creative sources and materials for him. Talking about the creative experience of I Love My Wife, Zhang said, "Thank you for your life. This award makes me feel that life is the source of creation. Thanks for suffering, thanks for vicissitudes; Be loyal to your heart and be loyal to life. "
Zhang grew up in the former Wuhan Military Region compound. His parents are both soldiers, and he likes music since he was a child. I have studied violin, accordion and horn. As a soldier in his early years, he taught himself to compose music in the army, then received training in the art troupe and military orchestra, and studied piano hard in Wuhan Conservatory of Music for two years. The real systematic learning is accomplished through correspondence education (Theoretical Composition Department of China Correspondence Conservatory of Music).
1992 After Deng Xiaoping's southern tour speech, a wave swept through China. Under the influence of this wave, 1994, Zhang Nan, who was over 38 years old, started his journey in Shenzhen. In this young city of Shenzhen, it is still far away from his dream of music creation. In order to make a living, he did planning, etiquette service, sold songs and CDs, bombed in nightclubs, and cycled through the streets of Shenzhen. Nevertheless, Zhang's dream of pursuing music has never changed. During this period, he composed songs such as "Red Flower of that Year" reflecting the life of educated youth, "Where did you come back" with military theme, and "Zhongnanhai, the sea in my heart" which promoted the main theme. Sometimes, even if you fry until late at night, you have to turn on the lights to create when you return to the temporary rented dormitory. At this time, Zhang also realized that life in southern Shenzhen seems to be getting farther and farther away from his musical dream. Coupled with family reasons, he had to choose to leave Shenzhen and return to Wuhan. Life in Wuhan is peaceful and quiet, with plenty of creative time, but no passion and inspiration for creation, which is not in line with Zhang's character. Beijing, as the political and cultural center of China, once again attracted his attention, so in 2004, regardless of his family's opposition, he resolutely left Wuhan again and came to Beijing to start another wandering career-drifting north. This year, he was 48 years old.
In Beijing, he lives near the suburban 798 Art District and works as an artistic director in a music website. During this period, he contacted a large number of music planners, singers, lyricists and composers, and wrote many songs with them. Such as: My Parents, Don't Forget to Write Letters, Soldiers' Children and other songs. I Love My Wife was completed during this period. At the same time, he also helped many people in need with his love and wrote songs for many singers in Beipiao for free. He also helped a girl who was almost completely blind to have cataract surgery. The Beijing Morning Post reported on a large scale that CCTV repeatedly asked to report her story, but he refused politely.
A friend who knows Zhang very well said, "You are a composer who has experienced hardships, but your tenacity and simplicity, and the moral character of a soldier are still so tenacious and powerful, which is really not easy!" Without your life experience of drifting north, you can't write such a good song as "I love my wife". " Ma Lin, a researcher at Shenzhen Comprehensive Development Research Institute, said: "You write songs with your feet instead of your heart-walkers are invincible! Your accumulation becomes the source, and it is generated in an instant. "
After the 2008 Olympic Games, Zhang returned to Wuhan to specialize in music creation. Due to the accumulation of his early life, his creation has entered a mature stage. He writes more than 200 songs every year, as well as symphonies and other works. Many songs are just enjoyed by himself and sung with friends around him. I didn't expect to be indifferent to fame and fortune, but fame and fortune came to my face. What Zhang didn't expect was that a love song with great personality could also win the grand prize. Google search "I love my wife", the search results exceeded 6 million, and there were 245,000 related videos, and his personal music homepage became increasingly popular.
Zhang, a musician who has experienced hardships, has never stopped pursuing his life dream. He has been on the road.
