The most typical may. Old four remembers 1996 or 1997 or so. May is so hot that it is untouchable. There was a little silence in these years, but it revived with the help of a good voice. In the previous stage, it was rumored that May began to participate in the second season of The Singer, but later she didn't. Hong Tao apologized with tears. Today, Old Four is going to talk about May and Mei's mentor, Zhang Depei.
May is on the stage of good voice.
Tom Chang's popularity at that time must have been known to old fans, and a song "The Sea" was a household name. Unfortunately, Tom Chang died in a car accident on June1997+065438+1October 2 1. After the death of Tom Zhang, A-mei couldn't find his own music direction without the help of his mentor. Before that, it can be said that the direction of A-mei's music development was very clear, and there were many classic works at that time. 1995, A-mei sang in a bar in Taipei. The owner of the bar is her cousin. Suddenly one day, her cousin said to her, "You should sing well today, and your idol Tom Zhang will come to hear you sing." May was very excited because Zhang Dongjian was already very popular in Taiwan Province at that time, and he kept thinking about what song he wanted to sing to express his idol. Later, A-mei sang Whitney Houston's I Will Love You Forever. This song is known to many people, and it is difficult to deal with both the singing and the form. Although he didn't sing very well for the first time, May found that Tom Zhang came to listen to him sing every day. Later, Tom Zhang said, "I think you are a creative material. Listening every day is to listen to how wide your range is and see your control ability, because you must be very nervous when you see me on the first day, and I can't play my normal level. " Later, Tom Zhang promised to write a song for May, and then took him to the recording studio for recording.
Tom Chang
May, who has never been in a recording studio, met an interesting thing. Anyone who has been to the recording studio knows that he can hear his breathing clearly when he walks to the headset. At that time, May thought that his breathing affected the effect. He held his breath while recording the song, and he was afraid to speak. Tom Zhang was outside the studio. When she found out, she asked what had happened. She was startled when she saw May's face flushed and her veins stood out. Then I told her it was okay. This is normal, although it is good to sing freely. That's it. After Zhang Dongjian's careful training and guidance, A-mei formally entered the music hall. At that time, she and Tom Chang collaborated on a song "The one I love the most hurts me the most". That is, with this song, more people in Taipei know A-mei. It was the same in those days. It is easy for girls to cover boys' songs, but it is often difficult for boys to cover girls' songs. In my impression, the cover of How Much Love Can Be Repeatable by Dick and Cowboy at that time was a typical male cover. According to this rule, Tom Chang felt that A-mei had no problem covering her own songs. Naturally, May became a little angry. 1At the end of 996, Zhang Dongjian released the first album Sisters for A-Mei, which also laid the foundation for A-Mei's future music in Taiwan.
1997, Tom Zhang created the album "Bad Boys" for May. These two records were completely burned in Taiwan Province Province and later spread to the mainland. 1997 and 1998, all the streets and alleys in mainland China are filled with May's songs. Therefore, without Zhang Dongjian's precise positioning and creation of A-mei, there would be no today. On the contrary, why does Zhang Dongjian support May? At first, Tom Zhang's company intended to promote A-mei, but Tom Zhang supported it! As a high-level music producer, no less than Jonathan Lee, Emil Wakin Chau and others, he decided that A-Mei was an international model! There is a saying that national is international. As a native of Taiwan Province, May has a very strong wild beauty. Besides her voice and appearance, May is good at singing and dancing, and she is also very open on the stage. By the same token, Michael Jackson, besides songs, we also like to watch his handsome spacewalk. Britney Spears not only sings well, but also dances well. Language may be incomprehensible, but body language can be understood by people all over the world. So at that time, Tom Zhang decided that May was a material that could be made.

Secondly, they hit it off and trust each other. They both had similar experiences. May regretted not winning the championship because his father was very ill and forgot his words. His father always hopes that he can win the championship. Before his death, May signed up for boxing again, but when he won the championship, he became a grave sweeper with a trophy and suffered bereavement. But his father is indeed a staunch supporter of May's singing path. Tom Zhang had a similar experience. Tom Chang's sister, Ayu, likes singing very much. At that time, Tom often accompanied her sister and loved her very much. However, something unexpected happened. Her sister drowned at the age of 15. Tom Zhang, in great pain, began to sing in order to give her a dream when her sister resumed music. The song "I miss you every day" has been her sister's song for several years. Therefore, their similar experience is that they have a lot in common. Tom Zhang's mother's name is A Mei. They thought it was God's fate, so Tom Zhang cultivated May seriously.
However, God sometimes fails to become an adult, and a great event happened in the process. 19971On October 20th, Tom Chang met a car accident on his way home from work at night. The car accident caused Tom Chang to be in a coma and was taken to the hospital. The doctor said it was not optimistic at all. At this time, Tom Chang's record company decided to temporarily record a record, which brought together all the first-class clips, recordings, artists, lyrics, composers and singers. What's the purpose? First of all, cheer up Tom Zhang, who is in a coma, and hope he can come back to life. The second is to sell records to bear the cost of treatment. Listen to Me, a classic song in memory of Zhang Dongjian, was produced at that time. Unfortunately, although the record sold well, Tom Zhang didn't wake up. 1997 was 165438+2 1, and he died. At that time, May couldn't accept it. Later, we also saw that in this watershed, A-mei, which had a clear development and accurate road positioning before, has been a rock fan, a hip-hop fan and a national style since then. For a period of time, she could never find her accurate position, and the number and speed of classic works were far less than that of Tom Zhang at that time. Therefore, in May's heart, no one can take the place of Zhang Depei. This is the rebirth of parents, the reconstruction of parents, and the absolute teacher. Therefore, whenever May hears something about his teacher Tom Zhang, Want Want will cry.
Tom Zhang and May.
Maybe God really likes listening to music and took Tom Chang away. Now, when we miss Zhang Dongjian again after 20 years, we also wish A-mei better works and sales. If it is true, I hope she can return to the peak and bring more excellent classic songs to the audience.
