Until now, Li Xiaoyan in Pisces always keeps his head down when talking to people he doesn't know.
Li Xiaoyan, an Anhui girl, thinks that she will have an indissoluble bond with singing.
Just out of school, she began to sing from south to north with her brothers and sisters. In Guangzhou, she was lucky enough to meet the famous musician Chen. On his recommendation, she became attached to Wang Xiaojing, who was known as "Music Bole" at that time. To give up wandering, 1993 came to Beijing. With the help of Wang Xiaojing, she recorded a gorgeous single "The Season of Pursuing Love".
At first, everything went well. 1In August, 994, Li Xiaoyan signed a contract with Beijing Hongtai and became a school sister of Panther. Because her voice is close to Panther, and she is very young, she has another title "Bao Mei". The first album, Bao Mei Li Xiaoyan, was released in May the following year. This heavy and gorgeous female voice with a metallic texture also helped Li Xiaoyan establish her position as a heavyweight rock girl in the mainland music scene.
Li Xiaoyan misses her time in Hongtai. At that time, everyone was passionate about music and was ready to do something. As for her, don't think about anything else, just sing her own songs. The company also plans to let her take an international route and form a band for her. However, the disturbance of the Panthers later dealt a blow to Hongtai, and Li Xiaoyan was also affected. For a long time, she had nothing to do After the two-year contract expired, she signed a Zhang Weixing disc.
Signing the astrolabe also directly brought about the change of Li Xiaoyan's identity. Talking about the experience of DVD, she smiled bitterly: I really learned a lot! Before, all she wanted was that she sang well. Now, she needs to go out and deal with people and sell herself to them. Under the more commercial operation mode of DVD, she has changed from a singer to an artist. However, this change of identity made Li Xiaoyan feel at a loss, and her time on DVD was almost nothing. Later, she signed a contract with a company called Wannianhong and produced some singles, but in the face of her identity as an artist, she finally lost.
At that time, Li Xiaoyan used to wear short-haired sunglasses and a rock-and-roll style, but on the day of the interview, I couldn't believe that this light girl with a embarrassed and nervous face was Li Xiaoyan, who was called "Bao Mei" at that time.
Li Xiaoyan went to an interview with her sister. At first, she hardly spoke. It was not until she talked with reporters about some speculative topics that she slowly let go of her formality. At first, I thought this change was just a sequela of identity change, but Li Xiaoyan said that her biggest problem was that she was introverted, did not like talking, and could not speak. Once, the boss of a record company took these singers to an activity in order to let them know more people. As a result, everyone was chatting enthusiastically, and only she was silent in the corner, so that she was ignored.
Until now, Li Xiaoyan in Pisces always keeps his head down when talking to people he doesn't know. No sooner had he said two words than he smiled shyly and didn't know how to go on.
Besides, Li Xiaoyan is a person who refuses to compromise and does not know how to be flexible. I once sang the theme song for a TV series. After the recording, people raised their pitch. As a result, she asked people not to sign her name, because it was not her original thing. She was also invited to participate in some performances or activities, but she refused, always feeling that she didn't have a new song "I won't be ashamed".
Li Xiaoyan also knows the weakness of his personality, which doesn't mean that he doesn't want to change. Now she runs a bar with her sister and meets many people every day. She said that she had become much better.
Although Li Xiaoyan has been positioned as a rock singer from the beginning, we will find that there is always some tenderness in her songs if we listen carefully to the songs that made her famous, such as "Leave it to me" or "Together forever". Li Xiaoyan, who is becoming more and more mature, has always had a regret that the gray lyrics of heavy metal orchestration have branded her with too much rock and roll, while she prefers black singers and listens to soul music, jazz and other more infectious music. She hopes that her voice and thoughts can be more fully displayed.
But few people will take the initiative to tap this kind of demand in her heart, not to mention that she is still a poor speaker. 1997, she sang the theme song "Hero" for the TV series "Heroes Without Regret", and finally made a big adjustment in style. This song received a good response in that year, so Li Xiaoyan can almost make a comeback. However, it is difficult to change people's attitude towards Li Xiaoyan's mindset through a song. In 2000, Li Xiaoyan joined Wan Nianhong and released a public service song "A Couple". Although the quality of her voice is amazing again, this song is unacceptable to many people who are familiar with her music. When she was doing a program on TV, the host once said to her rudely, why do you sing such a vulgar song!
Li Xiaoyan herself thinks that she is more suitable for singing that kind of atmospheric song, which can reflect the amplitude of the voice, has flavor in emotional expression, and has something to taste and ponder. However, it is difficult for such songs to become the mainstream of music. More importantly, she has never found a song that suits her very well. Few people can really walk into her heart, find her characteristics, and then make a song that can make her play incisively and vividly. There are some musicians she admires very much, such as Sambo, but she definitely has to wait in line, and all kinds of expenses are not entirely within her affordability.
But she is still trying, still looking forward to, looking for.
