"Singing", my belief in life, "persistence", writing musical legends.
-Interview with young singer Li Chao
I laughed at the sky, sang songs and spread my wings to nirvana.
In this year's Youth Song Competition, some audiences began to get familiar with an emotional voice. He explained every work to the fullest. His songs make people listen to them and hit people's hearts instantly. The singer sang hard and the audience listened with relish. He is a young man from the northeast who sings folk songs all the way-Li Chao. In this year's Youth Song Competition, he achieved his national tenor with solid basic skills, wide range and mellow voice. When he first entered the competition, he was still a young freshman. At that time, with his unique talent and fledgling heroism, he first boarded the stage of CCTV Youth Song Competition. This year's Youth Song Contest attracted more attention from the audience, and the judges and teachers also praised the young and old friend of the Youth Song Contest. The good performance of the top nine in this youth song competition is an affirmation of Li Chao's firm musical belief. Through such competitions, he also gained a better experience. The competition made many experts, judges and audiences know him, which will be the most precious wealth in his life.
Looking back suddenly, success comes from persistence.
Li Chao was born in an ordinary worker's family in Fushun, Liaoning. Although no one in the family is engaged in music-related occupations, he was influenced by his mother and uncle who loved singing since childhood. He likes singing since he was very young, and he has a good voice. When he was a teenager, his parents supported him to receive professional vocal music training, so he was sent to an art school to study vocal music. However, when he graduated from an art school and took the college entrance examination for the first time, he failed because he was in a special period of voice change. After that, he didn't give up his dream of learning music. At that time, when studying in a music training class in Fushun, the teacher advised him to continue his studies. This time, Li Chao was admitted to Fushun Normal University. In his studies, he worked hard and gloriously joined the China * * * Production Party. At this point, the down-to-earth and calm Li Chao began to think about his future life direction. In fact, he can become a primary school music teacher after graduating from college, but he chose to continue to take part in the college entrance examination review.
It is not easy to retake the college entrance examination. It was a gloomy day. Without the focus of censorship and the guidance of famous artists, Li Chao went ahead alone under great pressure. Without firm belief and unremitting efforts, today's music dream may have been lost long ago. It seems that God insisted that he should practice more on the road of following his musical dreams, and then he took the college entrance examination for two years in a row. In 2005, he was finally admitted to the Art College of Northeastern University with the first place in the professional course, studied under Jiang Yiting, and Li Chao, who was admitted to the university again, worked harder. His teacher decided that he would be a shining gold in folk songs, so he was optimistic about him in his freshman year and encouraged him to participate in various competitions. Therefore, during his undergraduate course, he not only made his mark on the stage of the Youth Song Competition, but also won the Golden Bell Award.
After graduation, I was sent to the Conservatory of Music of Minzu University of China for a master's degree with excellent results. At that time, his tutor, Professor Meng Xinyang, Dean of the Conservatory of Music of Minzu University of China, was discerning and accepted as a graduate student decisively, and his singing level was greatly improved under the careful guidance of Teacher Meng. Coming to Minzu University of China not only broadened his horizons, but also gave him more opportunities for artistic practice. In the first year of school, I participated in the celebration party of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Music Department of the Central University for Nationalities, and performed solo and duet. On behalf of the school, he went to Kenya to participate in the China-Africa folk forum exchange performance with the State Ethnic Affairs Commission. 20 1 1 Participate in Macao Youth National Culture Week and The Motherland of the Central University for Nationalities. He also participated in the performance of the large-scale original national opera "Legend of Wood Carving" in the Conservatory of Music of Minzu University of China, in which he played the leading role of Bater. He also participated in the 14th National Youth Singer TV Grand Prix on behalf of the school, and participated in many other performances, which laid a good foundation for his future artistic career. He said that he was very busy but full during his graduate school, and he was very grateful for the support and help from his alma mater. In addition to actively participating in various performances, he scrimped and saved, and used his spare time to teach in the training center in order to reduce the financial burden on his family.
In the past few years, Li Chao has been making continuous progress, and at the same time, he has also gained his sweet love. His girlfriend is a classmate of his undergraduate, and both of them have the same musical dream. Now they have gone through a long love run for eight years, and this girl has become the most important person behind his persistent music path. They have experienced the hardships of life together, and in those days when they struggled for their musical dreams, even a little progress would make them feel satisfied. After graduating from graduate school, many olive branches were thrown at him, but he resolutely decided to become a university teacher. He is willing to share his experience in participating and performing. He believes that he will grow up with students in campus teaching and move forward on the road of music together.
Show simple feelings to the teacher on the road of music.
Li Chao recalled that he was born in an ordinary worker's family. He clearly knows that it is difficult for a worker's child to enter the music hall without meeting his teachers and friends who have helped him on the music road. Li Chao told reporters many unforgettable experiences. When he participated in the Youth Song Competition for the first time, his teacher Jiang Yiting recommended him to participate in the competition on behalf of shenyang military area command Qianjin Art Troupe. At that time, Li Guangde, the head of the troupe, admired him very much and had confidence in him. He also lived up to expectations and played very well in the competition. When he stood out among many contestants, he didn't even have a decent costume. At this time, the troupe specially tailored the costume for him. Before attending the Youth Song Competition for the second time, he accidentally received a phone call from Xu Peidong, so he had the honor to participate in the 13th Youth Song Competition on behalf of Haizheng Cultural and Art Troupe. In the third Youth Song Competition, he participated on behalf of his alma mater, Central University for Nationalities, and his alma mater and mentor, Professor Meng Xinyang, gave him selfless help and encouragement. On behalf of his hometown of Liaoning, he participated in the Youth Song Competition with the strong support and company of TV station leaders, team leader Xiaojun and teacher Yu Yang. Mr. Meng Yong, the songwriter of his entry "Bang Bang Shi Shang", also provided him with the score of the song at the first time, and patiently helped him sort out the work, which made him finish the song well in the competition and left a deep impression on the judges, teachers and audience. The leaders of the Art College of Northeastern University also fully supported him to participate in the competition, and colleagues also came to Beijing to accompany him in folk music accompaniment. Beijing Shi Sheng Goya Musical Instrument Store also provided him with musical instruments and rehearsal venues for free. He said that there are too many people to thank along the way, with the help of teachers and friends and the selfless care of parents and relatives. These motivations and concerns have made him, and he can only repay their concern with continuous progress.
In Li Chao's story, it is not difficult to see that he is moving forward on the music road with a grateful heart. Many musicians always mention this sentence: "To sing a good song, be a good person first!" Now, this simple young man in Northeast China has become a teacher, preaching and teaching under the stage, singing heartily on the stage, and interpreting his magnanimous musical dream.
I hope to be full of new works and sail with the music.
After the Youth Song Competition, Li Chao did not rest, but devoted himself to his work with more enthusiasm. While preparing for the "Golden Bell Award" competition of China music, he was invited to participate in the condolence performance of China Traditional Culture Promotion Association in Daxing District Children's Welfare Institute and the condolence performance of CCTV "Heart to Heart" Art Troupe. Li Chao said: "My girlfriend and I will continue to work hard to realize our musical dreams. We hope to launch our representative works as soon as possible and look forward to the early arrival of our special concert."
Li Chao's wonderful performance in this youth song competition makes everyone expect his future music road to be broader. After the competition, Li Chao also became a hot topic in folk songs. Many musicians encouraged him, hoping that he could become a representative of a new generation of male folk songs and had high hopes for him. Readers, let's pay attention to and support Li Chao and witness the rise of a new generation of male folk singer Ran Ran.
