From "Miao Village Girl" to "National Face of the Spring Festival Evening", what happened to Song Zu Ying, 55?

Well-known folk songs such as Spice Girl, Good Day and Brother Soldier all come from Song Zu Ying.

She is a singer who turns people into pop singers.

He is also a national face singer who has been on the Spring Festival Evening for 24 consecutive years.

There are fewer and fewer appearances now. Where is Song Zu Ying?

1966, Song Zu Ying was born in Miao Village, Guzhang County, Xiangxi, Hunan Province.

She is the eldest daughter of her family, and her family has lived on agriculture for generations.

In a small Guzhang county, there are no stars in the literary and art circles.

This picturesque, lush green forest and strewn at random diaojiao building is called natural oxygen bar.

As the eldest daughter, Song Zu Ying was sensible since childhood. She helps her mother do housework as much as possible.

After graduating from junior high school, I dropped out of school and worked at home. Looking at my hard-working mother, I never dare to complain.

However, such a life often makes Song Zu Ying feel depressed.

Her only solution is to sing,

Whether in the field or on the country road, she always likes to work while humming.

Sometimes mothers cry because of the misfortune of life.

She also sang to amuse her mother.

At that time, she didn't know that concerts were her lifelong career.

198 1 year, Guzhang County Troupe recruited new actors.

Song Zu Ying went to sign up at once, thinking that after becoming an actor, she could ease the financial pressure at home.

At that time, she was only 15 years old and had never learned to sing, let alone perform.

The judges were completely moved by the pure sound of nature.

Song Zu Ying successfully passed the interview and became a student of the county troupe.

It was also here that she took her first vocal lesson and learned music theory knowledge.

This is also the first time that she became attached to music. Since then, she has reported to the group every day.

I am happy to help my family in my spare time, although it is harder.

After a year's study, Song Zu Ying has become the leader of the group.

Her musical talent made her stand out, and with her excellent appearance conditions,

Standard oval face, a pair of big eyes bright and radiant,

A sharp chin is a natural heroine.

Song Zu Ying, 16 years old, became the only student in the group who passed the exam unanimously.

In this way, she became a formal actress of the county song and dance troupe, with a salary income,

You can participate in the performance with the group.

Song Zu Ying went to the countryside to perform with the song and dance troupe, which was very fresh.

It was her first time to face the audience, although she was only a supporting role at that time.

There is not much time and aria on the stage.

But she is still very excited every time, not only reciting her own paragraphs,

I also recited all the lines and aria of the whole play.

I didn't expect this intention to make her the protagonist.

Once they performed the play in distress situation.

The protagonist suddenly had an accident and couldn't perform. Song Zu Ying volunteered to save the scene.

Her outstanding performance made her remembered by the group leaders, and she will be the protagonist in the future.

At this time, she has just joined the league for half a year and is the fastest actress to become the protagonist.

Song Zu Ying, who has good conditions, hard work and is still young, has become the key training object of the Group.

In the same year, she was sent to the Theatre Academy of Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture to study.

This is the first time that Song Zu Ying has left Guzhang County since 16.

This month's study not only broadened her horizons,

It also brought her more opportunities.

During this month, Song Zu Ying learned a lot of professional skills in drama.

It made up for her lack of figure and performance, and also learned new vocal skills.

There will be a small graduation party after the training.

Song Zu Ying sang a favorite "Companionship" for everyone.

I didn't expect this song to be very popular, and it was recorded as a tape and played on the radio.

Song Zu Ying returned to Guzhang County and was named by the leaders of Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture Song and Dance Troupe.

Invite her to participate in the performance of "A Hundred Birds with Blood".

The performance was jointly rehearsed by several first-class theatrical troupes.

Song Zu Ying is the only actor invited by Guzhang County.

This is also the first time she left the county song and dance troupe to perform.

Song Zu Ying, 17 years old, saw a bigger stage this time, with many excellent actors.

At the same time, Xiangxi Song and Dance Troupe noticed this talented little girl.

Soon after, she was transferred from Guzhang County and became an actor in Xiangxi Song and Dance Troupe.

In one year, I became a formal actor from a student and a starring role in half a year.

In three years, he was transferred from the county to the Autonomous Prefecture Song and Dance Troupe.

It can be said that Song Zu Ying's career path has many bright spots.

Her luck didn't stop. She just joined the league.

I learned that the Music and Dance Department of Minzu University of China has come to recruit students.

With outstanding conditions and the right age, she was caught by the teacher at a glance.

She was invited to apply for the exam, and the leaders of the group also supported her to continue her studies.

Song Zu Ying was naturally excited when the university dream was in front of him.

This is also a regret that has existed since she dropped out of junior high school.

However, the college entrance examination became a huge gap in front of her.

She has been away from school for five or six years, and the culture class is too difficult for her.

But Song Zu Ying is not timid. She is eager to seize this opportunity.

So in addition to daily rehearsals and performances,

The rest of the time is to study culture classes every day and read books at night.

After half a year's hard work, at the age of 1985, 19, she finally passed the cultural examination.

Become a student of Minzu University of China and start to learn music more comprehensively.

Song Zu Ying came to Beijing from Xiangxi and left Dashan for more opportunities.

Since college, she has often participated in various competitions and achieved good results.

1987 Participated in Hunan Young Singers Competition and won the first prize.

In the same year, he also won the gold medal in the minority singer contest.

At this time, the Youth Song Competition has been held for two sessions.

And become the most eye-catching and high-quality mainstream music singing competition.

Guan Mucun, Zhang Ye, Yin Xiumei and other outstanding singers are widely known through this competition.

With the encouragement of the teacher, Song Zu Ying signed up for the 3rd Youth Song Competition of 1988.

However, perhaps because she was too nervous, she fell out of Sun Shan and failed to enter the shortlist.

1990, the 4th National Youth Song Contest officially opened.

After two years of humiliation, Song Zu Ying has made great progress through professional study.

There are many masters in this year's Youth Song Competition, and Cai Guoqing participated in the amateur group competition of popular singing.

Zhang Mi, Jie Xiaodong and Zhu Zheqin took part in the professional group competition of pop singing.

They all stood out through the Youth Song Contest and became popular singers.

The competition of folk singing is also fierce, and Wan Shanhong and Li Danyang are both players in the professional group.

In the end, Song Zu Ying won the bronze medal with a song "Today's Miao Folk Songs".

Although Song Zu Ying, who failed to win the championship, was not satisfied with his achievements,

But she is still the best female singer in that competition.

Dignified and generous, sweet smile, impressive.

In the same year, Song Zu Ying boarded the Spring Festival Gala and sang "Little Basket".

This time on the stage, Song Zu Ying made the people of the whole country remember this Miao girl with her sweet singing.

Since then, she has been on the Spring Festival Gala for 24 consecutive years, becoming the most famous national singer.

Song Zu Ying was the first singer to turn people into pop songs.

The annual Spring Festival Gala has also become a stage for making golden songs.

1994 is you when you grow up, and 1995 is a spice girl.

1996 soldier brother, 1998 good day,

These songs have beaten many popular songs,

Become a popular golden song of the times.

At the same time, Song Zu Ying is still challenging himself. She applied for a postgraduate degree in the Conservatory of Music.

It also covers foreign excellent works to make them in line with international standards.

In 2002, Song Zu Ying gave a solo concert at the Sydney Opera House.

She is the first Asian to hold a recital in this opera house.

In 2003, she was invited to hold a solo concert in the Golden Hall of Austria again.

Once again, he became the first national singer in China to perform here.

In 2005, Song Zu Ying's album "One Hundred Years' Sound" was nominated for the Grammy for best classical crossover album.

The following year, she was invited to give a recital at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

In 2008, Song Zu Ying and tenor Domingo attended the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games.

When she sang "Flame of Love", she had visited famous theaters all over the world.

Singing has spread to all corners of the world and become an internationally renowned singer.

During this period, Song Zu Ying constantly introduced new works.

And hold tours all over the country, with high yield and high quality.

Hot search is no less than pop singers, and has a wide audience.

Song Zu Ying, who has made continuous achievements in music, is equally happy in life.

Her son was born in 2005, which was also a turning point in her career.

She put more energy into her family and reduced her performances.

However, she has become one of the calling cards of China folk songs.

The position in the music world and the influence of music are unshakable.

In the Spring Festival Evening of 2009, Song Zu Ying sang Compendium of Materia Medica with Jay Chou, the king of pop.

The classic "Spice Girl" aria is added.

The fusion of folk songs and rap is not abrupt at all, and it has become a new fashion in China.

In the Spring Festival Evening that year, Song Zu Ying also sang a solo song "Send You an Oriental Jasmine".

Singers who can sing two songs at the Spring Festival Gala are rare.

But since 20 13, Song Zu Ying has never been to the Spring Festival Gala.

Today, Song Zu Ying, 55, rarely appears in public activities.

She still works in the dance company, but she has rarely appeared in front of the camera.

Song Zu Ying, who has faded out of public view, is still an irreplaceable singer.

She walked out of the small Guzhang County and stepped onto the world stage step by step.

Retire at the peak and enjoy a dull life if you don't like fame and wealth.

I also hope that Song Zu Ying can continue to sing and board the Spring Festival Gala again.

Bring brand-new music works.
