She debuted at her peak, signed with Sony at the age of 21 and appeared on the Millennium Spring Festival Gala. Why did Kim Hae-shin suddenly stop being popular?

Her first album was on the 2000 Spring Festival Gala's "99 Hot Songs" together with Pu Shu and Xie Yuxin.

Her second album was directly used as the theme song of the TV series "It's All Angels' Trouble".

Chen Li cried and told her in "Who is the Treasure Singer" that you are worth waiting for.

With an ethereal and lazy voice, he is known as the "music wizard" and "the first successor of Faye Wong."

Mo Qixian even bluntly said that he wanted to fall in love when he heard her voice.

In the millennium of "Gods Fighting", Jin Haixin has received high praise in the mainland music market with her unique and clean voice.

Everyone was extremely optimistic about this girl who was only in her early 20s. No one expected that her flowering period would be so short.

01

In 1978, Jin Haixin was born in a musical family in Beijing.

My mother is a university music professor and the mentor of Jin Haixin’s music leader Sambo.

Growing up under the artistic influence of music, Jin Haixin and her sister both showed extremely high artistic talents.

The sisters were forced by their mother to learn to play the piano since they were children.

Before my legs were as high as the piano, I was held in front of the piano by my mother, listening to how my mother played music.

My sister loved the sound of her fingertips brushing over the keys, and later became a doctor of piano.

But Jin Haixin didn’t like the piano very much, and later begged her mother to learn the flute instead.

Although she has always attached great importance to the artistic attainments of her two daughters, Kim Hae-shim’s mother has not given her two daughters professional singing training.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong, Luo Taiyou, Anita Mui, Su Rui, Leslie Cheung, Liu Huan, Na Ying and others sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and foreign music gradually flowed into the mainland.

The music scene is turbulent, and the popular music scene in Beijing is growing up with a generation of young people.

Who among the children in the alley at that time could not hum a line or two of pop music?

At the age of 11, Jin Hae-shim, who was deeply obsessed with singing, asked her mother to learn singing professionally.

But her mother rejected her.

In her heart, it is enough for her two daughters to be able to play musical instruments.

Like many parents, Jin Haixin’s mother also believes that singing pop songs is not doing her job properly.

Jin Haixin had no choice but to play Su Rui's song and sing along secretly in the room.

Under the arrangement of her mother, Jin Haixin, who studied flute, was supposed to go to the United States for further studies after graduation, like her elder sister.

As she loves children, she may become a kindergarten teacher in the future, or she may become a professional performer like her sister.

At that time, Jin Haixin went to a recording studio with her friends to sing secretly, and met her mother's former student, Sanbao.

At that time, Sambo was already a famous music producer.

The first album he produced for Mao Amin won the first place in Radio Hong Kong's top ten hits in the first season.

He also collaborated with Li Zongsheng and co-produced the album "This Is Us".

Including Su Rui, whom Jin Haixin was very fond of at the time, Sanbao also personally composed many of her songs.

After hearing Jin Haixin’s singing, Sanbao was astonished. He immediately found Jin Haixin, who was preparing to go abroad, and persuaded her to become a singer.

Under Sanbao's constant persuasion, Jin Hai, who was already very interested in singing, was shaken.

You can learn the flute at any age, but if you miss the best stage of singing, you have really missed it.

Although she has never received any professional music training, Jin Haixin still bravely took that step for her dream of singing.

02

The music scene was at its peak at that time.

In the Mainland, there are newcomers such as Pushu, Huaer Band, and Yu Quan.

There are also Xiao Yaxuan, Stefanie Sun, Jolin Tsai and other little queens in Taiwan.

Hong Kong also has powerful singers such as Eason Chan and Leslie Cheung.

Jin Haixin has just signed a contract with the powerful Sony Music, led by Sanbao.

Sony Music, which is new to mainland China, is also looking forward to this cooperation.

Skipping Jin Haixin’s newbie training period and directly paving the way for her debut.

Sony Music invited many great figures to protect Jin Haixin’s first album.

Li Manting even directly wrote three lyrics and composed one song for Jin Haixin's first album.

As the most famous female lyricist at that time, Li Manting had previously written lyrics with Zhou Huajian, Jacky Cheung, Jackie Chan, Beyond and others, and she had definitely collaborated with the big names at the time.

Sambo, who took the lead, also composed three songs in this album.

In 1999, the sentence "No matter 3363 or 3127, they are like elves trapped in the mortal world" officially brought a "music elf" to everyone's eyes.

This album, which brought together many great artists, swept the major charts that year, and Jin Haixin became a first-line singer in the mainland.

Countless people in the industry have given this album high praise.

On the Spring Festival evening of the new millennium in 2000, when the old and the new changed, Kim Hae-shim's "Wake Up the Ears" was introduced to every household on television.

Her voice is equally clear and ethereal, with a hint of laziness and ease. Kim Hae-shim, who was at her peak when she debuted, is regarded as the successor to Queen Faye Wong.

For a time, Jin Haixin was in the limelight.

A year and a half later, Kim Hae-shim's second album "So Proud" was released.

This album also gathered the support of many great gods such as Li Manting, and it became very popular as soon as it was released.

Not only was it directly used as the theme song for the TV series "It's All Angels' Trouble", but Jin Haixin, Na Ying, Chen Ming and Sun Yue were also shortlisted for the most popular female singer in the mainland that year.

Not long after, Jin Haixin released her own EP "New Feeling".

The full-scale explosion of Jin Haesin has established a very high popularity. She has been highly praised by Sony Music since her debut and is even called the "Sony Little Princess".

When her career was on the right track and everything seemed to be prosperous, Jin Haixin had a conflict with her old club Sony.

Kim Hae-shim did not agree with the company's operating model, and Sony Music was also very angry because of Kim Hae-shim's "not being obedient enough".

As the conflicts between the two parties escalated, Warner Records took advantage of the situation and took the opportunity to extend an olive branch to Jin Haixin.

03

Warner Records also showed its sincerity in successfully signing Jin Haixin.

In the same year, Kim Hae-shim's solo single "Sad Swing" was released.

This song was originally written by Zhang Dongya for the TV series "Date at the Aquarium", but then it was handed to Jin Haeshim as an olive branch.

At that time, Warner Records was booming. Not only did they have powerful singers such as Na Ying and Sun Nan, but they also madly harvested a series of new singers such as Pu Shu, Lao Lang, and Ye Bei.

Various singers gathered together. Although Warner Records also made great efforts to recruit Jin Haixin, she was no longer the favored one.

Kim Hae-shim served as the album producer and launched the album of the same name "Kim Hae-shim" which was not released until 2003.

But except for "Sad Swing", which Zhang Yadong gave her, none of this album is worth it.

After leaving Sony Music, Kim Hae-shim’s career began to decline.

At Warner Records, there are many potential singers. Even Jin Haixin had to queue up and wait for the company to allocate resources.

In 2006, Jin Haixin, who had always presented herself as a girly girl, cut her hair short and appeared in public with her fourth album.

With this album, Jin Haixin started a transformation.

Independently completed the creation of 7 songs, and also added various genres such as light rock and R&B.

With this album, Kim Hae-shim won the Best Female Singer award at all major music awards ceremonies that year.

It is a pity that this album only rejuvenated Jin Haixin briefly, like a bubble, it quickly disappeared again.

In 2006, the talent show was held in full swing in the mainland. Super girls such as Li Yuchun attracted a large number of listeners. From the audition to the finals, the fans who grew up with them all the way were far more die-hard than just a group of casual fans of Jin Haixinneng. Comparable.

At the same time, Hong Kong and Taiwan singers also poured in in large numbers, and more than half of the already increasingly crowded music market was taken away.

Lacking an excellent team to protect herself, and having only a few well-known songs, Jin Haesin soon became unable to withstand the impact.

The under-appreciated Kim Hae-shim is like being half-hidden in the snow. The promotion of the record is pitiful, and Kim Hae-shim's decline has been revealed.

There will inevitably be voices of disapproval of the company's shift in focus. The senior executives have different ideas. Many Warner executives have resigned and started their own businesses.

At this time, Jin Haixin once again made an unwise move. She resigned from Warner's high-level platform and once again had conflicts with the company.

During her five years at Warner Records, Jin Haixin, who was once on the front line, could not stop the ups and downs of the music scene. With only a few albums, she slowly fell into the second or third line.

During the five years of being put on hold, Jin Haixin also suffered from collapse, depression, and anger. He obviously had a lot of talent, but he had to be ignored by everyone.

Jin Haixin has also guest-hosted and participated in films and TV shows. However, with the decline of the Chinese music scene, she has inevitably become "history".

04

In the 21st century, record companies around the world have been hit by a cold winter.

The popularity of pirated songs and mp3 has dealt a huge blow to traditional record companies.

Jin Haixin, whose contract with Warner Records expired, made an extremely failed decision.

At that time, she chose Huayou Jin Xinzi when all aspects were no longer what they used to be.

This record company with a publishing background, as a company at the top of China’s popular music “ring tones era”, also allowed Jin Haixin to embark on the road of salivating songs.

The fifth album "Love is Like Narcissus" brought a lot of controversy to Jin Haixin at the time.

Some music critics even said in public: "Popular is not shameful, and salivating songs are by no means inferior. The problem is when Kim Hae-shin's name is equated with Internet music, how incredible it is. It is clearly a great satire on the mainland music scene.”

Although this crude song also occupied a place on major song charts, it attracted a lot of criticism from people in the industry.

The completely different style change also made many fans of Jin Haixin unacceptable.

After that, Jin Haixin only released a cover of the classic hit song "Linglong" in 2010.

Although Huayou Jin Xinzi has created a large number of popular online songs, there is no way Warner Records can compare with Sony Music’s heritage and resources.

Jin Haixin, who once wanted to create her own music, eventually went further and further away from her music dream.

Until 2012, a singer named Xu Haixing appeared in "The Voice of China". At that time, many people thought that Jin Haixin would make a comeback.

In 2016, Kim Hae-shim appeared on the stage of "The Masked Singer" like a flash in the pan.

Wearing "Cat Dailey Hepburn" on her head, she stood on the stage again after many years.

Singing "Sit back and Watch" with Sha Baoliang, Jin Haixin opened her mouth, and her unique voice was instantly recognized by Da Zhangwei in the audience.

When she returned to the stage, her appearance did not change much, but her voice was more textured. The song "Sit back and Watch" also presented another soft "emotion" under her ethereal and clear voice.

In the program, Wu Qixian asked, where have you been for so many years?

Jin Haixin, who was already calm, replied, I will always be there.

In the years since she disappeared, she has not given up her beloved music. In addition to dubbing for several animations, Jin Haixin also established her own music studio and released her first album in 2015. Four personal selections, "Hannah Kim's Selected Works".

When asked if she was not afraid of being forgotten by everyone after not appearing in public for such a long time, Kim Hae-shin just said that she felt it was better not to be so active all the time. .

In the Weibo business, there was a fanatical male fan who liked Jin Haixin so much that he threatened to kill her.

Jin Haixin, who has since closed Weibo, is even more elusive.

05

In 2019, in the preview of the next issue of Happy Camp, #快本下注金海心# was on Weibo’s hot search list.

He Jiong was even more excited and sent three exclamation points in a row, calling Jin Haixin!

In the program, Kim Hae-shim's song "So Proud" evoked the memories of countless people.

A large number of netizens came to beg Jin Haixin to participate in Hunan Satellite TV's "I Am a Singer", hoping that she could become famous again.

Everyone hopes that this treasured girl can stand on this professional and popular stage and rely on her own strength to get rid of her current outdated status.

But Jin Haixin chose another platform, "Who is the Treasure Singer".

After nearly 20 years, Zhang Yadong, who originally gave the song he composed to Jin Haixin as a meeting gift, sat at the judges' table.

And Kim Hae-shim, who was a hit back then and her songs were sung in every street and alley, appeared on the contestant stage.

In more than 20 years, Wang Yuan and other new traffic figures have almost forgotten her name.

Liu Boxin thinks this is a new song with a retro and fashionable feel.

Only Zhang Yadong looked at Jin Haixin, thousands of emotions welling up in his heart, and his eyes gradually turned red.

In the show, Zhang Dongya had to tell her name even if she was fined.

The first mainland female singer signed by Sony was no longer remembered with the decline of Sony.

After the song, Jin Haixin was the first to speak, holding the microphone and smiling and said, "It's so emotional."

Zhang Yadong leaned over and asked softly, "How are you?"

Jin Haixin replied, "I'm fine. How are you?"

Many years later, after going around and around, the two people who had collaborated finally met again in this way. .

The only thing that came out of my mouth was, are you okay?

Jin Haixin gradually disappeared from the audience's sight, just like her senior brother Pu Shu at Warner Records.

Staying quietly and silently in their own music world, the impetuous and disturbing external world seems to be far away from them.

Returning to the stage again, choosing "Who is the Treasure Singer" instead of "I Am a Singer" just wanted to know whether my voice could still be recognized by the outside world.

Jin Haixin, who has experienced ups and downs in life, no longer has much pursuit of becoming famous again.

Pursuing the things she loves in the way she likes, in the slow pace of life, she is constantly finding herself and becoming herself.

06

In the 20 years since she became popular and then faded, she has witnessed the history of the Chinese music scene from prosperity to decline.

Bad money drives out good money, major music charts are occupied by unknown traffic, truly good music is hidden underneath, and non-nutritious saliva songs have become the carnival of the times.

As powerful singers such as Liu Huan, Sun Nan, Jay Chou, Pu Shu, Zhang Huimei, Stefanie Sun, and Han Hong gradually disappeared from the music scene, the failure of the general environment gave rise to a large number of companies bent on taking shortcuts.

There is no need to spend time, money, and manpower to concentrate on polishing a work, and singers do not need to have good innate conditions.

As long as you look good, there will be countless fans willing to pay for it.

The complete decline of the music scene has also made more and more outstanding singers such as Jin Haixin become a mark of history.

Only a few people can't help but burst into tears when they hear that familiar melody.

The pity for Jin Haixin is also the pity for those talented singers who have passed their time.

Countless classics have emerged in the five years before and after the new millennium, and the era of outstanding singers fighting among gods is destined to become a thing of the past.

In "Who is the Treasure Singer", Jin Haixin, who has been away from the stage for several years, can still make the audience gasp in surprise when she opens her mouth.

Jin Haixin’s recommender in "Who is the Treasure Singer", Zhang Dawei, who debuted with the Huaer band at that time and left many classic songs, can only sing "Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse, Tick Tock" "Tick tock", this kind of saliva song appeared on the music charts.

Although Da Zhangwei still frequently appears in the audience's sight, everyone's impression of him has already changed from a singer to a variety show guest, and he has become a good person to liven up the atmosphere with his jokes.

Like Kim Hae-shim, there are only a few professional singers left who still insist on their music dreams. "They are born to love singing, but they will be lonely if they don't sing."

Conclusion

There are many new songs every year, but the classics are still missing.

We continue to recall the past and miss those singers left behind in history.

I just want to see the Chinese music scene revitalized again, with more and more professional singers appearing.

Let the music scene of this era not be left with only a pile of regrets.
