Yao Qian, a famous music producer, commented on singer Zhao Wei: "If Zhao Wei is not a star, I will sign him". Zhao Weigang set foot on the music scene, singing mostly episodes of his own film and television works. When she went to Yaoqian, many people doubted whether the company signed her contract because of Zhao Wei's popularity. Yao Qian said categorically: "Even if Zhao Wei is not a star, I will sign her. As far as a simple girl is concerned, she is also very malleable. " "Gradually" is an album that I am very satisfied with. Its level and sales proved Zhao Wei's ability and my vision. ”？
When talking about the feeling of cooperation with Zhao Wei, Yao Qian was very excited: "In the past, everyone simply positioned her in the film and television circle and thought that Zhao Wei's singing was a bit of a joke. I thought so at first. But after contact with her, I feel more and more that her simplicity, her efforts, her special emotional logic and her low magnetic voice all doomed her to be an excellent singer. " As for Zhao Wei's previous music, Yao Qian said that she can't arbitrarily say that she failed, but "no matter how wonderful it is, it is a' script' written for her, not her own", and the album Gone with the Wind is the real beginning.
Zhao Wei said, "I'm not very good at expressing it. Everything in my life is a kind of happiness-the happiness of life. Singing helped me find another way to speak and express myself better. "
Zhao Wei's musical achievements;
Authoritative award:
1, the most popular mainland singer in the 5th MTV Asian Music Awards. (There were Na Ying, Sun Nan, Pu Shu and Sun Yue in previous sessions. )
2. Best Female Singer in the 8th Music Billboard (by "Angel Suitcase")
3. The Best Pop Singer in the 4th Asian Music Festival (Angel Suitcase)
4. The most popular female singer in the 5th Music Billboard (Gone with the Wind)
5. The most popular female singer in the Mainland was shortlisted for the 12th Chinese Music List (Double Double).
June 2008 Music Radio Best Album List (Angel Suitcase)
In 7006, musicradio top ranked the most popular female singer (Double Double).
The most popular female singer on the music radio charts in 2005 ("Gone with the Wind").
9. The most popular female singer in the 13th Oriental Billboard ("Double Double")
10, the most popular female singer in the 4th Sprite Music List (Gone with the Wind), etc.
Remarks:
MTV Asia Music Awards is a direct branch of MTV Music Awards, but the selection scope is only for Asian musicians. The importance of this award is self-evident. I will put it in the first place because this award is not comparable to cctv-mtv? (cctv-mtv is jointly organized by two TV stations. Although it is called mtv, it is completely different from the former).
The Chinese language list is organized by Chanel V and includes musicians from Chinese mainland, Hongkong and Taiwan Province. Its influence in Chinese music should not be underestimated, and Faye Wong is a frequent visitor to this award.
The four most important music awards in the mainland music scene:
1, music billboard (the previous sessions were named by Pepsi, and now it is named by Mengniu). The judges are all big names, and the weekly list has the most votes.
2. Chinese song charts (sponsored by the radio station of the same name), formerly known as China music charts, are the charts smashed by Tian Zhen microphones.
3. Music Radio Rankings (sponsored by China People's Broadcasting Station, The Sound of Music)
4. Shanghai Oriental Billboard (sponsored by radio station of the same name).
These four should be the vane of mainland music. The influence of the Oriental Billboard is slightly weak, but it has great influence in the Jiangnan area of Shanghai. In addition, the South China Sprite Music Billboard, which once boasted originality and did well, has also declined recently.
In the early stage, Qiong Yao helped her create music with film and television nepotism, but later, by joining EMI Viking Records, Yao Qian tapped the characteristics of Zhao Wei and created two special works, Gone with the Wind and body double, while the accomplished singer Zhao Wei had nothing to do with film and television. Of course, the popularity accumulated in film and television can not be underestimated. This is not a mistake.
Most of her awards were won by Gone with the Wind, body double and Angel's suitcase. The first two albums were created by classic EMI Yao Qian, and the last one was created by an independent woman, the Duke of Snowy Night. It is more musical, but not as marketable as the first two.
Finally, the success of Zhao Wei music was really aggravated by the fault phenomenon of female musicians in the Mainland. Na Ying retired after releasing a record in 2002, and female singers such as Ye Bei, Ding Wei and Chen Lin also drifted away on the road of feeling good about themselves. When Chris Lee, BiBi Zhou and Jane Zhang took part in the Super Girl Draft, it was not enough to support the whole mainland music scene. We should acknowledge the objective reasons for Zhao Wei's success.
Zhao Wei not only won the best female singer in the most authoritative list.
Continued Award: (Golden Melody Award, Golden Melody Award can not be ignored)
Affectionate as Rain —— The Best Movie and TV Songs in Music Billboard
Gradually-the annual hit of Chinese songs, the annual hit of music billboard, the annual hit of oriental billboard, and the annual hit of musicradio top.
Sunday that has been raining-the champion of the annual music chart and the champion of the annual Sprite music chart.
Endless Shakespeare-the quarterly champion of Chinese song charts in the second year (too old to be shortlisted for the year)
Me and Shangguan Yan-annual Oriental Billboard, Music Radio Billboard, Sprite and China people.
Angel suitcase-music billboard, the best billboard of music radio station and the annual hot billboard of Sprite.

In addition, Gone with the Wind was the best female singer in the Chinese song list. Everyone thinks that Zhao Wei was the last person to win the song, and Zhao Wei has always been in the lead in the voting. The result was unexpectedly lost to Sun Yue. Even Sun Yue thought it was Zhao Wei. She said something like I'm sorry on the stage. As for the specific truth, it has become an unsolved case, and we will not dig deeper.
Continue to award: (Hong Kong and Taiwan Award! ! ! )
There is a girl-Bronze Award in the 22nd Radio Television Hong Kong Golden Melody Awards.
The curse of love-TVB's best music video list
Best Pop Singer Award at Xincheng Blast Awards Ceremony, etc.
As a mainland singer, Zhao Wei has also won many awards from Hong Kong and Taiwan, which is of course due to Aunt Qiong Yao.
Important awards in Hong Kong: TVB Golden Melody Award, Commercial Radio All-around Award (the All-around Award was added later, formerly known as Radio Television Hong Kong Music Award) and Metro Golden Melody Award.
Authoritative awards are so dazzling, not to mention countless other musical honors. All-round artists, cross-border female singers, fashion festivals, heroes of heaven and earth and many other awards are not listed here. One column, a lot.

This album has sold more than one million copies in Asia. Gone with the Wind brought Zhao Wei an unprecedented reputation. Zhao Wei's bold attempt on Hong Kong-Taiwan routes has been well received by people in the industry. Zhao Wei won numerous awards for her album Gone with the Wind.

Sixth, "Shuangshuang" on July 22nd, 2005.
After the album Gone with the Wind was a great success, Zhao Wei made persistent efforts and released his second DOUBLE DOUBLE in EMI in 2005. Whether it's Zhao Wei's performance or the elite production team behind the scenes, Double is absolutely first-class. Bring infinite surprises to fans, fans and insiders. Zhao Wei's performance in this album is very good, and he has a good grasp of singing skills. In the diversified schools, people have seen many faces of Zhao Wei. There is no doubt that this album was produced by Zhao Wei in 2005. In the praise from all walks of life, Zhao Wei defeated Crystal who wrote her articles at that time with her own actions. With a good reputation, I have won my due position in the Jianghu. Zhao Wei's styling and style in the album are based on the Japanese-Korean route. This album once again won many awards for her, and Zhao Wei became the most popular female singer in mainland China. In 2006, she won the Chinese mainland Most Popular Female Singer Award at the 5th Asian Music Festival in Bangkok, Thailand. Driven by EMI, the cumulative sales volume of DOUBLE in Asia reached 265,438+million, which was almost equal to that of Jay Chou.

VII. "Angel suitcase" 2007.9. 1
Zhao Wei signed a personalized album created by mainland MBOX friend Duke of Snowy Night. As soon as the album went on the market, it was warmly embraced by fans, and people in the industry also praised some albums, thinking that it was "the most professional and literary record in Zhao Wei". In this album, Zhao Wei boldly tried Korean modeling. Zhao Wei, the first hit song "Angel Suitcase", also went to New Zealand to direct MTV for the first time, and Zhao Wei danced with South Korean pop idol Jun Jin in "Love in Chen Wenjing", which really made people shine. In September, 2007, she won the Chinese mainland Most Popular Singer Award at the 5th Asian Music Festival. At the same time, Zhao Wei was successfully promoted to a professional singer with this album, and won the Best Female Singer in the Mainland together with Fish Leong in the 8th Pepsi Music Billboard in 2008. At this time, Zhao Wei was also positioned as "the next Faye Wong" by people in the industry. However, the fly in the ointment is that the pre-sale volume of "Angel Suitcase" in the mainland is as high as 80,000 copies in the case of the sharp contraction of China's record market. But MBOX is a mainland record company after all, and the non-international route directly affects the overseas sales of this album. However, it is worth mentioning that the download volume of angel suitcase has exceeded one million times.
Final sales: 800,000 physical records (mainland data only, overseas unpublished), 6,543.8+0,000 downloads of Angel Suitcase, 480,000 downloads of Love in Chen Wenjing and 6,543.8+0,000 downloads of other songs.
Recommended tracks: Angel Suitcase, Love in Chen Wenjing, Leaf Worship and Little Bee.
Eight, "We Are All Great Directors" 2009.6438+06438+0.6438+06.
Zhao Wei's first digital album, this new album will change the traditional distribution mode, and join hands with China Mobile to launch digital music through the wireless music club platform in early August.
For many years, the Chinese music scene has been operating in the traditional album mode. However, with the emergence of the Internet and the impact of piracy, the traditional music market has been losing ground, and making records has become a chicken rib. This time, Zhao Wei's new album broke the traditional distribution mode and made its debut on the digital platform of China Mobile. Then, according to the traditional model, the new album will be widely publicized nationwide.
The ingenious arrangement of The Great Director and The Wife of Shop-owner, whether mixed with Bossa Nova or funk, makes the works unique. What is commendable is that these characteristic elements have not usurped the role of the host, but have enhanced the embellishment effect and made the whole song more diversified. In addition, in this work, in addition to these independent or slightly interesting works, there are inevitably these popular works, such as Back in Time, Lost, Mulan Xiang and so on. However, as said at the beginning, although these works are not popular, they are slightly lighter than this song "We are all great directors" after debugging and arranging. So on the whole, all the works still have a theme.
Final sales volume: Because it is a digital album, there is no physical CD sales for the time being, only the download volume can be counted, and the download volume of major songs has broken 6,543,800 times.
Recommended tracks: The Great Director, The Wife of Shop-owner, Back in Time, Lost, Mulan Xiang.
Remarks: First of all, sales volume is a very sensitive thing, and data collection is not so transparent. Some of these data are statistically accurate, and some are objectively reported by music magazines. I try to list them with more accurate statistical caliber. This is not only for singer Zhao Wei, but also for other singers, because there is no completely transparent caliber.
Other aspects:
Promote personal performance: (For various reasons, it is true that Zhao Wei has never held a large concert, but there are small mini concerts).
1, Music Constant Song Club
2. Deep and rainy concert
3. CCTV song club (after the recording of a floating life)
4. Yunnan Satellite TV Music Club
5, 99, when the big love fights to promote fans, etc.
Commercial performance records: (only heavyweight)
1. CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala
2. Mango 20 1 1 New Year's Eve
3. Represent the mainland to participate in and perform at the Asian Music Festival in Korea.
4. The same song of CCTV 3, Happy China Tour.
There are all kinds of platters, all kinds.
In addition, Zhao Wei has participated in the performances of three Spring Festival Galas since 16. In 2000, "Princess Huanzhu" was popular all over Asia. On the Spring Festival Evening, the "National Princess" served as a guest host and sang songs. In 2004, the Spring Festival Evening on the second day of junior high school gradually faded away and became more intellectual. I sang "Warmth" with Adu, which was warm and moving. 2065438+2006, the family is happy and the film and television leaders shine brilliantly. Liuchi Lane was widely sung by Zhao Wei.
Music summary:
Since her debut, Zhao Wei has released 8 music albums, many of which have sold more than one million, and the cumulative sales of music albums have reached 9 million. She has not only won numerous awards for the most popular female singer, but also won many professional awards such as the MTV Asia Award and the Best Female Singer in the Music Billboard.
Zhao Wei's musical achievements must be beyond the reach of a professional singer. Best female singer and most popular female singer, Zhao Wei did it.
Although Zhao Wei plays well and sings well, when Zhao Wei hit a wall in the film circle, he broke through entirely by music ~
Zhao Wei has been releasing singles in recent years, because in the general direction of the whole recording industry in Asia, the possibility of Zhao Wei releasing an album is almost zero. I look forward to Zhao Wei singing some beautiful theme songs or episodes in movies and TV series in the future ~
