In the late 1970s, when television replaced radio as a new carrier of literary communication, we met her. With her rich voice and high-pitched enthusiasm, she put a kind of frankness of human nature from the north into her singing, which made people truly realize the passion and spiritual pleasure of the times.
She is Yin Xiumei, an evergreen singer who has been active on the stage for nearly 40 years since she joined the Art Troupe in 70 years. Her unique singing style, which can't distinguish between nationality and bel canto, is precisely the embodiment of her personality: bold and tenacious, free and easy and magnificent. Her interpretations of I Love You, Snow in the Northwest, Party, My Dear Mom, Youth, Mom Teach Me a Song, China Stage and Forever Friends are all immortal classics that have influenced the whole era. Her solid and full singing style has made her stick to the art world for 20 years and become a model that countless people can't reach. The column "Art Life" carefully examined her past 20 years when preparing her special program. Not only those music scores related to numbers impressed everyone, but also her life experience full of fairy tales had to be secretly amazed.
Perhaps, all this should only be described by the word "legend", and this "artistic life" summarized by the word "legend" is precisely created by her tenacious and stubborn unique personality.
Yin Xiumei's singing timbre is pure and bright, the sound quality is round and rich, and the range is wide; Her singing is a combination of western singing and national singing, which is fluent, clear and artistic. She is good at singing magnificent artistic songs, and can accurately grasp all kinds of song styles from China traditional folk songs to western operas. He is a powerful singer with a wide range of artistic expressions in the field of singing.
He is loved by hundreds of millions of people because of his singing of popular songs such as "I love you in the snow in the north of Saibei" and "China Grand Stage". Her songs are cheerful and lively, and the songs of the Yangtze River are magnificent and affectionate, such as the songs of obsequiousness, and the sadness is gentle as the bleak wind. Not only that, she can handle some foreign works properly and skillfully. Is a very powerful singer. In addition to her singing skills, fans are also impressed by her generous and kind typhoon, unique costumes and always bright smile. From her early songs "I Sing Hope", "Song of Ideal", "Youth, Youth" to "Kissing the Motherland" and "Dedicating to the Motherland", every song of Yin Xiumei deeply infects fans who like her. We wish her more brilliant!
Born in "coal city"
1June 65438 to1October 65438, Yin Xiumei was born in an ordinary family of grassroots cadres in Hegang, Heilongjiang. Because her father is a cadre specializing in geological survey and his hometown is in a coal mine, his family is relatively well-off, at least in the local area. This is a little different from what we usually think. Yin Xiumei, a teenager, didn't find life so hard. At home, she is the third and has two sisters, so she is favored. She basically lives a life of reaching out with clothes and eating with her mouth full. Compared with many peers of her generation, her family conditions are enough for many people to admire.
As a child, Yin Xiumei didn't have any great artistic ambitions. Like many contemporary children, it is her greatest ambition to wear a military uniform as a soldier. At that time, planes often passed over her school. She often ran to the playground and stared at the sky with wide eyes, envious. At this time, she felt that being a pilot in the future was her initial ideal in life. Regrettably, in the past years, she never seems to be close to this dream.
Her experience of joining a literary and art group seems to be only a very simple form, and there is nothing too tortuous in it. Everything is caused by the unique factors of that era. Because it was just in time for the Cultural Revolution, the whole country was engaged in the literary front. At this time, Hegang established an art troupe. Because Yin Xiumei sang well in school, she attracted the attention of the group and went to school to recruit her to become a student of Hegang Art Troupe. That year, she was 14 years old.
/kloc-Yin Xiumei, 0/4 years old, stood on the big stage of life so early. It can be said that she has a superior family life, and she never thought that she would walk on this road all her life. At that time, she just wanted to solve the employment problem as soon as possible, and the remaining ideals and development were just an invisible mist in her heart. In her own words, she just doesn't want to think about it.
At that time, the troupe was preparing for performances every day. Usually, actors are required to wear several hats and constantly change roles to meet the special needs of performances. Yin Xiumei should not only be a vocal singer, but also be a guest dancer, and insist on practicing every day. The degree of hardship is obvious, of course, but it must be endured silently.
My temper is stubborn, and the grievances in my heart are often unknown, but I also need to find opportunities to vent. When rehearsing the musical "White-haired Girl", I have to practice singing and dance. It was too difficult, so I ran to the head of the delegation and backed out, but I just didn't want to jump. However, the group has always insisted on pushing her back, which made her feel very oppressed. She said she had to find a way to lead Doby and give them a difficult problem. So I put on a pair of black wool socks and walked to the stage. Xi 'er in White-haired Girl has always been a pair of white socks. As a result, the stunt like black socks came out in the blink of an eye. The head of the delegation was very angry and questioned Yin Xiumei. As a result, she tossed her head and stubbornly said, "If you let me go up again, I still don't know what to wear for you!"
This is Yin Xiumei, who has a kind of frankness and stubbornness peculiar to northern women, which makes people helpless. However, when she loses her temper, the dance still needs to be rehearsed. In order to rehearse ballet and practice basic skills, she often suffers from toe pain like a big guy, so that she can't see her toes for half a year. My toes are worn out because of hard practice on tiptoe. After applying the medicine to them, all the gauze or cotton is wrapped. Even when washing feet, you can only wash the back. Only when the scar in front is healed can you completely remove the gauze. When you put on your shoes later, all your toes are tightly wrapped with gauze, and then you can put on your shoes with a cotton condom. If not, even people made of iron can't stand this kind of pain.
Be sacked
In this way, I spent five or six years in the storm of the Art Troupe, and finally got a little length of service and my work stabilized. However, Yin Xiumei never imagined that she would also face the problem of being laid off and encounter unexpected setbacks for the first time in her life.
1975 Hegang Coal Mining Bureau launched a movement, that is, 197 1 all graduation jobs will be dismissed. The general idea of the movement is to put an end to the unhealthy trend of some cadres' children going to work through the back door, but unexpectedly, Yin Xiumei, a literary backbone recruited in his early years, was also involved.
In fact, Yin Xiumei has been working for 70 years, which has nothing to do with the boundary of 197 1 and should not be included in the dismissal list. Surprisingly, she was not spared, and according to the policy, she was also dismissed. At that time, after she was dismissed, she had no job and no length of service. No one has written you any certificates these days. No one knows what you have done in recent years.
According to the policy conditions at that time, only people with more than two years' work experience could be assigned jobs, but the only way to find them in these two years was to go to the countryside, that is, to jump in line to receive re-education for poor middle peasants in youth spots. Instead of making such a choice, Yin Xiumei has been hiding at home in frustration. Although she said that she lost her job in the chaos, she seemed indifferent. She didn't feel heartbroken like other partners, complaining up and down, but kept silent at home alone.
During the idle months at home, I just moved, so I cleaned the house repeatedly and was distracted. At that time, she would probably stand in the kitchen with a semiconductor and learn to sing model operas on the radio every day. She even learned to pass the door very skillfully and sang like a job every day. This is Yin Xiumei, a cheerful and indifferent person. Although she suffered unfair hardships for the first time in her life, she remained indifferent, as if everything had nothing to do with herself.
Fortunately, ten months later, under the pressure of public opinion, the local government intends to adjust its policy and re-implement the previous dismissal decision. Because Yin Xiumei, who participated in it, has been the focus topic, she was the first to be considered. The municipal government decided to restore her and other people who joined the work 197 1 years ago and continue to work in the art troupe.
Boldly break into the stage
Yin Xiumei, who has been re-implemented, did not directly return to work in the art troupe. Instead, she received a notice from the Heilongjiang Song and Dance Troupe, saying that she would represent Heilongjiang in the Canton Fair. At that time, as soon as she received the notice, Yin Xiumei left immediately. No one could have imagined that she would never return to Hegang Art Troupe.
It's tempting to represent Heilongjiang in the Canton Fair and promote performances, but in fact, the whole link is not that simple, not as originally imagined. In Heilongjiang area, we must first select from local groups and municipal groups, including county-level literary and art groups, and must also include the literary and art backbones of art colleges and universities to audition together.
When Yin Xiumei saw it, she immediately became stubborn. She just didn't like that they didn't make it clear to herself in the telegram. Because there was no preparation in advance, no costume and no band accompaniment, I felt particularly uncomfortable when I saw people sitting there rehearsing, so I didn't say anything and insisted on not singing.
Yin Xiumei left a heavy pole, but it brought trouble to many people. Because the provincial leaders censored the program that day and asked her to perform on stage, the Heilongjiang Song and Dance Troupe went to Harbin to find Yin Xiumei and worked like a group of headless flies all day. Because there was no timely and effective contact information at that time, I only heard that her sister worked in the elevator factory, so a group of people went to the elevator factory to inquire. Without landing, they had to walk around the dormitory and shout everywhere.
Fortunately, someone came up at this time and asked, "Who are you looking for?" They said out of breath that they were looking for an employee named Yin. Her sister is a singer. At that time, Yin Xiumei often performed in Heilongjiang, and everyone was familiar with her, so someone took them to the single dormitory in the building. Finally, the two men ran to the third floor and began to shout Yin Xiumei's name. As a result, Yin Xiumei just hid in the room and went out to see what was going on. As a result, she ran into the two men who had gone to so much trouble to find her. Look, it's not easy.
Two people inexplicably dragged Yin Xiumei to the provincial song and dance troupe. The leader of the troupe immediately set out to borrow a costume and temporarily found an accordion accompaniment. As a result, they rushed into battle without making any preparations. In desperation, they rushed to the stage in front of the announcer, thinking that they were just singing to cope with the scene. As a result, when the results came out the next day, everyone froze. Yin Xiumei was the only person selected at the scene.
Attending the Canton Fair gave young Yin Xiumei a new perspective. Because she is the lead singer soprano, she is ranked first, which invisibly adds a lot of mental pressure to her. Seeing the wonderful performances of other song and dance troupes, she was inevitably knocked on the side drum. She was very nervous because she was the highlight of the closing ceremony.
Yin Xiumei, a fledgling woman, was born stubborn. The more stressed she is, the more energetic she is. Although I was still too nervous to sleep the night before the performance, I was ready and got up the courage to give it a try. The performance was an unexpected success, which not only successfully completed the performance task, but also won a flood of applause from people, and also made many literary and art groups from the central government favor themselves. Among them are the Central Broadcasting Art Troupe, which is determined to attract talents, and the Central Orchestra, which is in the wait-and-see stage.
Work in Beijing
Yin Xiumei never considered what Hu Zongren told him. The idea of going to work in Beijing is beyond her dreams, so she is just joking and doesn't care at all. As a result, after playing in Guangzhou for more than a month, the long-distance call from the Central Orchestra told her everything. It turned out that the Radio Art Troupe was already handling the transfer relationship for Yin Xiumei, so the Central Orchestra followed suit. Therefore, Yin Xiumei chose Radio Art Troupe as her foothold. There is a simple reason. She only said that the radio station had a crush on herself first. People should have priorities, not sit on the Qin dynasty and swing from side to side. This is Yin Xiumei's life principle, and it is this down-to-earth and unpretentious style that makes her reach the peak of success day by day.
Yin Xiumei's stubborn temper is well-known in the circle, which is the first experience of Jiang Kun, the doyen of the Radio Art Troupe.
I left Guangzhou and went to Hegang. I wanted to have a good rest at home for a while. After all, I have been away from my hometown for several months, and I don't want anyone in the radio art troupe to handle the job transfer. This man is Miss Jiang Kun. Yin Xiumei, who was particularly homesick, insisted on staying at home for a few more days. Jiang Kun said that if you want to come back, you can leave everything in my account in June+February, 5438, and you can come back. As a result, Yin Xiumei was still struggling, and finally she was dragged away by him in tears.
When buying tickets at the station, Yin Xiumei was so angry that he didn't say a word or speak, let alone Jiang Kun. Jiang Kun was particularly puzzled at this time, saying that this girl is so stubborn. Usually, when someone hears that they are going to Beijing, they are all in high spirits, but Yin Xiumei is seldom so angry that he doesn't want to leave. If it weren't for the group's rush to recruit talents, I would really be too lazy to go all the way to find someone, especially since I was rushing back to get married, and my heart was as anxious as fire.
Fortunately, it took a lot of trouble to get her here. Jiang Kun finally landed, hurriedly completed the formalities, and hurried home to get married.
go to college
After the theme song of a TV series was widely sung, Yin Xiumei was known to everyone. Yes 1979, the first domestic TV series "There is a Youth" was successfully broadcast. Yin Xiumei sang the theme song "Youth, Youth". Then she recorded "Mom taught me a song". These two songs became the cornerstone of her success and spread all over the country overnight, becoming well-known classics. Just as Yin Xiumei's acting career was getting dull, she unexpectedly chose to go to school and temporarily left the art troupe.
Yin Xiumei said that at that time, she wanted to study systematically and make her basic skills more solid, so that she could be more convincing. In addition, she didn't listen to many foreign songs when she was a child, so she decided to go to college for further study and chose the Opera Department of the Central Conservatory of Music to study under the famous vocal educator Professor Shen Xiang.
In this way, Yin Xiumei experienced three years of college time. After studying, she has made remarkable leaps and breakthroughs in theory and technology. At this time, she studied systematic opera singing and professional bel canto singing. Therefore, 77 years later, Yin Xiumei often participated in foreign visiting performances and toured in Nazslav, Romania and Hungary in Europe.
When performing abroad, the media commented that Yin Xiumei and Peng Xiuwen conducted the most, so foreign artists often said to the head of the radio art troupe, "This man has a bright future and should be allowed to study abroad." It's the same in Italy and Germany. At that time, there was no stereo, and they all performed live in the Grand Theatre, so people thought that Yin Xiumei had a good voice and especially hoped that she would study abroad. At that time, Yin Xiumei was wearing national costumes, brightly colored and a 36-foot pendulum. The newspaper wrote an eye-catching headline, saying that "Yin Xiumei wore the princess's wedding dress", and the words of praise jumped out of the paper and received rave reviews from all sides.
Speaking of studying abroad, Yin Xiumei doesn't care. She said that China has a vast territory and abundant resources, and she has hardly traveled anywhere. Even if she has traveled all over China, it will take many years. If she can succeed in China and become a very good actress, it will be a great achievement. Even if she goes to other countries, she will win applause. Why did she choose to study abroad?
Being a singer of the people was everyone's highest ambition at that time, and the concept of the world was not as easy to be optimistic as it is now. Yin Xiumei is not hot-headed. She has never regretted this life choice until today.
French husband
Yin Xiumei's first marriage was a great failure. According to her own statement, on the day of their wedding, she actually secretly made up her mind to break up with this man. Everything is so hasty, much like dealing with friends and family on both sides. Yin Xiumei's rebellious attitude began to take root and eventually decided that the marriage would end in a few years.
Perhaps, the personality differences between them are too great and they lack a sense of tacit understanding. They just arrange tasks every day like machinery, and then continue to complete the tasks. It is difficult for them to communicate, and many words simply don't make sense. In order not to let this failed marriage affect their career, she did not choose any remedy, but resolutely chose to end it. Since then, Yin Xiumei has been single for ten years. During this period, she not only has to endure loneliness and mental stress, but also bears more burdens in life. However, she has no regrets. Her independent and tenacious personality determines her life choice. Although this is a bit cruel, Yin Xiumei is used to it.
Fortunately, a gentleman from France appeared in her life. He is Yin Xiumei's husband Philip, and they know each other strangely. It was just a chance encounter on the plane. This meeting changed two people's lives. It not only makes a French man find true love in a foreign country, but also makes Yin Xiumei, who has been single for ten years, make up for his mental loss again.
At that time, Yin Xiumei was sitting on the plane chatting with Li Na. Philip always stares at this China woman who wears unique clothes, and takes the initiative to strike up a conversation. The fairy tale of love at first sight begins inadvertently.
After such an encounter, Philip made up his mind to start studying Chinese hard, just to keep this fate going, and everything seemed to have been planned. A few months later, Philip invited Yin Xiumei to dinner, but everyone just exchanged pleasantries and made no special progress. However, a year and a half later, an amazing scene touched her. Philip took the initiative to call Yin Xiumei and invited her to dinner in pure Chinese, which surprised her. In Yin Xiumei's own words, she couldn't believe that this man could speak Chinese. She felt that he suddenly spoke. This kind of surprise determines the future communication between two people, and also determines that this love can start and continue.
Everything from an encounter to a grand wedding is as legendary as a fairy tale. 1998, Yin Xiumei and Philip held a grand wedding in Lyon, France. As Yin Xiumei's "family", officials from the Chinese Embassy in France went to congratulate and witnessed the wedding. In this way, she started her married life again. The considerate Philip happens to be her most considerate caregiver. Everything is taken care of so thoughtfully, which not only accommodates her independent and stubborn big woman character, but also gives this beautiful family life a little care from a man. People say that the French are romantic, but Yin Xiumei said that her heart was not touched by Philip's romance, but by the exquisiteness of his life. "When he talks to me, he always wants to put two people together. What should we do? And he respects me very much and pays close attention to some of my preferences. "
After marriage, friends said that Yin Xiumei was spoiled by her husband. At home, Philip gave Yin Xiumei a nickname "Bin Hisa", which means "Bin Laden, Hitler and Saddam". How powerful the trinity is, it is enough to go beyond the meaning of "domineer over". She said she was "overbearing" at home, but Yin Xiumei disagreed. "For example, when he wears a suit, he always asks me what color the tie is. Sometimes he wears a tie himself. When I tell him that this tie is not suitable today, he will say, I'm all dressed up and you want me to change it. I said I couldn't change it, and he said I had to, because as long as you like it. " As the saying goes, it is difficult for an honest official to break housework. Whether it is "overbearing" or not, no one can tell.
Philip's father learned that his son had married a daughter-in-law from China, and he liked Yin Xiumei very much. He even gave his daughter-in-law a ring representing family honor. In France, my father-in-law was afraid that his daughter-in-law couldn't get used to western food, so he wrote recipes based on his understanding of Chinese food and cooked good food for Yin Xiumei. Although fried rice is often baked in the oven, it contains a piece of my father-in-law's heart. Yin Xiumei thinks it is delicious in his mouth.
Once, Yin Xiumei thought that she had to cook for her father-in-law and make a real Chinese meal. On second thought, wonton is quite easy to make. "I'll make wonton once," Yin Xiumei thought. My father-in-law has been thinking about "wonton" since he served him a meal. Later, whenever I entered China restaurant, wonton became a must-have food for my father-in-law. If he says no, he will be unhappy and say, "What is a China restaurant without wonton?"
The days passed in this kind of happiness and laughter. After ten years of choice, Yin Xiumei finally found his home and warm harbor.
a man of temperament
Yin Xiumei's unique personality as a big woman in the north is too much for many people. To describe it with Philip's jokes, it's a bit "Ben Hisa". What is "life's core monuments"? It is the collective name of bin Laden, Hitler and Saddam Hussein. On the one hand, it says that Yin Xiumei's personality is a bit arbitrary, dictatorial and even hegemonic. On the other hand, it also shows that she always shows people with a strong attitude in family life and career, which makes people feel a little nervous.
When friends around me comment on Yin Xiumei, they always like to say her persistent mantra, that is, "Be a bear, go away and find a cigarette". It can be said that among all the actresses active in the entertainment circle in recent years, her personality should be unique. She always speaks without beating around the bush. To her friends, she is like a mirror. Although sometimes it is easy to offend people because of her frankness, everyone loves her very much and regards her as their big sister.
Yin Xiumei, who was born in the northern coal city, not only infected everyone around him with his own singing, but also infected all his relatives and friends with his simple and fiery personality. As everyone commented, in her acting career of more than 20 years, she deserves the praise of a flag and an example, and so does being a person.
