No.1 in folk songs by the Ministry of Culture
In the mid-197s, Gong Linna was born in an ordinary family in Guiyang, Guizhou Province. His father was a doctor, his mother worked in a company, and there was a younger brother at home. Although he was not born into a musical family, Gong Linna showed extraordinary voice talent from an early age. At the age of five, she first appeared on the stage, sang "My Wish" solo, and appeared on TV. The lyrics were to the effect that "I have a wish to be a singer when I grow up"
At the age of seven, she was admitted to the Vivi Art Troupe of Nanming District Children's Palace in Guiyang, and performed on weekends. The Guizhou folk songs she sang were very popular. Gong Linna is proud to say that she is a person who has seen a lot since childhood, and since then, she has seen her dream: singing folk songs.
At the age of p>16, Gong Linna was already a little-known child star in Guizhou. He won a bunch of prizes and studied vocal music with teachers from Guizhou Song and Dance Troupe and Guizhou Art School, and gradually began to feel dissatisfied with the isolated environment in his hometown. One day, she saw Wu Bixia on TV, when Wu was a student in the middle school attached to China Conservatory of Music. So, she wrote a letter to Wu Bixia and learned the news of enrollment from the reply. After half a year, she was admitted to the national vocal music major of the affiliated middle school.
from p>1992 to 1999, Gong Linna spent seven years in China Conservatory of Music and its affiliated middle school, and graduated with the title of "No.1 in Folk Songs" by the Ministry of Culture. In the past, teachers and classmates were most impressed by her, except for her recognized "iron voice", which was a "hard work" for studying: she cherished time like gold and got up in the dark at 5 o'clock every day to practice her voice. Gong Linna, who is not a beautiful woman, didn't realize the difficulties in the future. Like every student, she signed up for the Youth Song Competition from the freshman year. The college wanted to reserve places for senior students. As a singer selected by gztv, she was denounced when she entered the semi-finals, on the grounds that her household registration was in Beijing, and she did not go on stage after the semi-finals.
The second time, she was a junior, and she was the first in the preliminary competition within the school. There are 19 places in the semi-final, but she is the 2th. The reason is very simple. The school sent two contestants, and the other girl has a background in CCTV, so it is necessary to get rid of Gong Linna, who is the most threatening to her. The girl didn't work in vain and was very popular for a while. This time, Gong Linna was particularly hard hit, not because she didn't win the prize, but because she didn't know what to do in the future.
After graduating from college, she joined the Central National Orchestra, and it was a grand prix every year. The Youth Song Competition has become a dream that she had to fulfill. The rules of this competition have changed, so it is necessary to join a group. There are no popular and bel canto actors in the national orchestra, so she has to join the delegation of Beijing TV Station. In the preliminary round, she was the first, and she got the prize speaker with alacrity. The leader called her and said, "Heavy ratio."
Because another beautiful female student in Gong Linna didn't take part in the competition, but she has a background, so she needs the quota of Beijing TV. So Gong Linna re-competed as a player in a national orchestra. Perhaps it was too rough before, and this time she finally won the silver award. Fortunately, CCTV changed its director, and the professor with the highest status in folk songs didn't serve as a judge. TanJing, Wang Hongwei, Sa Dingding, Gu Feng, Rong Zhongerjia and Ni Ruisi all came out of that session. "The sense of crisis brought by ugliness"
After graduation, Gong Linna joined the Central National Orchestra as a soloist. Releasing a solo album seems to outsiders to be a smooth career, but she has begun to experience an unprecedented "uneasy" taste.
Gong Linna recalled that in the recording studio, she often heard the sound engineer make fun of you, who sang folk songs, all came out in one basket. As soon as he arrived at the performance, Gong Linna's sense of crisis was even heavier: "I'm not beautiful, so I can't stand it if I go for plastic surgery!"
In the first two years after graduation, Gong Linna was very confused, shuttling on various stages every day, taking "jobs" one by one. In particular, "lip-synching" made her very entangled.
In p>22, by chance, Gong Linna met her husband, the German composer Lao Gong. "Lao Gong" is 1 years older than her. Two years later, she was upgraded from a friend to a husband and wife. In 25, Gong Linna left China, gave up his regular job and moved to Germany with Lao Gong. On the European stage, she has been singing Chinese songs. At first, the western audience couldn't understand it at all. Just following the way of "loud and clear" folk songs, the audience often felt "too exciting", and the worst scene was heard by only nine people.
at first, my career abroad did not develop smoothly. When she appeared in front of the audience with thick makeup and gorgeous clothes, the audience was scared to retreat after just a few words, because her voice was too bright. Then there was a flood of criticism: "It's too artificial and fake, which is really disgusting." "It's simply too much for you to perform music like this!"
In p>26, "Lao Gong" wrote a new song for Gong Linna's concert in Beijing. Named "uneasy". This work won the grand prize of listening to the works of world music writers held in Europe in 29. On the day of Hunan Satellite TV's New Year's concert, Gong Linna's exaggerated costume was comparable to LadyGaga's, which shocked the audience. She sang a sweat, and many audiences in the audience followed suit and sang "relaxing the meridians and activating the collaterals". "Lao Gong" also came, sitting under the stage and applauding his wife assiduously. Speaking of her husband, Gong Linna said with a smile: "He doesn't mind retiring from the background at all. He never thinks that his wife is strong. I am his pride."
Gong Linna, a native of Guizhou, is a soprano and the founder of Chinese Art Nouveau music. She is active in the contemporary world music stage and is known as a "soul singer" and a "real singer". In 1999, he graduated from China Conservatory of Music with the title of "No.1 Folk Song Scholar" of the Ministry of Culture. In 2, he won the silver prize in the national singing professional group of CCTV National Young Singers TV Grand Prix. The masterpiece "Peacock Flying" won the gold medal in the national radio new song appraisal, the top ten golden songs in the Chinese folk song broadcasting arena, and the first place in the China folk song list. He has performed abroad for many times and performed China Art Nouveau songs on the international stage. Gong Linna is devoted to the exploration and creation of Chinese art nouveau music. He is a singer with unique artistic ideas and innovative spirit. It is his artistic ideal to constantly innovate and develop the singing of China songs.
