Character Experience

Nie Anda was born in San Francisco, USA in 1947. He is very close to China. He came to China with his parents who were missionaries when he was one year old. Changsha, Hunan. In 1951, Nie Anda moved to Hong Kong with his parents. I have lived there for more than fifty years. His work in the music industry began secretly when he was studying in school at the age of twelve. He secretly formed a zombie band and rented a place to perform in a team, earning enough pocket money without telling his parents. So much so that when he was 13 years old, his parents were planning to take him to leave Hong Kong to preach elsewhere. Nie Anda was unwilling to leave Hong Kong no matter what. He liked this city full of opportunities so much. Even if his parents threatened him with an economic blockade, it was useless - his parents had no idea that the money little Nie Anda earned at that time was already enough to support himself. In the end, he finally managed to live on his own after his parents entrusted him with a friend. One person freely stayed in Hong Kong to study and secretly continued his dream of music.

Fifteen-year-old Nie Anda founded The Kontinentals, which was later known as "the first officially famous pop band in Hong Kong". It became a hit. He served as the lead singer and began to compose original music. His first debut works "IStillLoveYou" and "IThinkOfHer" topped the only Hong Kong music pop chart of that era. However, due to the need to return to Sweden to serve in the military, The Kontinentals, which was at its peak of fame, had to disband.

After returning from military service, 20-year-old Nie Anda once again founded the band Anders Nelson And The Inspirations, and immediately brought back and sang new songs from many famous foreign contemporaries such as The Beatles, and signed a contract with Diamond Records, the most awesome, has released his own original album. His new band has quickly become famous in a short period of time, and several of its title songs have always topped the pop music charts.

After ending the AndersNelssonAndTheInspirations band, Nie Anda also founded a very Chinese-style "Ming" band in which men wear robes and women wear cheongsam. The Ming Band successfully signed a contract with EMI. Within three years, the "Ming" Band released three albums with EMI. Among them, the following four title songs were very popular in Hong Kong at that time, "Reasons Why", "U'n'I", "KeepOnCrying", " Whife'Eagle", from 1973 to 1976, the popularity of these four songs brought the "Ming" band to the peak of the music scene in the 1970s.

Nie Anda is extremely talented. He was not only a famous singer in the 1960s and 1970s, but also a famous songwriter, musician, program host, and actor. He has collaborated with Gu Jiahui, Huang Zhan, etc. to create many pop songs, film and television music, and has participated in many international music composition competitions and won many awards. Among them, I have to say that he won the Best Music Award at the 1986 Hong Kong Film Awards for "Mr. Zombie".

Nie Anda joked that he had a date with zombies. The first band he formed when he was 12 years old was called the Zombie Band. Unexpectedly, 30 years later, "Mr. Zombie" won the award.

Nie Anda is not only extremely talented, but also has great business acumen. After Nie Anda moved behind the scenes, he served as program artist management director at EMI. During his tenure, he invested heavily in EMI's recording studio and recorded many classic songs of the 1970s, such as George Lam's songs, Luo Wen's songs, Yip Li-yee's songs, etc. Launched and made many singers popular in the 1970s. The most unforgettable thing for him is that in that era when singing English songs was the mainstream, he was the first to feel the market for Cantonese songs. He advised some songwriters such as Huang Zhan and some singers such as Luo Wen to create more songs. Some songs that belong to one’s own country’s culture. The English songs they compose or sing are incomparable to foreigners because of cultural barriers. Instead, they compose or sing Cantonese songs, and they can play to their strengths. Facts have proved that Hong Kong has indeed become a world of Cantonese songs. Huang Zhan later was very grateful to Nie Anda for reminding him on this point. He said that if Nie Anda had not pointed out the way for him and encouraged him to write Cantonese songs, , he may have been obsessed with English songs that he was not good at for a long time.

After leaving EMI, Anda Nie established two companies of his own. The Melody Bank mainly deals with original music and copyright management, and The Entertainment Company mainly deals with artist management and large-scale concerts. Through his successful operation, TheMelodyBank was acquired by BMG, one of the five major record companies, at a high price. And Nie Anda became the executive director of BMG, and became the world's number one saxophone player Kenny G in the Chinese market.

Now, in addition to running his own company, Anda Nie continues to film, sing, and host shows. In "The Foreign Wife, the Local Man", he played the protagonist's love rival Nicholas. In the past few years, he has frequently traveled between Hong Kong and Guangzhou. In addition to filming and performing, more importantly, he is now cooperating with MUSICSALES, the largest music publisher in the UK. His goal is to publish hundreds of thousands of classic English music books copyrighted by the British company. Introduced to China, translated into Chinese, and launched in the Chinese market, so that more Chinese music lovers can see the best foreign music books. So far, more than 200 of these music books have been released in the Chinese market, and the market response has been very good. Nie Anda thinks this is a very meaningful thing. As a professional musician, he has always believed that music is very important for the education and inheritance of future generations. He has launched good music books to help the next generation learn better music. Music, this is his wish as a senior, and it is also what he is working hard to do now.

Personal development history

In the 1990s, Hong Kong had a band craze again, and Nie Anda also He is one of the active members and often participates in the annual Carlsberg Pop Music Festival, playing bands with famous underground bands in Hong Kong such as ANODIZE. Later, he served as the music director of EMI Records and signed singers such as Ekin Cheng and Malia.

In 2008, Nie Anda released a number of singles with English lyrics refilled with famous Chinese songs, including "The Moon Represents My Heart", "Nanniwan", "Love for You", etc.

The first film Da participated in was "The River" starring Bruce Lee more than 30 years ago. Talking about his fate with Bruce Lee, he proudly said: "Because his younger brother also sang. So I have known their family since I was a child, and I was a frequent visitor to their house. Once, Bruce Lee said, "You have never filmed, how about I find a role for you?" I was not yet 30 years old at that time. I felt very excited about acting for the first time, even though it was a role that was played by Bruce Lee." Nie Anda said that Bruce Lee taught him a lot of common sense in acting, and his deepest impression of Bruce Lee was his diligence. Nie Anda revealed that few people knew that Bruce Lee actually liked music, especially Latin music. "He often asked me to bring my guitar to his house for tea during breaks, and then everyone would sing and dance to a Cuban song that Bruce Lee particularly liked. Bruce Lee's dancing was particularly good, and he seemed to have won an award."

Nip Anda, who started out by forming a band and releasing albums, said that what he loves most is music. As the Hong Kong music scene gradually shifted from the era of English songs to the era of Cantonese songs, he gradually stepped behind the scenes after the age of 30. In 3 years Previously, he also supervised the album produced by "Piano Prince" Richard Clayderman and the China Radio Symphony Orchestra. "I am 60 years old this year. When the people from 'Interactive Chords' first came to me to record an album, I was a little scared. After all, I haven't been in a recording studio for several years, and I have been more interested in singing jazz in the past two years." Nie Anda revealed that the record company He was given hundreds of Chinese songs to choose from, including traditional folk songs and popular classics. The first song he selected was "Nanniwan", which was also the most difficult song to fill in English lyrics. "I thought about it for almost a month, but I still didn't fill it out. At 4 o'clock in the morning on the day I came to Guangzhou to record, I suddenly had inspiration and decided to talk about all kinds of 'respect' for people and things. Unexpectedly, I went there last week Performed in Chengdu, the English version of "Nanniwan" was particularly popular.

Speaking of "IDo, IDo" adapted from "Love for You" in the album, Nie Anda expressed his hope that it could be used to commemorate Leslie Cheung. Nie Anda revealed that the song "IDo, IDo" that has received the strongest response in Hong Kong is now. Secondly, It's "The Moon Represents My Heart"

Andrew said that he had dinner with Teresa Teng twice after a friend introduced him. During the dinner, Teresa Teng expressed that she really wanted to sing the English version of this song, but there was too much music. She was not satisfied with the lyrics written by others because "the word 'representative' in the song title was very strange when translated into English. I thought about it for a long time before I came up with 'let the moon express my feelings on my behalf'. For these 6 songs in the album, I not only respect the original lyricists, but also add my own understanding and feelings. "

The reporter asked him if there was any other song he particularly wanted to sing that was not included this time. Nie Anda smiled and said it was "Mouse Loves Rice": "Actually, I have already filled in the lyrics, but due to copyright issues, I'm afraid I can only sing it to my wife. ”

While working behind the scenes, Anda Nie served as music supervisor of EMI Records and executive director of BMG Records. He was responsible for the albums of popular stars such as Theresa Teresa and Ye Liyi, and also signed Ekin Cheng and Fat Mom. "What gives me the most satisfaction is that when KennyG was not yet popular in Asia, I chose the Chinese folk song "Jasmine" for him and asked him to record it. In the imported version of the album. I told him at that time that if I didn't record this song, the album would sell tens of thousands of copies at most, but if I played "Jasmine Flower", it should sell hundreds of thousands of copies. As a result, I didn’t expect that album to eventually sell more than 3 million copies. "Nie Anda said that Kenicki later personally wrote a letter to him on his website to express his gratitude.
