"The Godfather of Chinese Music" Luo Dayou

In the Chinese music scene, Luo Dayou and Faye Wong are two legendary names, one is the godfather of music, and the other is the Chinese diva. Over the years, we have seen that these two people have basically no intersection, and they are basically the kind of people who never interact with each other until death.

When it comes to the name "Luo Dayou", it can definitely be said to be a thunderous one. This big-name musician known as the "Godfather of Chinese Music", since the release of his first album "Zhihu Zheye" in 1982, It has completely changed the way people listen to Chinese pop songs. Few songs can be circulated for more than three years, but Luo Dayou's songs can. Widely sung songs such as "Childhood", "Story of Time" and "Pearl of the Orient" are still considered classics.

Luo Dayou is not only an excellent singer, but also an excellent musician. He once opened his own company and trained and molded actresses like Wawa Jin Zhijuan. Wawa's representative song "Across the Ocean to See You" has warmed the hearts of many men and women in the world.

We know that Luo Dayou is best at becoming a "diva". From Sylvia Chang, Su Rui, Chen Shuhua, Qi Yu, to Teresa Teng, Pan Yueyun, Priscilla Chan, Feng Feifei, he has collaborated with too many female singers, but only with Faye Wong, it seems ridiculous No relationship at all.

It turns out that they have no intersection. As early as 30 years ago, the two people went through a story from acquaintance to separation. Perhaps it was this unpleasant story that caused the subsequent ending. Faye Wong and Luo Dayou terminated their contract

In 1987, Faye Wong moved to Hong Kong and studied vocal music under Dai Sicong. Two years later, she debuted under the stage name "Wang Jingwen" and became BEYOND's junior sister. She released her first album of the same name "Wang Jingwen".

Faye Wong released two more albums the following year, but these three albums fell into disgrace and did not cause any ripples in the Hong Kong music scene. Faye Wong, who came from Beijing, was still somewhat out of tune with the style of the Hong Kong music scene at that time.

In 1991, Faye Wong's company underwent personnel changes, which coincided with Luo Dayou's return from the United States and the establishment of the "Music Factory" in Hong Kong. Faye Wong's agent Chen Jiantian sold Faye Wong to Luo Dayou for 2 million, and the story of the two officially began.

Although Faye Wong was not famous at that time, she had a cold personality and didn't like to talk. People who don't know her well will always think that she is putting on airs, so Faye Wong doesn't get much attention in her new company.

Luo Dayou has too many things to take care of every day, so he has no time to pay attention to a street singer who has just debuted. In this way, Faye Wong gradually became disheartened, and soon she proposed to go to the United States to study music.

Luo Dayou immediately agreed and arranged for Faye Wong to live in his sister's house.

Later Luo Dayou went to New York, so naturally he wanted to meet Faye Wong. While the two were chatting, Faye Wong suddenly vented all the anger in her heart: "Don't be so indifferent to us! We will all be your cash cows in the future!"

How has Luo Dayou ever experienced this? I'm so angry, even though I am your boss, I spend hundreds of thousands every year to train you, and yet you still get angry at me? So I came up with the idea of ????terminating the contract with Faye Wong and breaking up.

At that time, the partner of Luo Dayou's music company advised him not to be too impulsive, but Luo Dayou said, if I don't terminate the contract with him, I still need to invest 500,000 in her every year. If she still has such a character, when will she be able to flourish? ?

So Luo Dayou came to Faye Wong and proposed to her the idea of ????terminating the contract. Faye Wong was not a servile master, and she actually signed the contract with a swipe of a pen. The two never interacted with each other

After returning to Hong Kong, Wang Jingwen met two "heavyweight" women, one was Chen Jiaying and the other was Qiu Likuan. The two began to find a position for her and tailor-made her song. In 1992, Wang Jingwen's "The Easily Wounded Woman" came out. Her ethereal voice, highly personalized expression, and delicate emotional processing amazed the audience and peers. In one fell swoop, she won awards such as the Top Ten Golden Songs, the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs, and the Top Song on the Popular Music Chart. Later, she changed her name back to "Faye Wong".

Faye Wong finally became famous. Two years later, she was able to make such Versailles remarks to the media: My biggest worry now is that I am too popular!

Since then, Faye Wong has become more and more popular, and she has reached the position of Queen of Heaven. But there was no intersection with Luo Dayou again, and Luo Dayou never mentioned Faye Wong again.

Judging from that experience, Luo Dayou must have made a loss-making business, spending millions without any gains. Faye Wong didn't get any benefits, and she was even more angry.

In the eyes of many people, he should be a talented person who knows people well and uses them well, but because of Faye Wong, his career as a producer has been cast a little "shadow". If he had been more restrained back then, maybe he and Faye Wong could have created another musical legend.

For Faye Wong, the regret is also obvious. If there is a talented music instructor like Luo Dayou by her side, maybe Faye Wong can burst out more possibilities. At the same time, Luo Dayou has rich life experience. If he can lead Faye Wong, maybe Faye Wong's love life will not be so troubled in the future.

But all this became "impossible" after the contract was terminated that year. This is a "tragedy" caused by two arrogant people.
