After producing Ye Huan's album "Put Your Heart in My Hands", Chen Xiunan's creation has entered a peak season. The partnership between Chen Xiunan and Chen Dali was responsible for more than 90% of the album production and title songs at the "UFO" record company, such as "Choice", "Go Home", "Am I Just Your Game", "The Sea", "Not Every Love Song Has Good Memories", etc., almost every hit and song was a hit.

The only contemporary Taiwanese gold medal producer who is as famous as Lee Chung-sheng. Starting from the campus folk song movement, he formed the "Acoustic Guitar Choir" with Lee Chung-shing. Later, the two of them dominated the records of "UFO" and "Rolling Stone" respectively. As a music leader, he has composed more than 300 popular songs and produced more than 500 popular classics.

Chen Dali and Chen Xiunan are another gold medal creative duo in "UFO Records" besides the gold medal partners of Chen Zhiyuan and Chen Lerong. Unlike Chen Zhiyuan and Chen Lerong, who are responsible for music and lyrics, the creative combination of Chen Dali and Chen Xiunan is more like a combination of one lyricist plus one point and five composers. Because he cannot read music, Chen Dali is constantly inspired by melodies. Most of the time, he has to rely on a partner like Chen Xiunan to write his melody motives onto the music. After polishing and integrating them, he completes a complete song. works. Therefore, in the composer column of many "UFO Records" albums, Chen Dali's name will always be followed by the name Chen Xiunan.

Evaluation

From today's perspective, or from an expert's perspective, Chen Dali's and Chen Xiunan's compositions should have many shortcomings: no depth, no strong artistry; the masses tend to focus on melody It is popular, and rarely takes into account the singer's personal characteristics (for example, the fast song composed for Aaron Kwok, there is not much difference when Jimmy Lin sings it); the tune structure has formed a certain stylization, and there are many similarities (the whole song has less similarities) , but similarities and deja vu between sentences are not uncommon).

However, it is truly a miracle to be able to achieve almost all hits and songs in the 1990s when Chinese pop music was very prosperous. Looking around the music world, this phenomenon is basically unique. Hong Kong lyricist Lin Xi single-handedly supports half of the Hong Kong music scene. Writing at least four lyrics every day is certainly a miracle, but after all, he is writing lyrics rather than composing music, so it is not comparable. Being able to create so many popular songs, no matter what, is worthy of learning and admiration.
