Original title: “We Rock to Chengdu” Global Launch Chen Yixuan: Let the World Understand Chengdu
On May 9, “We Rock to Chengdu” was launched simultaneously on the entire global network. With its dynamic rhythm and brisk melody, it received countless praises. It is worth mentioning that this is also the first English-language international promotion song in Chengdu, which is preparing for the Universiade. The reporter found that one of the four singers was Chen Yixuan, a female singer from Hong Kong, China. She made everyone remember this tall and outstanding female singer by virtue of her classic song “A Long Time Must Get Married” duet with Li Keqin. Talking about the recording of “We Rock to Chengdu”, Chen Yixuan said with emotion, “It is very international, very dynamic, and very representative of the enthusiasm of the city of Chengdu.” Interestingly, Hong Kong singers from China who have recently become popular with their singing programs Zeng Bit is actually Chen Yixuan’s younger brother. “That song “Bicycle” was really good. I cried, so I sent him a message at the time. I know that he has experienced this kind of experience, so he was able to interpret this song so well.” Chen Yixuan told reporters.
On the 2022 Chengdu Spring Festival Evening, “Dancing Chengdu”, sung by Han Geng, became an overnight hit and became the most popular rhythm at the beginning of the new year. And the English version of the song “We Rock to Chengdu” is jointly performed by four new Chinese singer-songwriters, including Chen Yixuan, which not only shows the youth, enthusiasm and vitality of Chengdu in the dynamic melody , more show the full of urban fashion vitality. At present, this song has been launched on international and domestic music platforms including Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, YouTube Music, NetEase Cloud Music, Tencent Music (QQ Music, Kugou Music, Kuwo Music), etc. The MV of the song will also be launched simultaneously on various video sharing platforms around the world in the near future. At that time, the unique life fireworks and urban temperament of Chengdu will be interpreted from different angles.
Among them, Chen Yixuan is a singer from Hong Kong, China. In order to prepare for the recording and shooting of this song, she has been working in Chengdu for more than two months. “It’s an honor to participate in the performance of this song, which is both international and dynamic, and can represent the enthusiasm of the city of Chengdu.” Speaking of the recording of this song, Chen Yixuan bluntly said that it went very smoothly. “Although I didn’t know the other three singers before, because the producer of this song is also the singer Wang Yun returned from studying in Boston, USA, and I was studying in Boston, so everyone had the same experience, and many things became familiar very quickly. Of course, before the official recording, we also took a little time to warm up, collide with each other for inspiration, and provide each other with advice, and the final effect (song) presented everyone is very satisfied.”
Looking at Chen Yixuan’s social media, I found that she likes sports very much and keeps her figure very well. “Running, swimming, yoga, Pilates, I am a person who likes to try, and I have tried many sports. In addition to keeping fit, exercise will really make people very happy.” Chen Yixuan told reporters with a smile, ” In Hong Kong, I like mountaineering very much, and the outdoors can stretch people’s body and mind. After working in Chengdu this time, I am going to climb Mount Emei.” Perhaps because she has practiced ballet since she was a child, Chen Yixuan most wants to watch gymnastics and diving competitions at the Chengdu Universiade . “How should I put it, there is artistic beauty, and I use posture and body to show this beauty. Like Guo Jingjing, Fu Mingxia, and Liu Xuan, they are all athletes that I particularly admire.”
Talking about the common ground between singers and athletes, Chen Yixuan blurted out, “persist”. “Being a singer has been my dream since I was a child. I have been singing since I was 6 years old. I have experienced many storms in the middle, but I have never given up, because this is what I like the most. I have always felt that the meaning of my life is on the stage, so I know You must persevere. Athletes, too, will encounter many setbacks. Competitions are often beyond your control, but only with continuous perseverance and unremitting efforts can you become a better version of yourself.” Chen Yixuan said with emotion.
“Come to Chengdu to achieve your dreams”, this is the most attractive thing for Chen Yixuan in the city of Chengdu. “Chengdu is a warm and happy city. I think when the Universiade is held, it will definitely make the city more dynamic and let the whole world feel the more international charm of Chengdu.” Chen Yixuan told reporters.
He was still studying abroad at the time of the fire
The experience of “invisibility” made me mature
Indeed, Chen Yixuan, who became famous at a young age, disappeared from the public eye for a long time. If it is not “persistence”, there is no better Chen Yixuan now. “At that time, the whole industry changed a lot. Because of my appearance and height, I did a lot of modeling work and of course filming. I think everyone felt that I ‘disappeared’, not only because I changed my name, but also because of the type of song Instead of singing pop songs, he focused on jazz.”
After starting jazz performances, Chen Yixuan often collaborated with different bands. But as her gigs grew, she realized it would be better to have her own band. “So I formed my own band and participated in different performances and different music festivals.” This experience made Chen Yixuan grow up rapidly. Now that she returns to Universal Music, she will not only cherish it more, but also let her understand that everyone works hardships and difficulties. “When I first debuted, because I was young, I didn’t understand many things. When I encountered a problem, I hid at home and cried. Now that people are mature, they will know how to solve problems in more ways. I cherish everyone’s love for me. Give and help, because I understand, I have endured, really.”
Chatting with Chen Yixuan, “A Long Time Must Get Married” is an unavoidable topic. This classic duet song released in 2004 was a hit, and it also made Chen Yixuan, who was still studying, win the Bronze Award for Outstanding Performance in the Top Ten Golden Songs at the end of 2005. “I was very lucky at the time to be able to collaborate with Keqin on the first song. He is a very good teacher and brother. When I sang this song on TVB for the first time, I was a little nervous and Keqin dragged my hand. Coming to power has given me a lot of good information and confidence.” When “A Long Time Must Get Married” was the most popular, Chen Yixuan was still studying abroad. “To be honest, I can’t feel it myself. Many friends will call me and say that they are singing your songs at karaoke, and your songs are ranked No. 1 on KTV.”
Chen Yixuan did not actually have that kind of emotional experience when she sang “A Long Time Must Get Married”. “I think the best thing about this song is that its sentence pattern is a question mark. In Cantonese, the pronunciation of ‘marriage’ and ‘fen’ is the same, so the way of question marks can give you more imagination and thinking. Now I have richer emotions and mentality, and I really want to have the opportunity to re-interpret this classic K song in a new way,” Chen Yixuan said frankly.
Zeng Bit is her younger brother
The HK Phil accompanies our growth
Today, Li Keqin continues to shine in the music variety show “The Sound of Life”, and Chen Yixuan is also sincerely happy for him. “The HK Phil grew up with me. As soon as I heard it, I immediately opened up my memories and thought of some of my own stories. And I think there are two very powerful people in the HK Phil (Alan Tam and Hacken Lee), and I have the opportunity to work with them. , so lucky.” Chen Yixuan told reporters that not only Alan Tam and Li Keqin, but also Eason Chen and Eason have worked together and made a movie “Whenever Changes”.
In Chen Yixuan’s memory, the 1980s and 1990s were not only the most powerful period of economic development in Hong Kong, China, but also the peak of the Hong Kong Philharmonic. “People always live in their own era, so hearing these songs is like returning to the most glorious years in Hong Kong.” But it cannot be ignored that the younger generation of singers in Hong Kong, China, are not too top-notch. “Actually, there was a time when the music scene in Hong Kong was dead, but in the past two years it has become active again, like a roller coaster. There are ups and downs, perhaps the most interesting life,” Chen Yixuan told reporters. There is a reason for the darkest times of happiness. “At the end of the last century, there were regulations that no cover songs could be sung, and singers had to sing original works. But if you couldn’t find so many high-level songwriters, there would be no good songs. Now, a younger generation of musicians has appeared, and new creations have been created. A large number of good works have brought the Hong Kong music scene back to its former vigor.”
Just like Zeng Bit, the brilliant explosive head in “The Sound of Life”, he is one of the best. “Mike (Zeng Bit) is my junior brother. I signed back to Universal in 2018, and he signed in 2019. He is really good, and his performance on stage is very good. Like the cover of “Bicycle” with Lin Zixiang on the stage before. “It’s so touching. I cried, so I sent him a message at the time.” “Bicycle” describes the family relationship between father and son, and Chen Yixuan revealed that Zeng Bit also felt the same way in this regard, so he was able to interpret it so movingly. “
Although she has experienced a lot, Chen Yixuan, who has returned from dormancy, hopes to make everyone more relaxed through her works. “I released an album last year called “Tasting”, all of which are classic covers. I think we have been too nervous in this world and have been influenced by various aspects. I hope my jazz songs can make people Relax and bring people a warm and relaxed picture, scene and body feeling.” And this album, which was also a gold record last year, was recognized by the record industry. “Next, I will return to pop and continue to release albums full of Cantonese juice, Cantonese flavor and Hong Kong music. I always believe that singers must pass albums one after another, so that everyone can see that this person is still working hard. Sing.”Return to Sohu, see more
