Wang Jieshi

essential information

Acting experience

Wang Jieshi was born in Beijing in 1952. After working hard with Xie Fengming, she first introduced her own style of singing popular songs in 1978. "In the past, Wang Xietang and Qianyan flew into ordinary people's homes" has become a favorite star in people's hearts. They sing with tacit understanding, elegant, friendly and natural style, can accurately grasp the characteristics and connotation of the song, and inject distinct personality, unique in art, the chorus part of the two people is especially harmonious, pleasant, more attractive, become the golden partner of the two people since the 1980s, it is really rare. The songs they have sung, such as "morning on campus", "better laugh than cry", "Grandma's Penghu Bay", "country road", "sunny day in 1999", "Dragon Boat melody", "Why are flowers so red" and so on, are still widely spread, deeply affecting the three generations.

Most friends over the age of 25 will never forget the brilliance of the duet of Wang Jieshi and Xie Lizi in the contemporary singing world of our country; their songs such as grassland pastoral and morning on campus leave a beautiful memory for people with their fresh, lively and cordial singing style. Since 1978, their duets have been sung all over the country from the northeast. They have produced more than 10 tapes and more than 200 cooperative songs. Now, in the face of the difficult art of singing, they are worried. She believes that the lack of audience is undoubtedly a retrogression of literature and art. However, in the era of economic take-off, it is only temporary that we do not pay enough attention to the literary and intellectual circles. Because if a country wants to be strong and prosperous and go to the world, it cannot do without culture.

Step into the singing world

They still insist on pursuing their own art, "because there is still room for development in terms of sound state, mastery of style and proficiency. Young Wang Jieshi is just suffering from the lack of good songs that are suitable for us to sing." When the topic turned to the fans, she was a little excited: "some girls are young. It's understandable that they blindly worship the stars of Hong Kong and Taiwan. But when they are so obsessed, they don't even want self-respect and self love. It's pitiful. When they are over this age and mature, they will think it's ridiculous to look back. But it's too late for them to recover their past time, friendship and self. We have also been chased by star chasers, sometimes receiving hundreds of letters a day. I had a real conversation with them at that time. We should separate the images on the stage and on the screen from the actors. Singers and movie stars are human beings and have their own joys and sorrows. Moreover, RTHK pursues the packaging effect, blowing the stars as if they were falling from the sky. If you think of them too perfectly, you will be disappointed once you touch them. " Finally, with the tone of the past and the sense of responsibility of the actors, she advises the young men and women who pursue the stars not to indulge in chasing the stars, but to cheer up: "on the road to success, as long as they are willing to pursue persistently, everyone will find their own position and get the joy of success.".

The road to fame

Wang Jieshi participated in the 1982 new song selection concert. Shirley and I came to Shanghai again at the beginning of the year. According to the reporter, many young people have been queuing up all night to buy tickets in order to listen to our songs. This makes us feel very guilty, because it shows that we have performed too little for you. It's not humility, it's reality. Let's talk about the Beijing mansion where I live. There are more than 20 families. There are morning shift, middle shift and evening shift. I have to avoid them when I practice singing. Because no matter how nice the songs are, you will feel tired of them. It's strange that you are not tired of singing all day long. Letters from young friends came like snowflakes. When it comes to my cooperation with Shelley, many people don't know the situation, and some have misunderstandings. At the age of 35, she was admitted to the secondary school attached to the Central Conservatory of music in 1964. After graduation, she joined the New Film Orchestra. Although she is young, she has spent more than ten years in vocal music. She is not only my "partner", but also my teacher. Let's tell a little story. I'm the "old three" of Beijing Dengshikou middle school. I'm 30 years old. After the army was demobilized in 1973, it was assigned to work as a repairman in Beijing motor transport company. In 1974, it was admitted to the Central Academy of drama. I learned to perform. To be honest, I didn't have talent in performance. When I went to Beijing Film troupe three years later, my highest achievement in performance was playing a "big crowd" in a film. Probably because I love singing since I was a child, so I have a special affinity with music. I got the approval of the leader to apply for the film band (the original new film band). Unexpectedly, one of the examiners was Shelley. To tell you a joke, if Shelley had said a few "bad words" to me at that time, maybe I would still be a mass actor now. Now some directors choose actors with big eyes, double eyelids and white faces. Look at me - silly big guy, squinting eyes. Which director can look up to? My cooperation with Shelley began in 1978. At that time, the orchestra came up with two duets. Let me have a try. I didn't expect that we would sing "Shaoshan green bamboo evergreen". We had a good "self feeling" when we had a try. From then on, we became a couple. Some people say that our cooperation is a "perfect match". This is a compliment. In fact, we all have unspeakable difficulties. Shelley's wife is a drama actor, also a busy man, for the sake of art, they sent the five-year-old girl to the kindergarten. My wife's health is not very good, so I have to choose the housework, such as taking milk, buying vegetables, and delivering meals. Fortunately, I have a retired mother, otherwise my two-and-a-half-year-old doesn't know what to do. Still, we came.

Singing style

Over the past few years, we have been groping for our own way in singing style. Our requirements for ourselves are that the songs we sing should be healthy and upward, the songs should make people feel friendly, the costumes should be dignified and generous, and the performances should be concise and clean. According to the hobbies of young people, the songs we sing can be roughly divided into these categories: first, folk songs. Such as "Kangding Love Song"; the second is the new creation of songs. Such as "wish song"; the third is film songs. I often think, I am also a young man, what should I do for my young friends? Just during the performance of the new song selection concert, a young man of my age wrote to me, and attached with the letter were photos of his newly born twins. This friend told me that he once went to Heilongjiang to join the team. After returning to Shanghai, he had a gastrectomy. He was depressed for a time. After listening to our song, he cheered up. He said he wanted his children to love music when they were young. After reading the letter from this stranger, I was deeply moved. I can't think of any words to thank my young friends for their encouragement. In a word, I would like to sing more for your joy.
