Acting experience

1981-1986

In 1981, after seven years of development, Taiwan folk songs are becoming more and more mature. At the same time, it is not difficult to find the difficulties they are facing. The single music route undoubtedly sounded the alarm for folk songs at this time. For a new generation of inheritors of folk songs, they hope to reverse this situation through their own attempts. Among them, the most influential event is the "Tianshui music collection" studio established by Li Shouquan, Su Lai, Jin Tiezhang, Xu Naisheng, Cai Qin and Li Jianfu. "Tianshui music collection" is a studio established and producer after Li Shouquan finished Yang Yaodong's album "seasonal rain" and was published by Xinge records. Tianshui music collection is the first music studio in Taiwan. In fact, the "Tianshui music collection" only released Li Jianfu's "chaila Khan" album and Li Jianfu and Cai Qin's "a thousand springs", which were released by Sihai records and announced to be disbanded. However, these two works can be regarded as the classic works to turn the tide at the end of the era of folk songs The album ranked 40th, and Li Jianfu and Cai Qin's "a thousand springs" ranked 39th.

In 1982, after the dissolution of "Tianshui music collection", Li Shouquan successively produced Liu Wenzheng's album "like the sun", which was published by Jinsheng records; Jasper's album "why the sun doesn't come", which was published by rolling stone records; pan yueyun's special album "sky blue every day", which was published by rolling stone records. It is worth mentioning that pan yueyun's "sky blue every day" album. Although there are many singers in Taiwan, there are not many voices that can be recognized by listening to them. Pan yueyun is one of them. In 1982, pan yueyun quickly became a member of the music world by creating more than 100000 copies of the amazing sales volume of "sky blue every day". With the classic charm of the works in the album and her clear and broad voice, pan yueyun fully showed the romantic feelings of Qiongyao and Sanmao at that time. Sky blue every day won the Golden Horse Award for best producer (Li Shouquan) ）The three awards of best singing (Pan yueyun) and best arrangement (Chen Zhiyuan) are regarded as meaningful works in the later period of Folk Song era. They were incorporated into "Taiwan's top 100 records" and ranked fourth.

In 1983, Li Shouquan successively produced pan yueyun's albums "Yanzhi Beitou" and "silent song", both of which were published by rolling stone records. "Yanzhi Beitou" was also selected as "Taiwan's top 100 records", ranking 52nd. In addition, he also produced Suri's album the original sound of the movie "taking the wrong bus", which was published by UFO records. The album "the original sound of the movie" by Li Shouquan is regarded musically as another revolution in the creation of Taiwan's song circles at that time after Luo Dayou's "it's too much" in 1982. Suri, who is dressed in black and full of true feelings, breaks the image of female singers who have been weak for many years, and it is difficult for anyone to inherit and carry forward. "Take the wrong bus" movie soundtrack was also selected as "Taiwan's top 100 records", ranking second.

In 1984, Li Shouquan produced Li Jianfu's album Kua Fu pursues the sun, which was published and released by rolling stone records. He also produced Tian Xiren's album "lighting the sun", Hong Ronghong's album "old love" and his performance album "Golden Horse Award movie music", which were all released by Guangmei records.

In 1985, Li Shouquan supervised the production of red ant chorus's album "from now on", which was published by Himalayan records; Tai Zhaomei's album "Tai Zhaomei 6", which was published by Guangmei records; Wu Dawei's album "cold night" and Liang Hongzhi's special album "about feeling", which were both published by Himalayan records.

For Li Shouquan in 1985, there are two things that are very meaningful. One is that Li Shouquan, Luo Dayou and Zhang Aijia organized the "tomorrow will be better" activity together. On October 25, 1985, Li Shouquan, Luo Dayou and Zhang Aijia spontaneously organized and gathered the information from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, including Qiyu, Li Zongsheng, Suri, Huang Yingying, Tong Angu, Zhou Huajian, Fei Yuqing, pan yueyun, Cai Qin, Wenwen, Wu Qixian, Zhenni, WAWA, Zheng Yi, Yang Lin, Qi Qin, Zhang Qingfang, Wang Zhilei, Li Bihua and Lin Huiping More than 60 pop singers, including Jiang Hui, Chen Shuhua, Wang Menglin, Baihe duet, Li Jianfu, David Wu, Lin Shurong, Hong Ronghong, Shi Xiaorong, Tang Xiaoshi, Xu Nailin and LAN Xinmei, jointly sang a public welfare song "tomorrow will be better" to pray for world peace, call for people to help the poor, and welcome the 1986 World Peace year.

Tomorrow will be better is composed by Luo Dayou, Zhang Dachun, Xu Naisheng, Li Shouquan, Qiu Fusheng, Zhang Aijia and Zhan Hongzhi. It is composed by Luo Dayou and produced by Li Shouquan. After its launch, the work has aroused great repercussions in the Chinese world. However, just as the peace and love advocated in the works gradually entered the hearts of the public, the charity work eventually became a propaganda means used by politicians.

At the end of the year, in Taiwan's "general election", a certain party openly used songs to play the banner of "want a better tomorrow". People who didn't know about it naturally labeled the songs as political songs. Although "tomorrow will be better" was a voluntary and collective act, all the accusations of "being seduced by politics" finally fell to Luo Dayou, the songwriter in the United States On the head. In this way, one of the most touching scenes in the history of Taiwan's pop music had to end in the confusion of cheating and being cheated.

Second, Li Shouquan published his first EP album "the future of the future", which was published by rolling stone. "The future of the future" is launched in the name of the soundtrack of the movie "super citizen". There are only two songs and two pieces of music in the whole album, which is a great challenge to both Li Shouquan and Taiwan Mandarin music at that time. Li Shouquan makes full use of the concepts derived from the film "super citizen" directed by Wan Ren in music, truly conveys all kinds of puzzles in urban life, and presents a style and concept different from the market form.

In 1986, Li Shouquan released his first real album "8 and 1 / 2" after his attempt of "the future of the future".

In this album, works such as "my wish", "office worker's Day", "incomplete corner" and "occupy ximending" all play the most difficult and valuable social effects of pop music.

After the release of 8 and 1 / 2, Li Shouquan never released a personal album. However, this album released just after 1 / 2 of the 1980s has brought incomparable social effects to Taiwan's pop music. It can be said that it is an indelible memory of that era. "8 and 1 / 2" was also selected as "Taiwan's top 100 records", ranking 24th.

This is an album for homeless people. On the copy of the album, there is such a saying: "always remember when to stop wandering. In fact, life is wandering. Driven by the past, led by the future. " This is the life message of a Taiwanese musician in the 1980s, but 20 years later, it is still not out of date. At the same time, it is also a very gray album, a music diary about the cruel death of youth. When most of the pop music records are in the process of aesthetic construction of the main melody, Li Shouquan chose to expose and examine the injury by himself. The name of the album "8 and half" is probably derived from the Italian film "8 and half" of the same name by Fellini. Maybe Li Shouquan wants to use this dazzling but inexplicable film to express a kind of confusion and confusion. The whole album is introverted, simple and fluent in melody, simple and true in lyrics, and has both perceptual perception and rational thinking. Li Shouquan's mature and deep male voice makes this album not perfect but full of vitality.

In the same year, Li Shouquan was the producer of Zhang Xueyou's first Mandarin album love without four returns, which will become one of the four pop kings in Hong Kong.

1987-2001

In 1987, Li Shouquan set up "riomusic", and produced dolls' albums "happy girl" and "feeling of love" in that year. Wang Jie's album "a game, a dream" was published by UFO records, among which "a game, a dream" ranked 66th among Taiwan's top 100 records. When Wang Jie first showed his songs to Li Shouquan through his friends in the recording studio, he felt the vicissitudes of Wang Jie's voice, and even felt lost in social life. So Li Shouquan went directly to Wang Jie to cooperate with him and made "a game, a dream".

In 1988, Li Shouquan produced Wang Jie's album "forget you, forget me", and created the album song "heart of youth" (composition), which was published and released by UFO records; he produced pan yueyun's album "the road of love", which was published and released by rolling stone records, and was incorporated into "Taiwan Top 100 records", ranking 29th.

In 1989, Li Shouquan produced Wang Jie's album "do I really have nothing?" which was published by UFO records, and sang the song "I wake up" with Wang Jie and Suri. In addition, he co supervised Wang Jie's first Cantonese album "the role of the story" with Guo Xiaolin, which was published by Warner records and UFO records. Since then, Wang Jie has developed simultaneously in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and Li Shouquan has been unable to deal with Wang Jie's career development
