How was Richie Jen, who had been refrigerated by the company for five years, rescued by bugs?

Although there is one person who is not among them, most of the post-80s people will be impressed when they mention his songs.

At that time, "Too Soft-hearted", "Look at the girl across the street" and "Sad Pacific" established his position in the music world.

Curly hair, heartless smile and running around in beach pants were his first impressions.

This man is Richie Jen.

-Ye Gongzi talked about it.

0 1 Road to Dreams

Many young people may not have heard Richie Jen's songs, and they don't know how angry he is.

Let's just say that his songs are 10 times more popular than Little Apple!

And more than one song is so popular, there are many more!

Ye Gongzi will definitely arrest anyone after 80s, and everyone knows about Richie Jen.

Richie Jen 1966 was born in Changhua, Taiwan Province, but his parents were originally from Jiangxia District, Wuhan, Hubei.

When the war broke out, he became a soldier at the age of Dad 17. After leaving home, he hasn't had a chance to set foot in his hometown for decades.

Dad first followed the troops to Vietnam, and then followed the troops to Taiwan Province Province before he settled down.

In the first half of my life, my father ran around, eager for stability and hoped that the children's lives would be smooth.

Richie Jen's father attached great importance to his childhood education, but Ricky just didn't like reading and only liked singing.

When he was a little older, his hair grew to his shoulders. For this reason, Ren Dad was angry with him.

When Richie Jen was a child, he liked setting off firecrackers very much. On New Year's Day, he and his friends threw firecrackers everywhere, and his angry father chased him. He couldn't catch up and had to sulk.

In high school, he liked the girls in the class next door. He racked his brains in pursuit of each other. I heard that the other person likes boys who can play guitar, so he studied guitar hard and wrote "Spring Show" by himself.

/kloc-when he was 0/8 years old, Richie Jen went to the army, and he couldn't make up his mind to go to that unit. His mother suggested that he draw lots, and as a result, he got the hardest and most tired Marine Corps.

After returning, he continued to take the entrance examination. Richie Jen entered the Department of Physical Education of Chinese Culture University at the age of 265,438+0.

At that time, he became more and more obsessed with music, and spent most of his college time studying music.

Besides, he also works in a musical instrument shop, where he can practice musical instruments for free.

Later, Richie Jen pooled some money with some students who like music, formed a band and began to sing on campus.

However, it was also quite bitter at that time. A few people, with a cavity of enthusiasm, drove around in a broken car that barely squeezed five people.

The worst time, several people sang on the stage, and the following people began to leave one after another. Finally, there was only an old man with a child in his arms and a dog at his feet.

With the indomitable spirit, the band gradually gained some fame. Later, the band traveled all over the university campus of Taiwan Province Province and sang 100 times.

1990, Richie Jen signed a contract with Taiwan Province New Song Record Company and formally set foot in the record industry.

Signing a record company doesn't mean that this opportunity will increase, just not as free as when he was alone.

However, the company also released three albums for him, but it did not cause much sensation in the market.

At that time, Richie Jen's biggest dream was to work hard and try again until he could go to Hung Hom for a concert.

People always encounter some twists and turns in the process of finding their dreams, and so does Richie Jen.

02 the most difficult years

199 1 This year has not been easy for Richie Jen. This year, the original record company was dissolved and accepted by Rolling Stone Records, followed by Richie Jen.

When he first came to the Rolling Stones, Richie Jen still had a good wish that there would be many opportunities to make records. After all, Rolling Stone is a big company, but after he entered, he hasn't released any records for five years in a row.

At that time, there were many singers under the Rolling Stones, and there were more unknown young singers like Richie Jen, so it was difficult to get ahead.

At the end of each year, the company will arrange a group of artists who want to cancel their contracts. Richie Jen is among them every year, and the end of each year is the most worrying moment for Richie Jen.

However, a man left Richie Jen again and again, saying that he had an idea for him (Richie Jen), but this "idea" came and went for three years.

This man is Richie Jen's "Bole" worm.

During these five years, Richie Jen's job in the company was to be a handyman. In the morning, he helps to buy breakfast, while cleaning the office, distributing lunch boxes for the company and mopping the floor, all of which are Richie Jen's daily activities.

Jiu Kong, an artist who worked hard with Richie Jen, once joked on the show: "He should not sit on the bench in those years, but should always sit in the freezer."

In order to make a living, he went to the night show as a DJ, went to the radio station as a host, hosted children's programs, and walked on in TV dramas.

As long as he can earn money and make a living, Richie Jen does all the work, and the rest of the time is spent practicing and writing songs.

Although he is an artist under the Rolling Stone, the company seems to have forgotten this person and never thought of giving Richie Jen a job.

Jiu Kong said: "What I remember most is that the company arranged for us to shoot funny short plays. Everyone must play the clown. At that time, there were no assistants Several people are both hosts and assistants, and they have to play clowns. If we take the funny route, let's forget it. He was an idol at that time. Like us, it was really miserable at that time. "

This kind of life, until 1996, finally ended.

In this life, everyone seems to meet someone who is similar to a teacher. They appeared in our most difficult time and will have a far-reaching impact on us in the future.

Bug is such an existence for Richie Jen.

From 65438 to 0996, Richie Jen's work in Rolling Stone was taken over by Bug, and then Bug started his own "winning the red" plan.

That year, the solo album Dependence was released.

I let you lean on, let you lean on my arms; Cry if you want, no one will know; It's no big deal that I let you rely on it; Stop thinking about him and forget all his goodness.

It is estimated that many post-80s people can sing a few words fluently when they see this lyric.

As soon as the album was released, it spread all over Taiwan Province Province and sold 200,000 copies in just one month.

In this way, Richie Jen, who had been "frozen" for five years, was pulled back to the position of a singer.

Richie Jen never expected such support.

Many years later, Richie Jen was already a king, but Boog's personal savings were swept away by his assistant, and his life was very bad.

When Richie Jen heard about it, he immediately contacted Bug and prepared a large sum of money for him, hoping to help Bug solve the urgent need.

This is probably the best feeling in the world. Everyone lives separately when they are good. When I hear that you are in trouble, I will stand up.

Later, in an interview with a bug, he told it with a smile. Behind the smile, he was proud of having such a bosom friend.

03 the origin of softhearted

If "Reliance" makes Richie Jen a singer again, then "Too Soft" pushes Richie Jen to the ranks of first-line singers.

1At the end of 996, Bug went to Las Vegas for a holiday, and his fingers itch, so he was ready to gamble.

That day, Bug was super lucky and kept winning. There was a super beauty on the opposite table, and he finally won her face.

On the way back to the hotel, the bug always felt guilty. How can you be so cruel to such a beautiful woman? So I turned around and drove back.

Back at the poker table, Bug's luck took a turn for the worse. He not only lost the money he won from the beautiful woman to the other side, but also put the chips he brought in.

Returning to the car after the game, the more I think about it, the more I regret it. I wrote the words "You are always too soft-hearted" in an essay. After returning to the hotel, I finished writing the song "Too Soft-hearted" in one breath.

At this time, the wave of the four kings just faded, and most of them began to move to the film market, leaving a big market in the record market. As it happens, Richie Jen caught up.

Bug called Richie Jen to the United States with a phone call, and recorded the song in the United States.

You are always too soft-hearted, and all the problems are your own back; Love is always too simple to get along with. If it's not yours, don't force it. If it's not yours, don't force it.

This song sold 26 million copies as soon as it was released, which was nothing compared with the 200,000 copies of Trust.

For a time, his name resounded all over the world, and Qi also won the prize and became soft.

Later, Teacher Zhao sang "Too Soft Heart" in the Spring Festival Evening, and Faye Wong also recommended "Too Soft Heart" when he participated in the program. This song has also started to catch fire in the mainland.

Some people used to describe the popularity of "too soft-hearted" by saying "I can leave by 99" and that no one can't sing.

Years of dormancy, years of forbearance, years of depression, and an instant outbreak.

At this time, Richie Jen is a little high. Richie Jen recalled: "I used to be disliked wherever I went. After the fire, I found that everyone is praising you and praising you, and that feeling will easily float. "

Later, Richie Jen didn't dare to speak loudly, his temper became bigger, his attitude became arrogant, and he gradually lost his true colors.

Once I went to the studio to record, Richie Jen couldn't calm down and couldn't sing well. Recorded over and over again, but still failed to meet the requirements of the Bug.

The bug said to him, "Qi, your heart has changed."

Bug told him to go home and look in the mirror to see if he was "disgusting" now. Can he find his original self?

Gradually, Richie Jen found himself the kind of person he hated most.

In the most difficult days, I watched the big coffee around me playing big cards, being late, and yelling at the staff.

He once thought to himself that if I became popular one day, I would keep my true colors and love my job, and I would never be like them.

Who knows, he became popular, but he also forgot his sincerity.

Thanks to Bug, a mentor and friend, he began to re-examine himself, rediscover his original love for music, and adjust his mentality to look down on fame and fortune before continuing to start again.

The bug that made Richie Jen famous once again "saved" him.

How lucky it is to have such a mentor and friend in life.

04 continue to set out.

Later, Richie Jen set out again and released a series of songs such as Sad Pacific, Hurt, and Girl Across the Street, which established her status as a first-line male singer.

Now it seems that perhaps the original songs such as "Too Soft-hearted" and "Look at the Girl Opposite" don't have too profound meanings, but they have not affected the public's love for them.

In those years, if a few beautiful girls walked by on the playground, the boys would surely sing in unison:

Look at the girl opposite, look at me, look at me, don't be scared by my appearance, in fact, I am very cute.

With Qi's popularity, directors began to ask him to film.

Mainland audiences first saw Richie Jen in Jin Yong's martial arts dramas. Many people complained that Richie Jen was "too ugly" and his acting skills were poor.

When people saw Xing Yu Xing Yuan again, they found that Richie Jen was good at acting.

Later, he collaborated with Sammi Cheng on "What Tea in Summer" and "Spend a Full Moon", and his acting skills were even better.

Acting doesn't hinder the release of an album. Richie Jen has also released a large number of popular songs, such as Wave after Wave, Tianya, Immortal, Orange Perfume and so on.

It was not until 2000 that Richie Jen slowed down the pace of album release and gradually devoted his energy to the film industry.

As he grew older, Richie Jen found it a bit inappropriate to continue to play idol dramas, and he always wanted to change.

So he met Du Qifeng.

The director who "blacked out" Daniel Wu, Louis Koo and other male gods took aim at Richie Jen this time.

In The Big Event in 2004, Richie Jen played a villain, a criminal who was a little crazy.

Since then, Richie Jen has developed a different path in the film industry.

Then he played a man who was not very serious in "Seoul Raiders". He was charming and "choking".

In "A Tree Catches the Wind", he shaved his hair into a short board and didn't shave his beard. He likes to smoke hard when he thinks about things. He portrayed a thief king.

In order to shoot horse races in Doze Niu, Richie Jen increased his weight from 145 kg to 200 kg in six months.

He admitted that he wanted to learn from amirkhan and experience the feeling of getting really fat, but suddenly something happened (Doze Niu scandal broke out) and he had to try to lose weight again. It was a really hard time.

Many outside media joked about Richie Jen, saying that he was "fat for nothing". (Let me smile here)

Because of getting fat, Richie Jen also went on a hot search and was laughed at by netizens for a long time.

On August 16, Richie Jen's partner Andy's Silent Witness was released, and he once again challenged the gangster role.

The gangster this time is different from the arrogant gangster in the past. This time, the characters will be more introverted, more profound and more difficult to act.

I believe that Richie Jen and Andy's partnership will not disappoint the audience.

Someone once asked Richie Jen, "You sang a song" Too Soft "for tens of thousands of times. Will it be boring? "

Richie Jen replied, "No, my heart is very pious every time. The audience came from afar and lined up to buy tickets. They are all looking forward to it. I must be worthy of them and let everyone who comes to the concert remember it for a lifetime. "

Some viewers also called on Xiao Qi to participate in the reality show, so that everyone can see him more truly.

He bluntly said: "I don't want to watch a reality show. Many programs invited me, but I refused. I think this thing is consuming me. I am a singer, I am an actor, and there is no need to participate in that in order to play games. "

Nowadays, besides daily activities, Richie Jen likes racing best and often goes out for running.

When I was young, I devoted all my time to my work. Now I am old and want to do what I wanted to do before.

Through the dark years, the original Xiao Qi has also become the old Qi.

Through the passage of time, people who liked Xiao Qi in those days also entered middle age.

When we light a cigarette and listen to a song by Richie Jen in the gap between boring life and depressed work and leisure, we will still remember the high spirits of our youth and the passionate years of fighting.
