Gu Jianfen has been a composer of the Central Song and Dance Troupe (now China Song and Dance Troupe) since he graduated in 1950s, and has created nearly a thousand works. Gu Jianfen's series of works began to spread in full swing in the early 1980s, and were warmly welcomed by the audience. A large number of her well-known works have become a part of contemporary China's song creation classics, among which nearly 100 works have won awards, mainly including China's Golden Record Award, Contemporary Youth's Favorite Song Award, Ministry of Culture's Music and Dance Award, China's 96MTV Music and Television Competition Composition Award, Belgrade's International Pop Music Composition Award, and UNESCO's Asia-Pacific Outstanding Award.

If Gu Jianfen's creation has played a pioneering role in connecting the past with the future for China's pop music, then the outstanding singers she trained for China's pop music undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of China's pop music.
In the 1980s, Gu Jianfen created the "Gu Jianfen Vocal Music Training Center" in many difficulties. This training center, with the aim of "producing talents and works", was committed to promoting innovation in the field of pop music at that time and was gradually accepted and paid attention to by the public. Many singers who became popular in pop music came from her family: Li Yong, Su Hong, Mao Amin, Wan Shanhong, Na Ying, Duan Pinzhang, Jie Xiaodong and Sun Nan. ...
In 2006, Gu Jianfen was a masterpiece of Fujian. The song "Precious" selected by Longyan City and Liancheng County participated in the second "Poetry Fairy Taibai" Cup Video Song Music and Television Exhibition hosted by CCTV and won the "Best Tourism Song Award", becoming the only song in Fujian Province to win this honor.
"Precious" was composed by Gu Jianfen, written by Wang Changjiu and sung by Tong Tiexin. This song has a beautiful melody and a strong local flavor. After it was made into MTV in the spring of 2006, it was deeply loved by the people and quickly spread throughout the province. It is worth mentioning that "Priceless Treasure" is the second masterpiece created for Fujian by the famous composer Gu Jianfen after "Blue Quanzhou Bay".
In mainland music, everyone knows Gu Jianfen. Gu Jianfen composed more than 1,000 popular songs, such as Young Friends Meet, That's Me, Green Leaves Love Roots, Missing, Mother by Candlelight, Today is Your Birthday, Singing and Laughing, Reunion Twenty Years Later and so on, which influenced two generations. Why did Gu Jianfen, who was engaged in the creation of pop songs, start writing children's songs in his later years?
As soon as the children talk, they sing that mice love rice. Teacher Gu Jianfen said, "Now, children want the moon in the sky, and their parents will satisfy them. However, children want to sing their own songs, but they are pitiful. " In the autumn and winter of 2004, the Central Committee held a conference on the education of minors. State Councilor Wu Yi met Gu Jianfen and said, "Write some songs for the children."
After retirement, Mr. Gu Jianfen decided to compose music for excellent ancient poems, making them "new school songs" for children. Since 2004, Gu Jianfen has composed more than 30 new school songs. The melody of the song makes children more willing to get close, learn and inherit the classics of our ancestors. Up to now, he has written 20 ancient poems and songs, such as Spring Dawn, Song of Tomorrow, Acacia, Goose Singing, Long Songs, Silent Night Thinking, etc.
Not one less.
Since the creation of "New School Song", Gu Jianfen has personally promoted it in many cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Xiamen. More than 60 years ago, Gu Jianfen studied in Xigang Experimental Primary School today. Today, Mr. Gu Jianfen returned to Dalian with the "New School Song" and held the "New School Song" concert in Xigang District of our city. Gu Jianfen commented that the performance was a great success. In addition to the children performing on the stage, thousands of children sitting under the stage are all extras. Gu Jianfen was moved by the scene that everyone sang "The New School Song".
Gu Jianfen said: "Although these children are not professional actors, they sing with their hearts and learn about traditional culture. It is worth mentioning that in the "New School Song" concert held in Xigang District, no one left behind, and every student in Xigang District participated in the concert. The concert ended successfully a few days ago and is still in the post-production stage. Teacher Gu Jianfen and the general director of the concert stressed that they should try their best to give every child a chance. They are so cute! "
1950, Gu Jianfen joined the Cultural and Art Troupe of Lvda, studied piano and served as an accompaniment. 195 1 was admitted to the composition department of northeast Lu Yi, and graduated from 1955. Since then, he has been a composer of the Central Song and Dance Troupe (now China Song and Dance Troupe). However, in the third year of her work, due to the influence of political movement, she was sent to the rural areas of Jiangsu to participate in labor reform. Although Gu Jianfen left her beloved piano and music score to deal with crops and rice fields all day, she never lost her desire for music creation, and she constantly drew rich nutrition from folk songs. Only in 1976 did Gu Jianfen regain the freedom and right of creation. After the "Cultural Revolution", Gu Jianfen's six Latin American countries had a fundamental change in his creation. In six Latin American countries, Gu Jianfen is deeply influenced by singers and people there, and singing is an important part of their lives. She made up her mind to write songs that can arouse people's strong singing and sing them into people's lives and hearts.
Although Gu Jianfen is known as the most important composer of pop music after the reform and opening up, she claimed at a news conference that most of her works were failures, mainly because of similarity and lack of innovation. "I have written so many songs in my life, and people only see success. In fact, 90% of me is a loser. The higher the point of success, the harder it is to surpass. " Gu Jianfen attaches great importance to the quality of his works. "Whether the work is good or not depends on whether the people applaud or not." . I have a lot of good works in my hand and have never given them to anyone. Someone wanted to buy my song, and I said I wouldn't sell it. What's the use of buying them? That song is not for you. Keep those songs and take them out again when you have a chance. "
The true feelings and passions behind the enduring classic songs.
From 65438 to 0980, Zhang Meitong published his new work "The New Generation in 1980s" in the third issue of Ci. This poem has novel theme, vivid image, beautiful and moving language, rigorous structure and strong musicality, which suddenly attracted Gu Jianfen's attention and aroused her musical thinking. Soon, Gu Jianfen set it to music. In the same year, China's famous singer Zhu Fengbo recorded this song on tape for the first time, and included it in the album "Wild Goose Flying". Zhu Fengbo's singing is crisp and lively, and his lyrics are catchy, which reflects his positive thoughts and deep hopes for the motherland in the 1980s. At the same time, the first sentence of this word "Young friends come to meet" was changed to the title of the song. In the end, the Young Friends Association spread among the masses and spread all over the country with beautiful tunes and smooth melodies.
In 1989, Gu Jianfen wrote a song-"Today is your birthday". Some critics said: "The works were deeply loved by the masses as soon as they came out, because they contained deep blessings and persistent love for the motherland." 10 years have passed, and this song has almost become an essential song for National Day every year. When it comes to the creative process of this work at that time, Gu Jianfen's heart is still not calm.
1989 this month, the Beijing municipal government held an activity, hoping to write a theme song to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Beijing's liberation, so the name of the song was 10 is your birthday, which was sung by Wei Wei. But when I received the lyrics of this song, I was moved by the connotation inside. " At some point, she couldn't help singing.
Gu Jianfen said frankly, "I usually think about writing for a long time, so I will sit there and think about it later. The impulse when I first saw the lyrics is very important to my creation, and I attach great importance to my feelings at this time. With this feeling, I basically finished singing the new song in one go. These songs are almost all the accumulation of my decades of life, but I didn't think of when to write them, or when I must write them. Then suddenly came such a lyric, which suddenly ignited such a feeling in my heart. "
The young heart beats with the beat of the times.
Gu Jianfen's works are mostly ballad-style, with neat structure, fresh style, beautiful melody, elegant style, delicate emotions and youthful atmosphere, which often gives people a kind of passion and strength to make progress. Moreover, her works have a wide range of themes and forms. Speaking of Gu Jianfen's previous songs, such as "Mother's Kiss" and "Mother by Candlelight" are all beautiful and lyrical songs, but the theme song of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is magnificent. "Is this a change in your creative style?" The author asked. "It should be. When the composition of Romance of the Three Kingdoms was invited for bidding in September, 1990, a friend advised me to try. When I saw the opening lyrics of this song, "The Yangtze River flows eastward, the waves wash away heroes, success or failure turns empty, the green hills are still there, and the sunset glow is a few times red ...", my heart was suddenly touched and I had it. Especially when I wrote' The story of Diusim has been told in blowing in the wind', my tears could not help flowing downwards. A girl as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade exhausted her youth for politics, but finally turned into a breeze. I am also a woman and a mother. What shall I do if my daughter is like this? " Gu Jianfen went on to say, "Although most of my works are warm colors, when the post-90s entered the creation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I poured out many sighs in my life in my music. Music entered a kind of artistic conception from the beginning, which made me sad, deep and vicissitudes. I expressed my inner feelings with the help of the opening sentence of Romance of the Three Kingdoms,' The Yangtze River is rolling eastward'. This is the true feeling of another level of life for decades. " Today, 1/3 in Gu Jianfen is in a meeting. 1/3 is devoted to various social activities. 1/3 is creative. Talking about today's life, Gu Jianfen said that although he is old, he still can't live without music, and he should be accompanied by music every day. Of course, she never felt old, because her heart is young and beats with the beat of the times. It can be said that Gu Jianfen's songs are just the sound of waves impacted by the surging tide of the times.
