It is not an exaggeration to say that this "Shochu Song" is brushing the screen. Open the vibrato almost brush three or five strips will have a person listening to it walking dance, many people say it is the August song of 2021.
At the end of August, after a pair of singers from Guangxi went online under the high dance packaging of a DJ, all retail investors and many stars were imitating walking dance.
The pair of singers, one named Lu Xiaoyu and the other named Bao Er, became popular by singing various old songs from the 80s and 90s by humorous filler lyrics.
"Shochu Song" is a cover of "Queen's Road East", which is now no longer found on the Internet, and its creator is Luo Dayou, the undisputed godfather of the Chinese music industry.
Time is forgetting.
Also at the end of August, just past, on the evening of August 21, 2021, almost at the same time as the "Soju Song" exploded on the Internet, the 32nd Golden Melody Awards Ceremony was held in Taipei.
Luo Dayou, who has been in the industry for 44 years, was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Golden Melody Awards.
Luo Dayou took the stage to accept the award and sighed: "Forty-four years in the industry, I suddenly knew that the Lifetime Achievement Award, like the Best Newcomer Award, can only be won once in a lifetime. ”
His songs have been sung for decades, but his people have gradually been forgotten.
In 2017, Luo Dayou prepared a concert for several years to be held at the Taipei Arena, and invited Tao Zhe, Xin Xiaoqi, Chen Qizhen, Lin Qingxia and many other powerful singers and stars as guests, and as a result, half of the seats at the concert site were empty.
No one expected that the concert of Luo Dayou, the godfather of a generation of music, would end up in a dismal situation at the box office.
In the face of the empty seats in the Taipei Arena, sitting with fans, he laughed at himself: "You guys came to the Little Dome, it has never been so spacious and comfortable, right?" ”
But just 20 years ago, in 2000, Luo Dayou came to the mainland for the first time to give a concert after five or six years of living in the United States.
Mainland fans flock to Shanghai's 80,000-person stadium on pilgrimage, and there are countless sensational text accounts on the Internet about the style of that night, the most prominent of which is the short and tight that recently disappeared into the network with Zhaowei and others.
"After the concert, in the bars of the whole street in Shanghai, everyone held the piano and sang, one after another Luo Dayou, everyone missed their youth there, and missed those blood-boiling years."
The feelings of that generation of fans are no longer seen.
When many people hear "Shochu Song", their first reaction is the Hokkien cover song "Everyone Is Not Alarmed" in the 1992 Hong Kong film box office champion "Truant Weilong 2", when Zhou Xingchi was relegated to traffic police and went to the street to perform duty.
Times have passed, and even the most eye-catching news that Xingye has appeared in the media in the past two years is only a competition with his ex-girlfriend in court, and the old cow who is suspected of "grandchildren's love" in the middle of this summer with his 17-year-old unsuccessful Hong Kong sister to surf the sea.
Who will remember that in 1991, Luo Dayou, who lived in Hong Kong, wrote "Queen's Road East", which was the first to write the mentality of Hong Kong people to give up both worries and imaginations, which triggered a boom in Hong Kong people's discussion of the future.
The lyrics satirize the "big hand-throwing" policy of The last governor of Hong Kong, Patten, and also represent his views on the return of Hong Kong.
And now these views have become the reason for the ban on his songs.
He left Taiwan in the mid-1980s because most of the songs on the album were labeled and could not be released.
The wheels of history roll by.
"Black eyes have white fear, the west wind sings sad songs in the east", "obsessively laughing at my ordinary people's inexplicable care", and so on, how many classics throughout a generation have passed away with the wind.
The young man was no longer familiar with Luo Dayou, and only knew that when he associated the song he had heard many times with Luo Dayou's name, he would exclaim, "He wrote it."
Luo Dayou in the new century is still writing songs, and there are still so many cynical lyrics, but he is obviously no longer suitable for the young people of this era.
In the young people who are constantly hesitant and full of ambition, intermittently eating and waiting for death, standing up is already something that they do not want to think about, and how can they still be willing to think about the heavy and bonded load of history.
In 2012, Luo Dayou, who was already 58 years old, had a child of his own.
Since then, he has changed the habit of going out day and night, and began to go to bed early and get up early, hoping to have more future to grow up with his children.
But Luo Dayou, who has become an old man, still has as much creative power as a young man.
In 2014, Luo Dayou was invited by his friend Wu Yusen to create "Crossing the Whirlpool" for the epic masterpiece "Taiping Wheel" to write the history of Taiwan.
"Don't want to fall in the suspension of the waves, only bumps towards the other shore " still like " always have to wait until before going to bed, only to know that the homework is only done a little. It is always necessary to wait until after the exam to know that the books that should be read are not read" so popular and philosophical.
"Don't do the magnificent bubble of the big era, don't be afraid to keep the ideal of loneliness, not fall and sink in the sea of people", or the same Luo Dayou as we heard thirty years ago in "Zhihu Also".
Xu Anhua, who was also released that year, told Xiao Hong's film "Golden Age", and Luo Dayou created and sang the song "Only For a Lifetime" that still could not be retained with deep affection.
It's just that the times are no longer Luo Dayou's time, and he has never resisted social media software, and he has gradually begun to embrace this game-ruled, increasingly noisy world.
In 2019, when his "Home III" was released, it collided with Wu Bian's "Big Bowl Of Lasagna", which was launched almost at the same time, and the traffic was less than a fraction of the latter.
Beauty Twilight, General Whitehead?
Later, Luo Dayou's concert became the talk of many netizens after dinner, and even was rated into the list of the most tragic concerts of stars.
Is Koro Dayou obsolete?
The ending song of the popular TV series "All Is Good" before the new crown, "Ding-Da", was written by Luo Dayou and Mao Buyi, but the focus of public opinion fell on Mao Buyi.
normal.
When an old man and a young man walk down the street, the young man is destined to have more eyes.
The fire-shattered "Shochu Song" is indeed a dance that is simple and easy to learn, easy to make people get on the head, and Tu Hi can be the trend?
The lyrics are, Eye Dove, all kinds of vulgar, Douyin also made a special page, turned into Chinese is I pull pants crotch, but this is the trend.
You once said to me that you love me forever, love this thing I understand but always what?
Do you need Luo Dayou to do it again? No, he himself wrote that "the story of flowing water that takes away time changes a person..."
Everyone should have the look of everyone, and everyone should have a time to grow old. Nature is good.
In China, "Shochu Song" is popular, indicating that Luo Dayou is becoming a classic in a different way.
On the night of the Golden Melody Awards, musicians such as Huang Yunling and Doll performed many classic songs of Luo Dayou in 15 minutes to pay tribute to him.
Luo Dayou, who has been debuting for 44 years, even if you don't know him now, his songs may have melted into your world long ago and you don't know it.
Music knows no borders.
In 1993, the mother of an African boy got a tape in the Congo that she couldn't get tired of listening to a Chinese song. Later, the boy's mother died, and the tape did not know where it went. He wanted to find this song that his mother loved most in his life, but he couldn't find it...
One day 20 years later, the guy's taxi got up to a Taiwanese couple, and in the guy's humming, the couple told him the name of the song was "Love Song 1990".
His face was filled with tears of excitement: this was his mother's favorite song before he died.
When he knew the meaning of the lyrics "Dark Eyes and Your Smiling Face," he said emotionally, "This beautiful woman is my mother." ”
"Love Song 1990", the songwriter and singer are Luo Dayou.
The African boy may not remember the name "Luo Dayou" to this day, but he remembers the moving melody that made him worry about his life.
Whether you remember "Luo Dayou" or not, what does it matter.
