You can totally imagine
Zhang Qi became popular this time
Black Panther will become a sought-after in the festival market
Zhang Qi
The three rounds of performances of "Brother With Thorns and Thorns" ended, and many male artists dropped their vests. For example, Zhao Wenzhuo has become a serious "comedian", Hu Haiquan is the first "melon master" in the circle, Lin Zhixuan has become the director of the music department, and the pheasant brother Chen Xiaochun is actually a social fear...
But the loudest voice is not only these familiar faces, but also the rock singer Zhang Qi, who is not so familiar to the public.
Has anyone seen the stage of "Wukong" and not fallen in love with Zhang Qi?
I don't believe it.
His long hair was messy, his eyebrows were red, his voice was hoarse, and his sentence "What do I want this iron rod for?" simply hit the audience's heart.
Zhang Qi's handsomeness is between having offensive power and not attacking power. There is a kind of Goku madness, and there is also a kind of Buddhist softness.

Perhaps some people have questioned why Zhang Qi, who is not as famous as other brothers, can suppress Zhang Zhilin and Chen Xiaochun on the popularity list of Mango TV, after this episode, there is probably no objection.
It also reminds me that after the first episode was broadcast, the audience who was lucky enough to participate in the recording said on the forum: The most handsome singer on the scene is Zhang Qi.
After all, it is the veteran handsome guy known as "God-like Kimura Takuya", or the lead singer of the Black Panther Band, how can it not be both beautiful and powerful!
01
Offstage "docile"
Wild on stage
I think that the rolling circle is a grumpy wrestling school, but the rolling circle artists in "The Brother Who Cut through the Thorns" are more "docile" than the other.
Huang Guanzhong is like the principal of Hope Primary School, looking at the little brothers are full of care; Chen Hui doesn't look very good, but he is better at talking than anyone; Ricky wears a hat and no one loves, and wiping off his eyeliner is a silly boy next door.
Zhang Qi, soaring high pitch soared to the nosebleed. Then frantically advise the audience not to wipe their nose hard, otherwise they will leave sequelae like him... No, the audience doesn't have the professional need to soar dolphin sounds.
So the past impression left by the circle singer was all broken, and it turned out that everyone was very cute.
In the era of popular contrast, Zhang Qi's well-behaved under the stage and the wild and uninhibited on the stage form a sharp contrast.
Zhang Qi's shots are actually not many, but they can make a deep impression every time.
The first issue of "Don't Come to Pestering Me" forced the variety show to sing out the feeling of a 10,000-person concert.
I have to say that he was dressed in ascetic black, and his voice hoarsely sang "Don't come and pester me", which could only have the opposite effect.
This stage is still considered by many to be the best stage among the brothers.
Officially out of the circle, but also to say the second performance of "Yellow".
The difficulty of this song lies not only in singing, but also in the grasp of stage temperament and stage atmosphere.
Zhang Qi's semi-permanent long hair is matched with rain, and most importantly, his extremely seductive and penetrating singing voice firmly attracts people's attention.
It was also this time that everyone could see Zhang Qi's gentleness and thoughtfulness in private. As the eldest brother, he takes great care of the younger brothers in the same group, and is very good at picking up the stems and not letting the field cool down.
Lee Seung-hyun said he had long hair that fit well, and the old photo looked like a girl. Not only was he not angry, but he responded gently and gently, "Everyone has a dream with long hair." ”
He said he had long hair when he was 19 and often frightened people when he went to the bathroom. Then he was going to deliberately lower the whisper and say it was okay.
Humble gentleman, nothing more.

This week's "Wukong" is also a well-deserved number one in popularity.
Even in the practice room, Lee Seung-hyun couldn't help but hold his arm. As soon as his own performance was over, he hurried backstage for fear of missing Goku.
Before the show started, Zhang Qi definitely did not expect that he would become a dark horse among more than 30 brothers. After all, handsomeness was once his "shortcoming", and there were so many old predecessors on the show together.
But the real popularity has always been traceable.
02
It was an overnight hit
It is also a step up step by step
If Zhang Qi's early experience is written as a resume, it will not be too good-looking.
He was born in 1981 and was in the golden age of Chinese rock music as a teenager. Faces, Black Panthers, Overload, Tang Dynasty... Zhang Qi thought that playing guitar was very handsome and pleasing to girls, so he ran to learn and began to sing at the age of 16.
The income is OK, 30 yuan a night of singing for 3 hours, this price later rose to 100, 150.
But by this time it was the late '90s, and rock 'n' roll wasn't as popular.
Zhang Qi, 19 years old
He can't make money in a band, thanks to being handsome, he can go to the TV series to play soy sauce. For example, Li Youbin and Jiang Shan's "Never Give Up", he showed his face.
After walking the wild road for several years, Zhang Qi was signed by the brokerage company. But how expensive it is to make a record, it is not the turn of him who is not famous.
The best opportunity offered by the company is also Zhang Qi's black history as a rocker - in 2007, Supergirl Fast Man was a hit, and he was sent to participate in "Happy Male Voice".
Although the appearance is very idol, Zhang Qi does not look very happy, and finally stopped at the top ten in Xi'an Division. That year's Xi'an Division, out of the national champion Chen Chusheng and the runner-up woke up.
Fast male period
After the competition, Zhang Qi worked as a radio DJ, sang in an Internet café as a music director, filmed online dramas, sang music festivals... He also wrote a lot of songs, but he never became popular, and he didn't want to cater to the aesthetics of others.
Everything I could do was tried, but I never had a good chance.
The turnaround occurred at the age of 32.
Li Tong, the guitarist of the Band Panther, sent him a WeChat message asking him if he felt interested in recording The Black Panther's new album.
When the Black Panther band was founded, Zhang Qi was only 6 years old. Black Panther and former lead singer Dou Wei are myths in the circle, but Dou Wei quit Black Panther 5 years later, and the lead singer has changed 9 generations by 2013.
Zhang Qi had participated in the recording of a black panther movie theme song six or seven years ago, and Li Tong had a good impression of him at that time. Zhang Qi also had the courage to ask if he could join the Black Panther, but was refused. Time passed, and when Black Panther really needed a new lead singer, the young man's face came to life.
In a later interview, Zhang Qi said that when he received the text message, he walked his dog in the community and "did not hear such excited news for many years."
On January 9, 2013, in the winter, everyone present was dressed thickly. Zhang Qi was the thinnest on his body, singing five songs, and when he sang "Landless Self-Tolerance", he actually sang split.
After leaving, Zhang Qi was very upset and felt that he had messed up the hard-won opportunity. After waiting for 6 days, Black Panther asked him to come out to eat hot pot.
The hot pot tasted good, and even better, he became the new lead singer of Black Panther.

It wasn't Black Panther who chose Zhang Qi
It was the times that chose Zhang Qi
Many young people today know Zhang Qi because of "Brother Who Cuts Through Thorns", in fact, my first impression of him also comes from variety shows.
In 2014, the second year zhang qi joined Black Panther, they participated in Oriental Satellite TV's "Immortal Famous Song". Not only did he sing Black Panther's own songs, but he also covered classics such as "Childhood" and "Farewell".
At that time, most music fans could not accept Zhang Qi. They think Zhang Qi is so young and not famous, and they have also participated in "Happy Male Voice", which is not rock at all.
The headlines of those two years always focused on his appearance, like Mayday, like Takuya Kimura, just not like Black Panther.
It's always hard to change. At that time, Li Tong comforted Zhang Qi, we chose you, which proves that you can.
Now in the blink of an eye to 2021, Zhang Qi has been the lead singer of Black Panther for 8 years.
Time can change a lot of things, but some emotions have nothing to do with time. After so many years, most old Black Panther fans still can't accept Zhang Qi. In the final analysis, they can't accept Dou Wei leaving the Panther - although Dou Wei has only been the lead singer of the Panther for five years, the soul of the Black Panther belongs to him, and only he will not break your heart.
But times are really different. At that time, it was the market that chased rock and roll, and now rock also needs to cater to the market, it can be said that Zhang Qi is the most suitable person for Black Panther at the moment. Although many people commented that he and Dou Wei were 18,000 miles apart, to be honest, this comparison actually did not make any sense.
Classics can't be copied, and there's no need to find a replacement. The appearance, typhoon, and sound can be imitated, but the ideal and spirit cannot. They drift with the wind in the years, and the glory of the year will not come back.
Insiders know this better than laymen.
Dou Wei was young
To use an inappropriate analogy, it's like years after Freddie Mercury's death, Queen recruited Adam Lambert, who was also drafted, as the touring lead singer, rather than choosing a more uncle-like tribute to the god Mark Martel.
Rather than saying that Zhang Qi is the choice of the Black Panther people who stayed behind, it is better to say that this is the choice of the times and the market.
Zhang Qi's tone is impeccable, and the stage style is one of the best in today's show. He has a rock 'n' roll background and a trait that appeals to young people. When we see him in "Brother", we see the last era, we also see today, and we see the bridge between these decades.
This is the meaning of Zhang Qi in this era of entertainment, and it is also his meaning to the Black Panther Band.
Today's Black Panthers
You can fully imagine how Popular Black Panther will become in the music festival market after Zhang Qi's popularity this time.
It is not difficult to foresee what kind of complicated expressions will be displayed by the rolling fans who have chased the Black Panther for decades, after watching the front row of the pogo area being occupied by screaming fans early.
