Every time around the Middle Yuan Festival, "forbidden song" will become a hot word in the search chart.
Older generations may find it a bit obscure to listen to horror music on this particular holiday.
But most young people have no taboos, and special days with "yin music" will feel more exciting.
With the popularity of some film and television dramas, the tracks in the "Forbidden Songs" chart will also change slightly in different periods:
For example, during the hit "The Hidden Corner", "Little White Boat" "rose out of nowhere", changing from a classic nursery rhyme to a "terrible yin music".
But it is not difficult for careful friends to find that no matter how the tracks on the chart change, some songs will always appear in the chart.
For example, it is known as the world's three major forbidden songs "Black Sunday", "Confession Soul" and "Thirteenth Eye";
Another example is the song that will be mentioned next - "The Wedding Dress".
Compared with the three major forbidden songs in the world with a long history, "Wedding Dress" is not only "relatively young", but also authentic Chinese music.
The melody of this song is mournful, the lyrics are weird, itself is easy to let the listener form a relatively dark feeling, coupled with the singer deliberately changed the voice line and bite words, so that the voice is slightly hoarse and distorted, it is inevitable that people will hear a goosebumps.
But the reason why the song will become the "yin music" that netizens smell is mainly because netizens have made up a horror story in their own brains when interpreting the lyrics.
The lyrics of "The Wedding Dress" are a woman's self-description, although it can be seen that she has suffered misfortune, but the specific content is unclear.
However, netizens played their imaginations according to words such as "one night spring supper", "mother", "secret agreement", etc., and after word of mouth, they were still integrated into an urban legend that can confuse the public and confuse the real:
It is said that there is a couple who have been in love for a long time and intend to get married, and the two not only have skin kisses, but also have been husband and wife.
But I never expected that men changed their hearts before marriage and betrayed women, and women's mothers not only did not comfort women, but also complained that women should not have sex with men. The woman was originally very sad, and not being understood by her mother was the "last straw" that crushed her.
She eventually chose to commit suicide by poisoning herself and left a letter before her death, based on which "The Wedding Dress" was adapted.
Although the story has no time and place, it is highly compatible with the unknown lyrics, and the medium of communication is the Internet with a certain degree of privacy, netizens only want to join in the fun, and do not care too much about the clues that can support the authenticity of the story.
Over time, the story was spread to the gods, and even other urban strange talk intersected, so that the status of "Wedding Dress" in the "Forbidden Song" list was not familiar with the three "world-class" elders.
In the end, it even reached the ears of the original author of the song, which surprised her personally: When did I read such a "suicide note"?
The singer-songwriter of "The Wedding Dress" is Wu Hongfei, a talented woman who graduated from Tsinghua University and has a double bachelor's degree and a master's degree.
According to her self-report, the background of the creation of "The Wedding Dress" is not as strange and chaotic as it is said on the Internet, there is no suicide note, no evil mother, and even no scumbag. The content of the lyrics is purely made up by Wu Hongfei himself, as for why it is weird?
Because I was in a bad mood at that time!
Yes, this backstory has been passed on to the gods, and the "forbidden song" with a sense of horror in the lyrics is directly full, which is just the work of Wu Hongfei's whim when he was young, if you look at it from another angle, this is actually the same as XiaoSi's "pain literature".
But most of the youth pain of ordinary people will be as delicate as Guo Jingming, why is Wu Hongfei's youth pain so dark?
The answer is also very simple, because Wu Hongfei is not an "ordinary person" at all.
She holds a bachelor's degree in environmental engineering, Chinese science and technology editing, and a master's degree in modern and contemporary literature, and has worked as a reporter for the Beijing News and Southern People Weekly, but she has always regarded music that has nothing to do with her profession as a lifelong career.
As early as high school, Wu Hongfei had the first dream of music because of a broken guitar he picked up.
But when she told the class teacher about the idea of applying for the art college to study composition, the other party said, "What (music theory) will you do?" "It struck her hard. Indeed, at that time, Wu Hongfei did not receive any music education, and even if he had excellent grades, he could not understand the staves.
Music theory basics don't talk about music? As a result, she temporarily withdrew her musical dream and was admitted to tsinghua university's school of environmental engineering.
The environmental engineering major of Tsinghua University is undoubtedly a first-class major in China. But Wu Hongfei did not find a direction to excite him in class, until one day he met a boy playing guitar while wandering around the campus.
Watching this quiet boy play the guitar with his own care, Wu Hongfei not only had a fawn in his heart, but also burst out of his mind to create music. Although the boy did not have a story with her, the musical inspiration he brought accompanied Wu Hongfei throughout his life.
However, this emotion born out of untouchable ambiguity is often accompanied by lingering regrets.
Wu Hongfei is still single, but during the period he was not an unconnected boyfriend. However, Wu Hongfei found that as long as she became close to the other party, the indifference and disdain she showed often surprised her.
According to Wu Hongfei's recollection in an interview, once because she was a little delirious because she drank too much, she was confused in front of her ex-boyfriend, and kept shouting the name of the boy who played the guitar, and the next day her ex-boyfriend did not quit and said goodbye.
The regret of love and not being able to evoke not only her musical dreams, but also her belated "adolescent" pain.
Wu Hongfei's parents separated when she was very young, and her father only saw her a few times a year.
Like most children who were absent from their father's love in childhood, Wu Hongfei hoped to attract his father's attention through performances such as "understanding things" and "learning well" since he was a child, and let him praise himself more in the few meetings.
Therefore, Wu Hongfei in her adolescence did not show the so-called "rebellion" and "adolescent pain", she was the "child next door", and she was always so obedient and excellent in the eyes of adults.
But not showing it does not mean that there is none, Wu Hongfei just sealed these emotions in his heart. When the guitar boy released her musical dreams with untouchable regrets, the long-sealed "adolescent pain" also gushed out and became uncontrollable.
As a result, she wrote the "forbidden song" "Wedding Dress" and included it on her first album " Fish in the Little Dragon Room " . In fact, in this album, "Wedding Dress" is not the most obedient work, and the lyrics of "Scene" and "Grain" are more strange than one.
In these early musical works of Wu Hongfei, it is not difficult to see that she vented all the negative emotions that she had suppressed for a long time in the lyrics.
Although in the future, Wu Hongfei experienced social experience, he relented in his creation.
But her "adolescent" pain doesn't seem to heal and becomes more concrete as she becomes more obsessed with music.
After graduating, Wu Hongfei went to a bar to sing, and met several like-minded friends and formed the Happy Street Band.
But in an era when rock bands mushroomed all over Beijing, Wu Hongfei's Happiness Avenue, though famous, wasn't enough to keep the band running by performing. At this time, the musician Dou Wei extended an olive branch to her.
Dou Wei saw the persistence and persistence of a rock singer from Wu Hongfei and hoped to pull her along.
But Wu Hongfei has her own choice, she does not want to bend her waist for five buckets of rice, and she does not want to abandon her band partner. So she rejected Dou Wei, and in order to live and run a band, she chose to make money by working as a journalist and writing novels.
In 2013, when social media was just emerging, Wu Hongfei suddenly made a statement on his account that "blow up so-and-so".
Because the capital airport bombing had just occurred at that time, Wu Hongfei, as a public figure, did not cover his mouth, so naturally he immediately attracted the attention of the relevant departments. In the end, Wu Hongfei was administratively detained for ten days and fined 500 yuan for improper speaking online.
Afterwards, why did some media interview Wu Hongfei say such "appalling" words? The answers were laughable:
I admit I did it wrong, but I just made a senior joke and they don't understand!
In fact, the world's confusion about Wu Hongfei is more than an anachronistic joke? While musicians are thinking about how to make money in the booming entertainment market, no one will understand why Wu Hongfei will set his sights on ethnic minority music, the Dong song.
Moreover, Wu Hongfei not only paid attention to it on the surface, but also worked hard for the dissemination of the Dong nationality song and reaped a lot of results.
In 2016, Wu Hongfei was invited to the United Nations to give a speech on "The Great Song of the Dong Nationality and the Current Situation of Chinese Rock and Roll".
But she soon discovered that she could better demonstrate her understanding of Dong songs and Chinese rock and roll than academic exchanges on the stage. So, she took the guitar on her back to the overseas stage and held a number of performances.
After the exchange with musicians from all over the world, Wu Hongfei had more thoughts on the Dong great song, and held a number of tours after returning to China, further contributing to the spread of the Dong great song.
However, everything she did seemed worthless in the market, and the Dong songs she created were still not widely disseminated.
But this does not prevent her from throwing herself into the promotion of the Dong song, nor does it shake her uncompromising character.
In 2020, Wu Hongfei had a dispute with a house moving company and exposed the other party's extortion on social media.
After the incident was exposed, the relevant departments quickly took action, and the moving company involved was punished accordingly.
But Wu Hongfei was not happy about this, but instead "debunked" online that he did not sue the moving company, and denounced the relevant departments for not returning the money overcharged by the moving company to himself, and incidentally pointed the spearhead again at the well-known search engine.
In just a few hundred words, Wu Hongfei's approach was quite a bit of a posture of "tongue fighting and confucianism".
However, it was discovered that she had previously publicly stated that she did not need compensation, but only wanted an explanation.
Now that I have been told, but in turn, I have not received the money, which seems to be a bit "dangling and standing", which makes people feel speechless.
In fact, what Wu Hongfei wants to express is only to clarify that he has not sued the moving company, and the report of a certain media is biased.
But she had to put the matter of compensation together to say that it caused inconsistencies, and the behavior was really a bit confusing, and even made people feel that they were deliberately "contradictory" in order to attract attention.
In fact, looking at Wu Hongfei's past remarks, it is not difficult to find that her speaking style is quite "unpopular".
Even if you have suffered because of the remarks of "blowing up so-and-so", you will still say some words from time to time that are not surprising and dead.
For example, when she went to the United Nations to give a speech on the exchange of Dong songs, she once complained about the official discrimination against ethnic minority cultures, and the use of words was extreme for people to see her sweat; When Zhang Yimou's film "Shadow" was released, he publicly criticized Zhang Yimou for using Dong music, but did not help publicize that it was a Dong song.
In order to achieve the purpose of being concerned, Wu Hongfei likes to express his attitude with humor that is "not easy to be understood".
Obviously, the lack of love in her youth makes Wu Hongfei desperately need to get the attention of others, but the rebellion and uninhibitedness she inspires from rock music is destined to make her not "go with the flow" and easily compromise, so it is embodied as her maverick language expression.
This adolescence pain may have become her lifelong brand, and it is estimated that it will not be eliminated in this lifetime.
Some people may think that Wu Hongfei is about to know the age of the Mandate of Heaven, and his speech is still not covered, which is really "not very decent."
But for a strange woman who may pull adolescence throughout her life, we ordinary people who will only rebel for three or five years, why should we use our own standards to define whether she lives "decently"?
