I don't know why, the older I get, the more I like to watch the stage of the old boy.
Before I thought that Mango TV's "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" invited half of the sisters of the entertainment industry to the front of the stage, it was already very powerful, and I did not expect a joke that had been made to "The Brother Who Cut through the Thorns" really did it.
I didn't watch the first season, because I really thought it was a joke at first, but then when people ended it, I was surprised that this show really existed.
Wait until this year, Su Youpeng sang "Love" on the whole network, sighing at the same time to make up the second season of the return of the lively, seeing the once brilliant figures in the entertainment industry, can't help but miss those lost youth.
The second season of "Brother With Thorns" began broadcasting, causing the whole network to "remember to kill";
Which "brother" brought back your green years as soon as he opened his voice?
One
Spoiled "Brother"
I am because of Zhang Zhenyue, and as soon as the prelude to his "Miss is a Disease" came out, it was instantly crossed.
I forget that year, or school, when the most electronic device I wanted to have was mp3, because then I could cycle the song on the bus.
"When you're on the other side of the mountain, I have no end to the lonely road. How much time in a lifetime, I found that I had lost the most important thing, and suddenly realized that I was long gone."
"We're always complaining about the backfire, but we don't want to look back at ourselves and think about what stupid things we've done."
Such a lyric, not only the fans in the audience burst into tears, but even the brothers in the audience were excited and wet their eyes.
Mention this variety show, the opening chapter was circled by Zheng Jun. In fact, I have long felt that Zheng Jun is a very characterful person, and he is playing rock and roll, how can he not be 'messed up' like this.
When he sat in front of the camera with a patient face, visibly did not wake up, was forced to wear makeup, was forced to change clothes one after another, and was forced to cope with the program group's inquiry "Are you happy" and smiled and replied, "You are happy", he almost wrote "forced to open" on the door of his head. Seeing this can't help but smile the same as Teacher Zheng Jun, so isn't it the daily life of today's 'hit workers'.
It's cute, but you can't imagine that after moving into the dormitory, he wears his wife's hair band on his head, wears a mask, and does it cross-legged... If I didn't know that I was watching "The Brother Who Cut through the Thorns", this comfortable and relaxed state I would have been meditating at home.
The definition of the so-called "cutting through thorns" focuses on shaping male group portraits in the show, shaping the process of male search, self-recovery and self-awakening, that is, the core concept is "I want to awaken". What hasn't changed from the first season to the present is that the show focuses on activating the guests' juvenile status and convincing them that "he's okay and willing to fight again."
In addition to Zheng Jun's 'forced business', The letter and Ma Wei's ordering a barbecue every night is also very dramatic, in Ma Wei's words, the letter is to eat salad at noon every day, and pull him to order a barbecue in the evening.
"I can't lose weight with Brother Xin." It's really sad and funny.
At the beginning of the first stage, when all the brothers gathered in the room, I felt a little hallucination, it was really a collection of brothers from all walks of life, full of memories to kill, even Ren Xianqi said: Wow, so happy, when will we have the opportunity to bring everyone together, really.
When I heard this, it was as if everyone had either come to fight or come to a party.
So the real poking place of this variety show is not to watch these brothers' 'messing up daily' and 'social daily life', but in many jagged, inner volume, and depressed variety shows, there is finally an outlier existence. The return of the second season of "Brothers with Thorns" is just right, it caters to the emotional gap of the public, and also sublimates the public's emotional value of 'youth'.
Relax a little and listen to concerts, what a rarity.
Two
'Free' concerts
Although the first stage was four people divided into a tribe, it did not affect my 'star chasing' in the slightest.
I barely rushed to a concert. Not only because of the epidemic, but also because of the impact of age: when I was young, I dreamed of going to a concert, but because of academic and family pressure, I could never catch the last train; When I could afford a ticket on my own, I grew up and they stopped taking concerts.
Zheng Jun said after listening to Su Youpeng's tribe sing "Red Dragonfly": "Life is too fast, in a flash. ”
Not only Zheng Jun, Pan Shuai, Xin, Zhang Zhenyue, etc., all really couldn't stand the years and sighed.
For the Little Tigers, many people's memories can be recalled, they were a typical 'product of the commodity society' at that time, each of the capitals in it had a huge impact at the time, and now it sounds like a bumpy and profound meaning of life here:
"We've all grown up, and a lot of dreams are flying, like the red dragonflies we saw in childhood."
"As the worries grew and the glass marbles became less and less, I knew I was slowly growing up."
The letter said that this show is very annoying, because it is the ups and downs of an era, so it is particularly touching. In this way, like the 'Wang Xinling Boys', almost the first phase of the broadcast just ended, 'Su Youpeng Girl' appeared on major social platforms, nostalgic for youth, but also to commemorate the 'era of dreams'.
People who have experienced the Little Tigers, "people who are not young, do not follow the stars, and slowly grow old in a life of repetition, exhaustion, and no surprises." Then as soon as Su Youpeng opened his mouth, he took them back to their youth. The little tigers' songs are very special, and in the past thirty years, they have bid farewell to more than thirty graduates. He wished us a bright future, and he also wished us that even if we did not have a bright future, we could face, accept, and let go, and grow into a happy self. ”
On the first stage, almost all the brothers sang their masterpieces without accident:
Ren Xianqi sang "Sad Pacific":
"One wave has not subsided, and one wave has come and gone, and the sea of people is vast and stormy
One wave is not too late, a wave has long passed, a lifetime is like a dream waking up."
The letter was still so tall that he went to that station, singing "Love When You Die":
"Not to the fullest, not to be happy."
Su Youpeng's fingers are compared, his body is rhythmic, almost reproducing his former self, singing the representative work of the Little Tigers , "Love":
"Let all the calls for the future be a companion in their youth"
Wu Kequn sang the most familiar song "Write Poems for You":
"Write poetry for you, stand still for you, do the impossible for you."
Zheng Jun still wears sunglasses with a guitar, and a song "elopement" makes people scratch their hearts and scratch their livers:
"We paid the price for this dream."
One by one, they took the stage, picked up the microphone, and went back ten or twenty years.
Their appearance did not seem to change, but as soon as they turned to wipe their tears and looked up and sighed, they knew that they were all old.
Three
Because of them, tears welled up
I don't know why, "Through the Thorns" is much more online than the photographer of "Ride the Wind and Waves". Choreography, lighting, follow-up, editing, post-flowing clouds, coupled with the brothers' songs, there is no bug at all.
All the spectators present waved the same wrist lighting device, changing and waving with each song, pulling the stage details to the fullest, so that everyone could understand the belated 'forever young, always tearful'.
Many people may think of them as the label of 'nostalgia', but in fact, they are not, they are never a 'symbol of archaeological nostalgia', their music represents every generation of young people. Whether you are a post-90s or a post-00s, the troubles and dreams we grow up are never different.
In the second season of "Cut through thorns", the brothers who came to participate did not come to the final goal, but just wanted to turn red at such an age; Earn milk powder money if you can make milk powder money; A breakthrough that can break through... In short, they all want to take a step forward, while remembering their past selves, and then taste a new life.
It is said that now somehow, from nostalgia for ancient idols to nostalgia for the golden age of Chinese pop music, it seems that it is becoming easier and easier for us to rub into the 'archaeological boom'. It is said that today's songs are not good, and today's stage is not to be seen, but the most important thing is that we are particularly easy to fall in love with these classic songs 'once again'.
The years will pass, the brothers will be old, but the songs will not be old, and they will not be old.
The letter singing "Dead to Love" or use the original tone, down to tune back; They take the stage very seriously and enjoy it; The reason why we miss it so much is because we have grown up to understand these lyrics: when we are young, we can't understand them, and when we understand them, we are not young.
