Mention the name Guo Feng, many young people may be relatively unfamiliar, but as long as Guo Feng's works are mentioned, everyone will definitely hum a few words.
Guo Feng is an all-round musician who integrates songwriting, arranging, producing, performing, singing, planning and directing, and many people call him the son of the Orient, a singer who is even better than Jay Chou.
The songs created by Guo Feng are all majestic and have Chinese characteristics, and even if they become popular, most of them are public welfare activities organized by the state. Such singers are difficult to find a second place in the current entertainment industry.
And he appeared on the screen again at the age of 59, or because of the media honor night of the movie channel, it was a great honor to be able to invite Guo Feng teacher this time.
"Let the World Be Full of Love" is immortal
Because a similar song was recorded abroad for the "International Year of Peace", the ex-girlfriend of the musician Guo Feng proposed that such a song should also be created at home, so Guo Feng quickly had inspiration and spent a few days to create this familiar "Let the World Be Full of Love".
In the cultural context of the time, it was not allowed to bring love in songs, and the chorus of more than a dozen singers was never done, because the people at that time rejected popular music and thought that popular music was an unhealthy thing.
And Guo Feng's thinking is very advanced, he should be Chinese music is too conservative, no color, there are many rules. So Guo Feng boldly innovated and dared to be the first person to eat crabs.
At that time, it was stipulated that more than three pop singers could not share the stage, so Guo Feng invited more than 100 singers to perform on stage together. When the opening song "Let the World Be Full of Love" sounded, hundreds of influential singers slowly walked out of the backstage, singing the song in unison, pushing the whole performance to a climax.
The audience under the stage was stunned, because the visual impact of the hundred-person chorus was too strong. After the performance, many TV stations rushed to report on it, and everyone praised such a new form of performance.
At the time, an audience member predicted: "I think this performance can rewrite the Chinese music scene, which is a landmark experiment." "It turns out that the audience's prediction was quite correct.
It is precisely because of Guo Feng's "bold and out of line" move that he has changed the long-standing conservative regulations. The live chorus of hundreds of pop singers has created history and left a strong mark. The 100-person chorus broke the stereotype of "Let the World Be Full of Love", and the song also turned a new page in Chinese pop music.
From now on, pop songs can become mainstream because Guo Feng made a lot of efforts in that year. It can be seen that Guo Feng has a profound influence on the development of popular music in the mainland.
Musical talent, quite accomplished
Guo Feng's musical attainments have been evident since he was a child, and Guo Feng was born in a musical family. His father was a famous composer, but because Guo Feng's father did not catch up with a good era, although he was talented, he had nowhere to vent.
After Guo Feng was born, Guo Feng's father not only required Guo Feng to learn the knowledge in the textbook, but also required him to be proficient in music knowledge.
At that time, Guo Feng was still an ignorant child, and he thought that the flowers and plants outside were more interesting than the piano. Therefore, when his father let Guo Feng practice, Guo Feng always chose to escape, although in the end he was beaten for not practicing, Guo Feng also felt that it was worth it.
Maybe he didn't think at that time how much he hated music at that time, and how much he loved music later. Under the tireless teaching of Guo Feng's father, Guo Feng's "elm head" was enlightened.
Guo Feng's musical talent slowly showed, and he also had a unique insight into music, coupled with his father's subtle influence on him. When Guo Feng was a teenager, he wrote the amazing song "Moonlight". After graduation, Guo Feng was admitted to the school and became the youngest piano teacher in the school.
However, he only taught in school for a few years, because he had a rebellious heart in his bones and was unwilling to live according to the rules. Finally, one day, Guo Feng grew long hair, resigned his stable iron rice bowl, and chose to drift north.
Life in The North Drift is not satisfactory, Guo Feng's savings are almost spent and he has not found a suitable job, and he returns to his rental house late at night with only a broken guitar. In order to vent his inner bitterness, Guo Feng created many songs that fit his state of mind. Although life in Beijing is very hard, Guo Feng has never regretted it.
Fortunately, gold always shines, and Guo Feng was introduced to Wang Kun, the leader of the song and dance troupe, when Guo Feng told the truth about his idea of breaking pop music. After Wang Kun listened, he thought that Guo Feng had a very good idea, and under the promotion of Wang Kun, Guo Feng led a hundred singers to sing "Let the World Be Full of Love".
Spend your life with music
Guo Feng's songs are not outdated in today's view, and have always dominated the top three of KTV's list. Guo Feng seems to have been born for music, and he has spent his life on music.
He said in an interview that music can make him passionate, full of confidence, make his heart pure, and he is willing to blend into music. He also said that he didn't care about anything but music, and Guo Feng's musical path was very pure.
Guo Feng's music is unique, and his dress is also very elaborate, just like Wang Feng loves leather pants, Guo Feng not only always wears glasses, but also has a long hair.
The yellow long head and sunglasses seem to have become his "standard", because Guo Feng has always worn such clothes, so his outfit has been deeply imprinted in everyone's heart. If he tried something else, he might have lost his unique character.
Marriage problems became the mother's knot
Today, Guo Feng rarely launches new works, and does not participate in as many performances as other artists. Musically accomplished, he has not moved emotionally, and his marriage problems have also become his mother's biggest knot, and now at the age of 59, he is still with his mother, and he is still unmarried and childless, which is really lonely.
