Now music variety shows emerge in an endless stream, from hip-hop to bel canto, all niche music cultures have found their own soil for dissemination. The "Instant Electric Sound" broadcast on December 1 also allowed listeners to contact electronic music, and the gods of the electric sound circle also came to the public eye.
In the first program, the appearance of "Tu Hi" on behalf of Wang Yilong caused heated discussion. Speaking of Wang Yilong, you may not know me, but you must have heard the song "If I were a DJ, would you love me?".
The creator of this divine comedy is Wang Xuanlong, who calls himself the "King of Electric Music", who also came to participate in "Instant Electric Sound".
However, Wang's immediate journey did not go well.
When the star manager Zhang Wei proposed the keyword of "wild road son", no producer was willing to admit it, only Wang Yilong was the first to stand up. Wang Yilong felt that he had been teaching himself electronic music all along, which was in line with Zhang Wei's statement.
Wang Xuanlong still has a certain status in the hearts of many producers, and everyone knows that there is such a person, who is honored as "Brother Dragon".
But recognition does not necessarily mean recognition, and everyone is actually a bit difficult to say about his music.
Although there was a bit of a black and red feeling, Wang Xuanlong himself was very confident. Da Zhang Wei asked the producers below what their favorite Plug-in (plug-in) was, and the others answered the name of the effect, while Wang Xuanlong domineeringly replied that it was his own vocal.
By the time he took the stage to perform, Wang Xuanlong showed his music, and at the same time let everyone see why his style was called "Tu Hi".
Musically, he has been repeating the echoing accent, and the lyrics and melody are simply brainwashed.
Formally, the beginning shouts a hot field phrase, "Where's the scream?"
He wore large gold chains and sunglasses and began to take off.
The final ending pose is a turn of the back, holding the mirror leg in hand, and the action is completed in one go, slightly old-school.
Dragon-style earth hi let the whole audience boil, not to mention the live audience, I began to shake my legs in front of the computer, sing along, almost put my hands up.
Under the appearance of this kind of full-time hi, Da Zhang Wei felt that Wang Xuanlong had a big problem. First of all, "Tu Hi" is no problem, he has a large audience, but Wang Xuanlong's music has no attitude.
It sounds like a cut from music elsewhere and then sung three times to form the song.
For Da ZhangWei's evaluation, other players also agreed.
Da Zhang Wei next has a sharper evaluation. In his opinion, the music made by Wang Yilong is not based on personal preferences, but to catch up with popularity.
Wang Xuanlong, who had been suppressed for a long time, began to refute it.
He thinks that "tu hi" is not bad, music is not divided into soil, as long as someone likes it is good.
Wang Xuanlong also said a passage that people could not refute, "Although Tu Hi is earthy, it is really hi."
The battered Wang Xuanlong is still full of confidence, he said that he did not need to evaluate the proof to participate in this show, because in the hearts of his fans, Wang Xuanlong is stronger than the world's top 100.
After the show, Wang Yilong's Weibo posted a lot of comments. Some passers-by expressed dissatisfaction with him, but Wang Xuanlong's fans immediately came out to accuse and guard Aidou.
There are also fans who frantically confess that if they go according to this rhythm, maybe Wang Xuanlong will be resurrected.
Through the comments of fans, it can be found that Wang Xuanlong's energy is not small, and his influence is extraordinary.
A difficult childhood
Born in Shenyang, Wang's parents divorced when he was 7 years old, and his father had no financial resources, so Wang Hadrow could only live with his grandparents. At the end of the third grade of primary school, Wang Yilong scored a perfect score in the exam, and he happily went to find his mother with the report card, but on the way he did not pay attention to the truck that drove over, and a car accident fractured his left leg and thigh.
In the hospital room, Wang's mother looked at the child very distressed and asked him what he wanted to eat, and Wang Xuanlong only weakly replied that she wanted to eat barreled instant noodles. Wang's mother asked why, and he replied: "At school, I have been eating the cheapest instant noodles for 7 cents, and I dream of eating barreled instant noodles." ”
Teach yourself the path of electrophony
In 1997, at the age of 14, Wang Yilong fell in love with electronic dance music. At this time, due to his family's difficulties and unable to go to college, he gave up his studies and asked his mother for tuition to go around to study DJs.
In 2001, after being introduced by netizens, he came to a small bar in a county town in Fujian to apply as a DJ. After an audition, the bar owner agreed. I thought that my working life would be improved, but I didn't expect that the next day netizens stole his savings. He wanted to find a bar owner to advance his salary, but just in time for all the bars in Fujian Province to be required to close for 10 days, and there was no way to advance his salary. Wang Xuanlong had to borrow 10 yuan from the security guards in the venue and eat a pack of 7 cents of instant noodles every day for 10 days.
Until the bar opened, Wang Xuanlong was finally able to work and bought some daily necessities with his advance salary. But the good times were short-lived, and in the first month of work, Wang Xuanlong met more than 40 DJs to play the field, and at the same time, his girlfriend at the time proposed to break up, and his father gambled to sell the family house.
Wang Xuanlong encountered a bigger challenge and forced him to commit suicide, but he persevered, and the 40 djs who kicked the stadium were also inferior to him, admitting that he was the first DJ in Fujian. At the same time, the DJ of the kicking pavilion also suggested to him that his dance music was too outdated, and other bars had invited foreign original DJs, and he should also learn to make.
So in 2001, Wang Xuanlong went to an Internet café to rent a low-end computer of the Pentium 3 and began to learn to make electronic music by himself. Outside of work, he also studied piano, guitar and other instruments as well as English. Finally, he made his first original single "Accompanying Hi Sister", and in 2003, he created the original dance song "I am tonight's DJ", and Wang Xuanlong was on fire.
Orthodox commercial operation
In October 2006, Wang signed to Taiwan's "I ME Records", by which time he already had an album with ten original music pieces. He gave up his job in Fujian and came to Beijing to develop, producing a lot of music with a high degree of popularity.
In 2010, Wang Xuanlong terminated his contract with I ME Records, founded his own record company "Dragon Records", and also had his own electronic music label, starting the peak of his life. The Divine Comedy "Midnight DJ" and "King of Electronic Music" were launched, and many outsiders in the circle knew the professional image of DJ. At that time, the trunk of many private cars would put a few inferior speakers, which contained a few dollars of on-board CDs, most of which were Wang Yilong's music.
Hip-hop female singer VAVA also signed a contract with Wang Yilong in 2014, and the two sang and released the single "Just This Tune". At that time, the press release was that VAVA was Wang Xuanlong's beloved disciple.
At the end of 2016, the voice of VAVA participating in the dream was recognized by everyone, and she was immediately dug out as Wang Xuanlong's apprentice. But VAVA denied this, and VAVA's company YES MUSIC also hoped that people would stop hyping up VAVA.
VAVA does not recognize wang as an apprentice, but Wang has other students, and after he became famous, he opened a radio sound training school with tuition fees ranging from 15,000 to 28,800.
Work is moving towards formality, and personal life is also very happy. Someone once said that his wife was a happy woman working in a Fujian nightclub, but she was actually a media reporter she met at a press conference. The two married in 2009, and their wife, Rissa, is 2 years younger than him and is from Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia. Because grandpa is Russian, he has 1/4 Russian blood and is a tall beauty with Mixed Chinese and Russian blood.
The child is also two years old this year.
Although Wang Yilong's family business is now very successful, the controversy about him has not stopped. The first is to say that his music is "Tu Hi".
Some people say that if the arrangement is compared to programming, then Wang Duolong's song is at best a hello world with a for loop. To put it simply, the way he adapted is relatively simple and rough, all of them are echoing accents, all are 4/4 beats, constantly repeating and repeating, and the "hi points" created are also more grounded.
Wang Yilong's Tu Hi is his own original, and some Tu Hi is a string of mixes, there is no change at all on the basis of the original song, and the speed of the song is slowed down or simply transposed, and then the sound of the drums is increased and intensified to create the so-called "Hi Song".
If "Tu Hi" is still reasonable, then the plagiarized label is less glorious. Wang Yilong was affectionately called "the master of electronic chineseization" by netizens, which means that he will move foreign electronic music over, and then fill in Chinese words and sing it.
Some netizens have concluded that Wang Yilong's electronic tone is exactly the same as the music of some foreign DJs.
Regarding his own controversy, Wang Yilong has also responded many times. He has a good mentality and has always said that he will insist on being himself and ignore the evaluation of people who do not like himself.
Not only did he have the attitude of "not listening or listening, Wang Ba's recitation", but he also always secretly changed his concept, calling people who did not like to listen to Tu Hi as chongyang and charming, and was a traitorous lackey.
In the self-made program "Wang Yilong Talk Show", he also popularized how Chinese electronic music developed, and angrily scolded the people who said that he was dirty. The most puzzling thing is that he represents himself as the entire Chinese electronic music industry, and all those who scold him are cursing Chinese electronic music.
Watching this video of him, Qiu Qiu simply had nothing to say, and the whole paragraph was a slot point.
In the words of Da Zhang Wei, has your character not been beaten?
In the end, Wang Xuanlong concluded by saying that listening to Chinese electronic music is listening to Wang Xuanlong, and it is really courageous to be able to say such a thing.
However, Wang Xuanlong, who was surrounded by controversy, did survive, and promoted the electric sound outside the circle, and there were many die-hard fans who followed him, even the square dancing aunt fell in love with him.
When he sang on stage, there were many fans taking pictures and cheering.
His music has also become the vibrato of the moment.
Whether you think that Wang Xuanlong is not native, his existence means that the market needs people like him, and Da Zhang Wei also feels that Wang Xuanlong does not need to change and can continue to adhere to his own style.
But Wang Yilong alone cannot represent Chinese electronic music, and not liking his music does not mean denying the entire Chinese electronic music. Listeners also need to know more and better electronic music producers and understand the multiple aspects of electronic music.
In the past, our understanding of electronic music may be relatively narrow or there are misunderstandings, but the emergence of "Instant Electric Sound" has narrowed the distance between Chinese listeners and electronic music. At the same time, the director of the program did not judge the right or wrong of the music, nor did he have the distinction of elegance and custom, giving the producers great freedom, so that they could boldly create local electronic music works.
Listeners outside the circle may have known only Wang Xuanlong before, but now their eyes have been opened, and among the many electronic producers with different styles, you can always find the one you like.
