Being in the storm and at the peak, use time to answer why Li Yuchun.
This is the title of the latest episode of "Jia Yibing Ding" interview program, directed by Jia Zhangke and dialogue with singer Li Yuchun.
This title could not be more appropriate for the original top Li Yuchun.
Now when it comes to the summer that made Li Yuchun famous in 2005, she bluntly said that it was more like a movie about summer, with unique colors and smells, and even the sound contained many, many pictures.
It's just that this movie can never be re-screened, and can only remain in the memory forever.
But for many fans who like Li Yuchun "corn", the curtain belonging to Li Yuchun has just opened.
As the music sounded, Li Yuchun danced on this stage without ending.
So, in this issue, we will follow director Jia Zhangke to see how Li Yuchun maintains his peak and wins love?
Ten years of enthusiasm, to create a concert brand
In the summer of 2005, Li Yuchun quickly became popular throughout the country after winning the championship in "Super Girl".
To what extent is this popularity, in Gao Xiaosong's words, "Li Yuchun raised his arm at that time was money."
Record companies all over Beijing hope to sign with Li Yuchun.
At that time, Li Yuchun was only 21 years old, and she felt too big and a little ignorant about the arrival of all this.
But there is one point, Li Yuchun is sober.
She did not blindly choose those record companies that threw a lot of money, but chose to create high-quality Maihe Ota.
Ota Maiheri has Zhang Yadong, a music producer that Li Yuchun has liked very much since he was a student.
She feels more comfortable with someone who really loves music.
As she told Jia Zhangke, she wished she was "very close to music, maybe a little bit closer to business." ”
Li Yuchun did what he said, and since 2006, he has held concerts with the theme of "WHY ME".
This was done for ten years, and eventually became her personal concert brand.
In the past ten years, Li Yuchun has not only sung countless popular songs, but also completed the transformation from a talent singer to a singer-songwriter, and released many albums.
Starting from the album "Li Yuchun" in 2009, Li Yuchun began to record the production process of his life with music.
By the 2012 album "No More Crazy, We Will Be Old", Li Yuchun has been able to skillfully integrate his own thinking about life into his creation.
In that year, Li Yuchun suddenly found that he lacked life, and only had three o'clock a line every day.
She incorporated this deficiency into the album "No More Crazy We Will Be Old".
Later, Li Yuchun extended his perspective to social events.
In 2017, she was inspired by the Manchester bombings to create Fireworks.
Looking back on Li Yuchun's career over the years, Jia Zhangke said she had a spirit of self-reflection and self-doubt.
And the best interpretation of this spirit is the establishment of WHY ME's personal brand.
At the beginning, with Li Yuchun's overnight explosion, in addition to fame and fortune, there were also doubts and controversies.
Some say she has been on fire for no more than three years.
Someone doesn't like the temperament she exudes.
Because of her gender-neutral profile, she faced the cancellation of her singing show when the party started immediately.
Once, when she was participating in a music festival to accept an award, a male singer was written on the back of her name on the screen.
Li Yuchun wants to use WHY ME to prove why it can't be her, on the other hand, he wants to promote self-demand and efforts, and impress fans with good works.
So Li Yuchun said to Jia Zhangke that this is not only a period, but also an exclamation point.
Li Yuchun did it, songs, film and television, fashion developed in many aspects, persevered in the storm, and finally proved himself.
Three years of cold observation, in-depth experience and observation of life
Director Jia Zhangke asked Li Yuchun, what do she think is the most valuable musical quality?
Li Yuchun said it was absorption. She believes that whether she makes music or not, the absorption of life needs to be three-dimensional:
If we just talk about music, it's a technique that can be done. Then its real flesh and blood and content actually need to be accumulated through your own life, that is, to capture some of the real things in that life as much as possible.
Li Yuchun firmly believes that we do not live in a vacuum. Only by integrating these real observations and reflections into the song can we move people's hearts.
Especially in the past three years, Li Yuchun, who has slowed down, has begun to feel his insignificance and pay more attention to observing life.
Li Yuchun, who used to be a trapeze man every day, did not have time to observe the short time of early summer.
But in the past three years, she has had time to observe the change of the color of the flowers in early summer in May, and the change of clouds in the sky.
This feeling of powerlessness that is afraid of disappearing in early summer but has to disappear will be reflected in Li Yuchun in her next new album.
This delicate expression is the resonance and absorption of Li Yuchun's life.
In addition to observing nature, Li Yuchun also observes people and things in life.
For example, late at night, Li Yuchun went back to observe the behavior of the nurses on duty, and would notice details such as nurses on duty all night wearing slippers and shuttling back and forth, and experiencing the different life conditions.
Perhaps this is why Li Yuchun can always impress fans, go deep into life and capture those real things.
Finally, Jia Zhangke asked Li Yuchun how to deal with various social changes such as the rise of short videos in recent years, and Li Yuchun quoted Jia Zhangke's words as a response:
"We need some tough people who are tough enough to dance with this era, not to put on their own armor as if I were independent."
The attitude expressed here is to bravely dance with the times, not afraid of change, and willing to meet the unknown and challenges.
After the whole interview, I seemed to understand why Li Yuchun was liked by many people, she just dared to be herself, insisted on being herself, and has always bravely danced with the times.
In short, those who survive the storm are already strong, can still maintain the peak, and are the strongest of the strong.
I hope that such Li Yuchun can always be like the 21-year-old self said to himself in the summer of 21 at the 10th anniversary concert of WHY ME in Chengdu in 2015, "I must do better than you." ”
