As the champion team of the Children of Tomorrow Orchestra Season, the Luck Alliance has received its hottest wave this summer.
Two weeks ago, they released their debut EP. We shared the MV of the title song "Live in Me It's My Life" to people of different ages and occupations, and edited their most authentic and intuitive feelings into a video and showed it to five members.
The most mentioned thing is that "the new song is very good, but it is not a band". With these comments in mind, we interviewed the Luck Alliance again.
The interview was a little different, we turned off the cameras and lights and had a separate conversation with each of them, with the five members chatting in their most comfortable state without any makeup and hair.
⊇ Hu Yutong ⊆
When Hu Yutong entered the room, he was carrying a bottle of beer in his hand, and he politely asked if he could drink and talk. So we started the third conversation in a very relaxed atmosphere.
Before chatting, we first showed Mr. Hu a review video, and halfway through, he stopped and asked: Will this be put on the Internet? There seemed to be some concern among the interviewees, and after learning that the video was only visible to the five of them, he was relieved to continue to look down.
Compared with the sense of power and rhythm of the drumming, Hu Yutong's writing has another sense of romantic and artistic atmosphere, which spreads to the way he speaks, describing things in special detail. For example, if he said that he had fallen asleep on the couch the night before when he was making arrangements, he would tell you that the couch was only half a meter, and people had to curl up, and their feet had to reach into the slit of the sofa to keep the temperature, so he slept until 10 o'clock the next day.
<h3>• Dialogue with Hu Yutong</h3>
Talk: What is your feeling about the new song by passers-by who just watched?
Hu Yutong: Thank you for doing one thing I wanted to do for me, I wanted to hear what other people think about the new song. Originally thought that because of the music this thing has a threshold, did not expect that everyone now understands music, the degree of understanding of music is getting higher and higher, in fact, people from all walks of life can hear some good and bad parts of music, I think it is very objective, most of the views I can accept.
Talk: What is your own assessment of the new song "Live in Me"?
Hu Yutong: I think this song has achieved my personal goal, but for the music itself and the MV itself, I actually think there is better room to do it more carefully, but it is good now. Just like a factory can produce flawless products, but some people prefer handmade crafts, I think the difference between a band and a pop singer is that he must have something handmade in it.
Talk: Do you pay attention to the online evaluation after your performance?
Hu Yutong: After the band finished the performance, I received some negative evaluations, but I was fine, after all, I experienced a lot of skin and thickened, and I was mainly worried that my teammates would be affected. In fact, we can do it well, but we haven't found a good way before.
Talk: What is your ideal state of the band doing songs?
Hu Yutong: I think it takes five people together to make music with the help of a good producer who understands us. Like we were discussing just now, whether this melody is solved at level 4 or 5, let's discuss it together. In fact, as far as music is concerned, every detail is a little better, today's vocals here are a little better, the instruments over there are better, the day after tomorrow the mix is a little better, every place is a little better, so that the whole song can be completely different.
Talk: I heard that today is the first time you've recently gathered to sing together?
Hu Yutong: I had a period of time before, in order not to affect everyone's mood, completely let go of the band, how happy everyone came, but after going through that stage, I felt that there was still a need for someone to take the lead in doing something.
During that time, everyone was rebellious, and I was also rebellious. You see the band I made myself, I don't care about it, I let everyone play in it any way they want. The difficulty of the band is that it is difficult to get 5 people to like one thing at the same time, and it is difficult to find a style that suits all 5 people. But I don't think it's a bad thing to have these contradictions, and if you always seek common ground, you will actually have problems. But if the difference is too big, there may be no opportunity for common ground, so there is always this state between the far and the near between the advance and the retreat, which I think is very good, it is a mutual bondage, but also a mutual encouragement.
Talk: Have you adjusted your vision for the band since the game?
Hu Yutong: I was thinking recently that if the band could go down. We don't need to compare with others, as long as we can find the core that belongs to the air connection, then many difficulties are not afraid. For example, in the future, you suddenly encounter difficulties one day and you don't want to do it, what force can support you to persevere; suddenly one day your traffic, your fans have disappeared, you can still go down, that means that we have a very stable core.
Talk: Next time if you are on the hot search, what are the keywords of your group?
Hu Yutong: I think that recently everyone should not be on the hot search again, I have been on the hot search a lot, I don't want to stay in that place, I want to do something serious, I think I was a little out of state some time ago.
Talk: So you re-edited the content that Weibo was at the top of?
Hu Yutong: I think playing drums is my real skill. Now I am converting the bottom floor of my house into a drum room, and no matter how busy I am, I hope that as soon as I return to Beijing, I can get up every morning and practice for a while.
Talk: Why write a small essay after each awards ceremony?
Hu Yutong: The first small essay is my personal first, and the second small essay is the first time of our group. This is the first time you have this feeling, it is a feeling of my moment, but I want to express it, when others are looking at those Vanity Fair, I organized the language, I think I should still say something.
Talk: How do you think about idol baggage? Do you think you'll have an idol baggage side?
Hu Yutong: Sometimes I feel that I am a little different from ordinary people, because I have received more attention, but sometimes, I will also feel that I am an ordinary person, and compared with many people, I am not so great, don't think about how much you think about yourself, this is the level that you have to accept, you have ordinary places, there are also shining places, if you feel that shine well, then keep it.
Talk: What kind of person do you think you are?
Hu Yutong: Before I was 25 years old, I thought I was quite divided. I may not be the same as I am this evening, and I may not be the same tomorrow as I was yesterday. I've been bothered too, but I started reflecting on it after 25 years, and I feel like it's an asset to me because there are a lot of feelings in my heart that can change. Am I having so many noodles?
Talk: The multi-faceted trait is very good for artistic creation
Hu Yutong: But maybe it's not too good for the boss (laughs). I was picking up a few of them to the studio today, looking at these high-rise cars on the road, and I was thinking that maybe many years ago, everything now was incredible for people at that time. Just like I think cars will one day fly in the sky, but before that, the vast majority of people will question the feasibility of this idea. I feel like my character is, if it has a rationality that it needs to exist, where are so many problems?
So a lot of people ask me, what kind of person are you? I said I don't know, why should I know what kind of person I am, I can only say that I don't do things that hurt others. There are people in this world who change the world, people who help others change the world, there are people who don't want to change the world, and many people live in their comfort zone. I want them to stick to what they want, but I want to change myself.
Tanzi: Do you want to tell us about why you cry when you play drums on stage during the Changsha tour?
Hu Yutong: The matter of shedding tears is not necessarily sad. Changsha is a base camp of our company, and many staff members came to that scene. I saw them backstage, many of them accompanied us from the interview to today, and then recalled that I was alone in the epidemic pushing two trucks of drums, which should have been hundreds of pounds, and it cost thousands of dollars to check it down. After getting off the plane, these drum boxes were all carried by myself. Thinking back to these pictures at that time, there are some emotions.
Talk: How would you like to drive this car? Is it a uniform speed or?
Hu Yutong: I just want to set short-term goals now and do a good job in each of our next performances. Also, the team and I were trying to plan something to actually make a big shed that could perform.
Talk: Since the band was founded, is there anything you originally believed to be but are now compromised?
Hu Yutong: One thing is quite ironic, I always thought that the drummer and the bass player must be very compatible, but I don't have a bass in my band. Recently I came up with a solution with my producer friend to add electric bass to our arrangement. We don't have a bass, so let's let the computer make a bass. This bass may not be emotional, but it can make our audience very happy, because our low frequencies are powerful enough, and this is a solution for me or a compromise.
Talk: So now the band as a whole is in a very positive state?
Hu Yutong: I think it is developing in a good direction. A while ago, Zhao Ke and I had some differences of opinion, but our starting point was to hope that the band was better, after thinking clearly, I wrote him a small essay, after experiencing so much together, I hope not to affect the big things we want to complete because of these small things, and soon we will be reconciled. I believe that as long as everyone can take the qilian as their base camp and slowly find the core strength, no matter what the outside world is, all 5 of us can be well.
Talk: Are there any particularly happy and regrettable places on recent tours?
Hu Yutong: Unfortunately, several games have been cancelled. There was also the Shanghai field, my dad went to the door of the performance venue, and then he said that there were too many little girls inside, and it was a bit contrary to everyone to go in, so my dad didn't come. The happy part is that everyone starts to walk.
Talk: What do you think of your relationship with your fans?
Hu Yutong: What can't be escaped is that we have a lot of attributes of fans. As a team, I don't expect each of us to be liked by every fan. We are the first such regiment, we are rushing to the front, we have no lessons from the past, since it is a new thing, let's adapt together, together to find a balance point.
Talk: Say a word to the 2020 and 2021 Gas Association, what do you want to say?
Hu Yutong: In 2020, I would like to say that you have created a precedent, how deep and shallow this river is, no one can say, if you are the first in the popularity of the show, these things may be coincidence and luck, may be untouchable things. As the first to cross this river, we see if we can go to the other side of the river, and don't live up to these firsts.
2020 began to go down to this river, 2021 is in the river, no matter whether it is muddy or shallow, no matter how we go forward first, why no one has to walk this river before, it is because this river must not be easy to walk. It's okay to take your time, you don't have to go to the other side of the river in a minute, if we can go to the other side of the river in a year, it will also make me feel no challenge.
I can swim anyway.
⊇ Tian Hongjie ⊆
It is often seen that some people say that The bear's speech gives people a polite sense of distance, for a 19-year-old college student, after all, through a cruel and high-pressure competition to the public, the caution in front of the camera can also be understood, which may also be a way for him to protect himself.
This time without a camera, he said that everything wants to be honest, even the adolescent rebellion is willing to share with us very directly, through this dialogue, we have experienced a real three-dimensional bear. Although I am still confused occasionally, I am constantly actively self-healing and self-growing. As the lucky one who was voted out by the public, his mentality remained very sober, hoping that work and life could be separated, work was busy, and he also wanted to feel life well.
After the interview, The bear said he was hungry, so we gave him a piece of candy, which he happily accepted. Ask him if he needs to eat another one, and immediately say that he has to control his weight and not be too arrogant. Although he is still a college student, his speech and demeanor have the consciousness of an artist.
By the way, on the night of the interview, it snowed a lot in Beijing, the little bear came to open the door for us, and when he heard that it was snowing, he immediately rushed out excitedly, the southern children...
<h3>• Dialogue with Tian Hongjie</h3>
Talk: As an audience member, do you like the song "Live in Me"?
Tian Hongjie: My words, this song can make people feel hot blood.
Talk: Do you think your work needs to be recognized by passers-by?
Tian Hongjie: In fact, it depends on what kind of mentality you judge, if you feel that you are in urgent need of works to admit yourself, it may be necessary, but I am actually only at the stage of exercising myself, and I don't care too much about these things.
Talk: You didn't have a deep obsession with the band before, has this idea changed now?
Tian Hongjie: I think this is a kind of fate. If you can meet like-minded people to play together, it is actually a very happy thing, but sometimes you can't fully guarantee that people who have grown up in different environments and backgrounds can have the same ideas, which requires running-in.
Talk: Are you because the format group is together, have you encountered any difficulties in the process of making songs?
Tian Hongjie: In fact, most of the songs are now retracted, and I am more partial to the songs that we discussed and made. Of course, if you receive songs, you can also, but I think that according to everyone's wishes, in the limited number of songs to choose, 5 people may have 5 choices, that is, it is more difficult to be compatible, which is indeed a problem.
Tanzi: Do you think there will be a way to solve this problem?
Tian Hongjie: This requires everyone to compromise, and then get together to a very good single-wood bridge balance point, I think I am willing to exchange and discuss, although the process may be very difficult, but I hope to try to come up with a better plan, can be compatible with you to mine. But this process of communication I hope is a comfortable state for each other, for example, as if when everyone goes out together, I want to go to the place where each other wants to go, not where you make a compromise, go to the place where I want to go and you don't like it, I don't want this to become my own private trip, you are just a companion.
Talk: Have you been particularly happy and regretful on the tour recently?
Tian Hongjie: What is particularly regrettable is that some songs are not submitted for approval in time (laughs). Then there is the surprise, every time I may go on stage, I will have a little nervousness in my heart, but when I go up to the stage and see our audience offstage, they will let me forget about the nervousness, and the mood will be much better.
Talk: I feel that you are now on stage and in a different state of the game, and relax a lot.
Tian Hongjie: Yes, because slowly you get used to the environment, when you look at those teachers during the game, you feel nervous, Deng Ziqi teacher Lang Lang, these predecessors are all sitting in front, Oh my God, it's too scary!
Talk: Will it be reviewed after each performance?
Tian Hongjie: I will excerpt some clips, and I think that where I sing well, I will let it pass. But if you think there is something wrong with which paragraph, you will review it to see what is wrong.
Talk: Are there any plans to learn musical instruments?
Tian Hongjie: I don't have time to be honest now, because it's all at work. And I just finished reading my throat recently, and then I need to put the home tidying up into the rest day of the trip. If I have time later, I want to learn hand discs.
Talk: Is the title a little more stressful or motivating for you?
Tian Hongjie: I look at this matter more normally, for me, even if you are a champion, you still have to do what you have to do, or you have to do what you should do.
Talking: You often get hot searches because of performances, will these affect your mood?
Tian Hongjie: I'm used to it, immune. Some people he doesn't know what you've been through before, he just judges you for a few minutes on stage, to be honest it's cruel, you only have one chance, you sing poorly is bad, you sing well may be the past. After being sad, you perform better in the next game, telling yourself that this game is indeed better than the previous one, or that it is indeed stable than the previous one, which is actually a place of improvement.
Talk: Feel like you're in a good state of mind or have a good ability to heal yourself?
Tian Hongjie: In fact, it is just numbing it. After all, I started to suffer controversy on the show, and now, I feel that I have slowly become accustomed to these things.
Talk: Is this thing used to it, it really doesn't affect you, or do you just block it first?
Tian Hongjie: This is a good question, because I have never thought about the answer to this question.
I can't be completely unconcerned, and if I say I don't care at all, I can sing very easily every scene. I care about the point that I really don't sing well, it doesn't matter, I'll sing it well in the next game. It's like digging a hole and you just fill it up with something in front of you. From childhood to adulthood, my state seems to have always been relatively ups and downs, this time I did not do a good job, the next time I will work hard to improve it.
Talk: Do you still think that growing up is more important than happiness?
Tian Hongjie: Fish and bear paws can't have both, sometimes there may be some very painful things, it will really make you feel very uncomfortable at the moment, but you look back at this thing, it is the process you have spent, you will feel that after I experience this very painful thing, I will get something that I can't get in happiness.
Talk: From a college student to a social person, do you feel that you have adapted?
Tian Hongjie: The current state is OK. In fact, sometimes I don't know if it's because I've been in a hurry, there's no time to stop, sometimes you can't calm down and think about something, there's not much time to talk to yourself, and it's inevitable that you'll be a little anxious. However, I am also in the process of adjusting, and I should be able to adapt slowly.
Talk: What do you want people to like about you?
Tian Hongjie: It may be different for everyone, but I think I would prefer my audience to recognize that Tian Hongjie is a very real and three-dimensional person, rather than a format factory.
For example, you think Tian Hongjie is a boy who loves to laugh and is very sunny, but in fact, I am not sunny on all sides. In addition to laughing, Tian Hongjie will also be angry and sad, he is not very sweet, I also have rebellious times, not always obedient. I think this is Tian Hongjie. I hope that everyone can understand me in all directions, it may not be perfect, but I am indeed a three-dimensional person.
Tian Hongjie: For the 2020 Qilian, I would like to say that every experience is a gift. It may be good or bad, but if you look at it after that time, it actually has a certain effect, silently affecting you.
For the 2021 gas link, I would like to say go with the flow, do not insist on what must be done, maybe after 10 years and 20 years and then look back at our current state, there will be different feelings, we all do not know what the end of the story will be, as long as we have tried hard.
⊇ Zhao Ke ⊆
When the chat with Zhao Ke had reached the 5th minute, our hearts were still bottomless.
He fastened his large sweatshirt hat over his head, covered his eyes, and even inside, he wore a black mask tightly, unable to see any expression or expression on his face.
Fortunately, while chatting, he relaxed a little, when he talked about the topic he really wanted to express, he also pulled the mask to the chin position, the voice became powerful and clear, he answered many of the questions we asked very sincerely and directly, and sometimes gave examples or told a specific story to prove the point he put forward, and also asked a question, is this the meaning, do you understand?
When he entered the room, Hu Yutong just happened to pass by, and the two people quickly exchanged the rap that had just been recorded in 30 seconds, which was quite interesting. At the end of the interview, Coco got up and picked up the card we had sent and walked outside, just two steps away, he tilted his head and said: Thank you for your heart.
After saying that, he immediately turned around and left.
<h3>• Dialogue with Zhao Ke</h3>
Talk: After reading the evaluation of your new song by passers-by, how do you feel?
Zhao Ke: I think you are still very polite to us, not only want to show us some real things, but also afraid of hurting us. In fact, many of the evaluations I usually see are sharper than the ones you put to us.
Talk: So you can accept a lot of real voices?
Zhao Ke: I can accept it. Even though I have a lot of friends around me who often give me feedback, I also need to listen to other voices appropriately.
Talk: Do you like the new song "Live in Me"?
Zhao Ke: Compared with the previous songs, this song is a little bit japanese rock, and I will be a little more fresh when I write Rap.
Talk: I heard that you used to get creative inspiration when you used to watch movies, but have you had time to watch movies lately?
Zhao Ke: When I write songs, I usually sit in front of the computer, and then slowly write them. In the past, I would find inspiration by watching movies, but recently I didn't have much time to watch, often I could only watch half of it and had to turn it off, I prefer to watch a movie at once, this kind of watching half of it I will be more uncomfortable.
Talk: Do you want to respond to the comments you don't agree with now?
Zhao Ke: I think there are many objective issues that people can't see, they only judge us from their own point of view, and they don't really understand the situation in the middle. I've also mentioned to the company more than once that I don't have to force Rap on every song, and it's painful to add myself. I have discussed this aspect of songwriting with the company many times, but at present there is no good solution. We are actually trying all kinds of things, but many people don't know the process, and they can easily comment on us.
I used to put up with not arguing too much, but now I don't want to hold back anymore.
Talk: Will these sounds affect your creations? Do you think your work needs to be recognized by passers-by?
Zhao Ke: Of course, I care about the opinions of passers-by, I have also read a lot, and I have read both good and bad evaluations. But now it's the kind of feeling that you see too much, and you don't have too much of a feeling. Anyway, I already knew what I was going to do. I have also set a goal for myself, so I will ignore too many external evaluations for the time being and make a good song.
Tanzi: What do you think is the biggest misconception of the public about the Gas Alliance?
Zhao Ke: The biggest misconception is that there are many things they think we can, but it's actually very difficult. It's easy to tell others what to do from a bystander's perspective. Only when you are in the middle of it does you know how complicated it is. For example, you can lightly suggest that your music can be a little more string sweeping or a little more fancy, but you don't know that these things that don't seem to be much actually need to take a lot of time and energy to improve, but we just don't have the energy and time to enrich it at present, and we can only do what can be made well under limited conditions.
Talk: What do you think you are positioned for now? Musician or entertainer?
Zhao Ke: I think since we are fans, we are idol bands, so it is actually more difficult for us to maintain musicality and take care of the feelings of each fan.
Talk: What level will be considered when creating? Yourself or the market?
Zhao Ke: Of course, first please your ears, how comfortable you are and how to write. Every song I write to Qilian is only taken out when I am satisfied.
Talk: I've said before that joining a band as a Rapper would lose some of my personality, but are you adapting now?
Zhao Ke: Still adapting. To take the simplest example, most of the songs in the Luck League, in fact, my rap part sounds similar. Maybe I'm not capable enough, but in these songs I'm really limited, I'd love to do Trap myself, but it's hard to achieve in bands, and Trap is especially not very friendly to drummers. So these are all processes that require a run-in adaptation.
Talk: So do you think this part of the future can be adapted?
Zhao Ke: I have been constantly discussing with various departments of the company, and there is no solution at present, and I can accept giving up the Rap part if some songs are really not suitable.
Talk: Will you regret coming to this contest at some point?
Zhao Ke: That wouldn't be. There must be gains and losses, and I think that after several months of running-in, the gas link is already in a recovery period.
Talk: Can you explain what the recovery period means?
Zhao Ke: The five of us held a group meeting a while ago, and we talked about a lot of the words that we had not said in our hearts in the past. If there is no such meeting, sometimes everyone does not know what the point of mutual concern is, and after this meeting, I am more confident in going down together.
Talker: So today all of you get together to make songs, and it's also a good start?
Zhao Ke: I think it is very rare, if we can maintain this atmosphere in the future, everyone is going in one direction, and I also want to see what kind of regiment we can make.
Talk: Let's talk about the tour, how did you feel about the recent tour? Which one is the most impressive?
Zhao Ke: It should be the Shenzhen field, because it is the first one, I feel very excited, and I have not performed in Livehouse for a long time. I myself walked out of the Livehouse, and when I go back to performing, I feel very different. It was a little different, different from the previous performance of the deserted, now a lot of audiences on the stage, feel very satisfied.
Talk: It feels like you care a lot about the feelings of people who like you
Zhao Ke: Because I came out to work very early, I was very depressed at that time, there was no good opportunity, and the performance was not particularly good, but under such embarrassing circumstances, I also accumulated a group of fans, and many of those fans at that time still came to see my performance, that feeling was very different, there was a feeling of growing up with me. When I am not mature enough, I can't be considered a professional artist from all aspects, but they are willing to treat me as a professional artist, which is what I have always been grateful for. So I also hope that I can be worthy of them.
Talk: There is no camera today, we are just relaxing chat, what is there that you especially want to say at this moment?
Zhao Ke: Then let me talk about the fans. I wasn't in particularly good shape some time ago, and probably brought emotions directly to the stage. I saw some fans say I shouldn't do this, I didn't quite understand at the time, but now I feel that what they say is reasonable, and they are really trying to adjust themselves, and I also know that as a public figure, you have to be responsible for all your actions.
It is likely that one of my wayward actions will cause many fans to be unhappy. I think that's not good. But sometimes emotions come, and the moment is more uncontrollable.
Talk: One of the words you wrote before was "He also wants not to be changed by this environment." Do you feel like you've been changed by this environment?
Zhao Ke: Of course it has been changed. I don't know what I will become in the end, maybe one day I will become a mature artist, but if I am still a person like now, who dares to say anything and do anything, I don't know if I will hurt everyone again because of my emotions. In fact, I was very afraid of becoming a very mature artist.
Talk: It's good to be yourself, and that's what attracts you
Zhao Ke: In the future, I will learn to restrain some emotions, try not to make everyone feel uncomfortable because of me, and if I am not in the right mood again, I will try to let the people who care about me know the beginning and the end of the matter, and do not let them worry.
Talk: Say a word to the 2020 Gas Alliance, what do you want to say?
Zhao Ke: What I want to say about 2020 is that it may be better if everyone can cheer up earlier
Talk: What do you want to say to the 2021 Qilian?
Zhao Ke: I hope that in the new year, we can really cheer up, I feel that the current qi association is in the recovery period, because we have suffered more injuries in the program, and everyone is slowly recovering. After the last meeting, I think we have experienced an important turning point, and I hope that we can go down well next.

Xiao Li was the first member to be interviewed by us this time, and he got off the plane and dragged his suitcase directly to the company's conference room.
The reception room where we met had a large floor-to-ceiling window, and the sunlight outside the window was very good, and he would look out the window and think when answering some more in-depth questions. When it comes to talking about your favorite Chengdu and food, you will be excited to dance. When he mentioned the No. 11 studio they recorded during the game, he became a little sad again, and he would stare at the recent situation of the studio we showed him, saying that he missed the time when he almost drove out of the race and almost drove out in a group, saying that he was ready to burst into tears at that time, but he did not expect to escape into a dead end. The words were full of pity, but the expression was excited. When asked if he wanted to go back to the studio to see, he shook his head resolutely, saying that it was the starting point for them, that the story of what happened in the summer had come to an end, and that it would be very emo to go back.
After the interview, Xiao Li also revealed that he had recently gained a lot of weight, and felt that he still had to have a little work ethic and needed to put weight loss on the agenda.
<h3>• Dialogue with Lee Yun-kei</h3>
Talk: Can you talk about the feeling of shooting the MV of the new song "Live in Me"?
Li Runqi: I personally like the atmosphere of this song, I was too tired to shoot the MV for a few days, and I didn't sleep much. In the end, I was quite happy to go to the beach to catch the sea, although the process was very tired, we all played hi, because I thought it would be over after the shooting. The MV is more well done than I thought, but unfortunately, it feels like the song hasn't hit the passerbys yet.
Talk: In addition to fans, what kind of group do you want your work to attract?
Li Runqi: I think it is still a young person, because young people are in the stage of struggle with blood and tears, and this stage is confused because of imperfection. We will fall and be frustrated, we will have many flaws, there are many imperfect points, but there are also thousands of possibilities, there are countless imperfect beings like us in the world, such people may have more empathy when they listen to our songs.
Talk: Which of your works would you most like to recommend to the public?
Li Runqi: I would like to recommend a relatively unpopular song, "My Home" written in the program. We rarely perform this song, and I think the significance of this work itself is greater than the meaning of the performance, it is a song that people who understand it naturally understand, and the pain will naturally hurt.
Talk: What is your ideal state of doing group songs?
Li Runqi: I hope that in the process of creation, it is best for us to participate in all of them. It may not be that everyone is involved in writing songs, but when they get together, the atmosphere will be very different, completely different from the state of writing things by one person.
Talk: Can you give me an example?
Li Runqi: For example, the song "Luck Alliance" is that the five of us got together and made this song within 6 hours, when we all gathered around to eat something, and then we began to talk about what we wanted to do, what we wanted, and the first sentence was to chat and come out". Later, I don't know whether I crossed or not (laughs). Anyway, the race is just a starting point, we are still on the way.
Talk: What do you think your identity is in the current state on the road, is it an artist or a musician?
Li Runqi: (Deep thinking) I think I am a musician myself, but the market positioning may be that I am an artist. Because we are really selling some artist-related things, such as dreams, portrait rights, etc., you see that whether it is virtual like dreams, or portrait rights and interests, it is related to artists, so I also recognize the positioning of artists.
Talk: For many people to define you as an "idol boy band", can you accept it? Want to change that?
Li Runqi: If you look at it from the perspective of collocation, it should indeed be considered. After all, we were drafted. I don't think we need to deliberately change the public's impression of us. I think we are pioneers, no matter how to try this road first, there will be a lot of difficulties at the beginning, but we always have to try to know.
Many people mention that the gas band configuration is not traditional enough, but if we can sing like this for 10 years, the public may also get used to the existence of such a type, either we are used to you, or you are used to us.
Talk: But you are not the same as the "idols" in the public's impression, and your self-expression is still relatively free
Li Runqi: I think I actually understand what Tomorrow's Children Season 4 really does, what he is going to do is actually a drama, a TV series starring more than 30 real temperament boys, named after the draft. I can say that these 36 people are too reasonable, they are all unscrupulous, hot-blooded and young, always fighting against the world, and insisting on their own ideas regardless of the consequences.
Talker: So in the second half of the game, you wanted to quit, what was the confrontation?
Li Runqi: The growth cycle of a musician must be more than 3 to 5 years, I am still young, this competition is equivalent to giving me an acceleration package. Everyone's sensitivity to speed is different. People who make rockets don't think rockets are too fast, but for me it's just speeding, not within my comfort zone. So I didn't want to play anymore and wanted to go back and rest.
That's what I thought that day, since there are rules in the game and I'm not ready to go any further, I quit. I sometimes think that at that time, I dared to retreat, quite courageous, but then choose to come back, it is also quite cattle.
Talk: So are you still adapted to the speed of the current pneumatic car?
Li Runqi: Now I think it's OK, that is, the itinerary is too full and there is no time to feel life. This will have some impact on the creation, how can there be an output without input. So when I have time, I will also look at the messages I have in the music platform works area, and I will find inspiration from the stories they share.
Talk: In the current creative process, will you please yourself first or consider the acceptance of the public first?
Li Runqi: For me, I think about myself first, and then I think about the public. First of all, I have to listen to it comfortably, so that I can take it out and share it. In fact, what I usually write is quite close to the public.
Talk: Scenes like "rain" that happen very often are very popular
Li Runqi: Yes, I myself like rainy days, although I feel rainy days less after coming to Beijing. But it doesn't matter, it will always be under.
Talking point: Is the status of champion a little more stressful or more motivated at your creative level?
Li Runqi: The pressure is a little more, but to be a champion, you have to bear more, you have to be scolded, you have to be able to bear the pressure. But from the perspective of creation itself, creation is what I like to do, creation is happy, and the sense of accomplishment after writing a song is very refreshing, so sometimes I forget the pressure in the process of writing songs.
Talk: What are your creative habits? Will you share it after you have written a rough framework, or will you discuss it with the members at the beginning?
Li Runqi: I will tell them what I want to express after I think about the point I want to write at the beginning, see if the members have resonance, and if so, I will continue to write along this point.
Talk: Has there ever been a time when people didn't feel much about the concepts you came up with?
Li Runqi: This has not happened for the time being, and everyone is basically more accepting. It could also be that the pointShooters I throw each time are very much in line with the current state of mind. Like the song "I Think You're Listening" in the competition, I want to give back to the people who support us. Our new song "Please Allow Me to Be Ordinary" is also the mood we have felt recently.
Although we are champions, in fact, we are also ordinary people, small planets in the vast universe, please allow us to be ordinary. If we don't get up after we fall, don't blame us for being good or not. Everyone has different troubles. You may have troubles with study or life, and we have our troubles.
Talk: So please allow the ordinary, is it that you occasionally want to enjoy the rights of ordinary people?
Li Runqi: That's right. Just like before I sent a Weibo apology, I felt that I had done something wrong, and if I didn't sing well, then I should apologize, and if I was wrong, I had to take the initiative to admit my mistake.
Talk: When you posted on Weibo, didn't you worry that the situation would expand more seriously?
Li Runqi: I think this is something that I have identified in my own heart, that is, since I really feel ashamed, then I have to recognize this matter.
Talk: Did you realize the problem after you stepped down or did you find out during the performance?
Li Runqi: In fact, when I sang the first sentence, I probably knew what was going on. Later, I also summed up the situation of this matter, I think every performance is not replicable, there are mistakes can also be regarded as an accumulation of experience, can learn from the experience to do better next time.
Tanzi: So what are the lessons learned this time?
Li Runqi: What I summed up this time is that the next performance must be opened in advance, and when I sing, my voice also needs to remain warm, and I need to sing the whole time. Otherwise, if you open your mouth suddenly, it is easy to turn off the fire (laughs). I used to sing in front of me, and then my voice would keep warm, but that time I didn't sing in front of me, and suddenly I didn't adjust to the best state. For example, you have to turn on the car in advance to warm up the engine before you can run smoothly.
Talk: The comments of the members below your Weibo on that day were all supporting you, what kind of feelings did you see at that time?
Li Runqi: I am very touched, I think this is a kind of protection for me from the outside world. Our Luck Alliance has always been a very strange team, always in an inexplicable time, the group soul came uninvited, nor did it discuss well, and naturally came.
Talk: If you are on the hot search next time, what are the words you want to associate?
Li Runqi: Anyway, don't be ugly. I now see ugly hot searches, even if we didn't perform that day, we are afraid of whether which performance was turned over again.
Talk: What was the happiest and most regrettable thing about the recent tour?
Li Runqi: The happiest thing was the first one, which was the first time we had such a close contact with the audience to do our special performance. A lot of the performances that night were improvised, including my temporary drumming, which was also improvisation, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and free, and I did whatever I wanted, which felt very good.
The most regrettable is probably the cancellation of the Chengdu field, of course, other cancellations are also regrettable, but from a personal point of view, I especially like Chengdu, I think that the city of Chengdu from the airport pick-up fans can feel a different atmosphere, especially like the rhythm of life in the whole city, I hope that there will be opportunities to go to Chengdu to perform in the future.
Talk: Can you read us a passage of the latest memorandum update?
Li Runqi: (Immediately pulled out my mobile phone to open the memo) "I hope that someone can accompany me to eat a bowl of Lanzhou beef noodles in the afternoon sun." Beef doesn't have to be very large, but love is in the soup,"
Talk: So food is also your creative inspiration?
Li Runqi: The starting point of what I wrote at that time was that we could go to the high-end restaurant on the 30th floor to eat steak together, but we could also go downstairs to eat beef noodles for 15 yuan, which was also a very romantic thing. I was eating beef noodles alone that day, and halfway through I wanted to write songs.
Talks: Finally, please say a paragraph about the 2020 and 2021 Gas Alliances
Li Runqi: In the 2020 Gas Transport Alliance, the car has been formed, we are all on the car, and now we are driving on the road.
The 2021 gas luck alliance should encounter a lot of bends, a lot of bumps, a lot of speed bumps, but this is not a problem, as long as we continue to drive, there must be hope.
Talk: Where do you hope the end of this road will go?
Li Runqi: It doesn't matter where the finish line is, what matters is that the car is always on the road.
⊇ Ma Zhe ⊆
Ma Zhe's deepest impression was in the finals in Wuxi, where the champion band had to conduct a round of media interviews. That day I asked a question: Winter Writing Songs and Summer Tour, what are your plans for spring and fall? Ma Zhe was the last to take the microphone and said seven words: Spring sleepy and autumn fatigue, have to sleep.
This answer made all the media teachers at the scene smile easily, and many people praised this young man as a bit interesting.
In this chat, Ma Zhe was the shortest person to communicate with us. This is actually what we expected, Ma Zhe is a particularly simple person, throw him any questions, he will answer the answer that came out of his head in the first second after receiving this question, so our dialogue is straight to the ball, short and capable.
Man knows enough, this is Ma Zhe's philosophy of life.
<h3>• Dialogue with Ma Zhe</h3>
Talk: What is the most impressive content of the passers-by's evaluation of you in the video?
Ma Zhe: I think it's a question of singing and parting, which is actually not something we can decide for ourselves, and I don't want to sing every song. Maybe we're special. It's not quite the same as the traditional band model. But I think each song should be more suitable for who sings and who will sing it.
Talking: At the beginning of the competition, you entered the qilian with the mentality of wanting to sing, and now the reason for the adjustment of mentality?
Ma Zhe: To be honest, in fact, a big reason for the air intake at that time was that I didn't want to be eliminated, and then after coming in, I felt that everyone needed to make some changes, sacrifice something, so I hope that I can improve in the future in the instrument.
Talk: Do you think your songs need to be recognized by passers-by?
Ma Zhe: I think it is needed. Popularity and traffic are nothing, maybe like you today, tomorrow will like others, but the work is a real thing.
Talk: What is the most comfortable song to perform at the moment?
Ma Zhe: "My home", because I am not responsible for singing this song, just play my instrument well.
Talk: Are you nervous about singing now?
Ma Zhe: If it wasn't for the song I chose myself, I might be nervous. If I sing what I like, it's fine.
Talk: Are there any differences between you and the music you thought before?
Ma Zhe: I haven't thought about these things before, I think it would be better to have a little more time, like today the five of us came to record this thing at the same time, it's quite band-like.
Tanzi: Do you think you are an artist or a musician now?
Ma Zhe: We want to be musicians ourselves, but more people should think of us as artists.
Talk: What do you think is the most essential difference between a musician and an artist?
Ma Zhe: Musicians speak by strength. You see we may now show that there are hundreds of thousands of millions of fans, but the really powerful teachers, especially the cattle arrangers or composers composers, they may only have tens of thousands of fans, no one pays attention to them, but people are capable.
Talk: Are you in a state of confidence now?
Ma Zhe: I don't know later, and then now I'm quite satisfied.
Talk: Did you sing happily on tour?
Ma Zhe: It's quite happy, livehouse is not like this, to play with the audience, and it is not a live broadcast, just play. I performed in livehouse in college, so I still have a feeling.
Talk: Which one is the most impressive?
Ma Zhe: The Shanghai field was very happy. Because Shenzhen singing Guangzhou singing is when I sing "How do you want us to be", Little Bear Old Hu Zhao Ke Xiao Li They did not sing, they were next to them, the following fans are shouting at them, I was a little embarrassed, Shanghai field I said, the following is my singing, everyone gives me some face, and then the stage is still quite cooperative with me, the atmosphere was very good at that time.
Talk: Is there anything regrettable about the tour?
Ma Zhe: One is that there is no male audience in the audience (laughs), and when I know the song list earlier, I will report a few more songs, instead of singing the same every scene, or hope to bring you a different experience.
Talk: What other song do you want to sing?
Ma Zhe: I want to sing "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", the kind that can be sung in a big chorus. Now when we sing, everyone is holding up their mobile phones and light signs, and I hope that everyone will put their mobile phones down and sing with us and really enjoy the atmosphere.
Talk: The most attractive part of the scene is that there can be direct communication on and off the stage
Ma Zhe: Yes, since you all came to see us perform live, and you still held your mobile phone instead of interacting directly, I think it is a pity.
Tanzi: What do you think of your relationship with your fans? Do you want to grow up with them or do you want to be their role model?
Ma Zhe: I can't be their role model, and I'm not suitable to be an example.
Talk: You can bring happiness to everyone, and it is also your skill to make people happy, isn't it?
Ma Zhe: It's good to be happy, anyway, happy is also a day, sad is also a day.
Talk: If you hadn't been on the show, if you hadn't formed a band, what would you be doing now?
Ma Zhe: Look for a job, go to work.
Talk: Do you like the job you're looking for now?
Ma Zhe: Like, I don't think I regret it, it's too wise to participate in this show.
Talk: Maybe it's harder to find a job?
Ma Zhe: Yeah, there's some dissatisfaction right now. Man is what you get, you know enough.
Talk: Will your family think you're out of business now?
Ma Zhe: They were very skeptical at first, and they wanted me to take the civil service examination. Last winter I quarreled with my father, when there was a great uncle in the family, I was not very familiar with him, a strong persuasion said that you take the civil service examination, said you see your family is still in a small county, and then you go home to be a petty official, a few thousand yuan a month. Then I quarreled with him, and I said I don't go to graduate school, I don't take the civil service exam, and now I'm going to go and I have my own plan.
Talk: Did their thinking change when they came home a while ago?
Ma Zhe: I didn't see the grandpa, my grandparents were very happy. They didn't know about the Children of Tomorrow show, so I said Grandpa I was going to a show, which was the kind of Walk of Fame. As soon as he heard the Avenue of Stars, Oh that knows, go ahead, that's it.
Talk: You can show your grandparents pictures of you walking the red carpet.
Ma Zhe: Do you know why I walk the red carpet and laugh all the time? The five of us felt like we were always pretending to be serious, and we were telling ourselves that I was going to keep my manners as an artist, and I thought that was particularly funny. Then the reporter asked me questions, and I couldn't answer anything.
Talk: Your answer to the question is quite interesting, very straight.
Ma Zhe: Sometimes that kind of interview is too serious, you have to say something particularly official, I think I can't say it, I can only nag.
Ma Zhe: In 2020, let's get through it first, and then we will stick to it in 2021.
【Afterword】
Luck has seen it many times on various occasions, and it is the first time that such a direct and in-depth dialogue has been held, thanks to the trust of the five members and the brokerage team.
Many of the questions are just their real reactions at the moment, and the purpose of our truthful dialogue is to hope that everyone will know and encourage this young band more. They may not be what you think a band should be, but as they say, the peculiarities of their team are destined to take a path that no one else has taken. This has just begun, and who knows what tomorrow will look like?
