Dahe Newspaper Dahe client reporter Zhang Congbo intern Yan Tongjing
"Zhengzhou is too familiar to me, this is a city that we have a lot of common memories." On the evening of October 12, Zhang Xiaohou, a good sister band, came to Zhengzhou Sisyphus Bookstore with the new book "Then" and accepted an exclusive interview with the reporter of Dahe Newspaper and Dahe client.
2019 is the ninth year of the debut of the good sister Zhang Xiaohou, from an engineering cost engineer to now becoming a member of a phenomenon-level music group, Zhang Xiaohou through a "then" to express the bittersweet and bittersweet of these years, love and tears intertwined.
In the memories of the Good Sister Band, Zhengzhou is a city that cannot be avoided. In the new book, Zhang Xiaohou recalls the beauty of Zhengzhou through an article "About Zhengzhou...".
He said that in the past performances, Zhengzhou is an important stop, the debut of the first year to Zhengzhou tour, was moved by the enthusiasm of Zhengzhou people, and later every time to Zhengzhou performance, you can feel the warmth of Zhengzhou, but also tasted braised noodles, peppery soup and other delicacies.
◆ In the past few years, more often than not, I have been wrapped up in emotions
In the past decade, the good sister has gone from scratch, from being nameless to singing throughout the country. Zhang Xiaohou tells the story of him in the book one by one, who plucked up the courage to leave his post, traveled to Hangzhou and Nanjing, and then went north to seek a breakthrough; Tell how to meet Qin Hao, form a good sister, create a "Hello Sister" radio station, and open the concert into the 10,000-person stadium.
"Looking back on the past few years now, it is too complex, it seems to be always in a state of chaos, and more often it is actually wrapped up in emotions." In fact, many of your work does not seem to be decided by you, but it seems that you decide again, what is the source of your pain and your entanglements, as if it has nothing to do with others, as if it has something to do with others, that is, it is a chaotic state without time precipitation. In the face of the Dahe Newspaper and the Dahe client reporter, Zhang Xiaohou admitted his heart.
This year, on the other hand, it is in an efficient and intensive state of output, with new books being published and new music EPs also coming to the audience. Zhang Xiaohou said: "Just have time to sort out and precipitate, I found that when emotions are not helpful to solve the problem, I will first face emotions, calm down emotions, sort out emotions, let yourself calm down, and then solve problems and promote the progress of things, which is one of my biggest gains this year." ”
Over the years, Zhang Xiaohou will also record some experiences and feelings sporadically in words. However, when he went to look at the words left on social networks in the process of creating a new book, the kind of childish innocence and youthful hesitation that he had once been a teenager also made him a little embarrassed. He said bluntly: "What is more terrible than facing yourself is facing the words you have written." ”
As Zhang Xiaohou's first growth essay, "Then" records the beauty and hardships of the past decade. To him, the book is more of a souvenir of time. "It's a growth record, you can't come up and think about the problem very thoroughly, I think to bring the appearance of a teenager to this book, but also a good account of yourself." 」
◆ Compared to music, writing books is more naked
The original intention of the creation of "Then" came from the invitation of the publishing house.
At first, Zhang Xiaohou had timidity, "Writing a book is a very serious thing, expressed in words, I have doubts about myself, just like when we first made music, I was not sure to do it, but bravely did the first song, and later more and more experience told me that in fact, you can express it in such a way, writing a book is like a challenge, it is a kind of thing full of excitement and expectation."
Zhang Xiaohou knew that he could not write any particularly thought-provoking philosophy, and he decided to express himself with enough sincerity, "I am naked to show myself to everyone."
Relying on a good memory, singing "the past can only be recalled", Zhang Xiaohou began to wipe the dust of time and wrote down the past clearly. However, as a published reading, Zhang Xiaohou still hopes to do his best, and when he encounters a bottleneck when writing, he will ask his friends liu tong and Ding Ding Zhang to ask for advice from his friends of young literary writers around him.
In the end, he found that it was important to find a sense of language, and he was inspired by Li Juan's "My Altay", "only by finding a sense of language can you express yourself more smoothly and naturally, and let the reader experience this feeling."
What is the biggest difference between music creation and writing? Zhang Xiaohou said: "When you write songs, you are always writing yourself, but the people who listen to the songs are also listening to themselves, that is, you have found a connection point for emotional resonance." Writing a book is all about dissecting myself and saying, look, I'm such a person, these are two ways of communicating, and I think it's more naked to write a book to tell others about this. ”
In his opinion, the words are heavier and the music is freer. "The emotions carried by words have a heavy side, and although I may sometimes write humorous feelings in the article, the concert gives everyone a multi-angle understanding, more freedom, and maybe in the sad song will hear something different." 」
◆ The new book tells about the memories of Zhengzhou and likes the warmth of Zhengzhou
"Then" has a total of 40 articles, with "Hello Sister", "Ordinary Mail", "The Past Can Only Be Recalled", and "A Kind of Annual Ring" to show Zhang Xiaohou's path from a science and engineering man in a cubicle to become a well-known musician step by step.
As for the title of the book "then", Zhang Xiaohou explained that many people like to use the conjunction "then", "because when you have been talking, you don't know what the next sentence will say, a lot of it is that the subconscious mind has been expressing, when you are stuck or do not think about what the next sentence is, everyone unconsciously uses the word 'then' to pause the cache slightly, so 'then' is a positive feeling and attitude towards the past, and it is also a small comma for the past. ”
In the new book, Zhang Xiaohou wrote an article "About Zhengzhou...", recalling an experience of performing at Zhengzhou 7 Live House. That time, the partner Qin Hao excitedly asked for some wine, so that it affected the second half of the performance, and the good sister band agreed with the audience to make up a concert for free after the ticket stub.
Zhang Xiaohou recalled: "It was really a little too excited, and being too excited in the performance was actually not a safe behavior, mainly because the atmosphere of the Zhengzhou performance was very relaxed and free at that time. ”
The city of Zhengzhou has a small and unique memory. In the first year, he came to Zhengzhou to tour and felt the enthusiasm of Zhengzhou. Zhengzhou musician Liu Zifu is his good friend, every time he comes to Zhengzhou, he will take him to Taste Food in Zhengzhou and feel the fireworks of the city.
He said: "Zhengzhou I am too familiar with, braised noodles, peppery soup and other delicacies are very fond of, I like the warmth of Zhengzhou, like to sing with friends open to drink and chat, the most memorable is a performance because of traffic jams and motorcycles to catch the performance." ”
