From "rock pioneers" to prison "labor prisoners." "Slap Mei Ting and make Jackie Chan apologize. After a good singer wandered around the rivers and lakes for many years, he was imprisoned, but after many years of "behind bars" and re-established himself, he suffered another accident.
What is this Zang Tianshuo, who is ambiguous with a generation of goddesses Zhou Hai and makes all "big guys" nod and bow their heads?
How did he take himself step by step from heaven to hell?
First, the legendary life of a rock pioneer
Zang Tianshuo was born in 1964 and is a standard Beijing native. The family is well-off and has been exposed to various interests and hobbies since childhood. Unlike many post-80s children, boys have not liked to study since they were young, but love music.
In 1983, Zang Tianshuo, who was still in college, and a few like-minded friends formed the band "Tumbler", which became a pioneer of Chinese rock music.
With more than ten years of rock career, Zang Tianshuo has accumulated rich stage experience. In 1995, Zang Tianshuo launched his masterpiece "Friend", which swept the country as soon as it was released, and Zang Tianshuo also became famous in one fell swoop, known as "Big Brother".
"Friends" may express brotherhood or helpless parting, and everyone will find their own feelings from this song. But for Zang Tianshuo, "Friends" not only brings success, but also means defeat.
Zang Tianshuo is different from the rock singer in the eyes of ordinary people, he does not have long hair and a cold attitude, but exudes a quack temperament. His strong figure and sharp eyes made him look extremely strong. And his music is not about love, but about life, society and friendship. Such a singer with a fierce personality and often "talking about rivers and lakes" in life has aroused the interest of many people.
Zang Tianshuo's success came violently but shortly, while his defeat was long-term. After "Friend" became popular all over the country, he was put on the throne of popular singer and became a new star in the Chinese music scene at that time.
However, as with its sudden success, its popularity has declined just as rapidly. After becoming a household name, the public began to get tired of this singer who once fascinated them, the novelty faded, and the popularity naturally ceased to be.
But Zang Tianshuo really went to defeat because of his uncontrollable personality. Drunk fights, countless scandals, and messing with relationships between men and women, these scandals quickly made his image collapse. More importantly, Zang Tianshuo likes to wander the rivers and lakes and befriends a group of bad people as younger brothers.
Although it expands its power, it also brings endless trouble to itself. Lü Liangwei once warned him to leave his ex-wife Zhou Haimei, and was retaliated by Zang Tianshuo.
It was this incident that began to push him completely into defeat and gradually lose his reputation.
Second, smashed the wrong person, Zang Tianshuo was retaliated
In 2004, Liu Jialiang, a newly debuted Internet singer, planned to hold a fan meeting in Beijing. Preparations were in full swing, but at the last minute they encountered unexpected obstacles.
On the eve of the event, a group of people suddenly rushed into the venue and smashed all the sound equipment. Everyone also said to Liu Jialiang viciously: "You don't use Zang Ye's audio equipment, and you still want to sing in Beijing?" Who gave you the guts. ”
At this moment, Liu Jialiang was completely panicked. He quickly called his distant cousin Mei Ting for help. As a big sister in the film and television industry at that time, the woman immediately contacted Zang Tianshuo after learning the situation and asked to meet to talk about the matter.
That night, Zang Tianshuo took his subordinate Lu Changchun to a nightclub in Beijing. After three rounds of drinking, Mei Ting opened the door and asked Zang Tianshuo: "Forget about the money, but the equipment and people that can be smashed, you have to give an explanation!" ”
Zang Tianshuo replied proudly, "I'm teaching him what are the rules of the rivers and lakes." ”
During his dispute, the man slapped Mei Ting twice. These two slaps directly knocked the woman in place. In the end, relying on Na Ying's adjustment, Mei Ting was able to leave safely.
Mei Ting slammed the door and left, and this "earth snake" also led people away. However, just a few days later, the man received a phone call asking him to meet him in the "888" private room of the "Heaven on Earth" nightclub.
Pushing open the door of the private room, I saw two men in suits sitting inside, and three tall and powerful men standing behind the sofa. Although the number of the other party is small, a hint of foreboding emerges in his heart.
He walked slowly to the sofa and raised his eyes to look at the two sitting opposite each other: "Are you looking for me?" What's the matter? ”
The man surnamed Zhou spoke, "I am looking for you just to ask you about smashing equipment and hitting Mei Ting." ”
Zang Tianshuo immediately understood that this was a woman looking for someone to take revenge!
Mei Ting's words were really unexpected to Zang Tianshuo. He thought that the other party would stop and obediently pay the protection fee to apologize to himself. Say you can't take advantage of it and do some "adult games." ”
But he didn't expect that the other party would find a figure with a background to manipulate him, and the calm attitude of the man surnamed Zhou made Zang Tianshuo feel a chill, as if he was just a jumping beam clown in his eyes.
Faced with such a situation, Zang Tianshuo was inevitably a little flustered. He knew that Mei Ting's move was completely unexpected to him, and made him realize that in this city, there were still so many characters who did not follow his "rules". He began to realize that his coercive tactics no longer seemed to be as effective as they once were.
After a beating, this "arrogant" man honestly apologized and compensated Mei Ting. However, such arrogant behavior is not only this time. In addition to Mei Ting, even Jackie Chan has been nakedly threatened by the other party.
Third, the head snake in the capital meets the strong hand
In 2003, Hong Kong film and television giants Yang Shoucheng and Jackie Chan came to Beijing to film, intending to hold a press conference.
However, their actions aroused the displeasure of Zang Tianshuo, a local snake in Beijing, because in his view, whoever wants to develop a career in his own territory must honor him with filial piety. So, Zang Tianshuo led people to find Yang Shoucheng and asked them to hand over the movie dividends for protection.
Faced with such a malicious threat, Yang Shoucheng also came up angry. As the boss of the emperor and the head of the Hong Kong side, he has always disdained to deal with these so-called "land snakes".
Although Yang Shoucheng is not yet a single-handed cover in Hong Kong, his power is enough to attract attention. Even Xiang Huaqiang of Xinyi An saw him and had to give three points of courtesy.
And Zang Tianshuo, the head snake, dared to threaten him so openly, which was tantamount to pulling out the whiskers of a tiger. Although Yang Shoucheng was angry, the strong winds and waves he had seen for many years made him secretly suppress the anger in his heart.
After sending him away, an opportunity to teach him a lesson was planned.
Subsequently, Yang Shoucheng ordered his subordinates to teach the so-called Zang Ye a hard lesson, and the bar he opened was also smashed.
Yang Shoucheng became famous in the mainland, and the emperor completely became famous. Later, because of his arrogant personality, he offended Kadai, who was "powerful" at that time, and was severely repaired.
It can be said that Zang Tianshuo's confrontation with the emperor and Kadai fully demonstrated his strong power and clever means, but in the face of the real strong, his majesty is difficult to fully exert after all.
He seems accustomed to running rampant in Beijing with his own power, but since offending the emperor and Kadai, two difficult figures to deal with, his momentum seems to be no longer the same as before.
His arrogant behavior again and again sent him to prison in the following days.
Fourth, the trajectory of life: the vicissitudes of rock musician Zang Tianshuo
In 2003, that was the first time a man came to Langfang, Hebei Province, and after becoming popular, he partnered with a friend to open a bar called "Friends". Since the partners own 70% of the shares, Zang Tianshuo has the venue, but he has no right to speak.
During the partnership, the man found that the partners' capital contributions were all empty promises, the two sides broke up, the partners changed hands and sold their shares, and opened the "heatwave" bar next door, becoming a bitter rival.
The bigger and bigger the "gray business," it makes men more arrogant.
In 2009, people from two bars clashed, and a fight broke out with hundreds of people. After a flurry of clubs, knives and guns, he finally lost his life.
Afterwards, Zang Tianshuo was sentenced to 6 years in prison for gathering crowds to fight.
After being imprisoned, Zang Tianshuo refused visits from friends. He didn't want people to see his downfall, and he regretted that he blindly believed those foolish friends, which led to jail.
In his recollections, in prison, more than a dozen people were crammed into a cell, and even to go to the toilet in front of everyone, life was extremely difficult. But at this time, he had long lost the arrogance of the "big brother" at that time, but was really reflecting on why he fell to such a point.
In the process of reflection, men are also not passive and lazy. Instead, he began to practice calligraphy to make himself mature and restrained. In addition to this, he actively participates in propaganda in prisons.
He also performed well and was released a year and a half early.
In 2011, Zang Tianshuo was released from prison, and he was already a new person. No longer in bars, once "unhappy to see people", to now deal with people cautiously, less affectionate.
Instead of making some so-called "friends", he spends all his time with his family, spending his wife of 6 years with his wife of 6 years and taking his children out to play.
I thought I would spend the second half of my life so peacefully, but the sky did not go as expected. In 2018, cancer befell this "rehabilitated" man.
However, he did not tell anyone about his condition, and just treated silently in the hospital alone.
Before he died, he saw his wife alone, because he didn't want anyone to see him dying. On September 28, 2018, Zang Tianshuo, accompanied by his wife, still did not survive the disease and passed away safely.
It ended his vigorous but dramatic life.
Fifth, the author believes
Zang Tianshuo had a lifelong love-hate, and his efforts to his friends failed to pay off as they deserved, but he found the true meaning of life in his later years. The man came with a rock 'n' roll craze, was surrounded by friends, and left with only his wife.
For his family, he can't wait to spend all his time with him, but he still can't accompany his children to grow up, which should be his biggest regret in this life.
Zang Tianshuo used his life to interpret the vicissitudes of an ordinary person's growth in real society. He came with idealism, he went realistically and soberly, and the true meaning of life changed from a new friend to the ultimate family. Perhaps, that's what life teaches us, right.
In fact, he could have shined in the spotlight with his rock talent, but in the end he ruined his future because of his greed.
Whether it is the fall or the prodigal son turning back, it can only be said that Zang Tianshuo's life is self-inflicted.
