Zhou Xiaoou
preface
In the entertainment industry with a hundred flowers, there are always a few "little brine eggs" that catch people's attention, when it comes to "brine egg" artists, everyone may think of Ge You of "Ge You paralysis", Xu Zheng of "extremely smart", and Zhang Weijian of "beautiful man", then will you think of "rock old cannon" Zhou Xiaoou?
As the soul lead singer of the former Zero Point Band, Zhou Xiaoou shook the entire music scene as soon as he spoke, and he once led the band to the altar of the rock industry with the song "Love Me or Not", with a shiny brain door with the "halo" that countless people envy.
Zhou Xiaoou
In the nineties, vigorous and passionate rock music stirred up waves in the long-quiet moon altar on the mainland, and batches of rock "giant crocodiles" were born, Dou Wei, known as the "rock fairy", the old wolf of the "originator of folk songs", Zheng Jun of "British style", etc., grabbed a large handful and took out a youth memory of a generation at random.
Dou Wei, Old Wolf, Zheng Jun
But in this heyday of rock music, Zhou Xiaoou announced his retirement from the music scene, and resolutely switched to film and television dramas and became a nameless "little egg".
Zhou Xiaoou
When he first stepped into the film and television industry, Zhou Xiaoou was still just a small transparent, playing the marginal role of Xiao Wu Xiaoliu, many fans were sorry for him to beat his chest, all thought that "don't take porcelain work without that diamond don't take porcelain work", some netizens scolded him at that time for scolding him miserably for "treachery, white-eyed wolf", and even was rumored to be imprisoned for breaking the law.
Zhou Xiaoou
Under such great pressure, Zhou Xiaoou still has no fear to continue to go his own way, and there are still some people who do not believe that a rock star can make waves in the entertainment industry.
So did this Zhou Xiaoou, who is willing to be a "transparent little egg" in the entertainment industry, choose the wrong "road"?
"The Birth of a Child of Music"
Zhou Xiaoou's father is engaged in the dubbing industry with the title of "language with a thousand faces", and he can also contact music every day, and his mother is a national cadre, so his family is quite wealthy, Zhou Xiaoou's father is extremely strict with him, whether it is academic or life, he personally supervises.
And Zhou Xiaoou has been interested in music since he was a child, so Zhou's father adhered to the idea of "this is all for your good", and did not let him be idle since he was a child, and in his spare time after completing his studies, he also had to take violin and trumpet musical instrument lessons.
However, Zhou Xiaoou is also an obedient and good child, completing his homework early and waiting for his father to lead him to musical instrument lessons, he is the "child of others" in the words of his parents, his sense of musicality is relatively strong, and he likes music more and more under the praise of the teacher.
His childhood was spent under the influence of music, and when the boy reached the rebellious period in middle school, Zhou Xiaoou came into contact with rock music, and the "beast" in his heart, which has always been quiet, seemed to be aroused.
But Zhou's father didn't want his son to touch rock music, and when he found out that Zhou Xiaoou was listening to this kind of music, he was furious: "Do you take my words as a deaf ear!" Saying that, he tore up the tape and threw it into the trash, and Zhou Xiaoou's anger also came up: "Why don't you let me listen!" What's wrong with rock music! I love it! ”
After speaking, he snatched the door out, leaving Father Zhou trembling and pointing at Zhou Xiaoou who ran away, "Rebel son!" If you have the ability, you will never come back! Zhou Xiaoou was very stubborn at this moment, and stayed in his classmates for five days before being carried home by Father Zhou's ears.
The grudge between father and son became more and more intense, this person also wondered that the more his parents objected to what he wanted to do, he couldn't stand his father's control and resolutely ran away from home and entered the martial arts school, and here he met Wu Jing, who was in the future fire, and the two met and became good friends in the martial arts school, which also laid the groundwork for him to switch to the entertainment industry.
"Everything starts from scratch"
Zhou Xiaoou is not afraid of hardship, staying in the martial arts school for several years, but he did not give up his rock dream, after graduation he decided to travel the world, collect music materials from all over the world, he came to Inner Mongolia to enjoy the local customs, riding a horse to run with the wind during the day, listening to folk songs at night and quietly falling asleep.
Zhou Xiaoou continued to collect wind on this day, a burst of passionate music came from the front, a burst of rhythmic notes hit his heart, the rough national melody made Zhou Xiaoou stop, a group of young people with long hair playing music there, each with their own instrument to play.
Zhou Xiaoou, who was immersed in music, had an idea quietly germinating in his heart, and after the end, he took the initiative to get to know these people, and people who played music would always have topics to talk about, and in the past few days in Mongolia, they talked freely and talked about wine, and took advantage of the strength of the wine Zhou Xiaoou to say what was in his heart.
"Hiccup. Brothers, I have an idea that I don't know whether to talk about it or not", "Talk! Don't twist and pinch, big old men! The four people said boldly, "Those who play music should boldly pursue their dreams!" Let's just form a band and rush to the music scene! Zhou Xiaoou stood up excitedly, "Just do it!" Hit the music scene together! ”
The five people decided to form a band at the wine table, they all took this matter to heart, and the other four elected Zhou Xiaoou as the lead singer of the band, and after the division of labor, they began to name the band "What are we called?" Domineering? ”
"The Leopards! As soon as I heard it, there was momentum", "You are not as good as a tiger", the other four team members were almost talking about the domineering animals in the zoo over there, Wang Xiaoou was thinking on the side, he suddenly said: "I think we should be low-key and subtle, and come up with a name that does not forget the original meaning of the big meaning."
At this time, a group of cows and sheep walked by, and a string of pleasant ringtones sounded, and Zhou Xiaoou clapped his hands sharply: "That's right!" It's called Zero Point! "What's the point?" The other four asked with a confused look, "Everything starts from scratch, and now pursuing music is our original intention!" ”
Five people clasped their fists and high-fived, shouting "Band Zero!" Zero Band! Thus Chinese mainland a pop-rock band was born here, and after 2 years of climbing, they came to prominence in 1996 with the album "Don't Get Me Wrong".
The following year, a song sung by Zhou Xiaoou "Love Me or Not Love Me" directly led the band to the altar of the rock industry, and the record sales ranked first in the Chinese record sales chart, setting off a rock craze for a while, and they released three albums such as "Every Night Every Day", "More and More", and "Wind and Thunder" in the following years.
"Lost in the beginning"
But after people become popular, they will be blinded by interests, and the other four members of the band Zero began to float, not only playing big names on fans but also drinking all day leading to pigeons at the show, and also had various scandals with rumors, and even two teammates touched the law.
Watching his former teammates become like this one by one, Zhou Xiaoou felt cold, the contradictions between the five people are getting bigger and bigger, not to mention making music, normal chatting can be stormy, it has been hard-won to release these albums in 14 years, and the band's bright appearance is actually the end of the crossbow.
At that time, Zhou Xiaoou was already married and had children, and it was impossible to spend time with a band that saw no hope, so he announced his retirement from the band Zero in 2008.
And the two teammates who violated the law were sanctioned, and the two remaining members of the Zero Band also announced their disbandment, and the "Zero Band" really lived up to its name this time, and it was indeed everything to zero.
Zhou Xiaoou's retreat directly carried the insult of "ungrateful", and for a while all the negative voices fell on him, Zhou Xiaoou was affected but life had to go on, and he still did not forget his musical dream when he just retired.
In order to live, he took on commercial performances while filming, used the songs of the Zero Point Band to perform, and made a lot of money, which made the teammates who were still in the Zero Point Band red-eyed, so he sued Zhou Xiaoou in the name of the Zero Point Band, saying that he used the name of the band to make money without consent, and let him compensate 5 million.
Cold heart, absolute cold heart, was sued to court by a former teammate with a petition, no one can accept it, during that time Zhou Xiaoou can be described as not sleeping well, eating badly, hearing music will think of this kind of bad things.
"Gold shines everywhere"
This next week, Xiaoou stopped singing at all, and began to run tricks, because his appearance and not from a professional background, he can only take on the role of some bad people and marginal characters, which greatly reduces the scope of his acting, but he painstakingly studies the personality characteristics of each character without complaint, and interprets the role with his own unique understanding.
Wu Jing, as his hair boy, will definitely pull him, so Zhou Xiaoou received his call: "Buddy, I have a movie to shoot, leave you a role, the scene is very heavy second only to the male protagonist", Zhou Xiaoou listened to it full of joy and did not forget to praise "Thank you good brother, hard to have you".
Until Zhou Xiaoou entered the crew, he found that he was "deceived", he played a headshot by Wu Jing's role, and he was headshot when he just came to play This is indeed a "good brother", Zhou Xiaoou starred in "Wolf Warrior" as Ni Dahong's younger brother, and he suffered old crimes during filming.
The shiny brain shell because there is no hair protection, when installing blood packs and explosion points frequently go abroad, Zhou Xiaoou in order to perfect the effect, was exploded 7 times, although there are not many scenes, but this role successfully impressed the audience under his interpretation.
He left many very classic roles on the screen with his sub-bald head, and although Ma Bold played in "Dragon Ridge Labyrinth" is a murderous murderer, he speaks a dialect "wisdom with ideas" with ruthlessness, and his excellent acting skills make the audience praise.
Later, in the hit drama "Sweeping Black Storm", he played the underworld big brother Chen Jianbo, and his acting skills were comfortable among many old drama bones, "eating hot pot is for that mouthful of sugar and garlic" A villain plus comedy effect successfully made him out of the circle.
Now 53-year-old Zhou Xiaoou has broken out of his own world in film and television dramas, but the dream in his heart has not yet been extinguished, and he has participated in several singing programs, especially "I'm still young, I'm still young" with Zhang Bichen, and his deep voice is magnetic and charming.
Zhou Xiaoou sang on CCTV with a voice, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he only temporarily put down the music and did not abandon the music, and the facts also proved that the "rock old gun" is not called in vain.
"Lonely old rock bigwig"
For the current situation of the rock bigwigs in the past, in fact, Zhou Xiaoou is much better than them, Dou Wei as a rock "ceiling" level figure "landless", "dark night", "black dream", "senior animals", "oh, well" and other songs, each capital is the degree of popularity.
"Sven's rogue, quiet rock" made him vividly reflected, the queen Faye Wong was his suitor, and even for him to quit the music scene for a while, the two went to marriage and gave birth to daughter Dou Jingtong, but the love between the two did not go very long.
Faye Wong's career is in the rising stage, the two are busy and have no time to warm up, and then Dou Wei cheated, Faye Wong couldn't tolerate sand in her eyes, so she resolutely divorced him, and later Faye Wong's fame became more and more, and more and more people couldn't get used to Dou Wei.
His situation is getting more and more difficult, no one wants to invite a bad singer, no matter how brilliant he was before, under the torture of the environment, Dou Wei lost his spirited appearance, and now the balding middle-aged uncle finally has a chance to perform, and the audience in the audience is expecting him to sing a song "Black Dream".
Dou Wei
But Dou Wei either played the piano or beat the drum on stage, did not say a word during the whole process, and played a song "Golden Curse" for a full fifty minutes, leaving only the unknown Dou Wei and a confused audience.
Dou Wei
Perhaps Dou Wei's era has passed, but the brilliance he created will never disappear, just like the "father of folk songs" old wolf, the ballad sounded to evoke the youth of countless people, with a song "You at the same table" has become a campus pop song.
He is passionate about making his own music, such as "The Brother Who Slept on My Top Bunk", "Want to Sing Me to You", "Love in the Dust" and so on.
Even though few people listen to his songs now, his influence cannot be underestimated, and he also loves and pursues his music in his own way.
epilogue
Zhou Xiaoou has spent his life in the sound of "not being recognized", others think that he can't do rock music, but he stands at the peak of the music industry and looks down, some people say that he can't act, but he has made a splash in film and television dramas and gained a batch of fans, and some people say that he forgot his original intention and gave up music, but he took action to "slap those people in the face".
