In 2004, a song "Two Butterflies" made Pang Long popular overnight,
The song has been downloaded more than 10 million times, and the copyright and performance revenue have exceeded 200 million.
The unknown Pang Long became the hottest male singer in China.
But controversy ensued, and the slobber song, too earthy, and too low were all his labels.
After the storm, Pang Long no longer sang this song,
Disappearing from the music scene, where has he gone over the years?
In 1971, Pang Long was born in Fuxin, Liaoning Province, to a miner's family.
The father worked in the mines, and the mother did not have a fixed occupation,
Pang Long also has three older sisters, and he is the only son.
When he was born, his father was 35 years old, although he was not an old man.
But the joy of having a son is overflowing with words,
He gave Pang Long a nickname, 'Lao Xizi', which was the happiest thing for the whole family.
However, the pressure of a family of six fell on the father alone,
Mother sewing and mending, helping others mend car tires, can not make much money,
The family's life is very poor,
In Pang Long's impression, he never had enough to eat when he was a child.
And at that time he never realized his singing talent,
Until junior high school, he played in the coal mine and sang while walking.
The coal mine owner heard his singing and greatly appreciated him,
He was also advised to go to the town's song hall and sing to make money.
Pang Long did not understand at that time, he went home to discuss with his father,
His father asked him to try it, and the interview was really passed.
Singing every night can earn three bucks.
At that time, the coal mining industry in my hometown was in decline, and many young people were going out to work.
The business of the town's song halls and dance halls is not good,
These three dollars are a good income, and they can also subsidize the family.
The experience of fans singing unexpectedly opened the door to the music world of Pang Long,
Began to be deeply addicted to the charm of music can not extricate themselves,
He grinded his father for a long time before he finally bought a guitar.
However, after having a guitar, Pang Long held the guitar every day to study,
Leaving learning behind, grades began to plummet,
In the end, you can only take the exam for an ordinary worker,
When he came out, he had to die the same as his father.
Originally, the father hoped that his son could read to change his fate and get ahead.
As a result, seeing that his son was so angry, he was so angry that he threw the guitar off the sixth floor.
But the music has taken root deeply in Pang Long's heart.
In 1988, 17-year-old Pang Long graduated from vocational high school.
He studied as a builder, hanging line, wall building, etc.
After graduation, he was assigned to a construction site as a skilled worker.
Every day, I measure and release lines everywhere on the noisy construction site.
At this time, Pang Long's father worked in the mine for many years,
He suffered from lung cancer early on, not yet fifty years old, and his body had collapsed.
The only thing he couldn't rest assured of was his son's job.
When the father was critically ill, he constantly confessed to his co-workers and took care of his son,
And asked the mine leader to transfer his son to work in the mine.
At the age of 18, Pang Long's father died of lung cancer.
The sky at home fell, and Pang Long became the only man in the family.
My father's former colleague transferred Pang Long to work in the mine according to the agreement.
He was made an electrician, but he did not learn anything about electricians.
The uncles and uncles were afraid of his accident and did not let him touch the electricity at all.
Just let him do some of the work that lays the groundwork,
In this way, Pang Long worked in the mine for seven years.
In these seven years, the three sisters have gone out to work,
The burden on the family has been reduced a lot,
Pang Long still insisted on singing in the song hall, which was his greatest comfort.
In the process of singing, Pang Long was more determined,
No matter how difficult it is, you have to go the path of music.
At that time, when my father died, he left twenty thousand yuan,
It was reserved for Pang Long to marry.
In the end, Pang Long sold the house and scraped together half a million to make an album.
The mother did not agree, and the mother and son quarreled,
In the end, her mother compromised and bought a piano for Pang Long.
At that time, mother and son lived in a three-room house,
Pang Long has one, his mother has one, and the other is a piano room.
Pang Long came out early and returned late every day, and it was already midnight when he returned from the song hall.
He quietly stuffed the money he earned under his mother's pillow,
Mother and son rarely communicate.
But the mother is emaciated at a rate visible to the naked eye,
In the past, my father was the pillar of the family, and after my father's death,
Mother's sky has fallen, and she is getting weaker and weaker,
Soon after, he died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.
After losing his parents, the three-room house became the most heart-wrenching place for Pang Long.
He never went to the room where his mother had stayed.
Fortunately, Pang Long finally realized his musical dream,
In 1996, at the age of 25, he was admitted to the popular singing major of Shenyang Conservatory of Music.
At the Conservatory of Music, Pang Long gained a more systematic knowledge of music,
Coupled with his own musicality and voice conditions are very good,
Four years of study have made him more confident in his music.
2000 was the most brilliant year in the Chinese music scene.
Sun Yanzi and Jay Chou both debuted in this year,
Jolin Tsai and Xiao Yaxuan and called Xiao Tianhou,
Previously, Xu Huaiyu and Xiao Yaxuan's playful songs swept the music scene,
Zhang Shaohan and Liang Jingru are gathering momentum.
At one point he doubted whether he was suitable for music.
Although no record label signed him at the time,
But he decided to make a desperate bet, and deep down he was still confident in his music.
In order to scrape together the money to make the album, he consulted with his three sisters.
Decided to sell the three-room house in his hometown.
Although the sisters did not agree, no one could beat this younger brother.
After all, he was the only son in the family,
In 2000, Pang Long's debut album "Life Trilogy" was officially released.
However, he did not become as popular as Sun Yanzi and Jay Chou.
His records went unnoticed and he ended up with nothing.
This incident brought a great blow to Pang Long,
During that time, Pang Long was very depressed, and he once thought about committing suicide.
At this time, his friend Niu Chaoyang extended an olive branch to him.
At that time, Niu Chaoyang was working as the producer of the TV series "281 Letters".
This drama is supervised by Liu Xiaoqing and has a large number of interludes.
Originally these songs have been set singers,
But before the recording, the singer had a car accident and could not sing,
In a hurry, Niu Chaoyang had to find Pang Long to help.
At that time, Pang Long sang a total of four interludes, including "Two Butterflies",
Originally, he didn't care, thinking that the song was very general,
But Liu Xiaoqing was very satisfied after listening to it, and predicted that the song would definitely be popular.
In 2004, "281 Letters" was released as scheduled.
Sure enough, as Liu Xiaoqing said, "Two Butterflies" was on fire.
At that time, Pang Long received a lot of commercial performances, and he wanted to sing this song by name.
At the same time, the streets and alleys are singing 'honey, you fly slowly'.
The record label immediately seized the opportunity,
Four songs, including "Two Butterflies," were packaged on the album of the same name.
"281 Letters" was released at the end of August, and this album was released in November.
This is Pang Long's second album and the fastest released album.
The album sold more than 300,000 copies,
At the same time, "Two Butterflies" swept the major charts,
The unknown Pang Long became popular overnight.
At this time, he finally got rid of the embarrassment of poverty,
At major evenings, commercial performances are inviting him, and the appearance fee is as high as hundreds of thousands.
At the same time, the song "Two Butterflies" became the most popular color bell,
Also in 2004, Jay Chou first appeared on the Spring Festival Gala,
He released the album "Qilixiang", which sold for three million.
When Jay Chou firmly grasped the market of young people,
Pang Long's songs are more in line with the middle-aged and elderly market.
The following year Pang Long took advantage of the victory to pursue, he released the album "You are my rose",
The same is a catchy, simple lyrics, a bit of earthy love song,
Once the song was published, it once again created a monopoly on the charts.
This album proves panglong's strength,
That year Pang Long won a number of awards for best male singer,
He was invited to participate in Jackie Chan's charity evening and sang "True Heart Hero" with Jackie Chan.
In 2006, he was invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala for the first time.
Since then, he has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years and has become a male singer with a high degree of national popularity.
However, at this time, the controversy about Pang Long is also getting bigger and bigger,
Many professional musicians in the music industry think that his songs are too earthy,
It can't get on the table, and many young people also scoff.
It's like the daolang that Pang Long became popular for two years,
It is also with a song "The First Snow of 2002" to brush up the music scene,
After that, it triggered a scolding war in the music world.
Wang Feng said that such music makes the aesthetic backwards,
Na Ying said that if Dao Lang went to the Spring Festival Gala, she would smash the TV.
The criticism of Dao Lang at that time was completely appropriate for Pang Long,
His songs also have a strong earthy flavor.
In particular, Pang Long's fifth album "Start If You Marry Me" in 2007 carries the earthy taste to the extreme,
The lyrics of the title song, 'Many people say that I am the most handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes that look like a hair brother',
Such unimposed lyrics can be sung so bluntly,
It has also been warmly welcomed by many middle-aged men, especially in the northeast region.
At this time, Pang Long began to have a mixed reputation,
Some people like him and admire him, and at the same time some people scold him,
In 2011, Pang Long came to a turning point in his career,
This year, he and Andy Lau held concerts in the same city on the same day.
When the reporter asked about the difference between him and Andy Lau,
Pang Long actually said that he had attended the conservatory,
For a time, his reputation fell to the bottom.
At the same time, this concert once again hit Pang Long's face hard,
His concert only came with 2,000 people.
And Andy Lau's concert was packed with tens of thousands of people.
At this time, Pang Long has become a singer who has been a singer,
Once, he went to the warm-up of an awards ceremony.
He was shortlisted for Best Male Vocalist at the time and went to a university to solicit votes.
When Pang Long opened his voice, the students at the scene welcomed him in a warm way.
Throwing waste paper, banana peels, garbage on the stage, booing,
At this time, Pang Long began to reflect on himself,
He believes that all his fame and infamy are brought about by this series of songs such as "Two Butterflies".
These songs once pushed him to the top and pushed him to the bottom.
After much deliberation, Pang Long proposed to the company,
In the future, I will no longer sing the famous song "Two Butterflies".
To know that the copyright of this song, commercial performances and other income has reached 240 million yuan,
Abandoning this song undoubtedly gives up a cash cow,
Naturally, the company will not agree.
In the end, Pang Long and the company reached an agreement,
He gave up the rights to sing this series of famous songs, and he voluntarily hid in the snow.
In those years, "Two Butterflies" was still constantly covered,
But the income no longer goes into Pang Long's pocket,
He also faded out of the music scene, and after the expiration of his contract with the record company, the two sides ended the cooperation.
After that, Pang Long became much more low-key, and he returned to his alma mater, Shenyang Conservatory of Music, to teach.
He began to teach in 2006 and began to serve as a master tutor for master's degree students in 15 years.
He is now a tenured professor at the Conservatory of Music.
Later, Pang Long's students Gao Rui and Zhou Xingcai shined on the stage of "The Voice of China".
Entered the teams of Li Jian and Jay Chou respectively.
During this period, Pang Long still insisted on creating his own music,
There is no record label shackles, and there is no financial pressure,
Pang Long's song is no longer a saliva song.
"Brother Hug" can be regarded as Pang Long's last native song,
His later music is not only equipped with a string orchestra, but also the lyrics are very literary,
Completely changed a new style of music.
However Pang Long later released music in a capital without fire,
After 2010, the music market began to slump,
The output of Jay Chou and Sun Yanzi has declined, and the song world is no longer a hammer,
Many popular Internet songs are short-lived.
Pang Long occasionally appears in CCTV's variety shows,
There are still well-known mainstream singers,
But he no longer gives interviews, no longer participates in commercial performances, and has become much more low-key.
In life, Pang Long has a very loving wife,
He once revealed at the launch of his new album in 2013,
He and his wife have been in love for more than twenty years.
At that time, Pang Long was only 42 years old, and it seems that the two met when they were teenagers.
It is said that his wife was also a teacher, and the two had a son,
Now that he is more than ten years old and studying in Beijing, his family of three is very happy.
But Pang Long protected his family very well,
They were never exposed to the media, and his wife and son were never photographed.
Nowadays, Pang Long's news is getting less and less, and the album has disappeared in the past two years.
His energy was mainly focused on teaching,
Today's Pang Long occasionally cheers for the students who will participate in his own competition on Weibo.
Vaguely let netizens remember that the pop singer of that year was already a music teacher.
The children of the miners, singing from nothing to becoming popular overnight,
And then experienced the sour, sweet and bitter after becoming famous,
In the end, Pang Long finally found the best way to get along with music.
Be a teacher and no longer be judged by the market,
Help more children who love music realize their dreams.
