Daolang, a grassroots singer that everyone likes
In the more than 20 years since his debut, he has composed dozens of beautiful songs for fans
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, but sometimes, what the eyes see may not be true!
01
When it comes to Daolang, everyone will think of "The First Snow in 2002" launched in 2004
The album sold more than 2.7 million copies without any promotion
In that era of "50,000 is platinum records" and "100,000 is double platinum records".
Daolang's achievement shocked the entire music world
This is why at the 2010 Music Festival, Na Ying, the chairman of the jury, said that "in terms of album sales, none of us can sell Daolang"!
But few people have ever thought about it: before his debut, Daolang was just a little-known person, how could he create miracles?
Non-ya!
On January 1, 2001, Daolang released a collection of music works "Desert Love Songs", a collection of pop music and fashion music, but the album only sold more than 2,000 copies
Wu Zongxian forced Jay Chou to write 50 songs in 10 days before agreeing to help him release an album, in terms of quantity, Daolang is even more powerful than Jay Chou!
Writing more than 1,000 songs a year means that Daolang at that time had at least thousands of creative inspirations in his head!
And any hand-me-down work has to be constantly polished, overturned, re-created, and then overturned, and re-created, this process is a great test of a singer's mentality!
Singer Li Jian praised singer Wang Feng in an interview, saying that he is half of the Chinese music scene, on the grounds that Wang Feng has a very high creative efficiency, and basically has to release an album in two or three years!
As everyone knows, Daolang can write hundreds of albums in a year!
It is precisely because of these more than 1,000 songs that there was the outbreak of "The First Snow of 2002"!
Miracles, of course, exist, but they will not easily befall a grassroots!
02
Daolang's sudden rise has made the vested interests in the music industry feel threatened
They joined forces to suppress Daolang
This is a scene where Na Ying ridiculed Daolang's songs for not having aesthetic characteristics, Wang Feng said that the Daolang phenomenon is sad for internal entertainment, and Yang Kun said that Daolang's songs have no quality and set the Chinese music scene back fifteen years!
Generally speaking, in the face of suppression by peers, singers will stand up and respond as soon as possible
But Daolang didn't, he chose to bear everything silently, and for a while, he even ran to a small county town in Gansu!
In the hearts of some netizens, Daolang is too weak and doesn't dare to speak out when he is bullied
The actual situation is: Daolang, who is rich in spirit, has long seen through the tricks of Na Ying and others!
As we all know, Daolang never regards himself as a star in the entertainment industry, he only regards himself as a singer!
Hype up the grievances between stars in the entertainment industry, that's what domestic entertainment stars like to do
In 2010, Na Ying deprived Daolang of the honor of a ten-year influential singer
When Daolang was interviewed, a reporter asked this question, saying that Na Ying said that his songs are only suitable for migrant workers!
Daolang's attitude was: Did you hear her say this?
In Daolang's eyes, Na Ying is just a pawn of the capitalists, and "Daolang's songs have no aesthetic characteristics" is just an excuse for capital to suppress itself!
03
Daolang will make a comeback in 2023
The song "Rakshasa Sea City" brought him back to the top of domestic entertainment
In the eyes of some netizens, Rakshasa Haishi is Daolang taking revenge on Na Ying, Wang Feng and others for suppressing him back then, and the lyrics such as Ma Hu, Another Bird, and Turning Away Before Saying a Word are completely shrews scolding the street!
They think that Daolang wrote such a song in order to attract people's attention, revenge people, and then make a fortune!
The reality is:
Daolang didn't care about the eyes of others at all, and he never took Na Ying and others' suppression of him to heart
His creative ideas have long been out of the mundane
What's even more absolutely is: Daolang didn't plan to make money by releasing new songs from the beginning
Even if "Rakshasa Sea City" gets 80 billion online views!
Think about it another way
If scolding the street could break the Guinness World Record, the shrewd in the village would have become a celebrity long ago
If a revenge song can cause a global sensation, how low the aesthetic level of the world should be
What is visible to the naked eye is:
This time, it is netizens who spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!
The bird's ambition is like this:
Indifferent to fame and fortune, regard music as life, and do not bend your waist for five buckets of rice!
Whether it was twenty years ago or twenty years later, he never regarded fame and fortune as the goal of his creation
It is precisely this quality that has made him 18 million fans!

Therefore, sudden success, dare not respond, cowardice, greed for fame and fortune, this is just the appearance that everyone sees, not the real Daolang!
No accumulation of steps, no thousands of miles
If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas
A grassroots to become a well-known star must be based on the premise of having both ability and political integrity and paying silently
In the era of new media, an artist can do without works, but he cannot do without character
The reason why many excellent singers can't become artists is because they are not worthy
Here, Lao Mo calls on those musicians who have become famous to pay more attention to character building
