In the third season of "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", in the first round of team competition, Tan Weiwei and Wang Xinling danced hand in hand and sang the song "Mountains and Seas" together. The voices of the two singers are like magnificent mountains and rivers, magnificent and galloping, bringing the whole stage into the highest peak of sound in an instant.
Every note is full of power, and each melody expresses a deep love for music, which moved the audience and the judges to be in awe.
What's even more shocking is that when it was Tan Weiwei's turn to perform solo singing, she stood barefoot in the center of the stage, turned her head sideways and closed her eyes, and performed her classic "But Ask for Pain" affectionately with that penetrating voice.
The lights gradually dimmed, and only a glimmer of light fell on her, and she wore a simple long dress, and her face was serene and reverent.
In the concise and unpretentious accompaniment, every note and lyrics of "But Seek Pain" shines like a pearl in a clam shell, full of deep meaning. The power contained in Tan Weiwei's singing is like a pair of invisible giant hands, gently touching the depths of everyone's heart, leading their souls into a peaceful and mysterious dream.
After the whole song ended, the audience fell into a rare silence. This solemn and solemn atmosphere lasted for several seconds, until someone bravely broke the silence, and the audience erupted in applause.
The judges and teachers also raised the high score cards in their hands, saying that this is the "soul interpretation" they have been waiting for for a long time.
When asked about the deep meaning behind the song, Tan replied candidly: "'But beg for pain' actually means 'do what you want,' which means 'everything is acceptable.'" The lyrics of "Laugh and love after commemorating this pain" is the truest portrayal of her heart when facing the flavors of life. ”
From the passionate in "Mountains and Seas" to the tactful people in "But Asking for Pain", Tan Weiwei fully demonstrated her firm belief in music creation on this night: not only to attract the ears of listeners, but more importantly, to touch their souls and bring them unprecedented experiences and touches.
In order to deeply understand the profound connotation contained in Tan Weiwei's song "But Seeking Pain", we must trace back to her shining musical path since childhood.
Tan Weiwei, a talented woman born in the beautiful land of Sichuan in 1985, has shown unusual musical talent since she was a child.
At the age of 16, she was fortunate enough to enter the highly admired Sichuan Conservatory of Music, where she actively participated in various singing competitions, won many awards for her outstanding talent, and even participated in the performance of China's first campus musical, "Future Combination".
By the time Tan Weiwei was twenty-three years old, she had already successfully stepped onto the stage of the world-famous Vienna Musikverein with her powerful treble skills.
The honor of her youth seems to have given her endless confidence, making her more and more confident, and she has an unprecedented firm belief in any competition.
However, fate played a huge joke on her, in the finals of the popular variety show "Super Girl" in 2006, Tan Weiwei watched his total votes being quickly surpassed by his opponent Shang Wenjie, and finally unfortunately won the runner-up.
This is undoubtedly a major blow to Tan Weiwei's music career. The glorious moments of the past seemed to laugh at her conceit, and the unwillingness and anger in her heart gradually sprouted.
After leaving the stage, she hid backstage alone, tears falling like beads of broken thread.
With the passage of time, Tan Weiwei's inner unwillingness and anger continued to accumulate, and finally broke out four years later.
At that year's New Year's Eve party, she launched a new single called "Tan Moumou", openly challenging the champion of the year, Shang Wenjie, and the lyrics were full of doubts and ridicule of Shang Wenjie.
Tan Weiwei even self-deprecatingly refers to himself as "Tan Moumou", which seems to be satirizing those viewers who are confused by superficial phenomena. However, when she launched this song, she was actually full of uneasiness.
She originally thought that Shang Wenjie would definitely fight back with all her might, and the contradiction between the two would further escalate.
What is remarkable is that Shang Wenjie did not choose to take an extreme way, but unexpectedly gave her "two silent slaps" with an extremely humble and inclusive attitude.
The first "slap" came shortly after the two attended an event together for the first time. When Tan Weiwei saw that familiar and kind face in the vast sea of people, a feeling of remorse suddenly appeared in his heart, and he was really a little uneasy.
However, Shang Wenjie only smiled indifferently, looking calm and calm, as if she didn't care about this matter. That smile full of confidence made Tan Weiwei instantly feel embarrassed and ashamed.
The second "gentle slap" came from Shang Wenjie's actual actions. Once, Tan Weiwei took the initiative to invite Shang Wenjie to participate in her premiere concert on the TV show, although she had already expected that the other party might politely decline, but what she never expected was that Shang Wenjie agreed without hesitation, and also specially bought a long-distance train ticket, and traveled thousands of miles to cheer her on.
These two things were like two loud slaps in the face, hitting Tan Weiwei's heart hard, making her completely sober up. Looking back on this past, she said frankly that it was Shang Wenjie's magnanimity that deeply shocked her, and she began to deeply reflect on her former pride and prejudice.
Deeply touched by Shang Wenjie's tolerance and generosity, Tan Weiwei began to reflect on his impetuousness and ignorance when he was young and frivolous. In order to find the original intention of music creation, she resolutely decided to leave the bustling city for a while and embarked on a journey to Tibet, the holy land in the west.
On that vast and unpretentious plateau, Tan Weiwei seemed to have unloaded all the burdens and pressures, and ran and frolicked to his heart's content. She went deep into the ethnic villages of Tibet, shared the weal and sorrow with the local residents, and experienced first-hand their simple and pure way of life.
The unique charm of nature and national culture deeply infected Tan Weiwei during this period.
The vast grassland made her feel the insignificance of the individual, the simple villagers made her reflect on her inner eagerness for quick success, and the authentic national culture rekindled her love for music.
In this way, Tan Weiwei spent an incomparably precious time in Tibet, reshaping his inner world in tranquility, thus gaining a steady stream of creative inspiration.
After returning to the bustling city, after a long period of condensation and gestation, she finally cast her own masterpiece - "But Asking for Pain". This moving song vividly presents the transformation of Tan Weiwei's inner world and the deep emotions she experienced during her journey of rebirth on the Hajj pilgrimage to Tibet.
The whole song is like a mirror of art, condensing Tan Weiwei's rich and diverse life experience over the years. Every lyric is filled with the crystallization of her wisdom, and every melody is her deep understanding of life.
In particular, the sentence "Laugh and love after commemorating this pain" truly depicts her inner contradictions and struggles in the face of various difficulties in life, but she always chooses to bravely meet the challenges of the future with perseverance.
And the four words "but seek pain", Tan Weiwei explained frankly, actually means "do what you want" and "everything is acceptable". Despite the inevitable pain, the world is still full of endless beauty waiting for us to discover, to experience, and to play the color of life to the fullest.
