More than twenty years later, the young talent will personally go live to teach. /"Full Fire"
Other people's albums were born in professional recording studios, and most of Wang Lihong's albums were made by himself on his home computer.
So it's not unusual to think of hardcore moves in recent years, such as making sleep-aiding audio to solve insomnia, or using anatomy to teach people to sing and make sounds.
Perhaps this man with eighteen martial arts has long been accustomed to living alone into a team.
Recently, the Internet has begun to archaeologize the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
It is no wonder that everyone misses, that year, there were indeed too many memorable moments: the world's flying man Bolt was crowned a god; the swimming pool flying fish Phelps won eight gold medals; the women's four-person rowing won the first Olympic gold medal for the Chinese rowing team; the Chinese men's basketball team KO Germany ranked in the quarterfinals...
The Beijing Olympics not only witnessed the golden age of sports, but also recorded many vibrant Chinese faces.
Among them is Wang Lihong.
As the first singer to open a singing at the Bird's Nest, Wang Lihong's Olympic complex has a long history. Although none of the more than a dozen songs written for the Beijing Olympics were selected, Wang Lihong is still one of the singers with the most drama in the Beijing Olympic Games. In addition to his brief appearance in "Beijing Welcomes You", he was the lead singer of the torch relay theme song "Igniting Passion to Pass on Dreams" and "Beijing Beijing I Love You" at the closing ceremony.
And Wang Lihong at that time also had a vigor that was very compatible with the Beijing Olympics. The subversive new album "Heartbeat" is released, and Music-Man's world tour is in full swing. With the Opening of the National People's Degree at the Olympics, he could be found for a long time afterwards, whether it was the pop music scene or the idol theater.
With that, he was overwhelmed by newer and more surprising entertainment.
Until a live broadcast that can be called performance art once again brought him back to the topic list and brought back to the audience.
Not long ago, Wang Lihong withstood the cave people on the top of the mountain to send live streams with goods. After experiencing Yanzu's bald head and Guan Xi Fa Fu, I once thought that Uncle Benshan was the ultimate destination of all men. It wasn't until I met Wang Lihong in the live broadcast room that I found that Zhang Jizhong could also become a new idea for handsome guys to solve problems.
With his fluffy beard, long messy hair, and wild style, people once thought that what he was going to sell on this trip was either a wilderness survival guide or a chicken eating combat skill pack.
However, the goods that his brother brought were actually vocal lessons taught by him. I don't know whether he was inspired by Lao Luo's live shaving drainage, or the heat of the comment area advising him to remove hair remained high, and Wang Lihong, who was in a hurry, made a condition: "As long as I achieve the KPI of selling 500 copies of the class, I will shave off my beard to thank the audience." ”
You think Wang Lihong is like this. / "Falling Leaves Back to the Roots" MV
In fact, he can also be like this. /@Wang Lihong Weibo
And this also made the highlight of this live broadcast. With the crowd of onlookers who are not bad for money frantically placing orders, the live broadcast content has been successfully changed from idol sales to wash Vlogs. The razor was slowly activated, and five minutes later, Wang Lihong returned with the magic that could revive the heart of the two-meter-tall girl in the grave grass.
The one-hour live broadcast ended with an order of 1 million+ being auctioned. But Wang Lihong's appearance shock from sloppy uncle to spiritual boy is still continuing. From this, we see that people's sorrows and joys are not the same, and people's ages seem to be the same.
If you can have the honor to wait for the conscious inner volume of the internal entertainment male stars, I believe that the 45-year-old Wang Lihong will still belong to the one who lies and wins.

People reach middle age, and they are increasingly slashed
For Wang Lihong's wild transformation into Keanu Reeves China Branch, old fans are actually prepared.
As early as the documentary "Full Fire", Liu Tianjian, a senior producer who worked at Sony Music, revealed: If You can't contact Wang Lihong for several days, you go to him and see a wild man with a beard and no trim.
Only this time, what made him close to the outside world was not to write songs and create songs, but to indulge in code.
This is the thickest-haired yard farmer I've ever seen. /@Wang Lihong Weibo
If you pay attention, you will find that at the beginning of this year, Wang Lihong has begun to implant various apps he has developed. In addition to wearing a cultural shirt with two big characters of the book "Moon Study", he also took turns to broadcast himself as a teacher and teach people to sing on variety shows such as Kuaiben.
The 84-page teaching book, more than 3 hours of practice videos and more than 6 hours of instructional videos are all expected, and unexpectedly, there are videos of his mutant code farmers circulating on social platforms.
Painstaking programming personally on the battlefield, development and debugging with both hands. What's more, in addition to the show operation, there is also a show of contacts.
After all, not everyone can get remote support from YouTube's founders when debug is blocked, and not all apps can hit the green path to speed up censorship through a cross-ocean call to Apple's CEO when they hit the App Store.

However, music talents can link up with Internet giants, and it is not clear whether the dimensional wall is broken, or whether Wang Lihong, who is middle-aged, crosses too far.
Practicing martial arts can be learned and used now, Wang Lihong, what other surprises do you have that we don't know? /Documentary "Full Fire"
In the first half of Wang Lihong's music career, we only know that he was a scholar: he was admitted to williams College, the number one liberal arts college in the United States, and received a master's degree at the Berkeley School of Music, which is known as the temple of modern music; later, he also received honorary doctorates from these two colleges.
However, a thin piece of education is obviously not enough for him to win the title of "the top matching machine in the Chinese music scene".
In the years before the Chinese music scene fell into garbage sorting, Wang Lihong was already a singer-songwriter with the same name as Jay Chou, Lin Junjie and Tao Zhe. Singles such as "The Only", "The Sun and Moon in the Heart", and "Big City Little Love" cut a melody at random, which are all levels that can brush up the national popularity.
Wang Lihong, who is both traditional and modern, can change his temperament according to the instrument in his hand. /The Voice of China
On musical instruments, from guitars, pianos, violins, and jazz drums in the west to yangqin, erhu, guzheng, and Zhongruan in the east, in the words of Jackie Chan: As long as there are strings that can be sounded, there is no Wang Lihong that cannot be plated.
And this has also become the basis for him to take charge of the arrangement. In the intertwined melodies of the instruments, the collision and fusion of eastern and western elements eventually gave birth to Wang Lihong's proudest Chinese hip-hop style, such as "In the Plum Side" in which Kunqu opera was integrated into pop music; and "Heroes of the World" in Peking Opera mixed with hip-hop.
Among them, the most enshrined is "Deep in the Bamboo Forest", which combines Tibetan folk music and rock.com. The song not only achieved cultural export - it was copied by an Indian film as the theme song, and Sony sued and received about 2.5 million yuan in compensation; it also won Wang Lihong the honor of Best Arranger at the 16th Chinese Golden Melody Awards.
Wang Lihong's artistic attainments can be quizzed into a band. /Descendants of the Dragon 2060 concert
Even Asia's top arranger Wu Qinglong was deeply impressed by these experimental works, calling him a "scientist in the music industry".
As early as the years when the rap was excellent, Wang Lihong had already exposed the attributes of the technical house.
In addition to covering the lyrics, songs, and singing, even behind-the-scenes work such as mixing, recording, and accompaniment is not spared. Other people's albums were born in professional recording studios, and most of Wang Lihong's albums were made by himself on his home computer.
An unremarkable genius of hard work
But Wang Lihong, who seems to have opened a gold finger, is not a talented player. In his own words, he was simply fortunate to have been born in this era.
Like Gao Xiaosong, who was born in a family of "master's degree equals illiteracy", Wang Lihong's background is not ordinary, although it is not extremely prominent.
His maternal great-grandfather Xu Fengzao was a heavy minister in the late Qing Dynasty, his grandmother Xu Liufen graduated from the Department of Economics of Tsinghua University, and his father Wang Dazhong was a brain expert in the Department of Medicine of National Taiwan University. In this kind of daily gathering like an elite meeting family, Wang Lihong's biggest pressure is still from his peers.
Wang Lide, an older brother who recently received tens of millions of scientific research grants from the California government, has been a bully since he was a child. Because he did not like Harvard and went to Yale, his grades in college were so good that even the then US President Bush wrote letters to encourage him; his younger brother Wang Likai was not as top-notch as his eldest brother, but he was also a figure with full scores on the SAT or the joint examination, and finally enrolled in MIT.
Sandwiched between the two schoolwork wizards, Wang Lihong once couldn't find a way out.
But fortunately there is also music.
When he was 4 years old, because his brother played the violin, Wang Lihong, who could not find a suitable size instrument, would use the packaging box and chopsticks of the cornflakes as a simulated practice of the body and bow. When he reached the age of 6 and finally had his own violin, he spent 3 hours practicing every day. At the age of 8, he was exposed to the piano, and the time spent practicing the piano was extended to 6 hours.
People who like to learn will not have a bad life. /@Wang Lihong Weibo
Ang Lee once said of Wang Lihong: "As industrious as an ox, he is a genius who works very hard!" Born in Rochester, New York, where the Chinese population is only 1%, Wang Lihong has indeed been very competitive since he was a child, because he firmly believes that if you want to compete with white people in the United States, you are at least twice as strong as them.
So he can play the guitar until his hands are covered with calluses on broken skin, and he is willing to practice martial arts for concerts, dance knives and guns to toss out a scar; and even in order to slow down the pace of wrinkles and climbing, fat attacks, forty years of insisting on morning strength and late aerobics, two hours a day of fitness training.
Male celebrities who are less than thirty years old and like to mention a piece of abs should wake up. /@Wang Lihong Weibo
Although it is great to have dreams, many times, hard work does not necessarily create miracles.
For example, the first time directing a tube. Eating and living in the crew, the storyboard was drawn for several months, and the script was revised 53 drafts, but this "Love Notice" that poured Wang Lihong's painstaking efforts and gathered Liu Yifei's divine face was still embarrassing enough to let people use their toes to cut out a set of three rooms and a hall in minutes.
From the short film that personally directed Fang Wenshan's monthly learning course to the so-called music growth movie "Full Fire" with both shoulders to pick up the heavy responsibility of director and editing, it is not difficult to find that like all idols, Wang Lihong actually has a movie dream.
When encountering such a masterpiece as "No Questions Asked", Wang Lihong realized the mutual achievement of characters and movies. /Movie "No Questions Asked"
But also trapped by the idol faction, his electrocution performance is all based on the character bonus. In the early days, he played with Zhang Guorong and Aaron Kwok in Hong Kong films, although he did not steal the scene, but fortunately he did not play, which can be regarded as a qualified human flesh background board. If you are fortunate enough to meet Shen Guangyao and Kwong Yumin, who are tough and stoic, and who fit the temperament of the Republic of China students, you can make people's eyes light up for a while.
But caught in a movie that can be called a disaster in itself, Wang Lihong can't be a quiet beautiful man. In the little chick movie, pretending to be crazy and selling stupid with Zhang Ziyi is just the beginning; to the ancient sword movie adapted from the game, the eighteen-year-old boy with long hair, wearing a mech, and forcibly changing his life against the sky can only offer a wave of investment from Ma Yun and the desperate acting skills that Hollywood directors can't save.
Wang Lihong's appearance and costume drama cannot be said to complement each other, but can only be said to be incompatible. /Poster of "Ancient Swords and Strange Tan"
Like the movies, his music in recent years has been a roller coaster ride. To put it bluntly, since leaving Sony's self-reliance portal in 2011, Wang Lihong has never had a new work that gives people pleasure. Whether it is the soaring high pitch in "Split Heart" or the so-called "AI Love" that explores technology and human nature and is ahead of its intentions, all that remains in the audience's memory is the numbing electric melody and the confusing lyrics.
No surprise, only fear. /Screenshot of the MV of AI Love
Compared with the fancy output of artificial intelligence, as a former old fan, I still miss the era of white guitar and simple and clear Wang's love songs.
Why doesn't the perfect idol smell anymore
But even if these bad pieces of bad songs that are tried for the sake of trying exist, they do not reduce the weight of Wang Lihong's "perfection" in the slightest.
Who can refuse a Wang Lihong who ran away for half a life and still has a youthful aura when he returns?
There are many celebrities who donate money in Henan Flood, but 1.43 million yuan has a zero and neat remittance amount, and Wang Lihong is the only one. As for the reason, the Leeuwenhoeks in the surf give an explanation of the exposed age: 143, which is the numerical code of the common phrase "I love you" in the BB machine.
Some people do charity to make better money, and some people make money to do charity.
Although this explanation is slightly far-fetched, this is indeed something that Wang Lihong can do. In the early years, because he was substituted for the character state of mind in the movie "Color Ring", the songwriter of the single "Falling Leaves Returning to the Roots" was once signed as Kwong Yu-min. Fame and fortune are important, but this occasional romantic Frankenstein doesn't seem to care.
A happy family is also a big plus for Wang Lihong's perfect life. /@Wang Lihong Weibo
So he can give himself a second-hand pickup truck that costs just over 10,000 yuan as a gift at the age of thirty; clothes, shoes, hats, and suitcases are used until they are rotten, and even when Tao Zhe jokes about the hole in his socks on the variety show, he will take off his shoes quite frankly.
Anti-materialism is also the reason why Wang Lihong is in the entertainment circle of the deep pit and quagmire, and he can still eat properly.
Some people say that selling classes for plant meat platforms and live broadcasts is the beginning of Wang Lihong's rotten money. But in today's day when you can make millions of dollars in the buckle chart, and even dare to ask fans for money by taking selfies, investing in technology, manpower and enthusiasm for music online classes and investment moves out of vegetarian beliefs are really not a star fraud.
Wang Lihong, who has been sewing and patching for three years, I would like to call him a small expert in running the family.
On the contrary, with the gratitude of Zong Qinghou's kindness, he has never increased the endorsement fee, even if he is replaced by Zong Fuli on the grounds that "being too old makes people aesthetically tired", he has not said evil words, and Wang Lihong's character can be used as his golden signboard.
Curiously, ten years ago, when the Chinese music scene was full of gods and immortals fighting, Wang Lihong still had a place as a high-quality idol; today, he has dimmed his light.
Like some legend, it is destined to be locked in the drawer along with the tapes and CD players that have become history. Jay Chou was ridiculed for having poor data, Sun Yanzi became a niche singer, and like Wang Lihong, there were many heavenly queens who suffered the so-called mid-life crisis.
They can't integrate into today's entertainment circle because it has become a garbage shelter that does not talk about martial arts and beats up teachers and masters.
Newcomers are learning to fool around, but older artists are still challenging themselves. /@Wang Lihong Weibo
When the idol collapsed, the fans began to advocate attention to the work; the work pulled the crotch, and the fans held the character high; when the work and the character were not sewn to be exaggerated, the appearance value became a passport that could forgive everything.
But when they meet players who can play the value of their character works, they will only see the world too little and say: they are all dummies, and sooner or later the human design will collapse. Because when they grew up, there were no perfect idols.
For the rice circle, Wang Lihong and his friends are like a model of the past and the new, comprehensively showing what is called the self-cultivation of artists.
Wu Yanzu, 46, and Wang Lihong, 45, are the standard references for middle-aged male stars to age gracefully. /@Wang Lihong ins
Only after the complete process of chasing stars that "starts from appearance, falls into talent, and is loyal to character" can we understand that in the entertainment circle that tears off the packaging and turns off the lights, what kind of artist is worthy of being called an "idol".
