Life and reality have taken away some of the teenager's enthusiasm for music at first, but it has made the teenager more awe and sobriety about music and himself.
After four years, 21-year-old Zhong Yixuan once again stood on the stage of "Tomorrow".
He sings in the song: "Should I be disappointed or look forward to tomorrow?" What to do tomorrow, sing or work? ”
- By Tomorrow
He said that "native" is inseparable from music. Instead, he continued to sing: "Can you still hold that guitar that is getting heavier and heavier?" There is always a contrast between fantasy and reality, and I inexplicably want to sell my guitar. ”
- By To Be Continued
"Maturity" and "growth" have often haunted Zhong Yixuan recently. In the latest issue of "Tomorrow's Creative Project", he and his partner Zhuang Zhongheng combined with "Good Idea" to perform the new song "Naughty Boy Rush". "We vainly want fireworks to last forever and hide the sunset; we covet the future, but we forget the present; we sing today's songs to the distant drums; we always rush to write stories, but we forget how to live our lives." 」
On an interview day with unknown weather, Zhong Yixuan chatted about the song. The source is that I asked him: The song that impressed me the most so far this season? He didn't pause, but first asked," "Do you want to tell the truth?" Before I could say anything, he went on to say "Naughty Boy Rushes."
Naughty Boy Rush Music: Zhong Yixuan; Owner Heng - Tomorrow's Creative Project Phase VI
Although I had already heard this song on the recording site before, when the program was broadcast, it seemed that it was more clear why in Zhong Yixuan's place, "Naughty Boy Rush" was more impressive. Frankly speaking, the previous two stages still have the shadow of Zhong Yixuan's past, and "Naughty Boy Rush", from the musical style to the stage performance, is the way he did not have or never shown in front of the public.
At this point, from "Tomorrow" to "To Be Continued" to "Naughty Boy Rushing", the music that Zhong Yixuan wants to express at the moment is also more clear. Asked about this in the interview, he agreed: "I want to write about this society, some of the situations I have observed, I have not yet had the opportunity to sing, "Naughty Boy Rush" is a beginning. ”
Writing about individuals, groups, and social phenomena, 21-year-old Zhong Yixuan, the teenager who once dreamed in music, woke up early after experiencing the ups and downs of the past four years. It seems that for Zhong Yixuan, the stage of life with a standard answer has unconsciously come to an end.
Borrow a beam of light from Tomorrow
#Zhong Yixuan sang Park Shu crying#, "Tomorrow's Creation Plan" broadcast the second issue, and such a hot search was sent in the entertainment industry editorial department group. "Wasn't it arranged by the program team?" " " That's Park Shu", "Zhong Yixuan has gone through some vicissitudes", "Grown up"... The heat of the discussion immediately began to gather.
Curiosity, in front of the screen, we directly dragged the progress bar to Zhong Yixuan's part, still a guitar, Zhong Yixuan on the stage performed the high light of "Tomorrow", the camera suddenly gave Park Shu, his eyes were red. "I cried, I had, I felt that the experience was different, it touched me very much." Park Shu never hesitates to express himself when he faces his favorite music and people.
You see, simple and ordinary are still Zhong Yixuan's most powerful musical weapons.
"What was inner OS at that time?" Curiosity is certain, after all, there are few people who can sing Andu shu cry, right.
"The day before the recording, I didn't receive my mobile phone at that time, and I knew a little bit in the circle of friends that Mr. Park Shu would come to this program, and his status in my heart was very high, whether it was music works or personality charm, I especially liked it." Before singing, I was a little worried, afraid that he would not like it, although he said not to care about other people's evaluations, but because he was Park Shu, it was impossible not to care. After singing that day, the intuitive feeling is that his work is really recognized. ”
Zhong Yixuan's box of words was quickly opened. He added: "What you get the sense he likes is the music itself. At that moment, Zhong Yixuan felt the charm of music again.
"Tomorrow", everyone knows that Zhong Yixuan is very entangled, and friends and colleagues around him have advised him to be cautious more than once, "After all, if the results are not as good as the first time, it is quite embarrassing." What few people know is that this is actually one of the few requests that Zhong Yixuan took the initiative to make to the company.
"Since last year, it has been relatively difficult to take over the work, and the opportunities to sing are even fewer. It was at that moment, junior year, graduating in another year, my college roommates and they began to look for jobs, and everyone was caught up in the atmosphere of planning for tomorrow. In the past, for me, I was full of singing, whether it was to sing in residence or to sing on the street, but last year I began to feel as if I could no longer do this, and it was urgent to solve the current problem of survival. ”
Zhong Yixuan was obviously aware of his emotions and had undergone some changes. He seriously thought about whether he would find a class like his classmates if he couldn't make money doing music. For example, to teach children to play the piano, but also plan to take a teacher's qualification certificate after the end of the program, it is possible that in the future, like their parents, they will become a teacher.
The turning point is on an ordinary class day that can no longer be ordinary. The official announcement of the "Tomorrow's Creation Plan" first entered Zhong Yixuan's vision was the three words of "folk song season", "I felt hit at that time, and there was even a folk song season, isn't this just for me?". [Laughs]
"I'm happy in my heart, I have another chance to come, right?" I asked.
"I feel a beam of light falling from the sky," remembering that moment, Zhong Yixuan's small happiness between words could be felt through the phone. Although the program was later changed to "original", Zhong Yixuan still decided to take the initiative to fight for it once, before that, he almost never took the initiative to communicate with others about some problems and dilemmas he encountered, fearing that it would bring trouble to others. However, Zhong Yixuan did not quite recognize the word "active struggle", and he felt that it was time to discuss how to solve the real problem. "If I don't say it again, I think I really can't stay in Beijing this year."
The time came to the first half of this year, at the company's annual meeting, he and the person in charge had an in-depth chat, and finally reached a consensus to participate in the "Tomorrow's Creation Plan". "Pack food and wrap, there is still land to sing", after the first singing, Zhong Yixuan made up his mind, "I still want to sing, this feeling of standing on the stage and singing, no other work can be compared." ”
The four years of ups and downs, lost and awake
It's not a small thing, it's all big truth.
Four years ago, the stage of the first season of "Children of Tomorrow" was the starting point for Zhong Yixuan. The trajectory of his life was obviously propelled from that moment.
"Tomorrow's Creation Plan", the program team found Mao Buyi (mentor), Liao Juntao (senior), plus Zhong Yixuan (classmate) on the stage, the former "family of three" is once again in the same frame, but the position has changed.
The language of the lens is far less direct than Zhong Yixuan's expression. "It is true that three people are three different positions, which is very good, which is a history of everyone's development in recent years." We were surprised by his frankness, but his next answer overturned the previous surprise. "I think the most terrible thing is that you keep yourself in it, don't face it, and recognize yourself, which is the best." Because this is indeed the truth, you accept it, and then you will not feel disappointed, all this itself is still in the work, no work is no work, then it is good to write songs and make progress. ”
For Mao Buyi and Liao Juntao's comments on his music in the program, he said that he agreed very much. "The three of us are the kind of people who separate work and life, and we communicate and get along in private like normal good friends." You don't say how you think you've developed recently, or how you'll develop in the future, there won't be so-called stress or anything like that. Occasionally they share communication music, and they may have some suggestions to listen to from their own perspective, and I think that's all good. ”
Even so, Zhong Yixuan still rarely took the initiative to mention his confusion and some negative emotions to his two friends and family members. But in the dialogue with him, in the music, it is clear that he actually longs to express. He stressed more than once that he should recognize himself, and at the end, he became more rigorous, "I certainly don't dare to say that I have fully recognized myself, but compared with before, there will be some differences." ”
"Just like at the beginning, I especially like to brush Weibo, read messages, and send a new song to see everyone's comments." In fact, at that time, everyone likes you, they will unconditionally praise you and your music, and these are easy to get lost in the flowers, and you don't know whether the song is good or bad. Probably since last year, I still have new songs and EPs every year, but I can obviously feel that there are not so many people paying attention, and when I go back to listen to my previous works, I will find that it is very young, and it can even be said that it is not very good. But it wasn't a complete denial, it was something I wanted to record at the time. “
It took him a long time to learn to distinguish between these praises and bad voices, and he said that since the end of last year, he has not been able to brush these social apps much.
There is a small detail in the interview, we talk about the cooperation feelings with the youngest mentor Wang Yuan on the stage, and Zhong Yixuan uses the word "heartache". "He (Wang Yuan) works a lot and is very serious, and when he counsels us, it is often easy to have heartache for him."
I'm not sure if Zhong Yixuan was also at that moment, gaining insight into his past self. But he said that if he could, he still wanted to grow up on a normal life trajectory, coming to Beijing too early, and the environment and things he would be exposed to would be different compared to his peers. Of course, these experiences are good and bad, but they will eventually merge into Zhong Yixuan and his music.
In the past and the coming, climbing and falling, like Zhong Yixuan's four years of floating and sinking, lost and awake. There is a saying in Yukio Mishima's Kinkaku-ji Temple: "What grows up in dreams, after being corrected by reality, actually highlights its beauty in dreams." "I don't know how many people will be like me, occasionally or open the past program, sighing that group of teenagers immersed in music, it is really rare, but look forward to the teenagers through thousands of sails, can not be teenagers, but must maintain sincerity." After all, as Zhong Yixuan said, "It is difficult for most people to always be sincere." ”
"You ask me what I want to leave behind on this stage?"
As the topic, at the end of the interview, I asked Zhong Yixuan: What do you want to leave behind on this stage? Instead of answering me directly, he told me a story called "The Girl Who Lives Upstairs In Me Committed Suicide."
After the incident, he and the landlord sat downstairs in the flower bed, but whether it was the passers-by or the security guards, they should still laugh, and no one cared about the matter. At that time, Zhong Yixuan had a lot of emotions. "You look at the Internet, XX, XX, may be a relatively well-known person died, everyone will be forwarded, to remember, but the real when you are around a living person, said that there is no time, everyone will not care at all." 」
Later, Zhong Yixuan wrote a song to the girl who left, the lyrics of which read, "It seems that she has never come to this world", and later, his music began to record the real people around him, or a certain social phenomenon. He said to himself that this expression was quite different from before.
Finally, he answered my question. "I hope that what I see, experience, and happen, may not be so warm, expressed through music, and can slightly trigger everyone to think, even if there is only one person, even if it is only a little bit." 」
