"I don't want to die in the loneliness of failure, I don't want to live underground all the time."
This lyric, which sings the voices of many people, comes from the song of the new pants band , "People Without Ideals Are Not Sad".
In the summer of 19 years, "The Summer of the Band" was on fire, Peng Lei's new pants band won the championship, and the tepid old roller cannon also became popular.
Breaking free from the confines of the six-story old-fashioned unit building, "living underground" has become a thing of the past for the increasingly handsome prince.
In 1992, Peng Lei and Pang Kuan attended the Beijing Arts and Crafts School together.
Perhaps because of inferiority, I feel that I have nothing to show off, and the rock music of promoting rebellion, no culture, and girls attracts Peng Lei.
The music was noisy and dry and good.
During the winter vacation, I had nothing to do and gathered at Pang Kuan's house to rehearse, playing the popular heavy metal music of the time, and several people only had an acoustic guitar and could not play.
Install a press-on electromagnetic film on the acoustic guitar, attach it to the tape recorder, and then break the speaker of the tape recorder to get the sound of the distorted guitar.
And so, the story of the Band New Pants began.
On the streets of Beijing, fantasizing about being in a dark corner of New York and London, without sunlight, is a good place for heavy metal music to grow.
Peng Lei grew his long hair and did not wash his hair at first, but his hair was forked when he was slightly longer.
After graduating from high school, Peng Lei also failed to leave the long hair of heavy metal to the ass groove.
In 1996, Peng Lei officially formed the band.
In the same year, he was also admitted to the Animation Department of the Beijing Film Academy and became a classmate with Huang Xiaoming and others.
Painting and music, Peng Lei's college life blossomed twice, each on one side.
In 1998, wearing his beloved little leather arm and holding up the guitar, Peng Lei and the band members released their debut self-titled album "New Pants".
In 2006, New Pants released the album "Dragon Tiger Man Dan".
The album cover was piled with a lot of retro elements, which quickly set off a wave of rock 'n' roll "new waves".
"Dragon Tiger Ren Dan" is a medicine, the name of the drug sounds very fierce, but it is actually just a treatment for dizziness and heat stroke.
This strong concept of contrast was also the fashionable musical concept that the new pants band chased at that time.
But when rock 'n' roll has a limited audience, people who play bands basically not only don't make money, but also have to stick money into it.
In order to maintain the operation of the band and make a living, Peng Lei has done a lot of work, joined the Internet company, worked as an editor of a children's magazine, and once worked as a MV director.
In order to put down the art bit for life, Peng Lei also directed the network brainwashing divine comedy that was popular all over the country - "QQ Love".
In the same year, "The Coco Heart Family", which Peng Lei served as an artist, was broadcast, which is his most widely known art work.
The painting style is strange but the story is warm, and this cartoon has become the childhood memories of many post-90s generations.
In Peng Lei's autobiographical comic "North Sea Monster", there is such a self-summary:
I have too many goals and ideals, that is, I have too many desires. But I can do it now, just think about them while lying in bed.
For a wide range of art, Peng Lei is also very "greedy", painting, music is important, but in addition to love, film is also his ideal.
In Peng Lei's Weibo profile, he introduced himself this way:
I am Peng Lei, the lead singer of New Pants, and I am a famous director.
In 2011, Peng Lei launched the film "Band", and with this film, he became the best director of the Asian Newcomer Award at the 15th Shanghai Film Festival.
The film is about rock and roll, and it is also the mask of the hypocritical people in the rock circle.
In the movie, rock female fan Yiwen likes Cobain and even burns incense for this deceased idol every day.
I don't know any staves, nor can I play musical instruments, but I want to learn the idol group band and ask my predecessor Guo'er for experience.
The other party said secretly: "It is right not to play an instrument, and it is good not to play an instrument." ”
Peng Lei, who is full of fun, also made a cameo appearance in the movie, sitting in a McDonald's and pretending to be cool, winning false praise from a group of girls.
Rock 'n' Roll flaunts authenticity, self-expression, maverick.
However, many people, like the characters in the film, are running counter to the spirit of rock and roll on their way to chasing rock.
Under the clash of Chinese and Western cultures, the young generation of China is blind and contradictory, and the false and fragile side is projected into it.
The film was widely acclaimed, and Peng Lei, who won 150,000 prizes, dreamed of becoming the seventh generation of Chinese directors.
At the award ceremony, Peng Lei was very excited, and after taking the stage, he bowed ninety degrees and promised: "I must make a movie worthy of all Chinese!" ”
So far, director Peng Lei has no other feature films except for one "Dance in the Room".
A total of six film works have only been released twice, of which "North Sea Monster", "Panda Milk Candy", "Savages Also Have Love" these three movies are too shocking to pass the review.
Peng Lei stopped making movies because on February 11, 2014, at 4:35 p.m., his daughter was born.
Peng Lei was panicked about his daughter's arrival, and in his words, he wasn't sure if he could handle the "eggplant that would cry."
Peng Lei covered his infant daughter with his beloved skin and vowed to make her a generation of celebrities in the future.
How to make a man fade away from the anger, smooth out the sharp edges and corners, and become gentle and cute?
Let him have a cute daughter.
Watching his children at home every day, Peng Lei changed from the unruly "bastard" in the past to a somewhat "mother" father.
Peng Lei named his daughter "Peng Lingsi" and her nickname was "Children of the End of the World".
When her daughter grabbed Zhou at the age of one, she grabbed the paintbrush, and Peng Lei accompanied her daughter to paint "Mimi and Gaga".
Her daughter likes music, and Peng Lei picked up the instrument and hummed softly for her over and over again.
At least 5 days a week, he picked up his daughter from kindergarten and took her to the park to play and teach English in the evenings.
Accompany your daughter to the parent-child market on weekends, and go snow walking with her on Valentine's Day.
On a rainy day, walking across the road with water, my daughter played with her heart and rushed in to tread water.
Peng Lei carried his daughter's school bag, stood aside to give her an umbrella, drenched in the rain, and watched her daughter play with a spoiled smile.
As a father, Peng Lei is extremely enlightened, as long as his daughter is happy.
Talking about the education of future children in the program, Peng Lei admitted that if his future daughter does not study well, he will certainly not scold the child.
If the teacher talks to him, he will tell the teacher, "Blame his father, it's a genetic problem." ”
Da Zhang Wei said that he once wanted to organize a dinner party and invited Peng Lei, but he did not expect to hear an incredible 5 words from Peng Lei's mouth: "Can you bring children?" ”
The superposition of the image of the rock old cannon and the loving father is the most real "good man at home" - Peng Lei.
Shi Lu of the Hedgehog Band once broke the news of Peng Lei's funny story.
The wife accidentally broke the bone by playing skateboarding with the child, and Peng Lei framed the film taken by the fracture and hung it at home in order to warn himself and remind his wife to pay attention to his body.
The family of three moved to a new home, ate and drank at home, no matter how late, Peng Lei would clean up the house.
Rebellion is him, meekness is him, sharpness is him, gentleness is also him.
Simple and straightforward is also the most evaluation of Peng Lei by many people.
Men have a childlike heart, and under the mature shell, they are always teenagers with childishness.
Once when the new pants participated in the music festival, Peng Lei shouted at the excited screaming fans on the stage: "How many people have watched "Summer of the Band" to come to our scene?" ”
Fans shouted, "Me! Me me me me! ”
Peng Lei narrowed his small eyes and continued, "I want to say to those fans who liked our band before, you are more bullish than those who have watched Le Xia!" ”
Just now, the group of fans who were still extremely happy slowly lowered their raised hands, and this "fishing law enforcement" showed that he was really not afraid of offending fans.
Of course, he was not afraid of offending more people, and he spoke bluntly and frankly.
When shangle xia, he bluntly complained about the boss: "Shen Lihui is too picky, I have never seen anyone who is so picky." ”
Because I dare to say it, I am also called "Peng Yan Peng Yu" by fans.
In addition to daring people, Peng Lei is also known for being good at blocking others, commonly known as "full blacking".
Li Shi "showed love" in a high-profile manner on Weibo: "I want to add Peng Lei's WeChat, and then I am blocked." ”
Peng Lei said: If you don't add it, you don't add it.
Because to add one person, it means to delete a person, if you add Li Birthday, you have to delete Lu Chuan.
Rejecting the useless socialization of hypocrisy and politeness, not smoking or drinking, and staying away from the "old brother" are Peng Lei's "oil cheats".
Once you become a "big brother", you become a truly mediocre person, and there will be no more shining things on you, let alone personality charm.
Peng Lei did not want to be the kind of person he hated, but he often felt that he was a particularly annoying person.
In his view, he has a cold attitude towards others, and he likes to be sarcastic and amplify the shortcomings of others, and he is not very good to get along with.
It may be a special favor from Heaven, and most of the friends or strangers around them are friendly to themselves and willing to help themselves.
All this made Peng Lei have a complicated feeling, and he felt uncomfortable.
"My life is so good, the emperor is not wasted."
Peng Lei sighed.
