People grow up like a tree, with sunlight, air, nutrients, but also experience sudden heavy rain, strong winds, and will certainly encounter many gentle birds and beautiful summer. Tian Hongjie also grew up slowly like this, he greeted the unknown, relieved and confused, chasing tomorrow, every tomorrow.
Did one of the rock's most rock's things
At the age of 17, Tian Hongjie made a very crazy decision. He picked up the phone on the teacher's desk, checked the system number, and called a music teacher, telling her that he wanted to take the vocal music test and hoped to learn from her. Since then, he has thought of this scene countless times, thinking that he has done the "most rock and roll thing".
For Tian Hongjie, music is the companion of childhood, and since he was a child, he has followed adults to listen to popular songs. Born in the 1970s, his parents grew up in the golden age of Hong Kong's music scene, and liked to listen to the generations of Wen Na, Beyond and Cheung Kwok Wing, and Tian Hongjie had many tapes in his home, stacked in the bookcase. When I grew up, my mother often said, "If you have any new songs there, I recommend that I listen to them." ”
Many of Tian Hongjie's small habits are related to music, and sometimes he will find some songs to listen to according to the current mood. For example, if you get into an awkward relationship with a good friend, or if you have a bad test score and get angry with yourself, you will listen to sad songs. After a long time, Tian Hongjie understood that the pain of growing up was far from being as simple as a song. The moment he called the music teacher, he just thought: Why not try something new? At the other end of the earpiece, the teacher said kindly, "Okay, let's meet in the afternoon to see what foundation you have." "Actually, it's the same thing if you don't look at it." Tian Hongjie thought to himself, "Because I really haven't learned anything." ”
Although he was zero-based, his vocal range was very high, and the pitch of the treble area was very good, but he couldn't remember what the teacher said that day. "I haven't studied very well, I don't have enough strength, that's a fact, and I don't have to boast that my high pitch is still beautiful, there's no need." In the bass area I can't exert myself, until the high note can, why I keep practicing, is because I know I can still improve. ”
After starting the systematic study, he weighed 180 pounds and looked like a Winnie the Pooh, hence the nickname "Little Bear". His activity space is only the piano room and dormitory, there is no time to play ball, adolescent boys always feel hungry, and what they eat grows on their bodies. "I wanted to take the musical theater department, and I still needed to learn to dance, but because of my poor foundation, I had to start with musicology, so I could only soak myself in the classroom."
The boring music theory in the eyes of others is very interesting to him in learning, and the palace, shang, horn, sign, and feather are all jumping notes in front of his eyes. He did well in music theory, but regretted that he did not have an instrument from elementary school. "I can't hear well, so I can't tell which tone it is." After recording Children of Tomorrow, he wanted to learn a little synth. "Elementary school had an opportunity to learn the electronic keyboard, and my parents still wanted me to go to school well. Start learning an instrument now, technically not very well, at least to create an atmosphere. ”
Want to wander the street corners of the city
Xinghai Conservatory of Music was Tian Hongjie's first choice, and on the day of the re-examination, he was the first to play. "In guangdong province, I was the first one." At 9:00 a.m., he had already finished the exam and returned home, not sure if he could be admitted, but he only felt that what he should do had already been done. "I've tried, the rest, resigned to fate." Prior to this, he also applied for a Malaysian university and received an acceptance letter.
For the son's sudden art student, the parents are a kind of "incomprehensible support". Growing up, his parents often made decisions for him until this art exam. Little Bear looks a lot like a good kid and a good student, but he doesn't think it's quite. "I've taken the penultimate number one, and I've taken the first place, and people think I'm obedient to everything, but I'm just measuring whether one thing should be done or not."
He made an analogy: "There's a fun place nearby and I'd love to try it, but if there's something important tomorrow, why should I go?" "There is an issue of 'Children of Tomorrow' that asks parents to send things to their children, and the gift he receives is a badminton racket. He loves to play badminton the most, but he only brought two boxes of clothes with him, and the racket was not with him. "There won't be time to play, so I won't bring it."
Long Dani visited everyone as an elder, and the boys were asking: "Can an artist fall in love?" "Can I order takeout?" Tian Hongjie's question in his heart is: Can I go out and play? "I don't like two-point life. I don't do crazy things, fights, drinks, clubbing, drunkenness, I don't do, but I like to walk, I like to look at a city, and walk slowly. ”
Once upon a time in Guangzhou, he liked to start from Huadu District, wander along a small street, pass by the buildings next to the road, and see people in a hurry. Many of the arcades that are disappearing, there are beautiful carvings on the wooden windows, the clothes ropes are drying the clothes of children, the building has long been mottled, but the old is calm, the old is not humble. "I walk in Haixinsha Square at one or two o'clock in the night, and when I'm tired, I find a hotel to stay in."
After a few months in Wuxi, he missed his hometown's roasted pork, glutinous rice chicken, and fish. His favorite fish is called crispy meat fish, the meat is not rotten for a long time, the taste is crisp, and Cantonese people often use it to beat the side stove. Many people love to eat Cantonese refreshments, in his opinion, is just breakfast, not not delicious, is not enough to relieve nostalgia, can not reduce the heart of the yearning for food.
Despite the questions in his mind, he did not ask them that day. "I don't like to speak in front of so many people unless it's mandatory." The PD who had been following him around him also asked him if there was any question he wanted to ask Teacher Long, and he shook his head. "My PD teacher is very good, he will ask me every time, do you want to say this sentence, I say I don't want to. He said yes, so let's delete that sentence. Make sure that everything I say on the show is what I want to express. ”
In the collective life of "Children of Tomorrow", Tian Hongjie learned many things, such as painting himself a foundation, but most of the time, he liked to appear in the camera. Shoot a reality show in life, and the choreographer will let him play a foundation. "I don't." He was very determined, "I don't want to increase the workload of the teachers in the later stage, do I think it is unnecessary, how much will it look good when I lay the bottom?" Just a little bit. Want me to be very delicate and wear makeup every day? I can't. "Doing this thing for himself, Tian Hongjie is very stubborn.
I want not to be changed by the world
The more you get to the back, the greater the pressure, before the finals into the continuous rotation, a lot of details are too late to think, a lot of knowledge is too late to digest. "It's like making a song in three days during a rush period, and it's too late to understand." Sometimes on stage, he felt like he was completing a task. "I love singing, but rushing on stage is not enjoyment." Remembering the campus singer competition he participated in in high school, he chose the song of his idol Mai Junlong and stopped in the semifinals, when he only felt nervous.
He kept these thoughts in his heart and didn't share them with anyone. "After a few months, my psychological resistance to stress has improved, but at the same time I have lost something." In the past, even if the sound was not accurate, he was very happy, carefully preparing his emotions to convey the content of a song. These feelings are very delicate, perhaps not everyone will understand, more often, growing up is always lonely.
"Once upon a time, when I sang 'You Don't Think of Me', 'Pompous', or 'Sweet Potato Love', I felt like I was showing you my emotions, immersing myself in it, and singing very devotedly. The first thing to consider is to sing the sound accurately. "He puts more energy into expression skills, the expression of emotions is not as casual as before, and he is also learning to grow and seek more methods."
He thought of many teachers, those who had taught him musically. "I've met a lot of teachers. Some teachers will pay attention to the expression of emotions, and he will talk to you wrongly, but you must not be known that you are singing wrong. Standing on the stage, you are a performer, passing on what you want to express to the audience. So it's okay to be wrong, but it's important to be emotionally coherent. Some teachers emphasize technology, why can't the treble go up? Because your mouth is not open, the position is not raised. ”
For a beginner, the teacher's words are precious, and Tian Hongjie has a cognition in his heart. "It is definitely not right to let out emotions 100 percent; it is necessary to leave three points of clarity to control, and the rest is left to the heart." Singing is like this, from the beginning of the state of putting, little by little, receiving what you think is trapped, and then slowly putting. It's a very uncomfortable process. He was soberly aware of this, and there was less trouble in front of him.
"No matter how fast I absorb it, I really won't grow much in these three months." The first time he faced such a big stage, it was completely different from taking a small class in the rehearsal hall, and once he was on stage, he couldn't remember the position of the sound, the conversion of true and false sounds, and the way of resonance. Remembering what Teacher Deng Ziqi said, psychology affects physiology, "it is not whether you can sing well, or whether you can hold it and pass your own level."
Tian Hongjie felt that he had grown up rapidly, thinking more and more, and when he sang alone, he would think of how to cooperate with the drum or the piano. "Say it in a word, will you think about whether you need to check it? There are many more concerns. "He wants to go back to college and has a firm belief in his heart that he will cherish these four years." At school, we rehearsed musicals every day, which was very tiring, but the atmosphere was relaxed. ”
After forming a five-piece band with his new friends, he hopes that everyone will have a good time every day and have a common goal. It's good to have someone to accompany you, but it's okay if you want to pursue what you want. "It doesn't affect our relationship, what the members want to do, I won't stop it, but support it." He also had a most gorgeous dream about the stage, he wanted to have a concert, to open a four-sided stage, like the Hung Hom Stadium.
Tian Hongjie asked Park Shu, how can I not be changed by the world? Recently, many people have communicated with Tian Hongjie, as a person who has come over, to tell him which method is better and which method is more appropriate. "There is no absolute right and absolute wrong, only that everyone has a different point of view. All thoughts are a reference for me, and more importantly, my heart should be kept certain, remembering what I wanted to do in the first place, even if I wavered in the middle, and told myself that you were right. ”
He had written the question on a small blackboard, but did not get an answer from Park Shu. "I asked myself: How can you not be changed by the world? I haven't found the answer yet. ”
