What is an idiot, what is a genius, and what is a dream? Caprice interpretation of the first generation of song god Xu Guanjie's interpretation of "Genius Idiot Dream".
Everyone dreams
There is no distinction between west and east in dreams
A moment of spring breeze triumphed
Unknown scenery is hazy
Life is like a dream
In the dream, he was fierce
Recently, I found inspiration in the brush video, and pushed the clip of the concert tour held by Tan Yonglin and Xu Guanjie. Immediately looking through the Internet to find relevant information, itself as a post-80s, from the father's tape DVD player to hear, finally became a fan, can't help but sigh, the years are like songs, time is like an arrow. Two "older youths", known as Forever 25, principal Tan, who is actually going to be 70, and Xu Guanjie, who is already 71+, are still singing for fans with deep affection.
Suddenly, I suddenly realized that "idiot" is not a pejorative meaning, it is actually like Xu Guanjie, who wants to continue to sing at age 71 and regard music as a "fool" of life. They don't do it for money, they don't do it for profit, they only do it for the love, the attachment and the dream in their hearts. Perhaps his singing skills are not the best, and he does not write the most songs, but his contribution to the Hong Kong music scene is irreplaceable.
Xu Geshen may not be well-known in our time, but in Hong Kong in the 70s, 80s and 90s, he was the big brother of the music world. The biggest contributor to modern Cantonese pop, is the first generation of song gods, and is the founding hero of Cantonese pop songs. In principal Tan's heart, there is only one idol from beginning to end, that is, the song god Xu Guanjie; and the second generation of song god Jacky Cheung in the 90s said that in front of Xu Guanjie, no one dared to call him a superstar. I will not dwell on history here, and I also mentioned it in another article.
Genius and idiot stills
The materials of heaven are all of use
Flying high doesn't have to be in a dream
Nan Ke's long dream went missing
The drunk man woke up to whether he crossed the phoenix and rode the dragon
From the beginning, Xu Guanjie was not related to the word genius. "Brother" Zhang Guorong once broke the news, saying that when Xu Guanjie recorded, each song had to be sung many times until he was satisfied. Not only that, but he also went to the University of Hong Kong to study Chinese, and specialized in Cantonese opera, in order to leave "Silence is Gold", "Laughter in the Sea", "The Voice of the Prodigal Son", "Half a Pound Eight Two", which make fans cycle the single countless times. It is precisely because of his efforts that cantonese songs, which are regarded as vulgar works by Hong Kong people before the 1970s, have gained public recognition.
In addition, Xu Guanjie not only achieved great achievements in music, but also called a "god-level" character in movies, and has set high box office records many times. Together with the eldest brother Xu Guanwen and the third brother Xu Guanying, the three brothers are known as the "box office iron triangle", and in 74 and 75 respectively, they won the first place in the box office annual list for two consecutive years with "Ghost Horse Double Star" and "Genius and Idiot". In 1976, the three brothers stepped on the peak with another "Half a Pound, Eight Two". Today's album "Genius Idiot Dream", which promotes the song, has sold more than 200,000 copies.
This song "Genius Idiot Dream" has been sung since its production, and it is not only one of the must-sing songs for Xu Guanjie's concerts, but also countless cover versions in the past 40 years, which is enough to illustrate the supreme status of this song.
"Genius Idiot Dream" is one of Asam's classic songs, and the lyrics are quite thought-provoking and make people face the world more positively. "Everyone is looking for dreams, dreams are not divided into west and east", do you remember this song, whenever the editor brings sorrow to life and work, he will take this classic old song out of the single loop, thinking deeply that everyone is born to be useful, you must believe in yourself.
The lyrics quote allusions, such as Nan Ke Yi Meng, who was born to be useful. Everyone will experience everything in his life, and these things will make people grow and become addictive, but they will also have unique understandings. Therefore, give it to yourself and live well; pass it on to future generations and live well. Inspirational classics, full of positive energy.
Once upon a time, listening to songs, the materials of heaven, all had their uses. Fluttering wings, no need to be philosophical in dreams, listening to a laugh in the sea, gushing tides on both sides of the strait, floating and sinking with the waves only remember the chivalrous atmosphere of the present dynasty; listening to songs now, full of deep philosophy, treating one thing, everyone's opinion is also different, and the philosophy in this song is the same, just as the ideas its lyrics want to express, equally wonderful, but the wisdom is very different: "A genius in one field is also an idiot in another field." ”
He's an "idiot," but he has a genius dream. It is precisely because he has a dream that today, I can cycle this "Genius Idiot Dream". I hope that in the future, there will be songs to listen to, and I hope that in the future, there will be more "idiots" like Xu Guanjie to create dreams for us.
