To be honest, it is not easy to write Mao with a pen, and my heart is a little worried.
This big boy who sings in a shallow voice on stage is far from being as simple and persistent as his songs, and his personality is too ethereal, like a veil, which is uncertain.
I was afraid that if I didn't write well, people would misread him.
Before participating in "Children of Tomorrow" in 2017, he was the nurse Wang Weijia who wore a white coat in the hospital to witness life and death
It's not easy to be a nurse
Witnessing life, old age, illness and death, sorrow and joy in the ward every day, the accumulation of various emotions has given him a thicker understanding of life and more resonance for the emotions of ordinary people.
The patients in the hospital who have gone to the end of the mountains and rivers but are full of love for life have always been the obstacles that cannot be crossed in his heart, and every patient who is cured and discharged from the hospital is the driving force for him to continue to hold on. Despair and hope turn back and forth, the constant conflict between life and death, and the interdependence between patients and families have given him a steady stream of creative inspiration, so the song "Borrowing" came into being.
Just like his personality, his QQ nickname is "not easy" that is sad and compassionate, feeling the hardships of the world, while the WeChat nickname is a bit funny and some cute "Mao Mao", the two personalities are perfectly integrated in his body, so the two screen names are also combined to form a "Mao Is not easy" full of literary and artistic styles.
In 2017, when he participated in "Children of Tomorrow", the column group thought that his real name was Mao Buyi. So this name has spread all over the country with this column, and his real name Wang Weijia has become more and more forgotten.
In the first two rounds of "Children of Tomorrow", One of Mao's two songs was "If One Day I Become Rich", which frankly said his yearning for "profit", "The world is bustling, all are profitable; the world is bustling, all are profitable." "Profit-seeking is nature, and Mao is not easy to be bold and honest. Like he once said ,"I am what I am, I sing for myself", unbridled and bold.
The second song, "Feeling Like a Superstar." The song gave him the "name" in his heart, he was not willing to be mediocre, he wanted to be famous, and in his opinion there was nothing to disguise. When asked why he was participating in "Children of Tomorrow", he tilted his head and asked the other party in the classic "Mao-style rhetorical question": "If I can't be famous, then why should I come to the show?" The question was blunt, and his answer was frank, without the slightest attempt to hide his desire for fame.
The first two songs were completed, Mao's results were not ideal, and the tutors felt that his songs were too bland, no skills and no explosive points, it was really not brilliant. Mao is not easy to get to the brink of elimination.
The third time on the stage, Mao Buyi was still as light as ever, and his style was still so indifferent. This time, he brought a song called "Dispel Sorrows"...
Mao is not easy to sing "Dispel Sorrows"
It is still a flat and straightforward style, still no treble and no gorgeous technique. This time, however, the judges could no longer say anything. Mao is not easy to use the most peaceful music to slowly tell his inner story.
Eight glasses of wine, toasted life from youth worry-free to young people have aspirations, from middle age hesitation to old age look back... The judges and the audience exclaimed: Is this hairy boy in his twenties crossing over? How can you have such a thorough feeling for life?
Judge Xue Zhiqian even exclaimed, "I have studied the words for twelve years, and today I am going to kneel for you!" ”
Xue Zhiqian commented that Mao is not easy
However, they forgot that before Mao Buyi became Mao Buyi, he was a nurse Wang Weijia... He was accustomed to seeing life, old age, illness and death, sorrow and joy in the ward... While others were still experiencing life, he had already watched the various tastes of life more than once from God's perspective.
"Dispel Sorrow" eliminates Mao's difficult worries, but makes countless ordinary people begin to worry. They see their past, present and future in the lyrics... So countless nights, countless people singled "Dispel Sorrows" accompanied by wine, but made themselves more sad.
The first two songs sang fame and profit, and this time Mao was not easy to sing the heart...
A song "Dispel Sorrow" did not make It difficult for Mao to stop. His talent doesn't stop there, and his dreams don't stop there. When everyone was still reminiscing about the sadness brought about by "Dispel Sorrow", Mao Buyi, the stinky boy, sprinkled a handful of salt on their wounds - "People Like Me".
"People Like Me"
"I think that such an excellent person as me should have lived a splendid life, how come in the end of more than twenty years, still floating in the sea of people..."
Mao Buyi only used one sentence, which made countless people blush again.
They can seamlessly connect "more than twenty years to the end" into more than thirty years, more than forty years, more than fifty years or even more than sixty years, and it is not against the law. Because this song is written for ordinary people who are struggling in the sea. Everyone can see themselves in the lyrics and see their whole life.
Empathy!
This is the highest goal that the lyricist has pursued all his life, so that this twenty-something hairy boy can easily do it.
Mao's not easy Bole Xue Zhiqian is not wrong, this is an unborn genius!
Everyone feels that "Children of Tomorrow" is a stage tailored for Mao, so that he can unscrupulously show his talents and abuse the hearts of the world again and again.
However, Mao Buyi himself has already seen through everything, and in "Dispel Sorrow", he has predicted the ending for himself - "the most absurd of sober people".
Almost everyone is sober, so there are "superstars" like tsunamis in the audience, and Xue Zhiqian spares no effort to push... Except for the maverick absurdity of a few people, everyone is drunk and awake.
If it wasn't for Xue Zhiqian's anger and dropped the microphone, no one knows whether the final result would still be so happy.
It's like seeing through everything
Even Mao Buyi himself was laughing at himself, "If you grow up like me, you can win the championship." It may seem self-deprecating, but it's unparalleled confidence – I'm the champion anyway!
After becoming famous, in the face of various announcements and activities, Mao was not easy to be a little confused. At the end of the day, he was just a young man in his twenties. For a while, he was so busy that he even flew to several cities a day to run circulars and do activities. This kind of busyness makes it impossible for him to calm down and write the music he wants.
Someone advised him to write something for the sake of the fans, even if it was to make up a number and maintain the flow.
Mao's rhetorical question recreates the jianghu: "I write songs for myself, why should I please others?" ”
He was right, it seemed that it was not easy to be plain and hairy, and he had his own persistence and pride in his heart, and he only wanted to make his own music.
There is a utopia in his heart, and if others can't go in, he can't get out.
Even his boss, Long Dani, bluntly said that she couldn't see through him. When the two people chatted together, they often fell into a long silence, Long Danni did not speak, and that Mao was not easy to speak. Later, someone told Long Danni that Mao was not easy to "be proud of himself and not easy to contact", and Long Danni had to explain to him again and again, almost more tired than the agent.
Dany Long
Fortunately, Long Dani is not a person who is eager for success, she knows that with Mao's difficult personality, forcing too hard will only backfire.
So she gave Mao buyi the greatest freedom, and what he wanted to write and sing was up to his own nature. Occasionally, the so-called hypnotism once or twice finally became a dinner party.
Thus, there was "Wrangling City"...
The pursuit of freedom in the reinforced concrete urban jungle, the pursuit of free running, can be imagined, can not be done.
So in this song, people hear the wandering and helplessness, and the cry of not being willing to be mediocre.
"Dispel Sorrow", "People Like Me", "Wrangler City", three works of the gods, others have a capital to be proud of for a long time, Mao is not easy to write three poems alone! He reached the pinnacle of his life.
Hair is not easy
Some people say that others are like his name, Mao is a hairy boy, and it is not easy to be his life perception. And he didn't admit it: I don't think it's so hard...
Some people said that his song was written as a requiem for all sentient beings, and he once again denied it: I am not so great, I just want to write the song I want to write.
So I summed it up and came to this seemingly absurd but most realistic conclusion:
He is frank, natural, yet idealistic, a bard who moves freely between ideal and reality...
