Recently Carsick Cars covered Dou Wei's "Oh! "Oh! The live video of "Good" became popular again. In the video, we can see that although Dou Wei has forgotten the words on the spot, Dou Wei's dashing and handsome charm emitted by his hands and feet is really unstoppable.
Over the years, when it comes to Dou Weilai, everyone can think of news such as "Dou Wei takes the subway", "Dou Wei goes to a small noodle restaurant to eat noodles", "Dou Wei rides an electric car" and other news, using words such as greasy and depressed.
Dou Wei, who lives in major media news reports, is an "image of a lonely talent who has suffered a midlife crisis", and for many young friends, the impression of Dou Wei is limited to Faye Wong's ex-husband and Dou Jingtong's father.
So what is the real Dou Wei? What charm did he have that fascination fascinate Faye Wong?
Born in 1969, Dou Wei has been a literary and artistic backbone since he was a child, and he can perform in kindergartens at the age of 6. In 1985, the British mighty band came to China to perform, and 16-year-old Dou Wei began to have an interest in rock and roll after watching this performance. In 1987, at the age of 18, Dou Wei was admitted to the Beijing Youth Light Music Troupe, and he began to run the field to walk the cave, and it was not long before he met the Black Panther Band.
In 1991, when Black Panther participated in the performance, he was caught by Beyond's manager Chen Jiantian and signed the Black Panther Band on the spot. Black Panther's self-titled album "Black Panther" was released, and then released at the time with a record of 1.5 million boxes, creating the world's highest-selling album of Chinese rock music.
At the peak of the Black Panther band, Dou Wei chose to quit, and the explanation given by the Black Panther was that the concept was incompatible. However, Dou Wei's then-girlfriend Jiang Xin later wrote a book called "Days of Flying Long Hair", which probably explained the story. Faye Wong, the girlfriend of The Black Panther's team Luan Shu, showed admiration for Dou Wei, who had a girlfriend at the time, and later the development of things exceeded everyone's expectations.
At that time, some Hong Kong media filmed Faye Wong getting up in the morning in the alley of Dou Wei's house to pour the urinal, in short, later Dou Wei and Faye Wong announced their relationship, and Dou Wei also quit the black panther and promised not to sing the songs of the black panther period.
The love-hate relationship between Dou Wei and Faye Wong is another matter, but the video of Faye Wong singing Dou Wei's song "Dontbreakmyheart" at a concert in Japan in 1999 shows that dou Wei was a drummer at that time, and the relationship between the two people was very good at that time.
And Faye Wong really recognizes Dou Wei's talent, Faye Wong's 1996 album "Impetuous" was produced by Zhang Yadong as the supervising producer of the entire album, and a creative team composed of Dou Wei, Zhang Yadong, Faye Wong and Cocteau Twins can be seen in the whole album. And Faye Wong has said more than once in public that "Impetuous" is her most satisfactory album, which is probably what Dou Wei most attracts Faye Wong.
As a musician, Dou Wei knows a lot of musical instruments, in addition to the guitar can also play drums and flutes, and usually likes to draw and write. Leaving the Panther Dou Wei, after "Black Dream", "Sunny Day", "Mountains and Rivers", "Auditory Hallucination" have also gained a good reputation.
Dou Wei has also done film scores, such as the soundtrack of "My Favorite Snow Day" in 1999, the soundtrack of "The Two of Us" in 2006, and the soundtrack of "Li Mi's Conjecture" in 2007, and the reputation of these soundtracks is also good.
Later, Dou Wei no longer sang, nor did he have the burden of stardom, he would go to his favorite place to drink tea and listen to the guzheng, and no longer harshly criticized the things outside the body such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. Dou Wei, who no longer sings, is no longer active in the eyes of the media, but Dou Wei still maintains the frequency of several albums a year and silently makes music.
In 2019 alone, Dou Wei silently released more than ten albums, and there was also discussion in the comment area below each song. In August this year, Dou Wei released a new album "Hundred Family Names • Three Character Classic", of which the song "Hundred Family Names" Dou Wei finally opened his mouth, and the fans directly called out that it was really a long time to see.
There are many ways to succeed in this world, and not everyone has to live high and be admired by thousands of people. Dou Wei lives in the way he likes and makes his favorite music, which is also another kind of success. And this kind of freedom that everything has sailed through and does not care about the world's vision will also make many people envious.
