Text/Lu Shiwei
From twenty weak crowns to thirty stands
Start learning to give up
Those things that were once the most important
Suddenly avoided
It should be twelve or thirteen years ago, that is, the most popular years of Internet songs, one night I went to a bar in the Asian Games Village and participated in a press conference of an Internet song compilation album, which almost gathered the hottest group of Internet singers at that time, but what really attracted me was a small boy with glasses who made a temporary appearance, he dressed like a college student who had just come to Beijing to study, and sang a song that did not match the theme of the night. But it doesn't sound like Teresa Teresa's kind of "How Do You Say", it is a little loose and swaying, changed to a small R&B style of "How Do You Say", we are accustomed to listening to Teresa Teresa's "How Do You Say" is the kind of mournful crying, but the boy sings, like sitting next to you when the night is getting drunk, sitting next to you with wine and finally pulling out the words in your heart.
I told Wen Long, the photojournalist who came with me, that this was the only and best song I had heard tonight.
Wen Long was very excited and told me, I know this buddy, he can sing well, his name is Xiao Wen.
But then I remembered the name, until I received a set of 12 albums handed to me by EQ Records almost two years later, one of which was called "Brother Xiaowen", and the singer was also called Xiaowen, which was also the same Xiaowen who had been in that bar before. However, the small articles heard in this album are almost already a relatively standard taste of Internet saliva.
Ten years later, our magazine asked Xiaowen to do a cover interview, and by this time Xiaowen had officially used his big name: Jin Zhiwen. I also talked to Xiaowen about this past of that year. Jin Zhiwen said that when he sang "How Do You Say", he had just ended his career as a bar singer in Changchun, when he first came to Beijing, "At that time, how to say it, in that music Internet era, there is no way, there are many things you can only compromise, in order to be able to get a little bit more in music to let everyone know more about me, that is, all aspects of the channel have been surviving for two years, sometimes feel, you said that if you don't let yourself have some state, survive stably in Beijing, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to stay in Beijing at that time. ”
Yes, in 2006, Xiaowen joined EQ Records at the age of 24, when EQ Records gathered a large number of musicians like Xiaowen who could write and understand production, each with his own talent but had no way out, and a year later, the company came to a 21-year-old newcomer, named Ding Yu. Although Ding Yu is a little smaller than Xiaowen, he is not small, participated in the "Dream China" held by CCTV in 2006, and has broken through three divisions in Xi'an, Chengdu, Shanghai, and finally reached the top six in the country and won the "Best Persistent Singer Award". But what, that year's champion Xiong Rulin failed to catch fire, and a year later, Ding Yu also came to EQ Records, where he and Jin Zhiwen, who was still called Xiaowen at the time, became brothers in tribulations and hardships.
Given that the troubles come from nothing more than that
Life or yourself
It is better to leave the stone at the bottom of the mountain
Everyone rejoiced
At that time, the mainland music scene was at a watershed in the era of transformation and fission, the era of Internet singers was coming to an end, the new trend of the times was grassroots draft, most of the singers who showed professional standards and habits of business ability were regarded as outdated old forces were being subverted, and the business level was not professional enough but dared to say that they dared to sing and sing as they wanted to be pushed by the entire industry into idols of the new era, and the most embarrassing thing was that those who studied music for many years were difficult to get out of school. Only to find that the door they ran to with enthusiasm and ideals seemed to have few places open for music newcomers.
Jin Zhiwen and Ding Yu belong to this group. The two of them, one graduated from Jilin Art and the other from the Beijing Qilu Conservatory of Music, each of them rushed into Beijing with musical talent, talent and dreams, and at the beginning they also achieved some good results, but they failed to embark on the smooth road to put on the stars as desired, and they were still invisible in that era that did not belong to them.
But still love music, just want to make music, so the two had to turn to the sea of people, the enthusiasm and dreams are pressed in the heart, continue to be music ascetics, and walk and explore.
In the following six or seven years, the brothers still have been on the road of music, participating in the competition, writing songs, releasing albums, not too good, but each of them still has some small repercussions such as Ding Yu out of two albums, the theme song of the 11th National Games created by him "Blind Love" won the Best Song Award of the Five One Project of the Central Propaganda Department, the theme song of the Guangzhou Asian Games "Tianya Gong at This Time" won the Golden Melody Award, and both songs were on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala;
Jin Zhiwen has always maintained his status as a singer-songwriter, and has also released three albums during this period, and one of the songs in the 2007 album "Brother Xiaowen" "Left Eyelid Jumping" has also won him a lot of Internet popularity. Over the years, the brothers have also had the opportunity to cooperate with many popular stars and large-scale events such as Yuquan Li Yuchun, and although their creative and singing abilities have not been popularized to the public, they have gradually accumulated their own good reputation in the industry. It almost became a reflection of the collective life of young musicians like them in those years.
I always thought that youth was still outside the door
Push away surprises are all there
Fortunately, people who are capable and persistent may still be favored by opportunities. In 2012, the music scene changed the direction of the wind again, adjusted the aesthetic rules, and music finally returned to the track of professional development, and the young people who were suffering at that time finally survived another spring blossom day on the tail of adolescence.
In 2012, the 30-year-old Jin Zhiwen participated in the first "The Voice of China", which is an epoch-making program in the history of the development of the mainland music scene, Jin Zhiwen was fortunate to stand at this epoch-making starting point in time, and finally broke into the top four of the program, becoming the first batch of powerful singers in this program;
A year later, the 27-year-old Ding Yu also signed up for Beijing Satellite TV's "The Most Beautiful Harmony", another popular program that discovered the strength of singers, and finally won the runner-up in the finals.
As the new song "Night Talk" sung by the two of them: "I always think that youth is still outside the door, pushing away, surprises are there." When the opportunity finally came unexpectedly, they were also able to taste the surprises left by life, pushed open the door that had been closed to them for many years, and could stride forward generously in their music career, in just a few years, Jin Zhiwen became a new leader in the Chinese music scene, and Ding Yu was also named the youngest music master by the outside world. This generation of musicians has finally worked hard and gradually become the backbone of today's music scene, and has also entered the Mesozoic from the former new generation.
Survived the ghost weather of the cold spring
Insomnia contrasts
The more at such an awkward age
The harder it is to be impressed
Just thinking that such a situation is actually so tormented, people will always inevitably have some difficulties in their hearts from time to time, so when people are quiet and sleepless in the middle of the night, they always comb through the past bits and pieces over and over again, and only dare to rely on those who have been with you for the longest time and know the deepest, only they can best understand the lines of your psychology, and can smooth out those indescribable psychological fluctuations one by one.
Probably based on this psychology, Jin Zhiwen and Ding Yu, the brothers in distress, collaborated together on this song "Night Talk" to talk about their past that they were so heart-to-heart.
This pair of brothers who know each other in EQ Records once boiled their eyes together in the late-night recording studio, applauded each other during the performance, survived their youth in music together, appreciated and supported each other, and in the music released by each other, they all had each other's creations, such as Jin Zhiwen's "Butterfly on the Shoulders", Ding Yu participated in the composition, Ding Yu sang the theme song of the same name for the movie "Turning Mountain", Jin Zhiwen served as the arranger, and so on. Jin Zhiwen's marriage proposal song "Let's Get Married" was created by Ding Yu specifically for his good brothers, and The love public welfare organization "Galaxy Yinxiong Alliance" established by Ding Yu and his mentor Hu Haiquan, Jin Zhiwen was also the first person to come out on the platform.
Only such people dare to let you still have the courage and the mood to fully open the mood, the two of them, should have stayed up together countless times to create together, should also have how many times together with candlelight night talk, once each for each other to run for each other, but with a song to reflect their common past, to exchange their hearts, "Night Talk", is really the first time, probably that kind of experience for both of them, have been the most difficult, the most painful, the deepest, At an age when they seem to have been so relieved that they are accustomed to each other's tacit understanding, they are most afraid to poke it with their own hands.
But isn't music the best tool for recording the hidden, unspeakable emotions of the heart? In "Night Talk", it is the embarrassment of the past that the two brothers have joined hands to mention, which makes people sound particularly excited now.
Plot development never listens to the arrangement
Once a boy
Please, please
This eats the strangeness of time
Raise your hands high
In "Night Talk", Kim Ji Wen Ding sang together for the first time in ten years of brothers, in addition, they also worked together as song producers, arrangers, and harmonists, using music to record their common past, and also using music to show their current achievements. A warm and swaying urban minor tune, warm is the past that carries each other together, and the swaying is the present that is more steadfast and forward. In the comments of QQ Music, some people said that they heard what they looked like when they were young from this song, and they also thought of the way they stood in the city as small as ants in their thirties, so they saw themselves clearly and the meaning of living.
Yes, the most real thing to feel in "Night Talk" is that life is not a fantasy, there are not many miracles waiting for an accident to happen to you, nor will it be as smooth as you expect, "the plot development never listens to the arrangement", like Jin Zhiwen Ding Yu, a former boy, can also be regarded as countless times in the heart to please "this strange master of eating time", before finally killing the day.
It's just that life is not magical, but it is still supported by dreams, think of Jin Zhiwending in this group of Mesozoic singers, which one is not like the "Night Talk" singing, "Who is not under pressure on the one hand, but pretends not to care, too much expectation hope I can"? A song "Night Talk", the two brothers tried to use their own experience to tell their peers who are still struggling for their future, life is like an emotional matter, there is no need to be too hasty, as long as you really have the ability, you can also insist, then, "everything in your own time zone, don't be too discouraged."
What a warm encouragement.
Nowadays, Jin Zhiwen and Ding Yu in this group of about thirty musicians, is also becoming the core force of the creation and production of the mainland music scene, even though now the music world has reached the era of internet idols with traffic responsibility, and the powerful singers have temporarily given the most shining front desk to these people who rely more on the trend forces to win attention, but we still see that these idols want to become qualified industry products, still have to rely on the professional creation of this group of Mesozoic musicians, we see that the trend is rising and falling in a wave of the tide, The former servants and successors have become yesterday's yellow flowers, but the group of musicians who rely on strength to stand in the circle, once they stand firm, they will no longer be easily overwhelmed by the trend, time may be bright and dim, but the strength can always make people shine, for them, the next life is to constantly "turn over the next mountain" and use strength to usher in their own sunshine.
May they get what they want.
