Hello everyone, I am Momo, a calm melon-eating slip-through.
Recently, the music variety show "Brother With Thorns" took the lead and caused strong repercussions on the Internet just one day after its launch.
As the male version of Lang Jie's variety show, the 33 guests selected by the program group can be described as a strong lineup with their own characteristics. There are veteran Hong Kong stars Chen Xiaochun and Zhang Zhilin, veteran boy band members Lee Seung-hyun and Gao Hanyu, members of the veteran boy band with both strength and appearance, zhixuan of evergreen forests in the music world, and more martial arts representatives Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhang Jin.
33 brothers with different styles gathered together, this is the competition, it is clearly a large nostalgic concert. Anyone who looks at it can't say a word, this lineup, I'm afraid even the Spring Festival Gala can't be put together!
In this group of people, Zhang Qi successfully snipes the hearts of the audience with a very explosive voice and a god-like Appearance like Takuya Kimura.
In less than a minute of his solo show, he detonated the audience with a hoarse and seductive smoke voice. It is no exaggeration to say that as soon as Zhang Qi opened his voice, it was as if he had lifted the heavy clouds and mist to see the daylight, and the world suddenly lit up!
The audience went crazy with the fierce drum beat rhythm of rock and roll, and the studio instantly turned into a large bungee scene.
After the hi, the audience only remembered to ask at this time, so charming, who is Zhang Qi?

Surprisingly, this man with long hair and shawl and guitar skills is actually the lead singer of the veteran rock band "Black Panther", and everything makes sense.
Although he is the lead singer of The Most "Longevity" band in China, Zhang Qi in his early years did not do music full-time, but was born in a famous school, the Beijing Dance Academy, a professional dancer, who had a small reputation in the Beijing choreography because of his imitation of the Mai dance king Kerr Jackson.
When is the music you're exposed to? Speaking of this Zhang Qi, he also laughed and felt that his original purpose was not pure.
Out of the psychology of adolescent boys, Zhang Qi felt that playing guitar was particularly handsome, and must have recruited girls to like, so he accidentally hit and began to practice guitar, and just happened to have an ankle injury, and could not find a new breakthrough in dance, so he went all the way to black on the road of music.
In order to sing and survive, Zhang Qi did not miss any opportunity. In 2007, Zhang Qi signed up for the first Happy Male Voice, but regrettably stopped in the top ten in Xi'an.
Because of his excellent appearance, in the early years, he also successively took over many small-cost web dramas, but they were all small supporting roles and did not make any splashes.
The opportunity to join the Band Black Panther was because he collaborated with Black Panther on a movie theme song that year. Full of talent was finally seen, so in 2013 Zhang Qi was invited to join the Black Panther band.
At that time, when it was announced that Zhang Qi would take over the lead singer position in place of Zhang Kepeng, it attracted a group of ridicule from fans.
For a long time, everyone regarded Zhang Qi as a pop singer who sang in bars, after all, he had sung in the famous "Boys and Girls" bar and also worked as a music director. So Black Panther fans are quite critical of this.
Can a draft-turned-bar singer actually join the Panther standing at the tip of the rock pyramid? Fans' doubts are actually reasonable.
Soon, however, most of the skepticism disappeared with the launch of the new album.
In 2013, the Black Panther band, which had been silent for 9 years, released a new album "Who We Are", in which Zhang Qi filled in the lyrics for the two songs of "Tide" and "It's My Time", officially announcing the return of the rock ace.
In the face of some doubts that still exist, Zhang Qi also said: "The charm of rock and roll is on the scene, I do not conquer you at the scene, I write backwards with my words." It sounds arrogant and ostentatious, but it's all based on his excellent singing and writing skills.
Sure enough, the album was well received and won the "China Golden Disc Award" that year, which also meant that Zhang Qi was truly accepted by fans and became a member of the Black Panther.
Later, when participating in a variety show, the Black Panther Band adapted "Velvet Flower" and other golden songs, Zhang Qi's voice successfully conquered the veteran singer Li Guyi, Li Guyi even let them express their position on the spot, so that these big masters can guarantee that they can continue to rock when they are more than 80 years old.
In 2017, the Black Panther band released a new album "True Colors", and Zhang Qi covered most of the songwriting. His outstanding creative ability successfully blocked the mouth of the yo-yo crowd, and he sat firmly in the lead singer position of Black Panther.
Now, it is Zhang Qi's eighth year of joining Black Panther, and every time the rock tough guy talks about the feeling of joining Black Panther, he always chokes up and says: "I do!" I'd like to choose again! ”

Speaking of Black Panther, many young people may not know it, but in that era of rock and roll, Black Panther was a trump card in the music industry.
Although after 34 years and 10 changes of lead singer, Black Panther still stands tenaciously in the rock circle and has become the youth memory of generations.
The Black Panther Band originated in 1987, when in the Welfare Factory of Daxing County, Beijing, several young people formed an electroacoustic orchestra, and later absorbed Ding Wu, who had been working in the rock circle for many years, and officially established the "Black Panther" band, with Ding Wu as the lead singer.
A year later, Ding Wu quit, and the Black Panthers welcomed their second lead singer, and the most famous lead singer, "Dou Wei".
Speaking of Dou Wei, everyone is estimated to be no stranger, known as "Xian'er" by fans, with a wild voice and debauchery. In the past few years since Dou Wei joined, Black Panther has become completely popular, and the self-titled album "Black Panther" has rushed to the hot list and become the highest-selling album in China, and the album 'No Land Self-Tolerance' and "Don't Break My Heart" are still many people's KTV must-order tracks.
However, not long after, Dou Wei suddenly left the Panther. It is said that it was because Dou Wei pried away the girlfriend of Black Panther keyboard player Luan Shuwei at that time, causing the band to tear up internally and helplessly run away.
Who is this woman? In fact, everyone is not unfamiliar, that is, the queen of heaven who has been put on the altar - Faye Wong. Later, the two were combined, and after giving birth to their daughter Dou Jingtong, they still parted ways.
Dou Wei suddenly left, the soul of the band was instantly withdrawn, and the keyboard player Luan Shuwei was hastily pushed to the position of lead singer, although it was still not satisfactory, but Luan Shuwei was often ridiculed as the "most hasty lead singer".
Later, Black Panther experienced Qin Yong, MarkTale, Qin Qi, Feng Xiaobo, Liu Zhengrong, Zhang Kepeng and other singers as the lead singer. Among them, Qin Yong served as the lead singer of Black Panther for 10 years, becoming the lead singer with the longest tenure in the history of Black Panther.
By the time Zhang Qi arrived, he was already 32 years old and the 10th lead singer of Black Panther, and the youngest lead singer.
With the continuous impact of popular music, rock and roll gradually became a niche, and the old bands slowly declined. Young people's hearts are tolerant of a batch of love beans and outstanding actors, but it is difficult to like a manic and roaring rock band.
Will fire conclusion -
The veteran band met the "young" lead singer, and at first many people expressed their inadmissibility, because The Black Panther only had an empty name left, and the lead singer took away the soul as soon as it was changed.
Most of the older fans only recognize Dou's only lead singer, which is understandable, after all, when Dou Wei was in Black Panther, his personal aura even overshadowed the Black Panther band itself. Dou Wei's withdrawal and departure are incompatible with the concept of Black Panther music, and there are also personal reasons.
In the era of the gradual decline of rock and roll, the name Black Panther is less and less mentioned in the younger generation, and the hegemony of the rock music scene has fallen to this point, on the one hand, because the times are changing, everyone's musical aesthetic has changed, on the other hand, because the Black Panther band is no longer young in thought, concept, or expression.
The lead singer who is too young lacks time experience, and the lead singer who is too old is too conservative. Therefore, in the middle of a group of post-60s, joining Zhang Qi, a post-80s strength singer, the big brothers in their 60s brought a 40-year-old "little brother", which undoubtedly injected new blood into the panther and brought the possibility of new vitality.
Many people say that "Brother With Thorns" is a popular show for middle-aged male artists, although it is not good to say so, but it is also an indisputable fact.
Black Panther has always advocated that the band fight collectively, and the lead singer is not allowed to leave the team alone to participate in the event, so why is he released this time? The fundamental reason is probably that the Black Panther Band can no longer stand still, and even the cow band can not just eat the old, or need to continue to attract new listeners and fans, and the lead singer to participate in the popular variety show is undoubtedly to help the Black Panther make a name for itself again among young people.
Apparently, this wave of Black Panthers succeeded. In the real-time discussion, Zhang Qi rushed to the hot search list, the 40-year-old uncle opened his voice and was charming, and the boys and girls were all impressed by the tension of rock and roll.
Blood is always there, rock 'n' roll is not dead! Black Panther is forever young!
