Recently, Black Panther Zhang Qi participated in "Brother Who Cut Through Thorns", his popularity has exploded, and he has gained countless fans, becoming a new generation of rock gods in the minds of many people. Zhang Qi's popularity also made everyone turn their attention back to the Black Panther, a 34-year-old band.
In the past 30 years, whenever the Black Panther Band is mentioned, most people have such an impression - "This is a band that changes the lead singer most often", "Black Panther belongs to Dou Wei", "Dou Wei is gone, Black Panther is nothing"...
Every time the lead singer is changed, it will be compared with Dou Wei, and the result of the comparison is to be scolded, the lead singer is scolded, and the black panther is ridiculed... The frequency of the change of lead singer cannot but be said to have nothing to do with this. It seems that Dou Wei is the eternal "God of Light" of the Black Panther, and it is also a hurdle that the Black Panther can't get around in this life, and it doesn't matter who comes to it.
As the tenth lead singer of Black Panther, Zhang Qi also has the same fate. Entering the Black Panther for 8 years, he was also scolded all the way. But he was not replaced, but became more and more stable, and now he is becoming the new "God of Light" of Black Panther after Dou Wei.
Coinciding with the opportunity of "the brother who cut through the thorns", more and more people pay attention to and understand him, thinking that he is worthy, his strength, his charm, can explode every stage, can hit the heart of every audience, and believe that it can also lead the Panther to a new peak!
I remember zhang Qi said when participating in the Yi Lijing interview program "Definition" that the black panther once had a "lamp" that was particularly bright, but this thing has been many years, the black panther is often said to be eating the old book, and every lead singer will be compared... I now hope that the "light" of the Black Panther can be lit again...
Obviously, the brightest "lamp" in the past was Dou Wei; and the lead singer in the back was living in dou Wei's shadow and could no longer turn the lamp on; now in Zhang Qi's generation, he has the confidence and courage to light up this long-dimmed "lamp" again...
A very euphemistic sentence actually shows Zhang Qi's great ambition, that is, I want to become the first lead singer to truly replace Dou Wei and lead the Black Panther Band to revitalize and shine!
Zhang Qi replaced Dou Wei, is this possible?
Maybe Dou Wei's die-hard fans will laugh when they hear this sentence, thinking that Zhang Qi is a little friend in front of Dou Wei, how to compare?
Of course, simply comparing Zhang Qi and Dou Wei is not necessary or comparable; let's only look at the identity of "Black Panther Lead Singer" to see if Zhang Qi has the ability to completely replace Dou Wei at that time.
I think it's possible.
It must be admitted that Dou Wei was indeed a god-like existence at that time, and the rock singing voice of the best of the world was unmatched, the calm and unruly stage charm, the talented musical literacy, and even the queen of heaven was willing to pour a pot of urine for him. Although The Black Panther's family is Zhao Mingyi, and the main creative force is Li Tong, the "soul figure" in the public sense is undoubtedly Dou Wei.
But Dou Wei's time in the Black Panthers is indeed limited, from joining to leaving the team, no more than 3 years. It was Dou Wei who led the Black Panther to reach its peak in a short period of time, but it was also he who brought the shadow of the Black Panther for 30 years.
On the one hand, some people say that the Panther is nothing without Dou Wei; but on the other hand, some people say that Dou Wei is nothing after leaving the Panther.
The former can be said that the latter does not understand music and does not understand Dou Wei, but this is the truth. When Black Panther sang "Landless Self-Tolerance", 6-7 of the 10 people may recognize Dou Wei, thinking that this is what rock and roll should look like, and thinking that Dou Wei is really good. But what about after that?
After the release of the first solo album "Black Dream", only 2-3 of the 100 people recognized him at most; then, after "Sunny Days" and "Mountains and Rivers", there may be less than half of 1,000 people; and after "Twilight King", "Golden Curse" and so on, 0.01 of the 10,000 people may be gone...
Everyone was saying that Dou Wei had become an immortal. Perhaps the really great artists have to wait hundreds of years before they have an impartial review. The Internet idiom "unclear consciousness" is a good interpretation of most people's understanding of Dou Wei.
The fans who still follow Dou Wei and really like his music are not ordinary people. But at the same time, these people also love to put themselves in the highest position in the chain of musical contempt. In their understanding, not only is the black panther who is far away from Dou Wei a slag, even Dou Wei in the black panther period is only his preschool level; people who listen to "Landless Self-Tolerance" are not worthy of talking about Dou Wei, "Black Dream" is only the beginning, and the more the more unpredictable the period, the more the real Dou Wei, Dou Wei is the eternal, the only god!
In short, the direction of Dou Wei in the heart of Dou Fan and Dou Wei in the hearts of the public is exactly the opposite.
Well, it's a bit off-topic. Let's only talk about Dou Wei in the Black Panther period, and after that, we really don't understand too much. Since the Black Panther period was only Dou Wei's preschool level, it must not be so absolutely insurmountable.
With Zhang Qi's singing skills and rock and roll style, it is indeed possible to fight with Dou Wei at that time, and may lack a little creative power, but if you look closely, Zhang Qi also has good works such as "War", "Fearless", "Blazing Hot", "Lonely Soul" and so on.
Putting aside the preconceived factors, Zhang Qi, as the lead singer of the Black Panther, replaced the brightest lamp that had ever been, in fact, there was no problem.
The problem is that, first, it is difficult for the public to abandon preconceived prejudices; second, Zhang Qi is certainly the year of fighting, but The Black Panther is old, and the era is different from the early 90s.
So to say whether Zhang Qi can lead the Panther back to the peak state of 30 years ago, in fact, this possibility is not very likely, but at least because of Zhang Qi's "lamp", more people have re-acquainted with the Panther and known rock music. Well, this lamp is meaningfully lit.
It is undeniable that Zhang Qi has eaten the dividend of traffic because of "Cut through thorns", but this may be the only opportunity that can bring change to Black Panther and Zhang Qi. In this era when the wine is good and afraid of the deep alley, if you do not seize this opportunity, it may be difficult for the panther to light the lamp for a lifetime. Some people may say that this is not rock'n' roll, but the preconceived prejudices they have endured in the past 30 years have no reason to speak of, and only by dealing with it in such a simple and rough way can they win a turnaround for themselves and buy a way for rock and roll.
30 years later, it is time to let the Black Panther out of the predicament of being shrouded in the shadow of Dou Wei. I hope that Zhang Qi can light up this lamp and lead the legendary band of Black Panther to another peak.
