Wu Bai, there is a face that makes people hard to say.
There is also a voice that makes people speechless.
Use this face, this voice, walk the entertainment industry...
Not only is it red, but it can also be turned over to the 51-year-old age, which is even more difficult to say.
In January last year, the Mayday concert invited Wu Bai to let "Norwegian Forest" overturn the b station;
In November last year, a blockbuster Taiwan drama "Want to See You" made "Last Dance" explode the whole network;
Even the People's Daily praised his truthfulness and care for the little people.
Therefore, it is necessary for us to understand this rare and cruel person.
Wu Bai, born in Garlic Village, Taiwan Province, real name Wu Junlin.
But Xiao Wu is neither handsome nor watery, little black and fat, and his grades are still poor.
One day, Grandpa said: If you score a hundred, I will buy you a bicycle.
He scored a hundred points in all 5 homework subjects, and Wu Bai's name came from this.
Xiao Wu, a scholar, once wanted to become a painter.
Later, because of watching MTV, he fell in love with playing guitar.
However, in Garlic Village, playing the guitar is obviously not promising.
So, Xiao Wu, who graduated from high school, decided to try his luck in Taipei.
In Taipei, he did a lot of chores, and each job was not long.
The days passed like eating a bowl of cold chili powder.
No way, this migrant worker has a clean and unusual painting style.
As a clerk in the musical instrument shop, everyone else was busy selling musical instruments, and he was busy hiding in the corner playing guitar.
No boss is willing to accept this anger, so Wu Bai is either fired or on the way to being fired.
Fortunately, because he insisted on writing songs and singing, he was caught in the eye by Ni Chonghua, the golden pusher.
The reason is very hardcore:
"I saw a guy on stage with a pair of big fly sunglasses, pants that were too tight to fit, a big ass, and a hard wallet in his back pocket. He sang and twisted on stage, with a charm that no one else had, and hit me. ”
But other than that, no one is optimistic about Wu Bai:
Not only does this guy look like a truck driver, but he also has a thick local accent.
Sure enough, in 1992, Wu Bai released his first album "Falling in Love with Others is a Happy Thing" was a hit and did not hit, and the response was mediocre.
At this time, Wu Bai showed his honesty and tolerance as a musician.
He has absolutely no nostalgia for the worries he does not encounter, or the usual loneliness as a rock man.
Instead, he seriously studied why Andy Lau, who released a record in the same year, sold well, and why Jacky Cheung was named a singer.
He was more realistic than anyone else.
"Nothing will change, how it is is how it is, what is not what it is is not how it is." ——Wu Bai said to his 20-year-old self
Probably because no one lost two younger brothers in a row at the age of 20, within a year, like him.
Fate made him pessimistic, but he never gave up.
So a person who doesn't even look forward to tomorrow will desperately grasp today.
One day two years later, the sun was shining like fire.
He looked through the car window and saw a bridge, imagining that it would be beautiful if a boy stood by the bridge and cried.
Then there was a click, and it took only 5 minutes for "Ronin Love Song" to be born.
The question is, why does a big-faced grandfather have such a soft imagination?
Because Wu Bai, who looks rough to the point of teeth, is actually crying.
For example:
He was particularly selfless when he sang, always unconsciously distorting his face, resembling a vicious one.
Ni Chonghua said bluntly and tactfully: "Girls are scared of this way of singing love songs." ”
As soon as Wu Bai heard this, he ran out and whimpered.
Let's make up for the grievances of these five big three stout men...
However, if it were not for the extreme sensitivity and abundance of emotions, Wu Bai would not have become a Taiwanese creative sanjie with Li Zongsheng and Luo Dayou.
In his lifetime, he has written too many good songs, as classics, forever circulated.
Many directors choose his songs to enhance their work:
Before there was "Black Gold", "Brave New World", after "Want to See You", "The Last Night of the Earth"...
Many big stars are proud to sing the songs he writes:
Jacky Cheung's "If This Is Not Love", Faye Wong's "Two People's Bible", Andy Lau's "World First Class"...
Yes, these were all written by him to others, and they were all sung by himself later.
Wu Bai came from the lowest level, no different from ordinary people who drank and skewered at food stalls.
Therefore, his songs are very urban, and his love songs are even called earthy love songs.
This grounded tone is not suitable for most stars.
Because they have not experienced the life that Wu Bai has rolled in the soil.
But such an "ordinary" song can make you live in the first two seconds is worse than death, and the last two seconds can't stop.
Because every byte he sang was soaked with pyrotechnics, like most in the world.
Several of his photographic collections also loudly capture the truth of the world.
However, on the other hand, Wu Bai is delicate to the bone.
Just one sentence, "I am the wandering soul on the street and you are the one who smells me", how many people are amazed!
Wu Bai is such a torn character.
For example, before going on stage, he was always shy and nervous.
And once on stage, he instantly became the king of the scene:
Quiet as a virgin, moving like epilepsy;
Once he picks up the guitar, he's the most handsome man in the world;
He sang every word, and he used all his strength...
These words, people who have not seen Wu Bai's concert, will not understand.
It is said that it was the emergence of Wu Bai that made more than a thousand live houses in Taiwan explode in the 90s.
His concerts are always hard to find.
Even more insane, he was "the only one who gave himself a concert and the audience bought tickets to sing for him!" ”
Wu Bai just responded seriously to this: This is not the truth! I have to sing!
At this moment, the girls were sued again...
Wu Bai, who looks very unreasonable, is actually a famous "friend of women" in the circle.
Xiao S, who had filmed with him, joked:
"Teacher Wu Bai was on the set, which made people very scared, afraid that he would suddenly walk away or punch him.
But in fact, Wu Bai is the most gentle boy I have ever met. ”
Xu Ruoxuan also said: He seems to be very manly, but he is shy like a little sheep.
Tian Fuzhen confessed in public: Wu Bai is my idol, and when I see him, my heart jumps wildly!
Milk Tea even emphasized when singing "Ronin Love Song" with him:
The most important thing about this song is the fleshy mouth white in the back, which must be finished by Wu Bai.
Oops~~~
Many girls like such a contrasting and cute Wu Bai.
But what they love more may be Wu Bai Kuangshi's special affection-
In his life, he only loved one woman.
Many people can't believe that Wu Bai, who has written so many love songs, the emotional line is so simple!
The woman he liked was named Chen Wenpei.
5 years older than him, he was his agent.
In the eyes of outsiders, Chen Wenpei looks ordinary and is not outstanding.
But in Wu Bai's eyes, she was the destined girl sent by God to take care of him.
"We've always had a good conversation, very few girls can talk to me, she's an exception."
The two were in love for 12 years and married in 2003.
This wedding that Wu Bai said was like a "pink idol drama" was like this:
In a restaurant in Fukuoka, a foreign priest witnesses the marriage of the bride and groom.
The groom gives the bride diamond earrings and a diamond watch, and the bride gives the groom a pile of gold.
The only person who witnessed this happy moment was a group of hotel attendants.
To this day, they still wear couples outfits.
This is the ultimate charm of Wu Bai, the so-called "gentleness that can smash boulders"——
If you are promised, it will be a lifetime.
