In 2004, a song "The First Snow of 2002" made the name Daolang popular all over the country, and this song made Daolang's life change dramatically, bringing him glory and overwhelming denigration.
Na Ying once publicly stated in the program that although Daolang's songs sold highly, they did not meet the standard song aesthetics, and even said that the people who sang Daolang's songs in KTV were farmers.
Yang Kun also asked after this, "Can Daolang's song also be regarded as music?" Wang Feng is also blunt about this issue, and he believes that Daolang's song can become popular as a sad thing in the music world.
These three singers who spoke had a pivotal role in the music world, and the three of them spoke together, and the matter immediately exploded on the Internet.
But Daolang himself did not give a response, not only did not take advantage of the gimmick to hype, he was more low-key, and over the years he did not see anyone, so what is Daolang's current situation?
Daolang was born in 1971 in a county town in Sichuan Province, when he had not yet changed his name to Daolang, his original name was Luo Lin. Dao Lang's parents were both engaged in literary and artistic work in the literary troupe.
Because of the influence of the family environment, the young Daolang fell in love with music. For Daolang's hobby, his parents are also very supportive, and he did not hesitate to spend 300 yuan to buy an electronic keyboard for Daolang.
Since buying the electronic keyboard, Dao Lang has played the piano at home without a problem and rarely plays with children, which is also part of the reason for his introverted personality. Another important reason is because of Dao Lang's brother.
Because the parents at home are busy at work, the daolang when he was a child was almost always brought up by his brother, and the brother has a strong personality, and if there is a slight wrong, the daolang will be beaten.
Although the brother is very strict with Daolang at home, he still loves Daolang when he is outside, and if someone bullies Daolang, the brother must be the first person to help him "avenge".
When Dao Lang was 15 years old, his brother fell in love, and Dao Lang heard from elsewhere that this girl had a rich emotional experience and had had many boyfriends, and when the young Dao Lang would shout at his brother: Wear a green hat.
Because of this incident, the brother who was 5 years old beat up, and the parents could not help but reprimand the brother after knowing it, but they did not expect that the brother ran away from home in a rage, and as a result, he received the news that his brother had a car accident within a few days.
After learning the news of his brother's death, his mother also told Daolang, "Don't lock the door, your brother left without a key." I'm afraid he won't be able to come back."
The unexpected death of his brother caused a great psychological impact on Daolang, and the next year he gave up his academic choice to go on a rampage, leaving only a note for his parents when he left, "I'm going to find my musical dreams".
Like many people who have traveled alone, Dao Lang has been running around when he first left home, leaving his footprints in Chongqing, Chengdu, Xi'an and even Tibet.
He worked as a keyboardist, a lead singer in a bar, and later formed a band called Scalpel, but eventually announced his dissolution for financial reasons.
It was also at this time that Dao lang met the first important woman in his life, his first wife Yang Na. At that time, although Yang Na had just divorced and was a few years older than Dao Lang, Yang Na was gentle and beautiful, and Dao Lang was fascinated by her when he first saw her.
At that time, Yang Na's career love was at a low ebb, and she did not refuse in the face of Dao lang's fiery pursuit, and it was not long before the two chose to get married because they had children. Dao Lang was focused on the family, but he did not expect that Yang Na was not like him.
40 days after the birth of his daughter, Dao lang suddenly found that he could not find his wife, and later through telephone contact, Dao Lang learned that his wife wanted 8 days to think about whether the marriage should continue.
Unexpectedly, after 8 days passed, his wife never came back, which made Daolang, who was still immersed in the joy of marriage at the time, difficult to accept for a while, so he also specially created the song Child to express his nostalgia for his wife.
The band announced its dissolution, and the newlywed wife chose to go away, and despite the grief, life still needs to go on. Dao Lang had no choice but to send the child to his parents in his hometown, and let his parents help raise them first.
After experiencing this blow, Dao lang resolutely chose to go to Hainan to work hard, fortunately, this trip to Hainan is still a harvest, And Dao Lang met his second marriage here.
The second wife, Zhu Mei, is a Xinjiang girl, and the two came together because they shared a musical dream. Not long after, Sun Mei's mother suddenly fell ill, and Sun Mei had no choice but to return to Xinjiang to take care of her mother.
After she explained the reason to Dao lang, Dao Lang went with Sun Mei. After coming to Xinjiang, Daolang not only felt the enthusiasm of the local people, but also learned about the music of Xinjiang. It is also because of the influence of Xinjiang's music culture that daolang's unique voice has been created.
After realizing this, Daolang has covered some Xinjiang songs, such as "The grapes of Turpan are ripe" and "Why are the flowers so red". Later, based on the story of an environmental volunteer at that time, he created the famous "Love Song of the West Sea".
Not long after, Daolang began to have some fame in Xinjiang, but Daolang himself was not satisfied with this achievement. So Dao Lang used all his savings to create an album, and as a result, the sales of the album were very poor, only selling about 2,000 copies.
Fortunately, at this time, a record company admired Daolang, and Daolang, who had nothing, could only choose to sign. At that time, Daolang was still called Luo Lin, and the company felt that this name had no literary atmosphere, and after some thought, it changed its name to Daolang.
2004 was the most important year of Daolang's life. On the way to work one day two years ago, the sky just happened to be the first snow of the year.
Dao Lang looked at the flying snow and the buses driving on the road, and his heart was quite emotional, so "The First Snow of 2002" was created.
It was a time when the Chinese music scene was full of stars. Jay Chou has "Qilixiang", Lin Junjie has "Jiangnan", and singers like Mayday, Sun Yanzi, Zhang Shaohan and other popular singers in the country are preparing to go.
But no one expected that when so many big coffee "fights", Daolang with the album actually achieved 2.7 million copies of sales.
If you add the data of pirated albums, there may be 10 million copies, which directly refreshes the sales record of the records at that time. Daolang became an overnight hit, and soon after, the album "Kashgar Poplar" also sold 1 million copies.
After that, a series of popular songs such as "Lover" and "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" were released. Whether it is the city or the countryside, everywhere is filled with the low and hoarse voice of Daolang.
The premiere of "Ten Faces Ambush" directed by Zhang Yimou also invited Dao Lang to be the guest singer, and he sang two classic songs, "The First Snow of 2002" and "Remembering Comrades-in-Arms".
At this time, Daolang's scenery was infinite, and his name resounded throughout the north and south of the river. As Daolang's popularity troubles began to arise, the first thing that made him feel distressed was the emergence of "Western Daolang".
Yuyu Daolang released an album "Looking for Mayira", but on the album, the display of the two words of Xiyu is very small and almost invisible, but the two words of Daolang are very large, and many fans think that this is Daolang's new album, so they have purchased it.
In this case, this album actually sold 400,000 copies, and after seeing the benefits, The Western Daolang was even more arrogant in gold.
In the end, the matter reached Daolang's ears, which had seriously infringed on Daolang's right to reputation, and Daolang directly took the legal route and sued him in court. At that time, this Western Daolang still wanted to defend himself, but the legal net was restored, and in the end, Daolang won the case.
This incident has just ended, and Daolang is facing new challenges. After becoming popular, Dao Lang has been controversial, and everyone's evaluation of his songs has always been more polarized.
Famous singers Tan Yonglin, Andy Lau and others believe that the content of Daolang's songs is very real and can be close to the hearts of the masses, and they even invited Daolang to sing. But there are also some people who don't approve of his music.
After the explosion of "The First Snow of 2002", Wang Feng once publicly expressed his opinion, believing that Daolang's popularity was a manifestation of the sadness of the Chinese music scene.
He also said that Daolang was popular because the audience had listened to enough exquisite music, and suddenly the music that won the number of rural groups felt fresh.
After Wang Feng spoke, Yang Kun immediately stood up and took a stand. He believes that Dao lang's songs cannot even be regarded as music, and this kind of song is nothing in the eyes of professional musicians.
Yang Kun also said that this kind of song can occasionally be listened to when nostalgic for the past, but if you listen to it all the time, these songs have no meaning.
Not only the old predecessors of these singers, but also the people who played rock and roll at that time did not want to see Daolang. In 2005, more than 10 rock musicians, including overload bands, were interviewed.
When talking about Daolang, the lead singer of the Avanti Band, Haziken, said that "no one wants to talk about him, and I am angry when I talk about him", which is enough to reflect the situation of Daolang at that time.
At this time, more and more people began to taunt Daolang. By chance, Dao lang saw a report about himself in the newspaper, and the headline was written with the words "Cold Eyes look at Dao Lang".
Later, he also went online to read some derogatory content about himself, and at first he would reply to these comments, but over time, he also became numb.
At this time, Daolang, who was no longer young, suddenly became agitated, he cancelled the concert, pushed the commercial performance, and even refused the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala.
In a state of high pressure, he resolutely went to the Great Northwest and lived a life of embracing nature, blowing wind and drinking.
After this, Dao Lang has been in a state of semi-retreat, and almost no one has heard from him. But he did not expect that even though he had come to the northwest, he still could not be far away from this noise.
In 2010, Na Ying served as a judge on a music chart, and when Dao Lang was about to be shortlisted for the list of influential singers in the music industry for ten years, Na Ying was fully opposed.
It also said that although Dao lang's album sold well, his songs did not have aesthetics, and he said that the people who listened to his songs were farmers. In the end, under the obstruction of Na Ying, Dao Lang had no chance of winning the award.
After this incident, the public opinion that had been calmed for a long time was once again brought up, and in the face of these doubts, Daolang almost collapsed.
In 2012, Dao Lang opened a concert in Hong Kong, and it was surprising that the attendance rate of this concert was as high as 90%, but it is regrettable that after this concert, Dao Lang completely withdrew from the Chinese music scene.
After that, Daolang chose to settle in a small city in Xinjiang, stepped off the stage, and did behind-the-scenes work. After that, he became an excellent master and cultivated Yun Duo, a good apprentice, and Yun Duo once appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala four times, which also showed the strength of Dao Lang.
And Daolang appeared in everyone's eyes again in 2019. Dao lang sued Dolma for the copyright of the song, and Dao Lang said that Dolma sang his original songs many times without his permission.
Moreover, singing is still a fee model, which infringes on Daolang's intellectual property rights. The former friend against Bo Gongtang, which is also a dramatic scene, finally the court ruled that Daolang won the lawsuit and received 250,000 yuan in compensation.
DaoLang, who then disappeared for 8 years, released his new album "Playing Words" in 2020. This time the album was released, he still did not do the publicity work, he was still the same him, but this time no one stood up and said anything.
At the beginning of this year, Dao Lang released a new album "Everyone in the World". Unfortunately, too much time has passed, not only is Dao Lang no longer young, but his fans are also getting older.
No one knows that he released the album, let alone the sales of the album. The era when the Chinese music scene was full of big names also passed with time.
Not long ago, a person who claimed to be a fan of Daolang posted a photo of eating with Daolang on social platforms. Dao Lang, who is more than half a hundred years old, is now in a blessed figure, and has long lost the appearance of his youth.
This state can't help but make people feel a little sorry, such a singer who concentrates on making his own music has finally returned to flatness.
Now many young people may feel unfamiliar with the name Daolang, and his songs are rarely listened to, but the stories that have happened will always exist in our hearts.
The first snow of 2002 was still floating in the air, but the difference was that this time Dao lang would not look back.
