"Play the guitar! Just know how to play guitar! Playing for a lifetime is nothing. I let you play, let you play! In the spring of 1985, a man grabbed his son's beloved guitar with a scolding grin and threw it out of the window on the sixth floor in a fit of rage.
With a "whoosh" sound, the guitar fell on the hard cement floor downstairs, falling to pieces, and the teenager silently lowered his head with tears in his eyes.
His name is Pang Long, and he was born on May 2, 1971 in Fuxin, Liaoning Province, to an ordinary mining family with three older sisters, and he is the only male.
Pang Long's father loves his son very much, the son loves pop music, and he wants a guitar in his dreams, and despite the high price, his father bought it. But he did not expect that his son was fascinated like a demon, playing early and playing late, singing intoxicatedly while playing, he only went to junior high school, so how to go on, how to test the key high school, where is the splendid future?
Pang's father's worries were fulfilled, Pang Long's junior high school graduation exam results were a mess, he could only go to ordinary vocational high school, and although the guitar was lost, pang Long's musical dream in his heart was still there.
He found a job of singing in the song hall near the school, imitating the style of male singers who were in the limelight at that time, especially jacky Cheung's songs, and learned it perfectly. He can earn more than 100 yuan a month, which is equivalent to the monthly salary of a working class.
In 1988, when 17-year-old Pang Long graduated from vocational high school, the school recommended him to work as a technician on a construction site, measuring and discharging wires. After that, Pang Long entered his father's coal mine as an electrician, and his life was hard but stable, but unfortunately, within two years, Pang Long's parents died of illness one after another.
Father Pang shook his son's hand during his illness and said gently: "You like to sing, sing well, just keep singing." "On the table in the bedroom, there was a brand new guitar.
Dad's love is often deep and subtle, as wide as a mountain, as wide as the sea, so that children in confusion can rely on and warm, and get the strength to fill the whole body.
After the death of his parents, Pang Long worked during the day and studied hard. If the heart is there, the dream is there. In 1996, the 25-year-old Pang Long was admitted to the Shenyang Conservatory of Music's popular department singing major, and finally stood at the door of the coveted music hall.
In October 2000, the 29-year-old Pang Long graduated from the Shenyang Conservatory of Music, and he had only one thought in his mind: to make music and make an album!
To this end, Pang Long did not hesitate to sell his hometown's house, but also borrowed debts everywhere, and worked hard to create the album "Life Trilogy".
However, the reality is cruel, he is a nameless newcomer, who will hold his field? Album sales were pitifully low, and Pang Long had nothing to lose.
The blow was enormous, Pang Long lost not only money, but also self-confidence, and he even fell into self-doubt: Is he suitable for taking the road of singing?
Friend Niu Chaoyang looked at Pang Long depressed and asked with concern: "How about singing the first interlude for my TV series "281 Letters"? ”
This is 2004, the Internet song is developing like a bamboo, simple and straightforward lyrics, relaxed and pleasant melody, easy to sing, also good to listen to, especially loved.
The episode that Niu Chaoyang asked Pang Long to sing, called "Two Butterflies", is exactly this style: "Dear you fly slowly, be careful of the thorny roses in front." Dear you open your mouth, the fragrance of flowers in the wind will make you intoxicated. Dear you fly with me, through the jungle to see the stream. Come and dance dear, the spring of love will not be dark. ”
This TV series is invested by Liu Xiaoqing, after listening to Pang Long's singing, Liu Xiaoqing nodded in surprise: "Not bad, this song may be on fire!" ”
Liu Xiaoqing, an experienced experience in the entertainment industry, was not mistaken, the drama was not on fire, "Two Butterflies" was on fire, it flew all over the streets and alleys of the country, sitting firmly on the throne of the first divine comedy of the network that year, and earned 240 million yuan in profits for Pang Long's company.
In 2005, Pang Long took advantage of the victory to pursue, "You are my rose" turned out to be invincible, once again invincible in the market siege: "You are my rose, you are my flower." You are my lover, my concern. You are my rose, you are my flower. You are my lover, the rose that I have loved forever in my life. ”
People in this era, almost no one has not heard these two songs, mobile phone ringtones have also fallen, Pang Long that year is the Tai Music Chart "Best Male Singer" and "Best Record Sales Award", and then, "Two Butterflies" won the "Best Album" of China Gold Records, "You Are My Rose" won the first Wireless Music Club Awards Ceremony Top Ten Best-Selling Golden Melody Awards in the mainland, he was also known as the godfather of "Internet Divine Comedy".
Above the peak, the scenery is unlimited. But just as the so-called Cheng ye Xiao He defeated Xiao He, even Pang Long himself did not expect that these two famous songs would become the shackles of his own development later.
Two butterflies dance, and bright roses bloom in the wind. Chun Xuan invited Pang Long to participate four times, and commercial performances in various places continued to invite, and Pang Long became the most popular and highest-paid male singer in the mainland. Under the reputation, he was a bit drifting.
On April 22, 2011, Pang Long wanted to hold a concert in Beijing, and coincidentally, Andy Lau's concert was also on the same day. Some media asked Pang Long if he was under pressure? He said confidently: "I graduated from the conservatory, and it is not certain who will lose and who will win." ”
This sentence stabbed the honeycomb, Andy Lau's fan base is simply angry: Andy Lau what is the level of Jia, you Pang Long a singer of the Internet saliva song, only a little red for a few years, dare to call Andy Lau?
The results of the concert also quickly hit the face, the scene was only 2,000 people, and Andy Lau's concert was as hot as ever, tens of thousands of people were crowded, and the liveliness was extraordinary.
The taunts on the Internet are even louder: "Humiliate yourself!" "This incident has had a great negative impact on Pang Long's image and reputation. Moreover, more and more Internet songs have also begun to arouse people's doubts and disgust, and Pang Long, who dominates the golden list of Internet songs, has borne the brunt of the shelling, and many people have called his songs "superficial", "boring", and "bad Chinese music".
Pang Long was invited to perform at a university, and when he sang his famous song, a college student took out a coin in his pocket and threw it at Pang Long on the stage.
This is not an agitated tip, but a contemptuous attack. To make matters worse, more and more college students smashed their coins into Pang Long's face, and the performance hall was chaotic, and Pang Long dodged left and right, barely continuing the singing.
In fact, Pang Long has long been in pain and confusion, and the company has been allowing him to sing "Two Butterflies" and "You Are My Rose" from the perspective of economic interests. But he is a person with musical ideas and dreams, he does not want to be trapped by the same song all his life, he is eager to sing works with deep value.
After many fruitless communications, Pang Long finally decided to refuse to sing, and the company was not a vegetarian, hiding him in a rage. The final result was that Pang Long terminated his contract with the company, and he chose to go to Shenyang Conservatory of Music as a music teacher.
Pang Long created many new works, but he could no longer reproduce the glory of "Two Butterflies", and he gradually disappeared from the public eye, focusing on teaching and passing on his musical dreams.
People have their own aspirations, Pang Long from the mixed entertainment circle back to the Jingjing campus, it is not a good choice. After the prosperity ends, the background of life is Su and Jane, and there is his original intention on campus and his dream without regrets.
