Being impressed by Jin Weiqi is at a certain moment of "unexpected encounter".
For example, in 2012, the famous producer Song Yubin's recording studio, who was working in Tianyu Media at the time, was chatting while flipping through the lyrics file in the first personal ep of Martial Arts, I turned to the page of the title song "Wish", I liked the sentence "He is just a broken umbrella, even if it is repaired, it will only give you a rainy day", I feel fresh, melancholy and childish, and then I see that the lyrics and composition column is written: Jin Weiqi.
Thoughts crossed my mind:
Is this creator male or female?
How did you get such a bad name?
It's hard to remember, right?!
Later, I learned that the creator is a girl, a girl nicknamed "Big Brother Jin", and her name is gradually being remembered by more and more people - from writing songs for various types of singers, to publishing demos on the Internet, the "After-Listening Divine Comedy" "Thief of Years" written for the movie "Beijing Love Story" in 2014 came to the fore, the debut album "Perfect World" was released in March 2015, and the second album "Big Seven Radio" was released in November 2017, and then launched a tour of the same name. Spend 8 months through Hangzhou, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Beijing, Shanghai... 15 cities, finally in this August successfully concluded.
This girl and I also changed from "unexpectedly meeting" across the text to friends in WeChat, and even when I auditioned Liu Sihan's new album in advance last year, I recommended her "Patient" written to Liu Sihan as the main song when I didn't know who the creator was. However, after experiencing a completely unfamiliar process to begin to be familiar, the singer "Jin Weiqi", in my opinion, is still a strange "contradiction"——
She wrote songs for many well-known singers such as Yi Qianxi, Zhang Jie and Yu Kewei, sang for popular film and television dramas, and her representative work "The Thief of Time" was covered by Zhou Bichang, and the song had hundreds of thousands of comments on the music platform, and was a guest of the popular variety show "Longing for Life"...
The little girl who was hidden behind the scenes of the "Songwriting" column has become the heroine who cheered thousands of fans at the concert site. However, you will not feel a hint of hostility that has nothing to do with the work in this "Jin Weiqi" with both singing degree and quality, even if the cumulative number of listening hits of the album "Big Seven Radio" exceeds 100 million, she is detached from the work itself, and the sense of existence in this traffic era seems to be very vague, only in the music, "Jin Weiqi" becomes clear and profound.
It's a creator's luck, and we're equally lucky to have a singer-songwriter like Kim Hyun-gi.
I think she is one of the best singers in the new generation of Chinese music at the moment. The works that include lyrics, songs and singing flow with the clear background of urban folk songs, the catchy melody and the in-depth and simple theme are in line with the laws of market popularity, and at first glance, the tone similar to Sun Yanzi, or the characteristics of "making people want to straighten her tongue", it is natural to feel comfortable listening to more. From "Perfect World" to "Radio Seven", her musical form has become more and more abundant, her thinking angle has become deeper, and her production technology has been continuously improved, but the most valuable essence has always remained the same.
The most valuable essence is the "plainness" in Jin Weiqi's music - plain and real. Through the life scenes of his parents, the city, and the camp service, Jin Weiqi is a "scavenger of the times", picking up the memories, emotions and stories that people have lost in the process of struggle, wandering and struggle, and turning them into a work full of spirit. She sang next to no one, people listened thoughtfully, listened and listened, and suddenly realized: the protagonists who recorded, criticized, and comforted in the original song were Jin Weiqi, and even more so, they were themselves in their hearts.
In this way, her works restore the truth of our lives, retain pure sincerity, such "truth" is not a warm chicken soup for the soul, more like a sharp knife, cutting through the body and skin of the soul and brain, forcing us to look directly, looking directly at the simple to cruel, cruel to "unbearable" loss and gain!
Just like Jin Weiqi's "Big Seven Radio", I think it is a rare concept album in the Chinese music industry in recent years that is complete, well-conceived, and integrated into one, the performance on the tour of the same name, and in terms of originality, creation for others, and independent cover adaptation, showing the difference between Jin Weiqi as a "talented girl", just like we go back to the era when entertainment methods have not yet been enriched to explode, turn on the midnight radio -
"Only One Minute Left" is a fixed opening for the album and concert, "If there was only one minute left in life, what would you do?" If there was only one minute left in life, who would you be with? The violin's sense of resentment may cause the opening of the "calm atmosphere", in fact, it is a clever flashback, allowing us to see Jin Weiqi insisting on bringing the listener's thinking space with music, and then "like a dream is always a comedy ending, people admire you to applaud gorgeous new clothes to be your own king" Step by step and joy "Little People", "Exhausting your life for a dream to discover it at the top of the pyramid Deeply honored "Shameless Man" who is destined not to win in this practice" takes us to think about the "heart" problem of life from the macro perspective of life Don't worry, between the indulgence of dreams and the sinking of reality, Jin Weiqi will lead everyone to kill a calm and warm blood road.
"13", included in the first album, and "Greasy Taste" in the second album, actually produced a wonderful echo - the former is "two people stop at liking", after all, can not spend the regret of February 14 Valentine's Day, with a green but delicate to the heart-trembling details, the world of the two people is so clean that only each other, but also lose each other; to "Greasy Taste", love turned into numbness, "it is better to let go of those obsessions, quan dang has not met, the cup of wine is born perfunctory", after all, "the teenager chasing the bus, Now the suit is decent."
So whether he has sung Chen Xiaoxia's "No One" in Shanghai, "Miss that face full of innocence, miss the person who dares to love and dare to hate", Beijing field wrote to Yu Kewei's "Elevator", "Once loved and hated each other and abandoned each other, are all the ants of fate", written to Liu Sihan's "Patient", "Patients will say that I am very good, self-deception is a special medicine"... All remind: we have a face with a story, but desperately suppress and forget, make a look that doesn't matter, the touch of the city people and people, as if stopping at the nod or turning a blind eye, but ah, Jin Weiqi repeatedly opened the scar, telling you, how painful, how precious.
The other side of the repression to the extreme is that "Idol" and "Entertainment" or like crazy demons, or a sharp release - "love is a gun, hand it to you, loaded", tragic to desperately throw the idol you love, not others, just our cherished and spurned self; "the whole people entertain, laugh at the storm, it is always better to be relaxed, too many thoughts, willing to be shallow, please restrain your profundity", behind the understated ridicule is hidden the alarm of the heart: the collision of small people and big times, how fragile and strong is it?
"Aspiring Youth" and "Talent Co., Ltd." are the epitome of the young people struggling in countless cubicles, and if they want to show their skills, they will compete with reality, whether he breaks his head and bleeds or goes with the flow... And the fragments of love, whether it is "Bride A Flower" married to a prince who does not ride a white horse, or "His love is in disrepair and his heart has long been stolen by time", about the feelings we have fantasized about investing at any cost, experiencing and paying a disproportionate ending, or looking forward to having a you, so that all the waves will not be shocked, all become "Earth-shattering".
Cover songs of Faye Wong's "Only Love Strangers" and Karen Mok's "Lonely Lover" are a tribute to Jin Weiqi, but also the ambition of this girl - with abundant creativity, recognizable voice, "salty and sweet" (of course, I will spit on the shape occasionally too strong) temperament, Jin Weiqi has the ability to use music to tell the story to people's hearts like her predecessors, triggering deep resonance, and her future is worth more expectations.
At the end, after Jin Weiqi sang the first song that let many people know her", "The Thief of Time", she would sing the penultimate song of the concert, and the last song of the "Big Seven Radio" album " " " Mature so-and-so, at first are naïve creations", pessimistic and optimistic interlacing, calm and fanatical emotions, the overlap of dream reality, Jin Weiqi is always a "contradiction" in the music to find answers, is a sensitive and sober "era scavenger", she painstakingly presented in the work of the plain and true, in pursuit" The hustle and bustle of "Shuangwen" and "Raiders" must not be the most conspicuous, but when the midnight dream returns and meets unexpectedly, the Jin Weiqi you hear must be moving.
In order to be so moving, she chose to insist silently, when Li Zongsheng said to her, "There is no way to analyze what the market is and what kind of music the audience likes, so why don't you try to write what you want to write?" You will definitely meet your own kind, no matter how much or how little they are, and one day you will meet them. ”
Yeah, one day, it will come across! Just like Jin Weiqi chose to close the "Shanshan" - "Stop if you feel tired while walking, be busy and lost, be quiet, the bustling building will not collapse, and everyone will have a home for three meals and one night." In any case, please follow your inner pace to meet every challenge in life, every encounter in life! Even if it is late, we will eventually meet each other, have a sharp mind, and will no longer be separated.
