Last night, "Saturday Night Live" ushered in the last issue, accompanied everyone for four months of the show, let the laughter fill the whole summer. In addition to the guests and cass in the show, there are more people who are reluctant to accompany the theme song of each program - "Talent Co., Ltd.". In the last episode, the original singer of this song, Kim Hyun-gi, also came to the scene and sang with Kashi to accompany the audience to the end.
When it comes to Jin Weiqi, perhaps someone will know her "Thief of Years", will hear the "Shanshan" shared by friends in the circle of friends, such a girl, she observes all the details of the day and night cycle with the most authentic eyes, and composes ordinary life into songs. Someone commented that "Jin Weiqi's song makes the hangover prodigal son, the rushing passerby, the injured you and I do not have to hide in the night to shed tears and sighs, accompanied by her song, while being understood, while frankly walking back to the real world, taking the next step, to meet tomorrow's sunrise." ”
Special thanks to Talent Limited
Although it is necessary to play the screw
Meritorious achievements are left to greatness to confirm
It's also not too extravagant to make a stepping stone
——Jin Weiqi "Talent Co., Ltd."
The song "Talent Co., Ltd." has made more people know Jin Weiqi. In this song, we once arrived at this place full of infinite opportunities with the most magnificent and ambitious dreams, but we can only do a job that is not salty and not light, clocking in on time every day, taking a limited income, and making the most humble screw. Her songs will always poke at our soft underbelly, puncture our last layer of camouflage, and let us expose the most vulnerable places to the sun and slowly wait for oxidation.
Ms. Kim said she was inspired to write the song one night in 2014 with a friend from a film and television company who was working overtime. Their company's artists are competing for the Best Actress of the Hong Kong Film Awards, and friends are paying attention to the award ceremony while calling and contacting major domestic media. Jin Weiqi looked at her friends who were alone, and only they and the uncle who was mopping the floor were left in the office in the middle of the night, and such a scene suddenly made her feel a lot.
"Choosing a job that you don't want to do is similar to choosing a job you want to do. Solve problems for things you love and feel happy. Solve the problem of not liking things, and you will only feel tired. Jin Weiqi said. Ding DingZhang once asked Jin Weiqi: "Do you believe that talented people will not be buried?" Jin Weiqi paused for a long time and said, "It's not easy to say." Just like the title of the song, "limited talent" is a joke of Jin Weiqi. There used to be more than 60 students in a class, and only 5 people insisted on making music in the end. As an original singer, an ordinary little girl, it seems that it is not easy to find a place in the music world through her own music.
Because this song "Talent Co., Ltd." Kim Hyun-ki received a call from Shrimp Music, they were going to make a special plan for the first anniversary, and the latest single or adaptation of the musician who had appeared in the light was included in the "Search for Light Collection", and "Talent Co., Ltd." became a song that was included in it. In this album, there are many singers who are more famous than Kim Hyun-gi, such as Lee Young-ho, The Good Sister Band, and Escape Plan. However, this song is the most clicked song in it. Later, Shrimp Music contacted Jin Weiqi and launched Jin Weiqi's first album "Perfect World" in 2015, because of this album, Jin Weiqi walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage for the first time, and in this process, she walked for seven years.
Turning to the front of the curtain, Jin Weiqi has become a musician and creative talent loved by young people at the moment, but she will still be evaluated by many people as "singers are not popular", in fact, this seems to be a common disease inherent in many original singers now, and many musicians may only have a few masterpieces left in their lives, and few people who mention singing know. For example, Kim Hyun-ki. Many people first knew Kim Hyun-gi through the song "Thief of Time", which surprised many people with a song written in two hours. Therefore, Jin Weiqi met one of the Bole on his musical road, Chen Sicheng. But then, it is repeated on stage and singing.
When asked "What would you do if this song were your most popular and masterpiece?" Jin Weiqi said, "I hope you can hear something else." "In the words, you can hear the mind. Making music is never a persistent thing, and Jin Weiqi is afraid that others will talk about music too bitterly, because it is just a job for her. Jin Weiqi has never felt that he is red, nor has he ever experienced red, and even if he is anxious, he is also anxious about the content of his music. In the matter of being a singer, she prefers that what she writes and what she does can stay. Even though time flies, if you can survive, you still hope that there are many things that can be settled.
Behind the early morning dining car
The young couple collected money while making breakfast
The people in line pay their wishes
Has eaves to protect it from the wind and rain
--Kim Hyun-ki, "Behind the City"
When it comes to becoming a musician, Kim says it's just a job for himself. Every day, in addition to staying in the recording studio, she wants to go to the movies alone and go to the wet market, because she thinks it is a thing that can reduce stress, and this way of relieving stress seems unique enough. When the pressure is too great, Jin Weiqi will run to the Guomao Bridge, the most congested traffic in Beijing, and look at the surrounding CBD high-rise buildings, as well as the rushing pedestrians and slowly squirming traffic. Or on a non-busy night, drive to the airport, watch the planes take off and land, come and go of the separated couples, and guess their stories from their looks.
"People always say poetry and far away, and for me, living in a city that concerns me feels safe and comfortable." Such a Jin Weiqi makes people feel that she is a little lonely. "Loneliness is good, it's meant to be maintained." She said. At the end of the concert, the signing was over, all the staff withdrew from the room and left, at that moment, it was very empty, and after the prosperity, the rest was the end of loneliness.
This sense of loneliness comes from the experience of Jin Weiqi as a child, when his parents divorced when he was 5 years old, Jin Weiqi, who lived with his mother, came from Jiangxi to Heilongjiang to study and learn piano. Moms who work in the trade rarely have time to spend with her. It is precisely because of this period of time that Jin Weiqi has developed the habit of observing details. "I grew up in a private school, rarely spent time with my family, enjoyed listening to music, and often wore headphones to observe people walking back and forth around." She spent her entire summer watching every story unfold. She probably didn't think at the time that this would be a way to collect musical inspiration in the future.
Therefore, the later Jin Weiqi wrote the song "Behind the City", which collects every corner of the city that seems to be warm, and the lyrics are calm and firm, so that you and I who have been scarred by the impact of reality feel healed and soothed in the helpless night.
We stayed on February 13
Two people stop at liking
Suppose not in love
Whether or not there is no resentment
I'd rather you're perfect for regret
- Jin Weiqi, "13"
In addition to pedestrians, the stories of friends have also become part of Kim's inspiration gathering. In front of her friends, Kim is happy to play a listener, and the most successful thing about a secret keeper is writing the story into the song. This "13" is the story of Kim Hyun-gi's friend who has a long-distance relationship, two lovers who like each other but can't be together. Regarding the lyrics of "We live on February 13th, two people stop at liking", Jin Weiqi said: "Two people are not in the same place, there is a difference in age, looking at hopeless love, but none of them is willing to give up work and go to each other's cities, and now everyone lives too much." So I can only live in 'February 13', and never until February 14 Valentine's Day. ”
Jin Weiqi also used "Earth-shattering" to bid farewell to his nine-year relationship experience, and after tears, he was left with the courage to find light in the darkness. After "earth-shattering", it is not to face the loneliness of lost love, but to face the shock of the world again.
All of Jin Weiqi's songs come from life, she will start fantasies about writing "Decoration" because of the noise from the old couple who are renovating downstairs, and will use "Bride Ah Hua" to express her desire for marriage. Some people say that "Jin Weiqi left tears, decadence, and self-healing in his own safe haven." Instead, she wants to be strong, optimistic, and interesting to others."
In my opinion, Jin Weiqi is real but not ordinary, under such a record industry, Jin Weiqi can treat himself sincerely, understand what others will be sad about, and after all the confusion and grief are dissipated, he will gently pat his shoulder and say to you, "Cry if you want to cry, tomorrow you always have to smile, if you feel tired, stop it." ”
In such a city, I am grateful for the emergence of such a small you, a you who is struggling to move forward, who uses musical notes to cook life, and who yearns to hurry up with you.
