In 2003, Liang Long, a 26-year-old boy in the northeast, suddenly received a phone call that said: "Faye Wong wants to see you and asks you to bring the CD!" ”
Liang Long went to see Faye Wong. At that time, Faye Wong was already a "queen of heaven", and at the age of 34, she was in a chaotic period of transition from Nicholas Tse to Li Yapeng.
And Liang Long is the lead singer of the band "Second-hand Rose", and his career has risen and fallen like a roller coaster full of uneasiness.
Later, Faye Wong and Liang Long had a dinner party, and after the dinner was separated, the two made a long phone call with deep affection and formally established a delicate relationship.
In the days of exchanging Tang poems with Faye Wong, Liang Long quickly realized the huge gap between the two.
Faye Wong likes to go to bars, but the goddess has never had the habit of bringing money. And Liang Long, as a grandfather, also has a good face, every time he has to find a friend to borrow money, for a long time, although his physical strength is supported, his financial strength is getting worse and worse...
Another time, Liang Long told Faye Wong that he lived in Wangjing, and Faye Wong asked him without even thinking about it: Which villa do you live in?
Liang Long realized that people were "queens of heaven", and he was just a poor boy, recalling his difficulties over the years, feeling a thousand emotions and being embarrassed.

Liang Long was born in Qiqihar in 1977, but he liked music since he was a child, but his fate was uncertain, and at the age of 20, he still sold cosmetics in the Hundred Flowers Free Market, which laid the groundwork for his relationship with beauty.
But Liang Long is a pure master after all, he does not want to do this, his dream is to go to the Beijing Midi Music School to learn music and become a rock musician.
Once he went to Beijing to buy goods, and found out that the school system of the Midi School was changed to two years, and the tuition fee was tens of thousands, but his parents were ordinary workers, and there was no money to support him to make music, so he wanted to do his own business to make money.
Seeing that some people in the suburbs of Beijing make money doing wild vegetable business, he also entered the goods, but when he went to the station, he only saw a pile of wet cardboard boxes, the dishes could not be sold, and finally lost the pants pocket cleaner than the face, and returned to the northeast hungry for 3 months.
When he was rubbed on the ground by God and his nose was blue and swollen, his former vocational school principal introduced him to a job and asked him to go to a hotel in Harbin as a security guard.
Chinese New Year's Eve night, 4 people drew lots, Liang Long drew the sign to stay on duty, there were only a few little girls in the lobby watching TV, liang Long sat alone outside.
Listening to the "Meet 1998" by the goddess Faye Wong and her compatriot Na Ying on TV, Liang Long was very sad, he thought that he was too sad, he wanted to make a band, he wanted to go to Beijing, he couldn't succeed, he had a good year, but he could only be a security guard in Harbin, and he couldn't even go home for the New Year...
So he decided to give himself a long memory, the way is: take out the red river smoke in his pocket, burn the smoke scar on his right arm, light 5 cigarettes in one breath, burn a whole 20 scars, and smell the burnt meat through the clothes...
Then the next day, he regretted it, because he was afraid of being seen by the leader, he put on the sleeve, and at night, the sleeve stuck to the arm and could not take it off, the pain of tearing the skin and flesh, Liang Long endured for half a year...
God looked at it: Say I'm fierce, this person is more fierce than me, he's so fierce that he even burns himself... There is no way, this kind of lifeless or less trouble is better, so the hand is loose, and I lost an opportunity to give him.

In 1998, the fire of rock music reached Harbin, just like Wan Xiaodao was still writing novels amateurs when he was a security guard, Liang Long also found 3 people when he was a security guard, and then called his fellow sun Baoqi to form a "black camera band" together.
At this time, the wave of layoffs broke out, everyone was in danger, only Liang Long and Sun Baoqi had jobs among the 5 people, and everyone relied on them to support themselves, and as a result, they fought, and then they were expelled from the hotel...
Harbin was also spared the year of major floods that affected 29 Chinese provinces and 223 million people.
Liang Long's friends were involved in the flood control work, and he asked the leader for instructions to let Liang Long and his band perform to boost morale. Unexpectedly, this turned out to be the only performance of the "Black Shot Band".
After the performance, forced by the pressure of survival, everyone flew separately in a big difficult situation, some went to Hainan to do business, some went to Inner Mongolia to go to the cave... Liang Long, on the other hand, plans to go to Beijing again and impact his "rock and roll dream".
This 21-year-old young man, with a lot of enthusiasm, obviously did not recognize the situation at that time and his own strength.
First of all, the decline within rock, the Black Panther Band changed countless lead singers, Zhang Chu could not write songs, Dou Wei no longer opened his mouth, He Yong had mental problems, which was enough to show that rock and roll could not blossom in China at that time...
Before Liang Long rushed into the rock circle, rock music had already entered the cold winter, so this "north drift" was naturally fruitless.
And Liang Long himself did not find the right way, he used to love to listen to the songs of Black Panther, Tang Dynasty, and Cui Jian, and the things he wrote were only "second-hand goods".
He returned to Harbin again with a gray face, and it happened that the two brothers who had gone to Inner Mongolia to go to the cave before were also desperate to return to their hometown, and the three of them got together again and went to the accountant's house of the brigade together.
The cries of crickets, cicadas and frogs replaced the whistles of cars in the city. In the countryside, Liang Long also occasionally played songs on red and white weddings, and gradually, it seemed to open up the second vein of Ren Dou, and most of the songs on the later debut album were completed at this time.
Once, when they were rehearsing in the courtyard, Liang Long asked the passing girl to casually say 3 numbers, and she blurted out: "6, 4, 3." Liang Long suddenly burst into inspiration, and it took only 20 minutes to write "Picking Flowers".
Another time, he saw an old couple picking melons, the old lady was there to ridicule the old man, Liang Long saw that this thief was interesting, he could also laugh at rock music, so there was the song "Trick".
After writing 10 songs in 22 days, Liang Long pondered giving the band a new name, and the "second-hand rose" was born. "Second-hand" is a satire on the phenomenon of plagiarism at that time, and "rose" represents their yearning for girls.
At the end of 1999, they went to harbin for the second rock festival. The organizers saw that these young people were dressed in rags, a little different treatment, and sent 20 meat buns to all the bands, but not to "second-hand roses".
At the moment, Liang Long had a sense of humiliation that he was looked down upon, and he went out to drink to relieve his boredom, determined to do a good job in this performance and "blow up" the whole field.
He picked up the sugar paper next to him, braided it on his long hair, borrowed lipstick with the girl, painted his lips, drew eyeliner, and went directly to the stage...
A northeastern grandfather who is five years old and three thick has a face full of enchanting makeup and a long braid. A song called "Picking Flowers" stole the limelight from all the bands, and the audience at the bottom excitedly said, "Isn't this ethnic punk?!" ”
After this accident, God pushed Liang Long onto a path he had never thought about.
Four
In 2000, 23-year-old Liang Long went to Daqing's buddies for a drink, and after drinking, he spoke wildly to his brothers- and daughters-in-law.
In the evening, Liang Long was still drinking at the wine table, and the brothers came again with his daughter-in-law, one sitting on his left and the other sitting on the right, all next to him. Liang Long had not yet returned to his senses, a small knife was on his thigh, he did not dare to move, let the brothers and daughters-in-law cut him into a "yin and yang head".
Consciously drunk and gaffing, Liang Long did not dare to say anything more, simply went to the hair salon himself and pushed his hair clean.
With a polished bald head, Liang Long went to Beijing for the third time, and this time, the unlucky Liang Long finally transferred.
Before the performance, the drummer went to the plus-size shoe store and bought him a pair of red high heels for 50 yuan.
Liang Long wore heavy makeup, wore a cheongsam, and pedaled the red high heels of size 44 to the stage, and said a powerful sentence lightly:
"Big brother, you play rock, what's the use of you playing it?"
After that performance, due to the unique northeast duo's taste and the charming outfit of the lead singer, the circle people jokingly called them "a strange hand reaching into the capital", many bars came to him to sing, and when the Chinese Super League competition was resting, they were also asked to sing.
During this time, Liang Long positioned his image as a "Shanghai dancer", often unable to find someone to help with makeup, and he fooled around in his face.
When the domestic rock music was not picked up, the hands of the "second-hand roses" not only reached into the capital, but also directly reached abroad, they went to Switzerland to perform, and foreigners shouted at them with Chinese to "come on".
But it was not long before the "SARS" momentum came, and the previous efforts were in vain, but Liang Long caught up with Faye Wong.
It's just that Wang Fei He Xuren, before there is Xie Tingfeng, after there is Li Yapeng, are far from Liang Long can compare... The two people whose strength, financial resources, and influence were not equal soon came to an end.
Faye Wong probably didn't want to embarrass Liang Long, so she thoughtfully asked Xie Tingfeng to continue the frontier (for details, see Wan Xiaodao's public account past selection: "Faye Wong's Love History"), and this dragonfly-dot-water relationship ended, lasting only a few months.
Both of them were silent about this, which became a secret story of "rolling circles", until many years later, when he was on "The Vicious Liang Huan Show", Liang Long personally admitted it.
Liang Long described it as a "misty marriage", and also said with a grudge: "Don't engage with celebrities, because you will always remember her, she will never look at you!" ”
After SARS, Liang Long's love suffered a setback, and God saw that he was no more than that, so he arranged the tribulations for him again.

In 2005, Guan Hu filmed the TV series "Migrant Workers of Survival", invited Tao Zeru, invited Huang Bo, and invited "Second-hand Rose" to sing the theme song.
Liang Long, who is also a bit of baby fat, sang the song "Survival", the lyrics "The days will not always be sunny, and the harvest of the years is more sour than vinegar", which has become a true portrayal of the band.
At that time, it was a big hit for talent shows such as "Super Girl", and the Chinese music scene entered the draft era, there was no market for rock, and there was no road for cars.
In this context, even if "Second-hand Rose" has won awards in the field of rock and roll, there is almost no material reward except for being able to drink with the rock predecessors who were previously worshipped, and even a decent car cannot be bought.
What's more, as the first rock band to hold a concert in the North Exhibition and succeed, the mentality of the members of the band has changed, and many people have drifted away, thinking that they are "rock superstars".
Once, at 3:30 a.m. to rehearse, Liang Long went first by himself, waiting for 1 hour and no one came. He took the bus back to a friend's house and texted everyone saying that the band would stop first, that he couldn't do it himself, that it was too hard.
At this time, he himself also fell into a bottleneck in music, and put his mind on engaging in contemporary art, participating in various art exhibitions, and the artistic cells were fully activated...
In 2007, 30-year-old Liang Long met a Korean girl when doing an exhibition, the two did not speak the same language, but the heart was connected, the communication was mainly body language and English, supplemented by Chinese and Korean, one after another, and soon got together.
In the same year, Liang Long wore red high heels for 7 years and couldn't walk at all, and every time he wore these pairs, he had already been soaked in sweat, and he thought to himself: "Forget it, throw it away, get a new one!" ”
There happened to be an art exhibition to attend, and a painter asked him to carry this pair of shoes out of the country. After returning, Liang Long had a feeling of being opened up by ren dou ermai, and he took a group photo of the shoes, Chinese "broken shoes", the English name "lover".
After constantly colliding with art, God took advantage of the situation and arranged another logical path for Liang Long.

One day, guitarist Yao Lan found Liang Long and said, "You can't throw music away, you are an artist every day, what should we do?" ”
Confused for two years, Liang Long picked up the band again, this time the inspiration once again hit his Tianling cover, he thought that he could combine music and art, launched the "you are in the Red Chamber, I am traveling to the west" activity, invited many musicians to cover the "Dream of the Red Chamber" and "Journey to the West" in the old songs.
When the artist got used to it, Liang Long thought of an idea again, making these songs into a picture book, and stitching music and art together.
He printed more than 2,000 copies, spent thirty or forty thousand, and as a result, the album had copyright problems and could not be sold, so he paid the band members out of his own pocket, and after everyone's salaries were paid, Liang Long's family foundation was once again hollowed out.
However, it is gratifying that the Korean girlfriend did not dislike him, and the two married very low-key.
After marriage, after years of baptism, in December 2013, "Second-hand Rose" held a "Rock Useless" concert in the workers' body, which means "rock useless, useless".
At the scene, Liang Long wore a huge headdress, a sentence of "second-hand roses, workers, pick-ups", the bottom instantly became a sea of two people turning, the audience was wearing red and green flower cloth, red and green fans flew over, twisted up the big rice song...
A band can live for 5 to 8 years, basically can leave a name in the history of Chinese rock, but Liang Long feels that it is completely insufficient, he wants to leave a name in the history of Chinese culture.
So, he spent money to make "art records" and hold "rock sports", resulting in poverty always following him.
The team members were a little upset and said, "We know your character and your pursuit of art, but we also have to eat, we can't just stay in our dreams." ”
In fact, Liang Long has many opportunities to get rich, some people want to buy "second-hand rose" cultural brand, Liang Long cherishes feathers, did not agree. The agency wanted him to fly solo, and it was easier to win a person than a band, and he didn't agree.
After terminating his contract with Modern Sky, Liang Long simply flew alone with "second-hand roses" and set up a studio, recruiting many young people to come in.
It was these young people who came up with a "bad move" against Liang Long.
Seven
For many years, Liang Long has been practicing the lyrics of his first album", "Trick": "I must learn a new showmanship, so that you will continue to like it." 」 ”
In 2016, the 39-year-old Liang Long made a guest appearance on "Vicious Liang Huanxiu", bluntly saying that his least favorite rock band was "Mayday" and did not know what he was singing.
As soon as the show aired, Liang Long was immediately violently attacked by the Internet, and the fans of "Mayday" said: "You play something so low, what qualifications do you have to judge the first day of the Chinese group?" As a result, Liang Long had to apologize publicly.
In 2017, the 40-year-old Liang Long made a cameo appearance as the "dog brother" in "Father and Son", saying only 5 sentences in total, taking his first step across the border.
In 2018, Liang Long played the "Dragon Teacher" in "Back to the South Heaven", eating a roadside stall in Baishizhou and staying in a hotel that was still noisy at night. After filming for a month, the conditions were quite difficult, but Liang Long was very happy.
In the same year, Huang Jiaqiang, the younger brother of Huang Jiaju, launched the "Happy" Concert to Commemorate the 25th Anniversary of Huang Jiaju, and invited "Second-hand Rose" to perform at the Workers' Stadium.
Unexpectedly, before the performance was finished, the fans below frantically shouted: "Get down! Get down! ”
"Second-hand Rose" spent a month adapting Huang Jiaju's "Invincible" and "The Earth", but was scolded by fans as "800 stream band", "shemale" and "blasphemous"...
However, Liang Long did not care about this, 19 years after his debut, he had never seen any big winds and waves, "What you do with sex, nothing else matters." ”
This year, after "Pancake Man", "Easy + Happy", and "Father and Son Soldier", Ning Hao also found Liang Long and asked him to score "Crazy Alien".
Liang Longxin wrote a song, Ning Hao was not satisfied, he wanted the melody of the song "Destiny". As soon as he made it, Ning Hao was satisfied, but Liang Long's friend said that he was a bit confused.
Liang Long also had to do the soundtrack of the whole movie, just looking for clues for four or five months, he didn't want to do it, quarreled with Ning Hao, almost fell out. In the end, after watching the movie hundreds of times and spending 8 months, Liang Long finally completed the project.
A year later, Liang Long played a nest man "Old Left" in "No Problem with Thoughts", Liang Long, who had been bald for many years, grew a small curly hair, before he was a "rock godmother" who "didn't talk much", and became a middle-aged man who was beaten by the old, and the film was also shortlisted for the three major domestic film festivals.
After enough acting addiction, Liang Long's directorial addiction has also come up, he is determined to be a director without unspoken rules, and has made two short films "Old Iron" and "Great Destiny".
"I want to blossom, I want to sprout, I want the spring wind and rain", Liang Long loves to toss, and he goes to each area of interest to toss it over and over again.
At this time, the young people of the company thought of "loss moves" for him, and finally came late.

In April 2019, the young people in Liang Long's team saw Li Jiaqi selling lipstick so hot, in the end, it is also the number of men's makeup, and Liang Long has been making makeup for 20 years, which can be regarded as the "grandfather of the beauty industry", they encouraged Liang Long to also shoot beauty videos.
Liang Long waved his hand and said, "Biting my lip is a bit difficult for me, I can't do it."
The young man did not spare and continued to persuade for more than a month, and Liang Long decided to try. He found a non-fat angle and took a day to shoot an issue.
In June, Liang Long's first beauty video was launched, and he did not expect to directly fire out of the circle.
In the video, he said: "I made semi-permanent eyebrows in Korea" "I especially like the eyeliner of a stare"... Everyone is happy to see that this middle-aged uncle is still quite interesting, so they have paid attention to him.
This made Liang Long a little happy, but also a little embarrassed: he painstakingly operated Weibo for more than ten years and only saved 300,000 fans, and it took only 2 months to shoot beauty videos to rise by 70,000 fans...
Later, Liang Long, who became the "first beauty of the rolling circle", also developed his own lipstick number.
Also in 2019, "Summer of the Band" became a blockbuster variety show, but there was no "second-hand rose" in the show, and everyone was curious about why. In fact, the program team has looked for them 3 times before.
The second time was Ma Dong personally looking for Liang Long, who said: "In the post-industrial era, it is the turn of rock and roll. ”
Liang Long was impressed by the insistence of the program group, but still refused, he wanted to do the band for 20 years, how can he mix with a judge, when the students are too depressed.
He also wanted "subversive" programs, such as "The students killed the teacher, and the 4 teachers ended up in a five-body, saying that we did this in vain..."
Not on the show, Liang Long is not idle, he is working intensively to prepare for the "Road of Ten Thousand People" tour.
Its predecessor was the "Rock and Roll Listing" in 2017, and Liang Long issued an "equity card" to each fan who bought tour tickets, with which he could watch the "Road of Ten Thousand People" tour for free, which was equivalent to buying a ticket to see two performances.
This summer, Liang Long did not appear on "The Summer of the Band", he ran 15 cities, sweating in different lands, and God saw him fight so hard, which gave him an unexpected return.

This year, the 43-year-old Liang Long transformed himself, took off his skirt, put on a suit, and went to "Children of Tomorrow 4" as a mentor and became a "teaching director".
He didn't go because he wanted to be a judge. He felt a midlife crisis 5 years ago and couldn't write a song, so he wanted to stay with young people and listen to their real voices...
He took the young people to watch movies with him, soaked in the bathhouse, and danced the girl group dance himself.
In the show, there was a contestant who blew his voice, and everyone was very excited to see it. Liang Long is very envious and very happy, when he played like this, he was scolded by a group of people as "pseudo-rock", and now there are so many people who like folk music, which is a good thing.
After participating in the program, Liang Long left a message for the children: "Truly creative orchestras, we must remember that in music, it is the one who learns from me to live, like me to die, you must become your own hands." ”
Thinking back to that year, on the night of the burning cigarette scar, Liang Long, a 21-year-old young security guard, swore a poisonous oath, saying: "If you can't be a valuable person at the age of 40, you will make up 20 more for yourself." ”
Today, Liang Long is over 40 years old, the jianghu people call "rock godmother", the beauty career has also done well, and he has become a director, when he looks back on the past, he no longer has to worry about the failure of the "misty marriage"!
