After the "Fantasy Eye Band" performed, it was the turn of Wu Bai and his "ChinaBlue Band".
Wu Bai is a very affectionate person. After many people become famous, they will choose to abandon their little brothers and go solo.
As for Wu Bai, his "ChinaBlue" has been with him for decades and has never changed.
Wu Bai didn't have many classic songs at this time. After taking the stage, he first sang "Falling in Love with Others is a Happy Thing".
Wu Bai is good at blues and rock, and the style of this song is blues rock that combines the two.
The song has a strong sense of rhythm. Under the background of the live atmosphere, all the audience can't help but shake their heads along with the drum beat.
If you cannot understand this behavior, you will think that it is a group of drugged lunatics.
The second song is "Betrayal". This song has the same rhythm as the previous one. The audience is still shaking their heads and shaking their heads just like the previous song, which is very exciting.
Especially the last solo part, I almost shook my head.
For the third song, Wu Bai said: "Bringing you a new song, "Roman Love Song"!"
"The Love Song of Ronin" can be said to be Wu Bai's masterpiece, and it even became his label for a time.
But the audience tonight came to listen to rock music and were not very interested in this popular song, so the effect was not as good as the previous two songs.
Wu Bai did not expect to be silent. After singing, he walked off the stage angrily.
However, Yang Ye was very moved by it and even sang along. Li Binbin said curiously: "Godfather, isn't this a new song? How can you sing it?"
Yang Ye is more than just He can sing, this was his must-play at KTV in his previous life.
Yang Ye smiled and said: "The melody is so simple, you can understand it after listening to it once."
Yang Ye just found an excuse to cover up, but Li Binbin felt that his godfather's memory was really super, awesome!
Gigi Lai hummed a few words and said, "This song is catchy and I think it's pretty good, but people don't seem to like it very much!"
Yang Ye explained: “It’s a good blues number, but tonight’s theme is rock. Almost all rock enthusiasts from Hong Kong are here tonight, including those from the mainland, Taiwan and other places. It’s normal for them not to be interested in this song.”
Yang Ye was chatting with two girls, and the announcer said. Shouted: "We invite Dou Wei, the dream band!"
Dou Wei threw down the cigarette butt in his hand and said to the others: "Brother, go up first!"
As soon as Dou Wei came on stage, everyone was a little confused.
The lead singers of the two previous bands both had long hair. Liu Weiren, the lead singer of "Phantom Eyes Band", also permed his hair to imitate his idol Brian May.
This guy Dou Wei is wearing a suit and has short, smart hair. He doesn't look like a rock singer at all, but like a business person.
Dou Wei had a falling out with the other members of the Black Panther band and formed his own "Dream Band".
He chose this name because he felt: "Everyone has their own dream. The process of realizing this dream is equivalent to having a dream, so I feel that everyone is living in a dream!"
Because of Yang When Ye went to the United States to attend the "Save Life" concert a few years ago, he listened to "Shameless", which is known as the number one rock song in mainland China.
Without "No Place to Shame" and without Dou Wei, the Black Panther band was in a very difficult situation.
Dou Wei's first song was "Advanced Animals".
As the drum beat sounded, red and purple lights flashed alternately on the stage, rendering the entire scene into a psychedelic, weird, and even a bit scary atmosphere.
In such an atmosphere, Dou Wei was like a monk, holding a microphone and starting to chant: "Contradiction, hypocrisy, greed, deception, fantasy, doubt, simplicity, fickleness..."
The two people around Yang Ye The girls were all stunned. Li Binbin was a teacher. She couldn't help but said: "He is Are you endorsing it?"
Yang Ye was a little embarrassed by Li Binbin's words, but he still explained: "He used these words to summarize the characteristics of human beings."
Dou Wei. After reading forty-eight words in one breath, a sudden "ouch" sounded in his voice, and Yang Ye burst into laughter.
The two girls looked at Yang Ye in confusion, wondering why he was smiling.
Yang Ye explained: "You haven't heard this song, so you don't understand. After this guy reads these words, he will say 'I, my God, a high-level animal' to show ridicule. But he is too nervous. I forgot the words, so I just...screamed and got over it."
Gigi Lai looked at Dou Wei who was expressionless on the stage and continued to chant sutras, feeling a little suspicious. He said in bewilderment: "But I feel that he is very calm!"
"He is just calm on the surface, but actually he is quite panicked inside."
Dou Wei let out a cry, and then read: "Hell and heaven are all in this world!"
Then he recited the lyrics again, followed by a burst of human voices, howling like ghosts and wolves, howling endlessly.
Yang Ye suddenly discovered that in later generations there was a man named Hua who also liked to scream ghostly on stage. Could it be that he learned it from Dou Wei?
Dou Wei screamed for a while, until his throat almost split open, and then roared: "Where is happiness? Where is happiness? Where is happiness..."
Gigi Lai couldn't hear clearly. So, this is also called a song?
Li Binbin heard a little bit of the meaning and listened silently. He even felt a little cold all over. He couldn't help but lean on Yang Ye's body, seeking a bit of warmth.
This song "Advanced Animals", in the eyes of many people in later generations, is just a pretender who memorizes the text.
But in fact it is an experimental work that combines vision and hearing.
It uses blurred lights, low bass, and restless drum beats to metaphorize that turbulent era.
Under the sun, everything is psychedelic. Hell and heaven are all on earth.
Gigi Lai is a Hong Konger and doesn’t understand rock music, so she feels very bored.
But Li Binbin, like Dou Wei, lives in the Mainland and knows music himself, so he figured out something interesting.
To appreciate a work or understand a person, one must be familiar with the field in which he or she lives, or the era in which he or she lives.
Otherwise, it’s just indifferent.
For example, there was a horror movie in the Mainland in this era called "The Lonely Man in the Dark Mansion". From the perspective of future generations, this movie is not scary at all, and even a bit ridiculous, but "The Lonely Man in the Black Mansion" was scary to death. Extraordinary.
Because for people who have experienced that era, this movie is the ultimate nightmare.
In fact, visual horror is not real horror. The real horror is the absurdity and terror based on human nature from the heart.
"Advanced Animals" has this quality. Li Binbin felt an inexplicable fear while listening to it.
She wanted to seek protection, so she couldn't help but fall into Yang Ye's arms.
Yang Ye hugged the little beauty in his arms. He didn't expect Dou Wei's song to have this effect and give him assists.
Gi Zi was impatient when she suddenly saw Li Binbin getting into Yang Ye's arms, and she couldn't help but become jealous.
Yang Ye felt that he could not favor one person against another, so he also hugged Gigi Lai and said in her ear: "Don't make trouble, she is scared."
Gigi Lai stared at her big eyes and asked in confusion: "Afraid?"
Yang Ye kissed her gently on the face and said: "Well, she understood the song and was looking for comfort. "
Dou Wei brought a tambourine over, shook the tambourine, and started singing the second song "Oh, Be Good".
This is the first reggae music in mainland China, and it is very complete. As soon as this song came out, many audiences recognized his talent.
Yang Ye hugged the two little beauties and felt very comfortable watching Dou Xianer show off on the stage.
"Oh, Be Good" is sung in a serious manner, unlike the previous "Advanced Animals" where the text is memorized.
But as he was singing, this guy suddenly started to chirp again, wondering what he was saying.
Yang Ye laughed again. It turned out that Dou Wei had forgotten his lyrics again, so he started to fool around with his ghostly screams.
After a few words, I still couldn’t remember the words, so I simply stopped singing and ran to the stage to play the keyboard. In the audience, Wang Fei's eyes lit up.
In this time and space, Wang Fei did not have a miserable life because he was discovered by Yang Ye early.
But she became very popular as soon as she debuted, and her life was smooth sailing, so she was not familiar with Dou Wei.
But since we are all from the capital, we naturally feel close to each other.
The queen found that this young man was quite talented. He wrote such distinctive songs, and he could play the tambourine and keyboard. She was actually a little excited.
When I waited for the third song "Black Dream", I returned to a little bit of the previous style, with chanting and various human voices to create a dreamlike feeling.
After two songs, the audience gradually became familiar with Dou Wei's style and accepted his music. They all shook their heads to the rhythm as if they were on drugs.
Especially the guests in the front row, all fell into the dream that Dou Wei created for them, shaking almost crazy.
"Thank you!" Dou Wei finished singing and calmly walked off the stage.
“Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!”
“Pah, pah, pah, pah!”
The audience woke up from their dream and gave him a burst of crazy shouts and a burst of warm applause.
After the "Phantom Eyes Band" and "ChinaBlue" finished their performances, they sat in the audience and watched other guest performances.
Zhu Jianhui, the leader and bassist of "ChinaBlue", is a Burmese Chinese who came to Taiwan to pursue his music dream as an adult.
He watched Dou Wei's performance and felt incredible: "I always thought that Chinese music was in Taiwan, but I didn't expect that there was such great rock music in the mainland."
Drummer of "Phantom Eyes Band" He is a Chinese from Madagascar who also came to Taiwan to pursue his dream. Hearing this, he agreed.
The drummer of "ChinaBlue" is a white American. He felt even more incredible: "Didn't you hear that mainland China is very closed-minded? How could such music be produced?"
Wu Bai chatted with Zhang Peiren and knew a little bit, and said: "The mainland bands that came to perform today are all underground bands. Before Zhang Peiren found them, many of them didn't even have enough to eat and had nothing but a rock and roll dream."
Then he said with a somewhat envious tone. : " Even so, they can make the music they want, and we must consider market acceptance and be responsible to the record company."
Liu Weiren said: "In fact, although this kind of music is not commercial enough, It’s hard to sell well, but the atmosphere he creates live is unmatched by our music. As a rock fan, I envy them.”
Two Taiwanese bands were chatting in the audience. By the end of the day, Dou Wei had returned to the backstage, and it was Zhang Chu's turn to appear.
Dou Wei asked Zhang Chu: "Brother, are you nervous?"
Zhang Chu said: "Nervous!"
Dou Wei sighed: "I was nervous just now."
Dou Wei admitted that he was nervous, but Zhang Chu felt much more relaxed.
Because he thinks Dou Wei is very awesome. Since Dou Wei is nervous, it is normal for him to be nervous.
Zhang Chu came on stage, placed a high stool on the stage, and sat on the stool.
A cheerful and melodious violin sound sounded, and Zhang Chu sang: "This is a season of love, and the air is filled with the smell of lovers..."
The audience was stunned, rock and roll still Can you play like this? Are you sure you're not a folk singer?
Zhang Chu sang a few words and became nervous again. Although he did not forget the words like Dou Wei, he huddled in the chair and held his trousers tightly with his fingers, like an autistic child.
As for the impression that ordinary people have on rock singers, he is completely opposite here.
Many singers claim to be rock 'n' roll, growing their hair long, perming and curling their hair, and have a bold and unruly personality.
This guy has a crew cut, wears a plaid shirt, and is kind to others. His unruliness is hidden.
I ran away from home at the age of 10 and wandered around.
How difficult was it to get into college in those days? He passed the exam and dropped out.
At that time, he was less than twenty years old, and he had no understanding of normal life and social phenomena: "Why does it have to be like this?"
For example, he couldn't stand the job he was assigned, the pursuit of getting married and having children, and graduating from college.
So he gave up his studies and went to Beijing to drift with his guitar on his back.
In the 1980s and 1990s, there were many theater crews in Beijing, and many young artists from Beijing liked to work on the crews.
You can not only make a living, but also accumulate some social experience and life experience.
Zhang Chu worked part-time on a film crew, making props.
The production director of that crew was Zhang Jizhong, and Zhang Chu called Zhang Jizhong "uncle" according to the custom in his hometown.
Zhang Bearded criticized him: "It's not easy to get into college, you should still go to school!"
Zhang Chu didn't understand these people's persuasion: "I don't like it, why should I go to school? ”
Some people in this era seem to pay more attention to their inner experience.
And dismissive of what society attaches to them.
They think it's very important whether they like it or not.
If you like something, do it. If you don’t like it, don’t do it. The other reasons don’t matter. Even if this matter will affect the future or something, I don't care about it.
For example, Zhang Chu, a good CCTV host, doesn’t want to go to college, so he has to go homeless. There is also Wei Hua, who mentioned before, who doesn’t want to be a good CCTV host, but wants to engage in rock music.
In the eyes of the world, this is definitely a big sand dollar, but they themselves think it is normal.
In short, they believe that society's moral concepts cannot override the individual's heart, and must be "me"-oriented and follow what the "heart" wants.
With the development of the times, the entire society is becoming more conservative and more and more regressive.
When future generations evaluate a person online, it is not about what he has done or achieved.
Instead, use a magnifying glass to search his private affairs to see if there are any black spots in him.
If you catch a black spot, you will be labeled as having incorrect views and beaten to death with a stick.
For example, Jin Yong is a scumbag who abandoned his wife, and Qiong Yao is the mistress of a bad family.
Whether their works are wonderful or not, how many people they have accompanied have been wiped out.
Yang Ye didn’t like that era, because in that environment, the quality of the works didn’t matter. Celebrities made money by creating their own personas and cutting off their fans.
And Yang Ye feels that as an audience, one should pay more attention to the quality of the work.
Because what you want to see is, do you like a work not because it is good-looking, but because the creator has a good personality? Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?
……
Zhang Chu, like an autistic child, sat on the stool cautiously, singing his songs one after another.
Actually, his voice condition is not very good, and his singing is not very good, but for some reason, the audience feels very excited.
After he finished singing one song, the audience cheered.
And he himself does not communicate with the audience at all, as if those audiences have nothing to do with him.
The audience shouts what the audience calls, and he sings his.
The more Gigi listened, the more interesting she found it, and said to her, "He's so funny, he doesn't pay attention to anyone."
Yang Ye hummed and said with a smile, "This is an autistic child. I'll return it later." There is a manic-depressive young man!”(End of Chapter)
