Chapter 446: Portrait (Medium)

In the three or four years that no one knew about Han Jue, it is said that he was seen singing on the opening day of an unknown restaurant, and the waiter was shouting to enter the restaurant for a 20% discount. Someone saw Han Jue dancing in a bar with a bad reputation, and someone splashed him with wine under the stage, so he threw the microphone and jumped down to fight with several people. Some people also said that they had seen Han Jue at a small party, Han Jue sang and danced on the stage, and the people below took pictures while laughing.

Like all out-of-fashion stars who quickly faded out of people's sight, Han Jue also took advantage of the glory of the past to live a life that was not worth mentioning.

"I did suffer a lot during that time, materially, spiritually, and the gap was too great. Everything around me reminds me that I'm a fool, and that it tastes absolutely unpleasant. Han Jue shook his head.

When asked how he endured that hard time, Han Jue said that he found only two things in the world that made his life worthwhile, "love and art".

Han Jue fell in love for the first time in his life during those abandoned days.

Han Jue has been outstanding since he was a child, and he is faster than his peers, coupled with his senseless attitude towards life, Han Jue is very popular with girls everywhere. One girl after another, willingly followed Han Jue's side, followed Han Jue when he fought, and followed Han Jue when he skipped school. Han Jue doesn't care, he only cares about his own business, and rejects all intimate relationships. After a long time, the girls knew that they were hopeless, some chose to leave, and some continued to insist, in order to open the golden stone with sincerity. But in the end, after a few years, no one could become Han Jue's girlfriend.

Until Han Jue thought he had nothing, he met a girl who made him "feel that the world was not completely bad" and fell in love for the first time.

"If someone hadn't told me it was love, I would have thought it was a naked sword. Han Jue's words said the sharpness and fiery love.

When we choose our lover, we are actually choosing what kind of person we want to become.

Han Jue bluntly said that his girlfriend was almost perfect, and in the days they got along, it watered Han Jue's dry heart, and at the same time changed the way he got along with the world.

Under the influence of his girlfriend, Han Jue began to have extensive contact with art. Read books, watch movies, listen to music, learn music production, learn to write, learn to write scripts, learn to draw, and even learn foreign languages.

He said that the so-called human growth is actually "the constant discovery that the unique experiences of individuals are only part of the universal human experience."

None of Han Jue's current friends have seen his girlfriend, and Han Jue doesn't want to talk about her too much because of the past. So much so that Han Jue's girlfriend has always existed in legends in his circle of friends.

Han Jue's first love ended abruptly. "Break up suddenly," Han Jue smiled.

This time and experience is precious. In terms of personality, Han Jue's edge has changed from external to introverted, and it is only half soft. In terms of creation, the emotional experience and the hardships he has endured in the past few years have finally become gifts, and they have all become his creative nutrients.

After three years of no one's attention, Han Jue plans to make a comeback.

The comeback is not to sweep the entertainment industry and regain his former glory, but because he owes a lot of money to the bank, and he really can't receive commercial performances, has no income, and has to come out for activities. Therefore, the goal of the comeback is very clear, that is, to pay off the debt, retire from now on, occasionally take on some work, earn some extra money, and live your own small life by eating copyright.

Last summer, Han Jue relied on the resources of his agent to appear on the stage of "Tucao Show" after many years, and became famous as soon as he "vomited". A Han Jue, whose image was completely different from the past, appeared.

For Han Jue's comeback, not many people take it seriously.

Even Han Jue's brokerage company [Jinsha] didn't care, and let Han Jue fend for himself in the last contract period of less than half a year.

There are not many voices boycotting Han Jue on the Internet, most of them are laughing and ridiculing, which is already a good signal for Han Jue.

Han Jue then participated in "Huaxia Has Hip Hop" and officially announced his return.

Han Jue's return did not recall his former fans.

Fans once spent a lot of money for Han Jue, organized guild crowdfunding to raise funds, hit the charts, made a big noise, bought the prime-time use rights of commercial street billboards, bought the products he endorsed, bought newspaper pages to celebrate his birthday, planted trees in the park in his name, donated money in his name for charity, and even made detailed career planning and publicity plans for him, and accompanied him in the wind and rain.

Fans are negative, resources are zero, and there is nothing, which is what Han Jue called a "hell start". For a long time after that, Han Jue came and went alone on the bus. Go to the streets and alleys to learn rap with foreigners, go to my friend Xiao Fan to learn rap, and even record a show.

But Han Jue said that it was the happiest and freest time since he became an artist.

The first time I met Han Jue, I was at a stereo store. We also had a crush on a second-hand record player, and in the end I took the lead in taking the record player, and he just looked at me pitifully through the window.

At that time, I didn't plan to interview him, and he had just participated in the live audition of "Huaxia Hip Hop". I thought he was familiar, but I didn't recognize him.

Later, for a period of time, Han Jue climbed from the edge of the circle with a few songs he sang on "Youhip Hop" and the good performance of "Let's Be in Love". [Jinsha] saw that the idle Han Jue was suddenly useful, so he wanted to renew the contract, but the renewal was contrary to Han Jue's retirement plan, and Han Jue did not agree.

Whenever there is a fork in the road, he always chooses the one that least wrongs him.

When I saw Han Jue again as a reporter, it was at [Alley Bar]. At the time, he was rehearsing a new song and was also looking for a new house. His face was still delicate, but his brow was no longer intimidatingly indifferent. I said I could introduce him to a new apartment, with a low rent, and even a new job — writing the theme song for a certain movie. Han Jue accepted it with a good-natured smile, like a very clean piece of paper being crumpled and flattened.

"Youhip Hop" also suddenly notified that it was disqualified from the competition, because it did not show up, and it was automatically disqualified. After Han Jue learned the news, his heart was cold on the spot, because he did not receive the notification of the recording.

Half of the job was lost, which made Han Jue's comeback road bumpy, and it seemed that if he was not careful, he would fall out of the circle again.

To add insult to injury, Han Jue's diary was maliciously published on the Internet, and his bumpy life experience and straightforward abuse made Han Jue once again in the center of public opinion and became a pastime after tea and dinner.

The last time Han Jue faced this situation, he scolded ten thousand people with one scold, and he was scolded very badly. But this time, Han Jue didn't say anything online, he was annoyed but calm.

"[Self] is something that cannot be seen, and you have to bump into something else and bounce back to understand [yourself]. ”

Han Jue watched all the disturbances coldly, and in the program "Let's Be in Love", he collaborated with Zhang Yiman on a song - "That Woman". Dafang spread out his wounds and put an end to the [Diary Door].

While people lamented that Han Jue's life experience was not easy, they also began to face up to Han Jue's talent, because in this turmoil, Han Jue responded with his works, in addition to "That Woman", he also showed two other songs - "Your Eyes" and "Flammable and Explosive".

People suddenly realized that Han Jue was a musician and no longer an idol.

For idols, Han Jue is no longer looking forward to it: "I have advantages and disadvantages, I don't want to make any character design, and I hate others labeling me, I'm not an idol, and now I use my works to express myself honestly." If someone likes these works, I will be grateful, if not, I don't care at all, and I can't care. ”

Although Han Jue lost the opportunity to show his strength in "Youji Hop", after his talent was showcased, Zhang Yiman's company [Aidu Entertainment] invited Han Jue to sing and participate in the kicking of "Singer".

Han Jue readily agreed.

Han Jue said that it was a pleasure to be a music producer for Zhang Yiman.

"There are two types of singers, one is the creative type, which is now the singer-songwriter. The other type is a professional singer who has perfect skills and doesn't write songs himself. Han Jue said that he was barely the first type, and Zhang Yiman was undoubtedly the second type, but it was different from the general second type of singer.

"She can put her own stamp on every song. Han Jue said that Zhang Yiman's voice has what she wants to express, and she can sing other people's songs so that people think she is the original singer, and she really deserves to eat this bowl of rice by nature.

It is the luck of our listeners that two people who were born to eat this bowl of rice not only sat at the same table (same era) but also ate in the same bowl (same work).

The masterpieces of Zhang Yiman that people can think of now, "Flammable and Explosive", "Open to Tuli", "Bloody Love Story", "Your Eyes", "Because of Love", these are all Han Jue's works.

It's just that after Zhang Yiman's "Singer" was successfully kicked out, many companies in the circle began to invite Han Jue to sing. But at that time, Han Jue didn't plan to sell a single song except for Zhang Yiman, he kept it all in stock, and he didn't plan to release it until he couldn't find a suitable voice.

In an interview, I asked Han Jue, "What are your favorite songs?"

He asked rhetorically, "Do you want to listen to it most often, or do you want it to be your favorite?"

I asked, "What's the difference?"

He replied: "The favorite is what you want yourself to like the most, and the one you listen to most often is what you really like." ”

He listens to his own songs most often and likes his own songs the most.

Some of his songs are very fast, and they can be completed in an hour, and some songs take more than ten or twenty hours. Some songs are old and retro, while others are almost experimental.

As far as I know, Han Jue has hoarded hundreds of songs at the moment. There are Chinese, English, and even French. There's lyrical, there's rock, there's jazz, there's electronic.

Han Jue and I have the privilege of listening to Han Jue's unpublished songs, and we envy others. Once a week, a dozen or so of us always go to Han Jue's house together, waiting to listen to the new songs that Han Jue has written in the past few days. Every time we go home after listening to [Han Jue's Private Music Conference], for two or three days, we can hardly listen to the new songs of other singers on the market.

The [Suitable for Zhang Zishang] folder once shook the music circle, but a few of us knew quite well that that folder was really just the tip of the iceberg in Han Jue's music library.

I don't know how many times I am glad that if Han Jue had not persuaded him to continue making music when he moved, then there would undoubtedly be one less superstar musician and artist in the world.

That would be a loss for all of us in our time.
