Chapter 813: Opening: Advanced Animals

In Hung Hom, no matter how hostile the people of Xiangjiang were to these rock veterans from the mainland, on the day of the concert, the scene was still crowded with audiences, just like more than ten years ago.

As today's opening singer, Zheng Jun's students have experienced such a big scene for the first time, and they may not be able to talk about fear, but they must be nervous.

Tan Weiwei and Bei Bei signed a contract with the 1+1 company before the end of "The Voice of China", while Chen Chusheng already had a brokerage company before participating in the show, and Wang Jinghua had no choice but to give up after trying to get no results.

Of the twelve students of Zheng Jun's group at the beginning, only six came to participate in this performance today, Tan Weiwei and Beibei, as the singers that 1+1 company is going to support next, are naturally among them.

Today, these six students are going to sing a song "elopement" by Zheng Jun, although they are in chorus, but they can sing in Hung Hom, which is also a rare experience for them.

At half past seven in the evening, the concert started on time, the dark stage, the sound of music suddenly sounded, followed by the lights on, and the six students of Zheng Jun's group appeared on the stage.

"Dedicate our youth to the glorious city behind us, and we pay the price for this dream. ”

"Leave love to the most sincere girl around me, you sing with me, you wander with me, and you lose with me. ”

"It wasn't until now that I suddenly realized that what I dreamed of was true love and freedom. ”

"I want to take you to elope~~~~~~~~~~ run to the farthest town, I want to take you to elope~~~~~~~~ be the happiest person~~~~~~"

The difficulty of this song can be called five-star, Zheng Jun has rarely sung it over the years, and the six students can't say how good it is, but in Xiangjiang, their performance is shocking enough.

The enthusiasm of the audience, with this song "elopement", was immediately hyped, and even some people who originally came to the scene with the idea of finding fault had to admit that these rock musicians from the mainland do have the ability to be proud.

After the end of the opening track, the main drama began, and the first one to take the stage today is the same as the concert more than ten years ago, it is still Dou Wei, and the first song he wants to sing is the same as more than ten years ago, it is the song "Advanced Animal".

In terms of the genre of music, "High Animal" is a very strange composition, opening with a heavy bass, eerie and arrogant, surprisingly calm, with electro-treated drum beatings and rough guitars, creating a mysterious atmosphere.

Many people don't think that Dou Wei's music is good, the reason why they have such an opinion is mainly because there is no comparison, Song Zheng listened to "No Land and Self-Respect" for the first time, and the feeling was also faint, and later after listening to Sun Nan's version, as well as all kinds of messy versions, I felt that Dou Wei was simply comparable to a celestial.

There are also many versions of the song "Advanced Animal" on the Internet, and there is also a version that gathers a bunch of people and sings one sentence each, Song Zheng listened to half of it, and felt that so many people couldn't sing a single Dou Wei.

Don't they sing well?

Neither is it.

In fact, they just didn't sing the kind of black rock feeling in Dou Wei's original song.

Although the music of this song sounds simple, it is very textured, very rock, and very heavy.

A group of people with a different era background feel a little happy, and they are about to have the flavor of "Welcome to Yanjing".

This contrast is a bit similar to ABBA's classic song "Gime!Gime!Gime!", which was covered by the Band Beseech into a metal version, and it is not on the same line at all.

This song "Advanced Animal", in fact, everyone will have their own feelings when they listen to it. However, there is no need to combine too many Dou Wei attributes to talk about feelings, because it is more like a cruel product of the times.

If you want to really understand this song, you have to listen to it from the source, and when you go back to that era, you can feel that black and uneasy atmosphere, which is why the cover version can't resonate, because different people interpret different situations, weakening the core of the song, and it is fragmented.

Only in that era can we experience a combination of absurd and ethereal reality and human nature, and we can hear the numbness, irony, indifference, mechanicality, and mania inside.

Many people said that they didn't understand, largely because they couldn't substitute the feeling of that era.

For example, there was once a horror movie called "The Lonely Ghost of the Black Mansion", which was released in 89 and alluded to the horror films of the Great Revolution era, this movie may seem a little ridiculous now, and it is not extremely scary, but if it is from that era, the post-70s, post-80s, I believe it will feel that it is the ultimate nightmare.

In fact, visual horror is not real horror, the real horror is from the heart, based on the absurdity and horror of human nature, and "Advanced Animals" has this quality.

Especially at the beginning, it is basically the feeling of an old horror movie in the 80s, this is the so-called sense of the times, Dou Wei's music, those vocal music before the mountains and rivers, all have an absurd sense of the times.

This is also the reason why Dou Wei is not very satisfied with the works he created in that era, not that these works are bad, but that era, right and wrong, brilliant and bleak, difficult to explain.

To what extent did the mainland open up in the 80s?

Under the sun, they are all psychedelic, hell and heaven, all on earth, these are the background of the times when I listened to this song.

And the reason why this song will not be outdated until now, and even in the future, is that it talks about the weaknesses of everyone and every era, and it can also be completely substituted for the reality of the present.

As a rock singer who has the courage to think about social reality, Dou Wei is undoubtedly outstanding, and his later songs are indeed obscure, Song Zheng used to think that this was a problem, why give up making those easy-to-understand and popular songs?

On this point, after Song Zheng learned about Dou Wei, he also had a new understanding, no era is perfect, all full of shortcomings and mistakes, just like a patient, he needs delicious nutrition, but also can't do without bitter and difficult to swallow medicine, Dou Wei's later works are a kind of herbal medicine, neither gorgeous nor sweet, but meaningful.

Perhaps the artist's artistic cell increases their sensitivity to the current situation of society, and also allows them to see more deficiencies in society and more darkness of human nature than ordinary people. The artist's complaint is a kind of love, and ordinary people have no time to complain, and they don't know how to complain.

Those perceptive artists make people aware of the coldness and depravity of the world, and it can even be said that it is they who promote social improvement and progress to some extent.

About Dou Wei, it must be unprecedented, and it is difficult to say that there is no one in the future, but Dou Wei can be admired by people inside and outside the circle, which is definitely not groundless The reason why the princess loved Dou Wei so much back then was also because his talent in music deeply attracted her.

Rap skills alone, Dou Wei's innate timbre is really good, the degree of argumentation is very high, just eating timbre is enough, and songs like "Advanced Animals" that are basically reading can also feel the beauty of the voice.

The singing skills are based on lung capacity, which is mainly brought by the practice of playing the national instrument flute as a child, and Guo Chuanlin, the manager of the Black Panther Band, found Dou Wei and invited him to join the Black Panther Band, also because he liked his unique singing style.

Dou Wei's voice is no exaggeration in the Chinese music scene at that time, absolutely no one dares to call out, to this day, his songs during the Black Panther period, no one can sing new tastes and feelings, because his voice is unique.

A good musical work needs a good singer and a great arrangement to be perfectly interpreted.

The reason why Dou Wei no longer sings now is known to be because he doesn't want to use lyrics to express the mood of the music itself. If Dou Wei hadn't left Black Panther, perhaps he would have been China's "John Winston Lennon", and his influence in Chinese rock music at that time was basically equal to Cui Jian.

Therefore, singing is really not measured by the word "singing skills", and some works can often glow with new charm after being covered and adapted by later generations.

But the main reason why Dou Wei's works are not started is because he really can't surpass his height, and now Dou Wei is taking a path that all Chinese musicians have never taken, and his music is based on his own thoughts, all things and living beings through many musical instruments to express that kind of picture.

The ancients: proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, talented people!

Dou Wei can be said to be really such a person.

Now Dou Wei is becoming more and more silent, and people think that he has stepped down from the altar and no longer has the kind of spirituality he had back then, so it can be said that he underestimated Dou Wei's talent.

In fact, now Dou Wei has returned to the essence of music, that is, the art of sound, and can no longer be limited to the way of expression, everything can be used by me.

Therefore, Dou Wei is the most talented rock musician in China, and there is no one, in the early years in the Black Panther, wrote highly sung songs, after leaving the Black Panther, he created rock songs, and later, although he was trapped by life, he did not cater to the public, and began to engage in music that he liked to understand, in the eyes of many people, obscure.

Who else in China will engage in experimental rock after the peak?

The rock people or bands that have been popular at the moment, which one is not the same style?

Who dares to change style?

Song Zheng didn't dare to assert whether it was successful or not, maybe it would be recognized after many years, or maybe it would be unknown forever.

Back to the song "Advanced Animal", after the prelude, Dou Wei finally opened his mouth to sing after many years, and Song Zheng and others who were waiting backstage all pricked up their ears.

It's a rare opportunity!

"Contradiction, hypocrisy, greed, deception, fantasy, doubt, simplicity, fickleness, strength, helplessness, loneliness, vulnerability, forbearance, anger, complexity, nastyness~~~~~~~"

There are a lot of adjectives at first, perhaps in Dou Wei's view, human beings are originally a complex polyhedron, even as many as one hundred and eight faces, each of which represents an innate temper, or an acquired character, they are full of contradictions, not noble, and like to fight for it.

In that era of simplicity and human nature, such reflection is necessary and forward-looking, but unfortunately, no one understands, let alone pays attention, this song is more like a person's cry, a person's helplessness, it is difficult to hear applause.

Contradictions, like a deck of Go, are black and white chess pieces hidden in people's hearts, always comparing wins and losses, and do not allow for draws.

Hypocrisy is a weapon for bad people to express their friendliness to the world, a weapon rather than a tool, tools can do things, and weapons inevitably hurt people.

Greed is inferior possession, and higher possession is moderate.

Deception is to chop up the self and then barely stick it with paste, but to the outside world it is pretended to be pure and original.

Fantasy is a substitute for reality, separated from reality by an insurmountable chasm, but cheap and easy to use.

Doubt, the innocence shown in a state of distrust.

Simple, is a brother of complexity, but purer than complexity.

Fickleness is a betrayal of the ego, not a sublimation.

Curiosity is the resurrection of thinking, the additional benefit that brain cells give you.

Helplessness is a surrender to oneself and a surrender to the environment.

Loneliness is the name of the personality, the cell that makes up the soul.

Fragile is a brave suicide, although not all killed, only half killed, but paralyzed the other half.

Forbearance, the nobility of the weak, humility is similar, the nobility of the strong is the right to give.

Anger is the temper that runs out of the heart to exercise, breaking the original slow walk and changing it to a 110-meter hurdle, so it will be out of breath.

Complex, it is a simple brother, but it is more marketable and popular than a brother.

Hate is that you can't find a reason to like it no matter what, and almost all "disgust" comes from "begging".

"Jealousy, insidiousness, contention, complaining, selfishness, boredom, statement, risk-taking, lustful, kind, fraternity, sophistry, being able to speak, emptiness, sincerity, money. ”

Jealousy, the nature is between envy and hatred, a little less sunny than envy, a little more moonlight coolness than hatred.

Insidious, send you chocolates, flowers and applause, but have been soaked in a hostile potion before.

Scramble, an active player on the playing field, characterized by fouls every time he goes on the field.

Complaining, the spiritual offensive and defensive game between close people because they are not defended, but both of them are not happy.

Selfish, it is a beauty that everyone loves, but her beauty is a painting skin from the hand of Satan.

Boredom, the soul goes on vacation alone, and the mind becomes an unattended child.

Perverted, adding the genes of the hen to the genes of the tomatoes, hoping that the tomatoes also have the ability to lay eggs like the hens.

Taking risks, for things that will be lost sooner or later, cherishing too much is another waste, such as life, so taking risks is equal to avoiding waste.

Lustful, the most lustful in the world is Newton, because the golden sunlight is beautiful enough, but he used a prism to decompose it into seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple, but if the sunlight really appears in so many colors, the world will look chaotic, and the harmony between people's eyes and nature may be broken, and lust will cause trouble.

Kind, knowing that he was hurt, but giving up medicine and treatment to others, he originally had a kind beauty, but he was ignored and forgotten because of his low profile.

Fraternity, although God only gave him a pot of charcoal for warmth, he invited everyone to gather around to keep warm.

Sophistry, is a magician, the best at using exaggeration to cover up the lack of reasoning, and the best shows are black and white reversal and self-righteousness.

A typewriter that can say and express ideas can sometimes be annoying because the noise can't be stopped.

Emptiness is the refrigerator of the soul, which is both electric and cold, but there is no food in it, where is the food?

Sincerely, warm-hearted, let others see their smile, but also use a microscope to let everyone see the molecular structure of this smile.

Money is the spokesperson of desire, and he is often cursed for not being able to satisfy his desires, but he is innocent, but his desires are not capable of getting rid of the shackles of money.

"Oh my God! High Animals, Hell and Heaven are on Earth!"

On the stage, Dou Wei looked at this group of "advanced animals" of human beings with a kind of pity, people living in this high-tech and civilized era, but constantly regressing.

This guitar SOLO was played by Dou Wei himself, although there are not many notes, but it makes people feel like a bomber, and you can clearly feel the distortion and turbulence of the spirit.

"Greatness, smallness, moderation, pity, joy, pain, war, peace, glory, bleakness, pride, sadness, resentment, ambition, arbitrariness, reproach!"

There was another long list of modifiers, and then the voice suddenly paused, as if it was a heartfelt question after an accusation.

"Where is happiness?

The relief part can be said to be the stroke of genius of this work, a few crisp guitar sounds, it sounds as if the water drops are returning to nature, the struggle between the water drops and the stones is finally over, and a lovely drop of water passes through the stone, slides down the calm lake, and sparkles in the microwave.

Human beings, who claim to be the spirits of all things, have many strengths and weaknesses in them, they make you respect and hate, make you smile and make you cry, fascinate and bore you, hell and heaven are all in one thought.

Bai Juyi has a poem: Only when people's hearts are opposite, they can't be predicted at hand.

The more complex a person is, the farther he will be from happiness, where is happiness?

In the hearts of you and me after removing the impurities.

"Dou'er!

Zheng Jun shouted loudly in the background excitedly, everyone else is the same, it is already very rare to hear Dou Wei singing again, not to mention such a profound song.

Similarly, for the audience, this song brings them the most intuitive feeling, that is, deafening, Xiangjiang's pop music is always inseparable from love, love, love, love, and love, and there are only a few good works such as "General Order" and "A Laugh in the Sea" that can hit people's hearts.

Like today's "Advanced Animal", the shock brought by the audience in Xiangjiang is difficult to feel.

After seeing the reaction at the scene, Song Zheng was finally relieved, although the era is different, but the rock spirit from the mainland still looks very shocking.
