The next two classes in the morning were spent in Qin Ge's slightly puzzled thoughts, and he also asked Yang Zhao about Hu Lin during the recess. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Zhao knew that there was such a star, and he also said that he used to be very popular, but it seemed that he had disappeared in recent years. Yang Zhao didn't know the specific things very clearly, so Qin Ge couldn't get the answer he wanted.

At noon, Qin Ge had a casual meal outside the school and went home, all he had to do now was to go to the Internet to find out who this Hu Lin was.

Through some miscellaneous, half-truths and half-truths on the Internet, Qin Ge can be regarded as having a general understanding of Hu Lin, and after seeing these reports on the Internet, to be honest, Qin Ge was really shocked.

How to say it, there is no doubt that this Hu Lin is a musical genius and a genius in rock and roll. But as with all stories, the life of a genius is always embarrassing, because genius is never smooth sailing.

……

Hu Lin, a native of Qindao, was born on May 6, 1960 in Qindao, and began to learn guitar when he was in middle school.

Hu Lin left school in January 1980.

In June 1981, Hu Lin joined the band "Black Iron Era" and served as the lead singer of the band. During the lead singer of the band "Black Iron Era", Hu Lin almost did all the songwriting of the band.

In December 1981, the album of the same name of the band "Black Iron Era" became popular as soon as it was released in Xiangjiang, setting off a wave of black iron frenzy, and this "Black Iron Era" broke the best sales record of rock albums in China at that time with sales of 80,000 boxes in the first week of its release, and quickly attracted a piracy frenzy in mainland China after only one week of release.

The title song of the album "Wild Growth" topped the Xiangjiang Commercial Radio Chart for 6 months, and "Far Away" and "Refuse to Give In" were also widely sung.

Hu Lin became popular all over the country in his early 20s with his hit hits "Wanton Growth" and "Far Away".

Because many of Hu Lin's instruments are self-taught, his music never has the word "craftsmanship", but is full of fresh antiquity and unique arrangement.

Although this will make his music very unique, there is no dissonance that attracts attention, and the beginning and end are so "compatible", just right. This high-spirited young man is dreamy, psychedelic, repetitive, and hybrid...... Persistent in the exploration of the "personality" of rock music, he has given life to rock and roll, and has won the support of countless fans for himself.

The well-known music critic Duan Dashan once commented on Hu Lin at that time in an interview at the time: "At the age of 20, he has already shown the context that an excellent musician should have, or he has found the direction to his own music system, or Hu Lin will have a place at the top of the pyramid of the Chinese music scene in a few years." ”

This is a very high evaluation, but the next trend of things is a little different from Duan Dashan's prediction, because it took Hu Lin a full 10 years from his debut at the age of 20 to standing at the top of the Chinese music scene.

In October 1982, Hu Lin left the band "Black Iron Age" and formed the "Maniac Band". During this time, he composed one of his most popular songs, "Chasing the Light", which won him no fans with his unique Hu Lin-style rock singing.

But to the surprise of fans, in June 1983, Hu Lin suddenly chose to leave the "Crazy Band" and chose to fly solo.

After flying solo, Hu Lin experienced a four-year trough period, during which period from 1983 to 1987 he had almost no works.

It wasn't until 1988 that he signed a contract with Shengshi Entertainment that he began to recover slowly, and in 1990, Hu Lin, who was just around the same age, ushered in the peak of his career.

This year, the entire music scene basically belongs to Hu Lin alone.

Three rock albums released in a year are all big hits, among which the album "My Head Is Harder Than Stones" created 6 million copies in three months on the shelves, and no rock singer or group in China has been able to break it so far.

This year, his fan base also reached its peak, fans liked his arrogance, liked his arrogance, and liked his Hu singing, in short, they liked everything about him.

This year, Hu Lin held a total of 30 concerts in Xiangjiang, Beigang and the mainland.

The concert was full and full.

What makes fans talk about the most is that in February of this year, Hu Lin and Guo Wantong, who was popular in China at that time and was known as the queen of love songs, formed their own family, and in December of the following year, they were happy to have a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.

At that time, Hu Lin was really a bumper harvest for his career and family, and people at that time, whether they were music or fans, also thought that Hu Lin was about to create history, open a door of rock for the domestic music scene, and let Asian rock go to the world.

This is not impossible, because at that time, Hu Lin's musical cognition was at least one position ahead of the overall level of the entire domestic music scene at that time.

Except for Hu Lin, there is no one in China's pop music industry who can combine Western techniques and Eastern charm so beautifully and so well. He used his pen and ink in his music to depict the distant mountains, white clouds, and bamboos that existed in his heart. What is even more commendable is that he is constantly breaking through himself, constantly trying more abundant elements, constantly making the audience have new feelings, and constantly making the voice that is most in line with his current situation.

But the change happened in 1993, in June 1993, Guo Wantong suddenly announced his divorce from Hu Lin, that is, from then on, Hu Lin began to step down from the altar.

The psychological trauma and torture suffered by Hu Lin's broken family is obvious, which also greatly influenced his future creative direction and attitude, and bought the groundwork for the change of his work style.

It can be said that Hu Lin was depressed for a whole year, and then he seemed to understand something, and as if he had seen through something, his music style began to change, and he became more and more focused on the absolute pursuit of the individual!

His pursuit is to constantly pursue a more perfect self, which is his own definition, which has nothing to do with others, nothing to do with anyone, nothing to do with fame, nothing to do with money, nothing to do with audiences, nothing to do with popularity, nothing to do with success, only about the realm.

During that time, when he was interviewed by the media, he said a sentence, he said: I believe in reincarnation, because I have been reincarnated alive, and after that, my music is out of the world, I just want to enjoy the Zen life, and I don't care what people think of me.

The time came in March 1995, this year, Hu Lin, who had been away from the music industry for two years, released his ninth album "Proud Me".

The music style of this album has completely changed, all the signs of Hu Lin in the past are gone, Hu Lin has completely abandoned his original only remaining metallic atmosphere, and has become a personal feeling that fans can't understand, and has become a grandstanding and unflattering garbage in the circle.

In the eyes of fans, Hu Lin began to become egoistic, extreme, and arrogant, and a lot of gossip came to his face.

"Okay, since you say that I have failed in life and that my music is grandstanding, then I will quit the music scene, and I expect you to make the world's best rock!"

In June 1995, 3 months after the album "Proud Me" was released, Hu Lin announced his retirement from the music scene after saying such a paragraph.

And the sales of this album have sold less than 20,000 copies, according to the Internet.

As expected, as Zhang Wenqi and the others sighed before, since then, Hu Lin has slowly faded out of the entertainment industry and the music world.

However, Hu Lin doesn't seem to care about this, maybe he has enjoyed enough lights and glory, which makes him feel at ease to be a single father.

He is like a chivalrous warrior who returns to the mountain with a sword and never asks about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and slowly fades out of the entertainment industry, if his life was all rock and roll before, then raising children has become the whole of his life.

……

"Alas...... It's a pity, how many heroes have fallen to women throughout the ages! Qin Ge sighed, and continued to browse the news about Hu Lin with some distraction. Suddenly, a news item about Hu Lin on February 21, 2001 caught his attention, and the headline of the news was "A Generation of Rock and Roll Kings Has Fallen Here".

The content is: Recently, some media reported that some netizens suspected of encountering Guo Wantong's ex-husband, the famous rock musician Hu Lin, when taking the subway. Hu Lin in the picture is seriously out of shape, his hairline has moved back to the top of his head, and his hair is scarce, he seems to be sleeping on the subway wearing sunglasses, holding a schoolbag in his arms, and he was completely heroic back then, which makes people really can't believe that this is the former king of rock and roll.

After seeing this set of photos, many netizens left messages under the news, lamenting the impact that Hu Lin had on his teenage years.

Netizens listen to the rain 1988 message: Hu Lin! Hu Lin...... Alas, such a heavy and unfamiliar name is like a hermit who has escaped underground for many years. If it weren't for the candid photographers on the subway, the name would have fallen to the ground, and I'm afraid it would only exist in many fake trumpets and mythical legends - what a ****** the years.

And the message of netizen Red Rose made Qin Ge more intuitively understand how deep Hu Lin's influence on Zhang Wenqi and their generation was.

Netizen Red Rose wrote: In fact, since he quit the music scene, I have been forcing myself to write something for Hu Lin, but I have never known what to write.

Hu Lin, so to speak, is the most dramatic enlarged version of every lost youth, experiencing a brilliant fall in enthusiasm and silence.

I look at my past, junior high school was indifferent and fresh, high school was like a song, after seeing more people and more things in college, I was forbearant and fulfilling, learning to be satisfied, but when it came to entering the society, I was confused and lost.

I'm a man who is honest with my heart and time, and I'm also a coward. Accustomed to following the crowd lazily and reluctantly crawling towards the established bull's-eye. What a shameful action!

Hu Lin described all kinds of ugliness of human beings in "People Are Not as Good as Dogs", and I became one of them, as if I saw him laughing at me from a high place.

Oh my god, sometimes people are really not as good as dogs!

Fortunately, I met Hu Lin, met his rock, from the screams of Hu's singing, my emptiness was filled little by little, and I would dream of the boy in black who played the flute in black at the Xiangjiang Youlong Stadium in the 90s.

His face is either grim all the time, or he sings obliviously.

He sang, "How can happiness be had?" ”

It shook my heart.

This may also be the foreshadowing of his sadness.

At the beginning, he became the husband of the goddess, which I used to think was a match made in heaven, and I believe that many people are like me, and these two musical elves should be a couple.

But since then, the breakdown of his marriage, the irony in the circle, and the incomprehension of fans have carved him from a god-like black-clothed piper to his current appearance.

Sometimes I think very radically that a woman should not appear in his life, whether it is a "goddess" or "true love".

He should have belonged to rock and roll in this life, and he should have turned a blind eye to the world, because his music does not tolerate the slightest insult, and any money is just dirty, but the world is hard to refuse.

He should be like the most brilliant fireworks, destroying the dust of the soul.

But now, he is unkempt and crowded on the subway, which makes me feel so sad that I used to like him so much?

But maybe this is the fate that heroes can't escape, this is the most tragic ending that only belongs to heroes. But why do I prefer him to stand on the brightly lit stage, shouting passionately, "As long as I live, I am not afraid of falling, because my head is harder than a stone", and we cheered and made waves in the audience, and accompanied him crazy.

At this point, put down the pen and sacrifice the year.

Thank you for having you in my youth, Hu Lin. - Red Rose, February 21, 2001.

"Alas...... It's a pity, search for his songs! ”

Qin Ge sighed, and then searched for Hu Lin's song on the Internet, ready to listen to it.

……

Hu Lin's works, Qin Ge was really fascinated when he heard it, and in the past few days, he has spent almost all the time he can use listening to Hu Lin's songs and studying Hu Lin's life trajectory.

Qin Ge didn't know why he did this, but he did it like this, maybe because he also had a heart for rock and roll, or maybe he actually admired Hu Lin as a person.

And although he writes books now, he must make music and movies in the future, there is no doubt about it, and writing more about it will also help him in his future career.

Through the research of the past few days, Qin Ge has an intuitive understanding of Hu Lin's music.

Objectively speaking, Hu Lin is to rock music like Jay Chou is to independent music, his early works have both musical innovation and audience, he is actually not suitable for some experimental music that is too avant-garde and niche, even if he personally likes it very much, but his talent is most suitable for independent music.

However, because Hu Lin is a musician who likes to constantly deny himself and change himself, or he has been pursuing a musical realm that he yearns for with confusion, so that he constantly changes his musical style orientation, Qin Ge can still feel his soul from all his different stages.

The height of art has always been the ultimate essence of his pursuit, but Qin Ge believes that art is originally a product of the times that is difficult to achieve and even more difficult to ponder. There may be 100 people who think they are making art, but the work of art that can really lead the times is only one in 100, and it is only a small part of the stepping stone of art history, which may be the reason why "Proud Me" is not accepted by the public.

Although Hu Lin is indeed artistic, he is not suitable to be an artist.

In the spirit he pursues, in fact, it is not only something that transcends the times, but also a lot of realistic aspirations for conformity and perfection. He is just fighting against the filth of the world with his harmonious aesthetics, so he has become a combination of ideal and reality.

So he may be the Nirvana and the Beatles of another Earth, but he can never be the Beethoven and Mozart of rock music.

Therefore, Qin Ge felt that if Hu Lin could come out of himself and achieve a breakthrough in the field of self and music, the chances of success might be greater for him.

……

Qin Ge's mobile phone has been on for the past few days, because he actually wanted Hu Lin to call him, but after waiting for a few days, there were a few calls, but none of them were Hu Lin.

This made Qin Ge a little regretful, he was really interested in wanting to know how Hu Lin changed "When You're Old" to rock, but Hu Lin didn't look for him, and he could only go to class every day with a little regret, and then listen to Hu Lin's rock.

But to his surprise, Hu Lin came to find him when he went to school on Thursday afternoon.
