Speaking of the history of rock music in China, it is actually not very long, from the introduction from abroad to its own development, it is only about five or six years, which is just the same as the period of reform and opening up.

Although it has been developed for several years, the people above feel that this song style is too noisy, coupled with the 83 years of crackdown, rock musicians are very maverick, fancy clothes with long hair, it is easy to be regarded as a ruffian, so it has always been in the underground stage.

Until May 1986, a major event occurred that would affect the domestic rock music scene for decades to come!

To commemorate the International Year of Peace, Wu Haigang, the editor of the China Audio and Video Publishing Group, proposed a large-scale concert, which was quickly agreed to by the above, and then invited more than 100 of the country's most popular singers, including the rising rock singer Cui Jian.

The invited singers took to the stage at the International Year of Peace Concert on May 9.

At that time, Cui Jian wore a coat and walked on the stage and sang his new work "Nothing", showing the people of the whole country what rock music is.

In the subsequent commemorative album of "100 Singers Concert of the Year of World Peace", Cui Jian also sang "Nothing" and "It's Not that I Don't Understand", which also marked the official birth of Chinese rock music.

In just a few years, rock music has also become a new wave in the domestic music scene, which is why Cui Jian was named the first person to rock and roll.

It's October now, more than a few months have passed since Cui Jian took the stage, and countless young people in Beijing have taken him as their idol, holding newly bought basses or guitars, calling friends, and wanting to become rock singers like Cui Jian.

"Zheng ......"

When Li Yange recalled the songs of the Tang Dynasty band he had listened to, there was a screeching bass sound in the black soft earphones.

He frowned, raised his eyes and looked at the recording studio inside, and saw Ding Wu waving his hand towards him, stepped forward and took the microphone and said, "The next song is newly written by us recently, and the name is "Goodbye My Friend""

As soon as the words fell, Ding Wu nodded towards the man with glasses next to him.

The man with glasses understood, took the clip in his right hand and swept the bass hard, and then played it quickly.

After the beginning, the round-faced man began to beat the drum kit, and the other two played the electronic piano and the other played the bass as a harmony.

The music of the four people is intertwined to compose a dynamic prelude, Ding Wu has a bass in front of him, strides to the microphone, and sings: "Goodbye my friend, goodbye my friend......"

Noisy!

It's noisy!

Very noisy!

Hearing this song, Li Yange had only one word in his mind, and that was - noisy!!

Whether it is the hysteria of Ding Wu, the lead singer, or the two bassists, or the drums or the electronic piano, these five people, without exception, are all piled up in the high notes.

Although Li Yange has not gone deep into rock and roll, he has also listened to rock music for many years, and well-known bands of all sizes at home and abroad know a little bit about it, and few rock bands are as hysterical as Ding Wu is now.

It smells of heavy metal!

Listening and listening, Li Yange couldn't stand it and took off the headphones, looked at Zhang Xiaowei who was recording and tuning next to him, and admired him for insisting on listening.

You must know that the songs sung in it are like a bunch of heavy noises piled up, exploding when you first hear it, and it still explodes when you listen to it again!

…

This song was recorded for almost half an hour, and it was not until Zhang Xiaowei made an OK gesture towards the glass wall that Ding Wu told everyone to stop, put down the bass, opened the door and walked out of the recording studio.

Entering the mixing room, Ding Wu smiled and said, "How is it?" How's it going? ”

"Great!" Zhang Xiaowei gave a thumbs up.

"Actually, I think I can sing better, but my voice is not good, I drank a lot of wine with them yesterday, and my voice is a little dumb."

Ding Wu pinched his throat, looking a little annoyed, and then he looked up at Li Yange on the side, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "How about Yange?" How's my song? ”

What do you think?

Li Yange really wants to complain, this singing is really bad, the lyrics are also bad, and the song is even worse!

However, considering that the two met for the first time, Ding Wu had always been very enthusiastic before, so he didn't say much, just smiled and said that it sounded good.

Ding Wu could see at a glance that Li Yange was not right, but he was not angry, and said with a smile: "This is the first time you listen to rock music, right?" I just saw you take off your headphones inside, don't you feel noisy? That's right, this is rock, venting your emotions, this is the attitude! ”

"It was noisy at first, but it sounded good later." Li Yange didn't expect to be seen through, laughed twice, and said again.

"That's right, that's what rock 'n' roll is."

After Ding Wu finished speaking, several other people followed.

A group of people chattered about the song they had just recorded.

At this time, Zhang Xiaowei saved the recorded songs, and then said to Li Yange: "Don't you want to record it?" Let's go inside. ”

"You record that Xun first, I haven't heard what the sound of this instrument is." After Ding Wu finished speaking, he patted Zhang Xiaowei's shoulder with his right hand and said, "Lao Zhang, have you heard of Xun?" ”

"Xun?"

Zhang Xiaowei looked at the oval clay held by Li Yan singer, frowned, thought for a while and said: "I have heard that Professor Zhao, who has heard about the central sound, used this instrument to play in the Hubei Song and Dance Troupe a few years ago, but I have never heard it, and it is the first time I have seen the real thing. ”

Although Tao Xun has been passed down for thousands of years, but at the end of the Qing Dynasty, because it has been accepted by the royal family as a court vessel, the folk rarely circulate, so people can only occasionally smell Xun music when appreciating the palace music, and almost do not remember that there is such a musical instrument as Xun.

In the thirties and thirties of the Republic of China, Xun music was almost unbeatable in public performances, not that no one could do it, but there were very few people who could do it, and few people had performed on the surface.

It was not until 1983 that Professor Zhao Liangshan used Xun to perform for the first time in the HUB Provincial Song and Dance Troupe, and it gradually spread.

"Then you've opened your eyes today!"

Ding Wu said to Li Yange: "Let's listen to Xun's music. ”

Hearing this, Li Yange opened the door and walked out with a smile.

When I entered the recording studio, I saw Ding Wu sticking to the glass wall and giving a thumbs up, Li Yange also walked to the microphone, glanced at the radio next to him, a little far, pulled a little closer, found a stool and sat down, and made an OK gesture to Zhang Xiaowei inside.

Immediately, Li Yange took a breath, and after soothing his mood, he slowly put Xun in both hands to his mouth and played it gently.

Xun's voice is very distinctive, quiet and quiet, bleak and desolate, giving people a feeling of ethereal silence.

This is a timbre that has never been heard before, which made Ding Wu slightly stunned, stunned for a long time, and then his eyes lit up and said: "This song is quite good, have you heard it before?" ”

The round-faced man thought for a moment and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

The glasses man and the two bass players behind him shook their heads in the same way.

"Don't even speak!"

Zhang Xiaowei scolded a few people not to speak, and pinched the big black earphones on his ears with both hands, so as not to be disturbed by the conversation of several people next to him, and began to listen attentively to the tune that Li Yange blew inside.

Ding Wu and the others glanced at each other and looked at each other, it was the first time they had seen Zhang Xiaowei like this.
