A lot of people are wondering why I came to Overcome Toughness.
In the past three years, 90% of the events and performances have been temporarily canceled or postponed. Our hormones have nowhere to burst, and we always want to stand on the stage and chatter.
I rarely participate in variety shows, and I haven't heard a man snoring beside me in decades. Now there are more than 30 male artists from all walks of life, living and staying together, a bit like living in a dormitory.
You can't go anywhere else, there are only so many rooms, it's quite interesting that there is a snoring brother in any room.
On the show, I formed a superficial kung fu band with Jun Ge, Xin, Ma Di , and netizens said that we were always "laying flat".
In fact, if I were to describe us, I think it should be: serious, not serious.
a netizen wrote a very heart-wrenching sentence, saying that we just didn't pretend to work hard.
To be honest, we have to sing our own song a thousand times. Dude, here's a disclaimer, I've never lip-synched. So I sing this song and you let me practice for three days, that's really unnecessary.
Even if the four of us chorus Jun Ge's " Elopement ", it will take a total of one and a half minutes, and the harmony is not difficult. It may be done a few times on the first day.
reality show, I think the most need is authenticity. It does not mean that in order to cater to the audience, we must do our best to perform and please.
We don't do that, not this logic.
I'm not saying this to mean other people are pretending to work hard because everyone's situation is a little different. Many of them really need to dance, they have to do it over and over again, and they need to move very well, especially for an older brother like Du Dewei , it is really hard.
What is true for us is that it is easy to play the guitar and easy to play the drums, we do get started. But when it comes to a particularly difficult instrument, like the Scottish bagpipe, it's just hard.
In 2010, I was invited to go to Scotland for music and cultural exchange. At that time, there was an eleven or twelve year old student who played the Scottish bagpipes for us in the classroom.
I feel that children can easily blow it out, so it shouldn't be too difficult. The result is clearly my misunderstanding of this "perverted" instrument.
During the three days of practicing the Scottish bagpipes, I lay down for a day and a half, unable to speak a word. As soon as I started to blow on the first day, I felt that there were stars in my eyes.
At night, it seems that oxygen has accumulated in my lungs. I drank coffee again during the day, but I didn't fall asleep for two days. I felt like I was going to the hospital.
We also invited a teacher to design a 16-bar melody. When I heard it, I thought it was impossible to complete, and it was so difficult to sound.
But the team is all there, do you want to drop the chain? So in the end, I really drove the ducks to the shelves and forced myself. After the
show aired, I could hear a flaw in the playing. If it weren't for my poor sleep, I think I could blow better.
Nowadays, everyone always likes to watch crossovers and challenges in different fields. I understand that "overcoming obstacles" is not necessarily like this.
is like a physical education teacher lining up for everyone when I was a child, always considering the width of the team and lining up horizontally. But aside from the width, I want to be at the end of a column, which means I'm the tallest guy.
can do one thing deep enough to challenge the limit, I think it is also a kind of "overcoming obstacles".
shows some of Big Brother's works, which have a profound influence on my songwriting and creation. Like the works of Brother Jun's debut, the first album, including the subsequent ones, I like them very much. There is also Xiao Qi, who was playing on every street at that time and could be heard all the time.
Zhang Zhenyue is about the same age as me. I was already a teacher at the dance academy when he debuted. But he debuted very early, and I also like those works. In addition to
brothers, works like Dou Wei , Cui Jian have a great influence on me.
The way I create is different from that of many people. Most people write lyrics, compose music, and then arrange and record. I record directly, first find a rhythm, a motive, or a harmony direction that I like, which usually pops up unintentionally, then add other things according to that track, and finally fill in the lyrics.
This habit may be related to my previous experience.
Before I released my own album, I did almost all kinds of work in the music industry: behind-the-scenes writing, arranging, recording... At that time, our team should be the first in live recording, Cui Jian, Tong Ang, , Zhao Chuan , as well as domestic bands like Overload, we made live recordings.
Lao Cui was in the first show at the time, we recorded three and a half hours according to the technical specifications, and recorded 96 tracks on the spot, which was a challenge to the limit and broke the industry record.
record, learn to arrange, make a band, create... I can make my own album later, all depends on every stage before that.
Many people know me because of "Alive" published in 2013.
In 2010, I released my second album "Suddenly Thinking of the Word Ideal", and the response was not bad. When it was first released, Douban was at 8:00, and it was quite high. Then we got busy and started various shows, live house tours across the country.
I suddenly feel that the rhythm of life has changed, that people are always on the road.
"Suddenly Thinking of the Word Ideal" contains a sentence: "I don't have time to play the piano and read books, I don't have time to enjoy loneliness."
I try to have a rhythm and a sense of progress in my works, but this sense of progress is just a sense of listening to music, the lyrics mean I'm a little worried, always running around on the road, will I have no time to stop Down to charge.
Later, I asked myself, in fact, isn't this my dream on the road, and it will come true.
at Zhangbei, Midi, Strawberry Music Festival, we have been practicing piano since childhoodThe older children stand on the stage, the audience below can't see the edge, and tens of thousands of people sing with me. How many times can I have that kind of happiness in a lifetime?
I have fulfilled my dream and I can make money out of it to live, what more?
So sometimes, life really needs to ask questions, but sometimes it needs to be content.
Some people say that I use easy songs to express the essence of life, I think it may be related to personality.
I don't really like expressing myself in the state of angry youth glaring at everything, and I don't want the lyrics to be indifferent and optional.
Everyone says my music is rock or folk , I don't object, I can only say that the classification is different. I just write my true feelings in my own state.
The me in life is not that different from being on the show. In the show, I grilled skewers for everyone, and the same is true in private. The barbecue stove at home has entertained countless people.
But compared to my old self, I still have some changes.
About riding a motorcycle, it was in our 20s, and we would deliberately change the exhaust pipe of motorcycles to be very small - when I was a teacher in the dance school for a few years, the students in my class did not need to set the alarm clock at all, because the car still Before entering the school they heard the voice.
Thinking about it back then, it was really wicked, and now I definitely wouldn't deliberately make it so loud.
Having said that, learning guitar can be regarded as a rescue for me when I was a teenager.
When I first came into contact with the guitar, I liked it very much. I learned very quickly. After getting praise from others, I found a feeling that my natural talent must be useful.
During a summer vacation when I was about eleven or twelve, I hardly went out to play, and wanted to ask my dad for money to buy a guitar. I used to ask him for anything, but I didn't expect him to support me for the first time this time. Maybe he thought it was better than going out to fight.
I suddenly feel like it's boring to go out and make trouble with those kids every day.
But having said that, there is a scene in the show where I lean over my chair and turn over. It feels like the mental ADHD is gone, but the physical is still there.
I was asked which is more important to "feel life" or "finish life". When it comes to the former, everyone seems to generally say slow down, do subtraction, and have a good time, right? Those who
forwarded online are still young people who have full-time jobs and want to live in peace. I think unless your old man is very good, it is pointless to stop drinking this chicken soup as soon as possible.
I have a song called "Uneasy", which contains the line: "One day we will all grow old, and at the end of the day I will think about a question, do I regret what I have done in this life, I only regret what I have not done. "
Life is not the same as making music arrangements. If you can use the simplest music to present the desired rhythm, it is a very advanced way to arrange music. But life is far from the time for subtraction.
You see Mr. Du Dewei is 60 years old and he is still singing and dancing. I think the sentence in "Alive" "Could it be that 6After the age of 0, go to find the freedom I want. "It can be changed to 80 years old.
I'm just over 40 years old, I'm still a young man, and I haven't experienced enough of many things. I still hope to continue to "add" and "complete life more"
