"Summer in the Band" makes the new pants hot", this is the impression of most people.
Participating in the festival, when some big tongue lead singer Peng Lei appeared, many people still felt strange. After the
show was broadcast, the streets were broadcasting "No one who is ideal is not sad", and Peng Lei's Weibo fans increased by more than 400,000, without water injection, and 630,000 live fans.
At the same time, the new pants that went viral all night, the itinerary became more colorful. The new pants from
travel back and forth in niche cultural venues such as music festivals and livehouses. After
became popular, the faces of team members often appeared in the top variety shows in the Internet age.

"Summer of the Band" finals, when the 43-year-old Peng Lei sang to the end of "Life Is Hot because of You", tears burst into his eyes. The lyrics of
read: "Some people fall, some go crazy, some go with the wind".
This is not just singing casually, this is the true portrayal of Chinese rock musicians in the late 90s.
After a rock and roll peak in Hung Hom, Hong Kong, whether it is the climax of the three masters of Magic Rock, or a batch of "Beijing New Voices" such as underground babies, flower bands, and new pants, they are inevitably degenerating, just like the blossoming flowers last night. , Withered in an instant.
Afterwards, someone summed up the reasons for China's rapid decline. The most important thing is that the social environment after the 1990s is no longer suitable for the "barbaric growth" of rock music.
Zhang Chu said: "At that time, you have become a new you, and others have not become a new me. The feeling of loneliness is very uncomfortable."
is in "Moon Dream", Tang Chao Band Zhang Ju wrote: "The jade souls are scattered and falling, how desolate." The evening scene of
Chinese rock, just like Peng Lei sings in the finale:
The ephemeral splendor of
is exploding fireworks, that dazzling ball The flame is burning with you and me
The curse of history is before you.
, as a band player who has played in the band for more than 20 years, Peng Lei knows well: walking the old path before is tantamount to sounding the death knell for rock music.
So, Peng Lei jumped between various music forms.
According to his own description, the new pants were originally a punk band, then turned to the new wave, and also engaged in "earth shake".
His helpless and cruel experience of reality is nuanced, but he can't find an outlet in music.
Until later, Peng Lei said: "The era of Disco is over, and we have entered the dark age of chaos. There is no longer any need for literary youth, only ordinary old songs."

In all fairness, Peng Lei is indeed trying his best to protect the true rebellious spirit of rock and roll. As a band that has been established for more than 20 years,
has always been far ahead of the market.
When heavy metal rock swept the mainland, the new pants had already become punk; after
punk became popular, Peng Lei ignored the feelings of music fans and jumped to electronic music willfully;
and when electronic music became the mainstream of variety shows, the new pants were again Turned to disco and new wave.
He always changes form under the trend of the times, but the essence of the rock kernel has never changed.
Recently, everyone's circle of friends has been screened by him for singing the theme song "If Life Tricked You" for the movie "Two Tigers" starring Ge You.
When asked by the media why he would sing for this movie, he replied unscrupulously as always:
"I just want to take a photo with Uncle Ge during the movie promotion period to prove that I don't look like him at all." .
jokes, the cynical Peng Lei is willing to sing the theme song for the movie, in fact, there are his considerations.
In fact, Gun Qing Peng Lei also has an unknown identity-a film director.
Peng Lei graduated from the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy of Grade 96. You must know that Nortel's Grade 96 is a class with dazzling stars. Zhao Wei, Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming and others are all at this level.
In 2012, Peng Lei directed a "Band" and won the Best Director Award at the 15th Shanghai International Film Festival Asian Newcomer Awards.
sing the theme song for the movie, just like "Band",Movie and music are combined.
More importantly, before that, when asked about traffic, Peng Lei once answered:
"We said that this show is not lively or lively. It's just a lie. After this show is broadcast for a month, I will watch you all Who is mentioning, which song is still being mentioned. If you don’t mention it, then it really fails, everyone has failed. But if you leave a song, a band, or a few good topics, it may It is still worth doing. Just like a good movie, someone will watch it in a few decades, and someone will listen to a good song in hundreds of years." In other words, is Peng Lei willing to come out because Is the movie "Two Tigers" "worth it"?
Look at the starring lineup of the movie. In addition to Ge You, there are Zhao Wei, Fan Wei, Yan Ni, that is, everyone has the level of holding a gold trophy...
Let’s talk about the film’s director Li Fei, who has won the Golden Horse. Nominated for the Good Screenplay Award, he is the screenwriter of "The Evil Doesn't Suppress the Right", and he has published a novel by himself.
His feature film director debut "Fate Express" was evaluated by Jiang Wen as: This is the best movie I have seen in recent years. When Li Fei wrote the script, it felt like he had a lot to say, and it was very interesting. I really want to see every movie of Li Fei in the future. "
These tonality fits well with Peng Lei, who has opened a bar and drew cartoons. In the trailer for "Two Tigers", Ge You holds a golf club in his hand and sits in a formal dress in the theater. Serious, like a singing opera posture.
However, when the camera slowly advanced. The audience quietly discovered that he was singing "two tigers, two tigers, running fast, running fast."
is so strong Contrast, turning the absurdity of real life into black humor, and dissolving the suffering in laughter.
is in line with Peng Lei’s own music style.
sings when other rock musicians are screaming angrily for reality I started a disco that was drunk and fancied, and turned the scams in my life into humorous jokes. There are many hardships in life, and they are all in jokes. The loneliness after
became popular overnight, Peng Lei has a real experience:
is as in the song Sing like:
If life deceives you, don't be sad, don't be impatient.
You need calm in the melancholy days, believe it, happy days will come.
