Last Friday, in the 9th issue of "Singer 2024", musician Xu Jun joined the show as the unveiling singer. During the show, he chose to challenge Yuan Weiya and sang his own work "29", which was finally released successfully. According to the competition system, Yuan Yawei, who ranked at the bottom of the two programs, was eliminated. In this regard, Xu Jun said in an interview with the media that he felt quite complicated inside. "After the announcement was successful, I felt very happy at the time, but also very complicated. I think because I particularly like Tia (Yuan Yawei), Qian Don’t say that Tia (Yuan Yawei) left because of my success in the ranking. "
The fate of Xu Jun and "Singer" can be traced back to 2017. That year, Zhang Jie participated in "Singer" and sang his song "Myself". Seven years later, when Xu Jun himself participated in "Singer 2024", he chose his masterpiece "29". The lyrics of this song, "May you be as cool as the wind, as wild as a dog, and plunge into the dim light" are impressive. Xu Jun feels that this lyric is more like his own life, "I am a person who is relatively unruly, and I prefer to find my own comfortable state." Just like when he introduced himself in the show, "I am not Zheng Jun, nor am I Xu Song, I am Xu Jun. "The word "Jun" when broken down means iron spoon. In the words of Northwest people, spoon means fool. There was a time when Xu Jun also called himself an iron spoon, "The iron spoon gave me the feeling that it was harder and more silly than ordinary spoons. Because when I was a child, my family said that stupid people are blessed with stupid things, so I wanted to be more upright. Some, simpler.”
Some music fans believe that Xu Jun is becoming more and more relaxed in music creation, and he agrees with this. "I liked to show off my skills for a while, but now I gradually feel that music is music, and music is just a way of expression." From "Myself" to "29", Xu Jun thinks that his mentality seems to be calmer than before, and he is more mature. He is not so easily irritable anymore. "What hasn't changed is that I know better. I am still me. Deep down, I have not changed."
After "Chinese Good Songs", Xu Jun did not appear in variety shows for many years. Now that he has returned to the public eye again through "Singer 2024", Xu Jun said: "The biggest change in my mentality is that I have grown up and I know what the essence of life is like." He admitted that before he went to variety shows to look for opportunities, now When I came to "Singer 2024", I felt very calm. "I felt that I came here to exchange music. As for whether the announcement of the ranking was successful or not, I didn't consider it. I didn't regard it as a competitive competition."
