A sudden epidemic disrupted all rhythms, including, of course, the sudden emergence of "Summer of the Band".
Last year, Le Xia stood out in the entertainment craze with the essence of entertainment, presenting to the world a group that has long existed but rarely understood or pretended to turn a blind eye, making Chinese rock music a historical A comprehensive but limited presentation.
Because of business needs, and because there are too many materials that lack hormones, and of course, because there is a man like Ma Dong who grew up in a traditional family and tried to be a good child, but was pushed by the times and was destined to lead. On the cusp of the era of mobile video, there is also a TV personality who can create commercial value. Therefore, he shaved his punk hair, wore jeans, and went into battle in person with a hippie image. Thanks to the death of Mr. Ma Ji, Otherwise, he wouldn't dare, or if Mr. Ma Ji sees this image of him, he will probably get up again and say, you can't do this. Isn't this a slap in my face? My old Ma family cannot afford to embarrass this person.
However, although it is due to commercial needs, we must still thank Ma Dong for going shirtless and seriously playing rock and roll with an entertainment mentality. Through various routines such as Running Man, Where Are We Going, Dad, and Singer, I was stunned. It turned an unentertaining rock music group into a variety show that is both elegant and popular. I believe that in the future, this sentence will be engraved on his tombstone: This is a person worth learning from!
A brief history of Chinese rock and roll: from Shucun to Hung Hom to Lexia
Because there are Therefore, the large bungalows in Shangdi became a holy place for rock lovers. To the west of Shangdi Road, there is a village with even more inconspicuous large bungalows, which became the Midi School students or not. The student's rental rehearsal place, called Shucun, is also a self-growing distribution center for Chinese rock music.
Here, the rent is cheap, the villagers don’t mind the sound of various musical instruments, and the sound of various rehearsals is no more than the decibel of a quarrel and fight in the next yard. In addition, there is an industrial chain driven by rent income, such as The villagers would tolerate it if they had noodles earlier.
In Beijing, you have to say that there are many cool places that you don’t know, but when you mention Shucun, at least in the hearts of music fans across the country and even the world, they all know where it is, in Zhongguancun, which is also a bungalow. To the north, the latitude and longitude point to 250.
The movie "Beijing Rock and Road" shot by Daniel Wu and Shu Qi Geng Le used Shucun in Beijing as a base and promoted Shucun well. Unfortunately, Shucun was not as good as Songzhuang. What became China's Tree Village was demolished in the eager anticipation of the villagers and wiped out by the wave of real estate. Now it is estimated that it is nowhere to be found.
Due to the rapid development of Zhongguancun, the large bungalows of Midi School will also be demolished and moved to the foot of Xiangshan Mountain. There was no point in existing. Everyone dispersed, and the band rehearsals continued to move north. The Northeast was prosperous and the Northwest was prosperous. Later, rock music no longer had a gathering place, not even a little bit of psychological support.
Hidden away from the city, rock music has entered thousands of households and is no longer exclusive to the niche diaosi.
In 1995, there was an American movie, which was first translated as "The Passion of 1995". It told the story of the prison escaper. Later, it was officially translated into "The Shawshank Redemption". There is a line in it, which is Free. What Man said: The wall is something you hate when you first come in, but gradually you get used to it, and in the end you can't live without it. This is the system.
Rock music is also an institution for me and us.
In 1993, a not-so-popular band in Hong Kong went to Japan to seek development. Then, because of promotion, they had to appear on a variety show and had an accident. The lead singer fell from a height and died. This fall directly affected the band's future. No more, but the band's fame has been brought to everyone on the street, and it has become the number one in Chinese rock music. The KTV singing rate has been the number one for 20 years. No band in Chinese rock music can compete with it.
On Christmas Day in 1994, three young men from the Mainland took to the Hung Hom Stadium with their original voices and not particularly beautiful melodies, and performed with black psychedelia, listless laziness and irritability. With his body and language, the best rock music in China's recorded history is presented to people in the world's financial centers. It not only shows the Chinese people, but also shows the results of the localization of Chinese and Western music to the whole world.
Why do I always have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land deeply...
A starting point that has been accumulated for a long time actually violates the definition of physics. There is no continuation of inertia. Before taking off, it has already fallen heavily to the ground. Like dinosaurs from the Cretaceous era.
Zhang Ju of the Tang Dynasty band died in a car accident on the Baishi Bridge due to drinking and riding a motorcycle. Rather than destroying the Tang Dynasty, it was better to say that it destroyed the entire Chinese rock music. Since then, it has never been the same again. It was not as exciting and dazzling as the concert in Hung Hom. It didn't even appear in the dream. It was just that a group of people said they saw Zhang Ju in their dreams, so they recorded a song "Gift", which was the first in mainland China. The door closed on a wave of rock music.
In 2004, rock music did not take off, but Super Girl and Fast Boy took off, and the Olympics were about to come again.
In 2014, rock music had not yet taken off, Cui Jian was also bald, and Dou Wei was also bald. They rode a small motorcycle through the streets every day, Zhang Chu returned to Xi'an, and He Yong was isolated and treated at home.
I originally thought that the world would continue to be boring like this. In 2019, Ma Dong was a little tired of the chat show, so he hatched "Summer of the Band" to bring the incense of Chinese rock music It finally continued, like a horse and a donkey’s bridal night.
Rock to the left, Chinese rock band to the right!
What is the most difficult team to manage in the world? It must be a rock band. What is more difficult to manage than a rock band? It must be a Chinese rock band. Moreover, China The fucking level of the rock band is beyond the world level, the most fucked up.
Anyway, regardless of the level of music, the level of personality and fucking is absolutely world-class. The Sex Pistols, Cobain Kurt, and ROSE are all rebellious, but compared to us, we are better than them and more powerful than him. Damn it.
Anyway, the disbandment of the band is the most rocking thing that every rock band does, even more than their music itself. This is our contribution to world rock music.
In last year’s Lexia, Ma Dong was probably depressed and didn’t know how to deal with them. If he spoke too softly, he would appear to be flattering, and if he spoke too harshly, he would be afraid of a direct fight. Of course, Ma Dong is still capable, holding the left hand Holding banknotes in his right hand and holding fans in his right hand, he commands the world. Therefore, most people are still willing to follow Ma Dong’s RMB, because after all, they have been timid for so many years, and they are not afraid of timidity this time.
The new pants of the year have now become more sophisticated and have taken the revitalization of rock music as their own responsibility. Therefore, those who do not know the contestants try their best to say good things and encourage them to create a good atmosphere. A real-life sex show where a rock band reunites.
Peng Lei said that he called Houhai Shark to invite him to participate in the show, but his buddy replied and said that I swore to our band that I would never participate in Lexia.
Fortunately, Ma Dong always used a self-deprecating attitude to face the most difficult Chinese rock bands in the world. He finished recording the first season without incident and also ignited the business of Chinese rock music. market.
The second season did not come as promised, but it also broke through various restrictions and returned. The audience came to have fun wearing masks after taking nucleic acid tests, which can be regarded as a miracle in the history of rock music.
Over the past two seasons of Summer of the Band, a common theme has been that it has become very warm, with no edges at all, just like Ma Dong’s state after working at CCTV for several years, everything is stable Hello Hello Hello everyone.
Dou Wei’s brother-in-law Yadong, from the first season, is all good, there is nothing bad, even if he wants to say bad, but he also uses understatement and gentle and perfunctory words that are kind to others. His The reviews are extremely asymmetrical to his musical talent, maybe that's just the way to go in this world.
Pu Shu has the same personality as always. During last year's finals, he said he would go to bed at ten o'clock in the evening, but he really left when recording at ten o'clock, leaving Ma Dong, Gao Xiaosong Yadong and the others there and going back alone. I went to bed. I really don’t know how Pu Shu slept that night.
This year, all the bands have fully learned how to integrate. Anyway, they encourage each other, just like the super girl competition routine, hugging, shaking hands and even crying, a familiar recipe and a familiar taste.
Maybe everyone is really old and has experienced too many worldly experiences; maybe rock and roll is really dead, and now it is just a show, and you need to perform it according to the regulations and get the money. That's the last word; maybe, just like the song "Dancing Girl" sings, maybe there is no more possibility.
Champion, doctrine in words, business in heart!
This year’s champion is also full of tricks. I guess he also learned the tricks of "Singer" and "Supergirl". You vote for you, and I will use my tricks, no matter it is Elimination or resurrection, anyway, the performance is performed according to the script. The most popular Wutiao people are Diaosi among the Diaosi, a capital Diaosi. The script of elimination and resurrection seems to be designed for him. Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang cannot write such a script. Ma Dong did it.
However, in the end, Director Ma was stunned and gave the championship to the band Reshape. It is not that the strength of Reshape is not worthy of this championship, but that Wutiao people are more popular. From the repertoire voting, Wutiao The person ranked first, and in the second round of random casting, it is estimated that water can be mixed in at this time, and the result can be according to Director Ma's script.
One can also predict with one’s feet that during the random investment stage, there will be more people who like Wutiao people than reshapes. However, the result is that reshapes are the most popular. Even Sima Zhao despises this kind of secret operation. However, Director Ma did not Sima, so there is no burden when playing it, and the skill in playing it surpasses Nolan's "Inception".
But the result is not important. No one particularly cares about who is the champion. They just hope that Chinese rock music can produce more excellent works.
Lexia will definitely have a third season next year. However, according to the laws of the earth's rotation and the short-lived rules of "The Strange Story", "Supergirl" and "Singer", it will be cool after five seasons at most. Then came another long dark hour for rock music.
However, I didn’t know where I was at that time, whether I was in heaven or returning to the human world to continue my new dream of rock music.
The great guitarist and band soul Van Halen passed away on October 6. He should have been sent to the world by God to save mankind. Now, he has completed his mission and returned to life. Now He can cooperate with Jackson again, or in which year they will come back to the world under another name and bring good music to save mankind.
The world is about to end, but rock and roll is not!
