Many young people have said: Who is this person? Even pop stars such as Andy Lau Jackie Chan have to sing with others. How can he sing solo for 3 minutes and 49 seconds in the Spring Festival Evening?
However, my parents excitedly began to sing along. By the way, this song is about a sad love story between a shepherd and a bee picker.
Some parents even took the opportunity to start Amway, saying that he was a very popular singer, composing and singing by himself, and "Standing for You for 3,000 Years" and "Love and Grace" were super good. ...
Yes, Wang Qi has been on the Internet for a long time.
However, many young people who claimed to be Internet surfers heard his name for the first time after the Spring Festival Gala.
Who the hell is he? How did you make a sensation in the whole country with your songs?
What kind of sad course is behind the beautiful and sad singing?
1986, Wang Qi was born in a small mountain village in Xiuyan, Anshan City, Liaoning Province. Her parents are out-and-out farmers, and she has a sister at home.
The village is very small, with less than 100 households. The village is also very poor, and everyone lives by farming. When Wang Qi was seven or eight years old, she began to help her parents grow corn-specifically, to help spread corn seeds.
This kind of place is so simple that it seems a bit out of place to use words like "music and dreams".
Not to mention the village, not even the town, not even a place for music training.
In his life, the only thing related to music may be his father. Before the production team met, he sang the Northeast Drum Book.
When Wang Qi graduated from junior high school, his family wanted him to learn cooking or hairdressing-he had to learn a craft to support himself.
But Wang Qi wants to go to art school.
This is actually a very unreliable decision-he actually had no concept of music at that time.
What is even more unreliable is that his parents actually agreed.
-my son's dream, no matter what, we must fully support it.
Art school is expensive, but the family is poor. Finally, the third uncle pays the tuition-the third uncle has money at home and is an electrician in the village.
However, a formal art school is definitely not affordable.
Finally, Wang Qi went to a "nothing" private training school with no academic certificate and no major. The teacher teaches everything about vocal music, bodybuilding and dancing.
Many students laughed at the school, but Wang Qi was grateful. He finally walked out of the small mountain village where he grew up and finally began to work hard to realize his dream.
In 2004, Wang Qi, who graduated from college, took a few hundred dollars and started a trip to Beijing with confidence.
His senior introduced him to sing in a bar and told him that running a venue can make money!
As a result, when Wang Qi sang for the first time, she screwed up. It's not that she can't sing, but she hasn't been with a band. Looking at the expressionless faces of the band brothers, he immediately panicked.
The hundreds of dollars he brought with him were spent in a few days. Fortunately, a fellow villager introduced him to a dance team. At this time, the advantages of Xiaopo Art School, regardless of major, were finally highlighted, and he had a place to live.
But this is not a long-term solution after all.
A few months later, Wang Qi went back to singing, and this time she was able to keep up with the band-when she was on the dance team, she met the band brothers and found that they were not so terrible.
He finally began to earn money. He can earn more than 200 yuan by running three venues a day.
Wang Qi proudly called home: "This is not just being a chef!"
In 2005, Wang Qi wrote her first song.
After writing, I went to a recording studio in Zhengzhou, Henan Province by train. After some bargaining, I spent a huge sum of money 1200 to make music, accompany and record a CD. I returned to Beijing triumphantly, feeling that I was going to be angry soon.
After returning to the bar, he began to sing his own songs, hoping that the audience could find the superstar in the karaoke room.
After singing for only one day, the boss stopped him and said politely, "Just sing the original song."
Wang Qi suffered a heavy blow-not only her spirit, but also her wallet.
What he didn't know at that time was that in the next ten years, all he faced on the music road was a blow.
After staying in Beijing for more than two years, Wang Qi finally decided to pat his ass and leave, and then he traveled all over every province of the motherland.
It sounds too romantic, but it's not the wandering singer you imagined to pursue your dreams.
He walks around just to make money by singing-the price is higher outside Beijing.
In 2009, he went to Urumqi in Xinjiang. Then I decided not to go.
This residence is 10 year.
It was then that he decided not to perform any more.
He couldn't imagine being a resident singer in a bar in his thirties and forties-trying to sing to a group of drunken people while they were listening, or not listening to his voice at all.
He decided to start his life in a down-to-earth manner, found a cultural media company and began to be the most ordinary migrant worker.
At that time, he planned that Andhadhun and the lighting engineer ... did everything.
One month's salary, 3500.
This money can only be said to be barely living.
He can only be a wedding host on weekends, and he has been doing it for several years.
Fortunately, in those years when he had nothing, nothing and never polished his dreams, he met his wife, a national second-class erhu player, a beautiful girl from Xi, Shaanxi.
They got married in Xinjiang, gave birth to a lively and lovely daughter, and lived a simple and happy life.
He is still writing songs, but most of them are sold to others-he needs to support his family, and his and his wife's income is only enough to maintain food and clothing and mortgage.
The price he sells is always very cheap, and sometimes it may not be sold.
In 20 17, a northeast singer asked him to write a song, and he paid 2000 yuan-including arrangement and accompaniment (the value of 1200 was as early as 2005).
Yes, he later learned to arrange and accompany.
He writes very carefully. I remember my father once said angrily, "Look at you young people playing music and losing all the folk things in Northeast China."
The song he wrote has the color of northeast minor.
However, the singer's evaluation of this song is only one sentence: "Brother, this is not a song."
Without the following, he sang this song himself, passed it on the internet, and then continued to work, paid off the mortgage and earned money for milk powder.
This song, which became popular all over the country and was sung by countless duet actors, is "Lover's Fan".
Six months later, during the Spring Festival of 20 18, he received numerous phone calls and text messages from his old classmates and friends who had not been in contact for 800 years. Tell him: I heard your songs in the street!
He finally got angry.
Many brokers in Beijing also called him and sent private messages, and he finally got Shang Yan.
He knew that he was finally popular.
It took him 13 years to graduate from art school in 2004 and finally become popular.
13 years, no one has ever said that his songs are good.
It was also the first time that he really understood the power of the Internet. He began to broadcast live, and the following comments were:
This song is enough.
He doesn't know enough.
This red color is too fragile.
In the Internet age where information is changing rapidly, every fifteen minutes, one person may become famous, but it is a hot spot. Once the heat passes, it will get lost in the information ocean of Wang Yang and be forgotten by everyone as soon as possible.
Soon, another singer asked him to write a song. He wrote Standing Waiting for You for 3000 Years. In this song, he mixed the images of snow-capped mountains, grasslands, yurts, Populus euphratica, etc. The whole song has a strong ethnic flavor in Xinjiang.
The other party still didn't like it, so they had to sing it again by themselves.
This song is popular again.
Next, he began to write and revise it countless times since he was a child, and continued to revise it after becoming a father-singing the love and grace of his parents, which became popular.
Almost at that time, homesick Wang Qi decided to take his wife and daughter back to Liaoning, but Xinjiang, which has lived for 10 years, has become his second hometown, and there are too many feelings to give up.
He remembers that in those years when he first came to Xinjiang to do planning, once the company took over the plan of an open-air camp in Cocoto Sea, and the designer brought back many beautiful photos.
Looking through those photos again, he was inspired and wrote a song about love in Xinjiang to express his attachment to this beautiful place.
This is "The Shepherd of Cocoto Sea".
At this time, he has become a production machine for explosive music. His music has been played as background sound for countless times in Tik Tok, or covered by network celebrities, or become a square dance divine comedy. ...
The only embarrassment is that he has always been a popular singer.
I feel that yxh is flying all over the sky in Weibo. This data is simply sad to hear and tears to watch.
Fortunately, the shepherds in Cocoto Sea are also very popular.
-this time, it is not ordinary red, but a veritable red.
Some bloggers counted its broadcast volume.
It's horrible. 3.3 billion.
Interestingly, it is also very popular in Tik Tok, live broadcast and square dance, and many young people living in Bali, Weibo and Zhihu have never heard of it.
This is an era of rapid development and mutual separation. The family seems to live in the same time and space, facing the same screen, but in fact they live in different worlds.
Is it the daily necessities of plain life, or the Dai Yue of migrant workers, or the coolness of the new generation?
Driven by the big algorithm, people can only see what they want to see and are interested in, and then further solidify their cognition according to this information, and then know nothing about the outside world. Isolated from the real world.
This is what we call the "information cocoon room".
Just as migrant workers don't know the square dance recorder in the same community, in Cocoto Sea, a shepherd fell in love with a beekeeper, and his parents felt sad for their love story.
Until Wang Qi put it on the Spring Festival Evening stage.
National concern.
Such an ordinary and simple little person was born in the countryside, lived in the city, traveled all over the country, met many friends of different nationalities, worked as an artist, and was both a son and a father.
He spent more than ten years of his own efforts, telling his true feelings, and relying on the communication power of the Internet, he stepped onto the stage of the Spring Festival Evening from ordinary grassroots.
Then one night, with his simple singing voice, he strung together the feelings of many ordinary people.
It is this song that makes the whole family sit quietly in front of the TV screen and listen to a simple and beautiful melody; Let the children suddenly realize that parents also have a colorful spiritual life.
At a certain moment, the information gap separated by countless small screens on weekdays can be bridged; It also makes families who always complain that they can't understand each other * * * affectionate.
What's more, many people-rich and poor, old and young, regardless of nationality-have warm and common memories in a Spring Festival.
-This is also the significance of the Spring Festival Evening.
