"Through the dark years
I also felt hesitant
The moment you lower your head
Only then did I realize the path under my feet.”
While Gu Jiahui and others were commenting, the second main song had already started playing. And every time they hear these lyrics, everyone always feels full of power, as if something is growing and taking root in their hearts.
Going through the dark years, you have also felt hesitant. When you lower your head, you realize the road under your feet...
What great lyrics.
In fact, in addition to expressing respect for Master Xuanzang, "Blue Lotus" also had many stories that happened to Xu Wei before creating "Blue Lotus".
When he was young, Xu Wei longed for the outside world and dreamed of traveling to the ends of the world with his sword. In order to see the prosperity of the world, he picked up a guitar and set out on the road to Beidiao.
Xu Wei's personal ability is very strong. At the age of 18, he won the first prize in the duet of XA City's first guitar playing and singing competition. However, in the entertainment industry, Xu Wei undoubtedly belongs to the "three noes": no money, no connections, and no background. , which also determines that his journey to the north is destined to be full of thorns.
Xu Wei started his acting career in 1991. From 1991 to 1994, he composed hundreds of songs. However, he did not cause any splash in the entertainment industry and did not officially release an album.
In October 1994, Xu Wei signed a contract with Red Star Production Company with his works and released several singles. His strong humanistic color made him a contemporary youth music idol on the same level as Cui Jian, Zheng Jun, Zhang Chu, etc., and he is somewhat famous.
But he is still poor. Like most Beipiao people, he lives in a basement, which is cramped, damp, and dark. The sun never shines in. He is depressed every day and smells of alcohol. Once a friend asked him to go out to play. He rummaged through his pockets and found only 20 yuan.
The depressive light rock of the first album "Elsewhere" is related to the embarrassing living environment during this period. In autumn in the capital, the sun was shining brightly outside the window, but Xu Wei could not feel any warmth. Just like his style of music, it is full of despair and helplessness, and occasionally reveals his longing for the future.
Speaking of the album "Elsewhere", in fact, if "Persistence", sung by Tian Zhen and written and composed by Xu Wei, had not become popular all over the country in 1995, Red Star might not have helped Xu Wei release this album.
It can be seen that Xu Wei's path to music has never been smooth.
Perhaps because he was confused about life, Xu Wei walked aimlessly on the journey. Every cold night on the road in a foreign land, longing hurt him like a knife, and he looked so lonely standing among the crowd. Missing his hometown and his lover, and confused about his future path, he was helpless and had no idea where to go. Under severe mental pressure, he suffered from depression.
During this period, Xu Wei got up every day, did not brush his teeth, washed his face, played music, did nothing, and just sat in the park all day. The suffering of depression and hesitation made him struggle internally, and he even considered giving up music and going into business.
One day, Xu Wei was lying on the grass, put on his headphones, and turned on the MP3 player in his hand. At this moment, he had not touched music for more than a year. The graceful melody passed through the earphone cord, slowly injecting into his body like blood. At that moment, he felt unprecedentedly excited, passionate, and alive, as if he had been given a new life. After fighting for so long, he had to admit that he still couldn't live without music.
Xu Wei listened to his inner call and returned to the path of music. As soon as he returned, he solemnly declared his desire and persistence for music.
Xu Wei, who has emerged from darkness and depression, brought back the album "Time Walking". The music style of this album is warm, beautiful, bright, brilliant and joyful. Compared with Xu Wei's previous music, it is full of changes.
The loneliness, despair, and sadness of the past can almost no longer be found in the lyrics. Instead, they are concise and grand, brilliant, and bright. People can experience his gentleness and persistence from the changing colors of his music.
The album was also a huge success, gaining both performance and reputation. Xu Wei won three awards for Best Rock Album, Best Rock Singer and Best Rock Single on the Third Music Chart for "Time Walking", becoming a well-deserved highlight of the night.
The title song "Swan Journey" highlights Xu Wei's solid life experience in recent years: those tolerance and openness extracted from suffering, those sensitive and exciting passions not only deconstruct the vanity and power of music itself, but also make life appear The power of calmness.
But compared to the title song, Wang Xuan prefers "Blue Lotus". The most widely circulated song in this album is "Blue Lotus".
"The free world in my heart
So clear and far away
Blooming and never fading
blue lotus
La la la la”
Wang Xuan finished singing, and the lingering sound echoed in everyone's ears. After a while, everyone stood up and applauded Wang Xuan wildly. The audience was chanting the name of "White Tiger" crazily, including several judges.
"That's great! This song "Blue Lotus" is great. Mr. Baihu, you have given everyone another classic on this stage." Wang Banbi was a little incoherent.
"It's really great. There are no heroic words in the lyrics, and there are no ups and downs in the melody. The whole song is sung in a calm and peaceful tone, but it is shocking."
"Nothing can stop you from your yearning for freedom... There is no need for any prelude. The moment I heard these lyrics, a lot of power seemed to be growing in my body, and my fighting spirit was high for a moment."
"The free world in my heart is so clear and lofty, blooming with blue lotuses that will never fade...these are the same lines. It is obviously a ballad, but it actually has a rock and roll flavor, which makes people full of power."
"Boss White Tiger, this "Blue Lotus" should be an inspirational song, right? It symbolizes a kind of spiritual power: the yearning and persistence for freedom, which can be found in times of hardship and decadence, among the ubiquitous shackles Hope and your own direction, stand up and keep moving forward?”
"Yes, on the road of pursuing dreams, you may have been hesitant, helpless, confused, and lonely, but as long as you persist, you will be able to rely on your own strength to walk out of the Sunshine Avenue, and your dreams will eventually come true. Kindness blooms into a blue lotus that never fades," Wang Xuan said.
"That's great, that's great. In the journey of life, there will always be ferocious years, there will always be ideals that will be disillusioned, there will always be light that will be swallowed up by darkness, there will always be withering that comes quietly... But so what? ? Nothing can stop the years from being silently kind to life, stop ideals from shining into reality, and stop the light from extending endlessly at dawn. As long as you have faith and grit your teeth and persevere, your dreams will eventually bloom into a blue lotus that never fades." Gu Jiahui said.
Wang Xuan gave Gu Jiahui a thumbs up when he heard this.
At the end of the review, Gu Jiahui and others gave Wang Xuan four more 9.9 points. The less than 0.1 points were also given to prevent Wang Xuan from being proud.
During the voting session, Wang Xuan still received 495 votes, a frighteningly high score.
The corners of Prince Lanling's mouth twitched, thinking that it was a good thing he didn't provoke him just now, otherwise he would have been slapped in the face again. Sure enough, being famous is not as good as meeting him. Baihu is so awesome. I don’t know who the big boss is.
Prince Lanling instantly felt the pressure increase.
Peony, Pixiu, and White Lotus were all speechless.
too strong! The White Tiger is simply too strong and leaves no room for survival at all.
As for Orchid, she is almost crying.
"Woooo! Why am I so unlucky? I appeared behind the white tiger boss twice. How can I play? Barbie is Q!"
It was indeed over. After Lanhua came on the stage, she sang a love song, a sad love song that could make the audience sing. Her performance was acceptable, and several judges gave her good reviews. However, the audience did not react at all. Looking sickly, the applause was sparse. During the voting, Lanhua only received 360 votes.
This vote has actually pronounced her death sentence. Even if she gets 500 full votes in the second round, it is almost impossible to advance.
Really.. Barbie Q!
