At the end of 2019, this song "Meng Po's Bowl" is on fire again! But it seemed that for Wei Jiayi, everything had not changed. She is still calmly doing songs, performing, live streaming... As she herself said: "This song has been 12 years, a reincarnation, the cover songs are all on fire, just like my original song"
The memory should be in 2014, Shen Yongge, the boss of Bamboo Book Culture, where I worked, said to me: "I may have found a second Yang Kun, you talk to her..."Everything is very natural, and the person who is favored by Shen I know what it means...
One afternoon, I met "Female Yang Kun" in Zhushu's office in the Caochangchangchang Art District, when Jiayi had just returned from studying in Germany and was still stationed at the famous "Orchid Club" and set up her own band "Hot Orchestra". She brought me 2 albums released when she was in college in Xi'an.
It contains her hot songs such as "Meng Po's Bowl" and "Women Like Smoke", and that day she chatted a lot, talking about her brilliant experience of running and singing in Xi'an, talking about the promotion and help of her mentor Mu Zhen, and copying the music she made on the hard disk to me.
That's when I learned that she was obsessed with that kind of "energetic" electronic sound. I bought an Apple notebook, installed a LOGIC and began to arrange music. Also excited to show me the band MV of their own director's clip... That year, she was an uncompromising young literary and artistic woman. Although the arrangement is still very young, it does not affect her brilliance and ambition as a musician. So we naturally choose songs, pick songs, and make songs! Gradually, there was the prototype of the "A&B" album. Mainly to reflect the two sides of Wei Jiayi's music, the A side is a network hot song, and the B side is a trend electric sound. At that time, the song production was mostly complete...
Life is always full of variables: in 2015, Wei Jiayi participated in the second season of "China's Good Songs", in order to be able to qualify, she only had to give up the contract of Bamboo Book, and successfully became the "star student" of the Haiquan group, the next tour, the EP, that year, Su Yunying's light was unmaskable by any musician, Wei Jiayi soon returned to flatness... We also almost lost contact.
It was three years after seeing her again, when she was YY's Gold Anchor and had her own guild. I heard that I made a lot of money haha. She has just ended a relationship and still can't give up her music. So we released Wei Jiayi's "A&B" album, which was snapped up by her fans on the first day of launch. The small space for the album's premiere was crowded in by more than 300 people without any publicity.
The anchor industry is still a "youth meal", basically no time of its own. After the expiration of the platform, Wei Jiayi decided to give herself a charging period, during which she created a lot of her own songs. He also sang the "Lifeng Project" and "Jiuming Music" many other people's works, most of them also saw the heat of "Meng Po's Bowl" and wanted to continue this heat... But there doesn't seem to be much movement either.
In my eyes, Wei Jiayi still wants to make my own music happily. So there was the album "Hot High Temperature", which was a bit of a patchwork. Most of them are demos before 2014, which Wei Jiayi composed and composed and arranged and recorded. In fact, there are some finished products, but they are not put in. I also think that the studio works of those big-name arrangements sound without Wei Jiayi's "taste", and it is better to simply mix the demos and send them out. Now the TME platform also has a variety of "Star Project" for musicians, maybe there will be a different effect.
This album may not be a big hit, it's not so electric, and it's even a bit dirty to take out now, but I still think it should be heard by her fans, good music shouldn't be buried, and it at least represents the state of her creation five years ago. Also right to rub the heat of "Meng Po's bowl"... Those who have loved, those things that cannot be put down, those countless sorrows and joys in the rolling red dust will only freeze on the NaiHe Bridge forever with the slow entry of "Meng Po Soup" into the throat.

Wei Jiayi's creative notes
"Hot High Temperature"
This work is the first original music of the establishment of the hot band, all the inspiration comes from the name of the band, when I first formed the band, the English name was Joy & Heat, mainly to sing dance music and electronic music, and later the English name is not very convenient, and according to the meaning of the English name Chinese name, it is called "hot". One day there was nothing to discuss that there should be an original song, so there was a division of labor, everyone unanimously elected the guitarist Big Mao to write lyrics, because usually he is more stinky fart, talk a lot of words, the arrangement is naturally me, because usually the orchestra performance of the music adaptation is me to do, the composition is not fixed, who has a good melody is who.
The first song must reflect the style of the band, so Da Mao students conceived of the hot high temperature this is completely dance music style lyrics, inspiration comes from the word "hot", a look to know that he said more, to know that the original lyrics than now more than twice, is my composition process again screened again, I also accumulated many years of ideas are poured into this song, so this song took me a month to choreograph, which integrated dance music, electronic, dubstep, rap, light rap, It took a week to practice rap. It can be said that this song is a landmark song for our band, and since then we have begun to study and create original works.
"Baidu can't find"
This is a witty work by the hot band, a kind of satire, introspection and self-deprecation of real life. Can you believe that there are still things that cannot be searched by the Internet today? Listen to what we young musicians really want to say and the attitude to life!
"Worship of Expectation"
Who doesn't expect to worship it,, and that day had a dream of becoming a superstar....
"The Tears of the Dandelion"
Please ignore my love, allow me to exist in your life, please look up when you are sad, I will surely float in your sky
The Sixth Freshness
This song is about that most people now are more impetuous, every day to contact a lot of information, a large number of people, has become numb, we should keep a child's heart, the world always has a sense of freshness, constantly explore a person, a thing, a feeling, there will be constant surprises, maybe the sixth freshness is just the right time.
"Step by Step"
Always falling, still starting, learning to hug and lean on
The so-called beauty is to cherish every minute and second of the present
At two o'clock in the morning, the rain became lighter
This is my thirty pages of life
"SexY Thief Demo"
Does not like to walk,Cannot ride a horse
how you can dance, it's a escandolo
(I don't like to walk He can't ride the horse
How can one dance It is a scandal)
Dancing together, nothing to say
"Dinner Party Demo of Special Things"
The cause of the matter is this, I had a birthday treat, afraid that everyone gave gifts, did not mention the birthday thing, only said that the band's buddies and family members gathered, everyone said that they could come, and the result was that the day one after another big phone calls said that they could not come, gave me angry ah, and finally only I and the bassist had a birthday, afterwards everyone blamed me for not saying it clearly in advance, and my summary was that the character was not good, the character problem was the character problem. I didn't talk to them in those days, not even during the performance, so Da Mao wrote this lyric, saying that the inspiration came from this incident! Alas, after that, everyone is still a good buddy!
"Immodest Girl Demo"
In the eyes of the world, the immodest girl is precisely the true temperament, some stubborn, some crazy, some rebellious, but persistently pursuing their own goals, persistently pursuing their own love. If you don't play your cards according to common sense, so what!
