If you want to talk about the most popular variety show in the near future, it must be "Singer 2024", which meets the audience every Friday. Under the live broadcast system, whether it is the real performance and reaction of the singers, or the competition of the unveiling and rushing competition system, it has aroused great curiosity among the audience. Especially last Friday, singer-songwriter Xu Jun performed well in the final unveiling competition and successfully entered the team of "online singers", while fellow singer Yuan Yawei left with regret.
In an interview with reporters, Xu Jun admitted that he came to exchange music with a peaceful attitude, but the mood for the success of the unveiling of the chart was really complicated, "Because I like Tia (Yuan Yawei) very much, and I don't want to leave because of my successful unveiling of Tia (Yuan Yawei)." I was so sorry at the time. ”
Talking about his next journey in "Singer 2024", Xu Jun said that he will strive to convey his music concept: "I want to communicate music with everyone and show my understanding of music. I didn't think of it as a competitive competition. ”
The fate of the creative talent and "The Singer".
Who is Xu Jun?
"I'm not Zheng Jun, I'm not Xu Song, I'm Xu Jun." As he himself introduced in the show, people who know him are always moved by his music again and again.
As early as 2015, Xu Jun jumped into the public eye with the song "Myself", and the emotion of "remember not to be the enemy of your ordinariness" in the song touched the hearts of many fans. The following year, his debut album "Wan Songling" won recognition for his super creative ability. In 2017, he released his solo single "29", which told about the mood of the upcoming stand. This year is Xu Jun's "explosive year", he won awards one after another with his new album "Expectation Collection", and became a recognized powerful singer-songwriter in the circle.
But what is surprising is that Xu Jun's fate with "Singer" was actually planted early: back then, Zhang Jie sang Xu Jun's song "Myself" when he participated in "Singer", and now it is on "Singer 2024", Xu Jun brought his masterpiece "29", "I pay more attention to the expression of content when choosing songs, and the songs I choose have some consistency with my own expression, which is the most important criterion for me to consider."
From the former "Good Songs of China" to the current "Singer 2024", the music variety show stage has witnessed Xu Jun's growth and transformation. He admitted that he could clearly feel that he had "grown up", "I felt that I just needed a chance back then, and now that I watch "Singer", I am very grateful to have this stage, and I don't regard it as a special competitive competition."
At the same time, he said that what is presented on stage is the real self, "I am not very embellished, what is my understanding of music, what I am as a person, what I am like when I dress, I am what I am, what I am in private, I am what I am (on stage)."
From "Iron Spoon" to "Relaxation"
At the age of 17, he traveled alone in Hangzhou, sang in bars and formed a band; At the age of 27, he made his debut on the stage of a large-scale music comprehensive and became famous; At the age of 36, he broke out of his own world in front of and behind the scenes...... Looking back at Xu Jun's artistic path, there are difficulties in self-knowledge, as well as the harvest of perseverance and perseverance.
In this regard, Xu Jun said with a smile that he once dismantled the word "Jun" into an "iron spoon" to encourage himself, "In the Northwest dialect, 'spoon' means fool." The iron spoon gives me the impression that it is a little harder and more silly than a normal spoon. When I was a child, my family said that stupid people are stupid, so I wanted to be more upright and simpler. ”
He believes that the changes in me over the years are mainly related to the people around me, "My friends have always been there to help me and give me energy when I have no energy, including my lover, which is a very important part of my change."
Therefore, Xu Jun is now more relaxed about concerts, "I also liked to show off my skills for a while, but now I slowly feel that music is music, and music is just a way to express myself." Especially from "Myself" to "29", Xu Jun thinks that he is calmer and less impatient, "As for the (place) that has not changed, it is that I know that I am still me, and I have not changed in my bones." ”
Talking about the advice for young musicians, Xu Jun bluntly said that he should "keep creating": "The energy that music creation brings to people is infinite, which may not be brought by AI or some new technological means." I think the scorching heat of communicating with people and music is above all else. ”
