was ridiculed and announced his retirement from the circle
After 11 years, the new album has blown up the entertainment industry
Singer of the people
Recently, it was swiped by Daolang!
On September 21st and September 22nd, Daolang's national tour was held in Chengdu, and online concerts were opened simultaneously to interact with fans.
This concert was sold out as soon as it went on sale. The 18,000-person venue was packed, and nearly 100,000 fans piled up outside the venue.
Online is even more exaggerated, with more than 52 million views and more than 600 million likes, which directly refreshed the record of online concerts.
The new album "Mountain Songs" also achieved remarkable results.
In the album, the song "Rakshasa Haishi" alone exceeded 8 billion views in 11 days, and this kind of album also won the Top Ten Chinese Record Awards in 2023 at the Chinese Golden Melody Awards.
Before Daolang withdrew from the circle, everyone talked about his songs.
After making a comeback with "Mountain Songs", Daolang's reputation reversed: This is art!
01
"Song of the Mountains"
A group of songs with distinctive art
In 2013, Daolang withdrew from the circle.
Although everyone on the rivers and lakes will come to the two sentences of "the first snow in 2002", no one knows what Daolang is doing and what he is doing.
Until July last year, Daolang brought "Mountain Songs" back to the audience's field of vision.
It not only blew up the music circle, but also the literary circle.
Chen Yong, a professor at the School of Music of Central China Normal University, spoke highly of the album.
He believes that "Mountain Songs" is a group of songs with complete artistic conception and distinctive artistic image, which has both Daolang's personality and national characteristics.
He Yizhou, a master of Tsinghua Sinology, believes that Daolang's music has a deeper ideological and cultural value, and does not belong to the chaotic and bad entertainment industry.
He also praised Daolang as a singer in the hearts of the people, and his music carries a profound sense of Confucian responsibility.
What kind of work makes music professors and masters of Chinese culture give such high praise?
Savor "Mountain Songs", I really can't understand it without culture.
"Mountain Songs" mainly sings the story of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai".
"Mountain song" refers to folk songs, and "few ya" is the homonym of Liaozhai. Using the folk singing method to sing classic literary stories, this is the tone of the entire album of "Mountain Songs".
The whole song of "Overture" is close to 5 minutes, with only four lyrics, which is magnificent and sonorous.
"Kyushu mountain songs
One call and nine wild voices are generous
I still remember how sad the world is
Go out early in the morning and never come home".
Taken from "Lu's Spring and Autumn Period", there are nine sons in the sky, there are Kyushu in the earth, there are so many mountain songs in Kyushu, and the vocal rhythm is more generous, which is used to sing folk things, and the people in the world are just right.
The first sentence of "The Negative of the Future" "Yesterday was like a feather dance, and today is the fox and rabbit cave in the north" cites two classics.
The feather dance is from "Ni Dress Feather Song", and the North Fox Rabbit Cave is from "Caigen Tan", the original text is "Looking at the thorn hazel of the Western Jin Dynasty, it is still a white blade; The fox rabbit belonging to the north still cherishes gold. ”
Pianpian, Daolang
In "Pianpian", "Handan Dream, Ancient and Modern", the source is Handan Dream in "Four Dreams of Linchuan".
"The person who came alone with green plantain cherries" is a poem of "A Cut Plum".
The "Wildfire Spring Breeze and Grass Separation" in "Mirror Listening" is our "separation from the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered." ”
Mirror listening, Daolang
The most out-of-the-circle album is "Rakshasa Sea City".
sings a satirical novel by Pu Songling, where people regard ugliness as beauty, and Ma Ji, a handsome guy from the west, can't accept it, just like Daolang's own experience.
There are also works such as "Pearl", "Painted Wall" and "Painted Skin", all of which are stories in Liaozhai.
The whole work is a carrier of culture and literature.
Literary and artistic are the evaluations given by many critics in the literary world.
But for an excellent musical work, it is not enough to rely on literature and artistry. Melody is also part of the music.
"Mountain Songs" collects many folk songs across the country.
"Overture" uses the tune of Guangxi's mountain songs;
"Flower Demon" uses the tone of Tianjin;
"Lu Nanke" uses the flower tune that is spread in Qinghai, Gansu and other places - I have no choice but to tune it......
In addition, the album also contains Shanxi's noisy five tunes, embroidered purse tunes, Zhejiang's Taoist tunes, northern Shaanxi's storytelling tunes, Hebei blowing songs, planting seedlings and so on.
Integrate traditional culture and classic literature into the national rhythm, and people can learn literary stories and national culture by listening to music.
What is national is what is global.
Beautiful melody, classic story, "Mountain Song" has become!
Daolang said in an interview before retiring from the circle that he hoped that he could do more ethnic things.
After a 11-year absence, he took out "Mountain Songs", and he proved himself again.
Have literary attainments, cultural foundation, artistic creativity, and a sense of national inheritance...
is such a person who polishes his works with heart and has cultural heritage, but he has been ridiculed to the point of withdrawing from the circle.
02
Born out of nowhere
to the downcast and out of the circle
Speaking of Daolang's withdrawal from the circle, we still have to start with "The First Snow in 2002".
Daolang followed his wife to live in Xinjiang in 1995, and for a period of time since then, he has been exposed to Xinjiang folk music.
He also set up a music studio here, composed with local folk music, and released several albums, but never made a splash.
On a winter night in 2002, it suddenly snowed heavily at the Kunlun Hotel in Xinjiang. A friend who was traveling with Daolang said, "This is the first snow in 2002."
This sentence inspired Daolang's creation.
It took two years to revise and optimize, and finally in 2004, "The First Snow of 2002" was officially launched.
As soon as it was launched, it became popular all over the country.
At the beginning of the millennium, it was an era of fighting with immortals in the music world, and Daolang was almost born with a crushing advantage.
Genuine sales reached 2.7 million copies, what is the concept?
The sales of superstars Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung are only 300,000 copies. Jay Chou, who was popular back then, could only rank second in sales.
Daolang, a folk singer who suddenly appeared, landed in the entertainment industry.
At the same time, he also temporarily won the Best Chinese Male Singer Award at the 5th Chinese Music Media Awards and the "Popular Album Award" at the 5th China Golden Record Awards.
Just when everyone thought that Daolang was just lucky for a flash in the pan, he quickly conquered the audience with his super creative ability.
"Impulsive Punishment", "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing", "Love is You and Me", "Love Song of the West Sea", etc., each of them is true, catchy, and highly sung.
Daolang thus ushered in the first batch of "rice" (Daolang fan name).
Like, everything is going in a good direction.
However, in 2010, the unexpected happened.
In 2010, the "Music Billboard Ten Year Ceremony" was selected, and the judges refused to be shortlisted for the top ten singers of the year on the grounds of "lack of aesthetics".
Since then, there have been more and more voices that disapprove of Daolang.
"Daolang's songs have no quality, they can't be called music at all"
"Wang Feng thinks that Daolang's songs are not artistic, they are all superficial expressions"
"Daolang's album will be thrown directly into the trash..."
"Daolang's song set pop music back 15 years"
As soon as these voices came out, public opinion reversed, and Daolang "collapsed".
Many people have turned from liking to disliking Daolang's song customs, earth.
Faced with so many gossips and ridicule for the first time, Daolang's choice was to escape.
He planned to flee to the northwest, find a place where no one knew him, and hide.
When he arrived in Gansu, as soon as he got out of the car, he saw a big poster that read "Look at Daolang with a cold eye", and he was so frightened that he got into the car and fled.
In 2013, Daolang retired from the circle and faded out of the audience's field of vision. In the past ten years, he has been "hiding" in Xinjiang and silently doing his folk music.
Therefore, as soon as "Mountain Songs are Few" came out, it was not only about cultural inheritance and compassion in the world, but also about Daolang's own life story.
03
Daolang, a singer who lives seriously
It is not so much that Daolang is vulgar, but that Daolang is a singer of life.
It is said that Daolang's songs are not artistic. But what is art?
Art comes from life. Only those who are good at looking at life and living seriously can create works that can be called art.
Carefully looking back and listening to every song of Daolang, what he is conveying is the most simple emotion of being a human being and an ordinary person.
"Impulsive Punishment" is about Daolang's first marriage: "I was drunk that night, holding your hand and talking nonsense."
The details of life scenes, the vicissitudes of life, how many people have seen and heard themselves in the song.
The background of the creation of "Love Song of the West Sea" is the story of a college student couple, Ying and Yong'er came to Hoh Xil with romantic fantasies and became environmental protection volunteers in Hoh Xil.
Ying was arranged at the Tibetan antelope observation station, and Yong'er was arranged at the Tutuo River observation station under difficult conditions.
On the way to collect information, Yong'er unfortunately died and became the first volunteer to sacrifice in Hoh Xil.
Daolang heard this poignant love story during a wind collection and created "Love Song of the West Sea", which recorded the love story of Ying and Yong'er.
"Thank You" expresses thoughts on life, and it is also conveying one of the rarest emotions of people - gratitude.
"If only life could leave memories that could be continued
I must choose to be grateful
If only I could make a voice before I die
I will definitely say thank you. ”
This is Daolang's work, frantically capturing "I'm sorry", "I love you" and "thank you" in life......
These life-like emotions are the voices that can be sung into the hearts of ordinary people.
