In 24, JJ Lin's Jiangnan, Jay Chou's Qilixiang and Angela Zhang's Aurora were released one after another. In this "killing" of Chinese music, Dao Lang's album "The First Snow in 22" rushed out of the encirclement like a dark horse and became an instant hit, sweeping the whole Chinese music scene. Without any publicity, the album sold an astonishing 2.7 million copies. Songs such as "Lover" and "Impulse Punishment" have spread all over the country, and Dao Lang's songs can be heard in the streets and alleys, and the name Dao Lang is also widely known. But it is a pity that he chose to quit the music scene when his career was in full swing.
Dao Lang, formerly known as Rowling. Born in Zijiang County, Neijiang City, Sichuan Province on June 22nd, 1971, he was deeply influenced by his parents because his father was a lighting engineer in the art troupe and his mother was an actor. As a child, he often fiddled with some strange musical instruments, thus forming an indissoluble bond with music.
It was originally because of a family accident. Rowling's brother had a bad temper, and the two brothers often had a dark fight. Because of a quarrel between the two brothers, his mother cursed his eldest brother, who left home angrily. What Rowling didn't expect was that this walk turned out to be a farewell.
a week later, all the family members were waiting for was the death of Big Brother-a bicycle accident and he died on the spot. Home has become Rowling's sadness, and this matter has also become a regret that Rowling can never erase.
at the age of 17, I don't know whether it was out of escape or out of pursuit of music. Before graduating from high school, he chose to wander away from home. He started to work as a waiter in a dance hall in Neijiang. After work, he would help Andhadhun do odd jobs and learn some vocal music knowledge.
Later, I met He Laoshi, a keyboard player in Neijiang, Sichuan, and worshipped him as a teacher. Luo Lin made rapid progress, so He Laoshi recommended him to the dance hall and became a keyboard player. Two years later, Luo Lin went to Chengdu, Chongqing, Tibet and Xi 'an, and spent more than four years running around. Later, when singing in the concert halls in Neijiang and Chengdu, Liao Jian was persuaded to form the "Scalpel" band, with Liao Jian, a comedian from Bashu, as the lead singer and he as the keyboard player.
But the scalpel band "Operation" didn't make it, and it was unknown, and it only earned a few hundred dollars a month. In the summer of 1991, the band officially broke up and the two brothers went their separate ways. Liao Jian turned to be a comedian, and Rowling planned to continue to go black for his pursuit of music.
At that time, there was a divorced dancer in the Song and Dance Troupe named Yang Na, and Luo Lin pursued her and married her despite the opposition of her family. But not long after giving birth to her daughter, Yang Na left Luo Lin, leaving only a note "You can't give me the life I want". Luo Lin, who was hit, left Sichuan and wandered again for her musical dream.
From 1991 to 1995, when singing in Hainan, he also formed the "Children of the Earth" band with several musicians, and still worked as a keyboard player. The keyboard was famous in Hainan at that time, but the band was dissolved due to life.
In Hainan, Luo Lin met Zhu Mei, a girl from Xinjiang, who is now his wife. If I hadn't met Zhu Mei, he might still be wandering. In 1995, Luo Lin took her children to Xinjiang with her, settled near a bus stop called "the eighth floor", set up the Northwest Music Studio, and started close contact with Xinjiang folk music.
Luo Lin tried to write some original songs, but in the end only sold a few hundred, obviously unable to support himself, so she had to choose the road of advertising music for the time being. He made a piece of music for an antenna company, and the effect was good. Under the influence of advertising songs, Rowling also gained a certain popularity, and his life gradually got on the right track. But there is a question in Rowling's mind, "Is advertising music a real singer?"
So he went back to originality, and put all the money he earned from advertising into making music. After two years of tossing, in 21, an album "Xinjiang Original First Strike" patched together by pop and fashion music was released, but the result was terrible, only selling more than 2, copies. After the failure, Luo Lin went to the library every day, and went to the Gobi Desert and the homes of Uygur people to collect songs. He wrote more than 1, songs a year.
In 23, Luo Lin's parents came to visit him in Xinjiang, and several people were crowded in a small room of more than ten square meters. Luo Lin looked at everything in front of him and felt that he was only pursuing his dreams, but he failed to take care of his family. In this way, in the struggle between ideal and reality, Luo Lin released an album "Love Song of the Western Regions", which was a folk song cover. He was afraid that it would be the same as before, so he never dared to see the sales volume and was afraid of repeating the same mistakes. Fortunately, the sales volume is good, and Rowling's life is getting better little by little. Since the release of the CD "Love Song of the Western Regions", Luo Lin has been using the stage name "Dao Lang" to face the fans.
along the bumpy road, he proved that his efforts were not in vain. In January 24, the album "The First Snow in 22" was officially released. Without any publicity, the songs in the album such as "Lover", "Impulsive Punishment" and "The First Snow in 22" have spread from Xinjiang to the whole country, from the vegetable market to the barbershop on the street, and Dao Lang's rough voice is everywhere in the streets.
He was angry, and Dao Lang was completely angry. Then he struck the iron while it was hot, and successively released works such as Kashgar Populus euphratica, Wolf in sheep's clothing and Thank you.
But there are many people who are popular. As Dao Lang became more and more familiar to the audience, in a certain year, Na Ying was a judge. Na Ying said that Dao Lang's songs did not have aesthetic views, and directly refused him to be included in the music list.
Then came Wang Feng, who called Dao Lang's fire an insult to China's pop music, and bluntly said that his songs were rough and had no connotation. The reason why they became popular was because everyone listened to too many exquisite songs. Yang Kun doesn't even call Dao Lang's songs music.
In this way, a musician who had been silent for a long time was surrounded by a group of senior musicians. Dao Lang didn't know how to face these criticisms, so he chose to leave. From overnight success to falling to the bottom, life gave Dao Lang another hard blow.
after many days, he was relieved: it doesn't matter whether I like it or question it, because I will be forgotten by everyone eventually.
After this incident, Dao Lang retired to a small town and returned to Xinjiang to concentrate on his creation. Although he gradually left the public's sight, he still released his own music works from time to time. Although Dao Lang's ending is not very happy, it has been popular at least, and at least we still like his once familiar songs.
The first snow in 22,
came later than before.
