Later, it became a must-have song for major square dances.
The group named "Chopsticks Brothers" has won numerous praises again, and its career has reached an unprecedented peak. For a time, major media websites rushed to cooperate with them.
Before Little Apple, Chopsticks Brothers first became popular in old boys.
Like many young people with dreams, "old boys" experienced various difficulties in the process of pursuing his dreams when he was young.
When the "Chopsticks Brothers" were not formed, both Wang Terui and Xiao Yang were still in their respective fields, looking for the fulcrum of life.
At that time, Wang Tairui was an art student, and every time he sang, he was said to be very nice by his classmates. Therefore, Wang Terry had a musical dream.
Without saying anything, Wang Terry asked for 500 yuan from his family and came to Beijing by car alone.
Wang Terry, who has no direction at all, has no foothold in Beijing, but he is passionately pursuing his musical dream.
On his first night in Beijing, Wang Terry stayed at the reception.
The next day, he got up early and arrived at the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe. Because he heard that Mr. Cao Jinbo had a music training class in the song and dance troupe.
Unfortunately, when Wang Tairui came to the Song and Dance Troupe, he was told that the training class had been cancelled long ago. Later, I learned from the security guard that Mr. Wang Ming from the Central Conservatory of Music was holding a training class.
Wang Tairui carried her luggage and hummed all the way to the Conservatory of Music in Weizikeng.
I thought I would definitely get into the training class this time, but Wang Terry was told again that Mr. Wang Ming's training class had also been cancelled.
Seeing that learning music was hopeless, Wang Tairui had to find a place to stay in Beijing first.
At the beginning, Wang Tairui found a friend and lived together in the dormitory of the University of Technology. It was only 6 yuan a day. However, it was later found out by the school that he was not a student of the school and was expelled.
Without a job and a place to live, Wang Tairui had to rent a house in the basement for 100 yuan.
I've been confused for a while, and my money is running out. A friend of Terry's said to Wang:
"Also, you have to fill your stomach first, and then think about other musical dreams. Otherwise, if you continue like this, you will sell your kidneys. "
After listening to what my friend said, Wang Tairui decided to go out and find a job.
Like many northern drifters, Wang Tairui did everything to survive. I work hard every day and work as a cashier in a restaurant. After the hotel closed down, he went to McDonald's to work.
Later, I went to the insurance company to do insurance, buy paintings and pull advertisements ... Wang Terry took pains to try all the jobs that could make money.
Life will gradually improve. After a long struggle, Wang Tairui still used his professional art knowledge to light a lamp for his life.
While doing advertising planning for other companies, Wang Tairui found himself doing quite well in this respect. So I started my own advertising company.
It was also because of this advertising company that Wang Terry later met another "chopstick"-Sean.
Unlike Wang Terry's difficult experience of drifting north, Sean's experience is softer.
/kloc-at the age of 0/6, Sean left home and went to Beijing, and was admitted to the middle school attached to the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Sean earned a year's tuition and living expenses by virtue of his own ability when he was in the third grade of the middle school attached to the Academy of Fine Arts.
This is really much better than Rainbow Terry, a migrant worker in Beipiao at that time.
After graduating from the middle school attached to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Sean entered the Film Academy to study directing and shoot advertisements. Before knowing Terry Wang, Sean worked as an assistant to the director group with Zhang Yimou.
So, although Sean was still a student at that time, he was able to support himself.
Just then, Wang Tairui's company wanted to find a director to shoot an advertisement.
Wang Tairui wanted to find Wang Yuelun (Li Xiang's husband), but considering Wang Yuelun's high asking price, she gave up.
One day, Wang Terry accidentally learned that Sean, a student of the Film Academy, was an advertising director and was said to have filmed many things.
So, Wang Terry asked someone for Sean's phone number, called Sean and invited Xiao Yang to the company for an interview.
Sean was very excited when he first heard someone looking for an advertisement.
Sean dressed up, came to Wang Terry's company and met Wang Terry for the first time. Sean only thinks Wang Terry is a humorous big brother.
During the conversation, Sean began to brag and lied to Terry Wang that he had made many types of advertisements and films, and "boasted" himself like a serious advertiser.
As the boss, Wang Terry is naturally not to be outdone, and also "blew" with Sean. Said his company will have a lot of big orders in the future. If it is done this time, let Sean continue to do it in the future.
These two "brothers" really got to know each other by cheating.
Wang Terry listened to Sean's "boasting" and decided to use Sean to shoot this 200,000 advertisement; After hearing Wang Terry's "seduction", Sean also decided to take over Wang Terry's job.
In this way, "Chopsticks Brothers" had their first cooperation.
The advertisement was very successful, and Sean and Wang Terry gradually got to know each other and found that they were like-minded. After the commercial shooting, the two became very good friends.
It was because of the shooting of this advertisement that the later "Chopsticks Brothers" were derived.
With the first cooperation in business, there will naturally be a second cooperation.
In 2006, when CRBT exploded. The arrival of a new generation of mobile phones has brought the bonus of color ring tones. Hearing that two butterflies earned 100 million dollars, Wang Terry began to plan a train to catch the bonus of CRBT.
When you have an idea, you must put it into action. Wang Terry soon wrote a song called "Bless Your Darling". After writing it, Wang Terry sent it to Xiaoyang and asked Sean's brother's opinion.
At that time, Wang Terry didn't know that Sean also liked singing. When Sean received the Wang Song Terry Award, Sean's first idea was to make a short film.
Because at that time, it was also the time when online video continued to be popular. From the director's point of view, making a short film and putting it on the website is also a way to catch up with the trend.
Thus, there was the second cooperation of "Chopsticks Brothers".
In 2007, the short film Memoirs of a Geisha, which was shot for the color ring back tone song "Bless Your Dear", came out and received a very good response.
Humor and bold interpretation make Chopsticks Brothers loved and cheered by many people.
Although the response was good, the money was not earned. In order to shoot Memoirs of a Geisha, Wang Tairui invested 20,000 yuan before and after, but only earned less than 1 10,000 yuan.
Because it was the first time to shoot a short film, it was liked by many people, so in 2008, "Chopsticks Brothers" filmed the short film "Where are you?" . At that time, Xiao Yang had just graduated. At that time, he invested tens of thousands of dollars and still didn't make any money.
Therefore, the two decided not to shoot any more movies. However, sometimes it is really "unintentional".
The two brothers who didn't want to make another film wanted to make a short film to pay homage to their lost youth because they learned that Michael Jackson died suddenly in 2009.
After all, Terry Wang was 40 and Sean was 30. The two agreed that life is too short, and in the process of chasing dreams, the lost youth is really gone forever.
Just like a generation of singers, Michael Jackson, a "God" figure, will be destroyed by the years and cannot resist the laws of nature and die.
Michael Jackson's death is more like representing a generation's youth gone forever.
With this in mind, in June 2009, Wang Terui wrote the song old boys, which later changed the fate of the Chopsticks Brothers.
In order to pay tribute to youth, the original title of old boys was Youth. Just finished writing, Wang Terry sent it to Xiaoyang for advice.
Sean suggested that Wang Terry change it again, so Wang Terry went back and changed several editions.
Until he wrote "Youth is like a running river, once it's gone, it's too late to say goodbye". When Sean saw this lyric, he told Wang Terry not to change it.
The whole song realistically depicts their youth confusion, the difficulties and frustrations in the process of pursuing their dreams, and the beauty of their youth and the sadness after their death.
After the song was written, on 20 10, Wang Terry and Sean began to shoot the short film old boys as a "tombstone" to pay homage to their youth.
I just didn't expect that this "tombstone" later became a "milestone".
When shooting old boys, it didn't go well. Because at the beginning, the budget of old boys was 654.38+10,000 yuan, and then the shooting time became longer and longer. Shawn thought that the maximum investment of 654.38+10,000 yuan was almost enough.
In the end, the two men put all their money into it, and it took more than 700 thousand to make it, which was a bit "bankrupt"
Sadly, while filming the short film old boys, Wang Terry's father died of cancer.
Before his father died, his father told Wang Terui not to fool around, but to do some industry, and not to engage in these music, film and television things all day.
So, after filming old boys, Terry Wang said to Sean, "I'm going back to my office to start a business, and I'm not going to make these musicals."
Sean, who was still editing the short film old boys, said, "Lao Wang, don't change careers. I think this movie can be successful. "
I really experienced all kinds of ups and downs before I saw the rainbow.
At the end of 20 10, the hit rate of old boys exploded. The perfect combination of short films and lyrics made many dream catchers feel the same way and burst into tears after watching it.
"Chopsticks Brothers" became popular overnight.
After various attempts and difficulties, "Chopsticks Brothers" finally succeeded.
Then, Wang Terry wrote "Father", a song that many people will cry after listening to.
Later, in order to avoid the label of this "sad" song, Wang Terry decided to write a cheerful song.
So, in 20 12, Wang Terui wrote the song "Little Apple", which was popular all over the country. After post-production, it was not released until 20 14.
At this point, "Chopsticks Brothers" has become the object sought after by thousands of fans. They used to be United because of their dreams and intellectual interests, and they also worked together to complete the transformation because of their dreams.
In the process of pursuing his dream, the little boy will eventually become "old boys".
Wonderful past:
He scored below 100 in seven subjects. He was "crazy" when he was admitted to college, but now he has become a big star.
Experienced "bankruptcy", abortion, married three times in my life, and my love with Dicky Cheung Jess Zhang never gave up.
She once made Anita Mui "unhappy" because of Leslie Cheung, and Leslie Cheung's death made her feel guilty.
Liu Bei rescued Wu Xiubo from poverty. A few years later, Wu Xiubo "self-destructed" his future.
