"The Truth about Fenix!" 》
Phoenix Technologies in the Silicon Valley of the United States is a little depressed. They found that the top position of the Chinese term "Phoenix" on Google has been occupied by a guy for many years, which means that it is quite unchanging, and it is often related to another term. All of them come together, that is - "China's most popular Rap singer"!
Internet celebrity Fenix ??emerged from nowhere and stirred up the music world with his unstinting style. From "Indulgence", "Reflection", "Nightmare", "Goodbye Senior", "Friends and Enemies", to the latest "Worldwar", Fenix ??has used his hip-hop with a strong personal style to break through music. It enchants the eardrums and pierces the hearts of the listeners. Fans are as loyal to him as they are to RMB. They affectionately call him "Lao Fei" and are familiar with each of his works. In contrast to this, he is mysterious and unpredictable. "Lao Fei" tortures the fans' nerves with his low profile. Some people say that he is an American and is very fluent in Chinese; some people say that he is a Spaniard who often hangs out in Sanlitun, Beijing. For this reason, fans were divided into two groups to fight against each other regarding the nationality issue of "Fenix". Once, Fenix ??couldn't stand it anymore. He left a message on BBS: "Halo, don't be like this, I'm just an ordinary Chinese..." Someone immediately followed up and said: "Brother, what you made up looks pretty similar. As far as I know, Lao Fei has never been online, and he has not been on QQ once in 800 years. He has autistic tendencies and cannot open his clams. Please save it..."
About Fenix’s nationality The debate revealed the cultural inferiority complex of the Chinese people. A successful Rap singer is also a genuine Chinese, which is actually very logically established. At the moment, "Lao Fei" is sitting quietly across from me, speaking to me in a deep and deep voice: "Music is religion to me. I have never made a penny from music..." At this point, "Fenix" It is no longer unbelievable, he is about to surface and reveal his true nature.
Fenix ??actually works from 9 to 5
In the lobby of a foreign-funded company ranked among the top 500 in the world, white-collar workers stood in front of a punch card machine similar to an ATM. Filed out. "Lao Fei" was dressed in black, black trousers, and Nike. He looked like a typical hip-hop outfit and stood out among the team. Soon, he flashed out and strode over with a thousand-watt smile and a firm handshake. In addition to the familiar voice that reminds me of "Reflection 2", the sunny and handsome boy in front of me is quite different from the rough man in "Lao Fei"'s works. When he jumped up happily like a monkey on the street and shouted "TAXT" loudly, how could the situation be called "faint"? You can only say to yourself in your heart: "Just treat him as a broken man."
Without the attributive term "popular Internet singer", "Lao Fei" is basically no different from ordinary people. A promising college student is his form of existence in Shenzhen. He studied hard, lived a regular life, and followed the rules. As the chairman of the graduate student union of a university in Shenzhen, he often attended various social activities and spoke loudly on or off the podium, pretending to be a "three good students" to the mayor of Shenzhen who attended the conference. Ask questions that are as long and thought-provoking as possible. Right now, he is interning in this world-famous foreign company. His future is very clear. People have no doubt that in the near future, he will appear in suits and ties in the sightseeing elevator of the CBD building in this city, looking like the leading actor in the Motorola advertisement, Gu Pansheng. Hui was on his cell phone.
However, his talent played tricks on him, and now, his ideals have bifurcated.
Hip-hop or CEO, born or joined in the world, ideal or reality, online or invisible, martyrdom or money worship, these questions wait for him in his dreams every night, almost torturing him into Hamlet. However, during the day, he was in a good state of mind, modest and modest, and never looked down upon the common people. He said: "Actually, I am no different from a monkey in the zoo. I eat, drink, poop, pee, and sleep. But there is one difference. I refuse others to visit."
Undoubtedly, this "Old Fei" in front of me He is a quality boy.
He is cheerful and talkative, with precise rhetoric. He speaks at a slightly faster speed and occasionally breaks out in loose English with pure pronunciation, testing the listener's meager English foundation. He has a strong self-awareness and is very alert to others trying to lead the dance subjectively. Innocence and cunning switch instantly in his eyes, "I have the key to everything, OK?"
This is a typical example Aquarius boys, Aquarius is guided by "Uranus", they have the style of kings, innovative, changeable, stubborn, rebellious, and unpredictable. Naturally, Lao Fei talked about his new song "Worldwar". Netizens recognized that this song is very manly and is a sign of Fenix's maturity. Lao Fei said that after coming to Shenzhen in 2006, he made many fashionable friends who became his real fans, which made Lao Fei feel almost like a king. In "Worldwar", Lao Fei led his buddies to launch a world war in a teacup. He picked up a butcher's knife and instantly became a demon. His level of awesomeness was second only to Hitler's.
"Maybe it's just two Fenixes fighting." Lao Fei murmured to himself.
All difficult questions will always have two answers. This is the fate of a wise man.
What kind of bird did Phoenix become?
On February 11, 1982, Fei came to the world without his consent. The mother was so proud that before the 100th day had passed, she sent her son's jade photo to his father, who was on a business trip to Beijing and had never met him. After looking at it, my father was basically satisfied. He wrote on the back of the photo with a pen: "The photo is useless, a man should strive for self-improvement"! Lao Fei still can't figure out why his father thought of these "four olds" at that time. It may be that "having the talent" depends heavily on inheritance. Nowadays, these words are used as his QQ signature. This is Lao Fei’s ultimate attitude towards life, in the name of his father!
Before going to college, Lao Fei's life was basically normal. He went to school, chased stars, grew up, and fell in love, everything was in order. Like other boys, he likes "Little Tigers", Zhao Chuan, "Black Panther", "Tang Dynasty"... When he catches up, he basically catches up with them all. Unfortunately, Lao Fei later accidentally came into contact with the famous Taiwanese Rap singer "MC HotDog". Once he came into contact with him, he fell in love with him and became madly in love. His strong sense of rhythm and obvious sense of rebellion greatly shocked him. Lao Fei has been obsessed with Hip-hop since then, starting from the most popular Eminem in the United States all the way back to the late 2pac.
When talking about Hip-hop, I have many treasures. Hip-hop originated from the African American community, and tracing its origins can be summed up by the word "poor". Why wear one size larger? In addition to facilitating sports, most black families are low-income. If the older brother wears clothes that are too small, he will give them to the younger brother. This is how the style of huge clothes is formed; why is there graffiti? That was a symbol of the division of influence among various gangs in the neighborhood in the past; why is there street dancing? Because they didn’t have money to go to dance halls. At that time, racial discrimination still existed, and even those with money might not be able to have fun in white people’s dance halls. Why are pure Hip-hop works mainly black and always contain foul language? Because black youth have no future or hope, they hate them more than they love them.
Lao Fei still doesn’t understand why he has no shadow of childhood, no shortage of food and clothing, and a wealthy family. In the eyes of his parents, it is undoubtedly the national treasure panda, but he likes this kind of thing for no reason. . In his senior year of high school, he had no intention of playing. The blackboard was blank in his eyes, the teacher was basically a goldfish spitting bubbles on the podium, the classroom became a soundproof room, and there was only rhythm and drumbeats in his world. As a result, his performance in the college entrance examination was abnormal, and he was ten points short of his first choice. His family contacted Heilongjiang University for him, but he insisted on applying for Harbin Institute of Technology, the best university in the province, and he got his wish the next year.
Who stole my microphone
In 2003, Lao Fei had some fun by uploading his first work "Indulgence" to the Internet. It triggered a series of reactions that he had not expected.
“Kissing constantly, tongues rolling
It seems that everything has been sucked away, my self-esteem
My stupidity, my depression, even My soul
I really can’t wait any longer, you are the one I thirst for..."
This hormone-filled music is extremely provocative and will drive the purest nun in the world crazy. , triggering screams on the Internet. That year, Lao Fei had his first round of fans, and it was clear that the fans' love for him was definitely not a one-night stand.
Lao Fei still insists on diving and refuses to appear in public. Some hip-hop bands that were famous at the same time as him have already been recruited and walked into the Great Hall of the People to receive the music award. However, Lao Fei regards the entertainment industry as a daunting prospect, a minefield full of flowers. He is still so stingy that he only lets the world know his name.
In the winter of 2003, a small incident touched him. Lao Fei followed his classmates to a bar to kill time. During this period, he became interested in the speakers on the stage and couldn't help but walk up and touch them here and there. A DJ recognized him, and the DJ came up to Lao Fei and said: "Our boss doesn't like amateurs standing here, please go away!" All this was beyond the scope of his experience. Lao Fei stared at his face for ten seconds. He turned around and left without saying a word. After walking out of the bar, he walked alone in the snow, one foot deep and one foot shallow. The moonlight above his head was particularly lonely, and a thought came to his mind. Within half an hour, he arrived at the largest disco in Harbin. After entering, he immediately found the person in charge, explained his situation, took out the music sample CD he had brought with him, and expressed his willingness to try out for free for one night. The person in charge listened to his "Indulgence", and within half a minute, the man uttered two words: "There is a show!"
That night, Lao Fei started his first "performance" without any fuss. ". Perhaps he originally belonged to the stage. Looking at the crowded audience, he showed off his singing skills and rapped two works. Within two minutes, the stunned audience understood what was happening in front of them, and they couldn't help but move along with the High. The atmosphere of the performance that night was extremely lively, and the audience basically went crazy. Like believers, they danced and screamed to worship this sacred person on the stage who did not know where he came from.
Lao Fei couldn’t stop thinking about it, his eyes were filled with admiration - “That F2F feeling is so good.”
I took the opportunity to ask: “Will you sign up for Happy Boys?”
p>
He pricked up his ears like a rabbit: "No, I estimate that this possibility is lower than the probability of Mars hitting the earth!"
Lao Fei's brother and Lao Fei's woman
Like all boys of the same age, what worries him is his brother and his woman.
The brother that Lao Fei misses the most is Hao Yu. Once upon a time, Hao Yu's "University Study Room" was popular all over the country. Some people say that if you have not heard of "University Study Room", you have not gone to college. The same outstanding talents make them become an online rap duo. They worked together on "Just Say It" and "Goodbye Senior". In real life, they are also close friends. The two brothers got together to record songs together, which is a very beautiful memory in Lao Fei's mind. He said: "Although we are at Hao Yu's house, he and I can't synchronize in the same room at all. In that case, we will laugh and end up laughing together."
Hao Yu is one year older than Lao Fei , but like those born in the 1970s, they generally have a sense of urgency and often take national issues, world peace, etc. into consideration. Lao Fei pays more attention to inner discovery. During his sophomore year, Fei saw an old man in the school cafeteria one day. He was sallow and thin, and his clothes were ragged. He looked longingly at the dumplings in a classmate's bowl and asked: "How much does this cost..." "Lao Fei suddenly felt compassion and thought: When my parents reach this age, I will let them eat whatever they want without asking the price." At the same time, Lao Fei also thought of Hao Yu. If Hao Yu were here, he would sigh with emotion, "There are thousands of houses in Guangzhou."
Although they are now separated, the two brothers are busy and lonely, but they still miss each other from time to time, and smile knowingly when they look at the jokes sent by each other on their mobile phones.
That kind of brotherhood fascinates Lao Fei. Regarding this, Lao Fei's ritual is to take out the "The Godfather" disc set and watch it again every once in a while.
When it comes to partners, it is inevitable to mention Baozi. Lao Fei collaborated with this girl on "Indulgence". There is no trace of her in his life. Netizens speculated that they were a couple, and the reason given by netizens for their subsequent separation was "disharmonious sexual life." Lao Fei felt like crying at this statement. In fact, he and Baozi had never met each other, and their friendship was only a spiritual friendship, not a friendship of any kind.
“Actually, I am quite traditional and don’t like casual sex. One pot lid cannot be placed on all pots! It’s not that I write about indulgence, I am an indulgent person. According to this According to this logic, Shi Naian must be good at martial arts, and Wu Chengen must be good at driving. I think so."
I tried to touch his last restricted area: "Worldwar. "It's very manly, but "Lovestory" is so pink that it could be used as the background music for a sanitary napkin advertisement." Lao Fei grinned widely: "I gave it to my girlfriend!" I accidentally blasphemed his love. He didn't feel dissatisfied and laughed it off.
"Do you mind if fans know you have a girlfriend?" I asked.
"I hope the whole world knows that I have a girlfriend. Her name is Jingjing, and her English name is Crystal!" said Lao Fei.
Fenix ??Interview Notes
Interviewing Fenix ??is ??the most fulfilling thing I have ever done. Just thinking about it makes people feel complacent, proud, complacent and unwilling to make progress. You must know that before this, no print media or online media had obtained any piece of him, or even a few words. That day I received a call from the beautiful editor of "Hope": "Fenix ??is ??on your territory, take it!" If you are unsure about internal matters, ask Baidu, and if you are unsure about external matters, ask GOOGLE. I turned on my computer and searched the Internet: Fenix, 25 years old, from Yichun, Heilongjiang Province. We are close fellow villagers, and our ancestors all traveled to Guandong together. In the past two years, Lao Fei has traveled thousands of miles to study for a master's degree at a university in Shenzhen. I thought to myself that this demon has been wandering around my territory for many years without any awareness, and his life was wasted! It really took a lot of trouble, and the agency worked every step of the way, using clever words and rhetoric, just like herding sheep in a field, to corral Lao Fei to the same dining table. This is not the first time we have F2F with celebrities. The difference is that this time it is real celebrities and real fans. It is said in the world that Lao Fei is not good at money, reputation, or women, but he only has good taste - wine! When I first met Lao Fei, the overall feeling was very flattering to my imagination - strong, sunny, free and easy, as uninhibited as the wind, but still polite, which made people think of a time when college students were actually pure. He doesn't look like someone born in the 1980s, but rather like a group of young people who lived in the 1980s. I even wanted to get under the dining table to see if he was wearing a pair of Shanghai "Hui Alai" sneakers on his feet.
Lao Fei smiled and stretched out his palm: "I have read a few masterpieces, and they are well written!" Feeling secretly happy, Miss Ben thought to herself: A well-known singer, a master of science and engineering, a genuine person He's a double genius. He didn't throw acid in the bear's eyes. It's already a sign of mercy from me. He's still so polite and considerate, so what else can he say? But I still had doubts in my heart. Compared with the Phoenix works that I had previewed in advance, and those notes that made my blood soar and stay up all night, I always felt that the old Fei in front of me was the egg in "Alien", with a smooth surface and evil intentions inside. Sure enough, after five or six dishes and seven or eight drinks, at a certain moment, Lao Fei, who was holding the wine bottle, had a fierce look in his eyes. I thought to myself: There is something going on, God has come! The unruliness that a RAP master should have, finally emerged after being unlocked by alcohol. After returning to life, Lao Fei actually said in the first sentence: "Actually, I really don't like those articles about men and women you wrote, they are simply rubbish!" At that moment, I was immersed in tearing up a piece of mutton. She was frightened and almost choked on the mutton. Enter the left bronchus. I am most afraid of encountering such a scene. I have never been afraid of sincere offense. What worries me most is the "humble and decent smile" that follows after being offended. I remember Fan Zeng, a master of traditional Chinese painting, once said that he had practiced "humble smile" repeatedly in front of the mirror, and suddenly found that it was his most ugly expression.
"Good! You're absolutely right!" I nodded vigorously, swallowed the damn piece of mutton, put aside my chopsticks, stood up with a smile, and shook hands vigorously across the steaming hot pot.
