Dao Lang is a family of four. His parents work in the county cultural and art troupe, and his brother, who is five years older than him, is the head. Until one night in 2002, Dao Lang's life changed completely. At that time, it was snowing heavily, and Dao Lang and his friends were walking in the street. Suddenly, their friend jumped out: "This is the first snow in 2002!" " Dao Lang's flank seemed to be struck by lightning.
Then he hurried home and wrote down the first snow in 2002 with tears in his eyes.
After that, Dao Lang quit his job and decided to fight for his immortal dream again.
For the rest of the year, he was writing songs and shyly inviting investment everywhere. Later, he said, "I am like an animal in a cage, trying to attract tourists." Finally, it took me two years to write this song, and the investment came.
In 2004, the album The First Snow in 2002 was officially released. At that time, Dao Lang estimated that the streets were full of people listening to this song, and it was difficult to sell tens of thousands of copies.
But God played a big joke and he was wrong again.
Sales by volume. Dao Lang guessed wrong.
The original sales volume of this album is 2.7 million, and the pirated sales volume is 6.5438+million.
At that time, this was almost an astronomical figure in China's music industry.
Without the help of any publicity, Dao Lang set a sales record in China.
Overnight, from Xinjiang to Beijing, from the city to the countryside, from the video store to the hair salon, Dao Lang's gruff voice echoed in the streets of China.
Later, Xu said, "How big was the first snow in 2002? If you walk on every street in Beijing, you will hear this song three or four times. " Dao Lang, 33, is bursting with popularity.
In 2006, Dao Lang once again swept the music scene in China with "Thank you" and "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing". But there are many red people.
20 10, Dao Lang should have become famous all the way, but he got into trouble because of a game. Dao Lang was selected as one of the "Top Ten Most Influential Singers" in the light music list.
However, Na Ying, as a judge, used her veto power to eradicate Dao Lang. He said: "Dao Lang's songs have no music and beauty, only the farmers' association sings!"
Ha ha! I wonder what Wang Jianlin will think when he hears this?
A stone stirs up a thousand waves. When Na Ying fell, a lot of "musicians" suddenly appeared behind her and threw them at her.
"Dao Lang's music and lyrics are very ordinary," Wang said. "They are popular because people listen to too many good songs. If they listen to these rough online songs, they will feel fresh. "
Ask Lang: "What kind of music is this? Does he have music? "
Yes, I think if these two people don't talk, they won't appear in the later Good Voice of China. I also want to ask you a question: Now, Mr. Yang Kun is singing loudly on the podium with wine and commodities. Do you remember what music is?
But there are musicians and countless people who support Dao Lang. After all, a few "musicians" do not represent the music industry in China, and it is not up to you to decide whether a song is good or not.
"I don't like how old you are?"
Some people have analyzed that the reason why Dao Lang is not accepted by the mainstream has nothing to do with his profundity and musical accomplishment, only two points:
First of all, the great commercial success of Dao Lang, who has never received professional training, is a great embarrassment to mainland "musicians" who sing flashy songs but can't sell them.
Secondly, colleagues are enemies. After all, they enjoyed the "whose" cake and touched the "whose" interests.
Finally, Na Ying's apology and Dao Lang's withdrawal from the music scene calmed the storm of public opinion.
Faced with these questions and criticisms, Dao Lang once said that he was very concerned about what others thought of him, but Dao Lang never defended himself.
"None of this matters, because we will all be forgotten," he said.
In this impetuous society that pursues fame and fortune, Dao Lang is still most concerned about the purest musical ideal.
So at the peak of his music career, he chose to return to Urumqi, Xinjiang, the starting point of his music career.
Someone said, "When listening to Dao Lang's songs, I always feel that he is telling a story with tears in his eyes."
Yes, like Dao Lang, how many people can wander all the way, sing all the way, crush their personal experiences into songs, and interpret the most sincere and moving voice in the world.
Now 49-year-old Dao Lang has experienced many things, getting fat and getting old. Years have made him walk a lot, and the only thing is music. Just like 30 years ago, Dao Lang is still doing something stupid that few people in this world would do: saving himself with music.
