I heard that in Dou Wei's new album "Black Dream" in 1994, the works in it were all written while he was dreaming, or some fragments and ideas in the dream. He even named his band Dream.
So when it was Dou Wei's turn to take the stage, the lights suddenly became weird and weird, and it really felt like a dream.
However, when Dou Wei opened his mouth, many viewers were stunned because he kept reciting Chinese words: "Contradiction, hypocrisy, greed, deception, fantasy, doubt, simplicity, change, strong, helpless, loneliness, vulnerability, tolerance,
Angry, complicated, annoying..."
Every time Dou Wei finished reciting a set of words, everyone thought he was going to start singing, but then he continued to recite Tao. After much difficulty, he finally sang "Where is happiness" and immediately continued to recite his two-character sutra.
There was silence in the audience, and many viewers had the same idea: This guy used to be a monk?
If it was rap, everyone would be able to accept it, but Dou Wei was really pronouncing the words in a clear and concise tone!
"Where is happiness? Where is happiness?" Dou Wei, wearing a suit and shirt, stood upright on the stage, sang this line with half-squinted eyes, and then the song ended.
Finished?
Tens of thousands of people in the Coliseum looked at Dou Wei stupidly. They felt that they were not here to listen to music, but to listen to someone recite a text.
When Dou Wei finished singing "Advanced Animals", Kang Jianfei couldn't help but sigh: Dou Daxian finally gave up. Not many people can appreciate his song.
But it is undeniable that this song is Dou Wei's iconic work.
From a purely musical perspective, the contrast between the bass at the beginning and the ethereal treble of the effect device seems like two people are telling something, or the opposition between ideals and reality. After two bars, the drum kit has always been at the core.
, giving people a sense of unrest.
There are also different choices of overall sound effects. In the narration part, the music color tends to be dark, and the effects device creates a gloomy atmosphere, which vividly expresses the dark side of people and society. When asking where happiness lies, it is highlighted again.
Bright colors are used to interpret happiness, which makes you feel like you are in hell and looking up to heaven.
It's a pity that it is difficult for ordinary audiences to understand such profound things, but some star singers in the audience have experienced the slightest benefit.
When the audience was a little impatient, Dou Wei's second song "Oh, Good" came. This song has a strong HIP-Hop style. Dou Daxian is obviously very good at playing hip-hop. Dou Wei's
His singing skills and creative talents are fully demonstrated.
Wang Fei was sitting under the stage, looking at the young man above who was singing and singing, her eyes were shining. Queen Wang was obviously shocked by Dou Wei's talent, and she was quite aroused.
"Pfft!" Kang Jianfei suddenly couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Huimin next to her asked: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Kang Jianfei smiled and waved his hand.
The reason Kang Jianfei laughed was that Dou Daxian actually forgot his words on the spot.
Maybe it was because he was too nervous, or maybe Dou Wei was playing an instrument, and the lyrics were in the form of a dialogue between three people, which required emotional multitasking, so Dou Wei forgot how to sing next while singing.
There was a long section of rap lyrics in the middle, and Dou Wei was fooled into making up the lyrics on the spot and singing it. Fortunately, the Hong Kong audience was not familiar with this song, so no one noticed it. Instead, they responded enthusiastically, and many audience members stood up involuntarily.
Cheers.
Playing hip-hop rock in 1994, it was absolutely trendy and avant-garde in the Chinese-speaking area. Dou Wei sang it like this, and his works were very deep and highly completed, which greatly shocked the Hong Kong audience. Even Zhang Xueyou, Lin Zixiang, Tai
DiRobin and others stood up in surprise and applauded enthusiastically at the end of the song.
Dou Wei's third song is "Black Dream", the title song of the new album "Black Dream".
The tone of this song is similar to that of "Advanced Animals", both are black and psychedelic, which makes people wonder if Dou Daxian was taking drugs when he was writing it.
At the concert site, with the lighting and sound effects, "Black Dream" created a strong sense of dreamland, making the entire audience feel as if they were on drugs and dancing along involuntarily.
On the contrary, the singer Dou Wei, wearing a suit and shirt, stood neatly in the center of the stage without any unnecessary movements. It was as if he was not singing dark rock, but a bright Italian opera. The contrast was really strong.
Zhou Huimin exclaimed: "This person is so powerful!"
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Well, his name is Dou Daxian, and he will become an immortal in a few years."
"Uh..." Zhou Huimin rolled her eyes cutely.
The people sitting next to Wang Fei were all singers, including Zhang Xueyou, Lin Zixiang, Ye Qianwen, Anita Mui... They all put down their celebrity pretensions and gathered in the audience to shake their heads to the rhythm of the music. These guys were going crazy.
After Dou Wei's performance, the next performer was Lingdian Band.
Five northern men stood on the stage. Their aura was enough to chop people with a watermelon knife, let alone a concert. The funniest thing was that the lead singer Zhou Xiaoou actually listened to Kang Jianfei's words and cut his long hair to
Cut into a big bald head.
The first song they sang was "Hot Heart", which was a rock style with the flavor of a pop song. If it were just that, it wouldn't be worth mentioning at all, because this kind of song is almost dead on the street.
What was new to the Hong Kong audience was that the Lingdian Band's singing had the unique roughness of northern men, mixed with a touch of folklore. After singing their three songs, they also won warm applause from the audience.
Then the Black Panthers came on stage.
The Black Panthers' "Don'tBreakMyHeart" and "No Place to Shame" are very famous in Hong Kong. The former even won the first place on the Hong Kong Commercial Radio Chart. But they did not choose to sing these two songs because they were both composed by Dou Wei and it was really shameful.
Take it out and sing it in front of Dou Wei.
The Black Panthers sang their new songs last year, "God of Light", "Mirage" and "I Don't Want to Say". Although these works are not amazing, they are of high quality, beautiful melody and catchy, and they play a very good role
It has a warm-up effect, at least the general audience is very excited to listen to it.
How should I put it? The songs of Zero Point and Black Panther are relatively commercial and have not reached the level of Dou Wei in art. They are very enjoyable when listening to them, but after listening to them, they will not leave a deep impression.
"We invite the Tai Chi band from Hong Kong!"
When the emcee's voice came out, the audience immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers. These were the fans of the Tai Chi band.
Backstage at the performance, Dou Wei smoked a cigarette and said, "It's your turn next time. Can you hold on?"
"It's okay." Zhang Chu's hands were shaking when he spoke. The closer to the performance, the more nervous he became. (To be continued)
