But there is a variety show "Summer of the Band", which gave me a great surprise this summer, and made me burst into tears many times and began to think about life.

This program, which I followed with Teacher Liu, was discussed a lot. After reading it, it seems to be back to youth.

Now that the program is almost over, I really brushed it several times. The program group can't pay for advertising this time, and I want to call them.

I seldom pay attention to bands. When I first came to Shanghai, a high school classmate liked to listen to offline performances. I went to the offline livehouse with him to listen to some band performances and went to the Strawberry Music Festival.

As a small white, through this program, I learned a lot of professional knowledge and know what punk and reggae are. ......

The most commendable thing about the program "Summer of the Band" is undoubtedly that the program group has gathered all the powerful bands, but they have been in a tepid state, giving them a good platform to display their talents.

Some people may say that there is no need for such an opportunity, and places with strength can shine brilliantly, and the highlight moment that belongs to them will always come.

But time often passes quickly, as Peng Like Ray, the lead singer of New Pants Band, said, "It's a little sad, because everyone is still very ordinary. Although their mentality is much better than in the 1990 s, everyone is old."

Anyway, it's a little late, but the opportunity will always be left to those who have been on the road.

What exactly moved me about this program?

In the process of watching, I found that these bands are too poor, not without money, but because it is difficult to support themselves by dreams.

For example, if you click # 15, depending on the band, the average monthly income is less than 1000 yuan. Their lead singer Ricky is now the music director of an Anaya. He used to be the music director of the catering department. The program was a hit, and the word catering department was deleted.

Two years ago, Ricky still supported himself by selling pianos.

I also want to say that Yang Ce is so handsome, and Ricky has great stage charm and is a natural star.

Hedgehog, one of my favorite bands, repeated their song "Trains Over Clouds, Dreams Awaken Outside Cloud Nine" many times, and I really cried more than once.

Hedgehog guitarist and lead singer Jane graduated from Beihang University as a programmer. Drummer Shilu joked, "All programmers in Beijing are colleagues of Zijian."

Zijian has changed jobs for the band many times over the years. The longest time I worked at Sina, I gave him two months' holiday. It is said that he resigned this time to join the band in the summer.

Peng Lei also worked as a MV director, and "QQ Love" is his work.

Holding a suit in his hand, he told everyone to the camera that the suit looked like the work clothes of the "chain home" staff. When buying a house, he found that it would cost a lot of agency fees.

So he thought of a way to apply for a "chain home" in order to save agency fees. The person who can think of this idea should be a "wonderful work" among geniuses, right?

Wei Wei, the keyboard player of the tour group band, said that when I first started to make music, people in the record company didn't want to pay attention to them, and their works had no place, so they kept being "shut out" by the record company.

So several people thought of a way to pretend to be a take-away company, and with their own efforts, they got the current "tour group".

It's really exciting to accomplish a hopeless thing in life.

Almost every band member has other jobs. Mr. and Ms. Lian Liu is the planner of the advertising company, and the bass of penicillin is the operation of ByteDance (today's headlines belong to them).

I admire them very much, and their attitude towards life is very practical. Sticking to your dreams is not empty talk.

This reminds me of my assistant Qihe. We have been working together for almost four years. Objectively speaking, we are a startup company. At that time, when we cooperated, I was still a freelancer, and her strength had too many possibilities to choose from.

She graduated from the School of Journalism of Renmin University, and got nearly 140 in the college entrance examination. She is very clever and efficient. She asked me not to socialize too much at work.

Why did she give up such a good job in the system? Because I write novels in my spare time, I have written overbearing presidents before, but I can't feel what I want. Now she writes something else.

I played a joke with her many times: "one day, you are angry, and I must write an article." You are my assistant, so rub some heat. "

There are still many writers around me who are doing other jobs when the opportunity does not come. I have been writing amateur for 3 years, and I will have more time.

Dreams are too expensive, we are poor, but we are all insisting, aren't we? I believe that one day, our dreams can come true.

I also like this group of pragmatic people, who live seriously and pursue poetry and distance.

I just wrote about some difficulties in their lives and the helplessness of sticking to their dreams, but they lived into the middle-aged appearance I wanted. Many people go to work, don't get caught up in the life of chicken feathers and play bands.

Why does this program go up and down?

The answer is simple. These people are charming and real.

Even in the face of great pressure, they can't hear decadence and giving up in their music. Hedgehog Band's purple sword wrote, "The train goes over the clouds, and the dream sleeps outside the cloud nine". Even though he wrote this song, the band was already in a state of dissolution and collapse, he still sang: one generation will eventually grow old, but some people will always be young.

Miserable Faith, I like a horse hole in Gao Hu very much. It was fun. They belong to a band with a good life, and all major music festivals are the finale. But equally difficult, this trip went to many places.

They also went through a difficult period. In 2008, the band was on the verge of breaking up. In 2007, Zhang Jing left without saying goodbye. In 2008, Gao Hu went through some separation and left Beijing for Yunnan alone, but he insisted on playing a band and released this record "I don't want to stop my music", which was a hit.

Gao Hu said, I mentioned this experience, not to recall that painful experience, but to say that I have chosen, so I don't regret doing it.

Listening to their concerts gives me strength, and there are many helplessness in my life, which reminds me of middle age. Am I still sticking to my dream and living the life I want?

When you see them, you should stick to what you like, such as writing. No matter how the platform changes and the form changes, I will insist on writing something I like and recognize.

Hot news, unless I am moved by what I really want to write, I will write it, not to chase it.

? Write it at the end

In an adaptation competition, penicillin adapted Pu Shu's New Boy. When Zhang Yadong commented, she burst into tears without saying a few words. "Everyone is looking forward to the year 2000 and thinks everything will get better. Well, we are old. "

This song should bring Zhang Yadong a different feeling, how powerful time is. Twenty years ago, he and Pu Shu sang "The New Teenager" in a song, and now they are sitting under the stage with gray hair, watching another group of children.

Also, Zhang Yadong mentioned that I haven't heard Pu Shu's songs for a long time. Hearing this song, I remembered the state of making music together when I was a child. Time flies, but the simple state at that time is gone now.

The theme of the first issue of "Summer of the Band" is "Ideal World". When New Pants sang "Life is Hot Because of You", Zhang Yadong said to Peng Lei, "I understand what you said in your song, and I understand it."

I'm sad to see this place, too. When I think of many things in the past, my life has become what it is now when I grow up. Youth is gone, what are we still holding on to?

If you have a dream, you will shine. Even if real life is a feather, there should be light in our hearts.

Have you seen this program?

Have you thought of anything? What dreams did you have when you were young? Still insisting?
