On last night's "I Am a Singer" program,

when Lao Lang appeared as the last replacement singer,

when he softly sang the long-lost song The first voice:

"I dream of children

crying in a distant garden"

My sister's eyes immediately filled with tears.

So many years have passed,

What has changed is Brother Lang’s plumper figure and breasts

What remains unchanged is that it is still desolate,

Mixed with a slightly warm voice

In the 1980s and 1990s.

The university is still a sacred and mysterious place described as an "ivory tower". The young people inside and outside the tower live two completely different lives: from the way they dress to their living habits, and even the songs they listen to. Just when the young people outside the tower were keen on the Four Heavenly Kings, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui, something called "campus folk songs" suddenly emerged in universities, and this "Campus Folk Song I" released in 1994, Officially, this music style, "not a genre but with an independent name", has been promoted to the entire land of China, making "campus folk songs" no longer just for campus, and injecting an injection into the mainland pop music that has just emerged. A powerful new force.

Of course, when it comes to the words "campus folk song", Gao Xiaosong, like Lao Lang, is a name that cannot be ignored.

But since "Short, Big and Tight" has been active in various circles such as TV, variety shows, movies, music, and selfies all year round, his story probably does not need to be told any more. As for Uncle Wolf, with this return to the stage, I believe you have read a lot of various memorial articles in the past few days, so I won’t go into details here. The Eighth Sister wants to talk to you today. They both made significant contributions to the "campus folk songs" of that era. Nowadays, few people know about them. How are they doing now?

Huang Xiaomao

At the end of the exquisite lyrics booklet of the album "Campus Ballads I", there is such a passage

"The songs in this album are all It was written by people who used to be on campus and people who have left campus. Behind each song, there is an ordinary and beautiful story. Each song is a commemoration of their own youth. "

This passage comes from Huang Xiaomao, the producer of the album.

It was his support that allowed such a music work that seemed "non-mainstream" at the time to be released.

Perhaps for many people, Huang Xiaomao's wife Li Jing is much more famous. That's right, it's the host of "Super Interview" and "Very Quiet Distance". But in the music industry, Huang Xiaomao is a person who stomps his feet to shock others. Because he led Gao Xiaosong to officially enter this industry, to this day, Gao Xiaosong still calls him "master" when referring to Huang Xiaomao.

Huang Xiaomao was born in a military family in Beijing and has been engaged in behind-the-scenes production work almost since he entered the industry. Since the 1980s, he has been a lyricist and has composed many songs for Cui Jian and the Black Panther Band. He has also been responsible for the production of albums such as Cui Jian's "The Prodigal Son Returns" and Ai Jing's "My 1997". In addition to those campus ballads, his works also include Gao Feng's popular "Greater China", Luo Zhongxu's "Starlight", and Man Wenjun's "Understanding You" by Man Wenjun, who is also a lyricist. wait. It is not an exaggeration to call him a "great" figure in the mainland music circle.

Huang Xiaomao has been engaged in behind-the-scenes music work since he established Fengxing Music Studio in 1995. In 1996, he joined Phoenix Chinese Channel and went to work in Hong Kong as the music director of Phoenix TV. He joined Warner Records in 2004 and took over as Warner's general manager after Xu Xiaofeng left Warner the following year. In May 2007, he left Warner and became the general manager of Sony Music China. Huang Xiaomao, who served as the general manager of Sony Music China in 2010, officially resigned before the Spring Festival and was reassigned as a "special advisor" to Cui Zhendong, president of Sony Music Greater China.

Today, despite the downturn in the record industry, Huang Xiaomao still persists behind the scenes in the music industry.

But having said that, my wife is so profitable and my daughter is so cute. Even if I can’t make money in the recording industry, so what?

Ye Bei

2012

Capital Beijing

"Concert of Gao Xiaosong's Works"

The curtain slows down Slowly rising, with a beam of chasing light on the dark stage, the song of the old wolf slowly sounded

"The beginning is us singing

The last is us walking< /p>

My dearest you are like the scenery in a dream

I believe you will go after you wake up from the dream.

At this time, on the other side of the stage, on the other side of the stage, A beam of light lit up, followed by the familiar and long-lost female voice

"The face that is not sad is my boy

The eyes that are not panic are waiting for the changes of the years< /p>

The street where we are most familiar with is already the setting of the setting sun

People meet each other on the street”

1994

In an unknown small bar

Ye Bei, who was still in college at the time, was deeply attracted by the singing and voice on the stage of the small bar. Gao Xiaosong in the audience. Later, there was the classic and popular song "Youth Without Regrets" by He Laolang.

Ye Bei was born in a musical family. She started learning piano at the age of seven, and later entered the high school attached to the China Conservatory of Music. After graduating from high school, she was admitted to the China Conservatory of Music to continue studying vocal music, and received a bachelor's degree in vocal music. Since then he has become a professional singer. When Gu Cheng passed away, Gao Xiaosong created "The Age of Floating White Clothes". With the singing of this song, Ye Bei officially entered the pop music circle and started her own acting career.

Perhaps due to personality reasons, Ye Bei, like his old partner Lao Lang, is not a prolific singer. In the ten years from 1998 to 2008, Ye Bei released four albums. It seems that Ye Bei, who has a professional background, is not very interested in the pop music industry, but concentrated on continuing her singing and music studies.

In 2009, Ye Bei graduated with a master's degree from the China Conservatory of Music. The following year, I married my boyfriend, a lawyer who had returned from studying abroad after graduating from Tsinghua University.

After marriage, Ye Bei seems to be more active than before, and has also started to make some public appearances, and even participated in variety shows such as "The Big Dream Show". Although I have put on a lot of weight, I think it is because of my broad heart and fat body.

As for music,

Ye Bei still insists on almost "playing" output, but the quality is still poor.

The last time we heard her voice was the song "We Seem We Met Somewhere" more than two years ago.

Finally, let me play my favorite song↓↓↓

Yu Dong

On the stage of last year's "The Voice of China", Zhang Lei sang with Lao Lang's song "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" made countless people choke when singing it. That was the first time many people had heard this song, not to mention that its author, Yu Dong, was a name that had long been forgotten. This talented young man was once called a "folk poet."

Yu Dong was born in 1972, and was younger than other musicians at the same time. When he was in high school, Yu Dong often went to the playground of Beijing A&M University for a walk. One night, Shen Qing and Lu Xuejun were playing the piano and singing in the playground. After meeting Yu Dong, Yu Dong began his songwriting career.

Many years ago, Yu Dong, Lu Xuejun, and Shen Qing↓↓↓

Yu Dong is as gentle, silent and shy as his name. In the memories of friends, Yu Dong often stood beside his friends and smoked sullenly, occasionally saying a few simple words, and sometimes blushing.

In August 1994, Yu Dong signed a singer contract with Zhengda. At that time, he was only 22 years old, young but talented.

The songs in this album still sound timeless today 20 years later. One of the songs, "Open Air Cinema", was also covered by Li Jian. At that time, many people felt that this child's future was limitless.

But the story took a big turn on November 1, 2001. Yu Dong drove his car near the Workers' Stadium in Chaoyang District and made a U-turn, accidentally knocking down an old lady. Subsequently, Yu Dong quickly dialed the emergency number "120", and then dialed the traffic accident alarm number "122" to call the police. When the ambulance crew arrived, they found that the old man was dead. The police determined that Yu Dong made an illegal U-turn and should bear full responsibility for the traffic accident. In March 2002, Yu Dong was sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for one year, for causing a traffic accident. From then on, Yu Dong stopped creating. As an introverted and kind-hearted person, he may have been prepared to spend the rest of his life with guilt.

Over the years, both insiders and fans have been calling for Yu Dong to come back. In 2007, Lao Lang sang "From My Heart" as the opening song at a 798 performance. Before the performance, he called Yu Dong and asked him to come and play live, but Yu Dong didn't come. Lao Lang always wanted to do a concert of Yu Dong's works. A fan once recalled that he met Lao Lang on several accidental occasions. Every time he impromptuly ran on stage to sing, almost all the songs he sang were written by Yu Dong. Once at a small live performance, Lao Lang performed on stage and sang "Beijing's". "Winter", the whole audience sang along.

In the second song, he sang "As Time Goes By". Halfway through the song, Lao Lang's tears fell. When he sang "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth", Lao Lang choked up and couldn't sing anymore.

According to Lao Lang, Yu Dong currently works in a company in Zhongguancun, and he has been waiting for Dongzi to return. I don’t know when this genius with a soft and kind heart will be able to clear away the haze in his heart.

Lao Lang insists on sending blessings on his birthday every year↓↓↓

Of course, there are many representatives of folk songs of that generation, and they are still active in the music circle, but they are very It’s hard to make big waves again.

Wait and wait

These names may become more and more distant and unfamiliar

But time will never take away their music

And singing
