"What are the worries and anxieties of the band at this stage?"

"to what extent are we? Are you saying that Weibo fans are less than 2,? " The lead singer Li Chang interrupted me with a smile. "I am worried that the members will not graduate, that no one will listen to the new works, that no one will watch the new special, and that the skills will not support our performance."

for the new band, Lao Wang's journey is smooth. All of them came from top universities, and won the Tamkang Golden Shao Award and the Zhengda Golden Xuan Award with a song "Stabilizing It's a Wonderful Life for Three Years and Five Years". In the second year, I wrote the theme song of the Golden Spin Award with the key word "waste teenager", and watched my classmates graduate out of social confusion, and wrote "I am still young, I am still young" which was widely circulated in the future, attracting countless people to cover it.

At the release conference of the second season of Lexia, the name of Lao Wang's band appeared on the list to be invited. Many fans have already recalled the beautiful picture of their flower walk. However, Lao Wang means that the tour is imminent and it is too late to think about it. Revenge writing in middle school Chinese class

Li Chang loves to use metaphors, and is praised as a master of humor by members. No matter in daily life or communication, he has to turn ten corners in his speech. When to ridicule, when to be serious, you should carefully avoid the arrow on the side and jump over the hole dug, so as to deal with him for several rounds.

The new album is still full of symbols, symbols and metaphors, trying to express something or hide something. It seems easy to understand the first time, and after several cycles, some guesses begin to arise unconsciously. Many words are history, but few words are not up to it. Lao Wang's lyrics wander accurately between vernacular and fable, and pierce your skin simply and maliciously.

Except for the cellist Jia Ying, who graduated completely and became a social person, other members of the group either postponed graduation or went to graduate school and became amateur students. The professional musician

Li Chang in middle school had already written novels with ten thousand characters, but his reading comprehension score was very low in every exam. Now it's his turn to give questions to the audience. The favorite thing to do is to lurk in the comment area of various music platforms and watch all kinds of interpretations and messages.

"Because of this, we can choose more reasonable answers." In 219, Lao Wang Band's new album test questions and reference answers

"My Day, Three Provinces, My Body" continues the naming method of the Analects of Confucius in the last EP "I am determined to learn", and also starts with the word "I", and gradually transitions from the school stage to adult society, workplace and love.

"introspection" is one of the key words. Usually, it means repentance after doing something wrong, but in Lao Wang's eyes, it represents rethinking and examining things in different aspects, which is more like a spirit than an act.

Another key word is "My Day", which tells a whole day's story from the first Intro "I don't know how to reflect" to the last one "Regular Life". The two songs are connected with diametrically opposite chords, just like walking in the Mobius ring. As the album copywriter wrote: "Please continue to reflect well, and you will eventually be freed, and what will meet you will be the next endless cycle."

The album cover was created by illustrator Fritillaria cirrhosa according to the song: In the lush green, people quietly set fire, animals hurriedly ran away, and the boy slept peacefully in the middle house. It echoes the concept of the album "I don't know how to reflect".

The seemingly fresh and lovely illustration is actually a mystery. See the arsonist hiding in the bushes in the lower right corner?

after the soft Intro, the powerful guitar gives people a straight punch in the face. "Coming" is the first emotion experienced in a day. At the moment when you open your eyes, all kinds of complicated things go straight to the top of the skull, and various opportunities are mixed in, but you are not ready yet. At 2:3 seconds, guitarist Wei Shuo used the sliding tube to create a dizzy and psychedelic feeling, just like we were pushed into life at a loss.

When Li Chang wrote this song, he was in his hometown in Taichung. A gust of wind blew the curtains and soothed his anxiety, so he had a beginning. At that time, it happened that Wei Shuo's relatives had a car accident, and two stories were added together to produce this song.

"Fishing" was written in the graduation season of job hunting. Unfortunately, many industries are saturated, young people are facing unemployment, or they are struggling for an iron rice bowl. Thousands of civil servants compete for one or two jobs every year. "Dry rivers, crowded boats/fishing hooks of ignorant people" is a portrayal of the economic situation and young people on this island.

They Run on the Tin Roof, which is as passionate and tragic as a war song, originated from a personal social event. A couple in their forties and fifties moved across from Li Chang's residence. Every morning when they go out, they will lean against the door and greet them warmly: Good morning, handsome guy, take an umbrella with you when it rains today; Handsome guy gets up early. Oh, thanks.

This situation lasted about a month. Li Chang suddenly received a phone call from his roommate on the tour. It turned out that the couple were fugitives and secretly pried open the door and lived in the iron house opposite. Courtesy greeting in the morning is to make sure there is no one at home, which is convenient for stealing and sucking super glue. On that day, they were found by the police and jumped from the second floor to the tin roof behind them and began to escape.

Lao Wang returned to the scene of the crime to restore what happened ...

From 3:45 seconds, the sound of guitar kept alternating left and right channels in the earphone. This was a whim of producer Li Yongen, which brought out the picture that the prisoners fled in haste and the police surrounded each other separately. They laughed and said, "We recorded it while running."

The pure music "Day and Night Impermanence" is like the sunset at dusk, from day to night. "Those sleepless nights and unforgettable things" and "It will be dawn in a minute" were written on a night when they suddenly woke up. In addition to thinking hard about their own way out, they also left a song in the dark.

"Once Woman, Where Are You? Where Are You?" is basically the only love song written by Lao Wang in the album, and it is also a very old new song. At that time, Li Chang's schoolmate and roommate were deeply involved with three girls, but none of them succeeded, and the girl he liked ran away with others. In order to comfort him, Li Chang gave this song to his roommate who was like a vegetable.

"I think he is in a better mood after listening ...?" Li Chang said with less confidence.

However, if you want the members to choose a potential stock that will be popular again after I am still young, they all bet on An Jiu.

The lead singer, bassist Liao Jiemin and drummer Feng Huiyuan are both studying at Chengchi University, and Anjiu is one of the student restaurants. Because it is inconvenient to go down the mountain, the life of freshmen is basically carried out in Anjiu. Eating, chatting, dating, writing reports, playing mahjong, at most, there are three or four groups of people playing the piano and singing together.

The memories of those years are sour, but they gradually return to sweetness with the accumulation of time. Compared with the adult world, the sadness and happiness at that time were especially pure and direct. An Jiu has a grocery store. Every time the boss sees them, he laughs and pats them on the shoulder and says, "It's going to be the next Sodagreen!"

Tian Can, the boss of An Jiu, the head of the second generation grocery store, was also invited to participate in Lao Wang's Taipei special performance.

The MV of An Jiu was directed by Liu Li, a former drummer in Caodong. Lao Wang's drummer was also engaged in video work before Huiyuan. He met Liu Li by chance at the dinner party and invited him to shoot it. Seaside, riverbank, fireworks, barbecue, level crossing, boys and girls, joy and sadness. Like a Taiwan Province youth drama, it brings together all the beautiful elements in memory, and finally ends with unavoidable growth.

There was a "stable It's a Wonderful Life/three-year, five-year gaopukao" before, and then there was a "regular life will lead you to the end". You always thought that Pharaoh was going to throw himself into the arms of "Buddhist life", but he was still struggling to make waves under the stagnant water. "Regular Life" is the least "regular" song in the whole album, from the three beats of the main song to the three beats followed by five beats of the chorus, and the number of interludes in the last paragraph changes irregularly.

At this point, we have solved most of the puzzles and stories in the album, and we can try to connect them in series with a timeline: the morning rush hour is coming, and we can't catch too many opportunities and ideas; Enter the workplace and encounter the current economic and industrial problems; Hanging out during the lunch break, I saw the escaped prisoner running on the roof, which was an unexpected episode in the life of another group of people in society; Insomnia night, students' time and former love came into my mind; Before you know it, it's almost dawn, and you are determined to live a regular life; Wake up in the morning, it is another day of introspection.

"Are you psychologically affected by your reading comprehension in those days? Who can get high marks on such an exam?" After listening to this long answer, I heaved a sigh of relief.

"Then don't write it. I want to see fans create it again." Standing with an honest face, Li Chang said with a smile. We don't care about

the cello has always been an important factor that distinguishes Lao Wang from other independent orchestras. In that year, because the former bassist had to leave the team for a period of time to take the civil service exam, Li Changtuo found a cellist in Taipei University Music Club to temporarily make up for the lack of bass. Unexpectedly, the former bass player is gone forever, but the cello has been preserved.

Lao Wang was originally a folk band, but the new album shows the complete form of rock and roll after evolution, especially the coordination of bass, cello and drum in bass, which produces powerful * * * vibration with the rhythm and tone closest to the heart.

In European and American bands, it is not uncommon for strings to join rock bands. Besides classical music, Jia Ying also listens to a lot of independent music, and the members will make adjustments for the arrangement of cello together.

The arrangement of guitarist Wei Shuo likes to interweave the two instruments in a conversational way. You can hear many songs, such as cello solo followed by electric guitar, or bass solo changing the violin after, constantly taking over the lead and enriching the level.

Since the concept of "continental cavity" was put forward, most Taiwan troupes with clear articulation and low voice lines have been labeled as such. Lao Wang is one of the representative bands, and their "second hometown" is also in many WeChat articles, all the way from Hebei to the northeast.

"I just want everyone to hear clearly, there is nothing special." Li Chang himself saw it clearly. "Besides, the mainland is so big that every place has a different accent. Who can say what a continental accent is?"

As for being called Wan Qing, Li Changfeng said lightly, "It's probably because everyone has cellos. We don't care much about this kind of rude classification." "Lao Wang": a sad comedy character

The name of Lao Wang's band comes from "Where Are You, Where Are You". At that time, there happened to be a competition, and I didn't know what to name it, so I took Lao Wang in the song as the name of the band. They don't think they are soft romantics, and they are by no means the fierce resistance of their predecessors.

Lao Wang, an untimely participant in a relationship, is also a bystander, usually interacting with secular and absurd comedies;

Lao Wang Band, a struggling practitioner in real life, is also a recorder and allegory, presenting us with strong feelings as strong as tragic insight.

They arranged the release of the song "Hanging My Black-and-White Photo at the Door of the cram school" satirizing the education system on Teacher's Day, and arranged the release of "Where were you once, woman? Where were you?" on May 21st. I became a woman the day after I loved you.

"Oh/is the ideal taste/fragrance left after the thoughts burn out". In the whole album, Li Chang likes the phrase "They are running on the tin roof" best, but it is used to describe fugitives.

Lao Wang once shot an advertisement MV in person, and everyone agreed: It's not interesting at all! A quarrel between Jie Min and Li Chang was filmed for more than 2 times, until he doubted his life

Li Chang said that he liked to use metaphors to make things look simpler. Although the members protested in a low voice that there was no such thing, it did not prevent the world-weary youth in Taipei and the beat generation in the United States from singing at a certain moment, from letting young people on both sides of the strait put aside their prejudices and share their confusion, and from having "trembling hearts and hot feet" like fugitives.

On the day when the single An Jiu was released, the league members went back to school and asked the boss to help them take a photo of running in front of the grocery store. Under the black-and-white frame, they laughed very easily and wantonly, as if they had returned to the era of "happiness and sadness are written on our faces". Aside from metaphors, symbols and symbols, there is no need to hide any emotions. Ask and answer quickly
