Crying all over the singing stage
“It’s another boring evening self-study session. My classmates are secretly playing games in the drawers, and I always face you in the upper left corner, with The tacit understanding between your eyes..."
On the stage, 19-year-old Luo Cheng was performing his own song "The Star in the Upper Left Corner". His handsome appearance, magnetic voice, melodious melody, and youthful and lively style attracted the attention of more than 2,000 teachers and students in the school. For a time, the endless screams, whistles, shouts, and cheers merged into boiling waves...
Shenzhen Tsinghua Experimental School under night is a sea of ??joy.
After singing the last song, Luo Chang suddenly realized that tears had already covered his cheeks. Even the director, who looked dissatisfied during the rehearsal, jumped up excitedly and gave Luo Chang a warm hug. Luo Chang's perfect performance exceeded everyone's expectations. The students were amazed: Luo Chang on the stage and off the stage were two different people. He seemed to be born for the stage, so energetic.
This was a history-making concert. It was the first middle school student in the country to hold a solo concert on campus. The concert was hosted by Liang Liang, the most popular entertainment host in the country, and was behind the scenes by the production team of "The Same Song". Famous musicians Zhu Derong and Su La participated in the creation of the song, and the production level was top-notch.
On November 30, 2008, 19-year-old Luo Chan, with his music dream in hand, wrote an important chapter in his life journey.
On this day, there were many firsts for Luo Chang: the official release of his first solo album "Autumn Diary"; the first time he held a solo concert; the first time he had a group of "Screws that never rust."
On this day, his musical dream became clearer... He secretly told himself: Work hard, and try harder.
Singing talent is innate
Perhaps due to the genetic factors inherited from his grandparents who performed in art troupes, Luo Chang's musical talent seems to be innate.
At the age of 6, Luo Chang could imitate and sing popular songs such as "Love to Work Hard to Win", "Xiao Fang", "Mom's Kiss", "I Only Care About You" and so on. . Every time there are gatherings of relatives and friends at home, everyone shouts: "Luo Chang, come, sing a song." Every time, Luo Chang will generously agree and sing and dance for a long time. Amid everyone's warm applause, Luo Chang felt an inexplicable sense of pride.
It’s just that Luo Chang’s parents never thought about letting him become a singer in the future and follow the path of music. They wholeheartedly hope that Luo Chang will be among the best in his studies and be admitted to the ideal university. Luo Chang's father said: "Giving the child the special name Luo Chang is just to make him study hard and not dare to do bad things, otherwise everyone will remember him." However, what the father did not expect was that many years later, everyone would still remember him. I lived with Luo Shu, not because of doing bad things, but because of Luo Shu's songs.
When he was a child, Luo Chang was indeed very obedient. Apart from playing around with his younger brother, he never caused any trouble. However, Luo Shuo's academic performance was always average, which made Luo Shuo's father worried that iron would not become steel. He also hated Luo Shuo's addiction to music. Luo Chang was afraid of his father's gaze, and therefore became melancholy and sensitive.
For a long time, Luo Chang and his father were like two unrelated strangers. As soon as he got home, Luo Cheng hid in his room and immersed himself in his own music world. Music became his best companion and spiritual refuge. He liked JJ Lin's singing skills, Jay Chou's talent, Luo Zhixiang's dancing... At that time, Luo Chang didn't have any lofty dreams. He just simply loved music and the feeling of singing loudly. Music made him temporarily forget many worldly worries.
Music allowed him to bury the hatchet with his father
When Luo Chang was in the second year of junior high school, his father accidentally went to Tsinghua Experimental School and found that the school campus was very grand and had a strong learning atmosphere. So he decided to let Luo Chang transfer to another school. He hoped that this atmosphere would stimulate Luo Chang's interest in learning.
In this new and beautiful campus, Luo Chang became a resident student. Here, Luo Chang is at home like a fish in water.
He still loves to sing, and sweet singing will come from time to time in the classroom corridors, dormitories, bathrooms... wherever there is Luo Chang. Not only did he imitate some singers vividly, he also often liked to tamper with the lyrics and improvise. Those witty and humorous words sung from his mouth have a special flavor. Some students will continue to sing one or two lines, while others are listening attentively, hoping that he will continue singing.
Soon, Luo Chang's singing talent was discovered by his teacher, who recommended him to participate in various competitions. Luo Chang lived up to expectations. In May 2005, he won the runner-up in the second campus "Top Ten Singers" Karaoke Competition; in February 2006, he won the first prize in the vocal group of the first "China Youth Fine Arts Exhibition Series"; in August 2006, In the "2006 Flying Dreams - International Art Exchange Ambassador Selection Event", he won the National Gold Medal in the Vocal Youth Group, and won the Special Award for Image Ambassador and the title of Shenzhen Image Ambassador; in July 2007, he won the "Happy Boys" Changsha Division, In the Guangzhou Division, he entered the top 50 respectively.
Once, when he went to Guangzhou to compete, Luo Chang specially asked his parents to accompany him. For three whole days, they accompanied Luo Chang in rehearsals, makeup, filming, and competitions. In the days when he spent time with Luo Chang, watching his son's enthusiasm for music, dedication to performance and outstanding performance, Luo Chang's father finally let go. It turned out that his incompetent son in his eyes was not as good as he thought. A different path. He never understood or supported but became Luo Chang's "close comrade-in-arms" and began to do his best to create conditions for Luo Chang to release albums and learn music.
Luo Chang became cheerful. He said: "Thanks to music, my father and I have cleared up the differences and become friends who talk about everything."
At the same time, Luo Chang's reputation in school grew, and he was selected by his classmates as President of the school vocal club, director of the cultural and entertainment department of the school student union, and leader of the high school art troupe. Luo Chang's leadership talents were fully utilized and he became sunny, confident and positive. At Tsinghua Experimental School, Luo Chang found his own sky through music.
Creating a new album with all your heart
The biggest setback Luo Chen encountered on his music journey was in July 2007, when he participated in the "Happy Boys" competition. After passing all the tests along the way, in a promotion competition, the other two judges recognized Luo Chang, but judge Yang Erche Namu said: "Although you sing well and are handsome, I just won't let you pass." In one sentence, Luo Chang stopped at fifty.
At that time, Luo Chang was very sad, but because of these words, it aroused his infinite fighting spirit. He said to himself: "One day, I will make the best music. Sing the most beautiful song."
Shortly after the competition, Luo Chen met the famous musician Zhu Derong under the introduction of a journalist friend.
When Luo Chu finished singing the song he composed, Teacher Zhu greatly appreciated it and said: "You are very talented, you can consider releasing your own music album."
Get it Encouraged by famous people, Luo Chang was inexplicably excited. After several months of communication, in March 2008, Luo Chen's new album began to be intensively created.
The album contains eight songs. Teacher Zhu Derong specially found Su La, and together they composed the title song "Autumn Diary" for Luo Chang.
Luo Chang said that he himself is a somewhat melancholic person and he likes the feeling of autumn very much. The light and refreshing feeling can take away many sad memories. Therefore, he used this song as the title of his new album.
In the album, "No More You" and "The Star in the Upper Left Corner" were written and composed by Luo Shu himself. His way of writing songs is very special. When inspiration comes, he uses the time in self-study class to write it. It took only a short time and no orchestration, but it was very popular among the students. In his senior year of high school, Luo Chan and his friend Luo Jiwang composed the song "Aftertaste of Mo Tian".
Luo Chan said that "The Star in the Upper Left Corner" was actually written for a girl, who happened to be sitting in his upper left corner. This green love song ended without any problem, but it was very beautiful.
So he wrote in the song: "I am used to looking at you with the pout in the upper left corner. The relationship between friends will only make me satisfied, even if it is a good memory in the end..."
This song It was put on the Internet, and the hit rate reached more than 2,000 people on the most popular day.
On the title page of the new album, the famous lyricist Su La wrote: "The green love songs of the jingjing campus, the beautiful mood of the Mood for Love; when the sunset dances in the sunset, the autumn of youth is in longing. Loneliness. “This is also what Luo Chen wanted for this new album.
On November 30, Luo Chang’s new album press conference was held grandly at the school. Hu Bing, deputy director of the Literature and Art Department of the Propaganda Department of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee, Yao Feng, vice chairman of the Shenzhen Music Association, famous musicians Zhu Derong, He Muyang, Su La and more than 30 media from Guangzhou and Shenzhen attended the launch ceremony.
Teacher He Muyang said with emotion: "How can it be completed so quickly? It's very good in such a short time."
In school, the album was a hot seller and was sold out quickly. There were more than 500 signatures, and Luo Chang was reluctant to sign them.
That night, Luo Chang's solo concert was held as scheduled in the school gymnasium, and more than 2,000 teachers and students became witnesses of his journey to pursue his dream.
As a senior high school graduate who is about to face the college entrance examination, Luo Chang is very busy preparing for the concert. For a concert that would normally take an actor one or two years to prepare, Luo Cheng completed it in more than two months. He traveled between school and the rehearsal room. He missed some classes and became tired and thin.
My father did not dare to tell Luo Shu about many details of the concert preparations, because Luo Shu was a very serious person and he demanded perfection in everything, which would take up more of his study time. Luo Chen said with a smile: "I am a very troublesome person."
Ask Luo Chen why he chose this tense period before the college entrance examination to hold a concert?
"This has been a dream of mine for many years. My teachers and classmates have been looking forward to this day for a long time, and the time is ripe in all aspects."
Concert After receiving a lot of praise, Luo Chang said: "If the concert was 100 points, I would give myself 87 points."
At the end of the concert, Luo Chang, who was in tears, became more determined on the road of music. Determination to go on.
The screw that never rusts
Overnight, Luo Chang became a very popular star on campus. For example, when Luo Chang went to the canteen and found a "screw", he couldn't find the paper, so he simply asked him to sign a tissue. Luo Chang almost fainted, but luckily he didn't take him too far and ran away.
The most depressing thing was the classmates walking with Luo Chang. Some female classmates just stared at Luo Chang, and some even glared at the boys next to him. I don’t know if they were jealous or angry. ...
Luo Chang had to find a way to cover his face when riding in the car, for fear of being recognized by his classmates.
Luo Chang became popular, and his friends were all happy for him. Many friends have also begun to learn to write lyrics and music. They often ask Luo Chang sincerely: "Should I write lyrics first? Or compose music first?" Luo Chang couldn't help laughing and said with a smile: "It's all OK."
People who first met Luo Chang generally thought that he was a gentle, handsome, and restrained boy; in the eyes of teachers, Luo Chang was a motivated, conscientious, healthy-minded, and well-educated child; in the eyes of friends, , Luo Chang is a boy who is dedicated to music, values ??love and justice, is mature, and is good at planning and performing.
In fact, Luo Chang has many other sides that are unknown to the public. He is a very emotional person who expresses his joys and sorrows. Laugh when you are happy and cry when you are unhappy. He has a compassionate heart and would often prepare some change in his pocket to give to people begging on the street; he would pick up a stray cat from a certain place; during the Wenchuan earthquake, as the squad leader, he actively organized donations from his classmates and himself He donated 777 yuan, becoming the student with the most donations in the school; he is also a very attentive and considerate person, he will secretly remember the food that each friend likes to eat, and treat classmates to eat when they don’t expect it; he also has a grateful heart I always send text messages of thanks and congratulations to my teachers and classmates during holidays.
Once, Luo Chen felt very sad when he heard that their math teacher, Teacher Lu, would no longer teach them because he was getting married.
In the last class, as soon as Teacher Lu entered the classroom, the melody of "Today You Will Marry Me" slowly sounded. The students fired a salute and said in unison: "Happy wedding, teacher!"
Teacher Lu said with tears and choked up: "I can no longer teach you..." Huge sadness spread in the classroom. The students were speechless and only listened to Luo Changhan's words. She said with tears: "No."
Although I could not keep Teacher Lu that day, the emotional scene was unforgettable for all the students and Teacher Zhang. And this scene was all planned by Luo Chang. On the day of Luo Chang's concert, Teacher Lu also became a "screw" and came all the way from other places to watch.
Luo Chang has a strong desire to perform, and when he gets the urge, he can be an astonishing master of comedy. He would put on slippers, tight pajamas, a suit over his pajamas, and then walk out of the dormitory to take a walk, drawing laughter. He is also a director who likes to use mobile phones to take pictures and serves as his own screenwriter.
For example, once, he and several classmates in the dormitory finished eating KFC, leaving an empty box. In order to comfort a classmate who did not eat KFC, Luo Chen asked him to be the spokesperson of KFC and delivered a speech in front of the camera, making the classmates stagger with laughter.
Luo Chang often asked a classmate to imitate the host of a news network program and explain interesting campus events impromptu. Of course, the more alternative the language, the better. These interesting clips were circulated among classmates, causing laughter wherever they went.
Luo Shuo, who attaches great importance to love and justice and often brings happiness to his friends, has won a group of "screws that never rust".
Luo Chang possesses the perseverance, sensibility and passion of an artist. He loves music, life and everyone in his life who are worthy of cherishment.
Luo Chang said that no matter how many ups and downs he encounters on the road of music, he will face them bravely. If one day he has the ability, he hopes to do some charity work to help more people realize their music dreams. His current dream is to work hard to enter the Xinghai Conservatory of Music for further studies.
Luo Chang, who is only 19 years old, knows how to be grateful, know how to struggle, and how to love and care. Because of this, his songs often have a touching charm that makes people want to stop. For such an innocent boy, I believe that one day, he and his music dream will eventually ride the wind and waves and reach the other side of their ideal.
