Simpleness never has to be humble in the face of luxury

First of all, I would like to thank so many friends present for listening to "The Most Dazzling National Style". I know this song. Many people call it a divine song. It is the standard feature of copycat mobile phones. It is a representative of outrageous vulgarity and low taste. However, I want to say something today: my songs are not simple, not simple at all. It took me ten years to think about these things and research them. Ten years ago, I quit my job as a teacher. I hid it from my family and made a secret promise to myself: I would spend two years making music. If music can’t support me in these two years, I’ll just do whatever I want. There was a lot of pressure at that time. Everyone knows that music is a luxury industry, and you have to buy a lot of equipment and spend a lot of money.

What should I do? Where can I get so much money? I can only work part-time, looking for the dirtiest, most tiring, and most dangerous work. The first job was in a battery production workshop, where production was done on a piece-rate basis. The more you did, the more money you got. In the first month, I worked hard and earned more than 4,000 yuan, so I bought my first sound card. I went there again the next month and heard that there was a high-altitude job, which involved using a ladder to wire wiring. That job was quite dangerous, so I went back to work and bought a synthesizer with more than 6,000 yuan.

Later I went to the restaurant to serve dishes and bought a microphone for recording. After I collected all these equipments, I made demos of the songs I wrote at home, searched for record companies online, and sent probably more than 500 emails, but none of them came to nothing. I finally got a reply, and then the other person said, don't submit any more songs to us, your songs are not good, they are too rubbish. This reply made my heart freeze, but I don’t care, I still have time, I have to persist, I just like music, and I will make music.

Until one day, I received a call from a record company boss asking me if I could become their contracted writer. So happy! Until one day, I was walking on the street and heard a song. I thought the song was very familiar, nice and nice. I just sat there and listened to the song. After listening to it, I slapped my thigh: Oh, this is a song I wrote! Everyone may be familiar with this song, it's called "Don't Say You Love Me When I'm Lonely." The excitement is hard to put into words, you feel that all these things are worth it. Those things are nothing, they are things that you should experience while chasing your youthful dreams.

However, the biggest obstacle in my life that I never expected was that after the song became popular, some music critics said that my songs were trash, vulgar, and low-level. Some music critics even said it in front of me on the show. People said that my songs set back the Chinese music scene by 20 years. This is a very cruel blow to a musician. I spent a long time questioning myself, was the music path and style I was adhering to right? Later, many fans came to support me, and they sent me many small gifts to encourage me. Some even I also sent some videos of his three-year-old child singing my songs and his eighty-year-old grandmother singing my songs, which moved me very much. Seeing their simple smiles, I remembered that sentence: Simplicity never needs to be humble in the face of luxury! So I will persist, adhere to my national style, adhere to my people's music, because changing art towards aesthetics has always been born In the arena, not in the temple! Thank you!
