When it comes to the grassroots dark horses that once emerged in the Chinese music scene, everyone may think of Daolang! I don't know when, he has gradually faded out of people's sight. Recalling the original "The First Snow in 2002", the author can't help but hum "The first snow in 2002 came later than usual..." Although this song was written in 2002, But it was only released in 2004. After Daolang finished composing this song, it took two years to polish it before he was satisfied. One can imagine Daolang's respect and "strictness" for music. Jackie Chan once praised Daolang

Jackie Chan once said of Daolang: "World peace cannot be achieved by force alone. It can also move people with emotion. We must learn from Mr. Daolang on this." Jackie Chan gave Daolang such a high evaluation, It shows that Daolang's love songs are particularly good. It was thought that he would have great development, but no one expected that he would choose to quit the music industry when he was at the height of his popularity.

The latest news about Daolang is that at the end of 2019, Daolang sued Jiangyang Zhuoma for performance infringement. As a singer, Jiangyang Zhuoma often uses Daolang's songs "Love Song of the West Sea" and "Tenderness in the Hand" to participate in commercials. He performed and sang these two songs into his representative works. Faced with Jiangyang Zhuoma's bottomless copyright infringement, Daolang, who has always been low-key, had to step forward to resolve the matter. ? Although Daolang appeared this time due to copyright issues, it still made his fans happy. After all, Daolang has "disappeared" for too long. Many people don't understand why Daolang, who was famous all over the country, suddenly "disappeared"? How is he doing now? ?Daolang’s experience of becoming famous

Daolang’s real name is Luo Lin. He was born in Luoquan Town, Zizhong County in 1971. He came to a karaoke hall in Neijiang from Zizhong County to learn keyboard instruments before graduating from junior high school. He didn't even graduate from junior high school. It can be imagined that compared with the singers trained by music conservatories, there is undoubtedly a certain gap between him and his music. Some of the talents shown in the film showed his own hard work; after that, he worked as a stall owner in Chengdu, Chongqing, Tibet, and Anxi for more than four years.

In the end, with the help of Chen Shuaifo, he learned musical instruments while wandering; he also formed the "Scalpel" band with Bashu comedian Liao Jian, performing in concert halls in Neijiang and Chengdu. It can be said that most people only saw his sudden glory, but never thought about how difficult Daolang's life was at the beginning and how hard and persistent he was for his music dream!

Later, Daolang went to Hainan to sing. During these five years, he formed the band "Sons of the Earth" and served as the keyboard player. However, it was disbanded due to the pressure of life. During his most difficult time, he met Zhu Mei followed him to Xinjiang. Because of this, with the encouragement of his wife, he got out of the trough of life and became Daolang! Na Ying ridiculed that only farmers would listen to Daolang's songs

While gaining huge fame and fortune, Daolang, who had always focused on creating good music, was also questioned. Yang Kun said that his songs cannot be called music, Wang Feng said that Daolang's songs were very average, and famous producer Lu Zhongqiang said that the quality of Daolang's songs was too poor. The peak of the controversy occurred in 2010. This year, the "Top Ten Most Influential Singers" were selected by the Light Music Billboard, and Daolang's name was on the list.

When Na Ying, the chairman of the judges of this year’s Music Awards, saw Daolang’s name, she objected. She bluntly said: “The people who go to KTV to order Daolang’s songs are all farmers. This is a music award. Musicality must come first, then contribution to the music scene, and finally record sales. Dolang is too lacking in musicality and should not be considered." Apart from his record sales qualifying him to participate in this selection, he has no qualifications that can be used to rank him among the most influential singers of this decade. As the chairman, I am firmly opposed to Daolang being the subject of discussion. "In the end, one of the "Top Ten Most Influential Singers" selected by Light was missing.

This kind of disapproval and "slander" made Daolang, who was focusing on music at the time, unable to understand. He said: "I have lived in a very self-centered space since I was a child. I have always felt that music is the best, and I have automatically given up many things in life. I almost do it as a faith, because after my music became famous, so many people talked about me, and some people didn't like my music, saying that I was vulgar, and they were said everywhere. I suddenly felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on my head, and it was chilling to the bone. "? Daolang chose to retire voluntarily

Along with the controversy, Daolang's privacy was lost. Daolang found that his life was being spied on, and he felt like "being stripped naked." He Don't like this feeling. Daolang's peaceful creative environment was also broken. He had to go to commercial performances and had no time to write new songs. He also doesn't like his songs being played on the street all day long regardless of the occasion. He thinks this will ruin his songs. In the end, Daolang decided to leave the turbulent Vanity Fair. He refused media interviews and rarely participated in performances. He just wanted to concentrate on creating music. He said frankly: "My goal is to be a second- or third-tier singer. It was really an accident that I became famous. ”

Daolang chose to take the initiative to retire. His daily life was to write songs, accompany his family, and help his apprentice Yun Duo. However, it was also during this period that his song "Love Is You and Me" won the twelfth place The "Five One Projects" award of the 2016 edition has been highly recognized by the government and the private sector. However, Dao Lang, who has experienced glory and doubt, has taken everything down. He said: "Whether you like it or question it, these are not important, because we will eventually be forgotten by everyone."

Dao Lang likes not to be forgotten now. He said frankly, "I am very happy. I really like the life of walking on the street to buy groceries and bargain at random prices." And when he revisits Daolang's songs after so many years, what is his level?

Na Ying said that Daolang’s songs had no musicality or aesthetic value, and that only farmers would listen to them, but the reality was that they looked down upon them and couldn’t compare with them. In fact, how do you define whether a song is good or not, and who likes to listen to it? When ordinary people listen to a song, the first thing they hear is the melody. As long as it is a melody they like, they think the song is good. But whether a song sounds good or not is subjective. For example, some people like JJ Lin's songs, but others don't. Whether it sounds good or not is a personal subjective feeling. There is no fixed standard and it varies from person to person. So just because you don’t like a song doesn’t mean it’s not a good song, and if you like it it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good song.

The quality of a song must be able to withstand the test of time. Only songs that have not been eliminated after a long time are good songs. Like "Mouse Loves Rice" when I was a child, almost everyone could sing it, but now it has almost been forgotten. Such a song is not considered a good song, it will be forgotten by time.

The songs of Xu Song, Jay Chou, and Dao Lang appeared a long time ago, and they are still very popular today. Many people still listen to them, and they have not been forgotten by time. It’s because their songs are of high quality, whether it’s lyrics or melody, you will have different feelings when you listen to them at different times. The quality of a song depends on its connotation. Sometimes we like a song, not because of how gorgeous its lyrics are or how nice the melody is, but because it makes us scream. Therefore, when creating a song, it is best to give it emotion and make many people feel the same way.
