This is the emotion of Zero Point Band after its disbandment.

Without lead singer Zhou Xiaoou, this band no longer has a soul. However, the disbandment of Zero Point Band cannot be entirely blamed on Zhou Xiaoou, but is a problem with their style.

As the leader of Asian rock music, Zero Point Band has created a legend of an era.

But to this day, it has long disappeared from public view.

Why did they disband? What was the reason for the disbandment this time?

If they had not disbanded, they would have become a palace band in the rock world. What exactly have they experienced?

01.

1969 was the most important year for rock music. Although it was not the rise of rock music, it gave birth to figures who made rock music stronger, such as Dou Wei , Gao Xiaosong...

And Zhou Xiaoou was also born in this year.

Because his father is engaged in the dubbing industry, he also has strict requirements on Zhou Xiaoou's talents. During his childhood, he was accompanied by musical instruments.

When he was 17 years old, he longed for the prairie of Inner Mongolia and went on a trip. Unexpectedly, during his trip, he met four young people (Da Mao (Li Ying), bassist Wang Xiaodong, Ermao Li Xiaojun, keyboard Chaoluo Meng).

They have the same rock and roll dream, letting themselves go on the prairie and having a great time.

At that time, they had not formed a band yet, they just played together, but they had a good understanding and had fun together.

Perhaps because of this, they wanted to continue to pass on their dreams together, so they established the Lingdian Band.

At that time, rock music bands basically didn’t exist yet, so they were like ground zero, starting from scratch.

Zhou Xiaoou, the lead singer, also said:

Immediately, the five people moved to Beijing and started working hard.

At first, they just sang other people's songs and wandered around in major bars, and were ridiculed by many people.

Moreover, several of them are still huddled in a basement in Beijing, just to save some money.

Later they realized that covering other people’s songs was not an option and they had no choice but to follow their own path.

Moreover, in the early 1990s, rock music gradually appeared, but it was still a marginalized existence. Those who played rock music were very classy, ??and they either rebelled against the mainstream and sang with roars and anger. .

But in their eyes, this is not the case.

Almost everyone knows that most people who play rock music have long hair, but Zhou Xiaoou has a "zero point" bald image just like the name of the band.

02.

In their hearts, except for Zhou Xiaoou, the other four people are from Inner Mongolia. They have a very primitive philosophy of life, and there is no such thing in the songs they sing. So much sadness and resentment.

Therefore, the rock music they sang was not accepted for a long time.

In 1996, the band Lingdian released their first album "Don't Get Me Misunderstood". The title song "Don't Get Me Misunderstood" by the same name also became the most popular song on major radio stations.

It is precisely because of this song that the Lingdian Band became famous in the music industry.

At that time, there were no rock bands that became popular in the music scene. They were the first, and they were also called "the first pop rock band in the Mainland".

In fact, there are some positive elements in their music.

Immediately afterwards, they released their second album "The Starting Point of Eternity", with the lead song "Love Me or Not", which became one of the most popular songs of the year.

In just two years, their album sales reached 2 million, which was a miracle in the Chinese music scene at that time.

The Lingdian band, which has become famous, has reached the pinnacle of music, and has won many awards.

Facing this popular Zero Point band, their colleagues began to become jealous and stood up to accuse them, saying that they did not play rock and roll and were only trying to make money.

Indeed, after becoming famous, their ability to make money has greatly increased.

Along with wealth, there is also a reputation. As the lead singer, Zhou Xiaoou was even called a "fake rocker".

But they don't care, they still set off a strong rock trend in the rock world.

During this period, they achieved each other's success and made each other brilliant.

After becoming famous, Zhou Xiaoou also met his wife, got married to her, and also participated in a TV series.

03.

However, no one could have imagined that the Zero Point Band would choose to disband at its peak.

In 2008, Zhou Xiaoou announced his withdrawal from the Lingdian Band and would no longer serve as the lead singer.

It must be said that this news was quite a sensation at the time, causing the entire entertainment industry to explode, speculating on the reason why Zhou Xiaoou left the team.

You know, this is a band that has been working hard for 14 years, but when they became famous, they chose to part ways.

When choosing to launch, Zhou Xiaoou also suffered a series of abuses, was pushed to the forefront, and was harshly called a "traitor" and "white-eyed wolf".

When public opinion intensified, Zhou Xiaoou’s manager stood up and revealed the reason for the disbandment of Lingdian Band. He said

When the lead singer of a band announced his departure, there is no doubt that this The band was also at risk of breaking up.

Regarding Lingdian Band, Zhou Xiaoou, who left, also published an article on his blog called "There is no banquet that lasts forever."

There is a sentence in it that Zhou Xiaoou felt deeply:

Moving towards "destruction" is indeed a trend.

Because after the drug-related incident, the Zero Point Band also suffered a big blow.

This is true whether it is reputation or record sales.

In 2011, Zhou Xiaoou sang the famous song "Love Me or Not" by Lingdian Music on a program. This song can be said to have caused a lot of people to scream and make them recall It’s the age of youth and passion.

But what he didn't know was that it was precisely because of this song that the brothers turned against each other.

They took Zhou Xiaoou to court with a lawsuit, claiming 5.3 million yuan.

The former brothers drifted apart and completely fell apart.

As everyone knows, how beautiful they were at the beginning, but how miserable they were at the end.

This is really true.

Times have changed too quickly, and the band Zero Point has also faded out of everyone’s mind.

Yes, when the times abandon you, they won’t even say hello.

Although there has been a big change now, and the Zero Point Band has returned to the stage, it no longer has the same flavor as before.

As time flies by, Lingdian Band has finally become our memory.
