Luo Zhixiang, who was born in a Canton band family, was originally a Cantonese band with a poor business. Relying only on my father's simple musical instrument and my mother's singing voice, it actually has no special features.
Luo Zhixiang was only two years old at that time, and he watched his uncle playing drums in the Kang Band every day. There were two cracker barrels placed upside down at home, which were his drums, and no one noticed. Until one day when my mother was practicing singing at home, she discovered that there was a tapping sound coming from behind, and the tapping sound was exactly on the rhythm of the song. The "three-year-old genius drummer" Luo Zhixiang was discovered just like that! Since then, it has become the most signature performance of the Luo Jiakang Band, and it has become a very loud and popular Hong Kong band.
A few months later, Luo’s father wanted to buy a new set of drums for the Kang Band. In a shopping mall with many musical instrument stores, Luo Zhixiang, who was 3 years old and less than 100 centimeters tall, climbed on the drum chair and tried out the drums on the spot. Standing up, such a strange sight startled a group of passers-by who were watching. The most special one among the passers-by, he quickly handed over his business card to the American who met Luo's father, "I will sign a contract with you. This child will be brought to the United States for training. I guarantee that he will become an internationally famous drum king in the future!"
Because he was an only child, and because he was only three years old, the Luo family did not agree because they were reluctant to part with it.
Luo Zhixiang may have missed a huge opportunity because of this.
But his miraculous music path of making steel with local methods and self-study began like this... He has never received any formal music training, unlike most people who have been trained by their parents to learn formal music since childhood. Singer Luo Zhixiang is very different.
Perhaps it is a kind of bloodline, a genetic characteristic, very magical, some originally very complicated music theory and doctrine, maybe under the guidance of a dedicated person, you can really save a lot of time to study.
There is no teacher to teach you. In addition to talent, you must not be afraid of hard work, and more importantly, you must have fun. Luo Zhixiang, who hosts the show, has not stopped making friends because of his heavy workload.
It was a break in the recording, and the band keyboard teacher just walked away, and he started playing the teacher's keyboard..., "Have you ever learned keyboard?" The keyboard teacher who suddenly came back said to Luo Zhixiang from behind. "No, I learned it every time I watched you practice in the video." Luo Zhixiang's answer made the band teacher dumbfounded on the spot.
Later on, every time he took a video break, Luo Zhixiang would surprise the orchestra teacher, "I never taught you this, how could you do this?!" This became what the teacher often said.
That may be a style and a route, compared to those singer-songwriters who have received a lot of professional training. Luo Zhixiang's music route has a DIY magic.
Writing two songs while working: "Red Line" and "You Say What's Yours and I Say What's Mine"
Three years without a record, Luo Zhixiang did not stop. "I really like singing," Luo Zhixiang said. On the days when he could not release his films, he began to write songs, and he believed that one day he could sing them. I am used to recording melodies with my mobile phone, and inspiration is fleeting. When music suddenly comes out of my head, I hum it and record it quickly.
"The Red Line" was written while filming the movie in Hong Kong.
"You Say Yours and I Say Mine" was recorded humming while the show was filming in Thailand. The phone screen was soaked with sweat under the bright sun.
What he is most happy about is that in addition to receiving lyrics from the new era talent Vivian Hsu, "You Say Yours and I Say Mine" was also selected by Sister Chai as the ending theme of "HI, Working Girl" starring him and Jolin Tsai. . That was a great encouragement and affirmation. These two compositions later became the songs in "SHOW TIME" under the strict screening of more than 600 candidate songs by Aihui Records.
He said he was already very happy, even though it was not the title song. And I have to continue writing, not just actually singing it, but also writing a title song that everyone recognizes.
With a Golden Melody Award, four young people who are passionate about music forgot about pressure and chatted about good music for 100 days
"Mr. Zuo from Aihui Records knows that I am under a lot of pressure." Already. Luo Zhixiang, who has not been in a recording studio for three years, admitted that the standards and pressure he places on himself are very high, "So Mr. Zuo only asked me for one thing: no pressure."
Three productions are responsible for the production People, the biggest commonality between Adi Zai, Bi Guoyong, Guo Lianliang and Luo Zhixiang is that apart from being very young (it is music for young people), the biggest similarity is that they can forget to eat when they talk about music. Madman who forgets to sleep!
Under Luo Zhixiang’s high standards for himself and under the shining light of Adizai’s Golden Melody Award, how could four young people be so relaxed?
"So every time when we feel that we are working very hard, we will stop and chat for a while." Luo Zhixiang's eyes will sparkle when he thinks of those hard working years.
During those 100 days of pushing their dreams to the limit, they handed over the album master tape of "SHOW TIME" together! Mixed with the sweat and memories of four young musicians, the four people recall the days with bitterness and laughter...
·15-year-old Dancer
Two 24-year-old brothers , a dance performed by all Dance Soul partners
Luo Zhixiang, who became one of the members of the "Four Heavenly Kings" at the age of 16, actually entered the entertainment industry earlier. As early as the age of 15, he joined a dance troupe with his good friend Damu and became a professional dancer, accompanying the singers at the time. That was another kind of madness, a bunch of people HIGH together. I have to invent new dance steps every day to show off. In a group of people, you learn from me and I surpass you. This is something that transcends physical ability and limits.
Joining the "Four Heavenly Kings" and "Romeo", he has practiced a lot of skills.
My good friend Damu, who I danced with when I was 15 years old, is now the principal dancer and one of the owners of Dance Soul, the super artist’s royal dance company. At the age of 24, Luo Zhixiang and Damu, two good buddies, have joined forces again to lead the entire Dance Soul partners to dance together and show off the latest dazzling dance moves, which will definitely be refreshing and once again set off a competition among young people. Emerging classics imitated. Show Time 3
A SHOW TIME for 1.3 billion Chinese. He is ready!
Since his debut at the age of 15, Luo Zhixiang has experienced many performing roles in the past nine years. "If I don't continue to be impulsive, it will be a step back!" This is what Luo Zhixiang, 24 years old, who is actually still very young, said in a very relaxed interview, which made everyone feel the same. It turns out that he has always set such high standards for himself.
A talented little drummer, dancer, idol singer, and host of variety shows. Rather than spending time defining the identity of this all-around entertainer, we might as well say: he is an atmosphere maker. Just like this "SHOW TIME" album, although he spends a lot of time making music and studying dance steps, what he most concretely presents to everyone is a joyful atmosphere, a trend, and a new attitude, which is more real and sincere.
Luo Zhixiang, who has always been very popular and has many good friends, what he cares about most is not waiting for three years to release his beloved album and become a superstar.
What he wants to express most is that everyone is actually watching a stage in their own lives, and as long as you try your best and perform well in this life, it will be the most beautiful SHOW TIME!
