Chapter 210 209. I am depressed! Are you mentally ill? (Please subscribe and support!)
The Baojiajie Band in another world is also an important role in the history of rock music development! Not only because its band members are all top students from the Central Conservatory of Music.
Moreover, after the band disbanded, everyone was still very active in the rock music field, and the lead singer Piku became the rock star of the Chinese music scene, and was said to occupy half of the Chinese rock music scene! Among the works of Bao Jiajie, Wang Qian's favorite is this song.
Good night, BJ.
Because this song is too heavy and depressing, even a bit neurotic, and for some unspeakable reasons, it was not very popular, and almost no singers covered it later.
However, this song is highly praised by many professional musicians in the Chinese music scene.
It was rated as the most classic and thought-provoking song of Baojia Street and Leather Pants.
When Ru Ke listened to this song, she felt as if she was being restrained and struggling as if ropes were tied around her body, making her unable to move.
The accompaniment of each instrument is like a giant with weapons, closing in step by step, making one's living space smaller and smaller.
So depressing! So depressed! So struggling! Even...
Ru Ke felt that she was going crazy.
His eyes turned to Wang Qian who was singing on the stage.
It was as if I was looking at a madman.
The song pierces everyone's heart like a knife.
It was like the ravings of a madman, yet it was impossible to defend against it and it went straight into one's soul.
"The wind will go north with the sound of the midnight bell."
"Take the boy who begs in the street."
"With a broken tire on the side of the road."
"Follow the sound of the midnight bell and go north."
Then, after the struggle.
Once again, it was a gentle chant like a sigh.
"Goodnight, BJ!"
Then, the voice rose again.
"Good night, all those who are awake."
"Goodnight, BJ."
"Goodnight, all you lonely people..."
The end of a paragraph.
Wang Qian's expression on the stage seemed like he was autistic, which made everyone who saw him feel nervous and distressed.
Another tense and depressing accompaniment came.
When everyone at the scene heard this, they couldn't help but clench their hands, looking very nervous. They stared at Wang Qian with their eyes fixed, and many negative emotions appeared in their hearts.
This is the main theme of the song.
It makes everyone who hears it depressed, suppressed, and crazy!
Wang Qian successfully achieved this.
No one spoke! No one made a sound.
Almost everyone is trapped in the repressive madness of their own inner world.
Wang Qian's singing roared out again.
“I’ve had many sleepless nights.”
“Falling into the dreamy space of the city.”
"Falling into the hole of self-imitation."
"Lost sleep on the brink of madness..."
There was another soft sigh.
"Goodnight, BJ."
"Good night, all those who are awake."
"Goodnight, BJ."
"Goodnight, all you lonely people..."
The whole place remained quiet.
Even many viewers in front of the TV were silent at this moment, feeling depressed by the song and falling into some negative emotions.
At this moment, on the stage, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Zhao Wei and He Fulin performed a long instrumental performance, and everyone had their own space to perform.
Zhao Wei and He Fulin both performed at their best.
Murong Yue and Jiang Yu both had heavy expressions and were very involved. Every time they pressed the keyboard and swung the drumsticks, they seemed to be using all their strength, as if only in this way could they break free from the shackles.
Depression is the main theme here.
The screaming and crazy words of the madman continued.
"I'm getting more and more tired."
"Listening to the sobbing of the violin next door."
"Drinking the broth boiled by the world."
"I am getting more and more tired."
"Good night..., BJ..."
"Good night, all those who are awake."
"Goodnight, BJ..."
"Goodnight, all you lonely people..."
This section of lyrics was deleted when Piku and Baojiajie sang it again later, because the emotions expressed in it are the heaviest.
Wang Qian now sings it in full.
The song's struggle, depression, madness and even neurotic negative emotions are all clearly expressed.
Every word, every phrase, and every sentence seems like the ravings of a madman in a dream, and the rich emotions contained in them fill the hearts of every listener.
Let it be depressed!
Wang Qian walked back and forth on the stage holding a microphone boom, and every step seemed to be testing the edge of madness.
The accompaniment music becomes increasingly high-pitched, tense, and gripping, just like watching the most thrilling scene in a suspense horror movie.
This paragraph.
The strength of the four-member accompaniment group of Wang Qian's band was fully demonstrated.
Let every audience in front of the TV and on the scene clearly see that the four people behind Wang Qian are all powerful talents that cannot be ignored.
Jiang Yu and Murong Yue are both talented figures of the younger generation in the music industry. Even if they are slightly inferior to Chen Xiaowen, Ru Ke, Liu Shengnan and others, they are also top talents second only to them, and they are also extremely outstanding in the Central Conservatory of Music and Berklee.
Zhao Wei and He Fulin are both veterans in the Chinese rock circle. They were the main instruments of famous bands back then. Even after the band disbanded, they did not give up and continued to wander around the Chinese music scene, serving as accompaniment for others. Although their strength has not improved much, their performance is still stable and they are experienced, and they can remain steady at all times.
Many singers and stars in the Chinese music scene in the audience have worked with these two people.
At this moment, many people saw their strength more clearly.
Wang Qian’s success may not only be the result of his own efforts, but also the efforts of the four people behind him.
Pieces of rapid and heavy music hit everyone's heart.
Wang Qian walked back and forth on the stage holding the microphone, as if he couldn't help but move around anxiously. He picked up the microphone again and sang softly: "Good night, BJ!"
"Good night, all those who are awake."
"Goodnight, all you lonely people..."
He put the microphone down again and paced back and forth with his hand still in his hand.
No one knows what he is doing.
because.
At this moment, he seemed like a mentally ill madman, wandering there and speaking crazy words.
"Goodnight, BJ..."
"Good night, all those who are still awake..."
A series of depressing and compact rhythms push up.
Wang Qian suddenly picked up the microphone and yelled to the sky: "Ah......"
The voice was hoarse, but with a hint of crazy struggle and venting.
Many people in the audience were shocked.
Yu Jingruo suddenly burst into tears, covering her mouth, tears streaming down her face. She looked at Wang Qian with hazy eyes, her heart filled with twitching heartache.
She couldn't bear to see Wang Qian like this! Li Qingyao also clenched her hands.
If possible.
She really wanted to give Wang Qian a hug, comfort him, and give him everything she had, as long as she could heal the trauma in his heart! Unfortunately, she knew that she might not have the chance in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Qingyao also shed a few tears.
Qin Xuehong and Liu Shengnan also had worried expressions on their faces, but Qin Xuehong's worry was clearly written on his face.
Liu Shengnan, on the other hand, had a calm expression, her eyes full of concentration and worry. She thought she understood Wang Qian's music philosophy very well, and she could always appreciate Wang Qian's music with her heart, so at this moment she also fell into some kind of crazy neurosis, and could personally understand Wang Qian's current state, and she was very worried and a little distressed.
If possible, Liu Shengnan would like to bear all of this on behalf of Wang Qian.
Chen Xiaowen also remained silent, but her eyes revealed concern.
Yao Ran beside her was frightened by the voice and patted her chest, her face a little pale! She was just immersed in the song and recalled her past.
She is a typical migrant worker in Beijing. She has put in a lot of effort and paid a lot of price to get to where she is today. Every day when she is alone, she feels anxious and depressed.
She felt as if this song was about herself...
Sisters Xu Xiaoxiao and Xu Wenwen held each other's hands tightly. They could feel the sweat in each other's palms and the worry in each other's hearts. They stared at Wang Qian without blinking.
After Wang Qian roared this way, it seemed as if he had vented all the suppressed and struggling emotions in his heart.
Following that, Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Zhao Wei, and He Fulin once again pushed the music to a tense climax, just like Wang Qian's catharsis just now.
Then, it slowly slows down, gradually breaking away from the tense and story-filled atmosphere that had been created before.
Wang Qian sang softly, as if whispering: "Good night...BJ..."
"Good night, all those who are awake."
"Goodnight...to all the lonely people..."
The music became tense again.
Wang Qian's singing followed suit: "Good night, BJ."
"Good night, all those who are awake."
It became high-pitched and hoarse again.
"Goodnight...to all the lonely ones..."
Amid the hoarse and restless music, Wang Qian dragged out a long tail note.
"people……"
Finally, it ends with a manic music...
Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Zhao Wei and He Fulin were all playing their instruments crazily, completely immersed in the emotion and artistic conception of the song.
When the last paragraph ends.
The whole place was still silent.
Everyone is still immersed in the mood of the song, which is about struggling, depression and some neurosis.
There was a heavy expression on everyone's face, and some of the audience even looked a little ferocious.
The song is over.
Wang Qian also quickly recovered from the performance of the song. He stood in the center of the stage with his hands behind his back and at ease, looking at the tens of thousands of densely packed audiences below the stage.
Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, He Fulin, and Zhao Wei also walked over from beside the musical instruments, stood behind Wang Qian, formed a group, and looked at the tens of thousands of audiences below the stage together.
The scene was silent for almost a minute! Zhou Qinghua, the program director, was stunned for a moment, thinking of his life in Beijing, and then he quickly came to his senses. However, he did not immediately direct the program team to take action. Instead, he waited for a while and directed the camera to capture the collective silence of tens of thousands of people at the scene and presented it to all the viewers in front of the TV.
He Dongming also quickly reported: "The ratings continue to rise steadily and have reached 18.25. The publicity department is still taking action. Hopefully, during the peak period of the third show, the ratings will reach 20 points!"
Zhou Qinghua and several other members of the program team all laughed.
As long as you succeed, then the current efforts will be worth it.
When the one minute is up.
Zhou Qinghua immediately took the microphone and said, "Daji, come on stage, the atmosphere group, stand up and applaud!"
Action was taken immediately on the scene.
The host Daji walked out from the backstage with a heavy expression on his face, but he forced a smile and quickly adjusted his emotions and mood. When he walked behind Wang Qian, his face was already filled with a passionate smile.
Then, dozens of atmosphere crew members in the audience immediately stood up and applauded loudly.
The applause awakened all the dazed audience members!
It also caused many audience members who had woken up but remained silent to start applauding.
applause!
It sounded like thunder.
Daji also came to Wang Qian while clapping.
Wang Qian smiled slightly, and bowed to the audience with Jiang Yu, Murong Yue and the other two, then said softly into the microphone: "Thank you, thank you for your applause. This song is dedicated to all the friends who are struggling in the big cities. If there is hope for success, please work harder. But if there is no possibility of success, and you are just living a numb life there, I suggest you go home!"
"I was also one of those people who drifted to Beijing back then. Although I didn't have a deep experience of the situation for a long time, I did experience the numbness, struggle, depression, and the huge pressure of insomnia from other people!"
“If you can choose a more relaxed lifestyle, then why not go for it?”
Wang Qian's voice reached everyone's ears amid the applause.
The applause did not stop, but became louder.
Many viewers in front of the TV also clapped their hands softly.
This...
This speaks to the hearts of many workers in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
In this megacity with a population of over 10 million, how many people are under tremendous pressure every day, but can only repeat the monotonous life and work without hope and change day after day? Only a few people are successful, and the vast majority of others are just floating here, and will never have the possibility of taking root.
Depressed!
struggle!
Melancholy!
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Insomnia!
This is the true portrayal of many young people today.
If you don't have some mental illness such as depression or insomnia, you should be embarrassed to call yourself a worker.
If this song was released in the 1990s, most people probably wouldn't have had any personal experience or sense of connection. Because at that time, people didn't think about these things, they were still working hard to have enough food to eat, and without more demands, there would be no more pressure and struggle.
However, when this song was sung for the first time in the new era, almost all people working and living in society could truly feel the negative emotions in the song.
Papapapapa…
The applause continues.
The four mentors also continued to applaud.
The five people from Baojia Street in the lounge also applauded.
Yang Zixuan also agreed and said: "When I graduated, I almost went to Beijing, but after seeing the living conditions of a senior sister, I decisively went home to find a job. I worked so hard and endured so much hardship, but there was no possibility of success. What was I looking for? Then I went home to be a freelancer, the income was not bad, and I could be free!"
Yan Ru, Xiong Jia, and Zhu Qiqi all nodded. It was the same for all three of them. After the band disbanded, they all returned to their hometown to find work and live. Zhu Qiqi even got married and had children.
They have dreams, but they don't have the idea of making things difficult for themselves or making their lives hard.
Many people use so-called dreams to numb themselves and are unwilling to face reality.
The five people from Baojia Street did not give up their dreams, nor did they give up reality.
Ru Ke said softly, "Professor Wang's song is so heavy and so real."
Several people nodded in agreement! After hearing this, they were still in shock.
The applause lasted for about a full minute before it slowly stopped due to the atmosphere adjustment.
The host Daji said, "This song makes me feel so heavy that I dare not listen to it. Professor Wang, how did you come up with the idea of writing such a heavy song?"
Wang Qian replied softly: "There is no reason. I just saw the living conditions of many friends and wanted to write something, so I wrote it."
All right!
Simple and casual.
When I think of it, I write it down.
If someone else said this, everyone would probably think that he was showing off.
However, when everyone saw Wang Qian say this, they felt that he was not pretending, and was even very low-key and true to his nature.
It’s just that excellent!
Daji smiled awkwardly, then looked at the four instructors who were sitting in their chairs with heavy faces, and said loudly: "Okay, now please ask the four instructors to give Professor Wang a score and evaluation of this song. I think the four instructors may have a lot to say."
The four mentors all looked thoughtful, and it was obvious that they all wanted to say something.
Ladies first.
It was still Wang Jingyu who spoke first.
Wang Jingyu's expression is very serious, and her eyes are full of memories. From this, we can see that she is an old singer who is almost fifty years old.
Wang Jingyu then showed a bitter smile, looked at Wang Qian and said: "This is the first time I have heard such heavy thoughts about human nature and life in a Chinese rock song. I think I am a cheerful and optimistic person. However, after listening to your song, Wang Qian, I realized that I also have a lot of negative emotions, but I have always suppressed them in my heart and never exploded."
"This time, after listening to your Goodnight BJ, I was directly depressed. Last time I listened to your Because of Love and When You Are Old, I cried my eyes out. This time, after listening to your Goodnight BJ, I was depressed."
"Wang Qian, you owe me a lot!"
Wang Jingyu looked at Wang Qian and said this very seriously, as if Wang Qian really owed her a lot.
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Okay, Sister Jingyu, I will pay it back when I have the chance. I hope you can live a happier life."
Wang Jingyu nodded: "Well, I will try to live a happy life in the future. Thank you for this song that released the negative emotions that I have suppressed for many years. I think I will cry again when I go back to calm down."
Wang Qian apologized: "Sorry, it's my fault."
Wang Jingyu waved her hand: "You are right. This rock song of yours is the heaviest Chinese rock song I have ever heard. And the soundtrack is also the most rhythmic and storytelling accompaniment I have ever heard. This music can be used as background music in a suspense film. Every performance can mobilize my emotions. Your singing is also perfect and impeccable, especially in terms of emotional expression, which is simply the world's top level. So, I give you 99 points!"
Wang Qian smiled: "Thank you, Sister Yu!"
After Wang Jingyu finished speaking, she leaned back in her chair, her face still serious and her eyes filled with extremely complicated emotions. It was obvious that what she said was true, her mood was indeed very complicated.
Then.
Qin Han did not try to be funny, but crossed his hands in front of him, supporting his head, and looked at Wang Qian with slightly sad eyes: "Wang Qian, have you seen a psychiatrist?"
Wang Qian shook his head: "No!"
Qin Han said seriously: "Then I suggest you go and see a doctor. I suspect you may have some mental illness. You wrote too heavy words in this song, and you performed it too perfectly when you sang it. I can't help but suspect that you may be a little mentally ill..."
There was some laughter.
So, Brother Han, it’s still you.
If you don't cause trouble, you're not you...
However, Qin Han still said seriously: "Don't laugh, I'm telling the truth."
Wang Qian also laughed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Han, but I should be fine. The state just now was just a way for me to express my emotions in the song. I'm fine!"
Qin Han still asked seriously: "Are you sure?"
Wang Qian nodded and answered affirmatively: "Yes, I am sure."
Qin Han seemed to be slightly relieved, then nodded and smiled, saying, "That's good. Your song is excellent in expression and humanistic thinking. It's no exaggeration to say that it's one of the best works in this regard. You can even say that this is a profound modern poem. If you take out these four parts of the lyrics, you can actually publish it as a modern poem, and it's a good poem!"
Wang Qian knew that this was indeed the case.
If the lyrics of this song "Goodnight BJ" were published as a modern poem, it would definitely be an excellent modern poetry work.
Moreover, many classic songs have this feature.
The melody is catchy and the lyrics are as beautiful and profound as poetry.
Qin Han continued, "I can't find any fault with you either. Like Jingyu, I give you 99 points. In fact, I still suggest that you wait until the show is over and go see a senior private psychiatrist. Usually, mentally ill people think that there is nothing wrong with them, but in fact, they may have a big problem..."
Laughter broke out again.
Wang Qian also smiled and said, "So, Brother Han, do you think you have mental problems?"
Qin Han immediately said affirmatively: "Of course there is no problem!"
Wang Qian had a look of astonishment: "So... this is the problem!"
Qin Han laughed, then burst into laughter, clapped his hands vigorously at Wang Qian, and said nothing.
There were also laughters everywhere.
Everyone knew that Qin Han was just joking.
The host Daji laughed and said, "Brother Han is still as humorous as ever. What does Brother Hua want to say next?"
Liu Junhua crossed his arms, with a thoughtful expression, and looked at Wang Qian deeply. He said in a deep voice: "I want to say that young people today may not be suitable to listen to Wang Qian's song. It is too depressing and heavy, and Wang Qian's singing is too perfect. Everyone who listens to it will be involved, and it will make everyone feel heavy and depressed."
"Of course, this is not a shortcoming, but because the song was written so well and Wang Qian sang so well."
"So, I give it 99 points, impeccable. Even though I don't really like rock music, I really like this song."
Generally speaking, professional musicians like this kind of songs that are meaningful and thoughtful, and have high-quality music.
Wang Qian smiled at Liu Junhua: "Thank you, Brother Hua!"
Liu Junhua nodded without saying anything, obviously still feeling a little heavy.
Finally, Cui Wenfeng raised his hand and said, "I have to give this song full marks, 100 points! If Wang Qian's shame represents the ultimate impact of Chinese rock music, then this song represents another extreme of Chinese rock music's thinking and criticism of society."
"These are what rock fans pursue. Even in my era, it is a rare classic rock work. Moreover, Wang Qian's singing is really perfect. He performed this song perfectly, which made many people depressed like Jing Yu. I almost got depressed too."
“So, this is a depressive rock song!”
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Feng!"
Cui Wenfeng nodded and said regretfully: "It's a pity that you were not born thirty years earlier."
Wang Qian still smiled: "It's not too late now."
Cui Wenfeng said it was a pity that Wang Qian was not born in the peak era of Chinese rock, because he would have definitely become one of the representatives of rock figures at that time, and would have even further promoted the development of Chinese rock, making the peak era at that time burst into even brighter glory.
But Wang Qian felt that the true peak of Chinese rock had not yet arrived! Because when he was not there, it was not the true peak.
He is here.
The real peak era will come.
Cui Wenfeng smiled and said nothing more.
The final scores are out!
Three 99s and one perfect score of 100! Wang Qian's average score in his major was as high as 99.25, close to the perfect score, 0.75 higher than Bi Ru Ke's 98.5!
The host said excitedly, "Well, Professor Wang's final score is out. His professional score is as high as 99.25, almost close to full marks! It's incredible."
Wang Qian once again bowed gently to the four mentors to express his gratitude.
This score is very high.
The host continued, "Now, in the second performance, Professor Wang's professional score has surpassed Ru Ke's. Next, we will look at the voting results of both parties. Please ask the staff of the notary office to bring up the voting results..."
Amidst everyone's anticipation.
The uniformed lady from the notary office trotted up and handed the envelope with the result to the host. Then, instead of going down immediately, she whispered, "Can I take a photo with Professor Wang?"
After saying that, the girl in uniform blushed and lowered her head.
The host Daji smiled and said, "Are you a fan of Professor Wang?"
The young lady nodded: "Yes, I am a fan of Professor Wang and I like every one of his works."
Wang Qian waved his hand and agreed: "Of course, come over!"
The young lady immediately looked up and smiled. Facing the tens of thousands of audiences and more than a dozen cameras, she mustered up the courage to come to Wang Qian's side, made a very common scissors hand gesture in front of the camera, and then immediately said thank you to Wang Qian. She then bowed to the audience to apologize for taking up everyone's time, and then quickly trotted off the stage.
This little episode made the atmosphere on the scene less tense.
Many people looked at the young lady with a little envy.
In such a high-profile occasion, I was able to take a photo with Wang Qian and appear in front of hundreds of millions of viewers across the country.
This is what many fans of Wang Qian want.
but.
At this moment, many people looked at the envelope in the host Daji's hand with more anticipation! The result of this performance will not affect the appearance of the third performance.
Because the format of the finals requires two wins to get the final victory.
In other words, one win and one draw is not the end. The winner needs to win the third game to be considered the final winner.
Although this competition system is considered to be a stupid one by many people, it still has more supporters.
Because, this way you can watch one more show! If we follow the semi-final format, unless each team has one win and one loss, then one win and one draw will be the winner and there will be no third game.
In this finals, if after three games, both sides have one win, one loss and one draw, it will still be a draw, and the program team will continue to play a fourth game, and the fourth game will be the one that decides the outcome!
so……
The program team does this to increase the topicality and increase the operability of the program length.
Of course, this would be very imprecise.
Not many people care about it anymore.
Because, whether it is the performance by Baojiajie or the performance by Professor Wang Qian, they are all performances that cannot be missed. If they can see one more show, they will not leave the TV.
Who wouldn't want to see one more of their shows?
Everyone wants to.
Including the big names in the circle who were present at the scene, everyone wanted the performance to last longer.
Not only people in the industry want to listen to Wang Qian and Bao Jiajie's performances, but also because they can have more topics to attract attention.
After all, the people in the industry who come to listen to the songs live and really come to listen to the songs and watch the performances are a very small minority. The vast majority of them are there to take advantage of the popularity and attract popular fans.
So, no one would object to both sides singing a few more songs.
Offstage, Qin Xuehong asked Liu Shengnan nervously, "Shengnan, do you think Wang Qian will win if he gets enough votes?"
Liu Shengnan nodded: "Of course! This song is almost impeccable in the field of Chinese rock. It may not be as popular and well-known as Professor Wang's "Shameless", but it surpasses "Shameless" in terms of deep thinking. That's why Brother Feng said that these two songs are representative works of two extremes."
"Bao Jiajie's work just now was also very good, but it was still slightly inferior to Professor Wang's work. So, they lost, but it was not unfair! Let's wait and see the third round!"
The worry on Qin Xuehong's face was much less, and he nodded and said, "That's good!"
She still has great faith in Liu Shengnan's understanding and judgment of music.
In the lounge, several people from Baojia Street were watching the TV screen with some nervousness and anticipation.
The host Daji also opened the envelope nervously.

Thank you everyone.
