I always thought that everyone said so politely.But 33 years later, when I sang this song again, the audience had changed a generation, but everyone said that listening to this song is still full of passion.This reminds me of some of my experiences: I have a friend in a foreign country that runs the marathon. I once participated in the marathon and couldn't run in the last 30 minutes. I suddenly remembered the song of Asia.His spiritual power has been persisted; there is another experience that the heads of three different countries sang "We Asia ..." I was present at the time, and it was very touching.Crossing the mountains and the sea and spanning everything, but each impact is positive, positive, and can bring people's strength, which also moved me very much.
Beijing News: This reappearance, many netizens said that "the older generation of singers have a strong business ability". What response do you have?
Wei Wei: This is the need for the times.At that time, the professionalism had the right to speak. Music experts controlled the market. At that time, they supported the music of national singing. Because it was generally believed that popular songs were not technical, and the audience may feel that popular songs were not excited, so popular songs had no status at the time.At that time, everyone was constantly breaking through. They were "better than the ability". In terms of modern network buzzwords, it was "too rolled", and it was to break through ourselves.Works of spiritual resonance.
I have always wanted to sing pop songs, and I also want pop songs to enter the mainstream market, so when the love of cooperating with Guo Feng, it is very shocking in the music circle. This song exceeds two octaves.There are many difficulties in span and singing technology, and it is also the same as popular music that everyone thinks.However, the achievements of this song are very good. For the first time in China, there are popular songs in the mainstream market, and they have also won the gold award internationally.We are the pioneering generation, and we must have strength to survive.I have always believed in doing what I like. If you do it, you will be able to do it well.
