In the colorful entertainment industry, there are always some "little boiled eggs" that have attracted much attention, and when it comes to these "boiled eggs" artists, people may immediately think of Ge You in "Ge You Paralysis", Xu Zheng in "Extremely Smart", and Zhang Weijian, who is famous for his "beautiful man". So, do you also think of the "rock 'n' roll veteran" Zhou Xiaoou?
Zhou Xiaoou used to be the soul lead singer of the Zero Point Band, and once he opened his mouth, the entire ** world would tremble. He once introduced the band to the rock altar with the song "Love Me or Not", and the "halo" shining above his head was enviable.
In the nineties, China's long-quiet Moon Temple was ignited by the energetic and passionate rock **, a series of rock ** "giant crocodile" such as Dou Wei is known as the "rock fairy", the old wolf is the "father of folk songs", Zheng Jun represents the "British style" and so on.
These ** people are all the youthful memories of a generation.
However, when rock music was popular, Zhou Xiaoou announced his retirement from the music scene, resolutely switched to the field of film and television dramas, and became a little-known "little boiled egg".
When Zhou Xiaoou first stepped into the film and television industry, he was just an unknown newcomer, often playing the marginal roles of the little five and six. Many fans feel sorry for him, believing that he should not take on those important roles because he is not strong enough.
Some netizens spoke ill of him at the time, accusing him of "treachery" and "ruthlessness", and there were even rumors that he had broken the law and was imprisoned.
Despite all the pressure, Zhou Xiaoou is still undaunted to stick to his path, but there are still some who doubt that a rock star can make waves in the entertainment industry.
Did Zhou Xiaoou choose the wrong "road" and be willing to be a "transparent little braised egg" in the entertainment industry?
Zhou Xiaoou's father, known as the "man with a thousand faces of language", is a professional engaged in the dubbing industry, and he can come into contact with ** every day.
The mother was a state official, so their family was relatively wealthy. His father was extremely strict with Zhou Xiaoou, and personally supervised him in both his studies and life.
Zhou Xiaoou has had a strong interest in ** since he was a child, so his father always thinks that he should always be busy.
Therefore, even after completing his academic course, he had to use his spare time to take lessons on violin and trumpet instruments. Father Zhou has always been like this with the idea of "this is all for your good".
Zhou Xiaoou is a very obedient child, always finishing his homework early, waiting for his father to take him to ** class.
He is like what parents call "someone else's child". Under the praise of the teacher, his interest in ** became stronger and stronger, and his sense of musicality became stronger and stronger.
He grew up with ** during his childhood, until he began to become rebellious in middle school. It was at this stage that Zhou Xiaoou came into contact with rock music, and the always quiet boy seemed to be awakened by the "beast" in his heart.
However, Zhou's father was reluctant to expose his son to rock music. When he found out that Zhou Xiaoou was listening to this kind of **, he immediately became furious: "Did you take my words as a deaf ear?" With that, he tore the tape to shreds and threw it in the trash. Zhou Xiaoou was also enraged: "What qualifications do you have to not let me listen!" What's wrong with rock 'n' roll! I just love it! ”
Father Zhou trembled and pointed at Zhou Xiaoou, who was running away, and after speaking, he grabbed the door and walked out, "Rebel!" You should never come back! After staying in the same school for five days, Zhou Xiaoou was very stubborn, and at this moment was taken home by Zhou's father with his ears.
The conflict between father and son escalates, and it is strange that the more his parents oppose something, the more he insists on doing it. Unable to stand his father's restraints, he resolutely ran away from home and entered a martial arts school.
There, he met Wu Jing, who would become popular in the future, and the two met late and became good friends in the martial arts school. This also planted the seeds for him to get involved in the entertainment industry in the future.
Zhou Xiaoou was not afraid of hard work and spent several years in the martial arts school, but he never gave up his rock 'n' roll dream.
After graduating, he decided to embark on a wandering journey to collect the best materials from all over the world. He came to Inner Mongolia to experience the local customs, riding horses and running in the wind during the day, and listening to folk songs at night.
Zhou Xiaoou continued to go out to look for materials that day, and there was a burst of passionate ** in front of him, and the continuous rhythmic notes seemed to beat his heart, immersed in the rough national melody, Zhou Xiaoou couldn't help but stop and watch. A group of young people with long hair and fluttering hair are playing live**, each holding their own instrument.
When Zhou Xiaoou was immersed in **, an idea quietly germinated in his heart, so he took the initiative to get acquainted with these people. People who play ** will always have a common topic, and for a few days in Mongolia, they talk freely, drink and laugh at the same time. Taking advantage of the strength of the wine, Zhou Xiaoou said his inner thoughts.
Eh, guys, I don't know if I should say it, "Say it! Don't hesitate to do it! The four of them raised their arms and shouted, Top Gun, "If you are engaged in **, you should boldly pursue your dreams!" Let's just form a band and take the stage! Zhou Xiaoou stood up excitedly, "That's it!" Let's take the stage together! ”
At the wine table, the five of them came to a decision: they were going to form a band. This incident is deeply imprinted on everyone's heart.
The other four members unanimously elected Zhou Xiaoou as the lead singer of the band. Once the division of labor was settled, they began to discuss what to name the band: "What a domineering name should we choose?" ”
The Leopard Band's ** is full of momentum, and you can feel it as soon as you listen to it. The other four members of the group joked about the majestic animals in the zoo and talked endlessly.
But Wang Xiaoou looked thoughtful, and suddenly said: "I think we should keep a low profile and give an atmospheric name that contains the meaning of not forgetting the original intention." ”
A group of cattle and sheep walked by, making a string of pleasant bells "Jingle Jingling", Zhou Xiaoou suddenly clapped his hands, "That's right!" We're called the Zero Point Band! "Does that make any sense? The other four people asked blankly, "Everything starts from scratch, and what we are pursuing now is our original intention!" ”
The five young men clapped fists at each other and shouted "Band Zero!" together. Zero Band! ”。In this way, a pop-rock band emerged in Chinese mainland.
After two years of hard work, in 1996, the band released ** "Don't Get Wrong" and they began to make a name for themselves.
Zhou Xiaoou's performance of "Love Me or Not to Love Me" in the second year directly brought the band to the altar of the rock world, ranking first on the Chinese record sales chart, triggering a rock boom.
In the next few years, they successively released three albums**, including "Every Night Every Day", "More and More" and "Wind and Thunder".
However, once famous, people tend to be swayed by material gains. The other four members of the band Zero began to become more and more promiscuous, not only arrogant and rude to their fans, but also addicted to alcohol, which led to frequent cancellations of performances, as well as various scandals and even two teammates involved in legal problems.
Zhou Xiaoou felt very sad when he saw his former teammates become like this one by one. The contradictions between the five people are constantly intensifying, and even ordinary conversations are difficult to avoid conflicts. It's been a tough time to release these ** in the last 14 years, and despite the band's glamorous appearance, it's actually precarious.
In 2008, Zhou Xiaoou was already married and had children, so he couldn't continue to stick with the band, so he announced his withdrawal from the Zero Point Band.
Two teammates who broke the law have been sanctioned, and then the band Zero has announced its disbandment, so that the "Zero Band" lives up to its name and everything is back to square one.
Zhou Xiaoou has been accused of "ingratitude" and has been criticized by a large number of negative voices. Although affected, he still needs to continue to live, and he has not forgotten his dream of ** at the beginning of his retirement.
In order to make a living, in addition to filming, he also took on commercial acting. In his performances, he used the songs of the band Zero, thus earning a considerable income.
This made the teammates who had not yet left the band Zero feel jealous. So he sued Zhou Xiaoou in the name of the Zero Point Band, claiming that he used the name of the band for profit-making activities without permission, and demanded 5 million in compensation.
was sued by a former teammate in court, which made Zhou Xiaoou feel absolutely chilled, and it was difficult for anyone to accept. During that time, his sleep and diet were affected, and whenever he heard **, he would be brought back unpleasant memories.
Next week, Xiaoou completely stopped singing and began to play tricks. Due to his appearance and non-professional background, he can only take on some bad guys and marginal roles, which greatly limits his acting scope.
However, he never complains, but strives to delve into the character traits of each character and interpret the characters with his own unique understanding.
Wu Jing, as his childhood sweetheart, will naturally lend a hand, so Zhou Xiaoou received his **: Dude, I have a movie plan here, and I have arranged a role for you, and the role is very important, second only to the actor. Zhou Xiaoou listened with joy, and did not forget to express his gratitude to his good brother: "Thank you, I really owe you." ”
It wasn't until Zhou Xiaoou stepped into the crew that he realized that he was being killed"Fool", because his character was going to be shot in the head by Wu Jing.
It's really laughable to encounter such bad luck when you just started acting. Zhou Xiaoou played Ni Dahong's younger brother in "Wolf Warrior", but he encountered an old crime during filming.
In order to achieve the perfect effect, Zhou Xiaoou was willing to let his shiny head be installed by ** bags and blood bags many times, a total of 7 times, although he did not have many scenes in the role, he successfully left a deep impression on the audience.
He has created many classic roles on the screen with his bald head, such as Ma Daring played in "Longling Grotto", although he is a ** who kills people without hesitation, but he speaks in a dialect and with ruthlessness and nonsense, "use ideas and wisdom", and his excellent acting skills have won unanimous praise from the audience.
In the hit TV series "Sweeping the Black Storm", he played the role of gangster Chen Jianbo, and his performance stood out among many veteran actors, and the villain he played with comedy elements was particularly successful in getting him more attention. He once said: "Eating hot pot is for that mouthful of sweet garlic." ”
Now, 53-year-old Zhou Xiaoou has broken out of his career in the field of film and television dramas, but he still has that indelible dream in his heart.
He has participated in many singing programs, especially "I'm Young, I'm Young" with Zhang Bichen, his deep voice is magnetic and full of charm.
Zhou Xiaoou won the recognition of CCTV with his singing voice, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he could make the audience recall the time of the Zero Point Band. He only put aside ** for the time being, but did not abandon it, which also proves that the title of "rock 'n' roll veteran" is not groundless.
Zhou Xiaoou's current situation is actually much better than that of the rock bosses of the past, Dou Wei, as the "ceiling" figure in the rock industry, his songs such as "No Place to Shame", "Black Night", "Black Dream", "Advanced Animal", "Oh, Good" and other songs are each popular across the country.
His suave rogue style and quiet rock temperament are vividly displayed. Faye Wong was his suitor, and even quit the music scene for a while. He and Faye Wong went to the marriage hall and had a daughter Dou Jingtong, but the love between the two did not last long.
Faye Wong's career is in a booming stage, and the two are busy and have no time to care for each other. Dou Wei finally cheated, Faye Wong couldn't tolerate such a betrayal, and resolutely decided to divorce him. Subsequently, Faye Wong's reputation grew, and the voices that disagreed with Dou Wei gradually increased.
His situation is becoming more and more difficult, and no one wants to hire a singer with a bad reputation, although he has been very successful before.
Under the pressure of this environment, Dou Wei lost his vitality and charm back then, and now, he has become a balding middle-aged man. Recently, he finally had a chance to perform, and the audience couldn't wait for him to sing "Black Dream".
Dou Wei on the stage either played the piano or beat the drum, and did not say a word during the whole process. He played "The Golden Curse" for fifty minutes, leaving only the speechless Dou Wei and the dazed audience.
Perhaps Dou Wei's era has become a thing of the past, but the brilliance he created is immortal. Just like the old wolf, the "father of folk songs", the melody of folk songs evokes the beautiful youth of countless people. He became a popular campus song with "You at the Table".
He is very keen on creation, and his works such as "The Brother Who Sleeps on My Top Bunk", "Want to Sing Me to You", and "Love in the Dust" are all his immortal classics.
Although his songs are rarely listened to now, his influence cannot be underestimated, and he loves and pursues his ** in a unique way.
Zhou Xiaoou has spent his whole life in criticism, others think that he is not suitable for rock music, but he has reached the peak of the music scene and won the favor of countless fans.
Some people accuse him of poor acting, but he has achieved great success in the field of film and television dramas. Some people say that he forgot his original intention and abandoned **, but he proved himself to these people with his actions.
Be brave to try, bold to practice, dare to conceive, devote yourself to the cause you love, and shine wherever you are, because "gold will eventually shine".
