Since Dou Wei quit the Black Panther, anyone who wants to replace him will be scolded for being incomplete.
Zhang Qi is no exception, he joined Black Panther as the lead singer in 2013, and with his own efforts, he has brought new life to this "living fossil" band.
But in the eyes of music fans, he is still far inferior to Dou Wei, and even thinks that he ruined the band.
After enduring 10 years of abuse, Zhang Qi left the Black Panthers.
Recently, Zhang Qi, who participated in Hunan Satellite TV's "The Sound of Life 3", announced his return with a song "Proud Boy".
This performance amazed all the audience, and that rock boy is back!
One
Born in 1981, Zhang Qi has been interested in art since he was a child. He is good at playing the trumpet and was admitted to the Silver Sail Art Troupe.
At that time, Michael Jackson's dance was popular all over the world, and Zhang Qi was not surprised to like dancing.
He has been practicing dance for three years in junior high school, but because of an ankle injury, he had to reluctantly cut his love and turned to singing and writing.
At the age of 16, he played the guitar well and began singing in bars.
At that time, the development of rock music was in full swing, and Zhang Qi also started a band with a few friends, and also wrote soundtracks for films directed by Lu Chuan.
Although he signed a record company at the age of 21 and became a professional singer, Zhang Qi's career has not been good.
In 2007, in that hot summer, he participated in "Happy Boys", but failed in the top ten in the Xi'an Division.
A series of setbacks made Zhang Qi's ** road extremely difficult.
But Zhang Qi was not discouraged, and there was no opportunity to be a dignitary in front of the stage, so he worked on production behind the scenes, waiting for God's favor.
II
In 2012, the opportunity finally came. Li Tong, the guitarist of the Black Panthers, invited Zhang Qi to participate in the recording of the new ** "Who Are We".
Zhang Qi was very excited about the invitation of his idol rock predecessors, he was very enthusiastic, and his talent was recognized by Big Brother.
In 2013, the Black Panther officially announced:Zhang Qi officially joined the band and became the band's tenth lead singer.
After the news came out, many people wondered: Who is Zhang Qi?
Anyone who plays the lead singer in the Black Panthers will be subjected to extremely harsh scrutiny and questioning from the outside world.
Zhang Qi, who has been engaged in the background for many years, has almost no works that he can handle, so this kind of questioning and ridicule is even more overwhelming.
But Zhang Qi was unmoved, he hoped that he could play a role in making this torch that had been silent for many years burn again.
In 2017, "True Colors** was released, and Zhang Qi undertook most of the songwriting, proving his talent.
Objectively speaking, Zhang Qi has given this "Black Panther" his own characteristics.
But the imprint left by Dou Wei is too deep, and it is too difficult for latecomers to jump out of his shackles.
Therefore, no matter how hard Zhang Qi tries, the outside world will never see it.
Three
In 2021, Zhang Qi participated in the popular variety show "Brother Who Fights Through Thorns". The staff said to him: You are the least popular of all the brothers.
In the first scene, Zhang Qi sang the classic song "Don't Come to Entangle Me" by the Black Panthers. When he ceased to be the lead singer of the Black Panthers, his strength was finally recognized by the public.
The second public competition, the song "Wukong" that amazed everyone, is even more"When the stick is struck, everything is in ruins."
On this long-lost stage, he finally received applause and cheers, which also laid the groundwork for his later departure.
This year, Black Panther's official Weibo released an announcement of "lead singer recruitment", indicating Zhang Qi's official withdrawal.
For a time, aboutHe was drifting and ungratefulRumors are endless.
In response to these rumors, Zhang Qi did not make any clarifications.
He is 42 years old, at the fork in the road of life, he neither chooses left nor right, he just follows his inner pursuit.
When singing the song "Proud Boy", although he is no longer young, Zhang Qi sang the young man's high-spirited and resolute determination regardless of the future to the fullest.
It seems to confirm that sentence:After running away for half a life, he is still a teenager when he returns!
And Song Yaxuan, who partnered with him, was crushed and there was not even scum left.
The reason why Zhang Qi can not be disturbed by the outside world and concentrate on being a ** is also inseparable from the support of his wife Wei Jia.
The two met in Weimo, but they never gave up, leaned on each other, and finally waited for the spring to bloom.
Zhang Qi has had long hair for decades and has never changed.
He said:Because his wife likes it, he has never been to the barber shop for so many years, and his hair is taken care of by his wife.
In the chaotic rock circle, rock singers like Zhang Qi who don't touch flour and don't engage in scandals are really scarce.
Maybe it's these qualities that can make him accumulate and become popular after many years!How can such a Zhang Qi not be loved?
