He changed the landscape of Chinese rock music and asked the diva to pour a night pot for him. Although his life is extraordinary, he has experienced many ups and downs and twists and turns. This is - Dou Wei.
His maverick appearance, what we loved, but what has become of him now?
Someone once joked that Dou Wei has been"Achieve positive results"。
We want to know what caused this "rock fairy" to fall out of favor in the end
Dou Wei was born with ** cells, and he is considered the darling of God because he has obtained ** talents that are different from ordinary people. Since he was a child, he studied Xi with his father, a senior wind musician, and laid a solid foundation.
The family often has **various records and** videotapes, because my mother is an audiophile with a passion for opera and abroad**.
In such a special growth environment, the young Dou Wei was fortunate to "grow up eating dew", and he had heard and seen countless classic music since he was a child, so he had a soft spot for **.
When Dou Wei was 6 years old, he appeared on the stage for the first time and played a simple and simple bamboo flute solo. The audience was even faintly worried about whether he could play it completely, because the thin little boy and the bamboo flute were almost taller than him.
However, when the piece ended, there was thunderous applause from the audience. Dou Wei's ** career began here.
Since then, he has been fascinated by the world and has become increasingly interested in the potential of various instrumental music and singing.
In order to cultivate their son's talent, Dou Wei's parents even gave up their stable job and ran around to participate in ** training classes and talent shows, looking for first-line stars and professional mentors to guide Dou Wei.
At the age of 18, Dou Wei was successfully admitted to Beijing's most prestigious youth light ** troupe with his outstanding professional results, and began his official band career.
Opportunities to perform are constantly popping up all over Beijing, and the remuneration is lucrative, and Dou Wei is happy to devote himself to the cause he loves. What makes him even happier is being able to live independently and with like-minded bandmates.
Although the cold winter and scorching heat in Beijing make it difficult to adapt, Dou Wei still feels that this is the life he has always dreamed of.
He has a taste of love and friendship for the first time, has an optimistic temperament, has few worries, does not care about future development and fame, and just wants to go with the flow, be at peace with what happens, and enjoy the happiness and freedom in front of him.
At that time, it was hard for Dou Wei to believe that God was about to open the door to a future for him - in the era of information blockage, the organizers chose the still unknown Dou Wei with magical intuition and insight to become the new lead singer of the Black Panthers, all this is unimaginable!
Soon after the 21-year-old Dou Wei joined the Black Panther Band, he quickly became famous in 1989 with the song "No Land to Shame", which shocked both home and abroad. This passionate and tragic rock song depicts the loneliness and alienation deep in the hearts of the post-80s youth.
China is going through a period of rapid development of reform and opening up, and the social status and class differentiation are becoming increasingly serious.
The young post-80s generation feels bleak about themselves and the future of the country, because fairness and justice are not reflected, and there are a lot of livelihood problems and inner anxiety.
The drift that our generation has endured is so heavy;The loss experienced by our generation is so great ......Dou Wei's unique voice blends sadness and pride, and the lyrics point directly to social reality, profoundly expressing the true cry of young people's hearts and conveying the collective voice of young people in that era.
Once this song came out, it swept across the country like a flood, and many young people born in the 80s knelt down under the talent of Dou Wei, the prince of rock and roll.
Since then, the Black Panther's record sales have increased significantly, and the "Dou Wei whirlwind" boom has been set off in the domestic music scene.
However, despite the great effort he put in on **, this did not bring Dou Wei the noble status and luxury honor he longed for. As the lead singer, he does not enjoy the same generous dividend treatment as the songwriter.
Dou Wei's income is only enough to fill his stomach and pay the rent of his humble basement **, while other members are buying properties and cars to improve their lives.
He is unwilling to rely on his family and has no intention of finding a girlfriend to supplement his living expenses, so he can only barely support himself by doing odd jobs.
Dou Wei was not overwhelmed by such a cold day, but developed a strong interest in creating comedy**, and he drew many light-hearted and humorous plots from his own life experience.
In the next few years, almost every ** of the Black Panthers was created by Dou Wei independently. The singer's talent was brought to full play.
The Black Panthers have been a source of success, and they have become the top rock idol group in mainland China. However, as the core figure of the band, Dou Wei's income and popularity are far less than those of other members.
In 1994, this unjust reality and growing internal ** finally led him to decide to quit the band. This genius created all the Black Panther classics.
His talent is unparalleled. However, Heaven does not always favor those who are considered to be the pride of heaven.
Can Dou Wei achieve the pinnacle again without the protection of the Black Panther?
Dou Wei launched his personal ** "Black Dream" in 1994, when he was 28 years old. Once again, his prowess was confirmed by the thick metal style of rock.
The vast space of the Chinese music scene seems to be unable to accommodate the second Dou Wei. However, in the following years, Dou Wei's personal development did not reach the state he expected.
He made repeated attempts to form new bands, but they all failed;Many well-created works were left out in the cold, causing him to fall into trouble on the ** road.
Dou Wei was almost crushed by the experience of this low period, and he tried to escape the pain of failure through alcoholism and indulgence. At the lowest point of his life, the god of fate favored him again.
In 1994, Dou Wei, together with Zhang Chu and **, was known as the "Three Heroes of Magic Rock" and jointly held a sensational concert at the Hung Hom Stadium at home and abroad.
The trio put on a wonderful performance in a crowded environment, undoubtedly creating a new style of domestic rock music.
That night, Dou Wei's solo performance of the classic song "Farewell Kangqiao" made countless boys and girls intoxicated to the point of almost suffocation.
He wore a well-tailored black suit, and played the bamboo flute calmly and elegantly.
That handsome, suave young man was nothing like the rebellious and wild Black Panthers lead singer I remember, but no less impressive – he was Dou Wei, the changeable god of rock and roll, who could easily switch between styles.
The charm of the display is unreserved, and that's why.
Dou Wei soon unexpectedly won a deeply admired suitor - the high-profile singer Faye Wong. Faye Wong's personality has some pungent qualities, she never hides her infatuation with Dou Wei, and always takes the initiative to show extreme care and flattery.
However, in the depths of Dou Wei's heart, there is still another woman he can't give up - Jiang Xin. Jiang Xin is Dou Wei's first love, they met when Dou Wei was 19 years old, and Jiang Xin was only a sophomore in college at that time.
In order to follow her sweetheart, she gave up her studies and ran around performing with Dou Wei.
She has always been the companion of Dou Wei in the life of the band. She is Dou Wei's most loyal listener and a music critic, and she knows all his songs well. Her advice led to the improvement of several of the Black Panther's songs, which became classics.
It can be said that she was the most important supporter in the early stages of his career. They have agreed to get married and plan a bright future together.
However, Faye Wong, the new lady, quickly disrupted their originally beautiful plan. They have been fighting fiercely for 5 years, and the goal is Dou Wei's sincerity.
As a loyal person, Jiang Xin can be said to have put in a lot of effort. She gave up her career forever and followed Dou Wei around.
Faye Wong tried her best to show favor to Dou Wei, showing her charm and determination to do whatever it takes to love, making it difficult for Dou Wei to resist her sincerity.
What is widely praised by the outside world is a deformed love triangle, which is regarded as a strange story.
Dou Wei himself was not ashamed of what he had done, and he continued to try to find the right and left with ease.
He has a natural desire for unusually intimate relationships and is unwilling to give up any relationship.
Therefore, he has an extraordinary attachment to Jiang Xin and regards her as his soulmate;And Faye Wong's sincere and fiery dedication also made him unbearable to refuse.
It wasn't until 1996, that is, 5 years later, that Faye Wong finally realized her wish and became pregnant with Dou Wei's child.
The two of them finally entered the palace of marriage. However, Jiang Xin's heart has long been broken in this absurd relationship.
Years later, she recalled her wedding scene: she burst into tears and watched Dou Wei enter the cave room, while she could only stand alone outside the door, feeling desperate. At the same time, Dou Wei's parents also broke down and cried because of their son's strange behavior.
Soon after marriage, Faye Wong still had a deep love for Dou Wei and served him tenderly in every way. However, despite the woman's deep affection, she failed to retain Dou Wei for a long time in the end.
This sensational music empire collapsed in 1999, when their daughter was only 3 years old. Dou Wei fell into an unprecedented confusion and loss, which was brought about by the failure of his second marriage in his life.
He has slumped both in his career and emotionally, and his achievements are not as good as before. And the year of his establishment has passed. Because of a misunderstanding, 36-year-old Dou Wei almost caused a catastrophe in 2006.
He set fire to an innocent passerby's private car and was almost convicted of a felony.
This incident became the ultimate fuse that broke the camel's back. The public's disappointment in the ** genius is far deeper than the degree of forgiveness. That year, Dou Wei's life was full of misfortune and helplessness, and in the end everything collapsed.
He left the public eye, like after a silence of complete annihilation. His return is still the long-awaited and eagerly awaited return of many long-time fans.
However, more than ten years have passed, except for the occasional encounter with this unkempt middle-aged man on the street, and except for the occasional release of some masterpieces that failed to become popular, everyone has never really seen the "rock fairy" who was peerless back then.
His current appearance is unkempt, withered, skinny, and has disappeared in the sea of people.
It is rumored that Dou Wei has succeeded in "cultivating immortals" - his ** is unfathomable, and it is difficult for ordinary people to appreciate his artistic conception.
He remained undisturbed, firmly following his original dream, and constantly swimming to a farther goal in the ocean of **.
No longer enthusiastic and unrestrained, no longer ostentatious and boastful, only quiet and peaceful.
We have a deep affection for him, and we love the uninhibited god of rock and roll;We have a soft spot for him and fall in love with that talented ** ghost.
Maybe he is not flawless, but his ** has deeply touched the hearts of countless people.
