Wang Zhen and Wang Mingming met in the university campus. They became good friends because of their love of music. In the next semester of junior year, Wang Zhen wrote songs and worked in Wang Mingming. They accidentally recorded their first demo "City", and in the winter of 19 13, a band composed of two people-"Yi San" was born.

Driven by curiosity, send demo to social networking sites. Two weeks after it was sent to Douban, City actually appeared on Douban's music list, with nearly 20,000 hits. Encouraged by this, they wrote three songs next. Then, every young person has to cross a hurdle-graduation.

Bury the ideal in the stream of people going to and from work, or guard the wild flowers dancing in your heart against the current? A year later, they made a choice. "There is no doubt that music should be done."

With the tour, album production and band members joining, "13" is moving towards the ideal place step by step.

Eye boy x Wang Zhen Wang Mingming

Eye boy: For many young people who love music, graduation is a hurdle. "13" is not easy to cross this hurdle.

Wang Mingming: From our own point of view, we love music and making music brings us happiness. Compared with our normal work, music makes us much happier. Although it didn't bring us profit at that time, we still took music as the first thing to do. Even at work before, we would use each other's business trips and holidays to piece together some time.

Eye boy: What is the turning point of music turning positive?

Wang Mingming: Although Wang Zhen and I were both working at that time, we had a clear goal in mind-making an album. You must make an album. Last September, I first gritted my teeth, quit my job, and went from Shanghai to Ningbo to find Wang Zhen for three months. In February, 65438, Wang Zhen also resigned, and we began to explore our own music.

Eye boy: Have you ever faced any troubles since you devoted all your time to music?

Wang Mingming: Mainly material problems. Actually, it's okay Save, save more.

Wang Zhen: I think material difficulties are easier to solve than mental ones. As long as you are self-disciplined, you can live.

Wang Mingming: What makes us feel more miserable is that, for example, we can't write a song and rehearse something new. It is such a moment. It's not a material situation.

Yan Zi: At present, the style of Yi San is mainly folk songs. Is this the direction of your efforts? What kind of music do you want to make?

Wang Mingming: We want to do more than just the corner of folk songs. In just a few minutes, using a guitar to express emotions through lyrics and songs is just such a form, which is currently understood as folk songs. We didn't have many skills and musicians before, so it sounded like a folk song. But we want to do more than that.

Wang Zhen: Music is our expression and the bearing of our true feelings. Can't be limited to the so-called type.

Yan Zi: It's not easy to be a full-time musician. What is your motivation for making music?

Wang Mingming: First of all, it's the personality, the axis. I've started to do it now, and I seem to be able to live on it. I'm very happy. Keep doing it.

Another point is that I have more confidence in my work. So I didn't give up.

Eye boy: What is the current lineup of the band?

Yan Tong: What is the musical goal of 13?

Wang Mingming: I hope to write good music.

Wang Zhen: We can let more people hear our songs. When others hear our songs, they will feel that they have ideas and can guide them to examine themselves and ask questions.

Eye boy: What's the most impressive moment in making music these years?

Wang Mingming: What impressed me most was probably last winter. A particularly cold day, in the company dormitory in Wang Zhen. To reduce the noise, we didn't turn on the air conditioner. Three songs were recorded during that time, and those songs were still cold to us.

Then I went to Shanghai and Wuxi. After Wang Zhen resigned, we went to Suzhou together. This summer, we recorded three more songs. The rain has been wet, and those three songs are all wet. At least that's how we feel when we hear it.

Now that you have dragged yourself into the professional circle, you should continue to be responsible for your own path.

Eye: Come on! We expect 13 to bring us more wonderful works.
