In 2005, Jia Nan and his good friend Cui established the "Nanhe" music group and joined hands to enter the music world.
When talking about his views on this group, Jia Nan told reporters that this group was completely formed naturally, and it was not the record company that singled out two people to save it. He and Cui grew up together and were very close since childhood, which means "growing up" in the words of Beijing. These two people have been friends for more than 20 years. There has always been a tacit understanding between each other, and sometimes you can know what it means with just one look.
In terms of musical style, the two are more complementary. Cui is meticulous. He pays attention to details in his lyrics and describes many things. Moreover, he composes music in a minor and has a soft melody. On the contrary, Jia Nan's lyrics pay more attention to experience and comment, and the music is more enthusiastic. They have a thorough understanding of the characteristics of each other's songs, and it will be more natural to grasp them.
Both of them came together after more than ten years of vicissitudes, so they are more meaningful in song creation and interpretation. Their music mainly faces urban white-collar workers, college students and other groups with high cultural level. These people are on the rise, but they have not yet developed their full potential and are still in the wandering stage. Jia Nan said that he hoped these people could find an outlet from his music and resonate with the vicissitudes and persistence expressed in the songs.
"We don't hide our age. 3 1 year old is our capital. We have our own life experiences and objective knowledge of the world, which young idol singers can't have," Jia Nan said frankly. "We are just using music to express our true feelings, and truth is often more touching. I hope that our songs can inspire those who have been far away from their dreams, and I hope that they will continue to maintain hope in the midst of hesitation. "
1995, Jia Nan, the first official singer of Birdman Company, released his solo album "Birds Outside the Cage" and became the elite in the campus folk sports that year. Almost at the same time, another campus singer also signed a contract with the company and became popular in the circle with a song "Let Tears Turn into Acacia Rain", that is Cui.
This is the fate of life. Perhaps 20 years ago, when Jia Nan and Cui sang for the first time in the classroom of Beijing No.8 Middle School, it was doomed that they would appear as a group in today's music scene. IT's just that everyone didn't expect that these two good friends, one who has become an IT elite and one who has been a record planner and star agent for many years, will have the opportunity to co-produce records again. All this is really legendary.
From "South Harmony Literary Fight" to "South Harmony Literary Fight"
Maybe this is the fate of life. When Jia Nan and Cui sang for the first time in the classroom of Beijing No.8 Middle School 20 years ago, it was doomed that they would appear as a group in today's music scene, but no one expected it at that time.
They didn't expect that a person who has become an IT elite, a person who has been a record planner and star agent for many years, still has a chance to set another record. All this is a legend, but it is so inevitable.
……
/kloc-At the age of 0/6, Jia Nan and Cui studied together in Beijing No.8 Middle School. In this middle school with many singers, there are two teenagers riding bicycles and singing their own songs unscrupulously on the way from school.
At the age of 20, Jia Nan and Cui toured the campus and made a solo album or collection. At that time, a large group of people were wandering in the street, playing the piano, singing and partying on the campus lawn.
At the age of 22, Jia Nan and Cui graduated from University. One chooses to go to a foreign company, and the other chooses to go to the cultural industry. She began to wear a suit and tie, trying to get a position in the mainstream society, and hesitated to include her singing experience in her resume.
By the age of 26, Jia Nan and Cui had started working on the track and planned their future with great ambition. Without Tayu Lo's concert that year, they almost forgot that they had a short dream of being a singer.
At the age of 3 1, Jia Nan and Cui began to want to make their lives a little different. They picked up their guitars and began to go in and out of the recording studio, trying not to think about the past and the future, but to sing the present. In this year, there was a "literary struggle in South China".
For thirty-one years
Nanhe Wendu's album is called "Mixed 3 1 Year". In this album, two 3 1 year-old open-minded and cheerful men sincerely sang their most authentic and excellent works, which are very distinctive and touching from any angle.
In terms of composition, the song "Mixed 3 1 Year" adopts the traditional pentatonic composition method in China. The whole song only uses five notes, namely, 1, "2", "3", "5" and "6". Neither "4" nor "7" is used, except that James J.S.Wong once used it in Laughing at the Sea, which is very rare in today's music world.
In terms of lyrics, Jia Nan expresses his understanding and attitude towards life through the colloquial word "mixed".
But ... will they "mix"?
One is the marketing manager of a large enterprise with nearly 2000 people in China, and the other is a well-known broker in the circle. No matter from their professional status or economic income, they can't be seen as "bastards". On the contrary, they struggle at the forefront of the times economy every day. According to them, "the word' mixed' here is more like a kind of irony, a kind of self-mockery, which expresses the feelings of many people like us when dealing with life setbacks." Actually, we don't mix at all. We feel that we are the elites of the times, the supporters of economic construction and the promoters of cultural development, but we are often confused and feel that our ideals are far away and the reality is too cruel. "
They laugh at themselves, but not pessimistic; They are low, but they are more upward; They are confused, but they believe in hope.
It has been 3 1 year. In an age when artists' ages need to be concealed, they don't care. Because, every step is a real experience, two serious men, for the road they have traveled, every step is unforgettable. Although they don't have the youth that little idols show off, their age is another kind of wealth. Mature works after experiencing the world are incomparable gains for young people.
"We don't hide our age. 3 1 year is our capital. We have our own life experience and objective understanding of the world, which young idol singer Xin does not have. We are using music to express our true feelings, and truth is often more touching. I hope that our songs can inspire those who have been far away from their dreams, and I hope that they will continue to maintain hope in hesitation. "
This song has just been filmed by MV recently. In this shooting, three construction teams were used to build scenes, and they created different styles of scenes, including luxury nightclubs in the 1980s and tubular buildings for residents. What shocked Nanhe Wendu the most is that Wang Zhehui, a famous director who once filmed Man Wenjun's "Know You" MV and won many awards, specially transferred a long 18 meter Cadillac from Tianjin in order to highlight the expressive force in Nanhe Wendu's first MV, and temporarily assembled a bus that has been copied for 80 years from BAIC repair shop; Hundreds of quartz clocks were also arranged at the MV shooting site, and the whole wall was covered with quartz clocks, creating a shooting atmosphere in which time passed and things changed.
I believe that fans will be infected by the theme and artistic conception expressed by this MV, and I believe that everyone will remember this "Nanhe Wendu" combination that has been mixed for 3 1 year.
If one day all the roses around you wither.
"If one day all the roses around you wither" is the longest song in Chinese music, but the lyrics of such a long song title are very simple, and all the lyrics are only eight sentences. When Pang Long, a fellow traveler, first heard the demo of this song, he was very excited and said that he would sing this song with Nanhewen.
People say that "three women's lives", three cheerful and open-minded men can also be very lively. In the recording studio, Pang Long, who once made Two Butterflies popular all over the country, jokingly called the song Three Roses, which became the private abbreviation of the song and had a very long title.
The lyrics of this slightly rock-and-roll song are very "Japanese"-tough enough and romantic enough; Inspirational and emotional. If you say you still need my shoulder, let's bear it together, my girl. In my imagination, if someone sings enthusiastically to me on the stage, I will say, "I do ..."
First love era
The Age of First Love was originally written in 1989. At that time, in Beijing No.8 Middle School, the singing level of this song had almost caught up with the school song of No.8 Middle School. That year, Nanhewen was in the third grade.
I remember that at that time, first love was still a taboo: it was staring silently at the "her" in the front row during class; It is the feeling of sweating for "her" when waiting in line for lunch. It was a note quietly put in her desk after school; It is a "Wild Lily has Spring" that can only be sung loudly in my heart. However, that era was also the happiest day of my life.
At the end of 2004, Jia Nan came across Xiao Yiping, who had known the musician 10 years. Ten years ago, at the first unplugged concert in China organized by Liaoyuan Huang, both of them performed their own works. They all like Pink Floyd and The Beatles very much, and they both lived in England ... Ten years later, the same two people saved a lot of money and jointly rewritten the song "The Age of First Love". Apart from slightly modifying the lyrics, the unique guitar solo and the harmony of Nanhe for nearly 20 years make this song sound refreshing. Listen if you don't believe me. Did you hear the smell of "Andrew Zhou" and the comic book "Make a scene in heaven"?
The classic love song "Let Tears Turn into Acacia Rain" comes with the disc.
It was a time when white clothes were fluttering, and in my memory, love was full of bright colors. With the aging of youth, love gradually becomes blurred, and the color tends to be the same as black and white photos. But what floats across the sky is still throbbing tears and unforgettable love.
When listening to this song for the first time, everyone present was silent. This classic "Let Tears Turn into Acacia Rain" can easily bring people into an artistic conception, reminding everyone of the past in a quiet night, when sadness and passion interacted.
Nanhe Wendu tried his best to interpret this song, and their voices were also reflected to the greatest extent in this song. Accompanied by Cang's electric guitar solo, the harmony in the climax will give the audience a heartbreaking shock.
