Come later than ever.

Bus No.2 stops at the eighth floor.

Took away the last falling yellow leaf.

Melodious melody, beautiful lyrics, prominent rhythm, strong feelings of missing are closely surrounded, deeply evoking past memories, and every note beats in my heart and gently touches a sad nerve.

A kind of tranquility that dispersed the prosperity and impetuousness of the city, the singer sang the vastness and tranquility of the sky and desert in the western regions with a hoarse and rich voice.

The biggest highlight of mainland pop music in 2004,

Not Pu Shu in its heyday,

Nor is it the popularity of Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai.

But an unknown singer from Xinjiang who has never heard of it in the music world.

He floated in with a strong western flavor.

Destroy decay, occupy streets, shops and alleys in a short time,

At that time, his hoarse, vicissitudes, boundless and lofty voice was everywhere.

No signs, no packaging, no advertisements, no music charts,

As if overnight, in 2002, the late snow pushed away thousands of pear trees.

The snow did come a little late, taking away the last yellow leaf, but blowing the west wind that blew all over the country.

What is even more unexpected is that there is a baby face with great contrast under the rough voice of the western desert.

This young man with a cap was suppressed and brewed for 16 years, and finally his energy broke out and ushered in his golden age.

This year, he was 33 years old.

It's not easy to make a living in Sichuan.

His real name is not Dao Lang, nor is he from Xinjiang.

His name is Rowling. 197 1, from Zizhong County, Neijiang City, Sichuan Province. His mother dances in an art troupe, his father is in charge of lighting and his cousin is a composer.

When he was a child, he was in an art troupe, learning piano from others, and copying music scores for his cousin in his spare time, because each music score earned fifty cents.

I often play all kinds of musical instruments and hear many folk songs about Xinjiang. From then on, I began to like Xinjiang music.

Rowling inherited her parents' literary cells, and was born with a unique voice. She loved music since she was a child.

Because he is the only child in the family, his parents have been very strict since childhood, which leads to Luo Lin's character being a bit withdrawn and indifferent, but he has his own opinions.

16 years old has not graduated from junior high school. With his own musical dream and pursuit, regardless of his parents' opposition, he came to Neijiang's karaoke room from the hippo chef alone to learn keyboard instruments.

Rowling has a soft spot for folk music and likes folk musical instruments very much.

After that, I spent more than four years in Chengdu, Chongqing, Tibet, Xi 'an and other places, learning various national musical instruments while drifting.

1989 When singing in the concert halls in Neijiang and Chengdu, he and Liao Jian, a Bashu comedian known as "Brother Jian", formed a scalpel band, with Liao Jian as the lead singer and Luo Lin as the keyboard player. The two worked well together, but the karaoke business was not good enough to make a living, and the band finally had to disband.

Rowling's music career is not smooth.

However, it never rains but it pours, and his emotional experience is even worse.

Rowling's wife is Yang Na.

Yang Na used to be an artist of tvbi, and later transformed into a host and experienced a failed marriage.

When Rowling met Yang Na, she had just divorced and suffered from the failure of her marriage. Rowling fell in love with Yang Na at first sight, and Dao Lang's pursuit and comfort freed her from the pain. They got together, got married and gave birth to a lovely daughter, Luo Tian.

But unexpectedly, after more than a month, Yang Na left her husband and newborn daughter and left without saying goodbye.

Like crazy, Rowling searched all the corners nearby and asked Yang Na's relatives and friends, but there was no news of her.

Three months later, disheartened Rowling received a phone call from Yang Na: "Forgive me, I have to go, I can't live a hard life, and you can't give me the happiness I want."

In the face of Yang Na's departure, Rowling was heartbroken, and one song after another was condensed in his pain and sadness.

Under the double frustration of career and feelings, Luo Lin created this song "The Child's Mother".

That song made people cry and soaked a man's sad tears and desperate cries.

Perhaps because of the psychological trauma caused by this relationship, Dao Lang's later songs always have a deep temptation complex in roughness.

Struggle for the dream of music

199 1, Luo Lin, frustrated and desperate, entrusted her children to her parents.

Not forgetting his dream of music, he summoned up his courage, carried his guitar alone and went south to Hainan to start another wandering life.

In Hainan, together with music lovers, he once again formed the band "Children of the Earth", this time he is still a keyboard player.

Unfortunately, due to the pressure of life, the band can only face dissolution again. Even though Rowling is talented in music, her hard-working life is still not improving.

1993 met Zhu Mei, a singer from Xinjiang, in a wandering performance, and Dao Lang's talent deeply attracted her.

Similar experiences and common musical hobbies brought them closer and closer, and they soon fell in love.

At the suggestion of Zhu Mei, they decided to go to Xinjiang for development 1995.

Rowling later recalled that when he arrived in Xinjiang, he saw the passionate Maxim, the humorous nazir Qom, the melodious and euphemistic Larkell, and the enthusiastic and high-pitched Uyghur Dolans singing, and finally found the voice he wanted most.

Xinjiang is a diversified minority, and everyone can sing and dance well, which provides Luo Lin with a lot of creative inspiration.

Here, Luo Lin wrote the mysterious western customs into the song.

It is often said that behind every successful man, there is a woman like a treasure.

Rowling and Zhu Mei got married soon.

No matter how famous Dao Lang was, no matter how beautiful he became, no matter how dull his life was after the scenery, Zhu Mei never gave up his company and support.

For Rowling's development, Zhu Mei gave up her favorite music, became a wife, and fully supported her husband. Life is bitter, but it is sweet and happy.

Zhu Mei gave birth to a daughter for Rowling, and also took the initiative to ask Rowling to take over the eldest daughter born by his ex-wife and live together as his own.

In Xinjiang, Luo Lin is the music director of Xinjiang Deweilong Audio & Video Company and the chief producer of Luolin Music Studio in Urumqi.

Independent production of "Love Songs of the Western Regions" and other records.

At first, I could only write songs for others to earn my daily expenses, so life was so tepid.

Luo Lin wrote an amazing number of songs. In 200 1 year, he released his first album with the money earned by writing songs. These songs are a mixture of pop and fashion styles, but there is no response. Little is known about his album, and less than 3,000 copies were sold at that time.

Rowling's first album was hit hard by the failure, but she was not discouraged by it. He chose another way to enrich himself, went to the library to find information, and collected folk songs from the Gobi Desert to the homes of Uighurs. Write three or four songs a day, and write more than 1000 songs a year.

What supported him was his unfulfilled musical dream and Zhu Mei's silent support and encouragement.

Gradually, with the successful listing of CDs such as Soul of Silk Road and Love Song of the Western Regions, it is increasingly important for personal packaging to meet the requirements of the national market.

Rowling thinks it is more appropriate to use the name "Dao Lang", which reflects his own musical style and direction. Therefore, the name "Dao Lang" has been used ever since the planning of Love Songs of the Western Regions.

There is a Makati county in southern Xinjiang, which is a well-known "hometown of Daolang culture". "Dao Lang" means "concentration" and "gathering in piles" in Uygur language. People who lived in some areas of Tarim Basin in ancient times called themselves Dao Lang. They are brave, tenacious, hardworking and simple.

Rowling's voice features are very similar to Uyghur Dolans in Maccati County, both hoarse and clear.

The "Dao Lang" song and dance there is even more simple, rough, enthusiastic, unrestrained, full of mystery and eye-catching.

Dream of flying

In the winter of 2002, Dao Lang walked out of the studio, and it just snowed outside.

In the distance, there is a girl of ethnic minorities, wearing colorful clothes in a white snow scene, which is very eye-catching and has strong color contrast.

At this moment, a friend of mine said, "This is the first snow in 2002".

At this moment, this scene suddenly touched the inspiration of Dao Lang. He rushed back to the recording studio and improvised this song "The First Snow in 2002".

There are still traces in the song that have deeply hurt your feelings before.

Dao Lang, who is very strict about creation and music, has more confidence in this work, so he just put this song at the bottom of the box and revised it repeatedly for two years.

In August, 2003, the album "Love Songs of the Western Regions" with outstanding folk songs in Xinjiang as the main content came out, which was not only loved by the audience in northern and southern Xinjiang, but also made people outside Xinjiang know about Xinjiang pop music and Xinjiang pop singers such as Dao Lang, Huang Can and Yanzi.

After the publication of Love Songs of the Western Regions, six large-scale concerts were held in Xinjiang within two months, and the local music in Xinjiang was warmly welcomed by people.

On June 6th, 2004, at 65438, the album The First Snow of 2002 was finally released.

It's time for God's favor.

Without any publicity, the songs in the album, such as Lover, Punishment of Impulse, and The First Snow in 2002, spread from Xinjiang to the whole country one after another, and Dao Lang's songs were all from south to north overnight.

Just as Dao Lang's songs are overwhelming, only Beijing is indifferent.

If there is no fire in Beijing, it is not a real success.

Finally, under the recommendation of Dao Lang famous music producer Song Ke, the album was released in major video stores in Beijing in May. Within five days, it was widely sung on the streets of Beijing, and the original sales reached more than 2.7 million copies, which was an instant hit.

Everyone knows the singer in the hat. After a long silence, Dao Lang finally came to the public and became a popular pop star.

In 2005, he won the national "Golden Record" award for "Punishment of Impulse".

In 2006, the albums Thank You and Wolf in Sheep's Clothing were released.

It is said that after Dao Lang became popular, his ex-wife Yang Na regretted it and wanted to get back together with him. However, if I know this, why am I so determined? Dao Lang can't go back.

After hard training, Dao Lang deeply understood what he needed and what was precious.

The song "Impulsive Punishment" came from his deep cry of helplessness and past pain, which kept it in the song.

Song Ke once commented on Dao Lang, "His songs are really rare fire songs, which are typically catchy, with bright voice and excellent voice. His popularity was unexpected. In the final analysis, his works really return to the essence of music, which is good to listen to. "

A pair of college students who love each other signed up for environmental protection volunteers and came to Hoh Xil, which is called "life forbidden zone" because of the cold and lack of oxygen at MINUS 40 degrees Celsius.

The boy was placed in Tuohe Observatory under difficult conditions, but unfortunately, he died on the way to collect information. He was the first volunteer who died in Hoh Xil.

Girls wait day and night, but what they get is the boy's legacy and the pain of where you will go.

Dao Lang heard this sad story circulating in the West Sea when traveling in the West Sea, and was deeply moved, so he wrote this song "Love Song of the West Sea" specially for them.

Just like other songs of Dao Lang, the lyrics of Love Song of the West Sea are sad and touching, and the melody makes people cry. The sad background story adds a bit of sadness to this song.

Sad words, sad melody, vicissitudes of life.

From beginning to end, it always touches people's hearts in that soft and fragile place, the love songs of the West Sea, and the depths of the ocean.

When the song rings, people seem to see a lonely and weak figure in the snow-capped mountains, calling on distant lovers to go back to the past together.

Where are you going? Love tears a bleeding heart. Singing three sighs is like crying.

Eternal classics.

At the annual meeting of Wanda Group, Chairman Wang Jianlin sang Dao Lang's "Love Song of the West Sea".

The Jianghu of pop music.

It's also complicated.

Dao Lang is a low-key music composer, with zero scandal and zero stain.

He hardly packs himself or publicizes himself.

Even in the period of great success, Dao Lang kept a very low profile.

Dao Lang once said in an interview that he was not a star at all, but an ordinary person, a wanderer on the music journey.

In 2004 and 2005, when he was the most popular, he was very uncomfortable with everything after becoming famous, afraid of being entertained and even afraid.

He once said that wherever he went, he would hear his songs.

I went to Dingxi, Gansu, a very small place. I think I can stay quietly for a while. As a result, as soon as I got off the bus, I saw a newsstand and a magazine with Dao Lang's head on it, and the words beside it were very big, which read "Look at Dao Lang coldly".

Still can't escape, he feels that his world is about to collapse.

Learn from a painful experience and decide to retreat quickly. Songs are in the rivers and lakes, and people are behind the scenes.

In those years, Dao Lang became the creator behind the scenes. In addition to his own album, he also produced the musical Children of the Gobi, worked as a producer for other singers, made albums for singers Huang Can and Yu Sa, and also made albums for his apprentice Yun Yun.

As Dao Lang himself said, although I am afraid of being entertained, my requirement for life is actually very simple, as long as a family of four can eat enough.

The pop music scene is characterized by popularity, mobility and moving.

If you want peace of mind, the wind will not stop.

After Dao Lang became famous, different versions of Dao Lang appeared in the music world, all trying to rub Dao Lang's fame and mix some traffic and popularity.

Dao Lang's brokerage firm is on the edge of the enemy and wants to sue the other side for following suit. Just as the war between the two sides escalated, the media were waiting for how this farce would end.

However, Dao Lang himself disappeared overnight.

In 20 10, a leading female judge strongly opposed Dao Lang's shortlist, arguing that Dao Lang's sales were high, but there was no aesthetic standard and her works lacked musicality. She even said that "all the people who go to KTV to order Dao Lang songs are farmers", which is detrimental to her status. In the end, Dao Lang missed the prize.

Dao Lang's agent and fans were indignant, but Dao Lang just said "Don't be too serious", and later it was said that a judge apologized from a distance.

On July 20th, 2065438+00, Dao Lang made several appearances and was invited to be a guest singer at the concert of Hong Kong Star Alan Tam.

This has a lot to do with former disciples.

At that time, he joined Universal Records and became the younger brother of President Tan. They both cherish each other.

For his brother's sake, Dao Lang generously gave Alan Tam Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, which he wanted to be the title song of the album, to be included in the album.

20 18 the famous music talent show "The Voice of China".

A contestant chooses to sing a song. As soon as he spoke, his tutor Li Jian said to the other three tutors: His voice is unique, and I vaguely heard Dao Lang's voice.

Later, the host asked Li Jian: What do you think of Dao Lang's music? Please comment.

Li Jian replied: Many people, even many singers, think that online songs and folk songs are not allowed to appear on the desktop, and usually they will not be officially recognized, but in this sense, pop music is a contemporary folk song. Dao Lang's music is very musical.

In the end, Li Jian's Tenzin Nima conquered the audience with her outstanding strength and beautiful folk songs, and won the program champion.

For the first time, Dao Lang sent his blessing to Li Jian and Tenzin Nima, thanking them for singing folk songs.

Li Jian is very grateful to Dao Lang for his blessing.

Born in Tsinghua University, Li Jian, known as a music poet, has his own understanding of Dao Lang.

In 2005, because of fate, Dao Lang met a disciple, Yun Yun from Aba, Sichuan.

Dao Lang wrote lyrics for her, made a record, took her to sing everywhere, and taught her how to master the intonation of songs and how to sing a song with passion without losing her own style.

In the clouds, Dao Lang saw the shadow of his past and gave all his strength to the clouds.

In recent years, cloud has become popular in the music industry.

Caiyun's achievements today can't be separated from her teacher Dao Lang's painstaking cultivation.

When Dao Lang felt that the cloud was mature enough to be independent, he chose to let go and let the cloud soar alone, and he also placed deep hopes and good wishes on this disciple.

Growing up in Qiangzhai, the clouds are like mountains, and the humanistic climate of the plateau has shaped her sunny and innocent character and heavenly voice.

Clouds live up to the teacher's high expectations, good innate qualifications and acquired efforts, so that people know her and fall in love with her simple and moving singing.

Stay away from rivers and lakes

Loyal to our original wishes

The impetuosity and entertainment of pop music are far from Dao Lang's personality and interests.

After 20 1 1 year, Dao Lang basically faded out of the Jianghu.

No matter how impetuous the music scene is, it depends on songs to speak and strength to win the audience.

15 years later, people still remember the only Dao Lang.

Dao Lang has since faded out of the Jianghu and remained silent.

With the gradual dullness of pop music, fans have been obsessed with Dao Lang.

Occasionally, there is always news about Dao Lang.

Especially in recent years, with the changes in the music market, Dao Lang's songs have returned to people's field of vision, and some of his classic songs have always been sung on major stages.

The rivers and lakes are far away, and you still can't escape the search of fans.

Originally, from 20 17, Dao Lang studied Kunqu opera invisibly in Suzhou, hoping to combine pop music with Kunqu opera.

Dao Lang has a good life in Suzhou, and he is still persistent on the road of music.

It's just that time waits for no one. He has gained a lot of weight and has a big bald head.

Because of his fat figure, it is difficult to be recognized even when walking in the street. In order to travel conveniently, Dao Lang also bought a motorcycle.

I'm in a good mental state. Even now I'm a middle-aged uncle, my style remains the same.

Someone joked that Dao Lang looks like Teacher Ma Dehua now, and finally took off his hat after decades.

Dao Lang used to wear that hat all the time.

Someone once teased him. Can you take off your hat?

Dao Lang replied humorously, "Taking off his hat means he is enjoying life." . He usually goes shopping and can bargain with vendors. Wearing a hat is different, just like Dao Lang singing on the stage.

Dao Lang took off his hat and returned to the life of ordinary people.

His wife Zhu Mei has a more beautiful heart, big and small things at home,

Don't worry about Dao Lang. The song "Thank You", which represents gratitude, was given to Zhu Mei and his fans by Dao Lang.

After Dao Lang became popular, she warned Dao Lang to treat herself with peace of mind.

Both daughters have grown up, and the eldest daughter has a very high face value. The youngest daughter worships him and only listens to his songs.

A very happy family of four.

It is gratifying to see Dao Lang gain weight and live a happy life in the photo.

Bless this music dreamer who keeps fighting for his dream.

May his music, like Populus euphratica in the northwest desert, be tenacious and evergreen, with the gentleness and roughness of the northwest, and make passers-by full of hope.
