Hao Yu, author of "University Study Room", introduced:

From June 2003, in the next four months, a rap song "University Study Room" was read by 654.38+02,000 people online. Subsequently, the author who wrote this song attacking some uncivilized behaviors of contemporary college students also became the focus of attention: what kind of person is he?

Rush out of the university study room

Wen/Huang's eyes

A classmate in Beijing called Hao Yu: "I saw your song posted on the alumni book on Beijing TV 6." Dude, hurry to defend your rights! " Then, a classmate of Harbin Institute of Technology sent a short message to Haoyu, saying, "Haoyu, your song has become the second in the top ten news of our Lilac Forum of Harbin Institute of Technology today." A high school classmate told Hao Yu by email that Phoenix TV was playing his song. ...

On this day in August 2003, Hao Yugang came out of the classroom and answered several phone calls in one breath. These calls are all related to a flash comic song, which is now the most popular study room on the Internet. This humorous rap song uses sharp language to face the uncivilized behavior of contemporary college students. The author is Hao Yu, who studied at Harbin Institute of Technology.

Hao Yu, 25, grew up in Harbin. When he was a child, his busy parents didn't have much time to take care of him, which gave him more freedom to grow up than his peers. But when a person is always particularly bored, he will let his thoughts fly, let his thoughts fly, and paint all the walls at home with his "proud work".

In the third grade of primary school, my father bought a comic book for Haoyu. With its exquisite comic modeling and bizarre storyline, Haoyu fell in love with comics at once, and there was endless imagination for him to let go of his thoughts. Soon, Hao Yu, who was eager to draw a cartoon that he was also deeply loved by people, picked up a pen and imitated it. Slowly, he stopped imitating and drew it by his own imagination.

In young Hao Yu's eyes, there are stories and cartoons everywhere: the laughter of classmates, the flying of birds, the dancing in the rain and snow ... every grass and tree, every object and scene are alive in his pen. Hao Yu, who is painting and dreams of publishing comics when he grows up, can't wait to start publishing his own comics.

He named his publishing house "Soft Rain Publishing House" and published a magazine called "Comic Paradise", with 32 pages and 50 pages, which was published once a month. A whole year after the publication of Comic Paradise, Hao Yu published a comic book entitled Diary of a Madman written by Lu Xun.

In September 2000, Hao Yu sat in the class of navigation measurement and control major of Harbin Institute of Technology with excellent results, but he was never excited, and a sense of loss always haunted him. On the second weekend after school, Hao Yu, who returned home, had nothing to do. He tidied up the old bookcase and brushed the dust off the comic paradise. His heart suddenly became cheerful. It turns out that his heart is empty, because it is too far away from the comics he once loved! After thousands of days and nights of growth, love has revived in Haoyu's heart.

Singing while walking, there is a wise heart in the university study room.

Studying science and engineering, he listed some books on literature and philosophy in his university study plan. He thinks that if people only read books on pure natural science, they will become more and more rigid and cannot fully absorb some beautiful things that life has given them. Socrates, Schopenhauer, Hegel, Plato ... As the masters came into his field of vision, Haoyu gained a lot of great wisdom about life, especially Descartes' sentence, which made him write on the title page of his diary: Thought is our only dignity!

I like this sentence, which is in line with Hao Yu's observation and understanding of the university life where I live.

Before entering the university, Hao Yu imagined that the university campus should be an ivory tower with flowers and birds. Students study with their schoolbags on their backs in the temple of knowledge ... But after entering the university, most of what he saw was love, chatting with mobile phones ... Hao Yu felt confused and painful when he saw some college students' impetuous, quick success and numbness living conditions. He tried to acupuncture the numb students in a way that everyone liked to achieve.

Hao Yu, who likes hip-hop music (rap music), decided to make a hip-hop music to express the students' campus life through the internet in combination with the popular animation forms.

Because HIP-HOP music pays attention to the content of life, in order to enrich these contents, Hao Yu always carries a material book with him. On campus and on the bus ... he writes down what he sees, hears and has sudden inspiration at any time. Life plus thoughts, a song gradually takes shape.

In 2002, I produced Hao Yu's first song My University. This song vividly explains the problems existing in college life, such as some college students are groggy in class and playing games all night, the dormitory is dirty like a zoo, the food in the canteen is expensive and unpalatable, the toilet leaks and the heating is not hot, the emergency lights are confiscated and cigarettes have to be redeemed.

The songs were sung by the students at an amazing speed, and Hao Yu created seven more works in one breath.

Every piece of his work is done quietly. The content of hip-hop music is unpleasant. He was afraid that being known would stifle his creation, so he insisted on composing music on weekends when no one was at home.

This forced him to solve technical and musical problems alone, and it was the joy of creation that kept him moving forward.

In May, 2003, I was a junior in the next semester. After nearly a year of creation, Hao Yu completed his second album "Inertia". After "Inertia" came out, Hao Yu didn't sign it like the first album "My University", but just posted it on the alumni record, so only high school students know that this song was written by him.

Later, Hao Yu gave the album to several good friends of the student union, but he didn't know that a classmate passed the "University Study Room" to a classmate of Jilin University through the Internet, and that classmate of Jilin University passed the song to the BBS of Jilin University.

Because this song is close to college life, there is a * * * sound among young college students, and everyone is scrambling to spread it. So this song "Creation by Unknown College Students" spread from the BBS of Jida University to the BBS of major universities all over the country, and it was popular on university campuses all over the country for a period of time, and then spread to various commercial websites from university websites, BBS and forums ... Only four months later, the popularity of "University Study Room" exceeded 1.2 million, which is the most popular work on the Internet over the years.

The combination of love and thought gave Hao Yu unexpected applause.

The unique charm of "University Study Room" has also conquered the hearts of international students in China. Jiang Shan, the daughter of Jiang Kun, a famous crosstalk artist who studied in the United States, saw this song on the Internet and thought it had unique artistic value, so she sent it to her father.

After reading it, Jiang Kun was surprised and began to look for the author of "University Study Room". Because this work was published in Jilin University. Therefore, college students all over the country think that the author is a student of Jida University. On June 5438+1early October, 2003, Jiang Kun personally went to Jida to look for the author, but he was greatly disappointed.

10, 2003123, after many twists and turns, Jiang Kun finally called Hao Yu. On the phone, Jiang Kun praised Hao Yufu's creative art form and invited Hao Yu to come to Beijing to create a program together.

1October 26th 10, Jiang Kun, who went to Heilongjiang to participate in the national coal mine art show, took Haoyu to Qitaihe by bus. After a day of talks, Jiang Kun finally put forward their intention to cooperate in the 2004 Spring Festival Gala.

On June 25th, 2003, 165438+ Spring Festival Evening program entered the rehearsal stage. Hao Yu rushed to Beijing, stayed in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala crew, and began to record online rap programs with Jiang Kun and Dai Zhicheng in the CCTV studio. Although the whole program lasted only seven or eight minutes, it was recorded after three days of intense rehearsal.

After the rehearsal, Hao Yu, who had just returned to Harbin, received an invitation letter from the organizing committee of "National Campus Freshness College Students Song Contest" sponsored by Samsung ANYCALL of South Korea.

65438+In February 2003, Hao Yu came to Beijing again. Only then did he know that MTV had gone to Jida to find two rap college students, who mistakenly thought they were the authors of the university study room. Near the final rehearsal, two college students said they couldn't sing "University Study Room". The organizing committee has revealed to universities in Beijing that the author of "University Study Room" has been invited to the Internet. The students responded enthusiastically, and the organizing Committee was extremely anxious.

When I learned that Hao Yu was the real author of the university study room, I immediately sent out an invitation. As a result, the competition without Heilongjiang Division temporarily increased the Heilongjiang Division, and Hao Yu became the only special guest among college students in China.

On the evening of June 5438+February 65438+March 2003, Sha Baoliang, Qin Sige Rile and Xiao Gang all appeared as "big names" and applauded. At 8: 30, the host Li Xia just reported Hao Yu's name, and the scene immediately sounded deafening cheers.

When Hao Yu, a sports hoodie, jeans, sneakers and ordinary-looking "a buddy in the dormitory next door" sang "University Study Room", all the college students in the audience sang together and the atmosphere was pushed to the highest level. When Hao Yu took the award of "the most popular singer on the spot" into his arms, he secretly encouraged himself: if you think about it, do it, and there may be unexpected beauty after doing it.

After the concert, Hao Yu was invited by Sina.com to Sina as a guest chat room. Everyone invited by Sina chat room should sign a message in the guest book. When signing, Hao Yu found the singer Liu Huan signing on the page in front of him, followed by You Xiaogang ... Hao Yu solemnly signed his name, thought about it, and drew a smiling face under it. Hao Yu, who has walked through the Avenue of Stars, wants to tell others that he is an optimistic person.

June 5438+February 65438+May 2003, Hao Yu came to CCTV again for the final rehearsal. Regrettably, the plan failed to pass the final review. Hao Yu can't help but feel a little lost. Jiang Kun comforted him and said, "The program is wonderful, but it can't be continued for other reasons. Do not give up.

There is no smooth road. If you continue to work hard, art will be affirmed sooner or later ... "Hao Yu is aware of his immaturity, and at the same time, he also realizes that there is still a distance between HIP-HOP music and music acceptable to China audiences. He is determined to be a person who can bridge this distance.
