I really like Xu Wei’s songs. If you like them too, you can come here to chat.

I won’t tell you my thoughts, it’s such a beautiful sound!

Don’t mind if I post something for everyone!

Moderator: Hello everyone!

Host: Good afternoon, all Yahoo netizens! The annual Chinese Music Chart is officially launched today. As the official website and the largest sponsor of this event, Yahoo has invited many popular singer candidates to communicate with everyone live. Our entertainment channel will report detailed information about this event in real time, so please stay tuned. We have now invited a singer that everyone likes very much—Xu Wei.

Xu Wei: Hello everyone! I wish you all a very happy day.

Host: Xu Wei is particularly tired today. He also went to the press conference today and rushed here.

Xu Wei: I have been recording a new album in the past two days

Host: Let’s talk about the situation.

Xu Wei: They are covers, including "Perseverance" by Tian Zhen, as well as songs by Lao Lang and Faye Wong (pictures-news-webpage). I took these songs from them and re-arranged and sang them.

Host: It’s been a long time since you created your first album, and you’ve won many awards. What do you think of this list, and you’re sure to be shortlisted? What are your thoughts? What is it?

Xu Wei: I am very happy to be nominated because I have been shortlisted for the tenth time.

Host: What is the nomination?

Xu Wei: Best Creation Award. Being able to be shortlisted this time is because the entire company, various departments and musicians have devoted their efforts. This is not my business alone.

Host: There are many things expressed in your first album. One music critic (Pictures-News-Webpage) said that listening to Xu Wei’s music used to be so moving that it would make people cry. But listening to it now His music is so warm that you can fall asleep.

Xu Wei: This is a very high praise, and it is also my original intention of making this album. This is also a new stage of my creation. The fourth album is about feeling more about life, about Chinese culture, including about Chinese culture. An observation and experience of people’s mental state in real society. I think modern people live very anxious lives. At the same time, we musicians always study Western things, including movies and music. Due to the strong economy, we pay more attention to Western things.

Xu Wei: But in our traditional excellent culture and traditional spirit, as a Chinese musician, we should really learn it. Through learning, I also love it particularly and spend a lot of time reading traditional books, including paintings. , calligraphy, listening to traditional music, and feeling the spirit of the Chinese ancestors over the years. I later made this album based on my understanding of culture during this period. Many albums have moral meanings, including "Little Fish's Ideal" which comes from Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou", and "Go Drink Tea" , it turns out to be "Go for Tea". The most important thing is to memorize this music when you are particularly tired, physically and mentally exhausted for a day

Host: Your first album, it feels like you are inside After a lot of struggle, now that you have written such a song and such broad music, has your heart become more peaceful and calm?

Xu Wei: In fact, I want to develop myself in a good direction. Everyone is in the same time and space, and the ultimate enjoyment of music is to enjoy it.

Host: I particularly like one of your songs called "The Past You". I once dreamed of traveling to the end of the world and seeing the prosperity of the world." There is a gap between the world you see and the life you dream of.

Xu Wei: I don’t dare to dream too much. When I was in my teens or twenties, I read martial arts novels in Xi’an and had this dream; A man should have such a dream, or at least have the impulse. The scenery along the way is quite wonderful, I have seen many people and things, and I have experienced some spiritual experiences. I prefer a more comfortable and tranquil life. Live a more practical life. I also want to be a musician who can make more people happy. This is my current dream.

Host: I want to bring something to the fans.

Xu Wei: It is to make everyone healthy and happy.

Moderator: Who do you like more?

Xu Wei: The first time I came into contact with martial arts was Gu Long, and then that one. Jin Yong's, the two styles are so different.

Host: Do you think there are elements of their influence in your works?

Xu Wei: Many things are comprehensive and subtle. This is just one aspect, including the music you listen to and the movies you watch. There are so many things to absorb when creating. When we recorded the album in the first two days, we would be with the musicians. Every time we met, we were together during the recording and rehearsal process. When chatting with Lao Zai, he said that Kung Fu lies outside the industry. , this means to absorb nutrients from different cultures, not just listening to music or reading a novel, this is a lifetime of learning.

Host: Your "Blue Lotus" is also a song that fans are very familiar with and love. Where did the inspiration for this song come from, and what do you want to convey to everyone?

Xu Wei: "Blue Lotus" has several original characters. One is Xuanzang. He wrote "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty". When we read "Journey to the West", they were all compiled. When I was in Xi'an, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was the place where he studied the Book of Changes. I thought he was very remarkable. There is also a modern Li Shutong, with their firmness and calm attitude towards their beliefs and ideals, I wrote a song.

Moderator: Let’s pay attention to the questions raised by netizens.

A netizen asked: Beibei: Your songs always make me feel like they are coming from a far away place, and they always sound like my heartfelt voice, an emotion that cannot be expressed.

Host: Singers can play this role and make everyone scream.

A netizen asked: "Travel" sounds great. Do you like to travel? Where do you most want to go?

Xu Wei: I really like traveling, but I don’t have time.

Host: Backpacking?

Xu Wei: Yes. One place I went to this year was Yangshuo. Every month the place performs and promotes all over the country. This year I went to Yangshuo with a backpack. I am already very satisfied. I still hope to have more time to go to various places, because in that state, the mind is particularly relaxed. , people should have it at least twice a year.

Host: Moreover, you will encounter many things and have many feelings on the road.

Xu Wei: Yes, it feels different from being busy in the city.

A netizen asked: After listening to your later albums, I can feel a kind of power. Are you now full of power in your heart, because people who can give strength to others must be very powerful in their own hearts. people.

A netizen asked:

Xu Wei: Everyone agrees, *** encourage me.

A netizen asked:

Xu Wei: I started from the first song that morning and was shocked by the audience. At that time, I was still wondering whether so many people would come and whether they would I will be very happy and I will think about this. But when the music started playing, and before I even started singing on stage, the whole place was already buzzing with excitement. This was very shocking to me. Every time I think of these scenes, or when I greet you on the street, or when I meet someone on some occasions, With the encouragement from my peers, I feel that these are a kind of interaction, and I am becoming more and more confident in doing them.

Moderator: Everyone’s feedback is very important to you.

Xu Wei: Of course.

A netizen asked: Your solo concert this year was very successful and complete. When will your next singing concert be?

Xu Wei: There will be a solo concert in Tianjin on Christmas Eve on the 24th of this month. Ticket sales have already started.

Moderator: I hope netizens will come to the scene to give you support and encouragement.

Xu Wei: Thank you.

Host: We know that you went through a lot of vicissitudes and hardships when you first became a singer. It was very difficult at that time, right?

Xu Wei: Not really. Later I came to Beijing and met many people. Everyone is the same. If you can persist in this industry, survive, and have the opportunity to make a living in this industry, you should have a grateful attitude and not feel that you have endured hardship. I really haven’t. Too much hardship, okay, this is the most basic thing for a musician, because to practice and study, you have to endure loneliness, which is something you must experience if you want to choose this industry. This is as it should be.

Host: When people didn’t recognize you so much at first, were you feeling lonely during that time?

Xu Wei: Not really. Later I went to Beijing and met a lot of people. Everyone was the same. I was able to persist in this industry. Even though I survived, no one recognized my loneliness. I focused more on making music, and I always felt that I was not doing well.

It's okay now. When I was a musician I liked, I still felt that I was far behind. I still have a lot of ways to go. What I have to learn is my mental endurance.

Host: Do you deny yourself during the creative process?

Xu Wei: It’s learning. I feel that I am very far behind. Being able to feel something, a good thing, is very different from their living conditions. I have been working hard and I have not stopped for so many years. Sometimes I want to rest but can't. For example, if I want to rest today, if I watch a movie with good music in it and want to record it, I pick up the piano and another day passes. Sometimes I can't sleep well, including What is it like to arrange music, how it feels in your soul, and you also need to practice your playing skills.

Host: Life and singing career are inseparable.

Xu Wei: Yes, there is no way.

A netizen asked: Are you happy now? People who move me should be happy.

Xu Wei: I am quite happy, but sometimes I am not happy. This is normal. Everyone is like this. I am used to it. I should gradually reduce this. This is a process. .

Host: As a singer, you not only have to engage in creation, but also do a lot of work that an artist should do, such as publicity and engaging in some commercial performances. Do you like to deal with these? Do you feel particularly tired sometimes?

Xu Wei: That’s for sure. As artists, we often face various jobs and situations. We are singer-songwriters, and sometimes we need to be quiet. This is still a process of adaptation. I think it still depends on the adjustment of our own mentality.

Moderator: Do you think this is a sacrifice?

Xu Wei: No, you should find fun. This is a positive attitude.

Host: Is there any fun in it?

Xu Wei: Of course, for example, taking a plane, reading a book or looking at the clouds in a city, the atmosphere of each city is different. Shanghai and Beijing are completely different, and Guangzhou has a particularly strong atmosphere of life. Although I only stayed for a few days, including going to the hotel and the airport, I could still feel some of the atmosphere of life.

Host: The city you used to live in was Xi'an. How long have you been staying in Beijing now?

Xu Wei: I came here in 1994, probably almost 11 years ago. I grew up in Xi'an for more than 20 years.

Host: I think Xi'an is a city with a very rich cultural heritage. Do you think this city has a subtle influence on your own style and some creative styles?

Xu Wei: Even if you live there subtly, you won’t feel anything. After I came to Beijing, many people said that this is a city with rich cultural heritage.

Moderator: Xi'an is older and Beijing is more modern.

Xu Wei: After returning to Xi'an, the pace of life will slow down twice as much. It is a relatively comfortable city and you won't have too many thoughts there.

Host: A bit like Chengdu.

Xu Wei: Yes, it is very similar to Chengdu. There are many snacks and life is very comfortable. It does not cost too much. I think it is better for retirement.

Host: Is it possible to go to Xi'an for retirement in the future?

Xu Wei: I haven’t thought about it yet. I am a cosmopolitan person. Since I was 17 years old, I have been to many places across the country and served as a soldier. I think it is the same everywhere, as long as I like a place. , but haven’t thought about it yet.

Moderator: Have you found your favorite city now?

Xu Wei: I really like Beijing.

A netizen asked: You have won many awards since the creation of your first album. Are there any awards that you think are of special significance? Or something more important.

Xu Wei: The first time that impressed me most was when I was in my second year of high school. In 1986, at the first guitar competition in Xi’an, I won first place in a duet with Gao Song, the lead guitar player of Fei Band, and we also won the first place. One time it was the 3rd Music Billboard, where I was nominated for the first time and won five awards.

Xu Wei: Yes.

Netizens asked: How are you different now from before?

Xu Wei: The changes are too great. I think people should change. It would be scary if there were many changes. Mentally, I have become calmer, and I have taken a dim view of many things. I am not as strong as before.

A netizen asked: The End of the Road: I think "Elsewhere" is desperate, "That Year" is angry, and "Time Walking" is quiet.

Xu Wei: That’s good, everyone has their own opinion.

A netizen asked: What will your next album be like?

A netizen asked: As a rock (picture-news-webpage) singer, when your individual works are not recognized by mainstream music, how do you see this contradiction?

Xu Wei: Rock music is originally mainstream music, but it is not considered by everyone in China and is too mainstream in the West. This takes time to accept. At the same time, as a musician, many things were not accepted in the past. This is the market, and not so many people come to listen to rock music (Pictures-News-Webpage). At the same time, I am reflecting on whether I am not doing well. This is a touch. I hope that Chinese rock music will get better and better.

A netizen asked: You are very busy at work and you have a cold again. I hope you can pay attention to your health.

Xu Wei: Thank you.
