Li Jian's inspirational story

Many people know me through legends. The song Legend was written in 2003. This year is exactly 20 13, which is a song written ten years ago. It's the ninth song of my first record, but it's actually a neglected song.

Xu Gehui once asked me in an interview. She said that Li Jian has been ten years. Is it a milestone for you? Let me think about it. I think it should be mileage. Forget the monument. Bad luck.

Ten years should be summed up, so I came here today and looked through my previous diary. Then I'll start with this earliest afternoon, which was1June 23, 988. I was sitting at home, looking out of the balcony, and suddenly I had an idea, saying, can I learn musical instruments? Because I watched several movies before, all of which were related to the guitar, I was more sensible at that time. I hope to save some money, so I signed up for a four-dollar guitar class. But if I continue to study, the price will start to rise, so I will help the teacher tune the piano and sweep the floor, and the teacher will confiscate my tuition and let me continue to study.

To tell the truth, I haven't thought much about what my ideal is. I think it is very lucky to find music when I was young, and I have had a lot of spiritual world since then. At that time (and now), many students said that learning guitar was just for chasing girls, but I was really not at that time. I was still fascinated by music and guitar.

In fact, when I was young, I was not confident in singing to myself, because when I was young, I learned Peking Opera from my father, and the noise was dumb. Later, after I became mute, I didn't want to talk much, and the teacher didn't want to call you. I was more or less silent and formed the habit of talking to myself.

I think it is often because of loneliness that I talk to myself. Loneliness produces fantasy, and fantasy produces creation. I think this is a particularly good statement. I can't tell what this loneliness is.

In fact, it was not until college that it really meant growth for me. There are four girls and twenty-nine boys in our class. Girls are very kind and dignified, but are they my type? In fact, this is also very good, you can read and study quietly in the university. I got good grades in middle school, so I can get into the top few without much effort, so Tsinghua is different.

There are six people in our dormitory, each of whom has a skill. I remember clearly that my upper berth was a person who was very interested in philosophy. I saw Hegel when I was a freshman. Another student went on to learn languages, English, Japanese, French and German. When we were reading and understanding, it was difficult to understand, but he secretly nodded and said that this person's writing was not bad. So you will find that many people have many specialties in all aspects.

Our class also has some Olympic gold medals in mathematics and physics, and we can always get 97,98 (points) effortlessly. Some people even got a score of 105. Do you know why there is a score of 105? Because the answer was particularly good, the professor gave five more points. But for me, it's different. I think I can work very hard, and sixty or seventy or at most eighty is good. At that time, you will find that there are many differences between learning mathematics and learning physics, and there are many talents.

However, in some singing competitions I participated in, as long as I can participate in the competition, my basic (on-the-spot) results are very good, or I am the first without modesty. So I think it's very encouraging for me.

When I graduated from college, it seemed that someone knew me better. As it turns out, Li Jian not only plays guitar every day, but also writes some works. At that time, I also held a concert after graduating from college, which let some professors know. Ah, he really learned something. What I want to say today is that only time can prove some talents to you.

But this encouragement disappears with graduation. After graduation, I went to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to be a network engineer. Like my friends today, I have all the hopes for society and the future.

It's a blow to my work. Why is it a blow? Because when you were in Tsinghua, you were called "the favored son of heaven", but in society, you are basically the most helpless person. Because you just graduated, I think you are still like this today. You find that what you do has nothing to do with what you learn.

From the beginning, I did some manual work every day, carrying water, picking up people and giving them away, and some enthusiastic older sisters always introduced you to girlfriends and so on. Be caring and attentive, of course I care about you, but their environment is still a little depressing for me, because I can't find a sense of accomplishment.

When I was most confused, my alumnus, now Lu Gengxu of Shui Mu, came to me and said, Li Jian, do you still want to sing? Do you want to sing together? It was not until the other day that he called me again and asked me this question. I said how to sing, where to sing? He said that we should be singers and we could make records, which sounded the alarm for me.

I think it's possible for me. It's another world. I can quickly escape from nine to five, but I didn't tell me that when I started as a singer, I couldn't make money and live. So I impulsively quit my job and quietly went to sing with Lu Gengxu. My family doesn't know that I don't work anymore. In fact, now that I think about it, many people will feel very arbitrary. What if you don't sing? I think young people should actually be brave. People in the past were braver than young people today. Maybe there are too many things to worry about now, you may know too much, and knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.

So I sang with Lu Gengxu, and everything was new and difficult. I go all over the country to do programs. At that time, I was very happy. I always flew and stayed in various hotels that were not very good. The hardest thing is that I don't have any singer training. For example, how to perform on the stage, I often hear people say that Shui Mu will be broadcast on tonight's program. I said, God, I must not let more people know, I must not let my mother know, but I am particularly afraid to look at myself. I was happy and tangled at that time.

But I was lucky, because (two) Tsinghua graduates made a group at that time, which attracted much attention. Nine months later, in today's words, it was the so-called red, and then won many awards. I remember the biggest award ceremony was the Star Music Station. We were the best newcomers in the Mainland, and Hong Kong and Taiwan were F4 and Edison Chen respectively. But I was very nervous when I went on stage, because I found them very popular and handsome, and Edison Chen's acting skills were also very good, so I forgot all the things I prepared before going on stage. Then I went on stage and panicked. I guess I must be out of tune, because I saw Sun Nan and Tian Zhen laughing at us, as if singing "I have you all my life". So the whole stage is completely crustily skin of head.

Making a combination is actually a test, and it takes a long time to run in. It is very difficult for me to leave Shui Mu. Because I think music is a particularly interesting thing, you can't be vague. Your records must be all your favorite songs. Maybe some songs will be questioned by others then. Just like Legend, it was such a slow song at that time, but 2003 was a very China, electronic, R&; B, it's too inappropriate. But I like it, even if no one listens, it doesn't matter if no one looks good.

I think Jay Chou has a saying that he said very well. The biggest breakthrough is no breakthrough. What a person can do is limited, but what seems to be limited can actually be done indefinitely. Just because you make this kind of music doesn't mean that all your songs are the same, you can do a lot.

People in this line of work should dilute their status as singers and stars, because you will be very painful if you keep holding on to that thing. You are always comparing, there will always be someone more handsome than you, and there will always be someone luckier than you. What you need is to get stronger gradually, and this strength also needs many opportunities.

It's hard to describe such opportunities as the Spring Festival Gala and Faye Wong. Does everyone have such opportunities? But when this opportunity gives you, as I said before, if you only have one Legend, you must have many works. All your accumulation may be prepared for such a real opportunity. In fact, many opportunities are not opportunities, and the real opportunities are only once or twice. Zhang Ailing said that fame should be early, but I think fame should be late, especially for people in this line of work. Because once you become famous, your time will be less and less, and your real accumulation will be less.

It is wrong to stand at thirty, but it is difficult to stand at thirty. So young friends don't worry too much. They can't keep thinking about this sentence as I did then. I think forty is good. It's true.

In people's growth stage, they often encounter some authority. I used to be nervous when I saw a particularly prominent director or professor, but then I slowly dispelled myself and eliminated this bad (psychological). In fact, any great person, greatness is bought with humility, really.

This road is full of countless variables. For example, you face one problem after another. When you are not famous, others will think that you want to be famous. After becoming famous, someone will ask you, what will you do next? After 20 10 years, the legend spread to thousands of households, and many people began to ask you basically the same questions. What about Faye Wong? How to find you? If Faye Wong didn't sing this song, would you still insist? The more question is, after the singer becomes famous, will he still create good works in the face of fame and fortune?

In fact, real artists, money and your so-called fame and fortune will only help and inspire you more. If you are easily knocked down by the so-called fame and fortune, then you are too fragile. I can't even hold on to this kind of thing. In fact, your fame is so lucky, or ridiculous.

Although there are no rules in this industry, there are rules to be found, that is, you should constantly remind yourself that reputation, as I said in Weibo, is the sum of misunderstandings. I think I am 39 years old this year. I was lucky. I became famous later. I think I still have a wish, which is to constantly remind my life and keep moving forward.

So I think many young friends who come here today, I am not very good at preaching, I just share my life experience. It is better to succeed in the future and then face those so-called authoritative people. Don't be too afraid. Because they walked your path today, there are as many so-called flashes as dark moments. You should always see yourself clearly, don't feel so small and don't feel so great.
