Dapeng Black Panther band
2013 July 16, Black Panther band, who hasn't released an album for 9 years, made another attack and released the sixth Qvanxian Zhang album "Who Are We" since the band was founded 26 years ago.
The new Panther is not only an album by Qvanxian Zhang, but also a brand-new band. With the birth of this album, Black Panther band also announced that they have a new lead singer: Welly Zhang, a post-80s singer.
This is the 10 lead singer changed by Panther in 26 years. So when Welly Zhang appeared, many people asked reflexively: Will Welly Zhang be the last lead singer of Black Panther? When will Panther change the lead singer? 10 lead singer for 26 years, why do you always change people?
The prototype of Panther came from an electro-acoustic orchestra of Daxing Welfare Factory in Beijing in 1987, when Guo Yong, the first manager of Panther, saved him. Next, they decided to leave Daxing, and together with Ding Wu, who had worked hard in the rock circle for many years, they formed a band called Panthers, with Ding Wu as the lead singer.
At that time, they did not expect that this name became the most popular name of Chinese rock music four years later, and it is still an important name in the history of Chinese rock music. At this time, Ding Wu, the former lead singer of the band, quit Panther on 1988 and became the lead singer of the Tang Dynasty band, while Dou Wei, the new lead singer, joined in 1988.
Black Panther band's initial glory came from the period when Dou Wei was the lead singer. In August, 199 1, Black Panther band's first album Black Panther was tentatively released in Hong Kong. Unexpectedly, it topped the charts of Radio Television Hong Kong for several weeks in a row, and then caused quite a piracy craze in Chinese mainland, and immediately became the highest-selling rock band in the Chinese-speaking world. The album's "Don'tBreakMyHeart" and "Ashamed" have also become famous songs sung by young people in China.
Dou Wei, the lead singer and songwriter, also became the undisputed soul figure in Black Panther band at that time, and then this soul figure announced his retirement from Panther after its first taste of glory. When he left, he took away another member of the band, Luan Shu's girlfriend Faye Wong, which is said to be the main reason why Dou Wei left.
With the departure of Dou Wei, Luan Shu, whose girlfriend was robbed, was pushed from the keyboard player of Panther to the position of lead singer. Luan Shu, who has a good singing and musical sense, has lived up to expectations. 1993, he released Black Panther band's second album, Panther II: God of Light, which was also well received. However, in 1994, Luan Shu also announced that he had left Panther and began to concentrate on equestrian and personal music creation. Luan Shu's departure made the band start to collapse. 1994, Telly joined Black Panther band as the lead singer, and once she sang 1 1 year, she became the longest-serving lead singer in Black Panther band. However, during the period of 1 1 when Telly was the lead singer, the three albums released by Black Panther band didn't have much response, and were even called "bad reviews". In 2005, Qin Yong and Panther broke up peacefully, and the new lead singer was replaced by Zhang Ke, a traditional China opera actor.
In the next eight years, Zhang Ke was the lead singer of Black Panther band. During these eight years, Black Panther band didn't release any albums. 20 13 1 when Black Panther band finally decided to release his sixth album, he announced during the recording that the lead singer Zhang Ke _ was changed to Welly Zhang.
At this time, Welly Zhang was the tenth lead singer of Black Panther band. In addition to the above-mentioned six singers, Luan Shu Wei, Mahta Le, Chyi Chin and Liu Zhengrong also served as the lead singers of Black Panther. At present, Black Panther band consists of Welly Zhang, Thomas Lee, Wang Wenjie, Zhao Mingyi and Peng Hui.
Why does a band change the lead singer so often? When choosing Welly Zhang instead of Zhang Ke, Panther Bander explained that he could not accurately express Panther's creative intention. Regarding the departure of the lead singer before, the drummer, who has been a band manager since Guo, explained: "Over the years, some people have left because of this, some people have left to pursue their own musical dreams, and some people need tolerance in life besides music, so some members have become * * * because we can't reach an understanding in life. The rock band chose the draft pick, why Welly Zhang?
When Panther announced that Welly Zhang would take over as the tenth lead singer, the industry and fans were shocked. The reasons for the shock are: first, except Peng Hui, who was born in 1978, all the other members of the band are born after 60, while Welly Zhang is born after 80; 2. Welly Zhang, born in 198 1, has always been regarded as a pop singer who sings bars, learns to dance and acts in film and television dramas. In 2007, he participated in the first draft of Fast Man and was selected as one of the Top Ten in Xi 'an. Do singers with this background match the rock music of Panther?
Not only did the public question it, but even Welly Zhang himself was dubious when he received thomas lee's invitation to join Panther's WeChat. It's not the first time that Welly Zhang and Panther met. In 2007, Black Panther band invited Welly Zhang to record songs for the TV movie A Farewell to Love. "At that time, I told Tong Ge that I wanted to be the lead singer of Panther." However, this request was rejected by Panther. Thomas lee said that Panther had no intention of changing the lead singer at that time. Six years later, when Black Panther band recorded his fifth album, "after recording the band, he found some problems and made some adjustments to the band." Zhao Mingyi said. Then, Thomas Lee called Welly Zhang, who once worked together, and said that he would take the band to the bar where Welly Zhang worked to listen to him sing. At that time, Welly Zhang thought the Panthers were just looking for him to sing harmony or something. Until the beginning of 65438+ 10, he received three wechat messages from thomas lee to the effect that Panther is recording the latest album, which is Panther's biggest investment so far, and he found two Grammy producers. Now he has encountered some problems in the recording process and has not continued recording. Then ask him, "Are you interested in recording the new album Panther?"
At that time, Welly Zhang listened to this "feeling or not" as "dare". After knowing Thomas Lee's real intention, he didn't reply immediately. After much deliberation, he resolutely accepted the invitation and became the tenth lead singer of Black Panther, and immediately devoted himself to the recording of the album. Finally, on July 16, the newly adjusted Black Panther band officially released its sixth album "Who Are We" since its establishment 26 years ago. It is said that when Panther is considering replacing a new lead singer, the only person to consider is Welly Zhang, but why him? Thomas Lee said that they didn't really care what kind of songs Welly Zhang sang in his past experience. "Those are not his own characteristics. Last time we worked together, I felt from that slow song that he was especially suitable for Black Panther band, because our music not only needed that kind of strength, but also had a beautiful and catchy melody, which required an emotional and emotional expression, which many domestic rock singers could not do at present. I feel good about Welly Zhang. As soon as his voice came out, that kind of magnetism, that kind of method, that kind of gas field, I immediately realized that this was what Panther wanted. "
Zhao Mingyi also mentioned that, most importantly, the music that Welly Zhang listened to in recent years and his own singing habit are the most popular singing methods in foreign bands. The appearance of Welly Zhang helped them solve one of the most important problems in their previous recording work. "As a result, he caught the part that the author hoped he could complete in his creation, but he didn't catch the intention as accurately as Dapeng did before. This is the knowledge we have reached with the producers. When the post-60 s meet the post-80 s, who will adapt to whom?
When Black Panther band was founded, the new lead singer Welly Zhang was only 6 years old. Twenty-six years later, he was selected by several uncles born in the 1960s and became their new member. No one can turn a blind eye to the age gap in the past 20 years. How can this combination of post-60 s and post-80 s cross the generation gap and realize the harmonious integration of groups in these 20 years?
As an active party, people first pay attention to the attitude of Panthers after 1960s to Welly Zhang after 1980s, after all, they are preconceived. Before the release of the new album, Black Panther band first exposed the album's first title song "We" through the Internet. With the simultaneous exposure of the title song and the new shape of the band, people are surprised to find that several old gun gods, Thomas Lee, Wang Wenjie and Zhao Mingyi, have actually blown out the hairstyle of "handsome man", and Welly Zhang, as the new lead singer, is like Kimura Takuya. While being questioned as "act young", some people regard the change of Panther's style as the initiative approach and goodwill of the post-60s owners to the post-80s newcomers. As an agent, Zhao Mingyi denied this statement. He said that the main purpose of the band to choose this new style is to better respect the fans. "This time we attach great importance to style, so we invited a very good styling team and photography team in Beijing, because we are advancing with the times with our fans. We don't want everyone to think that Chinese rock and roll is sloppy, that is, poor, and people can't see hope. These albums show why I'm still not hot. We don't want this. We have to respect our fans and ourselves, so we have to invest financial resources and mobilize the whole team to make such an album. "
Many people think that Panther's first connection with Welly Zhang was that Welly Zhang once sang a pop song. Panther thinks that Welly Zhang's own music has a good feel and high voice recognition, which coincides with the tune that Panther needs. However, after Welly Zhang joined, he did not immediately put into album recording, but rehearsed some old songs first. "By rehearsing these old songs, we can both find a solution to the problem." Although it is only a short month, he has made great progress since he really entered the work of Panther. "
Look at Welly Zhang again. After all, he is a latecomer, a junior. Should he take the initiative to adapt to the famous panther? In view of the fact that Panther changed her former lead singer because she couldn't accurately express her creative intention, how can Welly Zhang, born in 1980s, cross this generation gap? Welly Zhang thinks that age is not a problem between him and Panther. "Because what I have listened to for so many years is very similar to what my brothers listened to, including the music they made, I don't need to find another place to study hard. Panther is a popular rock music based on classic rock music, so as long as you have heard it, as long as you know what they want, you can reach that state at any time, everyone does. Zhao Mingyi also said that the combination of Welly Zhang and Panther is perfect. " In fact, his style is the style of Panther music. "Welly Zhang can become the soul of panther like Dou Wei?
When this print interviewed Qin Yong, the former lead singer of Panther, it revealed that he didn't have much right to speak when he was in Panther, and later he left more or less for some reasons. So, as a new member and a junior who is nearly 20 years younger, will Welly Zhang encounter the same situation as Terry? In the interview, all members of Black Panther band denied this possibility. Many media who interviewed the new Panther later said that Thomas Lee and Zhao Mingyi were the main spokesmen in the interview, but when interviewed by this magazine, although Thomas Lee and Zhao Mingyi still dominated, the proportion of Welly Zhang's opening increased significantly. Welly Zhang also told reporters in particular: "When you watch the interview, they all try to let me talk more." He also praised his brothers for their tolerance. Even if they found his problems and serious injuries, they all said "can you do this" and never told him "you have to do that".
Who really has the right to speak in Black Panther band? In the first glorious period of Panther, Dou Wei was the "soul figure" of Panther, and Dou Wei's personal light even overshadowed Black Panther band, so that many fans even thought that Panther was no longer a Panther after Dou Wei left. After Dou Wei, Black Panther band, the manager Zhao Mingyi, is said to have a real say in the band. Where's Captain Thomas Lee?
In an interview with the magazine, Thomas Lee denied that he was the captain, but he admitted: "When it comes to leaders, Zhao Mingyi is the leader. Generally speaking, he is responsible for external liaison and talks about performances and brokers. " Zhao Mingyi also admitted that he was the one who often said "must" in the band. "For example, tomorrow morning 1 1: 30, everyone must meet at the airport", and the next direction of the band mainly depends on him. In addition, Zhao Mingyi, who has successfully held large-scale rock concerts such as "In Full Bloom", has begun to plan a tour of Black Panther band. "The operation of the band is between Zhao Mingyi and the company. We don't think so much about music, but we do our own music and do our own thing. " Thomas Lee said.
Who is in charge of directing music? One of the important reasons why Panther frequently changed the lead singer before was whether he could grasp the band's creative intention, and who decided this creative intention? Zhao Mingyi said that in terms of music, Panther has always implemented the system of collective leadership. "In the past, everyone handed in samples or ideas of music, and then we rehearsed them repeatedly. After that, we held several auditions, with the participation of our band and the intervention of record companies. Every audition is attended by 20 people, as well as the media field, and finally comprehensive evaluation. "
Usually in music, the lead singer of a band is regarded as the soul of the band, but after Dou Wei, no lead singer has really become the "soul" of Panther. Is it possible to join the new Zhang Qi?
Thomas lee said: "In the performance of music, the lead singer of a band must be the core, which is no problem, because most people, especially the audience, don't know much about music. He is not a professional, but basically listens to the singing and lyrics, and the way of conveying the lyrics needs the lead singer to complete. This must be the core of musical expression, that's for sure. " Will there be a 1 1 lead singer after Welly Zhang?
From this perspective, Black Panther band obviously holds a positive, inclusive and enthusiastic attitude towards Welly Zhang. But after all, Black Panther band joined the army for 26 years and changed 10 lead singer, which is very rare and impressive in the whole mainland rock history. People will inevitably ask: Is Welly Zhang a temporary or permanent lead singer? Will the Panthers have 1 1 lead singer immediately after Welly Zhang?
Welly Zhang said, "I won't consider others first. I think about myself first. Can I do what I am good at? If I do, I believe they will not replace me. "
Since the band's latest album "Who Are We", Welly Zhang's outstanding voice performance has been not only accepted by Black Panther band, but also widely recognized by the audience. In fact, in the past ten years, Welly Zhang has been recognized as a good voice in the industry. As early as 2002, he signed a single with Wen Jing Records. Before joining Panther, he was the music director of the famous "Boys and Girls" bar. He is only 32 years old this year, and then he really wants to be tied up with a few post-60 s and be his uncle for life.
Faced with this problem, Welly Zhang said that after joining Panther, he had completely given up the plan of "one-on-one fight" and was ready to "fight in groups" with his brothers. However, there is no desire in my heart. Maybe one day in the future, will I release Welly Zhang's solo album? Do you know how many singers have the greatest desire?
"Their brother can trust me and let me be the lead singer. First of all, I know I won't do it. I don't think it's decent or elegant to do so. Everyone wants to have their own personal album, but that must be agreed by all the brothers. Many people want to release an album alone, but whether it is suitable or not is another question. Moreover, I feel that I have felt infinite enthusiasm and tolerance since I joined this band for half a year. Then why do I have to send one outside myself, or do I have to prove that I can still do that after so many years? I don't think so. I think it can be reflected in this band.
