Wednesday

On Wednesday, the original singer, born in Qujing, Yunnan Province, was a former highway toll collector and the owner of Lijiang restaurant. He took part in the first season of Chinese good songs and won the competition of tutors with "a singer's love letter".

Personal experience

Before the age of 27, he was watching people coming and going at the highway toll station. After the age of 27, he quit his job and went out singing with his guitar. Because of the lack of security in life, the girls only wanted to fall in love with him, but they didn't want to marry him. Maybe it's the rough experience on the love road that makes the music on Wednesday full of bitterness and helplessness. On the stage of "good Chinese songs", he simply sang "a singer's love letter" with an acoustic guitar on Wednesday, but it moved everyone. Yang Kun said that this is the simplest song ever recorded by "good song", which is "simple and simple, without singing skills, but distracted". On Wednesday, Tsai said, "your music is very much like Bob Dylan.".

As the soul of American folk rock music, Bob Dylan's works are always full of light sadness, even sometimes full of pain and despair. When performing, Bob Dylan also likes to hold an acoustic guitar, with a similar husky voice and sincere expression. Wednesday is a "Chinese version of Bob Dylan" worthy of it.

On January 3, 2014, a good Chinese song on CCTV-3, a love letter from a singer, won the competition of four original special tutors.

Love song story

A singer's love letter: laughing and tears

In the middle of the night, sleepless, I searched the Internet for videos of good Chinese songs that are said to have a good reputation, so as to pass the time while waiting for the meeting with Duke Zhou. The program is pretty good. I didn't expect that CCTV could produce this kind of entertainment program without any official tone. No Wei Guang Zheng, no tall, only moving songs.

Finally, it's time for a singer called Wednesday to sing. I subconsciously thought: Wednesday? It's not a popular name. I wish it was weekend.

A guitar, a harmonica, a middle-aged man with greasy hair. Playing and singing in the middle of the grand stage. The name of the song is a singer's love letter. A mouth, strong local accent. Sitting at this end of the computer, I frowned.

Simple chords, single tunes, crumbling lyrics, sound like a rough semi-finished product. This singer is definitely coming to be funny. He looks so stupid that he sings platitudes. I even suspect that he is imitating Zuo Xiaozu's curse. But listen to listen to, but feel touched by what the heart, there is a general, inexplicably moved. This kind of moving with a kind of inexplicable do not know where the sadness, to tell you the truth, up to now I do not know why there is such an inexplicable mood. So I couldn't help replaying the song again and again, sleepless.

In fact, I understand very well that people who can go to CCTV and this good Chinese song, including their identity and background, are definitely not ordinary people. But this song still forcibly reminds me of countless kinds of sad pictures. After a song, I feel like crying, as if I have heard a helpless and lonely story about love bread. I can't evaluate the skill and level of this song, but it moved me so inexplicably. What's more, it came from a CCTV program. It has been said that pure music will touch people's hearts. Perhaps it is because this song is too simple, so it simply points to the heart.

The time of this song may be too short for the singer, but it is too long for me. Long to let me indulge in the song to create the kind of helpless atmosphere, unable to extricate themselves. I have to admit that music is really a magic thing. I don't know when it will enchant you. Good music doesn't have to be high pitched or deep-rooted. It's just that simple lyrics and emphasis can be so moving.

I really believe that music has a soul. Just like this song, it's not just about your pain and struggle, but also your hope.

The fate of good songs

On the stage of "China's good songs", she was finally put by four tutors on Wednesday, and Cai Jianya praised him as China's Bob Dylan. So, how was the former highway toll collector discovered?

It is understood that Wednesday was brought into "good songs" by Wu QunDa, deputy director of "good songs of China" from Lijiang. Referring to the feeling of seeing Wednesday for the first time, Wu QunDa said: it's very confusing.

When Wu QunDa first came to Yunnan, he still selected students for the voice of China. Because he was not familiar with the place of life, he asked several friends to recommend him. All of them recommended "Third Master" to her. What they called "Third Master" was Wednesday. When the director saw the real man, he found that he was not only a bit dull in appearance, but also could not speak clearly. He was disappointed. Later, by chance, the director group heard "a singer's love letter" sung on Wednesday. He tried to invite Wednesday to "the voice of China". On Wednesday, he refused, saying that he had no confidence in his own voice and the director didn't force him. When "good Chinese songs" began to be prepared, the director was the first to think of Wednesday, which was really his stage.

The story of Wednesday

Outside the recording scene of "good Chinese songs", two female directors are crying on the monitor. In the monitor, a song is almost over, but there is no picture of a tutor putting a putt for this person. He is an excellent writer they met from Yunnan. They can't accept the ending.

After the song, they came back to the scene with tears on their faces, and all the colleagues in the scene were red eyed. The female director muttered to herself: "why didn't the tutor push it?" Colleagues looked at her in surprise: "four tutors have pushed ah, we were moved by the song to cry." It turns out that the director has always forgotten to switch the picture of the tutor's putter.

The live monitor missed the picture of the instructor putting the putter for the player, but the CCTV 3 screen won't let the audience miss this piece of music jade. The player who made the backstage directors cry was the one who sang "a singer's love letter" from Lijiang, Yunnan Province to the stage of "good song" after more than 30 years. His residence in Lijiang, Yunnan Province is a famous "river and lake bar", and he also has a famous name in the local area, called "Third Master".

When interviewing the director who brought Wednesday from Lijiang to "good song", she told us about her confusion when she first met Wednesday. When the director went to Yunnan for the first time, she selected students for the voice of China. Because she was not familiar with the place of life, she asked several friends to recommend him. All of them recommended "Third Master" to her and praised him as "very powerful and excellent".

But the "Third Master" people were very enthusiastic. In Yunnan, he accompanied several directors to more than 20 bars. When you enter every bar, people in the bar shout "Third Master" respectfully on Wednesday. The director can't help wondering why this "Third Master" is so respected but so low-key? It was not until the director group went to his own quack bar on Wednesday that song Jing's doubts were finally solved.

In the river lake bar, the director group originally went to listen to some resident singers and his partner Komatsu on Wednesday. When Komatsu was singing, he played the guitar for him on Wednesday. The director still remembers Komatsu's aura when he was singing, which immediately made everyone focus on him, making the next Wednesday like a little musician playing the guitar. After listening to their singing, the remaining people in the bar began to coax and asked me to sing a song on Wednesday, so he sang the song "a singer's love letter" which later appeared on the stage of "good song". There were only a few people in the bar. Just like what was later shown in the "good song" program, "the third master" held his guitar and had no other musical instruments to accompany him. He was heartless and told a simple and sincere love song.

At that time, the third sister-in-law was still pregnant, and she was listening to her husband's singing with her baby. Half of the time, she got up and went to the door. The director saw her back to everyone, sobbing in depression. The director described how she felt when she first heard the song "a singer's love letter": "at that time, we finally knew where his charm was, it was in the music."

When he came to Shanghai for audition on Wednesday, it was his first time to use a professional studio. When he came out of the studio, he trembled nervously and kept blaming himself, saying, "I can't use this. I can't sing well." At that time, when the "good song" directing group communicated with all the musicians participating in the competition, they would remind them to take the stage seriously and not to be lax. Only on Wednesday, they never had to remind him, because he was serious enough about music.

The director still remembers that after the end of the first video, she called the third sister-in-law and asked her how she was feeling. The third sister-in-law said that she was very good and very happy. When asked about the mood of the "Third Master", the third sister-in-law said that he was OK. He always said that he didn't sing well after he went home. All four big names chose Wednesday, but he still blamed himself for his nervous little mistake in the performance. "It's respect for the music itself," the director said.

The charm of Wednesday

"Who is this Yunnan man?" "I'm so touched by his songs!" Last Friday, the premiere of "China's good songs", the original song "a singer's love letter" by a singer from Qujing of Yunnan Province on Wednesday, not only made Cai Jianya, the tutor, burst into tears on the spot, but also attracted hot discussion on the Internet: "how can there be such a direct hit song!" A few days ago, the reporter interviewed the Yunnan singer, for being four
