I climbed mountains and mountains for you

Liang Zhen and Judah only finalized it a week before entering the recording studio. Their hook used "Zhejiang Wenzhou Jiangnan Leather Factory Closed".

Judah made this decision first, because he saw some interesting comments in the comment area of ​​Netease Cloud. For example, a friend named Wang San BB heard the real economy from the lyrical version of this song. Withered, there is nowhere to appeal for the rights of migrant workers, the pain of the transformation of the private manufacturing industry, and the imperfect limited liability system of enterprises and other profound problems.

Judah's first reaction when he saw this comment was that it was nonsense, how could he hear so many things in a song Jiangnan Tannery, but after he also looped this song single for a whole day, he also had to admit that he learned from it. Hear the taste of writing sadness.

And that sadness is not for the yellow crane in reality. A song is also a literary work. When it is created, what the creator wants to express is the same thing, and what the people who hear empathize with is completely personal. experienced and understood.This song comes from reality. There is indeed a Jiangnan leather factory in Wenzhou, and Huang He, the legal person of the leather factory, did run away after bankruptcy. But if we change our thinking, we can regard "Yellow Crane" and "Jiangnan Leather Factory" as private enterprises in Wenzhou. A microcosm and symbol of decades, rather than real people and things, this song is higher than reality.

This made Judah think of what Liang Zhen said. A really good comedy can make people hear tragedy. You can cry when you can laugh and laugh. After a whole day of looping the lyrical version of "Jiangnan Tannery", Judah also From this song, I can hear the powerlessness of an ordinary foreigner after the passage of time. When he substitutes himself into those migrant workers whose bosses run away and can only earn money for traveling home by selling their wallets cheaply, this feeling of powerlessness will be felt. It made Judah feel guilty. This city gave him pride, but it also mistreated and let down many foreigners who came to Wenzhou to make a living.

And those people should not be forgotten.

When the remix of Jiangnan Tannery became a consensus, the two simply changed their verses, not to say that they are broken, but since they are going to go to "comedy rap", it is really absurd to the end, to try so A creation that no one has tried in years.For this reason, Liang Zhen specially visited several places where outsiders gathered in Mushan Street, and Gao Yunxiao took him there. In the past few days, Liang Zhen met and communicated with people from all over the world than he met in school. many.After the interview, he selected the three most typical interviewees, and after writing the lyrics, they became the "I".After the little character Wenzhou story, which lasted about one and a half minutes, Liang Zhen joined the hook of the Jiangnan Leather Factory, and then the Jewish verse. After three days of continuous recording with the Jewish in the recording studio, Liang Zhen couldn’t hold it anymore. He paused and wanted to squint for a while, looking at Judah who was still changing the lyrics, he suddenly felt that some of what he had said was still biased.

He thought that Wenzhou might not have so many representative singers in the past, but there are a group of Jewish people in Wenzhou now and in the future. Their efforts and talents are the pride of the city, and one day they will rush out of Wenzhou and let everyone Everyone saw the new look of the city.

Despite putting a lot of thought into it, "New Jiangnan Tannery" is really the least technical song that Liang Zhen has ever produced. He didn't even mix it, and it's so simple that it's too real.But when he was arranging the album, he put the song "New Jiangnan Tannery" in the second place. He thought it was the most important song in the whole album after "Crossing Mountains and Mountains".

At first this sequence worried Judah a little.This is Liang Zhen's first album, and it's better to be steady instead of putting such a "heterogeneous" song in such a position.

Liang Zhen could understand, and also knew that Judah was really worried that this song would get a lot of negative comments, and worried that the emotion they wanted to express, similar to "this city has not forgotten the hard-working foreigner", would not be captured by the audience.

In other words, how many people will be able to hear the seriousness and sadness under the surface of this "comedy rap", and when this song is actually released, how many people will be ridiculed in its comment area, saying that such a song is also considered hip hop.

"This is hip-hop," Liang Zhen didn't waver at all, "What we wrote and sang are all things that happened in Wenzhou, this is hip-hop."

"And as long as it is true enough, it can move people, and some people will be willing to dig out the deep meaning behind the song."

Before the album was released, Liang Zhen thought about creating a song cover for "New Jiangnan Leather Factory", because this song is completely different from Liang Zhen's previous style, and also has a very different tone from other songs in the album. He wanted to make a distinction. But Liang Zhen didn't have any idea about what the cover would look like. After hearing it, Shao Mingyin suggested going to Mushan Street to take pictures. After all, the migrant workers in Liang Zhen's lyrics lived here.

So on a certain Sunday afternoon, Shao Mingyin and Liang Zhen, who were taking turns off, rode a Wenzhou public bicycle, aimlessly passing through every village in the district of this street.

It was actually Liang Zhen's first time riding a public bicycle in Wenzhou. After being with Shao Mingyin, he couldn't count how many firsts he had.It was also the beginning of May, and the wind blowing head-on while riding a bicycle still carried a hint of coolness, driving the evergreen camphor leaves on the roadside to rustle.This is the best and most beautiful season in the south. When Liang Zhen dared to open his arms to embrace the spring breeze, his navy blue and gray plaid shirt was blown up.

Then he will stop, like the brakes of a four-wheel drive car after drifting, Liang Zhen will step on the floor with one foot and still step on the pedal, with half of his body facing Shao Mingyin who is following behind, waiting for Shao Mingyin to catch up slowly , he accelerated and rode forward cheerfully, anyway, he must ride in front of Shao Mingyin.

He stopped in front of a factory ruin, and he took a picture. Shao Mingyin said that there are many such ruins in Mushan Street, and Liang Zhen had a whim, thinking of taking pictures of each of them, and then splicing them into a whole picture. song cover.

So Shao Mingyin took him there, and just rode ahead. He was so familiar with this street and this town that he could even remember clearly which illegal buildings on the farmland were demolished and left unattended.At first, Liang Zhen would play around with him, so he insisted on riding next to his bicycle.

But Liang Zhen didn't smile so happily at the beginning. After taking pictures of about seven or eight ruins, Shao Mingyin was going to ride to the next place. He originally thought that Liang Zhen would keep up. After pedaling for two laps, he Looking back, he found that Liang Zhen was still standing in front of the ruins.

"Liang Zhen?" Shao Mingyin called him, then pushed his bicycle and walked over to Liang Zhen's side.

Liang Zhen didn't respond, but bent down and squatted with his knees bent.His hands passed through the overgrown weeds that grew unscrupulously on the land, and he stood up straight again, holding a handful of soil in his hands.

It was the southern soil, black and wet. Liang Zhen sniffed it closely, and he smelled the unique fragrance of vegetation. He looked at the southern soil that nourished a large piece of greenery even though it was deserted. He said It would be great if such land was in Lanzhou.

——If such a wet and fertile land were in the arid Lanzhou, no one would be willing to build reinforced concrete on it.

But people's hearts are all the same. When the visible benefits are in front of them, who will consider the feelings of the land.

When the illegal bricks and tiles are leveled and crushed by the excavators of the demolition team and then fall into the fertile fields, will the fertile fields also feel pain?

Liang Zhen asked Shao Mingyin, how many ruins like this are there?

Shao Mingyin didn't answer right away, as if the calculation failed, he told Liang Zhen that it was quite a lot.

Is no one in charge?

It's useless, no one cares.

Liang Zhen clenched the soil tightly, and when he opened his palm again, he looked at the traces of the soil embedded in his palm, and wondered if the land, like people, felt pain after passive transformation and abandonment.

If people feel pain when they are abandoned, some people will write and sing to remember the pain, then the land feels pain when it is abandoned, but they can’t even shout.

That day Shao Mingyin took Liang Zhen to take pictures of the ruins of more than 40 illegal buildings on the farmlands in Mushan Street, which was just enough for Liang Zhen to put together a cover. At the moment of editing and uploading, Liang Zhen suddenly felt hesitant, even though he knew He would definitely put "New Jiangnan Leather Factory" in the album, but for a moment, he would also hesitate to take this song down.

Then Shao Mingyin said, click to upload.

"Tell me, will there be many people talking about the sand sculpture of this song tomorrow?"

Shao Mingyin didn't directly answer whether he would or not, he just told Liang Zhen that you are doing something very meaningful.

Shao Mingyin said that this song and the feelings contained in it are given to you by Wenzhou, and the "I" in it is also a part of you, which is the proof that you have lived in this city.

Shao Mingyin said, you have to believe that those who understand will naturally understand.

Liang Zhen smiled and clicked to upload.

Liang Zhen's digital album was uploaded in the early morning, and after it was uploaded, he fell asleep with Shao Mingyin in his arms. Rappers seldom rely on albums to make money, and Liang Zhen is the same, he doesn’t care about the sales volume. He insists on releasing a digital album just to satisfy his own little wish. From today on, he is also a person with albums. The two words have also been renamed justifiably.So Liang Zhen never expected that when he woke up the next day and looked at his phone, the sales of backstage albums would reach triple digits.

Liang Zhen's first reaction was that there was a navy. He looked at his phone and then at Shao Mingyin. Although he was very excited, he still didn't wake him up. Even if he woke up, he didn't know that his first sentence should be to tell him the sales of the album. The good news is to ask Shao Mingyin if he bought a navy for himself.

So while Shao Mingyin was still half asleep and half awake, Liang Zhen turned to the background of the app to find out who bought his album. As expected, there were dozens of accounts who bought dozens of albums.

But the dozen or so IDs are very unique, and they all have the same keyword, Liang Zhen gets more and more depressed the more he looks at it, and he reads it out as soon as he gets depressed.

"I love geography?"

Shao Mingyin had almost woken up too. After hearing Liang Zhen's voice, he let out a nasal "Huh?" and opened his eyes. Liang Zhen showed him the IDs.

"Geography makes me happy?" Shao Mingyin also read out, "Geography makes me sublimate. I choose 100 out of [-] geography to get [-], and I want to get A in geography..." Shao Mingyin turned down and looked at the dozens. There are geographical IDs in each name, and asked Liang Zhen: "What's going on here?"

"I don't know either," Liang Zhen felt as if he had found the money for nothing, "This student who loves geography? He bought more than 500 albums of me by changing his ID."

Liang Zhen no longer speculates that the water army is Shao Mingyin. He is now wondering if it is Song Zhou, but if it is Song Zhou, then the ID should also be "I love Gao Yunge", "Gao Yunge makes me happy", "Gao Yunge please look at me more"...

"I know who it is, it should be Xue Meng," Shao Mingyin said, burying his face in the quilt again, not wanting to get up, "His head teacher teaches geography."

Liang Zhen never expected that it would be Xue Meng, whom he had not seen for a long time, but when he clicked on the comment section of the new song, he saw that the ID who loves geography posted several "rainbow" and "breathing" emojis in succession. The next one is Xue Meng.

Liang really thought it would be nice to have a Wenzhou local tyrant fan who couldn't blow rainbow farts and was so poor that he only had money left. He was having fun in his heart. He yawned heavily, and the physiological tears that overflowed from the corners of his eyes also stained his eyelashes.

This was completely different from the usual Shao Mingyin, and only Liang Zhen had seen this unsuspecting appearance. Liang Zhen became hot in an instant, and got under the covers to argue with Shao Mingyin again, asking him for a reward.This made Shao Mingyin, who was never late for work, arrive at the police station at noon. Seeing his satisfied face, Zhao Baogang wanted to persuade him that young people should be temperate, but when he saw Shao Mingyin smiling like that—he To put it bluntly, he could see that Shao Mingyin's state was completely different from the previous three years before he knew it.

When he saw Shao Mingyin smiling like that, he could only temporarily bury the bitterness and reluctance of cabbage in his heart.And when one day Zhao Baogang heard Liang Zhen's "New Jiangnan Tannery" from a certain WeChat public account, he saw that article that was as rigorous as a paper analyzed in detail the absurdity and truth in this song and the lyrics With the humanistic care behind it, Zhao Baogang still said that he felt that rapping was unreliable, but in private he would secretly listen to what songs Liang Zhen had sung.

And Liang Zhen is indeed on fire, in the underground circle.

With the help of "Liangzhou Ci" and that battle competition, Liang Zhen had a small hit last year, but it was not considered a climate.When everyone thought that he would continue to make steady progress in his skills and vocal advantages, Liang Zhen released the songs "New Jiangnan Leather Factory" and "Crossing Mountains and Mountains".The evaluation of the previous song was polarized until many years later. Some people thought it was good, while others felt that Liang Zhen was opportunistic and pretentious. No matter what kind of argument Liang Zhen said, Liang Zhen never responded.Until many years later, Liang Zhen, who is already a veritable OG (original Gangstar, also known as Lao Pao) in the talking circle, talked about this song. Based on his age and experience, he would say that writing lyrics is actually writing poetry.

You will write for the girl you love, you will write to express your feelings, and you will write to leave some proof of existence... There are thousands of reasons for writing poetry, but when you write and finish, your readers will really read from this poem. What is read in the poem, the most empathetic part is actually from their own personal experiences and stories.So compared with or blunt preaching and preaching, the truth is more touching.Compared with direct telling, frank display may evoke a deeper resonance-this is the power of poetry and songs, which is also the power of words in essence.

This also makes Liang Zhen face other derivative problems. For example, he is often asked, if according to his statement, is there another person who can walk into the spiritual home of the creator, not asking for [-]% empathy, but at least able to Let you not regret using the word "fit" to describe it.Liang Zhen would laugh every time he encountered such a problem, and the answer he gave never changed, that is, he was very lucky.

I am very lucky, Liang Zhendao, not only to have such a person, but also to have him by my side from the very beginning.

That is Liang Zhen many years later, his love for music and creation has never changed, just like the 20-year-old boy with a youthful heart. Although 20-year-old Liang Zhen is embarrassed to say that he is writing poetry, he has already written a song that he is satisfied with and has been recognized by the outside world.Among them, the popularity of "Crossing Mountains and Mountains" is completely beyond Liang Zhen's imagination.The most indispensable thing in the rap circle is "Over the Mountains and Over the Mountains", which talks about dreams and the future, but the most lacking is also "Over the Mountains and Over the Mountains", such rappers who can sing their own hooks and sing well.And when countless fans became fans of Liang Zhen because of this gentle song, they swiped the screen in the comment area and left "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow" In a small rental house less than [-] square meters, lying on the bed with his lover and looking at the same mobile phone, one person held the other and scrolled down the comments. There is such a nice hook" After Shao Mingyin would laugh, Liang Zhen would lean into his ear and hum the melody of the chorus to him alone...

Liang Zhen's singing became popular, and Liang Zhen also started to arrange tours.Under the co-planning of Judaism, Liang Zhen lined up five cities for his first tour, all in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai free shipping areas, from July to early August, and the last stop was Wenzhou.When everything is in place, Liang Zhen still has half a month to spare. He wanted to take a good rest, but when he thought about the [-] album money that Xue Meng spent, Liang Zhen always felt that he would shoot for "New Jiangnan Leather Factory". mv.

In order to reflect the newness, Liang Zhen decided to wear a dreadlock.
