Every time I mention or see the word "dung", the first thing I think of is the song "dunge" sung by Xiaogang. I believe many people will feel like this, especially those who have had bumpy love experiences. Many of them heard this song and remembered their difficult love years. I think many people would burst into tears.
"Downhill" is a song written by Chen Xinrong and composed, arranged and sung by Zhou Chuanxiong. It is included in Zhou Chuanxiong's album "Transfer" on December 28, 2000.
Zhou Chuanxiong, also known as Xiaogang, was born in Taichung City, Taiwan Province in June 1969. His ancestral home is Hubei and is a Taiwanese pop singer in Taiwan.
Xiaogang is definitely a latecomer, why do you say that? That's because, in 1988, he participated in the "Taiwan Campus Singing Competition" and was selected as the first candidate member of the Little Tigers . Later, he gave up joining the Little Tigers due to personal reasons. When the Little Tigers became popular many years later, Xiao Gang began to become popular and was out of control. He didn't even know about his popularity in advance, and his way of becoming famous was even more unexpected.
Xiaogang's popularity is not in Taiwan, but in the mainland.
The more golden songs I wrote for others, the more accumulation they will be. Sony Records found Xiaogang and decided to release a collection of creations for him. In 2000, this collection was released in Taiwan. Unfortunately, the weather was not good. When it was released, it happened to be a change in the senior management of Sony Records and was reorganized. There was no news when the record was released. So Xiaogang told the boss that it would be fine if the contract was terminated.
However, many things in the world are like this: when you feel that mountains and rivers are full of roads, there is another village.
From May 2002, Xiaogang found that this collection of creations became popular in the mainland.
It turns out that this is true. When I heard this song, it was at the end of 2002. When I was shopping with my girlfriend in love, many audio and video stores on the bustling streets kept playing this song. When I listened to this song, I felt very romantic and beautiful. Now all this has become a memory.
In 2001, Xiaogang went to the mainland to produce the album "I Need You" for singer Man Wenjun at the invitation of the then director of Sony Music . After the album was finished, Xiaogang found that there was a pirated copy of his creation collection that was cold in Taiwan in the audio-visual store in Beijing. He thought it was strange and interesting, so he bought it as a souvenir. Unexpectedly, other record stores also found three or four different pirated versions. His curiosity became stronger and stronger, so he kept buying them, but found that there were more than a dozen pirated versions of the same record.
At the same time, different people he met were saying to him: "Your song "Down" is very popular!" At this time, he didn't believe that he and "Down" had become popular all over the country in the mainland, thinking that everyone was complimenting him.
Later, Anhui TV found his company in Taiwan and asked to record Zhou Chuanxiong's song club, and he was quite surprised again.
After being invited to Anhui, he was surprised again when he saw so many enthusiastic fans at the photography scene. Later, he went to a circle of singers and went to many places. It was not until this time that he suddenly realized that he was already a very popular singer in the mainland, and the song "Downward" was really very popular. And it is incredibly popular!
And all this is thanks to the pirated version! He walked around the mainland and found that there were more than 100 versions of his record. There are more than 5 million pirated copies in Anhui alone.
And this collection of works that has been coldly treated in Taiwan and has never been released in the mainland has brought unexpected gains to Zhou Chuanxiong in the form of pirated versions, allowing him to reappear on the stage again as a singer. How can such a life opportunity not make him sigh!
"Downhill" is a sad song, a sad love song for lovers. The lyrics describe the scene of a man and a woman breaking up, with a strong sense of picture, and are a classic sad love song.
Singer Xiaogang set a "sad" tone for the song with his sad and vicissitudes of voice, especially the climax part of the song was heartbroken, which was moving:
...
Still remember from your mouth
0 Say goodbye as firm as iron
There is an illusion of scorching sun in the dark
The horizon of dusk
Downlight
…
Do you still remember Xiaogang and his "Downlight"?
Do you still remember the climax part of the song "Down"?
Do you still remember your love experience like "Downhill"?
Before I knew it, it has been fifteen or sixteen years since I first heard this song on the street.
