He is a very influential singer in the music industry. He has a wild appearance, but a very gentle heart.
Mayday invited him to be a guest at the concert for 10 years.
He is Wu Bai, the "godfather of Taiwan rock".
In 2020, Wu Bai was on the hot search list because of the popularity of a TV series "I Want to See You".
Because his classic song "last dance" runs through the play, perhaps even Wu Bai did not expect that his songs could influence several generations.
In fact, long before Wu Bai's song was mentioned by everyone again, he was a very important person in the music industry.
As it was mentioned again, the People's Daily also named Wu Bai's "reality", so where is his "reality"?
He can hold a concert in a wheelchair, and two electric fans are enough to handle the scene.
does not require enthusiastic language to drive the audience, Wu Bai is enough to touch people's hearts with pure music.
His father is an ordinary worker, and his mother often sets up stalls on the street. He is the eldest in the family and has two younger brothers.
Wu Bai has loved literature and art since he was a child, especially painting and music. Due to his grandfather's promise, he would buy him a bicycle if he got the full mark.
So Wu Bai began his career as a top student. Because he had five courses in total, all of them were full marks, and he was nicknamed "Wu Bai" by his classmates.
As he grew older, Wu Bai also reached the age of high school. He could have successfully passed the college entrance examination, but an accident happened.
In the third year of high school, Wu Bai delayed a lot of his studies due to the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, which led to the failure of the college entrance examination.
He was very disappointed with this, but his parents did not have much expectations for him, and just hoped that he could be a postman nearby and live a stable life.
But Wu Bai, who has loved art since childhood, has been determined to go out and seek other ways out.
So he chose to go north and came to a big city.
Wu Bai, who came to Taipei for the first time, also experienced the bumps and bumps of his life. In order to survive, he had to work several jobs at the same time.
He has worked as a waiter, sold insurance, and set up street stalls. He rented a small dilapidated house with several friends that cannot shelter from the wind or the rain.
A typhoon hit, overturning their roofs directly. Wu Bai looked at the stars in the house without roofs all night.
Although life is difficult, it is also free and easy.
But this kind of free life did not last long, and Wu Bai suffered a heavy blow to life.
The accidental death of two younger brothers completely shattered the family, and the mother collapsed for a while.
endured the pain of losing a loved one, and Wu Bai silently took on the responsibility of taking care of his family.
In order to seek a better life, Wu Bai came to a bar to work as a resident singer, and also learned to play guitar during this period.
But his singing did not impress the guests here, because of his unruly appearance and a strong local accent, he was ridiculed by everyone.
But Ni Chonghua in the audience found that although Wu Bai's singing was wild and unruly, it was very touching.
As a senior musician, he decided to sign Wu Bai.
Because the company was not very satisfied with his real name Wu Junlin, he directly changed the stage name to "Wu Bai" and officially embarked on the road of music.
In the same year, a four-person rock band "China Blue" was established, and served as the band's lead singer and guitarist.
But everyone is not interested in this fledgling singer.
The rough facial features, roaring singing, a slight local accent, and a less fashionable outfit made the audience resist him.
Even Ni Chonghua advised him to dress up and cater to the trend of the times. Your singing style will scare away female audiences.
But Wu Bai, who insists on himself, feels that music does not conflict with appearance, so he rejects this request.
Once, when Wu Bai drove home, he suddenly burst into tears. He felt like a ronin abandoned by the world.
Immersed in the sadness, he suddenly had a sudden enlightenment, and inspiration appeared in his mind.
So in less than 5 minutes, Wu Bai wrote this classic song "Ronin Love Song ".
Thinking that his singing is not popular with everyone, Wu Bai recommended this song to Gao Mingjun .
was returned by the other party. In desperation, Wu Bai included the song in the album of the same name and became popular.
Because of this song, Wu Bai was also selected into the "Top Ten Albums", successfully leading the rock trend in Taiwan.
During that time, spending 500 yuan to watch Wu Bai's concert was the most "trendy" thing at the moment. After
, a series of classic songs such as "The Forest of Norway", "The End of Love", "Beautiful New World" and other classic songs have established the status of this music godfather.
The "awesome" concert in 2005 was an epic and famous scene. It was Taiwan's first "four-sided stage" concert. The shape that appeared on the TV above his head became a classic.
This performance was simply the most fashionable and avant-garde concert of that year.
Wu Bai's songs were all created by him alone.
In addition to his own songs, he has also written music for other singers.
For example, Andy Lau's "The World's First Class" and " Lone Star Tears "; and Zhou Huajian's " Painful People ".
But I didn’t expect these songs to become popular by myself.
In addition to these, there is also Jacky Cheung 's "If This Is Not a Love", which was composed by Wu Bai;
He also wrote a song for her because of Wang Xinling's love breakup. This song is "I Will Be Good".
On the stage, he is wild and unruly, but he is very delicate and gentle inside.
Even Xiao S once said that Wu Bai was the gentlest man he had ever seen.
Karen Mok , Rene Liu and others praised him and called him "Friends of Women".
However, Wu Bai, who is so popular among girls, has never had any scandals. He is always surrounded by his agent Chen Wenpei.
When Wu Bai just signed with a record company, Chen Wenpei served as his agent.
In a performance, Wu Bai had a conflict with another band and had a physical conflict.
Chen Wenpei, who was standing beside him, hurriedly went on stage to protect Wu Bai, and was injured for this.
Wu Bai felt very moved when he looked at this girl with a weak appearance, and could actually resist such a hard fist for himself.
From then on, the two became good working partners. Wu Bai sang passionately on the stage, while Chen Wenpei silently cheered him behind his back.
Although the two have very different personalities, this does not hinder their determination to be together.
In 2003, the two ended their 12-year long-term relationship and have been together until now.
Nowadays, Wu Bai, who is already 53 years old, may no longer be the most popular singer in the public's mind, but his concerts are still very full, and even he only needs to start and the audience can finish the whole song.
does not appear on variety shows, does not endorse advertisements, and is only immersed in the world of music. This is Wu Bai's sense of "reality".
