This star is from the earth - #462 - Chapter 447: Portrait (Part 2)

During the three or four years that no one knew about Han Jue, it is said that someone saw him singing on the opening day of an unknown small restaurant, while the waiter was yelling for a 20% discount when entering the restaurant. Someone saw Han Jue dancing in a bar with a bad reputation. Someone poured alcohol on him off the stage. He threw the microphone and jumped down to fight with several people. Some people also said that they saw Han Jue at a small party. Han Jue was singing and dancing on the stage, while the people below were laughing and taking pictures.

Like all past stars who quickly faded out of people’s sights, Han Jue also lived an insignificant life with the glory of the past.

“During that time, I did suffer a lot, materially and spiritually, and the gap was too great. Everything around me reminded me that I was a fool all the time, and that feeling was definitely not good.” Han Jue shook his head.

And when asked how he endured those hard days, Han Jue said that he found that there are only two things in the world that make his life worth living, “love and art”.

Han Jue talked about the first love in his life during those wasted days.

Han Jue has outstanding appearance since he was a child, and he is faster than his peers. Coupled with his meaningless attitude towards life, Han Jue is very attractive to girls everywhere. One after another, the girls were willing to follow Han Jue, when Han Jue was fighting, and when Han Jue was playing truant. Han Jue doesn’t care about it, he just does his own thing and rejects all intimate relationships. After a long time, the girls knew that there was no hope, some chose to leave, while others continued to persist, hoping that sincerity would be the golden stone. But in the end, after several years, no one could become Han Jue’s girlfriend.

Until Han Jue thought he had nothing, he met a girl who made him “feel that the world is not completely bad”, and fell in love.

“If someone hadn’t told me that it was love, I would have thought it was a naked sword.” Han Jue’s words expressed the sharpness and ardor of love.

When we choose our lover, we are actually choosing what kind of person we want to be.

Han Jue bluntly said that his girlfriend is almost perfect. During the days of getting along, it watered Han Jue’s dry heart, and at the same time changed his way of getting along with the world.

Under the influence of his girlfriend, Han Jue came into extensive contact with art. Read books, watch movies, listen to music, learn music production, learn to write, learn to write scripts, learn to draw, and even learn foreign languages.

He said that the so-called human growth is actually “continuously discovering that the unique experience of the individual is only a part of the universal experience of human beings”.

Han Jue’s current friends have never met his girlfriend, and Han Jue also refuses to talk about her too much on the grounds that “the matter has passed”. So much so that Han Jue’s girlfriend has always existed in legends in his circle of friends.

Han Jue’s first love ended suddenly. “Breaking up suddenly.” Han Jue smiled.

This time and experience is precious. In terms of character, Han Jue’s sharpness has been softened from the outside to the inside. In terms of creation, the emotional experience and the hardships he endured in the past few years finally became gifts, and all of them became the nourishment of his creation.

After three years of being unattended, Han Jue plans to come back.

The comeback was not to sweep the entertainment circle and regain the former glory, but because he owed a lot of money to the bank, and he really couldn’t receive commercial performances, and had no income, so he had to come out for activities. So the goal of coming back is very clear, that is to pay off the debts, retire from now on, take on some jobs occasionally, earn some extra money, and live a small life on the copyright.

Last summer, relying on the resources of his agent, Han Jue appeared on the stage of “Tucao Big Show” after many years, and became famous after “vomiting”. A completely different image of Han Jue appeared.

For Han Jue’s comeback, not many people take it seriously.

Even Han Jue’s brokerage company [Jinsha] didn’t care, allowing Han Jue to fend for himself in the contract period of less than half a year.

There are not many voices boycotting Han Jue on the Internet, most of them are laughing and ridiculing, which is already a good signal for Han Jue.

Han Juewen participated in “The Rap of China” and officially announced his comeback.

Han Jue’s return did not recall the former fans.

Fans used to spend a lot of money for Han Jue, organized guilds to raise funds, made rankings, made a big splash, bought the right to use commercial street billboards during prime time, bought products endorsed by him, bought newspaper pages to celebrate his birthday, and used his name Plant trees in the park, donate money to do good in his name, and even make detailed career planning and publicity plans for him, and accompany him to catch up with him in the wind and rain.

The fans are negative, the resources are zero, and there is nothing. This is what Han Jue called “starting from hell”. For a long time afterwards, Han Jue came and went alone in the bus. Go to the streets and alleys to learn rap with foreigners, go to my friend Xiao Fan to learn rap, and even record shows.

But Han Jue said that it was the happiest and freest time since he became an artist.

The first time I met Han Jue was in an audio store. We were looking at a second-hand record player at the same time. In the end, I took the record player away first, but he just looked at me pitifully through the window.

At that time, I didn’t plan to interview him, and he had just participated in the live audition for “The Rap of China”. Although I thought he looked familiar, I didn’t recognize him.

Then he started getting busy. With a few songs sung on “You Hip Hop” and the good performance of “Let’s Fall in Love”, he climbed from the edge of the circle to the inside. [Golden Sands] Seeing that the idle Han Jue was suddenly useful, he wanted to renew the contract, but the renewal went against Han Jue’s retirement plan, and Han Jue refused.

Whenever there is a fork in the road, he always chooses the one that hurts him the least.

When I saw Han Jue again as a reporter, it was at [Alley Bar]. He was rehearsing a new song and looking for a new house at the time. His face is still delicate, but his brows no longer have the frightening indifference. I said I could introduce him to a new apartment, a cheap rent, and even a new job—writing the theme song for a certain movie. Han Jue accepted it with a good-tempered smile, crumpled and flattened like a piece of clean paper.

“You Hip Hop” also suddenly notified that they lost their qualifications for the competition, because they did not show up and were automatically disqualified. After Han Jue heard the news, his heart sank on the spot because he had not received the notification of the recording.

He lost half of his job, making Han Jue’s road to comeback rough. It seems that if he is not careful, he will fall out of the circle again.

To make matters worse, Han Jue’s diary was published maliciously on the Internet. His bumpy life experience and straightforward abuse put Han Jue in the center of public opinion again and became a pastime after dinner.

The last time Han Jue faced this kind of situation, he was in charge of the gate with one man against ten thousand, and he was scolded miserably. This time, Han Jue didn’t post anything online, he was angry but calm.

“The thing [self] is invisible, you have to bump into something else and bounce back to understand [self].”

Han Jue watched all the turmoil with cold eyes. In the program “Let’s Fall in Love”, he collaborated with Zhang Yiman on a song – “That Woman”. Dafangfang spread out his wounds and put an end to [Diary Gate].

While people lamented that Han Jue’s life experience was not easy, they also began to pay attention to Han Jue’s talent, because in this turmoil, Han Jue responded with his works. In addition to “That Woman”, he also showed two other songs-“You Eyes” and “Flammable and Explosive”.

People suddenly realized that Han Jue is a musician, not an idol anymore.

For idols, Han Jue no longer looks forward to it: “I have both advantages and disadvantages. I don’t want to create a character, and I hate being labeled by others. I am not an idol. Now I use my works to express myself honestly. If anyone likes these works, I’ll appreciate it, and if I don’t like it, I don’t care at all, and I don’t care.”

Although Han Jue lost the opportunity to show his talents in “You Rap Hop”, Zhang Yiman’s company [Aidu Entertainment] invited Han Jue to participate in “Singer” after his talent was showcased.

Han Jue readily agreed.

Han Jue said that being Zhang Yiman’s music producer is a kind of enjoyment.

“There are two types of singers, one is the creative type, that is, the current singer-songwriter. The other is the professional singer, with perfect technology, who does not write songs himself.” Han Jue said that he was barely the first type, Zhang Yi Man is undoubtedly the second type, but it is different from the general second type of singer.

“She can put her own stamp on every song.” Han Jue said that there is something she wants to express in Zhang Yiman’s voice, and she can sing other people’s songs so that people think she is the original singer. I was born to eat this bowl of rice.

The two people who were born to eat this bowl of rice not only sat at the same table (same era), but also ate from the same bowl (same work), which is the luck of our audience.

The masterpieces of Zhang Yiman that people can think of now, “Flammable and Explosive”, “Open to Tumi”, “Bloody Love Story”, “Your Eyes”, “Because of Love”, these are all works of Han Jue.

Just after Zhang Yiman’s “Singer” kicked off successfully, many companies in the circle began to invite Han Jue to sing. But at that time, Han Jue didn’t plan to sell a single song except Zhang Yiman. He kept all the songs, and didn’t plan to release them until he couldn’t find a suitable sound.

In an interview, I asked Han Jue: “What are your favorite songs?”

He asked back, “Do you want the one you listen to the most, or the one you like the most?”

I asked, “What’s the difference?”

He replied: “Favorite is what you want yourself to like the most, and what you listen to most often is what you really like the most.”

He listens to his own songs most often and loves his own songs the most.

Some of his songs are made very quickly, and can be completed within an hour, while some songs take more than ten or twenty hours. Some songs are old-fashioned and retro, and some songs are almost experimental.

As far as I know, Han Jue has hoarded hundreds of songs. There are Chinese, English, and even French. There are lyrical, rock, jazz, and electronic.

Han Jue and I and several other friends have the privilege of going out to listen to these unpublished songs of Han Jue, and others are envious. Once a week, a dozen or so of us would always go to Han Jue’s house together, waiting to hear the new songs that Han Jue has composed in the past few days. Every time we go home after listening to [Han Jue Private Music Conference], for two or three days, we hardly hear new songs from other singers on the market.

[Suitable for Zhang Zishang] The folder once shocked the music circle, but the few of us are quite clear that that folder is really just the tip of the iceberg in Han Jue’s music library.

I don’t know how many times I’m glad that if Han Jue hesitated to move and looked at the music equipment, I didn’t persuade him to continue to create music, then there is no doubt that there will be one less superstar musician and artist in the world.

That would be a loss for all of us in our time.
