Zhao Meng

"Actually, I always feel that I am a very boring person." Asked which side best represents "Zhao Meng", she thought for a while, "From the 'new pants' me, to the 'Shining Star' me, and then again When it comes to 'riding the wind and waves', every time I am unreservedly being myself, but I don't want to be defined by any kind of appearance that everyone sees." Just like her music, sometimes punk and uninhibited, sometimes romantic and dreamy, "You Any side you see may belong to a flashing star, and no one you see is a complete flashing star." But there is only one thing Zhao Meng is very confident about: "In this show, no one is more 'ride the wind and waves' than me!"

The first stage "Let Go of Yourself" is an original song by the Flash Stars.

It doesn't matter if you win or lose, just break through yourself
In the first season of "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", Zhao Meng, as a member of the new pants band, was invited to be an assistant guest. At that time, she said, "My sisters are so strong. If you give me a little more time, I should be able to adapt to their practice intensity." Repeating the old story, she was very proud: "Is that so? I did it!"
At the beginning of this year, "Riding the Wind and Waves" sent an invitation to Zhao Meng, and she readily agreed: "I think I need this platform to let everyone know about my Flash Star Band." "The goal, only to say "relax to be yourself, just be happy". Now that he has overcome all obstacles and entered Wu Gong, Zhao Meng himself was also surprised: "I thought the first and second males were about to be eliminated."
Zhao Meng bluntly said that the band's performances are basically free to play. This time, I have to listen to the arrangements of the program team everywhere, which is particularly uncomfortable. "In her first appearance, she performed the original song "Let Go of Myself" by the Flash Stars. The explosive rhythm instantly ignited the stage. In addition to her excellent bass, she also showed a "smashing wheat stunt". The sisters on the scene danced one after another. Arm, join the support, Na Ying shouted excitedly: "I like the energy in her so much, it's the feeling of freedom! "The other members of the new pants band also recorded a reaction later, and everyone was excited about "our village has college students".

Zhao Meng also said: "In "Summer of the Band", apart from competing with other musicians, I didn't communicate much privately. Moreover, I added new pants halfway through, and I didn't participate in the first ten years. I have nothing to do with' or 'I don't have much to say about this matter' feeling. "Riding the Wind and Waves" will be more immersive, it can be said to be unreserved."
In the first round of performances, Zhao Meng, Zhang Tianai, Guo Caijie and Xue Kaiqi brought a very creative and impactful parkour stage "Myself". Even more unexpected than singing "I Me" in a princess dress is her dancing "Beautiful Woman" in a cheongsam. This martial arts-style stage was astounding after its broadcast, but Zhao Meng shed tears during the rehearsal: "I didn't dance at all before, isn't this a challenge to "Riding the Wind and Waves"? You can say that I'm not good at dancing or I don't feel like I'm looking for it. Yes, but I only practiced for one day and said that my temperament is not suitable. In the three seasons of 'sister' and 'brother', not everyone's temperament matches the show, right?" Later, she also used unremitting practice to dispel all doubts.

"beautiful woman"

She said that there are many songs in the show that she would not normally create, but she liked it more and more during the practice process: "I will also think about why the show team chose this song? What's so good about it? Why does it have such a high degree of singing? These are very helpful to my future music creation."
Zhao Meng knows that many people feel sorry for the loss of "Beautiful Woman", but she feels that she has made breakthroughs and burns to the fullest in the process, so winning or losing is not so important: "I don't pay much attention to the results of the game, I care more about it. Yes, does the object of cooperation in each performance work together to bring each other a positive and happy feeling."

When she came to "Riding the Wind and Waves", in addition to Liu Lian and Yu Wenwen, the sisters she knew when she played in the band, she met many interesting new friends: Zhang Tianai, who was first impression of Gao Lengyu, was actually very cute and down-to-earth; Xue Kaiqi's Demonic laughter is everywhere, and it can always infect other people's moods. Wu Mochou, who is quirky and eccentric, is actually a "stupid". After the end of the first public, she was eliminated, and Zhao Meng was the first to shout out in surprise. : "We lived in the same house at the time, and we wanted to work with her later. I didn't expect that such a good sister like her would leave in the first round."
Also a trusted "captain" candidate for the sisters, Zhao Meng felt that Tan Weiwei was very close to himself in character: "We don't like to do certain things for what purpose, and those who are vain can be discarded. We I just want to do my part and show everyone the most authentic things, which is what I have always advocated.”
From the perspective of a musician, Zhao Meng admires Guo Caijie, who is full of personality: "She always has all kinds of special ideas in her mind. Many times we can understand each other naturally without saying anything." She mentioned preparing for the second public war. At the time, Guo Caijie and Guo Caijie thought of a lot of ideas, because various practical factors could not be realized: "We proposed to use feathers, and then this idea was used in "Dream Man", and the effect was very good. We used LED ice on the stage of "I Me". Screen, I originally thought of a design similar to 'break the mirror'. I didn't expect that as soon as I proposed it, Sister Qiang said, 'No way! If the mirror is broken, it will be unlucky for 7 years!'"

"Own"

Zhao Meng laughed and described the senior who had worked together and lived with her as "extremely amazing": "I like listening to her chatting, talking about her ups and downs over the years, her experience of studying in Australia, and the various experiences she encountered. The kind of people and things, and the equally amazing girlfriends around her... It's really fun. And Sister Qiang loves beauty very much. When I was the second husband, I went to her room to practice every day, and she changed into a different beauty every day. Clothes, sometimes go to the bathroom to go around and change again... She is always so enthusiastic about life, which makes me particularly envious."
Surrounded by such a group of sisters laughing and sweating together, Zhao Meng's gentle and sensual side finally couldn't hide. After returning to the dormitory, she would hold a guitar and hum a song to her sisters, she would respond patiently when Wu Mochou showed her dolls and childishness, and she would comfort Wang Zixuan who accidentally dropped her bass, "On the stage of rock music, musical instruments are used for "...it seems that the kitten will show its soft belly to the people around it when it takes off its defenses.

Have a chance to come and see me on the real scene
With the popularity of "Riding the Wind and Waves", the audience has deepened the "archaeology" of Zhao Meng. The fact that Zhao Meng is the first Chinese female artist to appear at the Coachella Music Festival is probably no longer "cold knowledge".
What does the legendary "Wind of Coachella" feel like? Zhao dreamed and thought: "The stage is very large and the audience is very large. In the early years, there were not so many outdoor music festivals in China, let alone any electronic stage. Coachella is not only large in scale, but also has a very reasonable distribution arrangement, which really makes us grow longer. knowledge."
She mentioned that she went to the band she liked to chase stars: "I watched a performance, and my whole body became an eggplant, and I was caught in the middle of the crowd and couldn't move. If the audience caught in the back of the crowd wanted to leave, someone had to remove him from above. It's not easy for music fans to carry it all the way to the front of the stage and then turn it out!"
Therefore, during Wugong's recording interval, Zhao Meng hurried to the music festival to meet with fans: "I didn't come out much in Changsha for three months. It felt like I entered the midsummer directly from spring." In addition to the heat to collapse, Zhao Meng was very dissatisfied with his state on the stage: "Before recording the fourth public, I accidentally slapped my foot, and I felt that the whole person was sealed, and I couldn't do a lot of things. I looked like I was jumping for the past two days, but with the previous It's completely incomparable when she's not injured." That's why she looked back at her performance stage with an indescribable expression: "I'm a very picky person, and I always dislike myself for being bad or bad, and I blame myself for not performing well on stage. "
The surging news reporter asked Zhao Meng, have you seen the hot search for Wang Xinling's sister to trigger the memory killing of the whole network? She said: "I can totally understand that sisters want to be seen, it's human nature. But I hope everyone sees my work, my music more than me. When you find yourself doing it with your heart 's album, the popularity is not as high as posting a set of selfies, it is false to say that it is not sad. I don't really advocate that fans' worship of artists is only based on skin, those are short-lived after all, and only good works can have lasting influence. In the Weibo comment area, she will also reply to fans: "I have a chance to come and see the real scene."
In the end, Zhao Meng also revealed the news about the beautiful song that was played and sung by the sisters: "I'm already writing the lyrics."
