大伙都看到了，先是《心太软》，然后《好汉歌》，接着是“My Heart Will Go On”，其间穿梭着《青藏高原》和《珠穆朗玛》不甘寂寞的影子，烂大街的队伍前仆后继，孤单而又辉煌。

在它们背后，惨淡不堪的歌坛几乎已心力交瘁，没完没了的新名词被扔向媒体、没完没了的样带被打向没人听的排行榜、没完没了的奖被瓜分、没完没了的自信笑容在破灭……而他们还要开会，讨论卖点、寻找热点、制造焦点，在新设计的唱片封面和整体形象上，无望地张贴着朝向大众的投降书。可是不行，烂大街就那么容易么？

都说《心太软》不好，俗不可耐，可是说这话的，又有几个做得到任氏贤齐的极致？彻底的人格破灭，彻底被东南亚经济风暴、下岗和童年的娇纵搞垮了的神经，整个时代、国家和地区的泪腺掌握在自恋者自怜的小手里，那低难度的旋律和通俗的脸，以及不留余地的词，冲上来一把捏住这人格、神经和自慰的手——啊，还有谁如此幸运，一张嘴就撞上了一个哭着喊着要求安慰的新世界！

通过泪水的疏导，以减肥成功的一代青少年为代表的群众心里舒服多了，唱片零售商及时地被告知：接下来该重建人文精神啦！荡气回肠的《水浒传》从另一个方向撑住了社会心理的腰，英雄梦、阳刚气、土匪比皇帝好演的明证、造反、该出手时就出手、酒神精神与农民意识的美好搅拌。被一首《去者》给害了的刘欢终于放下高难度的架子，向《大花轿》虚心学习，在赵季平老师的帮助下小试牛刀，宰中了以有所做为的中年人为代表的群众的心。武二郎和花和尚制造的持续的热情推波助澜，《好汉歌》理所当然地弃教授、小知和崇洋者于不顾，鼓荡起了宏伟的俗文化大旗。

不用问，软硬的歌声都唱过了，我们也该品尝一下全球经济一体化的奇异果——列位从业人员和圈外老师请看，没有哪家唱片公司能请到詹姆斯·卡梅隆这样的企宣——大量美金、熟稔的心理战术、统治了世界的媒体、一个俗不可耐的爱情白日梦、两位模式化的名角，《泰坦尼克》掉进冰海，却扬起了全人类无梦可做的梦幻风帆。游刃有余的超级美嗓唱碎了多少我国歌手的心哪！简单的英语和遥不可及的完美悲剧——我国偶像在进行本土文化代理的时候既无陌生感，又上气不接下气，以至于惨败、息声——做为典型的旋律至上派，轻易克服了国界这小小的障碍，因为，梦见不可能的浪漫，乃是以全世界上班族为代表的群众的权利！

市场是空的，大街上流淌着购买力，好歌烂曲都可以被重复到不忍卒听。可是，下一个在哪儿呢？

As everyone has seen，from《Heart Too Soft》 to 《The Song of Bawcocks》，and then to“My Heart Will Go On”，mingled with the shadows of 《Qinghai-Tibet Plateau》 and 《Qomolangma》 which couldn’t stand without the limelight – the parades of decayed streets appeared one after another, lonely and splendid.

Behind all this，the gloomy vocal circle was almost physically and mentally exhausted – endless new nouns were thrown to the media, endless demos were pushed into the ranking list which no one would listen to, endless awards were dispersed, and endless scenes of vanishing of confident smiles…… However, they still needed to hold meetings to discuss selling points, find hot topics, and make up focuses. On new-designed CD covers and overall images stuck the capitulation hopelessly to the public. But no – did the decayed streets exist so easy?

Many said that 《Heart Too Soft》 wass too vulgar to be good，but how many of those who said so could reach the acme of Ren Xianqi? The personality completely shattered, the nerve crushed by the Southeast Asia economic blizzard, loss of jobs, and spoiled childhood…… The lachrymal of the whole era, the country, and the region was controlled by the small hands of narcissists. The plain melody, the earthly face, and the desperate lyrics rushed to grab this personality, this nerve, and this wanking hand – oh, who could still be so lucky as to open his mouth and meet a new world that cried for comfort!

Through the psychol ogical of tears, the masses represented by the adolescents who had succeeded in losing weight felt much better. CD sellers were told in time: the next thing was to rebuild humanistic spirit! The soul-stirring 《Water Margin》supported the society from another side – hero dreams, masculinity, proof that bandits were better than kings, rebellions, fighting the fight at the right time, and the perfect mixture of Bacchus spirit and peasant mentality. Liu Huan, harmed by 《The Gone》, finally put down the superior difficulty and learned from 《Big Sedan》. With the help of Zhao Jiping, he tried his hand and captured the hearts of the masses represented by the middle-aged who had achieved something. The excitement created by Wu Erlang and Monk Hua added fuel to the flames - 《The Song of Bawcocks》, of course, ignored professors, intelligentsia, and worshipers of foreign things and raised the grand flag of vulgar culture.

It’s beyond doubt that when all the songs, soft and hard, had been sung, we should taste the kiwifruit of economic globalization – all the practitioners and teachers out of the loop please notice that no record company was able to hire an advertiser like James Cameron – large amounts of dollars, sophisticated psychological tactics, media that ruled the world, an unbearably vulgar love daydream, two stereotyped film stars. Titanic sank into the icy water, but it raised the dream sail of mankind. The skilled beautiful super voice broke the hearts of so many singers in our country! The simple English and the unreachable perfect tragedy – the idols in our country, representing the domestic culture, felt no sense of strangeness while staying out of breath, which caused fiasco and quietness – as the typical group that believed melody supreme, they overcame the barrier of national boundaries easily, for it was the right of the masses represented by all the office workers in the world to dream of impossible romance!

The market is empty; the streets are filled with purchasing power; both good music and bad songs are repeated until they can no longer be listened to. But where is the next one?
