"Three Heroes of Moyan VS Beyond, who is the king of Chinese rock and roll?"

"Is Xu Cun, the father of Chinese rock and roll, announcing his withdrawal from the rock and roll world, because he has lost the spirit of rock and roll, or is it because he is not optimistic about the future of Chinese rock and roll?"

Dou Wei, Zhang Chu, and He Yong, the three masters of Moyan, who fell down recently—the three of them are very noble in their bones. Their ideal state is that I write songs and I create them, and you help me record songs, help me publicize, Publish it for me, and earn money together. As for those messy business activities, buddies, go to participate if you like it, and don’t bother me if you don’t like it. The most outrageous thing is that they make friends with friends for the sake of face, behind the back of the company and the agent Participating in various underground performances without permission is a serious violation of the artist contract. Under the market economy, how could the wayward personalities of Dou Wei and the others work? As a result, slowly, Zhang Chu died, He Yong went crazy, and Dou Wei became immortal...

How sad!
