The news of Pang Malang’s psychiatric hospitalization seems to be a long-expected result, but it is still saddening.
Pang Malang’s Life may be seen as a small microcosm of our Time.
Around 2015, a man named Pang Malang suddenly became popular because of the song “My Skate Shoes”. Out of love for Music, this somewhat rough but really fun song stayed on my iPod for a while. (Yeah, that was back when you still listened to songs on your iPod)
Later, after I learned a little bit about the song’s creation process, I never thought that Pomeroy was a singer.
First of all – he almost didn’t write the song. He wrote the lyrics, yes, but if you think Pomeroy is “musically talented”, it’s the lyrics at best.
The whole song has no tune, so the arrangement is very important. The whole song arrangement, Pang Meilang did not write a single note, all in the domestic arrangement tuning forum to pay someone to write.
The first song he ever made famous, “Mo’s Dartboard”, was written by an arranger who had no choice but to ask for help on a music arranging forum.
This post was made in 2013, before Pang Malang was on fire. This is what I can only call “random humming”, but finally it can become a song that some people think is “profound”, “genius”, “insightful to society “The first thing you need to do is to remember the teachers who have been removed from Pomeroy’s name and who have contributed to the arrangement in silence.
To put it simply: Pomeroy had a dream of being a singer himself, but he was completely unable to write a song, so he chose to pay someone to arrange the song and then not give his name to the other party, making the song entirely his own “original work”.
You can say there’s nothing wrong with paying for something, but it’s like Guo Jingming giving Zhuang Yu 200,000 beforehand to copy her book “Dreaming of Flowers”, which doesn’t make Guo Jingming look decent.
What’s more, there are not a few people like Pang Malang in the society.
When I was in charge of script development for a while when I was working in a film company, I would get a lot of scripts sent to me by screenwriters every day. Many of these were the creations of folk enthusiasts, most of whom couldn’t even talk about a complete story.
But there is a common point is that this group of enthusiasts are super confident, will always indicate how profound their own script, comparable to the King’s Farewell Infernal Affairs Crazy Stone, just short of Tony Leung Andy Lau Andy Wong Bo to play ……
The most impressive is that some even have only one beginning, and then write “I this script is the strongest comedy after Stephen Chow, after my ten years of dedicated revision, to ensure that every 30 seconds a laugh. In order to prevent leakage I can only provide the first 500 words, if you need to directly pay 1 million to XXXX account, and then provide the full script”.
Then, I really contacted a few of them.
Because at that time I thought, why not shoot the story of these enthusiasts, itself is a good subject matter.
I was looking for several people. One of them, to their own police film script named “Infernal Affairs and then the storm” enthusiasts, he wrote in the appendix, he was once a national sensitive department staff, often in Europe to carry out top-secret missions, experienced many thrilling deeds, and later in the mission in Europe appeared traitor, was betrayed, had to reveal his identity, abandoned by the state, after a period of anonymity back Home, successfully After a period of anonymity, he returned to China, successfully found the traitor, and then took revenge and retired from the world. Finally, he wrote his experience into this script.
When I actually paid to go to this friend’s city and meet him, I found out that he was just a young man in his 20s. He stammered completely and didn’t seem to have the ability to communicate with people. I accompanied him home and his Parents were enthusiastic (because I actually applied for 10,000 from the company to buy his script) and chatted with me.
This young man has been playing games at home after graduating from health school three years ago, and after meeting a group of friends who play online games, he stole five thousand dollars from his Family and ran away from home, disappeared for six months, and then came back in the dust after using the money. For several years have not worked at all, in addition to playing games is at home with the computer to watch movies, for many years no income, I gave this 10,000 yuan has been a huge amount of money.
And he insisted on telling me that the six months that he disappeared was on a mission to ……
His parents thanked me for coming to see him and said he hadn’t had any friends come to the door for a long time. I was actually quite ashamed of my heart and did not feel like his friend.
When I left I split the 10,000 in half, five thousand to his parents, five thousand to him. I told him that you have taken the family’s money, the five thousand must be returned to your parents. As for the remaining five thousand, you earned it yourself, how to spend it you decide.
He was very happy and kept asking me when the movie would be made. Find Andy Lau to play him, or Louis Koo?
His parents also secretly asked me downstairs if my son really has the talent to write scripts.
I said, unless the “Spy” was never filmed, the script he wrote may still be a really good story ……
Then I saw Pang Malang’s story and I knew he was from Hanzhong, but he never admitted he was. For a long time after he became popular, Punmanlon said he was born in Taiwan, studied in Europe from the age of 10, furthered his music studies at the Royal College of Music, and is in his early 20s. The name his parents gave him is Joseeh Punmanlon, which translates to Joseph John Punmanlon in Chinese.
But in fact, his real name is Pang Mingtao, born in Nan Shahe Village, Ningqiang County, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, Daijiaba Town, has not been abroad in his life, and has not even left Shaanxi, and was 31 years old when he became famous. He painted dishes, odd jobs, sales, and did a lot of hard work, but always had a dream of becoming rich overnight. So he wanted to be a singer, but he could not compose and arrange music at all, so he searched for a music arrangement forum while surfing the Internet in an Internet cafe, and spent a huge sum of $500 to turn his humming paragraphs into a song, two songs, three songs.
Then, literally, that overnight success went to his head.
When he said to the media in a pure Shaanxi accent that he was born in Taiwan and studied in Europe, you could hardly make people feel good about this person – because there are so many people like him who don’t have any real talent, but always have Dreams of fame and riches, in this society. They usually don’t want to face the reality of their dilemma and want to build a life where they don’t exist, which in turn can reduce the bitterness brought by reality. I sympathize with him, but it’s really hard to like him.
There is really nothing redeeming about a person who is 30 years old and still can’t recognize his own problems and daydreams about lackluster things.
I once read that some of my Hanzhong friends still feel proud of this, thinking that another so-called genius has come out of Hanzhong – but note that Pang Mingtao is totally resistant to the fact that he was born in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province, and in the Perception he created for himself, his hometown is Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
The good thing is that Pang Mingtao became famous, really became Pang Malang, there are performances, a 10 or 20,000, how better than painting dishes. I think as long as there are people watching, he is a little more diligent, slowly began to learn music, diligence can make up for the clumsy, but also good, at least their own and parents’ lives can improve a lot.
But then I went to his live.
Completely fake singing.
From the beginning to the end of a word does not show, put the accompaniment, the mouth type.
And his poor sense of voice, so he can not even lip-synch, completely recklessly revealing himself to be in a fake song.
The first thing I hate about music as a music fan is the plagiarism, and the second thing I hate is the fake singing.
The first thing that I hate about music is the fact that it’s not a good idea to pay money for it.
When you sympathize with Pang Malang, please think about those friends who really do music in silence. Do they have the opportunity to stand on stage and sing? When we gave Pangmayor a chance to get on stage, what about the musicians who have talent but can’t get on stage for the rest of their lives?
For example, do you know the arranger who arranged and produced “Mo’s Dartboard” and “My Skate Shoes” for Pomeroy? You gave Pomeroy the opportunity to pass off his paid-for work as his own and then praised Pomeroy for his genius, where is the arranger who actually composed it?
And Pomeroy himself continues to live in this illusion, he keeps taking all kinds of commercial gigs, most people treat him like a monkey, he himself deliberately avoids this, while always thinking that one day he will become a real international star. But the international superstar was treated to a bar show that didn’t even earn $10,000. The craze has passed and he has gone from being a “solo concert” to performing at weddings and mall openings while the crowd laughs and has fun on stage ……
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into. Otherwise he wouldn’t have tried his best to hide his rural birth, not wanting to be looked down upon. He would not know that people come to see him perform, quite a few are looking at his jokes? But he will still do it, because quite simply, it is indeed more profitable than painting plates, and it really seems to boil into a diva star?
Five years have passed and Pang Meilang failed to become the international superstar that he always wanted to be. And the reality is that Pang Mingtao, finally in this society, went crazy in the physical sense.
Pang Meilang’s life always reminds me of Eason Chan’s “Pomp and Circumstance” written by Huang Weiwen. It is a small person with little talent, with the inferiority complex of being neglected in childhood, pleading for fame, applause and lights, so he does his best, hysterical, to take the limelight in a pompous way, to realize his dream of fame. Even if you become a clown.
That year 18, the alma mater prom, standing as minions; that time I was in tears, vowing all of you, must see me.
Heavy attention, can cure belly hunger.
Big moves a lot, make these mistakes, bo people look at me, is it considered sick?
I think, count it.
So I think that Pang Malang is a microcosm of this society.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
Mom asked me why I was not happy today.
