Chapter 263: What does Bian Lang know about "29" and "Crazy Land" (please subscribe, please vote)

After Qi Wangdong entered, he saw Hu Chen having breakfast there and following the rhythm. He didn't know if it was appropriate to go up and say hello now.

But as a researcher, he wanted to find out the whole story, so he stepped forward.

At this time, Hu Chen just looked up and saw the work card of the Academy of Social Sciences on his chest. He thought for a moment: "It's impossible. The East Campus is far away from here. It's impossible to disturb them, right?"

With this question in mind, Hu Chen turned off the music, stood up, walked over and asked Qi Wangdong, "Hello, what's the matter with you?"

Qi Wangdong organized his language and then said: "Hello, comrade, I am a researcher at the Institute of Island Countries, Academy of Social Sciences. I would like to ask what the name of the song that was played just now is?"

When Hu Chen heard this, his heart dropped a lot, and then he replied: ""Crazy Earth", Bian Lang's new song, was performed for the first time by me last night."

"Oh, it turns out you are the boss. Thank you. What is the word "fengtu"? I will go back and search online."

"Crazy, crazy, rubbish. This song has not been released yet, and there is no genuine sound source on the Internet. If you want to listen, just listen to me, and I will play it for you again..."

Faced with Hu Chen's enthusiasm, Qi Wangdong did not refuse. Each song only lasted a few minutes, so it didn't matter if it was delayed. But after listening to the song, he asked Hu Chen to play it for him again.

Hu Chen knew that the researcher must have heard something, and naturally wanted to hear what the answer was, so he played it again.

But this time, Qi Wangdong not only listened, but also seriously started recording the lyrics on his mobile phone.Seeing his serious look, Hu Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't forget it. I have the original version and will give it to you later."

Although Bian Lang was a guest in last night's performance, he still had to have subtitles, so of course Hu Chen had the original version.

Speaking of this, Qi Wangdong nodded and continued to listen.

After listening to it, before Hu Chen could say anything, Qi Wangdong clapped his hands and said, "Okay, what a great song!"

As soon as he said this, Hu Chen once again confirmed that there was something in the lyrics. He was studying this field and was definitely more professional than him. Then he curiously asked: "What did you hear? Can you tell me about it? "

"I didn't expect that someone could interpret that period of history from this perspective. This song writer is not simple! He probably wrote from the Sino-Japanese War of [-] to the Anti-Japanese War. I have to go back and check the information to confirm some specific things..."

"That's it? Then I know it too!" Thinking this in his heart, Hu Chen's heart itched even more, and he wanted to know the hidden message in Bian Lang's lyrics.

Fortunately, before he could speak, Qi Wangdong took out his cell phone and said, "Boss, leave a WeChat message. I'll confirm it when I get back and let you know."

Hu Chen took out his mobile phone, scanned Qi Wangdong and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll wait for your letter and come over for a drink when you have time."

"Okay..." After saying that, he took a photo of the lyrics file, then turned around and left.Hu Chen, who was waiting for him to invite him to play in the place, was stunned on the spot.

At this time, in a building in a creative park somewhere in BJ, Liu Ziyang was sharing the arrangement of last night's "29" with his producers.

After playing it again, he asked one of them: "Did you hear anything special?"

The man thought for a while and then said: "At the climax of this song, instead of using traditional guitar strumming or guitar solo to express the turbulent emotions, it actually uses a repeatedly overlapping guitar sound wall like postrock to vent it. , this is a very bold and novel attempt in Bian Lang's arrangement, but it made me completely attracted to it. This folk rock is really good!"

After Liu Ziyang nodded, he continued to add: "In terms of arrangement, my feedback after listening to it for the first time last night is that the verse is excellent, but the whole thing is a bit mixed. The keyboard Arpeggiator for the chorus advances, and the second chorus The post-rock, new-schoolpunkdrum of the third chorus sounds good, but in my mind the fused elements are a little too inconsistent.

But after listening to it many times, I no longer feel mixed. The reason is that the music itself is bigger than the so-called music type and music style. The song itself is a work that combines these elements.In terms of guitar playing, the sustain of arpeggios, the resonance of steel strings, the reverberation of percussion, and more details constitute the "flavor" of this song.It's the combination of these that creates what I think is a beautiful piece of music.

This combination of folk and rock may not have a fixed framework. I really hope that this type of music can play something different in Bianlang. "

<divclass="contentadv">At this time, the assistant who had written down everything said: "Boss, tell us more about the lyrics. I will sort it out and post it on Weibo for you."

Liu Ziyang doesn't usually post song reviews, mainly because he doesn't like to do it deliberately. There are some things he can say without hindrance during chat.But when he was asked to write, he sat in front of the computer and typed the keyboard for a long time. After reading it at the end, he might feel that he was not satisfied with anything and wanted to change it again. As a result, once he started to change it, there was no end.

So he specifically asked his assistant to record it today, and he would just use it when the time comes.

Hearing this, Liu Ziyang thought for a while and then continued: "The verse is quite comfortable for me. In short, it is 'rhythm'. There is not much rhyme in the whole verse, but the rhythm between the words The rhythm is exceptionally good. I think the most successful sign of a musical work is the two words 'intention', just like hearing the chorus of "29".

When "May you be as cool as the wind and wild as a dog" is sung, I will use my brain to think of a picture of what being cool as the wind should look like, but no one knows what being cool as the wind actually looks like. Because this itself is a metaphor and an intention, different people will think of different things in their minds. Some people think of the wind, some people will simulate the feeling of a gust of wind blowing, and maybe some people will think of a cool person. A person who must be like the wind.

These are all 'intentions', but the key point is that when we appreciate music works, we can be inspired by the music itself to have this kind of transcendent imagination. I think this is what good music brings to the audience, which is more advanced and makes people feel better. A joyful artistic experience. "

After listening to Liu Ziyang's words, someone immediately echoed: "'May you be as cool as the wind, wild as a dog, plunge into the dim lights...', such lyrics are fatal to me. In the 'wild' After "like a dog", why is there another sentence "jumping into the dim light"? What is "the dim light"? My understanding is that after the wildness and freedom, a person tastes and ruminates alone in loneliness. This sentence "the dim light" Although it is not his original work, when it is sung by such a singer who practices these words, the power is unparalleled."

When Liu Ziyang heard this, he smiled and nodded in agreement: "That's good, is there anything else? I'll finish it in one breath, and we'll sort it out together when the time comes. You can also post this online, and I'll use my account to help you. Reprint.”

Perhaps encouraged by his boss, this person continued without thinking: "I have studied Bian Lang's lyrics. Many of his lyrics always seem to reflect his truest world view. I think the lyrics of many of his songs express The only kind of heroism is to still love life and the world after recognizing the cruel truth of life.

Just like what is sung in "29", 'Crossing the mountains and rivers, the road ahead may not be clear. 'Then, flow another river and climb another mountain! "

After finishing speaking in one breath, Liu Ziyang clapped his hands directly: "Excellent! You can work more on music criticism in the future, and the attention will not necessarily be worse than Bai Dao."

After saying this, another person asked: "Boss, I think the lyrics of "Crazy Land" are quite imaginative. Please give us a review."

When asked about this, Liu Ziyang was much more cautious and did not answer immediately. Instead, he thought for half a minute before saying: "I personally have reservations about the lyrics of this song, but I can explain some of Bian Lang's words." Tell you……"

After he finished speaking, everyone had almost the same expression as he had last night: "That's it?"

……

As for Qi Wangdong, since he took the lyrics back to the institute, he has been checking the information and even asked his master for advice on some things he was not sure about.

Qi Wangdong’s master not only studied island countries, but also studied ancient poetry and history. After reading it, he was also a little confused about the two lyrics of 4 Jue and 6 Jue, so he sent the lyrics to his colleagues in the Literary Research Department and the History Research Department. Colleagues consulted for details.

In the beginning, it was all out of interest, but later on I realized that the lyrics were really interesting.Not only the Institute of Island Studies, but also other related institutes have expressed their own understanding of some possible "metaphors" in the lyrics.

They were all doing research, based on the principle of pursuing truth and truth. The various conclusions or guesses that came out in the end made Qi Wangdong feel a little unbelievable.

He never expected that so many possibilities could be interpreted behind a song he accidentally heard in a bar. At the same time, he admired Bian Lang even more as a song writer.

With this mood in mind, I went online and planned to listen to other songs by Bian Lang. The one currently ranked number one in popularity is "Rock on the New Long March Road".When he saw the title of the song, Qi Wangdong had a feeling that it was indeed the case. After listening to it, he thought: "I see, no wonder you can write such lyrics!"

After lunch, Hu Chen, who was waiting anxiously at the bar, received a link from Qi Wangdong: "Boss Hu, we have compiled an article here, you can read it."

Hu Chen clicked on it and saw that it was a long article posted by an old researcher from the Academy of Social Sciences on Weibo:

"I came across the lyrics of a piece called "Crazy Land". I was very surprised when I first read it. After pondering it over and over again, I came up with some insights about myself as follows."
