Chapter 298 Exclusive for Award Receiving——"Nocturne"
When a song is particularly powerful, everyone's attention is attracted by "Dongfeng Po", and they will comment immediately after listening to the song.
So much so that even the next two divine songs were ignored.
It wasn’t until someone mentioned "Nocturne" that everyone suddenly understood.
"Nocturne" is included in Jay Chou's album "Chopin in November", also known as "The Arrogance of November", which was released on November 1, 2005.
But "Nocturne" was first broadcast on October 17, 2005, which was the anniversary of Chopin's death.
"Nocturne" was first broadcast on the radio. At that time, there were more than hundreds of millions of people listening to it around the world. It can be said that it was an unprecedented premiere.
Piracy was very serious at that time. The first version many people heard was this: "What I want to give you now is Jay Chou's super premiere! But you must speak, because there are many Unscrupulous business owner, so I'm sorry, please bear with me, this single is called "Nocturne"..."
However, what left the host speechless was that the unscrupulous business owner directly recorded her voice, Instead, it became a new classic.
As a result, many people still like to listen to the radio version, and feel that the official version does not have the same flavor. Without the sound of the radio version, "Nocturne" would be incomplete.
The influence of the first impression is so exaggerated. What many people listen to is no longer the song, but the original memories.
The power of recalling killing will not work even if the original version comes.
The unscrupulous businessmen were victorious.
Speaking of "Nocturne", this song is not the best of all Jay Chou's songs, but it is undeniable that this song has made more people know about Jay Chou.
This is a song that is completely opposite to "Qili Xiang". If "Qili Xiang" is bright love, then "Nocturne" is dark despair.
The ultimate in "Qili Xiang" is "Nocturne".
It is also a divine song with a prelude, but it has a different style. "Nocturne" tends to be dark, with one light and one dark. The album "New Era" is considered complete.
Needless to say the greatness of "Nocturne". Nearly twenty years later, this song still ranks in the top ten of all Jay Chou's songs, and occasionally breaks into the top five.
Before "Nocturne" are the divine songs "Qili Xiang" and "Sunny Day".
As soon as "Nocturne" played, he went on stage to receive the award.
This saying has been around for many years.
This allusion comes from the 12th Global Chinese Music Chart Awards Ceremony.
At the ceremony, Jay Chou won five awards that night with "Nocturne". "Nocturne" will be played every time before he goes on stage to receive the award.
When it came time to receive the award for the fifth time, Jay Chou changed from being serious and rigorous to being perfunctory because he was running out of words.
With this "Nocturne", Jay Chou won the Best Song of the Year, Best Singer-Songwriter Award, Best Male Singer, and Most Popular MV Award in the 2006 Chinese Music Chart. Five awards for most popular male singer.
As a result, netizens jokingly called it "As soon as the nocturne plays, I go on stage to receive the award."
This is just a list, not the most valuable Golden Melody Award.
Therefore, this "Nocturne" has always been questioned.
Not only "Nocturne", but the entire album "Chopin in November" did not win any Golden Melody Award.
The lack of high-value awards has also become the reason why many people suppress "Nocturne".
If it doesn’t win any awards, what kind of work is it considered good?
However, what is very absurd is that the number of pre-orders for "Chopin in November" exceeded 2 million in Asia, and the final sales volume was more than 3 million, ranking first in Asia.
On November 1st, the day the album was released, there were long queues at audio stores everywhere.
There were not only familiar classmates in the crowd, but also the old-fashioned and serious Chinese teacher, the gray-haired dean, and the frail physical education teacher who took the lead.
This was the grand occasion when the album was released.
If a song wins many awards but is not accepted by the public, then there must be something wrong with the song.
Similarly, if a song is widely welcomed and accepted but does not receive any honors, then there is something wrong with the award.
"Nocturne" is not a song with no artistic value like "Learning to Meow". The popular "Learning to Meow" was no longer mentioned after its popularity.
In the past nearly 20 years, "Nocturne" has remained popular.
This is the choice of the times and the choice of the public.
Of course, another reason why "Nocturne" was criticized was because of its "bad streets".
Bad street has become a derogatory term, because it means that the things you like are common. Just like they hate wearing matching clothes, many people think that this does not highlight their uniqueness and is a very low status thing.
However, "Bad Street" has extremely high requirements for songs, which must not only be artistic but also commercial.
There are several ways for a song to become popular. One is to play it in the streets and alleys. Whether you want to listen to it or not, the song will get into your ears.
One is an occasion that attracts a lot of attention, such as the Spring Festival Gala, the Olympic Games, etc.
There is also a TV series that is also highly replayed, such as "The Soul of the Chinese Army" in "Bright Sword".
The requirements for a bad song are very high, but the criterion for testing whether a song is bad is very simple - even if you have never actively listened to it, you can sing a few lines.
Does "Nocturne" not win the Golden Melody Award affect its status?
No.
Because the three albums "Qilixiang", "Chopin in November" and "Still Fantasy" won nothing at the Golden Melody Awards.
During this period, Jay Chou only won the Best Single Producer for his single "Huo Yuanjia".
This is in sharp contrast to Jay’s albums selling well all over Asia. The credibility of the Golden Melody Awards has been questioned.
In a word, the Golden Melody Award not awarding Jay Chou is not Jay Chou’s loss, but the Golden Melody Award’s loss.
If there are no awards, does that mean the songs are not good? Without awards, wouldn't Jay Chou be the best male singer?
The credibility of the Golden Melody Awards is no longer there, but Jay Chou is becoming more and more brilliant.
Recognition from professionals in the industry is indeed important, and Jay Chou has far surpassed those so-called professionals. Does it matter whether he wins or not?
When the public evaluates a song, they don’t care how many awards the song has won or how good the data is, but they judge it through subjective feelings.
This is the truest feeling in everyone’s heart. If it sounds good, keep listening to it. If it doesn’t sound good, go to the next song.
Follow your inner feelings and don’t be influenced by so-called professionals from the outside world.
In the music circle, excited musicians also remembered that there were other songs.
Everyone clicked on "Nocturne" at the same time.
As a representative work of prelude, some people think that "Nocturne" can be a god without the songs. The prelude alone can arouse everyone's interest.
A burst of electric current sounded, a bit like the interference sound of a radio station.
Everyone is familiar with this sound. It was the same sound when changing channels on the radio when I was a child. The prelude seemed to bring my mind back to twenty years ago.
It brings back the past time and has a retro feel.
Many people made an action almost at the same time - going back to the beginning of the music.
“Another prelude to kill!” Many people sighed.
Society is becoming more and more impetuous, and people hope to find what they are interested in within three seconds. This is true for novels, movies, and music.
A nice intro is a criterion for many people to choose a song. However, it is very difficult to write a catchy and nice intro.
"The intro is as good as "Qili Xiang"."
Many people immediately made judgments. "Qili Xiang" has been recognized as an invincible song with an intro and has attracted countless people to imitate it.
I just didn't expect another "Nocturne" to come.
Is it another sweet love song?
Soon they discovered that they were wrong, because the intro was very sad, and the rhythm was very fast, with drums, piano, guitar...
Usually fast songs are more cheerful, but the prelude of this song is sad, with a winter feeling.
At this time Xu Nuo finally spoke.
“A group of bloodthirsty ants, attracted by carrion.
I look at the lonely scenery with an expressionless face.
Losing you, love and hate begin to become clear,
>
Without you, there is nothing else to care about. "
Everyone was shocked again when he opened his mouth.
Arranged in a classical music style, the melody is full of seriousness, but he is actually rapping?
" Damn it ! rap? "Some people couldn't help but swear.
Nuoyan has already shown off a unique skill in "Compendium of Materia Medica", adding national culture to rap.
But classical music plus rap, to be honest, they have never seen it.
Classical music is serious and generous, while rap is hip-hop and uninhibited. The two completely unrelated styles are blended together, and it actually sounds - particularly good?
Modern singing method, classical melody, a new style?
At this moment, many people are starting to get confused. The new genre "Chinese style" has just been confirmed with the release of "Dongfeng Po".
What is the style of this "Nocturne"?
Classical plus rap?
How could anyone dare to play like this? How dare he?
Many people can’t believe it at all.
Another innovative song appears.
Confusion, shock, and panic flooded the Chinese music scene.
If this continues, the Chinese music scene may really be taken over by this man.
The "New Era" may become an era of promises.
The singing continues.
“When the dove no longer symbolizes peace,
I was finally reminded,
Vultures are fed in the square.
I use beautiful rhymes,
to describe love that has been plundered. ”
The ambiguous lyrics, rap-style singing, and no longer gorgeous lyrics all make this song extra special.
Many people had to look at the screen to try to see clearly. Lyrics.
The biggest advantage of fast songs is that although the lyrics are completely unclear, it makes people curious to study them in detail.
The lyrics are extremely heavy but elegant. Images like ants, carrion, and vultures pop up occasionally. An extremely sad person, with a numb expression, and a sad atmosphere with a heart as gray as death envelopes everyone. audience.
The sense of immersion is so strong that some people can’t help but want to wrap themselves up in tight clothes, only to realize that it is August now.
The scorching sun in summer seems unable to drive away the coldness on my body.
