Dark Trilogy - "Nocturne", "Night Chapter 7" and "In the Name of the Father".
"Nocturne" put the brand of classical rap on Jay Chou;
And "Chapter Seven of the Night" led Jay Chou's classical rap into a trend.
In terms of order,
"In the Name of the Father" was released earliest, in 2003.
"Nocturne" No. 2, released in 2005.
"Chapter 7 of Night" was released as late as 2006.
If Chen Ming remembers correctly, in 2003, it should be in an alternating stage.
Hong Kong-style songs have gradually lost their popularity in the mainland, and have been replaced by Korean and Japanese songs.
Especially Korean boy and girl groups,
It has also captured a lot of the Chinese music market.
But you never know!
During that alternating music time, Jay Chou's song "In the Name of the Father" exceeded 800 million listens across Asia, creating a listening legend.
What's more,
With this song, "Jay Chou Day" was officially recognized by fans and set on July 16th.
The sudden rise of classical rap in the impact of music in various regions actually explains a lot of things.
certainly,
"In the Name of the Father" is just the beginning of the Dark Trilogy.
after,
Relying on his outstanding creative talent, Jay Chou successively created "Nocturne", which is known as the prelude and went on stage to receive the award, and "Chapter 7 of the Night" in which he transformed into Sherlock Holmes.
So far,
Jay Chou-style classical rap has completely become a myth in the hearts of music fans.
Although Jay Chou did not continue to create classical rap in his mid-to-late period, the few songs he left behind are each more classic than the last.
certainly,
In addition to the Dark Trilogy, there are also several rap songs that are also well known to fans, such as "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Dragon Fist", etc.
However, the main themes of "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Dragon Fist" are to praise national integrity and promote national self-confidence. I don't know if they are appropriate in the context of China.
Now,
Chen Ming also moved the last part of the Dark Trilogy, "In the Name of the Father," to the stage.
The audience's enthusiasm overflowed from their eyes, and they were extremely excited.
Originally, after listening to Xiao Fan and Zeng Weiying's "Floating to the North", the audience's mood did not calm down. Now, being stimulated by Chen Ming's Dark Trilogy, they became excited again.
on stage.
Hu Buwei first simply practiced the spoken language of rap. "o(╯□╰)o"
Immediately afterwards,
Chen Ming closed the books on the table and began to sing shrilly. The voice really sounded like he was singing an opera.
for a moment,
The audience felt like they were watching an opera.
This feeling is very strong. The last time I had this feeling was when I listened to "The Seventh Chapter of the Night".
But the two feelings are a little different.
"Night Chapter 7" is a detective suspense.
And "In the Name of the Father" is to rectify the name of the father.
This "father" has many levels of understanding.
Heavenly Father, Godfather, and Father can all be understood as connotations in the song, but the main focus is on Father.
In order to make the audience feel better,
Chen Ming specially wore a priest's outfit today just to fit in with the connotation of the song.
"Ah~~~~"
"Ah~~~~"
now,
Chen Ming's voice is very sharp, and it doesn't sound like a man's voice, but more like a female bel canto singing.
That’s right!
Chen Ming used drama here.
Only with a dramatic voice can Chen Ming imitate the feeling of a girl singing high notes, otherwise it would sound weird.
Several shouts made the audience's souls tremble.
Prelude to kill!
It’s really another prelude to kill!!
The audience thought that the incomprehensible dialect prelude was all before the official singing. Unexpectedly, the real prelude only started here.
For a moment, a strong classical atmosphere surrounded everyone, and the stage in front of them began to blur and turned into a grand theater.
Under the theater, they wore formal clothes and watched the live show while talking and laughing.
In the past, the opera house was a place only upper class people could enter.
So classy!
Listening to this song, I feel like I feel a little sorry for this song even if I don't wear a dress.
Online.
Audiences watching the live broadcast were also deeply touched by Chen Ming's words and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
What kind of god is Chen Ming!
He was actually able to compose three classical rap songs with killer intros. Even Fang Shulai couldn't do it.
Suddenly, many people thought of Fang Shu.
As a leader among musicians, Fang Shu creates a variety of music styles with no clear style boundaries.
But even if it is Fang Shu,
It is impossible to create such high-quality classical rap.
Even a song is a bit difficult.
However, during this period of time, there wasn’t much news about Fang Shu on the Internet, which made some people forget about Fang Shu’s existence.
This person got engaged, got married, and simply disappeared.
However, the Internet will not revolve around Fang Shu. Just because he has disappeared does not mean that netizens will wait for him.
Over time,
It is normal for netizens to forget the existence of Fang Shu.
He shook his head and put Fang Shu's episode behind him. The faces of the audience were extremely excited.
at this moment,
Everyone was impressed by Chen Ming!
Really awesome!
Today the rap songs of the three groups are all composed by Chen Ming, but the styles of the three rap songs are completely different.
"Listen to Mom" - warm rap;
"Drifting North" - modern rap;
"In the Name of the Father" - classical rap.
Chen Ming created three completely different rap songs for this program, and each one is of real high quality.
Is Chen Ming really not good at rap?
There is a question mark in everyone's mind.
But then I thought about it, Chen Ming was just good at writing, not singing.
This makes perfect sense!
At this moment, Hu Buwei's rapping began.
◤The cool morning dew wets the black dress
The stone road is foggy and my father is complaining
The helpless realization can only become more cruel
Everything is for the road to the church◢
The lyrics are so appropriate!
The black dress on Hu Buwei made the audience feel shocked. In the cool morning light, a young man wearing solemn black clothes was praying in the church.
At this moment, Chen Ming was the priest receiving prayers, accepting Hu Buwei's piety.
The image is so strong!
in church,
The priest accepts all atonements and prayers. Only in this way can the sin punishment be alleviated and go to heaven.
In fact,
Judging from the MV alone, this song is a song by Gangster Godfather.
In the holiness and light of the church, the gangster godfathers formed a very sharp contrast, with light on one side and darkness on the other.
rap songs,
Many times its atmosphere is almost entirely set off by the lyrics.
now,
The lyrics with strong visual impact impacted the hearts of every audience. Not only that, even some music creators who watched the show were shocked by the lyrics.
