The audience just thought the lyrics were awesome!
But they don’t know exactly where the cow is!
It's like you bought a cup of poplar nectar, took a sip, and thought it tasted so good that you thought you would only drink this milk tea for the next month or even months.
But would you ask in detail how Yangzhi Manna is made?
Or, what are the ingredients in it?
You won't ask!
Because you just like to drink it, as long as someone keeps making milk tea for you, it is enough.
Putting this metaphor here, the same applies.
The audience thinks the lyrics are nice and touching, but they won't delve into them.
But some professional musicians heard the wonderful lyrics!
When gangs and churches collide,
What comes out of the collision can only be one thing, the aesthetics of violence.
That’s right!
The tenderness of violence and beauty is "In the Name of the Father".
At this moment, some internal chat groups of musicians have exploded.
These chat groups are private group chats for musicians from major companies.
Musicians are the lifeblood of any music company!
It doesn't matter if there are no artists.
But without musicians, it would be doomed.
Therefore, these musicians have formed their own small groups in private. Once there is news about recruiting high-paying talents from other companies, they will immediately jump ship.
"My scalp is numb! How did Chen Ming come up with these lyrics!"
"Damn it, are today's young musicians so powerful?"
"It's so violent, so violent that I can't help but love it!"
"It's amazing, I can't write lyrics like this!"
"The rhyme at the end of each sentence is not abrupt at all and is perfectly integrated into the picture-like atmosphere. Such a divine song is actually produced by a young man in his twenties?"
"Where's Fang Shu? What does Mr. Fang Shu think?"
"Stop yelling, he's getting married soon, so there's no time for Shui Qun."
Not only the lyrics, but also the melody of "In the Name of the Father" has been greatly changed. The bel canto opera has become the hidden thread of the whole song.
If Chen Ming knew about their praise, he probably wouldn't be too upset in his heart.
The lyricist of this song is the "ruthless person"!
In the early days, the lyricist that Jay Chou collaborated with most was not Fang Wenshan, but "Huang Junlang" who was famous for his arrogance in the industry.
This person is really crazy!
But his madness makes sense.
He once posted something like this on the Internet: Why I rarely listen to other people’s songs is because the songs I wrote 16 years ago are still popular today.
This song is called "In the Name of the Father".
Can you say he is arrogant?
cannot!
Because "In the Name of the Father" has really been popular until now. Even from its release in 2003 to now, it has been popular for almost 20 years.
The Divine Comedy, known as "Twenty Years Beyond the Music World", is about to usher in its twenty-year deadline.
If nothing unexpected happens,
It should be more than twenty years old, it will be popular for much longer.
and,
Huang Junlang also has a very famous temper and never caters to the market.
Do you like to listen to ballads?
I don't write.
Do you like to listen to ancient songs?
I don't write.
I write whatever comes to my mind, and no one can ask me to forcefully cater to the music market.
It was this unique temperament that made Huang Junlang's lyrics far beyond the music world at that time, creating a myth that was listened to by 800 million people across Asia.
◤The mist that never blows away hides the intention
Who is pacing softly and stops?
It's too late to cry
The bullet that passes through takes away the temperature◢
When Hu Buwei was rehearsing this section, Chen Ming specifically requested that a sense of decadence must be added.
Why decadence?
Because this is a confessional rap from a gangster godfather.
In the original plot, Jay Chou's parents were killed by the gang godfather, and he was adopted by him. When he grew up, he chose to take revenge by killing the gang boss.
This is my own repentance, and also my repentance to the gang boss.
After all, the gang boss did raise him.
When the bullets passed through and splashed with blood, I definitely felt a mixture of emotions.
When repenting afterwards,
The audience must be able to hear the sense of helplessness and decadence.
Fortunately, Hu Buwei captured the essence of Chen Ming's words.
A confessional sense of déjà vu overwhelmed all the audience's senses, and everyone finally confirmed that this song was also a dark-style rap song.
In style, it is similar to "Nocturne" and "Night Chapter 7".
◤Judgment in the name of the father
It feels like there is no suitable vocabulary
Like laughing and crying at the same time
Staring at the complete blackness
The tragedy that prevents the spread of tragedy will make me intoxicated◢
This section of the lyrics is a topic and begins to explore the depth of human nature.
In fact, the audience in Dongzhou should be more sensitive to this lyrics.
Because, in "Psychological Crime", Professor Qiao is both a teacher and a father to Fang Mu, and in the end, in order to force Fang Mu to abandon the good thoughts in his heart, the scene of forcing Fang Mu to make a choice is very much like a trial.
Professor Qiao is judging Fang Mu!
In the increasingly dark place, Fang Mu laughed and shed tears.
So suitable!
This song also fits "Psychological Crime" very well.
The audience in Dongzhou scratched their heads anxiously, why can’t they post a barrage? I really want to post a barrage to the world to benefit from this "Psychological Crime"...
But it's still the same, as long as one barrage is fired, it will be disconnected.
At this moment, the barriers between Central Continent and Eastern Continent are making more and more people feel irritated.
After singing this section, Hu Buwei's voice disappeared. He sat on a chair on the stage, clasped his hands in the direction of Chen Ming, and bowed slightly, as if repenting.
Next, it’s Chen Ming’s turn.
The next second, Chen Ming changed his falsetto voice again.
◤Bow down and kiss my left hand
In exchange for the promise of forgiveness
Old pipe organ in the corner
Always, always, always accompanying◢
For some reason, Chen Ming's falsetto made the audience shudder again. So far, Chen Ming has shown two completely different falsetto voices.
From the bel canto opera-like "Ah~~~" at the beginning, to the low-pitched falsetto like a wind pipe now.
More importantly, Chen Ming really stretched out his left hand.
Under the gaze of the audience, Chen Ming stretched out his left hand while singing.
Looking carefully, Chen Ming held a cross in the palm of his left hand. As his palm spread out, God with his limbs nailed to the cross appeared in everyone's sight.
The next second, Hu Buwei lowered his head and kissed him on the cross.
Many people don’t know what kissing the cross means in Christianity.
There are two meanings.
The first is to express reverence and admiration for God;
The second is to hope that the Supreme Lord can forgive the sins committed by the person who kissed you.
Here, it is obviously the second meaning.
This scene deeply shocked everyone!
I thought it was an opera, but I didn't expect it to turn into a stage play.
More importantly, it is a stage play about religion.
I have to say that Chen Ming's stage design is really bold and novel.
