Chapter 613 "Night"
Yuan Xuwen didn't dare to ask this question because he didn't want it to affect the atmosphere of everyone listening to the song.
Everyone communicated with their eyes, and they all obviously discovered the problem of the particularly long intro of the song.
Xu Ye's singing also reached everyone's ears at this moment.
"The cool morning dew wets the black dress~"
"The stone road is foggy, and my father is complaining~"
"The helpless realization can only be more cruel~"
"Everything is for the road to the church~"
As soon as the song started playing, Yuan Xuwen's eyes showed surprise again.
It’s actually a rap song!
And in terms of singing difficulty, the rapping difficulty of "In the Name of the Father" is even higher than that of "General".
Stylistically, the two songs are also completely different styles.
"General" is a Chinese-style rap, while "In the Name of the Father" has a bit of a Western style, giving it a dark feel.
On Earth, the producer of the song "In the Name of the Father" is the same as "The General".
This song is still regarded as a masterpiece after it was released in 2003. When it was first released, many people said it was too ahead of its time.
Unexpectedly, twenty years later, the style of this song is actually quite advanced, and it is still timeless even now.
In terms of production level, it is definitely at the forefront.
Yuan Xuwen and others did not make any sound and listened intently to the content of the song.
Halfway through the time, the song entered the melody part, and Xu Ye's singing sounded.
"Merciful Father, I have fallen~"
"A country where sin is invisible~"
"Please forgive my arrogance~"
"Ah ya ya check it check it ah ya~"
"No one can speak, no one can speak, it's so hard to bear~"
"Behind the glory is a trace of loneliness~"
After hearing these lyrics, one of the lyricists couldn't hold it back, slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "Well written!"
The lyricist seemed to see Xu Ye's back in front of his eyes.
He was wearing a black cloak, with his back to everyone, and his figure was lonely.
Although he was glorious, there was deep loneliness buried in his heart.
No one can describe this loneliness.
As a result, Xu Ye, imagined by the lyricist, turned around and revealed his front.
Xu Ye only wore a black cloak, and his front was empty.
The lyricist quickly shook his head to get rid of this picture in his mind.
Not to mention, he felt that wearing a cloak with an empty crotch was quite consistent with Xu Ye's image.
"Damn it, you deserve to be alone. No one can be better than you when it comes to illness!"
At this time, the song was played with a female voice singing in a foreign language.
Just when this chant came to an end, suddenly, five gunshots rang out!
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
In an instant, everyone present had goosebumps on their bodies.
The feeling of the whole song instantly went up a notch.
In the Chinese music scene, Xu Ye was the first to add gunshot sounds to his songs.
In his "Cowboys Are Busy," gunfire appears, but only once.
In "In the Name of the Father" it directly becomes five times.
Not long after, the song came to an end.
It’s the polyphony that Xu Ye used in “General” again.
In Yuan Xuwen's opinion, Xu Ye was just showing off his skills!
"Father holds my hands,
(Long corridor leading to the hall)~"
"Walking gently through the early morning,
(The same indescribable vicissitudes of life)~"
"Quiet stone road,
(No hustle and bustle, only tranquility around)~"
"I slowly fell asleep~"
"It's just dawn~"
After the song ended, the conference room fell into a long silence.
After listening to it only once, everyone was already in admiration.
At first, everyone thought this song was Xu Ye's bad taste.
In the name of father, Xu Ye means that I am your father.
But obviously, the connotation of this song is not that vulgar.
The father here does not mean father, but godfather.
He is the godfather of gangsters.
In this world, there are naturally classic screen characters like gangster godfathers.
Wang Qidong said slowly: "It's like watching a movie."
Everyone has the same feeling.
The entire song, from the intro to the overall progression, unfolds like a movie.
Yuan Xuwen said: "I don't know if you have noticed that the gunshots were fired six times in total, one was five times in a row, and the last time was fired again at four minutes and thirty seconds. The first five shots were fired. Who was it, and who was shot in the end?”
It’s obvious that the gunshots in the song were arranged not only with musicality in mind, but also with storytelling in mind.
One songwriter simply sighed.
"So elegant!"
Indeed, the song "In the Name of the Father" is so elegant that everyone can't believe that it was actually written by Xu Ye.
On the Internet, after the song was released, there was another discussion.
This time, even some music critics who had been criticizing Xu Yesu all day changed the topic and started to criticize him.
"Xu Ye finally used his talent on the right path. In the name of my father, I am willing to call it a work of art!"
"Although Ya Le only released two songs in this album, not counting the first song "Ya", in my heart, "Ya Le" is Xu Ye's strongest album so far, bar none!"
"This high-class feeling is so intoxicating that it reminds me of the figure on the album cover, who is leaning against the cabinet with a goblet in his hand, like a gentleman!"
These music critics are generous with their praise.
This makes the patients of Huohua Hospital a little strange.
"Why do I feel uncomfortable with this elegant song?"
"Although I don't know much about music theory, I really think the song "In the Name of the Father" is quite powerful after listening to it."
"Who is attached to the dean? Come down immediately!"
"This song doesn't look like the dean wrote it!"
"Is it really so elegant?"
When it was evening, Xu Ye posted a Weibo.
"Just say whether it is elegant or not!"
As soon as he posted this Weibo, the comment area was like a water army, and everyone commented.
"Ya ya ya ya ya!"
For a while, netizens suddenly understood why Xu Ye put the song "Ya" first.
It turns out that you are not a song, you are giving an evaluation of the entire album!
Until the next day, "In the Name of the Father" was still on the hot search.
However, there are many negative comments in the song comment area of Penguin Music.
"I used to think that the Dean's songs were too vulgar, but this one is too elegant. I can't sing this song."
"In the Name of the Father and General are a bit difficult to sing. I can't sing them at all."
"You said the Dean was vulgar, now it's good, elegant songs are out, and I can't sing them."
"You will suffer for your own sins!"
Today is the premiere of Tian Ming's movie "Victims' Code".
When "In the Name of the Father" was released yesterday, Tian Ming's heart was half cold.
It has to be said that Xu Ye's elegant songs are a bit too elegant.
"Let's have a vulgar song today!" Tian Ming prayed in his heart again.
Not only he was praying, but many people were praying.
In the past, Xu Ye wrote vulgar songs, and everyone said they were too vulgar.
When elegant songs came out, everyone couldn't stand it again.
Some singers in the music industry are the most uncomfortable. You are so elegant, how can we survive in the future?
But how could Xu Ye stop so easily?
Don't you want something elegant? Then have some more!
At 12 noon, the fourth new song of "Elegant Music" was released.
The song is called "The Seventh Chapter of the Night".
This song is still written by Huang Junlang, composed by Jay Chou, and arranged by Michael Lin and Zhong Xingmin.
On Earth, this song is also known as one of Jay Chou's dark trilogy.
"In the Name of the Father" is also one of them.
This song was released in 2006 and included in the album "Still Fantasy".
It is said that in order to write this detective-themed song, Huang Junlang bought props such as a pipe, a cane, and a tall hat, and put himself into the role of Sherlock Holmes and wrote the lyrics of this song.
This is a song full of stories, and the MV of the song is like a movie.
After the release of "The Seventh Chapter of the Night", a large group of listeners flocked to Penguin Music.
"This song title looks elegant at first glance!"
Most listeners still like this style of work.
Tian Ming took advantage of the lunch break to put on headphones in the hotel and opened "The Seventh Chapter of the Night".
He just wanted to hear what level Xu Ye's song was and whether it would affect his movie box office.
As the song started, melodious string music came.
Tian Ming was suddenly startled.
These music interweaves a special atmosphere.
He is a film director and is very familiar with this atmosphere.
Film is a systematic project, an art of light, shadow and sound. Music is also very important in movies. There are even awards specifically for music in film awards.
The prelude of this song gives people a sense of movie.
"It's still an elegant song!"
Tian Ming's expression has twisted.
The song sounded at this time.
"The alley was clear in December 1983~"
"The Seventh Chapter of the Night~"
"The typewriter continues to push to the next line that is close to the facts~"
"The mist of the heather pipe drifts to the withered tree, crying to me silently~"
Tian Ming was stunned.
It's rap again!
This is already the third rap song in this album!
As Tian Ming continued to listen, he felt more and more that this was not a song at all, this was a fucking movie!
He seemed to be following a detective in search of the truth of a murder case.
When Xu Ye's singing ended, a female voice came.
"If evil is a gorgeous and cruel movement~"
"I will write its ending with my own hands~"
"The light of the morning sun dries the last line of sadness~"
"The black ink stains tranquility~"
Tian Ming didn't understand what was so great about the composition and arrangement of this song, but as a film director, he still had basic aesthetics.
After listening to the song, he was left with shock.
"If I could use this song as the theme song of my movie at that time, no, even if it was just an interlude or background music, it would be worth at least 100 million box office!"
His movie is a detective-themed movie, which can be said to be very compatible with this song.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
After the release of "The Seventh Chapter of the Night", a group of people in the music industry knelt down again.
Those music critics were dumbfounded.
I just finished playing it yesterday, and you’re playing it again today!
I used up all the lyrics yesterday!
But when these music critics heard “The Seventh Chapter of the Night”, how could they resist making a few comments?
Various interpretations began to appear, and some people even gave this song a complete story.
Netizens have very big imaginations.
The female voice in this song is sung by Xiao Xu, which also made Xu Xu Rusheng's fans excited.
When it was evening, Tian Ming was browsing the discussion on Weibo and suddenly saw a hot comment.
"I watched "The Victim's Code" today and listened to "The Seventh Chapter of the Night". I feel that the song is better than the movie."
There are many replies from netizens in this comment.
"It's true. I feel that the story told in "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" is more interesting."
"Director Tian has worked so hard. He has been busy for a year and directed a movie for everyone that is tasteless and a pity to throw away."
"Director Tian's starting point is good, but it's a pity that he met "The Seventh Chapter of the Night". If this song is made into a movie, it should be very interesting."
Looking at these discussions, Tian Ming was numb.
He thought that it was just "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" that stole the popularity of his movie, but he didn't expect it to directly steal the box office!
A song is better than a movie, which is outrageous!
The problem is that he has no way to deal with it. In the music industry, Xu Ye now has absolute dominance.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Xu Ye posted another Weibo.
"Is it elegant enough?"
This time, the patients in Huohua Hospital couldn't help it.
Everyone commented below.
"Dean, please say something vulgar. I feel like I'm allergic to elegance!"
