Chapter 298 Award-winning song - "Nocturne"
When a song is particularly powerful, everyone's attention is attracted by "Dongfeng Po", and they immediately comment after listening to the song.
So much so that even the two divine songs that followed were ignored.
It was not until someone mentioned "Nocturne" that everyone suddenly realized it.
"Nocturne", included in Jay Chou's album "Chopin in November", also known as "November's Arrogance", was released on November 1, 2005.
But the premiere time of "Nocturne" was October 17, 2005, which was the anniversary of Chopin's death.
"Nocturne" was first broadcast on the radio, and the number of people listening to it worldwide at that time exceeded hundreds of millions, which can be said to be an unprecedented large premiere.
At that time, piracy was very serious. The first version that many people heard was like this: "Now I'm going to give you Jay Chou's super premiere! But I have to speak, because there are many illegal operators, so I'm sorry, please forgive me, this single is called "Nocturne"..."
However, what made the host speechless was that the illegal operators directly recorded her voice, which became a new classic.
As a result, many people still like to listen to the radio version, thinking that the official version is not that flavorful, and without the sound of the radio version, "Nocturne" is not complete.
The influence of the first impression is so exaggerated that many people are no longer listening to the song, but the original memories.
The power of memory killing, even the official version can't do anything.
The illegal operators won a great victory.
Speaking of "Nocturne", this song is not the best one among all Jay Chou's songs, but it is undeniable that this song has made more people know Jay Chou.
This is a song that is completely opposite to "Seven Miles of Fragrance". If "Seven Miles of Fragrance" is bright love, then "Nocturne" is gray despair.
The ultimate of "Seven Miles of Fragrance" is "Nocturne".
It is also a divine song with a killer prelude, but it has a different style. "Nocturne" tends to be dark, one bright and one dark. Only the album "New Era" is complete.
The greatness of "Nocturne" is needless to say. Nearly 20 years later, the number of plays of this song can still rank in the top ten of all Jay Chou's songs, and occasionally it can even rush into the top five.
And the divine songs ranked before "Nocturne" are "Seven Miles of Fragrance" and "Sunny Day".
As soon as "Nocturne" sounded, he went on stage to receive the award.
This sentence has been circulating 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". He would play "Nocturne" every time before going on stage to receive the award.
By the fifth time Jay Chou received the award, he went from being serious and rigorous to being perfunctory, because he was at a loss for words.
With this song "Nocturne", Jay Chou won five awards at the 2006 Chinese Music Chart, including the Best Song of the Year, Best Singer-songwriter Award, Best Male Singer, Most Popular MV Award, and Most Popular Male Singer.
So netizens jokingly called it "When the Nocturne sounded, he went on stage to receive the award."
But this list is not the most prestigious Golden Melody Award.
Therefore, this "Nocturne" has always been questioned.
Not only "Nocturne", but the entire album "Chopin in November" has not won any Golden Melody Award.
The lack of high-quality awards has also become a reason for many people to suppress "Nocturne".
What kind of good work is it without awards?
However, it is absurd that the number of pre-orders for "Chopin in November" exceeded 2 million copies in Asia, and the final sales volume was more than 3 million copies, ranking first in Asia.
On November 1, the day the album was released, long queues formed in audio stores everywhere.
In the crowd, there were not only familiar classmates, but also the old-fashioned and serious Chinese teacher, the gray-haired dean of teaching, and the frail physical education teacher took the lead.
This is 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 like "Learn to Meow" that has no artistic value. The popular "Learn to Meow" has been popular for a long time.
In the past nearly 20 years, "Nocturne" has always been enduring.
This is the choice of the times and the choice of the public.
Of course, another reason why "Nocturne" has been criticized is "street stale".
Street stale has become a derogatory term because it means that the things you like are very common. Just like wearing clothes that don't like to wear the same clothes, many people think that this cannot highlight their uniqueness and is a very embarrassing thing.
However, "street stale" has extremely high requirements for songs. Not only must they be artistic, but they must also be commercial.
There are several ways for a song to be street stale. One is that it is played on the streets and alleys. Whether you want to listen to it or not, the song will get into your ears.
One is occasions with extremely high attention, such as the Spring Festival Gala, the Olympic Games, etc.
Another is TV series with extremely high replay rate, such as "Chinese Military Soul" in "Bright Sword".
The requirement for a song to be popular is very high, but the standard for testing whether a song is popular is very simple - even if you have never actively listened to it, you will sing a few lines.
Does the fact that "Nocturne" has not won the Golden Melody Award affect its status?
No.
Because the three albums "Qilixiang", "November Chopin" and "Still Fantasy" all won nothing at the Golden Melody Awards.
During this period, Jay Chou won the Best Single Producer Award only for the single "Huo Yuanjia".
This is in stark contrast to the fact that Jay Chou's albums sold well throughout Asia.
The credibility of the Golden Melody Awards has been questioned.
In a word, the Golden Melody Awards did not award Jay Chou, not Jay Chou's loss, but the loss of the Golden Melody Awards.
Does not awarding an award mean that the song is not good? Does not awarding an award mean that Jay Chou is not the best male singer?
The Golden Melody Awards no longer have credibility, but Jay Chou is becoming more and more brilliant.
The recognition of industry professionals is indeed very important, and Jay Chou has far surpassed those so-called professionals. Does it still matter whether he wins an award 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 judge it based on subjective feelings.
This is the truest feeling in everyone's heart. If it sounds good, continue listening, and if it doesn't sound good, go to the next one.
Follow your own inner feelings and don't be influenced by so-called professionals outside.
In the music circle, the excited musicians also remembered that there were other songs.
Everyone clicked on "Nocturne" at the same time.
As a representative work of prelude killing, some people think that "Nocturne" is also a masterpiece without the song, and the prelude alone can arouse everyone's interest.
A burst of electric current sounded, a bit like the interference sound of radio FM.
This sound is familiar to everyone. When I was a child, the radio changed channels with this sound. The prelude seemed to bring my thoughts back to twenty years ago.
It brought me back to that past time, which was very retro.
Many people almost did the same action at the same time-pulling back to the beginning of the music.
"Another prelude killing!" Many people sighed.
Society is becoming more and more impetuous, and people hope to find something they are interested in within three seconds. This is the case with novels, movies, and music.
A good prelude is the standard for many people to choose songs, but it is very difficult to write a catchy and good prelude.
"The prelude is as good as "Seven Miles of Fragrance".
Many people made the judgment immediately. "Seven Miles of Fragrance" is already a song with a recognized invincible prelude, which has attracted countless people to imitate.
But they didn't expect that there would be another song "Nocturne".
Is it another sweet love song?
Soon they found out that they were wrong, because the prelude was very sad, and the rhythm was very fast, with drums, piano, guitar...
Generally, 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 are attracted by rotten meat.
I look at the lonely scenery with a blank expression.
After losing you, love and hate begin to be clear,
After losing you, what else is there to care about."
As soon as he spoke, he shocked everyone again.
The classical music style arrangement, the melody is full of seriousness, but he is actually rapping?
"Fuck! Rap?" Some people couldn't help but swear.
Nuoyan has already shown his unique skills in "Compendium of Materia Medica", adding ethnic culture to rap.
But classical music plus rap, to be honest, they have never seen it before.
Classical music is serious and generous, rap is hip-hop and uninhibited. The two completely unrelated styles are blended together, and surprisingly - it sounds particularly good?
Modern singing, classical melody, is it another new style?
At this moment, many people began to be confused. The new genre "Chinese style" has just been confirmed because of the release of "Dongfeng Po".
What style is this "Nocturne"?
Classical plus rap?
How dare someone play like this? How dare he?
Many people can't believe it at all.
Another innovative song has appeared.
Confusion, shock, and panic have overwhelmed the Chinese music scene.
If this continues, the Chinese music scene may really be occupied by this man.
"New Era" may become an era of promises.
The singing continues.
"When doves no longer symbolize peace,
I am finally reminded that
the vultures are fed in the square.
I use beautiful rhymes to
describe the love that has been plundered."
The vague lyrics, rap-style singing, and no longer gorgeous lyrics all make this song particularly special.
Many people had to look at the screen and try to see the lyrics clearly.
The biggest advantage of fast songs is that although the lyrics are completely unclear, people are curious and want to study them in detail.
The lyrics are extremely heavy but elegant, with images such as ants, rotten meat, and vultures that occasionally pop up. A person who is extremely sad, with a numb expression, a sad atmosphere of despair enveloped every listener.
The sense of substitution is too strong, and some people can't help but want to wrap their clothes tightly, only to find that it is August now.
The scorching sun in summer seems unable to drive away the coldness on the body.
