Chapter 72: Good News
"Happy times are always short-lived, and it's almost time to say goodbye to everyone, so how about we ask Lin Zhimo to sing one of the title songs from his latest album?" Li Jing said.
In the cheers of the audience, Lin Zhimo stood up and said: "The song I want to sing for you is called 'Inverted Earth', this song is completely different from my last album and all the other songs on this album, because this is a music that is biased towards the hip-hop genre, I don't think you have heard much of this type of song." ”
Dai Jun naturally knew much about this as a musician before, so he asked in surprise: "Rap songs?" This type of Chinese music is really rare. ”
The two hosts had already heard the song backstage, and they also liked the melody and rhythm of the song very much, but they still pretended not to know at this time.
Li Jing asked cooperatively, "Why?" As far as I know, this kind of music is very popular in Europe and the United States. ”
Dai Jun explained: "Because from our language point of view, Chinese pronunciation is fundamentally different from English pronunciation, and rap is a type of music that is more suitable for English pronunciation works...... I have to say, Zhimo you really took a big risk with this song. ”
The last sentence is Dai Jun's voice from the heart, although Dai Jun likes this song very much, and the dynamics brought by the song almost make him jump, but each record does not only look at the quality of the music work, but also needs to consider the acceptance ability of the masses, whether they like this type of music and so on.
Lin Zhimo is quite relieved about this, he does not believe that this kind of music can be popular in Europe and the United States but there is no market in China, especially with the acceleration of world integration, Chinese's ability to appreciate European and American music is gradually strengthening, Lin Zhimo believes that this song will be popular among Chinese young people.
However, Lin Zhimo didn't explain too much, smiled and said, "Before singing this song, can you ask everyone to stand up and cooperate with me?" ”
After Dai Jun's explanation, the audience at this time was also full of curiosity about Lin Zhimo's new song, so they all stood up cooperatively.
Lin Zhimo took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on, and smiled at the audience: "Isn't this more handsome?" ”
The audience, especially the female audience, shouted, "Yes! ”
Lin Zhimo snorted proudly and said, "Someone has always told me that I am ugly before, and I just said it, in fact, I am just handsome and not obvious." ”
The audience burst into laughter again.
Lin Zhimo even pointed to the audience and said: "You guys are really good! I think each of you has the most eyes for beauty! ”
In another burst of laughter from the audience, Lin Zhimo made a gesture to the director that could start.
The music at the beginning was not very loud, and the strong rhythm of the rap song was not felt at all, but as the melody rose, Lin Zhimo jumped up in place suddenly.
"Wow!" Lin Zhimo screamed.
In the amazed gaze of everyone, a strong and stimulating rhythm entered their eardrums, accompanied by Lin Zhimo's voice.
“bowwowwow
Let me see your hands
Defy gravity and turn the Earth upside down
bowwowwow
Now it's not time to be verbose
Survive or get out of this rhythm
bowwowwow
Let me see you nodding
Dancing to my music is right
bowwowwow
Now it's not suitable for dodging
Hit head-on to see how I turn the earth upside down."
When Lin Zhimo sings, he doesn't just walk around like other songs, his steps seem to be jumping, and they move with the rhythm of the music, which makes people feel the urge to dance with him after watching it.
After this dance, Lin Zhimo's movements slowly stopped, and then a long rap began.
"Open your eyes and see through the earth
** of a piece of the sky
I spread my hands and accepted all the most primitive rhythms
Do you feel relaxed?
Do you feel the cells beating?
Change of pace
Swing of the body
Relaxes your whole body
I can't be wordy from now on
Step into my realm
The frequency is too shocking
Your heart is going up and down
Follow me, do me, nod to me, and wave your hands
Everything in the world is connected to my music, and it follows my footsteps."
This lyric is not only long but also complex and difficult to remember, but Lin Zhimo pronounces the words clearly, and everyone on the scene can hear what Lin Zhimo said clearly, and can also understand the meaning of Lin Zhimo's lyrics.
Maybe it seemed to the audience at the scene that Lin Zhimo was singing well, but the host Dai Jun on the side was completely frightened. As a musician, he naturally knows that this kind of rap is very difficult for singers, especially the transformation of breath, the clarity of words, and the grasp of intonation are not easy.
The most important thing is that Lin Zhimo did it, and he did it perfectly, he used his long breath and strong singing skills to control this song easily and effortlessly.
While Dai Jun was surprised, Lin Zhimo's singing continued.
"Let the world turnarounddancearoundeverybodyhavesomefun
Don't try to suppress the traditions that define our world
Let the world turnarounddancearoundeverybodyhavesomefun
There's no right or wrong, I just want to dive into the rhythm
Let the world turnarounddancearoundeverybodyhavesomefun
Music has no freedom, as if falling into a black hole
Let the world turnarounddancearoundeverybodyhavesomefun
Now follow us to create order in the new century."
At this point, Lin Zhimo screamed again: "Friends! Follow me and get moving!! ”
The lyrics began to repeat, the rhythm became more and more obvious, and Lin Zhimo's voice seemed to have a demagogic power, and everyone began to fall into a frenzy under this extremely poisonous rhythm.
Even Li Jing, who had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, stood up and twisted his body to the rhythm of the music.
The audience at the scene were all young people, and at this moment they were completely moved by Lin Zhimo's song "Inverting the Earth", and involuntarily followed Lin Zhimo to raise his hands and slowly move his body.
……
Since the official release of Lin Zhimo's second album at the beginning of the month, sales have begun to climb, selling 100,000 copies on the first day, and then sales have also increased wildly with the beginning of Lin Zhimo's tour and signing in various places.
On the one hand, the people who buy the album are fans who like that singer, and naturally hope to get the record in the shortest possible time and hear the voice of their favorite singer; On the other hand, there is the impact of piracy, the longer the time, the more pirated discs will be on the market, which also affects the sales of albums.
Lin Zhimo's first album because of the special sales method that relies on word of mouth, so there will still be a blowout after a few months of distribution in the market, but that method can not be repeated, so Lin Zhimo will use this traditional promotion method for the second album.
By the end of June, the album had sold 1.8 million copies, and if it continued at this rate, it would be no problem to break through 2 million, but it is unlikely that it will continue to achieve higher results.
But despite this, Lin Zhimo's album still surprised many musicians.
"Contemporary Music Scene" clearly pointed out that Lin Zhimo will be the mainstay of the Chinese music scene in the next decade or even longer, which can be seen from the quality of his two albums.
"Weekend Entertainment" also admired Lin Zhimo's creative ability, believing that with these two albums, Lin Zhimo could stand at the top of Chinese music history.
"Echo" magazine's point of view is still unique, from the perspective of Lin Zhimo's record sales, they are worried about the piracy of Chinese music, and they even assert that if it were not for piracy, Lin Zhimo's album sales would exceed 5 million!
Lin Zhimo is now holding "Echo" and slowly flipping through it, and he doesn't feel that the 5 million Lin Zhimo mentioned by the magazine editor is so exaggerated and unacceptable, because Lin Zhimo also thinks that this album could have sold more, and whether it can reach 5 million is beyond Lin Zhimo's control.
At this moment, Lin Zhimo's mobile phone rang.
"Zhimo, two good news! Which one do you want to hear first? Huo Xiwen's excited voice came in on the phone.
Lin Zhimo thought for a while and said, "Let's listen to the worse one first." ”
