As introduced before, Jay Chou is a dual-core driver of rhythm + melody, so how did he do it? It seems that there are more and more problems. Hehehe...... Slowly, melody and rhythm, let's put it this way, melody is a monophonic line, it has high and low lengths, and the rhythm is like the sound of horses' hooves, fast and slow, it is a frequency. If the stress is repeated at a fixed time, it's the beat. A regular beat is actually a kind of rhythm. The melody is high and low, long and short, and it is generally divided into vocal melody and instrumental melody, in pop music, popularly speaking, the vocal is a combination of melody and rhythm, and then the accompaniment, drums and bass are rhythms, and piano guitar strings can be harmony and melody. This theory may not be true, but it will make it easier for you to understand. Or to be more vivid, before it was said that the arrangement was a gorgeous coat, then now the melody is the human torso, and the rhythm is the bones, boy, I see you bones are amazing......

For example, in the song "Nunchuck", does Jay Chou speak or sing? Obviously, this question is a false proposition, as we said above, the melody can actually be said, as long as the tone you say has high and low, fast and slow, and there are long ups and downs, that is to say, there is no too fixed distinction between speaking and singing.

You can listen to the whole song again carefully, in fact, the "talk" is very rhythmic and melodic. For example, "three sections~" such as "hard foundation kung fu~", such as "their son~", such as "there is a look", etc., including harmony. What Jay Chou did was to blur the boundaries between rapping and singing, and to wander away from them.

Then the beat, which is the unit of rhythm, has become completely irregular.

In the song, Jay Chou deliberately blurs the role of the lyrics, that is, the sentence that many people in the bar say, this is the rhythm, such as "Rock/Yakiniku Shop", such as "There are three / sections in the tea ceremony", such as "One/One Horse Step Forward" and so on. Of course, these are not only reflected in the sentence breaks, there are rhythmic breaks, and in the melody, Jay Chou also cleverly uses the rap of the melody to make the "talk" more melodic charm. For example: "Practice the iron sand palm to play the Yang family gun", such as "hard foundation" such as "their son", the most obvious is some pronunciation after the second pass. For example, the section that starts at 1 minute and 36 seconds, which is the essence of the melody rhythm, and the section that starts at 2 minutes and 13 seconds. In this way, Jay Chou skillfully integrates melody + rhythm into rap, and the kind of sentence breaking, creating zào, syncopation, mixing, and creating a comfortable and unstoppable rhythm makes people hearty, and the dual-core drive really plays an effect.

Many people used to be extremely obsessed with Jay Chou, thinking that he was the first in Chinese, and if they liked him, they thought he was the first, which must be blind, but now, if someone understands the true meaning of the song and the true meaning of the rhythm, then in terms of talent in this regard, they will firmly find that the melody is high and low, and each has its own love, but in terms of rhythm, Jay Chou is second, and no one dares to say first! Remember, rhythm is not just rap.

Of course, many people will have questions, will these technologies ensure that the song is good? In fact, technology is one thing, whether it is good or not, this has to be analyzed from the quality and combination of the song and arrangement, and the singer's interpretation. Because you have to know, why is Jay Chou's song like this, and why aren't other songs? For example, the various treatments of "The Death of Stopping the War" are one word, death. This song "Nunchuck", I can describe it in one word: burning! Explosive burning! All the qiē serves the sake of this word.

Start with the prelude. At the beginning, the electric guitar solo kicked off the explosion of explosion, and then the drums were added, and then the bass became richer and richer, and more and more burning. At the beginning of the vocals, Jay Chou's rap was directly turned into an instrument at the moment, integrated with the arrangement, this is the wonder of rhythm + melody, and then continued, and the accompaniment even added gongs. "How to change how to change", the addition of Hakka harmony makes the main theme of the song rich and three-dimensional, until the chorus, "Use nunchucks, hum hahe", to the chorus accompaniment repeats the previous prelude, the chorus is over, the second A section is over, at this time there is no cut into the chorus, but the erhu is added, and the erhu interprets the submelody! (Zhong Xingmin, please stand up and applaud) and then continue to repeat the chorus, at this time the erhu continues, continue. End of chorus. At the beginning of the third pass, the A section ends, and at this time there is no chorus, but a piano interlude, and the piano interprets the submelody! (Zhong Xingmin, please stand up again, applause!) The whole piano solo made the whole piece suddenly a lot quieter, (but wouldn't it be burning!) Not combustible? Hehe...... Wait a minute. ）

Then the chorus cuts in, and for a moment it is noisy again, "Use nunchucks, hum haha!" "Repeat repeat repeat, push to the highest - climax. Towards the end, there is a 2-second pause, then the music comes back, and the last big gong stops. This song has 3 solo, the electric guitar in the intro, the erhu in the middle, and the piano. The prelude is noisy, but the middle two places are unusually quiet. There's even a 2-second pause at the end, why! In fact, they do the same thing, or that word, burn, the whole song is three paragraphs, but only 3 minutes and 21 seconds, unusually compact, if, just blindly burn to the end, it is inevitable that the aesthetic fatigue and boredom after the burning, the height and quality of the song and the durability of the hearing will be greatly reduced, the two solo in the middle not only ensure the layering of the whole song, but also make the whole song have a kind of progressive pleasure, which can be described as miraculous, in view of this, the Golden Melody Award for Best Arrangement is well deserved. (Zhong Xingmin, please stand up again, applause!) ）

Of course, the biggest contributor to the creativity and overall arrangement of the whole song is, of course, the maker himself, Jay Chou. In fact, there is a rough prototype of the piano solo in the demo of the nunchuck. In addition, the repetition + hum of the last paragraph of this song comes from the demo.

This song was actually written to Zhang Huimei at the earliest, but it was rejected, and Zhang returned the manuscript, which made Zhou's hegemony the beginning.

The three solo of this song is where the soul is.

The final pause is the finishing touch.

Jay Chou's interpretation of rap brought the explosive rhythm of the whole song into full play. It is not an exaggeration to say that this song is a masterpiece of Jay Chou's songs.

The song nunchucks will definitely leave a very important mark in Jay Chou's music career in the future, and it will definitely leave a good story in the Chinese music scene a few years later. Its significance is equivalent to Jay Chou's contribution to the Chinese music scene. "Nunchuck" has opened up a new situation for Chinese creators in one fell swoop, and made the world pay attention to the voice of Chinese again!

The dust is finally settled.

After "Nunchuck", Du Xinghe released Fang Yajun's pinnacle work of Zhou's dark wind - "In the Name of the Father"!

The cool morning dew wets the black dress~

There is a fog on the stone road and the father is whispering~

The helpless consciousness can only be more cruel~

Bow your head and kiss my left hand~

In exchange for the promise of being forgiven~

The old pipe organ is in the corner~

Always always always accompanied~

The black curtain is blown by the wind~

The sun penetrates wordlessly~

Sprinkle it on the beasts that have been tamed by me~

Shout silently, shout silent~

Loneliness begins to ferment~

Keep laughing at me~

Memories are gradually burning~

The picture of the once innocent~

Cruelly and gently appeared~

Fragile time is ~

Let's pray together~

……

Merciful Father, I have fallen in~

I can't see the kingdom of sin~

Please forgive my conceit~

……

No one can say that there is no one to say~

It's hard to bear~

Behind the glory is engraved a loneliness~

……

Close my eyes and I see again~

The picture of that dream back then~

The sky is misty~

Father held my hands~

Walk gently through ~

The quiet stone road in the early morning~

A promenade leading to ~the hall~

The same ~ unspeakable vicissitudes of life ~

There is no hustle and bustle ~ only tranquility surrounds ~ I~slowly fell asleep~day~just dawn~

……

While enjoying this song, it would be perfect if you could watch Godfather 2 again.

So before enjoying this last song.

Du Xinghe wants to talk about the second generation of godfathers, Mike-

Mike was penitent when Fredo died,

It should be the moment the gun goes off,

Mike regretted it,

He bowed his head,

Indeed, he is repenting,

But Mike had to do it.

It's his responsibility.

At the end of the film, it's a memory,

A family reunion that Mike recalled,

At that time, the old V was still there,

Mike announced his enlistment,

Everyone's table xiàn is different.

And Fredo's blessing made him nostalgic.

Mike at the end of the shot sits alone,

Just like the cover of "Ye Huimei".

This is the loneliness of men.

Behind the glory is engraved a loneliness.

……

The mottled family crest ~ wiped overnight ~

The brilliance of loneliness ~ the feeling of understanding ~ ……

In the fourth year of the Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty ushered in its heyday.

To this day, there are still people who doubt the ranking of this song, first in the name of the father, and others are arbitrary. Regardless of connotation, technology, spirituality, interpretation, thought, sexuality, status, MV, lyrics, melody, arrangement. All first. Undoubtedly.

Before talking about this song, let's talk about the album "Ye Huimei". Ye Huimei is one of Du Xinghe's favorite albums, and in his opinion, "Ye Huimei" is more difficult than "JAY" and "Fante Xi". He has always made no secret of his preference for "Octave", because "Octave" has made Ye Huimei, so he must thank "Octave".

"JAY" and "Fantesi" are the defining criteria. What is a definition, a thing, from nothing, this is called a definition, and the definition is difficult. But let's stand now, at this moment, we understand Jay Chou, I look back at "JAY" and "Fantesi", I think it's not difficult, why, because he is Jay Chou, he has this talent, in that era we admired, we didn't understand what he had in his head, and today we understand, so it is not difficult to say that Jay Chou redefines the market, he doesn't define, who does? Who called him Jay Chou.

"JAY" and "Fantesi" got off to a perfect start, not only redefining the Chinese-speaking market, but also defining two words for Jay Chou himself, genius. When the market is still slowly digesting J-style music, all kinds of music critics and producers are using a magnifying glass to examine this rare genius, what kind of pressure is this, at this time "Octave Space" came out, and soon for the first time, there was a call for Zhou Lang's talent, whether it was a gimmick or a hype, the second year of the Golden Melody Awards, Jay Chou was tragically Waterloo.

Let's take a look at "Ye Huimei" again.

Jay Chou himself knew in his heart that he had to come up with something. Jay Chou was simply a conceited spokesperson in the early days, not the spokesperson of Dudu now. In the early days, Jay Chou was full of anger and conceited to the bones. Jay Chou did his best and prepared the following works to fight again.

Dongfeng Po: A benchmark work of Chinese style, the entanglement of pipa and guzheng has written a new chapter in Chinese ancient music, the king of Chinese style, which has not been surpassed so far.

Sunny day: Campus folk style, fresh to death youth memory. Don't tell me that memory is a plus, a song that can suck a lot of memories, you can't accept it!

You can hear it: the burst of spirituality, Jay Chou's casual to forget jì into the song.

Terrace: This is rap, you don't have to bite the words hard, but scolding and swearing is the essence of rap, not only its sense of rhythm, but also the connotation that is difficult to understand.

Class 2 of the third year: The strong contrast between the extremely difficult arrangement and the confusion of a simple teenager, this song is not only a memory, but also a heartfelt voice.

The ranking of these 5 songs Du Xinghe also gave, the reason why "Ye Huimei" has mixed reviews is not that "Ye Huimei" is too bad, but the inconsistency and level differentiation of the "Ye Huimei" album. "JAY", "Fantesi" and "Octave Space", the whole album is undoubtedly all masterpieces, the first main track, and the concept is also very unified. "Octave" is the best album of integrity, and even the singing of the whole album is very uniform. The level is also the most average. However, the standard of the 5 songs of "Ye Huimei" is too high, and the whole album is a bit deformed. Do you think it's really bad for Coward to tune up her eyelashes, love cliff double knife? Not necessarily, any song that gets the top three is a conscience work, but it's a pity that they happen to be in "Ye Huimei". And that's not even counting the song "In the Name of the Father", which is used to define the perfect divine work.

Continue to go back to the "Ye Huimei" mentioned earlier, the first three are definitions, so why is "Ye Huimei" more difficult, because what "Ye Huimei" wants to do is subvert! It's beyond! No matter how much you say that you love the top three, you can still say with certainty that "Ye Huimei" has truly achieved nirvana and transcendence. Jay Chou can surpass under the pressure www.biquge.info of almost full scores in the top three, and at this time, we have to say that Jay Chou is worthy of the king's status.

"In the Name of the Father" is not just a song, but also like a blockbuster movie, just like "The Godfather", which is wonderful and shuddering. The whole song starts with a short prayer, from the first second to establish the height and artistic conception, the strings advance, first talk about the previous short paragraph, when listening to it, it seems to be experiencing the opening of a blockbuster, the picture moves in the long shot, welcome to Italy-Italy-Italy, the strings continue, the typical exotic style, what emerges in the camera is the Bu-La-Leg-Wide-Field, the streets of the West-West-Rio-Island, and the holy church. The prayer continues, halfway through the prelude, the Italian-Great-Italian opera girl voice is high-pitched, for no reason, in the quiet church square in the picture, suddenly white doves fly, the typical combination of movement and stillness of the Woo John Woo-style cinematic scenes can actually be realized in the song, the strings are nervous with the female voice, and the prayer seems to be trembling until Amen. Come to an end.

Amen. ”

Nearly 1 minute of prayer and soundtrack is a visual and auditory treat. The previous prayer in Italian also tells me the first meaning of the Father in the title of our song "In the Name of the Father": God the Father.

The prelude continues, and with a few "judge" harmonies, the high-pitched female voice is finally released, as if the judgment hell of the West is judging all things in the world, in the honor of the Father, so we pray and ask the Father to forgive us for our sins.

Listening to this song would be great if you could bring some repentance. 1 minute 04 seconds The main melody background instrument appears, a bit like a clarinet, but it feels like it's from the keyboard, in fact, this is a synthesized sound effect, it is this melody that runs throughout, this melody is very important, it lays the tone and artistic conception of the whole song, and it is very well chosen, one of the reasons is that it is better to match the complex harmony and various sound effects, such as the female voice that appears from time to time. There is no sense of disobedience. At this time, the drum kit enters, and the prelude of the whole song officially begins. Voices come in. At this time, a full 1 minute and 20 seconds had passed.

"Cool morning dew ~ wet black dress ~

There is fog on the stone road ~ the father is whispering ~ Helpless consciousness ~ can only be more cruel ~

All for the road to the church~"

In fact, the first 2 sentences can be combined with the violin strings at the beginning, and the same montage technique renders the artistic conception. The sense of picture is already bursting from the beginning. The sentence "helpless consciousness ~ can only be more cruel" appeared at the beginning, in fact, it was a bit early, and it was actually difficult for the audience to understand the meaning of this sentence at this time. In the MV, in fact, the main plot is prayer, what does Jay Chou pray for as a mafia, it is nothing more than to make excuses for his ruthless killing! Helpless enlightenment? Hehe, laugh, helpless? I am very helpless, to avenge my biological father, but now I also need an excuse to repent in front of the Holy Father, I am helpless, I can only be more cruel. This qiē is all for the way to the church. What kind of mentality do you say Huang Junlang has? The mentality of hanging explosion, every sentence points to the hearts of the people! The song here starts with R*B rap, and the melody and arrangement are perfectly matched. R1152
