Chapter 106 Good Brothers 【Seeking Monthly Pass】
Today is Wednesday, but Wang Yang doesn't have to go to work because he is sick. Today's class is a math teacher enthusiastically replaced, so he stayed in the office and listened to the song boredly.
But when he opened Xingxun Music, an extremely conspicuous banner appeared in front of him: Xu Wenruo's first album "The Wind Rises" was on sale.
Seeing the familiar face, Wang Yang's expression was slightly stunned. He was busy with blind dates recently, so he did not pay attention to the recent news, nor did he know what his roommate was like at the time.
But when he saw that Xu Wenruo had released the album, Wang Yang understood that Xu Wenruo's development must be good, so he directly clicked on Xu Wenruo's album and chose to pay, Wang Yang saw the playlist in the album.
Here are the song titles he is very familiar with. When he sees these songs, he will think of the taciturn boy sleeping opposite him. The two of them also participated in the training camp, but their current status is very different.
Xu Wenruo has released his first album, and Wang Yang is now just an ordinary music teacher and is about to start a family and start a career. Perhaps he can only live such an ordinary life in this life.
Thinking of this in his mind, Wang Yang brought his headphones and lit a song. The reason why he was not jealous of Xu Wenruo was because he knew that he and Xu Wenruo were not the same type of people at all. Wang Yang knew very well that he would never be able to write such a good song.
Wang Yang took a look at the song he played, "The Wind Rises", a simple song title, very similar to the name of the album. It looks like the title song of the album. With the prelude sounding in his ears, Wang Yang was gradually attracted by Xu Wenruo's singing.
"Along the way, I followed the traces of the boy's drifting.
At the moment when I stepped out of the station, I was a little hesitant.
I can't help but laugh at the feeling of being close to home, but it is still inevitable.
And the sky in Nagano is still so warm, the wind blows on the past."
After listening to this song, Wang Yang's eyes became wet, and these words were directly sung into his heart, and he felt it empathy.
He used to be a young man with dreams, but unfortunately reality shattered his dreams. He returned to this familiar hometown, preparing to get married and have children, and spend the rest of his life in a simple manner.
"I first learned about this world, and I lingered in all kinds of things.
Seeing the sky seemed to be in front of me, I was willing to go through fire and water to walk through it.
Now that I have walked through this world, I have lingered in all kinds of things,
After the years, I will look at you and start to break into your smile.”
Wang Yang used to be aware of the whole world. He was full of energy and fantasized that the whole world belonged to him. But now, Wang Yang has realized his ordinaryness. He suddenly remembered the girl he saw on a blind date a few days ago. At some point, her calm smile was deeply imprinted in Wang Yang's heart.
"I have been unable to extricate myself from the greatness of the world, and have also been addicted to the dream talk in it.
Don’t be true or false, don’t make any struggles, don’t be afraid of jokes.
I once turned my youth into her, and I also popped up the midsummer with my fingertips.
If your heart moves, go with the flow.
Walk against the light and let the wind blow and rain."
Perhaps in Wang Yang's own opinion, he is a loser, a person whose dreams are defeated by reality, but in this small city in his hometown, Wang Yang is a person with extraordinary experience, for example, he actually worked as a roommate with the well-known idol singer Xu Wenruo.
Moreover, Wang Yang is not ordinary in this small city. At least in the eyes of that girl, Wang Yang is also a talented person. Since middle school, Wang Yang has begun to pursue his musical dream. His guitar was envied by male students and female students in the school.
Unfortunately, Wang Yang's talent is not enough to enable him to realize his dream, but in the eyes of others, Wang Yang is still a versatile person. For example, the girl who went on a blind date with him a few days ago was the female classmate who admired Wang Yang.
A few days ago, Wang Yang didn't know her when he was on a blind date, but she still remembered him and was full of curiosity about Wang Yang's experience. There was still a bit of admiration in those bright eyes.
Even if Wang Yang said that he had failed, the admiration in the girl's eyes remained unabashed, and her face was full of gentle smiles. She comforted Wang Yang not to be discouraged. He could still pursue his musical dream. Then now he is just an ordinary music teacher.
"The evening breeze blows the white hair on your temples, soothes the scars left by memories.
In your eyes, light and dark are mixed, and a smile is blooming.
The dusk obscures your staggering steps, and walks into the paintings hidden by the bedside,
You in the words, lower your head and speak.
I am still feeling the greatness of the world and intoxicated by childhood love words.
No real or fake left, no struggle, no meaningless jokes.
I finally returned my youth to her, along with the midsummer that bounced my fingertips.
The heart moves with the wind,
In the name of love, are you willing?"
Listening to the full song, Wang Yang was not sure what other people would react, and he had a decision in his heart. He picked up the dusty guitar bag in the corner of the office, and then ran out of the school gate. He also wanted to try to pop out the summer with his fingertips.
One week after Xu Wenruo's first album was officially released, sales exceeded one million. In addition to the few songs that have been released, the remaining four songs have also received good reviews. In addition to this song "The Wind Rises", the other three are "Ordinary Day", "Is Not Worthy in the World" and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles-Ten Years in the World"
The songs on the album "The Wind Rises" have also been widely praised. The twelve songs on the album are of excellent quality. It can be said that several of them are the title songs on other singers' albums, but now they are all concentrated in one album.
Such a high-quality album is of course sought after by fans, and it is certainly not a problem to have such a high sales volume. In addition to being very popular with fans, Xu Wenruo's album has also attracted the admiration of many industry insiders.
On the day the album was released, the well-known music critic Cao Guang posted a music review titled "This Summer belongs to Xu Wenruo". While praising Xu Wenruo, he also briefly analyzed the album.
In advance, I have now become a fan of Xu Wenruo, so my evaluation of the album "The Wind Rises" is not rational at all, nor is it objective in the public. The content contains many praises, please be careful!
I only heard about Xu Wenruo recently. At that time, I was very curious about who was able to write the song "Invisible Wings". Then I found Xu Wenruo. After listening to several of his songs, I was shocked.
The song "Miss Your Lover" is of average level, and there is not much praise for the lyrics or songs. At best, it is just a slandering song, but I can see Xu Wenruo's talent that cannot be concealed from this song.
This is the first song written by Xu Wenruo. Later, I learned about the creation experience of this song from an interview. It turned out that the inspiration for the creation was that a few days ago, a female contestant rushed out and ran away in a hurry.
After watching the interview, I admire Xu Wenruo's talent. My body is a little thin. I have been hit countless times since I was a child, and I have even had the experience of being knocked away directly. But all I gained was perfunctory apology, but Xu Wenruo was able to write a song.
This may be the difference between geniuses and mortals. According to the order of the song release, I listened carefully to Xu Wenruo's second song "Down the Mountain". Compared with the first song, this song has made great progress. Of course, the plus point here is the Tai Chi dance displayed by Xu Wenruo.
However, compared with the slightly casual song in the previous song, Xu Wenruo's second song began to incorporate his own unique charm. He not only incorporated the elements of Tai Chi into the song, but also showed his personality in the lyrics and songs.
If "Down the Mountain" is a manifestation of personality, then "Rareless" is Xu Wenruo's emotional catharsis, and the suppressed anger is fully displayed. But even if it is anger, Xu Wenruo's anger is graceful and calm, which is completely different from the behavior of those clowns.
"Compendium of Materia Medica" is the most amazing song. Everyone who has listened to this song understands what I mean. It is a very unique song. Whether it is the style or the lyrics, it is unique. This song is a reflection of Xu Wenruo's talent. After listening to this song, I became a fan of Xu Wenruo.
The subsequent "Stubborn" and "General Order" are two songs with similar styles. This may be a try by Xu Wenruo. He changed from slow songs to fast songs, and even added a touch of rock flavor. The scene of these two songs is very ignited and suitable for listening on the spot.
The remaining few songs were released after leaving the training camp. "Thousands of Miles Away" is a very classic song. This is a song that can be seen in the elegant hall. The strong ancient flavor of it is definitely a new trend. I am very much looking forward to Xu Wenruo being able to write more such songs in the future.
"Silk Play" is another attempt by Xu Wenruo. He tried to integrate opera into current pop music. This is a wild idea. Life in the opera industry is not easy. Another singer of this song, Su Jing, is a practitioner in the opera industry and was forced to transform into a female singer.
In fact, the first song to integrate into the opera style is "Chi Ling". However, compared with "Silk Story", the style of "Chi Ling" is not very mature, or each has its own beauty, but the effect of "Silk Story" is stronger.
After listening to "Child Ling", many people will have more stories in this song full of emotion, expressing their admiration for actors who are humble and dare not forget their worries. After listening to "Silk Play", everyone's minds are unforgettable to the voice of the opera, and even Xu Wenruo has become a foil.
This style of songs is also reflected in the two songs at the end of the album, so we can conclude that Xu Wenruo's attempt was successful, and opera may also become an indispensable element in pop music.
Both songs "Is Not Worthy in the World" and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles - Ten Years in the World" incorporate opera elements, and opera is sung by Xu Wenruo himself. It turns out that boys can have such charm in opera. I really kneel down. I suggest you don't miss it. Anyway, I have already had a single loop.
It is obvious that the song "The World Is Not Worthy" is a response to Li Dandan. The song is called "The World Is Not Worthy", but the lyrics are everywhere facing us. There are many things in the world that are worth it, just like Xu Wenruo refuted Li Dandan's words at the Tucao Conference.
On the contrary, "The Tomb Raiders' Chronicles - Ten Years of the World" made me not very clear. Apart from the title of the song, this is indeed a very good song, especially the opera style in the chorus stage, which is impressive. I like this song very much, but I don't know what Xu Wenruo thinks about his creation.
What is Grave Robber's Chronicles?
Finally, I came my favorite song, "Ordinary Day". This song was very dull from beginning to end, just like the title of the song, which tells the story of an ordinary day.
I wake up naturally at 7:30 every morning, and the sound of wind chimes sounds in my ears. I go out wearing my dry clothes. The sun shines on the flowers on the roadside, and a nice love song comes from the shop on the street. Isn’t this the life that people yearn for the most?
Yes, I don’t yearn for a life full of excitement every day. Only such an ordinary day is the true meaning of life. After all, there are a few people’s lives that are exciting, and most people’s lives are just the same.
It is precisely because of the ordinary and ordinary song that I am even more touched. This is a song for ordinary people like us. I can empathize with it. This song is really more interesting the more I listen to it. I really highly recommend it.
Finally, I would like to say one more thing. This song must have been written after recording the variety show "Longing for Life", because the atmosphere of this song is so consistent with the program, and it is simply tailor-made for this program.
"The Wind Rises" is an album that cannot be missed. I recommend it to you. The history of the Chinese music scene will surely remember this summer. Because Xu Wenruo appeared this summer, I am also looking forward to what kind of songs Xu Wenruo will write in the future.
Just after Cao Guang published the article, there were many comments below, because the three words Xu Wenruo were wealth codes during this period, and as long as Xu Wenruo was mentioned, you could gain a lot of popularity.
"Yes, as long as you brag about Xu Wenruo, we are good brothers."
"If you know how to write articles, write more! Understand?"
"Yes, my favorite is also "Ordinary Day". When I first heard this song, I felt very dull, but when I was busy all day and alone, I felt the charm of this song."
"I like every song on this album very much, as well as the previous releases of "Chiling" and "Invisible Wings".
"After listening to the album "The Wind Rises", I just want to say one thing: Xu Wenruo is awesome!"
"It's only been a few months since the training camp. Xu Wenruo has written fourteen songs. I have no other intentions, just ask other singers, don't you work harder?"
Chapter completed!
