This year's Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony and the Golden Horse Awards are only two weeks apart.
So after Jiang Yan was crowned the Golden Rooster Emperor, the media's attention soon turned to the Golden Horse Awards.
If Jiang Yan can still win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor this time, it is almost certain that Jiang Yan's record will be difficult to surpass in the future.
But before the Golden Horse Awards, there was even greater popularity than this, and that was Jiang Yan’s album released on December 12.
It has been two years and two months since Jiang Yan last released a Chinese album, and it has been even longer since Jiang Yan last released an English album, two and a half years ago.
In the past two years or so, the Chinese music scene has also experienced great development like the original time and space.
Adu, Xin Band, Jay Chou, Xu Wei, Tao Zhe, Yang Kun, JJ Lin, Jolin Tsai, SHE...
At a glance, it was revealed that many powerful figures in the next few years had already been born.
Each high-quality and widely sung song truly dominates the charts.
"He Must Love You Very Much", "It Doesn't Matter", "Sunny Day", "Look at My Seventy-Two Transformations", "Superstar"...
It can be said that the two years were like a battle between gods and gods.
So in this situation, Jiang Yan is about to release a solo album again. Although many singers at the same time have avoided it, the media's words are still very torn.
Some say "The King Returns", some say "Times have changed", and some say "Waterloo is scheduled".
In short, there are some who are optimistic and many who are pessimistic.
Just like in later generations, when Jaylen finally released his professional career in 2022, the popularity was even higher.
The album hasn't been released yet, but I'm already moved by a wave of emotions.
On the day the album was released, the entire internet was flooded with news.
But if after the album is released, it is found that most people are disappointed, or that it does not reach the level expected by Jaylen, then of course there will be people who will defend it, but on the other hand, there will definitely be more people than expected who say that "the talent is exhausted".
And that’s still in 2022 when peers are not doing enough.
Convert this situation to today's era of fighting between gods.
If Jiang Yan's album fails to meet expectations, the result can be imagined.
With everyone's expectations, time soon came to December 12th, BJ time.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, before the Aimin Audio and Video Store in Beijing opened, a queue had already begun in front of the door. The queue did not look particularly long at first glance, but in fact it was because the owner Wang Aimin had already set up roving railings in front of the store.
Therefore, the small street in front of the store is actually a procession that has been folded three times. The total number of people is close to a hundred people, and there are still people joining behind.
Seeing such a grand occasion, Wang Aimin, the owner of Aimin Video Store, was very emotional.
"The God of Wealth must be Jiang Yan!"
Although the overall market for physical music albums in the mainland is now much larger than before, with the rise of listening to music on the Internet, mp3 has become popular, piracy has become more and more rampant, and various audio and video stores have opened.
Under such circumstances, even the Chinese music scene is visibly more energetic, but it is really rare to see so many people queuing up on the first day of a singer's debut.
So Jiang Yan has become the God of Wealth to Wang Aimin and other small bosses.
"I hope you can set a record this time!"
Wang Aimin prayed to Jiang Yan's latest poster, which will be on sale this time.
He has already listened to Jiang Yan's new album, and he said it sounds great!
He believes that this album will definitely not disappoint fans.
So the more he sells, the more money he will make.
It’s almost the end of the year, and the God of Wealth, who I haven’t seen for two years, finally appears.
With this in mind, Wang Aimin turned on the player, put in the CD of Jiang Yan's new album, and then pressed the play button.
And as the music of the first song played.
Not long after, the fans lining up outside suddenly became commotion.
When Jiang Yan released his album this time, there was actually no other singer who had placed it on the charts beforehand.
None of the media knows what the information about Jiang Yan's album is.
All I know is that the new album will be released on December 12th.
This also makes fans not know what Jiang Yan's new song is like until now.
Fortunately, Jiang Yan never disappoints.
After Wang Aimin pressed the play button, the first song only played for half a minute. The fans outside were already convinced that today's money would definitely not be wasted!
“Damn it, whose song is this? It’s so good!”
"This is Jiang Yan's voice. The new album really sounds good!"
"Boss, open the door!"
"When the boss gets up, stop dawdling and open the door!"
"..."
Under the urging of everyone, the rolling shutter door of the video store was quickly opened from inside.
Then customers started pouring in.
"Take your time, don't rush..."
"I want two, hurry up, I still have to go to work."
"I want three."
"If you have any posters, please ask for them, hurry up..."
At the same time, all the video stores in major cities across the country were like this.
In fact, queuing up to buy something is a very interesting behavior.
As long as there are more people in the queue, more people will be attracted, and the queue will grow longer unconsciously.
And when the level opens, even the people at the front seem to be more anxious than the people behind.
Then the magic of queuing was born.
That’s fun!
At this time, people passing by will unconsciously become curious.
So the following conversation took place:
"What is for sale?"
"Jiang Yan's new album!"
"Oh, that's no wonder, let's go take a look too?"
"There are too many people. Let's check back later."
"There's already a queue early. You see there are a lot of people, so let's hurry up..."
This kind of conversation is not like this for everyone, but it also adds to the lively atmosphere to a certain extent.
Such a grand occasion made Tang Yan, who had just arrived 5 minutes ago, very happy.
She looked at the increasing number of people behind her and thought that if she had bought breakfast earlier, there would probably be dozens more people in front of her now!
She is a fan of Jiang Yan, a die-hard one.
It combines fans, movie fans, fans, fans, etc. all in one.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So now that Jiang Yan is releasing a new album, Tang Yan will naturally be the first to support it.
It's a pity that Jiang Yan doesn't seem to have any fan organizations, otherwise he would have been able to get the album earlier.
Fortunately, this is not bad. There are less than a hundred people in front of me, and the boss has been shouting that there is enough stock, so I will definitely be able to buy it today.
With this thought in mind, a pair of reporters came outside the team.
Not long after the reporter arrived at the entrance of the video store, he started to report to the camera very professionally.
As for what Tang Yan couldn't hear clearly, although the scene was noisy, they had a microphone, so there was no need to shout out.
But looking at the reporter walking backwards while reporting, Tang Yan couldn't help but wonder, if one day I were to be a guest reporter and interview Jiang Yan, would I be able to control the situation?
That is certainly unlikely.
The laughter is guaranteed!
That's Jiang Yan!
Thinking of this, Tang Yan couldn't help but laugh.
As a result, this scene happened to be captured by the camera, and the reporter also cooperated and brought up the topic.
"Hello, are you here to buy Jiang Yan's new album?"
The reporter didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point.
Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, then adjusted her state, and then replied energetically: "Yes, I am a fan of Jiang Yan, and I am here to support Jiang Yan, come on Jiang Yan!"
As a sophomore Chinese opera student, I basically have no problem dealing with this kind of scene.
And she is not shy in front of the camera. After all, as a star reserve, this is the exposure time, so her performance is much more decent than many amateurs.
Of course, there are still flaws, that is, she just caught a cold, but her throat is not smooth yet.
As a result, the reporter reluctantly asked another question: "Can you sing a few of Jiang Yan's songs?"
Tang Yan still doesn't realize what's wrong with this.
It's not that she doesn't know how to sing, she's just not professional enough.
Besides, she has sung Jiang Yan’s songs countless times, and she is like a KTV star.
So without thinking, she directly chose an old song by Jiang Yan that she had been listening to recently, and then opened her voice directly:
"The orchid finger twists the red dust like water~~"
The Gao Dynasty part of the song "Silk Opera" is sung in a dramatic style, and coupled with Tang Yan's matching orchid finger movements, it naturally has a unique flavor.
It's a pity that this is only in theory.
Tang Yan forgot that she had just caught a cold. Her voice was easily broken and there was still phlegm in her throat.
As a result, the expected tone of the play became a drake voice, and it was not coherent, and ended up coughing.
"Orchid ha... twist red... cough on cough on... I'm sorry..."
Reporter: "Okay, let's continue interviewing the next fan."
Tang Yan:"..."
More than half an hour later, Tang Yan returned to the dormitory holding a thick scarf.
It wasn't until she closed the door that she breathed a sigh of relief.
The interview just now was so embarrassing that her face is still red from the cold and shame.
This period won’t become your dark history in the future, right?
Hey, black history actually doesn't matter, as long as Jiang Yan doesn't know about it, otherwise he will lose an opportunity to write a song for me personally. How big is his loss?
Thinking of this, Tang Yan couldn't help but laugh again.
"Oh, Tangtang is back, why is her face so red? Are you in love?"
Seeing Tang Yan's red face, Guo Zhenni, who lives in the same dormitory, started gossiping.
Xu Baihui, another bad friend in the same dormitory, got excited on the spot after hearing this: "What, falling in love? Come here, Tangtang is in love!!"
"Oh, shut up! Otherwise I won't give you an album!"
Tang Yan suppressed the two of them with just one word, and then everyone's conversation quickly shifted to Jiang Yan's new college.
Tang Yan didn't waste any time and took out the album directly from her bag.
It was only at this moment that Tang Yan really saw what the album looked like.
Since buying it, she hasn't looked at it yet and just wants to run away.
But now it seems that this album is thicker than ordinary albums, so there is a high probability that there is more than one disc in it.
When they first saw the cover, several people began to exclaim, "So handsome and stylish."
Tang Yan directly took out the album and distributed it to them.
The next step is to enjoy time alone, so I won’t talk.
After dividing the album, Tang Yan lay back on the bed and looked at the cover again. Her first impression was that the style looked familiar.
"It's a bit like the last one."
As she said that, she took out the "DNA4" album from her desk and compared it. Sure enough, the styles were indeed somewhat similar.
But if you look closely, there are differences.
For example, the cover of "DNA4" features Jiang Yan in half ancient costume and half modern, and the surrounding elements are also half ancient and half modern.
Now the cover of this album is divided into three equal parts.
On the cover, Jiang Yan is standing with his back turned, his face slightly looking back. The layer behind the portrait layer is a large sphere.
The left part is more realistic, with the background being one third of the Earth in outer space, while the right part is more special effects, with one third of the Earth having many high-tech cartoon-like things. In addition to these two, there are also
There is one third of the earth, and there are also many pianos, landscapes, flowers and birds and other patterns on it.
Overall, the cover looked like a movie poster, but Tang Yan knew that this basically indicated that the music style of Jiang Yan's album would probably consist of three parts.
However, it is hard to guess which three parts it is, because the classification of the songs in Jiang Yan's album is a big problem for music critics nowadays.
In the words of some music critics on the Internet: Who knows what standards Jiang Yan uses, don't guess, everyone can divide it according to their own preferences!
Tang Yan agreed very much with this statement, because her own classification of the characteristics of each album's songs was different from Jiang Yan's, but this also made her a little distressed.
Not being able to maintain the same frequency as your idol is a feeling of lovelorn...
After finishing the infatuation, continue to open the album.
Sure enough, this album has two discs.
When I opened the lyrics page and took a look, I discovered another "sure enough" point: Sure enough, there are 23 songs!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jiang Yan was born in 1980 and is now just 23 years old. This is indeed in line with Tang Yan's previous speculation.
Then Tang Yan took off the first CD and put it into her Walkman, put on her headphones, and started listening to the lyrics sheet.
And this listening lasted all day...
On the same day, with the announcement of "DNA5"'s hair style, the focus of the entire Chinese music world became this album.
And in less than half a day, many radio hosts and online media started to define it.
"This is another divine book!"
""DNA5", the quality is as good as ever!"
"23-year-old Jiang Yan proved that he is still the king with 23 songs!"
"Jiang Yan has already started to show off his skills!"
"Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, Jiang Yan is once again covered in all aspects."
"Dali, Coco Tuohai, the Great Wall, Jiang Yan's place name series is another masterpiece!"
"..."
As various reports began to make noise, Jiang Yan's "DNA5" playlist became known to more people.
"DNA5" contains 23 songs, which are divided into three parts.
first part:
"When You Get Old"
"the brightest star in the night sky"
"Fireworks Easily Cold"
"she says"
"Relieve Sorrow"
"Going to Dali"
"Grandma Bridge"
"The Shepherd of Cocotuo Sea"
"Evening Breeze Blows in My Heart" Cantonese
the second part:
"Great Wall"
"5 years"
"My Blessing"
"Wall" in Hokkien
"Qingming"
"Little Man"
"Heavy Snow"
"beginning of spring"
"Spring Festival"
the third part:
"Floating Light"
《Collapsing World》
"time to pretend"
"Flower Dance"
《tassel》
As Tang Yan said before, countless question marks once again appeared on the heads of countless music critics as to why the album was divided into three parts.
Among these three parts, everyone knows why the third part should be separated separately.
Because the third part is pure music, this is also the origin of "Jiang Yan starts to show off his skills".
But why are the other 18 songs divided into two parts?
You said it's understandable that the 24 Solar Terms series in the second part and the somewhat patriotic "The Great Wall" should be divided into separate groups, but "My Blessing", "Five Years" and "The Wall" are obviously
A standard love song.
If you want to classify them by region, then "The Shepherd of Coco Tuohai" and "Going to Dali" should be classified together with "The Great Wall".
The same goes for the genre, the first and second parts overlap.
So, what exactly is Jiang Yan thinking?
Many people are puzzled.
What they don't know is that, except for the pure music in the third part, Jiang Yan's classification in the first and second parts is actually just a simple separation of songs in real time and space and parallel time and space.
The first part is all about what will happen in real time and space in the future, while the second part is the golden song of the parallel world.
For example, "The Great Wall" is the 2001 Spring Festival Gala golden song after the third evolution of "Golden Pink Family" in the world, and its status is comparable to "Unforgettable Tonight".
"5 Years" is the number one selling Chinese golden song in 2008 after the 26th evolution of "The True Colors of a Detective". Its status is comparable to "Fairy Tale".
"My Blessing" is the 2004 hit song after the 14th evolution of "Pink Lady" in the world, and its status is comparable to "Later".
"Wall" is a Hokkien song that makes up the list. It is a Hokkien classic song from 1995 after the fifth evolution of "A World Without Thieves". Its status is comparable to "The World's No. 1".
The rest of the solar terms series are solar terms songs that Jiang Yan found after repeated comparisons in many parallel worlds to promote traditional culture. Although the quality is not as good as the several golden songs above, the quality is not bad at all and has a Chinese style.
There are also popular songs, and their meanings are very good, which fits the theme of the song title. Therefore, in their original world, their popularity is similar to that of "Mang Zhong" in the future of real time and space. However, "Mang Zhong" is a gust of wind, and these are classics that can be sung for a long time.
.
So if we really want to talk about classification, the most likely thing is that the quality of the songs in the second part is the strongest among the three parts.
It's just that the current music critics are limited by the times, and the quality of the first part of the songs is not much worse, and some are even more in line with the aesthetics of the current music critics, so it is normal for everyone to not understand Jiang Yan's brain circuit.
.
And this is indeed the case.
After a short "classification discussion", everyone put aside this unobjectionable research and began to study the album songs themselves.
And the result is no need to guess.
Regardless of the quality of the songs, the quality of the MV, the degree of popularity, and the comparison with the previous four DNA series, "DNA5" has not fallen behind at all, and even has another wave of "outperforming the previous ones".
In other words, Jiang Yan’s return as king this time is well deserved!
And "DNA5" has once again been proven to be a masterpiece!
For a time, the Chinese music scene was shocked again.
Music critics, media people, colleagues, and fans are all excited.
And like the Chinese music scene, there is the European and American music scene.
Because this time, Jiang Yan’s parallel world wool harvesting method has not forgotten Europe and the United States.
So when the earth turns to the west on December 12th.
Not surprisingly, the European and American music scene also exploded...
