LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 236 This is rap!
The opening guest of the eighth episode was this episode's kick-off singer. When Lin Jiajia and the audience saw Zhao Lei walking on the stage, they were also surprised.
"The kicking singer is actually Zhao Lei!"
"Oh my God! This episode's kick-off guest is actually Zhao Lei, and now all the artists from Zhou Yu's company are here, haha!"
"It's true. In the previous semi-finals, I watched his performance with Wang Jiachao and thought his performance was very good. It's quite acceptable to be a kicking singer this time."
"Hey, if this happens, doesn't Zhou Yu want to write a new song for Zhao Lei?"
"It's really possible. Zhao Lei is not a singer-songwriter. Zhou Yu probably wants to prepare new songs for him. If this is the case, then we can hear two new songs composed by Zhou Yu in this issue."
…
The figure Lin Jiajia was looking at had eyes shining with light, and there was a hint of expectation in her expression. This episode was originally the rap song that Zhou Yu was most looking forward to, and it was a duel between Zhou Yu and Liu Zifan. Now the singer is Zhao Lei, which makes people look forward to his performance.
This is Zhou Yu's first artist, and Lin Jiajia paid attention to him when he was in "Son of Idol". A boy who was very shy before, but now looking at his steady appearance on the stage, he is completely different from before. Zhou Yu allowed him to participate in so many programs and perform, which obviously trained him up.
When the music slowly started playing, looking at the song information, the name "Zhou Yu" was written on the songwriter column, which made Lin Jiajia and other viewers smile knowingly.
"Sure enough, Zhou Yu actually wrote a new song for him."
The album Zhou Yu used to debut for Zhao Lei was tailor-made for Zhao Lei and was of high quality. This time, a new song was prepared for Zhao Lei, which reminded everyone of the scene when Zhao Lei made a strong debut with the album Zhou Yu produced for him after "Son of Idol" ended.
At that time, Li Xingyu, who was highly favored by Starlight Entertainment, also released a new album, and Zhou Yu stared at him. Li Xingyu was directly killed, and the commercial value was cut in half. Now even with the resources of Starlight Entertainment and Taochang, the development is not as good as Zhao Lei and the others.
"The nameless person..."
Looking at the title of Zhao Lei's song and listening to the intro, the soothing feeling makes people gradually relax. This is the charm of slow songs. There is no fast pace or heavy music, which is very reassuring.
"I am the nameless person on this road
I have no news and no one comments
I have to try my best to get an ordinary script
There are so many twists and turns that I can’t make a living..."
Listening to Zhao Lei's singing, Lin Jiajia knew that Zhao Lei had always been a singer who was good at folk music. This kind of singer who sings folk songs is very suitable for singing this kind of lyrical slow songs.
"This song... is so realistic."
Lin Jiajia listened to the song written by Zhou Yu for Zhao Lei. With its simple and plain lyrics and the special title, "The Nameless Man" was a song for countless ordinary people, and the sense of realism came to her face.
Zhou Yu's songs are just like that, they are very visual and realistic. Especially for such realistic songs, Zhou Yu can always capture the softness deep in people's hearts and hit people's hearts directly.
The whole song, with its simple lyrics, depicts the scenes of nameless little people who try their best to barely survive. These can be said to be true portrayals of the masses outside.
Every little person, in addition to being forced by life, actually seems to have vague dreams in their hearts, but most of the time, for the sake of life, they hide them deep in their hearts and do not show them to others easily.
The whole song is about ordinary life and their difficulties. Just like the sentence "I just want to touch every moment I bend over with my hands, is it worth the soaked footsteps left behind?"
This sentence deeply moved Lin Jiajia and every audience. Zhou Yu used simple and unpretentious words to portray the appearance of the little people. For these "unnamed people", there is only growth without miracles. They can only move forward with a heavy load and resist the unexpected wind and rain of life. Because the breadwinner is the one looking for hope among the tall buildings.
"In addition to the lyrics, the music is also very memorable."
"The song breaks the common two- or three-part formula of many songs and turns into an ABCD four-part pattern. This is relatively rare..."
After listening to Zhao Lei's song "The Nameless Man", Lin Jiajia also liked the song very much. There is nothing wrong with Zhao Lei's ability. His magnetic mid-bass voice, coupled with the song Zhou Yu wrote for him, combined to perfectly present this song to the audience. She feels that there is no problem with Zhao Lei's success in this period, and his ranking may even be a bit high.
"The songs Zhou Yu wrote for Zhao Lei are so good. How about the new rap song he brought this time?"
Lin Jiajia watched the next guest performance without any interest. After watching Zhao Lei's performance and seeing how good the quality of the new songs Zhou Yu wrote for Zhao Lei was, I am even more looking forward to the rap songs Zhou Yu will bring this time.
This is the first time that Zhou Yu sings a pure rap song in this episode, which is completely different from the short rap that was interspersed in the lyrical songs before. Moreover, this issue is a duel between Zhou Yu and Liu Zifan and other people from the rap circle. That group of people have been dancing very hard recently. Lin Jiajia can't stand these people. She really feels that their rapping is incomparable with Zhou Yu's.
But unfortunately, this Liu Zifan and those people always feel that they are very powerful.
"I hope Zhou Yu can let those people take a good look at what rap is."
As the program aired, Liu Zifan also appeared. The scene switched to the lounge, and the tit-for-tat scene between Zhou Yu and Liu Zifan was cut out.
"I have always heard that Teacher Zhou Yu has done a lot of research on rap, but he has never brought a complete rap song. I guess he doesn't know much about it. If Teacher Zhou Yu is willing, I can listen to it more later. Rap is still very helpful to Teacher Zhou Yu.”
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene. Isn't this the scene that appeared in the previous promotional clip? The feature film is here!
The smell of gunpowder is so strong that even through the screen, everyone can feel the tit-for-tat between Zhou Yu and Liu Zifan. Liu Zifan, in particular, was so sharp that Lin Jiajia couldn't help but frown at this scene.
"Why does this scene look familiar?"
Seeing Liu Zifan who was now provoking Zhou Yu, Lin Jiajia thought of Zeng Huayu, who had been eliminated early and had not appeared in public so far. The two people were somewhat similar.
Zeng Huayu was so arrogant before, but he was beaten by Zhou Yu and left with his tail between his legs. This Liu Zifan is so arrogant. If he gets slapped in the face later, it will be very painful.
Lin Jiajia looked at Zhou Yu, and he just replied lightly.
"Oh? I also have a rap song later. Teacher Liu can listen to it too."
With just such a sentence and Zhou Yu's bland expression, Lin Jiajia felt that Zhou Yu might not pay attention to Liu Zifan at all.
"This guy is so arrogant. Will he lose his rap skills later?"
"I also think Liu Zifan is too arrogant. It will be very painful if he loses later."
"Haha, how can we lose? Our brother Zifan can't lose. He is the number one rap artist in the country!"
"That's right, when it comes to rap, our brother is a professional, and Zhou Yu is definitely no match for him!"
…
On the barrage, there was already a quarrel, and Lin Jiajia watched Liu Zifan's performance.
"It's still a new song, written with famous foreign rappers."
Listening to Liu Zifan's new rap song, Lin Jiajia frowned slightly: "The song is not bad, but the lyrics are too rubbish."
This is Lin Jiajia's feeling after watching Liu Zifan's performance. The song is just like that. The tune is not bad. It is probably composed by such a foreign rapper. As for the lyrics, they are really hard to describe, a lot of slobber and not nutritious.
The key is that although watching Liu Zifan's performance, the atmosphere was very good and the audience had a great time. But Lin Jiajia really feels that his song is not very good. The current audience is also fascinated by these inferior songs, and they are still so high now.
"I wonder how Zhou Yu's rap is?"
The more she watched, the more she looked forward to Zhou Yu's performance. Finally, when Zhou Yu appeared at the end of the show, Lin Jiajia quickly put down the snacks in her hands and turned up the volume.
"Come on, come on, Zhou Yu's rap is coming!"
"After waiting for so long, I finally have Zhou Yu's rap song. I'm so looking forward to it!"
"Haha, I want to see if he can do it."
"Stop making trouble. If a layman like Zhou Yu raps in front of Liu Zifan, isn't he asking for abuse?"
…
Lin Jiajia didn't pay attention to these barrage, but stared at Zhou Yu on the stage. As the prelude sounded, a burst of electricity flashed and the music entered.
"Thing thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump…"
Listening to this fast-paced melody, Lin Jiajia felt like her eyes lit up with the prelude.
"Nocturne..."
This is the title of Zhou Yu’s first complete rap song.
The feeling that seems to pull people into a mysterious night scene comes all of a sudden. And listening to the intro, it gives people a retro medieval feeling.
"This song... has a lot of elements, a fusion of Chinese and Western music?"
This was Lin Jiajia's feeling after listening to the prelude. She could tell that there were a lot of musical elements integrated into Zhou Yu's song.
"Traditional music and modern pop music, as well as the fusion of Chinese and Western music..."
After hearing it, Lin Jiajia's breathing became a little rapid, and Zhou Yu was using various musical elements to create new music!
She had a hunch that Zhou Yu's "Nocturne" would become an iconic and representative song!
She hasn't listened to it yet, but she has this idea in her mind from the intro of the song.
Zhou Yu's songs are like this. Just hearing the intro can catch people's ears. This kind of situation cannot be experienced in the songs of other singers.
"A colony of bloodthirsty ants are attracted to carrion
I look at the lonely scenery with an expressionless face
After losing you, love and hate begin to become clear
If I lose you, what else should I care about..."
As soon as Zhou Yu opened his mouth, Lin Jiajia and many viewers were instantly stunned. Everyone has heard of Zhou Yu's rap, but what they have all heard before is just a short rap interspersed between Zhou Yu's slow and lyrical songs. From the beginning, it was a rap song, which was the first time I heard it.
Zhou Yu's slurred enunciation not only gave him a different flavor when singing his lyrical slow songs, but when singing rap songs, he seemed to feel like a fish in water. Zhou Yu's singing style and unclear enunciation make rapping feel more interesting.
"Play Chopin's Nocturne for you
In memory of my dead love
A sound like the night wind
Heartbroken sounds good
My hands are typing very lightly on the keyboard
The thoughts I give you are very careful
The place where you are buried is called Netherworld..."
Listening to Zhou Yu's song, Lin Jiajia's heart beat faster and her breathing became a little faster. Staring at the screen intently, watching Zhou Yu's performance in the show, this song "Nocturne" really has a refreshing feeling. The sense of surprise that hits her face really subverts her previous understanding of rap. Know.
"This song is complex and diverse, integrating a variety of musical elements, not only the fusion of domestic traditional music and modern pop music, but also the fusion of Chinese and Western music..."
The more Lin Jiajia listened, the more frightened she felt, and the more terrifying she felt about Zhou Yu. There was really no one with such talent.
and……
This is Zhou Yu’s first complete and pure rap song. But Lin Jiajia feels that this "Nocturne" is far superior to those popular raps on the market, one by one. As far as the lyrics and music of Zhou Yu's "Nocturne" were concerned, they were several steps ahead of them, and they were no longer on the same level at all. The key is that Zhou Yu's song is very bold, with various musical elements, a combination of Chinese and Western music, and a very retro feel.
"The lyrics of this song have a faint dark flavor. It feels like watching a movie. Zhou Yu seems to express the complexity of emotions in this surreal way, and the lyrics are even more... There is a strong sense of philosophy in it.”
The more Lin Jiajia thought about it and savored Zhou Yu's "Nocturne", the more shocked she became. There was more and more brilliance in her beautiful eyes, and she couldn't help but grab her ankles with her hands, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, staring at the screen and watching the program.
"The most amazing thing is Zhou Yu's arrangement ability. The song is very complex, and the fusion of various musical elements is so perfectly combined by Zhou Yu. I'm afraid no one can do this ability... …”
Lin Jiajia was shocked. This song crossed the boundaries between tradition and modernity, perfectly blending Eastern artistic conception and Western music forms, creating a brand new listening experience and bringing a new kind of music to everyone. Next level rap song!
She looked a little excited and looked at Zhou Yu's figure walking off the stage after finishing his performance. His figure was tall and straight, full of confidence.
"Zhou Yu is... he is going to subvert the entire rap circle!"
“Once this song comes out, there will be no more rap in the rap circle!”
The number one person in the rap circle is just a cloud in front of Zhou Yu's song. Zhou Yu is the real king!
This time, who else is saying that Zhou Yu doesn’t understand rap!
For people like Liu Zifan and Lin Hao in the rap circle, this song will be the most powerful slap in their faces!
"This issue, there is no suspense anymore."
If Zhou Yu couldn't win the song "Nocturne", then Lin Jiajia felt that there must be something shady about this show, and the reputation accumulated over so long would be considered bad.
"I'll go! Zhou Yu's nocturne is so nice, and the lyrics are so advanced, so artistic!"
"Really, the lyrics and music are much better than those rubbish songs by Liu Zifan and others."
"Hiss! As soon as Zhou Yu's nocturne came out, people were immediately distinguished. I didn't expect that the quality of Zhou Yu's first rap song was so high. I don't think anyone dares to say that Zhou Yu doesn't understand rap!"
…
Now after watching Zhou Yu's performance, everyone was amazed by his "Nocturne" and Zhou Yu's rap. The results are now very obvious. Zhou Yu must be the first. If he doesn't take the first place, they will overthrow the show team.
But fortunately, the final result was good, there was no shady story, and Zhou Yu came first. Liu Zifan, who had been clamoring before, just finished sixth.
"Zhou Yu is first and Zhao Lei is third, which is pretty much what I expected."
The corners of Lin Jiajia's mouth raised slightly. After watching the performance, she actually already had a rough ranking result in her mind. Zhou Yu's masterpiece "Nocturne" is definitely No. 1. He wrote a song "Unknown Man" for Zhao Lei. There is no way that Zhao Lei will be ranked low in this period. He will definitely succeed in kicking the club.
As expected, Zhao Lei directly rushed to the third position with this song, and Shen Guangyan was squeezed out by him.
"Shen Guangyan feels much calmer now."
Because he had always lost to Zhou Yu before, Shen Guangyan always had an aura of hostility in him. Every time he saw him, he could always see the desire and passion to win in his eyes. But recently, Shen Guangyan made her feel as if she was relieved.
But this is understandable. After competing with Zhou Yu for so long, I have always wanted to win against Zhou Yu. After trying so hard, there has been no success. Anyone else would have lost their mentality.
Looking at the footage of the show, Liu Zifan's face was full of disbelief. He didn't believe that he would lose, and he looked like he was lost. Lin Jiajia and the audience all wanted to laugh. This guy, now that he has lost, looked like a clown from beginning to end.
"Looking at Liu Zifan's last look, it reminded me of an old friend."
"Oh? Is it the same thing as me?"
"Hehe, I also thought of that person, Zeng Huayu. This Liu Zifan feels even crazier than him, but now he has been beaten to the ground by Zhou Yu."
"People like Liu Zifan and Lin Hao, now take a closer look at what rap is. Don't keep barking. If you have this time, you might as well improve yourself."
…
That night, after the eighth episode of "Singer" was broadcast, the hot searches immediately exploded. Zhou Yu's "Nocturne" directly reached the top of the hot search list, and its popularity exploded.
"Zhou Yu's new song nocturne!"
"Zhou Yu's first rap song!"
"Zhou Yu, this is rap!"
"Zhou Yu's rapping is so advanced!"
"Nocturne masterpiece!"
"Liu Zifan lost!"
"A bunch of clowns!"
"The eighth episode of Singer is on air!"
"Zhao Lei is a nameless person!"
…
The video of Zhou Yu's performance on the "Singer" stage tonight went viral on the Internet. Originally, Liu Zifan and Lin Hao, people in the rap circle, dissed Zhou Yu and stepped on Zhou Yu, saying that he didn't understand rap and so on, so they started to make a fuss. . In addition to the previous episode of the program, Liu Zifan's provocation against Zhou Yu attracted even more attention to this episode.
Everyone is looking forward to Zhou Yu's first complete rap song. As soon as the show aired tonight, many people went to watch it. Now it has been spread on major platforms. Zhou Yu's "Nocturne" The child exploded.
This is not only due to Zhou Yu's popularity, but also because of the excellent quality of this song "Nocturne". Even the audience feels that this is the highest quality rap song currently.
"Oh my god! Is this rap? What was that I heard before? Was it shit?"
"I've always heard that Zhou Yu's rap is very advanced and nice, but I still didn't believe it. I thought he didn't know how to play pure rap songs. I didn't expect that this nocturne would be so nice and of such high quality!"
"Holy crap! This is called rap. Those were all sung by ghosts and monsters before."
"It turns out that there are really rap songs that don't require random shouting or vulgar lyrics to be so good. After listening to Zhou Yu's nocturne today, my eyes have been opened."
…
This song "Nocturne" really subverted everyone's understanding of rap songs, although some people have said before that Zhou Yu's rap is very advanced and sounds good. But today, this is Zhou Yu's first pure and complete rap song. This is his rap song in the true sense, but it subverts everyone's understanding of traditional rap songs with its super high quality.
This song, whether it’s the lyrics or the music, or even Zhou Yu’s singing. Compared with the popular rap songs on the market now, it seems to be extremely high-end, just like the sky and the earth.
With a crushing gesture, Zhou Yu used this "Nocturne" to hit Liu Zifan and others who questioned him in the face hard!
Even this "Nocturne" is like a masterpiece, placed among this bunch of rap songs, it looks extremely noble and sacred!
Now on the Internet, Liu Zifan and Lin Hao’s social accounts that dissed Zhou Yu’s rap songs were directly flushed. Whether it’s the comment section or private messages, everyone is being scolded.
"Haha, take a good look at what rap is. If you don't have the skills, don't scream here."
"Some people just want to take advantage of our Zhou Yu's traffic and popularity. Now they are slapped in the face."
"What rubbish. Look at those rap songs of yours. The quality is lower than the last, and some of the lyrics are even more vulgar. Learn from Zhou Yu."
"Come, come, take a good look, listen to more nocturnes, this is called rap!"
