Chapter 38 The Second Movement "Breaking the Cocoon"(1/2)
November 1st.
This is a day that many people in the Yanzhou music industry will pay attention to, and it is also a time that some people in the entertainment industry care about.
Can Silver Wings continue the quality of the first movement?
Song Shihua, the big boss of Shihua, sat in the office with a full set of top-level audio and video equipment in the morning and waited. As long as he looked at the second movement, he could confirm whether his guess was true.
Did Blade, have you spent a greater investment in this second movement? If so, then, it is obvious that Blade Blade is going to use "epic" to push Aurora, the virtual idol, to compete for the endorsement of the game!
Eight o'clock.
This is the working hours of many companies and the breakfast time before morning classes in many schools.
The new century is divided into three stages: early, middle and high school education, each stage lasts for six years. Elementary education is equivalent to primary schools before the end of the world, secondary education is equivalent to a collection of junior high schools and high schools before the end of the world, while higher education is education after high school, similar to universities, but also involves deeper teaching content.
At this time, many students from intermediate education schools in Qi'an were riding bicycles or taking public trains to the school and heading straight to the school cafeteria.
The welfare of New Century School is quite good, the food is good, and it is cheap. In the morning, you can go to the school for breakfast and then rush to the classroom. This is the daily routine of many students who do not live in the school.
At this time, whether it is a student living on campus or a student who does not live on campus, they all run to the cafeteria one after another.
Qi'an No. 1 Middle School, in the North Point Canteen.
The large screen on the walls will play some fast and powerful songs at this time every day to refresh the students. Songs with noisy and soothing rhythms are not heard at all, and may have been drowned by the noise so that only a few unclear tones are left.
November is the time when most intermediate education schools in Yanzhou usher in midterm exams, and schools still attach great importance to such large-scale exams.
Students sitting in the cafeteria for breakfast in groups of three or three complaining about their studies, homework, life, and emotional germination.
While drinking soup, someone responded to his classmates' words, and looked at the big screen in the cafeteria from time to time to see if there were any images they liked.
"It's all those every day, and you can guess what you can put next with your eyes closed."
People in the era of high-tech network communications have learned too much when they were young. The more they grow, the fewer things they feel that make them feel fresh. The images and songs on the big screen may feel a little when they first listened to them, but boredom will come quickly. It’s only now that they are impatient.
The person who planned to stop looking at the screen suddenly heard a scream from his classmates around him.
"Look, Aurora!"
"Where??" Someone looked around.
"Big Screen!"
"By the way, I almost forgot that today on November 1st, the second first of Aurora is coming out!"
Some media once conducted a survey and found that the most accepted student of "Heavenly Punishment" was not a high-level education school, but a middle school student.
Although students in the intermediate education period are at an age of restlessness, they do not have the impetuousness of higher education students touching the margins of society. It is also a period of psychological sensitivity. Perhaps this is why they are more likely to be motivated.
On November 1st, at 8 a.m., the second movement of "The Hundred Years of Destruction" was released on the online platform.
At the beginning, the overall color of the image was dark, but the picture was very clear. The screen in the canteen was large enough, and hardware facilities such as projection equipment were all admission advertisements for each school, so the quality would naturally not be bad.
What appears at the same time as the picture is the music of nervous, panic and emotional tone.
A continuous bass and repetitive rhythm, paired with the less harmonious and pleasant tone of electronic music, a crescent sense of oppression comes.
From the traditional musical aesthetics, electronic music weakens the musicality of the song, blurs the boundary between music and sound, but enhances the sensory stimulation of the music, bringing the listener a sense of curiosity and a little nervous. The human souls seem to communicate with the land of the end of the world in music.
The world has been destroyed for a hundred years, and the time and space in the image that originates from reality but is not reality.
In the second movement, Fang Zhao used more electronic elements.
If the first movement is the success of electronic music combined with orchestral music, then in the second movement, the electronic music has been completely integrated into the music.
In the current information age, human society has undergone tremendous changes in living standards compared to mental states before the end of the world. In the information age, with the high development of science and technology, mechanical automation and artificial intelligence have become common objects in life, and along with these are various sounds belonging to mechanical electronics. This sound is filled with life in the new century, and people have long been accustomed to it.
New century music uses this and incorporates the material of music. People's aesthetics are changing, their preferences are changing, and the so-called popularity is also changing.
Electronic music produces more tones and sounds. Compared with traditional musical instruments, electronic elements can better reflect this era and are more easily accepted by people.
Therefore, the creators of the new century either use electronic materials or use traditional instruments to match electronic music. Following the local customs, Fang Zhao absorbed these new things into his works and incorporated the sound with metallic and electronic sound into the music. After all, the music style that has spanned too long may not be easily accepted by the public.
The first movement "Heaven Punishment" is heard by many people, with an alternative classical music style, and the appropriate novelty will attract people. But if it is too much, it will be rejected.
In the cafeteria of the North Point of Qi'an No. 1 Middle School, the originally noisy sound was slightly smaller, and more people noticed the images on the big screen.
Because the cafeteria is always noisy, the sound of the audio equipment is louder, and the noise is smaller, and the sound of the music is more obvious.
The gloomy sky in the image is dripping with rain. Behind the image of the devastated image, the melody of the bass is a little lyrical, and the sound of the horns is sad and long, revealing a deep sense of helplessness, as if mixed with tragic and desolate feelings.
People who choose to leave their hometown and find new survival points are looking for trees, hoping to be shattered by reality again and again. The world is full of crises, and I don’t know where to be safe, nor do I know if there is still a peaceful place for them to survive.
The companions who left the old place together either died of illness or were bitten to death by the ill beasts. The trees were covered with scars, and disappointment, boredom and decadence were everywhere inside and outside.
For them, life is already at a low point. The belief that originally looked for a new place gave up resistance under the cruel reality. The long-term sense of fear and helplessness is about to swallow their consciousness.
The classical style of loss and numb music conveys despair and horror. The low harmony is pressing step by step against the backdrop of a somewhat dark orchestral music.
There seemed to be a voice whispering in my ear, "Did you see it?"
The chanting of harmony is low, with the undercurrent of crisis, telling the coldness and ruthlessness of the end of the world and the powerless wailing of sentient beings.
The figure at the front of the tree group also had many scars on its body, with obvious scratches and broken branches, and the green leaves rolled up on the branches became sparse, which was very embarrassing.
In front of me is a hillside, with some bloody and evil mad beasts moving on the hillside.
Behind the rear is a group that has been severely damaged by cruel reality.
Behind the thick images is the graceful sigh of bass strings, as if everything will end in this sound.
You see, the world is like this, there is no help, give up, don’t go forward, find a place to hide, and pray that your luck can last long enough, and live one day is one day.
The surreal-style picture, combined with orchestral and electronic music, creates a grand absurd feeling, with repeated struggles, and seems to stand under the abyss and look up at the cold and cruel arrangement of God.
Just being strong is no longer enough to support them in continuing to resist such a fate.
There is no neutrality in this era!
The strange sound effects brought by a large number of electronic tones, the percussion with changing rhythms kept playing, the trembling sound flashing, the solo bass was desolate, and the figure in front of the tree group walked forward in the thick tone.
After two steps, he turned around and looked at the clan, but no one followed. He looked forward and a figure with claws was already running towards him.
...
There was almost no sound of speaking in the cafeteria of the North Point of Qi'an No. 1 Middle School. The person who had already delivered the spoon to his mouth even forgot to drink, staring at the picture on the big screen with his eyes.
The chefs who were cooking in the cafeteria all made lighter movements.
The atmosphere in the entire cafeteria became tense, and there seemed to be a string pulling back and forth in my mind.
...
In the image, the lonely figure walking towards the hillside, the branches that had already gathered on both sides tightened and twisted again to form strong arms, and the roots of the tree are also twisted into more tough and powerful legs.
The tone of the string sounds that are pulled back and forth, as if the inner resistance and the emotions of escape are like the air around them, which cannot be noticed, but are always shrouded around.
The two parts of the music seem to have different forces and emotions chasing and entangling. It seems that there is a heavy cocoon that binds the figure, and every step is so difficult.
“Everything has been depressed
Where is the light
…”
Obey fate?
What is destiny?
Where is the past? I am sad and sad from my hometown.
Life in the end of the world will be sad, melancholy, but will also struggle and resist!
In the dark clouds in the sky, there was lightning flashing, the wind gradually became heavier, and the rain became stronger.
The wind music was like a gradually strong and crazy howling. The heavier drum beats were like the rumbling of thunder, indicating a stronger storm.
Drums, wind music, bass, and some electronic elements play a very layered melody. The changeable male humming, with a tragic meaning of a deeper force, seems to be about to burst out.
The figure walking forward alone, with brown pupils shrinking, looking at the approaching red-brown beast like dry blood, leaning over and picking up a stone from the ground and holding it in his hand.
The string sounds like the tense sound of branches.
With a big step, the body leaned forward, the arms formed by twisting branches were raised, and the hand holding the stone formed a suffocating arc in the air, as if a fierce hammer was swinging, hitting the pounced figure!
Bang!
A heavy drum beat sounded like the figure with its claws falling down in the image, and it also seemed like it had cracked some invisible things.
The figure in the image gasped, watching the threat of being smashed.
The keys that were repeatedly tapped one after another seemed to be confirming something, and the high melody behind it made the atmosphere less heavy.
He finally discovered that after he faced many things bravely, they were not as terrible as he imagined, and the world would not be alarmed.
But...so!!
The sun sets today and rises tomorrow. Although the sky is covered by thick smoke and dust, he knows that the sun is still there!
He raised his foot and stepped heavily on the fallen beast, completely ruining the chance to open his sharp teeth again, and stomped all the sharp claws and fangs that once scared them!
Looking back at the clan, he moved forward again, threw away the stone in his hand, picked up a larger stone stick, and headed towards the second mad beast, from strode to running. His clumsy body also seemed to be flexible, as if he had gotten rid of the heavy cocoon that had been covering his whole body.
