Chapter 239 "Golden Armor" The city is full of chrysanthemums, whose world is it?

"Golden Armor" is a song composed by Jay Chou, written by Fang Wenshan, arranged by Michael Lin, and sung by Jay Chou.

This song is the promotional song for the movie "A City of Gold" and is also one of the two theme songs.

The song "On Earth" became the best-selling debut single of mobile wireless music that year.

It was almost with the two songs "Golden Armor" and "Chrysanthemum Terrace" that we started the era of great songs from bad movies.

In fact, the reason why "The Golden Armor" is called a bad movie is mainly because the plot is embarrassing, but in other aspects it is at least passable.

It can be said to be a typical example of plot ruining everything.

Among them, the two theme songs are the best in the movie.

on the stage.

After Liu Silei handed over the stage to Fang Xing and the other two, the staff presented musical instruments.

Since this song is in a rock style, the accompaniment instruments are mainly electric guitar, electric bass, and drums.

The reason why I chose this rock-style song is because the audience at the scene is relatively young and more accepting of rock-style songs.

If it were on "Song", it would be difficult for rock-style songs to impress the audience in their 60s and 70s.

The wonderful thing is that although "Golden Armor" is rock style, it is also Chinese style. The two styles are combined very cleverly, creating a unique charm.

It can be said that in the field of Chinese rock and roll, this song is a supreme masterpiece.

Fang Xing carried the electric guitar, and Guo Keda carried the electric bass.

After the two were ready, they stood in front of the microphone stand, looked at each other, and then gave a thumbs up in the direction of the band.

The band began to play the prelude, and melodious and simple tunes sounded, giving a feeling of experiencing historical events across a long time and space.

Immediately afterwards, the drummer of the band joined in and beat the drums.

After the strong rhythmic drum beats were added, the intro began to turn into a rock style.

Fang Xing’s electric guitar and Guo Keda’s electric bass join in, and multiple instruments compete.

Just the prelude makes people feel a murderous aura coming towards them.

After the prelude ended, Fang Xing grabbed the microphone and started rapping along with the drum beat:

“The flags are like rainbows, and the mountains are stacked like peaks.

"This army is as winding as a dragon and murderous as the wind..."

The rap with a tight rhythm comes out like a barrage of cannons.

The audience and guests at the scene immediately raised their eyebrows and stared. The first feeling was surprise, while the second feeling of the music critic was surprise.

The style of this song is so unique. There are very few songs of the same type in the music world, and masterpieces are even rarer.

The musicians at the scene all felt the same way:

"This is a bold attempt. The combination of the two styles can easily go astray if not handled well."

"If this song is successful, then I will admire him even more. Music needs more attempts and exploration. Combining the two styles is a good direction."

"It's hard to say yet, I still have to keep listening and seeing."

To the surprise of the music critic, the song reached the chorus.

Fang Xing grabbed the microphone, his whole body moved to the tune, and sang the chorus in a high-pitched voice:

"Blood stains the armor, I kill with tears.

"A city full of chrysanthemums, who owns the world?"

"Above the palace, there is smoke and sand.

"Life or death is nothing but a scar from a knife..."

The sonorous and desolate singing swept the entire audience, as if the stage was a battlefield in the bleak autumn wind, with chrysanthemums falling and blood-stained armor.

This song is about a palace war, a war for royal power.

In the song of blood and killing, Fang Xing sang with a trace of unbearability.

It's like the state of mind at the moment when you swing the knife.

In the midst of the killing, he finally sang a free and easy and decisive voice that ignored life and death.

Originally, the musicians and music critics at the scene were just pleasantly surprised after hearing the fast-paced rap of the verse.

When the chorus came out, the song covered multiple emotions, including killing, unbearable, helpless, free and easy, and determination.

The expression on the musician's face, who has been deeply involved in music for many years, gradually changed from surprise to astonishment.

The well-known music critic Luo Siwei praised: "I originally thought that he was combining two styles and exploring a new musical field.

"I didn't expect that he would directly compose this new style of ceiling song. I really don't know whether to be happy or helpless."

The musician next to him agreed: "Yes, it is good to create a new trend and style. But if the pioneering work is too strong, the style will basically be perfected. Other musicians have no way to try this style, because

There is a huge mountain blocking it, and it is impossible to cross it."

Luo Siwei clicked his tongue and sighed: "Fang Xing is still ruthless. Every time he takes action, he has to sing to the extreme without leaving room for others. You have to admire him, but at the same time, you feel deeply helpless in front of him.

on the stage.

After the first chorus is sung.

The song enters the interlude.

Fang Xing and Guo Keda walked out from behind the microphone stand, stood together, and started playing instruments face to face.

The sound of electric guitar and electric bass is like two generals fighting under the roar of war drums.

The melodies of multiple instruments were intertwined and swept through the audience like a shock wave.

The audience, who had been watching all night and were already a little tired, were immediately shocked by this surging musical instrument show.

The drummer of the band was also in high spirits, beating the drums with strong rhythms, roaring like war drums.

The audience at the scene was so excited by the show of this musical instrument that some of them even couldn't help but say a curse word: "That's awesome!"

After the interlude.

Guo Keda threw away his electric bass, pulled out the microphone from the microphone stand, walked to the front of the stage, faced the audience, and started rapping:

"Hatred lasts like fire, and sorrow is like a frown.

"Emotions are wandering, wandering all my life, just like me.

"This life is as prosperous as yesterday, and the war is like breaking up.

"Thousands of troops and thousands of horses.

"Thousands of horses are galloping, and flesh and blood are fighting against each other..."

When rapping, the accompaniment also increases and the rhythm becomes more intense.

The audience at the scene was all ignited by the passionate drumming, nervous rapping, and lyrics that did not lose their connotation.

Especially in the direction Guo Keda was facing, the audience was so excited that they stood up, raised their hands and waved along with the rhythm.

Wave after wave of climaxes hit me, pushing up my emotional points again and again.

However, the song has not reached its peak yet.

Fang Xing also took off his electric guitar, pulled out the microphone, walked to the other side of the stage, and joined in the rap:

"The memory of the beacon fire is like rust, roaring, roaring...

"Then the killing is too heavy, ho ho ho ho ho...

"The memory of the beacon fire is like rust, roaring, roaring...

"The blood of the royal family seems to have been cut off..."

At the last line of the rap, a series of intensive drum beats burst out.

Fang Xing's high-pitched and passionate chorus swept over again like a wave: "The armor is stained with blood, and I kill with tears. The city is full of chrysanthemums, who owns the world..."

When it came to the last part of the chorus, Guo Keda started to harmonize. For this harmony, he practiced for a whole week, just so as not to hold back:

"Blood stains the armor, I kill with tears.

"Hand the sword at once to see who falls.

“Dialogue between love and hate leaves history.

"Who is shooting randomly, looking cool and unrestrained among them!"

When the last note fell, it was like closing the door to history, but it left people feeling unfinished.

After the song ended, the audience did not applaud immediately.

Because just before the last chorus, the music paused for a few beats before resuming. It felt like it was over, but suddenly there was a comeback, which made the audience gasp for breath several times.
