Chapter 569 A Masterpiece in Music History
The popularity of "Attack on Titan" in the animation field is absolutely phenomenal. Thanks to the fact that the second season is not as bloody as the first season, the style and plot have moved towards a mature and profound structure.
Think about it carefully, each character has his own pursuit.
Erwin pursues the truth of the world and the desire for knowledge.
Eren pursues what is outside the sea.
Mikasa pursues Eren's peace and happiness.
Each character has flesh and blood, and has a very adult-oriented thinking depth. They don't talk about big principles and make their own decisions.
It is precisely because of this that this season's reputation has exploded.
Similarly, thousands of anime fans are beginning to look forward to the last season crazily. Although the plot of the last season was somewhat controversial in the previous life, it is indisputable that there are also many famous scenes.
The three giants besieging Eren, the rumbling, the ancestor Ymir's online, etc. are all worth looking forward to. The foreshadowing that has been buried for many years will eventually be solved one by one.
But at present, these viewers have no way of thinking that the impact of the plot of the last season will be so terrifying.
Let's talk about the classic "Eren kills his mother". After the power of the Titan in Eren's body awakened, Eren began to gradually inherit the memory of his ancestors and evolved the ability to peek into the future.
Then he learned the horrifying truth about the world of Titans, that the Eldians were not innocent, and saw the future of Paradis Island, where he had lived since childhood, completely becoming a ruin. In the end, he took the extreme "world-destroying" plan and used the power of Titans to change the past.
These plots will definitely be discussed a lot at that time.
...
The popularity of "Attack on Titan" is still continuing, and it is certain that for a long time, "Attack on Titan" will be like a mountain, lying in front of the animation field.
However, there is no doubt that because of "Attack on Titan", the attention received by the entire animation industry has undoubtedly reached its peak in history.
In the previous life, the popularity of the animation "Attack on Titan" can be said to be among the top few in history.
Most of the super popular anime are long stories, such as "One Piece", "Naruto", "Gintama", "Dragon Ball", etc. There is a reason why "Attack on Titan", "Demon Slayer" and "Slam Dunk", which are not as long as the former, can gain such high popularity.
Changan Animation is currently producing "Slam Dunk".
Compared with "Attack on Titan" and "Demon Slayer", the cost and time of producing "Slam Dunk" are actually much less. After all, there are no special effects that cost a lot of money, but the overall texture of the anime can still be regarded as a remake of the previous life, with a modern style.
The content of the entire anime will still be divided into three seasons, which is different from the previous life. The first season starts from Sakuragi Hanamichi's contact with basketball, until the county preliminaries of the high school league, when the Xiangbei basketball team meets the powerful Hainan Affiliated High School in the joint finals!
Hainan Affiliated High School, a strong team led by Maki Shinichi, has always been a boss in the plot of "Slam Dunk"!
However, in this match, Xiangbei lost the game in the end because of Sakuragi Hanamichi's passing error.
The entire first season had 54 episodes.
The second season continued the plot of the first season. After Sakuragi Hanamichi made a regretful passing error, he shaved his head and evolved directly into the "second stage", truly becoming a warrior on the basketball court.
The plot continued until Xiangbei won the national competition and finally fought against the joint army of Shoyo and Ryonan. With the goal of dominating the country, they now went to the national conference to compete.
The estimated number of episodes for the second season is 36, which is considered a transitional season.
The real climax is the third season.
The third season, that is, the national competition chapter that was not animated in the previous life, only completed the plot of the theater version of Xiangbei vs. Sanno in the cinema. It is still exciting and has won many praises worldwide, fulfilling the dreams of many slam dunk fans.
The content of this article is the national competition. In addition to the duel with Touou, the most important thing is to fight against the king Sanno!
There are so many famous scenes in this game...
Sakuragi had a back injury, but he insisted on playing, especially the sentence:
"Old man, when was your most glorious moment? Was it when you were a national representative?"
"And for me, it's now!"
Finally, he took the court and completed the final buzzer-beater with his tens of thousands of practiced mid-range shots. It was really shocking!
Anyway, Lin Qiu was in the cinema watching it with tears in his eyes!
So even in the form of a TV series, Lin Qiu still has very high requirements for the quality of the animation itself.
…
Just after the end of "Attack on Titan", Lao Zei, who had been silent for nearly 8 months, finally released a new book release trailer! !
As soon as the new book release trailer came out, it can be said that it caused a sensation in the entire world novel circle and reader group!
You know, Lao Zei's recent works are really better than the last one. "The Three-Body Problem" directly made Lao Zei ascend to the throne of the global novel author. After eight months of rest, Lao Zei appeared again and brought a brand new series of works-"The Lord of the Rings"!
According to the communication between Lin Qiu and Qin Chuan, "The Lord of the Rings" plans to release the trilogy in sequence first, and then release the prequel "The Hobbit" and "The Silmarillion" as a summary of the entire "Lord of the Rings" epic.
The first part "The Lord of the Rings 1: The Fellowship of the Ring" will be released on October 2!
The second day of the National Day holiday!
In this way, whether you are a student or an office worker, you can see this epic masterpiece at the first time!
And according to the sales plan, the first three books will be sold out before the end of the year.
"Wow!! Lao Zei's new book is finally here!!"
"Eight months! It's a little longer than before!"
"Is eight months still a long time? It's just that Lao Zei is too productive!"
"It will probably take a longer time to write a series of works, but this "Lord of the Rings" is a Western fantasy epic, this introduction!"
"Lao Zei wrote a Western fantasy?"
"Isn't "Harry Potter" also a Western fantasy?"
"Completely different, one is an epic fantasy novel, and the other belongs to fantasy science fiction literature."
Readers discussed it crazily.
The introduction of "Lord of the Rings" is very ordinary, but its type can be judged just from the names of the characters.
[This is a story about prehistoric humans, the Hobbits. In order to save his people, Frodo went to the Doom Pass of the Flaming Mountain to destroy the magic of the ring and save mankind from the slavery of the dark forces...】
The medieval magical society created by Professor Tolkien is sophisticated and inhabited by different races.
The story is about a young Hobbit boy who was involved in a battle between good and evil for the ring. With courage and the help of his friends, he finally defeated the dark forces.
Once it was released, it caused a sensation around the world and immediately became a classic in the Western fantasy literature hall, influencing several generations of readers. The global series sales volume ranked first in the world, and even became the book with the second highest sales in Western history after the Bible.
Lin Qiu had naturally read the original work of "The Lord of the Rings", and there was actually not much comparability with "Harry Potter", even though they were roughly the same type.
Its worldview is more grand than "Harry Potter", but the problem it brings is that it has more information, so it is naturally not as "catchy" and attractive as the latter.
If Harry Potter is a light-hearted school fantasy literature, The Lord of the Rings is like a history book, telling the past and present of the Middle-earth world in a magnificent manner.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the Middle-earth world constructed by The Lord of the Rings is too huge.
Think carefully about Harry Potter. In fact, most of the plots take place in Hogwarts, and the background is modern society. The fights are all magic, while The Lord of the Rings is about swords, guns and sticks in the Middle Ages.
The reason why The Lord of the Rings can become an epic is naturally unique. For example, the writing and language system of the Middle-earth world, such as the Elvish language, Tolkien has systematically constructed it, and he just lacks to create a language himself.
Regarding the final sales of The Lord of the Rings, Lin Qiu dare not guarantee it because the overall style is more serious.
Just like the sales of To Live, Xu Sanguan and even Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they may not be comparable to some best-selling books. There is actually no comparability between the two, but this does not prevent serious literary works such as To Live, Xu Sanguan and Romance of the Three Kingdoms from becoming classics.
In short, the variety of Lao Zei's styles is enough to satisfy readers who like all types. Even if you don't like the Middle-earth history of "The Lord of the Rings", you can also read the bizarre "Ghost Blowing Light", which is relaxing, exciting and exciting.
...
As soon as the news of the release of "The Lord of the Rings" came out, the expectations of authors and readers around the world were directly raised.
Before the release, another genius from Xiazhou, Lin Qiu's new Chinese album, finally entered the countdown to its official release!
At the beginning of this year, Lin Qiu promised that he would release two music albums this year, one for Jiuzhou music and one for Xiazhou local music, to meet the needs of different music listeners at the same time, just like what Lin Qiu has been doing.
Especially after the release of Jiuzhou music album "Lose Yourself", Lin Qiu's achievements in the music industry were directly raised to a new peak!
If Lin Qiu were to hold a few more world tours now, he would definitely become the most popular musician in the world, just like Michael Jackson in his previous life.
But even though Lin Qiu rarely appears in major music occasions and has no concert tours, the number of listeners to Lin Qiu's music has reached a terrifying level, and even made countless listeners "hate" Lin Qiu.
The reason is that in the past few months, after the release of "Lose Yourself", all major social media and short video platforms are full of popular songs from Lin Qiu's new album!
Whether it is "Apologize" or "Shape of you", or songs like "Despacito", no matter how good they are, they can't stand listening to them every day and every night!
This phenomenon is easy to understand, because even in the previous life, the songs that were "disliked" the most on short video platforms were those "world pop songs".
It is because of popularity that they will be spread again and again.
The spread of pop songs is terrifying, and their vitality is indeed limited.
It is precisely because of the terrifying quality of this Jiuzhou music album that more music listeners have different expectations for Lin Qiu's second Chinese music album!
Xiazhou listeners are definitely the most anticipated.
From the only Xiazhou local song "Boundless Oceans and Vast Skies" sung by Lin Qiu in the "Jiuzhou Singing Festival", they were convinced that Xiazhou local songs were the songs that could resonate with them the most.
Fans from other states also won’t resist Xiazhou songs, but they didn’t know much about Xiazhou songs before. Music is truly boundless.
This Xiazhou music album has 13 songs, one more than the Jiuzhou music album, covering a variety of music styles, including rock, rap, folk, pop, and completely different from the first and second local music albums.
Those two should be considered pure pop music albums.
1: "Ordinary Road"
2: "Seven Miles of Fragrance"
3: "Stubborn"
4: "Sunny Day"
5: "Miss Dong"
6: "Those Flowers"
7: "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty"
8: "Blue Lotus"
9: "Shameless"
10: "Spring"
11: "Rainbow"
12: "Life is a struggle"
13: "Glorious Years"
……
For the final title song of this album, Lin Qiu chose Pu Shu's masterpiece song - "Ordinary Road".
This song needs no further explanation. In an era of diversified music, this "ordinary" work has resonated with the audience as soon as it was released in such an impetuous era. Pu Shu's third album "Orion Constellation" after "I Go to 2000" and "Born Like Summer Flowers" is also a masterpiece.
In the past life in China, because of the audience's preferences, many times, both folk songs and rock have strong popular elements.
For example, the Black Panther band was the rock band with the most album sales in the world among Chinese bands in the past life.
"Shameless" is their most peak work and the most popular work.
And more importantly, Dou Wei Dou Daxian was the lead singer of the band at that time, and Black Panther was complete.
After Dou Daxian left, Black Panther's "Shameless" can be said to have lost its soul.
In addition to "Shameless", Beyond's another classic pop rock song "Glorious Years" is on the list.
And the heavy metal rock music "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", although it is definitely not a song that meets the "popular taste", such a type of song can greatly enrich the entire album.
…
For folk songs, Lin Qiu chose two songs, one called "Miss Dong" and the other called "Those Flowers".
These two folk songs can be said to have been popular in the streets and alleys of China and are the most widely sung.
Folk songs are not very wide in range, but have beautiful melodies. The use of sound does not require too much attention to skills, but mainly expresses emotions.
It is simple, straightforward, casual, pleasant to the ear, and easy to spread. It does not require too complicated arrangements. "Miss Dong" is a relatively pure folk song, and "Those Flowers" can be said to be folk rock or new folk song. This is the unique folk style of Mr. Pu Shu.
Combining folk and rock, Xu Wei's "Blue Lotus" is a true folk rock, and it is also Xu Wei's representative work.
…
For rap, Lin Qiu chose "Life is a struggle" and Xie Di's "Rainbow". The former is naturally a masterpiece of rap music, and it defeated "Dongfeng Po" in the past.
The latter is because the overall style is relatively chill, and the lyrics in it cue many works of Lin Qiu and Lao Zei, which is a more interesting linkage.
For example, this paragraph "In my heart, there is "Life is Beautiful" as a beacon, "Rebel" is my name, and when the ringtone of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" rings, it is like being stamped with a stamp of thought, even if it is impossible, I will still meet..."
There are elements of "Life is Beautiful", "Rebel", "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" and "Three Body".
…
As for the most important pop music for Chinese music, it is naturally the king bomb!
"Stubborn".
"Sunny Day".
"Seven Miles of Fragrance".
No need to say more.
The masterpieces of Jay Chou and Mayday!
Looking at the entire album, the quality of the first two albums has never been so high, including the representative songs of Jay Chou, Mayday, Xu Wei, Pu Shu, Black Panther, Beyond, Wang Feng and other singers. How can the quality not be high? !
Even if Lin Qiu is asked to pick another album, it is difficult to beat these songs in their respective types.
This will be a masterpiece in the history of music!
