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 Wing continue the quality of the first movement
Lushan Shihua's boss, Song Shihua, had been waiting in the office with a full set of top audio and video equipment installed early in the morning. As long as you read the second movement, you can determine whether the guess in his heart is true.
Silver Wing, did you spend a bigger investment in this second movement? If it is, then, obviously, Silver Wing is to use "epic" to push the virtual idol of Aurora to compete for the endorsement of the game!
eight o'clock.
This is the time when many companies go to work, and it is also breakfast time before morning classes in many schools.
The new century is divided into three stages: early, middle, and high education levels. Each stage lasts for six years. Primary education is equivalent to the pre-apocalyptic primary school, secondary education is equivalent to the aggregate of pre-apocalyptic junior high school and high school, and higher education is after high school. Education, similar to university, but also involves deeper teaching content.
At this time, many students of secondary education schools in Qi'an were riding bicycles or public trains to the school and went straight to the school cafeteria.
The welfare of New Century School is still good, the food is good, and it is also cheap. In the morning, I rush to the school to have breakfast, and then rush to the classroom. This is a daily routine for many students who do not live in school.
At this point in time, both students who live on campus and those who do not live on campus are all running to the cafeteria one after another.
Qi'an City No. 1 Middle School, in the North Point canteen.
The big screen on the wall will play some fast-paced and powerful songs at this time of the day to refresh the students. A place like the middle school canteen is already noisy, and the songs with a slow rhythm can’t hear anything at all, and they may have been mixed up long ago. The sound was drowned out to only a few unclear tones.
November is the time when most secondary education schools in Yanzhou usher in their mid-term exams. The schools still attach great importance to such large-scale exams.
Students sitting in the cafeteria for breakfast in twos and threes complained to each other about their studies, homework, life, and emotional budding.
While drinking soup, some people responded to the words of their classmates and glanced at the big screen in the cafeteria from time to time to see if there were any images they liked.
"It's those every day, and with your eyes closed you can guess what's next."
In the era of high-tech network communication, people already know too much when they are young. The more they grow up, the less they feel that there are fewer things that make them feel new. Those images and songs on the big screen may feel a little bit at the beginning, but the boredom will come quickly, and it has only been so long, and they are already impatient.
The person who was planning to stop looking at the screen suddenly heard an exclamation from the classmates beside him.
"Look, Aurora!"
"Where!?" Someone looked around.
"big screen!"
"By the way, I almost forgot, today, November 1st, the second leader of Aurora came out!"
According to a survey conducted by the media, "God Punishment" has the highest acceptance among students, and it is not high-level education schools, but middle school students.
Students in the middle-level education period, although they are at a restless age, do not have the impetuousness of higher-level school students touching the edge of society. They are also a psychologically sensitive period. Perhaps because of this, they are more easily mobilized.
On November 1st, at 8:00 in the morning, the second movement of "One Hundred Years of Destruction" was released on the online platform.
The overall tone of the image is dark at first, but the picture is very clear. The screen in the cafeteria is large enough, and the hardware facilities such as projection equipment are all advertisements for admissions of each school, so the quality is naturally not bad.
Appearing at the same time as the picture is the music with the tone of tension and anxiety.
A sustained bass and repetitive rhythm, paired with the less harmonious timbre of electronic music, strikes a crescendo of oppression.
From the perspective of traditional music aesthetics, electronic music weakens the musicality of the song and blurs the boundaries between music and sound, but it enhances the sensory stimulation of music, giving the audience a feeling of curiosity and anxiety. The human soul seems to communicate with the end-time earth in music.
A century of extinction, the time and space in the image originating from reality but not reality.
In the second movement, Fang Zhao used more electronic elements.
If we say that the first movement is the success of electronic music and orchestral music, then, in the second movement, the electronic sound has been completely integrated into the music.
Human society has developed into today's information age, and both living standards and mental states have undergone tremendous changes compared with those before the end of the world. In the information age, science and technology are highly developed, and mechanical automation and artificial intelligence have become common things in life. Accompanying these are all kinds of mechanical and electronic sounds, which are full of life in the new century, and people have long been concerned about them. Habit.
The New Century Music, on the other hand, makes use of this and incorporates the material of the music. People's aesthetics are changing, their preferred styles are changing, and so-called fashion is also changing.
Electronic music has produced more timbres and sounds. Compared with traditional musical instruments, electronic elements can better reflect this era and are more easily accepted by people.
Therefore, the composers of music in the new century either use all electronic materials, or use traditional musical instruments with electronic music. Following the local customs, Fang Zhao absorbed these new things into his works, and integrated the sound of metal and electronic into the music. After all, the music style that spanned the ages may not be easily accepted by the public.
The first movement "God Punishment" is heard by many people, and it has an alternative classical music style, and the appropriate novelty will attract people. But if it is too much, it will be rejected.
In the canteen of the North Corner of the No. 1 Middle School of Qi'an City, the original noise was a little quieter, and more people noticed the image on the big screen.
Because the cafeteria is always noisy, the sound of the audio equipment is also louder, the noise is small, and the sound of the music is more obvious.
The gloomy sky in the image is dripping with rain, and behind the devastated image, the melody of the double bass has a lyrical quality, and the trumpet sounded is sad and long, revealing a deep sense of helplessness, which seems to be mixed with Sad and desolate feeling.
The tree people who choose to leave their homeland and look for a new survival point look forward to being shattered by reality again and again. The world is full of crises, and they don't know where they are safe, and whether there is still a peaceful place in the world for them to live.
The companions who left the old place together, either died of illness, or were bitten to death by those diseased beasts, the trees were scarred, and the inside and outside were filled with disappointment, boredom and decadence.
For them, life is already at a low point. The original belief in finding a new place has given up resistance under the cruel reality. The long-term sense of fear and helplessness has almost swallowed their consciousness.
The lost, numb tones of classical style convey the emotions of despair and terror. The deep harmonies are pressed step by step against the somewhat gloomy orchestral music.
There seemed to be a voice whispering in my ear, "Did you see that?"
Harmony sings in a low voice, with the tension of the crisis, telling the cold and ruthless end of the world and the powerless wailing of all beings.
The figure at the front of the group of trees also has many scars on his body. The branches have obvious scratches and breaks, and the green leaves rolled up on the branches have become sparse and very embarrassing.
In front of it is a hillside, and on the hillside are the figures of some wild beasts full of blood and evil.
In the rear, is the ethnic group that has been hit hard by the cruel reality.
Behind the heavy-colored image is the sigh of the bass string, as if everything will end in this sound.
You see, the world is like this, there is no help, give it up, don't go any further, find a place to hide, and pray that your luck can last long enough to live a day, a day.
The surreal-style picture, combined with orchestral and electronic music, creates a grand sense of absurdity, with the powerlessness of repeated struggles, as if standing at the bottom of the abyss and looking up, looking up at this indifferent and cruel arrangement of God.
Just being strong is not enough to support them to continue to resist such a fate.
There is no neutrality in this era!
The strange sound effects brought by a large number of electronic sounds, the percussive music with changing rhythms constantly played, the flashing vibrating piano sounds, and the desolate and rich tone of the solo bass, the figure at the front of the tree group walked forward.
After two steps, he turned to look at the group, but no one followed. He looked forward, and there was already a figure running towards him.
…
In the canteen in the north corner of Qi'an City No. 1 Middle School, there was almost no voice. The person who had already put the spoon to his mouth even forgot to drink it, and his eyes were fixed on the picture on the big screen.
The chefs in the cafeteria lightened their movements.
The atmosphere in the entire cafeteria was tense, and it seemed that a string was being pulled back and forth in my mind.
…
In the image, the lonely figure walking towards the hillside, the branches that were already gathered on both sides, tightened and twisted again to form strong arms, and the roots of the trees also twisted into stronger legs.
The tones of the strings pulling back and forth seem to be resisting and escaping emotions in the heart, like the surrounding air, which cannot be detected, but is always shrouded in the surrounding.
The two voices in the music seem to have different forces and emotions chasing and intertwining. As if a heavy cocoon bound the figure, every step was so difficult.
"Everything's gone down
Where is the light
…”
Obey fate
What is fate
Where are the people in the past, the sad homeland.
Life in the last days will be sad and melancholy, but it will also struggle and resist!
In the heavy clouds in the sky, there are lightning flashes, the wind is getting stronger, and the rain is getting stronger.
The wind music played like a frantic whistling that gradually became stronger. The intensified drum beat, like the rumbling of thunder, heralded a stronger storm.
Drums, wind music, double bass, and some electronic elements play a very layered melody, and the changeable male voice hums, with Shen Xiong's tragic connotations, it seems that a deeper force is about to erupt.
The figure walking alone, with its brown pupils shrunk, looked at the approaching reddish-brown wild beast that looked like dried blood, leaned over and picked up a stone from the ground and held it in his hand.
The sound of the strings is like the sound of taut branches.
With a big stride, the body leaned forward, the arms formed by twisting the branches were raised high, and the hand holding the stone formed a suffocating arc in the air, like a hammer that was violently swung, smashing towards the rushing figure!
boom!
A heavy drum sounded, like the figure that was knocked down in the image with fangs and claws, and it seemed to smash something invisible.
The figure in the image, panting, looked at the threat of being knocked down.
The repeated tapping of the keys seems to be confirming something, and the soaring melody behind it makes the atmosphere less heavy.
He finally discovered that after he bravely faced many things, it was not as terrible as he imagined, and the world would not be disturbed.
But... so! !
The sun goes down today and rises up tomorrow. Although the sky is covered by thick smoke, he knows that the sun is still there!
He raised his feet and stepped heavily on the fallen mad beast, completely ruining its chance to open its sharp teeth again, and stepping on all the sharp claws and fangs that once frightened them!
Looking back at the group, he stepped forward again, threw the stone in his hand, picked up a larger stone stick, and walked towards the second wild beast, changing from striding to running. The clumsy body also appeared to be flexible, as if it had gotten rid of the heavy cocoon that had been covering the whole body.
"The world in a storm
and you
…”
The low male voice becomes heroic with the rhythm of the battle. In the majestic and magnificent orchestral music, this most natural, primitive and direct musical expression means directly to the heart!
war!
No choice!
In this day and age, there is always someone to stand up.
Don't be stubborn! Don't flinch!
Fight to the end with this absurd and cruel fate!
Life in the last days, standing in the abyss, following the darkness, chasing the light, and climbing upwards.
Faith is like a deep still water, and it is also thrilling. It was very beautiful, but it was dripping with blood.
The epic orchestral arrangement and the fusion of electronic sounds, in addition to the urgency and overwhelming momentum, there is also a sudden rise of arrogance!
Audio and video are temptations that people cannot refuse no matter what era.
The electronic music elements are perfectly integrated into the grand orchestral system, and the images combine with these sounds. Everyone who sees and hears is like someone suddenly put a piece of ice from the back of the neck, which stimulates a trembling heart. But it was as hot as being burned on a fire, and the mood seemed to be broken and stitched together again.
The human-like figure in the image, the body formed by the gathering and twisting of the branches, seems to be covered with pieces of explosive muscles. Drums of war.
The figure that got rid of the heavy bondage, like a vigorous and fast leopard, stepped on the ground with a powerful step, swept across the ground, vacated the body, and faced the oncoming figure, waving his arms horizontally, the force was even stronger than before. Violently!
The flow of time seemed to slow down, the stone chips shattered from the stone rod with blood stains shuttled in the rain, and the splashing muddy water exploded around, submerging the broken tooth.
The music is like the fierceness that erupts in the cold light, and there is no longer a sensational melody. The blend of electronic music and expanded metal wind music has a gripping power, like a drawn knife, cold and heavy!
It was the coldness of the gentle peeling off piece by piece.
The seemingly dissonant harmony follows the soaring male voice, like a shout, like a roar, but the unconventional music combination brings more intense sensory stimulation and auditory shock. Climax, every note is surging with unyielding passion for life.
The upward sound of the piano was like a gust of wind. After spiraling upwards, it rushed into the sky with a whistling whistle, causing the body to tremble. It seemed that an icy electric current was rushing up along the tail vertebra, and the pores of the whole body were about to explode.
The figure holding the stone stick didn't look back this time, because he didn't need it anymore, and he had already heard the footsteps following him. Stepping on the body of the mad beast on the ground, he continued to move forward.
After him, the second pair of feet, the third pair of feet, stepped on the two wild beasts one after another and walked past.
…
The end of the world, a century of extinction, is an era rich in heroes.
Many people think that Fang Zhao just chose a species that appeared in the era of extinction, and created a virtual idol with epic music in a clever way.
But Fang Zhao chose the dragon elephant, Tianluoshuren Aurora, in fact, it is a metaphor for the generation of them who were born in a peaceful era, but put most of their lives in the apocalypse to survive.
The cruelty of the last days for human beings is not only the slaughter of life, but also the trampling and destruction of human spirit, the double tear of body and spirit, and the frivolity and mockery of life. !
Those heroes who were widely praised and even deified by people in the new century during the era of extinction have faded away from the color and pride of heroism. In fact, they were only ordinary people with reasonable survival demands.
For fame and glory
joke! At that time, they were just fighting against death.
It was the harsh survival battle life that turned them into iron-blooded heroes.
Roots are born in the soil and have sounds.
This is why Fang Zhao chose Aurora.
On the video, the screen gradually pulls up. The falling rain continued to fall, and behind the figure at the front, in the parked trees, some figures gradually emerged. The branches were twisted into a sturdy form suitable for battle, stepping on the mud, stepping on the corpse of the wild beast on the ground, and followed. go up.
The wind music carries a tense rhythm, the strings are continuously and rapidly pulled on the same pitch, and the soaring momentum unfolds with the wider vision on the image. Under the thunderstorm, there is a terrifying breath that is about to erupt!
The film and music stopped abruptly, and the closing subtitles appeared on the screen.

…
It was not until the big screen in the cafeteria began to play other songs that the quiet cafeteria became noisy again.
"I think I can blow up the cafeteria right now."
"I don't know why, but suddenly there is an inexplicable sense of mission."
"Master! Give me two more bowls of rice! I'm going to go to the battlefield when I'm full!" There are still three exams today.
"Come on!" The chef in charge of cooking the food in the cafeteria waved the rice scoop vigorously, and always felt that the scoop was particularly powerful. Outside the cafeteria, some students who were brought in one after another looked at those who rushed out of the cafeteria.
"What's the matter with them?" the person who just arrived at the cafeteria asked his partner. There is a murderous feeling...
"Did you just swear mid-term?"
"Swearing in the canteen?"
"It's all in the second grade, don't worry about them, it's always like this, neurotic."
"No, I just saw someone in the fifth grade."
The unusual atmosphere made some of the later students full of question marks. Before they came, what happened in the cafeteria
