Superstars start from Hong Kong Entertainment

Chapter 544 He Jin is the Father of Electronic Music (3.8k)

Not to mention, singing "Chinese" in a foreign country, with countless audiences off the stage, that feeling is really exciting.

Especially seeing those foreigners who are interested in this song and listening carefully, He Jin will become more happy in his heart.

Sometimes when what you do starts to create cultural output.

Especially when foreigners start to understand the profound Chinese culture and Chinese language because of you.

That sense of pride is unmatched by any award.

When He Jin sang "Chinese" and shook hands with people in front of the stage, he heard a white man asking the Chinese next to him.

"Hey bro! I didn't catch the name of the song just now, can you tell me again?"

""Chinese", the meaning of Chinese."

The Chinese who was asked by him said proudly.

"OMG, the melody of this song is really nice, and the Chinese language is so charming, I must learn Chinese..."

When he knew that a foreigner wanted to learn Chinese because of the song he sang, He Jin was very touched.

At this moment, he made a decision in his heart.

In the future, his English albums will no longer focus on making money, he will promote Chinese culture.

He wants to let more foreigners understand Chinese culture and guide them to become interested in Chinese culture.

……

In the next few days, He Jin began to run promotions in major prosperous cities in the United States, appearing on radio and television.

And every time he promotes and sings songs, he will try his best to sing Chinese songs after singing English songs, so as to export China to the United States.

And in the past few days, various evaluations and sales data about the song "Titanium" have also begun to be released.

evaluation aspect.

In the evaluations of major music magazines and music critics, this song was hailed as the most positive song of the year.

Even the New York Drug Rehabilitation Center contacted He Jin on the [-]th, and they wanted He Jin's song as a promotional song for drug rehabilitation.

According to them, this song has a great impact on those who are recovering from drugs. After hearing this song, quite a few drug addicts said that this song was written about them.

In addition, it is said that some of the people who are not determined, after hearing this song, unexpectedly become more determined to quit drugs.

According to them, they are like the people in the lyrics, invincible.

Of course, thousands of people face thousands of faces.

Some people think that this song is a song that encourages people who recover from drug addiction to strengthen their beliefs.

Naturally, some people will take their seats and associate this song with the Boyz II Men group.

The New York Times put it this way:
"He Jin is obviously a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes. Everyone knows his grievances with Boyz II Men, and this news has gradually become a thing of the past.

No one expected that He Jin's counterattack would come so quickly. Just as He Jin himself said, although singers rely on their mouths for food, they are not lip servicers.

And his song "Titanium" really told us that he is such a person.

Regarding the song "Titanium", after I listened to it, I only had one thought, and that was that the Boyz II Men group was totally a clown.

He Jin's music, which is jumping up and down with Boyz II Men in the major media, is rubbish and different from sissy.

He Jin seldom hates the Boyz II Men combination in public, which gives us the illusion that He Jin is a soft persimmon.

But from this song, we can see that our previous thinking was wrong.

He Jin is not only not a soft persimmon, on the contrary, he is very hard, so hard that no one can refute.

Just like what he wrote in the lyrics, "You roar, I am not disturbed at all.".

No matter how sharp your teeth are, I just pretend that you don't exist.

Just one line of lyrics separates him from Boyz II Men.

It makes the Boyz II Men duo look downright ridiculous..."

Except that some music magazines spoke highly of He Jin's "Titanium".

When Michael Jackson was interviewed by the media, it was also the first time that he responded to the conflict between He Jin and Boyz II Men, and made a high evaluation of this song and He Jin himself.

"I met He Jin in the autumn of 1993, at my concert.

Although we have different skins, different races, and different national boundaries, we hit it off because of music.

We both agree very much with each other's music theory.

We even co-wrote a song "Earth Song" (Earth Song) as sympathetic to each other.

About how to evaluate He Jin's music.

In this regard, I think no one has more right to speak than me, because only by working together and talking together can we truly understand his philosophy.

And how do I rate…”

Facing the reporter, Michael Jackson fell into memory and slowly talked about the story between him and He Jin.

When he said the word evaluation, he stopped talking.

After a pause of more than ten seconds, he said:
"His talent is unrivaled, stretching as far as the Great Wall of China.

I respect him very much. If, I said, if, if he made his debut a few years before me, then I think he will definitely be the enlightener of my music.

And I think that in the future, many young singers will be influenced by He Jin.

Even though he is Chinese, I believe that He Jin will definitely become a godfather figure in the American music industry in the future.

Some people may think that I am exaggerating, and that I say this because I am friends with He Jin.

But in fact it is not, what I said, even if I am not his friend, even if we are strangers, I will say the same.

Because He Jin's music really inspired me a lot, he can be called a pioneer on the road of music.

If someone has listened carefully to He Jin's works, including all his Chinese works, you will find out how amazing his musical talent is and what role he has played in promoting the music scene.

Don't talk about other works, just talk about this song "Titanium", didn't anyone post it?The melody of this song, the instrumentation used in this song is something we have never seen before.

Electronic musical instruments, yes, He Jin told me that they are called electronic musical instruments, which are the equipment used by DJs that have emerged in nightclubs in the past two years.

Speaking of DJ, some people may not know that when mainstream musicians did not agree with He Jin, He Jin was already known as the father of electronic music in the American underground music scene, especially the emerging DJ music scene.

The electronic dance music he released in Korea is widely used by these DJs.

Maybe, maybe those of us who love to go to nightclubs have heard a DJ play He Jin's songs on stage, but you don't know. "

Michael Jackson's words shocked the reporters.

The father of electronic music?

What this title represents, everyone can't be more clear.

Although electronic music is a niche music, it has already been widely popular in major nightclubs in the United States.

Even, in the United States, electronic musical instruments have gradually begun to become an important creative instrument for some singers.

And He Jin can be called the father of electronic music by these DJs, also known as DJs, which is simply too appalling.

"Scratching is more like a transformation sequence, more like an audio version of The Thing or American Werewolf.

You can watch a human transform into a werewolf in Werewolf, and just before he finally becomes a werewolf, you get a glimpse of a human form and it disappears... it's the voice and the vinyl That unstable mix.

This is a brand new texture effect. ""—Kodwo Eshun.

Kordwo once commented on DJing in this way.

As a by-product of the stylus walking over the grooves of a record, DJing has been around since the invention of the phonograph.

It took almost a century before it was really practiced by a teenage DJ from the Bronx named Theodore Livingston.

Legend has it that at some point in 1975, Theodore overheard scratching sounds from his own equipment when his mother asked him to turn off the music.

This voice is nothing new, it wants to be found, and Theodore just heard its call.

After some practice, Theodore named this action of moving the record back and forth with his hands "disc-spinning."

Soon, at a local club, this element was on display for the first time in public.

Since then, DJing has officially begun to appear on the world music stage. However, this kind of music is too small and can only become a kind of underground music.

Until 1981 came.

Singer Grandmaster Flash recorded the first ever DJ track "The Adventures Of Grandmaster Flash On The Wheels Of Steel".

“Adventure…” is a seven-minute song that includes basic-level chopping and sequencing.

It changed the constitution of hip-hop and reminded everyone that the DJ was the first artist of this music.

The itch, which began in the Bronx, the birthplace of hip-hop, confuses some and inspires others.

DJing went viral when Herbie Hancock performed "Rockit" live at the 1984th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles in February 2 opened.

"Rockit" is a hip-hop-inspired assembly of styles in a last-ditch effort to save the jazz musician's fading career.

Bill Laswell and Michael Beinhorn of experimental band Material helped produce and write the track, which features drum machines, synthesizers and, for the first time, a disc solo .

DJ from the Bronx, Grandmixer D.ST. is in charge of playing solo.

The turntable also began to be used as part of the band by some bands when it was not yet considered a musical instrument.

On stage at the Grammys, D.ST. played discs while Hancock played clavitar.

Three pairs of disembodied legs danced above his head.

This vision of the future is reflected in the eyes of thousands of children who are obsessively staring at the TV and listening to the sound of playing discs.

In his book Groove Music, Mark Katz identifies "Rockit" as "the song that made the world hear DJing."

This song and its stage performance inspired a whole generation to buy a turntable, retreat to the bedroom, and start making those noises.

Since then, DJing music has gradually penetrated into many corners of the music world and has become an integral part of mainstream music, that is, pop music.

Now, a Chinese is quietly called the father of electronic music by those underground players.

This made the reporters present go crazy immediately.

After the interview, many reporters did not continue to block Michael Jackson.

Now their interest in Michael Jackson has been greatly reduced because of what he said, and it has completely shifted to He Jin.

So, after the interview, many reporters began to run in their own directions according to their own ideas.

Some of them went straight to He Jin, wanting to ask He Jin, He De and He Neng in person.

Some people also went to major nightclubs, where they could find DJs working in nightclubs, and they could get their opinions on He Jin from their mouths.

Others went directly to the video store and began to search for records. They searched for all the records that He Jin could find in the United States. If they couldn't find them, they might have to ship them from Asia.

In short, after Michael Jackson said that He Jin was called the father of electronic music by underground musicians, the entire American press went completely crazy.

If, if He Jin really has such great ability, then he may start a new era and lead a new type of music.

This kind of character is too rare in the United States.

If this is the case, then He Jin may really become the idol of young singers and the enlightener of young singers in the future, as Michael Jackson said.
