"The Sino-Japanese War Trilogy"
It is divided into: "Prelude", "The Sino-Japanese War Part 1 - Dragon Clan", "The Sino-Japanese War Part 2 - Brave New World", "The Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1894" The trilogy - "The Bloody Battle in the Yellow Sea" and "Finale" are the painstaking work of Huang Dawei, his musical partner Guo Wei and lyricist Lin Linan. The prelude is more than three minutes of pure music. In the total of more than 20 minutes, it is not only shocking in terms of music format, but also painstaking in the arrangement, including Western 100-piece symphony orchestra, Chinese folk music and modern industrial noise groups. Such a huge formation really seemed like a war.
Lyricist Lin Linan and Huang Dawei collaborated. They had a very good understanding and both very much wanted to create themes related to "China". Lin Linan admires songs with Chinese elements and emotions such as "Lukang Town", "Descendants of the Dragon" and "Nothing" very much. He feels that he has not heard such songs for a long time. "Autumn 1944", which he collaborated with Huang Dawei and Guo Wei, was his first attempt at a theme about China.
This trilogy was written successively by Huang Dawei, Guo Wei, and Lin Linan for more than two years before it was completed. Lin Linan read a lot of books about the Sino-Japanese War. Finally, he chose the first batch of Chinese overseas students, Liu Buchan, to study in the West as the main plot of the story. He saw the world, the motherland, and the changes of the great era from the perspective of a little person. Introspection and emotion. "Dragon" shows the awakening of a sleeping dragon when it is invaded; "Brave New World" describes the uneasiness and expectations of young international students; "The Bloody Battle of the Yellow Sea" uses concise words to describe the tragic scenes of heroic warriors fighting bloody battles. Lin Linan said: "The Sino-Japanese War Trilogy is a set of somewhat experimental rock musicals."
The Sino-Japanese War Trilogy presents the beginning, continuation, transition and integration, and the weight created by the Sino-Japanese War trilogy is Mandarin It's something that has never been seen in the pop music world, and it's truly thrilling. In today's music world, which is filled with many commercial love songs, this experimental rock musical is simply a blockbuster dropped, and at the same time it is a huge mirror that dwarfs other music.
