ilem is an upmaster in bilibili, who has been active in the secondary music circle for a long time, especially in the Chinese V family circle.
the so-called v-home refers to Vocaloid, that is, electronic song synthesis technology, and the software that applies this technology. The representative of the Japanese V family is Hatsune Miku, and the representative of the Chinese V family is Tianyi Luo. The most familiar works are Song of Shredding Onions and Ordinary DISCO.
Now, this short list can be added with this song "Dala Beng Bar".
On March 27th, on the stage of the eighth issue of "Singer: The Year of Playing", Charlie sang the rearranged "Dara Beng Bar", and decorated the five corners with different timbres, which shocked four people and won the current championship. After the broadcast of the program, his performances spread all over Weibo and the circle of friends. People were not only amazed by Charlie's singing skills, but also showed great interest in "Dara Beng Bar".
what is the origin of such a magical song?
Bedibb Dobiruon of Dala Bengban
You may never have seen such a crazy lyric:
Bedibb Dobiruon of Dala Bengban
He defeated Kuntu Tacatekot Suva Silazon
Rescued Princess Mia Morasuna Danni Xie Lihong
Back to Bale City, Gubic
With ilem.
In an exclusive interview with Hedgehog Commune last year, ilem mentioned his creative ideas. He is not interested in jobs that can be easily copied, but has been thinking about how to make people shine.
some people may not be able to stand being different from others, but I don't care much about this in my mind. Whether it's good or not is two different things. I can be different from others and it's not bad at the same time. Ilem uses coffee as an analogy. The average person will study how much milk and sugar to add, and he will try to add beer to it, although this is wrong in the popular concept.
ilem's songs really have their own characteristics: Ordinary Disco, Dara Beng Bar, Song of Neuropathy, No Medicine Today, Mr. Yin and Yang, coronach, which are possessed of demonic brainwashing style, and Hook Your Fingers and Swear, Big Song and so on. This practice of adding coffee and beer made him sit firmly at the top of the Chinese V family and was honored as the leader by fans.
The variety of styles is also a major feature of V-family music. Because the songs are finally synthesized by electronic sounds, V-home creation has a lot less restrictions than ordinary song creation, and has more room to play.
For example, a virtual singer doesn't need to breathe, and ilem never needs to think about it when composing music. A lot of my works have a * * * problem, that is, there is no air outlet, and there are often long sentences that kill people for twenty or thirty seconds, which are very deadly to sing.
Charlie's cover "Dala Beng Bar" is one of them.
The lyrics of "Dara Beng Bar" tell the story of a brave man fighting with a dragon to save the princess. It was submitted in bilibili in March 217. The special feature of the song lies in the awkward lyrics, especially the names and places in the song, which are not only more than ten words long, but also have no substantive meaning. Just the names of the three protagonists-Dara Bengbabande Bedibdobiruon, Kuntu Kakati Courtsuwa Silasson, Mia Morasuna Danni Xie Lihong-have been repeated for nearly twenty times.
This is a difficult cover of "Dala Bengba", but ilem requires the cover singer not to sing the names and places according to the original lyrics. This is his non-rigid request as a UP owner: I said it for fun, but I still hope to abide by it. After all, this kind of rule is supposed to be followed by everyone before it becomes interesting.
things are really getting interesting.
The magical style of "Dara Bengba" and the requirement of changing words aroused the creative passion of the core secondary audience, and brought a wave of magic change cover for the Chinese V family: epic version, Jedi survival version, wandering earth version, biology, chemistry, physics and other disciplines versions, as well as dragon, princess, prince and other different perspectives. "Dara Beng Bar" has also become a tacit cultural symbol of V fans.
after 4 days of submission, "Dala Bengba" has exceeded one million, and became the first song of Chinese V family with more than 1, shares. In the 217 bilibili Music Awards, "Dara Beng Bar" won the first place in the annual V original list.
For fans who are familiar with the Chinese V family, Dara Beng Bar is a divine comedy that everyone knows. But outside the circle, the popularity of this song was far from open until Charlie's cover in The Singer.
Previously, at the New Year's Eve concert of Jiangsu Satellite TV in 219, Joker Xue and Tianyi Luo sang "Dara Beng Bar". Compared with Joker Xue's performance version which pays attention to entertainment effect, Charlie's cover version pays more attention to singing skills, adding special singing methods such as timbre change, coloratura and variable speed in the arrangement. This is not only his own breakthrough on the stage of "Singer", but also let more outsiders see the magic of "Dara Beng Bar".
"Dala Bengba" is completely circled. What about the original singer Tianyi Luo, Yan He, all the virtual singers and the whole Chinese V family?
I just like the voice of electronic singer without superfluous feelings
Most people may not have heard of the concept of V family, but they have heard of V family's works without knowing it.
on December 31st, 215, Chris Lee adapted and covered ilem's work "Ordinary DISCO" at the New Year's Concert of Hunan Satellite TV, which made an ordinary Disco popular all over the streets. In the second issue of "Singer" in 218, Wang Feng also covered this song and won the third place. Later, he sang this song again at the concert.
under the impetus of Chris Lee and Wang Feng, Ordinary DISCO became the first out-of-circle divine comedy of Chinese V family.
On February 19th, 22, Ordinary DISCO exceeded 1 million after 1796 days of submission. In the Vocaloid circle, works with different playback levels have different titles, with more than 1, being palace songs, more than 1 million being legendary songs and more than 1 million being mythical songs. Ordinary DISCO is the first mythical song in Chinese Vocaloid.
At present, "Dala Beng Bar" is steadily moving towards the goal of tens of millions of plays and the second Chinese V-family myth song.
As of the end of the draft, Charlie's cover of "Dala Beng Bar" has continuously topped the list of soaring music and new songs of Netease Cloud. At the same time, the video clip of Charlie's performance uploaded by Tencent Variety has exceeded 9 million broadcasts on bilibili, and won 69, likes and 56, coin-slots, occupying the first place in the entertainment division and the ranking of the whole station.
On March 29th, the third day after Charlie's cover, the original video of "Dara Beng Bar" was played more than 8 million times. It took nearly a year to broadcast from 6 million to 7 million; From 7 million to 8 million, it took only 56 days.
With bilibili's development from the small crowd to the public, many cultural symbols belonging to bilibili have also moved from the inner circle to the outer circle, and Tianyi Luo is one of them.
In p>216, Tianyi Luo and Yang Yuying sang in the Spring Festival Evening of Hunan Satellite TV, becoming the first virtual singer to appear in the mainstream TV media in China. Since then, she has appeared on the stage of Golden Eagle Festival of Hunan Satellite TV and New Year's Eve parties of David, participated in Vae's concert, and performed "I wish people a long time" with Wang Yu, a famous Peking Opera artist, on the CCTV program "Classic Ode".
However, this road to going out of the circle is not just as easy as going from bilibili to Satellite TV. Many people may have heard of Tianyi Luo's name, but they don't know what she does. Just as many people have heard of "Ordinary DISCO", they think that the original singer is Chris Lee; I like Charlie's cover of "Dara Beng Bar", but I don't like Tianyi Luo's original version of Yanhe singing.
Excellent original works of the V family often attract a large number of singers to cover, which is regarded by insiders as an approval and extension of the original, while outsiders are more receptive to the cover version. It is very common that the cover is more popular than the original, and V fans can only sigh for the original that nobody cares about.
Many V songs are popular on the Internet with vocal versions, but the original versions are little known. For example, Anna's Window, which caught fire in Tik Tok, has both a vocal version sung by Feng Ming _ jun and a V version sung by Tianyi Luo, but most people only know the former; "King's Landing" was originally an original ancient V-style song sung by Tianyi Luo, but the number of comments and clicks of the original version was far less than that of various cover versions.
For V fans, the electronic timbre of the virtual singer is the characteristic of the V family, and it is also the most attractive place for them: I just like the voice of the electronic singer without superfluous feelings; However, for the audience who are used to listening to real people singing, electronic sound is the biggest obstacle for them to accept V-family music.
from the date of Tianyi Luo's birth, the Chinese V family has only two songs, Ordinary DISCO and Dala Bengba, which are relatively famous in the three dimensions in eight years. More original songs can only be spread in a small area, which shows the difficulty of breaking the circle.
the more crucial question is, do they really want to go out of the circle?
Breaking that dimensional wall
At the same time that Charlie and Dara Beng Bar have a wonderful chemical reaction, uncooked rice and Chef V, two groups with different dimensions, also have a rare in-depth exchange.
Before the eighth issue of Singer was aired, ilem fans wrote a long comment under the original video of "Dara Beng Bar", which popularized the rules of the V family circle to Charlie fans and emphasized the etiquette that should be paid attention to when breaking the circle. On the whole, the fans on both sides have basically respected each other, and some people commented that this is the most friendly and harmonious exchange between two circles with almost no intersection.
Nevertheless, under the original version of "Dara Beng Bar" on QQ music, you can still see comments left by users from the cover version, such as whether this singer is a robot, Charlie really sings well, and the original singer of this song seems to be Joker Xue and Tianyi Luo.
Similar conflicts have also appeared in Chris Lee and Wang Feng's cover of Ordinary DISCO, and all the V songs that have been covered by real people.
The so-called circle-breaking of all minority circles often happens in a single work rather than the circle-breaking communication of the whole culture, which is extremely accidental and unsustainable. Therefore, many insiders have some resistance to breaking the circle, while outsiders will interpret it as a sense of superiority, thus creating a greater gap and building a higher fence.
bilibili and UP owners have made a lot of efforts to promote mutual understanding and peace between users on both sides.
In February p>219, ilem and bilibili jointly released their first album "2:3", which is the first original album produced by bilibili for UP. The album * * * contains seven original songs created by ilem, which are divided into two sides: A and B. The A side is the V-family singing version with two-dimensional style, and the B side is the live-action singing version with three-dimensional style. * * * together constitutes 2 and 3 in the album title.
For example, the V version "Da _ Ge" in Face A was sung by the virtual singer Tianyi Luo, and the vocal version in Face B invited the singer Dai Quan to sing. Both versions are original. Other singers who participated in the album include Rainbow Chamber Singers, bilibili UP Master Sanwu, Loger, Xiao Yiqing, Xin Macey and Xiao Keer.
ilem said that the purpose of this design is not to let everyone compare the quality of virtual singers and vocals, but to eliminate the misunderstanding and prejudice between the two sides. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional views of each other are incomplete and symbolic. No matter which side, what moves you is actually the same. Is it so important who sings? What matters is the emotion itself, and the result of comparison is that there is no need to compare.
from this perspective, the wall between the so-called V family and human voice, and between the second and third elements should not exist in the first place. The original version of "Dara Beng Bar" has the characteristics of the V family, and Charlie's cover of "Dara Beng Bar" also has its own highlights, and the audience has their own needs.
In fact, Charlie itself is a typical example of breaking the dimensional wall. Before taking part in The Voice of China and entering the entertainment circle, Charlie began to contribute cover works in bilibili. His bilibili account number is six digits, and the level has reached level six, which means that he registered early and used it frequently. As early as last September, he expressed his love for ilem in an interview.
People jokingly described him as a famous singer who rose from the wind and water in Sanyuan, but he was actually the old Eryuan in bilibili privately.
Charlie said in an interview on the show that he hoped that through this song, the audience would know what kind of singer he was in private: he not only had the ethereal voice in Big Fish, Origin and Dear Traveler, but also could sing Dara Beng and dance Paradise at the same time.
On the night of the eighth issue of The Singer, Charlie left a message under Weibo of ilem: Remember our agreement, and ilem replied: I know, which aroused great curiosity of fans on both sides. Perhaps there are bigger surprises waiting for uncooked rice, chef V, and everyone who loves music.
