In the new season of "Rap Listen to Me", there are two female faces that seem to be not next to each other, but they have one extremely similar thing in common:
They all underwent a subversive self-transformation after many years of fame, and the sudden transformation from a popular established style to a niche "alternative" singer was once very puzzling.
One of them is called Gong Linna and the other is called Zhu Jingxi.
However, the same is to deny the previous self to start again, the two people's practices are very different, and with a little drama - Zhu Jingxi, who was born in Yunnan, eventually lost the Yunnan label that made him famous, and Gong Linna, who lived in Germany, moved to Yunnan from thousands of miles away, took root in Dali, Western Yunnan with her husband Lao Gong, and deeply absorbed the artistic nourishment of national music.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="52" > changed from Zhu Jing to Zhu Jingxi, and she changed her face and became thorough</h1>
There are many people in Yunnan who can sing and dance, but there are not many singers who can eventually go out.
Zhu Jing (formerly known) a Dai girl from Pu'er, went out and left Yunnan at the age of 16 to train at the forefront of the pop music wave.
But at that time, it was only the shell that went out, and her soul still belonged to Yunnan. Therefore, the songs made are almost full of Yunnan elements, which sound nostalgic and have a different taste.
However, after changing from Zhu Jing to Zhu Jingxi, everything has undergone a huge change.
One is that the name has changed; the second is that the form and style of music have changed; and the third is that the traces of Yunnan have gradually faded until they disappear.
A Dai girl who ran out to meet the world when she was a teenager and sought breakthroughs and changes after entering middle age (if you are middle-aged from the age of 30), is undoubtedly a positive performance from some point of view. However, Zhu Jingxi, who has entered the field of avant-garde music, especially electronic music, has changed too thoroughly, not only music, but also makeup and dress have completely changed, becoming a little strange.
The legendary makeover should be like this.
The most regrettable thing is that her music is getting farther and farther away from her homeland because she is too obedient to her personal preferences. In his latest works, there is hardly a trace of the original shadow.
In her opinion, maybe this is called foreign qi. But she may not know that when the thing that has melted into her blood is completely abandoned by herself, her music is only a flashy shell.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="67" > Gong Linna's cleverness: no matter how it changes, her roots are not lost</h1>
Gong Linna, who changed from folk songs to "Divine Comedy" and then to ancient styles, due to the widespread popularity of "Nervous" in previous years, her popularity is much higher than that of Zhu Jingxi. So many people have witnessed her changes and gradually accepted her changes.
This acceptance comes not only from her persistence, but also from her cleverness. Obviously, with the "assistance" of lao gong, she has become a smart musician who understands her own strengths very well.
Following the above topic, if Zhu Jingxi's transformation is a makeover, Gong Linna's transformation can be described as a rebirth. To say the difference between the two, the former tends to be superficial, while the latter is more inclined to the kernel.
That is to say, it is also seeking change, and Gong Linna obviously wants to be more successful.
Why? Because she grasped one of the most fundamental things that belonged to her own blood, that is, the soul of national music. From Guizhou to Beijing to Germany to the return, from the Youth Song Competition to the countryside of Dali, 20 years have passed, no matter how it changes, Gong Linna's musical journey has always revolved around national music and has not changed.
Not for the sake of change, only for more diverse forms of expression, more advanced aesthetics. This is the "trick" to Gong Linna's success.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="68" what Zhu Jingxi lost > precisely what Gong Linna insisted on and gained</h1>
This "trick", Zhu Jingxi may not be able to grasp it, or it may be really impossible to master. In short, in her case, there is a certain "rupture" due to change, so that the music she is currently making is disconnected from her past self.
Since she changed her name and personal image, this may be the result she wants. However, how significant is this result for Zhu Jing, a Girl of the Pu'er Dai ethnic group in Yunnan? Don't you think it's a loss?
What was lost? Lost what Gong Linna insisted on and gained, lost an entire "Yunnan".
Seeing a music review, it can be said that Zhu Jingxi's musical journey can be divided into three paragraphs, the first paragraph is when she debuted when she was young, the third paragraph is when it is now, and the middle is the long period of growth, which can also be said to be a confused period. Music critics believe that Zhu Jingxi during that period was "wavering" and her positioning has always been in a state of "blurring".
Now she has finally stopped "swinging" and has taken a place in the territory of avant-garde music. But it is still that sentence: as a Yunnan ethnic minority musician, she is gaining more than she loses. (Hechuan/Wen Note: The pictures are from the Internet)
