Performing arts roads such as stadiums
Zeng Hanjiang's "lower half of the ninth inning" is expected
The bottom half of the ninth inning, a term in baseball, refers to the last half of a baseball game's regular time that can save the situation, and this opportunity to turn the tide is also the most exciting. The word was written into Zeng Hanjiang's new song. "In the second half of the ninth inning, spring and autumn come in this era," Zeng Hanjiang said, which is his favorite lyric, "this sentence is about young people to continue to improve and work hard." Whether as a player or an entertainer, sooner or later this arena will have to be handed over to young people. Zeng Hanjiang introduced that when creating this song, it is actually integrated into his own experience as an artist, I think that as an artist, I work the road of acting, just like a player who no one knows, through the hard work on the court to be known, the two experiences have similarities. ”
The second half of the ninth inning, which has appeared in the works of many rappers, some people have taken this opportunity to write about life, write about the nostalgia on the inflection point of life and the courage to move forward, and this time the "lower half of the ninth inning" is written into his own song, Zeng Hanjiang said, both to show his ideas, but also a spiritual inheritance: "Many people who don't know much about baseball know 'the second half of the ninth inning', but they don't know what the word means in baseball games. So this time, I also want to write this word into my own work. ”
When talking about the inspiration for writing songs, Zeng Hanjiang said with some excitement: "Home run like a beast, this sentence is suddenly thought of." As soon as I heard about this beat, I immediately thought of the most handsome home run in baseball. Written in English, I still hope that all people who love baseball in the world can understand and understand. ”
Unlock the creative feeling of "propositional composition"
Think more in your creation, and think less about emo at all times
"I used to write songs more unrestrained, in a state of savage growth. But this time, when I started to like baseball and decided to make it the theme of my creation, it made my creative content more concrete, and I also thought more about how to convey a spirit through melody. Therefore, for creation, it is still necessary to think more. "Regarding writing songs, Zeng Hanjiang unlocked a whole new experience, that is, self-improvement from barbaric growth to spiritual expression.
Although he only said that he should "think more" in creation, in the blink of an eye, Zeng Hanjiang gave a life philosophy of "less thinking". "When I'm working, I spend a lot of time thinking, but I think a little less in my life, especially when emo (emotional, internet term for moments of high or low mood swings). The more you think and understand in life, the more you get tired of many things. Zeng Hanjiang once mentioned many times in his exchanges with fans that "don't lose your heart too much" and "don't always think about losing, the more you think about it, the more you lose", you can't help but think, is this his happiness philosophy? Zeng Hanjiang in the interview jumped and jumped, more cheerful than him in the shot, and occasionally calmed down when thinking, frowning slightly, compared to the camera he was a few points stranger.
"Creator", this is Zeng Hanjiang's understanding of himself at this stage, "love and partner", is the meaning of rap for Zeng Hanjiang. Musical creation is for him to look back, rethink what has happened, and be able to give expectations for the future. Zeng Hanjiang revealed that there are some new songs that have not yet been released, and recently they are also thinking of EPs (mini albums). For the rap he loves, Zeng Hanjiang can't wait to share his feelings with fans, which has overflowed into words.
