Since "China's New Rap" is about to start, we are also ready to tweet the characters of the "China Has Hip Hop" series. In the last summary of "China Has Hip Hop", we mentioned at the end of the article that if you have a prominent personality in the show, you may get more shots, and even more likely to qualify. Today, let's talk about one of the most prominent players in "China Has Hip Hop", Ghost Bian.
Perhaps the use of the word "human" to describe Ghost Bian is not too accurate, but the deep, thick, magnetic voice, and the explosive subwoofer voice brought about by the voice pressing technique in singing, have become one of his biggest labels. It is also this label that has allowed him to successfully go all the way to the top 12 in the country.
The primary school chinese class teacher, the image is more strange, like sophistry, when the teacher plays rap is the most cattle, this is his description of himself in the interview with iQiyi. Just a few words let me have a certain understanding of him at the same time, but also let me feel his inner madness, uninhibited. There is no certain level, and I dare not say such things. Indeed, the performance in "China Has Hip Hop" also makes everyone see that Ghost Bian's words are not without exaggerated elements.
Ghost Bian left a deep impression on me during the audition. Pan Weibai said what's up to him, and he gave Pan Weibai four words: protect the ears. Immediately, the subwoofer-like voice attracted the attention of the audience. A passage of Acappella is impeccable in both the Flow arrangement and the mastery of the rhythm, although there is a slightly stuck sentence, and the bite word is not particularly clear. However, it does not affect the overall performance. After the end, the acappella that blew up the sky also received applause from the audience. The embarrassing thing was that Pan Weibai took over the chain, and instead of sending it to Ghost Bian but walked to the next player, Ghost Bian also had a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth.
Pan Weibai listened to the singing of other contestants, and the voice of Ghost Bian always appeared in his mind. I have to say that although ghost bian's style is slightly exaggerated, it is very recognizable and easy to impress. In the end, Pan Weibai also went back and awarded the chain to Ghost Bian. It is worth mentioning that Ghost Bian is the only player who takes off his hat to pay tribute when receiving the necklace. On the surface, he is a strange and crazy ghost, but he still retains a sense of humility in his heart.
In the 60S singing stage, Oni Bian sang his masterpiece "Ninja", but changed his name to "Chivalrous" in the show. The original song itself has some Japanese color, and the chant of Ghost Bian in the Hook part adds a bit more of a spiritual color. In the show, there was a Beat but it did not affect the excitement of the song itself at all, the rhyme feet were sharp, there was no sense of pressure, the whole punchline, only two sentences won the applause of the whole hall.
The newly changed accompaniment and the original accompaniment not only have a gap in style, but also a little faster in rhythm. But Ghost Bian still mastered the new accompaniment perfectly, and did not make mistakes such as grabbing a slow shot and swallowing words. With such a performance, it is natural to easily qualify.
Then came the brutal Battle. Ghost Bian was selected by the long-famous veteran Jony J, and the song that the two powerful players collaborated on was clearly meant to blow up the whole field. The two have completely different styles, different timbres, what sparks will collide?
Unfortunately Jony J forgot the words in this round! The personal verse forgot the words three times in a row, and did not even sing 1/3 of them, although Ghost Bian kept reminding him that Jony J did not coherently, and the whole song was directly broken. On the other hand, Ghost Bian's Versace 2 is slightly bland in terms of Flow arrangement, but it does not make any mistakes and wins easily. If Jony J can sing his versatility in its entirety, who will be promoted will probably be another result.
Ghost Bian stopped at the 12-in-9 match, and in this game, compared with the other three, the ghost Bian who appeared in the finale in the finale was indeed slightly inferior. I don't know if it is not adapted to this fast drum beat Trap style, Ghost Bian's personal verse does not have anything to show off, and integrates some singing things, but it is obviously suppressed by the wonderful versatility choreography of Li Daben and Bridge in front of him. Although Ghost Bian has not been able to go further, it is not a pity to go to the top 12 in the country.
Before "China Has Hip Hop", most people, including myself, had never heard of who Ghost Bian was. He has a legitimate and stable job as a teacher, which is the biggest difference between him and other Rappers. Most of the underground Rappers are in the awkward stage of choosing between work and dreams, but Ghost Bian has a stable income, while working, insisting on his hobbies again and again. Some people also quipped that Ghost Bian may be the only Rapper in China with five insurances and one gold.
Ghost Bian's early works, the style of the song is more depressing, the sense of dark atmosphere combined with the voice of his subwoofer, can always create a strange feeling that envelops the listener. The album "Ximen" is a good embodiment.

This album tells the story of a process from death to rebirth. Using a large number of elements of hymn spiritual music, strings, biblical chanting, a strong sense of religion suppresses people breathlessly. Ghost Bian himself is an atheist without religious belief, but he uses this unique musical form to carry the process of divine pathos from death to rebirth to express his thoughts. The process of death to rebirth, the abyss to the earth, and the hell to heaven are all reflected in this album.
At the same time, Ghost Bian's early style is difficult to define, and the elements of horror hardcore, heavy metal, and religious elements can all be found in his works. Ghost Bian's own hoarse and deep voice is also compatible with these elements to form his unique rap style, in fact, perhaps in terms of his early style, I think he is more suitable for playing rock. This voice, which was born for heavy metal deadcore rock, did not expect that it would be a trifecta to play rap.
Maybe the weirdness of his style, the dark style, is related to his previous experience of depression. Marilyn Manson was his idol and had an influence on his personal style. But he was not limited by this style. Maybe this darkness is a label for him, but this label does not represent him.
New album "Desire. "Love" is the best embodiment. This album is also a bold attempt by Ghost Bian. There are three singles in total, and the span is also very large, incorporating a lot of reggae, R&B and popular elements. It has abandoned the previous singing method that can suppress the voice, and added a large number of melodic singing voices. Without the husky torn voice of the past, there is more lightness and magnetism. This album tells the lust and affection of ghost Bian, a delicate and beautiful woman like a butterfly, a woman who is light and flowing like the wind, an intoxicating woman, and the devil like a ghost Bian is also immersed in this gentle countryside of this bay.
This change also made many fans shout uncomfortable, but Ghost Bian immediately released a new order "24 hrs". This song spans a lot more, playing Trap, the hoarse voice of the ghost bian subwoofer, paired with a heavy 808 drum, capable of tearing everyone's eardrums. Although it is a Trap, the lyrics are still gorgeous and well-written. The skills of the Chinese teacher are still there.

Perhaps the early dark style had a deep influence on him, and the change of age and the change of thinking also promoted his change. But the label does not completely imprison him, jump out of this person, he can bring more and more wonderful things, but in essence there is no change, but the way it is used to express it has changed, he is still a ghost.
Hidden in this thin shell are two distinct souls. During the day, he is a gentle and kind angel who teaches and educates people. At night it is the devil who walks in the darkness, breaking the hearts of all people with his hoarse and deep voice.
Some people may say that his contrast is deliberate, a Chinese teacher is so pompous can he go to class well. During the day, wear gold wire glasses and wear a white shirt, and only the gentleness and elegance of the students in the eyes. Bring red pupils at night and immerse yourself in his voice and music.
But this is Ghost Bian, a two-faced freak who uses the voice of sophistry to tell his joys and sorrows.
