On March 27, Lin Junjie's 39th birthday, he chose to hold an online live concert in his studio, and he was going to open a singing in Shanghai.
Hu Yanbin exclaimed Lin Junjie's performance
He does not stop moving forward like other singers when it comes to music, after getting some applause and fame. He's different, he's going to have a passion for music, he's going to evolve himself all the time.
What kind of story is behind his growth from a cream boy in his debut to a popular king today? Today I would like to share with you Lin Junjie's two advanced paths.
First Step: Creation
01
Sea Butterfly Period
Lin Jun distinguished in 2003. In 2004, which is considered to be one of the peak years of the Chinese music scene, "Jiangnan" with an R&B Chinese style swept across the country, "We who don't understand love and hate are tormented, and we have all fallen in love like the fickle wind and clouds in the past." ”
At that time, Jay Chou wanted to know about Qilixiang, Jolin Tsai was jumping 36 counts, Eason Chan began to compose for ten years, Fei'er Band preached our love, Zhang Shaohan interpreted fables, Dao Lang was watching the first snow in 2002, SHE incarnated as Super star, pan Weibai was still happily worshipped by whom...
Lin Junjie carried the dream in the smoke and rain of Jiangnan and turned out to be born.
The song "Jiangnan" originated from Lin Junjie's feelings about the ancient city wall when he participated in the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an.
At that time, Lin Junjie's ideas for writing songs were created according to his usual contacts or hobbies.
▼ "No. 89757" is derived from a movie he likes to watch, "Mechanical Public Enemy".
▲"Drunken Chibi" is the theme song of the game based on the virtual elements of the game.
At that time, the popular "Little Dimples" of thousands of young boys and girls, with its sweet style, sweet lyrics, and fresh singing voice, became one of the aces of The Internet pop songs at that time, and even many of my friends said that they began to fall in love because of this song.
In the end, Lin Junjie's early career as a sea butterfly created a lot of popular songs, but many of them were ballet songs, that is, with simple melodies, composing catchy saliva songs.
▲ That is, many fans say that the early stage is "playing music"
This kind of song, in terms of business, can get a higher degree, that is, it can be more recognized by the public, with a high degree of singing and a wide range of dissemination.
However, in terms of music creation, it is actually relatively poor, there is no desire to listen to it many times, and there is no willingness to further explore the deep meaning of the song, and the difficulty of creating songs is also moderate. (Only for later periods)
However, the masterpieces of this stage such as "Jiangnan", "A Thousand Years Later", "She Said" and so on, are still very good.
Small Easter eggs
In fact, one of Jay Chou's three ace arrangements, Zhong Xingmin, gave up cooperation with Jay Chou in the later stage, and it is reported that it is because Jay Chou has gradually deviated from the original intention of making music and playing music together, and many ideas cannot be unified.
02
Warner period
Many JJ fans, or only from the perspective of passers-by, are praising Warner and stepping on the sea butterfly, and Lin Junjie in the Warner period is seriously "making music".
So is joining Warner a watershed in his musical path?
▲ Shoot the MV of "Learning Not To"
"Learning Can't" is Lin Junjie's first record to join Warner. The company also did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to shoot a very stylish MV in Europe. From the production level, Warner can be said to be from the class, and "Learning Can't" also has a sense of high-end that Lin Junjie's previous albums did not have.
Not only the company's production level has improved, But Lin Junjie's own production level is also improving.
In "Talk to Yourself", the first "head recording" mode was created to create a 3D stereoscopic surround listening effect.
In particular, the song "Song Not For Anyone", not only has it been recognized by the Golden Melody Award, but has become a benchmark in the industry in terms of production and singing skills, and is Lin Junjie's later landmark work.
And one of my favorite albums is Lin Junjie's "Great Smallness" that has been precipitated for 2 years.
At this stage, he no longer aims to earn the eyes of others, he has been famous for a long time, and now he only wants to make the music he wants to make.
Lin Junjie is increasingly focusing on showing his thinking about life and the world, and his understanding of music, which is very important for musicians.
In general, Lin Junjie's progress in music creation has more of a craftsman spirit.
Second Step: Singing
God appreciates the meal to eat, is the day after tomorrow's efforts can not catch up, Lin Junjie's tone is very good, male and female, high recognition, and he also received the highest evaluation -
The sound of being kissed by God
When Lin Junjie first debuted, the image of his voice was suddenly yin and yang, fresh and slightly childish, a young and childish voice.
However, there are also shortcomings, the voice is too thin, the vocal position is too far ahead, the bass is unstable at the same time, the treble can not go up, so at this stage, Lin Junjie has not yet been discussed by people with singing skills.
On the left is MJ's teacher, Seth Riggs
In 2005, Lin Junjie began to visit MJ's teacher Seth Riggs in the United States to learn SLS singing (that is, the most scientific singing method, which can extend the singing life while maximizing the quality of the voice and tapping the potential of the voice. ）
It can be seen that Lin Junjie realized very early that strength is the magic weapon to survive in the circle.
"Learning Not" is recognized by the public as Lin Junjie's singing evolutionary work, his voice has faded childish, more and more thick and powerful, full voice. Starting with "Learning Not To", the songs behind it began to get harder and harder...
In recent years, he has newly evolved techniques such as angry sounds, weak mixes, and local vibrations, and he has truly become a textbook-level singer, and strong mixing and metal cores are JJ's current powerful technologies.
In 2015, the song "Song Not For Anyone" was released, and "Learning Can't" became a younger brother.
Although lyricist Lin Qiuli wrote the lyrics in a hurry at the time, the song was recognized by the Golden Melody Award. And this song, as the name suggests, is really a song that is not written for anyone else.
Continuous high pitch and transposition, this song can only be sung by Lin Junjie himself, and the quality can be guaranteed.
Lin Junjie also won the title of "walking CD" with a perfect interpretation of the scene again and again, that is, it is not the "recording studio" singer that people often say, and the live live is the stage to show his true strength.
▲NetEase cloud netizen comments
The variety show "The Sound of Dreams" is the stage for him to show his strongest singing skills and strength.
From the first issue of "I Miss", to the second issue of "Lost You, How To Win the World", and then to the third issue of "Understanding", one song after another has been re-given connotation and labeled lin Junjie.
Lin Junjie challenged the ears of the judges again and again, refreshing people's understanding of his singing skills again and again, is this person not an idol? When did you become a powerhouse?!
In fact, Lin Junjie has been the image of the big boy next door since his debut, so he was named an idol singer, but he has been perfecting his singing arsenal. So we are often deceived by his appearance.
In the second season of the show, "How About Losing The World You Won", it directly erupted with a B4 closed accent, superimposed with three feelings, like a tsunami that came from three layers and became stronger and stronger, coming to you, using an idiom to describe it as a good mood.
And the third season of singing "Comprehension", than Li Zongsheng's original version of the 4 keys in a row, strong mix directly hard, the final angry tone is even more stunning, causing the mentor Zhang Liangying to blink out of the starry eyes, Hu Yanbin directly exhaled. To use an idiom to describe it is to tear the heart and lungs.
At this stage, Lin Junjie, in addition to having a "walking CD", was upgraded to a "flying bomber" and "original singing beyond the aircraft" on variety shows.
At present, in the G2-E5 range, Lin Junjie is already one of the top two in the Chinese music scene.
▲Lin Junjie and Han Hong cooperated in "Under the Flying Clouds"
Han Hong commented after cooperating with Lin Junjie
Lin Junjie is a once-in-a-century genius, like him who can write songs but sings so well, he really can't come out for a long time.
It's just a pity that in 2009, Lin Junjie suffered the worst accident in his career, and the backflow of stomach acid eroded the vocal cords and caused a loss of voice, which also hit Lin Junjie's heart.
There is a professional god analysis, if there is no accident, Lin Junjie can reach the current singing ability in 2014, it can be said that this accident made Lin Junjie's progress about 5 years late.
Lin Jun's outstanding Dao has been 17 years old, he has grown from the big boy with one eyelid and small dimples to the musician he is today, but he has no intention of stopping. As his Weibo profile says, "I am a music maniac, a life seeker, an artistic dreamer", dreams, never stop.
Small Fan Wai:
During the epidemic this year, Lin Junjie not only launched "Stay with You" to pay tribute to the frontline medical staff, but also in the show "Hey, What Are You Doing" for his fan medical escort on the most sincere wishes.
