"Cloud Graduation" is the theme of the 2020 graduation season.
From the initial with a little helplessness, to the later brain hole, there is no way to complete the graduation ceremony in the real world, then put the things of wearing a bachelor's uniform, wearing a bachelor's hat, and taking a photo with the principal to the "cloud" to achieve. Whether it's minecraft, a dynamic version or a free version... In short, graduation, we have to make a sense of ceremony.
At 8:00 p.m. on July 11, the "Bilibili Summer Graduation Song 2020" invited Li Yuchun, Park Shu, Old Wolf, Mao Buyi, You Changjing, Nai Wan, Escape Plan, Tangerine Sea and many other musicians to sing together. After watching the whole concert, I would like to say that the summer graduation song party at Station B is the one with the most sense of ceremony, quality and resonance among all the "cloud graduation" activities in 2020.
Let's start with the sense of ceremony.
When it comes to the graduation song party, you may think of the "Shoya Song Music Festival" held by Japan's count down tv (cdtv) every March. March is not only the cherry blossom season in Japan, but also the graduation season, or "The Meaning of Goodbye" by Nogisaka 46, or "Hand Paper" by Angela Aki, we bid farewell to yesterday and look forward to tomorrow. If under the cherry blossom tree is the ritual of the Japanese graduation season, in the context of Chinese, the stage is at the seaside. The sea is wide and the fish leap, and the sea represents a vast world waiting for every young person to explore.
In 2001, Mayday published the final chapter of their "Blue Trilogy" titled "Life Sea", and named their "Graduation Concert" "Where Are You Going", with "I know that there must be a tide after the tide rises" to send a message to young people, but also to cheer themselves up; in 2007, Chen Huai'en directed the movie "Etude" to tell the story of a bicycle riding around Taiwan Island on the eve of graduation, under the gentle touch of the Blue Pacific Ocean, "Some things are not done now, they will not be done in a lifetime" It became the most inspiring words of the year; in 2020, Station B and Mao Buyi jointly released "Into the Sea", dedicated to people who are about to graduate or have graduated, jumping into the sea of people, each with a brilliant wind and rain - in the graduation song of Station B that night, Mao Buyi of course also sang this song. In short, no matter how the climate changes, the sea is always the best curtain in the graduation season.
To this end, the bilibili summer graduation song was specially selected for recording in Aranya, a resort located on the Gold Coast of Qinhuangdao. On the soft sand, in the afterglow of the sunset, the song will set up different performance stages, like a graduation trip by the sea for the friends, three or three two people form different stalls, after a noisy day, began to sing around the campfire. The old wolf reminds us of the precious moments on campus in the "Lonely Library", Park Shu reminds us of the starlight meadows we enjoy with our classmates and friends in the "tent stage", and Li Yuchun's "caravan stage" reminds us that we are always young and always on the road.
Such a graduation song, how can the sense of ceremony not max? Coupled with the unique barrage etiquette of station B, we see that there are constantly graduates from all over the country who launch the names of their schools and departments, which is a veritable "cloud graduation"!
Then there's the sense of quality.
In addition to the well-designed scenes, the film-level film crew of the graduation song of this B station, in addition to these visual parts, is also top-notch in terms of the lineup of artists and the presentation of music.
Our master Park Shu, who ran away for half his life and returned as a teenager, sang three songs in a row, which were the crystallization of his creative life spanning more than 20 years from his past three albums. From the youth bloom of "Born like a Summer Flower", the "new boy" of that year is still "forever young" 20 years later, and finally attributing thousands of splendors to the mountains and lakes of the world, "Ordinary Road" is not to persuade young people to be afraid of their hands and feet, but to make the seemingly ordinary of us each shine. Park Shu's song list design is unique, and his sincerity and original intention are the same as usual.
Li Yuchun first brought an old song of hers from more than 10 years ago, "Just Like You". "Who can forget the injuries you suffered along the way in the past, who can predict where you are in the future", it is too appropriate to hear this song at the graduation song party. The next "Next, Intersection, See" was originally a free love song, but placed here, Li Yuchun and the band together a cheerful and bright presentation, which sounds more like a farewell to standing at the crossroads of life. There is also "No more crazy we are old", Li Yuchun adapted this song into a punk rock style, while sighing that "summer has gone away", while calling on us to grasp the youth fire in our hands, like the fire that sprays thin with the electric guitar during the interlude, and burns hot.
The escape plan brought with them two big hits, "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and "Goodbye And Goodbye." We are all familiar with this, and both songs represent the super adaptability of good works. As one of the most iconic bands in the current Chinese pop scene, Escape Project may have performed these two songs on countless occasions, but this summer night of 2020 about the graduation season, they have once again been given new life.
About the band, I was also pleasantly surprised to see the Sea of Oranges. Starting last year, tangerines are a band from a coastal city with fresh and lovely guitar lines and a psychedelic beauty of city pop in their rhythms. In addition to singing their masterpiece "With Heating", they also sang their Chinese single "Not Far Away". This is actually an old song written by Orange Sea in 2013, when they were still unknown, and when they performed, on a small stage, they would always sing "Not Far Away" at the end. The band chose to sing this song in the graduation song party, thinking that when they were still very young, they were also like the graduates of 2020, facing the question of where tomorrow is, with infinite expectations. The young people are actually the same, looking at the distance the same, "Teenager, don't panic."
There are other wonderful performances by artists, and the list goes on. Not only as a graduation song, but also as another online concert spawned by the epidemic this year, the bilibili summer graduation song is also a high-quality concert that shows high quality from the artist's specifications and production planning and arrangement.
Finally, let's talk about resonance.
In fact, if you watch the live broadcast and see the bullet screen that quickly blocks the picture, you will know the praise of this graduation song meeting. Those graduates who leave the campus at the moment naturally need not say, what is more valuable is that this graduation song party is not only the graduation song of the 2020 graduates, but also an opportunity for us in post-adolescence, or all of us who have been young and have been graduates, to reopen the youth memorial book.
"All the adults were once children, though only a few remember." "The Little Prince" said. It's not that we don't remember, it's that we need some kind of hook to pick up the memory. It's not hard to find that in the bilibili summer graduation song, it is as good as possible if the memories of each generation are awakened.
If you are a post-70s and post-80s, and you are awakened by the old wolf, the "loneliest library in the world" on the seashore, and his good friends for ten years (such as accordionist Zhang Weiwei), singing classic campus folk songs, "Tiger's Mouth Escape", "Brother Who Slept on My Upper Bunk Bed", is there no bunk bed in the school with good accommodation conditions? It was a generation where material life was not rich, but our spirit was plump and poetic, and the campus was always romantic.
If you are a little later than the 80s, Park Shu is the memory of your campus. Of course, Park Shu is also romantic, but he is much more rebellious than Brother Wolf, and dropped out of school halfway through college and chose the path of music. Listen to Park Shu at that time, there was also discman, and you lent it to the female classmates along with the CD of "I Went to 2000". Why borrow instead of sending? Because Qian Zhongshu said that there is a loan and a return, then you can have a good chat with her twice.
If you are after 85, then your graduation season of that year may have been spent with Li Yuchun. In the same year when he was 22 years old, Li Yuchun, who was also a fresh graduate, seized an opportunity to change his life and opened his own legend. I watched an interview with her, and Li Yuchun said that she was very lucky, the classmates around her were all looking for jobs after graduation, and they were all thinking about what to do after graduation, but she lived a completely different life.
After that, if you are a post-90s, if you are in a hurry, you may have already run three, and no matter how you are already a social spirit guy who has experienced training, it will be Mao Not easy to impress you, whether it is his "Midsummer", or the special project "Into the Sea" prepared by this and B station. During the performance, Mao Buyi said that he had not sung to his classmates for a long time, and he remembered when he first appeared on the stage at school. Mao Buyi still looks like that "civilian superstar", who said that only huge can be great? Like Mao Buyi, being a very powerful ordinary person is also a lofty ambition!
As for the post-95s who graduated this year or graduated soon, you may like You Changjing, like Naiwan, like the sea of oranges... Or throw away the generation gap full of prejudices in front of you, and you are free to explore the world. This is a generation that refuses to be defined, a generation that grew up from pluralism and decentralization. Likes don't actually need to be categorized, and they don't need a reason.
In short, you see, this time the B station graduation song party is not only for the 2020 fresh graduates. As long as you "always have that young man in your heart," you'll be hit by a song and think of those glory days.
Such a graduation song with a super sense of ceremony, quality and resonance, if you miss the live broadcast, please also wish to click on the replay. On the train of youth, each of us is destined to be a passer-by. Just like the talking of Li Yuchun in the finale, she wishes young people, on the road to the future, to cut through thorns, always maintain curiosity, and challenge the world. Maybe you are no longer young like me, but you should not forget that you were in this mood at the moment when you once entered the sea.
forever young。
