Chapter 216： Follow-up 5 orders

From just a dream, in just six months, this is the fifth single from Evan Bell's line. Generally speaking, it is not easy to achieve a breakthrough in sales when the singles line is so intensive. After all, the music market is already very competitive, and now several singles from Evan and Bell are still on the list. , is completely his left hand beats his right hand. Of course, sometimes, the singles are crowded because the sales of the previous single are not as good as expected, so they have to start a new round of promotion with a new single.

However, this does not seem to apply to Evan Bell.

In the week leading up to "Crazy World," topping the Billboard Singles Chart "Just a Dream...," No. 9, "Broad Sky..., No. 10," "Finally," No. 16, and Not long ago, "Tonight Tonight" was at No. 6, and all four singles are still in the top 20, which is absolutely amazing.

Therefore, five singles of "Crazy World" were released on Evan Bell's birthday. The music critics believed that the symbolic meaning was greater than the actual meaning, mainly to commemorate Evan Bell's birthday, and of course to borrow "Death Illusion" on DVD. The booming rental market has added fire to Evan Bell's album.

This time, the "crazy world, the publicity process finally followed a mainstream law,

It appeared at the same time as the 30-second audition of Eleven Music Blog. Although, as early as the beginning of the year at the "Sundance Film Festival", "Crazy World" was spread because of the good reputation of "Death Illusion", and then because of the album "One", "Crazy World" It has received a lot of attention, but people who have not heard this song still occupy the majority, so the audition on the music blog is obviously not an act of having enough to do, but a formal propaganda act.

To the surprise of professional music critics and song mí, following "Just a Dream", Evan-Bell once again completed his second MV work with a home digital video camera. Originally, everyone thought that Warner Records would be lazy and edited the movie clips of "Death Illusion" directly into a MV. Unexpectedly, Evan Bell actually went into battle in person and showed his talent again in the director's position.

At the beginning of the MV, the line of sight is on an old high-rise building, standing next to the railing and looking down. From the picture, it can be seen that this building is about six or seven stories high, compared to skyscrapers. It is a small bungalow, but the sight is projected to the ground, and it is not too clear to look at the silhouette of the pedestrians below.

On this street that seems to have some years, a group of children are frolic and play. The elegant and heavy piano sound makes the sound of the play stained by the sun and turns into old photos in memory.

With the clear but sad voice of Evan Bell, the children began to form patterns one by one in a certain order. It looked like a sycamore leaf, the child standing at the end of the leaf stem was wearing red clothes, and the other children were all black dots. It's just a pattern, but it's as beautiful as a painting.

Immediately afterwards, the children scattered again, and after regrouping, they turned into a sailing boat, a small birthday cake, and every pattern change of Cinderella's glass slipper. Orderly, but children play in random patterns. There is no necessary connection between patterns and patterns, it just changes inorganically.

But it is this seemingly chaotic scene, the cloudy sky is a little depressing, and the sunlight that occasionally penetrates the clouds and tilts down, but this scene has a sense of powerlessness, which haunts my heart.

The picture suddenly rises and slides across the street. You can see the fallen tree branches in the distance, and then see the figure leaning on the railing, it is Aiqibel. The gray shirt, the black plum coat, the long head was wantonly messy in the wind, thin and tǐng, but the meaningful temperament revealed a trickle of desolation.

The camera falls again, the children are still playing, the patterns continue to change, the whales spraying water, the seesaw in motion. The meaningless picture, in the sad music, brings out a deeper meaning. This chaotic world is indeed insane. The children's laughter, a simple but expressive pattern, is just a gust of autumn wind, which dyes everything in a light gray color, and the whisper of Evan Bell in the ear is like a small force, in the bottom of my heart. One of the corners of the nose kept pulling. Pain, but not obvious, just continuous pain, surging into my heart intermittently, and before I knew it, I realized that I was deeply immersed in it, the tears did not stay, but the nose was sore.

When the camera moved up again, it saw a black piano on the roof, just on the edge of the roof without railings, as if it would fall down at any time and become shattered. But in front of the piano, Evan Yibel sat quietly, his slender back became thinner and thinner in the wind, and magical musical symbols flowed from the black and white keys, dancing in the air.

The MV is over, the song is over, but the echoes in my heart are not over.

Evan Bell's second MV reflects a completely different style from "Just a Dream". The camera returns to the most primitive long shot, and it even makes people suspect that the whole song is completely in one shot. No editing, no cuts and whistles, just the simplest picture. Even the colors were not adjusted deliberately, just the old streets, the desolate autumn scenery, that's all. However, the composition of the picture and the coordination of timing easily penetrate the theme of the song.

The pictures formed by the children are meaningless, but they are worth a thousand words, and they paint a different picture in everyone's heart. "Crazy World" is a very sad song, not despairing, not howling, not venting, but the sadness spreads from note to note, and then overwhelms the sky.

In this MV, Evan-Bell tried to use the symbolic images to reveal a deeper meaning. Director, is indeed a very magical position.

Although the "One" album was released, various media more or less commented and introduced "Crazy World", but this time, the music critics commented again. In addition to commenting on the single "Crazy World", many media also commented on the MV.

The one-sentence music review of "Rolling Stone" has a lot of weight. "This year's most profound song, sung in the bottom of my heart. The picture of the MV is so exquisite that it is suffocating, and the thoughts in my mind are enough to drown myself." The five-star recommendation is obviously right "Crazy World" is highly regarded.

The five-star recommendation of "Rotation" once again adds to "Crazy World" "The melodious piano sound, clear and moving singing voice, can't be forgotten for a long time, whether this world is too crazy, or whether we have fallen into madness, it is unknown. Bell moved the world with his singing, and in the MV, he used the pictures to build a different world, a world of memories that will change into different scenes in everyone's heart."

In addition, the "magazine" commented that "it is the pinnacle of Bell's current work!

The highest combination of artistic conception, arrangement and interpretation. "Obviously "Magazine" thinks that this single has surpassed the quality of the previous four songs, and has become the most recommended song in Evan Bell's single.

"Mixer" believes that "the autumn scenery is full of bleakness in Bell's voice." The five-star recommendation is still very bright.

"The new single of the most powerful newcomer Bell in 2001, the music is released, the movie is released! Combine the movie to enjoy the music, combine your own understanding of the music, and even more! "Death Illusion, the theme song, is worth listening to. "In the "Bulletin Board" magazine, it focuses on the combined report with the movie, and the recommendation index is still given five stars.

William Wood's "Entertainment Weekly" was naturally unwilling, and in a one-sentence music review, "Bell is like a novel with endless fun and knowledge, so you can always create surprises on the next page." The meaning could not be clearer, and it has surpassed the "crazy world" itself, and I am full of praise for Evan Bell. It is no wonder that some media joked that "Entertainment Weekly" is definitely an indispensable part of Evan Bell's rise.

After Evan Bell's "Crazy World" tour on his birthday, a total of 23 media outlets posted music reviews. This number is quite impressive for the fifth single from the album "One".

Sixteen of the twenty-three media outlets gave five-star recommendations, including the most authoritative professional music magazines: five gave four-star recommendations, and two received three-star recommendations.

Obviously, with the rapid rise of Evan Bell in the music world today, and the attention that "Death Illusion" has attracted among professional filmmakers, this time, "Crazy World" has received extraordinary attention, both in terms of song quality and The artistic conception is highly respected. Evan-Bell proved his talent with facts, which is still amazing.

On November 11th, "Crazy World", which was launched at ITUNES and physical stores at the same time, was still Evan Bell's "Bell Style".

On the white cover, only a bird with folded wings fell on the ground, and a small pool of bright blood stains was hidden under the wings, but it was still dazzling, watching the small body fall to the ground, dying. Indifferent sadness pervades the cover. The words "Mad World (RLD run wildly on the cover. The signature of "Evan-Bell" also looks domineering, but under the silhouette of the fragile bird below, all domineering and dashing have become dull.

On the back cover, there is only a small stone solitary, but if someone takes a magnifying glass to look closely, it can be seen that there is an ironic smile painted on the stone. This Xiaoxian was released on the Internet only two days after the single was released. Many people roared again.

Evan-Bell's intentions on each cover and back cover have been widely known, but the profound implication Evan-Bell never admits, only the singers can understand it by themselves. However, this time, "Crazy World" is obviously full of irony and sadness from the packaging of the single, which makes people look at Evan Bell's intentions with admiration. ! .
