This star is from the earth

There are traces of a creator's creative path, who is influenced by whom to change in which process, and which music style he prefers for listening to songs, all of which can be figured out.

But Han Jue's music development has always been a mystery. Han Jue has not studied production systematically, has no singers and musicians he admires, and has no masters who have influenced his style formation.

Han Jue's works are of different types, covering a lot of topics, but he rarely sees the shadow of other people, or can't see them at all. He seems to jump out of the history of Chinese music out of thin air to create music. This surprised many insiders, and also made some villains who wanted to label him "plagiarism" return without success.

Han Jue said frankly that he really rarely listens to other people's songs, and the amount of songs he listens to is pitifully small, and his so-called creation, "actually just records the melody in his head", after Han Jue said this with a face of shame , as if he had grasped another piece of melody from his head, he froze for a moment, then immediately stood up and ran into the production room to write down the inspiration. Another good new song.

Han Jue's new home is small, but there is a [production room] dedicated to making music. In addition to the music equipment brought from the high-end apartment, he also bought other more professional and expensive equipment.

"This was originally a comic studio." When he visited Han Juexin's home for the first time, he introduced [production studio] like this. And I can see from the cartoon figures placed on the music equipment that Han Jue is telling the truth.

Han Jue's comeback to make music is clearly for money, and he stops when he makes enough money, and then reads a lot of novels and comics. But when the money was really earned enough to stop, he hesitated again. He said he fell in love with expressing himself through music.

"Expressions that are written are often more serious and metaphysical, but it also gives people more opportunities to fake. Music is different."

He was not willing to throw away those music equipment in the end.

When moving, he hesitated all the time. I was really bored waiting, so I took his instrument and played a few times. I saw him staring straight at my amateur fingering, hesitant to speak. I simply asked him to play a piece, but he didn't refuse. In the middle of the messy living room, he set up the equipment with ease, connected it to the power supply, picked up a new piece of music, and immediately took a pen to write it down after playing it.

I reminded him, he stopped to record and looked at me, then at the pen and paper in hand. He discovered that there was something other than money in music.

...

One of the conditions for Han Jue to be able to move to a new home at a low price is to write a movie theme song for his landlord.

Lao Jia is his landlord, an American. At that time, Lao Jia was recruiting talented people and gathering people to make an English-language film in China. Only those who could help him could live in his house at a very low price. I recommended Han Jue, who can write English songs, to Lao Jia. Lao Jia knew Han Jue, and the two hit it off.

Han Jue has taught himself English for three or four years, and his writing in English is no longer hindered. The two English songs he performed at the [New York Street] bar caused a sensation immediately after they were transmitted back to the United States. This is the key to impress Lao Jia.

Han Jue's new home is very different from the old one. He seems to have really conceived it in his mind for a long time, and he already has a complete rendering. When buying furniture and interiors, Han Jue hardly needs to think about it. Go out for a stroll, and finalize all kinds of things, big and small, in one afternoon. And he also seems to be really eager to retire, and when he walks into his new home, he can't tell that there is a star living here.

At that time, I had already left [Jinsha], alone, with no friends in the circle, no resources, and no manager or assistant to accompany me on the trip. The aura of stardom faded day by day. I record the only "Let's Fall in Love" once every half a month, and spend the rest of the time looking for restaurants, watching movies, and shopping in bookstores near my new home, just like ordinary people. At the time I thought he had really retired.

However, the life of ordinary people didn't last long, and the job soon came to them. This job is also relatively rare.

After the director and producer of "I AM A SINGER" (the American version of "Singer") heard Han Jue's two English songs that caused a sensation in the United States, he made a decisive decision and traveled thousands of miles to China to inquire about Han Jue's whereabouts. Mandi invited Han Jue to the United States to participate in the competition.

After Han Jue met the other party, he found it interesting, so he agreed, because he could sing, and "it is said that the audio equipment there is very good".

Han Jue, who is free, needs an agent to help him with things other than singing, but he hardly knows anyone, and there is no one who can temporarily replace him as an agent.

He happened to hear that Guan Yi, his agent in [Sands], could not stay in [Sands] after he did not renew his contract, so he resigned, so Han Jue approached Guan Yi and re-established a cooperative relationship.

At that time, Guan Yi was not yet a partner of Han Jue's studio, nor was he a party to "Guan Guan Sad Guan Guan Guo". He only planned to vote for Han Jue's invitation. When Han Jue and Guan Yi sat together, they were like a couple with a bad relationship. Except for the necessary communication at work, they hardly spoke.

Han Jue went to sing in the United States from China. Many netizens thought it was a kind of exile and self-deprecation, but Han Jue's mentality was very calm.

Han Jue knew that the country in the United States was not very enthusiastic about music, but he didn't feel disgusted, and instead tried to make some contributions: "There are many ways to love art, but I think the best way is to make art flatter and become a part of everyone's life. Necessities of life, not luxuries."

Han Jue only focused on the stage, and sang "I AM A SINGER" like a new song release, throwing out a new piece of music every week, conquering America at an incredible speed, and fully demonstrating what it means to be talented.

Language may be an obstacle to the spread of music, but the beautiful melody and the emotions contained in the singing have no national boundaries. Han Jue's songs in the United States, returned to China and appeared on the [Bang Yun Bang], attracting a large number of Chinese people to pay attention to English songs and Han Jue.

Han Jue is the only singer who appeared on two stages of "Singer" at the same time. Invited by Zhang Yiman, Han Jue was able to appear in the finals of China's "Singer", writing and composing songs for two singers Zhang Yiman and Song Yin one after another, with a strong sense of presence.

"I'm not pleasing the audience, I'm pleasing myself." In the music of that period, Han Jue only cared about his own feelings.

[Narcissism] is the most basic trait of a creative person. If an artist does not fall in love with himself, then he will not fall in love with the world in his own eyes.

I originally planned to follow up and interview Han Jue here, and then write a manuscript on it, but the next thing made me decide to shelve this decision.

The movie that Lao Jia placed high hopes on was not made, the crew disbanded, and Lao Jia was distraught. As a friend of Lao Jia, Han Jue and I prepared a gift for Lao Jia together with several other friends, which is to build a more reliable crew for him.

In addition to continuing to write the theme song and soundtrack, Han Jue also provided the script this time - "Time and Space Love Traveler".

Some of my friends thought that Han Jue bought it from a screenwriter and wanted to give him money, but Han Jue said he wrote it. Han Jue has obviously been trained as a professional screenwriter, and his sophistication is reflected in every line of the script. He seems to have been preparing for a long time to become a screenwriter, and he even has a special booklet to record the outlines of the stories he thought of. After the director of the crew went on strike, Han Jue took over from the screenwriter's position to the director's position. The photographer said that Han Jue's shot and director's explanations are professional.

This is another side that is completely different from the previous Han Jue.

Before conducting an interview, a reporter usually gets to know the subject of the interview and leaves with questions. Before the interview with Han Jue, I also read a lot of materials and prepared a lot of questions, but in front of Han Jue, I found that all the materials I prepared were old and useless.

I didn't ask Han Jue where he learned to write scripts, where he learned to direct, or why he learned these things.

Asking him "why" constantly makes me feel like a tourist reading a guidebook standing in front of a building, so busy reading the history of the house's construction that I get in the way of the beauty of the building.

In order to watch Han Jue more completely, I decided to spend a longer time watching and feeling it.
