Chapter 72: Qilixiang and Shuo wool(1/2)

From the group night to the yearning for life, to the tour, and then to the temporary filming of three scenes, the journey was filled with sparks and lightning, and after almost two months...

Ye Qing finally started to work on the new song.

Because I took a big night last night and had some food, I slept until twelve o'clock today.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, everything was ready when he arrived at the company. Tian Yuan took him to the newly decorated recording studio, and there were still many people inside, all of whom were chosen according to his requirements.

At this moment, when Ye Qing came over, everyone in the room immediately stood up:

"Brother Qing."

"Brother Qing is here."

Of course, there are still some old qualifications that still stick to their seniority: "Xiao Ye is here, how are you doing recently?"

"It's okay, it's all good."

Ye Qing smiled. He really had nothing to say about this title. After all, it was a bit awkward to see a bunch of older people calling him brother. So he didn't bother with this much and started to ask for work.

I'm calling out to the main singer all day long, so I have to record more songs.

Today’s theme: British rock.

Speaking of Jay Chou’s British rock or lyrical rock, after all, the first British rock "Trail" he produced was very popular, so he later produced many songs of this style for more than ten years: "All the way north", "White Windmill", "The Secret Can't Say", "Excuse", "Heard the Sound of Rain", "If You Don't Love Me"...

It can be considered a lot of types, including the previous singing "Sea of ​​Flowers" and "Sunny Day" which are also in this style.

But it really needs to be representative and popular:

Ye Qing now has girls in the fan group, but the proportion of boys among passers-by who listen to his songs is relatively high. When choosing songs, you must consider the preferences of your fans and improve the singing of passers-by... Then, if you think about it this way, you can only hit the first shot and hit it:

The eternal finale of the concert, "Qi Li Xiang".

...

In the original time and space, in 2004, Zhou Micha's song "Qi Li Xiang" won three awards for Best Composer, Supervisor and Arrangement of the Top Ten Golden Melodies in Hong Kong TVB8, and Best Composer at the 16th Golden Melodies Awards in 2005, which is enough to show the excellence of this song.

This song was also the most popular song back then.

Even if there is any controversy in the music reviews, it proved everything in the end. So when Ye Qing took out this song, he already positioned it as the main album.

The album's main theme must be the most attentive.

"I'll listen to the collected samples."

Before starting, Ye Qing first wore headphones and listened to a sample of the sound: Listening to Jay Chou’s song, the prelude can bring back one’s time to his youth.

So Ye Qing is very clear about the importance of the prelude.

As for the prelude to "Qi Li Xiang", Ye Qing asked to collect it in the mountains in person. Then he sent it after the collection. After Ye Qing heard it, he thought it was okay and left it, so he let it go.

Most of them are not good, they are given up, and a few are left behind.

But even so, there were still twenty sections left.

After some selection, he finally chose the same one: it was recorded in the mountains of Guizhou and in an empty valley. It was just after the rain, the air was wet, and a gust of wind blew towards him, and the whole feeling was just right.

"Okay, that's it."

Then, this actually belongs to the arrangement, so he didn't care much about it and officially started recording the song: the song "Qi Lixiang" is actually not that difficult, and the chords also use the commonly used Am-F-G-C (6451) - the chord direction starting with Am is Jay Chou's usual style.

It's the same as the "Sunny Day" that Ye Qing took out before.

This advantage is that it is catchy and fits the style. The disadvantage is that it is easy to fall into clichés, write a similar song, and then loses its own characteristics: Ye Qing claims that he cannot write something special.

But who said that the other party was Jay Chou?

People have the ability to write different works using things that the public has. And this difference is adjusted from some details on the song.

...

"Hey, you think this is interesting? You can actually solve the problem of sound splitting in this way..."

“Yes, very interesting design.”

"How did he come up with this way of writing this? Look, every two continuous notes, he switches to the next harmony and continues, so that the problem of overlapping sounds can be completely avoided and can continue to push the song down."

"Yes, this way, the whole song has a little more motivation to change, which will avoid the feeling of fatigue caused by being too neat and being more interesting..."

Tian Yuan finally sighed: "This feeling of constantly changing motivation is really... this kid is really good at writing melody, and he is really strong in composing."

People who have read the score are quite novel about this, and then they think it is good, and they are very creative as young people.

But overall, it was expected.

In their opinion, Ye Qingman had been studying music for less than three years. Therefore, it was surprising but within the normal range to write a simpler song with a very flexible and attractive push.

Those who did not learn anything at the beginning and took out a song "In the Name of Father"...

This logic does not match.

And then again.

In fact, the composition of the song "Qi Lixiang" is very important, but the more important thing lies in the arrangement: for example, the wind sound collected at the beginning and the use of wind chimes, including immediately following the instrument violin tone - the violin's tone is more similar to the xylophone, and the tone is brighter and clearer than the guitar, and the drum beats are added in advance to enter the state.

So this summer feeling comes out all of a sudden:

This also forms the prelude to the ear-grabbing.

But in fact, there are still many difficult things to achieve when it comes to operation. After all, Ye Qing is not a master of arrangement, and he has not worked with Zhou Miancha as an arrangement, so the running-in with Tian Yuan is still quite painful.

This is normal. Ye Qing even thought not to hang himself on a tree and look for more arrangement teachers who may be suitable.

Because this thing doesn’t mean it must be unchanged, co-production is the most important thing. Maybe they have worked hard here for many days and can help you do it in three days, so why not do it?

Ye Qing was also very open about this matter.

He is now training the company towards the top, and with the contract, he has a high degree of freedom. Sister Hua cooperates with the search in many aspects, and Ye Qing has to take time to contact these people and form his own team instead of the team that the company has brought him.

This is a troublesome thing, but it will be done sooner or later.

But it’s not the moment now, so you can do it now. It’s time to find a horse without delaying your efforts. Some of them are also kung fu.

...

Soon three days passed, and the general prototype of "Qi Lixiang" came out, but many things were not achieved overnight.

You have to slowly deduct the details.

During these three days, some special things happened. One is that the news that Ye Qing participated in "Cold Night" was finally leaked, and he was scolded as hot as ever. Then the people who were obsessed with the impression that the great director finally surrendered to his capital, and he went to Cannes now?

Or someone at most say:

I heard that it was a reshoot of Xu Yibai's scenes, so there shouldn't be many, so no one has to worry about it.

Anyway, there is a lot of controversy.

Fans didn't dare to start the microphone, so they could only remember it silently in their hearts.

Another one is Bai Ke and called to report the good news:

He got another male lead in the work - this work is quite powerful. If the previous web drama was a niche drama with suspense and the starring was also a newcomer, then this female star was Yang Zi, a young actress who gradually became popular with "Ode to Joy" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" last year.

As a child star, she is one of the few who has developed well after adulthood. Ye Qing also knew that this TV series he did not name had good results later, so he congratulated him on asking him to act well.

Bai Ke said of course.

Actually, what he didn't say is that the male protagonist in this work is not that easy to get. This time, it really depends on the relationship between brothers, so he will definitely work hard.

"Hey, what about you? Didn't you say you're going to record a new song recently?" After being excited, Bai Ke did not forget to greet Ye Qing.

"It's the record."

Bai Ke immediately became interested and asked: "When can I listen? I am your fan!"

"It's early, I'll probably be released with the album."

“Can you get out in June?”

"Thinking too much, I'm doing an album for the first time now, and I'm very annoyed by the many problems."

"I just asked, when I didn't say it. I actually wanted to say if you have time, can you help sing a theme song?"

"...I try to see how the song is."

"Okay! This sentence is enough with you!"

So he hung up the phone and continued to work hard, and March passed just like that.

...

In April, after Ye Qing's fourth song - "Qianlixiang", "Sunny Day" and "Sea of ​​Flowers", "Stranded" was also prepared. He intends to place the songs from the same album on his current album.

This style will be more appropriate and will not appear abrupt.

But doing this will also make you worry, that is: Jay Chou’s personal style is too strong, and it feels a bit inappropriate to play other songs at this time, and it is quite abrupt.

Ye Qing had thought before, don’t keep picking Jay Chou’s wool. However, it seems unreasonable to not picking up wool now. After all, the style of the songs in an album has changed a lot, which is a bit strange:

Even though Ye Qing took out the songs, there is reason for the outside world to suspect that he was the gunman who bought them.

This is not good.

On the market, I have expressed some doubts about singers like Ye Qing who became a monk who has become a monk in a halfway way, so I can produce such good works in a short time. This kind of doubt does not need to be confirmed, as long as I have the opportunity to stigmatize...
To be continued...
