Chapter 188 Discussing music concepts with Xue Zhiqian
The original list of star promoters for "Tomorrow's Son" was Da Mi Mi, Li Hyuk, and Hua Chenyu.
But when Hua Chenyu saw that he was on the same stage as Li He, he was afraid of encountering the same thing as Yuan Hua, so he refused directly. Finally, the program team invited Xue Zhiqian.
Xue Zhiqian is also a variety show star himself, and there was no pressure to share the stage with Li Hyuk, so he agreed.
The recording location of "Tomorrow's Son" is in Shanghai. The production company is Penguin Video, Wow Haw Wow, and Weibo is also involved. The show also invited several celebrity promoters to help, such as Good Sister, Su Yunying, Wu Yingjie and others.
The first season of "Tomorrow's Son" plans to create a "star push" and "fan push" model.
Among them, "Xingtui" is the birth of idols who are "boosted" by popular celebrities, and the chief star recommendation officer is Da Mi Mi. The core of Xingtui is that he is no longer a superior mentor, but a promoter and helper.
Acting as a think tank for managers and recommenders can give young people more opportunities. "Powder pushers" are recommended by fans. The interactive relationship between the two is closely connected, and they jointly build a circle that creates idols.
To put it bluntly, it was just like a traffic idol talent show. Listening to the introduction of the program producer, Li Hyuk complained in his heart. I guess the program team did not expect that there would be a contestant, a cute young man with glasses,
Don't rely on looks, rely on talent, win the championship with strength.
Although his victory has increased the attention of the "Tomorrow's Sons" program, the core content planned by the program team has undoubtedly deviated.
A few days before the recording of the show, the three celebrity promoters sat down together in Li Hyuk's studio to chat and listen to Li Hyuk's new album.
"I like your song "Orcs" very much. As a song, it is quite nice. But as a League of Legends player, I want to criticize you. Your song is basically like a theme song." Xue Zhiqian and Li
He discusses music creation.
Da Mi Mi didn't understand, so he just smiled, nodded along with Li He and Xue Zhiqian, and agreed a few times from time to time.
"This song is from my new album. I originally wanted to write a new one, but after Teng Jing listened to my song, he expressed satisfaction with it, so I didn't write it again," Li He explained.
"That's it!" Xue Zhiqian suddenly realized, and then asked: "The arrangement of your song is very interesting. Can you tell me how you arranged it?"
"In terms of arrangement, I used a lot of string bowing techniques throughout the song to express a sense of tension and grandeur. The orchestration of the main song did not pursue complexity, but only a drum set and a string set." Li He briefly explained.
.
Although the real arranger teacher is Michael Lin, one of Jay's three royal arranger teachers, Li Hyuk did a complete arrangement work during the copying process, so it is very clear.
Therefore, when it comes to eating in entertainment and culture without a system, Li Hyuk feels that he is one of the best because he is really professional.
"That's it. I didn't even hear the pad when I listened. The drum set didn't have the conventional bass drum, but the hi-hat. It's amazing. I admire you, old Xue." Xue Zhiqian bowed his hand and expressed his appreciation for Li He.
Feelings of admiration.
The power of the power was unknown, and like a student, he raised his hand and asked: "Well, what are Pad and Hi-hat?"
Li He and Xue Zhiqian looked at each other, how could they explain such professional music arrangement terms to a layman like Da Mi Mi?
"Pad is the base tone. Usually when you listen to music, in addition to the main melody, there are also underlying tones composed of synthesizers, drum kits, and perhaps strings.
Hi-hat, hi-hat, is a technique often seen when playing drums." Li Hyuk explained as simply and straightforwardly as possible.
Although I didn’t quite understand Da Mi Mi, I was greatly shocked.
"Actually, I like your handling of the main song better, this kind of singing method that seems to be sung but not sung, and seems to be spoken but not spoken.
The melody line is handed over to the brass section. As an instrument, the human voice has the functions of a rhythm instrument and a melody instrument." Xue Zhiqian said and sighed: "This is not a breakthrough in composition, but a major breakthrough in musical concepts and practice.
breakthrough."
Needless to say, who calls him Jay Chou? How many years does it take for a musical genius to emerge? I am also borrowing someone else's help to write two letters of thanks to Jay Chou, but he probably won't receive them, Li He
Thinking.
After saying this, Li He handed Xue Zhiqian the album track of "Eight Dimensions of Space": "There is a song in it, "Dragon Fist". I also put a lot of thought into the arrangement."
""Dragon Fist"? This is a good name." Xue Zhiqian looked at the album tracks and said to Li He.
Li He smiled and said: "The song is better, do you want to listen to it?"
"Okay, I'm really honored to know the content of your new album in advance." Xue Zhiqian beamed.
Li He gestured to the great power: "Sister Mi, please listen together and give me some advice."
Da Mi Mi smiled and said: "You are all professionals, what advice can I have?"
Having said that, Da Mi Mi did not refuse and listened to the song "Dragon Fist" with headphones.
The sound of a big drum at the beginning almost struck Xue Zhiqian's heart. Then, along with the sound of chimes, the entire song based on Chinese culture appeared in the ears of Xue Zhiqian and Da Mi Mi.
After the vinyl Scratch sound effect, the sound of the electric guitar was rotated in different intervals, and a Chinese-style rap work came out.
Xue Zhiqian knows that Li Hyuk's previous two albums, "Lady" and "Nunchaku", are Chinese-style rap works. However, "Lady" is very Chinese-style in terms of lyrics, but not in composition.
In "Nunchaku", Li Hyuk creatively used the erhu in the arrangement, and this song has also been studied by many musicians.
Now, Xue Zhiqian heard a Chinese-style rap that was no less popular than "Lady" and "Nunchaku".
Before entering the chorus, Xue Zhiqian heard a wonderful guzheng solo, which was just like the piano performance in "Nunchaku". It was wanton, uninhibited, and full of imagination.
Xue Zhiqian knew why Li Hyuk was successful. While other singers and musicians were pursuing popularity and marketization, Li Hyuk took a different approach and explored the upper limit of Chinese pop music.
He alone is a kind of popularity...
Previously, Xue Zhiqian was a little unconvinced by Li Hyuk, a singer who became a Little King in just two years after his debut, but now, he is convinced.
Da Mi Mi did not have so many feelings. After all, it was difficult for her to appreciate this type of music. Looking at the beaming Xue Zhiqian, Da Mi Mi didn't know what was so good about "Dragon Fist to the End".
Li Hyuk's rap rhythm was too fast and his words were spoken too quickly, so Da Mi Mi couldn't even hear the lyrics clearly, but he checked with the lyrics book. Although Da Mi Mi didn't like listening to this song, the lyrics of this song,
She still liked it very much.
She doesn’t understand the power of writing lyrics and arranging music, but she can still tell the quality of the lyrics.
No wonder some people say that if Li Hyuk becomes a poet, his grades will be poor. The lyrics he wrote are enough to become a model.
