"Is the song you sang just now a Chinese style?" Lu Yu asked.
I came to the show to promote the new album, so naturally I had to ask some questions related to the new album.
Li He nodded and said: "Yes, this is based on the traditional pentatonic composition, using words with ancient rhymes as lyrics."
"Then let's see, usually the Chinese style lyrics you write are very beautiful. Do you usually specialize in this area?"
"I love Tang poetry and Song lyrics very much, and the lines and phrases in them often fascinate me. When I came into contact with pop music, I wondered if I could combine these beautiful words and phrases with pop music."
"So the Chinese style was born?"
"Chinese style is actually not my original creation. Before me, there were my brother's "Last Night in the Small Building and the East Wind" and Deng Lijun's "When Will the Bright Moon Come", which are all very popular Chinese style songs."
Li Hyuk did not take credit for establishing Hua Xia Feng on himself, but gave examples of other singers.
After chatting about Chinese style, the topic turned to Li He’s growth experience.
"We all know that you started practicing piano when you were very young."
"Yes, when I was about four years old, my family bought me my first piano."
Lu Yu then asked: "When you were learning piano, did you ever feel bored?"
Li He smiled and replied: "Actually, most of the time, I feel very boring, especially when I watch other people's children playing happily on the playground, but I can only play the piano and memorize ABC at home, which is very boring.
pain."
"Isn't music your hobby?"
Li He said helplessly: "It's a hobby, but when this hobby becomes a daily practice, it will feel very painful."
"Do you have any thoughts of giving up? Tell mom you won't practice anymore."
"Yes, of course, but I persisted in the end. The happiest time for me was when I was in elementary school, performing in the class and receiving admiring looks from many friends. At that time, I felt that studying music was worthwhile." Li
He smiled.
"We also know that you wrote your first song when you were fourteen, and it was called "Still", right?"
"Yes, I performed at that time. At that time, my father said that a fourteen-year-old child knew what songwriting was, but he was shocked after listening to it. He couldn't accept this kind of punk rock style.
"Li He replied.
After chatting about some growth experiences, Lu Yu then asked Li Hyuk: "In addition to the support of your parents in your music career, who else has a great influence on you."
"Well..." Li He pondered for a moment before replying: "There are many recognitions from fans and classmates, which constantly give me confidence. It turns out that some people appreciate my music.
There are also seniors in the pop music industry, Michael Jackson, Avril Lavigne, and Snow Friends, who have a great influence on me. The first pop music album I listened to was "Kiss Goodbye."
"Only by gathering the strengths of many families can we become a music master." Lu Yu said with a smile.
Li He waved his hand and said, "I don't think I should take it seriously. I'm far from being a master. It's just that some fans like my music, and that's enough."
"Speaking of your music, I believe many people have also mentioned the problem with your singing voice. Is this vague singing style intentional on your part?" Lu Yu asked a very pointed question.
"This is indeed worth thinking about. In fact, many of my singing are very clear, but it makes no sense for everyone to judge that my singing is unclear after listening to one or two songs." Li He said seriously:
"Sometimes, I do it this way on purpose. Some songs are sung clearly when they should be sung clearly, and blurry when they should be sung. That's right."
"Then you are not afraid of being criticized?"
"I'm not afraid," Li He shook his head and said, "When I make pop music, I create popular music, not follow it. In fact, there are not as many good songs as before. It's because I'm stuck in a series of what do you sing and what do you think others sing?
There are weird discussions about what is popular now.
Then musicians lost themselves, believed in Internet big data, and listened to the opinions of decision-makers.
Our research has found that the simpler the songs and the more brainwashed the songs are, the more potential they have to become popular. But most of these songs are actually of little nutrition."
Li Hyuk's speech can be said to criticize the current situation of the music industry, which is very bold.
Lu Yu asked worriedly: "You said that, aren't you afraid that others will say something about you?"
Li Hyuk was not worried: "If one day, someone can become the king of Asia and appear on the Grammy stage by singing lip songs, then come and discuss the artistry of pop music with me."
Crazy, Li Hyuk, who just celebrated his 24th birthday, is crazy.
Yes, why do I have to make such good achievements and still be criticized by you people who don’t even understand music? If I change my style according to the ideas of you trolls, then that’s me Li Hyuk
the end of.
Now that the question reached this point, Lu Yu let go and started asking about Li Hyuk's grudges with the Golden Melody Awards.
Li Hyuk also bluntly said: "Actually, I have known for a long time that the Golden Melody Awards are not just the Golden Melody Awards, but there are very complicated things behind them. We have been advocating the de-ZZization, but whether it is the Golden Melody Awards or the Golden Horse Awards, ZZ has never left.
.
Under such circumstances, the award is not only determined by whether your music is good or not, but whether you are correct or not. This is really nonsense, so I am unhappy with the Golden Melody Award.
If Chinese music has to be judged by awards like this, I would rather never win."
Lu Yu was a little surprised: "Can this episode be broadcast?"
"I don't know, I watch your TV station." Li He laughed.
After the recording of the program ended, Li Hyuk accepted Lu Yu's invitation and had a TV station staff meal together.
"There are chicken legs, not bad." Li He gnawed on the chicken legs.
Lu Yu smiled and said: "I have discussed it with the director and your Golden Melody Award incident can be broadcast, no problem."
"That's good. In fact, when I had the fiercest argument with the Golden Melody Awards, my speech was bolder than what I said on the show." Li Hyuk nodded.
"If you offend the Golden Melody Award, won't you be unable to participate in the Golden Melody Award in the future and won't win the award?"
Li He shrugged nonchalantly and said: "Actually, Chinese pop music has been stagnant for more than ten years, and the Golden Melody Awards will be blamed for the random selection. Good musicians don't get commendations, but bad musicians who just sit around and make bad music get many awards.
The collapse of the award and evaluation system is an important reason for the decline of the Chinese music scene."
Lu Yu nodded, convinced that as an insider, Li He could indeed see it more clearly.
But as Li Hyuk himself said in the show, he is just a musician and a singer. His personal strength cannot cover up the overall decline. If the market environment does not change, even if Li Hyuk becomes a world-class king, it will not save the Chinese music scene.
.
After finishing the meal, Li He left.
Lu Yu's interview program ended, and then she went to the main station to record "Let's Talk".
"Let's Talk" is a TV open class program of the main station. Many scientists, educators, corporate celebrities, and star actors have appeared on the program.
Of course, it also left a lot of jokes, such as Da Ma’s sentence: I don’t care about money. I have never encountered money in my whole life...
The program team of "Let's Talk" has always hoped that Li Hyuk can appear on the show. They have been inviting Li Hyuk since last year. This time Li Hyuk is finally free to appear on the show.
