Chapter 97: The hot discussion caused by the launch of 'Swallows Returning to the Nest'
Chapter 97 The hot discussion caused by the launch of "Swallow Returns to the Nest"
"Chinese Popular Index" quickly published this interview. There were a lot of technical terms that fans couldn't understand, but fans who had studied a little bit of music could understand a little bit.
At the same time, "Chinese Popularity Index" also released a video version of the interview on its official website, which is no different from the magazine.
But one thing caught the attention of netizens, and that was Li Hyuk's two demonstrations of fuzzy singing.
"If nothing else, from Li Hyuk's comparison, it turns out that some songs are better handled this way."
"I think the singing in the back sounds like a younger brother. Is it my imagination?"
"It's not an illusion, it's just the feeling of dirty brother Wang."
"Haha, I really want to see my brother and Li Hyuk on the same stage. It will be very interesting."
"I don't care about anything else. I just want to listen to the full version of Black Sweater, please go online as soon as possible."
"Same request plus 1..."
"Same request plus 2..."
"Add 10086 for the same request..."
Because of this interview, the number of visits to the official website of "Chinese Popularity Index" surged, and many fans just wanted to see the black sweater section.
The editor-in-chief of the magazine was overjoyed. During the meeting, he praised Yu Shuang in public: "Xiao Yu, you did a good job this time. Your bonus will be doubled next month."
"Thank you, editor-in-chief. Actually, I think we can do another interview about Li He," Yu Shuang suggested.
"Tell me……"
Yu Shuang explained: “In this issue, we learned about Li Hyuk’s growth and his musical philosophy.
Then in the next issue, we can focus on him as a person, what kind of person is he in life? Besides music, what else does he usually do, etc."
"This is a good idea. Now everyone is paying a lot of attention to Li Hyuk. Not only do they want to know more about his music, but also about him as a person." The editor-in-chief thought it was reasonable and made an arrangement: "In this way, your team will contact you again, and then
Arrange an interview."
"Okay editor..." Yu Shuang responded.
During the publication of the magazine, the sixth issue of the third season of "I Am a Singer" will continue to be broadcast. The replacement singer for this issue is Zheng Yuanheng, the king of stick songs.
The program team paid a heavy price to invite Zheng Yuanheng.
By this time, the program group's singer resources had been somewhat exhausted. The reason was simple: many big-name singers were unwilling to come.
For example, at the beginning of the third season, Hong Tao invited the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong, Brother Hua Jian, and Doctor Chen, but none of them came.
Moreover, the song selection is a bit exhausted. There are only so many good songs in the Chinese music scene. Over the past few seasons, I have sung all the songs that can be sung. English songs cannot be sung all the time.
So Hong Tao racked his brains and asked foreign singers to come and participate in the show. Finally, after communication, he invited Zheng Yuanheng, the singing king of Bangzi version of "I Am a Singer", to come over.
Li He is the host of this episode. Although he usually looks down on Bangzi, in terms of strength, he still has some.
The arrival of Zheng Yuanheng has completely intensified the competition in the show. In this qualifying round, Zhang Liangying ranked seventh and will face elimination in the next round.
After the show was aired, the ratings of "I Am a Singer" were still around 1.8, ranking first in the same period, and extremely stable.
However, the show was not without its surprises. Sun Nan was a little dissatisfied with the show crew for inviting a stick singer, and complained to Han Hong in private.
Sun Nan even had the idea of retiring from the competition...
Hong Tao approached Li He privately and wanted to ask him to continue composing new songs, but Li He refused on the grounds of preparing a new album.
My best songs are used on albums. One song "Only" is enough. When I reach the semi-finals, I will consider coming up with original songs.
However, just because Lee Hyuk doesn't release new songs, it doesn't mean that there are no works published about him.
On February 21, Xu Song's new album "Youth Evening News" released the title song "Swallow Returns to the Nest", which was officially released online.
Since Li He and Xu Song jointly proposed the concept of Chinese style, many musicians have been exploring how to create this type of music.
Now, "Swallow Returns to the Nest" composed and sung by Xu Song and written by Li He is online, showing everyone the correct way to write Chinese style.
Many musicians immediately get a feel for it as soon as they listen to it.
It turns out that this is what Chinese style looks like!
Similarly, fans are also looking forward to this song, a collaboration between Xu Song and Li Hyuk. It has finally appeared after many requests. Everyone wants to see what the so-called Chinese style song is like.
Since "The Older and More Lonely", Fang Xiangxiang has been paying close attention to Li Hyuk.
As mentioned before, she is a lover of ancient style, and her home also collects many ancient style records, as well as Hanfu and other things.
Fang Xiangxiang is also looking forward to the new song that Xu Song and Li He will collaborate on this time. Compared with composing music, Fang Xiangxiang pays more attention to lyrics. Because Fang Xiangxiang believes that the artistic conception of lyrics is more important than music.
Like last time for "Lady", the lyrics were as wonderful as they were imaginative, and the artistic conception was also very good, but Fang Xiangxiang thought that Li He ruined the song.
Open QQ Music, click "Swallow Returns to the Nest" and select to play. Fang Xiangxiang's ears heard the melodious morinouqin. Xu Song's composition level is still so high.
Then, after a small prelude of the morinouqin, Xu Song's melodious singing sounded, and Fang Xiangxiang felt his ears suddenly light up.
"After the rain, dawn breaks on the river bank. How many new passengers do you know from an old boat?"
In the distant mountains, you can see bamboo forests and fragrant grass, and the morning breeze touches the green plantains."
As soon as these lyrics came out, I immediately felt like I had reached a new level. Fang Xiangxiang, who was usually very eloquent, had only one feeling: Damn it, this is poetry!
However, she was too happy too early, and the subsequent lyrics were more beautiful than she imagined.
Especially that sentence: Willow leaves splashing on the waves of peach blossoms, and cranes in Tingzhou looking into the distance completely captured Fang Xiangxiang's heart.
After listening to the entire song, Fang Xiangxiang felt that the lyrics of this song alone were very beautiful when read aloud.
Fang Xiangxiang couldn't wait to share this song and its lyrics with the group of ancient style lovers, and the ancient style lovers in the group had already become excited because of this song.
Fang Xiangxiang is not the only one who thinks the song is beautiful and the lyrics are beautiful. After listening to this song, the audience and fans feel as if they have listened to a heart-stirring story about a homesick wanderer and feel the beauty of the lyrics.
In fact, this is not the first time that everyone has felt the beauty of lyrics. But before, everyone paid more attention to the melody of the music and whether the singing was beautiful, while few fans paid attention to the lyrics.
But thanks to the Chinese trend set off by "Swallow Returns to the Nest", Li Hyuk's lyrics that he wrote before were noticed by the majority of netizens. Only then did everyone realize that there was something that everyone had subconsciously ignored before.
That is, Li Hyuk originally wrote his own lyrics, composed his own music, arranged his own music, and was also his own producer.
Damn this pervert, aren't young people these days so young and energetic? Don't you leave any way for others to survive?
"I just noticed that I always thought "Lady" was weird and nice, but I couldn't understand what Li Hyuk was singing. Now, look at it, damn, the lyrics are really awesome."
"You just released it. I used the lyrics of "Lady" in my composition and it was read as a composition model."
"Now everyone has a new life. "Swallows Returning to the Nest" can also be used in compositions. It is so well written."
"The melodious sound of Morin fiddle at the beginning has already attracted me. Adding Pipa in the middle is invincible. The artistic conception is so perfect."
"Xu Song is invincible when it comes to matching Li Hyuk's lyrics. If Li Hyuk had sung the lyrics himself, it wouldn't have the same feeling as "Lady"!"
"When you said that, I couldn't help but start to tremble. I'm looking forward to it."
Netizens were full of praise, as were industry leaders.
A professor at the Central Conservatory of Music, after the publication of "Swallows Return to the Nest", held an open class on lyrics appreciation on Station B, in which "Swallows Return to the Nest" was highlighted.
""Swallow Returns to the Nest", let alone the composition technique, in terms of lyrics alone, it is already at the highest level of ancient style. Of course, they call it Chinese style.
So this type of lyrics can no longer be called lyrics, but can be called modern poetry. Even if Li Hyuk does not become a singer, he is a genius as a poet.
I am very fortunate that such a genius can still appear in the current Chinese music scene. It is the luck of the listeners in our era."
The professor's evaluation is not low, and it is true that the songs are beautiful.
So "Swallows Return to the Nest" also joined the battle for the top spot, competing with "The Older and More Lonely" and "Thinking Out Loud" to compete for the top spot on various charts such as hot songs and new songs.
