"Of course I don't mean to disparage this song. As you said, this song was created by me. I composed it myself, how can I disparage it? I just want to analyze the connotation of this song for you. This song
The content is not very deep, but it cannot be said that this song is not good. Many classic songs do not have very deep meanings, and many classic songs are love songs. Now it seems that the lyrics are very simple, but it is a success.
A classic.”
Chen Feng could only explain it this way. After a pause, he continued: "Compared to those classic songs with extremely plain lyrics, this song "Love The Way You Lie" at least has some content in the lyrics.
.Especially the rap part, there are many lyrics, and it is full of sincerity. And it is destined to become a phenomenal song. And this song is the trump card I have prepared for you. As long as we record this song well
, you will be completely invincible in your competition with Beyoncé. In other words, no matter whether your new album sales ultimately lose to hers, or even whether your albums and songs can compete with her on the charts.
If you fall in love with her and have this song, you will have completely established your position as the queen of songs in the music world."
Tina was stunned by Chen Feng's words and said with some suspicion: "I know this song is very good, but is it really as exaggerated as you said? I feel it should be on the level of "Little Umbrella".
Is this song more popular than "Little Umbrella"?"
Tina has now released an album, with a total of more than a dozen songs, but the most popular song is "Little Umbrella". It seems that this song has become her peak, her peak since her debut. It looks good, but the result
If you want to surpass it, it is really difficult.
Although this song "Love the Way You Lie" is also very good and Tina likes it better, she still doesn't believe it if this song can surpass the height of "Little Umbrella".
"Of course." Chen Feng gave her a clear answer in the affirmative, "This song is my improvement of hip-hop music, adding a relatively strong pop factor and commercial flavor. It can be said to be a kind of improvement of hip-hop music.
Subversion. In the past, hip-hop and rap were just a kind of underground music and could not be brought to the stage, at least in most other countries and regions around the world. There is also a market here in the United States. But this song came out
After that, I believe that hip-hop music will begin to become popular all over the world. By then, you and I will be the pioneers of this trend. Think about it, what will your status in the music world be like by then?"
Leading a music trend, and also on a global scale, such an achievement, Tina could not imagine.
In fact, she is quite satisfied with the achievements she has made so far. Although she also hopes to make a breakthrough on her own, she still wants to continue to maintain her current popular status and lead a music trend.
She had never thought about it before.
Because she didn't have this ability at all before.
But now Chen Feng told her that she could do this. Tina's first reaction was that it was impossible and that Chen Feng was bragging. Her second reaction was, is this true? Can it really be done?
This question comes with some expectations.
After all, Chen Feng is now recognized as the godfather of music. He single-handedly made himself, Tiffany and Blainey famous, and indirectly made Beyoncé famous when she started her solo career. Therefore, if he said that this song can lead the world trend, it may be true.
can do it.
"Boss, are you serious?" Tina looked at Chen Feng seriously.
"Of course. Very serious." Chen Feng also spoke to her seriously, "Anyway, I am confident. So, I also hope you are confident. No matter what, we have to give it a try. Anyway, for you
There is no loss. If it succeeds, the benefits to you will be considerable."
"Okay. Let's try hard together. Maybe we can make it work." After saying that, Tina asked worriedly, "But is your rap really okay?"
Chen Feng was not angry, he smiled confidently and said: "If there is any problem, you will know after you try it."
"Okay." Tina smiled.
The recording of "Love the Way You Lie" has officially started. Chen Feng had already taken the time to complete the arrangement part, especially the background rhythm and drum beats of the rap part. Chen Feng spent an afternoon on it. Now for the live recording, all you have to do is call in
A professional sound engineer hired by the company will do.
The beginning part is Tina's singing part, her voice is relatively high, and the starting key is very high. If she is a singer with average singing skills, her voice may break as soon as she opens her voice.
Tina didn't have this worry, and she felt great as soon as she opened her voice.
Tina's singing part ended and Chen Feng's rap officially began.
"I 't tell you what it really is
I ly tell you what it feels like”
Chen Feng responded to the background beat. As soon as Chen Feng opened his mouth, he had that authentic rap feeling, with clear enunciation and precise rhythm. This surprised Tina. She still remembered very clearly when she was recording
In "Little Umbrella", Chen Feng was responsible for the rap part and his singing was very bad.
At that time, she was just a newcomer and had no courage to object. Therefore, even though she was complaining in her heart at the time, she did not dare to ask Chen to sing for someone else.
Sure enough, after the single "Little Umbrella" came out, although it became popular and received almost unanimous praise, some people also criticized the rap part of the song, saying that it sounded like a shi. Although later this
The criticism gradually faded away, but Tina remembered it very clearly.
But now Chen Feng's rap makes Tina suspect that Chen Feng has changed someone. But of course this situation is impossible. Therefore, it can only be that after "Little Umbrella", Chen Feng learned his shame and became brave, and studied hard secretly
Rap, I finally have the skills I have now.
This made Tina feel very amazing. Yes, it can only be described as amazing.
You must know that Tina is a black person. She has lived in a black ghetto since she was a child. She has been exposed to and received black culture, the most important of which is black hip-hop culture.
When it comes to what music black people value most, there is no doubt that it is hip-hop music, not rock or jazz. What they love most is hip-hop and rap.
Tina has been influenced by this music culture since she was a child. Even though she is not a Korean girl, she is still influenced to some extent in her bones, and she has a natural love and intuition for hip-hop and rap.
She could tell that Chen Feng sang this part really well. So when it was time for her to sing, she suddenly forgot the words. So, the recording could only be temporarily canceled.
Chen Feng made a pause gesture through the glass window. He paused the recording, took off the headset on his head, and waved to Tina.
"Sorry, boss, I was a little surprised by your rap just now. I suddenly forgot the lyrics."
Tina came over and apologized proactively.
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "It's not that. It's just that I found that you were not invested in your singing at the beginning. The investment I am talking about is emotional investment. In the final analysis, you have no personal experience with the feelings you want to express in this song.
I’ve experienced it.”
Tina had to admit and nodded after hearing this: "Yes, boss, I have not experienced the kind of love-hate, love-and-kill emotions expressed in this song. Although I can understand it, I have not experienced it personally.
However, it is really difficult to sing emotionally."
Chen Feng had no choice but to say: "You have to remember that you are a singer. A professional. Just like those professional actors, when they play movie roles, they do not necessarily have to have personally experienced what the characters have experienced. In the end, they can
Act your character well, and even win an Oscar. As a singer, in the same way, you can use your own singing voice to interpret the emotion expressed in the song. You have to put it in, and you have to imagine that you are the lyrics in the song.
That person. She loved her boyfriend very much, and her boyfriend was very kind to her at first, but slowly he began to alienate from her, and he came back later and later. The two began to quarrel, and even had a big fight.
They fight. But both of them know that they still love each other and cannot live without each other. You have to devote yourself as much as possible and sing out this entangled feeling of deep love, helplessness, and resentment."
Tina nodded seriously: "I remember it. I will try my best to put it in."
Chen Feng then said with some satisfaction: "The part you are responsible for is expressed in this way. However, you also need to understand the part of the emotional expression that I am responsible for. After all, our song is a chorus song, and it must be fully integrated into it.
"
Speaking of this, Chen Feng paused for a moment and then analyzed it for Tina: "The male voice part I am responsible for expresses the feeling of drifting away from the person you love, but you want to keep them but don't know how to say it, and you don't know what to say."
Conflicting feelings about what to do. I once swore to protect her for the rest of my life, but the estrangement became deeper and deeper, the misunderstandings became more and more serious, and the inadvertent wounds opened wider and wider. The two of them were like the eye of a typhoon encountering a volcanic eruption.
We have to fight it out. Even if we want to apologize in the end, both of us know that it is just a true lie. Do you understand?"
"I understand, boss. Your analysis is very detailed. If I don't understand, I would be a fool." Tina said seriously, "Boss, you are a genius. You can write such a good song, and you rapped really well just now.
Very good, very powerful. I feel that your level is not much better than those of the hip-hop kings."
After hearing what she said, Chen Feng smiled proudly, but he was not being modest at all. Because that was the fact. He was now not only proficient in all musical instruments, but also proficient in singing and English. Of course, rapping was a piece of cake.
"As long as you are satisfied. Next, just understand and embody the situation according to what I said, and get involved in the entangled emotions. If there is no problem, let's do it a second time."
Tina took a deep breath, nodded and said, "No problem, let's do it a second time."
Seeing this, Chen Feng gestured toward the glass window, put on the headset again, and started recording for the second time.
There is nothing wrong with Chen Feng's rapping, but what's more important is Tina's singing of the chorus and the coordination between the two.
The effect of the second time was much better than the first time, but Chen Feng was obviously still a little dissatisfied after listening to it.
So, the two recorded ten times in the studio at once. Only two versions of them were satisfactory to Chen Feng. If it were other songs, Chen Feng might have chosen one of them to finish. But this song was very important to Chen Feng.
, not only is this song the killer song of Tina's new album, but also because this song is Chen Feng's official debut song in the United States.
Previously, his rap role in "Little Umbrella" was completely a soy sauce role, with no sense of existence at all. Not to mention making a debut. Of course, it does not count.
Only this song "Love the Way You Lie" is a song that truly belongs to Chen Feng. Because really speaking, this song is actually Chen Feng's song, not Tina's. Because Tina is only responsible for the chorus part
, the rap sung by Chen Feng is the main song part.
Of course, this song was to be released on Tina's album first. If you really want to count it, it must be her song.
And some people who are not interested in hip-hop and rap even think that this is Tina's song. Because although the rap is a long section, it is not as good as the chorus. Moreover, they all think that the part of the song that Tina sings is the only one.
It's the verse, and the rap is the chorus.
It's very simple. Before hip-hop music became popular and popular, most people thought so.
Can a monk chanting sutras like a song be called a song?
After recording ten times, Chen Feng had no problem, but Tina's voice was a little overwhelmed, and her condition began to decline, so Chen Feng stopped today's recording work.
In the next few days, Chen Feng and Tina concentrated on recording songs in the company, and on the 19th, all the songs for her new album were recorded. The next step was the issue of production and distribution.
Beyoncé had finished recording the new album ten days ago and officially announced that it would be released on February 28th.
Originally, Tina's intention was to release it on the same day as Beyoncé, but Chen Feng felt that this was too direct. After all, the two of them were not real enemies. At least they were still friends on the surface in private.
This is not only because they have a common friend Miranda, but also because of Chen Feng, the "middleman." The relationship between Beyoncé and Chen Feng is even more special. Since Chen Feng doesn't want her to break up with Tina, she certainly won't do it because of it.
Chen Feng was offended. Besides, she really had no intention of breaking up with Tina in the first place.
She is just too career-oriented and wants to defeat Tina once and then successfully rise to the top. Although this may seem a bit unethical at first, the reality in the entertainment industry is like this. If you don’t step on others to rise to the top, then you will always have to succumb to others.
under.
And because of the bosses Miranda and Chen Feng, Tina will not break up with Beyoncé.
Therefore, Tina's new album "Love and Hate" is scheduled to be released on February 29.
It seems that they are not directly in contact with Beyoncé, but they are only one day apart, and they still seem to be full of gunpowder.
However, this was expected by everyone. After all, Beyoncé had previously "provoked" and Tina publicly accepted the challenge. Even though Beyoncé later said it was just a joke, others must take this kind of joke seriously.
If Tina shrinks back, then even if she doesn't give up her throne as the queen of songs, she will still look a head shorter than Beyoncé. This is not what Tina wants to see.
