Chapter 459: It's okay if you don't understand it

When the filming of the scene of "The Embroidery Thief" was completed, Jiang Xia's arm could finally be removed from the plaster. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Removing the plaster does not mean that Jiang Xia's arm is so thorough, and some drastic movements still can't be done, but it is enough for filming.

Jiang Xia's good arm is definitely good news, and after the filming of the "embroidery thief" scene, Jiang Xia finally doesn't have to face those vase beauties with scumbag acting, he is fed up with those people. The actresses I used before were poor and could act, but these few didn't know how to act at all, which made Jiang Xia speechless.

A crew is indispensable to related households, and Jiang Xia does not contradict related households, as long as he acts well, but this kind of related household that can't act at all, Jiang Xia is melancholy. After all, I have withstood this time, and the next scenes must not be found that I can't act at all.

The scene that continues to be filmed is "Phoenix Dance Nine Days", and this one also has a name called "Invisible People", which is mainly about a group of killers, all of whom have their own hidden identities. Lu Xiaofeng went out to sea to play, and was swept up by the wind and waves to an island, the island is full of killers, and many of them have identities on the surface of the rivers and lakes, so they are invisible. The difference between the script and the original book is that in the movie script, "Phoenix Dance for Nine Days" is regarded as a move, while in the original book, Lu Xiaofeng's state is described. This is also something that cannot be helped, in order to reflect the theme, it can only be like this.

Jiang Xia has no role in this play, even if he wants to act, he can't do it, but he is not idle, whenever he has free time, he is thinking about songs there, now it is September, almost October, and there are still a few months until the end of the year, if he doesn't prepare songs, this year's album will have to be hung again.

"Nunchuck" is ready to be put on the album, and for the other songs, Jiang Xia also wanted to use similar songs, but didn't think about the second person, just Jay Chou's, the kind of song that makes you can't hear the lyrics clearly.

Jay Chou's early songs, the arrangement is very powerful, all kinds of cool, all kinds of tricks. When I arrived at the songs, the tunes were good tunes, the lyrics were good lyrics, and the songs were good songs, but the arrangements always felt like they weren't as cool as they were at the beginning, and they lacked edge.

Jiang Xia recalled Jay's early songs in his mind, the most typical is "Nunchuck", and then there is also "Dragon Fist". I remember that when listening to "Dragon Fist", Jiang Xia wore headphones and clearly remembered the lyrics of the second main song "Longing for blood connection, infinite thousands of brothers", one word in the left channel and one word in the right channel, taking turns to pop out.

Compared with "Nunchuck", the song "Dragon Fist" is very good in the prelude, a very typical Chinese style, but it is not a defined palace style Chinese style, just a simple Chinese style. At the beginning, the drum sound sounded very energetic and had a sense of heaviness. The traditional instruments of the whole song are harmoniously matched with Western electronic instruments, and the sense of layering is very rich, not to mention in the early two thousand years, even after ten years, it is absolutely outdated.

Jiang Xia likes the song "Dragon Fist", what he likes is its tune, as for the lyrics or something, when he listens to the song for the first time, the ghost can hear what the lyrics are......

The first time Jay Chou went to the Spring Festival Gala, he sang the song "Dragon Fist", the whole song is to describe the history and geography of China, reflecting the spirit of "dragon", incarnated as a dragon. The last sentence "I am the dragon" is full of heroism.

It is impossible not to put such a song that Jiang Xia likes very much not to put on this album, even if it is a little repetitive with the kung fu style of "Nunchuck", it is still decided to put it on the album.

Now that two songs have been decided, Jiang Xia looked at the two kung fu style songs in the lyric book, and then wrote the third song, the song title "Ninja".

A typical Jay Chou-style song, which does not emphasize chewing words, but focuses on musical charm, and portrays the image of a ninja in the style of oriental music. As a profession unique to island countries, ninjas are known for their mysteries and are synonymous with killers and spies.

Jiang Xia remembered this song because when Jiang Xia listened to this song, he thought that the whole song was sung in Japanese......

I have to admit that Jay Chou's "Ninja" is really the main song, and I can't hear a word clearly. Now Jiang Xia is asking for such a song that people can't hear clearly, so he wrote this song.

When Jiang Xia was writing songs, You Fangfei was watching from the sidelines, although she was not a professional, she could understand something.

"The Dragon Fist two days ago is a proper Chinese style, this song is a proper Oriental style, did you meet a ninja when you were traveling in the island country?" You Fangfei asked.

Jiang Xia said: "What's more, I also saw four turtles. ”

"Four turtles?" You Fangfei looked dazed.

Jiang Xia nodded and said seriously: "Yes, four ninja turtles, one turtle also talked to me, its name is Michelangelo, and it lives in the sewers of New York." They also traveled to island countries, and they stopped by with me and chatted together. ”

"I hear it, you're kidding me. You Fangfei rolled her eyes and said.

Jiang Xia smiled and didn't speak, this is what only he understands, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Donatello The four turtles, but they are all ninjas.

You Fangfei asked: "To be honest, aren't you a Great China ist? Why is there an Oriental style in the song? The lyrics are also in Japanese." ”

"If you have an idea, you can write it, and no matter how the subject is Chinese. Jiangxia said.

"The three songs are all in kung fu style, are you making martial arts movies?" You Fangfei asked again.

Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "It's just a coincidence." ”

In the next song, Jiang Xia wrote "Double Knife" again, and then put the three songs "Nunchuck", "Dragon Fist", and "Double Knife" there, with a toothache.

Jay Chou didn't take so many songs of the same type at once, the three songs belong to three albums, one song a year, all kung fu style songs, and they have inheritance. Jay's album is so diverse, you like love songs, it has love songs, you like fast songs, it has fast songs, you like Chinese style, it has Chinese style, there is always one for you.

At first, Jay Chou's music was not considered so much, but when he really became Jay Chou, for the sake of the market and fan expectations, he had to put a song in each style to balance the taste of fans.

Jiang Xia doesn't have to think about it so much, but he also feels that three kung fu-themed songs are a bit too much to put on the same album.

In the end, Jiang Xia still reluctantly crossed out "Double Knife", compared with the first two songs, this song is obviously not as well-known.

For Jay's songs, Jiang Xia is quite familiar with each one, but others may not be familiar with it, compared to the popular songs in each album, some good songs are buried.

For example, Jiang Xia's next song "Blue Storm" is a song from the album "Chopin in November", compared to the whole album, it is normal not to be famous, and it is impossible to be more popular than songs such as "Nocturne", "Hair Like Snow", "Coral Sea", "All the Way North", "Maple", and "Black Sweater", but if you want to say that this song is bad?

Jay's song has to be listened to, the prelude of this song is the same as the prelude of "Dragon Fist", it is a song that people can like when they listen to the prelude, especially the dialing sound of the phone number, it is like a stroke of genius, and the whole song embellished is extremely bright. Like "Dragon Fist", they both won the Best Arrangement Award.

Although it is a propaganda song of Pepsi, it adds elements of religious chorus, and in the opening prelude, there is the chanting of "Messiah", and various elements of electronic, rock, folk, and classical are organically combined, full of creativity, and I am sorry for myself if I don't take it out.

Jiang Xia chose songs this time, but he didn't choose those well-known songs, fast songs, and didn't release "Nocturne", such a song can instantly overshadow other songs. He chose some songs that were not very popular, and they were also relatively early, and then some songs in Jay's middle period. In the whole album, there is a song "Nunchuck" to press the formation, which is enough.

Thinking of "Nunchuck", Jiang Xia remembered that there was Hakka dialect in it, and then Jiang Xia thought of another song by Jay, "The Train Goes to the Place".

As a guy who studied dialects for a period of time last year, Jiang Xia also wanted to show off his new skills, so he took out this song. Anyway, this is a song that you don't need to understand the lyrics at all to feel good. For the lyric party, not understanding the lyrics is torment, and for Jiang Xia, the overall feeling of a song trumps everything.

"Nunchuck", "Dragon Fist", "Ninja", "Blue Storm", "Train Talk", after the five songs were determined, Jiang Xia suddenly felt that the core of them did not seem to be enough, the songs had no power, and the emotions conveyed were insufficient. So, Jiang Xia next set his sights on some of Jay's core songs.

The first thing Jiang Xia thought of was "The Last Battle", and I have to say that in the album "Octave Space", Jay Chou's rhythm songs are the most and the most impressive to Jiang Xia.

Let's just say that Jiang Xia's current song selection, "Dragon Fist", "The Last Battle", and "The Train Goes to the Place" are all from "Octave Space", and even Jiang Xia intends to take out "The Little Blacksmith of Milan", as for songs like "Half Orc", Jiang Xia didn't put them in, he was too familiar.

Compared with the album of "Fantesi", which established Jay's status, "Octave Space" can be regarded as a perfect inheritance and a smooth transition.

In the "Fantesi" album, Jiang Xia chose two songs, "Nunchuck" and "Ninja", and when he was on his first album, he also chose the songs "Can't Open Your Mouth" and "Quiet".

The reason why "Octave Space" is a transition is because the two albums before and after are too dazzling, the former album is called "Fantesi", and the latter album is called "Ye Huimei", if nothing else, just saying "East Wind Breaking" is enough to raise Jay's status to another level.

The song "The Last Battle" seems to be about war, but in fact, Jay wants to express anti-war. To write about the cruelty of war to oppose the war, when filming the MV, filming in Thailand, the Thai ** side dispatched real planes and tanks to cooperate with the shooting, and it took seven days to shoot, and the scene in the MV was really exciting.

Another song, Jiang Xia is "Coward", from the "Ye Huimei" album. The theme of the song is anti-drugs. In the lyrics, "the half bag from his hand" and "remind yourself that you should start to be sensible and not be controlled by soft drugs" are very clear, which refers to drugs, and the whole song expresses that saying no to drugs does not mean that you are a coward.

Jay's songs cover a wide range of topics, anti-war, anti-drugs, inspirational, and of course, environmental protection.

is also from the "Ye Huimei" album, Jiang Xia chose another song "Terraces", this song is about environmental changes, changes over the years, and the lyrics "Can you only use a camera to record nature, take it to the next generation and the next generation to reminisce, poor and sad, the forest and green space have become a documentary" is calling for environmental protection.

It's just that Jiang Xia can't completely copy this song, the first two sentences of the song, "Wenshan, when you finish writing the lyrics, I'll release the next album, it's okay to take your time, I'll do this song myself" is completely fun for Fang Wenshan. Jay Chou can make fun of Fang Wenshan, but Jiang Xia has no one to joke, so he can only delete this lyric, and even the prelude has to be changed slightly, one less beat, so that it can be perfectly connected with the back.

Such three songs, "The Last Battle", "Coward", and "Terraces", even if they support the core of the whole song, as for whether others can hear the core that Jiang Xia wants to express in the song, it is not something he can control, in the title of the album, Jiang Xia has already thought about it, it is called "It Doesn't Matter if I Don't Understand".

The name of the album was originally a song by Lin Junjie, which expresses that it doesn't matter if you understand it or not, as long as the music moves you. Jiang Xia's meaning is similar, most of the ten songs that are about to come out are not the most popular in his previous life, if he can understand the meaning he wants to express, then he understands it, if he doesn't understand it, just listening to the music itself will make it worth the ticket price.

The eight songs are confirmed, and the core can hold up, so for the last two songs, Jiang Xia can continue to be a little willful. Looking at the eight songs, there are not many that are really well-known, Jiang Xia considered whether to add some well-known songs, and inspirational songs.

"Daoxiang" is absolutely suitable, but after thinking about it, Jiang Xia shook his head, the last of the eight songs to be produced is still "Blue Storm", from "Chopin in November", he doesn't want to take it further, he just wants to choose two songs that he likes very much in the first few albums, which are considered unpopular songs in Jay's songs.

Well-known songs are not taken out, because Jiang Xia firmly believes that those songs can be popular whenever they are taken out, but these songs, many of them were not very popular in the previous life, taking advantage of the fact that his current album has attracted a lot of attention, it is better to take it out and see the situation, if it can be popular, it can be regarded as making up for a small regret in the previous life.

So the last two songs, Jiang Xia still chose the unpopular ones, or took out "The Little Blacksmith of Milan", a song in the style of Eastern European music, as if telling a fairy tale, where a little blacksmith is busy working there in order to buy a guitar, and starts working at dawn, just to realize his dream.

As for the last song, Jiang Xia was indeed a little hesitant, not knowing which song of which album to choose, there were too many choices, but it was not easy to choose.

waited until the filming of "Phoenix Dance Nine Days" was completed, and Jiang Xia decided on the last song. (To be continued.) )
