Chapter 163: Producer
The famous scumbag, Xue Zhiqian once said: "If a singer wants to be popular, he must connect two popular songs, and then he will become popular!"
No evaluation.
But to put it mildly, Xue Zhiqian's music is written well except for the lyrics, and the music part is simply the same, in Hua Chenyu's words, "You need to strengthen your learning in arrangement..."
Of course, he was commenting on Mao Buyi...
Gao Xiaosong said that the Han people have always attached importance to literati and not much to music, and at first many people refuted on the Internet, saying that "how many musical works have we left in ancient times that have been passed down to the present, "Mountains and Flowing Water", "Ambush on All Sides", "Overture to the Little Knife Society"...'
Just one question, have you ever heard of "Mountains and Flowing Water"?
As for "Ambush on All Sides" and "Knife Club Overture", if it weren't for the movie interlude, do you think this thing would be popular?
'I listened to U2 before I was 20 years old, and I didn't know what was good, but after I learned the pronunciation, I thought The Edge was amazing!'
European and American pop music, especially orchestras, are often guitarists who are the most famous and can be called the soul of orchestras...
They pay more attention to the melody of the music than to the lyrics.
On the contrary, most of the songs that become popular are well-written lyrics and melodies, or simply find a song that has already been done and put it in...
In 2017, a song "Dispel Sorrow" that suddenly became popular, let's not talk about the lyrics, but its arrangement is obviously the way of the 90s, what is the difference between it and "Birch Forest"?
There are exceptions, Lin Junjie's "Cao Cao", Nima, the lyrics are written like a piece of!
Hip-hop music has been very popular lately, and a lot of people have been calling and saying, 'It's amazing to sing hip-hop, and the lyrics rhyme...'
Damn, which pop song doesn't rhyme with lyrics?
We even need to rhyme when writing a poem!
Speaking of "Flammable and Explosive", this song is Chen Li's work, Chen Li was originally a very niche folk singer, probably because in recent years, she really can't find a new singer, Chen Li has slowly become famous, and this "Flammable and Explosive" became popular because of Hua Chenyu's cover of it.
The lyrics, of course, are very good, if a singer from a folk background can't even write the lyrics, then she doesn't have to mix!
The melody isn't bad either.
The whole song is like, 'What else do you want from me...'
With Liu Yifei's prosperous beauty, I always feel that it is very suitable.
β¦β¦
"Ahem..."
Liu Yifei is sitting in the producer's position, which is where Xu Hui will sit later.
I don't know the rules!
If in Korea, the singer takes the position of producer in the recording studio, you can fuck off!
It's not just disrespectful to the producer, it's even an insult to the music!
Of course, let's be a little more casual, and the relationship between Xu Hui and Liu Yifei, well, very pure meat to meat exchanges...
So, she didn't care so much, but there were other staff in the recording room, and her approach was a bit unprofessional.
"Xu Hui, you're here!"
Liu Yifei heard the cough and hurriedly raised his head with a long-awaited smile on his face.
ββ¦ How's the preparation going?"
As soon as he saw Liu Yifei's face, Xu Hui couldn't bear to say anything, while making excuses in his heart, 'She is not a professional singer, she can understand if she doesn't understand these rules...'
Hey, amorous hatred since ancient times...
"I'm a little worried that I won't be able to sing..."
Liu Yifei looked at Xu Hui with a bitter face.
Liu Yifei still has a very clear understanding of his singing level, a typical KTV singer, can't sing high notes, can't sing low notes...
"It's okay, you sing first, we can fix the sound later..."
It seems that the girl still knows her strength very well.
"A carat of tears
Fall on my smile
Gone love quietly like your prank..."
Xu Hui is not too worried, with powerful post-audio technology, even if Liu Yifei is a music idiot, he can ensure that this "Flammable and Explosive" can reach the level of the god of songs!
He didn't expect his sister to sing very well.
In order to ensure that the sound is not broken, Cannon Hui even thoughtfully lowered the pitch of the whole song by half a key...
"Then I'm in..."
Liu Yifei walked into the audition room with the score, Xu Hui put on headphones and listened to her sing.
β¦β¦
According to the request of producer Xu Hui, Liu Yifei sang it first.
How to say it, as Xu Hui expected before, the treble can't go up, but she has worked hard, and through the glass window, you can clearly see that her neck is a little red...
"No, are you?"
"Hmm..."
"So, let's sing the first stanza first, and the chorus part... I'll find a few to help you sing the harmony!"
People have worked hard, and Xu Hui can't say anything.
You can't let her slap herself!
ββIn the early 90s, a Taiwanese producer came to the mainland to make an album for the singer, and he said that if he couldn't sing the high notes, he would slap himself, obviously this is the producer's own bad taste, and no science can show that slapping can instantly enhance the vocal range!
Xu Hui has not helped others record songs before, including his own EP, and the producers he invited are Gao Xiaosong.
This is his first time as a music producer!
"Harmony?"
Liu Yifei was a little dissatisfied.
She loved the song so much that she felt she sang it out of her heart.
"Can't you lower the key?"
It was Liu Xiaoli who spoke, and she learned that Xu Hui wrote a song for her daughter, and she was very vigilant - the attraction of talents to little girls is really high!
Later, after knowing that it was to promote the movie "My Little Black Dress", I was a little relieved.
However, she decided to follow her daughter so that she would not be bullied.
At this time, when she heard that Xu Hui was looking for someone to sing harmony, she felt that she had to stand up.
ββ¦ It can't go down any more, if it goes down again, the song will be over, it's not explosive at all, how can it be 'flammable and explosive'"
Xu Hui directly refused.
After explaining, he turned his head and instructed the little assistant: "Mu Hua, you go to the Conservatory of Music to find a few girls who can help people sing harmony, the sooner the better." β
ββ¦ Didn't you just say that you could fix the sound later?"
"Yes, you can fix the sound later, but are you sure you don't even try to do the work, just fix the sound?"
ββ¦ I'd better ask Sissi's opinion on this!"
Liu Xiaoli pushed open the door of the audition room and communicated with her daughter.
To be honest, Xu Hui was a little speechless.
The producer is him, not Liu Yifei, and when he asked Liu Yifei's opinion, she remembered it!
With such a mother, it is no wonder that the immortals of later generations can paste all the way from the top Xiaohuadan to the third line...
"She said she wanted to give it a try..."
After coming out of the audition room, Liu Xiaoli's face was not very good-looking.
Liu Yifei didn't follow her advice...
It is said that Liu Yifei has become more and more difficult to control recently, and the drama "My Little Black Dress" should not be accepted according to Liu Xiaoli's intentions, but she not only accepted it, but also followed the director's intention and appeared without makeup!
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoli glanced at Xu Hui, who was communicating with Liu Yifei through the headset.
All of this happened after getting to know Pao Hui...
Gotta talk to him!
