Let's forget about the beautiful face and **** of the "Idol Project" for the time being!

Today we have gained a lot, not only the beautiful, youthful, and girly "Gee", but also the dark, murderous, and gorgeous "Chapter 7 of the Night".

Personally, I think that the only thing that can fight with Cheng Xiaoyu in today's music scene should be "poison", to be honest, I am not too optimistic about the new album created by Jin Jun's team for the god of songs, but it is too early to draw conclusions.

After watching "Gee", I have to sigh that Producer Cheng has an accurate grasp of the psychology of mass consumption, and he just tells you that I am going to make your money. I will write whatever you like to hear, and I will shoot whatever you like to watch, and I am not afraid that you will not pay for it. Even if I hate commercial music very much, it's hard to hate the "Idol Project", and it is already a must that saliva songs can be written to the level of Cheng Producer.

Off topic: If you think that Cheng is only commercial, then you are imbecile. If you want to understand Producer Cheng, you still have to listen to the album "Guilty Crown", we won't discuss this here, today we will mainly talk about Poison's new song "The Seventh Chapter of the Night".

At first, someone said that "poison" committed suicide, of course I didn't believe it, and then the unscrupulous tabloid published that poison committed suicide because he couldn't write a new song, to be honest, I couldn't help but have a little faith in my heart, because Poison's first album "Jay" was too hanging. Here is a forced Amway wave of "JAY", and those who didn't buy it hurry up to buy it, not to be missed.

If Cheng Producer represents the height of Chinese music, commercial, orthodox and popular. Then poison undoubtedly represents the height of Chinese music, art, imagination, and popularity, and it is difficult to distinguish between the two in terms of the quality of the works, but selfishness prefers the imagination of poison, as well as the impact of the weird and changeable style, which can combine classical and pop.

Speaking of new songs, "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" hangs or not? There is no doubt about it, the black and luxurious melody, mysterious and clean, the impact is powerful, like the cry of the soul, shocking, weird and holy.

This is a cliché, so where does it hang?

It hangs in every detail, first talk about the lyrics of "The Seventh Chapter of the Night", you think it is written casually? No, no, you underestimate the poison too much, every sentence of it corresponds to the story of "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection", and the lyrics of the ghost genius of the poison have to be admired:

First sentence: In 1983, the alley was sunny in December

1983: In 1893, Mrs. Watson died, and Holmes, pretending to be dead, ended his trip to Tibet and was traveling in Persia, Khartoum, and other places;

Second sentence: In chapter 7 of the night, the typewriter continues to push the next line that is close to the truth

Typewriter: In "The Case of Identity", Holmes deduces that Wendy Bank is Angel through the mutilated "e" and "r" on the typewriter note;

Sentence 3: The fog of a heather pipe

We all know that heather pipes represent Sherlock Holmes

Verse 20: If evil is a gorgeous and cruel movement

"My friend (Sherlock Holmes] was an enthusiastic musician, and he was not only a virtuosistic performer, but also a composer of great talent...... "Music was Holmes' passion, and detective art and the pursuit of criminals were once regarded by him as more important than life;

Sentence 34: Bloom a gorgeous death on the chest

In "Milwharton", a mysterious visiting beautiful woman shoots a bullet into Milwharton's chest;

Sentence 35: I taste this last bite, the sweet truth

Smile recalls that justice is just a quiet service

Sherlock Holmes transferred the results of countless cases to official detectives for free, and he once said indifferently that work is the best reward.

In the thirty-sixth line, the violin flutters on the banks of the Thames

Sherlock Holmes's violin skills are superb, and the River Thames is the famous river that runs through London.

The lyrics of "Poison" are really a must! Every sentence corresponds to the story in "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection", and the lyrics are so fine.

Let's talk about arrangement, I personally think that "Poison" and Producer Cheng represent the highest level of Chinese arrangement, and once again, listen to Producer Cheng to listen to "Crown of Crime", Producer Cheng's arrangement symphony is the direction of future arrangement, from Poison's "Chapter 7 of the Night" everyone should be able to hear, genius always coincides.

Let's analyze the arrangement of the song and the song itself. First of all, the song of "poison" is not a commodity, but a work of art, and if you think that it is expensive to listen to it for five yuan, you can go to the Palace Museum to buy tickets.

The song begins with a brighter music box, broken up with chords, and the strings repeat the same notes, expressing a sense of nervousness. (From the very beginning, it was a perfect match between pop and classical, modern synthesizers and classical instruments for the violin.) ）

The cello plays the chorus melody and listens closely, and the sound of a typewriter immediately follows here, which immediately gives the song a cinematic feel.

The crescendo drum rolls like thunder, pushing the emotions up, and the chorus melody shifts from cello to violin (the details of the arrangement will not be analyzed in detail)

The whole song, from the lyrics to the arrangement, perfectly combines classical and pop.

The whole song seems to tell a story, and it seems to set an era.

There is a good saying that composition is a horizontal creation, and arrangement is a vertical creation.

Through the extension and development of two directions, the whole song has a three-dimensional picture sense.

From the demo, it can be seen that the poison MIDI makes the whole melody play with the violin and the piano performance, perfecting the height of the melody, and the arrangement opens the width of the whole picture from the vertical.

From the writing of the lower strings and the performance of the orchestra, to the thickness of the drums, to the polishing of the various sound synthesizers. Let this accompaniment fully complete the mission of highlighting the vocals.

At the time of three minutes and ten seconds, the combination of strings and piano pushes the whole song to reach the highest point. This piano melody has been listened to many times, and it is extremely beautiful.

And the thickness of this song can be said to be very sufficient, whether it is the arrangement or the harmony, although the harmony of this song does not seem complicated, but it increases the width of the song at the most opportune time.

From the high-pitched harmonies that resemble female vocals, to the harmonies of Poison Himself's derfartherfartherfarfar and the other accompanied by the floating far~, you can't define exactly what he sings and what he wants to express, but it fits the whole song well and creates an indescribable atmosphere. The original intention of this point can be equated with his casualness all along.

The lyrics of "The moccasins that the footsteps anticipate are ......" and the melody are so easy to hear and explode! and then to the fitting of the female chorus's modulation, and finally when the chorus raises an octave female voice is actually better grasped, the falsetto of the poison ecstasy appears just right, making the whole "Chapter 7 of the Night" perfect.

Actually, I think this design is great, after the female voice, the poison and then handwritten this finale feels very good. I believe many people want to know, who sings this female voice, right?

I was also very curious, so I specially asked Director Liu Bin, and after asking, I realized how seriously "Poison" treats music.

All the strings in this piece are provided by the Berliner Philharmoniker, and the female voices in the arrangement are also provided by the Berliner Philharmoniker Choir, and Director Liu Bin personally rushed to Berlin to record the money, which is astronomical.

As for those few female voices, I don't say that you can't guess who it is.

According to Director Liu, it was he who initially sent an audition invitation to Cheng Xiujing and Su Yuxi, who had the best singing skills in the "Idol Project", instead of "Poison", and "Shanghe" refused at first, but I don't know why he agreed later, so Cheng Xiujing and Su Yuxi both recorded this paragraph.

In the end, "Poison" felt that Su Yuxi's voice was more suitable and more in line with the cold and cruel artistic conception, so the final version chose Su Yuxi's version.

Anyway, is it really good that "Poison" likes "Idol Project" so much?

PS: Looking forward to the Mars hitting the Earth at the end of this year's awards season, Cheng Xiaoyu is excited about "poison".

(To be honest, I personally think it's better than me, and the update is not as fast as mine.) The update is faster than mine, and the writing is not as good as mine, so please count the votes!) (To be continued.) )
