Chapter 193: Roar
……
So-wake-me-up-when-it’s-all-over~
So when this is all over, please wake me up~
When-I’m-wiser-and-I’m-older~
When I have passed the wind and moon and tasted life~
All-thistime-I-was-finding-myself~
I'm always looking for myself~
And-I-didn’t-know-I-was-lost~
And I didn't know that I was lost~
……
In the basement of Li Xiaoni's villa, a high-grade personal music studio has been built, which is equipped with various electronic musical instruments, Lin Zaishan used a monitor headset to listen to the sample "Wake-me-up" sent to Li Xiaoni by the British side, his brows were furrowed, and he was quite dissatisfied with this song.
The British side sent four samples to Li Xiaoni, with very different styles, this song "Wake-me-up" is the style of Power-Pop, which is the so-called powerful pop music, with the heavy piano as the main melody, and the rhythm is very exciting, but the vocal range of this song is very flat, only spanning 1.25 octaves, and it is difficult to show Li Xiaoni's diva singing.
Maybe the British really think that Asian divas can't sing the taste of European and American divas, so the songs they chose for Li Xiaoni have a very flat vocal range, no wonder Li Xiaoni feels aggrieved to sing, such a song is very suitable for ordinary Pop singers to sing, and a diva-level singer like Li Xiaoni sings such a song, which is really a bit overkill.
Although Li Xiaoni's singing skills have not yet reached the point of perfection, relying on the arrangement to set off the personality and charm of her singing voice is really a bit of a pearl.
The other song "Shake-Love", which is very valued by the national entertainment team, only spans 1.5 octaves, and the stretch is still not strong enough. Although the melody is concise and the taste of R&B is very sufficient, after listening to it just now, Li Xiaoni and Lin Zaishan feel that they still owe a little heat. The lyrics are also uninteresting, too traditional and conservative, without any breakthroughs.
The other two demos are electronic dance music pieces that combine elements of stage rock and psychedelic rock, lacking a distinct personality, much like the British team wants to do something hastily, and does not pay attention to the weight of the last song on Lee Hyo-ni's album.
According to Lee Hyo-ni. The other songs on her album, which are about the level of "Shake-Love" and "Wake-me-up", do not have a particularly cheerful feeling in the title song, and they are very boring to sing, which makes Lin Jae-shan more pessimistic about the prospects of Lee Hyo-ni's British album.
Originally, Oriental people were not taken seriously in the European and American pop music markets, and although Paul, the producer of this album, had a big background, he obviously did not use all his skills to polish the album, which made the album contain a lot of water.
If Lin Zaishan wanted to know about this, he would definitely come forward. Tailor-made a few golden songs for Li Xiaoni that have swept the major charts in Europe and the United States in another world. In that way, with the production of big-name European and American producers, wearing gold clothes, it is definitely more powerful than now.
But alas, the album has already been made to the end. It's impossible to tear down and start over, otherwise, you'll have to offend those big-name producers, which is for Asian singers. Not a good thing.
They can only work on this last song a little bit now, hoping to raise the album a little bit and make it look less bleak.
If there is a song that can make it to the UK charts. This album can be regarded as a highlight.
After thinking about it, Lin Zaishan prepared to move two European and American golden songs that were very important in another world for Li Xiaoni. Let's see which one Lee Hyo-ni likes, and use that song as the hidden title of the album.
When Lin Zaishan moved songs to Li Xiaoni, Li Xiaoni had already gone to the luxurious bathroom and took a bath to rejuvenate her body.
After being strangled by the tight corset all day, Li Xiaoni's delicate and tight body was strangled with a lot of marks - under the chest, behind the waist, and on the thighs.
Lying in the bubble bath, Li Xiaoni slowly rubbed her delicate skin, hoping that these marks would disappear quickly, she didn't want Lin Zaishan to see that there were many strips on her perfect body, which was too ugly.
Recalling the aftertaste of Lin Zaishan just kissing her, looking forward to the joy of fish and water and the good of Qin Se after 12 years of farewell to Lin Zaishan, Li Xiaoni's heart is full of imaginary happiness.
Usually when she comes home to take a bath, she is hasty and not in the mood to soak more. Who will smell the incense? In the empty mansion, she was alone, lonely as water.
But now, with someone finally accompanied, Li Xiaoni feels that this huge mansion is finally not so empty, and her own body is finally not so empty.
After more than ten years of repairing the tunnel, someone finally wants to help get through, this surging sense of anticipation makes Li Xiaoni seem to have returned to the time when she was a teenager, and back to the years when she was first developed by Lin Zaishan, and her body seems to be much younger all of a sudden.
……
I-got-the-eye-of-the-tiger,-the-fire,-dancing-through-the-fire~
I saw a new world through the eyes of the tigers, the flames of the demons, dance with me~!
Cause-I-am-a-champion-and-you’re-gonna-hear-me-ROAR~
Because I'm the uncrowned king - you will hear my soul - let it roar~!
Louder,-louder-than-a-lion~
A little louder, a little louder, more fanatical than a lion~!
Cause-I-am-a-champion-and-you’re-gonna-hear-me-ROAR~
Because I am the uncrowned king, you will hear my soul - let it roar~!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh~!
……
In the music room, Lin Zaishan is playing a rhythmic timpani for the "Roar" he has just sang.
Similar to the style of "Wake-me-up" that I heard before, this song "Roar" is also a pop song with a strong pop theme, and incorporates elements such as stage rock, with heavy piano, deep and powerful bass guitar, and light and crisp timpani, and the orchestration is crisp and clean. The melody is domineering.
This song is the seventh No. 1 single of Katy-Perry's Billboard Top 100 in the United States, and has swept the music charts of more than 10 countries including the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Austria, New Zealand, Ireland, Israel, and South Korea.
And won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year and the American Copyright Society for Best Single of the Year and many other heavyweight awards that year.
In September 2013, "Roar" landed on the British Peninsula in its first week, and with 179,500 copies of the single, it landed at the top of the British OCC singles chart.
The song's style of play has quite a lot of appeal to fans in the British Peninsula.
Moving this song to Lee Hyo-ni, although it doesn't want to sweep the UK, it is at least much more impactful than a song like "Wake-me-up".
When singing this song, Lee Hyo-ni's vocal range is required to span between B3 and D5, and the melody of the song is extremely strong and powerful in Lee Hyo-ni's strongest midrange area. It can maximize the toughness and strength of Li Xiaoni's voice.
The cry of "oh-oh-oh" in the chorus part is also full of personality, which is more than one grade higher than those works that use arrangements to highlight the charm of Li Xiaoni's singing.
The content of this song is also very much in line with Lee Hyo-ni's mood. During the period of working with the British team, Li Xiaoni must have squeezed a lot of grievances and bitterness in her heart, and this song is a domineering shouting golden song that spits out the annoyance in her heart, which can not only treat emotional injuries, but also treat internal injuries held in her heart.
Imagine the big names in the British team. If you want to listen to Li Xiaoni sing such a song, you will definitely feel like you are being slapped in the face, and they will re-realize Li Xiaoni's strong diva singing skills, and they don't know if they will be comfortable being slapped in the face like this.
So apart from this song. Mr. Lin also helped Ms. Lee move a piece that is more in line with the tastes of British fans — "Bleeding-Love" by British pop singer Leona-Lewis.
This "Bleeding-Love" is a lyrical R&B song with an adult style to it. The whole song spans a total of 1.75 octaves from C4 to Bb5, which is more suitable for the display of Lee Hyo-ni's diva singing.
The song uses the usual "main song-chorus-bridge" structure, and the arrangement is particularly excellent.
Lin Zaishan copied all the arrangements and orchestrations of this song. So as not to fool around with the British team. He mainly used the complete electronic instruments in Li Xiaoni's studio, and simply recorded the arrangement and orchestration of the song.
The sound of the church organ can be heard from the beginning of the song all the way to the Bridge. Lin Zaishan is simulated with electronic musical instruments, and the sound effect is very special.
At the same time, the faint sound of strings can also be heard in the song, as well as the breaking beat of the wooden percussion instruments that are worn in the song from time to time. The structure of the song is supported by a distorted drum beat loop similar to that of a military band.
Starting from the bridge section of the song, Lin Zaishan deliberately added a subtle chord change. While chord changes are the main feature of most songs, in this song, it's particularly special.
From the main song to the chorus, the song is in the common I, VI, IV, V (F, Dm, Bb, C) keys, and in the bridge section, the VI, IV, I/V, V (Dm, Bb, F/C, C) style overlaps the dark tone of the second section of the main song, and uses VI chords in the final chorus, turning the whole song to a relatively minor key and deepening the emotional impact of the song.
As far as Lin Zaishan's grasp and understanding of Li Xiaoni's singing skills are concerned, he feels that Li Xiaoni's singing of this song "Bleeding-Love" will have a very good appeal, and can really show her diva-level singing skills. If this song can be recorded well, it will definitely shock the so-called big names who despise oriental singers in the UK.
The song "Bleeding-Love" was more popular than "Roar" on the British Peninsula in the previous place. Released in October 2007, it also won the first place in the British OCC singles chart in the first week of airborne, and created a strong record of seven consecutive championships, becoming the longest number one single to win the British OCC singles chart.
In 2008, "Bleeding-Love" became the world's best-selling single that year with 9.32 million copies, which shows the strength of this song.
When Li Xiaoni was taking a bath, Lin Zaishan had already recorded a simple sample of "Bleeding-Love", he didn't sing hard, and he can't sing it now. But with a simple singing and complete arrangement, the temperament of this song has already crushed the same style of "Shake-love". Presumably, the sample recorded by Li Xiaoni is more touching than what he sings.
Li Xiaoni took a bath for nearly an hour, leaving Lin Zaishan plenty of time to create.
After soaking her delicate body like milk, she got up from the bubble bath slimly, washed her fragrant carcass, blew dry her long hair with beautiful curls, changed into the most beautiful and sexy red semi-sheer lace short nightdress, exposed her long legs and sexy buttocks, and wore luxurious and elegant red crystal high-heeled slippers, with a new thermal style, she went downstairs to the music studio on the basement floor.
Gently pushing open the door, I saw Lin Zaishan wearing a big headset, playing an electric guitar, and recording the guitar's instrumental accompaniment.
Since there was no release, Li Xiaoni couldn't hear what song Lin Zaishan was recording, but it seemed that Lin Zaishan had already written a song for her.
Rubbing her high-heeled sandals lightly, she approached Lin Zaishan from behind, but she didn't dare to disturb Lin Zaishan so as not to affect Lin Zaishan's recording.
Seeing a sheet music on the workbench, Li Xiaoni quietly picked it up and saw that it was the lyrics and sheet music of "Roar".
Composed primarily in B-flat major with a mid-tempo beat of 90 beats per minute, Lee immediately realized that this was the most suitable type of melody for her voice to show off her powerful singing skills in the middle range.
Sure enough, Lin Zaishan understands her! Those so-called British masters didn't really think about tapping into her strongest singing charm at all.
Reading such a melody, Li Xiaoni's heart was secretly excited. Looking at the lyrics of "Roar" again, Lee Hyo-ni was even more pleasantly surprised!
The general meaning of this song is that the heroine in the song has been suppressed by her lover, and she has been timid, holding back internal injuries and completely losing herself. When she woke up, she finally realized that she still had her own choice. After putting aside these shackles, she finally sang the strongest note of her soul!
In Li Xiaoni's opinion, this song is completely a work that sings the strongest voice in her heart after she got rid of the suppression and fingering of the British team!
It's a piece that will make her soul roar!
Just looking at the score and lyrics, Lee Hyo-ni has the urge to sing as fast as possible.
If this song is sung, she will definitely be able to spit out all the bitterness that has been pressed in her heart these days, and slap the face of those so-called British celebrities!
This brother really understands her heart so well!
It's so talented, too!
actually wrote such a powerful work for her in such a short period of time, Li Xiaoni almost worships the dead forest in the mountain! (To be continued.) )
