Chapter 91: Teaching by example
"Why?" Li Zhixian was holding the lyrics written by Krystal to re-read them, and when he heard this, his face showed unconcealed surprise, artists have always tried their best to promote themselves, and they have never seen such a "subtle" entertainer.
"Although the general storyline is similar, the story written by Lee is obviously much richer than my few humble articles and crude lyrics, and the characters are more vivid," Krystal said in her usual poker face. Especially the last essay, which is very close to the theme, even I was deeply touched when I read it. β
What Krystal doesn't understand is why Li Zhixian and his body as a boy can write such a profound story about girls, and the last essay is the most important, as if it is a portrayal of her heart, stubborn and tenacious, brave and cowardly.
As Krystal spoke, Lee caught the flickering of loss in the corner of her eye. Although there is indeed a gap in quality, it is the result of painstaking efforts and several days to complete it anyway, and it was rejected by myself personally, and it is impossible to say in my heart that I am not disappointed.
However, Li Zhixian looked stunned, took his eyes off the page, looked at her and said seriously: "I think the lyrics you wrote are very good, and you can even use them directly in the song after a little polish." β
Krystal suddenly looked up in surprise, and then immediately realized the unreality, he knew best what he wrote, thinking that he couldn't wipe his face and comfort himself, just wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Li Zhixian's blunt reverse: "I just read the lyrics you wrote, it is indeed extremely simple and straightforward, and some words and phrases, especially the lyrics in the main song, are even as naΓ―ve as elementary and junior high school students." β
Even if he was as cold as Krystal, his face stiffened when he was counted by Li Zhixian's ridiculed words, and he said that the lyrics were excellent just now, but he immediately became so ruthless, his eyebrows gathered together unnaturally, and he wanted to distinguish himself, but he didn't know where to speak.
"But......" Li Zhixian gasped, and suddenly the conversation changed, "This point happens to become the finishing touch of your understanding of this song." β
Krystal's frowning brows were still unfurled, and he could no longer keep up with Li Zhixian's leaping thoughts, and he could no longer distinguish the meaning of what he said.
"I don't know if you've heard OrangeCaramel's songs." Lee asked other questions that were not related to the topic.
Krystal nodded inexplicably, the Orange Caramel that Li Zhixian said was a team launched by the girl group AfterSchool, which debuted half a month earlier than f(x), and the group's positioning is based on a pure and cute route, and even successfully entered Japan, released a Japanese album, and has maintained a high popularity since its debut, and has also met with f(x) during the event, Krystal has naturally listened to their songs.
"Now that you've heard it, you know what the style of their songs is. Intense toxic melodies are arguably their most powerful weapon that has quickly taken the country by storm. And the lyrics in their songs are also a very important part of it. β
After Li Zhixian finished speaking, he directly hummed the chorus part of the title song "Lipstick" from the album released by OrangeCaramel last year.
"Show off your lipstick, touch your lips, get dizzy, sneak rubbing against your protruding collarbone, Oma-oma, Oma-oma ............"
Fortunately, there were few customers in the coffee shop, so he dared to sing in public like this, and he simply hummed two straightforward lyrics, because the sense of work burden was not as strong as when he was on stage before.
However, with Lee Zhixian's height of 1.8 meters and his identity as a producer, singing such girly lyrics still makes Krystal feel a little jaw-dropping.
Lee Chi Hyun is not embarrassed at all, and his dedication after entering the work state is amazing, and the prudence and caution in life are completely extreme, often doing what comes to mind, which is also an important reason why he can quickly establish himself in the center of infinite challenges and music.
"You can notice that there is a 'oma' repeated many times in the lyrics I hummed just now, which is why they accurately captured the theme of the song, OrangeCaramel focuses on cute girly style, and 'oma' is the interjection that most cute girls will make from time to time, and the childish lyrics have become the highlight of the whole song." Li Zhixian continued to explain to her: "Therefore, whether the lyrics are simple and childish and straightforward is not as important as imagined, the key is to see whether it fits the theme. β
Then he picked up the lyrics page written by Krystal and pointed to the opening paragraph: "For example, you say, 'Follow your footsteps secretly, every day, always be careful not to let you notice.'" "Looked down and pointed to another paragraph, "And here, 'Seeing you fall asleep in my arms, I really, really like you'." If I were to come, I'm afraid I would never have thought of such a highlight of youth and ...... in my life Fleshy sentences. This is the advantage of being a girl with fans. β
When Krystal was flipping through Lee Chi-hsien's story just now, he was also not idle, and he had been repeatedly deliberating on the availability of the lyrics. The result was beyond his imagination, and at first glance, it was really unsightly, and the construction and wording of the sentences were completely inconsistent with the rumored status of her being admitted to Sungkyunkwan University with the first grade in her major. But as the reading progressed, Li Zhixian tried to use the substitution method taught to him by Sun Chenghuan, and he realized that perhaps the lyrics written by this word-forming method were the sentences that represented the unique state of mind of a girl.
It's like "Crayon Shin-chan" or "Cherry Maruko", which is obviously an extremely childish plot with extremely white-eyed dialogue, but it has a fascinating charm that even many adults will indulge in.
Krystal's lyrics obviously can't be on the level of "Crayon Shin-chan" or "Cherry Maruko", but they also have their own unique characteristics.
How so......
"Very spiritual!" There is no space-time fault that can only exist in a parallel world, as is the case with Li Zhixian's original words.
"Inside?" Faced with Li Zhixian's sudden comment, Krystal was completely at a loss, and for the first time showed a cute and cute expression in front of him that he unconsciously showed because of confusion, staring at Li Zhixian with big eyes.
"I mean, the lyrics you write are very spiritual." Li Zhixian retold it completely, and said: "Except because I don't understand the collocation of lyrics and syllables, for example, the first sentence is thirteen syllables, but your lyrics are only eleven words, and the chorus part is the same." Again, the lyrics are simple and simple, but except for the chorus part, it is better not to repeat the words, and this part should also be modified. And ......"
Listening to Li Zhixian's eloquent talk, Krystal is really "Zheng" restless, she lacks confidence in lyrics, and she only knows how superficial her level is after meeting a professional lyricist, no wonder Li Zhuying will reprimand her for lyrics before.
Although Krystal's professionalism is not angry, it is inevitable to be depressed, and after such a comment, he is now with his head down, his eyelids drooping slightly, and his expression is not clear.
"Except for these few deficiencies, the whole lyrics are excellent, very immersive, as long as you modify it slightly, you can ......" Li Zhixian's voice stopped abruptly, and finally noticed her abnormality, "Krystalxi? β
"Inside?" Subconsciously hearing the shout and looking up, Krystal reacted to his gaffe, and a red glow quickly popped up on his face, causing the frost on his face to dissipate a lot, and a rare twisted little daughter appeared.
