Chapter Seventy-Six: Li Zhixian's Lyrics
"That's right, you'll fill in the words."
Li Zhixian's firm answer confirmed their question.
Several girls looked at Lee Joo-young in unison, the experience of being reprimanded by him for lyrics is still clearly engraved in their minds, vividly, and they don't understand why he agreed to the proposal to compose lyrics this time.
"Let's listen carefully to Li Production's lecture first." Lee Joo-young was unmoved, but just reminded them to listen carefully.
Li Zhixian threw a grateful look at him, and then said: "I know very well that you have no previous experience in lyric writing, and you have not been trained in lyricism, but this time we are going to take a different approach from the lyrics you have tried in the past. ”
"May I ask what method does Li Productions take?"
Victoria, the eldest and captain, asked questions on behalf of her younger sisters.
"I wonder if you've heard of narrative lyrics?"
Li Zhixian did not answer her question directly, but instead asked another rhetorical question.
Several people fell into deep thought at the same time, recalling in their memories the concept of "narrative lyrics" mentioned by Li Zhixian, and naturally they learned nothing without experiencing the relevant learning, and Amber didn't even understand the words at all.
Only Luna guessed with uncertainty about the literal meaning: "Did you write a story as a lyric?" ”
"That's understandable, but it's not entirely true." Li Zhixian first nodded, and then shook his head, "This time I just added elements of the story to the lyrics, if I just made up a story, I think you little girls must be better than me, and I don't have to go to such great lengths and beat around the bush." ”
"Then what do you mean......"
"Remember the question I asked you before listening to the song?"
Everyone nodded, and it was impossible to forget the issues he had emphasized at the beginning of the meeting.
"The reason for this question is to observe your sensitivity to the characteristics of the song, even if there are only some story fragments, it must be in line with the mood of the song."
is a very simple truth, regardless of their strength for the time being, several people are artists in the music industry, and they all understand it when he says so.
It's just that......
"What I said best fits the mood of the song?" Krystal's eyes widened incredulously and she pointed at herself with a voice that was two tones higher than she usually sang in perfect disbelief and was just a casual perfunctory remark.
Li Zhixian's face was full of irrepressible surprise just now, and they couldn't pretend to be surprised, including Huang Zuo's sudden move.
Do I have any hidden musical talent?
Krystal couldn't help but have doubts about his true strength.
"That's right." Li Zhixian affirmed what she had in mind, "The overall style of the song 'Secret Love' style was determined by me and Huang before it was produced, and I also deliberately shifted to the secrecy and lightness of the secret love when re-arranging the song, and even the early lead lyrics emphasized the concept of secret love, such as 'not being detected' in the lyrics, 'two people who only belong to themselves dating' and so on." ”
Li Zhixian hid Sun Chenghuan's part, and there was no need to tell them these details.
But why do we have to be used as lyrics? Since Lee Productions and Huang Productions have even set the direction, wouldn't it be more perfect to directly make the finished product? ”
Victoria's rare outspokenness, as the captain must be responsible, it is related to the new album, and the cause and effect must be asked, and there is no room for sloppiness.
"I'm sorry, it was my negligence." Li Zhixian was reminded by her to realize that he was only surprised by the unexpected gain, and he forgot to explain the reason, and sincerely apologized before explaining: "This is a plan that Huang Maker and I have thought about for a long time before deciding. f(x)'s fan group is relatively special, mostly 10 generations of girls, and it is undoubtedly the best way to make it by catering to the preferences of fans through resonant lyrics and songs. However, we are not girls after all, no matter how we simulate and imagine, we always feel that there is a lack of some kind of charm. So after we discussed it, we decided to let you finish the lyrics directly, after all, you are not only the people who are most familiar with the fans of f(x), but also a slim girl yourself, and naturally you know the most about the idea of a crush. ”
In this way, the explanation makes sense, although it is somewhat shy to mention the secret crush so blatantly, but it also solves the doubts in everyone's hearts.
Related to the title song, Krystal really didn't care about Li Zhixian's gaffe before at this time, and confessed half expectantly and half panicked: "But...... I don't know how to write lyrics. ”
"Isn't that still me?"
This sentence will make people curl up in the TV series, but Li Zhixian said it openly, without any pause, and he didn't feel numb at all.
Krystal frowned at him even more strangely, seeing that his eyes were clear and serious, it didn't seem like he meant something, but an unintentional sentence happened to come across, and then he put his heart back in his stomach.
Li Zhixian really didn't realize the misunderstanding that his words might cause, and said to himself: "In fact, when many lyricists write lyrics, they will first sketch an outline like writing a short story, matching the established style, and then constantly enriching it to form a short story, and finally refining the content of the story into lyrics of no more than dozens or hundreds of words." ”
After listening to his explanation, several people felt very curious, they had never been exposed to this kind of training, they were very interested in the theory he proposed, and they were attentively looking forward to his subsequent speech.
"I don't write many lyrics, but most of them are written in this narrative method, such as Girls' Generation's "Romantic Street", when I first wrote the lyrics, I imagined the story of walking on the boulevard of a winter night with my lover, but later I rewrote it from the perspective of a girl considering the identity of Girls' Generation."
"Lee Productions has also collaborated with the seniors of Girls' Generation?"
They know very well that their status in the company is not worse than that of Girls' Generation, and they are surprised by his resume when they hear him expose such a "glorious past".
"Uh...... There was a collaboration. Li Zhixian touched his nose in embarrassment, he didn't intend to say these things about Chen Sesame and rotten grain, but in the process of explaining, in order to be more vivid, he unconsciously blurted out.
"Your last album's 'Jet' also had Lee Productions involved."
Huang Productions added for Li Zhixian that since he planned to make friends, he had to start releasing friendly signals step by step, and restoring his name in a small area was a decision he measured in an instant.
Li Zhixian turned his head and glanced at Huang Chuan with complexity, his exit was very abrupt, but he also clearly expressed his attitude, Li Zhixian felt his overture, and finally didn't say more.
The people of f(x) didn't know these secrets, but they said that he had unknowingly crossed paths with his own group, and they were surprised and became more and more convinced of his statement.
