"When the advertisement comes back, we have asked Professor Lei Ming to continue to comment on Mr. Ye Zi's first solo album." The camera's work indicator light turned on, and Lin Liming said loudly into the camera.

When the advertisement was paused, Ye Zi and Chen Yichen chatted with Lei Ming for a few words. Judging from the chat, this Professor Lei Ming should not be the kind of duplicitous villain, but Ye Zi can also feel it in the words that the general mentality of critics is not very welcome for him, an outsider who has broken into the Xiangjiang music scene.

This diǎn made Ye Zi feel very helpless.

In terms of the production of the album, Ye Zi is very confident that the efforts of himself and Wenhui Entertainment are very good, even the best. As long as the fans spend their mind and time, Ye Zi is also confident to win them over. In terms of media, as long as Ye Zi really does a good job, after the popularity rises, they will follow the ass without discipline. Only in the critics, Ye Zi doesn't know how to redeem or change their inherent mentality.

Of course, there are critics who support Ye Zi, but unfortunately, they only account for a small part.

But now is not the time to think about these, Professor Lei Ming's comments, Ye Zi still has to listen carefully.

"In terms of album quality, Ye Zi's solo album is one of the highest quality albums I've heard in recent years." Lei Ming still maintains the practice of saying good things first, and praised Ye Zi's album: "Almost every work on the album is remarkable, and the Chinese version of "I Wait Until the Flowers Are Thanks" as the title song is excellent and impeccable. Although the sub-title song "The Sound of the Waves Remains" is not very popular among Xiangjiang fans, in my heart, this is an excellent work comparable to "I Wait for the Flowers to Thank You". ”

"Special mention of a diǎn," Lei Ming raised his voice slightly: "All the songs in this album are written and composed by Ye Zi, including the arrangement and orchestration of these songs, which are all done by him alone, this superhuman talent is admirable and admirable." And when composing these songs, Ye Zi took into account the changes between the unity and diversity of styles, and the sense of harmony of the whole album is excellent. ”

"In my opinion, it's a very good, very good album! Personally, I like it very, very much. Lei Minglian uses four "very" to end the front (9) ¢dǐng (9) ¢diǎn (9) ¢ small (9) ¢ said, .≮.▽os_ (); Comments on this paragraph.

"Thank you, Professor Lei, for your compliment, Ye Zi is grateful." Ye Zi first thanked Lei Ming for his praise, and then continued: "Professor Lei, I would like to hear your opinions and suggestions on this album, which will be of greater benefit to me in the future." ”

"Well, young people have such an attitude, and they don't have to worry about the future and no progress." Lei Ming smiled and said, "If you want to talk about the shortcomings...... There are also two diǎn, and I hope to discuss it with you. ”

Facing Ye Zi, Lei Ming was more polite.

"Speak, please."

"Okay, the first thing I think is a little lacking is your singing." Lei Ming made the first opinion with great certainty.

"Singing?" Ye Zi was stunned.

Ye Zi put a lot of effort into the singing of this album, almost every song has been perfected, and Ye Zi himself can't find any faults. Teacher Sun Yun and other teachers also praised this, what does this Lei Ming mean?

"Yes, it's singing." Lei Ming affirmed the diǎn head: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you can't sing well, but ...... You sang these eleven songs too perfectly, but it gave me a fake feeling. ”

It's too perfect, but it makes people feel fake?

Ye Zi was stunned again, and immediately reacted.

That's right, Lei Ming is so right!

When Ye Zi recorded these songs, he did strive for perfection and even nitpicking in terms of singing, and the same is true for post-production. Sometimes, for the sake of a different pronunciation, he can spend an entire day pondering dozens of different schemes, trying to achieve perfection. But now it seems that Ye Zi walked into a misunderstanding at that time, that is, he pursued the perfection of details too much.

A work of art is always a kind of regrettable art, and perfection never exists. Deliberately pursuing this kind of perfection that does not exist in zài, the result of the guide zhì is this feeling that makes people feel fake, and in the end it often outweighs the loss.

I remember that when recording "The Sound of the Waves", Mr. Lu Zheng just asked Ye Zi to sing and open his throat, and noticed that his singing was very good, and then directly recorded his singing. After that, Mr. Lu only found a few obvious small mistakes for him to fix, and the recording of this song was completed. Later, Ye Zi wanted to re-record this song several times, he thought that he could sing better and more perfectly, but every time such a request was reprimanded by Mr. Lu Zheng, until now that the album has been completely formed, this song has not been re-recorded.

When Ye Zi was making zuò master tapes, he could often find some very subtle little faults in this song with his ear power. For example, the breathing connection in a certain place is not smooth enough, the pronunciation position in a certain place is not completely in place, or the sentence breaks or ups and downs in a certain place seem to be rearranged, all of which were not fully noticed during the recording. Ye Zi asked Mr. Lu Zheng to listen to these small problems in details, but Mr. Lu Zheng still resolutely rejected his revisions.

For this reason, Ye Zi still complained a little bit about Teacher Lu Zheng in his heart.

At that time, Teacher Lu Zheng asked Ye Zi to completely give up paying attention to these small places and listen to the song with an attitude of pure appreciation of the song. Of course, Ye Zi knew that as long as he didn't pay much attention to it, or his ears weren't as sharp as his own, these problems would not be a problem at all.

It's just that...... Ye Zi is still haunted by this.

Lei Ming's words can really be said to wake up the person in the dream, if Ye Zi continues to follow this line of thought, then he will really come to a dead end.

In his previous life, pop music was already extremely developed, but Ye Zi didn't like those songs at that time. Although in terms of songwriting, these songs are still very good, and the singers can be regarded as having their own characteristics, but Ye Zi just can't really devote himself to liking them. Because of the emergence of various advanced recording equipment, including sound editing software, the singing of these singers in later generations has become almost flawless, and the pitch, rhythm, and song processing can be regarded as the best state that can be done, but in Ye Zi's feeling, this kind of song has a fake taste, a sense of unreality brought by excessive embellishment.

This is very similar to the feeling of Ye Zi's current album.

Artistic perfection is always relative, there has never been perfection in the absolute sense of zài in this world, the pursuit of such absolute perfection is like seeking a fish from a tree, it is completely impossible to find the final answer, but will let the real relative sense of perfection pass by yourself.

Why can "The Sound of the Waves Remain" be on the "Pop Song Chart" in Shencheng for eight consecutive years, but "I Wait Until the Flowers Are Thanks", which is more "excellent" in singing and more sophisticated in terms of production, can't do this? In addition to the strong opponent, Ye Zi's excessive pursuit of the absolute perfection of this song should also be one of the reasons. The audience may not be able to say such a profound truth, but they certainly have such a feeling.

has always been in his past life and in this life, Ye Zi has always liked the singing of these superstars of Xiangjiang and Taihai emperors in the 80s and 90s. Principal Tan's consistent calm atmosphere, his brother Zhang Guorong's imitable fatal sensibility, Sister Mei's outstanding rebellion and changeability, as well as Brother An's elegance, Qi Qing's cold arrogance, and the brilliant and colorful flowers of the stars and mountains in the Taiwan Strait, all of which made Ye Zi intoxicated at all times. In fact, if you distinguish carefully, none of these emperor superstars are truly perfect. Principal Tan and Zhang Guorong's voices will be deformed as soon as they reach the high pitch, Sister Mei's timbre is very average, Brother An's singing is too monotonous, Qi Qing's imitation traces are too strong, and many of Zhang Yusheng's singing notes are not allowed, and so on. Everyone has very obvious shortcomings, but these shortcomings do not detract from their excellence at all! Because each of them has done the best in his own best place, in the most characteristic aspect.

For each and every one of them, and for every fan who loves them, this – it's perfect! And like what Ye Zi is doing now, it seems that he is pursuing a higher level of perfection, but in fact, it is the opposite, and he is getting farther and farther away from true perfection.

As soon as he figured out this truth, a cold sweat broke out on Ye Zi's vest. At the same time, his heart was like opening another window, the blue sky outside the window was closer to Ye Zi, and even his breathing, Ye Zi felt smoother.

Affected by the induction, the qi in Ye Zi's dantian suddenly became lively. Since he felt the hope of a breakthrough when he participated in the three-place competition half a year ago, half a year of penance has not allowed Ye Zi to find a real breakthrough. But this time, Ye Zi really felt that a breakthrough was imminent.

Only one real opportunity is missing.

"Professor Lei, thank you!" Ye Zi stood up and respectfully gave Lei Ming a big salute: "Listening to your words, Ye Zi really knows where my mistakes in this album are, and Ye Zi has been taught." ”

"Ouch, Mr. Ye Zi, is it so exaggerated?" Without waiting for Lei Ming to react, Lin Liming said with a smile.

Chen Yichen also looked at Ye Zi with a puzzled face: "Xiao Yezi, I think your singing on this album is very good, there is no problem?" ”

Ye Zi was still standing there, and said extremely seriously: "Sister Lin, AN, my album does have these problems pointed out by Professor Lei, and Professor Lei's words just now have pointed out the direction for my future path, and I should be grateful no matter how grateful." ”

"Ye Zi, sit down, sit down." Lei Ming lifted his glasses and smiled happily: "My opinion is useful to you, then I will be very happy." ”

"Professor Lei, your opinion is not useful, but extremely important." Ye Zi said very sincerely: "I have gone into a misunderstanding in the singing and recording of this album, and I have pursued perfection in details one-sidedly, which has led to the problem of 'fake' in the overall feeling." If it weren't for your reminder, I would have continued on this path, and the consequences would have been unimaginable. ”

"Thank you, Professor!"

"Okay, good," Lei Ming said with a smile, "Then let's talk more when we have time, to be honest, I still like your album very much." ”

Ye Zi was able to accept and comprehend his own opinion, and Lei Ming was also very happy.

"Thank you, Professor, I would love to be able to ask you for advice at any time." Ye Zi sat down and said sincerely: "Professor, this is my business card, I will invite you to tea when I have time." ”

Ye Zi and Lei Ming happily exchanged business cards here, and Lin Liming couldn't help it.

"Wait, wait, Professor Lei, Mr. Ye Zi, you ...... I don't understand your dumb riddle at all. Professor Ray, can you explain that to us? ”

"yes, I didn't understand either." Chen Yichen muttered.

Lei Ming and Ye Zi glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Actually, Ye Zi told the real situation a lot strictly. Ye Zi spent too much thought on the recording of this album, he wanted to handle every detail perfectly, and this diǎn should actually be affirmed, which is a strict requirement in art. ”

But we all know that true perfection does not exist in zài, and this is the truth that the Venus with a broken arm does not compromise her perfection in the slightest. Ye Zi wants to be as perfect as possible on his album, and that's where I think it's debatable. ”

Lin Liming shook his head and asked, "I'm sorry professor, I still haven't been able to fully understand Ye Zi's requirements for the album...... Isn't that correct? ”

"Of course it's correct, it's just that Ye Zi did a little too much. Here I want to help Ye Zi explain, this is just me and Ye Zi on the details of the album, what I just said will definitely not affect the quality of this album, the audience, fans can not pay attention to it at all. This is an extremely good solo album that deserves every viewer. Every fan went to buy one. Lei Ming explained again, and by the way, he helped Ye Zi do some publicity and stopped continuing.

The things he and Ye Zi discussed just now involve a lot of deep specialization, including not only singing, but also more abstract things such as psychology, sociology and philosophy, which are too complicated to explain, and cannot be explained clearly in a few words. And to understand these really need a diǎn understanding, understanding is understanding, no matter how you explain what you don't understand, you still don't understand.

From this diǎn, Lin Liming and Chen Yichen are really far behind Ye Zi. Chen Yichen may also realize such a truth one day with his increasing singing ability and social experience, but Lin Liming, a famous host in Xiangjiang...... It's impossible to understand anymore. (To be continued.) )
