Chapter 924: UKE Li Lin
If Lin Zhiying's popularity and influence are just paper tigers for Ye Zi, Huang Yingying, a senior, is not to worry about after all, although they put a lot of pressure on Ye Zi, Ye Zi can fully withstand it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Then the duo of "UK Li Lin" can bring more pressure to Ye Zi in terms of the quality of the work and the singing of the song.
Of course, in terms of album sales (sales in the Xiangjiang area), Ye Zi still has a very obvious advantage.
Lin Zhixuan's beautiful voice is highly recognizable, with the holy taste of a church choir, although the timbre is a little slender, but it is not lacking in toughness and explosiveness, and the perfect falsetto is one of the hallmarks of Lin Zhixuan's singing. In the first album "Admitting Mistakes", Lin Zhixuan has different degrees of falsetto play in the title song "Admitting Mistakes", as well as "The Mask of Recklessness", "Only for You" and other songs.
However, for Ye Zi, Lin Zhixuan did not put as much pressure on him as Li Ji. In the era of "UK Li Lin", Lin Zhixuan's ability as the lead singer is mainly in his beautiful voice, and he is still very immature when it comes to singing skills. Although the vocal range is high but not wide enough, and his voice is not solid, there is almost no bass at all, the midrange area is relatively shriveled, and the elasticity of his voice is slightly less - this kind of singing is not good.
This level of singing level does not pose much threat to Ye Zi.
By the way, two more verbose sentences.
Lin Zhixuan's singing skills have really matured until his second solo singing album "Mona Lisa's Tears" released after his solo flight. For the first time, this album lowers Lin Zhixuan's singing vocal range, and all songs no longer show off Lin Zhixuan's beautiful high notes, but choose to focus on the middle range, emphasizing the singer's emotional interpretation. At this time (1998), Lin Zhixuan was already standing at the age of 32, with a certain amount of life experience and emotional twists and turns, the former youth and frivolity have gradually faded away, and he no longer needs the wild catharsis of the extreme treble, and the whole person has precipitated little by little.
It was also the time when he needed to be converted.
At this point, the album and the singer are closely aligned, and the success of this album has become inevitable. After the turning point of this album (this turning point actually started from his first solo singing album "Let's Disperse", but it was not thorough and not in place at the beginning), Lin Zhixuan's singing skills have really matured, and he has truly formed his own unique singing style - natural and fresh without artificiality. At this time, Lin Zhixuan's high voice is no longer fluttering, no longer rootless, but has become light and elegant with a hint of aristocratic indifference; The mid-bass also became relaxed and natural, and his singing was really handy after his singing skills. It was only when his singing skills reached such a high level that Lin Zhixuan could really consider the "all-real band simultaneous recording" – which can also be called "studio/live" – to record the album as mentioned above.
It's a pity that it's still 1993, Lin Zhixuan is still in the stage of "UK Li Lin", and his singing skills are still far from being mature and mellow.
Of course, his falsetto singing is quite perfect, and his timbre is beautiful enough, which is also the foundation for Lin Zhixuan to gain a foothold in the music world. (ps: There are many people who like Lin Zhixuan, so they stubbornly think that his singing skills during the "UK Li Lin" period are already very good, and they think that the high-pitched fluttering situation is "ethereal", so they can only hehe.) The high pitch also likes Lin Zhixuan quite a lot, but ...... Do you know what kind of sound is ethereal and spotless? Let's listen to the songs "Huanyan", "Olive Tree", and "One Side of the Lake" sung by Qi Yu. If you still don't understand, then ...... The treble can't help it. )
……
In fact, at the stage of "UK Li Lin", Li Ji, the creator, contributed much more to this group than Lin Zhixuan, the lead singer. "UK Li Lin" can become "UK Li X" without any problems, but Lin Zhixuan left Li Ji, and it was basically difficult to get ahead in that era - without Li Ji's tailor-made works for Lin Zhixuan, Lin Zhixuan's singing characteristics would not be able to play at all, and singing other people's works, with Lin Zhixuan's still immature singing skills in this period, it is difficult to undertake this kind of task.
met Li Ji, this is the biggest luck in Lin Zhixuan's singing career.
So compared with Lin Zhixuan, Li Ji, a musical genius, has brought significantly more pressure to Ye Zi. In fact, this kind of distinction in Ye Zi's heart has no meaning at all, his opponent is "UK Li Lin", Li Ji and Lin Zhixuan can only become "UK Li Lin" together, and they are separated from a singer and a creator, and they do not pose any threat to Ye Zi.
But Ye Zi just wants to stubbornly think like this, so what should he do?
Ye Zi treats them differently, that is, he attaches great importance to Li Ji's performance, and not just because of this award ceremony. At this stage and in the next three or four years, as "UK Li Lin" has become a beautiful scenery in the music world, Li Ji's musical talent has also completely and completely bloomed.
In the album "Admitting Mistakes", Li Ji created five works, including the title song "Admitting Mistakes", which are extremely excellent and excellent works. However, in this album, Li Ji's creation is still a little restrained, he is mainly cooperating with Lin Zhixuan's falsetto, so that his falsetto has room to fully play, such as the title song "Admitting Mistakes", and such as the extremely high song "Reckless Masquerade".
In the album "Yellow Ribbon" published last year (1992), Li Ji once again contributed six masterpieces with different characteristics: "Yellow Ribbon" is as calm and atmospheric as a cloud scroll; "Don't Say Too Much" is a new attempt to play and sing by itself, and the jumping between the phrases is unexpected, like an antelope hanging its horns without a trace; "Waiting is the first old man in my life" and "Shooting Star" are songs tailored for Lin Zhixuan according to his voice characteristics and vocal range width, which can completely allow Lin Zhixuan to play heartily and freely.
From a creative point of view, the second album "Yellow Ribbon" has taken a big step up from the first album "Admitting Mistakes", and Li Ji's songwriting talent has been irrepressibly stimulated.
In the next few years, Li Ji will create more and better works for Lin Zhixuan - works that are enough to go down in the history of the Taiwan Strait music scene. Such a powerful creator is certainly worthy of Ye Zi's attention, even if Li Ji's creation has nothing to do with the result of this award, even if Lin Zhixuan will become a heavyweight in the Taiwan Strait music scene in the future, but Ye Zi will still regard Li Ji as the real number one "enemy" in the group of "UK Li Lin".
Maybe deep down, this is due to Ye Zi's indescribable "inferiority" in creation.
……
Well...... Since we talked about Li Ji, let's say a few more words.
Li Ji did not systematically study music composition, he belongs to the kind of genius who is completely self-taught. The experience of choir as a teenager enlightened his musical talent, and at the same time, it also made Li Ji's future works full of the shadow of religious martyrdom, and also made Li Ji an artistic creator with extremely serious aesthetic and idealistic tendencies, very similar to Li Taixiang, the predecessor creator of the Taiwan Strait music scene.
Both of these people are aesthetes who seek perfection and truth, the kind of people who can go up without sleep for three days and three nights to find a solution to a certain lyric and melody matching problem. In order to find the best singer of "Olive Tree", Li Taixiang could put the manuscript of this song for seven or eight years, until he met Qi Yu, the destined singer.
Li Ji is also such a person.
Before he met Lin Zhixuan, he would rather completely hide his talent in the dust.
It's just that Li Taixiang became famous, and eventually became a figure in the Taiwan Strait music scene. And after the group "UK Li Lin" had to be broken up due to Lin Zhixuan's family reasons, Li Ji chose to retire after publishing an album of "A Li Ji", which is quite a bit of Boya's "broken piano and absolute strings".
Meeting Lin Zhixuan, who has a very talented voice, is the beginning of everything, which is Li Ji's luck - he finally found the person who can perfectly interpret his work, but at the same time, it is also the beginning of a tragedy.
Could it be that true genius has always been closely associated with tragedy? (To be continued.) )
