Ye Zi smiled slightly, this level was finally passed.

Don't look at Brother Xue You, who sat on the side just now and didn't say anything, that's because what Ye Zi said was to the point, even if he wanted to refute it, he couldn't start, if Ye Zi found something to talk about, you would see if Brother Xue You'd open his mouth to debate. After so many years, even from the perspective of a singer, Brother Xue You, who is also able to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of an album. I know that what Ye Zi just said directly points to the biggest drawback of the first four Chinese albums, and at such a critical time, Brother Xue You will never jump out to argue with Ye Zi for a little face problem.

That's a pointless thing.

On the contrary, Brother Xue Youge is very happy that Ye Zi can clearly grasp the disadvantages of the first four Chinese albums, which means that after Ye Zi takes over, it is very likely to avoid such problems and bring himself a truly breakthrough Chinese album.

That's all that matters.

Compared with these possible gains, even if he lost a little face in Ye Zi's analysis just now, Brother Xue Youyou was willing.

"Xiao Yezi, do you have any thoughts on Qizai's next Chinese album?" Ou Dingyu asked with a smile: "Of course, it is unrealistic for you to come up with a mature plan now, you might as well talk about it casually, and we will discuss it together." ”

"That's right, Xiao Yezi, your analysis just now made me very shameless," Brother Xue You also smiled: "This is not good, you have to help me plan to compensate me, and you have to help me write a few songs." ”

"Xiaobao, are you right?"

Ou Dingyu pursed his lips slightly: "Right for what?" Qizai, did I remind you of what Xiao Yezi just said? You didn't listen to me then, but now you know that you want me to help you? It's impossible! ”

"Xiao Yezi, let's talk about ours, don't worry about him. I'm really interested in hearing your thoughts, so let's talk about it. ”

Ou Dingyu's tone was full of "revenge". Feel.

Ye Zi snickered in his heart.

In his previous life, Ye Zi learned from the media that Ou Dingyu was a weirdo who lived in a simple place, didn't like to show up, and had a lot of quirks. But judging from the recent contact, Ou Dingyu has any quirks, he just keeps a little distance when he contacts unfamiliar people, and he can't talk to people who are not professional. When you are not familiar with this person, although you look very polite, but it seems a little indifferent, but after getting acquainted, you can find that he is actually a very friendly, very kind and worthy friend.

Of course, there must be a premise for this, whether it is singing, production or instrumental music performance in the professional aspect, you must have something that you can handle, and Ou Dingyu will look at you differently. Just like Ye Zi's good friend Tang Nu, he has a very good relationship with Ou Dingyu, and many of the albums supervised by Ou Dingyu are performed by Tang Nu to complete the drum kit, and sometimes help arrange the music.

In Ye Zi's view, Ou Dingyu is actually a person with a very simple personality, with the unique "quirks" of an artist.

Ignoring Brother Xue You, who was sitting on the side, with an "aggrieved" expression, Ye Zi restrained his smile and said seriously: "Brother Xiaobao, Brother Xue You, I haven't thought carefully about how to make this album yet, but there are a few things that I think can be determined now." ”

"The first point is that this album must still be a love song album, which is the most suitable genre for Brother Xue to play, but you can consider adding one or two songs that jump out of the scope of love songs, such as the inspirational genre, which will make the whole album richer in content."

"Well, that's for sure." Ou Dingyu and Brother Xue nodded at the same time, this is the most normal choice.

"The second point is that the overall style of the album revolves around warmth and affection, which is also more in line with the image of Brother Xueyou. Don't make it too cold and miserable, that style type is not very flattering after Wang Jie, and Brother Xueyou's style is not suitable for being more alternative and extreme, so on the basis of the normal love song style, it should be the most extensive to make a more warm and affectionate style adaptation. Ye Zi immediately said the second thought.

This is not something that can be said casually.

This requires a strong grasp of Brother Xueyou's style, and at the same time, a clear understanding of the popular situation in the market. Once the warm and soulful style, or album style, or album tone, is established, it lays a solid foundation for the whole album.

Seeing that the other two people didn't react immediately, Ye Zi thought for a while and continued to explain: "Brother Xueyou's previous four albums all started from the point of affection, whether it is "Love", "In the Heart of My Heart" and "Déjà vu", they are all such a tone, but these works stop at the point of affection, fail to dig deep, and do a bit half-step, that is to say, they can't fully do it. ”

"There are reasons for the song itself, and there are reasons for the overall idea of the album's production, but I think the starting point of 'soulful' itself is not a problem."

"So this time the album I think we still have to continue to dig from the point of affection, and completely dig out the taste of 'affectionate good man' in Brother Xueyou, I believe it will definitely impress fans, especially fans in the Taiwan Strait. Songs and albums with the label of 'affectionate' in the Taiwan Strait market are selling very well, just like Zhang Hongliang's "Do You Know I'm Waiting for You", and Brother An's "Actually, You Don't Understand My Heart" are all like this, of course, we can also learn from this situation. ”

"On the basis of affection, we add a layer of warm auxiliary characteristics to this album, so that the target group will be more extensive, and it is also very in line with Brother Xueyou's singing characteristics, his voice and singing style itself have both affectionate and warm characteristics, we just need to give it to the extreme."

"Brother Xueyou, Brother Xiaobao, this is what I think."

Explained his thoughts very confidently, Ye Zi was about to pour himself some tea, and after talking for so long, his mouth was a little dry.

One hand took the teapot.

"Come on, come on, drink some tea to moisten your throat." Brother Xue You's face was full of smiles, he picked up the teapot and poured a full teacup for Ye Zi, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yezi, I like the 'warm and affectionate' tone you said." ”

"Xiaobao, what do you think?"

"Well, there is no problem with setting the tone of the album this way, I agree with it, this is indeed the best and best way for Qizai, and Chinese albums should go like this." Ou Dingyu frowned slightly: "But the most critical part of the problem is not in the determination of the tone, but how to use the right song to reflect the tone." Just like Xiao Yezi just said, how to fully tap the characteristic of affection. ”

"Little leaf, how are you going to achieve this goal?" Ou Dingyu's question goes straight to the core.

The tone is set, and how to achieve it is the most critical step.

If it can be realized, the tone can be established in advance to reflect the effect, and if it cannot be realized, no matter how well the tone is set, it is just a castle in the air.

Ou Dingyu's question was completely to the point.

"Then it depends on the specific songs to achieve it, including the lyrics and melody to this tone." Ye Zixiong has a success: "Especially in the selection of the title song, it must be able to fully reflect this tone." Brother Xiaobao, Brother Xueyou, this is the third point I want to say. ”

"The title song of this album will be the top priority, the key to success or failure, and you must choose it carefully. Brother Xiaobao, Brother Xueyou, we can act separately, I will help Brother Xueyou create a few songs here, you can also mobilize PG's resources, and find some excellent works to choose from. ”

Ou Dingyu nodded, but his brows were still slightly furrowed: "It's no problem, but ...... They used to do the same thing, but it didn't seem to work very well. ”

"Brother Xiaobao, time has passed, we don't need to discuss the past, there are always various reasons for success or failure. I believe things are man-made! What they couldn't do before, we don't necessarily can't do now. Ye Zi's heart was full of confidence.

At this moment, Ou Dingyu finally stretched his brows and laughed.

"That's right, Xiaoyezi, then let's join forces, you and I will help, and we will work together to create a successful Chinese album for Qizai."

"How about Xiaoyezi, take me to play?" (To be continued.) )
