Chapter 625: Support
Take Remy. The "inverted leaf faction" led by Jin is now energetic.
They wrote articles and published them in newspapers and magazines, in addition to repeating their opinion that they were not optimistic about Ye Zi's new album, this time the No. 8 typhoon signal was also used by them as evidence. You see, even God is not optimistic about Ye Zi's album, otherwise how could it be so coincidental that the No. 8 typhoon signal "visited" Xiangjiang on the day of Ye Zi's album release?
This is obviously the rhythm that Ye Zi wants to lose!
In Xiangjiang, which is extremely superstitious about the metaphysics of feng shui, such a statement has a considerable market, and the music critics and reporters who support Ye Zi are helpless about it.
Just when the "Ting Ye School" felt frustrated, on the entertainment edition of "Cheng Pao" issued early in the morning of June 26, a signed comment written by a famous person in the Xiangjiang music scene that Ye Zi never thought of was "The Strong Voice of the Times-Ye Zi's New Album in My Eyes", which was from Mr. Ou Dingyu, a famous gold medal producer in Xiangjiang who had a relationship with Ye Zi and had always wanted to have a good chat with Ye Zi.
As soon as Mr. Ou's article came up, he said the following paragraph.
Mr. Ye Zi, a young singer from Shencheng, China, will officially release his new album on the 28th, but according to the prediction of the Observatory, Typhoon Signal No. 8 will also affect Hong Kong on the 28th. But I have decided that even if the storm hits Hong Kong that day, I will be there at the signing of Mr. Ye Zi's new album and send him my blessings.
This is a tribute to me, as a pure musician, to another pure musician, Mr. Ye Zi.
At the beginning of such an article, it immediately clearly showed the attitude of Mr. Ou Dingyu to Ye Zi.
This article is not aimed at Remy. Kim's four arguments are debated one by one, but they are aimed directly at Remy. Kim's criticism of the overall construction of Ye Zi's album in that article is a criticism of Remy. The core of King's article. From the perspective of an excellent producer, Mr. Ou specifically analyzed the overall concept of Ye Zi's album for readers.
said in the article.
I have listened to the sample disc of this album no less than ten times so far, Mr. Ye Zi's mature and perfect singing ability, and the excellence in song production I believe everyone already knows, so I will not repeat them one by one here. What impressed me the most was the overall structure of this album, and almost every time I listened to it, I would applaud Mr. Ye Zi's exquisite conception of the album, which is worth learning from those of us practitioners. I won't talk about things that are too professional, so I'll give you a brief analysis of the conceptual framework of Mr. Ye Zi's new album, that is, the order of the eleven songs.
The first song in the album is unexpected, not the well-known "I Wait for the Flowers to Thank You" Chinese version, but a song with very rich lyrics and smooth and pleasant melody creation "The Sound of the Waves Remains", followed by the second song "Late Autumn" still continues the rich Chinese classical charm. Such an opening is very unexpected, and it attracts my attention very much. The third song is the familiar Chinese version of "I Wait Until the Flowers Are Thanks", and after two songs with a classical Chinese charm, the appearance of such a hit song completely caters to the appetite of listeners who have been whipped up by the first two songs. Here, Mr. Ye Zi chose the electro-acoustic version of the orchestration, and I noticed that he particularly accentuated the timbre of the drum when arranging the music, so that the drum sound brought more shocking bass, and with Mr. Ye Zi's perfect and explosive singing, this song sounded very enjoyable.
Some people say that these three songs can't be pinched together, is that true?
I don't agree with that.
The melodic tendencies of these three songs are indeed markedly different, the first two songs are a little more archaic, and the third song is more modern. But stripped of the ancient charm of the first two songs, these three songs are actually very typical modern love songs, and they are all a kind of fusion creation in terms of melody, and there is no sense of dissonance when they are heard in series before and after. Mr. Ye Zi obviously noticed this aspect of the problem when arranging the music, so the arrangement ideas of these three songs are quite consistent, so that the same line has been inherited, and as an audience, of course, I don't think these three songs can't be pinched together. Instead, I think the release of these three songs in the first three episodes of the album is enough for fans who buy the album to love the album right away.
This pre-emptive performance is excellent, and the first three songs have already laid the foundation for the entire tone and success of this album. In my opinion, after the first three songs, the album is more than half successful.
The next two songs are still in the category of modern love songs, but they belong to that kind of "small song" in terms of song pattern, and the taste of the songs is relatively tranquil, and there are no big ups and downs in melody and rhythm. This is just like you don't need to continue to eat big meat after eating big fish and meat, this kind of quiet song is the dessert after a big meal.
For an album, this is a very suitable transition, and it is perfect to soothe the rhythm of listening to the song.
After the transition, there will definitely be another wave of Gao Chao, the sixth song, Mr. Ye Zi chose the most unique style of this album "Jiangnan Road", to be honest, I personally like it very, very, very much! The rhythm of three beats, the slightly shaking jazz piano, the two violins with jumping melodies on the march, and the silky supple and smooth ...... The combination of lyrics and melody, singing and orchestration is extremely ingenious, and in my opinion this is an unbeatable masterpiece!
For an album, after listening to five love songs with different charms, the sudden change of song style can be refreshing, and at the same time, such a style change can also attract more fans to the album. You must know that not everyone likes to listen to Pop/song all the time, and there are definitely many jazz lovers in Hong Kong, such as I am one of them.
It's a very clever arrangement, and with such a careful design, the album immediately raised the level in my heart by more than one level.
The next few songs belong to the regular arrangement, and the quality of these works selected by Mr. Ye Zi is also above the standard, and they can be used as title songs by other singers, but they are not very eye-catching in this album.
The final unplugged version of the album, "I'll Wait for the Flowers and Thank You", sounds to me like a cup of black coffee served after dinner, and all the "greasy" that I just ate before is completely eliminated in this cup of black coffee.
A well-conceived and well-designed solo singing album is like writing an article, and it also needs to be the best for the dragon's head, pork belly, and phoenix tail. I think Mr. Ye Zi's upcoming solo album is such an album.
In addition to the above-mentioned clever arrangement of the album's conception, the style of Mr. Yip's album is the most special thing that sets it apart from other albums.
In my opinion, this is not an album with magnificent waves, ups and downs and momentum, it feels more like a babbling river, with the occasional splash, more often than not, it just flows quietly, quietly transporting you into its world. Listening to an album like this won't make you feel emotional, excited, or even tearful, but the kind of classical temperament and elegance that permeates your bones, if you can savor it, will accompany you for the rest of your life.
That's what appeals to me most about this album.
……
As soon as Mr. Ou Dingyu's article was published, it immediately aroused great repercussions among readers in Hong Kong. Relative to Remy. For a music critic like Kim, Mr. Ou's review article with obvious personal tendencies has won great recognition and support from readers, and the reason is the word "professional". Remy. Although Jin is a professional music critic, Mr. Ou Dingyu is one of the famous gold medal producers in the Xiangjiang music scene, and he has become popular with many Xiangjiang singers, including Chen Huixian and Xue Youge.
This is what people do, and for Hong Kong readers this is the real profession, and his views are extremely convincing, even if they are clearly personal. After Mr. Ou's article was published, Ye Zi could not find the field from music critics and reporters, but found it among the readers of Hong Kong. (To be continued.) )
