Chapter 190: Contradictions
got the demo of "The Title Song of Love" from Ding Ning, and after listening to it, An Keqing's brows furrowed tightly.
The rhythm and arrangement of this song are good, but overall, it is not to her liking.
Especially in terms of lyrics, compared with the "Mandala" written to her by He Shuntong before, which was also prepared in advance to be used as the title song, it is simply one day and one place.
"Mandala" has a beautiful connotation, while "The Title Song of Love" is impetuous and scattered, as if it was written and put together casually, and the content is very incoherent, making her feel like she is perfunctory.
Putting aside "Mandala", comparing Ding Ning's previous "Mo" and "If You Have Heard" to Li Yixian, "The Title Song of Love" is completely inferior, and the quality is 108,000 miles worse than the previous two songs, which is very different.
Is this Ding Ning's intention?
In An Keqing's opinion, it is obviously not.
This song follows the dance music style of "Not Afraid, Not Afraid", but in all aspects, it is inferior to "Not Afraid, Not Afraid".
She showed the sincerity of the title song, but Ding Ning gave her such a song, and she was very disappointed.
However, she did not immediately reject Ding Ning's song, she had already rejected Ding Ning's song once, and if she refused again this time, the relationship between her and Ding Ning would undoubtedly freeze.
The earth rotates the same way away from everyone, and she didn't feel that she had to let Ding Ning write a song for her, but Ding Ning's results were there, even if she felt that this song was completely unqualified to be her title song, for all reasons, she didn't make a decision right away, and wanted to think about it again.
Thinking about coming, thinking about going, one can't make up one's mind. She decided to show the song to her producer Guo Qiyue and hear what he had to say.
Guo Qiyue likes to soak in the production room when he has nothing to do. An Keqing took a copy of "The Title Song of Love" and found Guo Qiyue. urged Guo Qiyue to listen to "The Title Song of Love".
Guo Qiyue was busy, but An Keqing was the biggest name in Baishi, so he had to put down the work at hand and help An Keqing listen to the song first.
"That's a good dance music, where did you get it?"
Contrary to An Keqing's feeling that this song was terrible, Guo Qiyue was completely attracted after listening to the prelude, and after continuing for a while, he became more and more convinced that this was a rare good song. At least good dance music.
To his ears, the rhythm of "The Title Song of Love" is so strong that it bursts the table, and the dynamic rhythm of 4/4 beats allows it to fit harmoniously with the beating speed of the heart.
Moreover, the use of various dance elements in this song is very good, and it is full and bright. And not cumbersome.
There are a lot of dance music in the Chinese music world, but there are not many who can grasp the essence of dance music, and Sun Xi's behind-the-scenes team is undoubtedly the strongest dance music production team in China. In his opinion, this song is completely at the level of "No_problem", which made Sun Xi an instant hit, and it couldn't be more punctual.
I can write such a song. He is definitely a master of dance music, and he wants to know where An Keqing got this song.
He guessed that it should be Sun Xi's royal team.
After all. An Keqing and Li Yixian have always had a good relationship, and Sun Xi is Li Yixian's fellow disciple. Helping An Keqing ask Sun Xi for a song is completely within the relationship.
An Keqing didn't go back to Guo Qiyue's question directly, but frowned and asked, "Is this song good?" ”
Seeing that An Keqing's tone and expression were full of doubts, Guo Qiyue felt a little incredible: "Do you think this song is bad?" ”
Without waiting for An Keqing to speak, he said again: "From my personal point of view, this song is completely at the level of "No_problem" from all aspects, and it should be the best work in dance music, I thought you asked Sun Xi for it, didn't you?" ”
An Keqing shook her head: "No, it was written by Ding Ning." ”
"Not Afraid, Not Afraid" has not diminished in popularity so far, and it is still competing with "Mo" on various platforms, which is completely a model of annual dance music, and Guo Qiyue agrees with Ding Ning's skills in dance music.
As soon as I heard An Keqing say that "The Title Song of Love" was written by Ding Ning, it was even more strange that there was such a standard, but An Keqing turned out to be disagreeing with this song, Guo Qiyue asked curiously: "Then what do you think is wrong with this song?" ”
"The lyrics are bad." An Keqing replied.
Guo Qiyue was stunned when he heard this: "I didn't pay much attention to the lyrics, this song must be top-notch in terms of melody arrangement and rhythm, let me look at the lyrics." ”
As far as the feeling of audition is concerned, I don't think there is anything wrong with the lyrics, and I don't know what An Keqing means when this is not good, after speaking, Guo Qiyue studied the lyrics of "The Title Song of Love" with doubts.
After careful study, he found that if the lyrics of "The Title Song of Love" were taken out separately, it was indeed not very good as An Keqing said.
But listen to it together with the song, this somewhat messy lyrics are particularly for the taste of the song, there is no abruptness at all, and it is very smooth to the ear, which completely complements the song.
The lyrics of dance music have always been difficult to write, because dance music is one of the most rhythmic music classifications, and special attention is paid to the mediocrity of the lyrics.
In recent years, the number of Chinese dance music can be said to have shown an explosive trend, but there are very few that are really popular, and one of the big reasons is that the lyrics are not tasteful and they can't sing rhythmically.
From the point of view of Pingxuan, the lyrics of "The Title Song of Love" are perfect, listening to the singing of the female singer in the demo, the Pingxuan of this word perfectly fits the rhythm, and the four-tone rhyme is above the sense of rhythm, and the strength is also reflected, which is quite professional.
As for the content of the lyrics, there is indeed a little lacking, but this deficiency, in his opinion, is not a problem.
No matter what kind of music genre it is, for the sake of mediocrity, rhyme, etc., it is very common for even a popular song to have flaws in the lyrics.
On the other hand, in order to reflect the content of the lyrics, hot songs with big problems with flat rhyme feet also abound.
There are very few songs in this world that can achieve perfect lyrics and songs, and they can't be too demanding.
Especially for a theme that is difficult to compose lyrics, such as dance music, it can't be too harsh.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with the lyrics of "The Title Song of Love".
After listening to it a few more times, I feel that driven by the melody, this seemingly scattered word has a sense of progression, just like the lyrics say "never get tired of listening to it is good evidence", the more he listened, the more he felt that this song had to be worthy of this word.
There will be such a situation, he can only say that it is entirely because Ding Ning's personal skills are too strong, and he has achieved the unity of lyrics and songs.
This also made him admire Ding Ning more and more in his heart, and it was not easy to have such skills at a young age.
An Keqing will think that this word is not good, Guo Qiyue thinks that it is purely because the songs He Shuntong wrote for her are very delicate and gorgeous words.
But the dance music is essentially a saliva song, and the lyrics are written in a serious scripture, but they are nondescript. The lyrics of "The Title Song of Love", when placed in the dance music, are already very good, at least there is no saliva to An Keqing to sing it.
That is, An Keqing is not from a dance music background, and she doesn't know enough about dance music, so she has such an opinion.
"There's nothing wrong with that." After studying it many times, the more he studied, the more he disagreed with An Keqing's opinion, Guo Qiyue smiled and analyzed the lyrics of "The Title Song of Love" and An Keqing.
After listening to Guo Qiyue's analysis, An Keqing felt that what he said made sense, the lyrics of this song were indeed not as scattered as they appeared on the surface, and they were quite harmonious.
But she is still worried that using "The Title Song of Love" as the title song of her new album is inappropriate and risky.
is also a dance music, "Not Afraid, Not Afraid" can be popular, that is because the song is good and catchy. But "The Title Song of Love", the song is still passable, and in terms of words, Guo Qiyue said that there is no problem, that is, it is just qualified. In her eyes, aside from the scatteredness, the other shortcomings of this word are also obvious, neither easy to remember, nor excellent, how can it be popular?
You must know that she is going to the back of the new album, so she has to ensure both album sales and song quality.
And whether it is sales or quality, she is not very optimistic about "The Title Song of Love".
Her ideal song is "Silence", not this flashy dance music.
Immediately, she fell into contradiction again.
With or without "The Title Song of Love", it is really difficult for her to choose.
Seeing An Keqing's entanglement, Guo Qiyue thought for a while and said, "That's good, call everyone over, and everyone raise their hands to vote." ”
There is nothing to do, An Keqing thought for a while, nodded in agreement: "Okay." ”
Guo Qiyue quickly summoned everyone in the production team of An Keqing's new album, and after playing "The Title Song of Love" to everyone a few times, he raised his hand to vote, and the result was three abstentions, two votes in favor, and three votes against.
Abstention itself is more biased towards disfavorability, and if there is one more vote against it, it will naturally not be adopted.
It seems that she can only reject this song, and An Keqing is very entangled in her heart.
This is a song that she invited all the way to Shenshi, and she has put great expectations and a lot of painstaking efforts.
But in the end, she still refused to sing, she was really sorry for herself, and it was not easy to talk to Ding Ning.
There is also a compromise method, which is to tell Ding Ning euphemistically that this song is not suitable for her, and I hope he can understand and help write another song that is more suitable for her.
However, no matter how she said it, she rejected Ding Ning's song, and she couldn't say such a request herself.
Unspeakable things can only be handed over to others, and as soon as Li Hui heard that she was going to call Ding Ning to refuse the song again, her whole face turned into a bitter gourd face.
Miss, it's still a refusal to mess around, why did you run to Shen City so impulsively to ask for a song.
In case a song is still not suitable, do you still have to sing blackface, but spare her.
It's a pity that as an assistant, she has to carry the black pot and send her to death, no matter how reluctant she is, she can only call Ding Ning.
Fortunately, Ding Ning just changed her number, and she didn't have Ding Ning's new number, so she could only contact Ding Ning's assistant Ma Chu.
Through Ma Chu to say this, it would be much easier to explain, but I don't know how Ding Ning will react when he learns about it. (To be continued......)
