Chapter 71: Lyrics and Singing
PS: Ask for recommendations, ask for collections......
"You kid, it's my fault that I forgot about you because I was busy." Guo Zairong ignored Xu Hunxian's set, and was still ridiculing in the east and west.
"This is what you have wronged me, I am afraid that you will be tired." Xu Huixian knew that he must have something to find him, otherwise he would not have called in such a busy time, but since the other party didn't say it, it was not good for him to bring it up first, although he was very familiar, but he couldn't be polite.
"Come on, I think you forgot about me, don't you call me if I don't call? Really, you still call me brother. Faced with such a situation, Xu Hunxian could only smirk a few times.
There's no way, who makes him have an unshirkable responsibility, since he has concentrated on practicing, he has been concerned about fewer things, naturally, there are not many people to contact, except for those related to practice, nothing else.
Since the company arranged activities for him, he has never felt like this, and the time is so little, not reflected in the current time, but the preparation time planned in the future.
Maybe after saying that the mood is getting better and better, Guo Zairong is not ridiculing Xu Hunxian, but talking about today's purpose: "Now I know that I am losing, right?" Alright, let's get down to business, remember the tune your mother gave us? ”
Melody? Of course he remembered that piece, it was the first piece he composed independently, although there were still imperfections, but he was still very satisfied, and the unique meaning of that piece was related to a person, of course he would not forget. The most important thing is that this is his first song, everyone knows the Tao, and everyone has a special plot for the first time.
"Remember, what's wrong with Brother Rong? Is there anything wrong with that tune? Xu Hunxian wasn't afraid of anything wrong with that song, but he didn't know what Guo was doing mentioning it.
"It's not that there's something wrong." Guo Zairong paused, and then said: "That's the case, that song is really very good, we want to use it as the OST of this movie, but now the song has no lyrics, in line with the principle of not bothering the two masters, I want you to fill in the lyrics for him again, of course, we will calculate the cost of filling in the lyrics." ”
Xu Hunxian didn't expect this to be the case, this problem is not big, it's just that he doesn't know if the artistic conception he filled in can be compounded with this movie, if it is not filled in well, it will really smell big.
"In Brother Rong, it's not that I don't promise you, but I really don't know if the things filled in by Lu Dao can satisfy you." If there are any scruples in his heart, Xu Hunxian will say it, otherwise it will be even worse at that time.
"It's okay, if it's really bad, I can go to someone again, you can try it first, but it shouldn't take too long, hahaha." Since everything has come to this point, Xu Hunxian can only agree, in fact, he also understands that this is not only Guo Zairong's trust in him, but also an opportunity to give him exercise.
"By the way, since you have made your debut, if you fill in the lyrics of this song well, I will leave it to you to sing, so you have to work hard." After speaking, Guo Zairong hung up the phone.
Today's events are a little too sudden, Xu Hunxian turned off his mobile phone and sat there in a daze, now, he really doesn't have any ideas, but one thing is certain, tonight's practice is destined to be in vain.
After sitting for a while, Xu Hunxian got up to pack up his things, and then locked the door of the practice room, now he is not going back to the trainee dormitory, but to go to Yu Yongzhen's studio, where there is a relatively full set of music equipment, which should be very helpful for him to fill in the lyrics, and more importantly, it is quiet there, and he has the key, which was given to him by Yu Yongzhen, so that he can use it when he needs it, he didn't want it at first, but Yu Yongzhen forced it into him, and he took it, I felt that it was not very useful at the time, but I didn't expect it, This is where the opportunity to use this studio comes.
There are also trainees in the corridor, and the lights in the practice room are also on, at this time, not only he knows how to work hard, most people are, especially those who have been practicing for two or three years, the pressure is greater, the company has not recently launched a plan for debut artists, next time, and then wait for the last two or three years, however, the company has to recruit new practice rooms every year, and at that time, their debut pressure will be greater, so they can only stabilize their position among the trainees through continuous practice.
There are still people who can't stand it, they have chosen to quit the company and continue their studies or simply enter the society, they have spent their youth, and they can no longer continue to run on the road of not seeing tomorrow, they can only choose to give up, these people, not only have been practicing for a period of time, but also trainees in the same period as Xu Hunxian, there were almost fifty people, in just half a year, they have gone almost generally.
On the way, all the trainees he met would stand aside and say hello to him, although there were not many activities, but as an artist who had debuted, the treatment was naturally different. The studio is generally not used, this is a special place for Yu Yongzhen, few people come, turn on the light, and also close the door so that no one will disturb it.
The studio is not very big, but it is well-equipped, piano, drum kit, guitar, there are a lot of the same, however, Xu Hunxian is only proficient in the piano, and he doesn't know much about the rest.
didn't rush to fill in the lyrics, Xu Hunxian played the familiar song first, looking for a sense of musicality, and that unique situation. He named that piece "Ibelieve", so the name of the song, also called "Ibelieve", is a kind of hope, but also a kind of firmness, a determination for the future.
After composing that piece again, Xu Hunxian sat there, playing the piece over and over again, in fact, he didn't know where to start, he just wanted to play it over and over again, feeling the mood when he first created it.
Again, there is not much feeling, just like a normal tune, just play it out and enjoy the pleasure of the notes beating at your fingertips.
The second time, it didn't change much. The third time, it was the same as before, but unconsciously, the speed of plucking the keys with my hand slowed down, not because I suddenly became unproficient, but because I felt a little dull.
The fourth time, the speed of the hand slowed down again, and it became more rhythmic.
The fifth time, it was different from the previous one, and somehow, there was an atmosphere of sadness, which made people's hearts blocked and uncomfortable.
The sixth time, the feeling of sadness intensified, like a gloom, bleakness, and hopelessness.
But these are not the feelings that Xu Hunxian wants, nor is it the state when he created the music at that time, at that time, it was definitely not like this, although sad and miserable, but it was definitely not hopeless bleakness and despair, there was no way, only to continue playing, that state, only to find it, to complete the lyrics that match the music, in order to give full play to the full charm of this song.
Although the door of the studio is closed, and the sound insulation effect is very good, however, it is still impossible to prevent the notes from drifting out through the window, all the trainees today feel strange, vaguely hear a very good music playing non-stop, over and over again, never heard it, there was no one playing music before, just like this, and some people put music to practice dancing, but this kind of heavy metal music will only make people irritated, and now what they hear is a kind of tranquility.
The person who plays the piano is still repeating, but his repetition begins to be intermittent, intermittently, and when he is intermittent, he will write and draw on the paper he found, yes, through playing over and over again, Xu Hunxian finally found the feeling when he was composing, sadness, pain, and a little nostalgia, and later, the music expresses not only this feeling, but also expectation, hope, and faint firmness, which is why Xu Hunxian named this piece "Ibelieve" at that time, and not anything else, Although it has a parting and desolate artistic conception, there is also a beautiful fantasy for the future.
On the paper, a short paragraph of text has already appeared, and in the first paragraph, it is "Ibelieve", which sets the tone of the whole song.
Xu Hunxian was still playing over and over again, and the words on the paper gradually increased:
Ibelieve though you're not with me
But it doesn't mean parting
Ibelieve's way back to me
Just a little farther away
In the memories that have passed
I let my heart ache and tears
May you not cry like I can't stop crying
Don't leave me with tears in your eyes
I'm sure that sooner or later you'll come back to me
I'll wait for me only with you......
The music is still going on over and over again, Xu Hunxian is still writing and painting on the paper, dissatisfied, erased, and started a new line, the words can't reach the original artistic conception, or erased until he is satisfied with the position.
Unconsciously, the night gradually deepened, and the people who practiced in the company began to leave slowly because the time was not early, but, after they left, the beautiful piano music was still being played over and over again, with occasional pauses, but it didn't take long for them to come again, and after the last, all the trainees were gone, and the piano sound was still continuing, during which a security guard came to see it again, but noticed that it was the studio of the company's veteran Yu Yongzhen, so he didn't knock on the door. After waiting for a while, no one came out, so he locked the door of the company and went back.
It's not that he wants to lock people inside, but Yu Yongzhen once locked himself in the practice room overnight in order to write songs, and if he disturbed him, he might be in danger of being scolded.
At two o'clock in the morning, he finally filled in the lyrics he was satisfied with and wrote deeply, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't think of the right wording, he would have finished it a long time ago, but this is the first complete song he created, and it was Guo Zairong who gave him the opportunity, and he couldn't tolerate a little sloppiness, so it was really good until now.
When I was creating, I didn't feel a trace of fatigue because of my mental concentration, but now I am relaxed, and the tiredness is coming, and there is an irrepressible hunger. Because of this lyrics, he forgot to eat dinner, gave everything to Jessica and them, and he didn't keep it at all, and now the consequences are coming, but now, the most unbearable thing for him is tiredness.
The most tiring thing is not how long you exercise, but excessive use of your brain, Xu Hunxian is in this situation now, overdraft, there is no way, turn off the light, touch the sofa, Xu Hunxian fell asleep on it, as for not going back to the dormitory, whatever, wait until you wake up.
But because of this, he turned off his phone after making a phone call with Guo Zairong, and he didn't go back at night, his phone was blown up, and everyone was looking for him everywhere, of course, Xu Hunxian, who is sleeping now, naturally doesn't know what to do, and on the piano, there is still the result of tonight, and it took a long time to produce the latest single: "Ibelieve".
This is a lyrical song, and S.M's main K-pop is not a genre at all, what is it, and what kind of results will be achieved in the future, but it is known that he is the earliest work produced by Xu Hunxian, and it is also a song with an important position in his life.
