Chapter 346: The layout of Xu Nuo's new album
Xu Nuo usually sings seriously, and when she expresses her feelings seriously, her singing voice can form a very pure magnetic field, which is very attractive, which Du Xinghe understands. But now, Xu Nuo just plays the piano and hums songs casually, and he can be so moving, which is beyond Du Xinghe's expectations.
Xu Nuo thought that Du Xinghe was sleeping again, boiling porridge, and she didn't do anything, so she continued to enjoy the guitar of the Yuqin Workshop and practiced her singing skills.
The timbre of this guitar from the Imperial Piano Workshop is too mellow, much higher than the Haima brand guitar she used before, and the more Xu Nuo plays, the more she likes it.
After singing "South China Sea Girl", another retro old song "What Do You Say" written by Du Xinghe at the same time as "South China Sea Girl" came to her mind. She put this song "What Do You Say" on the girl in red on the beach again, and began a new background story depiction.
In her simple little head, Du Xinghe's poem "What Do You Say" was written for those wine girls in the old days, just now she thought of the girl in red as an innocent girl in the South China Sea, and now she imagined the girl as a wine girl, such a gap, so that she feels funny when she thinks about it.
But this is not the point, the point is that she heard Du Xinghe sing this song "What Do You Say", at that time, Du Xinghe used magical kneading skills to pop the guitar's high-pitched strings out of the guzheng feeling, super powerful, she studied with Du Xinghe for a long time before learning to imitate the guzheng with the guitar.
At this moment, she got such a precious guitar from the Imperial Piano Workshop, and she also wanted to show off her piano skills, so she twisted the thinnest treble string and simulated the playing of the guzheng.
The high note of this guitar in the Imperial Piano Workshop is very light and beautiful, and the sound of the guzheng is broken by kneading the strings. It looks particularly crisp, and the onomatopoeia effect is better than the guitar of the Seahorse she used before.
After a few plays, Xu Nuo showed an expression of enjoyment, her eyes were closed, and she blended into the quaint situation compiled by the "Guzheng", and she learned from Du Xinghe to hum this playful song - "What Do You Say".
……
I haven't forgotten you, I forgot me~
You even said the name wrong~
Prove that you are lying to me for everything~
Look what you say today~
……
You said you would come to see me in two days~
The first wait is more than a year~
Three hundred and sixty-five days are not good~
You don't have me in your heart at all~
Give me back my aiqing~
……
After Du Xinghe imitated the sound of the guzheng with Xu Nuo on the guitar, he knew that Xu Nuo was going to sing this song "What Do You Say". This song, co-created by Shangguan Yue and Sima Liang, is also a classic in the previous plane. Even after listening to it for 90 years, it is still very pleasant to listen to.
The melody of this song is very tactful and beautiful, to say the composers of the older generation. In the treatment of the composition. The technique is usually very delicate, and each song is as if it has been given a soul, which is far more enduring and moving than the songs poured out of the industrial assembly line in later generations.
However, although this song is classic, Xu Nuo sings it in general. doesn't have the wonderful picture sense of singing "South Sea Girl" just now. I guess this song didn't form a picture in her own mind. So it's not very contagious.
Du Xinghe can imagine that if Fang Yajun hums this song "What Do You Say" instead, it will definitely be very moving. Because Fang Yajun's grasp of tactful singing is far more exquisite than Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo is still suitable for singing songs that she sings with feelings, just like "The Girl of the South Sea". She can't control all the singing paths like Fang Yajun, she is completely a god-level existence of female singers.
After listening to "What Do You Say", Du Xinghe recalled the song "South China Sea Girl" that Xu Nuo just sang, and didn't listen to Xu Nuo's piano skills, he recalled the memory of Xu Nuo's singing "South China Sea Girl" just now in his mind, and closed his eyes and revisited Xu Nuo's "South China Sea Girl".
……
The coconut wind stirs up the silver waves~
The sunset dodges the clouds and peeks~
See the golden sand on the beach~
Sits alone with a beautiful girl~
……
The eyes are starry~
The eyebrows are like a crescent moon bent ~
Wearing a red sarong~
It's as red as the betel nut on her mouth~
……
She's sighing~
Sigh that ruthless lang~
Thinking of tears~
Wet red sarongs and white clothes~
……
Ah~South Sea Girl~
Why be too sad~
He was only sixteen and a half years old~
The old dream is lost and there is a new couple as a companion~
……
The picture and singing in the memory playback are so moving, Xu Nuo holds the guitar and sings "South China Sea Girl" in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, warm and picturesque, reflecting the golden sand and waves in the background, the beautiful picture can shoot the MV!
Du Xinghe has decided that he must add this "South Sea Girl" to Xu Nuo's new album! This song can be said to be the song that Xu Nuo sang the most touching song in addition to "Crazy for Love"!
In Du Xinghe's picky ears, singers are divided according to the degree of touching, texture, and singing skills of their singing, and they are divided into many grades, the highest is S, that is, a natural singer, and the lowest is D, that is, a passerby-level singer. The A, B, and C singers in the middle are the top star (A), star (B), and ordinary (C) respectively.
Xu Nuo's voice and singing skills, at first, in Du Xinghe's ears, could only be given a "C" level at most, that is, an ordinary level that is stronger than passers-by.
However, after such a long time of training, as well as the strengthening of the advantage of "clean timbre" in his singing characteristics, Xu Nuo's current level should be able to reach the star level of "B" or "B-" level.
If he plays well, Xu Nuo can sing "B+", or even the level of "A" top stars.
In the new album, Xu Nuo's interpretation of "Crazy for Love" is definitely at the "A" level, but it has not yet released the super appeal of "A+" level in "Little Bird".
Of course, this also has to do with the song itself.
"Crazy for Love" itself is not as powerful and touching as "Little Bird", so no matter how good she plays, she may not be able to sing "Little Bird" as touching.
However, the appeal of this "South China Sea Girl" itself is average. This song is just a tactful little song, without the overwhelming expression of strong feelings, and the impact on people's hearts is relatively weak.
But Xu Nuo's interpretation of "The South Sea Girl", Du Xinghe can give her a high score of "A-" grade! I thought she really sang a beautiful picture! This has nothing to do with the fact that she is in a very beautiful background picture, Du Xinghe only analyzes it objectively from the perspective of singing, without subjective bonus points for her lover, and can also give Xu Nuo a high score of "A-" for this song!
If Xu Nuo can play this level in the new album, then this "South Sea Girl" will definitely become a particularly pleasant classic in her new album, and the more people listen to it, the more comfortable they feel!
Come to think of this. Du Xinghe revisited the songs in Xu Nuo's new album. And repositioned the songs.
The song ranked first in the sequence of Xu Nuo's new album is not the title song of the same name as the album "Crazy for Love", but the second title song of the album "When Love is Approaching".
There are quite a few albums in production that don't put the strongest title song in the first track. It's like composing. Most songs don't climax as soon as they come up. Instead, first attract people with a catchy melody. Then gradually lead to the climax, so that the listener will sound more unfinished.
Xu Nuo's new album Du Xinghe adopts such a production strategy, first the second title "When Love is Approaching". Let the fans enjoy a sweet feeling of aiqing approaching first. This album is actually a sweet aiqing, starting from this song, step by step closer to the hearts of fans.
As far as Du Xinghe's understanding and grasp of Xu Nuo is concerned, he believes that Xu Nuo can sing the second main level of "B+" for "When Love is Approaching", just like in the Youth Star Song Competition.
This song is put first, and it is also on the topic, telling everyone that the urban aiqing style of this album is completely different from the inspirational style of Xu Nuo's first single album "Little Bird".
After the sweetness of "When Love is Approaching", the second song that Du Xinghe selected for Xu Nuo to enter the album was "The More Love, the More Beautiful" in the album "All Night" by Liu Ruoying in the previous plane.
This song is not particularly classic, but with a sound quality similar to that of Liu Ruoying, Du Xinghe believes that Xu Nuo can sing this song with a "B-" to "B" level of touching.
At the same time, this song "The More Love, the More Beautiful" and the first song "When Love is Approaching" also have a certain correlation, which is also about the joy of girls when Aiqing is approaching.
The words of the climactic passage: "Little by little, step by step, I found myself; Day by day, single-minded determination, more and more beautiful......" and "When Love is Approaching" completely echoes.
After the foreshadowing of two B-grade songs, Du Xinghe released a heavy punch in the third song, the "A" grade title "Crazy for Love"!
After two sweet hot scenes, Du Xinghe believes that Xu Nuo's "Crazy for Love" will definitely make the audience listen to the enthusiasm!
After the finishing touch of the whole album "Crazy for Love", the fourth song arranged by Du Xinghe for Xu Nuo is also an unremarkable "Others" in the previous Liu Ruoying's "All Night" album.
This song "Others" is the first challenge in this album for Xu Nuo, if this song is sung well, Du Xinghe feels that it should be able to reach the high level of "B" or even "B+", which is quite a healing effect. But Xu Nuo's performance of this song, Du Xinghe is not so satisfied, or it may be that Xu Nuo's state was not very good before going abroad, so when he sings, Du Xinghe can only give an ordinary level of "C" to "C+".
If you want to talk about the connotation of this song, Xu Nuo can't figure it out more now, because this is a girl falling in love with someone who shouldn't be loved, and Zuihou suddenly woke up.
Just look at this lyric: "Weishenme I want to be brave, I see loss too simply, I know that you have someone else in your heart, why I refuse to admit it; I thought that ignoring it was the fastest process to forget you, and the tears ~ were unbearable than I imagined......"
This kind of relationship is more difficult for Xu Nuo to grasp than "Hit a Key for You".
The reason why Du Xinghe chose such a song to put behind "Crazy for Love" is mainly because "Crazy for Love" also has a bit of wrong love. In particular, the background of the creation of this song "Crazy for Love" in the last plane is completely written for a woman who falls in love with a married man who should not be loved. After the release of this bitter feeling, he arranged a song "Others" that woke up, and Du Xinghe felt that it was just right.
After the release of the emotions of the previous song, this calming "Others" can also pull the direction of the whole album violently back to an average level.
After "Others", Du Xinghe arranged a calmer aiqing sketch "The Beginning of Man" for Xu Nuo, after a rollercoaster journey in the first four songs, the woman who was heartbroken and woke up thought of the heart-warming feeling when she was in love at the beginning, so there was this song "The Beginning of Man" that recalls her first love.
Du Xinghe listened to Xu Nuo sing this song a few times, he felt that Xu Nuo sang well, he could give a "B-" level, and he had nothing to find fault with this song, this is not the focus of the album, as long as there is an average "B-" level.
In the first half of the album, Du Xinghe laid out Xu Nuo according to the process of aiqing, and in the second half, the layout began to follow the rhythm of the song.
After experiencing two more slightly bland songs, in the sixth song, Du Xinghe played Xu Nuo's very experienced "Dear, Why Are You Not by My Side". (To be continued......)
