Chapter 294: See You Again
can mix to the king level in the European and American music scenes.
Michael's musical talent is naturally very rebellious.
He has Filipino ancestry, and his vocal cord structure is also different from ordinary people, with both high-pitched and thick dynamics, and his timbre is scattered, dark, muddy and hoarse.
Don't look at Michael's "sassy ~ full of anger" on stage, but in fact, his singing style is very unpretentious, and the voice change is only the most basic control of strength and weakness.
But Michael's sense of musicality is very strong, Leng is to turn decay into magic, condense the large and scattered treble into a unique "burst sound" texture, and deduce his original unpretentious voice into a dull and explosive high-quality sound effect.
This is exactly the reason why Gu Cheng thinks that he does not belong to the technical stream, but is a talented stream singer.
As a king of European and American pop, Michael is involved in a wide range of pop fields, and likes to challenge various new genres and style mix-and-match.
His next album is a musical mess.
The song Gu Cheng wrote to him last time was the golden song "Uptow" by Brother Mars and Mark Rosen
Fu
kγγ
The song has a mixed style of Fu
K, R&B, and Pop, which are unprecedentedly popular in the UK, won the 58th Grammy Music Awards for Production of the Year, Best Pop Group/Collaboration.
And this time, Gu Cheng chose hip-hop and the pop hit "See You Agai".
γγ
The song is sung by Broken Eyebrow and Wiz Califa in memory of Paul Walker, the actor of the "Fast and Furious" film series who passed away unexpectedly.
As a world-renowned top IP theme song, the song topped the music charts of more than 20 countries including Country Y as soon as it was released, and won the championship on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for a total of 12 weeks, sweeping various overseas awards.
Although this song was written in honor of Paul Walker, it deeply touched many people, and it will not stop at the level of remembering Paul Walker.
Almost every time a star dies.
This song carries the long-cherished wish of the group, and was elected by the people as a commemorative hymn, which set off various mourning activities, and "See You Agai."
is the center of the whole event.
Gu Cheng occasionally thinks of friends who accompanied him to watch Super 7 and left after listening to this song together.
And those who meet, those who betray, those who miss, and those who don't want to remember again......
The past has long been a matter of fact.
But this song has always remained in the depths of Gu Cheng's memory.
"Gu Cheng, the melody of your song is so well written!"
"The lyrics are also very good, especially touching!"
Gu Cheng explained: "This song itself is written about brotherhood, used to commemorate and pay tribute to friends. β
Gu Cheng doesn't have many friends here in Europe and the United States, and Michael is one of them.
His first album "Golden Years" was made famous in Europe and the United States by Michael, and the second album "Storm" was also successfully launched in Europe and the United States under Michael's maneuvering.
Gu Cheng has always remembered this favor.
"Michael, would you like to sing this song alone or join me in it?"
"That's definitely going to be singing together!"
Michael quipped: "The popularity of the two of you in Europe and the United States is now higher than mine, and I have to rub this heat on the other?" β
Su Qi had to remind Michael.
"Don't forget that we are now being banned by the European and American fashion circles, and we have also offended many top artists."
"Aren't you afraid of being implicated because of this?"
Michael blurted out: "What are you afraid of?" You're doing this kind of cool thing, okay? β
Su Qi: "......"
She was sloppy!
Europe and the United States have always advocated free speech and bombarded the general To
G is all commonplace.
The audience has low moral requirements for celebrities.
It's like taking ~ drugs and cheating, which may be disgusted by some people, but it is far from the level that Wanfu refers to.
Not to mention those black~ singers who have robbed and sucked D since childhood, these moral stains have become cooler labels on them.
Although Gu Cheng and Su Qi have no resources in the fashion circle, their reputation in Europe and the United States has risen.
Not only has it increased by millions of followers because of this, but even the comment area has been cleaned up a lot.
Su Qi was irrefutable, so he had to change the topic.
"This song, how are you two going to divide the work?"
"I've thought about this for a long time."
Although the song is more widely circulated in the slow part.
But in fact, the rap of the chorus is the lead singer and the finishing touch of this song.
And Gu Cheng feels that Michael's unique voice is more suitable for interpreting the rap part of this song.
"How about I'll sing the lyrical part of the front, and leave the rap part of the chorus for you?"
Michael shrugged his shoulders and was completely fine, "OK! β
Once the preparations are ready.
The two of them began to record officially.
Other singers are as steady as CDs.
Gu Cheng has always been a man walking on a CD.
It can be said that he is comfortable with this song, and his singing skills and emotions are completely free.
The performance is as stable as ever.
βIt's bee

Without the company of friends, the days are really long,

β¦β¦
It turned out that Gu Cheng was right.
Su Qi, who was listening, nodded secretly.
Gu Cheng's timbre is ethereal and clear, and the penetrating power of his voice is the best in the world, and his interpretation of this emotionally rich song is even more infectious.
And Michael's explosive voice and unique vocal charm, as well as his strong musicality, are also perfectly played in the rap of this song.
With full emotion, he gave "See You Agai
The rap gives a different kind of tension.

β¦β¦
Both of them are powerful singers.
The recording process went surprisingly smoothly.
After only a few recordings, the two finished recording the song.
After the recording, they filmed the MV in Las Vegas by the way.
Las Vegas was originally a city built on the desert, except for the core city, the surrounding area is basically a barren desert, and the mountain off-road vehicle galloping in the desert is simply invincible and exciting.
In addition, the most important thing in the casino is luxury cars.
Take a casual shot, and what comes out is a fashion blockbuster effect.
From recording to shooting the MV, it took less than a day to finish.
It was so fast that Michael couldn't believe it.
He jumped out of the sports car and hugged Gu Cheng vigorously.
"Thank you so much, brother!"
"I've been in the industry for almost ten years now, and I've never recorded a song so fast."
"It only took one day to get the recording and MV done."
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Isn't this to finish filming early, so that you can go home and reunite with your family." β
Christmas is two important holidays for Europe and the United States alongside Thanksgiving.
In Europe and the United States, family gatherings are all about family gatherings, and no matter where they usually are, they should get together as much as possible on these two days.
Of course, Gu Cheng also has his own selfishness.
It's a rare Christmas.
It's the first time two of them have celebrated Christmas.
Gu Cheng naturally hoped to date Su Qi alone.
"But there's no one on Christmas Street, why don't you come home with me for Christmas?"
Michael invited: "My family loves you, if you go, they will be very much"
"Thank you for having me."
Gu Cheng hugged Su Qi's thin waist and took her whole person into his arms.
"But we already have other arrangements."
"That's a shame!"
Su Qi: "Michael, you're almost ready for this album, when do you plan to release it?" β
"I can't wait to get this album to the fans."
Michael spread his hands and looked at them helplessly.
"But the specific time depends on when your next album will be released."
"What does it have to do with us?"
Michael blurted out: "Naturally, it's to avoid colliding with you!" β
Gu Cheng Black Line: "Our album styles are different, what's there to avoid?" β
Seeing that he knows nothing about his own horrors!
Michael pointed to something: "Today, one after another, five European and American singers have postponed their Christmas albums on Twitter, do you know why? β
European and American pop singers like to cater to the tastes of young and old when they are popular, and release Christmas records.
This kind of album can not only cater to the seasonal charts, but also very suitable for the public's seasonal communication to seize the year-end market, and at the same time, it also seems that the singer is very traditional and close to the family audience, and can win the love of all walks of life.
Therefore, in the past, the month of Christmas was a day when European and American celebrities gathered to send "money fraud at the end of the year", and it was easy to cancel.
Gu Cheng frowned: "You mean, the singers in the European and American music scene postponed the release of the album because of us?" β
"It can't be, right?"
Michael nodded, "Who else but you?" β
"Ever since Storm launched, your singles have been firmly in the top 50 of Billboard's Hot 100 chart."
"Finally, when the heat has cooled down, you have released two new songs on BBMA."
"And the data is so fierce, other singers can only avoid the edge for the time being."
During this time, in fact, there were also many European and American singers who issued special orders.
Including the well-known American rap singer Rennes, he launched a comeback album that has been in preparation for three years half a month ago.
also united with other European and American singers, threatening to drive Gu Cheng and them from the top single position and kick "Storm" out of the top 20 on the list!
As a result, the crown was contracted and welded to death by Gu Cheng!
And none of the singles in Ren's group can squeeze into the top 20 of the Hot100, and they have completely become a joke in Europe and the United States.
Reminiscent of Gu Cheng's terrifying creative speed.
Michael couldn't help but ask again: "Brother, let me reveal, when will you release the new album?" β
Gu Cheng gave him a reassurance.
"It's just over a month before the Chinese New Year, and we have to make time to spend with our families."
"In addition, the Grammy Awards are also ready to start, so the new album will not be in a hurry for a while."
"That's good...... Wait a minute! β
Michael suddenly heard something was wrong!
"When did you get selected for the Grammys?"
Gu Cheng nodded, "Universal told me two days ago that he was nominated for some nominations at the Grammys. β
"What awards were you nominated for?"
"I can't remember the specifics, you can wait for the official announcement."
Listen up!
Too many to remember?!
Michael grimaced: "...... Are you talking about human words? β
"It's just a Grammy nomination, and it's not an award, so excited?"
Gu Cheng glanced at him.
"Besides, I remember you took the Grammys!"
Michael was a little furious when he heard this.
"How long have I been in the industry? I have been working hard for ten years, and although I have been nominated for many Grammys, I have only won one award! β
"And how long have you only been on the scene? It's only been half a year! β
Although I haven't won an award yet, there are so many nominations that I can't remember it, and it's absolutely impossible to become a companion!
Michael admits he's jealous!
I couldn't help but say sourly for a while: "Brother, I finally understand why those people are so wary of you!" β
"The speed of your rise is too perverted!"
"Anyway, if you get a Grammy, don't forget to promote my new album when the time comes!"
Gu Cheng nodded, "This is naturally no problem." β
"When your new album comes out, there will definitely be a chance to be selected for the Grammy."
He didn't dare to vouch for anything else.
But that "Uptow
Fu
k" Gu Cheng has heard it, Michael's interpretation is no worse than that of Brother Mars, and there is no problem at all in winning the award.
Gu Cheng raised his hand and looked at his watch, and motioned for Su Qi to get into the car.
"I won't tell you, we booked a plane to country F at 8 o'clock in the evening, and we have to go first."
Seeing that they were leaving, Michael suddenly remembered something.
Hurriedly closed the car door and said, "By the way, I left you a Christmas gift at the hotel!" β
"Remember to ask the front desk to get it before leaving, it's best to wait until Christmas night to open it."
Su Qixing's eyes blinked slightly, and her curiosity was aroused.
"What kind of gift is so mysterious?"
Michael smiled, "I'll know when you dismantle it!" β
