Chapter 470: Seven Miles of Incense
It is clear that these people sitting here, including Wang Qidong and Yuan Xuwen, have not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.
Since the quality of the eight songs released by Xu Ye before was good, everyone didn't think much about it.
This song must be similar to the previous eight songs, what else can it be.
Everyone's hearts have been prepared for a long time.
As Wang Qidong pressed the play button, a sound came from the speakers in the room.
As soon as the voice sounded, Wang Qidong's face showed a look of doubt.
The first thing he heard was the wind.
In the next second, a sound similar to a wind chime rang.
The sound is crisp, mixed with the sound of the wind, as if the breeze is blowing, very fresh.
Wang Qidong's brows were already furrowed.
For a moment, he couldn't even think of what kind of instrument was used to make the sound.
But when the music continued to play, Wang Qidong's face showed shock.
What kind of prelude is this, it's a bit outrageous!
At first, Wang Qidong was wondering what kind of instrument it was and what sound was sampled here, but after only five seconds, he gave up.
Unless he listens slowly and analyzes it now, he can't judge it at all.
More than ten seconds later, the sound of a large number of instruments came, and the mood of the whole prelude was once again heightened.
At this moment, Wang Qidong was not the only one who was surprised, everyone present showed surprise on their faces.
It's a prelude to kill!
Even, a few people already had goosebumps just by hearing this prelude.
This song is completely different from what everyone expected!
Yuan Xuwen's ability to compose music is a little worse, but he can also feel that this prelude is amazing.
Originally, he wanted to ask a question, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Wang Qidong raise his hand and press it down, signaling everyone not to speak.
Yuan Xuwen also felt that if he spoke at this time, it would ruin the atmosphere of the whole song, so he closed his mouth.
The twenty-six-second prelude has already attracted everyone's attention.
In the next second, Xu Ye's singing voice came.
"The sparrow outside the window, with a lot of mouths on the telephone pole~"
"You say this, it feels like summer~"
Hearing these two sentences, there was already a lyricist present who patted his thigh.
The song "Qili Xiang" is a song from Jay Chou's album of the same name, released in 2004.
Fang Wenshan wrote the lyrics, Jay Chou composed the music, and Zhong Xingmin arranged the music.
These three king-level people collided together to create this song, which is still called a masterpiece by everyone even after 20 years.
Speaking of songs about summer, you can't avoid this song "Qili Xiang".
Since he and Xiao Xu met in the summer and held hands in the summer, this album is also in the summer.
That's going to have to put the song on the album.
The reason why this song is placed in the ninth song is purely a bad taste of Xu Ye.
If you don't play Qilixiang in the ninth song, how can you feel "shocked" when you hear the tenth song.
The lyrics of the song "Qili Xiang", according to Fang Wenshan himself, did not write it as a lyric when he wrote it, but as a poem.
How can such lyrics not be beautiful.
But what shocked the people present the most was that in the song "Qili Xiang", it actually avoided the problem of overlapping sounds, which cannot be avoided in melodic creation.
Overlapping tones are taboo in pop music composition, and when they occur, they limit and reduce musicality.
But Xu Ye almost used a dazzling technique in the composition, so that the whole song has no sense of repetition, and also added some new ideas.
Listening to the songs in Xu Ye's album before, everyone can still comment on a few words.
As soon as this song came out, an idea popped up in the hearts of everyone present.
"I've got to study hard!"
Xu Ye's singing continued.
"The pencil in my hand, back and forth on the paper~"
"I use a few lines to describe who you are to me~"
"The taste of saury, the cat and you want to know~"
"The fragrance of first love was found by us like this~"
The song sounded, and the group of old men present felt that they were all several years younger.
The sense of picture in the lyrics is too strong.
"The warm sunshine is like a freshly picked bright strawberry~"
"You said you were reluctant to eat this feeling~"
Everyone clearly heard that the vocal harmony was used in these two lyrics.
This is more common in Xu Ye's works.
But with such a small increase in detail, the song feels different in an instant.
The next second, the chorus sounded.
"It rained all night, and my love overflowed like rain~"
"The leaves in the yard are thick, and my thoughts are thick~"
"A few words of right and wrong can't cool my enthusiasm~"
"You appear on every page of my poems~"
At this time, Yuan Xuwen had already closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa.
Qilixiang's singing voice pulled him back to that summer decades ago.
At that time, Yuan Xuwen was also a popular figure in the school.
Every day, a girl handed him a small note.
But Yuan Xuwen didn't feel anything about these girls, what he remembered most was his table mate at the time.
The girl who wears a ponytail almost every day for 365 days a year and puts a stinky face on him.
The small notes handed by the other girls were all forwarded by her.
Every time she sent a note to her, the girl would smile and say a number.
This number represents the first few small slips of paper.
At that time, Yuan Xuwen only thought that this was a girl ridiculing him, so he deliberately said this number every time.
Make it look like he's a scumbag.
This situation could have lasted forever, but one day Yuan Xuwen was taken by a talent scout.
Yuan Xuwen, who wants to be a star, will naturally not give up this opportunity.
After signing the contract with the scout, he came to the school with a look of anger and told the news to his classmates.
Everyone was cheering, except for the girl, who didn't speak.
It was still very hot during the day, and it was pouring rain in the afternoon.
After sorting out the school's things, Yuan Xuwen was ready to leave.
For him at the time, it was a relief.
He walked to the corridor with his schoolbag on his back, and the girl's voice came from behind him.
It was his name that was called.
The girl came up to him and handed him a small note.
"This should be your last one, go back and see it again, bye!"
After saying that, the girl turned around and ran back to the classroom.
Yuan Xuwen is no longer interested in the contents of these notes.
He's going to be a star.
When he returned home and opened the small note, he found that the contents of the note had been written by his tablemate.
The slip of paper has a serial number on it, as well as four words.
"I like you."
It was still raining outside the window that day.
It's a pity that that boy doesn't know love yet.
"It rained all night, and my love overflowed like rain~"
"The ledge butterfly, like a beautiful chapter in the poem~"
"I will continue to write, and write the eternal love into the end of the poem~"
"You are the only thing I want to know~"
When the last lyric appeared, Wang Qidong couldn't help but say: "Lan Tingxu! ”
Everyone present has listened to the song "Orchid Pavilion Preface" over and over again at least dozens of times.
As soon as Wang Qidong said it, everyone remembered it.
There is a lyric in "Orchid Pavilion Preface" that is "And I lack the understanding of your life".
And at the end of "Qili Xiang", it is "You are the only thing I want to know".
This echoes the above.
When the chorus ends, the interlude sounds.
Wang Qidong immediately heard that the wind sound of sampling was still used here.
He finally heard the sound of the instrument, it was the sound of the vibrating instrument, and the sound of this instrument was clearer and clearer.
At this time, Yuan Xuwen had already fallen into memories.
Boys always mature later than girls psychologically, and I don't know how many boys only realize when they grow up that the message that the girl wrote to me was confessing to me.
But the boy at that time didn't think of it at all.
In the interlude of the vibro and the sound of the wind, the magnificent string music sounded.
At this moment, Yuan Xuwen only felt that his eyes were sour, and he almost cried.
It is easier to substitute emotions because of the song, or because he is a singer.
"This interlude is amazing!"
Yuan Xuwen exclaimed in his heart.
He tried to distract him from his emotions.
I cried when I listened to Xu Ye's song, if this was spread out, it wouldn't be on the hot search, but fortunately I didn't cry.
When the interlude ends, it enters the B section of the chorus.
Then the next twist returns to the main song.
"The full ears of rice are happy all season~"
"And your cheeks are like ripe tomatoes in the field~"
"You suddenly said to me, the name of Nanali Xiang is very beautiful~"
"I just want to kiss your stubborn mouth at the moment~"
The main song of this section is obviously a foreshadowing of the climax in the back.
Nanachika's singing echoed throughout the room.
By the end of the song, the coda reverts to the style of the intro and interlude.
The sound of the wind in the sample sounded again.
Seven miles of incense, come with the wind, go with the wind.
When the music stopped, the room fell silent.
Everyone was immersed in the beauty of the song.
Finally, Wang Qidong spoke.
He only said four words.
"Listen to it again!"
The thought in his heart was, it's so fucking good!
Listening to this song once is simply not enough, it must be listened to several times.
By the way, you can also learn something about it.
"Qili Xiang", this is a beautiful and picturesque lyrical love song.
And today, the beauty of "Qili Xiang" has also been heard by millions of people.
After the first wave of ordinary listeners, ordinary listeners couldn't tell what was awesome about it, but everyone felt the same.
That's good!
That's so good!
The intro is good, the main song is good, the chorus is good, the interlude is good, and even the outro is good, so there is nothing bad about it.
"I blow up the song Qilixiang, it's so good, when I listen to the song with my eyes closed, it feels like watching a movie!"
"I think the lyrics of this song are very well written, a bit like a poem."
"Have you noticed the dream linkage with Lan Tingxu in the lyrics?"
On the Internet, some netizens have already discussed it.
You don't know how to arrange music or compose, but you can understand the lyrics.
After Xu Xu Rusheng's CP fans discovered this dream linkage, they immediately thought of an incident that happened last year.
At that time, Xu Ye was recording "Wandering Music", and sang the song "Orchid Pavilion Preface" in the show, and sang "Happy Birthday Song" in the final singing session.
Later, after the show was broadcast, everyone only remembered Xu Ye's Erhu version of the Happy Birthday song.
Later, although someone determined that the day Xu Ye was singing the happy birthday song according to the recording time of the show happened to be Xiao Xu's birthday, not many people cared about it.
It was only after Xu Xu Rusheng was really together that these small details of the past were picked up.
It's just that no one paid attention to the song "Orchid Pavilion Preface".
After all, this song is written with the theme of the Forbidden City, although it is a love song, but after all, it is written in the Orchid Pavilion preface.
But as soon as Qilixiang's lyrics came out, this group of fans couldn't sit still.
"That day, Xu Ye was singing and singing, and I only lacked the understanding of your life, Xiao Xu was in the audience! This lyric was sung by Xu Ye to Xiao Xu! ”
"I didn't expect it, it's been almost a year, and the lyrics actually have a response today, you are the only thing I want to know! It's still sung to Xiao Xu! ”
"This can't be planned by Xu Ye, right?"
Netizens were shocked by this echo after a year.
If this is really Xu Ye's plan, it is too outrageous.
It's just that what makes netizens wonder is that today's music scene is a little too quiet.
Usually after Xu Ye's new song is released, it won't take long for a lot of music reviews to pop up, some praise and some criticism, anyway, it's like the Spring Festival Gala in the music world, it's definitely very lively.
"What about music critics? Why don't you speak? Haven't woken up yet? ”
"What's wrong with you, sister-in-law? It's okay if you don't post a music review and send a black silk, don't you don't speak. ”
"Everyone moves, I think this song is very good, isn't this just a casual comment?"
What netizens don't know is that the entire music scene is now in shock.
Liu Ye, a music critic with millions of fans, is one of the music critics who gave a bad review of "Philharmonic" on the Internet after receiving money.
After today's new song was released, he also came to listen to it for the first time.
After listening, Liu Ye was dumbfounded.
He listened a second time, a third time, a fourth time......
I listened to it over and over again, and the more I listened to it, the more frightened I became.
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.
After listening to it several times, Liu Ye has already heard how awesome this song is.
It's not simple, it's quite awesome.
The level of this song is at the top level in the entire Chinese music scene!
And it's not the kind that is great in one aspect and not good in others.
This song is very strong in terms of overall strength.
As soon as he thought of the Weibo he posted, Liu Ye felt his face hurt.
"Xu Ye, you did it on purpose, you didn't put such an awesome song in the first song, you put it in the penultimate song, what happened to Yuan Xuwen when you released this song early!"
In Liu Ye's opinion, the song "Qili Xiang" is enough to become a god.
If this song had been released on the first release, the sales of the album would have gone up a long time ago.
King?
You can stand one stop at the other.
Now Liu Ye is a little difficult to ride a tiger.
Is the music review of this "Seven Mile Fragrance" written or not?
His phone rang and vibrated continuously.
The few music groups he added have already fried the pot, and they are all discussing "Qili Xiang".
"This music review is not easy to write, does anyone dismantle the score with me?"
"I've analyzed a little bit of something, let's see if it's right."
"Dude, it's been a one-hour loop of the single, what kind of music review to write, listen to the song first!"
In the group, the big guys are chatting hotly.
Liu Ye now just wants to delete the Weibo he wrote before, it's too early to say ugly things.
Who would have thought that you have released eight songs on your album, and the ninth song is Wang Bang!
You're sick!
On the other side, the famous composer Zhang Yao also finished listening to "Qili Xiang".
He was a professional composer, and when he listened to it, he sensed that something was wrong.
A question kept popping up in his mind.
"Can this be?"
After listening to the song, Zhang Yao felt that he had learned something.
"It's not enough to just listen to the song, I have to dismantle the whole song and analyze it carefully."
Zhang Yao directly turned on the computer and started working.
This put the Teaching Bureau!
All over the country, countless musicians have been immersed in the shock brought by "Qili Xiang".
When it was past three o'clock, the first wave of music reviews was belated.
"God-like works, talk about some of my thoughts on Qilixiang!"
"At the end of summer, thank you to Qilixiang for bringing us the last heat!"
"You don't have to buy 'Philharmonic,' but you have to go and listen to 'Seven Miles.'"
……
The music critics all turned into a boasting group at this moment.
Netizens were stunned.
"What's going on? Did Xu Ye spend money to buy a water army? ”
"Is Nanachili so good?"
"The dean can't stand the scolding, and starts spending money to buy music reviews, you can't buy it like this, you have to buy a few bad reviews to appear real."
A few hours later, the second wave of reviews arrived.
This time, the music review is analyzed from a professional point of view.
Zhang Yao even released the fruits of his labor on Weibo.
The score of "Seven Miles of Fragrance".
In Weibo, Zhang Yao specifically analyzed the composition of this song.
After reading the analysis of this group of professionals, many netizens have more question marks on their heads.
"Is this song so awesome?"
"I'll just say why it's so good, it turns out that it's because of Xu Ye's design in composition and arrangement."
"The lyrics are also well written, and they go well with the tune."
"? Did the dean bring us a plate of chaff this time? ”
On Weibo, the topic of Qilixiang directly topped the hot search.
The whole wind direction has changed.
Those who said that Xu Ye didn't have a king bomb all shut up.
When these people say this, they really feel that the songs on the album are almost finished, and there is no need to put the good songs at the end.
Therefore, the quality of Xu Ye's remaining songs must be at a normal level.
But now Qili Xiang has come out.
On Penguin Music, the sales of the album "Philharmonic" have skyrocketed rapidly, even faster than in previous days.
Many people who were watching couldn't help it anymore after hearing the song Qilixiang.
If you don't buy it now, wait for when!
The penultimate song is so powerful, and the penultimate one is still there?
You won't lose anything if you buy it!
By 10 o'clock on Friday morning, the album sales of "Philharmonic" were updated.
The sales volume was 2.73 million copies, and the total number directly surpassed Yuan Xuwen's "Spirits".
This result was already expected by everyone.
At this time, Xu Ye posted a Weibo.
"Do you want to listen to the three songs that were given away first, or do you want to listen to the tenth song of the album first? Everyone voted to decide. ”
