Chapter 116 Hokkien Lyrics

In another song, "Shanghai 1943", Fan Noxuan remembered reading the lyrics written by Li Hyuk before. It said: I hate myself for not having the courage to fall in love with you.

It feels like a very popular love song, and it will definitely be popular if written, but it seems that Li Hyuk has changed the words here. It has been changed to: The old time disappeared in 1943, and time slows down on the way of memories.

The lyrics are well written, but they have nothing to do with love songs. Is this okay?

When Fan Noxuan raised this question, Li He looked at Fan Noxuan as if he were an idiot.

"Miss Fan, do you know what style is? This song is used to distinguish the difference between me and other singers." Li He said.

"However, I think the lyrics of love songs are good, and the audience will like them more, right?" Fan Noxuan felt that she was right.

Li He shook his finger and said: "Is it right that the audience likes it? In the final analysis, most of the audience may not even understand basic music theory knowledge. The most common thing about composing music is whether it sounds good or not.

But the lyrics are different. You can see the composer's care at a glance from the words. I think a Chinese person can feel the beauty of the words as long as he has taken a Chinese class."

Fan Nuoxuan followed Li He's example and shrugged: "Okay, I guess what you said makes sense."

"That's how it is. If you don't believe it, I'll sing along later and you can listen to it."

After the break, Li Hyuk started to sing again. Outside, Fan Noxuan put on her headphones and listened to Li Hyuk singing "Shanghai 1943". When she heard it, she really felt something unusual.

After Li He came out, Fan Nuoxuan gave Li He a thumbs up and said, "You are right. Next time this happens, you have to stick to your own ideas. If you can't, give me a punch."

Li He was amused and waved his hands repeatedly: "That's not necessary. You are also the second boss after all, so you have to have face."

"Thank you for giving me face..."

In fact, the other songs are okay, but there are some Hokkien lyrics in "Dad, I'm Back" that trouble Li Hyuk.

Li Hyuk doesn't speak Hokkien at all, but there are some passages in this song that don't have the same flavor if not sung in Hokkien. In fact, Li Hyuk also thought about using Shanghai dialect to express it before, but when he sang it, it had a weird flavor.

Something is wrong.

After much thought, Li He had to find someone to help, preferably someone who could speak Hokkien and sing, so a Hokkien singer would be the most suitable.

There should be many Hokkien singers in Baodao, but Li He didn't know anyone. Fortunately, he had Huang Liling's contact information to see if she knew the Hokkien singers.

"A Ling, are you busy?" Li He called Huang Liling.

"You're not busy, you actually called me when you had time..." Huang Liling was surprised.

"Well, actually I have something to ask you for help." Li He was a little embarrassed to ask for help.

However, Huang Liling was very cheerful: "Whatever you say, I will try my best to do it if I can."

Li Hyuk didn't hesitate and said directly: "It's like this, I'm working on a new album, and there are some lyrics that need to be sung in Hokkien, but I won't tell you, do you know any singers who can sing Hokkien?

?”

"You are making a new album? That's great! Let me think about it, you know Jiang Hui, I have met her a few times and we have a good relationship. I can ask him for help." Huang Liling said.

"Okay, thank you very much. Come to Shanghai and visit my studio when you have time. I'll treat you to dinner," Li He said.

"Then it's settled!" Huang Liling was very happy. Li He owed her a favor, and it would be much more convenient to invite songs in the future.

After a while, Huang Liling sent Jiang Hui's contact information. Li He personally called Jiang Hui and proposed his idea of ​​learning Hokkien, which was limited to a few lyrics.

"Oh? You are also Shang Hai. That's great. Zheng Hai come to our studio and have a look." After communicating on the phone with Jiang Hui, Li He sent out an invitation.

Jiang Hui readily agreed, and the next day, Li Hyuk received many legendary Hokkien singers in the studio.

Jiang Hui was surprised when she saw Li Hyuk's song "Dad, I'm Back". She said to Li Hyuk: "This song you wrote is very courageous. I don't think anyone has touched this subject before."

"No one has touched it, so I want to try it," Li He said.

"Okay, then let's get started, teaching one sentence at a time." Jiang Hui started teaching singing vigorously and without rest at all.

Although there are Hokkien lyrics, there are not many. In one morning, Li He has become completely proficient in a few Hokkien lyrics and can use them in singing.

As a song in a minority language, it is rare for Jiang Hui to be famous in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

After the singing lesson was over, Li He invited Jiang Hui to have a meal and expressed his gratitude. In fact, he wanted to give money as payment for tuition, but Jiang Hui didn't want it.

The difficulty of "Dad, I'm Back" was solved, and the recording of other songs went smoothly.

As a music producer, it is Li Hyuk's responsibility to control the quality of the album. But do you need to worry about the quality of the "Fantasy" album? Definitely not.

Li He kept one important point in mind, that is, do not give free rein, because the correct answer is like a melon on the vine. You can just reach out and pick it, and Li He does not need to worry about it at all.

But Li Hyuk's genius and rapid production of songs surprised others. Li Hyuk's recording engineer Lu Wen was surprised by Li Hyuk's arrangement and singing speed, which were simply too fast and powerful.

Before singing, Li Hyuk had already found the effect he wanted, and all that was left was to achieve the preset effect.

With Li Hyuk confident, the recording speed of the album was rapid. By the end of April, the production of eight songs had been completed, with only four songs left to be recorded.

When recording "Can't Open My Mouth", Li Hyuk came up with an idea. There are a lot of strings used in the arrangement, and the effect of simply recording and synthesizing several times is not good, so Li Hyuk planned to hire an orchestra to record the strings.

part.

In this regard, you have to go to your alma mater, Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and look for someone there. He knows the Shanghai Orchestra and is the chief conductor.

At the end of April, Shanghai has started to get hot. This year's Shanghai Conservatory of Music campus singer competition was held for the second time. The last Shanghai Conservatory of Music had Li Hyuk and Guns N' Roses (formerly Xinran Band), making

Shanghai Conservatory of Music has become famous.

Therefore, the second Shanghai Conservatory of Music Campus Singer Competition has become even more popular with more students signing up to participate.

But there is only one Li Hyuk, and there will never be another talented musician like Li Hyuk in this generation.

It has been almost a year since he left school, and Li Hyuk still misses school life and the five brothers in the dormitory whom he has not contacted for a long time.

In the past, we were good buddies, and we would handle things together. However, as Li Hyuk became famous, our paths seemed to be drifting apart.

"Professor Sun..." Li He knocked on the door.

Professor Sun, who was immersed in his work, saw that it was Li He and quickly stood up to greet Li He: "Here you come? Please take a seat. What would you like to drink?"

"Just water." Li He sat down on the sofa.

Professor Sun gave Li He a glass of boiled water and sat down on the single sofa: "Oh, you haven't visited me or the school for a long time."

"Isn't it because I am busy with work? I will come back to see it when I have time." Li He was a little embarrassed.

"I understand, it's fun to be a star, but there are also worries and lack of freedom." Professor Sun smiled and said, "What's the reason for coming here this time?"

"Uh, actually I want to ask professor for help, help me contact the Shanghai Orchestra." Li He made the request directly.

"What do you want an orchestra for?" Professor Sun asked curiously.

Li Hyuk answered truthfully: "That's right, my new album is in the process of being produced. Some of the songs require the use of string instruments, but I'm not satisfied with the studio version, so I hope the band will record the samples live."

"Are you so generous now? I can contact you, but let's make it clear first, the price is not cheap." Professor Sun got vaccinated in advance.

Li He patted his pocket and said, "Don't worry, professor, I choose not to be short of money."

"Hey, it seems that you have become a star singer and made a fortune." Professor Sun laughed, stood up and pulled Li He out: "Now that you are here, don't be idle, come and see you juniors and juniors with me.

Let’s go to our performance.”

"Hey, no, professor..." Before Li He could object, he was pulled out by Professor Sun.
