Perfect Life

readx; The relationship between Li Qian and Xie Bing is of course not what the gossip men and women imagined.

Xie Bing is very beautiful, there is no doubt about it, she has a beautiful smile, beautiful eyes, Wu Nong's soft words, charming and lovely... These good words will never be used against her, and there will be no sense of disobedience, even praise She didn't feel it. Because these words on her are completely realistic. This beautiful girl, of course everyone loves to see it, at least Li Qian felt that dealing with a few beautiful girls in their five elements was a pleasant and enjoyable thing.

But that's about it.

Li Qian is not crazy, nor does he have the so-called harem collection addiction, and even if he thinks that three wives and four concubines are very emotional, he is not so superficial that he wants to hug him when he sees a beautiful girl. arms.

As an old man in his thirties, he has his own self-knowledge and self-control.

Therefore, in his heart, professionally speaking, he is the producer of the album Five Elements Wusu. He wants to help them make this album well, and he wants to earn them money while holding them up. When you get a sum of money, and a qualification that will be tougher and more confident when you enter the industry in the future. In terms of personal relationships, to be honest, he, an old man whose mental age will be about forty, looks at these lively and youthful girls, and often subconsciously treats them as juniors and children. - This is a common problem of many mature old men.

No matter what ripples in Xie Bing's heart, in Li Qian's case, he took Xie Bing to listen to such a scene. One is to fulfill the promise, and the other is that she feels that she will stay in Jinan Mansion alone and catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion. Although Wang Jingxue is also in Jinan Mansion, she is cold and does not seem to be considerate and caring. That kind of thing, so Li Qian felt the need to give some little care to the little girl... As I said just now, this is really a common problem of old men.

The play is over. Care was delivered, for him. This is over.

After listening to a good show in the afternoon, everyone got together for dinner in the evening, and then Li Qian took Xie Bing back to the house they rented on a bicycle. Xie Bing didn't wait for the tender-faced Xie Bing to say something and go for a drink. If there is water, etc., he simply turns around and pedals away. Before I left, I didn't forget to say: "Farewell" must be practiced hard. Otherwise, I will train you later!

So, yes, Xie Bing was full of words to say, but also held back.

…………

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, everything is back on track.

Although the vacation is not long, but after a few days to relax, the tiredness of several girls who had been recording for weeks before disappeared immediately. Although the previous good state has also been lost a lot, but after a little adjustment for two days to find the feeling, their next recording will soon be smooth.

The first to be completed is "Love Me!" composed by Cao Zhan and arranged by Li Qian. , and then The Lovebirds.

In the end, it was the very Russian folk song "A Night on the Outskirts of Moscow" - an extra note. In this world, this song has never appeared before.

Wait until all three songs are recorded. The time is already late October.

Then, finally finally. Coming to the final stage of the recording part of this album - "Farewell"!

…………

In Li Qian's plan for Wuxingwusu as the album producer, every song in their album has a clear direction. have a clear audience.

From "Let's Row the Sculls" for elementary school and middle school students, to "Happy Baby" for middle school and high school students, to "Sister and Sister Stand Up" for high school students, college students, and all under the age of 30 The main consumer group of pop music, and the "Loveless Front Alliance" is aimed at all young men and women, in cooperation with the song "Chong! rush! rush! ", and Cao Zhan's cheerful and clear "Love Me!" ”, these six songs together constitute a relatively complete blockbuster system-these songs are for the purpose of digging out the wallets of young people.

However, it is obvious that an album cannot all be in this lighthearted style, although it is not absolutely impossible, but if you really make the whole album into this style, then it is not popular. Once this album becomes popular , Wuxing Wusu's future development route was directly nailed to death.

Therefore, they also need some alternative songs.

Such as "Love Birds", such as "Ice Candied Haws", such as "Night on the Outskirts of Moscow".

These three songs are also popular, and they can also become popular, but they will not attract money like "Sister and Sister Stand Up", because they all have their own unique charm and relatively biased. swipe.

The former can bring sales, the latter can bring word of mouth.

But that alone makes this album too messy.

Whether it is top-heavy or not, at least for an album, the style will appear relatively disordered, and there is even a feeling of being directly divided into two halves, and it is impossible to create a perfect album from the overall style.

Therefore, a "Farewell" is still needed to suppress the position.

With "Farewell", Wuxingwusu is no longer a simple idol group that only sings fast songs to make money. The last four songs represented by "Farewell" and "Night in the Suburbs of Moscow" will Bring them a very good professional reputation, and only then will it be possible to truly usher in a double harvest of word of mouth and sales!

In the 21st century, people like to talk about style, and in the end it means nothing more than style.

And "Farewell" is to come out and brush the style.

However, everything has a positive side and a negative side.

The song "Farewell" is very powerful and awesome. It is no exaggeration to say that in the time and space that Li Qian experienced, it is a super work that is enough to be juxtaposed with "Yellow River Cantata" and "March of the Volunteers", but the latter two The theme of the author is the survival and death of the nation. This theme is very big, and the standards of the two works are also very high, so they appear to be of high status, and "Farewell" is purely an expression of personal feelings. So it seems to be a little lighter.

But in terms of music level alone, "Farewell" is actually not inferior.

Even, to be more disrespectful, if there is no promotion of the state apparatus, once the two great works that are related to the survival of the nation, once they enter the era of peace, it is usually estimated that only a few people will listen to and praise them. ". But it is enough to rely on the spontaneous word of mouth of the people to be able to sing for a hundred years and be immortal.

But it is precisely because of its super high status and super high quality of works that this song appears as soon as it appears. It is bound to greatly shake the domestic music scene in this time and space. Then, as the first Wuxingwusu combination to sing this work, it will surely usher in more, stricter, and even critical examinations, criticisms, and even torture.

That's why, from the very beginning of the recording. Li Qian was extremely strict with the five girls. He first recorded the quick songs in one go, and put "Night in the Suburbs of Moscow" at the end to further cultivate their emotions and feelings.

But it turns out that it's still difficult.

And this has nothing to do with singing skills or voice, it's just that the feelings are not in place!

In Li Qian's opinion, this song is difficult to sing. But also good to sing. It is difficult to sing because it is a slow song, and it is a very particular slow song, which has extremely strict requirements on the singer's breath and singing skills. But say it's good to sing. But it's because the most important thing about this song is not actually singing. Nor is it breath.

but feelings.

Just like the famous evaluation of Su Shi's poems, "Bachelor's poems. You must go to the Western Han Dynasty, the bronze pipa, and the iron chuoban. Sing the big river and go east." Are the singers in the brothel of insufficient quality? Can't sing? Obviously not! You know, at that time in the Song Dynasty, the singers in the brothel were the professionals! But Su Dongpo's bold words, you let a few girls who are delicate and weak in 2028 sing with red-toothed clappers in their hands, it just doesn't sound right!

To sing "Farewell" well, it's very simple.

A person with certain singing skills, over forty years old, preferably over fifty years old, has experienced some things, precipitated some things, experienced life and separation, and experienced death, you give this song to him, he will Even if his breath is unstable in some places, some places may even be a little out of tune, and he even hoars his throat, but that doesn't matter at all, as soon as that sense of age and age comes out, listen to the song "Farewell" for a while. You can't stop the tears in just one sentence!

But Wuxingwusu, whose average age is only 21 years old... obviously does not have that sense of vicissitudes of time!

So, one day, two days... On the third day, Li Qian simply called them out of the recording studio and returned to the rehearsal room.

"I know that you are all still young, and I also know that it is not easy for you to grasp the feelings of this song, so I don't have high expectations for you. You are all young, but I believe that you are very interested in this song. This kind of feeling in this is not completely unexperienced! So now, for me, you guys think back and forth..."

"You all left your parents when you were teens, went out, went to Shuntianfu, and made music, so now, please remind me, do you still remember what it was like when you left home? What do you look like? What do your parents look like? Do you still remember the colors of the quilt and pillowcase that your mother put on? The little bear on the bed, or the puppy, or a very ugly one baby crocodile?"

"You just came back from home after the holiday, so how is it usually? When you can't go back, do you occasionally recall a certain dish that your mother cooked for you? When you encounter difficulties and troubles, when When you cry aggrievedly alone, do you think of something?"

"Also, also... Do you still remember the flower beds you can see when you look down from the window? And the children running, laughing, and making trouble beside the flower beds? Do you still remember how you grew up when you were young? Those schools you have been to, do you still remember the large weeds that grew up on the playground when the school started after the summer vacation every year?"

"You must all have your own good friends, iron buddies and best friends from childhood to adulthood, so, do you still remember what your good friends said when you were about to leave home? Did you also get drunk together? Ever? So now, how long have you not seen each other? Goodbye to them, can you still recall the silly things you did at that silly age? . . So now, think about it, grab it, and sing it!"

…………

To record the five songs in the first part, Li Qian took Wuxing Wusu to record it in less than 20 days.

It took them about sixteen days to record the three songs for the second part.

But when it was time to record "Farewell", it took Li Qian 14 days just to temper their breath and mobilize their feelings repeatedly!

But the advantage is that when you walk into the studio again, the effect is immediately apparent.

When a few girls, and even a few girls in their early twenties, sang "Outside the Long Pavilion, Along the Ancient Road" with the clear and simple voices unique to young girls, I don't know what to do. Unconsciously, Li Qian, who was standing outside the transparent glass wall of the recording studio, found that kind of sore nose and eyes.

For the song "Farewell", unfamiliar ordinary fans may think that it is in the format of up and down, but it is not. It is a total of three up and down. The repetition of the section "outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road" forms a feeling of reciprocation, which doubles the imagery of the pavilion, the ancient road, the herbs, the evening wind, the willows, the flute, the setting sun, and the mountains. A kind of emotional progression in which the sad scene is written with sadness, and then the sad scene is lined with sadness.

Sounds of sadness, every word is love.

According to the different voices of the five girls, Li Qian assigned them different passages - no way, "Let's Swing the Sculls" is mainly for children, the chorus is enough, but "Outside Moscow" "The Evening" and "Farewell" are destined to attract countless critical eyes. If you simply continue to use chorus, then not only the five elements, but even his producer will be criticized as a dog-blood sprinkler!

Also, that looks too timid!

Fortunately, the hard work paid off. After two months of constant adjustment to them, coupled with the recent in-depth emotional excavation, Li Qian finally succeeded in making their five young girls sing at least. It's the level of achievement!

…………

November 9 ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Saturday, 4:30 pm.

After recording five times in a row, at least three of which met or even exceeded Li Qian's standard, Li Qian pressed the intercom, smiled at the five girls behind the glass wall, and said, "Ok, now I Announcing that the studio recording part of your second album "Sister and Sister Stand Up" has officially been completed!"

After a pause, before the five sluggish girls in the recording studio could react, he had already put his hands together again, putting away all the brute force he had been training recently, with a smear on his face. With a peaceful smile, he said, "It's been hard work for you in the past two months!"

I don't know if it's because of the ruthless emotional excavation in the recent period, or because I really feel that the album recording in the past two months is too hard, or because they have been trained many times by Li Qian recently, they have accumulated too much resentment, in short... ...After a while, the eyes of the five girls behind the glass wall were all red in an instant.

And Li Qian sighed incomprehensibly, and then smiled slowly.

"Finally done," he thought.
