Chapter 555 Invisible Wings
"Red Bean" is a very famous song in the previous life, and is known as the most popular and sung representative song in the "post-Faye Wong era".
In fact, the lyrics and composition of this song all have a certain story to them.
Composer Liu Zhongyan admired the voice of Queen Faye Wong very much. When he was writing it, he was thinking about how the Queen would sing, so "like God helped", he wrote the song in a few minutes, breaking his record for the fastest song writing.
Many people associate "red beans" with "lovesickness" because of the famous ancient poem by the poet Wang Wei, "Red beans are born in the south, and when spring comes, they will sprout a few branches. I hope you will pick more of them, as they are the most lovesick."
The fact is that the lyrics of this song originated from the fact that the lyricist happened to be watching a Japanese drama when he was composing it. In the drama, when the heroine was cooking red bean rice, she was thinking about breaking up with the male protagonist, and she boiled the red beans when she was distracted.
.
The author was thinking about the lyrics while following the plot, and thus the poem was born.
Although this "red bean" is not the other "red bean", Ye Zhiqiu feels that it is not a bad idea to combine poems and songs to understand it.
After all, there is no Kimura Takuya in this world, and there is no Japanese drama "Love Century".
However, the Chinese people's appreciation of the beauty of ancient poetry has a broad mass base.
Sitting in front of the piano, Ye Zhiqiu began to play.
A gentle, slightly sad melody sounded, and many people in the recording room nodded secretly.
Music director Chen Haitao was deeply touched. He still remembered that the first time he met Ye Zhiqiu was in this recording studio.
At that time, Ye Zhiqiu also played the piano and accompanied Yu Caiwei in the song "The Wind Rises".
After nearly a year, he discovered that Ye Zhiqiu's piano playing level had reached a new level...
At this time, Ye Zhiqiu's singing also sounded.
[I haven’t really felt it yet
A climate where snowflakes bloom...]
Sounds good!
This is the unanimous feeling of everyone in the recording room.
It seems appropriate for Ye Zhiqiu to sing this song?
After singing the first section B of the song, Ye Zhiqiu stopped, and everyone was still a little unfinished.
Ye Zhiqiu said: "That's probably the case. This song is actually more suitable for Sister Fei's voice."
"When I sing, my voice is natural and good, with some dispersion, but the feeling of being dispersed but not dispersed."
Next, Ye Zhiqiu tried to sing two songs, "That Year in a Hurry" and "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting". Li Wenrui and others on the side became more and more excited as they listened.
The three songs are all very high quality works without exception! Everyone is already looking forward to the grand event after the official release of this ep.
The happiest person was undoubtedly Chen Fei, holding three thin pieces of paper tightly in her hand as if she had found a treasure.
At this time, Chen Haitao asked: "What is the name of this ep? Do you have any ideas?"
Ye Zhiqiu thought for a moment and said, "We can use "Red Bean" as the title song, and that's the name of the album."
"When promoting it, I will attach a poem to it, and the effect should be good."
Everyone in the recording room was stunned, not expecting such an operation to be possible.
"This is my preliminary idea. Sister Fei, if you have any ideas, you can put forward them." Ye Zhiqiu reminded, "There is a poem on the back of the paper "Red Bean", please take a look."
Chen Fei was stunned, and quickly turned over the back of the paper, and there was indeed a poem written on it - "Red Bean".
Everyone couldn't help but stretched their necks and gathered around. The first impression they had when seeing this poem was "the words are so beautiful"!
The poem "Red Beans" uses concise words, and in just a few lines, it expresses the lingering feelings of lovesickness. Everyone has the ability to appreciate it, and it is easy to feel the beauty of the poems in it.
If you think about it carefully, when the ep is released, the promotion will revolve around this poem...
Chen Fei and her manager looked at each other and could see the excitement in each other's eyes.
Although Ye Zhiqiu is a preliminary idea, it is such a powerful... high-end creative idea, what else should be changed!
"Okay! Just do this." Chen Fei's answer was decisive.
After the three songs for Chen Fei, it was Yu Caiwei's turn.
In fact, Yu Caiwei has released many new singles since the album "The Wind Rises".
Therefore, for Yu Caiwei's new album, after discussions with Huahai Entertainment, it was decided to include several excellent previous works. This approach is also relatively common in the industry.
After comprehensive consideration, the four songs included in the new album include "Shui Diao Ge Tou", "Always Quiet", "Ningxia", and "Know or Not".
The new album has a total of ten songs, and the other 6 songs are new songs, and the songs that have been released are not suitable to be the title songs of the new album.
Before taking out the new song, Ye Zhiqiu gave it a try, looked at Yu Caiwei and said, "How is it?"
"Is there any style you want to sing in the new album? I accept personalized customization."
Chen Fei and Ding Jie on the side: "..."
No one else has such differential treatment.
Yu Caiwei tilted her head and thought for a while, then replied: "Love song?"
"Well...it's better to be sweeter."
Li Wenrui opened his mouth, but finally said nothing. He and Song Mei looked at each other with helpless eyes.
"Yes." Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile, "But I still don't want to be the title song."
"Lest the show of affection goes too far and I go out on the street and get beaten up."
Yu Caiwei nodded, having no objection to this point.
Li Wenrui and others breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that luckily Ye Zhiqiu stayed awake.
That’s not to say that a sweet love song can’t be the title song, but after all, it’s a bit contradictory to Yu Caiwei’s previous style.
The last album was the youthful and sad "The Wind Rises". The sudden change in style was so drastic that it was inevitable that some listeners would be lost.
Fei Chen's ep title song "Red Bean", although it is a love song, it is not a piece of shit.
And generally speaking, "sad" works are more artistic than "sweet" works, and can be told and expressed from more angles.
——There is only one kind of happy mood, but there are many different kinds of sadness.
"I'll think about the love songs again. Let's look at the title song and a few other songs first."
Ye Zhiqiu took out the handwritten score and handed it to Yu Caiwei.
Everyone quickly looked at the song title on the top piece of paper.ωωw.
——"Invisible Wings".
Yu Caiwei took the paper, her eyes never leaving Ye Zhiqiu, and said, "Help me record the demo."
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned and was about to say something when he saw the light in Yu Caiwei's eyes and stood up with a smile.
I just played and sang for Chen Fei to record, and this girl is actually jealous...
"To be honest, I can't sing that feeling when singing this song." Ye Zhiqiu took an acoustic guitar and said with a wry smile.
The title songs he wrote for Chen Fei and Yu Caiwei took into account the characteristics of their voices.
Fei Chen's voice is gentle and affectionate, while Yu Caiwei's voice is ethereal and graceful, both of which are very recognizable.
Yu Caiwei nodded, but her expression didn't care at all. Her eyes seemed to be urging, "I don't care at all, hurry up and start."
Assistant Xiaoru raised her phone excitedly again.
