What Gu Cheng wants to say is nothing more than a few questions that need to be determined at the beginning. For example, whether the songs in the album are the ones that are now set - there is no doubt that he wants to learn from him here. Li Yong naturally ignored the idea of "coaxing" some good songs from Bian.
Then Gu Cheng directly raised a question: "According to your previous thoughts, I feel that the song 'Waiting for you to get out of class' is somewhat inconsistent with the theme. Should I simply change it to another one, or should I simply remove this song?" head?"
The lyrics of this song are actually the same as those of "Sea of Stars", which were changed by Li Yong. Although the theme is still similar, the lyrics are not so straightforward.
Speaking of this, Li Yong also feels that someone can really be blamed here for being lazy. It's not like he hasn't written good lyrics before. Even the lyrics of "Terraces" look very simple, but they don't look as awkward as this sounds. .
Of course, it is also possible that like Zhou Xingxing, when his status has risen and he has been praised by others for more than ten or twenty years, although he may still remain the same mentally, he is still the "simple middle-aged boy", but in his performance It will appear a little out of place and even out of touch with reality.
Because his ordinary and sad things only stay in the past, in memories, only on the surface, and no matter how difficult it is to have that kind of personal experience, it will naturally be difficult to write sentences that can touch people's hearts, otherwise it will be like Wenshan and Toshiro It might be better to retreat directly that way.
Of course, another reason why Li Yong changed the lyrics is that the original lyrics are not suitable for him to sing. If you ask him to be a top student in the future, singing this kind of lyrics is obviously a sign of poor academic performance and he will not be very good at it later. There is no persuasiveness at all, and the emotions cannot be integrated into it.
And if we talk about the theme, compared with the other songs, the theme of this song does seem ordinary or a little bit arrogant. After all, the others are like "Youth" and "Stars and Seas".
Based on this consideration, Gu Cheng had no problem if he wanted to remove the song.
But Li Yong thought about it and finally decided to keep "Wait until you finish class", and then told Gu Cheng what he thought.
All aspects of making an album are not as simple as outsiders imagine. Many singers will first set a theme for their albums, and then collect songs based on this concept. Then, the order in which each song is arranged in an album is also particular.
The purpose is to allow the audience to feel the intentions of the creators and complete a "dialogue" with the singer after listening to the entire album and each song from beginning to end.
Of course, later on, I slowly started to play with the concept, but the things I paid attention to were different, not that I didn’t pay attention to them.
"I hope to first create a passionate mood, and then suffer injuries and setbacks in the middle, but still be able to stand up, finally regain calm, and then start again..."
In this way, a song about a campus crush is not so inappropriate.
Li Yong also plans to directly title this album "Youth", so this is the confession of a teenager, and it is also the voice and expectation of a teenager.
With such a theme, even the arrangement can be readjusted.
Gu Cheng also encouraged Li Yong's ideas. For musicians like him, although they like to be busy doing things, it doesn't mean that they don't care about the outside world.
On the contrary, people like them have a strong desire to talk and express, so when Li Yong expressed such an idea, Gu Cheng seemed to be very supportive.
Next is the issue of recording time. Originally, the time schedule set by Gu Cheng should have been enough, but now it seems that it is definitely not enough. It needs to be compressed a little more, but I am afraid that Li Yong will not agree.
But after hearing what he said, Li Yong waved his hand and said casually: "It's okay, just follow your decision. I will have to go to class then."
When he heard what Li Yong said, Gu Cheng could only smile helplessly.
According to his original plan, Li Yong would take more than 20 or 30 days of winter vacation. In addition to the time before and after the Chinese New Year, he would have at least half a month to 20 days to finish recording most of it.
Because they had already prepared everything, except for his voice.
Who would have thought that he would be so nervous now? If it weren't for the fact that these songs were all his and they had to pay for them, Gu Cheng would have thought of just finding someone else to sing them.
Don't be so tormenting people...
In fact, if it weren't for harmony, there are still some things Li Yong would like to do. Singing a song to encourage him is just a small thing, such as predicting something, even if it is just a change in the mission world to give himself some comfort. .
But since he can't do it, he shouldn't get involved. Li Yong should take care of himself and live his own life.
"By the way, let me introduce someone to you..."
At this time, Li Yong suddenly remembered that Zhu Suosuo had been sitting next to him.
However, the girl knew that they were talking about business, and it was something she did not understand and could not intervene in, so she remained silent sensibly and did not think of speaking rashly.
In fact, Gu Cheng and Zhu Suosuo had met before, but they didn't know each other yet, so Li Yong introduced them to each other first.
Gu Cheng's memory was pretty good, as the incident had not happened long ago, and Zhu Suosuo was a very recognizable little beauty, so it would not be easy to forget.
"Miss Zhu..."
"Hello……"
After both sides greeted each other politely, Gu Cheng looked at Li Yong doubtfully.
He knew that Li Yong would not bring someone to meet him properly, or the girl had an unusual relationship with him, which was actually for sure, or there was something else.
Sure enough, Li Yong then talked about asking Zhu Suosuo to sing with him. He had told Zhu Suosuo before that he would let her record songs with him during the winter vacation. Now he is fulfilling his promise.
"Extreme Spiritual Chaos Jue"
Of course, Zhu Suosuo had not decided whether to agree or not at that time, but now maybe because they had been apart for too long, she now wanted to stay by Li Yong's side. Anyway, Jiang Nansun was not here now, so she would not be that strong. Psychological stress.
Li Yong naturally wanted it, but it seemed a bit difficult to persuade Zhu Suosuo to marry him.
Li Yong had no choice but to tell her that there were duets between men and women. If she couldn't sing, he would have to find another female singer. It would be troublesome, and he might have to work with her to find her condition.
When Zhu Suosuo heard this, she quickly agreed. When she saw Li Yong laughing, she also said that she just didn't want Jiang Nansun to know about her intentions. At least if it were her, Jiang Nansun wouldn't care so much.
Li Yong thought to himself that he would just continue to be tough and see how long he could persist.
Of course, the process of recording songs was not smooth. Even if I already have a certain performance foundation and experience, there is still a big difference between singing in school and recording records.
Recording requires excellence, down to the pronunciation of every sentence or even single word. A producer like Gu Cheng does it himself. His ears are very keen and his requirements are quite high. Li Yong wants to make him satisfied so he has to pay twice as much. Just work hard.
Learning can be tricky, but singing is something he still has to do step by step, and there is no way to achieve it overnight.
However, his conditions are still good, and he can improve with more practice, and his understanding is also good. He doesn't need Gu Cheng to explain it in detail every time. He can understand it with basic prompts, and occasionally he can draw inferences.
Of course, understanding and being able to do it are two different things, so you have to practice when you need to practice. Fortunately, this is necessary in the first place. Even professional singers need to try several times to find the best state.
And if he is like this, let alone Zhu Suosuo, who is completely inexperienced.
Just in line with the saying, "There is no skill, it's all emotion."
