NOVEL WEB Chapter 470 "Seven Lixiang"
Chapter 470 "Qili Xiang"
It is obvious that these people sitting here, including Wang Qidong and Yuan Xuwen, have not realized the seriousness of the problem.
Since the eight songs Xu Ye released previously were of good quality, no one thought much about it.
This song is definitely similar to the previous eight songs, so what else can it do?
Everyone has already been prepared in their hearts.
As Wang Qidong pressed the play button, sound came from the speakers in the room.
As soon as the voice sounded, Wang Qidong's face showed confusion.
The first thing he heard was the wind.
The next second, a sound like a wind chime rang.
The sound was crisp, mixed with the sound of the wind, as if a breeze was blowing, very fresh.
After hearing these two sentences, one of the lyricists present slapped his thigh.
But when the prelude music continued to play, Wang Qidong's face showed a look of shock.
When I listened to the songs in Xu Ye's album before, everyone could comment a few words.
How can such lyrics not be beautiful?
"Both the cat and you want to know the taste of saury~"
Since he and Xiao Xu met in summer and held hands in summer, this album is also in summer.
The twenty-six-second prelude had already attracted everyone's attention.
These three king-level people collided and created this song that is still called a masterpiece even after twenty years.
"I have to study hard!"
If Qilixiang is not played in the ninth song, how come everyone feels "shocked" when they hear the tenth song.
Speaking of songs about summer, we cannot avoid the song "Qili Xiang".
At this moment, Wang Qidong was not the only one who was surprised, everyone present showed surprise on their faces.
Ten seconds later, the sound of a lot of musical instruments came again, and the emotion of the entire prelude was once again heightened.
"The pencil in my hand goes back and forth on the paper~"
Lyrics were written by Fang Wenshan, music was composed by Jay Chou, and arranged by Zhong Xingmin.
Wang Qidong's brows were already frowning.
Originally he wanted to ask a question, but when he opened his mouth, he saw Wang Qidong raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to stop talking.
"The fragrance of first love is found by us in this way~"
The next second, Xu Ye's singing voice came.
The imagery in the lyrics is really strong.
But what shocked the people present the most was that the song "Qili Xiang" actually avoided overdubbing, an unavoidable problem in melody creation.
Yuan Xuwen also felt that if he spoke at this time, it would ruin the atmosphere of the entire song, so he kept his mouth shut.
"When you say this, it feels like summer~"
Xu Ye's singing continued.
Overdubbing is a taboo in popular music composition. Once it appears, it will limit and reduce the musicality.
For a moment, he couldn't figure out what instrument the sound was made from.
In fact, several people already had goosebumps on their bodies just by hearing this prelude.
According to Fang Wenshan himself, when he wrote the lyrics of the song "Qili Xiang", he did not write them as lyrics, but as a poem.
What kind of prelude is this? It’s a bit outrageous!
"The sparrow outside the window is talking too much on the telephone pole~"
This is the prelude to kill!
Unless he listens slowly and analyzes it now, he won't be able to judge at all.
This song is completely different from what everyone expected!
Yuan Xuwen is slightly less capable in composing, but he can also feel that this intro is amazing.
As soon as this song came out, everyone present had an idea in their minds.
At first, Wang Qidong was still thinking about what instrument this was and what sounds were sampled here, but after only five seconds passed, he gave up.
The singing started, and the group of old men present felt that they were several years younger.
The song "Qilixiang" is from Jay Chou's album of the same name, released in 2004.
Xu Ye almost used a dazzling technique in his composition, which made the whole song less repetitive and added some new ideas.
"I use a few lines to describe who you are to me~"
The reason why this song is placed in the ninth track is purely a bad idea of Xu Ye.
Then this song must be put on the album.
"The warm sunshine is like freshly picked bright strawberries~"
"You said you couldn't bear to eat this feeling~"
Everyone could clearly hear that vocal harmony was used in these two lyrics.
This is relatively common in Xu Ye's works.
But with such a small addition of details, the song feels instantly different.
The next second, the chorus sounded.
"It rained all night, and my love overflowed like rain~"
"The fallen leaves in the yard are filled with my thoughts~"
"A few words of right and wrong can't cool down my enthusiasm~"
"You appear on every page of my poem~"
At this time, Yuan Xuwen had closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa.
Qilixiang's singing brought him back to that summer decades ago.
At that time, Yuan Xuwen was also a famous figure in the school.
Girls hand him little notes every day.
But Yuan Xuwen had no feelings for these girls. The one he remembered most was his deskmate at the time.
The girl who wore a ponytail almost every day for 365 days a year and gave him a bad look.
The small notes handed over by other girls were all handed over by her.
Every time a small piece of paper was brought over, the girl would smile and say a number.
This number represents which piece of paper this is.
At that time, Yuan Xuwen only thought that the girl was teasing him, so he deliberately said this number every time.
Make it look like he is a scumbag.
This situation could have continued forever, but one day Yuan Xuwen was spotted 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 talent scout, he came to school with a proud face and told his classmates the news.
Everyone was cheering, except the girl who didn't speak.
It was still very hot during the day, and it started raining heavily in the afternoon.
After sorting out the school's things, Yuan Xuwen was ready to leave.
For him at the time, this 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 shouted.
The girl came to him and handed him a small note.
"This should be your last picture, go back and look at it again, bye!"
After saying that, the girl turned around and ran back to the classroom.
Yuan Xuwen was no longer interested in the contents of these notes.
He is going to be a star.
When he returned home and opened the small note, he found that the content on the note was written by his deskmate.
There is a serial number and four words on the note.
"I like you."
That day, it was still raining outside the window.
It's a pity that the boy doesn't understand love yet.
"It rained all night, and my love overflowed like rain~"
"Butterflies on the window sill are like beautiful chapters flying in a poem~"
"I will continue writing and put my eternal love for you at the end of the poem~"
"You are the only one I want to know~"
When the last line of the lyrics appeared, Wang Qidong couldn't help but said: "Preface to Lanting!"
Everyone here has listened to the song "Lanting Preface" over and over again at least dozens of times.
As soon as Wang Qidong said it, everyone started thinking about it.
There is a lyric in "Lanting Preface" that is "But I only lack your understanding in my life."
And at the end of "Qili Xiang", it is "You are the only one I want to know."
This also echoes.
When the chorus ends, the interlude plays.
Wang Qidong immediately heard that sampled wind sounds were still used here.
He finally recognized the sound of the instrument. It was the sound of a vibrator. The sound of this instrument was clearer and more translucent.
At this time, Yuan Xuwen had already fallen into memories.
Boys always mature later than girls psychologically. I don’t know how many boys have grown up and realized that the message the girl wrote to me was a confession to me.
But the boys at that time never thought about it.
In the interlude where there was originally only the sound of vibraphone and wind, magnificent string music sounded.
At this moment, Yuan Xuwen felt his eyes sore and almost shed tears.
Whether he is in love with the song or because he is a singer, it is easier for him to empathize with his emotions.
"It's so exciting this time!"
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 word spread, it wouldn't be a hot search topic. Fortunately, I didn't cry.
When the interlude ends, the B section of the chorus enters.
Then after a turn, we return to the main song.
"The plump ears of rice bring happiness throughout the season~" "And your cheeks are like ripe tomatoes in the field~"
"You suddenly said to me, Qilixiang's name is very beautiful~"
"At this moment, I just want to kiss your stubborn mouth~"
The main song of this section is obviously foreshadowing the climax that follows.
Qilixiang's singing echoed throughout the room.
When the entire song is over, the outro returns to the style of the intro and interlude.
The wind sound in the sample sounded again.
Qilixiang comes with the wind and goes with the wind.
When the music stopped, the room fell silent.
Everyone was immersed in the beauty brought by this song.
Finally, Wang Qidong spoke.
He only said four words.
"Listen again!"
What he was thinking was, it sounds so damn good!
Listening to this song once is not enough, you must listen to it several times.
By the way, you can also learn something about it.
"Qilixiang", this is a picturesque lyrical love song.
And today, the beauty of "Qili Xiang" has been heard by millions of people.
After the first wave of ordinary listeners listened to it, they couldn't tell what was awesome about it, but everyone felt the same way.
That sounds great!
sounds amazing!
The intro is good, the verse is good, the chorus is good, the interlude is good, and even the outro is good, there is nothing unpleasant about it.
"I love this song Qilixiang. It's so nice. 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 dreamy connection between the lyrics and Lan Tingxu?"
On the Internet, some netizens have already started discussing it.
Everyone doesn’t know how to arrange or compose music, but they 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 "Lanting Preface" on the show. In the final singing session, he sang "Happy Birthday Song".
After the show was aired, everyone only remembered Xu Ye's erhu version of Happy Birthday.
Later, although someone determined based on the recording time of the program that the day Xu Ye sang Happy Birthday happened to be Xiao Xu's birthday, not many people cared.
It was only after Xu and Xu Rusheng were really together that these small details of the past were revealed.
However, no one paid attention to the song "Lanting Preface".
After all, this song is written with the theme of the Forbidden City. Although it is a love song, it is written with the preface of Lanting.
But as soon as Qilixiang's lyrics came out, this group of fans couldn't sit still.
"Xu Ye was singing that day and I am the only one who lacks your lifelong understanding. Xiao Xu was in the audience! These lyrics were sung by Xu Ye to Xiao Xu!"
"I didn't expect that almost a year later, that lyric actually had a response today. You are the only one I want to understand! It is still sung to Xiao Xu!"
"Isn't this planned by Xu Ye?"
Netizens were shocked by this response after a year.
If this was really planned by Xu Ye, it would be too outrageous.
However, what puzzles netizens is that today's music scene is a bit too quiet.
Usually after Xu Ye's new song is released, a lot of music reviews will come out soon, some are praising and some are criticizing. Anyway, it is just like the Spring Festival Gala in the music industry, it is definitely very lively.
"Where are the music critics? Why aren't you talking? Are you still awake?"
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? It's okay if you don't post music reviews and wear black stockings. Don't just say something."
"Everyone, please move. I think this song is very nice. Isn't this a casual comment?"
What netizens don’t know is that the entire music world is now in shock.
Liu Ye, a music critic with millions of fans, is one of the music critics who received money to give negative reviews of "Aile" online.
After the new song was released today, he came to listen to it immediately.
After listening, Liu Ye was dumbfounded.
He listened a second time, a third time, a fourth time...
He listened to it over and over again, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became.
The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.
After listening to it several times, Liu Ye could already tell how awesome this song was.
It's not simply awesome, it's quite awesome.
The level of this song is top-notch in the entire Chinese music scene!
And it’s not the kind that is great in one aspect but not good in other aspects.
This song is very strong overall.
Liu Ye felt his face hurt when he thought of the Weibo post he posted.
"Xu Ye, you did it on purpose. You didn't put such an awesome song in the first one. You put it in the penultimate one. Why did you release this song so early and Yuan Xuwen did it!"
In Liu Ye's opinion, the song "Qili Xiang" is enough to make a god.
If this song had been released first, the sales of the album would have already gone up.
King of heaven?
Just stand back for a moment.
Now Liu Ye is riding a tiger and is in a difficult position.
Should I write a music review for this song "Qili Xiang" or not.
His cell phone vibrated continuously.
Several music groups he has joined are already buzzing, and they are all discussing "Qili Xiang".
"This music review is difficult to write. Can someone help me break down the score?"
"I analyzed something and came up with it. Let's see if it's correct."
"Dude, I've been looping the single for an hour. Why are you writing a music review? Listen to the song first!"
In the group, everyone was chatting enthusiastically.
Liu Ye just wants to delete the Weibo post he wrote before. It's too early to say ugly words.
Who would have thought that you already released eight songs on your album, but the ninth song is the best!
Are you sick!
On the other side, the famous composer Zhang Yao also finished listening to "Qili Xiang".
He was a professional composer, and he noticed something was wrong when he listened to it.
A question kept popping up in his mind.
"Is this still possible?"
After listening to the song, Zhang Yao felt that he had learned something.
"Just listening to the song is not enough. I have to break down the entire song and analyze it carefully."
Zhang Yao immediately turned on the computer and started working.
This teaching bureau!
All over the country, countless musicians are immersed in the shock brought to everyone by "Qili Xiang".
When it was past three o'clock, the first wave of music reviews came belatedly.
"It's a god-like work. Let me share my thoughts on Qilixiang!"
"At the end of summer, thank you Qilixiang for bringing us the last scorching heat!"
“You don’t have to buy Philharmonic, but you have to listen to Qilixiang.”
……
At this moment, the music critics all transformed into a praise group.
Netizens were stunned.
"What's going on? Xu Ye spent money to buy navy troops?"
"Is Qilixiang so good?"
"The dean couldn't bear the scolding anymore, so he started spending money to buy music reviews. You can't buy it like this. You have to buy a few bad reviews to make it look real."
A few hours later, the second wave of music critics also came.
This time the music review is analyzed from a professional perspective.
Zhang Yao even released the fruits of his labor on Weibo.
The score of "Qili Xiang".
On 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 just said why it sounds so good. It turns out it's because of Xu Ye's design in composing and arranging the music."
"The lyrics are also well written and match the music very well."
"What the hell? Did the dean bring us a plate of fine chaff this time?"
On Weibo, the topic of Qilixiang directly topped the list of hot searches.
The whole wind direction has changed.
Those who said that Xu Ye didn't have a king were all shut up.
When these people say these things, they really feel that the songs in the album are almost finished, so there is no need to put good songs at the end.
So the quality of Xu Ye's remaining songs must be at a normal level.
But now Qilixiang has come out.
On Penguin Music, the sales of the album "Philharmonic" surged rapidly, even faster than in the past few days.
Many people who were waiting and watching couldn't bear it anymore after hearing Qilixiang's song.
If you don’t buy it now, wait until later!
The penultimate song is so great, how can it be ranked first?
You will definitely not suffer any loss if you buy it!
When the time came to 10 o'clock on Friday morning, the album sales of "Aiyue" were updated.
With sales of 273 million copies, the total number directly surpassed Yuan Xuwen's "Spirits".
This result was already expected by everyone.
At this time, Xu Ye posted on Weibo.
"Do you want to listen to the three complimentary songs first, or do you want to listen to the tenth song of the album first? Everyone decides by voting."
