The two instantly became a little sympathetic to each other.
Especially Boss Huang, the way he looks at Lin Xia now is full of admiration.
From Boss Huang's point of view, it's really remarkable that Lin Xia, at such a young age, has such great talent and can do so many things.
Even their boss at Warner Bros. has no way to compare with Lin Xia.
After all, the boss of Warner has gone through many years of development and is now able to compete with Universal Entertainment on a global scale.
But now Lin Xia has the ability to challenge Universal Entertainment at a young age, and facing Universal Entertainment, it can be said that he is not weak at all.
The courage and talent that Lin Xia has shown now can be said to have completely conquered Boss Huang.
At this time, Boss Huang's arrangement ability also made Lin Xia feel very satisfied.
And, now that I have decided to make an album, I might as well just go ahead and make it.
Now that the show has not ended, there is no guarantee when we will be able to sit together and talk about music like this again.
So Lin Xia and Boss Huang took advantage of the current momentum and the feeling of being very excited to start the production of the second song.
"The name of this song is "Mercury"."
"Mercury?"
"Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, but it cannot escape its orbit or get closer to the sun.
So I planned to use Mercury’s movement with the sun as a metaphor for the emotional relationship between people that is both far and near, and use anthropomorphic creative techniques and musical orchestration and production methods that are biased towards science fiction to create this song.”
After Lin Xia expressed his idea, Boss Huang couldn't help but feel surprised.
Boss Huang was not only surprised by Lin Xia's wild idea, but he was even more surprised that Lin Xia actually knew the relevant knowledge about astronomy.
However, during Lin Xia's creative process, Boss Huang listened to Lin Xia's many ideas for this song.
At this time, Boss Huang was also filled with emotions.
Although there are many differences between these Chinese musical works and many foreign musical works.
But after actually experiencing it, Boss Huang felt that Huaxia's music was indeed very profound, just like the song "Mercury" that Lin Xia is currently composing.
"Mercury" is a love song full of profound meaning. It does not use straightforward lyrics. Instead, it draws on Hong Kong style and uses slightly cold and depressive wording to elaborate on the relationship between "Mercury" and "The Sun".
subtle relationship.
On the surface, this song describes astronomical phenomena, with some "sci-fi" elements, but deep down, it is a profound insight into the world.
This song cleverly integrates emotional stories into the astronomical background, using the companionship of Mercury and the sun as a metaphor, showing the warm emotions of silent companionship.
"Fascinated by your eyes, the Milky Way has traces to follow. Through the gaps in time, it still truly attracts me."
These lyrics not only describe the sun's position as the center of the solar system and the scene of Mercury being attracted by its dazzling light, but also imply an expression of deep affection.
The sun is the source of light and heat, and Mercury, as the planet closest to the sun, is naturally attracted to it.
The song thus implies a profound emotional bond. Mercury's obsession with the sun is like people's persistent pursuit of love.
"This fleeting scene, the most intimate distance, along the texture of your skin, walking through the twists and turns of your arms, I have a dream for you, I have a dream for you. Wait until I see your silver borders, wait until I can't tell the change of seasons,
Dare I say addiction."
This lyrics is based on the path of Mercury around the sun, allegorically depicting the longing, waiting and devotion in love.
Mercury has a harsh environment and is covered with craters, which are vividly compared to the texture of skin, emphasizing the ups and downs of love.
The long day of Mercury symbolizes the suffering and expectation of love. Despite this, Mercury still pursues the sun firmly, even though it knows that the distance between them is insurmountable.
"How far do I need to go to enter your heart? How long do I need to get close to you? The person who is so close but so far away but cannot get close is also waiting to meet you. How can the planets traveling around have you?"
This lyric expresses the helplessness and expectation in love.
The distance between Mercury and the Sun seems to be an insurmountable gap in the emotional world, but even so, there is still endless expectation and waiting.
Mercury is also known as "Chenxing", and its relationship with the sun is given more emotional color in the song.
Their synchronized trajectories symbolize tacit understanding and harmony, but the distance of 57.9 million kilometers never allows them to truly get closer.
This kind of inseparable emotional relationship makes people deeply regretful, and they also hope that they can finally get together.
In the world of love, he firmly believes that it is a journey where two hearts rush to each other.
Since Mercury is approaching the sun so eagerly, the sun must also be eager to approach Mercury deep in its heart.
Mercury treats every encounter as a treasure, and presumably the Sun does the same.
However, Mercury has its own trajectory and cannot always revolve around the sun.
This has become a hidden worry in its heart, because its wish is to always be with the sun.
"How to explore, how lucky you must be, to let you discover that you are not alone. When I can continue to fly with you, traveling around is boring, at least I can accompany you."
He thought about how he could truly be with her? How much luck would he need to realize this dream?
Although he has the lightest mass in the solar system and seems insignificant, he sincerely hopes that the sun knows that it is not alone in her world.
There are 8 planets and many satellites accompanying her around, and he is willing to become one of them.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He made up his mind to stay with the sun no matter what the outcome.
He hopes that one day, Solar Energy will see him and be willing to complete this journey with him. Whether they can truly be together, perhaps only time can tell the answer.
Even if they can't be together, being able to always be by her side is what he pursues.
Mercury, as the planet closest to the sun, has integrated into the life of the sun, but found that the sun has many suitors, and most of them are better than him.
However, he still sticks to Sun's side, looking forward to her attention.
After listening to Lin Xia's thoughts on the entire song and the creation of the entire lyrics.
At this time, Boss Huang was also on the side and began to think about the arrangement and production of this song.
At the beginning of this song, you can use piano and electric guitar to interweave a beautiful melody.
The notes of the electric guitar descend gently, injecting moving emotions into the melody, while the piano moves upward, laying a solid harmonic foundation for the entire music.
This up and down difference in notes brings a unique musical experience to the audience, as if they are feeling the ups and downs of the music.
Different from the traditional Pop music arrangement mode, the producer chose a different approach here.
Normally, the melody part will go up, while the harmony part will go down.
But in this song, the producer cleverly reversed this convention and showed unique musical creativity.
This novel and fashionable arrangement method undoubtedly adds unique charm to this song.
Entering the verse part, the electric guitar tone gradually fades out and is replaced by real human voices.
At the same time, the piano chords also changed from the previous column chords to broken chords.
This method of broken chords highlights the unique graininess of classical piano, giving the music more movement and flexibility.
This method of playing has certain requirements on the player's finger flexibility and muscle memory ability, and also emphasizes the rigor of strength and piano pedal use.
In the first verse, the producer only uses vocals and piano as orchestration, creating a unique atmosphere similar to a classical art song or Opera.
In the second verse of the verse, the bass part was added to balance the low, mid and treble of the music.
This adjustment of timbre makes the entire song richer and more diverse, bringing a more perfect music experience to the audience.
As for arranging, Boss Huang obviously has very strong abilities.
During the arrangement process, Boss Huang even added Lin Xia's style and his own understanding of Lin Xia's song into his arrangement.
In Boss Huang's eyes, Lin Xia's image has been completely enriched at this time.
In Boss Huang’s view, Lin Xia is an all-around creative person who is energetic in appearance, but mature in mind, attitude towards life and musical concepts.
He can blend various musical styles and create unconstrained ideas in the world of music.
Lin Xia has a strong understanding of music. In his music, there are all kinds of unexpected surprises for the audience.
From lyrical POP, BLUES, light rock to R&B, he can create freely.
Lin Xia does not use musical styles to restore an era, but rather uses eras to bring out those musical styles.
Lin Xia still insists on what many professional musicians have given up, and stubbornly believes that the quality of good music, even if it cannot be described in many complicated terms, can still impress the ears and remain in the memory.
He also values the indelible sense of ritual at the moment when a physical CD is made and opened.
From the moment the music is made, it no longer belongs to the author, but to drift and find people who understand. People who understand are worth buying a CD and a good speaker to listen to it and tell it to you.
s story.
Of course, Lin Xia is constantly thinking about how to reorganize rhythm and timbre.
This can even be regarded as the cornerstone of the R&B category. Although his music is no longer in the narrow R&B style, rhythm and music have always been the source of his music.
This song makes extensive use of retro rhythms and simple piano, and is densely packed with a strong flavor of traditional soul music. Inadvertently, with the help of drum beats and guitar undertones, many songs have the texture of Blues Rock and folk songs.
This kind of management makes this song break away from mainstream clichés, makes the song creation more able to withstand scrutiny, and gets rid of the so-called "trend" restrictions.
The first impression Lin Xia's music gave to Boss Huang was not like the work of a musician, but more like a pilot depicting his epic in the sky.
To put it more vividly, Boss Huang feels a bit like Saint-Exupéry (a Frenchman, pilot and writer, whose representative works include the novel "Night Flight", the fairy tale "The Little Prince", etc., and who disappeared during a flight mission in 1944).
Teacher Lin Xia's music is famous for its soulfulness and delicacy. Whether it is melody, arrangement, lyrics, or musical contrast, it is the best choice. He can be called a music pioneer in the Chinese music scene.
The prelude of the song is a combination of piano and electric guitar. Of course, the division of labor is also very clear. The electric guitar goes down and plays the melody part, and the piano goes up and plays the harmony part, which allows the audience to feel a sense of musical gap.
According to the conventional arrangement ideas of pop music, the electric guitar should originally have an upward movement, while the base part should have a downward movement.
Teacher Lin Xia chose to use this unique arrangement idea, which must be said to be very novel and fashionable.
Boss Huang also carefully studied the harmonic direction of Teacher Lin Xia's prelude.
Don't listen to the fact that Teacher Lin Xia's harmonious background and the melody part of the electric guitar have a lot of extremely dissonant sounds (seconds and sevenths are extremely dissonant).
Boss Huang thought he would use at least three chords, such as combinations of Level I, Level IV, and Level V (this combination is the most common form of harmony, including many classical music, modern music and contemporary music
The harmonies written are closely related to these three groups of harmonies).
But Boss Huang, after reading Lin Xia's creation this time, admired Lin Xia even more.
At this time, Lin Xia has truly become a god-like existence in Boss Huang's mind.
But Lin Xia didn't feel the change of Boss Huang.
Because now Lin Xia is completely composing the song Mercury.
Originally, this song was actually extracted by Lin Xia, and he already felt how powerful this song was.
Perhaps as poignant as that one is, this one seems to be easier to sing.
Moreover, this song is also the main song of his album, so Lin Xia was more attentive to the recording and production of this song.
The same song, because of Boss Huang's arrangement, has more highlights than the extracted version.
Because Boss Huang's arrangement ability is indeed very good, and Lin Xia trusts him very much.
At this time, Boss Huang has actually become a very powerful producer in Lin Xia's eyes.
Even according to Lin Xia's current inner thoughts, Lin Xia now has the intention to poach Boss Huang to join his company.
