"Red Beans" is a very famous song in the past life, and is known as the most popular and popular song representative in the "post-Faye Wong era".

In fact, the lyrics and music of this song have a certain story.

Composer Liu Chongyan admires the voice of the queen Faye Wong very much. When he wrote it, he was thinking about how the queen would sing it, so he wrote the song in a few minutes "as if with divine help", breaking her fastest song writing record.

Many people associate "red beans" with "lovesickness" because of the famous ancient poem by poet Wang Wei, "Red beans grow in the south, and a few branches are sprouted in spring. I hope you can pick more, this thing is the most lovesick."

The fact is that the lyrics of this song originated from the fact that the lyricist was watching a Japanese drama when he was writing it. In the drama, when the heroine was cooking red bean rice, she was thinking about breaking up with the hero, and she was distracted and cooked the red beans.

The author thought about the lyrics while following the plot, and thus this lyric was born.

Although this "red bean" is not the same as that "red bean", Ye Zhiqiu thinks it is not a bad idea to combine the poem with the song.

After all, there is no Kimura Takuya in this world, nor the Japanese drama "Love Century".

But 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.

The gentle, slightly sad melody sounded, and many people in the recording studio nodded secretly.

Music director Chen Haitao was deeply touched. He still remembered that he first met Ye Zhiqiu in this recording studio.

At that time, Ye Zhiqiu also played the piano to accompany Yu Caiwei's song "The Wind Rises".

After nearly a year, he found that Ye Zhiqiu's piano playing level had reached a new level...

At this time, Ye Zhiqiu's singing also sounded.

[I haven't felt the climate of snowflakes blooming yet...]

It sounds good!

This is the unanimous feeling of everyone in the recording studio.

It seems that it is also appropriate for Ye Zhiqiu to sing this song?

After singing the first B section of the song, Ye Zhiqiu stopped, and everyone was still a little reluctant to finish.

Ye Zhiqiu said: "That's probably the case. This song is actually more suitable for Sister Fei's voice."

"When singing, the voice should be natural, with some diffusion, but the feeling of form being scattered but the spirit not being scattered."

Next, Ye Zhiqiu tried to sing the two songs "Fleeting Years" and "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting" one after another. Li Wenrui and others beside him became more and more excited as they listened.

All three songs are of very high quality without exception! Everyone is looking forward to the grand occasion after the official launch of this EP.

The happiest person is undoubtedly Chen Fei, who tightly grasped three thin pieces of paper 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 an idea?"

Ye Zhiqiu thought for a while and said: "You can use "Red Bean" as the main song and use this name for the album."

"When promoting, I will attach a poem to it, and the effect should be good."

Everyone in the recording studio was stunned. They didn't expect that there would be such an operation.

"This is my initial idea. Sister Fei, if you have any ideas, please bring them up." Ye Zhiqiu reminded, "There is a poem on the back of the paper "Red Beans". Take a look."

Chen Fei was stunned and quickly turned over the back of the paper. There was indeed a poem written on it - "Red Beans".

Everyone couldn't help but stretch their necks to gather around. The first impression of seeing this poem was "the words are so beautiful"!

The poem "Red Beans" uses concise words. In just a few sentences, it writes about lovesickness in a lingering way. Everyone has some appreciation ability and can easily feel the beauty of the poems.

Think about it carefully. When the EP is released, it will be promoted around this poem...

Chen Fei and her agent looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

Although Ye Zhiqiu's idea was a preliminary one, it was so cool and high-end, what else could be changed!

"Okay! Just follow this." Chen Fei's answer was firm.

After giving Chen Fei three songs, it was Yu Caiwei's turn.

In fact, since the album "The Wind Rises", Yu Caiwei has released many new singles.

Therefore, for Yu Caiwei's new album, after discussing with Huahai Entertainment, it was decided to include several previous excellent works, which is also a common practice in the industry.

After comprehensive consideration, the new album includes four songs: "Shui Tiao Ge Tou", "Always Very Quiet", "Ningxia", and "Do You Know?"

The new album has a total of ten songs, and the other 6 are new songs, and the songs that have been released are not suitable as the title songs of the new album.

Before taking out the new song, Ye Zhiqiu kept it a secret and looked at Yu Caiwei and said, "How is it?"

"Is there any style you want to sing in the new album? Personalized customization is accepted."

Chen Fei and Ding Jie on the side: "..."

This kind of differential treatment is unique.Yu Caiwei tilted her head and thought for a while, then replied, "Love song?"

"Well...preferably a sweet one."

Li Wenrui opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing. He and Song Mei looked at each other with helpless eyes.

"You can have it." Ye Zhiqiu smiled, "but don't make it the main song."

"Don't show off your affection too much, I'll get beaten up on the street."

Yu Caiwei nodded, and she had no objection to this.

Li Wenrui and others breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was a good thing that Ye Zhiqiu stayed sober.

It's not that sweet love songs can't be main songs, 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 style change was so drastic that it was inevitable that some listeners would be lost.

The main song of Chen Fei's EP, "Red Beans", is a love song, but it's not the kind of love song.

And generally speaking, "sad" works are more artistic than "sweet", and there are more angles to tell and express.

——There is only one kind of happiness, but there are many kinds of sadness.

"I'll think about the love song again. Let's take a look at the main song and the other songs first."

Ye Zhiqiu took out the handwritten music score and handed it to Yu Caiwei.

Everyone looked at the song title on the top sheet of paper.

—— "Invisible Wings".

Yu Caiwei took the paper, her eyes did not leave Ye Zhiqiu, and said: "Help me record the demo."

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned, and was about to say something, but he understood the light in Yu Caiwei's eyes, smiled and stood up.

I just recorded it for Chen Fei, and this girl is jealous...

"To be honest, I can't sing that feeling in this song." Ye Zhiqiu took a wooden guitar and smiled bitterly.

He wrote the main songs for Chen Fei and Yu Caiwei after considering the voice characteristics of the two.

Chen Fei's voice is gentle and affectionate, while Yu Caiwei's is ethereal and beautiful, and they are very recognizable.

Yu Caiwei nodded, but she didn't care at all, and her eyes seemed to urge him, "I don't care at all, just start quickly."

Assistant Xiaoru excitedly raised her phone again.

'So handsome, today Brother Ye played the piano and sang the guitar.'
