This Star is Legal But Sick

Chapter 470 "Qili Xiang"

 Obviously, 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?

 Everyone has already made preparations 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 doubts.

 The first thing he heard was the wind.

 The next second, a sound like a wind chime rang.

The sound is clear and crisp, mixed with the sound of the wind, as if a breeze is blowing, very fresh.

Then this song must be put on the album.

 “The pencil in my hand goes back and forth on the paper~”

 The lyrics are written by Fang Wenshan, the music is composed by Jay Chou, and the music is arranged by Zhong Xingmin.

 Even, a few people had goosebumps on their bodies just by hearing this prelude.

How can such lyrics not be beautiful?

These three king-level people collided together and created this song that even after twenty years, is still called a masterpiece by everyone.

 But when the prelude music continued to play, Wang Qidong's face showed a look of shock.

At this moment, Wang Qidong was not the only one who was surprised. Everyone present had a look of surprise on their faces.

Wang Qidong’s brows were already furrowed.

But what shocked the people present the most was that the song "Qili Xiang" actually avoided overdubbing, an unavoidable problem in melody creation.

　　If Qilixiang is not played in the ninth song, why do people feel "shocked" when they hear the tenth song?

Wang Qidong was still thinking about what kind of instrument this was and what sounds were sampled here at first, but after only five seconds passed, he gave up.

 The imagery in the lyrics is really strong.

 What kind of prelude is this? It’s a bit outrageous!

As soon as this song came out, everyone present had an idea in their minds.

 Xu Ye’s singing continues.

 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 taste of Xu Ye.

“The sparrow outside the window is talking too much on the telephone pole~”

 Hearing these two sentences, one of the lyricists present slapped his thigh.

 Ten seconds later, the sound of a large number of musical instruments came again, and the emotion of the entire prelude was once again heightened.

For a moment, he couldn't figure out what kind of musical instrument the sound was made from.

 “I have to study hard!”

Originally, he wanted to ask a question, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Wang Qidong raised his hand and pressed it down to signal everyone to stop talking.

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.

“The fragrance of first love is how we find it~”

 The song "Qilixiang" is from Jay Chou's album of the same name, released in 2004.

 The twenty-six-second prelude has already attracted everyone’s attention.

 Overdubbing is a taboo in popular music composition. Once it appears, it will limit and reduce the musicality.

　　When talking about songs about summer, you cannot avoid the song "Qili Xiang".

 The lyrics of the song "Qili Xiang", according to Fang Wenshan himself, when he wrote it, he did not write it as lyrics, but as a poem.

 “The cat and you both want to know the taste of saury~”

 When I listened to the songs in Xu Ye’s album before, everyone could comment a few words.

 Unless he listens slowly and analyzes it now, he won't be able to judge at all.

 This is the prelude to kill!

“When you say this, it feels like summer~”

This song is completely different from what everyone expected!

Yuan Xuwen is slightly less capable in composing, but he can also feel that this prelude is amazing.

 The next second, Xu Ye's singing voice came.

　　The singing started, and the group of old men present felt that they were several years younger.

 Since he and Xiao Xu met in the summer and held hands in the summer, this album is also in the summer.

 “The warm sunshine is like freshly picked bright strawberries~”

 “You said you couldn’t bear to eat this feeling~”

Everyone can clearly hear that vocal harmony is 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 thick 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.

Yuan Xuwen was also a famous figure in the school at that time.

 Every day, girls hand him small notes.

 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 is sent over, the girl will 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 seem 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 remained silent.

 It was still very hot during the day, and it started raining heavily in the afternoon.

 After putting things in order at the school, Yuan Xuwen was ready to leave.

 For him at the time, this was a relief.

He walked to the corridor carrying his schoolbag, 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 one, go back and look at it again, bye!”

 After saying that, the girl turned around and ran back to the classroom.

Yuan Xuwen is 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 understand~”

　　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 at least dozens of times.

As soon as Wang Qidong said it, everyone started thinking about it.

 There is a line in "Lanting Preface" that says, "I only lack your understanding in my life."

 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 sounds.

Wang Qidong immediately heard that sampled wind sounds were still used here.

He finally recognized the sound of the musical instrument, which was the sound of a vibrato. 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 of it.

 In the interlude where there was originally only the sound of vibraphone and wind, magnificent strings sounded.

At this moment, Yuan Xuwen felt his eyes sore and almost shed tears.

Either 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 use diversion to pull him out of his emotions.

I cried when I listened to Xu Ye’s song. If this spread, it wouldn’t be a hot search topic. Fortunately, I didn’t cry.

 After the interlude ends, the chorus B section enters.

Then after a turn, we return to the main song.

“The plump ears of rice make the whole season happy~” “And your cheeks are like ripe tomatoes in the field~”

 “You suddenly said to me, Qilixiang’s name is very beautiful~”

“I just want to kiss your stubborn mouth at this moment~”

　　The main song of this section is obviously foreshadowing the climax that follows.

　　Qili Xiang’s singing echoed throughout the room.

 When the entire song is over, the ending returns to the style of the intro and interlude.

 The sound of wind in the sample sounded again.

 Seven-mile incense comes with the wind and goes with the wind.

 When the music stopped, there was silence in the room.

　　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 **** good!

Listening to this song once is simply 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.

Today, the beauty of "Qili Xiang" has been heard by millions of people.

 After the first wave of ordinary listeners listened to it, ordinary listeners 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’m so blown away by the 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 Lanting’s preface?”

 On the Internet, some netizens have already started discussing it.

We don’t know how to arrange or compose music, but we 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.

Xu Ye was recording "Wandering Music" at that time and sang the song "Lanting Preface" in the show. In the final singing session, he sang "Happy Birthday Song".

 When the program was aired, everyone only remembered Xu Ye’s erhu version of Happy Birthday.

　　Although someone later 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 got together that these small details of the past were revealed.

 It's just that 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 a preface to Lanting.

 But as soon as Qilixiang’s lyrics came out, this group of fans couldn’t sit still.

“That day Xu Ye was singing and I am the only one who lacks your lifelong understanding, and Xiao Xu was in the audience! These lyrics were sung by Xu Ye to Xiao Xu!”

“Unexpectedly, almost a year later, that lyric actually has 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 appear soon, some are praising and some are criticizing. Anyway, it is 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 silk 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 hearing this, Liu Ye was dumbfounded.

 He listened to it 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.

 A layman can watch the excitement, while an expert can watch the door.

After listening to it several times, Liu Ye could already tell how awesome this song was.

 It's not just awesome, it's quite awesome.

 The level of this song is at the top level 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 in all aspects.

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 enshrine a god.

If this song had been released first, the sales of the album would have already gone up.

The King of Heaven?

 You should stand back first.

Now Liu Ye is riding a tiger and is in a difficult position.

 Should I write a music review for the song "Qili Xiang" or not?

His mobile phone vibrated continuously.

 Several music groups he 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 should I write a music review? Listen to the song first!”

In the group, everyone is chatting enthusiastically.

Liu Ye just wants to delete the Weibo post he wrote before. It’s too early to say something ugly.

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 is a professional composer, and when he listened to it, he noticed something was wrong.

 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 the whole song apart and analyze it carefully.”

 Zhang Yao immediately turned on the computer and started working.

 This teaching bureau!

Across 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.

  “What a god-like work, let’s talk about some of my views on Qilixiang!”

 “At the end of summer, thank you Qilixiang for bringing us the last scorching heat!”

 “You don’t have to buy “Aiyue”, but you must listen to “Qili Xiang”.”

 …

Music critics all turned into a group of praise at this moment.

 Netizens were stunned by this.

"What's going on? Xu Ye spent money to buy navy troops?"

 “Is Qilixiang so good?”

“The dean couldn’t stand the scolding anymore and started spending money to buy music reviews. You can’t buy like this. You have to buy a few bad reviews to make it look real.”

 A few hours later, the second wave of music reviews also came.

 This music review is analyzed from a professional perspective.

 Zhang Yao even released the fruits of his labor on Weibo.

 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 entire wind direction has changed.

Those who said that Xu Ye was not powerful were all shut up.

These people say these things because 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 watching could no longer bear it after hearing the song Qilixiang.

 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 comes at ten o'clock on Friday morning, the album sales of "Philharmonic" will be updated.

 Sold 2.73 million copies, the total number directly surpassed Yuan Xuwen's "Spirits".

 This result was already expected by everyone.

 At this moment, Xu Ye posted a message 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.”
