Chapter 190 "Love Song" (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
When Xu Kong followed Su Zhi onto the stage, not only Xie Yiman, but also several other guests were also a little surprised.
The one with the most expressive expressions is definitely Yang Jiangjie.
For him, Xu Kong didn't choose to sing a new song, so he felt a little confused.
Now that I heard that Su Zhi was planning to sing a new song and that Xu Kong was helping to sing, I felt even more incomprehensible.
But then I thought about it, Su Zhi's new song was most likely written by Xu Kong, and Xu Kong also sang along.
This can be regarded as a head-on confrontation between the two.
"This song is called "Love Song". When the show is broadcast, the official version should be released"
Xu Kong on the stage was holding his guitar and helping Su Zhi introduce it.
Then a slightly sad guitar sound sounded.
"Time is amber, every tear is locked"
"No matter how immortal a love letter is, it will be ground into an hourglass"
Su Zhi's singing sounded, and of course Xu Kong's voice was included.
However, Su Zhi's voice is the main one. Although Xu Kong's singing can be heard, it is not obvious.
At this time, Xie Yiman immediately realized that Su Zhi's new song was not a duet with Xu Kong.
Xu Kong just played the role of helping to sing harmony.
Moreover, only the first two lines of lyrics help in the chorus, and they do not dominate the song. This song is mainly composed by Su Zhi.
"Destiny is so humorous that it makes those you love silent"
"A whole universe for one red bean"
Su Zhi's singing continued.
Xie Yiman also had to lament that compared to when he first met Su Zhi, Su Zhi was completely different now, both in terms of stage and singing skills.
Although she is indeed young, the diva's style and temperament have become more and more obvious in the past two years.
What's more important is that with songwriters like Xu Kong helping to write tailor-made songs, it can be said that Su Zhi's career as a singer is far from over.
It was hard for her not to feel envious.
If she could have a songwriter like Xu Kong to help her write songs, the result might not be what it is now.
……
At this time, Su Zhi had already sang the chorus.
"You wrote me, my first song"
"You and I, fingers clasped together, write the prelude silently"
"But what happens next"
As Xu Kong's harmony reappeared, Xie Yiman felt as if his body had been suddenly shocked, and goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body.
Although Xu Kong only sang a few lines of harmony, he played a key role in the performance of the entire song.
And the most important thing is that this song is completely within Su Zhi's most suitable comfort zone.
After Su Zhi debuted, she became famous for similar love songs.
Several of his early masterpieces were of similar styles.
So the new song Xu Kong wrote for him this time was extremely easy for Su Zhiben to sing.
This kind of "Love Song", which is told in a gentle and slightly sad way like telling a story, seems to be completely tailor-made for Su Zhi.
"Sing with me, sing your love songs a cappella"
"Reluctant, short chorus"
At the last part of the song, Xu Kong's harmony part became louder and louder, and it even felt like he was singing a duet with Su Zhi.
Although there wasn't much of an audience.
But Xie Yiman couldn't help but stand up and applaud.
The tacit understanding between Xu Kong and Su Zhi is too high.
The completion of the entire stage is absolutely perfect.
Whether it's Su Zhi's stage presence when singing or Xu Kong's finishing touch of harmony, both are impressive.
Moreover, the lyrics and melody of the entire song are also excellent.
In addition to Xie Yiman, Lu Liangjun and Hu Shaoning also performed very pleasantly.
And the most important thing is that all the guests present now thought about it.
This is only the second song in Su Zhi's album.
Surprisingly, it is still able to maintain such a high quality.
If all the subsequent songs are like this, then Su Zhi's album will definitely reach a very terrifying height.
"I'm even more looking forward to the other songs in your follow-up album."
After Su Zhi stepped down, Xie Yiman said with a smile.
Of course, she had something else to say.
She was very envious that Su Zhi could have an album producer like Xu Kong.
Only colleagues like them know how valuable Xu Kong is as a songwriter despite his high reputation.
In an unknown corner, Yang Jiangjie's mood was very complicated.
He is indeed very conceited and looks down upon most of his peers in the current Chinese music scene.
But I have to admit that the song Xu Kong wrote for Su Zhi is of high quality.
Moreover, the collaboration between the two just now was also an almost perfect performance.
It's just that this feeling of becoming a transparent person again, without any sense of existence, is really uncomfortable.
After the performances of several guests were over, the follow-up program was also recorded to the final finishing stage.
Although it was recorded in advance, it was broadcast during the Mid-Autumn Festival after all, so at the suggestion of the program team, several people looked at the camera and said together:
"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"
After recording this last one, the entire program will be recorded.
However, Xu Kong is still communicating with the program team about the sound source of Su Zhi's new song.
Because the sound source of the program is exclusively signed with Cloud Music.
Therefore, the live version can only be posted on Cloud Music.
However, the studio version recorded by Su Zhi and Xu Kong is still the same as the previous plan and will be released on both major music platforms.
The same goes for the finished song MV.
After the recording, I had already walked around Star City once before coming here.
So Xu Kong and Su Zhi did not stay here anymore and returned to the capital directly.
After all, it is the second song of the album. This time I did not choose to release it directly, but promoted it by singing it for the first time on a variety show.
Follow-up promotion work will definitely still need to be done.
As for Xu Kong himself, he has continued to work on the post-finishing work of "The Long Season".
At present, there are only a few episodes left, and it is estimated that it will be completed within this month.
Penguin didn't push it, and producer Ding Decong also said that it would be fine to follow Xu Kong's own pace.
Time flies and comes to the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Although it is a holiday, Fat Bird still started broadcasting early.
The main reason is because today is the broadcast time of the latest program of "Autumn Concert".
And the official Weibo of the program team has released the list of guests early.
Xu Kong is indeed among them.
And besides Xu Kong, Su Zhi also attended.
This is something that surprises netizens even more than the previous gossip.
After all, Su Zhi and Xu Kong have almost never been in the same frame since last year's "Our Song".
Su Xu's CP gang members started to party early. It can be said that thanks to Xu Kong and Su Zhi, "Autumn Concert", a program that had been gradually declining in popularity, suddenly became the most popular variety show recently.
“Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!”
Fat Bird just started broadcasting. He simply said hello, and nearly 10,000 people had already poured into the live broadcast room.
But what made him quite helpless was that among them, there were quite a lot of CP fans of Xu Kong and Su Zhi.
I don’t know when, but this group feels like it’s getting stronger.
A few months ago, when the popular Fairy Sword was aired, it was still a time when CP fans of Xu Kong and Song Youyou were partying.
Not long after, the news of Su Zhi's new album was released. Just the title of the album "Su Xu" completely changed the original situation.
Amidst the changes, only the self-media company Feiniao remains standing.
It can be said that the composition of the people in his live broadcast room is quite complex.
Xu Kong’s personal fan, two CP fans, Xu Kong’s black man, and a fun-loving person.
"I'm just a person who listens to songs and makes critical comments. Don't make things difficult for me. Let's watch the show together."
Fat Bird said with a wry smile.
Then he ignored the comments asking whether he was Su Xu or Xu You.
"Although Xie Yiman is a bit funny and has recently begun to accept a large number of variety shows, he is still very serious when singing. There is almost no regression between his singing skills and the performance."
Fat Bird directly chose to skip the early chat part.
Anyway, whether he likes it or not is another matter, but the audience in the live broadcast room will definitely not buy it.
So I just started watching the show.
As for the chat with the previous guests, I can just make up for it later when I have time.
"The styles of these two are indeed very different, but they are complementary. It is normal for them to become partners."
Fat Bird had only known about the combination of Lu Liangjun and Hu Shaoning, and was not very interested in their works, nor did he comment too much on them.
It wasn't until Yang Jiangjie came on the stage that Fat Bird's eyes lit up.
After all, it is a new song, and Fat Bird has the most comments.
“Overall, the quality is very good.”
"But among his previous albums, it was just below average."
"However, it can be seen from Yang Jiangjie's new song that he has a similar trend to some singer-songwriters."
"That's because the style of the song is a bit too similar. On the contrary, this song didn't surprise me as much as the Cantonese song he sang in the first issue."
"Don't take it seriously, I'm afraid he will become the second Rong Xiabing by then"
Finally arrived at Xu Kong.
But what makes Fat Bird a little disappointed is that Xu Kong did not choose to sing a new song this time.
Instead, he sang the interlude "It's Always Quiet" before Fairy Sword
Although it is definitely a surprise for the audience of Fairy Sword.
But in comparison, Fat Bird's career still makes him hope that Xu Kong can sing new songs in this episode.
"Are Su Zhi's songs from the new album?"
Someone on the barrage had already jumped over to watch Su Zhi's performance. This made Fat Bird eager to continue watching after commenting on Xu Kong's performance.
"Xu Kong's harmony is simply the finishing touch. The two people's tacit understanding is so high!"
After listening to the first part, Fat Bird couldn't help but speak.
"The style of this song is very similar to the type of love songs that Su Zhi is best at in the past, but the lyrics and melody are better."
Fat Bird listened to the whole song and was very surprised.
The second song in the new album released by Su Zhi this time is of very high quality!
And although the style is different from the previous "The Wind Rises", it fits Su Zhi very well.
Most of the credit for this must go to Xu Kong, the album producer.
Including the harmonious design he helped with, as well as the most impressive guitar part in the intro of the entire song.
"And there is a mv?"
Fat Bird was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that he had been watching the show live and had no time to pay attention to the news online.
At this time, after being reminded by netizens in the live broadcast room, I found out that Su Zhi Studio had released the MV for this new song when the show was broadcast.
At this time, the entry "Su Zhi's new song mv" has directly reached the top of Weibo's hot searches.
It is even more popular than the latest program "Autumn Concert", which is updated and aired at the same time.
"Is the number of views almost approaching 8 million?!"
Fat Bird looked at the data of this video and couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
He probably only watched about half an hour of the program, which means that in just half an hour, the MV of Su Zhi's new song had such a high number of views.
Fat Bird didn't read the comments, but directly clicked on the mv.
""Love Song""
"Su Zhi"
"Lyrics and music composed by: Xu Kong"
As expected from the subtitles, Xu Kong still took over the production of the entire song.
But what is different this time is that in addition to these, there is also a conspicuous reminder of "Director: Xu Kong".
In other words, the MV for this song was also shot by Xu Kong himself.
"Fortunately, I have this love song of mine"
"Gently, humming gently, crying and laughing"
"Mine forever"
It's still the same song, but this time there's a MV, which gives Fat Bird an experience he never had before.
"Su Zhi and Xu Kong actually acted in person?"
"Damn it, they look better together in school uniforms!"
"I report that someone is using the music video to fall in love."
Xu Kong and Su Zhi appeared in person, which made netizens who watched the MV for the first time excited.
At this time, Fat Bird, although he felt the same way, still tried his best to remain professional.
"Xu Kong is indeed a professional. This MV captures the soul of the entire song."
"Although it is just a very simple story, almost no shots are wasted. The secret love in youth, missing, and letting go. These very delicate emotions are all captured so well!"
As Su Zhi's last line of lyrics ended, the accompaniment gradually became quieter.
But at this time, there were parts in the MV that were not seen in the previous shows.
The camera panned to a close-up of an old tape player, and Xu Kong's singing voice came from inside:
"Forever, forever"
Fat Bird almost couldn't help but scream in admiration.
The design of the male harmonies adds a lot to the song itself.
But after watching the entire MV, the feeling became even stronger.
And this ending, which is like an Easter egg, is like a divine surprise.
"I declare unilaterally that this "Love Song" is definitely the best one among all Su Zhi's works of the same type so far!"
"The song itself can already have a score of 9 or above."
"It's really rare that mv can bring additional bonuses."
Fat Bird himself didn't care if others said he was "promising", so he immediately started boasting about it.
Moreover, these words are completely my true feelings, so I can say them without any burden.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone!
