Chapter 87 Arrangement and Choreography
EXID's comeback single album, in addition to the confirmed title song "UP&DOWN", there will also be a non-title song.
Li Haoyang originally wanted to write another song by himself, but then he thought about it and hoped that Li Chengyin could come up with another song. It doesn't have to be a new song, but an old song he has already released can be used.
Finally, Li Chengyin thought about it and decided to take out "You(=I)" and let the girls try it first. Although it felt different, it was actually quite sweet.
In particular, Seo Huilin, Jiang Huiyan and Luo Hailing are all very suitable for this song. She looks much younger after her short hair. Jiang Huiyan, who is definitely believed to be the youngest member of the group, is an unexpected fit.
And the special voices of Ahn Hyo Jin and Heo Sol Ji have a contrasting taste of being malicious and cute, which is actually quite interesting.
Of course, if you look at it in conjunction with the title song, it feels like a royal sister coming to play the role of a little girl. The main theme is a contrast.
"Hahaha, this sounds quite interesting."
During the trial recording, Jiang Huiyan sneaked out while the other members were crowded in the recording studio, pretending to listen to the effects outside, but in fact she stood next to Li Chengyin and peeked at him as he worked seriously.
Li Chengyin turned around when he heard the sound, saw her smiling, shook his head and said, "Why are you sneaking out?"
Jiang Huiyan stuck out her tongue and said, "I don't mean to sneak away. I've finished the audition and it's not my time yet."
Li Chengyin didn't bother to argue with her. He leaned over to watch the argument between Li Haoyang and the recording engineers. Although it was his contribution to the song, his song itself only had a simple arrangement. It could even be said that it was omitted.
A formal song is obviously not enough.
So they need to re-arrange the song, add drum beats, and also need to include rap parts depending on the situation. After all, this is also a feature of girl group songs. Otherwise, people like Ahn Hyo Jin and Jiang Huiyan who are not outstanding when singing alone will always
Let’s allocate specific parts to them.
And it is normal for songs like this to be adapted twice, otherwise there would be no freshness.
"I think they can just add a paragraph here in the second paragraph. As for the rap words, they can write them themselves..."
"I think it's better to connect it after the first chorus, and then go directly to the verse part."
"Wouldn't this be too abrupt?"
"Try the effect first. Anyway, whether you should add it or not depends on the situation. If you have to add a rap verse, should the lyrics also be changed appropriately?"
Li Haoyang looked back at Li Chengyin. Li Chengyin touched his chin and nodded: "Okay, anyway, the big framework is here. It's okay to slightly change some words to better meet our needs."
As a songwriter, if he says it’s okay, then of course it’s okay.
However, Li Haoyang laughed at this time and said: "I have always had a question, how can Chengyin XI write lyrics that fit the feelings of a little girl?"
As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Jiang Huiyan next to him.
Although he didn't mind Li Chengyin's contact with them, was it too blatant to run out like this?
Jiang Huiyan understood this and immediately turned back silently, feeling a little embarrassed in her heart.
She hasn't seen Li Chengyin for a long time. She has been thinking about him while training, so she can't control it.
Li Chengyin shrugged and said: "Just read some novels, movies and TV shows, and you will know if you pay more attention to the people around you. It shouldn't be difficult, right? Could it be that those cute songs written by President Nim are also because he thinks he is cute?
”
Li Haoyang's face darkened, and he coughed lightly and directly dismissed the topic.
Of course what Li Chengyin said is true. Although creators often incorporate their own experiences and feelings into their works, some are purely based on imagination and speculation, and many are accumulated from other works they have seen.
p>
Just like "Harry Potter", the author does not know magic, nor has he really seen such a magical world. He does not rely on imagination, daily accumulation, and also incorporates some of his own experiences, thoughts and feelings into it.<
/p>
The same is true when it comes to songwriting and songwriting. This is why when Li Chengyin guided Park Chulong to write lyrics before, he always emphasized the need to read more books and accumulate more, so that he can write things and not be empty-headed when he wants to express himself.
"Then let's discuss it again, you..." Li Haoyang looked at Li Chengyin, smiled and said: "Why don't you go visit their practice room again and see if you can get any more inspiration?"
This is a bit of a joke, but I really want Li Chengyin to take a look at EXID's dance choreography and see if he has any other ideas.
For the song "Up and Down", Li Chengyin has not only contributed a song, but also contributed ideas for the MV and personal makeup. As for the dance, he has never seen how they dance.
p>
But he has seen the MV scenes in Tianqi, but it is a bit difficult for him to imitate them.
If there is anything that Li Chengyin is not particularly good at, he thinks dancing should be one of them. In fact, his athletic talent is not bad and his hand and foot coordination is good, but he tends to get stuck when dancing.
But you can barely do it by describing the actions you want to see and then guiding and correcting them accordingly.
But of course he wouldn't just tell the choreographer "What do I think?" right off the bat. Instead, he would watch the dance moves they were choreographing twice first.
In fact, the dance in that MV is not complete, but the group will be on the show to compete in singing, so there must be a coherent arrangement of the entire song.
This allows Li Chengyin to put forward his own opinions and ideas without any psychological burden. For example, he only said that he thought of some moves, and then asked the choreographer if he could use them, and if so, how to insert them into the complete dance. Then
This is what they have to consider, not their own problems.
"Consamida, Chengyin XI, your suggestion is very useful, we will seriously consider it..."
Judging from the expression, this is certainly not perfunctory. Although everyone knows that Li Chengyin has a special status, president Li Haoyang thinks highly of him, and he has some reputation as a consultant, what he said is indeed useful.
It can also be seen that Li Chengyin is not good at dancing, but he just has a good idea. Of course, they will not accept everything, and they will still have to see if it is suitable.
The final result may not be exactly the same as the MV that Li Chengyin saw, but he still believes that professional people may move differently, but they are just developing in different directions, which does not mean that they can only be exactly the same.<
/p>
After all, other people are different from him and do not have such preconceived ideas.
"I'll send you..."
When she heard that Li Chengyin had something to do and had to leave first, Jiang Huiyan immediately stood up and told the choreographer.
Of course this was inappropriate, so Li Chengyin wanted to refuse, but the teacher over there glanced at the girls next to him and smiled: "I think everyone is tired too, let's take a rest first..."
"Oh..."
As soon as these words came out, the girls relaxed one after another. For example, An Xiyan simply sat down on the spot, while Luo Hailing glanced at Li Chengyin, seeming to be annoyed that she did not stand up.
