Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 151 Interview
"Wu Zhuo, let's talk about the musical form of the song "To Someone".

I noticed that this song combines many elements, but they don't seem to be inconsistent at all.

Moreover, judging from the current reviews of this song online, it has become a trend for this song to become a quite popular song.

How did you come up with the idea for this song?"

On the 25th, United Daily News contacted Wu Chao and wanted to interview him.

Wu Zhuo agreed.

The two parties met at a cafe not far from Huayan.

The person who came to interview Wu Zhuo was Wang Xian, the editor-in-chief of the music magazine under the United Daily News.

Wu Zhuo also follows him.

Wu Zhuo has also read his article "A New Chinese Music Form is Emerging".

Wu Zhuo was very satisfied with Z.POP proposed by Wang Xian. This person was really his mouthpiece and wrote down everything he wanted to say.

When they arrived at the coffee shop, the two sides exchanged a few brief words and the interview began immediately.

Wang Xian’s first question was about the creative idea behind the song “To Someone”.

“Actually, this isn’t the first time I’ve written this type of song.

If you paid attention to Fahrenheit's first album, "Fahrenheit", you will find that the song "Super Style" is actually in this musical form, but it is relatively immature. "

Opposite Wang Xian, Wu Zhuo was wearing a red headband with a big letter Z on it.

He wore this headband temporarily when he was filming the MV for "To Someone". Unexpectedly, after the song was released, the MV became a hit and his outfit in the MV was loved by many young people.

Especially this headband, young people like it very much and imitate it.

Calvin Chen has a very keen business sense. After the MV was produced, he felt that the headband worn by Nick Wu might be very popular, so he temporarily pulled Nick Wu together to set up a trendy brand, and the first products launched were headbands and wristbands.

Because Wu Zhuo is also the boss, in order to promote this product, Wu Zhuo will wear a headband for a long time.

Wang Xian, who was sitting opposite him, nodded as he wrote down the words in his notebook, "Indeed, the style of that song is indeed like that.

But compared to "To Someone", it's not as good as before.

Will you continue to create songs of this style in the future?"

Wang Xian looked up at Wu Zhuo. He was very concerned about this issue.

"Of course, and you'll be seeing several songs in that style soon."

Although he was filming, Wu Chao seemed very relaxed. He leaned back on the sofa and sat in a relatively comfortable manner.

"What do you mean?" Wang Xian stopped writing.

“Fahrenheit’s second album will be released on April 3rd, and the album promotional song will be released tomorrow.

This song is also by Z.POP.

Haha, speaking of this, thank you Editor Wang for the name. "

Wu Zhuo smiled and continued:
“Seriously speaking, ‘To Someone’ is actually behind a few songs in Fahrenheit’s album.

Personally, I think the quality of these songs is not inferior to "To Someone", and may even be better.

After all, the lyrics of "To Someone"..."

When talking about the lyrics of "To Someone", Wang Xian couldn't help but smile.

The lyrics of this song are really unfriendly to Jimmy Lin.

Because of this song, Jimmy Lin has now become the target of ridicule by almost the entire Internet.

Even the media are saying that Jimmy Lin should now pray that the song "To Someone" will not stand the test of time.

Otherwise, Jimmy Lin will have to follow this song for the rest of his life.

When many people mention Jimmy Lin in the future, they will probably think of this song by Wu Chao, which almost specifically insults Jimmy Lin.

“Back to the music form, how did you come up with the idea of ​​composing this type of song?”

Wang Xian continued to ask.

“In fact, this kind of music form has already been a trend in the Chinese music scene.

I wonder if you have watched Leon Lai's "All Day Love"? "

Wu Zhuo asked back.

"Of course, this song by Leon Lai is the enlightenment work for many DJs." Wang Xian nodded.

“Yes, this song is a fusion of dance music and electronic music, and also has certain rap elements.

I removed the disco elements and added more electronic music and rap.

I personally like rap, I think it's cool.

In the music of recent years, everyone has realized the impact that rap can have on a song.

Whether it is Jay Chou or other singers, they will add rap to the songs......"

Wu Chao briefly talked about the reasons for the fusion of songs.

Wang Xian nodded as he listened.

Finally, he asked a more sensitive question.

“The lyrics of your song ‘To Someone’ are very sensitive, almost targeting someone by name.

Didn't you ever think that this might be too much?

After all, your lyrics are too explicit."

In fact, Wang Xian meant, "Aren't you afraid of offending people by scolding so harshly?"

“I don’t think it’s exaggerated at all, I just speak from my heart.

Besides, you should have heard that I actually have a good temper.

But this doesn't mean I don't have a temper.

A lot of times, I just don’t think it’s necessary.”

Hearing this, Wang Xian stood up and shook hands with Wu Zhuo:

"I admire your personality. You use music to respond to any criticism. You are much better than those people who talk nonsense."

"Thank you!" Wu Zhuo stood up and expressed his gratitude with a smile.

After the interview, Wang Xian invited Wu Chao to dinner in a private capacity.

"Your kind of music is very promising. As long as you keep going, you will definitely be one of the new Four Heavenly Kings."

Since this wasn't an interview, Wang Xian spoke much more casually.

“Among the new generation, few have your potential.

With your subsequent albums, you should finally grasp the opportunity and have a piece of the pie of this new form of music.

Otherwise, there will definitely be a lot of people following suit.”

"I have a different opinion from you, Editor-in-Chief Wang.

I think if someone imitates me, that's their ability, and I very much welcome everyone to imitate me.

After all, only when others imitate you can you prove that you have succeeded.”

Wu Zhuo is really not afraid of imitation.

Let’s not talk about whether anyone can imitate it thoroughly.

Even if there is, for him, as long as he does not fall behind, the more benefits he will receive.

Just like Jay Chou.

There are many people who imitate him, including Xu Song, who is very talented in creation.

But the result was that they not only failed to surpass Jay Chou.

In fact, after Xu Song and others helped to develop the market, Jay Chou's fame and status became even higher.

"A very confident idea!" Wang Xian was surprised at first, then said with a smile:

"I'm looking forward to your subsequent Z.POP songs. I believe that this type of song will definitely have a huge market in the future."

Of course there is a market.

This is a popular trend.

Even though the Chinese music scene has always been complaining about South Korea's K.POP, this kind of music has started to appear in the country later on.

Of course, China is a vast country with a large population, so naturally there are all kinds of music.
