Chapter 125 The album concept is utter bullshit (Please subscribe)

Half an hour had passed, and Zhang Xiaoqi was still talking non-stop, except for drinking tea to soothe his throat.

The host was initially quite engrossed in the conversation, as he not only talked about the behind-the-scenes stories of the album but also his rather amusing boasts about Li Ye.

But Li Ye is the main guest, you can't say everything!

The interview was allotted only an hour, and halfway through, Li Ye, the main guest, gave a brief greeting.

The host couldn't contain himself and kept glancing at Li Ye.

Brother, don't you feel like you've been overshadowed?

As Li Ye, who was sitting on the long sofa in the middle, picked up his teacup, he inadvertently met the gaze of the host on the single sofa to his left and nodded with a smile.

However, he didn't understand the meaning in the host's eyes and politely poured the other person another cup of hot tea.

He then took a sip of hot tea and continued looking at Zhang Xiaoqi, who was speaking.

Interviews are so easy!

Ding Yan also specifically instructed him to be humble and only answer questions about the album. If he really couldn't help but ask other questions, he should think them through before speaking.

He was a little nervous before the interview even started.

Listening to Zhang Xiaoji's boasting, Li Ye initially felt a little embarrassed, but then he thought about it carefully: "He wasn't bragging; everything he said was true."

And so the more I listened, the more I enjoyed it.

"All ten songs in 'Wilderness' are hits, and what's most remarkable is that they maintain a high degree of consistency in musical style and concept."

"To be honest, if I hadn't been the producer of 'Wilderness' and had personally witnessed Li Ye placing the lyrics and music of each song in front of me, and having the understanding of an original creator for each song, I really wouldn't have believed that a new singer could write them."

"And the most amazing thing is that the entire album was created from scratch in less than three months."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoqi realized he had been talking too much and his throat felt dry and itchy. He could only stop, feeling a little unsatisfied, and take a sip of tea.

The host, who had been waiting for an opportunity, immediately seized the chance: "Ah Ye, where do you get your inspiration for songwriting? Could you share some of your creative insights with us?"

"Films, books, and the people and things around me."

This was the answer Li Ye had prepared long ago. After thinking for a moment, he added, "My music teacher, Liu Yufen, once told me: 'Creators must always maintain their sensitivity to the world.'"

"I see."

The host feigned sudden realization, never expecting to get practical answers from a genius.

After snatching Li Ye's mouth back, she hurriedly asked the next question.

Zhang Xiaoqi simply smiled and made no further comment; his endorsement of Li Ye was sufficient.

He will continue to say these things repeatedly on various platforms and in various occasions.

Let the public understand just how amazing the music of "Wilderness" is.

Simply put, it's about creating momentum.

Unfortunately, the Chinese Golden Wheat Awards have become increasingly chaotic in recent years.

Last time, Chung Manyue's album was clearly overwhelming, with almost no strong competitors, and she almost missed out on the grand prize.

Zhang Xiaoqi wanted to make sure "Wilderness" was flawless, both for Li Ye's sake and to avoid getting angry to death himself.

Towards the end of the interview, the host, with a smile, brought up an off-stage topic: "I wonder if you've watched 'Singer'?"

Director Jiang Tao's Weibo post, along with netizens, is all urging you to "give in" to him.

"Well.

"6

After thinking for a moment, Li Ye nodded truthfully and explained, "I am very grateful for Director Jiang's appreciation. I have also expressed my gratitude to Director Jiang in private."

A man nearing fifty years old asked him to submit to him on social media, though it was just a joke, he genuinely didn't want to respond publicly.

If his aunt hadn't repeatedly persuaded him, he would have pretended not to have seen it.

It was rare to see a hint of embarrassment on Li Ye's usually relaxed and composed face. The host smiled but didn't press the matter, instead asking curiously, "Have you ever considered participating in 'Singer' in the future?"

Li Ye revealed a sincere expression: "My ability is not enough to participate in such a high-level stage. My teacher Liu Yufen also told me the same thing."

host:

'

""

If you're not capable, then who is?

Li Ye's live singing ability is widely recognized as good, especially his stage presence, which is loved by the public.

However, compared to his talent, there are indeed fewer people discussing his singing skills.

The host clearly wanted to say something more, but Li Ye's sincerity was overflowing, so she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

This concludes the interview.

Watching the Penguin Music team leave, Li Ye looked at Zhang Xiaoqi: "Teacher Zhang, what are you planning to do next?"

"I'll give you a public relations award..." Zhang Xiaoqi didn't say it aloud.

The Golden Wheat Award is still several months away, so there's no need to bring it up now and make Li Ye worry about it.

Zhang Xiaoqi laughed and said, "I've promised some odd jobs to others, but you seem to be having a relaxed time. I heard you're going on a trip abroad soon?"

"Relax? What do you mean 'relaxed'? This is work."

Li Ye spoke earnestly, then abruptly jumped to another topic, saying with some distress, "I have no idea what to do about my next album."

"What?" Zhang Xiaoqi asked, picking at his ear with a look of surprise.

Is this what he could hear from Li Ye?

"I don't know what songs to write for my next album," Li Ye repeated earnestly, hoping to get guidance from a renowned teacher.

Zhang Xiaoqi was still incredulous, but he also became serious: "Are you referring to the album concept, or the musical style?"

Li Ye thought for a moment: "Yes, we have both."

He was completely clueless and had no clear idea whatsoever.

For now, everything he wants to sing and say is in "The Wilderness".

"Don't rush. Write it down whenever you have an idea. You don't have any performance pressure."

Zhang Xiaoqi never imagined that one day he would advise Li Ye not to rush into writing songs.

Li Ye wasn't in a hurry.

Realizing that the popularity of his work could raise the upper limit of the Dream Space, he wanted to collect the songs in advance.

"How about you give me a question?" He needed someone to help him determine a good direction.

"You think this is writing an essay?"

Zhang Xiaoqi couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then became a little worried.

He felt that he had set the bar too high, causing Li Ye to put too much pressure on himself.

After all, Wilderness is really amazing.

An album filled with popular hits and with a highly unified theme is virtually unparalleled in the entire Chinese music scene.

Writing another album like this is something I might never be able to do even if I spent my entire life on it.

Zhang Xiaoqi suddenly said, "There's something I've been meaning to tell you: the album concept is utter nonsense."
