Director Luo nodded and began playing "Coral Sea" from the playlist.
Immediately afterwards, a series of progressively orderly piano notes began to play.
Ren Hetai suddenly became restless, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.
In the prelude, he could actually hear the waves crashing onto the beach, and amidst the sound of the waves, he could also feel the sea breeze rushing towards him!
This arrangement, are you kidding me?!
"I thought the intro to 'Jiangnan' was already superb, but I didn't expect the intro to be just as good!"
"Lin Rui used a variety of instrumental timbres to lay the foundation for this prelude alone!"
Heavy and substantial!
Although one's appreciation for songs may lean more towards the lyrics, one should not doubt this art school principal's ability to appreciate music.
Lyrics are just Ren Hetai's personal preference, but music is his bread and butter!
"A haze begins to fall over the distant sea, how can sorrow be calmed and purified? On my face, there always lingers a faint trace of helplessness..."
Lin Rui's deep voice appeared.
Ren Hetai's eyes lit up: "The strings are mainly long notes, paired with piano and clean guitar, which makes the sadness that the lyrics want to express just right."
Most of the entertainment industry was waiting for Fusheng to deliver a perfect answer. Although he had only heard the beginning, Ren Hetai already had the answer in his mind, given his perspective.
You used lip reading to say you wanted to leave…
"My mind isn't on it..."
The sorrow slowed down silently... the surging tide... you hear me... not waves, but a sea of tears...
Ren Hetai suddenly frowned.
harmony?
That's not the point; the key issue is that the way the harmony is presented is a bit off.
Common sense dictates that harmony emphasizes the coherence of vocals, allowing listeners to experience the feeling of different sounds colliding together. Therefore, under normal circumstances, one should sing close to the correct pitch and not let the harmonies overshadow the vocals.
But clearly, there's something wrong with this song.
"With Lin Rui and Bai Wanqiu's abilities, they shouldn't have made such a mistake, right?"
"The two collaborated on 'Big Fish' on the Spring Festival Gala stage and had great chemistry. But now Bai Wanqiu's voice emphasizes clarity, while Lin Rui's voice emphasizes depth. Isn't that too contradictory?"
Several thoughts flashed through Ren Hetai's mind, but unable to figure them out, he had no choice but to clear his mind and continue listening.
"Turning away...unable to say goodbye..."
"You have something to say but can't say it..."
"The love between a seabird and a fish was just an accident..."
Once again, the guest has stolen the show!
wrong!
This time, Bai Wanqiu's voice even drowned out Lin Rui's!
Ren Hetai frowned.
If this song were performed at a concert, he would even suspect it was a concert mishap!
However, it was released on the platform and was a song that had been post-processed. Coupled with the talent of Lin Rui and Bai Wanqiu, Ren Hetai couldn't help but suspect that this common-sense mistake was likely intentional!
Why? !
Ren Hetai couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he could only continue listening.
"Our love..."
"The love given..."
"Differences have always existed..."
"Can't come back..."
"Dust in the wind..."
"wait…"
"It has accumulated into damage..."
Bai Wanqiu's voice was too clear and bright!
Lin Rui's voice was too deep!
This is absolutely not a normal male-female duet!
Even in the chorus, Bai Wanqiu's clear voice almost took the lead, to the point that it nearly stole Lin Rui's spotlight!
why is that? !
The doubt in Ren Hetai's eyes deepened.
He never expected that just a song would cause him such great doubt!
Could it be that I drank too much tonight?!
Turning away... unable to say goodbye... the azure coral sea... missing it leaves a fleeting emptiness...
Suddenly, Ren Hetai sat up abruptly!
He finally figured it out!
The chorus of this song is completely different from other male-female duets!
It's not the usual back-and-forth singing, nor is it a primary or secondary performance, much less a sweet and affectionate one-on-one act!
During the chorus, Lin Rui and Bai Wanqiu were basically doing their own thing!
They sang different melodies, yet they moved in sync, intertwining with each other!
It's as if two songs are fused together on the same timeline, which is why they sound so dim and unclear, not so clear and pleasant.
"Why did Lin Rui do this?"
Having seen through the pretense beneath the surface, Ren Hetai, on a whim, began to analyze the essence.
"Back then, we..."
"Both you and I..."
"Not mature or honest enough..."
"Shouldn't be..."
Ren Hetai's eyes revealed an expression of appreciation.
He knew that this song was quite difficult to sing.
In songs like this, where there is no clear distinction between primary and secondary elements, male and female voices must be distinct, melodies must be independent, and yet they must all be intertwined and driven forward, the singers must not only have a thorough understanding of the song, but also possess excellent chemistry.
In fact, many industry insiders share the same thoughts as Ren Hetai at this moment.
Of course, some artists even joked that this song would soon become a breakup song for couples.
If some young couples have nothing better to do and want to show off their singing skills at a karaoke bar, they should definitely not choose this song.
Because the chorus of this song is really difficult to sing. Without enough chemistry and good singing skills, if you try to sing it too easily, your sweet love life might end that very night!
"The passion is gone..."
"your…"
"A forced smile...love buried deep in the coral sea..."
Feeling the increasing pressure of his breathing from the ascending scale, Ren Hetai quietly walked to the window and glanced at the night view of the campus. He seemed to have figured out Lin Rui's true thoughts.
At this moment, I felt both amused and exasperated.
He, who has always loved lyrics more than music, almost got himself into a dead end because of the prelude to "Coral Sea," and kept trying to figure out the melody.
So the key to the problem lies in the lyrics.
This seemingly disparate chorus, from beginning to end, was all simply to interpret that one line in the lyrics.
—The love between the seabird and the fish was just an accident.
"This is to show that it's impossible for seabirds and fish to fall in love."
"The lyrics themselves already explain that this is an unsuitable love, which is why Lin Rui and Bai Wanqiu sing this song with two completely opposite voices."
"If the sounds are too harmonious, the meaning will be obscured."
Ren Hetai's face was full of smiles, making no attempt to hide his admiration.
Not everyone can quickly analyze the artistic conception that "Coral Sea" wants to express, just like Ren Hetai. In fact, many people even think that the song is a bit messy.
Of course, not understanding the song is one thing, but it doesn't mean they don't like it. In fact, many couples are sharing it with each other and have agreed that once the song is available in karaoke bars next month, they will definitely sing it in front of their friends and family so that these friends and family can know how deep their relationship is!
While the outside world was still studying this new song compilation, Lin Rui was already busy packing his luggage.
"Son, remember to call Mom when you get to Lizhou."
"Yes, I called home to let them know I arrived safely as soon as I got off the plane."
In the middle of the night, Dong Juan and Lin Changhe escorted Lin Rui to the door, where Chen Bin was carrying Lin Rui's suitcase into the car.
After exchanging pleasantries with his parents for a while, Lin Ruicai left Guanhu Villa by car.
At this moment, Zhao Wenyao's private jet was already parked at the airport, waiting.
"Mr. Lin, these are some plans I've prepared. You can take a look at them if you have time on the way."
Chen Bin pulled out a file folder from the back row and handed it to Lin Rui.
