The first album: Gu Wan Records Company: Beijing Dongsheng Century Culture Release Date: September, 2005 16 Album Type: Mandarin Album 1CD tracks: Nine times out of ten, Kicking the Pavilion, For Anna, Guessing Songs, Love East, Love Martians Only and Playing Truant. It really gives me a headache. He has the potential of an idol and the strength of an all-round creator. Of course, what attracts everyone most is the humming style, which is fashionable and antique. And Jay Chou's tone is quite similar. Hou Xian has a very self-centered musical concept and creative ability. The first album "Guwan" is defined as a full-creation album, which is called full-creation because all the songs of the whole album, from lyrics and songs to later arrangement and production, are arranged by Hou Xian alone. After skilled running-in with senior audio engineers in Taiwan Province Province, it was built with all its strength. "Antique": Antique implies that the whole album style inherits the vein of classical court style music from the bones. From words and music, everyone will strongly feel the taste of blue and white porcelain. "Play": Playing with fashion means using the most popular R& using the previous classical palace melody; B, Hip-Hop, rap, Pop, electronic and other musical techniques "play"! PLAY-play gongdiao r&; B The concept of music freely runs through every note of Gu Wan. When Hou Xian met Jay Chou ... At first glance, Hou Xian's music was really a bit like Jay Chou's style, but after careful study, you will find that there are still many differences between the two. Jay Chou promoted the new trend of pop music, and also made R&; B, the musical style of Hip-Hop and Rap is integrated, which is very important for China pop music. Hou Xian's music is more traditional and classical, with a very authentic China style. In terms of genre, he also combined western music with national music and gradually created his own unique strings. In Hou Xian's own words: "Music is like a species. My music originated from Jay, but this is only the beginning of evolution ... I am following an era, not a person. " Being good at learning from others is also the source of inspiration for Hou Xian's music creation. The first string "Guwan" jumped from head to head, like the arrival of ten naughty children, which took a whole hundred days. In one hundred days, the spirit of PLAY music, which meets the East and the West, has gradually brewed and grown in the carving of time and the cheers of fans. Lyrics, arrangement, production, producer ....., every link is like a secret chef; The recording studio is Hou Xian's kitchen; I hope the last meal will be a delicious meal that will intoxicate my ears. I hope that Hou Xian's daily efforts will be combined into full marks in music. This album named "Ancient Night" has a special meaning and also represents the formation of Hou Xian's musical style. At the same time, it also conveys many new concepts belonging to strings. Hou Xian's own idea asked: Why is it called "Guwan"? Hou Xian said: "I hope my music is like a delicate antique carved by time, because only works of art like antiques can surpass fashion! Become something more tasteful and popular. " Hou Xian will use his accumulated time to precipitate and carve out pop music that everyone likes to collect. Q: "Gong Diao R &;; What kind of idea is "B"? String theory: Gongdiao singing is something in the bones of its own culture, that is, a musical trend in ancient rhythm, which is different from R &;; B There are many similarities between the majors commonly used in music styles. In addition, the drawl and transliteration of the ancient palace tune "Yiya" are different from those of western R&; The transliteration skills in B are also surprisingly identical. So the two can be very smoothly integrated. With the addition of Gongdiao, the tune of Blue and White has a stronger flavor, with local oriental color, without losing its popular charm. Palace Model and R&; The combination of B-type pop elements can make the nation transcend tradition, make fashion return to the nation, and deduce something with its own unique style. Q: How to understand the word "postmodernism"? Hou Xian said: Postmodernism is a feeling, and everyone has his own understanding. For me, it is one of the understandings of postmodern chords to use Gongdiao to be popular, to use classicality to reflect modernity and to use antiquity to describe the present. Q: What are the deductive features of this album? Hou Xian said: according to the classification of songs, the tunes of the whole album are basically singing in Gongdiao style, which is more traditional and with a little R&; B's transliteration technique is the biggest reason why Chinese and western styles can be perfectly integrated in songs. It is also your greatest feature. Q: How is the music structure of this album arranged? Hou Xian said: This album has various themes, such as ancient times, modern times, Renaissance, fantasy and realism. I have made many attempts, and the style is also Gongdiao R &;; Mainly based on B, it combines hip-hop, rap, pop, electronic and other musical techniques, hoping to bring you a rich musical experience. ◎ Interpreting the Legend of Chord Sound: The Combination of China's Classical Literature and Pop Music The Romance of the West Chamber quotes the famous novel The Romance of the West Chamber, and describes a poetic and picturesque youth love in its own way, with Gongdiao tunes and R &;; The seed of love,/kloc-a scholar who met a young lady in the West Chamber 0/2 years ago, and those who came back from the West Chamber after 12 years to dono. 1 are all empty. The emotional lines that embody the modern meaning, and this feeling of using the past as a metaphor for the present, may be Hou Xian's postmodern music style, easily accepted court-style pop melody and intoxicating artistic conception. Let the Romance of the West Chamber become the model of Hou Xian Palace R&; Representative works of B music. " Bridge, originally a plot fragment in the movie, adopts flashback structure. The ancient song Moonlight on the Spring River with the feeling of old records at the beginning has turned into a naughty R&. The walls, classrooms and first love of childhood have gradually emerged, and then the rhythm of R&B pop music sets off romantic childhood scenes one by one: the romantic encounter between grandparents, the old movie played by my father, the nagging of my mother, and a pipa in the middle. "Bridge" evokes a bridge buried in everyone's childhood for many years. The song PS is thought to be sung by Jay Chou in many places. Mix ~ "Xiaobai" Xiaobai was originally a cute little white dog in Crayon Shinchan, and later became everyone's favorite nickname. Cut to the chase, the voice of "Lala" brings out the pure and refined artistic conception of "Xiaobai". Simple major, simple rhythm and simple lyrics in small white tone will make you catchy with comfortable rhythm in less than half a minute. "Xiao Bai" expresses the unique simple state of mind of "Xiao Bai" in pure love with a tone almost like a child. Xiao Bai's image is exactly the same. In the arrangement, with the popular rhythm, rap and colorful guitar, the complicated arrangement is made into a simple feeling, which sounds simple, but it is not. Truancy is the first time in the music industry with truancy as its theme. At the beginning of Tang poetry recitation in a private school, I heard a bookworm beating the rhythm, and then the teacher's harsh reprimand came out. However, the rhythm of knocking sounded again, and a solo of "Sheng" instrument was brought into the naughty hip-hop rhythm style, and the rap was free and smooth. The classics are mixed with rebellion, which shows the true thoughts of new human beings. In a truant tone, he made a naughty "revision" of Tang poetry and Song poetry in his book. The word "truant" in the lyrics is actually an extremely bookish person who refuses to be bound by the feudal teaching system but pursues his own music. In ancient times, extremely bookish refers to people who specifically endorsed others and read books for others. The word "extremely bookish" breaks the embarrassing burden of "reading for others" under today's exam-oriented education system. It is a brave song to criticize the defects of modern education with an ancient background. In addition, the whole song has a strong Gongdiao color in singing and arrangement. Suddenly, a tap dance music with Scottish violin and applause added a special feeling of children's interest to the music. Popular words such as "only love Martians" and "Martians" spread from the Internet, and also became the classic narration in Stephen Chow's shaolin soccer, referring to a guy who knows nothing. In Love Only Martians, lovelorn young people prefer to find simple Martians rather than face the complicated love entanglements of the earth. It is a "new love song" full of youthful frivolous romantic fantasies. The combination of light rock melodies full of Scottish style and electronic style, coupled with unpretentious singing, shows the helplessness of young people after falling in love. In arrangement, the smooth concerto of violin and Jinghu brought fresh and refined special effects. Soft-paced rap highlights the psychological state of teenagers' troubles and is easy to arouse everyone's voices. The combination of classical tradition and alien science fiction is unforgettable. As it happens, the abbreviation of Tokyo love story is also called "East Love". If you listen carefully, you will know that this East Love is not another East Love. "Oriental Love" describes an "oriental love story", which describes a romantic and beautiful episode in which an ancient couple secretly flirted with poetry riddles and were finally bound by feudal ethics, and the young lady married someone else, and the two were heartbroken and separated. The palace at first was full of high and low notes. Is Goldbach's famous mathematical conjecture related to popular songs? In this song, the two are endowed with a wonderful connection. The feelings of two people plus one person are complicated and confused, even if the master guesses for a lifetime, there is no result. Goldbach conjecture made a classical R&; B's bold attempt. This song begins with a piece of18th century western classical piano music, followed by a strong R&; B rhythm, even joined the swing style at the climax, and made a new attempt. Piano and guitar concertos jumped out at the door and the end, accompanied by the singing of China traditional opera, which filled the whole song with the spark of bold collision between East and West. "To Anna" is a melodious Russian organ, which reminds people of "Night on the outskirts of Moscow", and then a beautiful exotic love affair is woven by China flute. In the lyrics, two people live far apart and can only express their thoughts through letters. Beijing on one side and Moscow on the other. Different cultural backgrounds have the same yearning. The whole piece is wearing an organ and playing a flute, which constitutes an ancient or foreign love song and is the biggest highlight of To Anna. Kicking the Pavilion, from the mysterious opening to the outbreak of the jumping hip-hop rhythm, is accompanied by the drum singing of Beijing Opera, which conveys the decisive spirit and national integrity of newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers with dramatic plots. It belongs to the songs with brilliant auditory effects in the album, the climax part of the Hua Dan cavity harmony of the national quintessence Beijing Opera, and the combination of true and false sounds, and draws the sword at the beginning. The imaginative lyrics convey the momentum of "awesome afterlife". More importantly, 2005 is the 60th anniversary of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory. It goes without saying whose pavilion Hou Xian is kicking. Nine times out of ten, the sixth sense intuition of lovers is accurate and strong when they are in love and when they break up. This is a love song about the gray mentality of parting, from the scene description of parting to the comparison of meeting and parting at the beginning of climax, with some lazy singing methods, R &;; B-style melody vividly shows the memories of lovelorn love and the pain between two people. From the beginning to the climax, "happy sadness" is the biggest highlight. In addition, special mention should be made of "Antique" produced by KingStar Orchestra, which can be said to be a perfect summary of Hou Xian's "Guwan" album. The title songs of the second album "nine princess: nine princess", "Kunming Lake" and "Cyclists" are not limited to "R&; b”! Create more "R &;; c”! Take three steps and cross the "R & ampc" chord!

"Kicking the Pavilion" MV (animated version) In 2005, an album "Gu Wan" set off a strong pop Chinese style in the music world with an excellent sales volume of 200,000, and more innovative produced a new pop style "Gongdiao R&B". A year later, Hou Xian brought his new album Princess 9 again, and even brought a brand-new genre, R&C. It took a year from the original intention of giving original songs to fans, to the struggle to present a complete album to fans, and finally to retain the results of three selected songs. I gave up a lot of things, but what I finally brought to you was absolutely unique boutique production. The three tracks have been moved to three recording studios, and after repeated revisions, what is presented to you now is definitely a "work of conscience". The new concept of "optical record", Princess 9, is a dual-disc form of acoustics and optics, CD+MV, and songs are presented by MV. Every song has a picture and a story, and hearing and vision become a whole, so that everyone can understand the song more widely and thoroughly from the optical point of view. Behind every story, there is a little scattered feeling, unknown so, everyone can follow their own path. The distracted trilogy breaks the traditional album track format and only keeps the main track. It is easy to get distracted when we are students, because we are going through an imaginary time when we are the youngest. Therefore, it is named the trilogy of wandering souls, hoping to let everyone enter the mezzanine space of life and fantasy in their young age. The moral tones of the three songs are red, blue and green, which respectively represent the wildness of nine princess, the deep affection of Kunming Lake, and the simplicity and three fantasy levels of cycling enthusiasts. Innovative music genre r&; C, try COSPLAY game modeling. There are many such young elements in this record. Every song is a change, fresh enough. Like the title song nine princess, Round Dance Hip-hop is like a new dish introduced by Hou Xian: Fire Ice Cream. Waltz feels like ice cream, while hip-hop is an open flame. Snacks can do this, and music may even spark. One represents the 3/4 beat of Leng Yan and fantasy, and the other represents the 4/4 beat of hip-hop with hot personality, because of the fantasy and dream of nine princess and British courts. Even tried COSPLAY role-playing for the first time in MV. It took a year from the original intention of giving original songs to fans, to the struggle to present a complete album to fans, and finally to retain the results of three selected songs. I gave up a lot of things, but what I finally brought to you was absolutely unique boutique production. The three tracks have been moved to three recording studios, and after repeated revisions, what is presented to you now is definitely a "work of conscience". The hit song "nine princess"-Theme: Daydream about the style of Hou Xian's first dance music, please take over the school days, full of endless fantasies, and longing is a necessary experience for everyone to grow up. That kind of pure fantasy, youth and romance, although only brewed in the heart and mind, is also a rare experience. " Nine princess "may be a figure appearing out of thin air, an attachment, a feeling of longing, not necessarily love, but friendship, a spiritual sustenance that can't be obtained in reality, but it must be healthy. The first radio title song "Kunming Lake"-theme: emotional illusion and reality, excavating the popular theme of the soul, blending a lot of fantasy elements on the basis of the intersection of reality and classicism. Fantasy is a portrayal of the protagonist's mentality in reality, and the two parts echo each other from beginning to end. In the description style of the text, it connects fantasy and reality with modern ancient vernacular techniques. This song was written by Hou Xian after visiting the winter scenery of Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace. It is also mixed with the impression of the string in Kunming, the spring city for many years. As a "creative" musician, Hou Xian tried to break through the limits of his own music creation. For the first time, he tried to combine the western combination represented by mandolin, nylon guitar, piano and viola with the oriental combination represented by flute, guzheng and dulcimer, with a style orchestration of up to 30 tracks. Create a unique string auditory feast. Strong relay focuses on "Cyclists"-theme: Love melody is light and smart, relay focuses on the most realistic song in the three tracks, tells the story of bicycles that everyone had when they were students, and pays attention to the details of life. I came into contact with everyone's first love when I was a student. In terms of sound effects, the sound of bicycle turning, inflation and even puncture was collected. Let everyone hear the melody and be there. Close your eyes, just like on the campus path. "Catch up with the downhill slope" is accompanied by lyrics, as if returning to that innocent era and feeling those happy feelings. The album took half a year, and he wrote, composed, arranged, post-produced and sang it all by himself. Hou Xian, who constantly innovates and challenges himself, gives this song a brand-new concept: the combination of romance and reality, fantasy and reality. Hou Xian insisted: "I hope to interpret the characteristics of the East in a popular way, so that young people can feel their own culture from the popularity ..." The third album "Dong Fangbubai" has disappeared for so long because it has been prepared for so long, and the longer it is silent, the happier it will be. At the end of the year, it's time to release the legendary third album "Dong Fangbubai", which contains ten songs. Fast, slow, relaxed and dignified all have the words "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world", but I imagine that the meaning of "the best in the world" will be much broader. It can be summarized in one sentence: the most important feature of young Dong Fangbubai in the East is that it has tried "chivalrous demeanor" in its modeling and style. Of course, this will not be divorced from R &;; The category of C is only more vivid on this basis. From writing the first song in Xiamen last year to the end of the last song, the interval was as long as ten months. During the trip, I thought about my new album intermittently and showed it. After the change, it will be considered a real pregnancy in October. Therefore, the songs inside will continue to cross all kinds of essence about the East. There used to be orientals: calligraphy, mountains and rivers, martial arts, historical heroes, poems and songs, and now there are orientals: lively duets in the city, rap in Chinatown far away from Paris, lyrical slow songs, and the rhythm of first love on campus. In short, it will be very oriental and chivalrous. From the perspective of melody, everyone said that "Antique" and "nine princess" are actually very difficult to learn and sing, because there are too many elements in Gongdiao, but in this song, I will consider something for you. It should be said that half of the songs are easy to sing, which is also the basic requirement for yourself. Since June, the "crane shed" has been built. From then on, I will integrate all my future albums into the household registration arrangement, production, recording and even album albums of HOHO Manufacturing, including the MV script, all of which will be borne by me alone. Quite a few friends will keep asking me why I always have to do it alone, and I can't answer. I feel that I should have done this. Perhaps the only reasonable explanation is that "the child can't be conceived by others." "For HOHO, music itself is a job, but it is also a work of art, and works of art are OEM for others. But if there is a "model worker" award in the entertainment circle, there should be many accomplished senior experts, and they can all be elected. But if you want to choose a model worker among artists who are still in the stage of "starting a business", "Hou Xian" will definitely be elected. " In today's music world, creative singers abound. But such a thorough artist as Hou Xian is really rare. In three years and 23 songs, Hou Xian did all the work in the album production process, including lyrics, arrangement, mixing, master recording, and even album photo shooting, album design and copywriting. It is conceivable that such a workload can be completed in just three years. The word "Quanchuang" was first put forward by Hou Xian. Its meaning is not only Quanchuang, but also the self-orientation of an entrepreneurial singer, or a persistent insistence on innovation. In the initial stage of "starting a business", it is a virtue to take "doing things by hand" as the basic way of doing things, and it is also a insistence on "ensuring one's creative style to the greatest extent". It won't be perfect, but at least you can feel at ease. This is a kind of confidence and kindness. 2005 "Ancient? 6? After the release of 1 Play, there was a wave of "String RnC Wind" in the music world immediately. This year's "Dong Fangbubai" still continues the "String RnC Style", and also "innovatively" chooses group composition in the arrangement of some songs. Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty and Haikou merged Taiwan Province young talents and veteran music producer Lin respectively. Teamwork will definitely bring you a new feeling. Overview of Dong Fangbubai's Songs 1 The first wave of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. As the name implies, the song makes the listener instantly feel like he is in a historical picture scroll, carrying a book and constantly opening up the nostalgic complex left by people in his mind. Genre, it is the essence of string RnC genre, which has both the ancient artistic conception of the famous songs "The West Chamber" and "Kunming Lake" and the popular tension of "singing after listening twice". Last year, when I traveled to the ancient town of xitang, Zhejiang, and enjoyed the drama Across the River at night, I was inspired by the melody and wrote this song "Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties" on the spot. This song is the first major. Summary of the story: Scholar and Lengchuang study hard, often writing poems and playing the piano with girls who are practicing the piano, and they love each other, but the scholar wants to join the army and change his ambition. When he left, he copied a blank Preface to Lanting Collection on the stage. (Because all the tears are dripping on the inkstone) The girl bid farewell to the Twenty-four Bridges, and the scholar gave her a Tibetan poem, which never came back. In modern times, a young scholar imagines the farewell scene in an ancient Tibetan poem and expresses his nostalgia ... Haikou lovers often boast about their lovers when they speak their hearts, such as "I will love you all my life and be together forever", but these promises have become a heavy burden in the future. The day when the promise was broken was as helpless and desolate as the destruction of the world, and we were struggling. Haikou is another well-known slow song written by Hou Xian after Nine out of Ten. The chorus of "I boast about Haikou to you" tragically conveys the love story that everyone will encounter once or in the future. This song is the third wave of the main song. Among them, Hou Xian made his own chords with children's voices, which became the highlight of the whole song. Crossing the Bridge is Hou Xian's first narrative rap song and the second major song. The style of this song is his new attempt at narrative rap songs. Crossing the bridge has two meanings: 1. Crossing the bridge rice noodles. 2. The whole story of the wooden bridge that passed the college entrance examination is interspersed with confessions from two angles: a modern senior three student and an ancient scholar who rushed to take the exam. With the keyword "crossing the bridge", two different eras are integrated. Interpret a complete story: Senior three students work hard to prepare for the exam at night, and they can't help but think of Yang Xiucai in Crossing the Wooden Bridge. Tired and sleepy, they entered the old story: Yang Xiucai studied hard in the lake pavilion in the South Lake of Mengzi, his lover put down a bowl of hot rice noodles to cross the bridge every day, and the scholar go to dali rushed to take the exam, hoping that one day he could take care of his little son and finally found his fame and marriage. However, he was disappointed and resigned because of the pedantry of officialdom. When he was disheartened, his wife brought a bowl of rice noodles across the bridge to warm his heart. He decided to go back to the bridge in Nanhu with his wife and open a small shop. He used rice noodles to convey warm and simple ideals to passers-by. In fact, it also hides greatness. Senior three students wake up from their dreams and can't stand the noise of secular views hanging over their brains, playing mahjong, quarreling and dancing with their neighbors. They decided to pack their backpacks and find the bridge they really wanted to cross and their lovers by the bridge. Zheng Chenggong is a biographical pop song full of historical heroic elements. Strong inspirational feelings flowed smoothly in it, and the tragic beauty and excitement of the chorus part "Mother's hand thread has been sewn repeatedly for hundreds of years" moved everyone. Synopsis: College students who graduated from Xiamen University were assigned to Zheng Chenggong Memorial Hall to manage books. Before, they were complacent and turned into a small historical data administrator. They used to want to write history, but now they are guarding it. The psychological gap once disheartened him. One night, Zheng Chenggong woke up from his dream and told him that the paper and pen of history were waiting for everyone to write it themselves ... 5 The roster was relaxed and playful, and the students in campus time were named. The flower names used are basically from university classes in Hou Xian. Hou Xian pinned his nostalgia for school time on this pleasant campus style rhythm and melody. Pen and ink service begins with the formula of ancient brush calligraphy, and conjures up a hip-hop calligraphy epic. With a unique China tune, the song brings together the hard stories of famous artists such as Wang Xizhi, Ouyang Xiu, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan. Nowadays, in order to pursue high efficiency, keyboard input communication makes fewer and fewer people pick up brushes. I can see that this song is an appeal to everyone to practice calligraphy with a brush, instead of being equal typists, because brush calligraphy is the unique essence of China people. Hou Xian was inspired by a slow dance music he often heard when he was a child. The whole article describes a sad campus romance with the retro rhythm and arrangement of Slow Four: when college students are blind in dancing, boys and girls in different classes like each other, but they dare not invite each other to dance, just imagining each other as partners in their minds. They had a secret love, but they all thought it was unrequited love. As time went by, on graduation day, two people dragged their luggage and saw each other for the last time at the school gate. At this point, the reserved partner can only imagine for the last time in his mind with tears, holding each other's hands and dancing the last four slow love songs ... The whole song is gentle and smooth, which is bound to set off a slow and retro trend again. Shaolin Temple showed the legendary Shaolin Temple to the world with a strong sense of rhythm. This song was written by Hou Xian after visiting Shaolin Temple. A marrow washing scripture was specially added to the song to express the mystery of Shaolin Temple spirit. 9 Smelling Chicken Dancing quoted well-known allusions in idiom stories and wrote an inspirational oriental fast song, which every oriental should listen to when he was a teenager. 10 The origin of my sister's piano creation: HOHO saw someone transfer a piano played by her sister in a forum, so she felt something, wrote this song in the name of her sister's piano, and arranged it with children's chorus to express her childhood memories of maternal love. The melody is euphemistic and emotional, and everyone listens. Thank you for your love ...
