Chapter 591 Recording

He joked around with the main actors, and then the rest of the crew asked him about the album. It seems everyone was quite upset about his new album.

In particular, when I heard Engineer Hu say that he needed to squeeze in time for Chen Yu to record his new album, he organized the filming schedule, time, and scene arrangements.

Everyone was very cooperative. They had been with Chen Yu all along and knew how tight his schedule was. They admired him for finding time to work on an album under such circumstances and were also very excited. However, they also had many concerns.

The question is whether an album produced in such a short time will be of poor quality.

During a break from filming that day, Chen Chi posted on social media: "The first thing the props team did today was to discuss with the other directors on set how to squeeze out four hours to record a new album. I'm so looking forward to it!"

When Li Jinming saw Chen Chichi's Weibo post, she immediately tagged him and said, "You're posting this so blatantly, aren't you afraid Chen Yu will make things difficult for you?"

Not to be outdone, Hu Yifei tagged the two, "Come on, this guy's foul mouth is notorious. If the Crown Prince finds out, he probably won't be able to keep this news a secret."

More and more people are joining in.

Meanwhile, fans also discussed and complained.

"Chichi's mouth is indeed incredibly vulgar. Didn't Sister Yifei say that this guy doesn't practice swordsmanship but instead engages in vulgarity?"

"666, my prince has finally started recording an album. Now that he has started recording, I believe it won't be long before he can meet us."

"Sure, judging by the Crown Prince's pace, the album release will definitely take no more than a month. Looking forward to the Crown Prince's new album. I wonder how much it will cost!"

That evening, Chen Yu returned home and the first song he recorded was the folk song "Nanshan Nan". The song looks simple, but it was actually quite complicated to record. There were many small details to handle, and the emotional expression was particularly difficult.

Chen Yu remembered that Ma Di, the original singer of "Nanshan Nan," once said something that sounded very pretentious: "I wrote a song called 'Nanshan Nan,' and people often say it's too sad after listening to it, then ask if there's a story behind it. I say, when you hear this song, it's no longer related to me; the tears you shed are the story only you know." Chen Yu planned to post this quote on Weibo without knowing the exact words, and he wasn't concerned about what interpretations netizens might have.

Anyway, he's only responsible for creating topics; everything else is none of his business.

After the first recording was finished, Chen Yu listened to it once, except for the sound engineer, and there were no technical problems.

"Xiaoyou, what do you think?!"

Chen Yu felt something was missing and wanted to hear Xiao You's opinion.

"Technically, it's almost perfect, with virtually no improvement. Emotionally, it's somewhat lacking. The song conveys the emotions and the author's thoughts, so you should know what the song is trying to achieve. Did this song resonate with you?!"

Chen Yu was taken aback by Xiao You's words; he knew what she meant.

"If you can't even move yourself, what do you have to do to move others!"

Chen Yu carefully reviewed and understood all the information about the song "Nanshan Nan".

He knew this song wasn't about technical skill; what he wanted was emotional expression. He also had high standards for his voice.

Chen Yu gradually modified his voice, trying to accept the emotion little by little.

More than half an hour later, Chen Yu walked into the recording studio again.

"You are in the bright southern sun,"

Heavy snow

I am in the cold night of the North,

Spring-like weather all year round

After one take, Chen Yu paused and pressed play again.

He was still not satisfied; he felt he hadn't captured the essence of the song as he understood it.

I went back into the recording studio and sang again.

Come out again, listen again, shake your head again, and go back in.

The cycle repeats itself again and again.

More than two hours later, Chen Yu finally put down his headphones with satisfaction.

"How did Xiaoyou do this time?!" Chen Yu hadn't asked before, but now that he had some confidence, he decided to see what Xiaoyou had to say.

"You already know the result yourself, why are you still asking me?!" Xiao You rolled her eyes at Chen Yu and said irritably.

Chen Yu understood that Xiao You had given her her approval.

Since Xiaoyou has already agreed, this song is settled. As for "Just Once," Chen Yu doesn't plan to ask Xiaoyou's opinion, because the significance of this song isn't that it's particularly catchy, but rather that it has a very special meaning.

Chen Yu chose "Starboy" as his third song!

This song is from Canada, but it's a very powerful one.

It even topped the Billboard charts, and in the United States, a song that tops the Billboard charts is considered a contender for the Golden Melody Award.

The song was inspired by The Weeknd's luxurious lifestyle as a celebrity, and discusses how such a lifestyle can make an artist vulnerable. The Weeknd believed he loved his ex-girlfriend, but she didn't love him, and they eventually broke up. No matter what The Weeknd did to win her back, it was all in vain.

They've already released songs like "Boby," "See You Again," "If You," and "Stitches," and it wouldn't be right to not have English songs, since overseas fans are fans too.

We absolutely must take it.

The song "Starboy" is very good.

Entering the recording studio, we began recording "Starboy." The recording of this song was not as difficult as that of "Nanshan Nan," and it was completed in just three takes.

For his fourth song, Chen Yu chose Justin Bieber's "Sorry"!

In addition to topping the Billboard charts in the United States, this song also topped the music charts in 13 countries, including Ireland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Canada, South Africa, Slovakia, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

It's fair to say this song achieved phenomenal success.

Of course, compared to "Baby", it may lag a little behind, but definitely not by much.

Chen Yu's song has a light and comfortable musical style, like being on a tropical vacation. It is stable yet uplifting, with a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, and occasionally incorporates some dreamy electronic music.

The lyrics, filled with apology, deeply express the protagonist's regret at being unable to keep their beloved. The singer conveys this sentiment through a sorrowful and helpless vocal performance. Musically, "Sorry" is in E-flat major, with a tempo of 100 beats per minute, requiring the singer's vocal range to be between Eb4 and Bb5.
