Album introduction:
How to introduce such a brand-new voice? 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.
"Ancient": ancient style.
It implies that the style of the whole album inherits the vein of classical court music from the bones, which will make everyone feel a strong taste of blue and white ceramics from words and music.
[Play]: Play with fashion
Is to use the most popular R &；; 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 is 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 of "Ancient Bay"
The ancient drama jumped from beginning to end, like the arrival of ten naughty children, and it 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 ideas.
Q: Why was it named "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, modernity, 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.
The second album "nine princess"
Title song: "nine princess"

Bike lovers
More than "r &；; b”！ Create more "R &；; c”！
Take three steps and cross the "R & ampc" chord!
"CD" records, "CD+VCD" attract attention! Shock the eardrum!
The Absence Trilogy is the main theme of 3!
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 it was even more innovative to produce a new pop style "Gongdiao R&: B. A year later, Hou Xian brought her new album Princess 9 again, and even brought a brand-new genre "R&; c .
The third album "Dong Fangbubai"
Disappeared for so long, because it has been prepared for so long.
The longer you are silent, the happier you will be. It's the end of the year. It's time to make a move.
The legendary third album "Dong Fangbubai" will be released soon.
Contains ten songs, fast and slow, relaxed and dignified.
The word "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" is widely circulated.
But in my imagination, the meaning of "the best in the world" will be much broader.
To sum up in a word: whatever is oriental and young is the best in the world.
The biggest feature of Dong Fangbubai is that it tries "chivalrous style" in style and modeling.
Of course, this will not be divorced from R &；; Class C is only more specific at this point.
From the first song written in Xiamen last year to the end of the last song, the interval is as long as ten months.
After ten months of back-and-forth publicity, I was thinking about my new disc intermittently during my trip.
Screening, screening, changing.
October is also a real pregnancy.
Therefore, the songs inside will continue to cross all kinds of essence about the East.
Once there was the East:
Calligraphy, landscape, martial arts, historical heroes, poems and songs.
Now it's the East:
The lively duet in the city, the rap in Chinatown in Paris, the lyrical slow song, the rhythm of first love on campus,
In short, it will be very oriental and chivalrous.
Judging from the melody, everyone says that "Antique" and "nine princess" are difficult to learn and sing.
In fact, it is the reason why there are too many ingredients in Gongdiao.
In this book, I will consider something for you in this respect. It should be said that half of the songs are good to sing, which is also the basic requirement for yourself.
Since the crane shed was completed in June,
From now on, I will integrate all my future albums into the household registration of "Made in HOHO".
Arranging, producing, recording, and even performing the album as planned, including the MV script, were all done by myself this time. Quite a few friends will always ask me why I always have to do it alone.
I can't answer at once, and I feel that I should have done it.
Perhaps the only reasonable explanation is that "the child can't be conceived by others."
For HOHO, music itself is a job, but also a work of art, which is made for others.
But it's not cool.
An Overview of Dong Fangbubai's Songs
1 Tang Songyuan Ming and Qing Dynasties
The first wave is characterized by "Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties", which, as the name implies, makes the listener feel instantly in a historical picture, and constantly opens up the nostalgic complex left by people in his mind.
Genre, it is the essence of Sixian RnC genre, which not only has the ancient rhyme artistic conception of the famous songs "The West Chamber" and "Kunming Lake", but also has the popular tension of "singing after listening twice".
Last year, I visited the ancient town of xitang, Zhejiang Province, and when I was enjoying a drama on the other side of the river at night, I was inspired by the melody and wrote this song "Tang Songyuan Ming and Qing Dynasties" on the spot. This song is the first major.
Summary of the story:
Scholars study hard at a cold window and often write poems and play the piano with girls who practice the piano. They love each other, but they want to join the army and change their ambitions. When they left, they copied a blank volume of Preface to Lanting on the stage (because tears were dripping in the inkstone).
The girl bid farewell to the 24 th Bridge, and the scholar gave her a Tibetan poem, and she never went there again. In modern times, a young scholar imagined the farewell scene in a long-standing Tibetan poem and expressed his nostalgia. ...
2 Haikou
When lovers speak their minds, they often boast to their lovers, such as "I will love you all my life and be together forever", but these promises have become a heavy burden in the future. When the promise is broken,
As helpless and desolate as the destruction of the world, in fact, when we are desperately boasting about the sea, not many people will carefully consider the future.
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.
3 crossing the bridge
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 wooden bridge that passed the college entrance examination.
The whole article interweaves the confessions of a modern senior three student and an ancient scholar who took the exam.
Taking "crossing the bridge" as the key word, two different eras merged with each other to deduce a complete story:
Senior three students are working hard to prepare for the exam in the evening. Students can't help thinking of Yang Xiucai from crossing the wooden bridge. Exhausted and sleepy, they entered the old story: Yang Xiucai studied hard at the lake pavilion in Mengzi South Lake, and his lover was by the bridge every day.
Putting down a bowl of hot insulated rice noodles and crossing the bridge, the scholar go to dali took the exam, hoping to take care of a family and be an official one day. In the end, he lived up to expectations and finally regained his fame. He married his lover and entered the officialdom, but 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.
Warm in 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 plain ideals to passers-by, but it also contained greatness. Senior three students wake up from their dreams and can't stand the noise of secular views hanging over their brains and neighbors fighting and dancing while playing mahjong.
I decided to pack my backpack and find the bridge I really wanted and my lover by the bridge.
4 Zheng Chenggong
Biographical pop songs full of historical hero elements. Strong inspirational feelings flow smoothly in it, and the tragic beauty and excitement of the chorus "Mother's hand thread, sewed for hundreds of years" make everyone move.
Summary of the story:
College students who graduated from Xiamen University were assigned to Zheng Chenggong Memorial Hall to engage in library management. The former complacency has become a small historical data administrator. He used to want to write history, but now he is guarding it. The psychological gap has 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 by themselves. ...
5 roster
The relaxed and playful style of campus rock music burned the names of classmates in campus time, and COSPALY's portrayal of role-playing made everyone's characteristics very distinctive and interesting.
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.
6 pen and ink services
Starting with the formula of ancient brush calligraphy, it conjures up a hip-hop calligraphy epic, which combines the hard stories of famous artists such as Wang Xizhi, Ouyang Xiu, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan and unique China tunes.
Nowadays, in order to pursue high efficiency and keyboard input communication, fewer and fewer people pick up writing brushes. I can see that this song is an appeal to everyone to often pick up the brush in their hands and practice calligraphy, instead of becoming a close typist.
Because brush calligraphy is the unique essence of China people.
7 slow four love songs
Inspired by a slow four dance music that Hou Xian often heard when he was a child, the whole article depicts a sad campus love affair 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 in their hearts, but they are afraid that inviting each other to dance will be rejected, just pretending to be partners in their hearts.
They have a secret crush on each other, but they all think it is unrequited love.
As time went by, on graduation day, the two dragged their luggage and saw each other for the last time at the school gate. At this time, the reserved partner can only imagine it in his mind for the last time with tears in his eyes.
Hold each other's hands and dance the last love song …
The whole song is gentle and smooth, which is bound to revive a slow retro trend.
8 Shaolin Temple
With a strong and heavy rhythm, the legendary Shaolin Temple is presented to the world. This song was written by Hou Xian after his visit to Shaolin Temple, and a marrow washing scripture was specially added to it.
Explain the mystery of Shaolin Temple spirit with admiration.
Smell the chicken dancing.
Quoting well-known allusions in idiom stories, I wrote an inspirational oriental fast song, which every oriental should listen to when he was a teenager.
10 Sister's Piano
Origin of creation: In a forum, HOHO saw someone transfer a piano played by his sister, so he got a feeling and wrote this song under the name of her sister's piano.
With the arrangement of children's chorus, this song expresses the nostalgia of childhood for maternal love. The melody is euphemistic and emotional, and everyone will have a different understanding after listening to it. ...
