"In Spring" is an original pop song directed (MV) and sung by Huang Qiwen, a musical actor from the China Opera and Dance Theater and a mainland female singer. Written and composed by Singaporean musicians Kenn Wu and Iris Judotter. The composition of this song comes from the 1937 film "Cross Street" directed by Shen Xiling. It is a combination of sanxian and R&B music styles, integrating Peking opera, rap and other musical elements. The retro electronic piano fender rhodes from the 1970s is used as the base. The harmonious atmosphere combines Chinese and Western. The rhythmic sound pattern conforms to the pulse of modern cities. The meaning of the song is popular and concise, extending from the "private perspective" to the "attitude of all living beings", and is full of the "view of nature" and "mind nature and qi" of Chinese philosophy. Huang Qiwen's singing is full of delicate emotions and sexy temperature, and reflects the confusion and confusion of the times. The helpless and hard-working urban youth community conveys a positive artistic conception of positive energy.
"In the Spring" is related to the old movie "Cross Streets". The song is based on retro classic "bridges" and is presented with international trendy electronic music beats. Huang Qiwen's singing voice expresses charming, sexy, sweet and comfortable , "resurrected" the classic Chinese style, and relaxed the elegant "oriental style".
The MV for "In Spring" is directed and performed by Huang Qiwen. It conveys the artistic conception according to the song, with a modern and fashionable Beijing girl walking through the "Renaissance Alley" and "walking and singing" in the spring. Listen to The three-stringed string sounded, and I stepped on the sound to look for someone. I saw a kind old man playing the piano calmly in the courtyard, so he pretended to be a martial artist and practiced Peking Opera, which turned out to be a good show.
In the middle of the smooth lens transitions, black and white images from the old movie "Cross Streets" occasionally appear. Amidst the vast blue sky and the beautiful and natural atmosphere of life, the main tone of vibrant "green" and the artist's modeling color are highlighted. Unified, it can be said that this is a "minimalist" green MV, aiming to deliver the comfortable and joyful feeling of "aerobic stress reduction" to the audience.
In the MV, Huang Qiwen wears a flower feather on her head and holds a flag on her back as she practices the dance. She does not use a stunt double, which is suitable for her years of physical training and her understanding of traditional stage performance forms. According to the "famous teacher" of the Chinese Opera School who once guided Huang Qiwen, it is rare to see actors like this who are temporary disciples who do not need to be taught and can perfectly imitate every move. However, the way of promoting Chinese opera in the MV is highly praised. This shows her love and attitude towards traditional Chinese literature and art.
Beijing streets, fashionable girls, old movies, sanxian, and Peking opera are constantly rising and falling in the trendy electronic music beats. In the song MV of "All Living Things", Huang Qiwen's aesthetic conception of "mainstream literary youth" The design is unique, traditional and classic on the one hand, and fashionable and sexy on the other. The idea of ??"In Spring" comes from the song "Why Are the Flowers Still So Red" two years ago, a folk song that has been circulated for decades, adding the word "huan", which not only inherits the original deep meaning, but also It exudes the spirit of this world, from "comprehension" to "interpretation", the listener can receive two "red" images at the same time in the two songs that span decades, and the singer is Outside the song, the interpretation is combined with the sense of time, with a touch of "revisiting the old place" and a reflection of "asking yourself".
For a song, a movie of the same name was made. For the word "return", three years of precious time were given. If you only have stubbornness, you also need resilience. I suspect that Huang Qiwen is here. In the process of writing the song, I completed a practice. I went through a lot of hardships in a lonely situation, probably not to complete the "conceptual" series of works, and finally gained a tempered state of mind.
This point is reflected in the new song "In Spring". First, the song is popular and concise. Although it is not profound, it has expanded from a "private perspective" to the "attitude of all living beings" and is full of the "naturalness" of Chinese philosophy. The direction of "viewing" and "mind and regulating Qi" makes people feel relaxed and relaxed; the combination of Sanxian and R&B music style is like a cup of warm new tea or medium roasted coffee. In this leisurely "Spring" "It's very pleasant to enjoy the taste." Listening back to Huang Qiwen's previous works, there are lingering and heart-wrenching love songs, as well as bold and refreshing rhythmic dance music. Both of them are engraved with the meaning of multi-purpose control and singing skills, and this song has a narrowed vocal range. In terms of interpretation, it has led to delicate integrity, and even the biting and placing of several bytes reflects the wisdom of the voice.
The arrangement of "In Spring" is not an ordinary recording studio product. The continuity of electronic rhythm and the addition of Rap passages give the song structure a sense of progression and richness, which is why Huang Qiwen, as a professional Did a stage singer, a director, think of the visual effects of a live performance and deliberately incorporate them during production?
In the midst of "apocalyptic love songs", in an era when Western-style dance music dominates the global pop music index, in the embarrassing mainland music scene where "records are dead and it is better to sell roast duck", the old music scene from China has been glorious for a century. In the movie, I discovered the source of inspiration, and with a mood and attitude of tribute and gratitude, I devoted myself to producing new singles that have the meaning of "retro revival" and "sexy jumping". They use creativity to drive the subject matter and wisdom. The ideas of communication are formed, and the subject of this communication itself has a strong sense of "Chinese symbols" and national history.
Compared with various singers and groups under the banner of "world music national style", Huang Qiwen's "Spring" obviously has more positive significance and should be widely recognized. Because it conforms to the temperament foundation of Eastern aesthetics.
"In Spring" is not a song exclusively for this season. It doesn't matter if you listen to it too much. It has circulating positive energy and is a song for yourself.
