Over the years, Lan Li has never given up on music creation, intermittently, inspiration is always flowing continuously and recorded in different ways.

Some creations are complete, and some creations are still incomplete.

For example, on the night of the Tony Awards two years ago, he achieved the greatness of EGOT, but fell into the confusion of heights. He left the award ceremony to try to find some fresh air. The feeling of suffocation and confusion made him feel Lost in the streets of New York, and then burst into inspiration.

"Frist-Thing-Frist", there is also a melody with no name. Neither of these two songs can be completed, and some gaps have been filled intermittently, especially the former. The chorus has been completely created. Completed, but the whole is still incomplete.

Of course, overall, there are more completed works. If it covers finished products and semi-finished products, Lan Li now has at least more than 80 works in his hands-compared to those professional singers, this is naturally nothing but sprinkling; but for professional actors, the number is very considerable. .

Now, what Lan Li needs to do is to select the works suitable for the next album from among Chengshan's works. This is why it is so important to determine the concept and core of the album.

Once the concept of the album is determined, you can start selecting tracks to see which finished products can be selected, which semi-finished products need to be completed, and whether you need to collect songs from other songwriters—

In case Lan Li’s current creation does not conform to the album concept they conceived, either Lan Li’s temporary re-creation or collection of songs through channels is a normal work style.

Although George Slander still prefers to use Lan Li to complete the creation of the entire album, if Lan Li is really lacking in inspiration, then it may not be surprising to seek other things. Including Ed Sheeran, Son of Blessed, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, etc., Renly also has many friends in the music circle. They are also singer-songwriters who can create and work together. Chorus, nothing like that.

In the next period of time, Lanly and George got busy in the recording studio.

After reading Lan Li’s creation, George came up with an interesting idea:

Just like Bob Dylan back then, he gradually shifted from folk songs to rock, but still mixed his own understanding of folk songs, but incorporated more elements into the use of musical instruments, which is somewhat similar to the musical style of the Blessed Sons. Between folk and rock, it goes further than "Don Quixote."

The reason for this choice is mainly because Lan Li's creation is clearer and more open. Using different instruments to create resonance sparks can often give the melody more malleability and at the same time enrich the emotions. More importantly, this can extend the story of "Don Quixote".

Just like... Icarus.

In ancient Greek mythology, Daedalus was a great artist, and the world admired his artworks very much. However, his admiration for vanity, jealousy and hatred made him fall into the dark because he was jealous of the talent of his nephew, Talos. Darros feared that Talos might surpass himself, so he brutally killed Talos.

Daedalus was found guilty, but he managed to escape before being imprisoned. In panic, he lost his way and finally came to Crete, found the local king Minos, and settled here, becoming Mi North's friend is regarded as a famous artist and is greatly respected.

In spite of this, Daedalus has missed his hometown day by day, and he felt that King Minos did not trust himself and lacked sincerity in dealing with others, so he did not want to waste his life on an isolated island. He must try to escape. After careful consideration, he happily came up with a brilliant idea:

Although Crete had blocked roads and waterways, he could still leave by air.

So Daedalus began to collect and sort out feathers, large and small, and then trapped the feathers in the middle with twine, and sealed the ends with beeswax; finally, the feathers were slightly bent, exactly like bird wings.

At that time, Daedalus married a local woman in Crete and had a son named Icarus.

Icarus likes to stand beside him and use a pair of small hands to help his father work. When Dalros was about to leave, he decided to take his son and fly away.

"You have to be careful." Daedalus said, "You must fly in mid-air. If you fly too low, your wings will hit the sea, and if you touch the sea, it will become heavy, and you will be dragged into the sea; and Flying too high, the feathers of the wings will catch fire because they are close to the sun.” Daedalus said while binding the wings to his son, but his hands trembled slightly. Finally, he gave Icarus one. kiss.

The two puffed up their wings and began to fly. Daedalus flew ahead, taking care of Icarus like an old bird flying with its first nestling chicks.

At first, things went well, but Icarus was elated. He felt that his flight was very brisk and couldn't help being proud. So flying higher, faster, faster, forgetting, and then the punishment comes-the sun melts the wax, and the feathers on the wings begin to loosen.

Icarus hadn't noticed yet, the wings had been completely spread, and rolled down his shoulders. The unfortunate child could only use his hands to paddle in the air desperately, but it was of no avail. He fell all the way, and finally fell into the ocean, and was swallowed up by the stormy waves in an instant.

All this happened so quickly that Daedalus didn't notice it at all. When he turned around, he only saw feathers floating above the sea.

People always think that Icarus is too proud and too blind. His arrogance buried his life. At the same time, he also used his life to atone for his father to kill Talos. The cycle of cause and effect, after all, could not escape the sanction of fate; but However, Lan Li saw a difference in this tragic character:

I started to be proud because I was too passionate about it, and I started to be blind because I was too involved, so that I lost myself, hugging the sun like a moth to a fire, and finally...the jade was burned.

This can be seen as a tragic figure further than Don Quixote, and at the same time as a reflection of every artist. They are so arrogant, immersed in their own world, forgetting about it, and even having wrong ideas. , And then just burn life to pieces.

Lan Li, the same is true.

He has created countless histories and miracles. He has achievements that ordinary people cannot imagine, but he has been lost in the emptiness and predicament of the power structure. Once, he thought he was Ulysses, just like Levine Davis of "Drunk Country Folk Songs," he went around for a while, and finally returned to his place, and then kept walking; but in fact, he was just Icarus lost himself step by step in self-confidence and pride.

He hopes that he can go through the last vicissitudes of life like Ulysses and still find his way home, but at least not now—at this moment, he is just Icarus, his wings melted to pieces by the sun, and he keeps throwing his hands trying. Controlling his body was just in vain. The pull of gravity made him fall continuously, so that he could not find the way and direction to go home.

From performance to music, from folk songs to rock and roll... From Don Quixote to Icarus, Renly, who is falling fast, is trying to find himself.

The genre between folk songs and rock and roll is precisely the reflection of Lan Li’s confused state of mind — clues can be glimpsed from Lan Li’s creation. Obviously, it is not just the confusion caused by "Rogue One" In the past four years, that kind of confusion has slowly fermented and grown, and finally bloomed under the power constraints of "Rogue One". It has changed from quantity to qualitative, which really shook Lan Li's thoughts.

In this way, the core concept of the new album was determined:

"Icarus".

During the fall, Icarus kept throwing his hands, trying to save himself.

After finalizing the concept of the album's theme, Lan Li started to get busy, selecting songs, completing the creation, and integrating the album, and all the work was carried out step by step.

What is unexpected but reasonable is that there are more works that fit the theme in Lan Li’s creation than imagined—as mentioned above, this kind of confusion is not a matter of one day or two, and music inspiration never lies. , Can always reflect the truest feelings of the creator.

Including the two tracks that made EGOT night, in fact, they have not been able to be created until now, which is also a signal in itself.

No matter what, the focus of Lan Li's life has obviously tilted, and then stabilized again, step by step into the world of music creation.

Compared with the release of "Don Quixote" four years ago, Renly is definitely not what it used to be-even though Renly has only released one album so far, it can still be regarded as a guest "part-time" singer; but as long as Lan Li nodded, and the major music companies couldn't wait to pay for the album.

No one can miss the blue gift.

However, Lan Li chose the eleven studio. No surprises.

At the beginning of the release and promotion of "Don Quixote", the cooperation between the two parties was very happy. Teddy Bell of the 11th studio has left a deep impression on Lan Li; now Lan Li has no reason to choose other record companies—though they It may be more abundant in resources and more effective in promotion, but these have never been the focus of Renly's pursuit, nor is it the focus of George Slander's attention.

In order to ensure the purity of "Icarus", XI Studio is still the best choice.

What's more, George and Renly still believe that "Icarus", like "Don Quixote", should not return too much hope in terms of market performance.

Even though Lanly’s current fame has swept the world, fame is one thing, and album sales are another: niche albums that can’t impress the audience, proactively difficult to open the situation, even if it’s the rebirth of Michael Jackson and the reorganization of the Beatles , And still the same.

So, forget about the marketing and public relations for the time being, and concentrate on the album production. Everything is the same as before.
