⊙Whistle and northern England bagpipe charm "Wu" method

Xiao Wu showed sincerity, picked up his bags and ran to the UK

Watched the movie "Titanic" "People must have been deeply impressed by the sound of the ship's whistle in the movie. In order to find this instrument and increase the richness of the genre in the album, Xiao Wu thought hard for a long time, and finally he found two of them in the UK. The long-cherished musical instrument - "Tin flute, North England bagpipe".

In order to add these two unique voices to the album, Xiao Wu worked tirelessly to pack up his bags and run to the UK in September last year.

⊙Wu Li invades the UK. The British guys have to be obedient

The British chief musician screamed when he was bullied by Xiao Wu

As soon as Xiao Wu arrived in the UK to record After getting married, it turned out to be as popular as in Taiwan. Many musicians have occupied a place in the British music scene, including Ian Thomas and Jeff who have successfully created "Oasis", "Robbie William's", "Spice Girls" and "Everything But The Girl". Gascoigne, Simon Chamberiain, John Parricelli, Tamagoh, Miitch Dacton, Alan Dunn... all were inferior to Xiao Wu's musical talent, so they were all willing to accept Xiao Wu's mercy in the recording studio. One of the guitarists, Miitch Dacton, said, I have collaborated with Xiao Wu before, and I was shocked by Xiao Wu’s persistence in music. But when we collaborated again a few years later, I was surprised again, because his persistence has not changed at all. He is truly the most stupid person he has ever worked with. But he also had to admit that Xiao Wu's persistence was always right, because every time he cooperated, there would be different surprises and expectations. When the accompanying staff saw Xiao Wu conducting the British musicians and his serious expression, they couldn't help but say to Xiao Wu: "You are so awesome!"

⊙Xiao Wu is indeed a ruthless character. Only he could have imagined such a musical idea

Added Titanic's "Missing", please pay attention when listening

This time Xiao Wu will come to the UK to look for the inspiration for the whistle. The movie "Titanic" made countless people cry at that time, and Xiao Wu was deeply moved by this movie at the time. He was moved by the love between the male and female protagonists in the movie, although they were not blessed, but they still loved persistently. Even in the face of life and death, that love remains unchanged, even if it sacrifices life, it doesn't matter. The poignant plot is paired with the touching movie soundtrack, which is Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On", because this touching feeling in Xiao Wu It has been echoing in my heart for a long time, especially the sound of the whistle at the beginning has been unforgettable for Xiao Wu, so this time Xiao Wu can be said to have tried every possible means to find the sound of the ship's whistle in the Titanic, which is also the "whistle" .

The sound of the whistle is very sad and insecure, which fits the sad atmosphere of the movie. However, Xiao Wu used his musical creativity to play the whistle in a mid-tempo song. In the song - "Missing You".

This song is about friendship. It can be said that the genre of music is very different. Although everyone was not optimistic about Xiao Wu’s approach at first, when the results were shown, everyone raised their eyebrows. Thumbs up and praised: "It sounds great!" Xiao Wu, who has always been brave enough to try, also promised not to disappoint everyone with the new style of music that he personally prepared. It will definitely have a different feeling than before.

⊙The friend who is the best at sex sings the most delicious "Missing You"

Xiao Wu used his whole body to compose the most sincere friendship in Asia. The song, this time added the tears of 50 girls from Pu class in the third year of Daren Girls’ Middle School. Be strong after listening to it.

This friendship song in the album - "Missing You" can be said to be a real thing, written by Xiao Wu with his true temperament.

Xiao Wu turns tears into musical notes and adds a salty flavor to the song. Be strong after listening to it!

In May of this year, Xiao Wu originally hoped to go to the campus to sing for the graduates, but because he was busy recording the new album, he couldn't spare the time, so Xiao Wu wanted to do his best for the fans. Wu, after thinking hard for a long time, finally came up with a way to get the best of both worlds, which was to help the graduating class record a graduation song to commemorate their friendship.

As soon as the event started, letters of participation came in like a snowflake. After the company staff’s evaluation, the three-year Park Class of Daren Girls’ High School was finally selected. Because they were the most complete and attentive in recording every moment of their classmates from the first to third years of high school with photos and words, which made the staff deeply feel the deep friendship between their classmates. So of course they defeated all the experts and became the final winners of the event.

On May 13, 2000, a large number of girls entered the recording studio for the first time. They could not hide their nervousness and excitement, and they were so noisy that the recording studio was almost overturned. Although the scene was chaotic, However, Xiao Wu quickly joined them at the vegetable market without changing his expression, and chatted with them about the southeast, northwest, and northwest. The laughter erupted one after another in the recording studio. However, while everyone was immersed in joy, the planning on the side continued. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, sweating nervously, because he only had two hours to book the recording studio. Under the pressure of precious time, there was no movement at all in the recording progress. He almost went crazy on the spot. Fortunately, everything The situation was all under Xiao Wu's control. The previous relaxing time was just a warm-up exercise, hoping to relax the nervousness of his classmates and make the recording smoother. When Xiao Wu saw the plan of wiping sweat frequently, he quickly comforted her. He said: "Relax, two hours is absolutely fine.

When it came to the official recording, Xiao Wu immediately performed the trick of changing his face and became a strict devil producer, guiding every student very seriously, and the students I also learned that Xiao Wu is famous for being strict in production. When the song was being recorded, Xiao Wu suddenly noticed the sound of sobbing in his headphones. When he took a closer look, he found that all his classmates were crying and their eyes were red. Even the teacher hugged her classmates and cried together, because when they sang the song "Share", they remembered the good times in the past and had all kinds of reluctant feelings. In such a mood and such a song The emotions caused them to burst into tears, and the entire recording studio was enveloped in a sad atmosphere. The emotional Xiao Wu was deeply moved by this scene. That night, Xiao Wu turned this emotion into music creation, I wrote this song─"Missing"

This was inspired by the tears of 50 girls in Park Class in three years, so Xiao Wu wants to include this song in the new album. , to the third-year Pu class and everyone, I hope you can always miss me, because those young years were really beautiful.

Long live friendship comes from the "Third-year Pu class of Daren Girls' Middle School". "Thank you from the bottom of my heart

The full version of "One Knife Uncut" can only be heard on the radio.

And this time the company will also specially include the words of thanks between teachers, students and classmates of the three-year Pu class. Ji Xiaowu introduced that the creative motivation for this song is in the single, hoping that everyone can feel the mood and meaning of this song. By then, radio DJs will only receive one version of the single content, so if you want Friends who are listening to the story, don’t forget to lock in the major radio stations. If you miss it, you won’t be able to hear it!

⊙The British weather is a big test, and you almost fall out with God

The "wet" atmosphere of Cambridge, England can be seen in "The Weather Outside the Window"

In addition to the music production in the UK this time, Xiao Wu also shot the music video "The Weather Outside the Window" in the UK, but in The filming was full of twists and turns, and the staff were miserable.

Since the music video for this new song wanted to convey a sad mood, the director finally made it possible after searching all the British attractions. He found a scene that had never been filmed in Taiwan, which was the legendary "Cambridge" where many poignant love stories took place. Because there are many lovers on Cambridge who choose to end their love here, it also adds a lot of feeling of separation to this bridge. Such an atmosphere even the great poet Xu Zhimo was inspired to write Farewell to Cambridge. "Wave your sleeves and don't take away a cloud" is a classic saying, but in fact there is no bridge called Cam Bridge. It is just because it is a bridge on the Cam River, so everyone just calls it short.

In order to take pictures of the beautiful scenery of Kangqiao, Xiao Wu and the rest of the staff went through a lot of hardships and almost fell out with God.

Because on the first day, when everyone was ready and heading to Cambridge in an excited mood, they found that it started to drizzle as soon as they went out, so in order not to cause the weather to affect the shooting Cambridge has lost its beauty, so the shooting schedule for that day had no choice but to be cancelled.

The next day, although the sky was already gray when we set out, Xiao Wu had the feeling that he would not catch the tiger's cubs if he did not enter the tiger's den, so he decided to still go to Cambridge to try his luck. There can be good weather, but because Cambridge is in the suburbs of England, the journey is far away, and a journey takes 4 hours. Therefore, when the group of people arrived at the destination after a bumpy journey, it rained heavily again. Xiao Wu and the staff were dumbfounded on the spot.

Suddenly everyone's mood hit rock bottom, but at this time Xiao Wu showed his cheerful personality, telling jokes frequently to make everyone happy and comforting him by saying: "Everyone, cheer up, just come back tomorrow, anyway, let's just treat it as..." These words of Xiao Wu made the staff present feel very considerate and felt that Xiao Wu was really like a friend.

Finally, on the third day, good weather appeared in Cambridge, England. , although it was not a sunny day, but compared to the situation of the previous two days, it was God’s blessing, and the sincere prayers really worked. After carefully viewing the beautiful scenery of Kangqiao, everyone also put aside the unpleasantness of the previous two days and became more devoted to the shooting work. Xiao Wu hopes to fully present the beauty of Kangqiao that he has seen with his own eyes to his Taiwanese friends.

In the music video for "The Weather Outside the Window", Xiao Wu expressed how love has passed away. , a person's loneliness, he walked through the streets of England carrying his guitar, sat in a black taxi unique to the UK, looked at the scenery outside the window, and finally chose to put his beloved guitar on the Cam River. Placed on a boat and flowed by the river, the entire music video fully expresses a person's loneliness and sentimental atmosphere, with a strong sense of melancholy, which is exactly in line with an original song included in Xiao Wu's new album - "The Weather Outside the Window" "Emotion. So although many situations happened during the filming, Xiao Wu still insisted on going to Kangqiao to shoot his music video, because Xiao Wu hoped that by shooting such scenes and matching music with such mood, it would make people People have a deeper feeling.

The black taxis in the UK really make people’s faces look dark

The gas station workers went on strike and waited in queues for eternity

< p> What’s more special in the “Weather Outside the Window” music video is the unique black taxi that was photographed in the UK. This is a model left over from World War II. It is only found in the UK in the world! Wu especially wanted to shoot it in the "Weather Outside the Window" music video, and the black car just matched the gloomy mood of the song. Of course, it was not that easy to shoot because of the car. It’s important not to reuse it. Although it looks good, it’s very uncomfortable to sit in the car. Even the staff vomited while sitting there, but Xiao Wu was as stable as a rock and could leisurely enjoy the British scenery outside the car. !

In order to film this unique black taxi in the UK, Xiao Wu and all the staff really went through a lot of hardships and exhaustion, because this trip to the UK was so unexpected. We encountered a gas station workers' strike that is rare in Taiwan (the reason is that oil is the most expensive place in the UK), so when Xiao Wu saw that there was a long queue to buy gas, and there were people there 24 hours a day. When I saw the scene of queuing up to buy gas, I couldn’t help but exclaim: “Oh my God! ", thinking about what to do if something like this happened in Taiwan. But in fact, the person who wanted to cry the most when seeing this scene should be the director, because he had to get up at four or five o'clock in the morning to queue up to buy gas. The director was filming during the day His work was very hard at that time, and he encountered a situation that was rare in a hundred years. He could not sleep well at night, and had to queue up in the dark to buy gas. He only thought that everyone was still dreaming about Duke Zhou. The director couldn't help but sigh: "What a terrible fate! ”

⊙It was all the fault of "Harbor". Xiao Wu was penniless and almost ended up living on the street

What did Xiao Wu spend for the first time to borrow money from the company

When I went to the UK this time, the accompanying staff were shocked by Xiao Wu's love and dedication to music.

Xiao Wu has many years of experience in music production, but this time he turned out unexpectedly. After arriving in the UK, he temporarily decided to re-arrange the song "Harbor" because he collaborated with a guitarist who played a song with a Spanish flavor - Epitome of Love, which made him feel as if he had found a treasure. It felt that this extended the recording time in the UK, but he did not make a reservation first, so he spent twice as much on the recording studio, recording engineer and musicians. Xiao Wu said that in the past, he would have some money leftover when recording in the UK. , but this time he had half a cent left and had to borrow money from the company. Even so, he didn't feel bad at all, because after all, good musicians and good voices are not easy to get, just to make the songs better. Well, he is willing to spend more money.

But the staff of the company think that the song is actually very good, and it is not the title song, so there is no need to spend more money and time. came to re-arrange it, but Xiao Wu didn’t agree with the staff’s opinions at all, and said righteously that there was no so-called title song in his heart. As long as the note was worthy, even if it was B4 or B5 in the album, it would be fine. He was willing to pay five times more. Sure enough, the reorganized Harbor was an unexpected surprise, and the staff had to admire it and said: "Xiao Wu's persistence is indeed right. ”

Xiao Wu Hui’s visual instrument, the small flute, has a great origin and has only been used by Sting in the history of popularity

The sentimentality of the “Northern England Bagpipes” can be heard in “Harbor”

In the song "Harbor", Xiao Wu specially added the Northern England bagpipe, because the Northern England bagpipe is a very small flute. When played, it is very sentimental and has a feeling of separation, which is in line with the poignancy of this song. The mood is perfect to match. Speaking of this seemingly inconspicuous bagpipe, it has a great background, because in the history of pop music, only Sting has used this instrument, so Xiao Wu is the second one after Sting. A singer-songwriter named "England Bagpipe" joins the music.

.

The emotional Xiao Wu often expresses his emotions in his creations, so many of the songs he creates have small stories behind them. The origin of the song "Harbor" is that Xiao Wu met a switchboard girl during the "Dian Jiang" period, and established a strong brother-sister relationship because of speculation with her. After that, although they worked hard for music in different places, many years later, the two reunited at Sony Music, and the switchboard girl from back then also transformed into an outstanding project manager, but the project manager wanted to go to Japan to study because of his ideals , so at the celebration banquet of Xiao Wu’s best album, she hugged Xiao Wu and cried bitterly because of all kinds of reluctance. Xiao Wu was moved and wrote a song to say goodbye to her, hoping that she would not be worried about leaving. She felt sad because she had to give up every bit of Taiwan in Japan. Xiao Wu told her that she wished her a happy and safe journey, and that she could go to Japan with confidence to find her own dream!

When Xiao Wu sang this song in the recording studio, the English bagpipes paired with Xiao Wu’s poignant interpretation made the on-site publicity staff unconsciously moved. After listening to it, , everyone's expressions looked a little sad, completely integrated into Xiao Wu's singing.

Because of the director's insistence, Xiao Wu's "harbor" drifted into the snow of "Hokkaido"

The director went to Japan to shoot a snow scene

This time Wu's music video "Harbor", after listening to the song, the director was deeply moved and hoped to make a five-minute music film, allowing Xiao Wu to simply play the role of an accompanying singer, and cooperate with Xiao Wu to play the bagpipes of Northern England in the UK. We hope to create a "harbour with falling snow".

In addition, a one-minute prelude and dialogue were added before the "Harbor" MTV. The entire MTV was shot in Hokkaido, Japan. During the filming, the male protagonist suffered frostbite due to the needs of the plot. One hand was almost disabled, but it can be said that everyone worked hard for the music video of "Harbor".

The plot content this time is probably about the hero's self-exile to Japan, because their encounter has a lot to do with Snow. In the last scene, the hero went crazy because of longing for him and beat Snow fiercely. In order to shoot this scene, the actor suffered frostbite on his hand and his whole hand was almost disabled. It was really hard during the filming.

For this snow scene, the director took the entire team to Hokkaido, Japan, in December to shoot. Although the snow scene only has a few shots in the music video, the director wanted to add a real feeling. , so I insisted on not using artificial snow, hoping to use Japanese snow to make the story more profound, in line with the poignant feeling of the song "Harbor".

⊙2001 The new "Wu" style music movement is in full swing!

Xiao Wu’s 2001 brand new Mandarin album contains 12 new songs, including 8 never-before-published new songs and 2 original songs - Elva Hsiao’s “Outside the Window” "Weather", "2001's Message", among which "2001's Message" even invited Co Co and Coco Lee to sing duets across languages, time and space, and last year's most exposed China Trust's RMB 10 million designated advertising song "Hope is Here", and One song has the overture from the northern England bagpipe opening of the movie "Titanic"; the album's music style is ever-changing and successfully integrates various unexpected musical elements.
