Audience from the globe. Welcome to our Friday's program of Special Guests of Golden Billboard
Special Guests of Golden Billboard.
I don't know that many people with the surname of Hua
I learnt about Master Doctor Hua Tuo when I read Three Kingdoms
Then at elementary school in math classes, I got to know a mathematician Hua Luogeng
Today, as a DJ of radio, it is my honor to get to know Hua Chenyu
Welcome Hua Hua, Hua Chenyu
Hello Hello. How are you dear host?
What is the name of the host? His name is Kevin. Let's do it again
Hello Kevin. How are you?
Please say it again in front of this microphone louder
Hello Kevin, dear host, how are you
It seems that the microphone is not on. No worry, I will let them
turn it up later. Now let's welcome Hua Hua, Hua Chenyu
Please try this microphone.
Hello
Great, it is coming on
Okay. Welcome Hua Chenyu. Hua: Hello everyone
I am Hua Hua Hua Chenyu. Host: So it should be pronounced as Hua (fourth tone)
as in Hua Tuo. Hua: that is alright. It should be pronounced as Hua ( fourth tone)
But I have been called Hua (second tone) Chenyu since I was a kid by my friend
But it should have been Hua (fourth tone). Host: So you've got used to it
Okay, today let's welcome
Hua (Fourth tone) Chenyu
Today, you brought your brand new album, which is also your first
Hua: Right. Host: Quasimodo's Gift
For this, I have to praise Hua Hua's fans
I sent out a microblog earlier
I said: they all say that the ETs (Hua's fans) are great
If I get 10,000 comments on this microblog
that would be incredible
And then, as expected
before I got on the air, I checked, there have been over 3000, almost 4000 comments already
That is too quick
And, also my first copy of Quasimodo's Gift didn't come from your company
Instead, it came from
a fan called Qiqi from your Beijing Fan's Club
She mailed it to me. Your fans did it
I said, oh my God. There are really a lot of considerations
I have heard that they would, they would
mail many
albums of mine to radio stations
Right, those that would review
So hosts like us in the media doing musical programs
would all get a copy of Quasimodo's Gift
Okay, today, let's welcome Quasi
The Hua Chenyu I see today
is wearing an outfit with similar colors as mine
The same colors.. Red Red
You may not see it. We can describe it
It is all red. You like red right?
Yes, my favorite color is red. Host: Oh, it is really so
When I first got Quasimodo's Gift, I saw that its cover was white
with green inserts
Can you first introduce this album for us?
First of all
Quasimodo's Gift
This album
is named in this way because
there is a song with the same name in it
It is also called Quasimodo's Gift. I wrote the song myself
I was on a trip to Europe
Inside a church of Europe
I saw a very abstract painting then
In that painting, there was an abstract
figure of man
Right, that was an abstract painting.
After seeing that painting,
I felt a kind of unspeakable
sadness
Then I got an inspiration
And after I returned home
I wrote down the song right away
After composing
I had wanted to find good lyrics for it
I received many submissions
I came across the current lyrics and title by chance
Quasimodo. He was the character who knocks the bell in Norte Dame in Paris
The creep in the bell tower
He has a rather
abstract looking
Very similar to the man figure
I saw in the painting
It is a rather tragic figure
He's got sadness and loneliness in him
When I thought of him
it would recall a church, a man who knocks the bell
So it completely matches with
what I have written in the song
Therefore, I like it very much.
And also, this name
represents the theme of the whole album well
which has a sense of loneliness
Therefore, I use it to name the whole album
Quasimodo's Gift
The creep in the bell tower, is a kind man.
But others take advantage of him due to his ugly looks
In their eyes, he is very ugly
They use him. Hua: Yeah, he is rather naive
He is very naive and kind. Also, he is absolutely lonely
to the point of being sick
He loves to guard the bell tower alone
and acts as a lonely person. Is that like yourself?
When I saw the name then, I felt for it
First of all
I feel that I resemble him in many places
First of all, I am also
Host: I know that you are an innocent young boy
But I can be cynical sometimes.
Okay, we can talk about that more
But I am thinking
the voice that I hear in this album
including the songs you sing at Beijing's news release conference
One is called Glimmer
That song is also very subtle
What you are hearing in the air right now is Hua Chenyu's Glimmer
When you sung this song, did you have a kind of ...
since it feels very different from Let You Go
It went very gently and smoothly
In this song
How should I put it
I love the melody very much
because I felt that it is very simple
and
it is very catchy
And I like its feelings
I like the lyrics of Glimmer very much
That is glimmer
It is very much similar to my own characters
That is
I am the kind who doesn't like to be the Sun
Who wants to shine on all people
The kind that generates light and heat all the time
I am not that kind of person who likes to step out and actively helping a lot of people
I am the kind of person
who only steps out when you need me
just like the glimmer
So when you need it
it will step out. Although it is faint, but as long as it shines on you alone, it is Okay.
You come here for our noon program. It feels so right
Noon program? Why? Host: You are so warm
Glimmer, cannot match the Sun, but it feels like the sound of a small furnace.
So you might consider to come here?
Your second job?
Not bad.
Now let's hear it and let Hua Chenyu to have a break.
Glimmer from Hua Chenyu
Maybe I am just a glimmer
But I want to give you bright lights
I would rather get myself hurt
In dark nights
Gently for you
to shine on you lonely
Just let me be a glimmer
That let you have bright lights
In times of loneliness
No matter where you fly
I will shine
Giving you endless
glimmer
This is another
very warm voice
It feels sweat and fragrant
After hearing the song, it gives us a feeling of wanting to get closer
This is what this song, Glimmer, gives us in first impressions
It changes with different person. Everyone feels differently after hearing the song.
I believe that many people will be touched when listening
I see Hua Chenyu wearing a mouth cover today
because he has to wear one as a celebrity
because so many people know you
and so you have to cover your face and eyes everytime
How long have you had this hair style?
Since Sept. 27, 2013, the day you won the Super Boy competition
you have never changed, have you?
But I have longer hair than before
Much longer than before
It can cover my eyes now
Originally it was reaching eye-brows only
I am too lazy to cut it. I feel that
It is quite cool
When you do ice bucket challenge
It would make people feel that
your hair are all wet
But what I really wanted to say a moment ago is
what many ETs (fans) are worrying about
One of them said that: " Hua Hua, you got protect your skin"
Because of skin breaks outs recently. And this process of dealing with it could be a way of no return
You don't know when it is going to go away.
Hua Hua said that his skin is not in a good condition when we turned on the microphone
Yes, I am having a terrible skin break out recently
But I am dealing with it medically
Are you using some Chinese Medicine, to tune your self?
It doesn't matter, it is still my puberty.
Puberty at 24? Are you kidding?
The next song we are going to hear is called "Pillow Side Story"
This song belongs to the category of, as you have mentioned in your concert,
love of first sight. Hua: Yes
When I heard the song... This song is
is a song that I collected
When I heard the melody of the song
I felt at the moment that it conveys a
subtle feeling. Host: Subtle feeling?
Yes, subtle feeling
And at that time, this song had
English lyrics
When I heard the lyrics, I felt that
the lyrics was not what I wanted
Because
when I sung the song, I need to inject a new life to it
I said that I wanted
very romantic lyrics, and I wanted to make it like
what you would say to the woman of your love laying at bedside every night
the atmosphere of telling a story at pillow side to sooth her to sleep
Right. And ..
then I received this lyrics
I loved it. It matched with the melody completely
It is very romantic. Also, when I was singing
I imagined that I was singing at the ear of a person
That word is "Whispering"
Right? Gently
I sung very gently, just like when I was talking secretly
Hi everyone. What you are listening is Hua Chenyu's
whispering voice. It is very gently
I had a rather rude inquiry asking if you had food?
I told you, yes indeed, he hadn't eaten
Really hadn't had food for lunch
Let's hear this song from Hua Hua Hua Chenyu. Pillow Side Story
A frog
The frog sing a song for her everyday
The king and the queen
are all against him
But the princess says
He is the love of my heart
I cannot just say "Good Bye" to him like this
Who knows
The little frog turns to a prince
Bringing his princess
escapes the palace
They run to a place
where no one can bother them
Ever since then
The two
live happily after together
This is the fairy tale of him and her
Who knows that
The little frog turns into a prince
Bringing his princess
Escapes the palace
Run away to a place
where no one bothers them
Since then, the two
live happily together
This is the fairy tale of him and her
Tomorrow, I will
tell another pillow side story for you
Tonight the moon wants to sleep also
In your ears
say good-night
Welcome everyone back to our program of Global Music Golden Billboard again
Entering the segment of Super Guest, Hua Chenyu's time
Welcome Hua Hua: Hua: Hello everyone
Okay, you have removed your mouth cover
Today let's share Hua Chenyu's Quasimodo's Gift
Let's share it at this live show
Hua Hua, let me share my reactions of listening to the songs.
As a radio DJ, we always have feedbacks
I love especially in this album the song
Let you go. Not only because you composed it as the
main song, but because after hearing the whole album
I love the song instantly
The chorus of the song is very good
especially when you are depressed or down
When you hear the first phrase of the chorus
that is very punchy. Let's feel it.
When you are bothered, and suddenly you hear:
Let you go, don't get close to me
I only live for finding own truth
This first word is straight to the point
It needs to be like
Let you go
Do not get close to me
Okay
When recording this song
every "Let you go" is different. Hua: Yes, very one is different
The first one is very gentle
Very very light, as if it has not entered the chorus
Could you introduce your composition of this song?
When I wrote this song
what is interesting is that this song
doesn't have a lot of stories
It is just
that I spent as much time as the song lasts to compose it
I got it done in first try
That easy?
When I just arrived home
because I need one more song for my album
I needed a rock song of medium speed
Then I said, let me try at home to compose one
So, when I arrived at home
I turned on the recording pen of my phone
I got to the piano
After the first note and the prelude
I started to sing
I finished after the first time
After the first note, I have got the inspiration
I have got the melody in my head
So I finished the song. After singing
I heard it and felt it was pretty good and didn't do any touch ups.
Wow, this is really a one-time thing
Also, I feel that this kind song of natural composition
can move others especially effectively
Right right. Because I have the
same zodiac as Hua Chenyu, but I am four year's older
Too old
But I want to say that
everyone felt a sense of catharsis. Hua: Yes it is very cathartic
But a hundred audience will have 100 types of feelings. One hundred?
Everyone has different opinion. But for this song
ranked number one on our billboard this week
and in Douban music town
where there are a lot of grounded musicians
who can communicate with both the minority of listeners and the pulic
I saw that Let you go was ranked as Number one there also the day before yesterday
That is very cool, really cool
That is the public's opinion. That is great
Right, very cool. Host: you are kind of obtuse and cute
That is good
Let's hear it: Let you go by Hua Chenyu
That is great
Hua Chenyu and I heard this song with ear phones
We have been rocking with our heads
Is your head sore?
When I sing on stage, I always rock my head
Dang dang dang dang. When I saw
your Beijing Concert... Oh actually Beijing release conference
When you sing Glimmer, yer were quite. One hand in pocket
in white shirt, white sleeves
You were settled. But when you sing Let You Go
You cannot control the self inside of you
Yes, yes. I would get crazier
Up to now, what is that craziest thing
that you remember
on stage. Can you find one?
Craziest moment on stage?
Crazy moments on stage?
When I am on stage, I get crazy every single time
I get crazy on every song
Actually, on stage, I would be very carefree
On the contrary, off stage, I cannot be
as carefree
Yeah, I find that you have two poler sides. That is obvious
When it comes to music, you are not you
Yeah, right. I would get into another world
I would
throw myself deep into that atmosphere of music
and I would.... eh.... I would
When I lost my consciousness completely
I would get really crazy
I feel that a musician needs to get into this kind of feeling
That is like morphing into another personna
This morphing process is needed for musicians
Then there could be suprises. Hua: Once the microphone is on hand
Host: Change, let's go
Okay, we had a good time talking today
I want to ask, since 2013
starting from your championship till this year's
concerts on Sept. 6th and 7th, two in a roll,
and also on Sept. 19th, if I remember correctly
plus this album, Quasimodo's Gift
It seems right. I forget
I remember for you
This (schedule) is so packed.
It is quite a fast pace for releasing albums for a singer
Eh.. Right. Host: Since your debut till the release of your album
from promotion to concert....Do you feel your life is tiresome?
No, not at all. Not tiresome at all
Since my debut
till now, I have never felt tiresome in my life
Although sometime, as an entertainer
it is possible that ....
for example when my fans know my schedule
they may feel that I am too busy
may feel that it is very trying for me
But actually, I feel alright. Because during my working process
I enjoy it very much
So I don't feel tiresome
For example, to release my album
and
doing concert. Actually because I like music
I will release albums with my composed songs
and to sing in the concert
that is not very different from when I was a student
Because when I was at school, I was in a band
And at that time, except school
I would stay at home.. except when I have classes
I would rest at home. Now after my debut
it is also that I would rest at home after work
It is the same, as long as you imagine it to be the same, it is the same
That is really good-enjoying the moment. Hua: Yes, pretty good
But your skin break out is telling me that you need rest
When you need the rest then rest. We are thinking that
When you were on the show of "Diva on the Road", at that time you were very authentic
That is a reality show
We saw a Hua Chenyu who had trouble getting out of bed in the morning
and got really energized during night sometimes
And got along with the sisters on the show really well
Right
Was that the real you without reservations?
Yeah without reservations. Because I wouldn't mind the camera to begin with. Host: how they are placed.
Whether it is on or not. Hua: Because
the director told me that
Hua Hua you don't need to care about the cameras, whether it is following you
when taping for the program. You just have to treat them as air
It was lucky for me that when I was competing in the Superboy program
that is
during the competition, all of us
lived in a castle. In the castle
there were cameras 24 hours without any blind spot
That is to say
If the outside wanted to see us
they can log onto the web and saw us live
for what we were doing
We got used to the cameras
we didn't care that much
we could take it easy in front of cameras
Very calm. Hua: Yes right.
Whatever it is, it is. Host: Nothing hidden
No, completely none
Let me ask you a rather gossipy question, the ETs might choke me for it
If you were born several years earlier
Born earlier? Host: Yes, born earlier
Would you choose to ....
with Xu Qing ...( An elder actress that Hua met at Diva on the Road)
Would you have spent more time with her?
For example.... Hua: You are talking about developing ...
Host: like a boyfriend and girlfriend?
Born earlier?
For 20 or 30 years, that is not right? Host: Be careful about what you say!
Born earlier for that many years approximately? Host: yes
Yeah, it is possible that we would become very good friends
I wouldn't know details otherwise
After all, I was born so many years later
The kind of friendship between an elder sister and younger brother looked really genuin
Is that because that you both mentioned
that you understood each other well in interviews?
You saw a female version of yourself?
She is another version of me?
Right
It's like you are bonded
It is just that we communicate well
Although she is older than me
we don't have a big generation gap
That is beautiful. Okay, I am satisfied
Okay, after the ad, let's hear more songs
Thanks to Hua Hua. Welcome everyone back to our Golden Billboard program with Special Guests
I am DJ Kevin. This is Hua Hua, Hua Chenyu. Welcome
Hello everyone, I am Hua Chenyu
We have heard many good songs today
We are going to hear another song. I would like to mention that
to those ETs who want to kill me, I was wrong!
They were like: are you trying to die asking this kind of questions?
Today, it is also for Hua Chenyu's protection
I wanted to ask myself more questions but
I find that in many songs, for example
in frequent promotion gigs,
you have more time to sing right Hua Hua?
Right. Host: Right in front of the audience
Apart from music
I saw some behind the scenes of your MV
that had been released, I saw that you
acted as Quasimodo
Little Quasi
You had good lines
Have you seen my note on the window?
Right? The words of "See you again"
Do you feel that being an actor
is a good or better choice for you?
Ennn...
I feel it is fun. It depends on the role
First of all, because it is my MV
therefore
when the director wrote the script
it was based on
his impression of me
He set the role for me
it was also done according to the style of the song
to create the role
He let me to be myself when acting
That was really easy
You yourself has a strong sense of loneliness
It tells people that
you can live completely alone independently
and not bothered by the outside
I was pretty happy when acting
It was really fun at that time
In that MV, did you play the role from Pirates of Caribbean?
No I didn't. That was not me
That was the female lead. Host: Scary
The next song is "Travel Around"
What is this song about?
Travel around... emm...
it is just about
traveling and exploring
You almost dodged my question
It's lyrics are clear
This song
was composed by
a great band abroad
They wrote the song
and I collected it
The lyrics matches with the melody pretty well
and there are no special stories
it is quite alright
It is quite alright, but the arrangement sounds pretty sophisticated
I just like it
You simply like it
This sounds great
Now, Travel Around , by Hua Chenyu
This song is Travel Around brought by Hua Chenyu
Many friend like this song very much. We've heard about 2/3 of the song
We would like to thank Hua Chenyu specially
as the Special Guest of Golden Billboard
Thank you very much. Are there anything you want to tell about your future works?
Where are you going to go for example?
What kind of work?
Recently, erhh I will... Because our company is preparing a ten year anniversary celebration
No matter what, I am going to collaborate with an artist
Collaborate with an artist?
Right, right
No matter what, you are going to collaborate with an artist
That goes...
Okay, okay
Then there will be performances,
I might go to Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan
Maybe I need to go. I don't know the details yet
I know that this album
sold well in Taiwan and Hong Kong
And on some local billboards of Taiwan
this album is top ranked. It has win top spots
This is what I heard from reports. I believe it is true
That is really great. I hope that Quasimodo's Gift
can allow the audience sensing the full sincerity of Hua Chenyu's first album
A somewhat self-asserting work
Thank you very much then. You are going for lunch?
Okay, Bye Bye. Take care of your skin
Thank you, thank you Hua Chenyu. Bye Bye
Hello, I am DJ Kevin, Wenchao. I just sent Hua Hua Hua Chenyu away. I couldn't quite settle down yet
He brought his brand new album, and he is a musician that I appreciate a lot
A young musician who brought the album of "Quasimodo's Gift"
which allowed many audience to have shared this musical time with Hua Hua
Today, I sent a challenging microblog
If it gets more than 10,000 comments by fans
it would be unbelievable for me
Lastly, let me share the result.
After an hour, the total number of comments reached
12,551, and forwarded 2,800 times
470,000 reads
what the
heck
That is too great
So the ETs did what they said, which proves
Hua Hua's popularity and he really deserves the support
Hope that you get hooked on to the songs
in Quasimodo's Gift
