ENG SUB Definition of Online Following A Dialogue with Hua Chenyu II Hua Chenyu

Come on in

Let's have a chat with Hua Hua

Be careful

This is the recording scene where we're about to conduct an interview for our dialogue program called <<Sound, Name, Sing, Make>>

*Dialogue initiator : Huang Lan*

*Martian:Hua Chenyu*

Do you think being labeled as social media celebrity
is a burden

Or have you ever felt like a burden

No, I don't feel burdened by it

I don't think there's anything wrong with that

Whether I'm labeled
as social media celebrity or whatever

I think people like me for the love of my music

Therefore, I'd certainly be happy
if more people were to listen to my music

As of fan base, if you're able to inspire a large fan base,
I think this proves that there must be an aspect of you
appear attractive to others

I believe that for people to like that aspect of you,
there ought to be something you have
that others don't or it's something they're in pursuit of

I had a moment of sudden enlightenment
in gaining new insights about your fans

I feel that people who come away with an understanding of your music are though exceptional people

I feel that your music lies in the very essence
of individualization and have a great sense
of personal style

How do you keep going on about staying passionate and your own personal style remains intact

First, I’d make music as for sure this is something I like to do for myself, not for others

In my music composition,
I need to get inspired to make music

hence, I’d seek from a diversified source of inspiration

When I found inspiration,
I have a choice as to whether to take it

The choice is based on good aesthetic attributes

I’d construct judgments of the melody

and determine if it reaches the height
of my aesthetic judgment

However, I’d apply it
if it serves my definition of music aesthetics

Often, the melody is the theme of a song,
much like a shadow (always attached to an object)

If I think it's a really nice melody
and it falls in line with my aesthetic judgment

Hence, by means of rational thinking and professional knowledge, I’d turn it into a beautiful song

For me, I always feel inspired as I've been exposed to different things year after year

these include people and things that I see,

There’ve been growing in this aspect of myself, therefore I could find inspiration that is constantly around me

Personally, I think my music is getting better
as with better technique

I could have the melody ideas more perfect
or even better

When you feel that inspiration and creation work progressed to an absolute satisfactory level and have reached the height of your aesthetic judgment

you may have new choices and would probably incline to more complex and difficult music

Would you be worried about losing your audience

No, in fact, is normal on the average

It is impossible to make a song that everyone likes

Invariably, there must be people like and dislike you

All I have to do at this moment is to stay persistent and remain true to myself

I'm kind of self- centered when it comes to music making and I don't quite listen to other people's opinions

If you listen to someone else's opinion,
this proves that you compromise on your initial objective and the composed melody

I feel that Hua Chenyu's music
takes me to another planet

the inclusion, along with lyrics, the sense of melody
and the entire piece of music doesn't seem to happen
in this planet earth

It could have happened in another world or universe

And your concert is called Mars Concert,
is there anything special about it

How to become a member of your Martian family

I actually love the words "Huo Xing" (Mars)

It's a feeling of a sense of detachment

A lot of people should have such an experience
of this state

That is to say when you're in a busy environment and you might want to do something else

You would probably zone out
or wander off into another world

I’d detach myself from the surroundings
when I make music

A lot of my songs are written in a dark room

When I shut myself up in the room, I can't see anything in front of me and I ain't seeing new things either

But how does inspiration comes about

Actually, it's through detaching myself
and travel to another space and scene

And be inspired

I’d immerse myself in an imaginary world filled with fantasy, this makes me feel a sense of novelty

After which, I’d come out with a melody

The reason my concert is called Mars is that...

I hope to give the audience feeling the effect of leaving earth the moment they set foot in the venue

It's sort of like, in that very moment,
you're not attending a concert

but seemingly you're being absorbed by my music
that exists in another world

That is how Hua Chenyu' world
and little universe look like

Your fans with whom you grow together
comprehend your little universe

That's right

It could be you and your fans
do share a similarity little universe

Do you feel lonely

No one else could feel it for you

No, I enjoy being alone

Solitude does exist
as I feel that some solitude is essential

Occasionally, after a long day at work,
when you get home and have a relaxing shower

You probably don't feel like doing anything after that

And just want to be alone for a while

- But it's a state that is good getting into
- For many people, this sensation seems sumptuous

I let myself to be detached while making music

That moment, I enjoy my time in solitude

What does concert mean to you

It sounds to me like a.....

It's something you're yearning to show others...

No, it looks like a party...

You're sending everybody to Mars.

Yes, I love the concert because a large number of my songs are written especially for a live music concert

There exist a number of songs not included
on my album for listening

Simply because you need to attend a live music concert and watch my performance

For instance
and

Songs like this, live music is the way to listen

However, there are also a series of songs written particularly for the album

These songs are specially for listening on the album instead of a live performance

A few remarkable contestants have left the competition in the recent episode of "The Coming One"

You were incredibly emotional

I listened to your comments observantly

I feel that part of your reason for liking them is that you love their music

and seemingly accessing their inner world
through music

Or maybe they had some kind of sentiment expression that resonated with you,
thus you especially cherished them

-What I've got here is a cover video of your song
- Oh really

I couldn't believe how good her singing was
until I watched the clip

- Is that so? I'm curious about it
- Let me show you the clip

I think it's a girl

She's a girl

The female cover version is actually pretty good

Well, not bad

- Let me help you with the phone - That's all right

- She is a Visual kei
- She's looking pretty cool in styling too

The song goes well with her image styling

She looks like a warrior

- I think the most exciting thing is to hear this song live
- It's a surge of excitement

I feel that you should put on armor just as an alien and help save the world

She's a really cool person

It's amazing that she could sing so well

I'm surprised by her singing as it's rare to hear this song with a female voice

After listening to her, have you ever thought about writing female versions of songs in the future

Or have you given any thought to writing songs
for female singers

Was there ever a request being made to you

Yes, Karen Mok asked me once
if I could write her a song

I wrote her a song called <Half a Lifelong Romance>

She has released the song

- This kind of powerful.... - it's a powerful song

I pretty like the tone of her voice

I feel that there are an element and texture
of rock and roll in her voice

Something similar to that of your fans
who sing fairly well in karaoke and at the bar

Do you have any advice on how they can prepare themselves if they were to go on stage one day

I think to perform on stage,
one's need to find his own direction,
that is to be yourself

It would be great if you could bring your own emotions
in singing someone else's song
while keeping the original melody

This is too difficult

This is actually equal to learning how to sing

A lot of people would mimic others
when they first learn how to sing

That is to mimic someone else's way of signing

But over the years, you would find your own voice

If you're able to sing all your favorite songs in KTV
using your own voice

At that point, you're almost ready to enter a contest

I'm done here, go home!

Hua Hua is especially happy today

And I had a great time chatting with him too

I wish Hua Hua all success in discovering a bigger self through his creation works undertaking in the future

The End
