Introduction to Ah Chao’s works

Listen to the very popular internet writer - Ah Chao's first fully composed EP [Good Person]

In January 2006, a big boy from the music department wrote a song called [Good Guy]'s song was shared on his own blog. Unexpectedly, nearly 100,000 netizens rushed to the site to listen to it, and the amount of reposting and circulation was even more incalculable! Touching stories and feedback from netizens came one after another. This big boy’s blog! This big boy is very simple and cute. With a heart full of gratitude, he steps on the pedal (piano) and continues to create his works silently. One good song after another is posted on the Internet. After publishing on the road, he began to look for opportunities to realize his long-standing dream, and then participated in the 2006 Golden Spin Award Competition and won the championship in the solo group! The following year in 2007, he continued to participate in the creative group competition, and was immediately discovered by teacher Zhou Shihui in the preliminary competition, and then signed with Xiguo Entertainment to start the production of this first EP.

The production process of this EP impressed the producer Hui Ge. At the beginning, the song selection gave the company a headache, because Ah Chao has accumulated many good works, so the DEMOs one after another are really exciting. Putting the company in a dilemma. After selecting 4 demos to start production, the two of them had a perfect tacit understanding and constantly created new sparks. Ah Chao's simple and straightforward communication style often allowed the producers to express understanding words under the pressure of work. When I smile, I always feel that he is a wonderful, innocent and cute big kid!

Achao has been learning classical piano and viola for 15 years since he was a child, and has a solid and profound musical foundation

This first EP is not only Ah Chao's complete creation, but even the entire arrangement concept was developed by Ah Chao. He personally participated in the writing and recording of piano and viola. I believe that his rich and limitless musical talent will be hard not to be admired. The market took notice!

Producer Hui Ge said: "Achao has a profound foundation in classical music, but what is rare is that he does not limit himself by basic classical theories. Instead, he has a good grasp of the popular music market in melody creation. Sensitive, and his lyrics are direct and not roundabout. He uses a boy's point of view to describe emotions or stories around life but is very delicate and thought-provoking. I think this is a rare new male songwriter in recent years! ?

The filming of Ah Chao’s 4 music videos this time is full of topics and fun. One of the light songs in the EP [Little 50] describes the common people in Ah Chao’s childhood memories. Director Chen Yixian took great pains to find a 60-year-old hand-made noodle factory hidden in the alleys of Taipei City. When all the staff arrived at the noodle-making factory, they all exclaimed in surprise! After playing around in a scene similar to the Sanheyuan for a long time, the team started filming. At the same time as adding an overview, the team also found a child actor who was popular in major media at the time to perform the scenes of Ah Chao's childhood. 7-year-old Han Han fully demonstrated his lively and lively acting skills on the set, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Ah Chao! The filming process also added a lot of joy to the atmosphere of the set because of Han Han's childish and delicious innocence!

At the same time, the male protagonist of the first wave of MV to be exposed for the song "Do You Know Do You Know" was also invited to participate in the performance, Qiu Ze, an outstanding young man with both strength and idol whom he had not seen for a long time, to match the artistic conception of Ah Chao's song and the director. I believe the audience will be deeply impressed by the photographer's camera skills. 1. Good People

This good song moved countless netizens in 2006 and has been viewed more than 100,000 times. Let the song return

to its original touching and simple essence, abandoning the huge and gorgeous standard arrangement of the popular style, and let Achao's best piano play

throughout the entire song. Chao's sincere and firm voice and lyrics are unforgettable for a long time after listening to them!

2. Little 50

This is a song about Chao describing his childhood memories, composed by Wen Wen The sweet acoustic guitar opening, supplemented by the march of viola and turtledoves, fully conveys the real life portrayal of ordinary people around you and me, playful, sweet and full of happiness! Let people fully feel the simple beauty of music and human nature!

3. Do you understand?

Whether standing on tiptoes can make dreams fly further~~

The music arrangement uses piano and viola to shuttle interactively, Just like the hearts of boys and girls fly by scene by scene, all the good things and sadness that have ever happened are trying to bravely draw a break at this moment with proud blessings! However, the real fragility after turning around is there again Who knows!

4. Pangpang

This is a song that describes secret love or longing. The music box design that children love to twist is used at the beginning to bring out the artistic conception of the song. , trying to create a way to store the most profound memories in a music box. In the dead of night, you can play the music box and slowly release the memories you treasure in your heart!

The first album was released in 2009 Hello mini album! Mr. Achao

Listen to him singing

Singing the stubbornness and longing of an ordinary boy

There are also greetings that we could not express

< p>A fully composed album with six sincere works that you and I can rely on

Hello! Mr. Achauboy :)

Touching release on April 3

Hello! Today.

Hello! Superman Backpack and Invincible Helmet.

Hello! City.

Hello! A new you.

Hello! I am Achao.

After 11 months,

I learned to "reorganize" my life,

revise and upgrade my original self,

I cleaned the C slot of my heart,

pressed player and listened to the song being played,

I suddenly wanted to know...

Where did I live Every you in my heart,

How are you?

Maybe I have heard of this name, maybe I just heard his song on the radio on the way home one day,< /p>

Maybe... fate begins now!

Eleven months later, we finally met. A boy who is neither tall nor handsome, Ah Chao, always plays the piano

Always in his own way, singing about the dreams and longings that the city is about to turn around; singing about how the world has long since Indifferent happiness and loss, just like Ah Chao said: "Actually, I just write about myself! These songs contain my humor? Stubbornness? Dependence? Longing? Regrets and unspeakable greetings..."

When the first EP [Good Guy] was released, Chao was serving in the army, so the release of the film did not bring much change or impact on him at that time

. While Ah Chao continued to serve in the military, he did not slack off in pursuing his dreams and continued to write his compositions one by one.

Just after he was discharged from the army in September last year, the company began to arrange for Ah Chao to perform in some public places. Without any media promotion, there was not much exposure opportunity, but a phenomenon was often discovered. Every time after Ah Chao finished singing, several groups of people would silently walk up to Ah Chao one after another and say, "So you are Ah Chao! I like your songs very much. You seem to be writing mine." Story", "I've heard your song on the Internet before. It's really touching, but I never knew who sang it. I'm glad to know it's your song." "Ah Chao! You're so cute! I finally watched it. It’s your turn! Your song touched me”... We know that Ah Chao’s songs are spreading, touching the memories of many people in a non-noisy and unobtrusive way, and also in a way that the main body of music is unconventional. The mode of operation affects your and my hearing.

From graduating to joining the army to being discharged from the army, from a boy in people's words to a "Mr." in society, Ah Chao named himself Hello/Mr. Ah Chao in this album, which actually means "Mr. Ah Chao". A humorous and reverse thinking way to convey this year's life thoughts and emotional transformation and growth process, and to encourage myself with a self-talking greeting, just like A Chao said when completing the work : "The process of completing this album is like a journey for me, and the scenery along the way is witnessing the happiness and sadness, loss and expectations of an ordinary boy like me!" Ah Chao records his mood and expectations through creation. Growth, and at the same time, writing in music the years that you and I have had or will experience.

Before entering the production period, producer Mr. Zhou Shihui and A Chao had a lot of intensive communication and psychological construction.

I hope A Chao can complete all the arrangements independently this time. The main structure of the song is because no one knows what the music looks like better than himself, and he hopes to make all the songs more faithfully convey the spirit and appearance of the original creator.

With the company's ardent expectations and encouragement, Ah Chao went from doubting and hesitating at the beginning to being confident and practical after completing the step by step. He said seriously: "I know that my arrangement is not a professional master-level technique, or even In some places, it was carried out in a willful and childish way, but I was moved by it. It was a kind of primitive power that was like grass trying to break out of the ground, with vitality and not being blocked by the environment. ”

Hello/Mr. A Chao’s 6 songs are composed, arranged and sung with all his heart by A Chao. All the music foundations are based on the piano, which A Chao is best at, as the main structure, supplemented by viola and guitar as branches and leaves, and are delicate. The smooth melody of the song is paired with his lyrics full of realistic life tone. This is no longer just a musical work that is simply satisfying to listen to. The new generation director Chen Yixian (one of the directors of the Chinese film Love to the End) who attracted much media attention at the time After listening to the DEMO of Ah Chao's album, I was deeply moved. Scenes of the story kept pouring out in my mind. I even took the initiative to develop Ah Chao's music and the MV script shot for Ah Chao into what was then Among the short films exhibited at the Taipei Film Festival, I believe Ah Chao's music and stories will touch more people in 2009!
