Music or doing Vlog is Ouyang Nana's expression and recording method, and it is her enjoyment of the "play". At the age of 20, she hopes that she can try more things she wants to do, no matter how others judge, no matter what the outcome, those are irreplaceable records of the moment. The happiness and satisfaction of this moment is the most important thing, isn't it?
"Play" = Process takes precedence over result
After completing the first and second parts of the "Nana Trilogy", Ouyang Nana invited three long-desired musicians to "play" together to become the last one.
Chen Qizhen is a singer that Ouyang Nana "very, very" likes, "her songs and her words have an important influence on me in both the growth process and creative exploration"; Chen Rene's songs are the most commonly heard by Ouyang Nana when she was in School in Boston, "The most impressive thing is "Wonderful Ability Song", the words and melodies are very simple, but what I yearn for is this simple way, there is more room for imagination"; Xu Zhepei is the person that Ouyang Nana wants to contact when she has the idea of making an album - suddenly, They changed from voices in the playlist to figurative people. "When I saw them in person, I understood why they could write so many good songs, and the reason why creators can become creators is because they are very sensitive to feelings and expressions of emotions."
"It's about wanting to collaborate on a song that expresses who they imagine me to be." Other than that, Nana didn't make any other requests. For creators, a broad direction sometimes makes them helpless, and crucifying the details is a one-time success, but the cooperation between Ouyang Nana and the three musicians is exceptionally smooth. Xu Zhepei gave Ouyang Nana several songs to choose, Ouyang Nana chose "Girl", Chen Qizhen first made a demo of "You Just Made Me Cry", Ouyang Nana felt "very 'Chen Qizhen'" when she heard it, so there was no hesitation. However, Chen Rei did not expect that Nana would choose "The Wave of No Name" from several songs, "because she couldn't imagine what it was like for me to sing this song."
When the two meet, Chen Rei finds that Nana sings this song with a completely different feeling from the demo. "It's the most natural way to sing, whether it's the whole music or the singing method, I have more confidence." Ouyang Nana felt that "Girl" was the most difficult of the three songs, the words and melodies of the whole song were not repeated, and it was biased towards the expression of the musical, and the singing voice and rhythm took time, so it was recorded for two days. "Teacher Xu Zhepei demanded me very strictly in a very gentle way."

Chen Qizhen was the only one who cooperated with Ouyang Nana from a distance, coupled with the "idol aura" for many years, Nana couldn't help but be a little nervous, "but it was very smooth with it, and Teacher Chen was also encouraging, and she knew very clearly what she wanted." Chen Grain served as a producer for the first time, from the identity of the singer to the past, Ouyang Nana also experienced a kind of freshness: "She is more in a singer's point of view to help me sing, when recording the arrangement has been very complete, shun to the third time she said, no problem." ”
In Ouyang Nana's view, there is no distance between the "cellist" and the "singer". "Sound is also an instrument, it's just that it's in your body, so people naturally see it as part of the self." Singing requires skill and practice, as well as a more accurate grasp of the voice. "Now I know my own voice better than I did two or three years ago, and I know where the different tones and resonances are. More importantly, know what style your voice fits into during the creative process. ”
These creations were certainly part of the work, but they were some sort of experimentation by hers. "It can also be said to be 'playing' music." The word "play" can be understood as a playful attitude, or it can be understood as an attempt to value process over result. "Music is really 'playing' out, and if you don't enjoy it, then the creation itself is not good." Music certainly has thresholds, but it also lies in the requirements and definitions of each person. "If you want to be a professional performer, you have to spend a lot of thought and time practicing, but you can also relax a little and just find yourself enjoying yourself."

"Play" = seize the moment
"Each song is unique, it seems to be a combination of pieces of puzzles, so whether I come to work with someone depends on the current situation, whether I want to meet a spark with someone or talk to myself, that is the difference between solo and ensemble." 」 Playing 'music' is not necessarily played by one person, different producers will bring different styles, even if I sing it, it will feel different. Music depends on details, from the position of a drum to the processing of a timbre, which can bring about a different feeling. ”
Nana felt that it was better to go forward according to the judgment of the "present" or even intuition, and try as much as possible under the premise of doing what she could. "I have a lot of curiosity, whether it's eating, playing, or so on, I'm willing to try something new." But to be honest, I am not a person who can jump out of the safe zone, and I am more rational and hope to do what I want to do first. ”
She is not the kind of person who expresses excessive desire, and some thoughts are just passed in her mind, not necessarily recorded, let alone shared. She knows the harshness of the public opinion environment, and sometimes others will even skip the causes and consequences of things and throw in nonsensical harsh criticism, but she will still keep suggesting to herself that she is not afraid to do something. "If you can't change others, you really can only change yourself." If you are constantly influenced by other people's ideas, you will not dare to try anything. ”

At the age of 20, what framework is needed? Its exuberance and vividness are originally accompanied by recklessness and simplicity. Ouyang Nana has always remembered the story of a teacher who recorded an album of Bach a cappella in his 30s, and many people in the music circle scoffed at this. But he said, if I don't record it when I'm 30, when should I record it? 30 years old has a 30 year old voice, even if I practice more skillfully at 50 years old, it is also a record of 50 years old. ”
15-year-old Ouyang Nana released her first cello album, although the recordings were mostly skits rather than large concertos, but it belonged to the unique tone of that age.
There is no point in life that can be regarded as "perfect", even if you will risk a few times to hit the south wall, you should be fearless to move forward. "Geminis make 'happy' an important part of their lives. One of the debates I watched "Strange Story" at that time was that the most important thing in life was not to be happy and happy, and I must stand on the right side. Do everything with pleasure, otherwise I won't find a reason to do it. ”

"Play" = Enjoy
Nana once tried paragliding while recording a variety show. "They made me the first on and really understood my character. I would definitely be afraid if I were put on the last one, but the first one, since it was all there, could only be ignored. It felt different in the air than she had imagined, feeling a lot like her favorite Disney project, Crossing the Horizon. "It's a real flight over the horizon, not like the static display in Disney."
The variety show allowed her to experience many things that could only be imagined before, such as opening a flower shop in Florence or a clothing store in Chengdu, and also allowed her to see some of her limits. The previous experience of hiking in Gongga Mountain, Sichuan, made her still think about it a little afraid: the whole time of altitude sickness, she was dizzy to the point of vomiting every day, and she could only take painkillers to carry it.
"Those six days were entirely by willpower. The film crew also arranged a medical team, as long as they told me that there was no problem with the indicators of heart rate and blood pressure, I would stick to it, and if it wasn't really a physical problem, I would definitely finish it. ”
She had cried hard. "It's not psychological pressure, it's pure physically unbearable." The weather is bad, I have no experience carrying those backpacks, I may not have the right clothes and shoes, I am eating things that restore calories every day... Therefore, I can't enjoy the beautiful scenery in the mountains, so I can only concentrate on the stones under my feet and which one I want to step on so as not to fall. ”
It also reinforces her conviction that no matter what meaning an event is given, the key is whether she can truly enjoy the process of it. Initially, Vlogs were just made for "fun", but after posting them regularly for a while, she found that it became a small lesson for her and a small goal, "very fulfilling".
Many people's evaluation of Vlog is nothing more than "which sub-work is this", but she feels that if she really accumulates 100 issues, it is a work that can be proud. "It's not that it's great or how powerful it is, it's that it makes a lot of sense to me. It was done with my heart, energy and time with the team, it wasn't that easy to do, and I was happy. ”
The Vlog looks like a trivial record, but it is a rare memorial between the white colts. "I sometimes joke that ten or twenty years from now, if my kids see this, they will know that their mother dragged seven or eight boxes to school, and went to see victoria's secret shows on the weekends... No matter what kind of mood it was at that time, when you look back, you will feel that your life is so wonderful. The pace of life is too fast, you will forget how happy you were, and you will forget that you actually had a wonderful life, and these things can be woken up. ”
She's not good at fiddling with electronic devices, from mobile phones to cameras, but still hopes to improve from planning to shooting skills. "After I get used to shooting, I feel sorry to stop, so I always feel that I should write something down." Including the post-editing and scoring, it was done little by little, and I was always looking forward to seeing the results and seeing myself once again a small experiment become a small work. ”
It's also a way to tease out and record the multitude of jumping ideas. Are people still in the mood to care about other people's lives? In other words, what took so much time and energy to make, no one cared and cared about, will there be a sense of loss? Nana didn't think it mattered.
She debuted to the public very early and understood early on that she could not meet the reality of everyone's expectations. "I also didn't prove my ambition to everyone, selfishly, the most important thing in doing anything now is to satisfy myself." 」 At work, she asks herself to be careful in her words and deeds, "at least to play the role model that a public figure should be", but in her creation, she allows herself to show more authentic emotions, even if it is an occasional "mourning" and a low, some private sadness.
"So this thing can heal me." I didn't expect anything at first to say that others would watch it, mainly to keep a memory of myself. Everyone has a way of recording their lives, and some people prefer to use words, and I use music and Vlog. Mentally and spiritually it makes me feel very comfortable. ”

"Playing" = actively thinking, actively doing
Last year, Ouyang Nana made a small determination to work harder and live harder. Almost halfway through the year, she spent more time creating and recharging than ever before, rather than just being held by the schedule. "It's about finding a better way to balance."
One of the reasons she set a schedule for herself was because she knew she had severe procrastination and would "procrastinate if she could." "But one of the interesting things about music is that your ideas may be different at every point in time. Sometimes I push myself, especially trying to finish a song quickly, but most of the time I need someone to remind me of the time problem. Man, there are always times when you want to be lazy. ”
Sometimes she would comfort herself optimistically, at least with the idea of "self-discipline". "I just hope I think I have to do it." She felt it was important to stay in a positive state. "If I blame myself for being lazy or not being self-disciplined, it's all negative stuff, and I'll encourage myself, at least I'm thinking about it, and the odds of execution will be at least higher." 」
If you can't rely on yourself completely, then you can also rely on external forces. "For example, I often forget things, I take the initiative to ask people around me to remind me, this is also a way." For example, I don't like to return to WeChat, so I at least keep the message 'unread' state, because my obsessive-compulsive disorder will force me to read it slowly. I mean, if you don't do well or can't do it, you can always find some way to improve it, at least make yourself a little better every day than the day before. ”

She also has many dissatisfaction with herself, such as "can't control her mouth, can't open her legs" and so on. "But people should influence themselves head-on, constantly suggesting to themselves that the world has the potential to be changed."
As long as time permits or opportunities come, there are many things she wants to try. "Sometimes people around me and even myself worry, is it not enough to concentrate on things, or not enough to work hard? But my idea at this stage is to seize every opportunity to do what I want to do. "Her fearlessness lies in the fact that her definition of success is simple." Instead of pandering to and satisfying other people's ideas, why not satisfy your own with one-time attempt? Many people think that success is about getting as many people as possible to recognize themselves, but that's not my goal. ”
If everyone can understand the "success" in their hearts, accept their own ideas in the moment, and adapt to the changes brought about by time and environment, perhaps everything will be easier. "Some people will feel that having a happy family is success, and some people will feel that eating and drinking well every day is success. You don't have a mission to change other people, or maybe something I dismiss now will have a completely different view of it by the time you're 25. Anything is possible, and I accept myself at every stage. ”
