this man is not calm

Chapter 118
While the few people outside were still discussing many things about the concert, in the recording studio, Fang Hua and Mei Fengchun were adjusting the equipment, while curiously looking at many musical instruments that were different from those in school.

"To be honest, many of our Yangyin's top instruments are no worse than this, and even more expensive. It's just..."

After Fang Hua sorted out his words, he commented carefully,
"I don't know why, but it's not as easy as these..."

"Teaching and commercial use are still a bit different. You... have to adapt more. In the future, if we become famous and make a lot of money, we can buy a villa with a music room and arrange it according to our own ideas."

"You haven't even started yet, and you're just thinking about what will happen after you make a lot of money. You're really in a hurry."

After trying the slightly dusty guzheng and pipa, and playing the xun, gourd silk and ocarina, I nodded with satisfaction,
"They are all good things. Unfortunately, traditional folk music is declining now, and fewer people use it."

There are still many people who like it, but there are fewer people who learn it. Young people who follow the trend prefer pop music with a stronger sense of rhythm and expressiveness.

"Tradition and fashion are not completely opposite. If you can unify the two and let the market accept it, that would be great."

"It's not easy!"

Half teasing, half encouraging to Mei Fengchun, Fang Hua muttered,
"In the unpopular field, either it will become a classic, or it will be so cold that there will not be a single one. The market capacity is too small. Unlike pop music, which is of the same level, you can get enough food and clothing. A small fire depends on praise, and a big fire depends on fate..."

There is no small fire in traditional folk music, there are only two kinds of self-motivation and big fire. Before the development of the Internet, there was no stage for social short videos in the niche field to show its charm, and it was difficult to show its beauty to ordinary people.

"If there is a celebrity who is already popular and willing to stand on the platform and help promote it, it will save a lot of effort."

"Then I'm counting on Xiao Chunchun to lead me away after he becomes a big star!"

When the two were chatting and laughing, Jin Shang, Dai Yiqin and others came over after they had almost finished talking about important matters.

Jin Shang glanced at Mei Fengchun and Fang Hua who were talking and laughing, and asked naturally:

"Are you ready? Finish recording the song as soon as possible, so that the next work can be done. There are quite a lot of things to do!"

"no problem!"

Mei Fengchun made a reassuring gesture and answered confidently.

From this afternoon to evening, one of the most important tasks is to record "When Will the Moon Come?" It has been almost two months since the planning. In order to achieve the best results, Jin Shang also considered for a long time and made several choices Only today.

Next, Luo Yang took over the work in the recording studio. Fang Hua followed curiously, wanting to see how the commercial recording works. Mei Fengchun adjusted his state and let himself relax a little.

Dai Yiqin, Jin Shang and others drank tea and chatted on the small tea table beside them.

"Xiaojin, I think this song is actually quite difficult. If you want to meet your requirements, the quality of the singer is very important. Moreover, you must understand the true meaning that you want to convey between the words and the music. If not, it is easy to go astray. "

"Yes! If you are not careful, it will become a model of showing skills, a soft romance or a decadent sound. The song itself becomes a skin, and the inside is filled with the singer's vocals and timbre. It is pale and has no appeal."

"Then how do you judge that Xiaomei can handle it perfectly and meet your requirements?"

"Who can say for sure?"

Jin Shang shrugged and replied casually,

"I just know her personality. It's easy to change, but her nature is hard to change. From a very young age, she has a strong sense of competitiveness. Can you imagine, a little girl who can't compare with boys in terms of peeing distance, even finds it unacceptable. Girls, would you be willing to compare the field you are good at, with your little cousin who was suppressed since childhood, or a layman?"

Competitiveness is one of the greatest sources of motivation for a person's progress.

Mei Fengchun is the kind of person who either doesn't do it or does it and does it the best.

"You are really good at calling people!"

Hearing this, Dai Yiqin chuckled a few times and said,
"It's no wonder that at a young age, you can become a big boss and do big business. You really have a good grasp of people's hearts. You also have a deep understanding of music, a form of emotional communication that goes beyond words."

"People... always think that they are very rational and reasonable creatures, but in fact, no matter men or women, they are all very emotional. As long as they encounter something that can touch their heartstrings, they will easily get excited. Music... is a kind of Some are vague and ambiguous, but they can guide emotional judgments."

The so-called pop music is the "greatest common denominator" that is most acceptable to fans. The serious and elegant classical music, after being secularized, is what it is now.

In the old days, Wang Xietang, Qianyan, flew into the homes of ordinary people!
The appreciation level of the general public is so high, and the current form of the music circle is the most suitable situation after years of trial and adjustment.

"Then... do you think there will be a problem with the concert featuring old songs from the past?"

"There is no way. The release time of the new album is too short, and it is not popular enough. Instead, some old songs can evoke memories and resonate with fans."

With a straw in his hand, Jin Shang, who was drinking fruit juice and sizzling, said with some embarrassment,

"Let Luo Yang and Zhang Qian think of ways to arrange the music on the spot to make it a little more shocking. Of course, this will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. It can only fool the audience."

"It's my fault too..."

Dai Yiqin couldn't help but smiled wryly,
"I used to follow the route of campus folk songs and love song princes, with a mediocre foundation. I didn't sing well in my early years, and I didn't dare to sing on stage. When my level improved, my reputation collapsed."

"There are quite a few male stars who are getting older and more bewitching. In contrast, female stars are beyond their golden age. Brother Dai still has a long way to go. In fact, this concert is a bit hasty. ..."

"Embrace the money while it's hot, it's normal..."

This point, Dai Yiqin understands and agrees with it very much.

It is not easy to get the money you have earned without striking while the iron is hot. It is not easy to win such a good opportunity later.

Chatting with each other, Jin Shang was still careless at first, glanced at the list of potential sponsors that Jin Shang brought over inadvertently, suddenly his heart moved, subconsciously:
"Brother Dai, don't you want to sing a new song? At the concert... it's inappropriate, too anxious, a little risky."

Singing a new song that no one knows in front of tens of thousands of people, with Dai Yiqin in full swing, fans will definitely buy it, whether it is suitable or not, only God knows.

Holding a concert with great fanfare is not only for raising money, but also for raising Dai Yiqin's reputation to a higher level, so that all sponsors can see his influence, and take advantage of the trend to increase the cost of business activities.

"I know that too, but it's hard to calm down!"

Jin Shang, who smiled lightly, came back to his senses, and said to Dai Yiqin who was a bit unwilling,

"Your mentality is probably because you want to give back to the fans and prove yourself! It seems that the influence of the past on you is still difficult to completely eliminate..."

"It's so easy to say it's just passing by!"

Dai Yiqin said with a wry smile,

"Xiaojin, I won't hide it from you! Back then, I was submissive, afraid of offending people, and even shrank to the point of no return. I felt quite ashamed. I feel a little sorry for the fans and friends who have always supported me. Also, your sister-in-law these years, I have suffered a lot with me, and I feel a little bit sorry. Don’t watch me sing "A Man Should Be Self-improvement" and "First Dream" on stage, sometimes I dream about it at midnight, and I feel ashamed and flustered."

Nan Dabiao, who had been listening to the two chatting, raised his head.

"I used to be young and had no one to support you. It's normal for you to fight alone and fail to achieve anything. After all, people are highly social creatures, and they naturally have the instinct to form gangs and eliminate dissidents. You... were born early Ten years, otherwise it wouldn't be so difficult!"

"When I was young, I was arrogant and arrogant, thinking that I could do everything by myself. Not only was I unlucky, but I also implicated some friends, so it was embarrassing."

Nan Dabiao, the most popular artist under his banner and a good friend who has a good personal relationship, also understands Dai Yiqin's current mood very well, and said to Jin Shang with a smack of his mouth:

"Ah Shang, if you really have any good works, let Xiaodai try it, so as not to make him feel troubled. He didn't forget to hurry up to write lyrics and compose music when he was running outside to make announcements. He slept soundly in the middle of the night, and suddenly he was inspired and said to memorize it. Come down. I’m afraid that in a few years, I won’t make enough money and I’ll be bald.”

"How can it be so exaggerated!"

Dai Yiqin laughed a few times in embarrassment, but didn't care about Nan Dabiao's teasing.

In the early years, he was proud and arrogant, and he also had some mediocre lyrics and music composition. Although the quality was average, the basics were still passable, and he was not a layman who knew nothing.

"Now, I am very envious of Xiao Jin's talent. If you have any ideas, you can find a way to express them with melody and rhythm. I do have ideas now, that is... boil dumplings in a teapot, but they can't be poured out!"

Jin Shang smiled knowingly, took out the MD Walkman from his bag, took out a disc with the word "rock" marked with a marker, and handed it to Dai Yiqin together.

"There are a few songs in it, listen to them, which ones you think are good..."

"it is good!"

Dai Yiqin, whose face relaxed a lot, took the machine, put on the earphones, and pressed the play button.

"A rock with a strong folk style, this song..."

Dai Yiqin looked at the song catalog, it was called "Perseverance", and he remembered it deeply.

Immediately afterwards, the second song was called "Once Upon a Time", which was a very typical pop rock. After hearing the prelude and the first few lines, Dai Yiqin knew that this song would definitely be popular.

After arousing interest, the third song, the passionate "I Believe", made Dai Yiqin want to unbutton, roll up his sleeves, and sing loudly;

The fourth and fifth songs are "Life in Bloom" and "Brave Heart" respectively. They are obviously very powerful songs and rhythms, but Dai Yiqin's eager heart is a little calmer.

"It's a strange feeling! Xiao Jin can clearly write very good and pure rock, but he likes to mix many different elements, which brings people a bright feeling."

When it came to the sixth track, the more hard-core "No Place to Shame", Dai Yiqin was speechless.

After listening to the seventh "The Name of the Rose", Dai Yiqin, who was already so shocked, simply turned off the MD player.

"Why, don't continue?"

"If I continue to listen to it, I will lose the courage to choose songs among them."

The front is okay, it is still within the scope of understanding, what is behind?
Treble and low pitch, true and false notes, the switching is so smooth and smooth, it is simply impossible for normal people to sing.

Especially the last song "The Name of the Rose" is so avant-garde, let alone 20, it will not be outdated in another ten or twenty years.

"I didn't hear any traces of tuning in it. It's incredible! Anyway, I can't sing. This is not something that can be achieved only by hard work. You have to be rewarded by God. Xiao Jin, you don't mix music, it's a bit It's a pity. Going to learn music theory and practice your voice will have a better future than me."

Naturally, Jin Shang couldn't explain to outsiders that a man with the blessing of "Golden Finger" is indeed far superior to ordinary people in terms of learning ability and skill mastering speed.

Pioneering feats are difficult, ready-made skills and knowledge, as long as you are willing to spend time and energy, not to mention that it is easy to grasp, the difficulty is much lower than imagined.

Persisting in hobbies for many years, the accumulation of accumulation is one aspect, and the double blessing of "traveler" knowledge and "golden finger" is the guarantee of rapid development of ability.

However, then again, there are not many classic rocks with a win-win reputation and sales in previous lives. The root cause is that the emotions that creators and performers want to express may not resonate with fans. Some overly professional expressions And showing off skills, fans may not buy it.

In addition, it must conform to the current fashion trend, and don't go against the general trend.Both Jin Shang and Dai Yiqin felt that "The Name of the Rose" might be a model of avant-garde rock, but the market might not buy it. If it really released an album based on its title song, it would probably rush.Other songs that are more catchy have a significantly higher probability of becoming popular.

Everyone spends money chasing stars, buying albums and watching concerts. In the final analysis, they still want to listen to good songs and interact with like-minded people.There may not be so many who pay for idols' "playing" music with real money.

These days, the "brainless fans" who chase stars without brains are not the mainstream.

"So...Brother Dai, which one do you want to choose?"

After hesitating for a while, Dai Yiqin made up his mind:
"Just the first song..."Perseverance"! It feels good!"

"I thought...you would choose "Braveheart" or "Place to Shame", "Once Upon a Time in You" and "I Believe" would be fine too!"

"For your sister-in-law, for my family, it can be considered willful!"

In essence, the song "Perseverance" is a person who is in depression and low ebb. Under the care and care of his loved ones, he forced a smile on his face, silently licked his wounds behind his back, never changed his original intention, remained enthusiastic, and never gave up his hope of getting out of the difficult period. , Even after repeated blows, we must persist in our tenacity to the end.

From the state of mind, it is quite suitable for Dai Yiqin.

"Do you want to release the single disc first, to warm up?"

"No, just sing it at the concert and use it as the first publicity! I have confidence in myself, in the fans, and in this song!"
