this man is not calm

Chapter 119 Choose what everyone likes

No matter what the final choice is, the two key points to consider are money and fame.

The former is a pocket-safe profit, and the latter is a long-term meal ticket, which cannot be ignored.

A successful concert will be of great benefit to the individuals present and to the company's image.

"By the way, Ashan, I heard that you plan to form a band with Xiaomei, what is your plan?"

Several people were talking, when Nan Dabiao suddenly asked, Jin Shang answered calmly,
"For the time being, it's an amateur group. We don't have time for business operations..."

"No time, it doesn't mean there is no room for manipulation. You can hire a team of private brokers to help you take care of it."

"Let's outsource directly. First use the 'one plus one' entrustment method. After two years, they will also graduate, and it will not be too late to think about the future."

"Alright! You talk to Xiaomei, and if you agree, call me."

This choice is due to the fact that Jin Shang is too lazy to deal with trivial matters, and Mei Fengchun probably is too lazy to worry about it. They subcontract the proceeds and collect the money directly. The operator is responsible for its own profits and losses.

By doing this, saving trouble is the second priority. I also believe that Nan Dabiao will not cheat Jin Shang and Mei Fengchun. They are all acquaintances and family friends who can't look up and down. No one will make such an idea until they have no choice. .

After putting away the MD Walkman and disc that Dai Yiqin had returned, Jin Shang looked at the progress of the recording and stood up:
"I'll go check it out, it's pretty fast!"

"Go, go, there are still a lot of things to do today, so you have to hurry up."

Nan Dabiao once again buried himself in a large list of sponsors and quotations, weighing the pros and cons of all parties, while Dai Yiqin was recalling the songs just now, especially the song "Perseverance", how to sing on stage will have a better effect. good.

Jin Shang walked up to Luo Yang calmly, watching him keep correcting Mei Fengchun's pronunciation.

As far as talent is concerned, Luo Yang still has some, but he is not outstanding, but his most attractive advantage is that he works hard enough and is diligent enough.

Jin Shang did not expect Luo Yang to become a gold medal producer, but when he was a deputy, his solid foundation and rich experience did save the creator a lot of effort.

With Luo Yang's ability, if he wants to be the leader alone, he still needs to practice for a few years, but now, his ability is obviously enough.

After an aria ended, Mei Fengchun stopped to rest for a while, Fang Hua handed his little friend a glass of water to moisten his throat, and it was only at this time that Luo Yang realized that Jin Shang was by his side.

"President Xiao Jin..."

"how is the situation?"

"It's much better than I imagined. It's worthy of being a talented woman of Yangyin. Some barriers have been easily solved, and the pressure of post-production will be much less."

"That's good!"

Jin Shang moved a small stool for himself and sat aside, watching Luo Yang skillfully manipulate various equipment,
"After procrastinating for so long, it is natural to make it perfect, and the rest will take longer..."

"'Farewell' and 'Duplicity'?"

Luo Yang didn't stop moving his hands, and he still persuaded with some worry,

"It's all recorded in one breath, will you be a little anxious?"

"Don't worry, the arrangement is very mature, and the songs are already well-known. It's more troublesome to prepare warm-up electronic music and background music for the concert. I asked Mei Fengchun to ask the teacher of Yangyin to invite them to appear. You need to make an appointment in advance. Said, the key is that it’s summer vacation now, and everyone can’t get together.”

"Okay! We can only find a way to synthesize it in private, and we don't know what the effect will be..."

It is naturally best to form a serious symphony orchestra to perform in a music hall, but if it is not possible, it can be used to perform separately with various instruments and then synthesized with equipment.

With the development of electronic information technology and its penetration into all walks of life, the high-tech equipment in the music circle has also been updated rapidly, and the methods of actually producing music works have also improved.

Not long after, Mei Fengchun resumed recording, and after getting used to it, the speed increased significantly. Judging from the performance, this little cousin's sense of pitch is quite good, and her rhythm is also in place.

The only thing that frowns a little is her ability to perform on the spot, which is quite immature.

Twenty minutes later, when the recording was over, Zhang Qian and Luo Yang were still checking. Jin Shang stepped forward and said to Mei Fengchun:

"Next month's concert, if you are going to be on stage as a guest vocalist, you're going to be like this? It's too cramped, it's still in the recording studio, surrounded by acquaintances, and it looks like they can't let go..."

"Nervous! The first official recording, Teacher Luo and Boss Zhang are so strict."

"Come out with a bit of 'female man' vigor. Now that's the case, how can you be expected to sing in front of tens of thousands of people? When the time comes, the cheers like a tsunami will make you weak in fear?"

"Who's legs are weak?"

Mei Fengchun retorted somewhat unconvinced,
"It's normal to have no experience for the first time!"

"It's not a problem in this area. I think you are a little socially afraid, right?"

"Social terror?"

"Social phobia, not being good at it, not adapting, not liking publicity, and even rejecting dealing with strangers. This is a personality tendency, which is different from autism and depression, because of various The reason is that I can't cope with the things on the scene."

"How could you have such an illusion?"

Jin Shang replied seriously:
"You may not have noticed that when you sing, you are always subconsciously avoiding other people's eyes. In front of the camera, you will subconsciously avoid the camera. Although you are dancing with the rhythm in small steps, with your hips on your hips, your shoulders shrugged, and your head shaking, you are There are not many times when your face is facing the audience. Although your profile is very beautiful, but..."

After thinking about it for a while, he didn't know how to say it accurately, without making the other party angry, Jin Shang was also very troubled.

I couldn't find a suitable wording, so I had to give up the reasoning.

"Anyway, you're obviously a little bit unwilling, but you're still patiently pretending to keep up with the beat. In fact, it's a different kind of taste. It's real and not pretentious. In other words, it's pretentious and real, which is very interesting."

"Are you making fun of me?"

Mei Fengchun's expression changed, and he gave Jin Shang a very unconvinced look.
"It's not that you're on the stage, so you can naturally stand and talk without back pain, so you can do it?"

"It doesn't mean that!"

Jin Shang quickly waved his hand,
"What I want to say is that girls form a band and play rock and roll. The clean and refreshing feeling is also very good. There is no need for maverick words and deeds to show yourself."

Smoky makeup, afro hair, fancy dress, foul language, all kinds of monsters and ghosts, all kinds of demons dancing wildly, it's just an act of surprise, a superficial article that goes astray, the song is not good, the performance is too much, everything is useless.

The fans are not stupid, they pretend to be cool and really cool, you can tell!

For example, Mei Fengchun, the eldest sister next door, has a youthful and beautiful demeanor, which is a little more down-to-earth, but more popular.

The real thing is precious!
"Maybe my previous words misled you, so that you have the illusion that your future fan group is rock lovers..."

"Isn't it?"

"narrow!"

Jin Shang pointed out sharply,

"My young master spends hundreds of millions of dollars every minute. How can I have time to take care of the preferences of those niche groups? From the beginning, I was aiming at popular idols to attract more fans from passers-by. These people don't like girl rock and don't like it. Girl bands? No, they still like it, they just look down on those cats and dogs in the market now. What you have to do is to fill this huge gap in the market..."

"Your tone, people who don't know, really think that the domestic music scene is now in your hands. Are you so sure that you can make me popular?"

"If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't have played this in the first place."

At this time, Luo Yang made a pass gesture, and Jin Shang and Mei Fengchun, who were chatting with sparks, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"ended!"

"It's me! You go and get familiar with the rhythm of "Day One", change your mood, and record the accompaniment later!"

"Let me see if your real ability is as capable as your mouth."

Not paying attention to his little cousin's provocation at all, Jin Shang waved to Fang Hua.

"I'll take care of the guitar and flute, and you'll be in charge of the violin, harmonica and piano. I heard that you are versatile and capable. Let everyone see..."

"Don't worry! By the way, the red envelope should be thicker."

"Do you think I look like a stingy person? Be good, add money..."

"Young Master Jin, be bold!"

I have to say that Fang Hua's slightly fleshy fingers are indeed very flexible. Whether it is the piano or the violin, she can play the piano or the violin at a good level, and she is also very skilled at playing the harmonica.

With this ability, Luo Yang, who was in charge of the recording, was relieved.

Jin Shang tried the flute, and it felt good. Although he didn't practice a lot, the song "Farewell" was mainly composed of piano and guitar, supplemented by violin, and the others were just for embellishment.

No problem!

For Jin Shang, who is more and more proficient in playing the guitar while holding the guitar, the recording of "Farewell", which is relatively simple, went very smoothly.

In just forty minutes, it was over.

So fast, in addition to the melody and singing are not difficult, there is also the reason why Fang Hua and Jin Shang really have some real skills.

During the break, Jin Shang took a few sips of warm tea and boasted to Mei Fengchun:
"Have you met?"

"Rather than saying that you sing well, it is better to say that you are excellent in composition and lyrics!"

Mei Fengchun commented pertinently.

It can't be said that she has a mentality of sour grapes. The biggest highlight of the song "Farewell" is indeed not the singer herself, but the sincerity in the lyrics and music is the biggest selling point.

"You are right! Take a good look at the next song "Duplicity", that kind of heart is full of bright and dark tides, and you want to spit it out, but you hesitate to speak, the words don't convey the meaning, and you pretend to be calm The appearance of our little Mazar band, in the future, it will not be like a volcanic eruption, but a trickle of hot spring water. It seems that it is not passionate enough, but it can warm people's hearts and make the audience feel refreshed. Cool……"

"Volcanic magma and hot springs?"

"Yes! You are a professional, and there are some truths. I don't need to explain in detail, but I should understand! Ordinary fans may not have such advanced knowledge and appreciation of music theory, but they can still feel the atmosphere created by the lyrics and the emotions expressed by the singer. Just For example, the song "When Will the Bright Moon Come" that you sang before finally has a bit of "Hao Hao is like Feng Xu riding the wind, but he doesn't know where it stops; fluttering like the independent world, becoming immortal and ascending to immortals" It feels like, 'Give the wine to the guest, recite the poem of the bright moon, and sing the chapter of the graceful and graceful', this is your unique tone, which bridges the gap between words and music, and creates a work of art..."

Most listeners may not know the level of artistic achievement, but they know whether it sounds good, whether the singer is perfunctory, and whether the lyrics and music are works of conscience.Don't underestimate this insignificant cognitive change. For a singer in front of the stage, it may determine the height he can achieve in the future.

In his previous life, Jin Shang had seen a lot of big stars who made money without caring about their looks after they became famous. It was already considered a face-saving thing to be scolded as "the best of their talents". Don't laymen understand, and people in the industry don't understand?

Whether the actors are dedicated to their acting skills, whether the singers are immersed in their singing voices, whether the players are playing football with all their strength, you can't fool the discerning people at all.

Fans may not know that much, but it doesn't mean they are stupid!
If the work is not good and the performance is not good, I just vote with my feet.

"I see, the next song, let me see how far amateur singers can go."

"Ok!"

Jin Shang moved his stiff shoulders and said implicitly,

"This song "Duplicity", measured by the standards of popular pop songs, is a bit demeaning to say that it is second-rate, and it is not meaningful to say that it is first-rate. Moreover, it obviously bears the traces of a game between business and art..."

Mei Fengchun interrupted without losing the opportunity to add:

"It seems to me that art is losing out to business, and that's your choice."

Shrugging nonchalantly, Jin Shang replied calmly:

"I'm just a layman. What art pursuits are we talking about? 'Playing' music and having a private get-together with three or two friends, isn't it good? You've heard "The Name of the Rose" and you chose art, that's what it looks like. Do you think it will sell well?"

"I don't know if it will be a big hit, but there must be many real music lovers like me who are after it."

"Then what? Are there so many so-called 'classic songs' that have been applauded by many film and television dramas, and which are regarded as classics by music critics, but are discarded by ordinary people like shoes? Are there not enough so-called 'classic songs'? They can't even stand the test of the market. Still want to stand the test of time? There are too few good works that are really born out of time, and become popular after many years. Moreover, I don't have the time to wait for word of mouth to ferment."

Mei Fengchun who heard the words was silent for a while, and then responded with some unwillingness:
"It's right for you not to choose this path, because in your heart, you don't have the feeling of dedication to art at all. God is really not open, it's too wasteful to put talent on people like you."

"Do you blame me?"

Not far away, Fang Hua had already adjusted the instrument.

If "Farewell" is simple, the arrangement of "Duplicity" is much more complicated, not to mention drums, piano, guitar, bass, etc., and tambourine, violin, viola, cello, and saxophone are also assisted. , accordion, trombone and a whole lot more.
