this man is not calm

Chapter 89 Finalized
It's really not that Jin Shang is worrying about the sky!
Without the popularity of singing that has lasted for thousands of years, the songwriter is just a young man under 20 years old, and the singer is still a college student, so the starting point is much lower.

How to turn side dishes that don't go well together into a delicacy?
The risk of completely imitating the singing method of the two versions of the previous life is actually much greater than imagined.

For the same song, even if the lyrics and music are not changed, the gap between singing by different people may be greater than that between "Song of the Five Rings" and "Song of Peony".

Even if it is lucky to reproduce it vividly, it will not have the momentum of the latter.

Even if it is the same song by the same person, if you listen to it a few years later, it will give you a different feeling.

What's more, the world has changed, and the background of the times is also different. It is not enough to just imitate. We have to consider the current market trend.

"You see, different positions have different choices, so I'm a little uncertain."

After explaining in great detail, Jin Shang concluded,
"In the first two editions, I felt that there was a problem, but the bottom line was covered, so it wouldn't be too bad. In the last edition, there is a risk of hitting the street. Although it is not big, it cannot be ignored. Of course, the upper limit is also higher. The chance of a big fire is not small, and the chance of a human fire is relatively small. This... is actually a seesaw, and it depends on which direction to choose as the focus."

The best way is actually to compose the music again, but Jin Shang can't do it!

With that ability, who would be a "Wen Chao Gong"?
What is copied is what is copied. It is already the limit to think about the pros and cons of it a little bit, and make some small revisions to make it more suitable for the current objective conditions.

"Is there still an option?"

Mei Fengchun and Luo Yang looked at each other and smiled slightly. They didn't know how to persuade Jin Shang who had reached a dead end, but Zhang Qian, an outsider, was better at persuading him.

"Of course you choose the version you are most satisfied with?"

"Even if there is a risk of rushing to the street?"

"Even if nothing comes to nothing, you can't find a single wave, but you have to be true to your heart. Creating a new song is a very risky thing in itself, and it's no big deal if you fail. If you are particularly confident, change the timing and re-release it. Just one version..."

Zhang Qian spoke without any hesitation.

"For example, change to a male singer?"

These words made people feel a little bit suddenly enlightened.

Jin Shang also felt that Teresa and Faye sang well enough, but the song "Water Tune Getou When Will the Moon Come" can actually be better.

If you want to retain the advantages of your previous life, it is best to choose a female singer with a similar singing style; however, if you want to maximize the advantages of the lyrics, if you don't use a male singer, you have to fine-tune the singer's singing style.

"The melody is too soft, and I can't keep up with the lyrics of the song, which is full of majesty and grandeur. Therefore, I have to find a way to sing."

"This is the natural weakness of female singers, but..."

Luo Yang looked at Mei Fengchun calmly,
"I understand why you chose her..."

Benyin's voice is slightly lazy, soft, transparent, and ethereal, and there is a strong courage and strength hidden in the outer softness and inner rigidity.

This kind of trait is quite different from the requirements of mainstream female singers today. There are not many popular songs suitable for her to sing, but she is very suitable for singing in a mixed theater troupe.

"In the past, Xiao Jin advised me to go the way of women's rock and roll. I don't know where he got the confidence to assign me like that."

"Women... rock and roll?"

Luo Yang lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said with some approval,

"It's not wrong to say that it's just a matter of grabbing a gap in the market. It's just that the risk is very high, so you have to think carefully..."

Once successful, you can eat alone, you can't even find a competitor, and there are very few rock singers on the stage. It is more difficult to find a female rock singer accepted by the mainstream than an albino giant panda.

This is similar to a certain Wang surnamed singer in the previous life, who was poor at grabbing headlines, and his creative ability was average, but he was hardworking. He wrote a large number of songs, and he was full of content. masterpiece.

Coupled with the overall decline of Mandarin rock, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys dominate, so that he once occupied half of the industry.

In this world, in the domestic women's rock circle of this period, not to mention tigers, there are not even handsome monkeys. If Mei Fengchun can succeed, she will be an epoch-making "monster".

The prospect seems to be very bright, but of course the difficulty is also great. If not, someone would have gone through this road long ago.

Some things should be negotiated like this.

If you want to get into a dead end by yourself, you still need the persuasion of the people around you.

"The cleanliness, freshness, stubbornness, self-confidence and self-improvement in the female singer's tone, as well as softness on the outside and strength on the inside, are very special qualities. If you have it, you have it, if you don't, you don't have it. Temperament and growth experience are closely related. Singing skills and interpretation style are secondary..."

After making a decision, Jin Shang said to Mei Fengchun:

"It's decided, just use your last version of singing! The direction is the same, but your emotional investment is not enough..."

"I don't even know your creative background and ideas, so I can't bring emotions into it!"

Mei Fengchun complained with some confusion,

"You can't force others to make things difficult."

"After all, I'm not a devil, and I won't force you to do things you can't do."

Jin Shang said with certainty,

"The core content you want to convey to the audience is... the Mid-Autumn Festival in Yihai, drinking happily, getting drunk, and caring for relatives and friends. Do you know how a person will behave when he is drunk?"

The year of Yihai was [-], and I pointed out that this song is the Mid-Autumn Festival greetings, and it is a poem written after drinking too much, expressing emotions through the scenery, and at the same time missing relatives and friends far away.

"I've never drunk, let alone drunk, I don't know!"

Jin Shang patiently explained:

"You have to highlight the word 'crazy', but this does not mean arrogance, but the feeling of joy that is usually suppressed and violently released. When I was young, I was frivolous and innocent. I didn't believe that there was a wall; The gap between lyrics and music needs to be bridged..."

"Crazy but not arrogant, what should I do?"

"This is..."

Rubbing his chin, after thinking for a while, Jin Shang replied,
"Use the original tone as much as possible, reduce the false tone, and give full play to the subtle flexibility and indomitable feeling in your tone. This is God's reward. Without rhythm and volume, you will have a sense of strength that cannot be concealed. You are born to sing inspirational Good material for rock. Even if this song has nothing to do with rock at the moment, your tone is a great plus..."

This is a talent that belongs to Mei Fengchun alone, neither Teresa nor Faye has it...

"Fashion sense..."

After saying this word, everyone present finally found the sense of dissonance that had been lingering in their hearts.

I won’t go into too much detail about the style of the lyrics, and the composition also has a strong sense of age. Even if the arrangement has tried to downplay this feeling, there are some deep charms that cannot be changed.

Boss Zhang Qian also smiled with a little understanding:

"I said it feels a bit strange. This style of music was more popular ten years ago, and some people like it now, but...it's not seen much anymore."

The reality is so cruel, which is why Jin Shang dare not copy at will. People in the industry have eyes, can see, have ears, and can understand.

Writing "When will the bright moon come, ask the blue sky for wine" is barely reasonable. For an eight-year-old child, you said that the poem "toast to invite the bright moon, and the shadows will become three people" is your own creation, which will only make people laugh.

"Whether it's lyrics or music, its style is not the most popular nowadays, so, cousin, I have high hopes for your singing and timbre..."

"Then why are you still so arrogant? You used to talk about Ms. Mei and classmate Mei. When it was necessary, you changed your name and said that your cousin is getting close?"

"In my opinion, let's change to a male singer. A female voice sings toasts for the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's weird..."

"Don't, don't, I've worked hard for so long, and the whole family knows that I'm going to release a single. I even practiced my signature. You can't cheat on your cousin. I even changed your diaper when I was young, you You can't be ungrateful..."

"Nothing, don't talk nonsense."

Jin Shang curled his lips, his little cousin is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, once she takes the initiative, I don't know what will happen.

"Take a break and try again! Don't mess around, I think you have the talent for women's rock, but don't really make this song a rock."

"Got it, don't worry!"

Don't worry, if you don't stare, you really don't know what she will look like.

Tried singing intermittently until noon, ordered takeaway, and after lunch, Mei Fengchun, who was exhausted, went to the lounge to have a rest. Jin Shang, Luo Yang, and Boss Zhang drank too much tea, and they would not be sleepy for a while.

"Mr. Jin, you cousin, you are really a natural talent..."

Luo Yang said with emotion,
"As an artist, if you bend your waist for five buckets of rice and worry about three meals a day, how can you think about improving your skills? However, life is too comfortable, and there is no motivation to concentrate on creating! There are too many obstacles, not true love. Enthusiasm is enough, I really can't hold on..."

"She has been fast at everything since elementary school, but she has no patience, and she puts it down when she gets tired of playing. This time, I don't know how long I can hold on..."

It seems to continue to go on, but Jin Shang can't guarantee whether Mei Fengchun will really develop on this road.

Being able to withstand the pressure of the family and persevere for so many years, this time I will not give up halfway!

After drinking a few cups of wolfberry tea, the oldest Zhang Qian leaned lazily on the recliner and said leisurely:
"Xiao Jin, he has a really high grasp of the delicate emotions and popularity of music. If he takes a professional path, his future will be limitless."

"Because you are young, you have an advantage!"

Jin Shang did not respond directly, but asked with a smile,
"Boss Zhang, does brother Luo think that my request is a bit problematic? I always use a very subjective and abstract feeling to make opinions..."

"What is this?"

The well-informed Luo Yang spread his hands and said helplessly,
"What I'm most afraid of is the half-understood party A, with deep-rooted prejudices, who don't think they are wrong, and the demands they make make people's bones sour."

"For example, colorful black, radiant white, or colorful green?"

"This kind is not bad! It can be said, no matter how weird it is, there is a way to think about it. The key is that many customers who decide on it don't know what they want at all. Don't be afraid of tricks, just be afraid of changing orders..."

"Then I really can be regarded as a very conscientious Party A?"

Luo Yang who gave two thumbs up smiled and replied:

"If everyone is as worry-free as President Xiao Jin, our business will not be so difficult."

No matter which world or industry you are in, those who do product design, creative development, and cultural products are most afraid of a half-knowledgeable cheating Party A.

Like Jin Shang, the main framework has been finalized, but those who require more details and styles are already quite popular partners.

Boss Zhang Qian added with a smile:
"After working for so many years, I have seen more than one case where record companies and singers commissioned creations, only one step away from recording albums, and then fired the creators and started again. Arrangers, singers, and producers quarreled at the recording site , and even fights happened more than once. It is obvious that the work has been completed, but suddenly said no, asked what was wrong, and couldn't explain why, Party B has a good temper if he doesn't get hammered. "

"I thought those were all false rumors!"

"There's nothing wrong with it! Playing music and engaging in art is all about talent and passion. It's impossible to expect to have a good temper, so..."

Boss Zhang Qian shrugged his shoulders and said no more, everything was kept silent.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the audition began again.

With a clear direction and standards, it will be much smoother.

Mei Fengchun's comprehension ability is indeed very good. After several adjustments, it is obviously a bit like Jin Shang's imagination.

It wasn't until nearly five o'clock in the afternoon that I was almost busy.

With a slightly looser standard, Mei Fengchun's singing has barely met the standard, and the minor flaws can be dealt with by the tuner.

Because there is no rush, there is no need to release the single too early.

There are still more than two months before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so there is plenty of time.

Tonight's "Oriental Night Talk" weekend special edition will be broadcast. This wave of enthusiasm needs to be grasped. There are also college entrance examinations that will start in four days, as well as the No. 20 and 21 Beijing high school entrance exams. They are all good topics.

Before the end, Jin Shang said to Mei Fengchun, Luo Yang and others:

"I won't push it anymore, the recording will start next Sunday, NO.15 will be released, it will be stuck between the college entrance examination and the high school entrance examination, it will be warmed up for nearly a month, and then I will be on stage as the assistant vocalist of Dai Yiqin's concert..."

"Do you want to perform live?"

After all, it's just a rookie singer who hasn't made his debut yet, performing in front of tens of thousands of people, it's still a bit timid after all.

"Rock...is not something that can be made famous by sound engineers in a recording studio. It should be performed in public. A singer who has never held a concert is a fart."

When you perform on stage and sing, if you have some real skills, it will be exposed.

"The big singer in the recording studio, this is too ugly to say."

"Don't care if it's hard or not. If you want to take this path, you should try to overcome some difficulties that can be overcome. There is no harm in making preparations in advance."

Jin Shang said decisively,
"If it really becomes popular, become a public figure, pay attention to your image, and if there are some inconvenient things, you can ask an assistant to deal with it..."
