The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 438: Canon in D Major

"Sister Shan, I still can't hear anything." Chen Sichu said helplessly after listening to Lin Shuwen play it twice.

"Chu Chu, I'll sign you up for a music appreciation class! You don't have to pay for it, I'll use the company's account." After saying that, Sister Shan got up and left.

She was afraid that if she stayed with Chen Sichu for a while longer, she would not be able to resist opening Chen Sichu's skull to see what was inside.

On the other hand, Luo Ming asked his secretary Li Yan to find the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra.

By the way, Luo Ming has collaborated with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra many times, first on "As Wish", then on "Seven Miles of Fragrance" on the singer's stage, and also on "Free Flying" at last year's New Year's Eve concert.

When it came to the piano-free version of "Canon in D Major", the first band that Luo Ming thought of was theirs.

After three previous collaborations, Luo Ming was very impressed with the level of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra. As one of the country's leading hall-of-fame orchestras, they are truly very talented.

The Shanghai Symphony Orchestra was also very willing to cooperate with Luo Ming, because the previous three collaborations had brought considerable benefits to the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra.

Not to mention other things, the attendance rate of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra's concerts used to be around 40% to 60%. There were only a handful of concerts with an attendance rate above 60%. In most cases, so many people could only come when there were some events.

But after performing these three pieces with Luo Ming, tickets for the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra's concerts have become hard to come by.

So when Luo Ming's secretary Li Yan came to talk about new collaboration, everyone in the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra took it very seriously.

Li Yan played Lin Shuwen's performance of "Canon in D Major" for everyone in the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, and then raised Luo Ming's request to make an ensemble version without a piano.

That is the original version of "Canon in D Major" in the previous life.

After some discussion, the musicians of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra reached a unanimous opinion that it was an honor for the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra to perform "Canon in D Major".

The musicians of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra expressed their gratitude to Luo Ming.

Then I started practicing.

Before we knew it, it was April 4th and the Qingming Festival holiday had just ended. This week, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen did not wear each other's clothes.

It just so happened that Lin Shuwen felt that she had mastered "Canon in D Major" to perfection, so Lin Shuwen told Sister Shan that she wanted to record this piano piece.

Upon hearing this, Sister Shan put aside her preparations for Lin Shuwen's album and went to the recording studio immediately.

When Old Huang saw Sister Shan coming over, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "A Shan, why are you here too?"

"I have to come to the recording of this song."

"Ah? Is this song special?"

"You will know after listening to it."

After listening to Sister Shan's words, Old Huang also became interested.

At this time, Lin Shuwen in the recording studio had adjusted her state. She had been practicing this piece of music for almost a month. The recording went particularly smoothly. After playing it once, Lin Shuwen did not play it a second time because there was no need.

But Old Huang outside the recording room was stunned.

Lao Huang is the head of the music department of Huayue Entertainment. He has written many songs over the years, but this is the first time he has heard such a charming melody as "Canon in D Major".

"Ashan, who wrote this song?" Old Huang asked after swallowing.

"It's Mr. Takiba."

In Huayue Entertainment, Sister Shan calls Luo Ming "Teacher Takiye" to everyone except Lin Shuwen and Chen Sichu.

"Shh~ This young man is really amazing! I think this piano piece will be remembered forever."

"Yes! Teacher Takiba is a true genius!" After saying that, Sister Shan walked into the recording studio.

"Sister Shan, how do you feel?" Lin Shuwen asked with a smile when she saw Sister Shan come in.

"You played it perfectly. Better than you ever practiced before."

"That's great. Now we just have to wait for the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra to finish recording the piano-free version so we can release it together."

"By the way, why did Luo Ming insist on making a piano-free version?" Sister Shan asked curiously.

“His explanation to me was that the piece was supposed to be played without piano from the beginning.”

"Forehead"

“It’s a weird statement, isn’t it?”

Sister Shan nodded.

"I find it strange, too, but he is the creator of this song, so he has the final say on how to record it."

"That's right, that's enough! The recording of 'Canon in D Major' has been completed, and now we should focus on releasing the album. Wenwen, what are your plans for promotion this time? Are you going to appear on a variety show or..."

"Warm up on Weibo and Penguin Music, buy some press releases, and then just release the songs one by one! Release all ten songs, and then sell the physical album." "The quality of this album is indeed worthy of promotion in this way, but releasing all of them like this may affect the album sales." Sister Shan reminded.

"It doesn't matter. Even if there is some impact, it should be no problem to sell 100 million copies!"

Seeing that Lin Shuwen was so confident, Sister Shan didn't say anything more.

Two days later, the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra also completed the recording of the piano-free version of "Canon in D Major".

Luo Ming asked Li Yan to contact Penguin Music and have "Canon in D Major" online this Saturday.

So on Friday, Penguin Music began promoting "Canon in D Major".

Originally, Penguin Music wanted Luo Ming to release these two songs next week, but Luo Ming directly refused because "Canon in D Major" is too classic and there is no need for any of these extra things.

"Canon in D Major" is definitely an example of good wine needing no bush.

The next day, which was Saturday, "Canon in D Major" was officially launched on Penguin Music.

Due to the short promotion time, many people actually don’t know that “Canon in D Major” is online.

But Penguin Music was very considerate and gave it a strong recommendation on the homepage. As soon as users open Penguin Music, they can see the large promotional banner on the homepage.

"Canon in D Major?" Qi Suling was slightly stunned when she saw the promotional banner hanging on the homepage of Penguin Music.

Qi Suling is now the boss lady of Starlight Entertainment, but she has not retired yet. The main reason is that Starlight Entertainment does not have a female singer who can replace her, and she is still needed to support the company's reputation.

Last week, a TV series produced by Star Entertainment was launched, and the theme song of this TV series was sung by Qi Suling.

The TV series has a viewership rating of 1.8%, and the scores on several rating websites are all above 7 points. According to this trend, there is a chance that the TV series will reach a viewership rating of 2% by the time it ends.

Starlight Entertainment is not very good at filming TV dramas, and everyone in the company is very happy to achieve this result.

The theme song sung by Qi Suling is even more popular than the TV series, and has now topped the Penguin Music weekly chart for two consecutive weeks.

In the March monthly list, after competing with a number of excellent music works from Spring Festival movies, it ranked third.

It is still ranked first in the monthly ranking for April.

This song can be said to be Qi Suling's most popular song in recent years, so Qi Suling has recently frequently opened Penguin Music to pay attention to the status of this song.

But today, when she opened Penguin Music, she saw the promotion of "Canon in D Major", which made Qi Suling feel a sense of crisis.

In the past two years, with the continuous growth of Penguin Music, the market of other music apps has shrunk little by little, forcing singers to cooperate with Penguin Music, and the main battlefield for the competition of works has also been placed on Penguin Music.

After Qi Suling collaborated with Penguin Music several times, she basically figured out Penguin's recommendation rules for music works.

Normally, on a popular music platform like Penguin Music, such precious promotional spots are definitely reserved for popular songs.

That’s why Qi Suling thought: This is a song with a very strange name.

Qi Suling is not a traffic star. As a long-established queen, Qi Suling has been learning vocal music since she was a child. After entering the entertainment industry, she has successively learned common instruments such as piano, violin, cello, and drums. Qi Suling has dabbled in all of them to some extent.

Others may not know what Canon is, but how could she, who has learned so many musical instruments and been involved in music for so many years, not know?

It is precisely because of this knowledge that Qi Suling feels that it is strange to give a pop song such a name.

However, although it is strange, such names do exist, but "Canon in D Major" is a little more confusing.

With some curiosity, Qi Suling clicked on the banner and found that there were two versions of "Canon in D Major" promoted by Penguin Music, one of which was specially marked as piano version, and the other had no markings.

Qi Suling subconsciously glanced at the singer, then her pupils shrank slightly and her expression became more serious.

Because the two names following these two versions are Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and Lin Shuwen.

Qi Suling looked at the three words "Lin Shuwen" under the piano version, and couldn't help but think of the singer, when Lin Shuwen, with the help of Luo Ming, was killing it all.

From beginning to end, she only beat Lin Shuwen once, and that time Lin Shuwen herself didn't want to win, so she sang a Cantonese song.

"It's Lin Shuwen again! Can't she release the song a few days later?" Qi Suling muttered softly, and then her right hand uncontrollably clicked on the piano version.

After the page jumped over, Qi Suling's breathing stagnated, because Qi Suling saw in the music information that this "Canon in D Major" was actually instrumental music.

"Purple music! Isn't it pop songs? What is Penguin Music doing?" Qi Suling muttered to herself, then hurriedly took out her headphones.

Instrumental music is different from general pop songs. You can better appreciate the charm of the music by wearing headphones.

Get ready to put on your headphones and listen carefully to "Canon in D Major".

Qi Suling was really curious about what kind of music could make Penguin Music promote it with a banner on its homepage.

Or is it simply because the performer of this instrumental music is Lin Shuwen, and Penguin Music did this to give face to Zhuoguang Technology.
