The King of Crossover Entertainment.

Chapter 380 0380, Over and Over Again

The success of a music, media company or music studio is reflected in the type of singers it brings out and the type of songs it releases.

Chen Cheng's experience in the previous company has dulled his edge and smoothed out many of his edges. It's not that he no longer has expectations for what he had before, but everything has not only taught him to face things calmly, but also made him gradually become mature and stable.

What I want to do now is to help Yunfeng manage the Yun Tang Music Studio.

He has been following the debut of Yunfeng, Fenglin Road No. 52 Band, Feng Zhe, and the albums of Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei after they joined the band.

Early this morning, when I was about to go find Yunfeng and Fengzhe to discuss something, the two of them came to my house together.

"You've come just in time." After Chen Cheng asked them to sit down, he got straight to the point: "The songs for Feng Zhe's debut EP are all ready. Huihui wrote two and we received three."

Feng Zhe pinched his thigh and it hurt, which meant he was not dreaming.

Are you officially entering the entertainment industry?

His mood at the moment was quite complicated, with a hint of excitement, a hint of anticipation, and a hint of worry.

Yunfeng chuckled and said, "Brother Chen, when did you start using 'nicknames'?"

pet name?

what?
Chen Cheng was startled at first, then suddenly realized, his old face flushed, and he forced himself to be serious and said: "Let's talk about business."

Apparently, the matter between him and Tan Hui had already been decided, so Yun Feng did not ask any more questions. He let him do what he wanted and brought the topic back to business, saying, "Brother Chen, put the songs you have aside for now. When you have ten songs together for Feng Zhe's album, use the song I wrote as the debut single."

As he spoke, he unlocked the tablet and handed it over, on which were the lyrics and music score of "A Man Should Be Self-reliant".

Chen Cheng went through the lyrics, looked up at Yunfeng, took a deep breath, and said, "The lyrics of this song are so well written, they are soul-stirring, full of masculinity, majestic and magnificent, showing the broad mind, amazing courage and iron-willed pride of a good man, which matches Feng Zhe's voice very well."

Feng Zhe's singing style is just right with both strength and softness, flavor and connotation. If it is compared to a dish, it is both tasty and nutritious.

Comparing this with some of the pretentious, whining voices and singing styles in today's music scene, you will realize how precious this temperament is and how rare such a voice is.

Besides, he is only twenty-one years old and has a lot of room for growth.

Yunfeng turned to Fengzhe and said, "This song has two versions, Mandarin and Cantonese. I will teach you the Cantonese version, and we will perform both versions together."

Feng Zhe nodded and said, "Okay."

He usually learns to sing Cantonese songs, namely Yun Feng's "I Like You", "It's Better Not to Meet" and "No More Hesitation".

That kind of sound can be produced, but without anyone to teach it, it's not very standard. But now with Yunfeng's help, it shouldn't be a problem to learn a song well.

Chen Cheng asked: "When do you want Feng Zhe to release this song and make his debut?"

Yunfeng replied: "January 1st."

Chen Cheng seemed to understand something and said, "Do you still want him to compete in the new song popularity chart next year?"

Yunfeng nodded.

Chen Cheng pondered and said, "Huaxia Panda Group has acquired Azure Entertainment and Xingyu Music, so it is natural that they will let go and impact the new song popularity list next year. Moreover, under the threat of the leading position in the entertainment industry, Penguin Group will definitely increase its efforts to compete for the new song popularity list next year."

What he meant was that when competing with singers like He Qian, Zhou Ruilin, and Yang An who have both talent and popularity, Feng Zhe's chances of winning are very slim.

Yunfeng knew this, but time waits for no one, so he had to fight hard. Besides, they were not without a chance, so he said, "On January 1st, I will release a new comic, and the song 'A Man Should Be Self-reliant' will be the theme song. In addition, the movie 'The Dart Man' will be released on the same day, and the song 'True Hero' will be released simultaneously. The heat and popularity brought by these two linkages will offset some of the pressure from other singers."

Chen Cheng pondered his words for a moment, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he said, "We can give it a try."

"Pressure is motivation. Only those who go against the current can show their heroic qualities." Yunfeng smiled and said, "I have great confidence in Feng Zhe."

Think about it, didn’t he also fight his way out among the gods? Life is unpredictable, how can you know you will lose if you don’t try hard.

Feng Zhe had no objection to this decision.

After a week of study and familiarity, the recording of the song "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" began.

Generally speaking, in addition to going to the recording studio for formal recording sessions, singers also have to undergo "studio training" on a regular basis.

Different from ordinary vocal course training, ordinary vocal courses focus on solving problems of pronunciation and singing skills, teaching you how to make sounds and how to release the sound, while grinding shed training focuses on training singing skills and emotional expression.

Whether it is unfamiliarity with the environment or unawareness of certain singing problems, it may lead to adverse consequences such as unsatisfactory recording products. Therefore, if you want to develop into a professional-level singer, studio training is an essential step.

Feng Zhe has regular training sessions every week, and his singing skills have improved a lot.

"Pride faces the waves, and passion is like the red sunlight..."

Outside the recording room were Yunfeng, Chen Cheng, Tan Hui, and Ji Yubei.

Their job today is to find out the shortcomings in Feng Zhe's singing and provide suggestions for improvement.

Yunfeng's singing skills are only one step away from reaching the [Pinnacle of Mastery] level. Although it is unknown when he can take this step, it is more than enough for him to guide Feng Zhe.

Chen Cheng and Tan Hui have both participated in the recording of songs for many singers in their previous companies, and have considerable experience and abilities.

Needless to say, Ji Yubei was a recording engineer.

The first round is over.

In the recording studio, Feng Zhe took off his monitoring headphones.

however.

What greeted him was silence from everyone.

His mood suddenly became uneasy. Was it because he sang so badly?

I was confused, but didn't speak out in a hurry.

Among these people, Yunfeng has the most say, after all, he has heard the version of the song "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" sung by George Lam and Jackie Chan.

how to say.

George Lam's singing skills are top-notch in the entire Chinese pop music industry. During his peak period, he was a rare singer who was good at low, medium and high notes. In terms of technique and style, he could perfectly interpret extremely affectionate, tender, passionate and heroic songs. In addition to his masculine and real high notes created by his strong breath, explosive power and unique catapulting pronunciation, his singing method with emotion and his skillful use of weak voice and falsetto techniques enable him to sing with a warm tone in the middle and low range.

and.

Feng Zhe and George Lam are not of the same kind.

His voice is forward, with more nasal resonance, and is unrestrained and vigorous. In terms of the flow between words, he is not as delicate and thorough as George Lam. His strength is opening and closing, and switching between hardness and softness.

Therefore, he should play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses when singing.

So, how do we make the best use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses?
After a moment of silence, Yunfeng spoke first, "Feng Zhe, you have fallen into a misunderstanding. If you only want to be passionate and enthusiastic, anyone with a loud voice can sing it. How can this song be admired?"

Feng Zhe listened carefully.

Yunfeng continued, "After every splash and vigor, there should be a gentle and tender feeling. For example, if there is the strong and exciting "Let the sea and sky gather energy for me, to create the world, to pursue my ideals", then the next sentence "Looking at the vast blue sky and the majestic spirit, a man should be self-reliant" can it be more gentle and tortuous?"

This example made Chen Cheng, Tan Hui and Ji Yubei, who felt that there was something wrong with Feng Zhe's singing but couldn't find the problem, suddenly realize it.

Feng Zhe blinked and fell into thought.

Yunfeng continued, "Also, your pronunciation is relatively forward, so the breath is very particular. For example, the three words 'Reopening the Frontier' in 'Resun Red Sunlight', the breath should be exhaled in a rhythmic manner. You can try the catapult style."

I’m not saying you have to be exactly like George Lam, but some singing techniques can be learned.

Feng Zhe nodded and said, "Okay."

Chen Cheng, Tan Hui, and Ji Yubei admired Yunfeng very much. Feng Zhe's problem was that he had to have a backhand after launching, which was equivalent to hitting out with 10 points of force, but leaving 20 points of force in himself, just like aged fine wine, which tasted mild but had a mellow aftertaste.

After several times, there are changes, but they are not perfect enough. In order to protect my voice, I can only stop here today.

the next day.

Day three.

Fourth day.

……

For seven consecutive days, Yunfeng's requirements were not met.

Feng Zhe had no complaints about recording over and over again, because he knew that the song "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" was not simply sung for debut, but was intended to be a hit and establish his fame.

Besides, this is his job and what he is supposed to do.

After discussion, Yunfeng asked Chen Cheng to take Feng Zhe to shoot the MV first.

If it doesn't work, then take a break and change your mood and state before trying again.

Today, Tang Yu saw that Yunfeng was tired after several days, so she took the initiative to cook early in the morning, saying - I'll give you some nourishment.

There were three dishes and one soup, two of which were big dishes, and it was very sumptuous.

"Try it quickly." Tang Yu said expectantly.

"Hmm..." Yunfeng tasted a dish and nodded exaggeratedly. Finally, he took a sip of the soup and said, "It's delicious, absolutely amazing!"

Tang Yu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Be more objective."

Yunfeng smiled and said, "Absolutely objective."

Tang Yu tasted it himself and found it tasted really good. It was a huge improvement compared to the previous dishes where each dish had different saltiness, rawness, and doneness. He smiled and said, "It's good."

"When does the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal start?" Yunfeng asked while eating.

"It was mid-January, and because I was a soloist, the rehearsal was postponed." Tang Yu received an invitation from the program team of next year's Spring Festival Gala to perform "Love and Sorrow," the song she won in the National Piano Competition. This is also the first time that a solo piano program will appear in the Spring Festival Gala.

Yunfeng sighed, "Looks like we'll have to spend the New Year in Yanjing."

Tang Yu thought about it and said, "It's okay for me to go alone."

Yunfeng blurted out: "How can that be possible?"

Tang Yu pondered and said, "How about, after the show, we take the earliest flight back?"

Yunfeng nodded and said, "That's fine."

After finishing their meal and clearing away the dishes, the two went to the sofa to rest.

Tang Yu picked up the tablet, checked the time, and said, "Just in time."

Yunfeng took a quick glance and saw that she was refreshing the Youxianqi FM website, as if waiting for the release of "The Legend of Tianpeng" at twelve o'clock. He immediately said, "Why don't you just ask me for the manuscript?"

Tang Yu smiled lightly and said, "It's quite interesting to watch the plot and the comments at the same time."

She has been traveling all over the country for activities in the past few months and has no time to try out "The Legend of Tianpeng" first, so she just read it with her readers.

Yunfeng smiled and said, "That's true."

People like Wang Defa no longer read his novels and comics in advance because the fun of interaction is missing.

----

"First!"

"I'm coming!"

"Get tissues ready!"

"Victims please!"

"Brother Pig is in trouble!"

……

The barrage instantly filled the screen.

Compared to the fans' excitement, Duan Jian Can Feng had a serious expression on his face.

He snorted, closed the barrage, and opened the main text.

[“Young man, be careful when you are alone in this wilderness. It would be terrible if you are caught by the spellcaster.”

"You'd better go back early and stop hanging around outside."

……

Chu Wenliang was a scholar who went to Beijing to take an imperial examination. Seeing that it was going to rain, he looked for a place to take shelter. In front of a village, he ran into a few pig-like monsters that could speak human language. He asked fearfully, "Are you humans or monsters?"

One of the monsters snorted, "What kind of person or monster are you? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Don't we all look the same?"

"Ah?" Upon hearing this, Chu Wenliang immediately took out a bronze mirror from his bookcase. Who would have thought that he would also turn into a pig's head.

I found out after some communication.

It turned out that these people were under a curse. As long as they set foot in this place, they would grow long noses and fan-shaped ears, their bodies would be covered with bristles in three days, they would have a big belly in ten days, their hands and feet would turn into pig's trotters in thirty days, and on the forty-ninth day they would look like pigs.

...]

Another magical plot change.

Seeing this, Duan Jian Can Feng knew that this village was Gao Lao Zhuang, and these people who turned into pigs must be related to Tian Peng.

He came to see it in order to understand the quality of his opponent's new work.

In order to seek a way to rescue himself, Chu Wenliang had no choice but to go into the village. After asking around, he became more and more desperate.

The entire Fuling Mountain is cursed. It is useless to hide anywhere because you cannot leave the Fuling Mountain. As long as you walk to the edge, it will be like encountering a ghost wall, and you will return to the original place unknowingly.

This place is called Wangyue Villa. The reason for such a gentle name, in addition to the Wangyue Temple on the top of the distant mountain, the most important reason is that after turning into pigs at night, only by bathing in the moonlight can they avoid feeling helpless and desperate.

Suddenly, a group of spell masters attacked, pointing swords at the villagers, and forcing them to tell the whereabouts of Tianpeng.

Chu Wenliang was puzzled. Who was this Tianpeng? Why did the spell master look for him? Could it be related to the pig transformation?
gradually.

From the conversation, it was vaguely revealed that these so-called talisman masters seemed to be gods who were punished by the heaven to go down to the mortal world.

...]

Unlike the previous film "The Legend of Yang Jian", the story does not start with a cruel ending right from the beginning.

The writing style of gradually revealing the simple and confusing plot from the perspective of others is very attractive even though the protagonist does not appear.

Broken Sword and Broken Blade has to admit that Yunfeng is very good and knows how to capture the hearts of readers.
