Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 87: Progress You should find a way to regress six years!
To be honest, Zhou Hao was not very willing to pay attention to Chen Li.

Not to mention the disgusting things she had done, the boxer buff alone was enough to make him stay away from her.

But she happened to bring up "Nirvana in Fire" again, making people a little unsure of her intentions.

If it was her own wish, then just go away and do what you need to do. But if it was that thief Cao's wish... it would be inappropriate to confront him head-on. I don't have the confidence to do so for now.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Guo Chen suddenly came over and held his shoulders, "Let's go, let's go. Old Liu is such a stingy guy, it's rare for him to pluck a feather, so we can't leave any one behind."

Brother, you are really my brother!
Zhou Hao looked at Chen Li helplessly, "Look, the director is treating me, so I can't just ignore his face, right?"
Definitely next time!
Chen Li finally couldn't hold it anymore and stared at Guo Chen with a sullen face, looking like she was about to get angry.

But Guo Chen didn't even look at her, and pulled Zhou Hao out.

After walking out of the set, Guo Chen's face suddenly darkened, "Zhou Hao, don't blame me for not warning you, stay away from this woman, you can't beat her."

"I didn't plan to play with her." Zhou Hao said innocently, "She said she wanted to buy the copyright of Nirvana in Fire. I was unsure about the situation and didn't dare to act rashly."

Guo Chen thought about it and immediately understood what he meant.

"You are usually quite smart, why do you act so stupid at the critical moment?" Guo Chen said unhappily, "You are not a self-employed person. If he wants to negotiate copyright, let him go to your company!"

Zhou Hao scratched his head and said, yes.

How could I forget this?
The copyright of "Day and Night Chase" is just an exception. According to the normal process, if "Nirvana in Fire" wants to sell the copyright, it has to go through Miaobi.

If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, just pass the buck!
Patting his forehead, he caught up with Guo Chen in two or three steps and asked, "Which hotel did Director Liu book?"

"No, you really believe it?" Guo Chen was speechless, "I told you that you are a stingy person, how could you possibly plunder? Dream on!"

This……

Well, even though I didn’t get to enjoy the feast, I at least learned one thing through this incident – ​​Lao Guo is a person worth making friends with.

After a simple buffet, I returned to my room and started working overtime.

After the crew started work, his time suddenly became tight, and he could only squeeze out four or five hours a day to write and compile manuscripts.

Fortunately, his typing speed has improved now and it is barely enough.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the task of 12,000 words was successfully completed.

After stretching his body, he turned on the backup machine out of habit.

As expected, there was more news about Xu Lingyue.

"Mr. Zhou, I just recorded a song. Can you give me some advice? The password is the last six digits of my phone number."

Below is an encrypted compressed package. After downloading and decompressing it, you will get an audio file.

As soon as he saw the name, he couldn't hold back.

"Flowers Like Fog", it has a literary and artistic flavor at first glance!

After putting on headphones and listening to the prelude, my brows unconsciously furrowed.

One word, chaos.

The producer obviously wanted to mix in some non-instrumental elements to enrich the diversity of the arrangement.

It's not that it's impossible to play this way. Once you get good at it, it's easy to become a god. For example, the three arrangers appointed by Jay Chou next door were like gods in the early and middle stages, and they were very good at using various non-instrumental elements.

The sound of the wind in the prelude of "Seven Miles of Fragrance", the table tennis in "Class 2, Grade 3", etc. are all classic representatives, and the culmination of all is "In the Name of the Father".

The sound of typewriters, gunshots, prayers, opera arias... a bunch of elements are perfectly integrated together, and the prelude alone is full of visuals.

But if the arranging skills cannot support this gameplay, the result will only be messy.

Obviously, the arrangement of this song is a bit high-minded but low-achieving.

Compared to the previous Lu Junfeng, he is indeed a little less interesting.

The style is still the familiar folk fusion of light rock, but after the change of arrangement, it tastes stranger than before.

After listening to it three times, he couldn't help it anymore.

“Are all the songs you bought of this quality?”

"That's about right." Xu Lingyue replied, "After listening, can you give me some advice?"

Zhou Hao rolled up his sleeves. He had been holding back some words for a long time!
…………

In the bedroom of an apartment in Mingzhu City.

Xu Lingyue stared at the screen of her mobile phone nervously, waiting for the reply from the other end of Fetion. "I am a straightforward person, I will say what I want to say, right?"

Xu Lingyue's heart skipped a beat. "It's okay. Just tell me what you mean."

Teacher Zhou: "To put it politely, it doesn't sound good; to put it bluntly, it's just a pile of shit!"

Seeing this reply, Xu Lingyue's hands trembled.

Although she guessed that the evaluation would not be very good, the yellow poop in the chat box still made her cheeks hot.

"Actually, there are some things I've wanted to tell you for a long time."

"I listened to all your albums. There is a huge gap between the first three and the last three. The quality of the first three is very high. With "Blowing Dreams Back to Xizhou" as the dividing line, the quality of the latter ones has been declining."

“As for the most recent album, to be honest, it’s a bit unlistenable.”

Xu Lingyue typed a bunch of words, but deleted them all in the end.

"So I haven't started writing songs for the past year. I'm a little confused now and don't know what the problem is."

Teacher Zhou: "People who are involved are often confused. My personal opinion is that you have been out of touch with life for too long."

Xu Lingyue directly sent a confused emoticon.

"Your early songs all have a strong flavor of life, a flower by the roadside, an ant on the ground, a rainbow after the rain, a dish made by your grandmother... these trivial details of life can all become part of your music creation."

"These ubiquitous elements of life are very down-to-earth, and coupled with the clean and simple arrangement and your vocal conditions, they together created the early glory."

"But in the following songs, this clean atmosphere of life began to gradually disappear, your lyrics began to lose their fireworks, and your arrangements began to become more and more complicated. Maybe you are pursuing a diversified transformation, but you have lost the foundation on which you rely for survival."

"In my opinion, your voice is actually the best characteristic instrument. There is no need to make those fancy changes to cater to the market. You are missing the point."

“I don’t know what exactly caused you to change, but the songs you sing are becoming more and more empty and flashy, like bubbles that burst with a poke.”

Xu Lingyue stared at these words with a dull look in her eyes.

In the past two years, she has repeatedly reviewed her problems and consulted seniors and peers in the industry, but these exchanges have always remained at the technical level.

Some people say that her music style is monotonous, some people say that her singing skills are still flawed, and some people say that her ideas for writing songs and composing music are a bit outdated...

The solution is to advise her to improve her abilities, make continuous progress and make breakthroughs.

The fundamental reason for the creative bottleneck over the past year or so is actually the confusion in my thinking.

She wanted to work hard to improve herself, but she didn't know in which direction to go.

But now, Teacher Zhou’s opinion is completely the opposite - you should regress to the level you were at six years ago!

Moreover, his analysis angle has never been mentioned by others.

After being in a daze for a long time, she took out the old album on the bookshelf and looked back at the plain contents in the lyrics book. Then she turned to the new album from last year and looked at the ethereal lyrics...

What on earth am I writing?
What I hated the most in the past were those crappy songs that complained without any reason. When did I start to become the person I hate the most?

After thanking him listlessly, she turned and called Zhang Hong.

"What's the matter, auntie? It's almost twelve o'clock!" Zhang Hong's voice sounded a little irritable.

"Sister Hong." Xu Lingyue said in a muffled voice: "Can my new album be cancelled... or postponed?"

"What the hell is wrong with you in the middle of the night?" Zhang Hong said anxiously, "We've already started recording, and you're telling me you want to cancel it?"

"I'm not happy with these songs, and I kind of know where my problem lies..."

"My dear aunt, please forgive me!" Zhang Hong interrupted directly: "You are no longer the same as before. You don't have much capital to be willful!"

"According to the contract with East Star Records, you have to release a new album every year. It's already September. If you keep procrastinating, you'll be sued for breach of contract!"

“But I’m really not satisfied with the quality of these songs.”

"That's better than handing in a blank paper and breaking the contract, right? The entertainment industry today isn't afraid of you making bad movies or singing bad songs, they're just afraid of you having no sense of presence! No matter if it's good or bad, just try to maintain your presence and exposure, and think about the rest later!"

Finally, Xu Lingyue failed to convince Zhang Hong and hung up the phone in despair.

After holding her forehead in silence for a long time, she sighed heavily.

"Why didn't you meet him earlier?"
