The cross-border king of entertainment

Chapter 253 0253, the show is on!

After Yunfeng came back from his morning exercise, he just opened the door to enter the dormitory, when Xiao Tianpeng got up from the bed and said, "I'm about to call you."

Seeing his nervous expression, Yunfeng asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Tianpeng immediately said: "Yesterday when we were playing at the viewing area of ​​the Binjiang shoreline, we were secretly photographed by the paparazzi."

Yunfeng smiled and said: "You and Mengwei are big stars now, isn't it normal for paparazzi to secretly take pictures?"

Xiao Tianpeng smiled wryly, and said, "This joke is not funny at all, what kind of big stars are we?"

As he spoke, he came to his senses and said, "Don't interrupt, what I mean is that the "Qilixiang" you sang yesterday was photographed and posted online."

Yunfeng said indifferently: "Just let it go."

Xiao Tianpeng hurriedly said, "Brother, "Qilixiang" is a song you haven't released yet. If it spreads online like this, it will affect sales."

Yunfeng thought for a while, and said, "It shouldn't have a big impact."

Xiao Tianpeng said anxiously: "Whether it's big or not, it will have an impact. You should quickly issue a statement to get those videos off the shelves quickly, or send a lawyer's letter."

Yunfeng felt that it was similar to the situation when he used the song "Like You" to confess to Tang Yu at the Vienna restaurant in Pengcheng last time and was filmed and posted a video on station B. Alright, I'll go record the song at noon."

If it is a candid shot, it is at the seaside, with the sound of waves and sea wind, the radio is definitely not very good, plus yesterday it was just guitar accompaniment + a cappella, the quality of the song is greatly reduced, and the impact on sales is almost negligible Excluding.

Xiao Tianpeng likes the song "Qilixiang" very much, and thinks that it will be a big hit, so when he saw this candid video when browsing Bilibili and Weibo, he was so anxious. Now that he calms down and thinks about it, he really has a little reaction Excessive.

Yunfeng knew that he was reminding him out of good intentions, so he smiled at him and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Xiao Tianpeng yawned, waved his hand at him, and said, "It's only 08:30, I'll go back to sleep." After speaking, he fell asleep.

Yunfeng took a shower first, and then sent Chen Cheng a Weichat message.

"Ding dong..."

Almost back in seconds.

Wake up so early during the May Day holiday?
Yunfeng played a Weichat voice chat, and after connecting, he asked curiously: "Brother Chen, you are working overtime at the company, right?"

Chen Cheng replied: "Hey, in our industry, there is no such thing as a holiday. On the contrary, there are more things to do during the holidays."

Yunfeng thinks about it, too. There are more holiday announcements than usual. Knowing that Chen Cheng is busy, he stops talking nonsense and gets straight to the point: "Brother Chen, I want to come and record a song today."

When Chen Cheng saw Yunfeng saying that he was going to record a song, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is it the one you sang at the beach yesterday?"

Yunfeng shook his head and smiled. In the Internet age, information dissemination is fast. He replied, "Brother Chen, did you also watch that video on the Internet?"

Chen Cheng smiled and said: "Well, although the sound quality is a bit poor, I have listened to it several times in a row. It can be said that this song is the best love song I have ever heard, and the lyrics and music are top-notch."

The corner of Yunfeng's mouth raised, and he said, "Thank you Brother Chen for your compliment."

Chen Cheng then sighed, and continued to talk about business: "However, Zhanlan Music Group has recently signed a lot of singers. Except for He Qian and Luo Mu who released their songs during this year's new song popularity list, everyone else is on this year's new song popularity list The song will be released after the end, so during the May Day holiday, the recording studios are all full."

Seeing what he said, Yunfeng replied, "Then I'll record it later."

Chen Cheng found the schedule of the recording studio on the computer, and said, "Wait, I'll see if I can spare two hours for you."

Yunfeng thought for a while, and said: "No brother Chen, I'm not in a hurry, and the arrangement hasn't been finished yet."

The matter of recording songs is uncertain, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, Chen Cheng scanned the schedule of the recording studio, and saw that there was really no time to spare, so he could only say: "Okay, then I will go to work first. "

Yunfeng hung up the voice chat on Weichat, thinking, the recording studio is full during the May Day holiday, it seems that the business of Zhanlan Music Group has been good recently.

At this time, a bad premonition arose in his heart, but he didn't take it to heart. Sometimes, letting nature take its course is also a good choice.

immediately.

Yunfeng took the tablet computer and opened the arrangement software.

The song "Qilixiang" uses a very common "uncommon" chord trend to compose Am-FGC (6451), which starts with Am, a minor chord.

The chord routine of 6451 is almost overused in popular music, and it is found in many places.

however……

The song "Qilixiang" is almost full of 6451 loops, so it didn't take much time to get the numbered notation.

But the problem is that the only impression I have of the arrangement part in my memory is that there are strings and "Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng" in the prelude.

"Songwriting is a big problem."

The success of the song "Qilixiang" is due to the arrangement.

Yunfeng worked on the arrangement software for a whole morning, but he didn't make any progress.

"There is still a lot to learn!"

In the end, he could only send a Weichat message to ask Tang Yu for help.

In fact, regarding composing, Yunfeng has a certain ability, and his level has reached the amateur level.

but……

Arranging music is different from composing music, and there are much more things to consider.

Of course, if it's just an arrangement of guitar + piano + drum kit, he can do it.

However, the arrangement of the song "Qilixiang" is not simple, and many instruments are used.

The original arrangement, the prelude uses vibrato, and there are keyboards (synthesizers), basses, guitars, Basic drums, etc. in the middle, and the rhythm of the wooden electric box sweep at the end, the main melody with the keyboard, and a computer mixer at the end. The percussion effect of the Zhongding musical instrument simulated by the keyboard is used as the tail sound.

With his current level of arrangement, he would not be able to do it in a year.

----

in the afternoon.

Modu Conservatory of Music, Piano Building, Piano Room 1250.

"What style of arrangement do you want for the song "Qilixiang"?" Tang Yu was very happy when Yunfeng asked her for help.

Besides, she was originally from the composition department, and she was an apprentice of Wu Zhongyu, a master arranger in China, so she would look for someone else.

"What do you think of the lyrical rock style that is fresh, refined and poetic, with an oriental flavor?" Yunfeng uttered his thoughts, and worked out all morning.

He really wanted to restore the arrangement of the original song of "Qilixiang", but in his previous life he could only listen to songs and knew nothing about music, otherwise he could remember more things.

Tang Yu pondered: "If it's not pure Chinese style, the prelude can use a combination of Yangqin (main) + guitar (auxiliary) + wind chimes (auxiliary), and use a synthesizer to make a sound similar to wind, creating a summer The cool feeling..."

Yunfeng listened with gusto and couldn't help nodding his head in praise.

Professional work needs to be done by professionals.

After about half an hour, the various instruments used to accompany the song "Qilixiang" were determined.

Next, the two collaborated to write the prelude, interlude and ending according to the personality of the main theme.

Tang Yu played a few bars on the piano, then looked up and asked, "Do you want to reproduce part of the main theme, or a variation of the main theme, or a completely new passage?"

Holding a tablet computer, Yunfeng simulated a few clips in the arrangement software, and then replied: "I think it's all right, as long as it combines the main theme and achieves a good handover from beginning to end."

In terms of arrangement, he still cooperates with Tang Yu to do it.

period.

He has benefited a lot from the existence of "special skills [such as sharpening, sharpening, and professional skills], when communicating with peers in academics, experience, and skills, the ability to learn, understand, experience, and comprehend is doubled", Composer ability has been improved.

The sun gradually fell from the sky, and patches of clouds seemed to be ignited, rendering the entire sky red like a raging fire.

An afternoon passed like this.

Although it is only early summer, the temperature in Shanghai is not low today. Fortunately, because the piano room requires both sound insulation and ventilation, air conditioners and exhaust fans are installed, otherwise it would be quite choking.

"The parts and sentence patterns of the auxiliary instrument are still not meaningful. Let me think about it and how to adjust it." Tang Yu picked up the tablet computer and simulated it on the arrangement software again.

Auxiliary instruments such as wind chimes, chimes, synthesizer special effects, etc. Usually this type of sound does not take up a lot of space in the music, and sometimes only a few notes are needed, but it is also very important. It plays a role of color The role of embellishment and finishing touch.

"Would you like to take a break first?" Yunfeng checked the time, and he has been busy since noon to this point.

Generally speaking, the arrangement of the song "Qilixiang" is almost the same, only some details need to be polished.

Tang Yu kept her eyes on the screen of the tablet computer, shook her head slightly, and said, "I already have a little idea, let's modify it first."

She worried that as soon as she rested, the feeling she had just found would be broken.

Yunfeng didn't speak anymore.

After a few minutes.

Tang Yu's slightly frowned brows suddenly stretched out, the corners of his eyes bent downward, and he said, "Okay!"

At the same time as the voice fell, the notes beat.

After listening to it, Yunfeng couldn't help but praised: "It's exquisite, it brings a clear sense of emptiness and coolness of being blown by the wind."

With a smile in Tang Yu's eyes, he asked, "Is it okay?"

Yunfeng gave a thumbs up and replied: "It's not possible, it's perfect."

Tang Yu was overjoyed, and said again: "After I try the instrument tomorrow, I will see if there is anything that needs to be revised."

Yunfeng smiled and said, "We'll talk about tomorrow, let's go eat first."

Tang Yu really made "great efforts" today and helped "a great favor", so he must reward her well.

Because Chen Cheng was in a relatively busy situation, Yunfeng chose to make the song "Qilixiang" by himself.

Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.

There is no shortage of all kinds of musical instruments at the Shanghai Music Academy, and there are also recording studios.

the next day.

Yunfeng talked about it in the wechat group of the Huaxia National Musical Instrument Club, and within a few minutes, the musical instruments were ready.

The recording was also very smooth. The arrangement was completed yesterday, and there was almost no modification.

The subsequent post-production took another day.

Come by yourself, you have to go slower.

After three days of busy work, Yunfeng got the song "Qilixiang" which made Yunfeng very satisfied.

This is also the first more complicated arrangement that he and Tang Yu collaborated on. It is definitely different from the original song, but the taste is still the same.

----

Every vacation is short as if it never started.

There are relatively few powerful singers and big-name singers participating in this year's new song popularity list, and there are relatively fewer topics, all of which are concentrated on He Qian, Luo Mu and Yunfeng who were picked up.

After the May Day holiday, singers under various music companies and entertainment companies began to release new songs one after another to seize the gap in this stage.

"I'll go. It's only been half a day since I went to work normally after this festival. How come there are more than ten new songs on the shelves?"

"Zhou Ruilin, one of the Four Little Heavenly Kings, Wang Yuxin, a talented singer of the new generation, and Tang Zhen, who has a versatile singing voice..."

"It's terrible, it's terrible, the off-season of song releases in previous years is actually more intense than the competition for this year's new song popularity list!"

"In my opinion, these singers didn't appear in this year's new song popularity list, probably because they wanted to avoid He Qian, but their ideas collided."

"In recent years, there have been more and more good singers and good songs, which is a good thing."

……

In one week, 45 new songs were released, which is two or three times that of the same period in previous years.

Moreover, there are many powerful singers and big-name singers.

This has gradually evolved into a contest between various music companies and entertainment companies.

Penguin Entertainment has released five songs, and three of the top ten new song sales charts.

Xingyu Music has released seven songs, and three of the top ten new song sales charts.

Huahai Entertainment has released four songs, and two of the top ten new song sales charts.

Zhanlan Music Group has released ten songs, and one of the top ten new song sales charts.

Yicai Music Company has released six songs, and one of the top ten new song sales charts.

……

This is currently the first echelon music and entertainment company in China.

"The leader is the leader. Several senior songwriters are there, and the quality of the songs is guaranteed."

"The strength of Zhanlan Music Group has risen rapidly. I remember that it was only a second-rate music company last year."

"There is He Qian, there is Yunfeng, there is a man with a talent and a woman's appearance, and now there is another Luo Mu. I think the current Zhanlan Music Group has the strength to challenge Penguin Entertainment."

"Correct me, Yunfeng is not affiliated with Zhanlan Music Group, but let them release songs on their behalf."

"What's the difference? But then again, if Yunfeng and Luo Mu also release new songs at this time, it will be lively."

……

Just when netizens are scrambling to discuss.

On May 5th, at twelve noon, Yunfeng and Luo Mu's new songs were released simultaneously.

"Haha, a good show is on!"

"I wrote lyrics, composed music, and sang by myself."

"I didn't expect the confrontation between the two to come so quickly."

"When the market opens, whose new song will be better!"

"Interesting, the point of the needle is right."

……

The reactions of fans and passers-by were extremely enthusiastic, but the reactions of the two parties were different.

Luo Mu seemed rather excited. He felt that the last time "Unstoppable Tenderness" lost to "The Thief of Time" was due to He Qian and not Yunfeng. Therefore, he has been looking forward to a real challenge.

Yunfeng is quite calm. In fact, he doesn't pay much attention to who will release new songs at the same time. He is more concerned about how much benefit can be generated from this kind of competition, such as how many fans and sales.
