The counterattack of the outdated star started from the divorce variety show

Chapter 93 The Pursuit of the Melody

Shang Yahui is a veteran producer in the music industry. He came to meet Li Che as Yueyin's senior partner in the music business.

This is the external title, and there is no specific position.

Li Che's title is music confidant.

Now the entertainment industry likes all kinds of titles, and one advertising endorsement can be divided into n types.

Shang Yahui became famous at the beginning of the century, and produced several classic albums for several heavenly kings and queens. Not only did the albums sell well, but he also won numerous awards, making him famous for a while.

It's just that after Shang Yahui became famous, he soon fell silent.

Because Shang Yahui quit the record company and started his own company, he devoted his daily energy to running the company.

As a result, after several years of tossing, Shang Yahui's company failed to become famous, so he had to leave it to the original company to take over, which also delayed his golden age of creation.

After a few more years of wasting, Shang Yahui produced a special album for the young queen Zhang Chuchu three years ago. While sweeping the Golden Melody Awards, she also sold record-breaking digital album sales, announcing the return of the king.

The album called "Disappearing" is regarded by many music fans as the last glory of the domestic music market.

After that, the music market was completely dominated by cross-border, electronic music, non-mainstream, rap, reading music, and traffic charts.

The emergence of multiple styles should have been a manifestation of a hundred flowers blooming and prosperous development, but in essence it is a group of demons dancing wildly, and there are too few high-quality songs.

Music fans want to find the songs they want to listen to, and only look at the charts of various music apps, which is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

The development of the domestic music market is naturally insufficient, and mature market rules have never been established. Not only is there no convincing list in business, but the authority of the Golden Melody Awards has also been questioned when the quality of records is declining.

Over the years, listening to music seems to have become a niche hobby.

In various online communities, netizens will discuss TV dramas, movies, variety shows, games, sports events, and even Up hosts all day long, but posts discussing music are rare.

In addition to talking about the veteran singers who became famous ten years ago, everyone has a topic to miss.

Or someone opened a post to criticize the miasma in the music world, and got the support of netizens' comments.

How should we look at these problems and how to solve them?

Good guy, when Shang Yahui and Li Che first met, they made such a high-pitched tone that they stopped Li Che directly.

Seeing Li Che froze, not knowing what to say, Shang Yahui felt complacent and poured wine for Li Che.

"Have a drink first."

The two clinked glasses and drank before continuing to talk.

In fact, the actor circle is okay, except for some high-end scenes that have to socialize and drink heavily. In the music circle, there is really no scene without alcohol.

All of them are addicted to alcohol, they are not able to drink more, but just take this sip, and they all say that they will be in better condition and sing better if they have a few sips before going on stage.

When getting together, the goal is to drink and throw up as soon as you sit down. Li Che participated with Huang Tingzhang a few times, and the memories are terrible, and then he stopped eating and drinking.

Shang Yahui's status would not drink too much, but Li Che had to beware of him drinking himself.

Li Che put the wine glass at the farthest place from Shang Yahui.

Shang Yahui saw it and smiled slightly.

"I went to Xiangsha to find you, but Xiao Che, you are still so alien to me!"

Li Che smiled wryly, poured himself another glass, and felt bored.

"I can't drink too much, I have to film tomorrow, I really can't afford to delay."

"Ok."

After Li Che made enough gestures, Shang Yahui called the waiter to come over and change to tea.

"Do you know where the biggest highlight of your song is?"

Li Che was not worried about Shang Yahui talking about music theory with him.

Although Li Che used to be at the level of an amateur in music, now that a few songs have been produced, Li Che has also learned a lot. Now it is not difficult for Li Che to compose a simple song by himself.

"Sounds good."

Li Che was not ashamed to say it.

"Speak well, it sounds good!"

Shang Yahui poured tea for Li Che.

Just like the second uncle at the entrance of the village... Li Che inexplicably thought that Shang Yahui's enthusiasm was enthusiasm, but he really didn't look like a top producer.

"I have produced many songs over the years, in various styles, psychedelic, ambient, soul, jazz, trap... I also play fancy instruments, trumpet, synthesizer, suona erhu, African drum... But the market Still don’t buy it. Why? It’s because it doesn’t sound good!”

Shang Yahui began to pour out bitter water.

While listening, Li Che complained silently, isn't it because he is too greedy to chew?
What Shang Yahui has always been good at is actually making pop music, the kind of mainstream music that sounds unique but still aims to please the audience. That's why he can succeed, and it should be classified as indie pop today.

Indie pop is a good concept. Anyone who doesn't know the style but listens to pleasant songs can be stuffed into it.

"The ability to write melodies is the simplest and most difficult ability when making music. It is so simple that you can copy, delete, modify, and avoid being labeled as plagiarism, and it still sounds good. The difficulty lies in being innovative and not routine. It is too difficult to produce a good melody, which requires talent perception."

"Nowadays some singers use writing chords as a bad idea, and even put the classic chords into the lower end of the chain of contempt, but they can't come up with a good song. The chords are actually not important in the song, far more important than not Up the melody and rhythm."

Shang Yahui said something that Li Che had never thought about before.

"I read your background. You are a monk halfway through, and you have a talent for melody writing. I tell you this so that you will not be influenced by the atmosphere, chase after the end, go astray, and always insist on chasing the melody. You know Where are your own advantages, although many times you will feel that what you write is 'vulgar'."

Li Che nodded seriously.

"You probably still have a lot of songs in your hand. You can also tell me what kind of music you want to make and what you want to express in the first album. We can also decide on a few songs first and make a few out." , it’s okay to slowly create the rest of the songs in the album.”

Shang Yahui finally talked about the topic of meeting Li Che.

He came here to meet Li Che and help produce a few songs. After all, Li Che hadn't had a new song for "two months", the kind he sang himself.

Yueyin wants to take advantage of Li Che's popularity to release songs and promote them.

Li Che does have a single waiting to be produced now, this is an episode that will be used in "It's Your Turn", and as the plot progresses, the recording will start soon.

But this song is not suitable for promotion in Duyin.

Li Che's current songs are basically escorting the TV series, and he doesn't think much about the theme of the album. After confirming that he will release an album this year, he has roughly selected a few songs that will be put on the album.

Li Che thought for a while: "Express yourself?"

"Yes." Shang Yahui nodded, "It's safer to do so for the first album, so folk songs are still popular?"

"Popularity."

Li Che confirmed.

"Just as I thought."

Shang Yahui laughed.

Li Che hasn't thought of all the songs yet, judging from the few songs that have been confirmed, this is an album with a lot of elements.

Indie pop contains many things, and pop contains even more.

If Li Che only wanted to make a folk song album, Shang Yahui would be somewhat disappointed, because in the folk song album, the producers really don't have many tricks to play.
