Your cps are together

The lyric writing company of Xidie hired a big man in the industry, and every song he wrote, as long as the composition didn't overturn, even if it wasn't a big hit, it would still be popular in certain circles.

It was also at this time that Wen Ning realized that composing lyrics and composing music could not earn much money at all. Although the copyright is divided into shares, since they are basically all digital specialists now, the lyricists and composers can only get 5.00% to [-]% of the album release at most. [-]/[-].

And the big head belongs to the brokerage company, unless the singer himself holds shares in the company or sets up his own studio, his income is not very good.

The platform takes 30.00%, the brokerage company takes 70.00%, and the company distributes about [-]% of the income to the lyrics and singers.

Small disc is commonly known as EP in the industry, and the complete name is mini album, extendedpy.

Between singles and official albums, many record companies will use small discs to ask for directions before launching new singers and bands. After all, there are few songs, and the price of small discs is cheap. Another thing to consider is that many singers and bands have never heard from their albums after they released their albums because of poor market feedback.

This is the first time Wen Ning knows this. Before participating in the group show, Wen Ning has been discussing the theme of the small disc with the lyricist.

He and the lyricist are very consistent in this regard. The lyrics don’t have to be too deep, as long as they don’t look superficial, the composition must be catchy. Even people who haven’t heard it before can hum the melody of the climax after only hearing it once. .

"It's best not to use too many techniques." Wen Ning was very excited when discussing with the lyricist. "If everyone can sing, you can lower the pitch and raise the pitch yourself, leaving more space."

The lyricist's surname is Du, Du Yousheng, a very contemporary name. He yawned while listening to Wen Ning. He looked at Wen Ning with some envy, and said, "It's good to be young, so enthusiastic, and you are still young." Have energy."

Wen Ning sat across from Du Yousheng, and asked curiously, "How long does it usually take you to write lyrics?"

Du Yousheng rubbed his eyes. His dark circles were heavy: "If it is short, it can be written in one afternoon. If it is long, it will be months or years. Anyway, it will be longer and longer, and it will not be able to write a word after the delay."

Wen Ning exclaimed: "Writing work is so difficult!"

After being praised, Du Yousheng said reservedly: "It's just so-so. I don't make money writing lyrics now. I'm lucky. I wrote songs early, and if some songs become popular, I can eat my fill of food."

Wen Ning blew rainbow farts sincerely for a while, making Du Yousheng feel at ease, thinking that this young master doesn't talk about anything else, this attitude is worth learning from all those who work with him.

"Let's decide on the theme first. We need to decide on a few alternatives. We will submit them to the company for confirmation." Du Yousheng stood up. He was thin and his clothes were loose.

Du Yousheng felt that the theme should start with love or friendship, both of which are easier to resonate with, and more in line with the positioning of an idol group.

"I think love is better, after all, the audience is all young girls." Du Yousheng ate a takeaway called Guo Lao.

He was invited by Wen Ning, because before Wen Ning asked him to meet, he said that he didn't want to go to the company, and he only agreed to go to a quiet place, preferably a private space, without being disturbed by others.

After Wen Ning asked Lu Huansheng what he meant, he invited Du Yousheng to his home.

It just so happened that Lu Huansheng was going to the set today, and he had been filming the replacement male supporting role for the past few days, so Lu Huansheng was still busy.

Du Yousheng's age is close to forty, but it may be because he doesn't listen to the outside world and only focuses on writing good lyrics. His mentality is very young, and most of the friends he makes are around [-].

"Young people like to talk about their dreams and they are energetic." Du Yousheng sighed, "Among them, I can be like them. If I stay with a group of social animals every day and talk about income or family, that would be terrible. "

Du Yousheng had his own set of views, which was very novel to Wen Ning. He listened to Du Yousheng's "nonsense" all morning, and he listened with great interest, and he didn't think it was nonsense.

Wen Ning was excited when he heard that, he was in the period of passionate love, Du Yousheng said that it is better to focus on love, so he impromptuly played a piece of piano music.

Ever since he moved from the guest room to the master bedroom, Lu Huansheng gave him a piano. Although it was not made by a famous master—after all, there are only a few pianos made by famous masters, and they are still cherished by collectors, but they are quite good. The price is expensive, the quality is excellent, and most importantly - the appearance is high.

It is dark blue like a starry sky and has a metallic texture. It is custom-made and very handsome.

He was sitting by the piano, and Du Yousheng was eating fruit and looking at him.

Wen Ning played a short section.

Du Yousheng waited for Wen Ning to finish playing before sighing, "Why can't you think about becoming an idol? It would be great for you to be a soloist, such a talented person, and a good-looking person. Put on a suit or a tuxedo, and play a piano Qu, some people want to send you money."

Wen Ning smiled and said, "Teacher Du, you are so vulgar."

Du Yousheng: "Hey, the power has become powerful, I want to keep my youthful dream and pursue my dream as a young man."

After Du Yousheng ate the fruit, he listened to Wen Ning play a section again. Because it was improvised, there was always a subtle difference between the replay and the previous one.

Du Yousheng listened to it with his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes again, he became more serious. Although he only wrote lyrics, he has accumulated a lot of experience in his songwriting career for so many years. He asked: "Who are you?" Are you only in charge of composition or arranger? That is a big project, and you may not be able to do it alone."

Wen Ning: "I can do it myself."

He said proudly: "I composed my own music when I was in school."

Composing is not simply to give a melody, but to include the coordination of the melody and other instruments, as well as the choice and change of the tonality, as well as the arrangement of the vertical treble, the connection of harmony, the connection of voices, the interludes of rhythm and the selection and matching of timbre, Rhythm and speed.

There is a difference between piano composition and pop music composition, but until now, the difference is not as big as before.

After the composition is finished, the arranger will expand and re-create the original song without destroying the main theme of the original song.

But not every composer will do such a complete composition, some only give the main melody - the price is very low, some will have a melody and different instrument accompaniment, the price will increase, but only the most complete composition can Sell ​​for the highest price.

Wen Ning is not only concerned about the classical music circle, he also likes pop music very much.

When I was in school, some rebellious classmates formed a band and asked him to help compose music.

Later, after graduation, these students signed a record company and formed a band, and they seem to be doing well now.

But after signing the company, I heard that my parents were almost pissed off.

Wen Ning: "How did you feel about that part just now?"

Du Yousheng said seriously: "The melody is very good, but it's a bit...how should I say it? It doesn't meet the aesthetics of domestic pop music, it's too gentle, easy to remember, but the style..."

Wen Ning quickly said, "I understand!"

He played another verse.

Du Yousheng: "It feels a bit like this, but it's still not enough."

Du Yousheng accompanied Wen Ning to find the feeling all afternoon.

At night, the main theme was already clear. When Du Yousheng finished listening to it for the last time, he sat up from the sofa.

"I know!" Du Yousheng quickly took out a pen and paper, "I have an inspiration!"

With a stroke of Du Yousheng's pen, he accomplished it overnight.

When Du Yousheng finished writing, Wen Ning quickly admired Du Yousheng's masterpiece.

Du Yousheng said proudly: "There are still some flaws, but I think the meaning is enough."

After Wen Ning finished reading it, he realized that Du Yousheng was simply taking the wrong edge. This song was written about a girl who was betrayed by her lover. At first, she complained and accused in a resentful tone.

In the mid-term, that is, the climax, she came out of the self-pity mood, and the style of the lyrics also changed. She finally realized that she has been unjust for a long time, not because she still loves the other party, but because she is not reconciled to her wasted time Feelings and years.

In the last short paragraph, Duan Shenghua also came.

After reading it, Wen Ning said confusedly: "We are a boy group."

The lyrics do find a balance between the vernacular and the charm, but this kind of song with a feminine tone of accusation and awakening is not necessarily suitable for boys to sing.

Du Yousheng: "You are a stereotype. There are not a few female singers who sing war songs from a male perspective. Why can't male singers sing from a female perspective? And love itself is more resonant with women."

Du Yousheng held his chin and sighed leisurely: "Which girl has never met a dog man? Only by interpreting this song from their perspective can it arouse more resonance."

Wen Ning got goosebumps from Du Yousheng's melancholy temperament: "...Mr. Du, have you ever met a dog man?"

Du Yousheng: "Yeah, I'm GAY. The last time I fell in love was ten years ago. After living with me, that dog man went out on dates. There were ten-person fights. When I found out, I was plausible, saying that sensory stimulation sometimes It can stimulate desire even more than a real sexual relationship. To say that a good relationship needs other seasonings to balance it. He also said that they are all men. He doesn't mind me going out on a date, and he even takes me to participate in a big fight. "

Wen Ning: "..."

Du Yousheng: "Don't you know that I'm gay? Everyone in the industry knows it, don't worry, I'm not interested in you, I like people like me, maybe because I'm more narcissistic."

Wen Ning said with admiration: "It may be because you have experienced a lot that the lyrics can be written so well."

Du Yousheng: "...I get tricked a lot, but luck is like this."

After all, it was ten years ago. When Du Yousheng spoke, he had no emotion, no indignation, nor hatred. Instead, he clapped his hands and said, "Let's work together to release these songs and shock the music world!"

Wen Ning became excited, and regardless of whether Du Yousheng was bragging, he said happily: "Okay, okay! I won't sleep tonight!! Teacher Du, I'll do it with you!"

Lu Huansheng just walked out of the direct elevator: "..."

"???"

The author has something to say: Lu Huansheng: "...a miscalculation, Wen Ning shouldn't be asked to bring Du back."

Variety shows and micro-discs run in parallel. In the previous chapter, micro-discs were classified as Weibo, which has been changed.
