"Xiao Liu, they have sent the song and it is in your mailbox. How about downloading it and listening to it?"
In the evening, the two of them, who had been looking forward to it all afternoon, finally saw the small red circle with the number "1" in it after refreshing the email page countless times.
"Hey, I saw it... let's take a look, what is the song that we spent a lot of time and paid such a high price to get this time like?"
Liu Yiliang rubbed his hands very excitedly and then clicked on the title of the email.
"'White Rose'? The name of this song is White Rose?"
As soon as he opened the email, Liu Yiliang saw the name of the song attached.
"No matter how many things there are, let's download it and listen to it first..."
After downloading the song quickly, Liu Yiliang put on his headphones and pressed the play button.
The cold and graceful piano sound slowly came from the headphones, and the cold melody made Liu Yi, who was originally passionate, feel stunned!
"Is it such a desolate prelude? Is this a piece of resentful music with a very depressing and low-spirited atmosphere?"
He guessed, without pressing the pause button, and continued listening.
A few minutes later, with mixed emotions, he took off the earmuffs of the headphones on his head and was speechless for a while.
"What's wrong? Is it unpleasant?"
Gu Weiping was busy processing contract documents and did not listen to the song in person for the first time.
But from Liu Yiliang's expression, she saw something was wrong.
"No...it sounds good."
"Then why are you looking like this? Your brows are so tightly furrowed that I thought this was a bad song and they were perfunctory with us..."
Gu Weiping stopped what she was doing and looked into his eyes seriously, trying to see what he was really thinking.
"No, this is definitely not perfunctory, but..."
Liu Yiliang opened his mouth, and his expression became slightly dull. He didn't know how to explain it to his agent, so he simply handed the earphones to her.
"You should listen to it yourself. After listening, you will understand how I feel now."
"Eh...Okay."
Gu Weiping took the headphones and put them on her head, and Liu Yiliang pressed the play button for her.
3 minutes and 58 seconds later.
Gu Weiping, who looked shocked, held the headphones in both hands. Her eyes were already wide open, and she turned her head and looked at her singer with the same disbelieving expression.
The other person was looking back at her with a "now you understand" expression on his face, and nodded his chin at her.
"Fuck..."
Gu Weiping opened her mouth with a curse word, turned the notebook on the table towards her, then clicked on another attachment text document marked "Lyrics", and then pressed the play button again.
A few more minutes passed.
"Damn it, is this Jiang Kan a god?"
Although she is 38 years old this year and has been in the music industry for so many years since her early twenties, Gu Weiping is still deeply impressed by the song "White Rose".
"It's great, it's so well written. Not only is the melody of the song so unique and moving, but its lyrics are also very meaningful and full of profound meaning!"
"What shocked me even more was that he actually wrote the lyrics of this song in our Lingnan dialect! He used the nine tones and six tones of Lingnan dialect to the fullest. I haven't heard something so amazing in many years. Lingnan songs?"
The two of us looked at me and I looked at you, both amazed by Jiang Kan's unpredictable creative ability.
Not to mention that this song was a demonstration vocal that Jiang Kan recorded himself for convenience, because he was too lazy to find a demonstration singer or make electronic music.
Listening to Jiang Kan's beautiful singing voice coming from the headphones, he played this Lingnan-style song to its fullest. Liu Yiliang really felt that he was so stupid, stupid, and terrible that he couldn't compete with him at all!
Even if you imitate his singing style and sing like this, you are just trying to pick on others' wisdom. He has already walked all the way he wants to go. Is there any other way he can go?
But if you imitate his demonstration and sing, wouldn't it be like a poor student copying the homework of other high-achieving students, then handing in the copied homework, and then asking the teacher to praise him?
What a shame!
Hey, this is so exciting!
Jiang Kan and Zhang Lingling didn't know the shock and depression of Liu Yiliang.
They are happily counting their harvest.
In addition to licensing fees and dividends, there is also a movie role from the great director Hu Bin to participate in.
"To be honest, when those two people invited me to participate in the performance of "Youth Without Regrets", I was a little tempted. It was because their movie was unreliable that I didn't go. Now I have a good opportunity. You can also go and make your debut on the big screen, hehe!"
Jiang Kan happily spoke his mind while drinking tea.
This world is the same as the earth. After celebrities become famous in their own industry, they will develop into other entertainment industries.
For example, Zhao Yu Zhao Tianhou, in addition to singing, she will also participate in some movies.
Before, Jiang Lili's main job was singing, but she also acted in several TV series.
Not to mention that before Murong Cheng committed the crime, he was the leading male lead in several popular movies!
Singing and acting is something that most singers on Blue Star will inevitably do after becoming famous. Jiang Kan will naturally not refuse such a good opportunity to become a small name in the film and television industry. Of course Zhang Lingling Nor will he hinder his singers from finding another way to grow their careers.
"It's just that Director Hu Da's character is said to be very strict, and there are even rumors of being a tyrant on the set. He is very difficult to get along with. If you go there then, you have to get along well with him. Don't... ha, Brother Kan, you’re not the kind of person who plays big, so there shouldn’t be any problem.”
Zhang Lingling laughed as she spoke. She had been working for so many years, and Jiang Kan was the easiest person to deal with among the famous singers she had come into contact with. After all, he had experienced so many years of severe beatings and training from society. The middle-aged people will no longer be like those stupid young people who are dissatisfied with one thing and love to cause trouble with the other.
"That's right, you don't even know what kind of person your brother Kan is!"
Jiang Kan is also very happy. In addition to the remuneration paid by the other party, part of it is that his next steps will also change with this song transfer.
Originally, his plan for the next issue was to continue singing the song "Big Fish" with a female voice. In terms of singing difficulty and classicness, this song should have a progressive relationship with "The Drunken Concubine" , and it can also strengthen the audience's memory of this singing method, thereby achieving the effect in their minds that "Jiang Kan's techniques are becoming more and more difficult, and the songs are getting better and better."
But now it seems that just increasing the difficulty of singing and the intensity of the female voice skills may not necessarily bring much threat to Janice.
I don't want to leave the audience with the impression that "this guy just knows how to show off his skills." Can he really compare to the difficulty of singing compared to an international superstar who has been immersed in this skill for many years?
So the way he came up with now was to create some "dramatic effects" and find another way to confront the opponent.
Specifically, in the next issue, Liu Yiliang will sing "White Rose", and I will sing "Red Rose", using the similarity of these sisters' songs to trigger topics, and then using the excellent lyrics and music of these two songs to make myself Her singing became more profound, drawing the audience's attention away from Janice.
Then when the audience is surprised by the similarities and differences in style and lyrics between the Mandarin version and the Lingnan version of the song, the next competition will become a competition between him and Liu Yiliang, that is, between domestic singers competition.
In this way, it is equivalent to using a curve to save the country to avoid the head-on confrontation with Janice.
Of course, this idea is not necessarily completely correct, but
After all, it will give Xia Guo's singers a chance to fight. Anyway, the other party is so strong, so why not give it a try?
"Teacher Zhang, it's been a long time since I came to visit you!"
In Yanjing, in a living room of a high-end community, a middle-aged man with extraordinary appearance and gray hair was saluting and saying hello to another octogenarian man with a straight body and a cane.
"Haha, Xiao Liu, it's true that you haven't come to see the teacher for many years. Why, did you make a special trip to see me this time? Or is there something wrong?"
The old man asked the middle-aged man to sit down, and then asked with a smile.
"Hey, haven't I been very busy in recent years? I have spent all my energy trying to revive our theater art..."
The middle-aged man known as Xiao Liu shook his head with a wry smile and let out a long sigh.
"Haha, you have indeed worked hard over the years. I also know that you have been traveling around to revive our traditional opera art..."
The old man nodded, with both hands on the handle of the cane, and a foot-long white beard hanging on his chest, giving him an air of immortality.
"Teacher, this is nothing. I run around, recruiting apprentices, building theater troupes, organizing performances... these are all things I should do. You are older, shouldn't these be the things we should do? Did the disciples do it..."
Liu Dehou reached out and picked up the white porcelain teapot on the table, carefully filled a porcelain cup that was slightly smaller than his fist, and then respectfully held it in front of the teacher with both hands. After the other party took it, he again Pour yourself a glass.
"I came to see you this time. Firstly, I just arrived in Yanjing and came to say hello to you. The other thing is... you listen to this song first, and we will talk later."
As he spoke, he handed over his mobile phone. A song was already open on the mobile phone. The image of a middle-aged singer holding a microphone was displayed on the screen, and then the name of the song was displayed in the middle:
""New Drunken Beauty"."
"Oh? "The New Drunken Concubine"?"
The old man held the phone with great interest, and instead of pressing the play button, he read the name again.
"I know "The Drunken Concubine", the story of Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. We opera singers are all familiar with them, but what is this "The Drunken Concubine"? This "new", where is the new? "
He muttered to himself, and without waiting for a reply, he clicked the play button.
The song finished playing quickly.
But the old man still sat upright, his eyes slightly closed, his hands on the head of the crutch in front of him, saying nothing.
Liu Dehou also knew his teacher's habit. After listening to a piece of music, he liked to taste it for a while, so he drank the fragrant tea without disturbing him.
After a long while, Teacher Zhang finally opened his eyes.
Then he nodded slightly.
"This song, um, is kind of interesting~"
As the old man spoke, he sat upright again with his slightly slouched body, like a dignified clock, exuding a feeling that was astonishing.
"Yeah, this song is very interesting."
Liu Dehou put down his teacup and smiled slightly, echoing the old man's words.
"What's so interesting about this song? Xiao Liu, tell me."
There was a faint smile on the old man's face, but his eyes were staring at his apprentice's eyes with special attention.
"There are three interesting things about this."
Liu Dehou didn't show off and started talking directly.
"First, this song is a song that combines the elements of current popular songs with the singing style and soundtrack method of our "dan role" in the art of opera. "
"Second, the opera part of this song is just a popular adaptation of the singing method. It is not as pure and fixed as our opera. Our Yanjing opera singing is a variation of the board style, mainly based on Xipi and Erhuang. Among them, Xipi is mainly used to express cheerful and persevering emotions, and Erhuang is mainly used to express depression, sadness and anger, but in his songs
There is no such expression, but a large number of modern electronic instruments such as electric guitars, drums, electronic keyboards, etc. are used to pave the way for background music, and then the drama is overlaid on top, in a way that is more acceptable and novel for modern audiences. The perfect fusion of the two forms a sharp contrast between "ancient tune and modern music". "
After speaking for a long time in one breath, Liu Dehou's mouth felt a little dry, so he picked up the tea and took another big sip.
"Yeah, well said."
The old man nodded slightly, and then encouraged him to continue with a smile.
"The third interesting thing about this is that this person has two voices. Teacher, you probably don't know that these two voices are sung by the same person, right?"
His teasing question made the old man who was sitting as straight as a bell suddenly stand up!
Although it is very old, it is like a strong and upright pine tree, which has never bent even half a inch.
"What, you mean, this female voice was actually sung by a man?"
Although the old man stood upright, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably!
"Oh, my teacher, please don't get excited! Sit down, sit down and let's talk slowly!"
Upon seeing this, Liu Dehou stood up quickly. He held the teacher's shoulders and wanted him to sit down first, so as not to be too surprised and excited and hurt his body.
"No, tell me, this voice was really sung by a man?"
"Teacher, it's true. This voice was really sung by a man."
"His name is...Jiang Kan?"
"Yes, Jiang Kan is a new singer who has suddenly appeared in recent months. He is already forty years old, but he is well-maintained so he doesn't look old."
After taking a few deep breaths, the old man slowly sat down. He reached for the mobile phone that was just placed on the table and put it in front of his eyes. He carefully looked at Jiang Kanlai, who was singing affectionately on the screen.
