"What does today's society value? Of course it's the voice of the people!" Jay Chou said with a smile.
"Now that our art is so developed, works of art are people's spiritual food. Think about it, if you meet their spiritual needs, will they be kind to you and will they take the initiative to help you?" Jay Chou continued. road.
"Now the entertainment industry is in a saturated state, and new blood needs to be added to break this saturation state, and your ballads are this new blood, which can easily break through the shackles and break this equilibrium state." Jay Chou continued.
Chen Mo lowered his head and thought for a while, then gradually understood something, and said: "Thank you, teacher, I know how to do it. Teacher, although most of my folk songs can be played with a guitar, I think some folk songs use other instruments. It would be better, especially because some harmonies require other instruments. Just like the song "Anhe Bridge" I gave to Song Yang before, the morinouqin was used at the beginning. By the way, Song Yang is my good friend of the little fat guy in the campus competition. "
"I heard it live last time. "Anhe Bridge" is indeed your style. The song is also very nice, but the singing is still a little bit interesting. By the way, what you just said means that you have other songs. A completed folk song?" Jay Chou was a little surprised.
Songs are not just cabbage in the vegetable market. They are wholesaled when they are told, and written when they are written. As a musical genius, Jay Chou himself is not that easy to compose a song. Sometimes, he even needs to find a song. Good gay friend Fang Wenshan came to ask for a song.
He was a little worried that Chen Mo would not be able to cope with the quantity and reduce the quality of the songs, so that such a creation would be worth the loss.
It's just that Jay Chou and the others don't know that Chen Mo is not alone. Chen Mo has traveled through time and has the entire music library of the earth behind him. It can be said to be inexhaustible.
"Yes, there are indeed some that I created before." Chen Mo said softly. I thought silently in my heart, I'm sorry, this is not the earth anyway, and my creation in this world is not wrong. I'm sorry to all the teachers on the earth.
"By the way, I've finished practicing Ma Yinyin's songs. What about you, what songs are you going to sing?" Teacher Haring next to him saw that the two of them were chatting and interjected.
Jay Chou and Ma Yinyin were also curious.
"It was Father's Day a few days ago. When I went out to eat, I met a female owner of a restaurant. She told me a story of her own. Then I got some inspiration and simply created it based on her own story. A song, I want to give this song to my sister, to her father, and to all the fathers in the world." Chen Mo said eloquently.
"Let me first describe to you the story that the eldest sister told me, and then I will practice the song later, and then the two teachers will help me comment on it." Chen Mo continued.
The story goes like this: "My restaurant owner's dream was to become a poet since she was a child, because she knew that her father wrote poetry since she was a child. In their place, her father was very respected and respected. Have prestige.
As she grew up, she was influenced by her father and began to write good poems. But God has to take away something when it gives you something. Suddenly one day, her father suffered from cerebral infarction. Fortunately, he was rescued in time and his life was saved, but his physical condition was not what it used to be.
From that day on, her father couldn't write or speak. Recalling the happy life with her father, she sorted out the books and manuscripts her father had read and accidentally opened a diary. The content is probably.
In 1984, the crops in the fields had not yet been harvested, and my daughter was sleeping so sweetly in my arms. I didn’t have time to watch the outdoor movie tonight. My wife reminded me that I needed to repair the pedal of the sewing machine, and my daughter was crying. It's been a long day, and tomorrow I have to go to my neighbor's house to borrow some money and buy her the biscuits she wants to eat. She wore a blue top, squatted next to the pond and punched myself twice.
After telling everyone the story, Chen Mo walked forward, picked up the guitar and simply played and sang the song. Due to the rush, the original music scores with bass, oboe, keyboard, drums and other instruments were not brought over. Although there was a band teacher, it was impossible to play without the music scores.
A hoarse and low singing voice sounded, and a male voice performed the song sung by Xu Fei.
1984
The crops haven't been harvested yet
My daughter sleeps so sweetly in my arms
I don’t have time to watch the outdoor movie tonight
after many years
I couldn't stop crying when I saw it
My father is as old as an old newspaper
This is the text in my father's diary
This is his life left
Prose poems left behind
decades later
I couldn't stop crying when I saw it
My father is as old as an old newspaper
old newspaper
The story above is a lifetime
When the song ended, several people were still immersed in the deep love between a father and his daughter that the song performed. The emotion of this song was really too strong. The musical notes perfectly interpret the father's love and responsibility for his children that are deeply embedded in the words, as well as the children's helplessness when they realize that the years have passed and their father is old.
The somewhat sensual Ma Yinyin next to her even had red eyes, tears welling up in her eyes.
"This song has strong emotions and simple lyrics. If I have to say it, the lyrics are a bit unlike the lyrics, but it is precisely because of the commentary that this song is even more valuable." commented Jay Chou.
"As for singing, I also think that using guitar alone to perform is a bit monotonous. We really need to add more musical elements and more instruments." Jay Chou added.
"This song vividly expresses the father's strong love for his family and his children that he could not help but tolerate in his own way. From the song, I can see the father's deep love for his daughter. Deep love," Haring added.
"As for singing, I think it would be better to add more musical instruments. Chen Mo, you go back and think about it carefully, perfect the score, and then come back to us to practice, or your teacher and I can help you improve it." Harling added.
"Good teacher, good teacher Ha Ling." Chen Mo nodded in response to Director Jay Chou and teacher Ha Ling.
"Both songs are good, but the sound cannot fully express the emotion in "Little Half". Therefore, we need to choose a song for the next recording. Chen Mo needs to improve the lyrics and music. I think you It would be better if there are more backups." Jay Chou said to Ma Yinyin and Chen Mo.
After practicing the songs, Ha Ling and Jay Chou gave more instructions to Chen Mo and helped them know or learn more stage experience, playing methods, etc.
The two instructors are both seniors who have been in the industry for many years, and they are more than enough to teach Chen Mo, two newcomers.
Most of the day was spent listening to the experiences of Haring and Jay Chou. The two of them have rich stage experience, which is a treasure for the two newcomers. At the same time, they also told them some rules in the entertainment industry. There are many rules for survival in the entertainment industry. You need to be cautious when speaking and never act carelessly.
Both of them benefited a lot! We didn't even eat lunch until after two o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone dispersed after eating.
Ma Yinyin needed to go back and choose songs again, and Chen Mo also needed to prepare and perfect the score. At the same time, Chen Mo thought that he could also help Ma Yinyin find a love song from the earth's music library. After all, there were so many songs on the earth, and Chen Mo had not only heard of folk songs, but was only familiar with them.
Chen Mo decided to move "Meeting" by Stefanie Sun on Earth to Ma Yinyin. She thought Ma Yinyin would sing this song very well.
"Meet" makes good use of Stefanie Sun's voice characteristics and is one of her masterpieces. He used simple guitar and piano to compose the most beautiful melody, and used a bright style and a slightly helpless feeling to express concise lyrics.
The song is a little sad, but it also reveals strength. It can easily evoke people's emotional memories through the helplessness of reality, making people immersed in the melancholy mood of love.
Sad but not lacking in beauty! The fact that this song can become a person's masterpiece shows that it is classic enough.
When Chen Mo was writing, he didn't want to be disturbed. After talking to Ma Yinyin about helping her choose songs, Ma Yinyin went home.
Song Yang and He Shan had also left long ago. Chen Mo was the only one fighting here, and he was immersed in it.
The song was completed quickly, and he even tried singing it a cappella to make sure it was OK.
Then Chen Mo was thinking about the song he was going to help his mentor Jay Chou write.
The Jay Jay of this world is very similar to the Jay Jay of Earth, but they are not the same person. (Existence is reasonable. This is how the novel is set. Readers can make up their own minds.)
What Chen Mo planned to give to Jay Chou was "Fireworks Easily Cold" by Jay Chou on Earth, and he also prepared a few more folk songs just in case.
It was late at night, and Chen Mo was almost ready, so he went to take a bath and slept comfortably.
The next day, Chen Mo contacted Jay Chou in advance and went to see Jay Chou with a few songs.
I went to find my tutor with a few songs, and on the way I received a call from Liu Sisi of NetEase. The reason was that after Liu Sisi invited Chen Mo, Chen Mo never responded, and the other party was a little anxious, so I called to confirm.
Moreover, after returning, she actively fought for the company and helped win a third-level contract, which was not easy.
"Chen Mo, have you read the electronic version of the contract I sent you? How do you think about it?" Liu Sisi asked.
A call came,
"Ah ha, this, that, Manager Liu, I forgot about it when I got busy, so I haven't read it yet, I'm really sorry." Chen Mo said perfunctorily.
"Don't worry, you sent me an electronic draft, right? I'll read it now and give you a reply later, okay?" Chen Mo asked with a somewhat apologetic smile.
"Okay, just watch it now. No need to hang up, I'll wait for you!" Liu Sisi said with a smile on the other side of the phone.
The smile on Chen Mo's face froze. He originally wanted to deal with it and wait a few days before talking, but she actually said not to hang up the phone.
Older gingers are more spicy!
"Okay! But I'm not at home now. I'm going to practice at the recording site of The Voice soon. You see..."
"It's okay, I can wait. Just don't hang up the phone. I'll be waiting for you here." Liu Sisi said decisively.
Chen Mo knew he couldn't shirk it, so he simply turned on the music player and searched for the contract while walking.
After a quick look at the contract, it can be said that the salary is very high, but he does not want to sign with any agency, he wants to be an independent musician.
When we finally arrived at the recording site, the instructors had been waiting for a long time.
"Chen Mo, you're late!" Ha Tong said with a smile.
"Teacher Haring, there's a traffic jam, there's a traffic jam. Everything is fine in Beijing, but there are too many cars and it's a jam!" Chen Mo held the phone and saw that it hadn't hung up yet, so he didn't care.
"Hey, Chen Mo, you seem to be quite busy. How about I hang up first?" Liu Sisi's voice came from the mobile phone.
Jay Chou and others looked at their phones in surprise.
"Oh, okay, I'll call you later!" Chen Mo said, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the phone hung up.
"What's going on?" Ha Tong asked curiously.
Chen Mo could only tell a few mentors what happened before. Director Jay Chou and the others were quite surprised. These people acted too quickly.
Chen Mo hasn't officially debuted yet, but it shows that these people have good vision and grabbed Chen Mo in advance.
"What are your plans? Are you interested in applying to the company?" said Chairman Zhou.
"I want to be an independent musician!" Chen Mo told his instructor his idea.
After listening to this, Jay Chou frowned. Apparently he also found this difficult. It is quite difficult for a newcomer to become an independent musician, and now Chen Mo seems to offend others before he has grown up, making it even more difficult. More difficult.
But seeing Chen Mo being so determined, he knew it was impossible to change Chen Mo's mind.
"Well, I am also an independent musician now, and my company Jewell welcomes you at any time. If you really decide, you can choose to cooperate with NetEase Music for the exclusive first release. This company is relatively fair to independent musicians. Everything is about strength, even if you are not an artist under his company, as long as your song becomes popular, they will help you promote it, and I am also cooperating with them, I can help you." said Jay Chou.
"Okay! Let's go to NetEase, I believe in the teacher! And the teacher can help me more," Chen Mo said.
As he spoke, Chen Mo took out a folder from his bag with lyrics and music scores written on it, and said: "There are four songs here, one love song is from Yin Yin, one is from you, teacher, and two are from me.
Teacher Ha Ling and Teacher Ying'er, I don't know if you are in need, so I haven't prepared anything for you. If you need it and don't dislike me, I can help you create. "
"No, do you know how to love songs?" Ha Ling picked up the song "Meeting" that belonged to Ma Yinyin and started reading it. He hummed slowly. The more he hummed, the more excited he became. He could feel it. The melody and rhythm of this song, he is a person who understands music, and one time is enough.
At the same time, a very obvious high-rise building, Minyu Building, has many recording studios in this building. This is where Huaguo Media creates and records songs for artists.
There are stars from Huaguo Media who come and go, not just singers, but also actors, directors, etc. Anyone who signs with Huaguo Media and has certain achievements can get an independent recording studio assigned by the company. As for getting What level of recording studio you choose depends on your own strength, influence, and appeal. You will get a studio of the corresponding level. Everything is competitive. Wang Feng
A cheerful laughter came from one of the pretty good recording studios. If Chen Mo were here, he would definitely recognize that it was Dean Jiang Nan's laughter.
Jiang Nan rushed over to visit his disciples. Most of his disciples signed contracts with this powerful entertainment company, Huaguo Media.
"Very good. It seems that Dean Jiang's disciples will occupy the top ten spots on the Chinese music charts in a few days!" a girl said with a smile.
"Haha, they all seized this opportunity to release new songs. I think the timing was very good. Valentine's Day in a few days is a day of competition. Not only a few of my disciples have new songs, but there seems to be a king as well. To be released, it would be good if my disciples can enter a few songs into the top twenty." The dean said happily, but he was actually happy inside.
"So what about the Heavenly King? This is not the first time. A teacher has written lyrics and music. It is not the first time that he has surpassed the Heavenly King. If the teacher takes action, it is already half the success." The speaker was one of Jiang Nan's disciples.
"That is, the song "Blooming Life" that the teacher composed for Brother Feng Changdong a few years ago is on par with "Nocturne" from Jay Chou's album "Chopin in November"." Dean Jiang's other song A disciple said with a smile.
"Teacher, it seems that Senior Brother Feng Changdong also released a single "Nowhere to Place" this Valentine's Day, right? Senior Brother is really getting better and better. It is estimated that the position of King of Heaven will be surpassed to a higher level in the near future. Level." Jiang Nan's disciple said.
In the current copyright era, if every entertainment company does not have its own independent music player, it will cooperate with others. Therefore, once the songs are released, they will basically be released on various music players at the same time.
Of course, there are also some singers who broadcast exclusively on a certain music player. They only cooperate with one music player and will not appear on other music players because they have no copyright.
Most people choose to cooperate with many players, because this can quickly promote their songs on various platforms, let more people know about it, and get greater benefits from it. Many music players It maintains a share of profit with the entertainment company, and no one will complain that the money is too much.
But some musicians will not cooperate with all music players for money. If they only broadcast on one player, then the player company will give you more income.
When a new song comes out, if you want to know whether it is popular or not, and how popular it is, you can usually check the rankings on the official website of Huaguo Music, hot searches on Weibo, rankings on Huaguo Musician Song Network, and Baidu Music Search Rankings. Wait and see for each list.
This time, many singers are aiming at the perfect opportunity of Valentine's Day. This opportunity only comes once a year, and many heavyweight singers will release new songs. Generally speaking, new singers will avoid such days, fearing that the new songs will be released soon. When I went out, I was buried in the songs of famous singers.
If you release a new song at the same time as a famous singer, you will either be trampled to death by the famous singer, or you will step on the famous singer to rise to the top.
It is obvious that Jay Chou wants Chen Mo to rise to the top by stepping on famous singers. This is the fastest way to rise to the top, and it is also the best way to know his true strength. He feels that even if Chen Mo's ballads cannot reach the top ten, they will not reach the top. Buried in public.
When they all thought that Chen Mo only knew ballads, Chen Mo suddenly composed a popular song, and the quality was high, no worse than the classic songs they usually see.
Chen Mo has been composing during this period, but he only writes ballads and never mentions pop songs, so Haring and the others thought that Chen Mo couldn't compose pop music.
However, now that I have seen the popular music "Meeting" created by Chen Mo's helper Ma Yinyin, although I haven't heard the full version yet, you can feel it by simply humming along with the score. This is a rare song. .
Ha Ling was a little surprised, but also a little excited at the same time. I really don't know how Chen Mo's head grew, but it was a classic once he did it!
Jay Chou also took a look at the music score, started humming, and kept nodding his head to express his satisfaction.
Ma Yinyin smiled heartily when she saw the two instructors were so satisfied. Chen Mo was so kind to her.
"I really want to open your head and see how long it is to write such high-quality songs in one day. And I see that your three ballads are not simple at all. They are all of high quality, especially this one." The song "Fireworks Easily Cold", I feel is also very story-telling." Jay Chou smiled happily, having such a strong disciple is also a blow, the song is a classic, he doesn't need his own teaching, and he doesn't know much about folk songs. , we can only discuss and learn together with Chen Mo. I can only teach him some experience.
"Hey, I originally wanted to save this song for the finals of The Voice, but I don't know if I can compete until then. And you also said that you can only win this battle, not lose, so I took it out. Yes." Chen Mo said.
"Stop talking so much, let's go record the song quickly. I can't wait. Which song are you going to license to me?" Jay Chou said impatiently.
""Fireworks Easily Cold" Chen Mo said solemnly. This song was copied by Chen Mo from Jay Chou in his previous life. It is very suitable for Jay Chou in this world, and the singing style is also very suitable.
Na Ying'er, who was originally here to help the students record songs, chatted with Ha Ling and the others. They knew that Chen Mo was coming over today, so they came with them.
Seeing how talented Chen Mo was, I was a little hesitant to speak. She hasn't released a new song for a long time.
"I'm thinking... I'm thinking..." Na Ying'er looked at Chen Mo with a bit of embarrassment, and finally said: "I think the pop songs you create are so good, can you help me create one too?" First of all, as long as the quality is as high as "Meet", I am willing to buy it for 500,000 yuan a piece."
"Yes, yes, but my thinking is not that clear yet. It may take a few days." Chen Mo said with some embarrassment. He couldn't expose too much at once, otherwise he would really be arrested for research. How did his head grow?
"Okay, then I'll make a reservation. As long as you can give it to me, I understand that the songs need to be settled, and I'm not in a hurry. Let's go and listen to the songs you prepared for Jay Chou first." Na Ying'er said, very smiled knowingly.
