Chen Mo and Song Yang accompanied Brother Xiang Da and left after having a delicious roast duck in Quanjude. I also told my senior brother that he should get familiar with Kyoto now, adapt to and arrange the new home, and when he has time, he could help find friends from the previous bands.
Then Chen Mo told Song Yang and He Shan to help Senior Brother Xiang Da buy some daily necessities, food, etc., and then left with Ma Yinyin. After all, Chen Mo still has a lot of things to be busy with, and he just agreed to go back to record programs on The Voice, so he needs time to prepare.
"Yinyin, let's go to the recording studio. It's well-equipped there and it'll be easier for us to practice singing. By the way, I'll prepare a few more songs for recording." Chen Mo said to Ma Yinyin as he walked.
In fact, last time Chen Mo had already prepared a song "A Prose Poem for My Father" to be used in the second issue of The Voice, and he also helped Ma Yinyin prepare a song "Little Half" to shine together on The Voice. Unexpectedly, something happened later. Chen Mo's "Prose Poems for Father" was released in advance on Father's Day. Ma Yinyin's "Little Half" was rejected by her mentor Ha Ling because it lacked the atmosphere of love when singing. So this time Chen Mo planned to prepare a few more songs, and also prepare a few more for Ma Yinyin.
Chen Mo took Ma Yinyin to the recording studio given to Chen Mo by his senior brother Zhang Hengyuan. The two chatted and discussed something while walking. Century International Trade Center and Quanjude Store are not very far away, it only takes about half an hour to walk.
When the two came to the recording studio, they saw Zhang Hengyuan and Zhang Jingjing in the recording studio next door, and some band members were also there, so Chen Mo went over to say hello.
"Chen Mo, you are finally back. Come and teach me. I always feel that my singing is not very good here. Please help me demonstrate. I always feel that the folk songs I sing are not right." Senior brother Zhang Hengyuan hurriedly Pulling Chen Mo to his side, he said to Chen Mo. He was a little troubled. His musical ability was not weak, but maybe he was used to singing pop music, so he was a little sluggish when he first started singing folk songs.
"Chen Mo, I think I have some difficulties when singing. I didn't expect that this song sounds very touching and makes people easily get involved in the story, but it is so difficult to sing." Zhang Liangjing also said distressedly.
Zhang Hengyuan and Zhang Liangjing have spent most of the past two days in the recording studio, practicing two songs written by Chen Mo Gang. However, sometimes they feel very good and can almost get by, but sometimes they always feel that there is less time to sing. Something.
After Chen Mo and Ma Yinyin asked Zhang Hengyuan and Zhang Liangjing to sing the song again in Zhang Hengyuan's recording studio, Chen Mo understood what the problem was.
"Folk songs have souls. Every ballad can be seen as a story. Some stories are sad stories, and some stories are happy stories. If you want to sing a ballad well, you must first understand your song. The story you want to tell, and then bring your own emotions into your story, and see yourself as the protagonist of the story." Chen Mo paused as he spoke, and continued after seeing Zhang Hengyuan and Zhang Liangjing nodding with some understanding. .
"When you sing, you have to bring your emotions, your emotions. First feel all the emotions of the story before singing slowly. If you truly understand the emotions, you will sing better. You can't sing like a popular singer. The song is like singing just after looking at the lyrics of the music sheet, without bringing in the emotion. If you don't enter the world in the song, you won't be able to sing the feeling." Chen Mo was telling the two senior brothers how to sing folk songs.
In fact, Ma Yinyin is also in the same situation, and Ma Yinyin has never been in love, so she can't relate to the secret love emotions described in the song "Little Half", which is why instructor Ha Ling wants her to change the song.
"Is that so? I think this is more like a story, and the songs you sang before are also like telling stories." Zhang Jingjing said thoughtfully.
"You have to remember one sentence and turn the story into a song. This is the essence of folk songs." Chen Mo simply summed it up in this sentence. "
Both of them were trying to understand the story in the song according to what Chen Mo said. Zhang Hengyuan tried to imagine the southern girl in the song as Zhang Liangjing in front of him. And Zhang Liangjing expressed the emotions to be expressed in the song by looking at Zhang Hengyuan.
Zhang Hengyuan and Zhang Jingjing have both experienced love, so the emotions in the song are easy to incorporate. After Chen Mo's guidance, the two easily got into the mood. They contacted each other several times in the recording studio and felt Much better than just now.
The two of them admired Chen Mo very much.
I admire Chen Mo very much for being able to express the emotions he wants to express through lyrics. Whether it is a direct love from the heart, a fading secret love, or other emotions, Chen Mo can tell it through his lyrics. Moreover, the description of the lyrics is very classic, and the metaphorical emotion makes people feel very obscure. It requires a certain amount of experience to understand. The most important thing is to be close to life and understand it in combination with life.
Art comes from life, but it is just a little bit higher than life!
Folk songs are directly based on stories from life, so people with certain life experience can easily find resonance when listening to folk songs. This is the power of folk songs, which can easily resonate with people and tell the stories of peaceful ordinary lives and vivid stories in life.
In his previous life, Chen Mo was once an 18th-tier starlet who was running around for a living. But in this world, he has just graduated and started over again. Chen Mo's experience can be described as wonderful and extraordinary, and it can also be said that no one can copy it. Moreover, there is another thing about Chen Mo that no one else would have thought of. He traveled through time and brought the memories of the earth with him. Therefore, Chen Mo has a very legendary color.
"Chen Mo, I have to say that it is not unreasonable for you to create a new school." Zhang Hengyuan said, admiring this junior brother.
"Your story is very simple, but written and paired with music, it is very touching. This is your ballad, I understand. We will continue to cooperate in the future!"
"Me too, I also really like this feeling of being able to bring people into the world of songs. I hope I can write songs like folk songs in the future!" Zhang Liangjing said happily. There is a greater appreciation and fascination with ballads.
Chen Mo is naturally happy when someone recognizes folk songs. Not all folk songs can be written by him. As a guide, he naturally hopes that more people will like folk songs and more people can write folk songs. Only in this way can he Let the genre of folk songs grow even more.
"I look forward to you writing a new ballad. If you have any questions, we can discuss them. I will answer everything I know," Chen Mo said with a smile.
Looking at the two of them, Chen Mo suddenly remembered something and said to them, "I'm in a very dangerous situation now. I left in a hurry that day, and there's something I didn't have time to tell you."
"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me!" Zhang Hengyuan asked.
"I had an agreement with NetEase Music before that my songs must be broadcast exclusively on NetEase Music and cannot be played on other platforms." Chen Mo said apologetically as he looked at the two of them.
This is what he promised Liu Sisi before, that he would bring more powerful singers to NetEase. "I have no problem! There is no conflict in my contract!" Zhang Hengyuan said very relaxedly. "Ah, what should I do? There is a conflict in my contract. The company I signed with is Huaxia Media. I stated in the contract that all my songs will be played by Huaxia Media. They will definitely be played on all players that cooperate with Huaxia Media. NetEase is also one of them." Zhang Jingjing said with some embarrassment.
"The contract comes first and I come last. I can understand that, but since I gave you this song, it belongs to you. If you want to buy songs from me in the future, you can only play them exclusively on NetEase Music. Please don't Blame me, this is my hard condition!" Chen Mo said firmly, not changing his principles just because Zhang Liangjing was his senior brother's girlfriend.
"I know your situation. NetEase protects you so much. Of course you will do something for NetEase. This may be the consensus you and NetEase have reached. I will not object or mind, and I think even if I go to discuss it with the company There will be no results, because some time ago many people in our company forwarded the Weibo post by Jay Chou to clear your name, and then all the artists in our company deleted it." Zhang Liangjing replied.
"At that time, it was because the president of the company personally ordered it. It is said that the president issued this order when he came back from meeting someone, so I went to discuss it with them with folk songs. I thought it wouldn't work! Maybe I would be hidden by the company." Zhang Liangjing was a little bit. Said distressedly.
"Hehe, I think the opportunity has come. Didn't I keep asking you to come with me to my master Jay's company? You didn't go. How about breaking the contract this time? Going to my master's company is very free." Zhang Hengyuan smiled at him Zhang Liangjing said.
"My liquidated damages are a bit high," Zhang Jingjing said. She is a little music queen, and her liquidated damages are certainly not comparable to those of ordinary celebrities.
"You guys should think about this carefully, but you can do whatever you want with this song, but not the rest." Chen Mo said.
After a few people communicated, Chen Mo took Ma Yinyin and left to practice singing in his recording studio next door, leaving Zhang Hengyuan and Zhang Liangjing to think about how to deal with the broadcast copyright.
The recording of Good Voice will begin immediately this time. The last song has been released and can no longer be used. When I participated in Good Voice, I also signed an agreement. No songs on Good Voice are allowed to appear in advance before Good Voice is played. On the Internet, therefore, Chen Mo still had to prepare a few songs. After all, "Prose Poems to My Father" had already spread on the Internet.
This time on the stage of The Voice, he planned to sing the song "Ideal Thirty". When Chen Mo sang this song, he did not want to express any love story, but wanted to express his pursuit of ideals and his desire to live in the future. The pursuit of folk music to flourish.
Chen Mo wanted to sing this song just because it was a very classic song in his previous life and was very touching. Although the style of the song is slow and repetitive, it is full of rhythm. It’s easier for people to get involved in the story.
Ideal thirties expresses the pursuit of ideals. The pursuit is almost complete, that is, the state of chasing for almost half a lifetime. Connected with the artistic conception in the lyrics, it expresses the faint memories and summary of the past, and the indifference to the future. This is the expression of a person who is mature but not complete.
We can also feel that the indifference in the lyrics has subsided from the desperate struggle when we first pursued the ideal, and became more relieved, rational and calm. At the same time, that indifference is also full of persistence in the ideal, and Vision and desire for the future.
Chen Mo chose "Ideal Thirty", and Ma Yinyin was contacting the "Meeting" prepared by Chen Mo last time. The two of them worked hard to contact each other in the recording studio, and discussed it from time to time. Occasionally, other instruments were needed to cooperate. I went to the recording studio next door to seek help from my senior brother Zhang Hengyuan’s band teachers.
