Chapter 89 Finalized

Jin Shang is really not unfounded!

Without the popularity that has lasted for thousands of years, the songwriter is just a young man under twenty years old, and the singer is still a college student, so his starting point is much lower.

How to make a delicious dish from side dishes that don’t go well together?

The risk of completely imitating the singing style of the two previous versions is actually much greater than imagined.

Even if the lyrics and music of the same song remain unchanged, if different people sing it, the difference may be greater than between "Song of the Five Rings" and "Song of the Peony".

Even if it is lucky enough to be reproduced vividly, it will not have the momentum of the latter.

Even if it is the same song by the same person, listening to it a few years later will give people different feelings.

What's more, the world has changed and the background of the times is also different. Just imitating is not enough. You have to consider the current market trend.

"You see, different positions lead to different choices, so I'm a little unsure."

After explaining in detail, Jin Shang concluded,

"In the first two editions, I feel there are some problems, but the bottom line is covered, so it's not too bad. In the last edition, there is a risk of being thrown off the street. Although it is not big, it cannot be ignored. Of course, the upper limit is also higher, and the song

The chance of a fire is quite high, but the chance of a human fire is relatively small. This... is actually a seesaw, it just depends on which direction you choose to focus on."

The best way is actually to compose the music again, but Jin Shang can't do it!

With that kind of ability, who would still want to be a "copywriter"?

What I copied is what I copied. I have to think about the pros and cons and make some minor modifications to make it more suitable for the current objective conditions. This is already the limit.

"Is there still a choice?"

Mei Fengchun and Luo Yang looked at each other and smiled slightly. They didn't know how to persuade Jin Shang who had reached a dead end. Zhang Qian, an outsider, was the better one to persuade him.

"Of course you should choose the version you are most satisfied with?"

"Even if there is a risk of being thrown into the street?"

"Even if it sinks into the sea and you can't make a wave out of it, you still have to be true to your heart. Creating a new song is a very high-risk thing in itself, and it's not a big deal if it fails. If you are particularly confident, you can try it again at another time.

Just one edition…”

Zhang Qian said his words without any hesitation.

"For example, change to a male singer?"

These words made people feel a little enlightened.

Jin Shang also felt that Teresa and Faye sang well enough, but for this song "Shui Tiao Song Tou·When Will the Bright Moon Come", it could actually be better.

If you want to retain the advantages of your previous life, it is best to choose a female singer with similar singing style and temperament; however, if you want to maximize the advantages of lyrics, if you do not use a male singer, you must let the singer make fine adjustments to his singing.

"The music is too soft, and it can't keep up with the lyrics' high-spirited and heroic demeanor, so I have to find a way to sing it."

"This is the natural weakness of female singers, but..."

Luo Yang glanced at Mei Fengchun calmly,

"I finally understand why you chose her..."

The voice of this voice is slightly lazy, soft, transparent, and ethereal, hiding a strong vigor and strength that is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

This characteristic is quite different from the requirements of today's mainstream female singers. There are not many popular songs suitable for her, but she is very suitable for singing in an opera troupe.

"In the past, Xiao Jin even advised me to follow the path of girl rock. I don't know where he got the confidence to assign me like this."

"Women... rock?"

Luo Yang lowered his head and thought for a while, then said with some agreement,

"It's not wrong to say that we are seizing a gap in the market, but the risks involved are very high, so we need to think carefully..."

Once you succeed, you can live alone without even finding a competitor. There are very few rock singers who are on the stage. It is harder to find a female rock singer accepted by the mainstream than to find an albino giant panda.

This is just like a singer named Wang in the previous life. He was very poor at grabbing headlines and his creative ability was actually average, but he excelled in being diligent. He wrote a lot of songs and had a lot of work. He was the tallest among the shortest, but he was still able to come up with some pretty good songs.

's masterpiece.

Coupled with the overall decline of Mandarin rock, there are no tigers in the mountains and monkeys dominate, so that he once occupied half of the industry.

In this world, in the domestic female rock circle at this time, let alone tigers, there are not even handsome monkeys. If Mei Fengchun can succeed, she will be an epoch-making "monster".

The prospects seem very good, but the difficulty is certainly very great. Otherwise, someone would have taken this road long ago.

Some things should be discussed and handled this way.

If you try to get into trouble by yourself, you still need to be persuaded by the people around you.

"The female singer's original voice is clean, refreshing, stubborn, confident, soft on the outside and strong on the inside. It is a very special trait. If you have it, you have it, if you don't have it, you don't have it. It is difficult to develop it the day after tomorrow. Moreover, it also has something to do with a person's image.

Temperament and growth experience are closely related. Singing skills and interpretation style are secondary..."

After making the decision, Jin Shang said to Mei Fengchun:

"It's decided, let's use your last version of singing! This is the direction, but your emotional investment is not enough..."

"I don't even know your creative background and ideas, so I can't bring out the emotions!"

Mei Fengchun complained with some confusion,

"You can't force others to do anything."

"After all, I'm not a devil, and I won't force you to do things you can't do."

Jin Shang said with certainty,

"The core content you want to convey to the audience is... Yihai Mid-Autumn Festival, drinking happily, getting drunk, and cherishing relatives and friends. Do you know what a drunk person will look like?"

The year Yihai is 1995, which makes it clear that this song is a Mid-Autumn Festival greeting, and it is a poem written after drinking too much. It uses the scenery to express emotions and miss relatives and friends far away.

"I've never drank, let alone drunk, so I don't know!"

Jin Shang explained patiently:

"You have to highlight the word 'crazy', but this does not mean arrogance, but the joy of violent release of suppressed emotions. When I was young, I was frivolous and did not believe in the south wall; in my prime, we held hands and watched the sunset.

. Only by being able to retract and release freely can the gap between lyrics and music be bridged..."

"You are arrogant but not arrogant, what should you do?"

"Well..."

After rubbing his chin and thinking for a while, Jin Shang replied,

"Use the original voice as much as possible, reduce the false tone changes, and give full play to the subtle flexibility and unyielding feeling in your voice. This is God's reward. Without relying on rhythm and volume, there is a sense of power that cannot be concealed. I am born to sing inspirational songs.

Good rock material. Even if this song has nothing to do with rock, your tone is a huge plus..."

This is a talent unique to Mei Fengchun, something neither Teresa nor Faye possesses...

“Fashion sense…”

After saying this word, everyone present finally found the feeling of disharmony that had been pervading their hearts.

I won’t go into details about the style of the lyrics, but the composition also has a strong sense of the times. Even if the arranger has tried to downplay this feeling, some deep-seated charm cannot be changed.

Boss Zhang Qian also smiled with some understanding:

"I wonder why it feels a bit strange. This style of music was more popular ten years ago, and some people like it now, but... it's not that common anymore."

The reality is so cruel, which is why Jin Shang dare not copy it at will. People in the industry have eyes to see and ears to understand.

When you are eighteen, you can barely make sense when you write "When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine". As an eight-year-old child, if you say that the poem "Toast your glass to the bright moon, and make three people by looking at each other" is your own creation, it will only make people laugh.

.

"Whether it's lyrics or music, the style is not at the forefront of today's popularity, so, cousin, I have high hopes for your singing and timbre..."

"Then why are you still so arrogant? You used to call me Miss Mei, classmate Mei, but now that it's useful, you changed your name to cousin and got close to you?"

"I think we should change to a male singer, and a female voice sings the Mid-Autumn Festival toast. It's weird..."

"Don't, don't, don't. I've been working hard for so long. The whole family knows that I'm going to release a single. I've even practiced signing autographs. You can't cheat your cousin. I even changed your diapers when you were a kid. You

Don’t be ungrateful..."

"It's nothing, don't talk nonsense."

Jin Shang curled his lips. He, his little cousin, was definitely not a light-hearted person. Once she took the initiative, she didn't know what trouble would happen.

"Take a break and try again! Don't mess around. I'm optimistic that you have the talent of a girl in rock music, but don't really turn this song into a rock song."

"I know, don't worry!"

Don't worry, if you don't keep an eye on her, you really don't know what she will look like.

They auditioned on and off until noon, ordered takeout, and after lunch, Mei Fengchun, who was exhausted, went to the lounge to take a rest. Jin Shang, Luo Yang, and Boss Zhang drank too much tea, so they didn't feel sleepy for a while.

"Mr. Xiao Jin, your cousin is really a natural talent..."
