Chapter 59 Is this Chu Ci here to fry fish?
Xiao Hu is the editor of the Huo Shao Yun [Ancient Style Awards] event.
Actually, this is a small event, but there are quite a lot of people who have signed up to participate, and a large number of songs can be received every day.
After all, the top three rewards are home page recommendations.
This is too tempting for those small music companies and independent musicians in Qinzhou!
Because this level of resources is usually only available to songs produced by large music companies.
Even if the song can only be displayed on the homepage for one day, the traffic is quite amazing. Who makes Huoshaoyun’s number of users one or two in Qinzhou?
Regrettably:
The capabilities of these small companies and independent musicians are limited after all.
Because of work needs, Xiao Hu has been listening to all kinds of ancient songs these days, and now he is a little dizzy.
There are very few works here that can impress him.
Either the lyrics have nothing to say and are filled with rhetoric.
Either the lyrics are passable, but the melody is too ordinary.
These are common problems in Gufengge. Everyone is similar, and it is not easy to stand out.
After listening to another song, Xiao Hu almost dropped the earphones.
Spicy ears!
Obviously imitating "Moonlight"!
There is no problem in imitating "Moonlight". This song took the first place on the season chart last month. It is currently the most popular song in the ancient style circle and has been praised by countless ancient style lovers.
The problem is that:
If you don’t have the level of transposition of other people’s original songs, don’t imitate others’ three-letter-and-fifteen turns. Even a million tuners won’t be able to save you.
The atmosphere is bad!
Too many people in the music industry like to speculate.
These speculators saw the popularity of "Moonlight" and made various parody imitations.
It was Xiao Hu who paid the bill.
Listening to music was originally Xiao Hu’s hobby.
But when listening to music became his job, Xiao Hu felt that love would actually disappear.
Let’s not talk about the distant past. At least after this event, Xiao Hu feels that he will not want to listen to any ancient songs in the next six months.
vomited after hearing it.
I was complaining in my heart.
Xiao Hu clicked on another submitted song.
The intro of this song is a sound effect similar to an electronic keyboard, like a flute synthesized by some software, with a vague feeling of a flute.
“Broken bridge with remaining snow?”
Xiao Hu looked at the name of the song.
It has a very antique feel and goes well with the music style.
The texture of the prelude is very comfortable to listen to, and it has a slightly bleak visual feel.
"good."
That is the case for now.
Xiao Hu became a little interested.
The next moment the song started to sound:
“The broken-winged leaf butterfly that cannot find flowers”
The eaves of the small bridge in the night in Jiangnan
Can’t understand the wilderness of Saibei…”
The singer's voice is very clear, like sweet spring water flowing gently.
I can’t tell much about the singing skills, because the melody doesn’t require too much effort.
The singer is very elegant.
To move people with timbre.
This can avoid difficulties in singing and is a very smart way to deal with it.
After the interlude, the clear voice sounded again:
“The plum blossom season is lingering due to loneliness
It will soon be annihilated after the return of spring
Leave me alone to watch the fireworks flying all over the sky
After swaying, it drifts away with the wind..."
After listening to the first verse of the main song, Xiao Hu felt that the song was very elegantly written.
The second paragraph transitions from elegance to coldness, revealing a sense of sadness and resentment.
This feeling comes not only from the emotions interpreted by the singer’s voice, but also from the artistic expression of the lyrics.
Yes.
The previous focus was on the melody, but now Xiao Hu is starting to pay attention to the lyrics.
Xiao Hu undoubtedly understands ancient customs.
Otherwise, he would not have been assigned to be responsible for this collection of ancient songs.
Xiao Hu believes that given the extremely high status of composers in the music world, only the lyrics of ancient works are as important as the melody!
but…
The lyrics of this song, no matter how harsh Xiao Hu’s vision is, he has to admit that they are excellent.
Flowers and butterflies.
Jiangnan and Saibei.
The season of plum blossoms and the return of spring.
The fireworks are brilliant but disappear in an instant.
The description of the scenery in the lyrics is full of beautiful imagery, and what’s even more rare is that every sentence above and below is neat and well-coordinated.
very good.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder induces comfort.
Unlike some ancient songs that clearly don’t know about sorrow but insist on talking about it, and the rhetoric is piled up, but the content is actually empty and boring.
At this time the chorus comes:
“Has it ever snowed on the broken bridge? I looked at the lake
The cold moon in the water melts like snow with your fingertips
Have it ever snowed on the Broken Bridge? I think of your face again
If I don’t have the chance to see Baidi Liulian again, I will shed tears many times..."
These lyrics are officially relevant, and every sentence echoes the title of the song!
This is what is said!
With the beauty of the words of the ancient style song fully expressed, this song is now like a pleasing painting.
Each lyric can remind Xiao Hu of the corresponding picture.
With the clear voice of the singer, the image that emerges becomes more and more intense!
It’s like being there!
Xiao Hu suddenly felt a little emotional. Among all the ancient songs he has listened to these days, this one is a breath of fresh air!
There is no rhetoric.
There is no imitation of "Moonlight".
The song is good, the music is good, and the singing is equally good.
Although I don’t show off my singing skills, the tone is so beautiful. It doesn’t have a climax that goes back and forth, but it has a magical power that makes people calm down and listen to the song. It’s really not easy to achieve this level of ancient style songs!
"Perfect."
Xiao Hu gave his own evaluation.
It’s not that this song is perfect.
Xiao Hu believes that no song in the world is perfect.
Perfection here refers to coordination, "The choice of singer, the performance of lyrics, and the skill of composing complement each other. No one is holding back the other, but rather they enhance each other!"
This is so rare.
It is simply not like the kind of work that small companies or independent musicians can produce.
It looks like the work of the three great masters!
But the Big Three should look down on this kind of activity, right?
Xiao Hu quickly looked up information about this song, and he was now full of curiosity.
Who is the composer?
Who is the singer?
ˆ Relevant information soon appeared in front of Xiao Hu’s eyes.
But Xiao Hu was a little stunned. Lyrics written by: Chu Ci
Composer: Chu Ci
Singer: Songs of Chu
Even the arrangement column is filled with the word "Chu Ci".
"Depend on!"
Xiao Hu stood up suddenly.
Lyrics, music, arrangement, and singing all belong to one person! ?
This situation is extremely rare in the music world, and there is a unified name for this kind of people in the industry:
Singer-songwriter!
There is another classic ridicule for singer-songwriters in the industry:
“No one can make a penny from me!”
Because the characteristic of a singer-songwriter is that he can write lyrics, compose music, arrange music, and sing.
One person is a team!
Xiao Hu quickly searched for information about "Chu Ci" on the Internet, and all he found was "Chu Ci", the famous first romantic poem in the history of Blue Star literature.
It is said that this is a new style of poetry created by Qu Yuan.
Xiao Hu's expression changed slightly. He couldn't find it. It seems that Chu Ci is a newcomer in the music scene!
But this name is so arrogant. It should be a stage name, right?
Just use "Chu Ci" directly?
This romantic poem is a brilliant masterpiece in the history of Blue Star literature.
It is very easy for netizens to criticize you as "you are worthy of Chu Ci" when you debut with such a name.
Just like Bai Di, who is currently in the limelight in the music scene.
Obviously he is a newcomer in the music scene, but he dares to use a name like "Bai Di".
If it wasn't for this guy's songs that are really popular, he would have been sprayed by someone by now. Do you really think that you can choose a stage name casually?
Now another Chu Ci comes out.
He is also a rare singer-songwriter!
The newcomers in the music scene today are really amazing...
However, Chu Ci seems to have a bit of arrogance as far as "Broken Bridge and Remaining Snow" is concerned. The melody of this song is catchy and the lyrics are also excellent. It may become a hit.
“The event champion should not be able to escape.”
The Ancient Style Awards have been open for so many days, and "Broken Bridge and Remaining Snow" is Xiao Hu's best song so far. Other entries immediately pale in comparison.
Thinking of this.
Xiao Hu immediately sent the song to his boss.
“Listen to this song!”
The boss is the one who decides the ranking of this activity.
five minutes later.
The boss called and the first thing he said was:
“Is this Chu Ci here to fry fish?”
…
Chu Ci is still young, a new one, shivering, and Chu Chu is pitiful.
Lin Zhibai just wanted to gain a little warmth in this cold winter.
However, considering that the scale of this event is not large after all, it should be no problem to get the first place. If I can't get it, there is something shady.
Lin Zhibai is strong even if he is not straightforward.
However, it is difficult for independent musicians to connect with the platform.
Lin Zhibai thought that if Kunpeng was to invest in a music company in the future, Jiang Cheng would not be left alone.
Small size, of course.
Kunpeng is an investment company, so it naturally wants shares.
if you can.
Lin Zhibai hopes that he can hold some shares of the three major companies in the future.
This matter is difficult, but it is not without room for maneuver. Sooner or later, the three major conferences will find that they can no longer do without Kunpeng...
At this time.
Lin Zhibai received a call from his sister: "Good news, Shinhwa Entertainment's music department has officially been reorganized!"
"here we go?"
Lin Zhibai finished speaking and asked: "Isn't it reorganized in December?"
Lin Xi smiled and said: "There are only a few days left in this month. The company has solicited opinions from various departments and everyone agreed, so now the reorganization has officially begun. From now on, the Shinhwa Music Department will be divided into ten groups. Ranked according to performance, I am Group 10.”
“Congratulations to Director Lin.”
“Now I’m going to be called the group leader. It doesn’t sound as powerful as a supervisor, but the power is twice as powerful as before, and I have more singer and songwriter resources at my disposal.”
Sister is very excited, she has been promoted in disguise!
And this wave of promotions were almost all due to "Brother Bai", so Lin Xi called immediately to share the good news.
Subsequently.
My sister sighed: "It's a pity that the resource allocation is based on performance. My performance ranks tenth and the resource allocation priority is the lowest, so the overall strength is still not as good as the other nine groups. But Sun Gu took the initiative to come to our tenth group, so It’s an unexpected surprise.”
“Sun Gu?”
“Yes, he came for you at first sight.”
“I think it’s Team Leader Lin’s charm.” Lin Zhibai joked.
Lin Xi also laughed: "The music department has been changed to ten groups now, but the total number of people has not been reduced, so the competition will become more intense in the future. The company said that my promotion is all due to Teacher Bai Di, so what about our Bai Di?" When will the teacher release new songs?"
“There’s really not a drop left.”
Lin Zhibai decisively pretended to be dead. This time he couldn't agree casually.
If Bai Di also releases a song next month, wouldn't he be competing with Chu Ci?
Chu Ci is still a child.
Of course it is not impossible for Bai Emperor and Chu Ci to fight in the arena, but it is definitely not now.
“Don’t be nervous, I’ll just ask.”
Lin Xi also knew that his brother probably had no more songs.
She has released three songs before, so it is normal for her to be robbed. Her idea is very simple, what if her brother still has songs?
If there are jujubes or not, just poke a pole and let’s talk about it.
The two chatted for a while, hung up the phone, and then the elder sister shared the good news of her disguised promotion in the family group.
at the same time.
Lin Zhibai’s ears suddenly heard a system prompt:
“Congratulations to the host for making phased progress in [The Battle for Inheritance]. This is a long-term mission. Every time you make phased progress, you will be rewarded with skill points.”
next moment.
Subtitles appeared in front of Lin Zhibai’s eyes:
【Host receives reward: skill point*1】
Oh?
So this is what long-term tasks mean?
Will skill points be awarded every time there is a stage of progress?
Save up first!
Lin Zhibai’s hamster syndrome returned again.
The sudden reward from the system also made Lin Zhibai re-examine the long-term task of "The Battle for Inheritance Rights".
Sister’s promotion system has issued rewards.
If the variety show is successful, will there be any rewards?
Are there any rewards if the TV series is successful?
If these were rewarded, Lin Zhibai's singing skills would be saved.
Because Lin Zhibai's current singing skills are too weak and he cannot sing songs that are too difficult, so the options are too narrow, and he needs more skill points -
Chu Ci is a man who wants to become the king of singers!
