Wu Hongrong is indeed a good partner.

As soon as Chen Minhao came up with the idea of adjusting the number of songs on the album, he immediately reorganized the album production project schedule for Chen Minhao and determined the key tasks for the next two weeks:

At present, Chen Minhao's progress in writing songs and composing music is 4/6, the progress of recording songs and mixing is 2/6, and the progress of MV is 0/2.

Chen Minhao's focus for the next two weeks is still to write songs.

In Wu Hongrong's opinion, Chen Minhao's album has been 80% successful. Except for a small number of avid fans, the popularity of an album ultimately depends largely on the quality of the album and the preferences of listeners, and publicity and promotion are only means to let more people know about the album.

Chen Minhao has created 4 songs so far, each of which is a classic. Therefore, even if Chen Minhao's next songs are relatively mediocre, this will not affect Chen Minhao's first album "Farewell" to hit the platinum record and even become a classic.

However, in Chen Minhao's view, the four songs he came up with are only the first step in the long march, and the next arrangement is a tough battle to be fought.

Perhaps in the eyes of Wu Hongrong and even most musicians, the biggest difficulty in creating an album is to write songs and compose music. But for Chen Minhao, the really hard job is arranging.

Chen Minhao still has hundreds of songs about the earth in his head as a backing. But he knows almost zero about the arrangement.

Composition and arrangement are two completely different things, a person may not have a musical foundation, it is okay to write lyrics, and it may be okay to compose, after all, it is okay to have feelings. But that's not the case with arrangement, you have to know a lot about arrangement:

The most basic music theory needs to be understood, harmony needs to be understood, orchestration needs to be understood, music style needs to be understood, generally you need to know how to make music, and most importantly, you need to train your ears very well.

In fact, in modern music, especially pop music, the person in charge of composing and arranging the music is often different people.

The important thing for the composer is to grasp and inspire the melody, and the arranger considers how to embody the melody with skill. To put it simply, the composer gives the skeleton, and the arranger gives the flesh and blood.

The world after Chen Minhao crossed is not a wasteland of music, there is no shortage of arrangers here, all the songs before Chen Minhao were arranged by Wu Hongrong, and there are not many in terms of effect, Chen Minhao originally didn't have to worry about the arrangement of songs.

But the Chinese style of this world has not grown, and the so-called Chinese style is just that the lyrics have become crepe, or the lyrics contain some traditional Chinese allusions. But in terms of soundtrack, it is still no different from pop music in general: violin, piano, guitar, etc.

This is not the Chinese-style song that Chen Minhao wants.

The Chinese style that Chen Minhao wants, or rather, what he wants to convey with "A Thousand Miles Away" and "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" is actually a classical taste, by adding some oriental musical instruments: such as erhu, guzheng, xiao, pipa, etc. Let the tone of the song be tactful and looping, reflecting the beauty of the traditional Orient.

A thousand gold is rare, and one will be even more difficult to find.

In his previous life, Zhou Jie's "East Wind Breaking" opened the door to Chinese style, and his "Hair Like Snow" and "Thousands of Miles Away" are its extensions, and "Blue and White Porcelain" brought Chinese style to the extreme.

After Zhou Jielun opened up this path, more people began to dabble in this field of music.

Because there is no Zhou Jie's theory in this world, no arranger has had similar experience, and there is no one who can even intuitively feel and understand what Chen Minhao wants.

Chen Minhao seemed to casually agree to let Qian Jinyun do the arrangement of these two songs, but it was actually considered:

First, the lack of experience in Chinese style is a common problem among arrangers in this world, and it would not be better to change people.

Second, Qian Jinyun's experience and ability in arranging music in pop music are not bad, and Chen Minhao, the arranger of his "Later" and "Leaving People", is relatively satisfied.

Third, Qian Jinyun pursues the ultimate in doing things, and from the arrangement of "Leaving People", it can be seen that Qian Jinyun is a detail control. This song was originally taken out first, because Qian Jinyun was too entangled in the details, so that "Leaving People" was recorded after "Later". Exploring a new territory, it is very important to have an attitude of striving for perfection.

Fourth, Qian Jinyun is more optimistic and optimistic, to put it mildly, he is "durable", which belongs to the well-behaved type of Party A who encounters a perverted manuscript that asks Party B to change it 200 times, but will still change it obediently.

And Chen Minhao is about to evolve the role of Party A. w(Д)w

Chen Minhao Judging from these points, he couldn't find a more suitable candidate than Qian Jinyun for a while

Thinking of this, Chen Minhao looked at Qian Jinyun and smiled kindly at him.

Qian Jinyun was excited when he saw Chen Minhao looking at him, and responded to Chen Minhao's eight-toothed smile, thinking: It feels good to be recognized.

Chen Minhao didn't procrastinate, at least not in his own work, and he began to prepare the arrangement of the two songs with Qian Jinyun that afternoon.

The place where the two discussed was in Chen Minhao's office with a monthly rent of 150,000 yuan just rented, and now there are only the two of them on the entire floor, which is very empty, and Chen Minhao even feels that there is an echo when the two of them talk.

Chen Minhao said with a smile: "I hope that these two songs can use more traditional Chinese instruments in the soundtrack, because the Chinese style songs I understand are not just about superficial lyrics." I feel like I played these two songs on guitar in the morning, at least by diminishing their charm. ”

Qian Jinyun tilted his head sideways, but his eyes were shining, and said: "Brother Chen, the idea you mentioned in the morning to use traditional Chinese musical instruments to score music is really great, it will definitely make the audience have a feeling of brightness in their eyes, no, in their ears." But there are too many Chinese musical instruments, and the skills of using a single instrument are also profound and profound, which instruments do you want to use?"

Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment and thought: This question is a bit out of the program for me.

Chen Minhao was worried about Qian Jinyun's arrangement, and continued to ask questions and he couldn't answer, so he decided to turn passive into active and once and for all. He leaned back in his chair leisurely and said:

"Using a Chinese instrument is an innovation in itself, and innovation requires you to put on the wings of your imagination, and I don't want my ideas to limit your play. ”

Qian Jinyun was moved, this sense of trust that is fully authorized is really good.

As soon as Chen Minhao's voice fell, he didn't give Qian Jinyun time to ask questions at all, and continued: "Of course, innovation is not an imagination without any foundation, we can learn some nutrients from Chinese opera. ”

Qian Jinyun showed a sudden realization expression, thinking that he had keenly interpreted Chen Minhao's implication: "Brother Hao, what you said is so right, the long transposition in the drama and the modern rnb transposition singing method can actually be well integrated." ”

Chen Minhao nodded slightly in agreement.

Some people seem to be in control of the overall situation, but in fact they are confused. 2k reading web
