Chapter 151: The Tip of the Iceberg
From the first time she wrote a song at the age of 12, to this year, Yan Ruozhi has been writing songs for eleven years.
More than 100 works have been published.
Among them, there are 7 hot songs with the APM hot index (a comprehensive index of fan downloads and singers' covers) reaching the C level.
1 B-grade hit song.
1 A-grade hit song.
There are no super hits of S-class and SS pole yet.
This report card is extremely powerful for a young creator who is only 23 years old.
Throughout the history of the development of the Chinese music scene, creators who can come up with such a dazzling report card before the age of 23 can be counted on one hand.
In terms of creative achievements alone, Yan Ruozhi is a rare genius in China.
Yan Ruozhi has always been very confident in writing songs.
But after listening to Jiang Dongliu's several new songs, Yan Ruozhi was a little "frustrated".
She felt that she could control enough music styles, and it wasn't until she listened to so many songs of Jiang Dongliu that she understood what it meant to be a great genius.
Each of Jiang Dongliu's works can make people taste a different taste.
Musicians with professional quality can especially intuitively feel the essence of Jiang Dongliu's key and wonderful inspiration in his works.
Some of his songs are emotionally sincere, some are strong, some are off-edge, and some are back to basics, and there is no fixed pattern to be found.
Usually musicians write songs with their own preferred key combinations or preferred structures, and even if they create works of different styles, they can find habitual clues from the same person in these works.
It's like writing by a person, after you get used to writing, even if you want to change your writing style, the handwriting expert can also find the pattern from the strokes and identify whether the characters are from the same person.
Listening to Jiang Dongliu's songs, almost every song has a different key or structural combination, and the same rules cannot be found at all.
If it weren't for the accurate inside information that Jiang Dongliu had made these songs himself, Yan Ruozhi really wouldn't believe that these works with different styles were made by the same person.
Not to mention how clever the creative skills of these songs are, these irrelevant and unbridled musical ideas alone are enough for Yan Ruozhi to open her eyes.
The more she listened to Jiang Dongliu's songs, the more Yan Ruozhi could feel the "terrible" of this guy's talent potential.
In Yan Ruozhi's eyes, Jiang Dongliu is like a bottomless iceberg, and the reason why he is said to be bottomless is because his current works exposed to the water are only the tip of the iceberg that highlights the sea level.
What a rich musical treasure is hidden under the sea, Yan Ruozhi can't imagine it anyway.
In her own creations, 9 songs have reached the popularity standard of C or above, which can be said to be a very good work.
But listening to Jiang Dongliu's songs, it seems that any of them is no worse than her own C-level works.
Perhaps because of the magic of Jiangdongliu music, the ability to appreciate it is biased.
In short, the more Yan Ruozhi listens to Jiang Dongliu's songs, the more she feels good.
She has posted hundreds of songs before 9 of them can meet the standard of popularity.
This high-quality rate is a very high level among Chinese creators.
Jiang Dongliu has the potential to rush to the C level every time he releases a song, which is so strong that he is perverted!
Although the current number of downloads and covers of these songs have not yet reached the rating criteria.
But Yan Ruozhi can have a hunch that as long as Jiangdong becomes popular in the future, these songs will break out of the rating standard of popularity, and the most inferior should be C-level works, none of which are bland "irrigated works".
There are irrigated works in the world.
There are also waterlogged works in the music industry.
In order to rush to complete the creation of new songs in the club contract, many musicians write songs until they are numb, so they don't care so much, but practice makes perfect use of the most familiar key combinations to fill in the melodic framework, and then fill in a random word to spell out a new song.
Because the skills are very skilled, I know what routines the audience likes to listen to, and the songs they spell out like this have catchy melodies, and ordinary people will still feel very good after listening to them, but professional musicians can see at a glance which works are created by musicians with their hearts, and which works are works that musicians put together casually.
This has long been the norm in the music industry, and it's not even a secret.
At least one-third of Yan Ruozhi's 100 original works are this kind of "irrigated works".
There is no way, the singers under Nanshan Dongli go out to play competitions, and they need a lot of new song support from the club.
The creative team has to work overtime every day to create it, and they don't have that much energy to craft each song.
After getting familiar with the routine, almost every musician will be lazy to create some watery compositions for the singer to cope with the competition.
Only for those particularly important events, musicians will work intensively, portray in detail, show their housekeeping skills, and produce high-quality products to fight.
Jiang Dongliu is different, at least judging from the so many works he has participated in the competition so far, none of them are irrigated works.
Each of his original compositions is unique and worthy of appreciation.
Including the "Roman Watch" that shattered Yan Ruozhi's chest like a boulder, all hide the creative wisdom of the sword.
This night, I listened to the four new songs released by Jiangdongliu Xincai, and they are all remarkable.
Yan Ruozhi really convinced Jiang Dongliu's unfathomable musical talent like an iceberg.
Although I'm still a little worried that Jiang Dongliu will do something at the challenge.
In his disgraceful songs, there may be a bomb like "Roman Watch".
But in any case, Yan Ruozhi is looking forward to this "head-to-head confrontation" with Jiang Dongliu.
Yan Ruozhi temporarily decided to appear in the Hair Festival Challenge in the form of cloud participation this time.
was really guessed by Tang Zhi, she did have a careful opportunity to rub the heat of Jiangdong.
If Jiang Dongliu hadn't suddenly appeared and quickly became popular, Yan Ruozhi would not have wasted her energy to participate in this lowest-level challenge of APM10, even if it was her own challenge.
Since there were no points in the account for nearly half a month, some points were deducted after a year.
Yan Ruozhi's current APM score is 246 points, and she has withdrawn from the top 200 in the country and slipped to 257th in the country.
Of those 246 points, only 6 were points scored by the Tour, all of which were scored when they were eliminated in the qualifying stages of the Tour, and none of them were scored in the main tournament of the Tour.
The other 240 points is the sum of the 10 highest-scoring Challenger points.
The lowest score of the 10 tournaments was 15 points, which was won by participating in an APM25 challenge and finishing as a runner-up.
Everything else is the winner score of the APM20 or Level 25 challenge.
The other was a 20-point finish from the top 4 of the APM 75 Challenge, which is the highest level of the APM Challenge.
