Text Chapter 318 Niche Route?
Wu Qingping's "The Sound of the Waves Remains" was produced long before Fang Tianyu's accident, when Fang Tianying fell into the whirlpool of public opinion, Wu Qingping wanted to come forward to support it, but was stopped by Fang Tianyu, because for Wu Qingping, the most important thing at this stage is this album.
It wasn't until the direction of public opinion began to change, and Han Zhucai couldn't help but say that Fang Tianwu donated money to education because of Long Guofeng's bombardment of Fang Tianhu, that Wu Qingping strongly confirmed the matter on his blog.
For this "The Sound of the Waves Remains", Wu Qingping gave 12 points of attention and enthusiasm, and he knew very well that this would become the most successful album in his career in addition to his famous works.
The record is supervised by Xian Guang, and his ability Wu Qingping has seen it as early as when he produced the "Youth Memorial Book" of "Moonlight Boy", which is not inferior to any music producer in the industry.
As for Wu Qingping's singing skills, there is no problem, not to mention that he has true love for the ten songs in this album.
Fang Tianwu occasionally comes over to see the production progress of the album, and often sighs, Wu Qingping is worthy of being the first of the four superstars in the music world, and his interpretation is no worse than the original singers in Fang Tianyu's previous life, and in some places it is even surpassed.
Interestingly, during the production of "The Sound of the Waves", Wu Qingping and Xian Guang sometimes had disputes over some subtle points, such as the transliteration of a certain paragraph or the end of a sentence.
However, such an argument is not a bad thing, indicating that both of them are extremely serious about the album. It's just that Xian Guang's paranoia sometimes can't even stand Wu Qingping, and some places are obviously okay, Xian Guang just wants Wu Qingping to do it over and over again.
There is also a situation that in some details, Xian Guang and Wu Qingping's understanding will be different, and when the two are at a standstill, they can only find Fang Tianyu, the "original author", to make a judgment.
In fact, Fang Tianying also felt that Xian Guang and Wu Qingping's understanding of the song had their own merits, and it was difficult to say whose opinion was better. In desperation, Fang Tianwu could only choose an opinion that was more inclined to the "original song".
Although the dispute between Wu Qingping and Xian Guang can often be heard in the recording studio, but out of Tiancheng culture, the two eat and drink shoulder to shoulder, and their friendship has increased instead of decreasing.
When Fang Tianwu proposed that he would also release a second album, Wu Qingping raised his hands to support it, he could see the situation clearly, Zhao Zhongjian's matter Fang Tianyu could be said to have survived without danger, but the aftermath is still there, to really eliminate these influences, it is a good choice to use the offensive of the new album.
But Wu Qingping has one condition, according to what he said to Fang Tianhu: "I don't care about other things, but I can't let Lao Xian go, at least until my "The Sound of the Waves Remains" is completed, Lao Xian can't give it to you!"
"Brother Ang, don't you always complain to us that Mr. Xian is a stinking and hard rotten stone? He also said that he doesn't give face to anyone, and his emotional intelligence is outrageously low, if it weren't for our 'Tiancheng' to take him in, he wouldn't have been able to eat a bite of food outside. Fang Tianyu smiled: "Why are you holding on to him now?"
Xian Guang was also present at that time, and when he heard Fang Tianyu's words, his face suddenly darkened.
Wu Qingping immediately denied it: "Vulture, when did you learn this bad habit of doing nothing? When did I say this to Lao Xian? Old Xian, don't listen to this stinky boy, he is obviously sowing discord, so that you can help him be the producer!"
Xian Guang's expression softened a little, and Wu Qingping said again: "Although Lao Xian is sometimes stubborn, his production ability is top-notch, better than some well-known producers I have worked with before. In particular, his tone is terrifying, and the slightest flaw can be heard.
Anyway, I won't let Lao Xian go, Tianhu, you can get this new album yourself and find foreign aid, you just can't beat Lao Xian's idea!"
Xian Guang also said at this time: "I really don't have the ability to take care of two albums at the same time, which will seriously distract my concentration and affect the quality of the album, which I don't allow." ”
"Okay, okay, I didn't say I wanted Teacher Xian to help me. Fang Tianwu smiled and said: "I will be the producer of this record myself, but the people in the production department, I have to draw some over." ”
Xian Guang thought about it, then nodded and said: "Yes, I am staring at "The Sound of the Waves", and there are not so many people, I will transfer some people to you here in the production department." ”
"In addition to the transfer from the production department, we also have to add some more people, after all, the company will have more and more production plans in the future. Angkor, you know a lot of people, can you help find some people in this area?"
Wu Qingping said: "There are not many people of Lao Xian's level in the circle, and some of them are also raised by the three giants, so they will not change jobs easily." However, I also know a lot of other producers, and most of them have not sold to specific record companies, so they have a high degree of freedom, and it is not difficult to dig them up. ”
"Then I'll leave it to you, Angkor. Fang Tianwu said with a smile.
Wu Qingping made an "OK" gesture, he also wanted to keep Xian Guang on his side, so he spared no effort to help Fang Tianwu poach people.
After Fang Tianyu's response to the media on the day of the Double Ninth Festival, the outside world knew that his new album was dedicated to his mother Fang Xiru, and the album title "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" had a strong directionality.
In the heated discussion of the outside world and the expectations of the majority of fans, Fang Tianyu's "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" has entered the production stage.
In terms of songs, after several considerations, Fang Tianwu chose "Childhood", "Those Flowers", "Dream Chasing Pure Heart", "People Like Me", "Zebra Zebra", "Ideal Thirty", "Ordinary Road", "When You Are Old", "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".
Outside is curious about Fang Tianhu's new album, in fact, the people inside Tiancheng Culture are also very decent, so after learning that Fang Tianwu has chosen a song, they all came over to have a sneak peek.
Among them are Wu Qingping and Xian Guang, driven by curiosity, they even put down "The Sound of the Waves" and made a special trip to Fang Tianyu's exclusive office, only to find that Yu Yunshu, Zhao Anhu, Guo Wenxi and others were there.
"Hey, hey, don't you all have your own business, why did you all run away to me?" Looking at the room full of people, Fang Tianwu complained dissatisfiedly.
"Isn't this curious about your new song?" said Yu Yunshu with a grin.
Fang Tianwu pointed at Yu Yunshu: "It's Sister Yu, you leaked the news, right? Just now, you asked me if I chose a good song, and I said that I chose it, and they all came one by one, it must be the secret you leaked!"
Yu Yunshu stuck out his tongue and said pitifully: "Then I happened to be with Sister Guo at that time, so she naturally knew." ”
"Don't pretend to be pathetic in front of me, I don't eat this. ”
"Oh, it's all my fault, how can you forgive me? Yu Yunshu looked at Fang Tianyu with a look of letting him be punished.
Fang Tianwu touched his forehead: "Forget it, it's not a big deal." ”
Guo Wenxi on the other side glanced at him: "Didn't you say that you wouldn't eat this set?"
"Sister Guo, it's finally over, don't you come back, okay?" Yu Yunshu shouted.
Xian Guang had already snatched Fang Tianyu's song score at this time, and when he heard Yu Yunshu's voice, he couldn't help but say, "Be quiet, let me take a look at these songs first!"
So everyone quieted down, but Wu Qingping stood beside Xian Guang: "Old Xian, you can take a look at me, why is it all occupied by one person?"
"Let me finish reading it, and you go on your feet. Xian said without raising his head.
Wu Qingping also knew that once Xian Guang was serious, it would be difficult to pull him over, so he could only walk away and let him finish reading it first, and asked Yu Yunshu: "Yunshu, have you all seen it?
"I just think it's good, I can't say anything else. Yu Yunshu shrugged.
Wu Qingping shook his head: "Aren't you also a singer-songwriter? Did the vulture write you a song, and you slack? ”
Guo Wenxi defended Yu Yunshu at this time: "Yunshu is already good, many singers can't even read the score." ”
Zhao Anhu, who was standing by the wall, said: "I think the new songs of the Eagle have fewer pop elements than the songs in the previous album, and the style is a bit biased towards folk songs." ”
Wu Qingping immediately pointed at Zhao Anhu and said to Yu Yunshu: "Look at other people's Anhu, are you ashamed?"
Yu Yunshu stopped talking and honestly accepted Wu Qingping's criticism.
Not long after, Xian Guang also raised his head to look at Fang Tianyu, and said, "Tianyu, the folk flavor of your songs is a bit strong, can the mainstream market accept it?"
Dare to love that he was too fascinated by the music just now, and he didn't hear what Zhao Anhu said.
"Old Xian, let me see. Wu Qingping took the score and looked at it carefully.
After Wu Qingping finished reading, his brows were also furrowed.
"Eagle Eagle, I think Lao Xian has a point, most of your songs have a strong folk flavor, you should know that in the music world, folk songs are not mainstream. ”
In fact, the folk songs that Wu Qingping mentioned are not traditional folk songs, but modern folk songs. Modern folk songs in China are produced by inheriting the characteristics of traditional folk songs and integrating pop music and rock music.
These modern ballads often contain the singer's feelings about life, with a variety of moods and styles. To put it bluntly, folk songs are all about mood, and for the vast majority of folk singers, walking the streets is the norm of their lives, to some extent similar to the bards of the European Middle Ages.
And the real emotions of the singers are difficult for the public to understand.
In addition, in order to show their uniqueness, most folk singers deliberately avoid mainstream music styles, which is quite unconventional.
Another important reason why folk songs are niche is the exclusion of record companies. In the final analysis, record companies are all profit-oriented, risky, and uncertain music, they will not easily accept it, because once it is squeezed out by the market, the record company faces huge losses.
Some folk singers even have to raise their own funds to produce their own records in small quantities, and these records are difficult to appear in the mainstream market, and are more circulated in the niche underground music scene.
