Chapter 164: Playing Music

During the two days that Fan Cheng was eating, drinking and having fun in a small European town, Teresa Teng faced a huge struggle.

Xiaomei also realized Teresa Teng's hesitation, she would never want Teresa Teng to participate in Fan Cheng's show, her perception of Fan Cheng is very poor, in her opinion, Teresa Teng doesn't need to participate in Fan Cheng's show at all, with her popular position, she doesn't need to participate in this kind of show for a song at all.

Therefore, in the past few days, Xiaomei has been thinking of various ways to find all kinds of Fan Cheng's "black materials", from the shows he has done, to some of his remarks, and domestic attacks on him, Xiaomei will quietly put things on Teresa Teng's table.

However, Teresa Teng must also have her own ideas, and in the past two days, she also contacted Liu Zhanyun and got the other two songs provided by Fan Cheng.

The quality of the works of "Red Dragonfly" and "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" made Teresa Teng very satisfied, Fan Cheng's level exceeded her imagination, such a song provided by such a person, she even secretly thought that in order to get "I Only Care About You", even if she let herself participate in a kiss, it is not impossible to consider the right to endure the contestant.

Of course, she also knew that it was impossible for Fan Cheng to ask her to do this project, so that her, who has such a huge reputation among Chinese all over the world, could participate in this kind of show, and it was estimated that Fan Cheng would be torn apart and eaten by more than a billion people.

So what program will Fan Cheng ask her to do?

Through Liu Zhanyun, Teresa Teng also knew the type of program Fan Cheng was going to do.

A singing program?Each creator releases three songs per issue?Artists compete for the right to sing these three songs?

Teresa Teng knows that she is probably one of the few people in the world who knows the quality of these three songs at the same time, except for her, I am afraid that it is Fan Cheng and the girl who sang "I Only Care About You" on the CD.

Even if you only watch two songs, you will secretly scream badly, and at the same time know the quality of three songs, Teresa Teng knows very well that Fan Cheng's show may really achieve quite good results!

What's more, it would be even more terrifying if she promised to join.

Teresa Teng is very aware of her influence, even in the smallest overseas city, as long as there are Chinese, there are almost no people who don't know and are not excited when they see her, she has even encountered excited crying and even painful people who want to go back to her anger after seeing herself, no matter which time she appears on TV, it will cause a wide range of topics, and even cause thousands of empty alleys, she has never participated in a variety show at all, and she has not even received an invitation, because variety show producers in this era are self-aware, who will invite them knowing that they will be rejected, it doesn't matter if she is rejected at that time, if things are exposed, it is estimated that public opinion will still scold the producer who dares to make such an attempt.

She is almost certain that as long as she agrees to star, the headlines of the major media the next day will definitely be her and the variety entertainment channel, and even other provincial TV stations may violate the basic habits of TV stations to report the news of a variety show on other TV stations.

A good show, coupled with an excellent starring lineup, it is impossible not to be popular at that time, and popular programs will in turn help artists buy more records, this kind of complementary help is simply the best way to produce variety shows.

But...... Although no one has ever been invited, Teresa Teng really never thought that she would appear in a variety show one day, and she didn't think that her appearance would make the show look good.

But...... It's a good song......

In the past, Teresa Teng may have felt that she had passed that very possessive period, and in the face of a good song, at most she was just envious of the person who sang it, but now she realized that the previous relief was not because she could really do it, but because the song had not really occupied her heart.

hesitated and struggled for two days, and on the second night, Teresa Teng still couldn't make a decision, and after hesitating for two days, she couldn't help but go out the next night to prepare for a break.

Wearing sunglasses and straw hats, Teresa Teng and Xiaomei went out very low-key.

Casually walking outside, they suddenly noticed a large crowd of people on the side of the street.

It's so strange, now that they are in this small city in the Spanish countryside, it is a very isolated small city, and there are usually very few people outside, why is it that such a large group of people are suddenly surrounded?

However, the two of them were not all willing to join in the fun, so they were both ready to quietly walk past the side, but soon, they stopped in surprise because of the sound of music coming from the crowd.

"What strange music...... "Teresa Teng couldn't help but say.

It is indeed strange that the voices in the crowd are not songs but pure music, but Teresa Teng's ears can hear that there is definitely no one playing music inside, because what she hears at the same time is not one instrument but several instruments playing, and even not only musical instruments, but also some sounds in it are made by something that she doesn't even know.

"It's ...... Electronic music?" Teresa Teng was surprised.

The development of electronic music in Fan Cheng's world is quite different from his previous life.

Electronic music originated in Europe and the United States, and it has been developed for many years, but Japanese electronic music has had an impact on the world in two ways, one is video games, and the other is called YMO.

In terms of video games, the development of video games in this world is very different from Fan Cheng's previous life, because this world also has Atari.

The legendary video game company produced the world's first arcade console in the 70s, and later, Atari developed and released the 2600 game console, which became crazy all over the world and made a lot of money.

But arrogance and madness ruined the company, and they spent six weeks making a huge smash called "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", which sold only 1.5 million copies of 4 million copies, and after that, Atari's game sales began to plummet.

As the ruler of the European and American markets, the collapse of Atari destroyed the confidence of the whole world in games, and in Fan Cheng's world, with the help of this opportunity, Japanese companies such as Nintendo slowly rose to become the best game development country in the world.

But in today's world, without Japan, after the collapse of Atari in '82, it wasn't until the late 80s and early 90s that the slow rise of computer games made the game market recover again.

Even so, now in 2002, the world's game market is still much worse than Fan Cheng's previous life.

In the 80s, all kinds of game consoles were limited to the function of using very simple 8bit or 16bit music, but in this world where the development of console and console games is very backward, the development of this music was greatly limited, and after the development of computer games in the 90s, although electronic music also developed for a while, it didn't take long for MP3 and other modern computer music formats to appear, complex music could run on more powerful computers, and simple electronic music began to gradually lose the market。

Therefore, electronic music in this world is missing a very important link.

The other link is in YMO, which is a band that few people know in China, so much so that it does not even have Baidu Encyclopedia, and its popular period is from the late 70s to the early to mid-80s, electronic music is its signature genre, as for the members, there may not be many people who say that YMO knows, but the three members who make up YMO know a lot.

Ryuichi Sakamoto, Yukihiro Takahashi, Harumomi Hosono.

All three are gods of Japanese music production.

In the 70s, three talented producers got together to play an album like a ticket, and in the first year, almost no one in Japan appreciated the album, and the sales charts couldn't even enter the top 50, but after the three went on a tour of Europe and the United States, they didn't expect that in Europe and the United States, their electronic music was quite popular, and Japan was also very exaggerated, so after the three returned to Japan, their popularity was no longer the same.

But it's good to make things with a playful attitude, but it's not okay to graduate with pressure or even utilitarianism, and after persevering for a few years and making a few albums of various colors, the three of them still went their separate ways.

Fortunately, these three people are not short of money and don't love money much, and the reason for going their separate ways is really just the difference in musical concepts, so even if they disband, they still occasionally get together to play music, do some live live and work out, and YMO's fame and works are still occasionally listed after 2000.

Just as video games promote electronic music, YMO's promotion of electronic music is also what Fan Cheng's world is missing.

Teresa Teng and the others got into the crowd and were surprised to see Fan Cheng in the crowd.

Well...... In fact, Teresa Teng is not surprised that the person who plays music in the crowd is Fan Cheng, there are usually few people in such a small town, and now there are both her and Fan Cheng in the town, you can't expect any music masters to come out at the same time, right?

What really surprised Teresa Teng was the type of music Fan Cheng was playing.

This is very different from the previous two songs, the melody of "Red Dragonfly" is very simple, it can be seen that this song can be played even if you only use an acoustic guitar, "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" is also not complicated, but what about electronic music? Teresa Teng's eyes, Fan Cheng in the crowd exuded a different light, there was a computer and keyboard in front of him that looked quite powerful, it was with such a set of equipment, Fan Cheng played a lot of interesting melodies, most of these melodies are very simple, some sound like games, but it is such a melody, but it makes the enthusiastic and unrestrained Spaniards around them very enjoyable, they excitedly surround Fan Cheng, swinging their bodies with the music.

Fan Cheng in the crowd also looked very happy, the main body of what he played in the crowd was basically the electronic music he had heard in his previous life, such as "Contra", "Super Mario", "Saloman Snake" and so on, the characteristics of these music are better than simple brainwashing, although the live performance is a little too simple, but as long as Fan Cheng adds some complex chords to it, then these music will become quite interesting and attractive.

But Fan Cheng does more than that, he occasionally adds some things inherited from YMO to game music, compared with game music, the former is better than simple brainwashing, and the latter is also not complicated and popular, but the depth of the latter is obviously better.

Teresa Teng stood and listened for about two minutes, and a voice sounded next to her.

"She's amazing, isn't she? I don't know how many other things like this he can do. "It's Wen Jia, she finally found Teresa Teng.

"yes, I didn't expect him to be so good at electronic music. Teresa Teng also said.

"That's not all, do you know the insincerity?" asked Wen Jia.

Teresa Teng asked, although she faded out of the Chinese entertainment industry, music is something she has liked all her life, so she usually pays a lot of attention to the Chinese music scene, and she is a singer she likes in the past two years.

"That's him. Wen Jia said.

"What are you talking about!?" Teresa Teng was very surprised by Wen Jia's words, Fan Cheng?

"How many types of music will he make!" Teresa Teng sighed.

The insincere music genre can be said to be in great opposition to what Fan Cheng is showing now, insincere is gentle country, folk, and even very soft rock, and Fan Cheng does, although the three songs are also gentle and meticulous, but what she hears now is very extreme pop.

"The longer I know him, the more mysterious I feel about him...... You never know what he'll come up with next......" Wen Jia said a little distractedly, although she was talking to Teresa Teng, but Teresa Teng next to her felt that it was not so much talking to her as Wen Jia was sighing to herself, lamenting this man's talent.

"Do you also make music?" Teresa Teng asked.

"I'm not, I'm a ...... Cook?"

"You may not know it, but juggling multiple genres at the same time is more difficult than you think, and he does things that even I can't do. Teresa Teng said.

She knows it firsthand. She also encountered a bottleneck in music back then, at that time it was the period when Michael Jackson was popular all over the world, Teresa Teng also tried to sing rock, but let her sing rock as a singer, except for some dead perverts (such as authors) who pursue the ultimate contrast and cuteness, in the eyes of others, it is basically a capital nondescript, and she can be said to know the most about the difficulty of doing this, even just singing is so difficult, not to mention that Fan Cheng is still creating.

At this time, Fan Cheng in the crowd finally spotted them, and after finishing up with the keyboard, he stood up to indicate that the performance was over.

There was enthusiastic applause from the Spaniards around, Teresa Teng and Wen Jia were the same, the crowd gradually dispersed, and Fan Cheng came over after packing up his things.

"Where did you get all this equipment?" Teresa Teng asked, pointing to a complete set of electronic music equipment in the car next to Fan Cheng.

"These have been booked for a long time, and the United States has just shipped them in the past two days, so I asked them to ship them directly here. Fan Cheng said.
