Chapter 117 Across the Ages
Liu Bin graduated from the composition department of the 95th world of alto, and has been in the industry for more than ten years, and belongs to the backbone of current pop music. As one of the three major music websites in China, the music editor-in-chief and operation director of GG Music Network is also a high authority, and he still has a certain right to speak in the industry.
Song God Zhang Xueyu's third album "Love Qin Shen" was supervised by him as a music producer. Of course, the level of music appreciation is not much better than Hao Yifeng.
But as an industry insider who knows the essentials of composition, he can better understand the extraordinaryness of the four songs of Jay's Poison.
When he saw the lyrics for the first time, he was shocked, thinking what this thing was, and immediately listened to it ten times in a row, on the one hand, he was amazed that the lyrics could be written like this, and on the other hand, he was amazed by the seamless between the lyrics and songs. As for the other characteristics of the poison, they are only auxiliary, such as his pronunciation is not too clear, which is in the service of rhythm, because Chinese is not as elastic as English.
The composition of Poison has traces of jazz, but it is completely different from jazz, Liu Bin tried to play the work of Poison, and played it in a mess, because his music has no regularity at all, it is full of genius-like whimsy, this melody is like an antelope hanging horns without a trace, but it is extremely pleasant to the ear.
And the difficulty of poison's music is not in the high pitch, not in the melody, but in the rhythm. And his strange and genius rhythm gives Chinese singing a new way of expression. This is not a genre that can be imitated and learned, but by relying on one's own genius to create zào.
Liu Bin carefully counted the beats of these songs, which are neither jazz, nor rock, nor folk, this kind of rhythm has never appeared at all throughout the history of music, and it is completely his own rhythm.
Moreover, the music of poison belongs to the more you listen to it, the more you taste it, you can taste it again and again, and you have a different feeling every time you listen to it.
The Chinese pop music is completely disrespectful to the melody, not even its own musical instruments, basically imported from abroad, today's Chinese pop music composition, arrangement is mostly adapted from the Japanese music scene, (referring to the Hong Kong music scene from 80 to 2,000 years, during this period, Taiwan had a Luo Dayou and a Li Zongsheng, on the creative ability fell Hong Kong two streets, on the packaging ability was Hong Kong seconds into slag) There are few things of their own, which makes Liu Bin, a Chinese musician, particularly distressed
Although Liu Bin is not sure what the height of the poison will be in the future, but for these four songs, he has surpassed the Chinese music scene for at least ten years, as long as he can maintain such a creative level, it is just a matter of time before he dominates the Chinese music scene.
Chen Leehom, another editor-in-chief of GG Music Network, also feels the same way, although GG Music Network does not have its own singer division, nor does it have CD distribution channels, but for the sake of poison, they are willing to build one.
Of course, they understand what it means to be a musician with the strength to start a sect, that is a complete industrial chain, and the crazy number of auditions for several hours has proven his worth, five yuan per audition, and nearly 1.5 million auditions for four songs, what does this mean? It means that in just a few hours, these four songs have swept almost 7.5 million Chinese coins.
Of course, this can't be counted as a long-term number, but the value of these songs is unquestionable. This kind of single's revenue ratio is already comparable to the singles of popular stars. Do you say that GG Music Network can not be nervous and not care about poison?
But when Liu Bin called on behalf of GG Music Network to give poison, the other side just replied coldly, "Oh." Indifferent to the high signing contract offered by GG Music Network, this made the enthusiastic Liu Bin be poured a basin of cold water, so he cautiously asked the other party if he had signed a contract with another record company, and when he asked, he felt that his heart was trembling, just like his beloved girl was snatched away.
When the other side said no, a hanging heart was put into the chest, Liu Bin immediately proposed an interview, as long as the poison is interested in cooperating with GG Music Network, it is easy to say what the conditions are. Liu Bin is already pleading with his heart and lungs.
On the other side, on the phone, it was still just a light and breezy "Oh." He said, "I'm going to class, and I'm in contact after school." Then he hung up.
Liu Bin paced back and forth in the office, he already felt that history was in front of him, but he couldn't grasp it now, after thinking about it, he checked the place of belonging of the phone number, and decided to go straight to the other party's city.
Yangcheng to SH is only two hours, Liu Bin on the plane but suffering, many years later he will still recall the mood of this time, when he later said in an interview, "At that time, the company did not make up its mind to sign poison at any price, and even to buy a ticket is my own money, I thought that even if I can't sign poison, I want to meet him and talk to him about his music." I feel like I want my ancestor Liu Bei, the same as looking at the thatched house, of course, this analogy is not appropriate, but from the perspective of the record company, the one who gets the poison wins the world, and history proves that I am right. ”
Liu Bin, who got off the plane, immediately dialed the phone to give poison, and was relieved when he learned that the other party was indeed in SH. immediately asked for an interview, and said that he had just rushed to SH from Yangcheng, and the other party seemed to be moved by his sincerity, and made an appointment to meet at a café called Balcony under the Moonlight near Fudan University.
Liu Bin took a taxi and went straight to Fudan, and finally found this coffee shop on the corner in the alley between Fudan and Fudan Middle School. At that time, he was carrying a briefcase, his hair was a little messy, he was wearing a summer suit, because it was a little hot, his tie was loose, and there was some dust on his shoes, which was unbearable for him in normal times.
When Liu Bin saw an ordinary fat man with a few pimples on his white face sitting under the parasol outside the coffee shop, he felt that this was poison, and this intuition was similar to love at first sight. He could see his slender fingers clearly, the palms were large and wide, the nails were meticulously cut, these were a pair of hands playing the piano, his eyes were not very large but very narrow, they looked extraordinarily smart, and the sockets were a little sunken, which seemed unusually deep.
Liu Bin walked up without the slightest hesitation and said, "May I ask if you are Jie's poison?" ”
Although he looked very much like a salesman at the moment, the other party nodded without the slightest surprise, as if he knew that he was waiting for him. Liu Bin calmed down and asked, "How did you come up with the 96-second prelude to the arrangement of "In the Name of the Father", interspersed with background sounds, prayers, gunshots, and exaggerated Italian opera as a rendering of the musical atmosphere?" How did you come up with this way of singing? Did you do all the arrangement yourself? Liu Bin seemed to want to finish his questions in one go.
