Outside the rehearsal room, Lin Zaishan answered the other party's phone call.

"Hello, are you Mr. Lin Zaishanlin?" A crisp and polite girl's voice came over the phone.

"Yes, I am, who are you?"

"Hello, I'm Li Wei of Caidie Records - Guan Yaling's assistant, you can call me Silvia or Xiaowei."

"Oh, hello Xiaowei, ...... you called me?"

"That's right, Mr. Lin, you joined our Butterfly team in the competition of "The Strongest Singer-Songwriter" before, and in the later competitions, Sister Yaling and the production department of our Butterfly Records will provide you with some help in your participation and creation. Are you free the day after tomorrow on the morning of October 18th? Can you take a trip to Butterfly Records? Our production department would like to have a meeting with you to discuss it and see how we can cooperate better in the future. ”

"Okay, I'm free on the morning of the 18th, so I can go over. You'll send me a text message with the full address and time of where I'm going, and who I'm going to contact when I arrive. ”

"No problem, no problem, you can contact me then. I'll text you. ”

"Okay, we'll see you the day after tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, see you the day after tomorrow!"

Lin Zaishan hung up Li Wei's phone, and within half a minute, Li Wei sent him the address of Caidie Records, and also sent her own contact information to Lin Zaishan.

"At nine o'clock in the morning on the 18th, go to the color butterfly record ......" Lin Zaishan read, wrote down the schedule to his mobile phone, and set an alarm to avoid forgetting.

Back in the rehearsal room, the white pigeon greeted him, "Dad, who is looking for you?" ”

"Caidie Records, ask me to go to their company for a meeting the day after tomorrow."

"Are you sure you're on the team?"

"I don't know, I won't know until I go. Hurry up and rehearse, and don't think about anything else. ”

Lin Zaishan organized a few children and prepared to continue rehearsals.

"Master, let's stop arranging "The Sky is Above", listening to your singing "The Sky is Above", I was really stimulated, I couldn't learn how you felt. I haven't been to the Great Northwest of Zhongzhou. ”

"You kid just like to make excuses."

With an idea, Lin Zaishan told Zhang Hao: "Haven't you felt the customs of the great northwest of Zhongzhou?" Now is a great opportunity for you to feel the feelings. Huayin Lao Yan is doing a special session in your school, I went to see it with the pigeon this afternoon, and it was very good. You should also go and see it and feel the folk culture over there. …… Pigeon, is there a special show every other day? ”

"Yes, the next one is two o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow."

"Haozi, you go and find a way to find tickets, and the next afternoon, a few of you will go to see Huayin Laojiao. There are a few singing segments in it, simple and tragic, rough and bold, especially with a loess atmosphere, you go to listen to what others sing, you can find more of the feeling of "The Sky is Above". ”

"Won't it?" Zhang Hao was about to cry: "Huayin's old-fashioned stage design was done by our art department, and we all watched them during rehearsals, how can there be any simple and tragic feeling?" That's a completely dirty village accent! ”

Liu Yang, Song Peng and others agreed one by one. They did see Huayin's old dialect before, and for these trendy men in the visual kei, Huayin's old dialect is too earthy.

"You kids, why are you so flattering? Things from abroad are good, and things from their own nation are dirt and scum. Can you not forget your roots so much? Without our ancestors, could we have you now? ”

"Master, what you said is too heavy. We don't forget our roots, we like a lot of folk things very much - like Min opera, Hakka opera or something, we can watch it, and we still like to watch it when I was a child. There are also respects to heaven and welcome Mazu, and we all like to participate in these folk activities. Lao Bi came from Yuezhou, and now we are infected with Kuaixin Mazu, every year Mazu parades, Lao Bi will follow to play. Zhang Hao's embarrassed words changed: "But the old dialect - this thing from the north is really weird!" If it is Qin Yan and breathes fire on the stage, it will be quite interesting for us to watch. I can't understand it! ”

Li He and others echoed one after another, feeling that they couldn't accept the old way.

"You look at it with a heart of resistance, of course you can't accept it. To make music, you must have the spirit of embracing all rivers, don't always feel that you are rock and roll bull B, rock 'n' roll avant-garde, and keep holding rock and roll until you die. Any type of music and art form has advantages that you should learn from. Since you want to follow the path of music, you should calm down and learn more, instead of saying no to everything. It's okay for you guys to like to play rock, but what is rock? The most real, the most heroic, the most direct thing, this is the essence of rock and roll. If you listen carefully, many of the old singing passages contain all these rock elements. ”

"Master, do you mean—the old is rock 'n' roll?" Li He's head lit up and asked in surprise.

"It's a Mid-state rock that was born hundreds of years ago, so to speak." This was not said by Lin Zaishan, but by Uncle Cui, the godfather of rock and roll in the real sense of China.

As soon as Lin Zaishan said this, all the children, including the white pigeon, were stunned!

"You don't have such an idiot on your face, okay? Rock music can be combined with many types of music, and rock music is a kind of music that is free and can break everything. ”

Lin Zaishan thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, the day after tomorrow, you will first go to see the old-fashioned special show, look at it steadily, don't be impatient to refuse, and feel the folk music of Zhongzhou." If you're feeling a little bit interested in this type of music, try talking to the older artists and see if they'd like to combine it with your rock 'n' roll. I can help you adapt and make a piece of music that combines the old and the modern, the old and the rock, and rehearse it as an encore for your competition. ”

"Is that okay?"

Zhang Hao's jaw was about to fall to the ground in shock!

Can something so old and dirty be combined with rock and roll?

That's an exaggeration!

For Lin Zaishan, this is not an exaggeration, on the other hand, a music team has tried and done it very successfully.

Tan Weiwei's song "Give You a Little Color" seamlessly splices the old Huayin dialect and modern rock, which is very good, and the on-site expressiveness is definitely the level of the bombardment.

At the closing ceremony of the college student art festival full of youth hormones - the finals of the orchestra, if the believer band does such an encore performance, it will definitely shock those college students from all over Minzhou, and take the opportunity to help the old man publicize.

"Daddy, are you serious? Can you do it with rock 'n' roll? "In the afternoon, I watched the whole special performance of the old man, and the white pigeon felt extremely incredible!

"I can try to expand the passage 'his eldest uncle and his second uncle are all his uncles ~ the high tables and low benches are all wood~' to make it a more modern and impactful old song."

"Wow! Dad, you're amazing! I can't wait to see how you make the old guy rock! ”

"I'm not trying to turn the old voice into rock 'n' roll, the old voice has a lot of singing parts, and from an internal level, it's 'rock'. I just want to graft modern rock and old style together, make modern rock more grounded, and make old style more acceptable to you young people. If this kind of music is really made, every note that falls on the ground can emit smoke. "--Lin Zaishan brought over the praise of Liu Huan, another face, which is the master's evaluation." You can look forward to it, this is really done, you can kill the whole audience in seconds! ”

Zhang Hao and the others were very itchy, and they couldn't wait to hear how Lin Zaishan combined the old style and rock 'n' roll.

"Master, the day after tomorrow, we will definitely go to see the special show of the old man! After reading it, I went to talk to Mr. Zhang and asked them about their intention to cooperate. I think Mr. Zhang must be interested in this! If they can perform at the closing ceremony, it will be much better than the promotion effect of the old man by holding a special show! ”

"What Mr. Zhang?" Lin Zaishan was puzzled.

"Don't you know, Lao Yan went to the south to do all kinds of propaganda this time, and the promoter behind it is Mr. Zhang, who is also one of the descendants of the Zheng clan of Lao Yan." Zhang Hao did the stage design for Lao Yan before, and they had communicated with Zhang Jiale, so they knew these things, and they knew Mr. Zhang.

"That's right, that's okay, you can communicate with the old artist. Try to get this to work. Singing the old dialect can make you feel more of the loess atmosphere and Central Plains culture, and the duet "The Sky is Above" is helpful. ”

Lin Zaishan urged again: "You have to get the top three this time, otherwise, if you line up the old-fashioned encore song, you won't have a chance to sing it in the end, it will be too embarrassing." ”

"Haha, don't worry, Master, with you to suppress the formation, what do you talk about the top three or not the top three, our goal is only one - the champion!"

Zhang Hao cheered passionately at several brothers.

"Yay, Champion!"

All five sons of the believer are high.

Lin Zaishan didn't let them slack off, and stared at them until half past nine this night.

Liu Mengmeng later called Lin Zaishan and asked Lin Zaishan to go to have supper and talk about the work arrangements for the next period of time.

Lin Zaishan took the white doves to eat supper together.

Liu Mengmeng and Bai Ge had met before when they were singing at the wedding banquet, and they had met several times, and they were more familiar.

Bai Ge is very grateful to Liu Mengmeng for helping Lin Zaishan contact so many job opportunities, Liu Mengmeng is so desperate to help Lin Zaishan such a "big villain", in Bai Ge's view, this is simply influenced by Mazu, she has a special impression of Liu Mengmeng.

Even though she knew that Lin Zaishan still had a trace of worries about Liu Mengmeng's identity, Bai Ge judged by her own intuition, she felt that Liu Mengmeng was not here to harm Lin Zaishan, Liu Mengmeng was really conquered by Lin Zaishan's music, so she was willing to fight the world with Lin Zaishan. If it were her, she would not follow the treacherous fat man like Ma Xiaodong, but would definitely follow Lin Zaishan.

That night, Liu Mengmeng and Lin Zaishan talked about the five wedding banquets that Lin Zaishan had talked about before the end of October.

"The Strongest Singer-Songwriter" will be broadcast on November 11, and before that, Liu Mengmeng wants to rush to help Lin Zaishan talk about a few more wedding banquets.

To be honest, after the show is broadcast, what kind of social repercussions will Lin Zaishan's comeback cause, Liu Mengmeng does not dare to judge blindly. She was there on the day of the recording, and she knew how awkward it was.

In case after the show is broadcast, there are fewer opportunities for Lin Zaishan to sing the wedding banquet, it will be too depressing. Until then, they can still catch as much as they want.

Lin Zaishan also thinks so. After working with Liu Mengmeng for a while, Lin Zaishan found that this clever little beauty could especially understand his mind. There are many things that he doesn't need to say, Liu Mengmeng can help him think of them, which makes Lin Zaishan very comfortable.

There are some things, Lin Zaishan is also willing to discuss with Liu Mengmeng.

"Caidie Records asked me to go to their company for a meeting the day after tomorrow, do you have any news over there? Are they sure they want me? Lin Zaishan asked Liu Mengmeng.

"I haven't heard anything about that. Actually, I wish they didn't want you, and they would refuse you. ”

The white dove asked in a muffled voice, "Why?" ”

Liu Mengmeng said to Bai Ge: "Caidie's parent company is Guoyu, and they have always attached great importance to the image of the group. Even if the Colorful Butterfly team is forced to accept Mr. Lin, the second round is an intra-team PK match, and it is likely to be done by Mr. Lin. In the second round of PK competition, it is up to the mentor to decide who can advance and who will be eliminated. If they are ruthless and want to eliminate you, Mr. Lin, no matter how good your performance is, you will not be able to escape the result of being eliminated. ”

Bai Ge analyzed: "I used to read gossip and said that the relationship between Caidie and the National Entertainment Group is not very good, and the National Entertainment Group has been developing their lead record company and not giving Caidie too many publicity resources. Now that my dad has joined the Butterfly team, it will be very beneficial to promote the Butterfly Record. If the top management of Caidie can see this, they shouldn't easily eliminate a topic like my dad. ”

"It's a possibility. But I always felt that Mr. Lin's choice of Caidie was too risky. If they refuse to accept you, then the program team can re-record a small clip and send you to another team. ”

"Forget it, I still think Team Butterfly is more suitable for me. It's even worse to join another team. ”

"Alas......" Liu Mengmeng saw Lin Zaishan's attitude, sighed helplessly, and didn't say anything more.

……

October 18th.

Half past eight in the morning.

In the music conference room of Butterfly Records.

Wu Yifan, the general manager and chief producer of the company, got the fax of the theme of the competition just sent by the "Singer-Songwriter" program group, and said with a smile: "These four themes are interesting, who decided them?" ――About yourself, about ideals, imagining small people, and retro style. ”

Guan Yaling also got the theme fax.

These four themes will be the theme setting and style restrictions of the team's intra-team PK match after the preliminary round.

That round of the competition will be in Cantonese.

Each team will play a 1-on-1 PK mode.

The four winners advance directly to the next round, the four defeated singer-songwriters will have another round of PK, the two winners will advance to the next round, and the other two will be eliminated.

From this round onwards, singer-songwriters will be able to create within a limited scope, rather than a freelance writing competition.

The students of the four groups of PK will select the topics they want to PK from these four topics. After that, there is a week of creative time to create the finished Cantonese song and take it to the stage to PK.

The program claims to be a week's creative time, but in fact, in order to ensure the excitement of the program, after they determined the theme, they immediately sent the theme to the four mentors, so that the mentors could guide the contestants to create first, so as to have enough time to make the best works.

Looking at the four themes, Guan Yaling was slightly surprised: "The imagination of the little people - who came up with this theme?" It's too hard! Whoever draws this theme will die! ”

"The program team must be difficult to set the theme, and there are simple, it is impossible to level a bowl of water, so that the contestants can draw it interesting." He Miao is very interested in such a proposition design.

Wu Yifan said: "Look at this proposition, the program team is quite attentive. Not only the content setting, but also the stylized setting. It will be interesting to draw a Cantonese song in a retro style. This option has a lot of room to play around, and it seems easy, but it is really not easy to make a good song that is both retro in melody and beautiful in content that can be accepted by modern people. ”

These four themes seem to be relatively simple about ideals. The retro-style setting has a large creative space, but it is difficult to do it well. The imagination of the little people is definitely the hardest in this. As for the topic of 'about yourself', it is also quite tricky for creators. Who is embarrassed to sing themselves with their works? How big a face does this have to be to do such a thing? Guan Yaling smiled as she spoke. Leave her alone, anyway, I'm embarrassed to sing herself with her works.

Wu Yifan said: "It's good about the theme of himself, Lin Zaishan will come later, just use this theme to let him play and see how he thinks of himself now." ”
