There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor.

Thank you to the friends who came to the Beyond forum to support me.

It was you who made me feel the beauty of the world again.

Thank you also to the friends who came to the Beyond forum to attack me, your spur will make me better.

It's hard to know yourself in life.

It is our blessing to have friends.

This song "Friends" is given to everyone, and I hope you cherish every friend around you and cherish every sincere friendship around you.

——

I watched Lin Zaishan's forum testimonial when he released a new song, and then listened to Lin Zaishan sing: "Over the years~ alone~ the wind has also passed~ the rain has also gone~ there have been tears~ there are mistakes~ remember what to insist on......"

Many people find it particularly moving.

The melody of this song is catchy, coupled with Lin Zaishan's sincere and mellow singing, there is no show-off performance at all, which makes people feel touched by their hearts when they listen to it for the first time.

Again, the feeling of cherishing friends on the road of life will spread to their own hearts, so that they can feel the warmth of having friends around them from the heart.

And to the ears of professionals, listening to this song is a different feeling.

That afternoon, on Caidie Records, after Guan Yaling listened to this song, she discussed it with Wu Yifan and others: "The melody of Lin Zaishan's new song is very flat, and it is another work that sees the truth in the ordinary. His singing style deliberately added nasal resonance, which made the sound field of this song much thicker, and unconsciously, pressed the emotions expressed in this song into people's hearts. He is very skilled in both his creative and expressive techniques. ”

Zhou Dongliaozan said: "The arrangement of this song is the real skill, and there seem to be very few works in the circle that have this kind of World-Music style arrangement recently. The melody of this song looks very flat, but as soon as it is set off by the arrangement and his singing, the aura of the whole song suddenly becomes bigger. ”

Another producer said: "If the melody of this song can rise and fall a little more, the aura will be even greater." ”

Wu Yifan put forward a different opinion: "What this song wants is this kind of flat melody, if the melody fluctuates too much." Ordinary people can't sing. This kind of song is a heart-to-heart road, hitting the mass market, and the goal is for everyone to sing it. Whether it is the choice of theme or the construction of the melody, this song has the potential to become a KTV golden song. The song is simply sung in a loop in the AB segment. It's even more catchy. Lin Zaishan's lyrics and song design for this song are a bit coincidental. In terms of arrangement, it is carefully crafted to maximize the charm of other vocals. This design is unique. I'm still saying that, this guy is really a demon! ”

Caidie, these producers have all listened to Lin Zaishan's improvisation class, and they are very convinced of Lin Zaishan's unfathomable demon-level creative strength.

Now that the song "Friends" is out, they are even more impressed by Lin Zaishan's superb singing and songwriting strength.

Such a god-level musician. Bumped into their Colorful Butterfly Records, which is really a great luck for their Colorful Butterfly.

Luo Xiaoyan, the vice president of Caidie, is not a professional musician, but she was also very moved after listening to this song "Friend", and she suggested to Wu Yifan: "Go back and talk to Mr. Lin, and include this song "Friend" in his singer-songwriter album." The style of this song is very flattering to the market and can touch almost everyone's heart. This song is about to be included, which will greatly increase the weight of this album. ”

Wu Yifan said: "That's for sure, such a song is the most suitable for releasing an album." Lao Lin lacks nothing now. I lack friends. He made this song "Friend", probably to express the voice of his heart. ”

Zhou Dongliao suggested: "This song. I feel that he has the potential to be the main hitter, and if his album is called "Friends", I think it will sound more intimate than "The Hills" or "A Laugh in the Sea", and the market will be more acceptable. ”

Wu Yifan said bluntly: "It depends on his own meaning." You've all dealt with him and know that he's a very assertive person. For such a musician, we can only give him advice. The final outcome is up to him to decide. ”

Luo Xiaoyan asked again: "Does he have to use his own company to produce this album?" Lao Wu, can you talk to him again, and we Caidie will be responsible for producing this album. We can greatly increase his royalties, and even share the production costs with him. ”

Zhou Dongliao also said: "Yes." Mr. Wu, how good it would be for you to directly produce this album for him. It can be expected that the gold content of his album will be very high, and if we are responsible for the production of Caidie, it will greatly enhance the image of our Caidie in the record market. ”

Of course, Wu Yifan also understands this, the last time they released a blockbuster album was a year ago.

For more than a year, they have not produced too heavy albums, and if Lin Zaishan's album can be produced and released by them, it will be a grand event for Caidie.

But he talked to Lin Zaishan about it before, and Lin Zaishan's attitude was very clear, the album would be produced by his own Beyond company, and he would only talk about distribution cooperation with Caidie.

Although the release of such an album is also a grand event for Colorful Butterfly, it can also increase their influence in the industry. But if they can get the production rights in their hands, it will be of even greater help to their color butterflies, and it may even be possible for their color butterflies to be engraved in the history of the music scene.

Wu Yifan has been in the industry for 30 years and has produced countless best-selling albums, and he has a very keen sense and grasp of the market.

Looking at the current hot broadcast momentum of "Singer-Songwriter" and the boom caused by Lin Zaishan, as long as there are no big accidents in the future, Lin Zaishan's album will definitely be very popular in the record market with the addition effect of the show.

Fans will catch this variety show hot wind and support their favorite contestants.

If this album is released, it may hit the top ten or even top five in annual record sales in the Chinese music scene next year!

If such a blockbuster album can be fully produced and released by Caidie Records, it will make Caidie completely proud in front of the parent company of Guoyu.

has been pressed by those singing and dancing artists of national entertainment for many years, and has never turned over, Caidie needs such a chance to turn over too much.

Wu Yifan pondered this afternoon, asking Lin Zaishan to have dinner, and then explore the cooperation with Lin Zaishan.

……

This afternoon, after the release of a new song on the Beyond forum. Lin Zaishan was not idle, he recorded the full version of "The Sea and the Sky" in the company's studio, accompanied by the believer band.

This weekend, the semi-finals of "Singer-Songwriter" will be broadcast, and the two blockbuster songs "A Laugh in the Sea" and "The Sea and the Sky" will meet everyone.

When the time comes. Big music websites will definitely pick up the TV audio of these two songs for netizens to listen to and download.

Instead of letting others make the live version of these two songs, he might as well record the perfect release version himself, publish it on the Beyond forum, and then help the Beyond forum rush to a wave of popularity.

At the same time, at this weekend's show, he will perform in a T-shirt printed with the address of the Beyond Forum, and the website of the Beyond Forum will appear in front of a national audience for the first time, which will be of great help to the popularity of the forum.

Sun Yuzhen has already watched the full version of this episode of the show, in order not to let colleagues in the advertising department find fault. The three groups of their artists deliberately smashed Lin Zaishan's back shot with advertising intentions, and made 2 2-second and 3 1-second short shots respectively to help Lin Zaishan fight invisible product placement ads to the greatest extent.

Park Daesung promised to give Lin Jae-shan a short advertisement of more than 4 seconds, because Lin Jae-shan's performance in this episode of the show is so good, in order to express his gratitude, Park Dae-sung instructed the program team to give a 7-second advertisement to the Beyond forum. This is the biggest feedback to Lin Zaishan.

According to Sun Yuzhen's words, as long as it is an audience with a little heart. I will definitely be able to remember the advertising address behind Lin Zaishan.

Lin Zaishan is now looking forward to seeing how effective advertising on TV will be for the promotion of the Beyond forum.

Actually, the first music. It has been very helpful for the increase in the popularity of the Beyond forum.

On this day, "Friends" was first released, and the number of members of the music area activities on the Beyond forum was obviously many times higher than before.

At the time of the 12 o'clock launch, the number of online members of the Beyond forum reached a recent peak of 6,603!

After the release, within half an hour, the number of preview downloads of the song exceeded 8,000 people!

That's hundreds of times more than the number of downloads from just a few dozen people in the previous two days!

Visible, on this forum. There are still many people who pay attention to Lin Zaishan's music.

However, Lin Zaishan usually does not release new songs, and the enthusiasm of these music fans to discuss on the forum is obviously not high enough, which also makes the development of the forum form a certain bottleneck.

In the eyes of the development team, this is a normal phenomenon, waiting for the membership base of the forum to increase significantly. Naturally, the forum will become very popular.

Their top priority now is to make the Beyond Forum famous first, so that more people know about the Beyond Forum and are willing to register on the Beyond Forum.

After the release of "Friends", the number of registered members of the Beyond forum successfully exceeded 30,000.

It is expected that this weekend, "The Sea and the Sky" and "A Laugh in the Sea" will be launched on the forum, and Lin Zaishan will broadcast the product placement on the "Singer-Songwriter" program, which will make the popularity of the BEYOND forum and the number of member registrations to a higher level.

……

After recording the song that afternoon, several of the believer's children went back to school, while Lin Zaishan stayed in the company and held a meeting with Lu Dong and others to discuss the future development of the company.

For the Beyond Forum, they have set an initial goal - to make the number of registered members of the Beyond Forum exceed 100,000 by the end of the year. Around the Spring Festival next year, we will strive to exceed 300,000 valid registered members, so that Beyond will become a large-scale professional forum that has begun to take shape.

After this meeting, Lin Zaishan personally went to the forum to communicate with everyone for a while.

He likes to show his face on the forum when he is okay now, helping to increase the popularity of the forum.

He knew that many music fans in the music area came to this forum for him, and some of them came to scold him, for these people, Lin Zaishan smiled and didn't take it to heart.

And for those who sincerely like music and are willing to discuss music, Lin Zaishan loves to reply to them and exchange his experience in making music with everyone.

The posts he replies to are generally posts with technical content, and he never participates in posts that blow water.

He likes to communicate with professional musicians, and at the same time, he likes to answer the questions of new music fans, and is willing to lead these friends into the door of music.

It's like this afternoon. He saw a post made by a newcomer fan on the forum, as well as the replies of other members below, which was quite interesting, and he also participated in the discussion.

The newcomer fan posted a question: "What is the difference between ordinary music fans listening to songs and music learners?" I've been learning guitar lately, and my guitar teacher always says that what he hears is different from what I hear. I don't understand, is the music heard by professionals and ordinary people really different? Will they focus more on the sound of certain instruments? Or more focused on high and low tones? Concerned about the singer's singing skills and emotional expression? ”

A rock fan at the bottom gave him an answer:

——

If you want to practice guitar. You should pay more attention to the sound of the guitar in the song and not just the singer's singing. Listening to a song, you'll first hear the strumming of the acoustic guitar, break it down, and then hear some obvious strumming techniques.

When you form a band and play the electric guitar, you will find that many of the sounds that come out of the instrument that you don't know are created by the guitar, distortion, frog sounds, and delays...... The effect is ever-changing,

Playing in the band for a long time. You'll be able to tell the difference between a kick, a tom, and a snare drum for a drum kit and a bass. You will be able to tell the difference between the sound of the lead acoustic Solo and the keyboard, which will feel like the same sound to the average person.

After gradually accumulating a certain amount of experience, when you rehearse again, someone's chord is a little wrong, the rhythm is stuck a little beat before and after, and the lead singer is not in tune. You can hear it.

Then, you put on good headphones and listen to the songs you used to listen to. You will discover how wonderful and vast the ocean of music is, and we, like Newton, are just picking up shells.

Lin Zaishan used the forum's like function to give a thumbs up to this fan's answer, and he felt that this amateur rocker said it very well.

There is also a student member who studies music to answer the landlord:

——

I'm a recording art major. I am in the same department as us, and I guess I am all making music. However, the angle from which we listen to music is completely different.

To say the simplest, a recording student. What I pay attention to is whether there are many vocal fixes in this song, which parts are recorded several times instead of in one go, whether the accompaniment is used in computer timbre or real instruments, whether it is sung in the recording studio or in other occasions, and when post-processing, the proportion of compression is large, etc.

In the words of my family, people who study our profession, listening to music is not fun at all, they are all thinking from a technical level, to take the simplest example, since I entered the university, every year at the New Year's Day party, I tell my mother while playing games, who is the fake singer, who is the real singer.

And those who study music production, that is, those who learn to arrange, they will listen to how a song is accompanied, what tone is used, or what real instrument is used to accompani it. They listen more from the perspective of composition and arrangement technology, and the harmony, orchestration, and melody direction will have a heavy attention. In their ears, a song is split, what each instrument is playing, what is the level of playing, they listen to it layer by layer, and judge from this, what is the level of production of the song.

Because the profession is related to music, when our ears listen to music, we are destined to pay attention to more things that ordinary music fans will not pay attention to, but this does not prevent us from being ordinary music lovers, we are also ordinary people, and we also have our own music that we like to listen to.

Especially Uncle Lin's music, whether you listen to it from a professional point of view or from the perspective of ordinary music fans, it is very good!

——

For such a post, Lin Zaishan naturally wants to give him a thumbs up. Although this guy had the intention of patting him on the back in the end, he was really comfortable watching others praise him!

Here's a very simple answer from a female music fan:

——

From my personal experience, it goes like this:

Before I learned music: he is so handsome, and his songs are so good!

When I grew up: the song is good to listen to, expressing xx's emotions.

After learning music: I used XX chords and XX techniques

Now: XX chords and XX techniques are used to express xx emotions, and the music is so beautiful!

I don't know if anyone is like me!

——

After reading the female fan's answer, Lin Zaishan smiled lightly and gave the female fan a thumbs up.

Looking down further, the "golden hoop stick" came up again, and replied to the post vividly and humorously:

——

Lead singer: He used mixed sound and wow here~ This section is really good~

Guitar: I'm going? What is the sound of this effect? I want it too~

The drummer instantly followed the music and pulled the drum part off the air.

The keypad for the compilation paid attention to the song's harmonic treatment, orchestration, and melodic dynamics.

Bess said, "Well, do you have smoke?"

——

See the "Golden Hoop Stick" ignoring the band's bassist. Lin Zaishan smiled knowingly.

This "golden hoop stick" has been very active in the discussion forum recently, and you can almost see TA in any post.

Sometimes they write long speeches, sometimes they send simple comments.

Listening to his tone, sometimes he seems very professional, and sometimes he looks like a child.

The text of TA's posts is also very divisive, sometimes in simplified characters. Sometimes it is written in traditional Chinese characters.

For long-winded or professional posts on one side, TA is posted in simplified Chinese; A naughty reply, just like the humorous type above, TA will be sent in traditional Chinese characters, which looks very freewheeling.

Lin Zaishan is quite curious about this buddy.

Generally, people who post and speak in traditional Chinese characters on the Internet are netizens from Cantonese-speaking areas.

Lin Zaishan asked Lu Dong to check the landing IP of this "Golden Hoop Stick", wanting to see if the other party was a netizen in the Cantonese-speaking area, but the result of the query turned out to be very divided.

The IP of this golden hoop stick is different every time it lands on the forum, sometimes in China. Sometimes in foreign countries, there is no fixed IP at all.

According to Lu Dong's words, this eighty percent is a hacker, and every time he logs in, he will jump to hide his real IP. If Lin Zaishan really wants to check the real login address of TA, their network team can track this "golden hoop stick".

Lin Zaishan didn't think it was necessary, he just felt that the enthusiasm of this golden hoop stick was very high, and this person was very interesting. He hopes that there will be more members at the forum who are both enthusiastic and humorous, as well as professional and theoretical.

Regarding the question raised by this newcomer netizen, Lin Zaishan also immediately followed a post under the reply of the golden hoop stick:

……

Ordinary people listen to music: "What is the feeling and association that this music gives me?" ”

People who study music listen to music: "What is this music?" ”

Speak further. Musicians listen more than the music itself. It's the composition of the music itself.

Singing majors may be listening to performance, singing techniques, and musical processing, while composition majors are listening to the various structures of music (harmony, texture, material development, orchestration, structure, etc.).

People who study music, or who are trained in music, can master more vocabulary, more ways of constructing it, which expands their comprehension at the same time. It also makes them put forward higher requirements for their musical works.

Ordinary music fans and professional musicians have different expectations for music, and the way their expectations are met will naturally be different.

……

Within 10 seconds of Lin Zaishan sending out the post, a prompt for a beating like appeared in the lower right corner of the reply, and it was no one else who liked it. It is the "golden hoop stick".

After the golden hoop stick liked it, he immediately sent a private message to Lin Zaishan: "Uncle Lin, are you online?" I want to ask you, what is the background sound in the prelude to your song "Friends"? I've heard it almost 100 times, and I can't make out what the hell those people are saying. All I heard was one Cantonese phrase, as if to say, 'Playing electric with me?' ’”

Seeing the private message of the golden hoop stick, Lin Zaishan smiled, thinking that this person was quite persistent, in order to hear it clearly, he actually listened to the prelude almost 100 times, and he didn't know if it was true.

He replied to the other party: "Your ears are quite smart, in this prelude, I mixed a few vocals, and there is no special meaning." You're sensitive to Cantonese, you're from Cantonese, right? ”

"Yes, I'm from Canton. But I always speak Mandarin. I love both Cantonese and Chinese songs. ”

"You can look forward to the Cantonese special session of "Singer-Songwriter" this weekend, when the Beyond Forum will debut my Cantonese work."

"Well, I'll come to the forum for the first time to listen to and download it."

The golden hoop stick followed up with another private message: "I like your music very much, Uncle Lin, I also appreciate your prodigal son's life, I want to make friends with you." ”

"Aren't we friends now, friends who like to listen to this song "Friends" are all my friends. If you have any music questions, you can always send me a private message on the forum, and we will discuss it together. ”

"Okay, Uncle Lin, you have to come on! You have an album, I will definitely buy it, support you! ”

"Thank you."

Looking at the simple words of support of the golden hoop stick, Lin Zaishan was very relieved.

Many students of Dongyi University are also very supportive of him, and these students are the most simple and lovely people in his eyes.

"Bell bell bell—"

The mobile phone rang, it was Wu Yifan calling.

Wu Yifan asked Lin to have a light meal in the evening in the mountain and talk about cooperation.

This night, Lin Zaishan took Liu Mengmeng to have dinner with Wu Yifan.

Liu Mengmeng has now resigned from Ma Xiaodong, concentrating on the work of Lin Zaishan's agent and assistant, and many of the cooperation between Lin Zaishan and Caidie will be handled by Liu Mengmeng in the future. Therefore, Lin Zaishan introduced Liu Mengmeng to Wu Yifan in advance, so that it would be convenient to communicate in the future.

It's good to die, Ma Xiaodong also came to the restaurant where Lin Zaishan and Wu Yifan had dinner this night.

Lin Zaishan and Wu Yifan were eating in the private room, and when the waiter opened the door, Ma Xiaodong happened to pass by this private room, and when he swept the afterglow, he swept Liu Mengmeng's long legs in fishnet stockings.

Looking at the two men sitting next to the square table, one is Wu Yifan, and the other is Lin Zaishan! (To be continued.) )
