Chapter 256: Spelling Song (I)
Director Huang sat in the front row and center of the stage. When Chen Chufan walked over with his ball, it naturally attracted everyone's attention. Although the name Chen Chufan is still not well-known to the public on Hong Kong Island, it is already a big name within Universal Music. The gossip about him is rotten.
Although there is a lot of gossip, this teenager who likes to carry a strange pet everywhere is still like a mystery to these people in the Global Harbor Island branch. For example, a few months ago, he was just an ordinary student in the mainland, but he somehow got in touch with the senior management of the European and American branches of the world.
Because for a newcomer, especially a newcomer who was just an ordinary student in the mainland not long ago, it is unprecedented to be able to directly get the attention of the vice president who is about to take office. So a lot of people are curious about this newcomer.
Of course, curiosity doesn't mean giving face.
Everywhere, every high-level appointment is indispensable for struggle and compromise. This is especially true in such large multinational companies. You must know that many people here are dissatisfied with the appointment of the vice president of media for the Hong Kong Island branch of Universal Music Headquarters. From Kalman. Walter has been on Hong Kong Island for nearly a week, but he doesn't have many acquaintances at the company to see this.
You must know that Hong Kong Island has been a British colony for more than 100 years, and the people here know a little English, so there is no problem of ji-flow barriers at all.
However, Chen Chufan didn't think about the thoughts of the judges in the audience at all, and when he just came back from country M, his mind was still the phrase "speak with music" by Professor Feith of the Berke College of Music. Chen Chufan felt that using music to speak happened to be what he was best at at this time, and today happened to be speaking with music, so Chen Chufan was extremely confident at this time.
As for whether there will be shady, this question has never flashed in Chen Chufan's head at all. You know, it's Kalman. Walter begged him to go to Hong Kong Island to release an album all day long, not that he was in a hurry to make an appearance in the Chinese music scene. This may be the biggest difference between Chen Chufan and Zhou Jinglun. The realm is different.
Of course he didn't know. Kalman. Walter has also been isolated in disguise. In fact, this is easy to see, but Chen Chufan is too lazy to use his brains in this regard. For example, as soon as Zhou Jinglun entered the room, he was taken by his agent to greet the judges. After Walter entered the door, he was very lonely and found a random place in the corner to sit down, and left Chen Chufan alone.
Therefore, Zhou Jinglun, who was vaccinated by his agent, was also very confident at this time. So when Director Huang asked the two young people standing in front of him about the order of their performances, the two confident young people seemed to be full of care.
Zhou Jinglun spoke first: "This Brother Chen has come to Hong Kong Island thousands of miles away, and he can be regarded as a guest, so naturally let him choose it first." I don't care. ”
Zhou Jinglun, who still had a smile on his face, said very gracefully. Even Chen Chufan, who had just had an argument with him, couldn't help but look at this child surnamed Zhou with admiration. In other words, this requires a lot of acting skills, but it only takes ten minutes before and after to look like two people when facing themselves. Although Chen Chufan has not yet appreciated the music of Zhou Jinglun, in his opinion, it is a waste of his talent to choose to sing instead of filming, and he is simply the best choice for the future actor.
"Okay, then you come first, I'll go later!" Chen Chufan said crisply. Since Zhou Jinglun is so polite. Chen Chufan made a choice very unceremoniously.
And he chose to let Zhou Jinglun play first because he was even a little eager to hear how the guy in front of him, who looked extremely confident, interpreted this rather ancient "Jialan Night Rain".
"Okay, then Jinglun, you should hurry up and go on stage first, the judges still have something to do. The band is ready. Chen Chufan, you wait next to you for a while, and it's time for you to go on stage after Jinglun sings. Director Huang commanded simply.
Although it's just a small competition between two rookie singers within the record company, it's obvious that GA's is very formal, and the curtain is even pulled on the miniature stage. When Director Huang finished speaking, Zhou Jinglun nodded respectfully towards Director Huang. Then he turned his head sideways and gave Chen Chufan a mocking look, and then walked calmly from the side of the stage behind the curtain.
Director Huang watched Zhou Jinglun disappear behind the curtain before standing up and turning around. Facing this audience, he slapped his face, and after attracting everyone's attention to himself, he made a quiet gesture and simply announced: "Everyone, please be quiet, today the battle between Zhou Jinglun and Chen Chufan over the song ownership is about to begin." The first to play was Zhou Jinglun. I hope you will judge carefully. ”
After Director Huang finished speaking, the whole room fell silent. Although Chen Chufan basically didn't know anyone in the audience, except for one Zhang Wenyou. But they are all senior musicians who have been in the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry for some years. Among them are full-time composers, senior managers, producers of the Universal Music Marketing Department, and Zhang Wenyou, a big name who has been praised on the altar of the Chinese music scene. In short, the lineup of judges is luxurious enough, so that it gives enough face to the two newcomers.
Zhou Jinglun didn't let the big-name judges who had quieted down in the field wait long, and the prelude of the band had already sounded. Obviously, this song has undergone some adaptations after selling a Universal Record, such as adding a guitar to the matching instrument and removing the playing part of the guzheng, which made Chen Chufan slightly dissatisfied.
You must know that the arrangement of the guzheng part, but it took him a lot of thought, and it was removed like this, so that Chen Chufan even had the feeling that the whole song had been changed beyond recognition, which also strengthened his determination to include this song in his first Chinese album.
Next up is the singing part. It can be seen that Zhou Jinglun is indeed very well prepared. He even added a rap with a strong sense of rhythm to this song with a strong sense of antiquity. This made Chen Chufan feel extremely weird.
You must know that when Chen Chufan created this song, what he wanted to express was the poignant story in the wild history. Among them, there is the fruitless love of falling in love, the experience of being displaced, the helplessness of seeing through the red dust, and the persistence that cannot be let go, the wars and dynasties of ancient times, the world of good days and the ruthlessness of time fleeting, but this very modern rap has successfully destroyed the artistic conception that the whole song wants to express.
Therefore, in Chen Chufan's opinion, this rap is Zhou Jinglun's biggest failure today, but when Zhou Jinglun sang this rap, he was extremely serious and focused, and even faintly proud. It seems that when he sang the part in the front, his pretended mournful voice, and the feeling of lonely ghosts and ghosts that he successfully sang made him feel too depressed. So the rap at this time can obviously be regarded as a kind of relief to grievances. Of course, the above is Chen Chufan's own understanding.
However, as the original creator of the song, his evaluation of Zhou Jinglun could not be used as the basis for the judges to become today's judges, which made Chen Chufan feel very sad, which also strengthened his determination to perform this song well. Although he is not suitable for judgment, he can use his performance to tell Zhou Jinglun how to sing this song.
Finally, Zhou Jinglun's performance was over, the curtain call began, and the curtain slowly closed. There was also warm applause from the audience. Chen Chufan did not applaud, of course he didn't think it was without grace, but he thought that Zhou Jinglun's singing was not worthy of his applause.
Fortunately, no one cared about these details, and now it was his turn to perform on stage. However, Chen Chufan did not immediately walk on the stage, but turned around and walked to Han Xiaoxi and Ye Siying, who were sitting next to Zhang Wenyou, in full view of everyone.
"Two beauties come on stage with me, today's Chu Fan Band is just short of a pianist and an erhu master." Chen Chufan was quite gentlemanly and made an inviting gesture.
"Are you serious?" Han Xiaoxi's bright eyes looked at Chen Chufan and asked.
Although Chen Chufan just made a very high-profile claim in front of Director Huang, Han Xiaoxi and Ye Siying are the musicians who accompany him today. However, Han Xiaoxi and Ye Siying obviously only thought that this was Chen Chufan's excuse. You must know that it has been more than a month since the last performance at the school, and the three of them have never practiced together again. And before today, Chen Chufan had never mentioned this at all.
"Of course, do you think I'm going to use that band again?" Chen Chufan shook his head and sighed in a low voice.
It's not that he's questioning the level of the band that Universal Records provides, but he doesn't feel like he wants to play on a guitar bass drum set.
"But I didn't bring an erhu!" Han Xiaoxi continued.
"In the morning I talked to Kalman. Walter is going to prepare these instruments, someone has already arranged them, and the original score is ready, just waiting for the two beautiful ladies to take the stage! Chen Chufan smiled and explained that he was not talking nonsense, and directly and boldly stretched out his two hands, grabbing the two girls' soft one by one.
Han Xiaoxi had long been accustomed to Chen Chufan's intimate actions, but Ye Siying seemed a little uncomfortable, but in front of the public, Ye Siying didn't want to play the man's hand and make Chen Chufan lose face. could only stand up with Han Xiaoxi with a red face, let Chen Chufan take her little hand, and walked to the stage not far away.
Holding the two girls with soft and boneless hands, Chen Chufan only felt very proud. In the past few days of contact, he knew that the two girls had never put down practicing this song that the three of them had worked together, and he naturally understood the affection contained in it. This is the reason why he didn't prepare the band immediately when he arrived on Hong Kong Island yesterday, he had already thought of performing on the same stage with the two girls again.
Being able to play the music he composed with the person he likes is of course a very happy thing for Chen Chufan. So when he sat in front of the guzheng that the staff had already prepared on the staff stage, his face was full of happy smiles.
