Rock and roll has a growth vein. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Beatles of the sixties were an era of continuity. In the 70s, there was a wave of punk, and buying a guitar to play two chords became a fashion for young people, spreading the rock singer-songwriter crowd, and this led to the bloom of the 80s.

After that, rock 'n' roll died, and the commercial-seeking pop genre and disco swallowed it up, and it rose.

Every pop song is like a fruit on a huge plant, absorbing the genes of countless predecessors in the branches, and you can even follow the vein to find out what styles and predecessors the author was influenced by.

And for Tomoya Shimizu, this night was like a dream, a rock that was completely unaware of its origin, and it smashed into his brain so defenselessly.

The aftermath lingered for a long time.

Sleepless nights.

The next day.

In the office of the head office of Sony Records.

Minister Goto was a little older and had some insomnia, so he came to his office before the company officially clocked in to work. At this time, he was holding a cup of tea, facing the rising sun, observing the ant-like creatures on the ground under his feet.

Although he was transferred from the headquarters to the branch, he did not have any complaints. If all goes well, the head of the headquarters will have much more power than the headquarters.

With a bang, Shimizu Zhi also had deep dark circles under his eyes and slammed the door open:

"Minister! No matter what the cost, we must find out this singer! ”

Minister Goto Honto hurriedly put down the teacup, Shimizu Tomoya is also a celebrity in front of the headquarters, and if the investment plan is approved, the record company will immediately become the focus of the whole group.

"Don't worry, what are you talking about?"

"I've found a superstar! Definitely the next superstar! Trust me, Minister! I won't lie to you! ”

"Huh? Just got out of the meeting yesterday and found a new superstar today? ”

Shimizu Tomoya's eyes were red, and the clothes he wore yesterday were the same as those he wore yesterday, crumpled on his body. He grabbed the other man's arm:

"It's true! We must find him before our competitors find him! Sign him! No matter how much money you spend, you don't hesitate! He is concerned about the fate of Sony for the next 20 years, and there is no room for error! ”

Minister Goto smacked his tongue and said, "It's really fake, it's really so powerful?" ”

"Really! And definitely save money compared to Elvis Presley and The Beatles! We need him! ”

"Don't worry, Sony doesn't have anything else, it's rich." Minister Goto pressed Tomoya Shimizu, "If it's really as good as you say, it should be a singer who has already signed a record company, right?" I'm going to send someone to dig him up!" Where did you see him? What's the clue? ”

Shimizu Tomoya also took a deep breath: "I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape...... It was last night, on the platform of the tram. The climax of the lyrics is 'I want to say I love you out loud'......"

"Wait," Minister Goto frowned, "this is Japanese rock?" ”

"Yes."

"Haven't we already reached a consensus?" Minister Goto said with some displeasure, "RB can't produce good rock music at all. Not for at least ten years! That's why we need to sign superstars abroad! ”

"Am I wrong? Maybe the other party is like me, who has studied abroad? Shimizu Tomoya shook the minister's arm and became excited again, "That's a style I've never heard of, that's a peerless genius!" ”

Come on, he shook his head, only maggots could grow in the dung pit. If RB wants to have a good rock, then he has to cover the manure pit for a few years and ferment it into a biogas digester.

Minister Goto picked up some of the cold tea on the table and took a sip. Young people are still unreliable, don't look at the loud shouts yesterday, they changed their hexagrams overnight.

After thinking about it, I still didn't have a rod to fight back. He reassured, "Okay. I'll help you find him, Tomoya, you've at least seen his face, right? ”

"The other party has been playing the guitar with his head down, and his hair is a little long......" Shimizu Tomoya also felt that he was a little unreliable, thought about it, and said, "He is wearing a windbreaker, high-waisted jeans, a plaid scarf, black-rimmed glasses, a suitcase in tow, and a very cheap guitar ......"

"That's all?" Minister Goto was speechless, "Just rely on your description...... The 'Soni Festival' every night is full of people like this. How can I find it? ”

Suddenly remembering something, Shimizu Tomoya patted his head: "By the way, I recorded his song!" ”

With that, he ran out of the door with a roar, and returned a moment later, the "portable" cassette recorder in his hand.

"Isn't this a new development in the electrical sector? How did you have this? ”

"It was the director who asked me to try it out yesterday!"

Minister Goto is a little suspicious, such a coincidence? It can't be a conspiracy by some director who wants to meddle in the record department, right?

Thinking about it, Shimizu Tomoya put a tape the size of a book into the machine, pressed the switch, and after a while, there was a loud wind blowing in the machine.

Immediately afterwards, there was a very heavy breathing sound, and then there was a "hum~hum~hum~" sound that was out of tune to the Arctic Ocean.

"What is this?" Minister Goto felt that his ears had been abused.

"I'm so sorry, I was so excited to hear the singer sing, I forgot to record it." Shimizu Tomoya said guiltily, "This is what I hummed myself, and the tune was still in my head at that time...... You should hear it! I've never heard this tune before, it's definitely a whole new realm, it's superstar style! ”

Most people who have no professional training in music are like this, singing along to the tune, feeling that they are simply invincible and talented, and when they take it out and listen to it alone, they want to make people poke their ears.

Shimizu Zhi also fell into such a situation, and he was intoxicated by the messy humming sound, and when it came to the "cray_for_you" section, he shook his head violently, immersed in the music in his head, as if he was back on the dreamy platform.

Minister Goto sighed, watching his right-hand man fall into this situation, and shook his head helplessly.

Fortunately, Sony is a super large company, which is the benefit of having a lot of talents, and one stinker and three Zhuge Liang have everything. He instructed his secretary to find a few composers who had signed a contract.

In a short time, several composers entered the office. Tomoya Shimizu hummed and proofread, the composers revised the score, and several people worked together to restore any piece of tune into a score.

Two hours later, Minister Goto got the score in his hands, and without any hesitation, he faxed the score to JASRAC (RB Music Copyright Society) for registration.

Moments later, the message came back with "Already registered. ”

Minister Goto frowned, "tsk", I wanted to steal chickens, but I didn't expect that the other party was not a rookie, so he registered the copyright early.

Now singers are getting harder and harder to deceive, he sighed, people's hearts are not ancient, singers have become cunning, how can we live as pure capitalists.

He found another singer, played it with the guitar according to the score, nodded, the song sounds very good, but this thing, how can I not see that there is a superstar atmosphere?

Is there something wrong with Tomoya Shimizu's taste?

"Tomoya, are you too tired? There is some time left before the implementation of the plan, so you should go and rest for a few days. Minister Goto said euphemistically.

"No, Minister Hon, it's a matter of the level of the person who plays the guitar...... No, no, there is a problem with the equipment...... In short, it doesn't feel right, it doesn't show the essence of this song at all! Shimizu Tomoya said incoherently.

In fact, it is that they do not understand the development of rock and roll.

The sixties were marked by the Beatles, and rock music was dominated by vocals, supplemented by equipment. And the Beatles alone walked the road eighty percent.

Countless geniuses, in order to find another way, gradually set their sights on the equipment effect sound, little by little to increase the proportion of equipment, the hardcore in the eighties, heavy metal is the representative of this trend of thought, especially heavy metal, the vocals are also regarded as a kind of equipment soundtrack, so that has that unique flavor.

Using different equipment, the effect of the same score can be very different, and this line has even become a very professional profession, called - arrangement.

Not every author knows how to arrange, and many times it is a professional to be hired. But in the sixties, the arrangement was more like a vassal of composition, and the status of the two was simply the difference between ice cream and ice cream sticks.

Without an experienced arrangement, you can vomit blood with an acoustic guitar, and you can't show the flavor of rock and roll.

Minister Goto looked at poor Baba's subordinates, but still didn't hit him.

Now the only clue is JASRAC. Goto asked the secretary to inquire again, got more detailed public information, and then frowned.

This author is really strict enough to protect, "playing", "recording", "publishing", "filming", "covering", ...... and so on, all the transfer of postpaid rights and interests is prohibited.

In other words, anyone who wants to use this piece for any commercial use can't do it, and the author doesn't give permission at all!

In a cold tone, he instructed the secretary: "Tell JASRAC that if they still want to continue to cooperate with Sony, then tell me the information of the registrant." ”

A large company has the confidence of a large company, and there is no need to talk to this kind of vassal organization, just give orders.

After a while, the other party obediently faxed the registrant's information.

After just one glance, the minister decided that it was a fake name. The owner is called Li Shanhe, registered in Hong Kong......

China is a place that rocks and rolls even more desert than RB! How can there be such music!

JASRAC's management is too loose!

"You saw it too, Tomoya, I can't help you anymore." Minister Goto sighed, actually a little happy in his heart.

Shimizu Tomoya also knocked his head hard to recall, and suddenly shouted: "By the way, I still have one of his paddles here!" ”

Minister Goto looked at the paddle, and on the front was a flowered English letter L...... What kind of clue is this?

Shimizu-kun, it's not that I don't want to help you...... You're so unreliable this time!

At this time, the secretary who was moving documents back and forth said "Huh" and said, "L's paddle? I happen to know such a person? ”

Shimizu Tomoya turned his head sharply, "Where else?" Tell me! ”

The secretary was a little frightened, and subconsciously said: "Ah, every few afternoons, there is a singer singing in front of the café on the nearby flyover, and if you ask for an autograph, you will receive a paddle like this......"

Before the words fell, Shimizu Zhi rushed out of the office like a whirlwind.

Minister Goto shook his head, young man, it's just not reliable enough.

He put on his coat and was about to follow, when he suddenly received a call from the president's office, saying that an emergency meeting was going to be held, and he was to attend.

An emergency meeting? How at this time?

When they arrived at the president's office, the president's secretary distributed the documents to the ministers and said:

"At yesterday's meeting, the headquarters was very satisfied, but thought that it was still necessary to look for available talents in the country. Shouldn't we have an event like a singing contest? ”

Everyone set their eyes on Minister Gotomoto, and everyone knew that Shimizu was also his subordinate.

Minister Goto Hon: "President, this is not good, rock and roll does not have much audience base in RB, and it is not sure how many singers can come, it is easy to become a joke on TV, and the quality of singers is not bad, but it will weaken the image of rock music." ”

"Well, that makes sense." The president nodded, "Then let's hold a small one, right at the doorstep, as many as you want." It won't cost millions anyway. ”

Minister Goto wanted to say something, but the president coughed and said, "This is a direct order from the board of directors." All the results are reviewed by a special committee member appointed by the Board of Directors, do you understand? ”

It turned out to be an internal decision?

Minister Goto was stunned and hurriedly bowed: "I'm sorry for your trouble." Leave everything to me! ”

After the others bowed, they left in turn. Minister Goto looked at the order document of the headquarters and shook his head, this kid Tomoya Shimizu was really born a lucky star, and he wanted to sign a domestic singer, so the headquarters gave an order to hold a small competition......

Hey, it's really more popular than people......
