Chapter Ninety-Eight: Creating a New "Hills"
At seven o'clock in the morning, Xi Qing had already gotten up.
Blue and white porcelain won the championship of China's original music base, and more than 100 emails in his mailbox have accumulated at this time.
All of them are olive branches from some entertainment media companies or music companies.
However, Xi Qing felt untouched after reading a few letters.
The content is all the same, some companies said that they wanted to buy all the copyrights of the song, and even offered a sky-high price of 150,000 yuan.
A song can sell for hundreds of thousands, and the other party's sincerity is there. But the works adapted by Xi Qing and Teacher Leopard are like their own children, how can Xi Qing sell them.
There are also those who propose to transfer part of the copyright, Xi Qing is still the ultimate owner of the copyright, and the income is not bad, when the blue and white porcelain is performed for their commercial purposes, Xi Qing will get a return of varying amounts.
Besides, they simply want to sign Xi Qing and train him as a rookie singer, threatening to release an album for Xi Qing within two months and become a hot new star in the singing industry.
The blueprint is very well described, and the ambition outlines a beautiful picture for you, but Xi Qing can't be excited.
In Xi Qing's mind now, he wants to learn the performance of the matouqin and erhu more and more.
In the field of music, Xi Qing has his own plan, just like Qin Xuan said, debuted as a folk singer, silently came up with good folk songs, and amazed the world.
Folk songs, naturally, are not simply humming the kind of lazy, decadent, light, or romantic tunes, but require you to perform with a variety of folk style instruments.
Which successful folk singer has not mastered a variety of musical instruments, horizontal flute, recorder, erhu, guzheng, pipa, although he does not know every one, there are two or three things in hand, and he always does not lose the title of folk singer.
Xi Qing has already thought about the second song he wants to release.
This song is also a song that Xi Qing likes very much, from the hills of teacher Li Zongsheng.
Although the song was relegated to the category of pop music in the untampered music world, it won the "Best Song of the Year" and "Best Single" awards at the 25th Pop Music Festival. But because of the title of his song and even the melody of the whole song, there is a kind of sadness, sadness, and simplicity and naturalness.
Xi Qing felt that he was actually very close to traditional folk songs, and this song was included in his own folk series, in fact, there would be a lot of sparks.
In addition, Xi Qing wanted to sing this song at this juncture, because he saw that there were already people on the Internet saying that this Qingbai was a little boy who was ignorant of the world, and netizens set Qingbai's age at under twenty-five years old.
This is not good for the continued concealment of his identity, Xi Qing felt that he was about to leak his identity, so he had to come up with an experienced and vicissitudes of song at this time to confuse netizens.
Yes, the song Hill is a song with a sense of age and depth, and it is also a work that can only be created by singers who have experienced life.
This song urges young people, telling them that they will be tired if they ask for too much in their lives, and that in the end it will be empty, it is better to go down-to-earth and climb the hills, we can just enjoy them, maybe there is no scenery on the other side of the hills, and there is no one waiting at all.
Teacher Li Zongsheng can be said to be a leading figure in the music world, Xi Qing watched Li Zongsheng's lecture video at the Beijing Modern Music Academy, when a young man asked Li Zongsheng, why after entering the 21st century, there are almost no classic music works that can withstand the baptism of time like before the 90s?
Like Bob Dylan's BlowingintheWind, like MJ's BeatIt, like GunsN' Roses' NovemberRain.
Like Beatles' YesterDay, like Eric Clapton's TearsinHeaven, like Eagles' HotelCalifornia, like PinkFloyd's Mother.
domestic, like Luo Dayou's "Your Look", like Gao Xiaosong's "The Brother Who Sleeps on My Top Bunk", like Tang Dynasty Band's "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", like Black Panther Band's "No Land Self-Containment", like Cui Jian's "A Red Cloth".
Li Zongsheng also said the reason, the current music is no longer music, but only the background music of the artist.
The agency first selects an artist with publicity points, and then negotiates some brand endorsements for him, and designs his "career route" for him according to the characteristics and temperament of this artist.
After that, he will find a professional music creation and production team to tailor some songs for this artist to sing for him, but they must be in line with the company's previous publicity for him
So in this era, music is just the soundtrack behind the artist, and a lot of music is no longer art. More and more people are learning music, and the ability to "write songs" has lost its past aura, and it is no longer fresh, and even everyone has entered an era of writing songs for all.
However, in the process of writing songs, many people do not have such high requirements for the songs themselves, and they seem to have forgotten the four elements needed to write popular songs.
i.e. words, rhythm, harmony, and melody. The songs they write are just a record of their emotions.
In the video, Li Zongsheng suggested that the younger generation of creators start with folk songs, and also put forward three conditions to be met: a musical instrument (guitar or keyboard), a throat and a story.
He also said that there are too few young people who can calm down and practice a musical instrument well, and there are many who have a good throat, but the most important thing is the last point: a story.
To write a song that can move people, the key is to have a story.
Xi Qing remembered the words of Mr. Li Zongsheng from that time, and was even more inspired by Mr. Li Zongsheng, who knew that he first needed to learn a good instrument, and then when creating, he must find a good story.
For example, the lilac flower is on fire because of the story, and the blue and white porcelain is on fire because of the story. And the hills will be on fire, and it will also be because of the story.
Xi Qing's story doesn't want to be completely according to Li Zongsheng, after all, it is the life perception of a person who is over half a hundred years old, and he will modify the lyrics in it, of course, Xi Qing will also make some adjustments in the instrument to weaken the thickness of this hill, and return to the perception of a forty-year-old middle-aged man.
The song of the hills uses guitar, drums, electric guitar, piano, triangle (a rhythmic percussion instrument) and other instruments.
Xi Qing wanted to make a slight adaptation of Mr. Li Zongsheng's song on the hills, and the part of the change, Xi Qing hoped to add the performance of the matouqin and erhu to the composition, as an ethereal tossing and turning sound like echoing in the valley, so that the song had a little new feeling.
However, Xi Qing probably won't learn Hu Yanbin's style, and wiped out the original flavor of the song and turned it into a featureless RB song like pop music.
Xi Qing attaches great importance to the release of his second song Hill in the strict sense, and is even more looking forward to the study of erhu and matouqin. I called Teacher Leopard, and Teacher Leopard said that he would try to help Xi Qing make an appointment with the teacher today.
