After a night without words, Jiang Lin got up early the next morning, because of such a special day as recording, the whole person exuded a refreshing feeling of pleasure from the inside out.

"Try! Struggle! Standing on the balcony with his hands on his hips and shouting twice, Jiang Lin turned around and went out, starting today, his entertainment life will enter a new stage.

"Jiang Lin, take a look at this." After converging Su Chang and the four girls into the recording studio, as soon as he saw Jiang Lin, Ji Chengshan immediately shouted excitedly, and while speaking, he came to him and handed over the magazine in his hand.

"What, so happy." Jiang Lin took the magazine with a smile, and when he saw the cover, he suddenly had a guess in his heart.

The magazine is nothing else, it is the largest circulation in China, recognized as the most authoritative music magazine "The Sound of Music", belongs to the monthly magazine, each issue has a circulation of more than 1 million copies, popular with music lovers, the content is mainly Chinese music, the style is not limited, pop, rock, jazz, nationality, and related to Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, the purpose of the magazine is to recommend the latest good songs, in-depth analysis of global music creation.

Looking at "The Sound of Music", the most admired is the music review written by Chen Haizhou, when it comes to Chen Haizhou, ordinary people don't know much, but in the music circle, he is a big name, originally as a producer, he did not achieve too good results in the position of producer, until he left the post of producer, devoted himself to the profession of music critic, and then began to shine.

With his vicious vision, spicy evaluation, and objective stance, Chen Haizhou was quickly recognized by the industry, and since then, he has become the most authoritative music critic in China through "The Sound of Music", highly respected by music lovers, and the music reviews written by him have gradually become a popular indicator with super appeal.

This undoubtedly makes record companies love and hate, the price of each issue of "The Sound of Music" is 8 yuan, the price is much higher than that of ordinary gossip entertainment weekly, and therefore, the loyal readers of "The Sound of Music" have strong consumption power, and are generally buyers of genuine albums, as the popular indicator of "The Sound of Music", the influence of Chen Haizhou's music criticism can be imagined, and the love is that all the albums appreciated by Chen Haizhou have increased their sales significantly, and they hate the worthless albums that were criticized by him, and they will lose potential purchases from readers of "The Sound of Music". In a sense, the readers of "The Sound of Music" rarely chase stars, and pursue pure good music.

What makes the record companies hate it but helpless is that in terms of music criticism, Chen Haizhou has no favors to talk about, good is good, bad is bad, someone offered a high price to ask him to give the album a few good words, and was immediately blown away.

In each issue of "The Sound of Music", Chen Haizhou will comment on some new albums released that month, which can make Ji Chengshan so happy, and he doesn't have to think about it to know that "That Summer" must be praised by Chen Haizhou.

What would be the evaluation? Jiang Lin suddenly had a strong sense of anticipation in his heart, and he couldn't wait to look at the place where Ji Chengshan had opened.

The music review of "That Summer" has a very simple title, but what is surprising is that Chen Haizhou actually used two separate pages to comment on the album.

"It's hard to imagine that in the domestic music scene, a young man who was only 18 years old would produce what kind of album would be produced, with the advent of "That Summer", a suspicion with a negative attitude can be suddenly relieved, and the facts have once again proved that you should never use the logic of ordinary people to measure genius."

This is the beginning of Chen Haizhou's music review, like countless media magazines, focusing on Jiang Lin's age, 18 years old, it is difficult to think about such an age without being eye-catching, and it is also the source of all doubts.

A few months before that, Jiang Lin, who was only 17 years old at the time, handed over two eye-catching works, "Loyal to the Country" and "The Bride is Not Me", especially "Loyal to the Country", which was unanimously praised in major music magazines, and the magnificent momentum is rare.

At that time, no one knew that the creator was a young man who was only 17 years old, and after Jiang Lin's age was revealed, his musical talent was doubted, yes, there is never a shortage of inspiration in this world, and serving as the album producer pushed him to the forefront, but in the album "That Summer", Jiang Lin single-handedly handled the composition and lyrics of all the songs, and also participated in the arrangement, chorus, choreography and other links, fully demonstrating his all-round musical talent, in pop, campus ballads, lyrical slow songs, Fast song and dance music is easy to master in all styles.

Of course, only good songs are not enough, you also need to meet the right singer, Li Man is undoubtedly such a singer, Jiang Lin, as a producer, fully excavated the charm of Li Man's voice with ten good songs, and Li Man also used his voice charm to make "That Summer" an album not to be missed.

The first song of the album "Bad Sister", the lyrics part is very vulgar, full of a strong sense of emerging Internet style, but it is undeniable that the song itself is charming, Li Man fully interprets the feeling of the playful bad sister next door, which is heart-pounding, and I will give a two-and-a-half-star evaluation when I talk about the song alone, but who makes this song have an eye-catching and brilliant MV, three stars is my final score. ”

In order to give readers an intuitive feeling, Chen Haizhou introduced a five-star system in music reviews to rate songs and albums, with one star being mediocre, two stars passing, three stars being good, four stars being excellent, and five stars being excellent.

Among them, the evaluation of the song is limited to the song itself, from the melody, lyrics, arrangement, timbre, to whether it is pleasant to the ear in terms of senses, whether it touches people's hearts in terms of emotion, and whether it is enlightening and thought-provoking in terms of thought.

The evaluation of the album will take into account the theme and originality, and in Chen Haizhou's previous music reviews, Samsung is already a good evaluation.

"The second song of the album, "The Quiet Sea That Summer", has excellent lyrics and songs, and the whole song describes the happy scene of recalling the seaside that summer and then feeling lost, fully showing Li Man's sweet and pure voice, just like the title of the song, it makes people sound very comfortable and moving, and as the song becomes calm, four stars is my score.

The third song of the album, "Grandma's Clear Water Bay", my favorite song in the whole album, this is a campus ballad, the melody is simple and fresh, beautiful and beautiful, and what is even more amazing is the lyrics, "That's my grandmother holding my hand gently with a cane, stepping on the twilight to the warm clear water bay of the afterglow, a footprint is a string of laughter, killing a lot of time, until the night engulfs us on the way home" Such lyrics make the picture spontaneously born in my mind at the same time, deeply touching, Li Man's singing is flawless, The sweet and pure voice is vividly displayed.

Here, please allow me to evaluate the song with subjective sentiment, this is one of the most outstanding campus ballads in recent years, throughout the entire history of modern Chinese music, it is also a well-deserved classic masterpiece, in my personal evaluation system, it ranks among the top five campus folk songs, and the score is naturally five stars.

The fourth song of the album, "The Promise", this is undoubtedly another good song, the melody is very beautiful, "The bell echoes in the rain in the distance, we hold hands under the eaves and listen, the wedding in the fantasy church is held to bless the two of us, all the way from the mud to the beautiful scenery", such lyrics are both beautiful and moving, Li Man's singing is amazing, in nature, precision, just the right embodiment of the connotation of the song, close your eyes and listen quietly, people can't help but revel in his beautiful singing, score four stars.

The fifth song of the album, "Wish", is another campus ballad, and it is a work that is enough to be among the classics, like other classic campus ballads, the melody of the song itself is very simple, but with just the right lyrics, it has the power to move people's hearts.

"Little Lucky", it's hard to believe that there will be so many good songs on an album, but facts speak louder than words, this is definitely an out-and-out good song, a good song that people can't stop listening to, telling the shy blush of a girl's crush, the sour touch of first love and the joy and satisfaction of meeting that boy, a sentence of "How lucky I am to meet you" exhausts the girl's shy and sweet feelings, with a score of four stars.

"Feathers" is still a good song, not showing mountains and waters, but people are deeply attracted by the singing, and the excellent Cheng dù of the lyrics and songs can be seen, with a score of three and a half stars.

"Don't Say Goodbye", the graduation song full of youthful memories is always moving, "Goodbye old classmates who dislike each other, goodbye too late to say thank you, goodbye will not have any more homework, goodbye I left you the last page of the graduation book", too sensational weakened the artistic conception of the song, but it is undeniable that it is very appropriate, Li Man's youthful singing lowered the score, three and a half stars.

"Eyelash Curl", the second fast song and dance song in the album, the fusion of Eastern and Western styles, makes the song full of unique charm and freshness, with the same interesting lyrics, it tells the feeling of a sweet and shy girl who fell in love at first sight, and the quality of the song alone, obviously above "Bad Sister", a rare original fast song and dance masterpiece in the Chinese music scene, with a score of three and a half stars.

"Wild Son", well, this is still a good song, and it is a rare good song, both the composition and the singing method are very unique, showing Jiang Lin's exploration in music, which is extremely rare, and the lyrics are also not vulgar, expressing the attitude of life that is not afraid of adversity and strong in the face of life, the quality of the song itself is close to five stars, it is a must-listen song in the album, not to be missed, but it is a pity that Li Man did not fully interpret the charm of the song, and lowered the score, with a score of four stars.

Obviously, this is an album that is almost perfect at the level of pop music, and this album allows us to witness the charm of a talented singer, but also witness the birth of an all-round musical genius, who will undoubtedly take the Chinese music scene by storm.

Album evaluation, four-star, recommendation index, four-and-a-half-star, diverse music styles, each of which is the first-class level of today's Chinese music scene, and all of them are original works, which is extremely rare, if you only pursue the pleasant sound of hearing, then the album "That Summer" is an absolute masterpiece at the level of Chinese pop music, but it lacks ideological connotation and melody creation, and there is a big gap from the greatness of the classics.

Conclusion: With such an excellent work presented for the first time as a producer, Jiang Lin's future is undoubtedly very exciting. The female work is too good is obviously a huge pressure, based on the quality of "That Summer", Jiang Lin may be difficult to surpass himself in the future, not only for creative reasons, but also because of today's record market, two or three excellent songs, plus some medium and ordinary quality songs, constitute an album, Jiang Lin may be difficult to put all the good songs into an album without reservation, if so, it is undoubtedly a pity and regret, I hope he can, because only then can the Chinese music scene have greater hope.

Jiang Lin smiled, no wonder Ji Chengshan was so excited, when Li Man recorded before, he said with longing that it would be good if "That Summer" could get Chen Haizhou's four-star evaluation like Lin Haoyu's "Rotation and Revolution", as a result, "That Summer" not only really got a four-star evaluation, but even from Chen Haizhou's four-and-a-half-star recommendation index, it has faintly surpassed Lin Haoyu's "Rotation and Revolution".

"Haha, Dafa, the recommendation index is four and a half stars, this is definitely a rare praise in Chen Haizhou's evaluation, such a high evaluation, "That Summer" will definitely be popular with the readers of "The Sound of Music". Ji Chengshan said excitedly.

"It's okay, the album evaluation is only four stars." Jiang Lin said lightly.

"What is talent, do you know how many albums have received five-star reviews from Chen Haizhou since he became the chief music critic of "The Sound of Music"? There are a lot of five-star albums in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, but in the past ten years, there have only been three albums in the Chinese music scene that have received five-star reviews, and there are only a handful of four-and-a-half star albums, only a little more than four stars, but only a little more, on average, there are only a few per year in the three places. Ji Chengshan's eyes widened.

"So what, I don't think 'That Summer' deserves that kind of evaluation." Jiang Lin shrugged, with so many good songs, if he didn't even have a four-star evaluation, Chen Haizhou's standards would inevitably be too high.

Is there a lack of ideological connotation and melodic creation? Sure enough, it is difficult to get a high score from music critics only with love songs, Jiang Lin shook his head, this is not only a phenomenon in the Chinese music scene, but also the whole world, when he was in time and space, he saw a 500 greatest albums in history selected by Rolling Stone magazine, I don't remember the specifics, anyway, the top 100 are almost all rock albums, there are too many music critics who advocate the tone of criticism of reality, loneliness, anger, pain, despair and other themes seem to be inherently higher than the themes of love, peace, and happiness.

It is conceivable that if he hadn't joined the four songs "Grandma's Penghu Bay", "Wild Son", "Wish", and "Don't Say Goodbye", otherwise the evaluation would be even lower only with love songs.

"Ha, I didn't say that "That Summer" deserves such an evaluation, anyway, it's a good thing, it can help us achieve higher album sales, I'm already looking forward to your album now, I don't know what kind of evaluation I can get?" Ji Chengshan said with a smile.

"Who knows? It won't be too high anyway. Jiang Lin smiled and shook his head, after understanding the tone of the authoritative music magazine, he knew that it was difficult for him to be too highly respected by music critics, no way, who let himself be just a layman, in the original time and space, there were too many music critics and rock fans who thought that the corrosion of commerce made Xu Wei and Wang Feng lose their original musical pursuits, and evolved from the painful thinking about life in the past to the later saliva songs, but he felt that "Blue Lotus", "Time", "Gift", "In the Spring", "Save Zài", "Fly Higher" This kind of work is very good, compared to deliberately catering to those music critics, he thinks that what he likes is the most important, followed by more people who like it, the so-called music critics' evaluation, you can't completely ignore it, but you can't care too much, if you can achieve a balance between the two, it is a very ideal result.

"But it's not too low, is it? I'm sure there will be a lot of people who will like it. Ji Chengshan smiled.

"Heh, it depends on how well I record, Mr. Ji, let's start recording!" Jiang Lin looked serious, and he also couldn't wait to see what kind of music critics his album would get, and most importantly, what kind of love it would win among the public.
