() in the conference room.

The three songs are played continuously one after the other in the order of three-two-one. In a high-quality sound system, all three songs have a strong artistic appeal. Although these officials here do not understand the professional knowledge of lyrics and music, they can still roughly distinguish the quality of a song.

Compared to the three songs I heard ten days ago, these three songs are so much better now, it is completely the difference between heaven and earth. As long as the ears are not deaf and do not deliberately reverse black and white, anyone can easily distinguish between good and bad.

It was the first time that Nalan Qinghui listened to the other two songs seriously from the hi-fi speaker. After agreeing on the method of blindly listening to the songs, he did not carefully listen to the works sent later, so as not to bring his subjective consciousness into the subsequent work. Now after listening to it as carefully as everyone else, Nalan Qinghui immediately knows why this song "South of the Colorful Clouds" can be selected as the first place by so many people.

Among these three songs, "South of the Clouds" is the most distinctive and the easiest work to sing.

The lyrics of "Beautiful Cloud Province" are atmospheric and the melody is magnificent. The male and female lead singers plus the singing processing of the chorus in the second half, and the orchestration technique of the large orchestra and the electroacoustic orchestra all make the whole song look majestic and weighty, which is a model of creating completely in accordance with the tone of the main theme song.

Such a song can be heard anywhere, it is nothing more than a change in melody, and the singing and orchestration are almost the same. In the eyes of traditional composers like Nalan Qinghui, such songs are more in line with their understanding of theme songs.

Compared with "Beautiful Cloud Province", "Naxi Love" is a typical folk song tune. The composer skillfully used the elements of Naxi folk songs, and the melody was written softly and tactfully, which is very characteristic of the music of ethnic minorities in Yun Province. In terms of orchestration, it is the way of traditional folk music and electroacoustic band, which is very delicate and delicate, just like the singer's singing, completely using folk songs to depict the beautiful pastoral scenery.

Such songs are beautiful and nice. But it is congenitally lacking in momentum, and when it is used as the theme song, I always feel that something will be missing.

Of these three songs, "South of the Clouds" is the only one that completely follows the concept of pop songs. to write and produce songs. Compared to the previous two songs, it is very different.

Let's talk about lyrics and music first.

The lyrics are very simple, using the voice of a wanderer to tell the nostalgia for his hometown. Such an angle is not atmospheric, but it is very down-to-earth, and it is very easy to resonate with the audience. The melody is based on the characteristics of the music of ethnic minorities in Yun Province and integrates it into the melody of pop songs. There is a hint of flavor but not very strong. The melody itself pays more attention to fluency and singing, which is extremely catchy and inherently easy to sing. If you want to talk about the skill of composition, there are not many of them.

At this point, the focus of the three songs is different, but all are excellent. From the point of view of song circulation, the ranking of the three songs is completely compatible.

Let's talk about the equipment system.

In terms of orchestration, "South of the Clouds" adopts completely modern orchestration techniques, especially focusing on the matching of drums, and the heavy blows of drums create a good song atmosphere. The bau that is interspersed back and forth at the beginning, in the interlude, and in the middle. It makes the whole song put on a coat of unique folk music in Yun Province, and it is very harmonious with the song as a whole.

In terms of song system, "South of Caiyun" is far behind those two songs. The recording and post-mixing are impeccable, and have fully reached the standards of high-fidelity HIFI records, which allows the singing, orchestration, and sound effects of the whole song to be clearly transmitted to the listeners, so that they can feel the charm of the song more deeply.

Nalan Qinghui doesn't write songs himself, but he is an absolute expert in song appreciation. It is the first time that Nalan Qinghui has heard such an excellent work with good lyrics, songs, singing, arrangement, recording, and post-production.

If he were to listen to the song blindly, he would make the same choice. He even felt that only thirteen people chose this song to be the first place. It was all the people who participated in the blind listening that chose this song. That's also an extremely normal thing.

Sighing softly, Nalan Qinghui shook his head.

It was also the first time for Li Zhifei to listen to this song from a professional sound system, and the shock he brought was the same as when he first heard this song.

After the CD is sent to the organizing committee. Li Wende immediately found someone to copy the tape, and Li Zhifei listened to the song with Li Wende on the same day. It was precisely because both the uncle and nephew thought that this song was quite good that Li Wende was willing to come forward to Nalan Qinghui again, trying to get through the relationship and push this song into the theme song of the tourism festival.

An old oilman in officialdom like Li Wende definitely doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't scatter an eagle. Not a little sure. What did he take to negotiate with Nalan Qinghui?

But now, Li Wende and Li Zhifei can only look at the situation first and then make plans.

"Okay, you've heard all three songs, now let's discuss which song to choose as the theme song of this year's tourism festival."

When the singing stopped, Kang Wenbai snuffed out the cigarette butt, knocked lightly on the table, and said in a deep voice.

"Let's all have their opinions. Tonight, the theme song of the festival must be decided. ”

Again, Comwenberg stressed this point.

There was silence in the conference room for a while, and a voice coughed lightly and said: "Secretary-General, comrades, this time the song collection activity, the famous composer Mr. Mu Qing gave us strong support, and specially created a work and sent it to the organizing committee. There is no work by Mr. Mu Qing in the three songs that are currently being shortlisted, Secretary-General, do you see ...... Mr. Mu, how should I reply? ”

The speaker was Xu Liangsheng, a member of the Organizing Committee of the Tourism Festival and deputy director of the Provincial Department of Transportation. The status and importance of the Department of Transportation in the province are by no means comparable to the Tourism Bureau, and at the last meeting, Kang Wenbai could take down Ma Mingguang with thunder and anger, and now in the face of Xu Liangsheng's "justifiable" questioning, Kang Wenbai will not directly suppress people.

Kang Wenbai's level is only half a level higher than Xu Liangsheng, and they do not belong to each other, and the Zhengzhi faction is not the same camp, Xu Liangsheng is not afraid of Kang Wenbai at all. The question just now was not so much that he was asking about Kang Wenbai's attitude, but that he was deliberately blocking him.

Xu Liangsheng is not afraid of Kang Wenbai, and of course Kang Wenbai is even more unlikely to be afraid of Xu Liangsheng's difficulties.

"This time the song selection should be carried out in line with the principle of fairness and justice, which is also the requirement of the superior leaders for our organizing committee. No member of our organizing committee, including me, the chairman, can interfere with the final outcome of this selection under any pretext. ”

Kang Wenbai said lightly, his tone was not heavy, but the meaning of his words was extremely firm.

"Comrade Liangsheng, we are very touched by Mr. Mu Qing's support for our Yun Province International Tourism Festival, but it is impossible to change the result of blind listening. I would like to ask Comrade Liangsheng to explain to Mr. Mu Qing on behalf of our organizing committee, I think Mr. Mu, as a well-known songwriter in the music world, will definitely be able to understand the good intentions of our organizing committee. ”

"Secretary-General Kang, I can bring the words, but ...... I'm afraid it's hard to be convincing! Xu Liangsheng tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, and he smiled.

"Mr. Mu Qing is a famous songwriter in the music world, and his works are not as good as a young man who is less than twenty years old, and this young man is not a music professional." Xu Liangsheng raised his head and looked around at the people present: "Let's talk about it, can I use such a reason to convince Mr. Mu Qing?" ”

As soon as Xu Liangsheng said this, the conference room immediately became as lively as a vegetable market.

"Director Xu is right, the first one is indeed a bit too much...... That's what, we chose and chose for a long time, and finally selected a child's work, if it is not good, it will make people say something, if it affects the reputation of the organizing committee, it will not be good. ”

"Yes, comrades, we always have to consider a little influence when choosing songs, right?"

"That's right! Mr. Mu Qing is everyone, a famous artist, and the common people all know that there is such a composer, what is this child called Ye Zi, does anyone here know him? When we choose a song, we not only have to look at how well the song is written, but also the personal background of the creator is also very important! ”

"According to what you say, you don't have to make any choices, just compare the identity and background of the creator, which one is deeper, which one is used? What kind of logic is this? If you don't look at the song itself, what else do you choose? Is there any of these songs that can compare to this "South of the Clouds"? Don't you choose the good ones or the bad ones? Are all these people who participate in the blind listening song selection deaf? ”

"No need to argue, no need to argue, everyone doesn't have to quarrel, I think it's best to solve the affairs of our cloud province in the province. I think "Beautiful Cloud Province" is more appropriate. The song itself is quite good, and the lyricist Mr. Yimo is not small and has enough weight. Besides, the tourism festival of our cloud province uses our own works in cloud province, which is completely said in the past, don't you say? ”

"You have a narrow regional concept, we ......"

……

With Xu Liangsheng's head, everyone present expressed their opinions. However, everyone has their own vital interests, and no one side has the absolute upper hand.

Xu Liangsheng sat on the chair and smoked silently, very proud in his heart, he just wanted to muddy the water. No matter how ruthless Kang Wenbai's methods are, even if he can "kill the generals in battle" with the "Shang Fang Sword" on his back, it is impossible for him to offend all these people here.

If I don't get any benefit, then no one should think about getting it lightly. This is the ghost idea that Xu Liangsheng had in his heart.

Don't say it, the most people in officialdom are people like Xu Liangsheng. (To be continued.) )
