Chapter 112: The Transformation of Music

"Sit down."

The home was very clean, and Liu Yuan warmly invited Jiang Chen to sit down. His excessive enthusiasm made Jiang Chen a little unbearable, but Liu Yuan was very thick-skinned, smiled like a nobody, and asked Jiang Chen many questions.

Liu Yuan has lacked exercise recently, and his body has obviously gained a lot of weight.

He asked, "Just got out of school? ”

"Hmm."

"Practicing again?"

"Hmm."

However, Jiang Chen had already understood Liu Yuan's intentions.

Jiang Chen replied easily, just nodded, just stared at Liu Yuan, with an expression of what else do you want to ask.

Liu Yuan suddenly had an epiphany when he saw it, Jiang Chen was smart, so he directly said the key words:

"I listened to it, your campus ballad "Gardenia Blossom" is really good."

Jiang Chen was stunned.

Liu Yuan said sincerely: "That's the case, senior brother, I didn't open a Zhongyin Entertainment Company and accepted a lot of trainees, so I begged you for a few songs, similar to "Gardenia Blossom" This kind of song ......"

Jiang Chen was silent and did not immediately agree.

However, Jiang Chen had already guessed that in short, Liu Yuan was about to sing.

Liu Yuan was worried that Jiang Chen didn't understand, and said: "There are generally several ways to make a song, entrust creation, buy out, and settle royalties according to the actual sales volume. These three ways, you choose, if you buy out, the price will definitely be higher than the industry. ”

Before, Liu Yuanben had no intention of asking Jiang Chen for a song, and took it for granted that Jiang Chen played the piano and was not interested in pop music, but the moment he heard "Gardenia Bloom", his mind changed......

A musical genius is a musical genius, he wrote a birthday song at the age of six, and after so many years, the level is getting higher and higher.

Liu Yuan was only amazed in his heart. All that remains is the thought that he is old.

Huaxia Zhongyin Entertainment Co., Ltd. is a medium-sized artist planning and brokerage company, founded by singer-turned-Liu Yuanhe.

The Internet is developing faster and faster, and the sales of records are decreasing year by year.

Under such circumstances, Liu Yuan's shoulders are under tremendous pressure, and some young trainees under his company are about to make their debut. There is an urgent need for good songs for young people to sing.

Perhaps it is the result of the development of the Internet, the pop music scene is now at the intersection of the record era and the Internet era, and the pop music scene ten years ago has changed a lot.

is on the cusp of a decline in China's entertainment industry.

Liu Yuan's affectionate slow songs that once swept Asia were half popular but not purple, and he couldn't find a big man who was willing to invest at all, and it began to be very difficult to persuade the record company to release an album.

In short, all the singers who were once popular all over the country have turned from prosperity to decline, albums cannot be sold, investors are unwilling to invest in albums, and there are even fewer concerts. Many big-name stars can only go to pick up movies and participate in TV shows.

Really, the market in Huaxia has changed too much, and it is too cruel for old singers.

Frankly speaking, Liu Yuan doesn't know much about the tastes of the public now. In Liu Yuan's eyes, everyone doesn't like to listen to the affectionate old songs he likes, but Jiang Chen casually wrote a song "Gardenia Blooming", and young people on the Internet like it very much.

The most obvious sign is: Jiang Chen's "Gardenia Blossom" has been on the meager hot search list for a long time. Some netizens cut Jiang Chen's "Gardenia Blossom" video into an audio "Gardenia Blossom Audition Version", which has been on the Chinese New Song List.

Let's be honest. Seeing Jiang Chen's simple songs, the public likes to listen to them, Liu Yuan is dumbfounded, you must know that he has been thinking about the affectionate old songs for a long time, but not many people buy them at all.

Of course, Liu Yuan also admits that Jiang Chen's "Gardenia Blossom" is good. If it weren't for "Gardenia Blooming", it would have been very popular on the Internet. has already sung the work by Jiang Chen first, Liu Yuan really considered using "Gardenia Blossom".

"How?"

Liu Yuan looked at Jiang Chen.

Although the company has very young talents who write songs, there is a certain gap between the songs written and Jiang Chen's "Gardenia Blossoms". No wonder he deliberately waited for Jiang Chen at Teacher Xi's house.

Xi Wenchang pushed his glasses and just looked at the two of them quietly. Liu Yuan felt that he couldn't keep up with the market changes, and Xi Wenchang felt the same way.

It's true. Now when he goes out, he is embarrassed to be called the godfather of pop, and whoever does, he will take it as an insult. Calling him the godfather of old songs, he was willing to accept it, because he suddenly found that he couldn't listen to the popular songs on the streets.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, but he was thinking about things in his heart.

He remembers that in that period of musical change, Eason Chan and Jay Chou both took the last train and rose rapidly. Jay Chou has become the king of Asian pop, and Eason Chan is known as the third generation of singers after Xu Guanjie and Jacky Cheung.

Now Huaxia Entertainment seems to be in a bit of this situation.

Affectionate oldies are not working anymore?

Jiang Chen doesn't think so, it's just that the song is not classic enough.

Until now, Jiang Chen still can't forget some classic old songs, but those classic old songs are thousands of songs that have been eliminated, and they are naturally classics. So it's not that all old songs are better than new songs, but only a few classic old songs are better than new songs that everyone likes to see.

Jiang Chen has the idea of singing classic old songs, but he doesn't plan to try it immediately, the times are changing, and the music is also adapting to the changes of the times, singing some new styles of tunes, young people prefer them.

What singers have to do is to follow the trend of the times.

Middle-aged and elderly people like affectionate slow songs, and young people don't like it anymore, and they are tired of the straightforward "love comes and goes". And the main force of the entertainment army is young people.

Jiang Chen guessed that singer-songwriters are easier to survive.

"Uncle Liu, can I take a look at your company's trainees first?" Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "I need to understand people and decide what kind of style it is." ”

"Okay, by the way, I have here the information of a few trainees selected by our company."

Seeing this, Liu Yuan smiled and took out the bag.

Jiang Chen took it and untied the bag, looking at the trainee materials page by page. Trainees can also be called rookie reserves, because the training system is better than a simple draft, and it is an increasingly popular way to draft artists.

Xi Wenchang shook his head, quite touched, after listening to Jiang Chen's "Gardenia Blossom", he gradually realized that the era of music change had come.

The furniture in the hall was filled with the scent of sandalwood, and the three of them sat silently on quaint chairs. Xi Xinyue knocked melon seeds on the side, occasionally glancing at Jiang Chen, with a hint of admiration in disgust.

Jiang Chen practiced singing at her house, practicing some old songs, and after singing a few words for a long time, she felt that she was dead of hearing. made her change of attitude completely because she accidentally heard "Gardenia Bloom", and Jiang Chen was a completely different person in the video.

This is the first time she has found Jiang Chen singing pop songs so well.

However, Xi Xinyue thought of Jiang Chen's cheap smile and pursed her lips, I have to say that Jiang Chen is still very annoying, self-righteous, and always has an expression of "I know your adolescent little girls' thoughts very well".

It's really shameless!

Xi Xinyue imagined that the melon seeds were Jiang Chen, and she was even more energetic when she ate the melon seeds.

At this time, Jiang Chen read the information comfortably and found that these trainees were not very old, most of them were boys, there were quite a few people in high school, and some were even in junior high school. After reading it, Jiang Chen put the information bag on the table, showing a thoughtful expression.

Frankly speaking, Jiang Chen thinks that some of these trainees are really good, and they can form a combination, the only drawback is that they are too young.

Little Tigers?

Mayday?

Mizuki years? Feather Spring? The Letter?

It doesn't seem to be a good match.

The Flower Band? Well, forget it.

BOBO Combo?

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he nodded and said, "I have already thought about the song." ”

"Got it figured?"

Liu Yuan was a little surprised, in fact, he just wanted Jiang Chen to help find time to write a song, but he didn't expect Jiang Chen to write it on the spot.

Jiang Chen thought about it, there was the best popular group SHE and the most popular group Shuimu Nianhua in the past few years, until a certain group appeared a few years ago, and the fans gradually increased, which made Jiang Chen sigh that he was old.

Now let that combination appear early and scourge the humans of this world...... (To be continued.) )
