Chapter 966: Ye Zi's "Demon" Album (I)
1993 is an extremely important year for Ye Zi, and its importance is second only to 1992, when Ye Zi officially rose in the music scene. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 According to the comments on the history of pop music in later generations, Ye Zi successfully completed his transformation in this year, from an ordinary commercial singer-songwriter who wrote and sang pop saliva songs, to an artistic pop singer-songwriter with strong creativity, changeable style, and unrestrained imagination, and his own value and artistic value have been truly reflected since then.
The commentary on the history of pop music is just right and very accurate, but it still doesn't fully explain the achievements of Ye Zi's second album. As a serious history of music, it is impossible for the compiler to cover all the details.
For fans who have experienced 1993, even if he (she) is not Ye Zi's fan or supporter, he (she) will clearly remember Ye Zi's album and the impact this album brought to the Chinese mainland music scene and the Xiangjiang music scene.
……
In 1993, Ye Zi only released a solo singing album, that is, the second album "Ye Zi's folk/dream" (Ye Zi's folk dream). Since this album, Ye Zi has been publishing his own album at a frequency of one album a year. Although this speed is not comparable to Chen Yichen's at least two or three albums in a year, it is as slow as an old cow trailer, but after Ye Zi's careful preparation and recording of each album, one of his albums can match or even defeat several of Chen Yichen's albums.
This is the most headache and dissatisfaction for Chen Yichen, but it makes him helpless. The competition between him and Ye Zi is a typical example of quantity versus quality. Only by using this method can Chen Yichen be on a par with Ye Zi in the first few years. Otherwise, Ye Zi would have been out of the dust a long time ago. Only a few years later, Chen Yichen matured in all aspects, and the competition between the two was truly put on the same starting line.
However, at that time, Ye Zi's attention was no longer entirely on the music scene, Ye Zi's classical and pop at that time flew together, and only half of his energy was on the pop music scene. This situation made Chen Yichen feel so aggrieved that he wanted to cry.
Fortunately, Ye Zi has always fulfilled his promise, and every album of Chen Yichen will get a song specially customized for him by Ye Zi. And such songs will always become a guarantee for albums to sell well and win awards, which makes singers in Xiangjiang and Taiwan go crazy with jealousy.
Chen Yichen finally balanced a little in his heart.
This is a later story, let's talk back to Ye Zi's second album.
At the beginning, the second album used the names "You at the Same Table" and "Campus/Youth", which were later denied by Ye Zi and Tantai Wenhui, who thought that these two names were too literary. While such an album title would be appealing to students on campus, it would cost a lot of potential customers from a business perspective. Everyone discussed and discussed, and in the end, it was Yutai Wenhui who personally made the decision, enabled the idea contributed by the copywriting team, and determined the relatively neutral but evocative name of "folk/dream". Finally, when it was finalized, Ye Zi added the Chinese "Ye Zi's" to it on a whim, and the final name of the album became "Ye Zi's folk/dream", a name destined to go down in the history of Asian pop music.
With such twists and turns in the name of an album, what is the future of this album?
……
On Monday, February 22, 1993, the dragon raised its head. This day is also the day when Ye Zi began his national college tour.
The first stop was the ancient Yenching University in Yanjing City.
At this moment, Ye Zi, after the double gilding of the Xiangjiang Awards and the evening of the evening, has truly become a popular celebrity in China, and his arrival has shaken Yenching University and all universities in Yenching.
Wenhui Entertainment designed all the tours to be held in the open air, and in order to ensure the effect of the live singing, Wenhui rented a full set of top-level sound and lighting systems to follow Ye Zi's itinerary at any cost. For this alone, Tai Wenhui invested 500,000 yuan.
But the effect is enough to repay all the efforts of Wenhui.
That evening, on the lawn of the Yenching University Garden, Ye Zi's first college tour attracted more than 20,000 college students from various universities in Yenching to support, and hundreds of reporters from dozens of media also submitted interview applications to the university and Wenhui Entertainment. In order to ensure the order of this tour, the Yanjing University once again urgently requested the Yanjing police department to send additional forces, and this request was strongly supported by the relevant departments.
At the performance site that night, Ye Zi and ten "college student" singers selected by various colleges and universities in Yanjing took turns to sing on stage, and all the college students present enjoyed a gluttonous feast that only belonged to folk songs. One by one, the folk singers who will be familiar to fans in the future took the stage to sing one by one: Shen Qing brought his "Youth" with a guitar; Wang Yang lost "You at the Same Table" that could make him shine, but he still sang "Brother Sleeping on My Top Bunk" with his uninhibited voice; Ai Jing, a big girl who likes to hold a guitar and tell stories, stood quietly on the stage and simply sang "That Day......
Almost every singer on stage has a guitar, and even those one or two singers who can't play the guitar will have guitar masters by their side to "serve". The guitar playing and singing does not look boring, but has a strong pure atmosphere in the simplicity, and the top-level audio system rented by Wenhui at a large price ensures that all the details of the guitar and vocals can be expressed in their original form.
All this made the more than 20,000 college students present deeply intoxicated.
Of course, the high chao of this tour will be set off by Ye Zi.
Like other singers, Ye Zi gave up all complicated musical accompaniment and walked onto the stage with the handmade guitar given to him by Wenhui Tai, and the ten songs in the second album were all sung live one after another. In addition to the song "You at the Same Table" that has been sung by college students for a long time, songs such as "Those Flowers", "Goodbye My Favorite Person", "Phoenix Blossoms" and other songs have been unanimously welcomed and loved by all college students present. Especially "Those Flowers" and "Goodbye My Favorite Person", almost all of them caused a chorus of college students to sing at the end, and these songs were officially sung by Ye Zi for the first time in public.
These songs haven't even started hitting the charts yet.
The highest performance of the night was created by Ye Zi and more than 20,000 college students present singing "You at the Same Table". At that time, Ye Zi was holding the guitar in his arms and was "lalala" after the transfer of Mansheng Qingge, and the host arranged by the school came to the stage with a lit lighter in accordance with Ye Zi's prior requirements. Without any verbal provocation, one by one, the lighters were quickly lit and held high by the students.
So, the most beautiful and touching scene appeared.
Under the clear and endless night sky, the lights are scattered all over the lawn, and from a distance, it looks like "fireflies" in the past, accompanied by the neat singing in the ears, it is really as beautiful as a dream. Almost every college student insisted on it until the lighter was too hot and had to let go, which extinguished the firefly in the dark night. However, as soon as the lighter cools down a little, another lit "firefly" will be born again.
This scene was faithfully recorded by the camera lenses and camera lenses of the reporters present; This scene has touched countless fans and non-fans through newspapers, magazines and TV pictures; This scene was also selected as the first place with an absolute high vote in the future selection of "The Most Touching Picture of Ye Zi's 20 Years of Singing".
Beautiful and pure - many fans remember this scene for the rest of their lives.
……
On the morning of the next day, the "Folk Song Seminar" hosted by Wenhui Entertainment and undertaken by the Yanjing University Federation was officially held at Yenching University, and hundreds of singers, songwriters, musicians, and company bosses from various universities in Yanjing, some literary and artistic groups and record companies in Yanjing attended the seminar.
Liu Zhuohui, the CEO of DD Company, was present in person for two consecutive days, and he had already identified several candidates in the first scene of last night's tour, and after the second day's seminar, Liu Zhuohui made up his mind to start the production process of "Campus Folk Song I" immediately.
Since Ye Zi has fired the first shot, then DD will follow--this is Liu Zhuohui's calculation in his heart.
On the third day, Ye Zi moved to Huaqingyuan with ten singers, and the tour continued. (To be continued.) )
