Chapter 46 Selecting Album Songs
Cheeky to ask for collection, ask for support! On the original earth, due to rampant piracy in recent years, and the genuine version is too expensive and unsuitable for the country, a singer basically does not rely on albums to make money, most of them rely on image endorsements and attending events to make money. However, in this world, the government's crackdown on piracy is not ordinarily severe, and if it is found to be selling pirated copies, not only will all of them be confiscated and a large amount of money will be fined, but they will also have to bear criminal liability for more than one year and less than five years in prison.
After finishing the filming of "Love Apartment", Chen Feng began to work on the new album, this album focuses on all original cards, and his previous three songs "East Wind Breaking", "Fairy Tale", and "Thousands of Miles Away" have received very enthusiastic responses, but they are also establishing a very good momentum for the new album.
In this album, Chen Feng plans to include a total of 8 songs, six Chinese songs, and two English songs. Chen Feng decided that this album should focus on fresh characteristics, so six Chinese songs, Chen Feng is ready to use Chinese style, two English songs, Chen Feng is ready to focus on country music.
Among the six songs, in addition to the three songs that have been determined, "East Wind Breaks", "Fairy Tale", and "Thousands of Miles Away", Chen Feng chose another song "Hair Like Snow".
"Hair Like Snow", a song sung by Jay Chou, is a work recommended by Jay Chou. Containing three kinds of singing, it is known as the ancestor of Chinese-style pop music, and it will reach the peak after "Dongfeng Break"! The interpretation of traditional Chinese colors in the song is a short poem, which continues to follow the route of five-tone palace tune, continuing the classical Chinese grievance and grace of "East Wind Breaking", and the addition of rap voices makes the music more layered. Just from Jay Chou's changing timbre, it can be seen that he has put more thought into the perfect melody, the perfect artistic conception, the perfect singing, and the charm lies in the use of music to evoke memories, so that you often walk in unconsciously, gently and softly, as if everything has not been lost.
This song is also a song that Chen Feng likes very much, it can be said that this song is no worse than "East Wind Break", judging from the repercussions caused by "East Wind Break", "Hair Like Snow" is estimated to cause quite a stir.
There were still two Chinese songs left, and Chen Feng lowered his head again and thought about what Chinese style song to choose. On the original earth, in addition to Jay Chou, the most popular Chinese-style singer is Xu Song.
Xu Song is also very talented, and he has been making songs independently since he was in college. VAE, who has always been popular on the Internet with a number of original works and a unique personal temperament, has taken over all the work of "Custom" lyrics, composition, arrangement, performance, production, recording, and mixing. On January 10, 2009, the first independently created album "Custom" was officially released.
22-year-old Xu Song, in his "Custom", completely realized that he dominated music and defined himself. There are not many Chinese singers with such an independent ability, and even fewer of them can hand over such an excellent record from scratch in four months, and after handing it over, there are so many people who are enthusiastic and supportive instead of being alone - and all this is under the premise of no agency to promote it, which can really be said to be unusual.
Chen Feng selected all Xu Song's songs, the more popular "Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow" and "Qingming Rain". Of course, his "Half City Smoke and Sand" and "Luzhou Moon" are also very good Chinese-style songs, but the number of songs on Chen Feng's album is limited, so he has to choose it next time.
In this way, he has identified all six Chinese songs - "East Wind Breaking", "Fairy Tale", "Thousands of Miles Away", "Hair Like Snow", "Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow", "Qingming Rain" Six songs have formed a very strong and extremely luxurious lineup, the first of these six songs can be called classics, and even a few of them can be called classics among classics. Once this album is released, Chen Feng really can't imagine what kind of sensation it will be.
Six Chinese songs have been selected, and the remaining two English songs are left. Chen Feng is ready to use country music, which is the Chinese style in English songs.
Chen Feng recalled which popular singers were in country music, and Chen Feng thought for a long time, except for Taylorswift, he really couldn't think of anyone else. However, it is a pity that Chen Feng cannot copy Taylorswift's songs, because she is a woman, and the songs are generally composed with a female voice.
Nima, if he had known the current situation, Chen Feng would definitely have to listen to a lot of English songs before crossing over. In the end, Chen Feng really had no choice but to turn to the 'Entertainment Superstar System'.
"Hey, Number One, is there any classic country music?"
"Yes, but each song costs 50 points." No. 1 is still so concise.
"Let's redeem one." Chen Feng thought about it for a long time and decided to exchange it for one song, as for the other one, Chen Feng already had a plan in his heart.
"Yes. Toby Keys's "HowdoYouLikeme". ”
"Who is Toby Case?"
"On the original earth, he is one of the most outstanding country male singers in contemporary America, and this song "howdoyoulikeme" is one of the more popular songs among all his songs."
No. 1's words completely reassured Chen Feng, and the last song left, Chen Feng chose a more commemorative country song "Whatifshesanangel" that he had heard before, a very good, and classic country song. In this way, all the songs have been chosen. Six Chinese songs - "East Wind Breaks", "Fairy Tale", "A Thousand Miles Away", "Hair Like Snow", "Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow", "Qingming Rain", two English songs "HowdoYoulikeMe", "WhatifShesanangel".
When the songs in Chen Feng's album had been written, the news of the recording was spread, which immediately caused a great sensation among fans. It's not easy, the fans finally shouted out this album after a long time.
"Hello Mr. Chen, I heard that your five songs were written in a week?" A reporter asked.
"Yes, but I have to correct the song thing, in fact, I only finished one of these five songs this week, and the others were written before, and I just finished revising them this week." Chen Feng explained with a smile.
Everyone was relieved, no matter how talented he was, it was impossible to complete such five songs in such a short time, if Chen Feng said that he had created them all within a week, it would be doubtful. However, he quickly reacted and said with some surprise: "You mean, you wrote other songs before?" You're less than twenty years old now...... So when did you get it done? "Three months ago." Chen Feng casually made up a time.
"So, what songs are on your album?"
"I'm sorry, I can't say this for the time being, you can know when you buy it, but I can state that my other songs are definitely not worse than the three songs "East Wind Breaking", "Fairy Tale", and "Thousands of Miles Away", fans who like my songs, you will definitely not be disappointed." Chen Feng said confidently.
Wow, everyone was stunned by Chen Feng's words, "East Wind Breaking", "Fairy Tale", and "Thousands of Miles Away" are already classics, but Chen Feng said that other songs are not worse than these three, so aren't they also classics. In an album, there are eight songs, and if the number one is a classic, then you have to buy one anyway. Everyone is looking forward to Chen Feng's album even more.
"Whatifshesanangel" is a very good English song, Brother Huihui likes it very much, if you haven't heard it, you might as well listen to it.
