Chapter 427: A Big Mismatch

"If Avril Lavigne's song were sung by ordinary people, I would give it a good review, but if Avril sang it, I can only say that she lost her level."

The music reviews of "Badreputation" have been released one after another.

To the surprise of Avril Lavigne's fans, the reviews of the song "Badreputation" by major musicians are not very good, and they are generally below the standard.

"I've always thought Avril's songs are very spiritual, and I think her style plays very well, but this time I want to say, you're out of shape."

"I don't know exactly why Avril got on this single, but I want to say that you're really disappointing the fans who support you."

The famous American musician Denver wrote in the newspaper: "Avril's song is like a work that came out in a hurry, and it is not refined at all. ”

These musicians don't give Avril Lavigne the punk princess any face, in their eyes, good is good, bad is bad, and they don't say good things if they don't have zài.

At their level, if there is a mistake in reviewing a song, it is easy to be abandoned by fans.

It's the same as a film critic.

You have to comment on the movie fairly and impartially, if you say that a bad movie is good, the audience will definitely scold you for being a cheater after listening to it, and the newspaper will not invite you to comment in the future.

So generally speaking, American musicians are more sharp in their reviews. And their comments also have a big impact on the sales of the songs.

For example, when a musician reviews an album and gives a good review, saying that the album is a classic, then the people who buy the album based on the musician's review will buy your album. It has a very big effect on the pull of the album.

And if an artist says an album is rubbish, many fans won't buy your album.

So in the United States, when a record company releases a new album, the first thing they will do is to say hello to those musicians, not to let them self-destruct the sign to help the album say good things, but to let those musicians be merciful when commenting.

As soon as the musician commented on Avril's songs, and the comments were of low standard, those netizens who were sprayed back by Avril Lavigne's fans immediately shouted.

"I said it. The single "Badreputation" wasn't great, but those Avril Lavigne fans kept spraying me and saying it was great. Now, I'm going to do it. ”

"It's so speechless, the song "Badreputation" is clearly Avril's coping work, completely below the standard. Compared to Avril's previous high-quality songs. It's not worth mentioning at all. ”

"It's in vain that I like Avril so much, but I didn't expect Avril to fool me with this kind of song."

With the flood of negative reviews, downloads for "badreputation" began to plummet, and it only occupied the top spot on the Billboard chart for two days before being easily surpassed by "Opera 2", and then lost to "National Enquirer" to third place on the Billboard, a week later. "Badreputation" disappears from the top 10 of the Billboard.

However, "Opera 2" still occupies the first place on the billboard with its strong word-of-mouth and the advertising effect brought by the billboard. There is not the slightest downward trend.

"Let's start recording your new album!"

After seeing that "Opera 2" still held the No. 1 position on the US Billboard, Steele finally relented, "Are all your songs ready?" If you're ready, start the recording process right away. ”

"If you're not ready, you can go to the company's songwriter and ask for a song."

"I'm ready."

Li Lin waved his hand and took out all the music scores that had been prepared a long time ago, "Please also give me advice." ”

Steele flipped through two pages, a look of surprise on his face, "You wrote it all yourself?" ”

"It's okay!"

"I'm going to ask the people in the company." Steele put away her surprise, she heard that singers in Asia are looking for songwriters to pick up songs, but she didn't expect Li Lin to be an outlier.

That doesn't prove anything, though.

In the United States, singers often write their own songs.

Like Avril, she writes her own songs.

In addition to this, there is MJ.

When preparing an album, MJ often writes 200 songs by himself, and then selects songs from these 200 songs that suit his style and are of the highest quality to add to the album.

In addition, they will also invite songs, as long as it is a good song, they will not let it go.

It is this attitude of excellence that makes their songs so popular, but it is also this attitude that makes the company very unhappy with them.

Why is it not cool? It all comes down to the copyright of the song.

Like MJ, the copyrights of the songs he wrote are in his own hands, and even the songs that he doesn't use will not be handed over to the company, and these songs are a huge temptation for the company, which is why Sony and MJ have conflicts all year round.

Even at an album launch, MJ publicly said that Sony wanted to ruin himself and vent his dissatisfaction with Sony to fans.

Inside the Universal Music Studio.

Several musicians and sound recorders were standing inside the sound recorder, listening to the recordings of the singers inside, and from time to time there were shouts of stopping and angry reprimands.

Steele walked outside the studio and waited for a moment before pushing the door open and entering. Mr. Williams, do you have time now? ”

"What's the matter!" Farrell said in a bad tone, "If there are no important things that you bother me, I will explain these things to the company." ”

"That's right."

Steele didn't care at all about Farrell's tone, to her, Farrell was already very kind, and Steele had seen a lot of musicians who were more grumpy than him.

"One of my singers wrote songs for himself on an album, and I would like to ask you to help me see how his songs are. If it works, I'd like to make an album with his own songs. ”

"By the way, his name is Li Lin, and he sang "Opera 2".

After hearing the word "Opera 2", Farrell, who was originally a little unproductive, immediately became interested, "Is it the new song of the singer who sang "Opera 2"?" ”

Others pay attention to the quality of "Opera 2" itself, but he pays attention to the author of "Opera 2", and he also has an impression of Li Lin.

"I'll take a look at his new work."

Steele smiled when he heard this, and gently handed over the score, "It's all his own lyrics and compositions, but I don't know what the quality is?" ”

"How can you just look at the quality?" Farrell became impatient again, and he took the score and swept it seriously.

《girlinyourdreans》?

The first thing Farrell saw was "GirlinYourdReans", and he glanced at the score to see that it was a lyrical song, with a slow tempo, but if it was sung well, it could go straight to the heart.

"He has a clean voice, and he can sing bel canto, so it's okay to sing this song."

Farrell's mind swirled with thoughts.

The melody of the lyrical song itself is important, but the singer's own level must also be high, otherwise even a good song will be sung by the singer.

Similarly, as long as the singer's singing skills are good, even if it is a bad song, it can be raised to a higher level.

“Iwaswalking……。”

Farrell sang slowly, his voice was not good, but he sang this song hard with his singing skills, "This song is okay, it is good to sing above the level, and it is not good to sing below the level." ”

"Steele, you call Li Lin over, I'll record an album for him personally."

Farrell's hand was itchy.

The song "GirlinYourdReans" is purely supported by the singer's own level, so he has high requirements for the singer himself, and he wants to polish Li Lin well.

"What about the other songs? Why don't you take a look first? Steele whispered: "If the level of the song is not good, I will go to other songwriters to make an appointment for a song, if it is okay, I will make a report, after all, the level of Li Lin also needs to be evaluated." ”

Promotional resources, which are equivalent to the level of the album.

The higher the quality of your album, the higher the resources invested by the company, and the better the album will achieve after release.

"I'll take a look." Farrell continued to watch.

Crash!

Farrell jerked two steps, too excited to help himself.

《ITSGOINDOWN》!

Rap music, an Asian plays rap music, and judging from the score, the quality of this song is absolutely high, maybe not as good as a classic like "Opera 2", but in terms of its own level, it is absolutely no problem to enter the top ten of the annual rap music chart of the US Billboard.

At least this year, no released rap song can match this one.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." Farrell's eyes lit up, "You actually gave me such a surprise. ”

"No matter what, I have to be in charge of his albums."

"What's the matter, Farrell."

A curious voice came from inside the studio.

"Nothing." Farrell suppressed his excitement, he didn't want to have a few more competitors out of thin air, "You go and tell the company that this album is of good quality, and I will apply to the company to be in charge of his album." ”

"But the other songs ......."

"Nothing."

Steele's voice was interrupted by Farrell before he could finish speaking, "You just follow what I said and talk to the company, I'll solve the rest, go quickly." ”

Can you not go quickly?

If other musicians know about it, they will definitely come to grab it, and it is still unknown who will fall into the hands of Li Lin's album recording work at that time! (To be continued......)
