Chapter 397: Changing Styles
"I've written a new song, give it a try." Cheng Zhijian hurriedly said: "Of course, it can't be compared with you." ”
"Haha......."
Li Lin laughed, "Speaking of which, when it comes to lyrics and music, I may not be as good as you!" ”
"You know, in the eyes of some professionals, my songs are innocent moans, bad things that teach bad children and produce bad habits."
Li Lin remembered the comments made by some newspapers about him, and suddenly disdained it.
'Teaching bad children', 'what to talk about love' and the like were all splashed on Li Lin's head, and said that his songs 'have no positive energy' and 'have an adverse impact on society'.
It's just funny.
It's just a song, something that entertains the public, and it's actually related to education, and this kind of thing is what those brick beasts can do.
There are also those small newspapers, for the sake of fame and fortune, they dare to say anything, dare to splash any dirty water, it is simply annoying.
"Those people are just red-eyed."
Cheng Zhijian was upset for Li Lin, "They are pink eye, you don't have to care." ”
"Of course I don't care."
Li Lin waved his hand, "You go and record, I'll take a look, maybe we can become colleagues." ”
"Really?"
Cheng Zhijian was overjoyed, "Thank you so much." ”
The entire soul band members felt as if they were in a dream today.
first saw Li Lin, who was popular all over Asia, and then the other party actually remembered them and chatted with them. He also said that he might be able to become a colleague.
Colleague!
Of course, the singer's colleagues are also singers, which means that Li Lin wants to introduce them to the company, which is a great joy for them who have been singing in the bar.
In particular, Li Lin's company is a gold medal record company.
Even though this company is just a newly rising record label. It can't be compared with an old company, but this company has Asian kings like Li Lin, and it also has a little diva Zhang Huimei.
There are a large number of well-known singers like Zhang Shaohan, and it is a new record company that cannot be ignored.
They remember reading a newspaper that called the 'Gold Label' the only company in the new century that had the potential to challenge the status of a record giant.
At that time, they were still envious and wanted to join it, and now their dream has come true.
They didn't doubt that Li Lin would be able to introduce them to the past.
Let's not mention that Li Lin is the holder of the gold medal record company. There is no need to doubt that Li Lin is the first brother of the gold medal record company, and the status of the first brother is unquestionable.
Step up your game!
Several people glanced at each other, and they all saw firmness in each other's eyes.
This is an opportunity. As long as they grasp it, they will be able to take a big step forward.
As a singer, who doesn't want to stand on the most gorgeous stage and sing to their heart's content, and who wants to stay in a bar forever. Become an ordinary bar singer.
Even if it's famous. How can it be compared to a star who accepts the cheers of fans on stage.
"Here's our score."
Cheng Zhijian respectfully handed the score to Li Lin, and said with the mentality of being instructed: "I hope you can guide me." ”
"Why are you so polite? We're old friends. ”
Li Lin chuckled and took the score handed over by Cheng Zhijian and looked at it carefully.
The name of the song is "Flowers and Tinder".
Judging from the score, it is a heavy metal rock style song.
"Flower Tinder, Flower Tinder
Tinder flowersTinder flowers
Bang bang ~
Experienced wind and rain _ experienced the sun and rain ....... “
After chanting a few words, Li Lin stopped, and then he looked at the expectant gaze of the soul band, and the stern words he had prepared couldn't be said.
"There's nothing wrong with the lyrics of this song, and there's nothing wrong with the score."
Li Lin's words made the eyes of several people in the soul band light up.
Everyone knows what it means to get Li Lin's praise. The current Li Lin is not only the king of the music world, but also a musical genius. His talent was nodding in acknowledgment by many pop godfathers.
He said okay, this song is very likely to become popular.
"But ......."
As soon as Li Lin's voice changed, the hearts of several people in the soul band suddenly hung up.
"This song of yours is so ordinary."
"It's so normal that there's no problem."
Everyone in the soul band was stunned.
What does this mean?
Ordinary enough to have no problems?
Cheng Zhijian glanced at Li Lin thoughtfully, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
Li Lin didn't stop and continued: "I can't see anything outstanding, in other words, this song is destined to be a song that drowns in the sea of songs. ”
"In terms of popularity, it is not as good as pop songs and saliva songs."
"In terms of depth of thought, it's not as positive as some inspirational songs."
"I can't see any highlights in the whole song, the only thing I see is that it is ordinary and has no shortcomings."
"However, in the music world, no shortcomings are often more terrible than having shortcomings."
"I sang a song "Mice Love Rice" in the early days, have you heard it?"
"Yes."
"It's a saliva song."
"Pretty good."
Listening to the voices and looking at their expressions, Li Lin immediately understood that they were insincere, and the clear disdain was almost a clear disdain to Li Lin, and they were very disdainful of that song.
"It's disdainful, isn't it?"
Li Lin said with a smile: "Many people disdain, and some people even criticized me, saying that I was simply lowering my grade by singing that kind of meaningless saliva song." ”
"But, at the time, I didn't think it was wrong."
"Because I was still an online singer when I sang "Mice Love Rice", even though I already had many fans at that time, I still sang it."
"Why, it's because of the popularity."
"'Mice Love Rice' is not positive. The melody is simple, and the whole thing is love and love, which is in the eyes of many people. These are all disadvantages. ”
"But it's these shortcomings that make "Mice Love Rice" popular."
"Now you understand?"
"You mean to make shortcomings?" One of the Soul Band members asked thoughtfully.
"It's not."
Cheng Zhijian said: "I think it should not be mediocre, it must have its own characteristics, even if this characteristic is a shortcoming in the eyes of many people, but as long as it has its own characteristics, it is possible to become popular." ”
"Guesthouse, you got it. It's a pity that there are no rewards. Li Lin smiled, "Singing, you can't be decent." If you want to be popular, you must break the convention, and you can't be willing to be mediocre. ”
How did Li Lin's Internet Divine Comedy become popular in his previous life?
Doesn't it just have its own characteristics or shortcomings?
What "Love Trading" and "The Most Dazzling National Style" have been criticized again and again. But fire is fire. It can't be denied.
Of course, if you have characteristics, you may not be able to be popular, but if you don't have characteristics, you must not be popular.
"Do we sing that kind of saliva song too?"
One of the people behind Cheng Zhijian said unconvinced: "We are a band, how can we give up our own style in order to cater to the market." ”
"Your own style?"
Li Lin asked rhetorically, "May I ask what style you have." ”
"We're a rock band, it's heavy metal rock 'n' roll." The man said with his head held high, very proud.
"There are hundreds of rock bands in the world, and you are definitely not the only ones who play heavy metal rock." Li Lin smiled. "Can you tell me how you want to stand out from those people?"
"And ......."
Li Lin raised his hand. stopped those people from talking, "There are only a few famous people who play heavy metal rock in the world!" ”
"Alright."
"Think carefully about what I'm saying, whether to stick to the unnecessary heavy metal rock style or to succumb to the market and play with the music that the market accepts."
In China, rock and roll is still a niche, not to mention heavy metal rock, a branch of rock and roll, which is a niche in the minority, and it is almost impossible to become popular.
In Li Lin's previous life, almost all of the popular rock bands succumbed to the market.
For example, the letter band, for example, Mayday, they play rock on the surface, but they actually play pop, which is the so-called pop rock.
And the once popular Flower Band simply focused on pop and added a small amount of rock style to pop.
This is one of the reasons why they are criticized by rock fans as 'pseudo-rock'.
"In other words, whether you'd rather sing in a bar or be cheered on by your fans on a brightly lit stage."
"Herzen, the famous Russian literary critic, used to quote when he was young, 'Is it good to have a cold?' to refute the master. ”
"But if I sue you,
"Okay, that's all I say, you can think about it yourself, and if you think about it, you can come to me."
Li Lin handed his business card to Cheng Zhijian, "I'll go record the song first." ”
Looking at Li Lin's back, several members of the Soul Band fell silent.
"Nonsense."
A person suddenly said indignantly: "In foreign countries, heavy metal rock is also one of the very popular music styles, which is not inferior to the so-called pop, or even more popular than pop, and has a lot of fans." ”
"Even in China, rock and roll is weak, but it is only weak, and sooner or later, rock will become popular and accepted by the public."
"We don't need to succumb to pop music at all, I suggest we continue to stick to our work, anyway, are we very popular now? Isn't it? ”
"Popular? Is it our popularity or is the song Glory Days popular? How long can an old instinct eat a song? What's more, this song is not sung by us yet. The other sneered, "I think we can try to do pop music, and if it works, we will transform, and I don't want to live the hard life I used to have." ”
"No, no, the reason why we got together in the first place was entirely because of heavy metal rock, and now let's give up, I'm the first to disagree."
"Of course you don't agree, your family is well-off, but we are different, we haven't become popular after so many years, it's time to try something else."
"What does it mean that I have a good family, yes, yes, I have a good family, but is it my fault?"
"It's not your fault, it's just that you should think about us." (To be continued......)
