Chapter 724: Tan Don's Suggestion
"Although you and Jay Chou are both pop music superstars of the new generation in China, but at the same time, they are also top musicians, although there may be a slight gap compared to the older generation of musicians, but I believe that in terms of the age of the two of you, to reach such a level, the future is absolutely limitless, and even now, it is already very good!"
"Between me and Jay Chou, there is no intersection at present, and I have not been in contact with him, but I am fortunate to exchange music with you today, and I think you are quite accomplished in this area, I have a proposal here, listen to it?!"
Listening to Tan Dun's words, Menjie nodded slightly, not even the slightest bit of embarrassment or modesty.
Because......
It's not just Tan Dun who said this, such a statement has basically been recognized by the entire Huaxia today!
Before Menjie's official rise, basically among the new generation of music producers in China, Jay Chou, the creator-type super popular king, is respected, even if it is not comparable to popularity and singing skills, it is unmatched in terms of composition, and it is proud of the same batch of musicians.
Even if it's not as good as those veteran musicians, it's not much different.
However, after more than two years, after Menjie became popular quickly with an extremely rapid attitude, there was one more genius in the film and television industry, a genius in the music industry, and another genius musician!
Although the music style is slightly different from Jay Chou's, it can also fully show that Menjie's attainments in music creation are still relatively high, at least among the same batch of singers and musicians, he is definitely proud of everyone except Jay Chou!
And if Menjie and Jay Chou are compared, although Menjie's fame is not as good as Jay Chou. But in the minds of many professionals, it is naturally a traditional and popular love song, which can be liked by them.
Jay Chou's advantages are also in Chinese style and innovation, and he has also won the popularity of countless musicians.
In terms of popularity, there is a big gap between the two, if it is really a super popular king, it will naturally be Jay Chou who wins, but if you compare the creative ability of the two in music, it still has to be handed over to those professional musicians.
And in this regard. The support of Men Jie and Jay Chou is almost half and half, probably because Jay Chou's fame, popularity, awards and other objective factors far surpass Men Jie, but it also slightly overwhelms Men Jie.
Of course, not a lot!
In evenly matched. The countless musicians who support Jay Chou can't directly defeat the musicians who support Menjie. Everyone doesn't know when it is. directly took Menjie and Jay Chou, and each took a title.
Men Jie is the first musician of the new generation in the mainland, and Jay Chou is naturally the first musician of the new generation in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.
did not directly classify the two into the category of Huaxia. compared, but divided the territory of China into two parts, and the two men and Jie are the first musicians of the new generation in this territory.
It's like the title of 'South Murong and North Qiao Feng' in the novel, at least from the outside. It's not up or down.
Now, Tan Dun directly took out such an aura on Menjie's body to talk about things, and Menjie was naturally not too surprised, or modest.
After all......
This is the honor that Menjie should have received!
What really makes Menjie curious is what the advice Tanton said will be!
"Mr. Tan, I don't know what kind ......of suggestion you said?"
"That's right!"
Seeing that Menjie accepted the title of "the first musician of the new generation in the mainland" calmly, Tan Dun also felt that Menjie was above board, and at the same time, he was more confident about the next suggestion, and hurriedly said to Menjie.
"I think you should also know that although I have some experience in composing, I am ...... in lyricism I've never been very good at it, and I usually look for other lyricists to write the lyrics for me, but those very famous lyricists, usually, hehe, rarely agree to work with me, and I've always been not very satisfied with the lyrics of the songs I composed! ”
Nodding slightly, Menjie also agreed with Tan Dun's statement.
Indeed, Tan Don has a high attainment in composing, but in terms of lyrics, he is completely a layman.
And he is surrounded by the aura of world-class composers, if he finds those lyricists who are not well-known and not strong enough, their words are indeed not worthy of Tanton's songs, and the songs that are finally born will naturally be slightly flawed.
But if you look for those so-called famous people who are somewhat famous, people will not agree!
If those famous lyricists had agreed to write the lyrics for Tanton's tune, it would have been a thankless task, and they would not have agreed at all!
The words are filled in, this song is popular, people will say that it is the credit of Tan Dun, and his own aura will be crushed into slag, no one will pay attention to it at all, and it will not have even the slightest benefit to its own development.
If this song didn't become popular after the worst, no one would think that it was the problem of the world-class composer Tan Don, but his mistake, in the end, not only did he gain nothing, but also hurt his reputation, it was completely a thankless thing, and no one would do it.
It is precisely for this reason that Tanton's tunes are usually released directly without words, or the words are more scum, without exception.
It is precisely because of this that Tan Dun took a fancy to the Men Jie in front of him.
It is true that Tan Dun understands in his heart that Menjie's talent in lyrics is very high, and he can even be said to be a top composer of the new generation, but Menjie's talent in lyrics is also quite high.
Don't you see, aren't the songs and lyrics of the songs created by Menjie himself all written by Menjie himself?
Although in Tan Dun's opinion, Menjie's ability in composing music is far beyond Menjie's ability in lyrics, no matter how bad it is, it won't be worse than himself, right?!
On the one hand, he wanted to let Menjie help him write the lyrics for the song "I Repay Love with All" to help himself, and on the other hand, it was also because Tan Dun wanted to take the school exam to find out whether Menjie really had a genuine level or something.
Of course, after the most and the last, Tan Don still had another idea in his heart.
If Menjie can withstand his own test and do a good job, Tan Dun himself doesn't mind at all, and gives Menjie something to form a good fate.
Say......
This tune that Tanton just wrote!
"Mr. Tan, do you want me to fill in the lyrics for your song "I repay love with everything", right?!"
With a chuckle, Menjie didn't have the slightest disgust at this, and asked with a chuckle.
"Yes, that's what I thought!"
Nodding slightly, Tan Dun did not deny it, but said to Menjie directly.
"This song was originally created by me for the movie "Night Banquet", but in terms of lyrics, I am not very good at it, so I am not ready to interfere, but presumably Menjie, as one of the actors of the movie Night Banquet, should not mind and fill in the lyrics for the theme song of the movie starring you, right?"
"Of course I don't mind!"
Nodding slightly, Menjie's heart moved, but he looked directly at Feng Xiaogang on the side, and couldn't help asking, "But what I want to know is ...... This song "I repay love with everything" is ready to be sung by whom! ”
On the surface, he didn't mind, but in Menjie's heart, he was really a little dissatisfied.
After all, in the song "I repay love with everything", even if Men Jie fills in the lyrics, he will definitely become a vassal of Tan Don, except for being able to befriend Tan Don, he will not help even half a point for himself.
Moreover, if Menjie carries over this work, he will use the Tianwang system to exchange the lyrics of this song, and it will cost 250 points.
250 points, for Menjie, is not a lot, and it can even be said to be very rare, but no matter how small the mosquito legs are, it is meat, for the sake of momentary anger, Menjie spends 250 points, there is no need for this!
However, Menjie didn't want to lose face in front of Feng Xiaogang and Tan Dun, just as Menjie hesitated, an idea involuntarily appeared in his mind, or a plan, and hurriedly confirmed it to Feng Xiaogang.
"I haven't decided yet, but the investor of the movie "Night Banquet" is our Huayi Brothers Company, and Tan Dun was also invited by Huayi Brothers to write the tune, although it is mainly for my face, but I think the singer of this song should be appointed by the company......
"No!"
Just as Feng Xiaogang was speaking, Tan Dun on the side suddenly spoke up, "When I communicated with Brother Huayi before, there was an agreement that in terms of the singers of this song, Brother Huayi only has the right to recommend, and the final decision is still in my hands, so ...... It's up to me to decide who the singer will be! ”
He is worthy of being a world-class composer!
With a move in his heart, he knew that the singer of this song had the right to decide, and after it was in the hands of Tan Dun, not in the hands of the Huayi brothers, Menjie felt a pang in his heart, and he looked down on Tan Dun's identity and status.
At the same time, Menjie also knew in his heart that the Huayi brothers were indeed right to do this.
After all, unless Tan Dun suddenly is very, very optimistic about a certain star for a while, otherwise, even if it is for the sake of the face of the Huayi brothers, even if the singer of this song decides in his own hands, he will also agree to go down the river after the Huayi brothers recommend the singer, under normal circumstances, as long as there is no problem, then the singer of this song is still decided by the Huayi brothers.
