Chapter 399: Opera 2 (I)
After listening to Lu Yang quietly, Li Lin raised his head and showed a confident smile, "You're right, this is indeed an unknown for ordinary people, but for me, it is not an unknown." ”
Just kidding, how could Li Lin, who has so much music knowledge in his head, be unknown.
"Confident?" Lu Yang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Every singer is very confident when they enter the United States, and they fantasize that they will impact the American market in one fell swoop and become a global superstar with their singing skills and songs." ”
"There are not only Chinese singers, but also kings in France, Britain, Australia and other places."
"Even those singers from English-speaking countries have failed in the process of impact, why do you think that you are the only exception?"
He is well aware of the difficulty of entering the U.S. market.
The ubiquitous racial discrimination, international discrimination, and pop music styles that are completely different from those of other countries have always made the kings and queens of other countries suffer enough in the process of impact.
For example, in China, the popular style is pop music, rock belongs to the niche, and heavy metal rock is the niche of the minority.
But in the United States, the pop music style, while also popular, is far less dominant than in China, and rock is not a niche music like it is here in China.
In the United States, rock is a real popular style, with a very wide audience, and there are many genres in it, such as hard rock, heavy metal rock, death rock and a series of music styles, which can be said to be extremely prosperous.
There are many other musical styles such as punk and country. It can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming.
Under such circumstances, it is actually very difficult for outsiders to break into the American market, because their music will not be popular with the American people at all.
"You can look at the song first."
Li Lin said seriously: "After reading the score. If you don't think my songs are good, then I'll listen to you. ”
"To be confident to the extreme is to be arrogant." Lu Yang smiled faintly.
"Self-confidence without strength is arrogance, and arrogance with strength is self-confidence." Li Lin said: "Don't look, how do you know that I can't do it?" ”
"Okay."
Lu Yang closed his mouth and swept his gaze over the music sheet in his hand, he disdainfully dismissed it.
People who think they are good are often very inferior.
But soon, the disdain in Lu Yang's eyes gradually faded. Instead, there was a surprise.
“Watchmeasdanceinupthespotlight……。”
He sang slowly, his voice was a little hoarse, and he didn't sing very well. There is a faint sense of strangeness in his pronunciation skills, and this pause knows that he has been practicing singing for a long time.
"Played with."
Li Lin secretly said in his heart, it is obvious that Lu Yang is spending his years here in a wasted place. The singing skills were also wasted. However, Li Lin thought about it for a while, and put away his regrets.
Lu Yang's profession is a recording engineer rather than a singer, and it doesn't matter if his singing skills are wasted, anyway, ordinary people can do this, at least at the level of Maiba.
“…… pushittothelimit,,giveitmore。 ”
Lu Yang slowly listened to it, and the disdain in his eyes had long since disappeared, replaced by a shock.
"This song ......."
His mouth trembled with excitement.
Others don't know. Isn't he clear yet? This song is a rap style song placed in Huaxia. It may just be good, but in a pop rap country like the United States, this song is definitely a hit.
As long as it works properly, this song is sure to become a hit.
"How did you write that?"
Asians can have such a deep feeling for rap, and they have written such a work, maybe this song is not a classic in rap, but it is definitely a good song.
"Of course I came up with it here." Li Lin pointed to his head and said with a pun: "How is it, my song is okay!" ”
"Yes, of course."
Lu Yang no longer had the idea of underestimating Li Lin just now.
He had to admit that there were geniuses in this world.
When he first saw Li Lin, he thought that Li Lin was a rich kid who didn't know anything, so he wanted to enter the entertainment industry, play music, play glory, and cheer.
Because Li Lin was too young, so young that there was no difference between him and the rich children he had seen playing music, he despised Li Lin at first sight.
However, when Li Lin took out "Glorious Years", he admitted that he was blind.
It is impossible for a rich kid who wants to play music and play with a family to come up with a classic score like "Glory Days", whether he writes it himself or buys it from others.
Music needs inspiration, but it also needs to be accumulated, and a classic like "Glorious Years" happens to need inspiration and accumulation, and no matter how talented people don't have enough accumulation, they can't create "Glorious Years".
And it is impossible for a songwriter who can create "Glorious Years" to hand over his classic work to a rich kid to waste, no matter how much money it is.
So he admits that he's lost his eyes.
After that, he paid attention to Li Lin all the time, he watched Li Lin rise from the voice, was recommended by music magazines, watched him create Chinese-style songs, and was praised by many godfather-level figures, and then watched Li Lin create Japanese songs and Korean songs, step by step towards the throne of the king of Asia.
He admitted that Li Lin was a genius and a ghost.
But he never expected that Li Lin would be able to create English songs, and he made extraordinary moves, which are top song works, and his songs were also rushed to be asked for in the European and American music scenes.
"I'm stupid, really." Lu Yang muttered, "I obviously know that there are geniuses in this world, but I want to doubt geniuses, isn't this a slap in the face?" ”
was slapped in the face twice in a row, and even though others didn't know about it, he still felt hot in his face.
"Since you have such a good song, start recording!"
"That's right."
Lu Yang suddenly remembered something, "You just have a song?" ”
"If there is only one song, it may not be able to bear it in Europe and the United States."
"The United States is different from China, in China, you can match a good song with a bunch of bad songs, and fans still buy it, but in the United States, if you have a good song with countless bad songs to form an album, your album will not sell."
"The most they can do is download your good song on the Internet."
"You have to keep that in mind."
Lu Yang has to admit that those international record giants are all familiar with the situation in the Chinese market.
Obviously there are good songs, they just don't take them out, and immediately lock them in the inventory after the copyright is recorded, and occasionally take a song out with countless bad songs to form an album to make money, but the fans buy it very much, and immediately scold it for being really bad after buying it, and then continue to pay for the record company tirelessly.
And the record is constantly making money like this.
"What about this song?"
Li Lin handed another sheet of music to Lu Yang, "After you read this song, do you think I will be that kind of person?" ”
And songs?
Not only Lu Yang, but even the recording engineer was shocked.
After Li Lin took out the score, they instinctively thought that Li Lin would write such a good song, after all, a good song is not a rotten cabbage, it can be written casually.
It's this kind of thinking that keeps them from asking questions like, 'Are there any other works?' Words like 'hand over all the good works'.
"Empiricism kills." The recording engineer scolded in his heart, "I would have asked for the score if I had known." ”
His heart was itching.
A good score is like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman for a recording engineer, and it is irresistible, but now that the score is in Lu Yang's hands, even if he asks for it, it is impossible for him to come back, so he can only endure it.
"Opera 2?"
Lu Yang's gaze swept over the name of the score, and he immediately became puzzled.
OperaHe only knows a Phantom of the Opera.
Then he swept down, and he hesitated.
"This is Russian?"
He couldn't read Russian.
"Uh......."
Li Lin didn't expect Lu Yang to not be able to read Russian, but he quickly thought of a way, "I'll sing it once, a cappella." ”
Ahem......
After tidying up his throat, Li Lin gently mobilized his breath and sang.
“Доммойдостроен,……”
A bland singing voice floated out of Li Lin's mouth.
"The singing is good, worthy of Li Lin."
The sound engineer praised it in his heart.
Among the people he has seen, Li Lin's singing skills are definitely in the top ten, that is, only a few old-timers in the music world can surpass Li Lin's singing skills.
As for the older ones, not so much.
It's not that you can't sing skills, but people are too old to sing some tones, even if you sing well when you're young, this is one of the reasons why you can't see the old people in the music world.
In other industries, the old man is a treasure, and the music industry is an old man and a grass.
"Not good."
Lu Yang said lightly, he was not touched by Li Lin's singing skills, of course he knew Li Lin's singing skills, and the so-called surprise faded when he paid more attention.
What he cares more about is the quality of Li Lin's songs.
To tell the truth, in terms of singing skills, because of the unique disadvantages of Orientals, in fact, Orientals are not as good as Westerners, such as lung capacity.
In this, the Orientals are at a disadvantage.
Therefore, it is basically impossible to conquer Westerners with their singing skills.
"If your song level is only this kind of Cheng dù, I will recommend that you release a single first to test the waters, lest your song drag down the "More" just now, and make a person who is not inside and out!" (To be continued......)
