Chapter 429: Recording Songs
After singing the song, Li Lin listened to it, looking forward to Farrell's comments.
He was a little apprehensive.
The quality of the song "East Wind Breaking" is unquestionable, but there are two problems.
One is that he is now a cappella, and no matter how well he sings without accompaniment, he can't sing as well as with accompaniment, so it is unknown whether he will be accepted by Farrell.
The second is that Farrell is European and American, and Chinese style is aimed at Huaxia, and it is unknown whether he likes it or not, and whether he can accept Chinese-style songs.
He also has an idea in his heart, that is, to promote the Chinese style to the United States.
The first step to promote it is to get the buy-in of a professional like Farrell.
It is almost impossible for music that even musicians do not agree with to be recognized by the market.
"This song."
Farrell was also entangled.
He didn't like this style of music very much, because he thought it was weird, and he had an indescribable feeling, but he had to admit that this style of music was something he had never heard of before.
If Li Lin is not lying, then he has really created a new style of music.
"What's the name of this song?" Farrell spoke with a calm face.
He hadn't encountered this kind of thing yet, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
"East Wind Breaks."
Li Lin replied.
Farrell glanced at Li Lin deeply, then found a computer and looked at it online.
He doesn't know how to evaluate "Dongfeng Po", and he doesn't know whether "Dongfeng Po" is as Li Lin said. It's a new style of music he's composing, so he asked for help.
The first thing he landed on was Wikipedia.
Like Huaxia's Du Niang Encyclopedia, Wikipedia was also created by netizens themselves. Basically, as long as it's a thing, you can find its own encyclopedia on it.
As soon as I opened Wikipedia, Farrell searched for "East Wind Breaking", and soon, a page opened.
"East Wind Breaking", the first Chinese-style song, the pioneering work of Chinese-style. It is also a classic, this song was written, composed and sung by Li Lin. ”
When "Dongfeng Po" just came out, many netizens were hotly discussing "Dongfeng Po". Many musicians have given it good reviews. ”
"In Rolling Stone magazine, 'East Wind Breaks' was hailed as the best song of the year."
"Li Zongsheng, a well-known Chinese musician and the godfather of pop music, once said, 'East Wind Breaking' is a milestone work in the Chinese music scene, and it creates a Chinese style. It will surely become an indispensable part of the Chinese music scene. ”
Is it really created by Li Lin?
Farrell was incredulous.
How hard it really is to create a whole new style of music. Just look at the fact that musicians, whether they are famous or not, in today's music world, can't create a new style of music.
But Li Lin can create, and the most terrifying thing is that he really found that Li Lin created it.
Then he searched for the keyword 'Li Lin', and immediately searched for thousands of pieces of information, he clicked on Li Lin's Wikipedia and looked at it.
Li Lin, male, born in 1983, initially published his own songs on the Internet. It is the supreme god of the Internet. ”
After that, he was recommended by four major magazines with "East Wind Breaking" and was known as a musical genius. Since then, it has been out of control and has become a mess. ”
"In 02, Li Lin's first album "New Style" sold 10 million copies in Asia, and it was the only album with sales of more than 10 million in recent years, and it was also the annual music sales champion in 02."
"In 03, Li Lin officially stepped into the TV and film industry, thus opening his own film and television song road ......."
"In 03, a "Gate of Music" once again set a record of 10 million album sales, becoming the annual sales champion in Asia and the No. 1 selling singer in Asia.
In addition, Li Lin also released the Korean EP "Mask", the first and only Korean album "A Man", and successfully won the annual sales championship in South Korea.
……
"In 05, Li Lin officially entered the United States of America, and the single "Opera 2" won the first place on the US Billboard."
Judging from Wikipedia, Li Lin's information is very complete, and it can be seen that the person who wrote this encyclopedia is a fan of Li Lin, otherwise he would not have collected Li Lin's information so completely.
"It's been a glorious past."
Tens of millions of album sales are also a very remarkable number in the United States, where online music sources are popular, let alone Huaxia? He noticed the sales champion of the year.
"Two albums have exceeded 10 million in three years, Korean albums and EPs have won the annual sales championship in Korea, and his musical literacy is really high, it is not an exaggeration to call him a genius."
Farrell muttered inwardly.
It doesn't matter if the domestic album sales won the first place of the year, it is outrageous that Li Lin's Korean EP and Korean album both won the first place in the annual sales, which is explained by genius, there is nothing else.
Closing the webpage, Farrell has basically determined that the Chinese style was composed by Li Lin, and from the comments, Li Lin's songs are quite highly evaluated.
Milestones, even in the history of American music, have not been seen a few times.
MJ's mechanical dance is hailed as a milestone, but it's a dance, not a song.
"What do you say about your songs?"
At the end of the day, Farrell felt a little entangled, "This song is quite good, and you have indeed created a new style of music, and you have made a huge contribution to global music." ”
He first affirmed Li Lin's contribution, and then came to a twist, "But there is one biggest problem with your musical style. ”
"That is, there is no popular basis."
"I don't know how popular this style of music is in China, but as an American, this style of music is not accepted by me."
"I don't know if it's because I heard less or what's going on."
"I have a very tangled feeling when I listen to "East Wind Break", like hearing a garbage song."
"Of course, I'm not biased against the Chinese style, but I do feel that way."
You're rubbish, your music style in the whole of America is rubbish.
Li Lin complained fiercely in his heart, but after complaining, his heart immediately cooled down, even musicians like Farrell think that Chinese style will not be welcomed by the United States, and think that it is a garbage song, so ordinary Americans are afraid that they will be swept into the garbage heap after listening to it.
Of course, this is just my personal statement, and maybe the average American will like it, like Marilyn. Manson, like the murder dolls, I always felt that their songs were garbage and should be swept into the trash, but he was very popular, and I had to support his music outside. ”
"It's like shit."
Marilyn. Manson, the most famous and notorious industrial metal band in the United States, their music style is very dark, advocates rebellion, and is full of genderlessness, murder, intrigue, death, perversion, and so on.
It can be called the coexistence of perverts and talents.
At their most active moment, many young people imitated them and pursued them, and it is said that many serial killers and psychopathic killers are their fans.
And they are also listed as undesirable by American parents, and even record stores refuse to sell their records, but the more this happens, the more people who like them like them, and many teenagers imitate their style and play with pies in dilapidated warehouses and wine cellars.
Even quite a few Americans rank them first on the list of the top 10 most talented artists.
And the murder doll and Marilyn. Like Manson, their musical style is equally oppressive and full of death, as can be seen from the name of their band.
If Marilyn. If Manson was the band that was pursued by rebellious youth in the last century, the most popular one now is the murder doll.
and Marilyn. Manson's industrial metal style is different, and the music style of the murder doll tends to be mainly hardcore punk, death metal, and heavy metal.
But in the same way, their songs are full of rebellion, repression, evil, death, murder, etc., and again, many musicians and parents don't like them.
There are even many music critics who denounce their music as 'garbage', 'polluting the ears', 'teaching bad teenagers', and 'should be banned'.
More parents are demanding that record stores stop selling their records, fearing that murdering dolls will spoil their children.
It's normal that Farrell doesn't like them.
"I'll try!" Li Lin hesitated for a moment, and secretly decided to put the song "East Wind Breaking" into his English album.
"Let's start recording an album, two."
Meria, who had been silent, finally couldn't help it, "There are other singers waiting to record them, so don't waste your time here." ”
"I know."
Farrell looked at Merial dissatisfied, but he didn't say much, just took Li Lin into the recording studio, "This is where we record, and I will strictly control the next album." ”
"I hope your singing skills won't be sorry for your songs."
"No, it won't."
Li Lin walked into the recording studio, put on the headset, and soon entered the state of recording, although the environment here is not the same as the environment in Huaxia, but the moment he put on the headset, he immediately found the feeling.
“whocanrockarhymelikethis……。”
He sang a little cappella, then paused, "I'm ready to go." ”
"Good." A smile appeared on Farrell's face, "I like a confident singer like you, but I'll let you know later, there is no singer under my command who can be so confident." ”
"Because of my strictness, it's not comparable to ordinary sound engineers." (To be continued......)
