"So fast?" Although Chen Luyu is not a singer and has never been engaged in song creation, he still has basic knowledge.

For a new song, from the creative start to the final production, a few months is not unusual. Even some people who strive for excellence can do it for a year and a half.

Completing a song in three hours is almost unheard of.

Liu Huan's hands were still spread, and he shrugged like an American. "If you don't believe it, there's no way, but I've seen it with my own eyes. You don't know, I was stunned. ”

"Can you not be stunned? Has Mr. Choi Jung-won really reached the level of the legendary seven-step poem? Chen Luyu was also surprised, curious about Cui Zhengyuan's creative speed.

"Probably not," Liu Huan shook his head. "He must have had a draft before, so he made it so quickly."

After a pause, he continued: "But it's also scary, and it's not the same as the speed at which we used to make music. ”

Seeing that Chen Luyu and the audience at the scene were very confused, Liu Huan simply made a cameo appearance as a literacy teacher for music production.

"In the past, when we made music, we would refine the score little by little when we had an idea in mind. This process is actually the most time-consuming. Without the accumulation of a process, the process of turning quantitative change into qualitative change cannot be obtained. ”

For a musical work, the song is its indispensable soul, which is a truth that even the music blind understand.

Without music, the lyrics alone can't express the connotation.

"With the tune, we also have to fill in the lyrics on it. With the words and the song in place, the outline of a song is clear. However, this is not the end of the process, on the contrary, it has just begun the process of carving. ”

"Is there still a lot to do?" Chen Luyu asked suspiciously.

In the hearts of ordinary people, if a song has a tune and lyrics, isn't it over?

"Of course not. The rest of the work is a key part of determining the quality of the song. Liu Huan vetoed her idea.

"Then Teacher Liu Huan wants to give us a good lecture, so that we, the music novices, can also understand how difficult it is to create a song." Chen Luyu was interested, sat up straight, and asked.

Liu Huan is also a good teacher, and he originally decided to popularize science, so naturally he won't stop there.

"For example, a song is more than three minutes long. We divide it into many parts according to the beat, and then process each part. For example, one of the four beats, the pitch of the tune, and the measure to which bar. Bass to which bar. That's not all, is this part better played on the pipa, or is it better to play it on the piano? When I have an idea in my heart, I will choose my own haode instrument and demonstrate it one by one. It's not over until you meet the requirements you have in mind, and then you start the next part. ”

"So complicated?" Chen Luyu's eyes were about to bulge out, otherwise it was not enough to express his shock.

Liu Huan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This is just the beginning, the real difficulty is still to come." Because now compose. In many cases, there is not one instrument involved in a part, and many instruments need to be played together to produce complex sound effects in order to meet the requirements. And so it goes. Which instruments to choose to match. Who is the main and who is the auxiliary? Which is the main chord and which is the finish? These have to be taken into account. And many times, the real situation is not what was expected. Then it is up to the composer to debug it little by little. ”

"Oh my God, doesn't that mean you spend most of your time making music in the studio? And you have to be proficient in 18 musical instruments? Otherwise. If you are not familiar with the quality of the instrument, how can you choose the right one? Like me, I can't tell the difference between the sound quality of the violin and the guitar, so I can't make a perfect song. Chen Luyu presided over quite well, and in a few words, he helped Liu Huan point out the theme.

The audience below also nodded in agreement, only to feel that it was so hard to make music.

Liu Huan finally found recognition and nodded with emotion. "Yes, when we used to make music, we got a whole bunch of people who were familiar with all kinds of instruments. Then, according to the assigned haode part, ask these people to play the required tune and then record it in the master tape. Then, it's all done by hand. That process is not ordinary hard work. ”

Chen Luyu couldn't get out of the shock and muttered: "In this way, making a song is still a very complicated project." ”

Liu Huan began to get to the point. "Originally, I also thought that this is how songs are made. But after watching Mr. Cui Zhengyuan's operation that day, I found that the Liliang of the original technology has reached this level. There's no need to collect a lot of instruments, or to draw a sheet of music with pen and paper. All this can be achieved with just one software. ”

"Is it really that amazing? As far as I know, there are more than 1,000 musical instruments in Shijie. Is it possible to synthesize all sound effects with one software? Chen Luyu's expression looked suspicious.

"Of course not." Liu Huan smiled, like an old naughty boy.

Although you are the best musician in China, Liu Huan's personality is not serious at all. Usually he is funny and approachable, and he is very popular with students and colleagues.

Without waiting for Chen Luyu to say anything, Liu Huan began to introduce the power of the software. "But this kind of music software has a function, that is, if it is the sound of an instrument that it does not record, you can record the sound of this instrument to the software and save it. If you want to use it in the future, you can call it up, which is much more convenient than having to recollect the instrument. When you add up, you will have more and more instruments saved in your software. ”

"This is really such a practical piece of software, wouldn't it suddenly free people from the complicated musical instruments?" Chen Luyu also thought of the power of the software and said with emotion.

Liu Huan thought about it for a while and said: "At that time, I talked to Mr. Cui Zhengyuan about this issue, but his words made me remember deeply. ”

He said that with the development of science and technology, it is an inevitable trend for music production to be faster and more intelligent. The professionalism of producers will also be greatly reduced, replaced by the ability to adapt to new technologies. In other words, a person, as long as he has basic knowledge of music theory and sufficient talent for conception, can use software to complete the production of a musical work. ”

"That's true, I can imagine it. For example, I hummed a melody casually, and alas, it felt pretty good. Then you can use software to implement this melody, and then expand it, and it's a concise song, isn't it? Chen Luyu seemed to have thought that he could also compose, so he said happily.

"Yes, yes, that's it. And although the cost of software is not low, the cost is still negligible compared to traditional methods. In other words, with the development of these new technological means, the way for ordinary people to step into the door of music has become much simpler. Liu Huan seemed to see the scene in the future where everyone can control music, and said with emotion.

"It seems that the musicians of our country still have a long way to go on the road to catch up with the shijie trend." Chen Luyu remembered the noisy topic of Chinese pop music in recent days, and said with feeling.

There was a commentator's article in the past, and Liu Huan's testimony in the back, which suddenly raised the question of how to improve the environment of Chinese pop music and seek a way out for the future to a new height.

The formation of public opinion has contributed to the first wave of systematic thinking about the future of Chinese pop music.

As with all cultural change, when this kind of thing starts to sprout, it will continue to thrive.

Until one day the barrier is broken and a qualitative change is triggered.

This time, China's response has been swift.

Soon after, led by the Ministry of Culture and major Chinese entertainment companies, an investigation team was formed to formally apply to the South Korean government for on-the-spot investigation and observation of various aspects of Hallyu.

Among them, the two most famous companies, A.P and S.M, are named and must be visited.

Hallyu is regarded as a pillar industry, and how to promote Hallyu culture to the world has always been an important issue for successive Korean governments.

This time, it attracted the attention of the Chinese government, which really made all walks of life in South Korea overjoyed.

Naturally, the application for inspection from the Chinese side was quickly approved.

A.P., which will welcome a foreign delegation for the first time, is also very concerned about this time, and President Han Sung-ho, Executive Director Choi Jung-won, and Director Cho Ki-tae jointly formed a special response team to start image improvement within A.P.

Although this is to share experience with Chinese colleagues, it is also a good opportunity to show their strength.

Whether or not we can participate in the wave of pop music reform in China in the future is very important.

But in fact, for Cui Zhengyuan, the latter is more important than the former.

The national conditions of China and South Korea determine that the Hallyu model cannot take root in China.

With the vigorous development of the economy, the living standards of Chinese are steadily improving.

And compared to the fierce competition in South Korea, China's society is definitely comfortable and outrageous.

In such a social context, it is unthinkable for Chinese children to work as artists after several years of hard work and sweat and extremely harsh exploitation according to the requirements of the agency.

Although the delegation has not yet come, Cui Zhengyuan already knows that this is destined to be a journey that ends without a problem.

Instead of this, it is better to show its strength and demeanor and lay a solid foundation for strengthening cooperation with Chinese partners in the future.

As for China's pop culture industry, it will definitely change dramatically in the future.

But this is not something that you can worry about and control, and if you rush into it, you may be swept up by a super big whirlpool. (To be continued......)
