Chapter 34: The Music Producer
In the recording industry, the music producer is a very important role. His tasks include controlling the scheduling of recording projects, training and mentoring new musicians, organizing the scheduling of production budgets and resources, overseeing the recording process, mixing and mastering.
In some ways, a music producer is like a director, whose task is to produce, design, and produce songs that fit the style of the album, but album producers are rarely responsible for raising funds, but are hired by someone who has the money (usually the record publishing house or the artist himself). Beginning in the second half of the 20th century, music producers began to engage in some broader, more creative work.
In recent years, due to the marketization and industrialization of music, the requirements for music producers have gradually become more demanding, in addition to being able to make enough haode music, but also to have a keen insight into market changes, to guide the songwriters, arrangers, recording engineers, and mixers of the record, according to the changes in the market to adjust the changes of the record, to meet the needs of the market.
In front of the computer, Moon Yee-woo called up the information of the music producer and pointed it out to Kwon Zhilong.
Quan Zhilong frowned: "I don't need to check the information, I also know the responsibilities and meaning of the producer." You don't have to show me this. β
Wen Yanyou shook his head: "It's necessary, because I found that whether you or the president, you think about the producer too simply." What can I do? You're going to train me in this direction...... Besides, my goal is to be an idol. can shine on the stage, not behind the scenes. β
Quan Zhilong smiled: "This is not a conflict." I forgot to tell you that this time you and I are in the same hands, and you seem to have overlooked. It's training, not letting you serve now. β
Wen Yanyou leaned to the side and looked at Quan Zhilong: "Then you say, what talent did I show that made the president have this idea?" From YG to now, I have assisted you in the production of a song "Lies". I wasn't involved in anything else. What is the basis for the development in this direction? β
Quan Zhilong didn't reply, just swiped the mouse to pull down the information page: "Look here, don't just ask me to see it." Check out this column for music producer requirements here. β
Moon stared helplessly at the screen, looking at the seven basic requirements for a music producer.
1. Keen familiarity with the performance ability of various musical instruments and the way to play musical instruments
2. Good haode musicality (grasp of the musical style portrayed by the rhythm of the music)
3. Ability to control the optimal combination of music form and music paragraph structure
4. Ability to appreciate music theory, basic harmony, and famous Chinese and foreign songs
5. Have a broad understanding of composition, orchestration, and pitch performance techniques of various instruments
6. Grasp the needs and orientation of the market.
7. Master and perform the style of the singer and the work in place.
Wen Yanyou looked at them one by one, and pointed to them with a serious expression: "I can't do the sixth article yet, and the seventh article is only limited to the song "Lies". I don't know much about BIGBANG. β
Quan Zhilong smiled and pushed his head off the screen: "You are really shameless." The implication is that you meet the first five, right? β
Seeing that Wen Yangyou didn't have the slightest idea of embarrassment, Quan Zhilong groaned: "Even I don't dare to say that the first five can be done now." β
Wen Yanyou was stunned for a moment, scratching his head and looking at him: "Mo? Is it the privilege of the seniors? You can't do it, I can't do it, can I?! β
An elbow was given to Wen Yangyou, who smiled and clutched his chest and fell back to the bed.
Sighing softly, Wen Yanyou looked at the ceiling: "People are always like this, they know it, but they don't believe it, and if they believe it, it's easy to forget." At first, I just thought about my variety show debut, and I didn't think much about anything else. Now what's going on? In a short period of time, the future route has changed again and again. Now that even the producers have come out, it's really ......"
Quan Zhilong's expression was complicated: "Who made you have the ability?" I've never seen the direction in which the president trained me to be a lyric singer. weishenmeοΌ Because I have an average singing voice except for rap. Neither he nor myself, ever had hope. Choose only the most suitable route. You stand out in everything, and you understand that this is the reason why no one wants to help you make your debut in such a hurry. Even if the president agrees to help you, you must tap all your potential as much as possible and pave a path that allows you to develop in as many directions as possible. β
Wen Yanyou paused and looked at Quan Zhilong: "You know a truth, right?" β
Quan Zhilong's expression was puzzled, and Wen Xiyou coughed lightly: "When you run alone, the fastest speed is ten seconds." If you run with someone who is faster than you, you may be able to run a time of nine seconds. β
Quan Zhilong was even more puzzled: "What do you want to say?" β
Wen Yanyou stepped back and looked at him with a smile: "Feeling...... You seem to be a lot more mature than when you first met. Is it because of too much contact with me? β
Quan Zhilong rubbed his head, and suddenly pulled out a pillow from under Wen Yangyou's body and smashed it at Wen Yanyou like crazy. Wen Yanyou resisted with a smile, and didn't snatch the pillow until halfway.
Quan Zhilong panted and pointed at him: "Your mouth is really, I want to pull out all your teeth now." β
Wen Xiyou smiled, revealing a mouth full of neat and white teeth: "You don't rely on your teeth to speak." Let's pull out the tongue. β
Quan Zhilong calmed down his emotions and waved his hand irritably: "Let you bypass it again." Get down to business! β
Pointing at the screen, Quan Zhilong glared at Wen Yeyou: "Brother Teddy originally recommended me to be the producer of "Lies". He wanted to develop a producer who shared his own pressure and workload. Now he is the signature of YG in the company, but the work is also heavy. β
Wen Yanyou nodded: "Then you can do it." I'm actually optimistic about you, too. After all, you've been practicing hiphop for five years. I've dabbled in this style, but I'm not as proficient as you. You are the best fit to be the producer of your own work. β
Quan Zhilong shook his head: "Come less." I don't know you, you might think so. But "Lies" has been made, can you still say that you yourself are not proficient and unprofessional in hiphop? So what does it mean to be proficient in a profession? β
Wen Yanyou's expression was surprised: "It's just that the inspiration is here, can you count this into my ability?" β
Quan Zhilong nodded: "No way." From my own lyrics and music to the present, "Lies" is my most satisfying work, not one of them. And you can create such a creation just because you are inspired, I don't think there is any other explanation than that you are proficient in the profession. β
Wen Yangyou touched his nose: "Maybe you haven't thought about other reasons, such as being talented......"
Quan Zhilong stopped slowly but still didn't stop, and let him speak.
Take a deep breath and look at Moon Ye-woo's smiling face. Quan Zhilong persuaded himself to hold back: "Brother Teddy doesn't understand you, so he recommends me." But I have the same idea as the president, and we both favor you to take the position. If you say that you and I co-wrote the song "Lies", it doesn't matter if you win or lose. But at least I'm creating out of thin air, but you have a clear context and jihua. I don't think much about that. I think you're more competent than I am. β
Wen Yanyou helplessly lay on the bed: "Let me go, okay?" I just want to make my debut, variety shows don't matter. I'm very satisfied that I can post digital singles to be a singer. I'm not as good as you say, and you're all overestimating me. β
Quan Zhilong ignored him and spoke calmly: "Of course, just like you said. For the time being, you and I are still lacking. So now we're all only responsible for making a small part. I will be responsible for the atmosphere of the MV, and I will also be the leading actor. And you're in charge of recording. How about the five of us play "Lies" at a 200 percent level. β
Quan Zhilong returned to his bed with a smile, finished speaking, and looked at Wen Yanyou, who was frowning and looking at the ceiling: "Okay." I'm only responsible for conveying the meaning to you, and it's your business how you think about it and how you discuss it with the president. β
Tilting his head to look at him, Quan Zhilong looked sincere: "But I mean to let you accept it." This does not conflict with your principles. β
Seeing that Wen Yanyou's brows were getting tighter and tighter, Quan Zhilong waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't think about it." It seems to hurt you. β
After a pause, Quan Zhilong said casually: "Talk about music." In the past four years, you have practiced singing and dancing very well in all aspects, and you have a wide range of knowledge. But you always have your own favorite style, right? β
Wen Yanyou was really obedient, and said that if you don't want this, you don't want to. Just like Quan Zhilong said, it didn't have much conflict with his own principles, nor did he harm himself. Sometimes they're right, and they're extreme. It's easy to overthink simple things and end up getting bogged down. Debut is only one of the goals, and if it doesn't work out later, it slowly falls silent. It's no different from not debuting.
Raising his head, Wen Yangyou looked at Quan Zhilong: "You may not believe it when you say it, but in fact, what I personally like is the lyrical style." β
Quan Zhilong was stunned for a moment, and sat up with a surprised expression: "Slow song? β
Wen Yanyou shrugged: "It's unexpected, right?" β
Kwon Zhilong frowned: "Hiphop is not easy in the Korean song industry where dance music is dominant. This "Lies" is estimated to have to be changed, when will it be changed to the point where I am not satisfied with myself, and I estimate that the president and Brother Teddy are satisfied. But that's also the product of a compromise between the market and style. If you want to succeed with slow songs, the road is not too easy to follow. Especially solo. β
Wen Yanyou smiled: "Just like it, it doesn't mean that I will definitely develop in this direction." With my skills, it's not easy to write a popular dance song? β
"Yikes! Yikes! β
Quan Zhilong shook his head tangledly: "Wen Yanyou, I'm speechless." Are you born that narcissistic? As he spoke, he became smug again. β
Wen Yanyou smiled, unimpressed.
Quan Zhilong paused, leaned over and said, "You better do what you said first." β
Wen Yuyou was stunned: "What did I say?" β
Quan Zhilong took the quilt and covered his body: "You said that you don't care about cooperating with others. And if you want to be famous and popular, you don't need to use the name of "Lies". Then you write a piece that compares to "Lies". β
Wen Yanyou nodded: "Then you wait." When my brother returns to the music scene, he will let you see it. β
With a bang, a book was thrown over.
Wen Yanyou smiled and dodged, Quan Zhilong glared at him: "You kid is getting more and more arrogant." Who are you? β
Wen Yanyou didn't answer him: "I don't dare to say that it is more than "Lies", but the work I completed independently will definitely not be worse than it." It's a promise, and you'll hear it one day. Time...... It won't be long. β
Quan Zhilong chuckled and turned off the lamp. I can't see people, but the words reach my ears.
"I wait, hopefully...... Don't let me down. β
"Don't worry, it won't. When the time comes...... Don't be ashamed to hide under the covers and cry. β
"...... of Woo You"
"What are you doing? Is it so ambiguous that you are afraid of regretting? β
"You are mainly engaged in variety shows, but you have temporarily given up your career as a singer. sunnyxiβ¦β¦ You know? β
