Chapter 332: "Rabbit Dance" and "Butterfly"
It's embarrassing to say, Yang Yun's biggest trick is to copy the things of later generations, although he doesn't have a 500G hard disk, he doesn't have a portable system against the sky, he is just reborn as an ordinary person, but the knowledge he has received since he was a child is enough for him to appear in front of everyone as a creative genius, and those are all tricks that make others envious.
For example, the scripts of various classic games made him a game producer who is unmatched in the industry, and for example, the song and dance of this rabbit dance made the teachers and students of the Beijing Dance Academy regard Yang Yun as a ghost.
"Mr. Yang, what is the relationship between this rabbit dance and the you-never-can-tell sung by Huang Yingying?" Teacher He Ling, who was in charge of choreographing the dance moves, asked, "Why do you call them cute rabbit dances?" ”
Yang Yun smiled: "I was fortunate enough to see the filming set of the movie "Pulp Fiction" in the United States, and I was very interested in the writhing dance of 'Bunny Restaurant'. And I liked the disco king who was popular in the United States in the 70s, so I brought his moves back to China. Don't you think it's cool to have a V-shaped scissor hand swipe past your eyes?
As for the rabbit dance, the English name is actually called Penguin's-Game, the literal translation should be Penguin Game, this song has a stronger sense of rhythm, simpler movements, and from the perspective of commercial value, its circulation will be more extensive, unlike the twisting dance, in addition to the sole of the feet, the upper limbs should also have coordinated movements and expressions. ”
This dance is vividly performed by John Travota's Broadway stage style, and the classic signature move V-shaped scissor hand is slashed in front of his eyes. The other hand swiped in the opposite direction, becoming a dance move that thousands of fans remembered.
In Zhou Xingxing's "Changing Star King". There is a parody show of the same dance, and even the female companion's costume and hairstyle are exactly the same. It's a tribute to Pulp Fiction.
He Ling admired: "If I didn't know your details, I really thought you were a self-taught dance genius!" It's the same opinion within our house, most of the professional teachers love the You-Never-Can-Tell style of Broadway song and dance, but the students seem to love this more modern bunny dance, and look, they're dancing together! ”
While the girls were giggling and dancing the rabbit dance on their shoulders, a staff member of Longteng hurried over and handed over a cassette tape with a large number of Chinese and English lyrics.
"Butterflies?" He Ling's eyes are sharp. I saw the title of the song at a glance.
Yang Yun handed her the tape and introduced: "I went to the professional recording studio last night to make a demo sample, and they said that they would match me with electronic music and harmony overnight, and I haven't heard the specific effect yet, so I'm sorry for you." ”
He Ling turned off the tape recorder, clapped her hands and motioned for a dozen girls to stop, then put on the tape and solemnly pressed the play button.
The cheerful and rhythmic female voice quickly came out, after two lines of the main song. The classic chorus section echoes throughout the rehearsal room.
Ay,ay,ay
I’m-your-little-butterfly
Green-black-and-blue
Make-the-colours-of-the-sky
Then there is another verse, a few sentences later. The chorus is here again, and ayayay's voice continues from the beginning to the end of the song, making people's heads have this babbling echo. Lingering sounds.
The rhythm is simple and catchy. Short, concise, and easy to understand. There are no esoteric lyrics, no rap rhymes, and no poetic requirements of ancient Chinese style.
Therefore, all the people present who heard it memorized most of the melody after listening to it once, and then hummed along with it in their hearts, and their bodies involuntarily swayed to the rhythm.
Several little girls couldn't help but dance, and the long-term professional training made them more sensitive, and they soon found the dance feeling they wanted.
The lyrics are straightforward and superficial, the melody is easy to brainwash, the singing style is monotonous, the sense of rhythm is strong, the old and young will hum, and the chorus melody is constantly repeated, which makes people never forget, this is the request made by Yang Yun in the studio of the Black Leopard Band last night.
After Yang Yun hummed the whole song, the black leopard lead singer Luan Shu almost collapsed, his hands on the recording table, and even trembled.
Yang Yun did not provide chord and instrument requirements first, no general concept of the solo part, second, only simple lyrics of the chorus part, and the whole song had to be filled in by the black leopard elsewhere, and the third was also required to be sung by girls, which made the black leopard a group of old men staring at each other.
After humming the main melody, Yang Yun patted Luan Shu's shoulder and said, "Little tree, it's up to you whether the black leopard can become popular all over Asia!" If you make this butterfly, plus your "No Place to Shame", I guarantee that on May Day this year, China's first CCG, your Black Leopard Band will become famous and become the flag bearer of mainland rock, on a par with Beyonds. ”
Luan Shu shuddered with fright: "Mr. Yang, thank you for looking up to our band, but we really don't dare to compare with Beyonds casually." It's just this song "Butterfly"...... Can we sing the male version? Doesn't seem like a good fit, right? ”
Yang Yun laughed, the black leopard version of "Butterfly" is definitely not good, that scene makes people feel funny when they think about it: "The composer is Longteng, the lyrics are you, who is the singer for?" Think about it for me...... I'm going to have a demo tomorrow morning, and I'm pressed for time! ”
Seeing the lively scene in the dance choreography room, Yang Yun finally felt relieved.
The rabbit dance was handed over to Long Teng's own sound effect team before, but the effect he heard today, it was indeed not as good as the black leopard version of the butterfly, Yang Yun decided to hand over the rabbit dance to the professionals again.
However, he didn't plan to hand it over to the black leopard this time, after all, the rabbit dance is also a super popular saliva song, he thought about it, and decided to go back and ask Fang Huimin to ask the combination of Lao Lang and Gao Xiaosong to see if they were willing to be the producer of the rabbit dance.
And who exactly chooses to be the singer of these two songs, Yang Yun thinks about it, it seems that there are no female singers in the mainland who take this route, if it really doesn't work, it is not difficult for him to find a beautiful girl and make her popular as an Asian diva......
……
……
While the two new songs "Rabbit Dance" and "Butterfly" were being rehearsed intensively at the Beijing Dance Academy, Yamauchi Pu and Kutaragi Ken sat facing each other in a tea house in Tokyo, Japan.
This is not a level of negotiation opponent, and the person Sony is qualified to look directly at Yamauchi is the founder Akio Morita, but the latter has retired and no longer meddles in Sony affairs.
"President Yamauchi, Sony has done what it should do as promised, is it time for Nintendo to fulfill its promise?"
The strong Yamauchi Pu can be called the iron-faced god in Japan, everyone knows his ruthlessness and domineering, after Kutaragi Ken finished his request, he lowered his head again, only dared to look at the teacup in front of Yamauchi Pu, and did not dare to move his eyes upward.
Yamauchi Pu said a little lonely: "After two years, Sony and Nintendo have teamed up again, this is really the will of Amaterasu......"
Kutara Muken was respectful on the surface, but in fact he was a little contemptuous of the other party in his heart, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart: "Do you attribute everything to fate?" Haven't you ever wondered who led Nintendo to fail? ”
Enterprises controlled by powerful people are very effective in opening up a new era to conquer the world, but they are easy to collapse when they are successful at the end of the hero, especially family businesses, and emperor-like dictators are a big disaster for enterprises.
Nintendo and Sony are completely different in terms of business philosophy, the former is a typical East Asian company, while the latter is trying to get closer to the Western corporate management model, so Kutaragi Ken feels a little superior: "President Yamauchi, the CD-ROM standard from two years ago is still retained, when will we start discussing cooperation?" ”
Since the death of Junhei Yokoi in a car accident, Nintendo's internal body has come to the brink of collapse, elite management talent has been cut off, excellent R&D personnel have been suppressed, and game manufacturers that have cooperated for many years have switched to Sega.
The SFC platform is still alive because of the multi-platform games offered by many smaller companies, but sooner or later Sega will strongly demand exclusivity, and that will be the end of Nintendo's downfall.
Even with hundreds of millions of dollars in cash, Yamauchi can't sustain a vast empire for too long, two, three, or five?
Pu Yamauchi asked himself if he couldn't last two years, Sega's ambitions, Sony's ambitions, the rise and destruction of 3DO, this 67-year-old man watched this qiē with cold eyes, he has long passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, what else can't he understand?
"You can sign a contract tomorrow......" Yamauchi Pu said this sentence with difficulty, indeed a little unwilling.
It's just that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and many times, it's no longer up to him to count!

……
On May 1, 1994, the first CCG in China was held!
204 animation and game companies from 23 countries around the world participated in the exhibition, including Sony, Nintendo, and EA.
It is the first time for China to hold such an international exhibition, and with the habits of the leaders above, the scale must be huge, so as to reflect the strength of the Chinese and attract companies from all over the world to invest and discuss cooperation!
The 18 venues of the International Convention and Exhibition Center are all open, plus 3,000 square meters of outdoor activity areas and stages, including corporate displays, books and audio-visuals, toys and gifts, animation and games, department stores and food, original works, cosplay contests, fashion graffiti contests, Chinese traditional culture displays, etc.
Yang Yun deliberately got up early in the morning, and walked out of the hotel with Zhao Yongping before 7 o'clock, but saw the black crowd at the entrance of the exhibition, and the audience lined up in several long queues, couldn't help but be dumbfounded......
Is the Chinese enthusiasm for anime and games so high? Or, is this qiē the changes that Longteng has brought to China in the past five years? (To be continued......)
