Chapter 70: Eight Songs
70
Chen Beiming corrected seriously: "It's not that those songs are bad, but that those songs are not suitable for Miss Zhang." ”
"Teacher Chen, can you be more detailed?" Zhang Yunshang looked at Chen Beiming pleadingly.
Chen Beiming glanced at Zhang Yunshang seriously and found that this little girl did not mean perfunctory, but was very serious, truly open-minded and studious, and her attitude was also very sincere.
So, his heart couldn't help but move.
At this moment, he has a very important task, he has to help a new artist write a song and also have to successfully launch this new artist, and the new album must be at least a million sales.
Obviously, this Zhang Yunsheng sitting in front of him at the moment has great potential in this regard.
First, her musical background and literacy are not bad, and her singing skills are also okay, the only deficiency is that she is still lacking in the choice of personal style and the positioning of the album, but these can be checked by Chen Beiming;
second, this little girl's character is okay, and she does not have the arrogance and self-righteousness that girls of her age are used to;
Third, her family background is not bad, she should have a certain number of contacts, and after the album is done, there should be no problem with publicity and sales support in the later stage, which can be seen from the fact that her father actually set up a company specifically for her.
Of course, it's not without risk.
Weighing the pros and cons, Chen Beiming suddenly had an idea in his heart, and he also leaned forward slightly.
"Miss Zhang, let me tell you this, the songs you just showed me are all good songs, I know you must have put a lot of effort into it, but those songs are really not suitable for you, if you want to sing those songs well, not only do you require high singing skills, but also have a strong emotional explosion, but to tell you the truth, I don't think you have that ability, and, from another point of view, you are not suitable for that style, your character is not like that, you, gentle, quiet, have a strong classical taste, you are suitable for quiet, A song with a little sadness. So if you want to release your own album, you need to find the right positioning. ”
Chen Beiming's words made Zhang Yunsheng nod frequently.
Seeing that she was really listening attentively, Chen Beiming continued: "Let me give you an example, Angel, who debuted the year before last, do you know? ”
"Yes." Zhang Yunshang nodded.
"Her singing skills...... Not bad, right? ”
"She's got a good foundation, I know, she's pretty professionally trained." Zhang Yunshang nodded.
But why did the album she debuted the year before last only sell a pitiful 170,000 copies? The reason is very simple, Angel is suitable for singing fast songs and fast-paced dance music, but in order to catch up with the popular sweet song trend that year, that album insisted on stuffing seven or eight sweet songs into her album. ”
"I see!" Zhang Yunshang nodded, then stood up and bowed seriously to Chen Beiming: "Thank you, Teacher Chen." ”
Zhang Yun, who was sitting on the side, listened to it thoughtfully, and the emotion on his face disappeared.
Zhang Yunshang sat down and humbly asked again: "Teacher Chen, then in your opinion, what should I do now?" ”
"It's very simple, redefine the style of the album and re-select the songs." Chen Beiming replied.
Redefining the style of the album? Re-choosing?
Zhang Yun and Zhang Yunshang glanced at each other.
Truth be told, it's easy to say, but it's not easy to do, and to do it would mean to negate all the work that had been done before.
"Yunshang, you don't really want to do what Chen Beiming said, do you?" After Chen Beiming left the company, Zhang Yun asked Zhang Yunsheng.
But Zhang Yunshang didn't answer, she just kept her head down.
Back at home, Zhang Yunsheng's father glanced at her and was startled: "Yunshang, what's wrong?" Did that Chen Beiming do something to you? ”
Zhang Yun replied: "Second uncle, Chen Beiming didn't do anything to Yunshang, he just told Yunshang that if her album wants to sell well, it is best to re-choose the songs, and the previous songs are not good." ”
"None of them are good?" When Zhang Yunsheng's father heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was incredulous: "How is this possible?" Isn't the song of Mr. Xia Bin, the best creator in Xia Kingdom, good enough? ”
Most of Zhang Yunsheng's songs are obtained by him through his connections and connections, so each one is very good.
But now, Chen Beiming asked Zhang Yunshang to give up all those songs.
"This?" Zhang Yunsheng's father frowned suddenly: "Yunsheng, this is not a trivial matter, are you afraid that you can't just listen to that Chen Beiming?" ”
"Yes, Yunshang, the second uncle's words are really reasonable, if you give up all those songs, not only will those composers and lyricists have opinions about you, but also, Teacher Wang Yanbing, you will not be able to explain it." Zhang Yun also agreed.
Wang Yanbing is the producer of Zhang Yunshang's album. The style of this album is determined, as well as the song selection, he is the gatekeeper.
But Zhang Yunshang didn't speak, and sat down on the sofa for a while, she stood up, walked upstairs, and went to her bedroom to dial Chen Beiming's mobile phone with the phone.
"Hello Mr. Chen, I'm Zhang Yunsheng."
"Miss Zhang, hello."
"Teacher Chen, I want to ask you one thing, if I do what you say and don't use the previous songs, can you help me write a few songs that suit me?" Zhang Yunshang asked respectfully.
"Yes." Chen Beiming replied very simply.
"Mr. Chen, how many songs can you write for me?" Zhang Yunshang immediately couldn't wait to ask.
Chen Beiming on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "If I can, I can take it all." ”
All inclusive?
Zhang Yunshang was stunned.
An album is at least eight songs! What is the concept of all-encompassing, that is, at least eight songs must be created, and the style must be basically the same!
Such a thing - can Xia Guoyou's creators do it?
"Teacher Chen, you're not kidding me, are you?" Zhang Yunshang came back to her senses and hurriedly asked very rudely.
"Miss Zhang, I'm very serious."
hung up the phone, Zhang Yunshang sat in a daze, and he couldn't move for a while, but what Chen Beiming said was too shocking.
After a while, Zhang Yun and Zhang Yunsheng's father walked in.
"Yunshang, what's wrong?" Her father asked.
"Did Chen Beiming say something strange again?" Zhang Yun also asked.
Zhang Yunshang slowly raised his head: "I just asked Mr. Chen, and said that if I do what he said and re-select songs, then can he help me write a few songs, he said yes, I asked him again if he can help me write a few songs, and he said that if he can, he can take them all, that is, he can help me write at least eight songs!" ”
Yes?
Zhang Yunsheng's father was stunned.
What?
Zhang Yun's eyes almost rolled out of their sockets.
