Chapter 182 Shadow Writer
Since entering the company building of Future Entertainment, what Long Xirui is most afraid of is those who are familiar with Nie Yuanzhen and treat themselves as Nie Yuanzhen to talk to themselves, and finally stumbled through the level of Quanzhen's six sons, and now she has to deal with the so-called rumored boyfriend, at the critical moment, she had an idea, smiled at Zhan Quanfan, and said: "Adam, your previous album called "A Thousand Sails" has responded well in the music world, and it seems that several songs have achieved good results on the charts. ”
Listening to "Nie Yuanzhen" mentioning his new album with a clear eye, and there was no shortage of praise, Zhan Dufan suddenly smiled, and said excitedly: "Blanche, have you heard my album?" That...... Which of these songs do you like best? ”
"Of course, it is the title song of the first song on the album - "A Thousand Sails Over", and the song "Passing by Love", which also feels good."
Long Xirui said the name of the song well, and the reason why she knew it well was because Ouyang Ruosi once recommended the album "A Thousand Sails Over" to her, but even Ouyang Ruosi didn't expect her to listen to it carefully, and even said that she would carefully study the songs in that album.
After his eyes swept over the joy in Zhan Qianfan's eyes, as well as the surprise on Ouyang Ruosi and Li Lin's faces, Long Xirui continued: "I think the reason for the success of this album is mainly due to its distinctively passionate and unrestrained love song style. ”
Her comment made everyone nod slightly, and the recording studio unconsciously showed a high-fidelity quiet.
Long Xirui paused, broke the silence with a clear voice, and said: "Then, your next new album, instead of accepting it when you see it and trying a new style, it is better to take advantage of the victory and chase after it, and make use of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses." Over the years, you have gathered a high level of popularity and a relatively stable fan base with your usual style, so as long as you continue to play to your original advantages and keep coming out with new works, I believe that someone will naturally pay for it in the entertainment market, so as to maintain good record sales. ”
"Blanche is right." Ouyang Ruosi answered, "Adam, right now, you are in the golden period of the artist development stage, your fans (fans) are willing to pay for tickets to your concert, of course, to listen to your voice to interpret those moving love songs, what they like is you now, so you don't need to be in such a hurry to change yourself." ”
"Yes! Adam, the demos you like, if you look back and think about it carefully, it is true that you are suspected of changing your style. David also chimed in at this time, "Then Sister Rose, this song "Beautiful Scenery of Nanshan", as well as your appointment with the songwriter Shuai Bing, should you cancel (cancel) them together?" ”
"The demo (sample) matter will be put aside for the time being, and as for this handsome soldier, I still have to meet in person."
Ouyang Ruosi's somewhat contradictory-sounding answer made David seem to understand whether he understood it, and he finally nodded reluctantly.
If he hadn't heard the analysis of "Nie Yuanzhen", Zhan Dufan would inevitably be stubborn there, but now he has stretched his eyebrows, and said with a relieved face: "Or Blanche understands me, so the timing of the duet between you and me has to be postponed?" ”
Long Xirui smiled slightly: "My love song god, with your aura today, if my voice is combined with your voice, there will definitely be a crowd in your fan army who will rise up and hack me!" ”
Her self-deprecating humor made everyone laugh, and Zhan Qianfan forced a smile with a slight shyness: "That kind of brain-dead powder will always give people a headache, so don't pay attention to it at all."
Ouyang Ruosi changed the topic while laughing: "It seems that the current original market is really a bit depressed!" Shocking works are becoming more and more difficult to produce. ”
David nodded again and again: "It's either that the artistic conception is bland, or the pattern is too routine, such as the remaining demos (samples), some of which are obviously written in imitation of Adam's previous classic works, the style and lyrics are rubbing against plagiarism, just like the two North Drift combinations of Weeds and Yunyi, one writes lyrics, one composes, and constantly sends demos (samples) to the company, and even almost every singer under the company has written a song......"
"You're saying that those two people can tailor their work to different people and write different styles?" Ouyang Ruosi interrupted David and asked.
"It's a generalist who says it's good, and it's no style to say it's not good." David replied, "Also, unlike the most common form of lyrics, these two people are often lyrical, and they are often lyrical. I think this kind of writer is watery and has no shape in itself, but it is the shape of whatever container it is in, and the key is that it is not easy to carry the banner of 'originality'. ”
"Then I'd like to hear what their 'water' is shaped?" Ouyang Ruosi said and put the headset on his head.
As the melody slowly sounded, Long Xirui felt that the style of electronic music was really similar to Zhan Qianfan's songs such as "A Thousand Sails Passed" and "Passing by Love".
The demo (sample) of just over a minute had ended in a moment, Zhan Qianfan took off his headphones and shook his head gently, but saw Ouyang Ruosi sitting there with his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Sister Rose, does this demo make you feel a little sleepy when you listen to it?" Zhan Dufan asked rashly.
"Like! It's really like! Ouyang Ruosi said, but his eyes never opened.
"Is it more than like? It's like plagiarism! David said with a bit of disdain in his tone, "Just last month, they imitated Blanche's style and wrote a few demos (samples) for Izumi Sadachiko, but I returned them and replied: 'Izumi Sadachi is a singer-songwriter girl group, and Blanche has both lyrics and songs, so don't bother to write songs for Izumi Sadachi in the future.' ’”
At this time, Ouyang Ruosi suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Are those demos (samples) still in your hands now?" ”
"Sister Rose is really idle today! Then I'll look for it! With that, David flipped through the drawer next to him, pulled out one of the dozens of discs, looked at the marker marker on it, and said, "It's good that I didn't throw them all away." ”
With that, he slipped the disc into the stereo's optical drive.
Although Long Xirui can be said to know nothing about music, he can barely listen to a thing or two from a non-professional point of view, from the tune to the rhythm, it is basically in the same vein as the style of Izumi Sada's works, and even the female voice who sings the demo (sample) is trying her best to imitate the voice and singing style of Izumi Sadachiko.
When she squinted and peeked at Ouyang Ruosi, Long Xirui saw that she was listening intently and smiling at the same time, but she couldn't understand whether she was smiling because she was satisfied or bored.
"Emptiness has its form, but it does not have its spirit, and the traces of rigidity are too heavy." Zhan Dufan said at the end of the song, "Blanche, this kind of carving insect skill is simply an axe in front of you!" ”
Long Xirui couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, in fact, why didn't she follow the example of a toddler in a future entertainment company? Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in her mind, and she seemed to understand the meaning of the smile on Ouyang Ruosi's face at once.
"It's not ingenious, but it's a piece of work after all." Long Xirui said.
"If this is also a work, then they are really prolific." David sneered and said, "But most of them are still in the demo stage, and there are very few that can actually be put into records. ”
As he spoke, David looked at Ouyang Ruosi, only to see her get up from the sofa and say, "That's all for today!" Adam's new album still has to be done with David and collect more demos, but if you want to maintain the level of his last album, you would rather be lacking than overuse. ”
When leaving the recording studio, Long Xirui saw Zhan Qianfan squeezing his eyebrows at him, and at the same time making a phone call gesture with his right hand next to his face, so he had to smile.
The three of them entered the elevator, and Ouyang Ruosi said to Li Lin: "Immediately make an appointment with Yecao and Yunyi for me, and I will meet them in person." ”
A hint of surprise appeared on Li Lin's face, but then she nodded and said, "David should have their contact information over there." ”
"No, except for the three of us, we must not let the fourth person know about it." Ouyang Ruosi said solemnly, "And you have to find a way to contact them in person, right away!" Tell them that the company is going to sign up with them. ”
"Signing?" Li Lin asked a little confused, "Are you going to ask them to write songs for Adam?" ”
"It's not for them to write songs for Adam, it's for them to become Blanche."
As he spoke, Ouyang Ruosi turned his gaze to Long Xirui and said, "Turn them into your shadows." ”
Li Lin blinked, and suddenly realized: "That's right! Since the two of them are so good at imitation, they can try to help Izumi Sadachi write songs, but I don't know if they are willing to be shadow writers like anonymous. ”
"So I'll have to talk to them personally and find out more about those two people."
At this moment, the elevator door opened with a "ding", and Li Lin walked out quickly, saying as she walked, "Sister Rose, I'll do it." ”
Long Xirui actually had an insight into Ouyang Ruosi's thoughts, and said, "It seems that I'm not the only one who is using Blanche as a stand-in now. ”
"The works of those two people can only be regarded as jade at present, and they have to find someone to carve them carefully." Ouyang Ruosi said, "In the future of entertainment, nothing is impossible, just like yourself, starting from scratch, you already have the basic skills of dancing, and your speech and behavior are becoming more and more like an artist." ”
Long Xirui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But just now, weren't you afraid that I would show my feet in front of Adam?" ”
"If you can't even pass this level, how will you deal with the big scenes and more complicated interpersonal relationships in the future?"
"Is today a real combat exercise?"
"If you think so, then forget it! Next, it's your turn to sing. ”
"How can a person's singing voice be done quickly?" Long Xirui asked.
"Speed may not be important, but it turns out that you have to be a singer."
