Chapter 199: Competing for the Rankings (Part I) Fourth Update!
At nine o'clock in the morning, two songs were uploaded on Penguin Music.
For this king-level peak showdown, the two major record companies actually attach great importance to it.
The outside world often compares the two kings together, but no one knows which one is stronger or weaker, and this time the collision of songs of the same type is directly on the bayonet.
Tianfang Entertainment, Dong Fang and Wu Bo, the two uncles, sat on one side of the sofa, while Lu Xiaosu and Zhang Mingyu sat on the other side.
At nine o'clock, they turned on the penguin music and played Li Xin's "General".
After all, Taizu said: despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically.
As soon as the song began, the first thing they heard was the sound of the erhu, then the drums, and then the pipa cut in.
The atmosphere created by the prelude is quite good, and there is a sense of tragedy.
Next, they heard Lin Tong's singing.
"How's the level?" Lu Xiaosu actually couldn't hear what the level of singing Peking Opera was, so he could only ask the more professional Zhang Mingyu.
Zhang Mingyu said lightly: "It's okay." ”
The meaning is very clear, and it's worse than me.
This Uncle Yu is really "pretending to be like the wind, and he always accompanies me." ”
"Uncle Yu, have you always spoken like this?" Lu Xiaosu said a very bad sentence.
Dong Fang and Wu Bo glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile and said: "It wasn't really like this before, when he just ran out of the house, he was like a little white rabbit, and he didn't understand anything." ”
Zhang Mingyu glared at them, but didn't say anything.
Wu Bo said in a low voice: "His idol is your father, and he learned it from your father." ”
Lu Xiaosu: "......"
Awesome my dad.
Now I'm obviously silent, but I didn't expect you to be such a dad when I was young!
With their exchange, the opera part of the song at the front has ended, and then it is sung by Li Xin.
The song lasted for three minutes and forty-three seconds, and after the playback, Wu Bo pressed the pause button, looked at Lu Xiaosu and said, "What do you think of this song?" ”
"It's okay." Lu Xiaosu smiled and learned from Zhang Mingyu.
Zhang Mingyu looked at Lu Xiaosu's clean smile, and really wanted to pump him with the soles of his shoes.
"The characteristic of this kind of song is to be perfectly combined with opera, and in this song, Li Xin's personal characteristics are too strong, but Lin Tong has become a background wall-like existence, and it has become part of the accompaniment at all." Lu Xiaosu analyzed.
Wu Bo, as the music director, also nodded and said: "This song is excellent in terms of lyrics and songs, but Li Xin's frame is too big." ”
Yes, Li Xin's shelf is too big.
It's just that the song adds elements of classical instruments, but it is still Li Xin's original style in his bones.
said that it was a cooperation with Lin Tong, but it feels like Lin Tong is here to make a cameo, even if he sings two more words, this song can be more brilliant.
Now it's okay, Lin Tong sang two sentences before Li Xin started singing, and sang two more sentences at the end...... That's all!
Selling dog meat on a sheep's head!
There's no way, opera is in decline after all, how could the king of heaven be willing to let him steal the limelight?
"In fact, it is difficult to combine opera and pop, and it is not easy for everyone to listen to it without being abrupt." Zhang Mingyu said.
Obviously, Magnet Records' approach is definitely not the best, but it is certainly the most secure.
While the listeners haven't come back to their senses, this song may really be able to gain a wave of popularity.
It's just a pity that they ran into "The New Concubine Drunk".
……
……
Magnet Records, in Du Guobang's office, the battle is similar to Tianfang Entertainment.
Music director Zhao Fan, Tianwang Li Xin, and his wife Queen Xie Ying all sat quietly on the sofa.
In the computer, Zhang Mingyu's "The New Concubine Drunk" was played.
[That year's snowflakes fell and plum blossoms bloomed on the branches
There was too much sorrow left next to Huaqing Pond that year
Don't say who's who's wrong, what's wrong or right
I just want to get drunk with you again in my dreams]
At the beginning, it was Zhang Mingyu's pop singing.
Lu Xiaosu has always felt that his voice and singing style are really similar to Zhang Xinzhe, but the difference is that he can sing better than Zhang Xinzhe......
Lu Xiaosu even considered whether to take out "Over the Fire", "Love Like a Tide" and "Faith".
It's just that the recording of the new album has ended, and these songs may be going to be the next album or a future single.
I have to say that these songs are all absolute title songs!
After reading the lyrics and songs, Zhang Mingyu tried to sing a few words, if it weren't for the promotion of the new album, he might have directly postponed the release and added these three songs.
It's a pop love song tailored for him!
Zhao Fan and Li Xin have been listening very carefully, to be honest, the previous ones are just like that, it is indeed the level that Zhang Mingyu should have, but it is not much better than his other songs.
The accompaniment is similar to their "General", incorporating classical instruments such as the erhu pipa, but where is the good opera?
The first part of this song is also slightly integrated into the opera singing, which is a bit similar to "Wukong", but is the whole song like this?
If that's the case, this second creation of Lu Xiaosu is actually more like the second song "Wukong".
But soon, the chorus part arrived.
[Love and hate are in an instant, and the toast to the moon is like the sky
Love and hate, ask you when you will fall in love]
In just one sentence of Peking Opera singing, a few people present only felt goosebumps!
Too suddenly, really too suddenly!
No one expected that this song would be sung directly in the chorus part!
This is what everyone calls the climax! The climax part sings directly?
Unprecedented! No one has ever dared to play like this!
In their eyes, like "The General", the singing part is directly added at the beginning and end, which is already considered pioneering and innovative, and with the accompaniment of classical instruments, they feel that this song can lead the trend.
But compared with "The New Concubine Drunk", which directly uses Peking Opera for all the choruses, their steps are too small!
"Are we too conservative?" The thought crossed the minds of everyone at Magnet Records.
But it's not! It's obvious that the other party is too prodigal!
"How dare you play?" Zeng Jin was stunned.
Zhao Fan couldn't help but rub his nose and said: "He dares to sing in the finals in the unprecedented Chinese style, what else does he not dare?" ”
It seems to make sense......
But now it's not to convince us, hey!
The point is whether the audience can accept it or not! The point is which one the audience prefers!
"From a producer's point of view, I don't think the song is obtrusive. In the early stage, the slightly opera singing was more like foreshadowing, and then the chorus part was all Peking Opera, which directly reached the climax. Zhao Fan felt that he had been forced to learn another lesson.
Regardless of whether this song will be popular or not, this model is always worth exploring and learning.
The songs have already been passed on, and it doesn't actually make much sense to discuss them.
Then it's up to the audience!
……
……
At twelve o'clock at noon, Penguin Music's weekly list of new songs was officially updated.
