Chapter 153: Ten Hits
Zhou Ting previously said that his album has nine songs.
Song Yu is a person with a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder and wants to be consistent with his first album, so he chose ten songs.
It is undoubtedly a fool's dream for an average singer to write ten hits and stuff them into the same album.
And only those who have opened the plug-in can do it.
Song Yu put a lot of thought into choosing these ten songs.
After all, in a sense, it's hard to decide.
There are really a lot of good songs in the previous life.
However, in order to cut off the topic, Song Yu's idea is that there are two sides of light and darkness.
Light, of course, does not refer to any exceptionally inspirational and bright songs, but the kind of relatively normal pop music.
Dark, naturally, is not the kind of gloomy and weird song, let alone make people feel uncomfortable and want to commit suicide when they listen to it, but it is a style.
There are relatively few classic songs of Dark Wind, and he originally wanted to make up five, but in the end he felt that he didn't need to be so deliberate.
Anyway, there is Dong Chou's song.
The first song, "Seven Miles of Fragrance".
Song Yu had already set a song.
There is no need to introduce too much at all, one of Jay Chou's masterpieces, and one of the most pinnacle songs.
Of course, the pinnacle song, everyone has a different answer in their hearts.
Song Yu prefers "Qili Xiang".
This song was included in Jay Chou's 2004 album "Seven Miles of Fragrance".
Inspired by the poet Xi Murong's "Seven Miles of Fragrance".
Therefore, the lyrics are quite poetic, and there is nothing wrong with treating it as a modern poem.
Of course, the composition and arrangement are not inferior in the slightest.
won various awards that year, which is definitely an unavoidable song in Chinese music.
The second song, "Blue and White Porcelain".
After the birth of Chinese style, to now, for so many years, this song is undoubtedly a mountain that is difficult to surpass.
It is taken from the Ru kiln porcelain that was once flourishing in the Song Dynasty.
There are only more than 70 pieces of Ru kiln treasures in the world, which can be called the important treasure of the country and are precious.
And the purest Ru kiln has only one color, that is, azure.
After Song Yu prompted the Chinese style to appear, there were not many works.
"East Wind Breaking" counts as one song, "Little" counts as one, "Thousand Hundred Degrees" counts as one song, "New Concubine Drunk" counts as half a song, and there is an unpublished "Shocking Side".
Many people don't recognize him as a Chinese style ancestor.
And this song will gag everyone's mouths.
Even Jay Chou is difficult to come up with a Chinese-style song that surpasses "Blue and White Porcelain".
The third song, "Loyal to the Country".
Originally, Song Yu planned to stay at this year's National Day Gala to sing.
After all, it fits perfectly.
But when he was thinking about the theme song of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he suddenly thought of this song.
It's also a great fit.
"Jing Zhong Serving the Country" is written by Yue Fei, and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has something related to him, "Wu Mu's Testament".
Besides, the biggest evaluation of the protagonist Guo Jing is that he is a great man, for the country and the people.
It does not conflict with "Loyal to the Country".
Song Yu then used this song as the theme song of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and put it into the album by the way.
With its quality, it does not disappoint.
This song is simply one of the masterpieces of patriotic songs.
Song Yu was impressed that when he was in high school and university military training, the instructors would teach "Serving the Country with Loyalty".
The fourth song, "A Laugh in the Sea".
Since there is a theme song, there must be an ending song.
Anyway, the king bomb has already been played, and Song Yu doesn't care about another pair of king bombs.
He chose the Chinese version of "A Laugh in the Sea", sung by Luo Dayou, Tsui Hark, and Huang Hao, full of the taste of rivers and lakes.
The fifth song, "Invisible Wings".
One of Zhang Shaohan's masterpieces, an absolute inspirational divine comedy, has a very great influence.
From the melody to the lyrics to the folk style, the songs give people the power of hope, warmth and stability.
In 2009, he even became a college entrance examination essay topic in a certain place, and he was also the first singer to be used for college entrance examination essays.
This song is actually more suitable for female voices.
But the male voice will not be bad.
And Song Yu's fans are called feathers.
He can totally say that the song was written for fans.
In this world, although there are singers who write songs for fans, there are only a handful, and none of them can get out of the circle.
Needless to say, the quality of "Invisible Wings" is naturally good, and Song Yu can definitely circle a wave of fans.
The sixth song, "Blue Lotus".
One of the masterpieces of rock and roll is also one of Xu Wei's masterpieces.
The song is actually less rock and more folk.
But it is precisely this lyrical style that makes "Blue Lotus" more shocking and singing.
The seventh song, "The Sea and the Sky".
The masterpiece of Cantonese songs may also be the pinnacle, with an incomparable reputation.
Song Yu released a Cantonese song in "The Masked Singer", and the sales were good, so he thought about releasing another song on the album.
After thinking back and forth about many Cantonese songs, I finally chose this song.
In addition to the quality itself, it is because the ideas it expresses are very bright and inspirational.
The eighth song, "In the Name of the Father".
Known as the pinnacle of Jay Chou's god-level works, it has created a precedent for dark wind songs.
On the day of its release, the song was broadcast live on more than 50 radio stations across Asia, with a terrifying 800 million listeners.
A song with the ultimate special style.
Even now, it will never go out of style, and it will feel ahead of its time.
Song 9, "The Seventh Chapter of the Night".
is also Dong Chou's dark wind song, but in terms of arrangement, it is really the best.
The tenth song, "Dark Incense".
The theme song of "Gold Dust World" is a model of a song that eats a lifetime.
Ten songs, in fact, are divided into several styles.
Love songs "Seven Mile Fragrance", "Blue and White Porcelain" and "Dark Incense".
The archaic style of "Loyal to the Country" and "A Laugh in the Sea".
Inspirational "Invisible Wings", "Sea and Sky" and "Blue Lotus".
"In the Name of the Father" and "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" by Dark Wind.
Generally speaking, an album needs to maintain a uniform style, and a hodgepodge is quite taboo.
But Song Yu's first album style was very messy, and it didn't matter if he released another one.
And the most important thing is that these ten songs are put together, and the hodgepodge is no longer relevant.
He can now say arrogantly: I, Song Yu, give me money.
Even if he retires on the spot, he will inevitably leave his name in the history of Chinese pop music in this world, and it is the first kind.
To be honest, there is no need for Song Yu to do this.
Half of the ten songs is enough to defeat Zhou Ting.
But as he said before, he has too many good songs in his hands, and he can still release an album like this for more than ten years.
Even if it is not as good as "Qili Xiang", "Blue and White Porcelain" and "In the Name of the Father", a little lower grade is enough to be a classic among the classics.
After Song Yu determines his position in the Chinese music scene, he will be able to expand to foreign music scenes, such as Aramco, European League, Goryeo, etc.
After that, you can follow Yan Shao and others to enter classical music.
That alone was enough to consume years of his life.
Not to mention, in the film and television industry, after the filming of these works, it is estimated that he will step into the grave with one foot.
Of course, he didn't want to be so tired.
Probably get a little bit of it, retire before the age of forty, and then go and have a good time.
Song Yu can also be regarded as worthy of his identity as a traverser, and has carried forward various cultures in his previous life.
Recording songs is not difficult for him now.
However, with the MV recording, a month's time is also more urgent.
For the first album, the MV was relatively simple and poor for various reasons, but this time he was fully funded.
Not only are the graphics and special effects exquisite, but the scenes are also built by themselves to strive for perfection.
Especially "In the Name of the Father" and "The Seventh Chapter of the Night".
For this reason, he asked Liu Ruoshu to suspend the filming of "The Legend of the Ancient Sword" and come over as the MV director.
She was initially reluctant, but after listening to ten songs, she immediately changed her mind and agreed.
In her words, being able to shoot the MV for this album is definitely a glorious stroke on her resume.
And Song Yan, Wang Ru and Yanhu, the three people who first heard the song, not to mention, were like crazy, and they took out 1,000% of their enthusiasm to fully assist in the creation of the album.
The rest of the artists or projects of Xingdong Entertainment are all a little later.
In terms of publicity, tens of millions have also been invested, which is almost on par with Zhou Ting.
Even many people in the industry think that Xingdong Entertainment is crazy?
Think that if the publicity is good, you can beat Zhou Ting?
It's just a waste of money.
But alas, only a few people know the truth.
February 25.
Song Yu and Zhao Yan had breakfast and went to Jianghai Film and Television City to shoot the MV.
Today's filming is "Qili Xiang".
Zhao Yan couldn't be better as the heroine of the MV.
The director is still Liu Ruoshu.
However, after Song Yu arrived at the designated location, he saw an unexpected person.
Penguin Video's boss Mu Ju.
"Brother Song."
As soon as Mu Ju saw Song Yu, he showed a warm smile, and even the title became extremely cordial.
There is almost no need to guess, most of it is begging.
"Mr. Mu, if you have something, you can say it directly, don't make such trouble."
"It's about The Voice."
Mu Ju was not polite and said, "I want to ask you to be a music instructor." ”
Song Yu was not surprised when he heard this.
Although he has only debuted for a year, with his current fame, he is more than enough to serve as a mentor, and he can pull the number of broadcasts.
Mr. Mu didn't invite him, but there was a problem.
But he didn't want to be a music instructor, it was too troublesome and a waste of time.
Whether it's his new album or filming, he can't be busy.
And "The Voice" actually didn't help him much.
Now fans who like to listen to songs know his name more or less.
Besides, when the new album comes out, what else is there to say?
"I don't have time."
Song Yu saw Mu Ju's disappointed expression, and then thought that the more popular "The Voice" was, the more money he shared, so he asked, "Why don't you invite Zhou Ting?" ”
"Naturally, I had an invitation, but it has been denied."
Mu Ju explained, "Zhou Ting is an artist under New World Entertainment, and New World Video is our competitor, so he will not agree. ”
"That's right."
Song Yu really didn't think about this stubble before.
Although with Zhou Ting's status, he has great autonomy, but it is impossible to agree without a little price.
He touched his chin, do you want to exchange it for a song?
Is it worth it?
Song Yu finally chose to give up.
It's better to write a theme song for "The Voice".
Just took advantage of the popularity of his new album to rub a wave.
He also had an idea for the theme song, so he wrote "Sing If You Want to Sing", which is very suitable for the music talent show variety show.
This song was the theme song of "Super Girl" in the previous life, and it was once popular.
The original song is Zhang Hanyun, full of girlishness, let the Star Dream Era sing, and it will not violate the harmony.
"With the energy of penguins, it's not a big problem to invite the four kings and queens, right?" Song Yu asked.
"This is no problem, but Zhou Ting and you are the two singers who are currently in the limelight, and the rest are a little worse."
"It's okay, I'll give you a theme song."
"Theme song?" Mu Ju's eyes lit up and said, "This can be had." ”
Although it is a pity that Song Yu himself is not present, the song can have the same effect.
"I'll record it and send it to you in a few days, and when the price comes, Yanhu will connect with you."
"Okay." Mu Ju breathed a sigh of relief, and coming over today can be regarded as achieving his goal.
"Anything else?" Song Yu asked again.
"Oh yes, "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" will be broadcast tomorrow."
"I'll publicize it then."
Song Yu really didn't know that he hadn't been to the company for a while, and he didn't really pay much attention to it.
The timing was well chosen, though.
In the current field of TV dramas, only one TV series of Daxia Satellite TV is out of the circle, and the rest are tepid.
And "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" is an online drama, and the two will not form direct competition.
In terms of the music industry, the chaos at the beginning of the month came to an end, and "Damn Tender" and "I Am Not Huang Rong" became the final winners.
After the out-of-gas song, Nanru suffered Waterloo, and it is unlikely that she wants to recover her fame like Bai Xiang.
By now, the ranking on the weekly list has changed a lot.
"Damn Tender" and "I'm Not Huang Rong" are still going strong, but they are about to fall out of the top ten.
This week's songs are recognized as average.
Because it was about to be Zhou Ting and Song Yu's immortal fight, any singer who was a little ambitious would not sing at this moment, so as not to hit his head and bleed.
A rare gap period.
After the broadcast of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian", the theme song "The Amazing Side" should be able to achieve good results.
After Mu Ju left, Song Yu began to shoot the MV of "Qili Xiang".
The original MV is fairly simple, with two people plus one main big scene.
There's no dancing, and there's no plot.
The more I talk about it, the more it feels like a little movie.
Ahem.
Song Yu didn't plan to add action, so he shot it more easily.
From the perspective of Liu Ruoshu's female director, it is like a beautiful photo album of couples.
Zhao Yan is quite satisfied.
In her mind, "Qili Xiang" is a special song.
It is a testimony of her and Song Yu's love.
With this MV, sprinkle dog food properly.
The next day.
"The Rumored Chen Qianqian", which has been promoted, is finally online on Penguin Video.
This TV series actually didn't attract much attention from Mu Ju.
Although I feel that the quality is okay after watching the film, in these years, quality and reputation really can't determine sales.
There are too many things that are applauded or not.
On the contrary, idol dramas with large numbers of actors can become popular.
And Mu Ju noticed the attitude of Xingdong Entertainment, and it didn't seem to be a thing.
For various reasons, the rating of this drama on Penguin Video is B, which is lower than S-level and A-level, and is in the third gear.
For its requirements, Mu Ju has only one, as long as he doesn't lose money.
