Chapter 21: Fireworks are easy to get cold

In the recording studio, Dong Chou took Chen Mo back to his recording studio and introduced Chen Mo to his band teachers.

When Jay Chou was chatting before, he had told the band teachers that he had recently had a super talented student and had created a new music genre.

Dong Chou brought Chen Mo over, and Chen Mo greeted these band teachers respectively, and they were all very friendly, and they were also full of curiosity about Chen Mo.

Coming here, Chen Mo's mobile phone has been turned off, otherwise he should have received several calls, all of which were from the companies that had signed a contract with him before, including NetEase Music Company, and now the big thing is to record songs, nothing else matters, Chen Mo and folk songs are still being hacked on the Internet, he must give a positive counterattack.

Hit someone in the face!

Chen Mo said his thoughts, his folk songs don't need much accompaniment, bass, drummer, keyboard, guitar come by themselves, and then there is no more.

The song "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" mainly includes violin, piano, pipa, bass, guitar, drum kit, and other musical instruments. After handing over the score to the band teachers to familiarize themselves with, Chen Mo and Dong Chou explained the background of the creation of "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold", that is, the story behind it.

This song originates from a fictional story, and the background of the story is Luoyang City, a thousand-year-old ancient capital that collapsed after the collapse of the ancient capital described in "Luoyang Jialanji" written by Yang Xuanzhi during the Northern Wei Dynasty of the earth.

A royal general in Luoyang City met a woman by fate, the two fell in love at first sight and made a private life, at this time the general was requisitioned by the imperial court to the border to fight, in the years of war and chaos, the imperial capital Luoyang has been reduced to ruins, dilapidated, and finally the woman guarded the general after not meeting, lost her hair as a nun, and waited for the general to return from the wind and frost to find the woman to the ancient temple of the woman, but she has already passed away.

The general was told that there was a woman waiting for him all the time.

The song "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" is based on this fictional story. The style of music is more Chinese and ancient. (In order to cater to the setting of the novel, it is classified as a ballad, please forgive me, spray lightly.) )

After listening to the story, Dong Chou became familiar with the lyrics and music for a while and began his simple recording.

He has a very tacit understanding with the band, and he is very skilled in regulation and control, Chen Mo watched quietly on the side, noting down every step made by the mentor, he is a newcomer and needs to learn, although he has learned these in his previous life on the earth, but he has not really recorded songs, and he does not know how to score accompaniment and harmony, so he will pay attention to the rhythm of the contract.

The lyrics are sung with Jay Chou's unique singing style.

The sound of prosperity escaped into the empty door and tormented the world

The dream is cold, and there are a few love debts in a lifetime

Such as you default to life and death, etc

Waiting for the rings of the year

The Futu Pagoda broke several layers and broke someone's soul

The pain went straight to the mountain gate where a broken lamp collapsed

Let me wait for history to turn around

Waiting for the wine to be mellow and waiting for you to play a guzheng

Jay Chou deserves to be Jay Chou, and once he sings, he can completely bring his emotions into the song, sing the song in his own style, and tell the story in the lyrics.

The rain is deep, and the grass and trees in the old hometown are deep

I've heard that you're always alone

The mottled gates are entrenched in the roots of old trees

The stone slab reverberated and waited

If you have crossed paths with a past life

Follow the red dust and follow me all my life

The rain is deep, and the grass and trees in the old hometown are deep

I've heard that you're always alone

The mottled gates are entrenched in the roots of old trees

The stone slab reverberated and waited

The rain is deep, and the grass and trees in the old hometown are deep

Chou Dong's singing is very good, he can sing this song very easily just by looking at the song score, and he has a very personal style, he is originally a talented singer, the founder of the Chinese style genre, what to sing, and now this ballad is very folk style!

I have heard that you are still guarding the lonely city

The sound of the shepherd's flute on the outskirts of the city fell on that wild village

Fate is rooted in us

The rain is deep, and the grass and trees in the old hometown are deep

I've heard that you're always alone

The mottled gates are entrenched in the roots of old trees

The stone slab reverberated and waited

The rain is raining one after another, and the grass and trees in the old hometown are deep

I've heard you've heard you're still guarding the lonely city

The sound of the shepherd's flute on the outskirts of the city fell on that wild village

Fate is rooted in us

Fate is rooted in us

Garan Temple listens to the sound of rain and looks forward to eternity

The song ended, the recording was completed, but he was not satisfied, he sang the song for the first time, although he could sing it by looking at the score, but it did not meet his requirements, he felt that he could do better.

For the third time, he recorded this song perfectly, a very classic song, very folk style.

The following is Chen Mo. The song "Prose Poems for My Father" requires more emotion, Chen Mo in his previous life has listened to Xu Fei's original version, and listened to Li Jian's adapted version, so it can be said that there are many emotional templates that can be used for reference, so practicing a few more times can also be perfectly controlled.

After that, Chen Mo thought that since he planned to cooperate with NetEase, he would record a version of "Miss Dong" from the previous campus competition.

Because "Anhe Bridge" was given to Song Yang, it was not recorded. "Writing to Huang Huai" was not broadcast because of the good voice, and a confidentiality agreement was signed before, so it is not easy to record it, so let's record it after the voice is broadcast.

Chen Mo is very familiar with the song, he comes when he opens his mouth, as long as the harmony and accompaniment keep up, it is basically completed at one time, but under the persuasion of Dong Chou, he came a few more times, and adopted the best one.

Although it seems to be fast, four or five hours have passed, and they are all striving to achieve the requirements that they are satisfied with. Then the next question is cooperation.

Dong Chou said without further ado, immediately called the people over there on NetEase, saying that there was a single released on this Valentine's Day, and the people over there were immediately excited, the veteran singer has not released a new song for many years, what kind of surprise will it bring this time, everyone is looking forward to it.

Dong Chou took Chen Mo directly to Netease Music Company, Liu Sisi came out to greet him, and it was natural to see Dong Chou, but when she saw Chen Mo, she was a little stunned, of course she knew that Chen Mo entered Dong Chou's team in the blind audition of "The Voice", but she didn't think of what it meant to release a new song and bring a student over, but she was still very happy to see Chen Mo, because Chen Mo's phone call was always turned off today.

"Xiaomei, Yang Ying called to my office!" Liu Sisi whispered to the assistant beside him.

"Yang Ying? Who is Yang Ying? Assistant Xiaomei asked suspiciously.

Yang Ying is just a small music editor of Netease Music, and it is normal for Xiaomei, who is the assistant to the general manager, not to know, after all, the status of the two is very different, and they are also positions that have no intersection, so naturally they will not know a small music editor.

"This is the phone number, call someone to my office immediately, now!" Liu Sisi gave her Yang Ying's mobile phone number, and the reason why she left this little editor's mobile phone number was to use Yang Ying to win over Chen Mo.

Assistant Xiaomei wrote down her mobile phone number and immediately turned to leave.

"Dong Chou, you have to know that Nix hasn't released a work for a long time, do you know how anxious I am, do you know how anxious your fans are?" Liu Sisi said with a smile. After speaking, he shook hands with Dong Chou.

It seems that the relationship between Dong Zhou and Manager Liu should be good. Chen Mo thought silently beside him.

"Haha, didn't I come with a work, there is a saying, don't you know if it's too late to say good things, hahaha." Dong Chou replied with a smile.

Liu Sisi gave Dong Zhou a big roll of his eyes, looked at Chen Mo on the side, and said to Dong Zhou, "Why don't you plan to introduce me to your classmate Chen Mo." Liu Sisi had known Chen Mo for a long time, and he had called before, but he just wanted to tease Dong Chou.

"Haha, you all know that his name is Chen Mo, do you still need my introduction?" Dong Zhou said that he was very pleased that Liu Sisi was able to stand up and help Chen Mo speak at the campus competition.

"Let's go, Xiao Chen Mo, let's go in together!" As he spoke, Liu Sisi took Chen Mo's hand and walked towards the office with Dong Chou.

The employees in the office all knew Dong Chou, and they were not surprised to see Manager Liu and Dong Chou making such jokes, but they were surprised to see Manager Liu holding a little boy's hand and walking inside.

The general manager's office of NetEase Music. The office style is simple, sofa, a desk, three chairs, a tea table, on which is a pair of Yuan blue and white tea sets, the teapot is still emitting wisps of smoke, and there are several potted plants on the windowsill, with cyan plants.

The whole office looks very atmospheric and very simple, this is an ordinary women's office, Chen Mo and Zhou Dong are sitting on the sofa, Manager Liu has asked the assistant to go out, she personally poured tea for the two, the assistant wanted to help, she didn't let him, he felt that he would pay more attention to it.

"Dong Chou, let's not say kind words, I already know the purpose of your coming today, I will do a good job of publicity for you, I believe that with your strength and status, your songs will definitely be fine, and they will definitely be on the list, but I don't know what style your songs are this time?" While pouring tea for the two, he said to Dong Chou.

Chou Dong is a well-known musical talent, and his music has always been liked by a large number of loyal fans. It's just that I don't know what style Dong Zhou, who hasn't released a new song for so long, will release a new song again, which is what she is curious about and concerned about.

"Haha, I'm not in a hurry about my song in advance, let's talk about Chen Mo first!" Dong Zhou pointed at Chen Mo and said with a smile.

"Chen Mo, tell Manager Liu what you think, try to be clear, your requirements, what you can provide to this platform." Zhou Dong said.

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Yang Ying slowly opened the door and walked into the general manager's office.

"Sit down, Chen Mo's matter is related to you, you sit down and listen to it together." Liu Sisi said to Yang Ying and motioned for her to sit next to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo took a deep breath, glanced at Yang Ying, then looked at Liu Sisi, stood up, and said respectfully: "I want to be an independent musician, I want to cooperate with your company, my songs will be broadcast exclusively on your NetEase Music Player, I know that I am not a big star, and I can't bring you traffic, but I am willing to give you more shares."

I know that NetEase has a membership system here, and I can allow one of my songs to be a free membership, but the others have to be sold according to the single, and your side is two dollars for a single, I want to bet with you, if my downloads exceed 200,000, we will be three or seven points, I will seven of you, if the number of downloads does not exceed 200,000, I will not take a penny, and all the benefits will belong to you NetEase, what do you think? Chen Mo said sincerely.

"Two hundred thousand?" Liu Sisi looked at him with some puzzlement, this is the number of downloads at the level of a king, and the player of Netease Music is not the one with the largest number of installations, and those who can reach 200,000 downloads are at the level of a king, of course, a king-level singer like Dong Chou, it is not difficult to break through the 200,000 downloads, as long as the previous level is maintained, it can be easily achieved, after all, this is an era with a developed economy and full wallets, they don't care about that money, what they need is spiritual food.

"That's right, two hundred thousand, I have confidence in my songs!" Chen Mo said, very firm and full of confidence.

Liu Sisi looked at this kid, he still looked shy just now, quite cute, but now he is so determined, with the upright side of a man, such a man is the most attractive.

"Xiaoying told me before that you want to be an independent musician, I don't believe it yet, and I think it may be that you don't understand the current market, but now it seems that you are very determined!" Liu Sisi said,

Then he looked at Dong Chou and continued: "Presumably there is a mentor like Dong Chou by your side, he has already told you everything about independent musicians, so I won't say more, since you want to be an independent musician and want to cooperate with our NetEase Music, I welcome it, but given that you are a newcomer without any fame, and your reputation on the Internet is very stinky, I can give you a chance, but we will not do any preliminary publicity for you, unless your work can be driven by itself." ”

When Chen Mo heard this, he knew that the reputation on the Internet had seriously affected him, and NetEase Music Player was also a company that relied on the support of netizens, netizens were all connected, and netizens knew that Chen Mo's reputation was very bad, and it was estimated that they would not listen to his songs.

"I think you can also understand what is going on the Internet, I will speak for Chen Mo on my Weibo, and at the same time I hope NetEase can give him a little chance, even if it is an inconspicuous recommendation, I have no way to bring him here, because he just wants to be an independent musician, and now it is a little difficult to have his reputation, and I think that after the good voice is broadcast, there will definitely be companies to come out to rob him, but I also know that he will pay a greater price to get the company's whitewashing." Chou Dong said.

Chen Mo has a bad reputation now, if he is really signed by an entertainment company, he must first whitewash before he can officially debut, otherwise his debut will be death, and as a condition for whitewashing, Chen Mo must exchange his own conditions, this world is like this. Liu Sisi didn't respond immediately, but was thinking, Dong Chou is an old acquaintance, and he is also very authoritative in the entertainment industry, as long as he comes forward, someone will more or less come out to help. But is that really enough?

"Manager, I want to say a few words!" Yang Ying couldn't help but whisper.

"You say!" Liu Sisi said casually.

"Chen Mo's talent, I think you have also seen it, his songs can evoke people's memories, poke the tears in my heart, I hope you can give him a chance, our NetEase player has a similar song in a song page, I think since Chou Dong is here to release a new song, I think this position in Chou Dong's new song page can give Chen Mo a recommendation, this is a very inconspicuous recommendation, only when you enter Chou's new song page will you see it, I hope you can give this opportunity!" Yang Ying said with some uneasiness.

She's just a little editor, and her speech is still a little shaky.

Liu Sisi didn't speak, but looked at the little editor who didn't dare to look directly at him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, turned his head to look at Dong Zhou, and said, "What do you think?" "I think it's a good idea, because my new song is a folk song written and composed by Chen Mo, and I want to try a new genre, and I'm very interested in folk songs now, and our songs are also of similar genres!" This can be said to be a recommendation that is not recommended, generally not the system selects some similar songs to automatically enter, you just let this little girl operate once, Chen Mo only has two songs. Dong Zhou said.

"What about you? Xiao Chen Mo. Liu Sisi looked at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo is very clear about his current situation, but this recommendation that is not a recommendation is really not good, but there is no way, and said: "You can give it a try, I still have the conditions just now, but I heard the teacher say that your NetEase is the fairest of all music players, if my song has signs of becoming popular, I wonder if it will get a better recommendation because of this?" ”

"I can give you a positive answer to this right now, if you have signs of becoming popular, I will recommend your song on the homepage, this is a must, we will not let go of any genius, you are also a genius, but your current reputation is a little stinky, I can tell you this, as long as you give up independent musicians and sign with our NetEase, I can help you clear your name, and then the conditions I said before are still valid, how about it?" Liu Sisi said.

"I'm an indie musician." Chen Mo said very firmly.

"Okay, Yang Ying, Chen Mo will be handed over to you in the future, if his downloads reach three thousand, I will give you a salary increase immediately!" Liu Sisi promised, looking at Yang Ying meaningfully.
