Chapter 77

Facing Zheng Donghan's praise, Yin Jun smiled and did not answer.

What Zheng Donghan said is actually quite good.

"The Wind Continues to Blow" is Zhang Guorong's famous song, and the lyrics and music are just in line with his vocal conditions.

In 1983, his manager asked Zheng Guojiang to fill in the lyrics of an RB song for him, and then released the album "The Wind Continues to Blow" with the name of this song. Once it was released, it was very popular and finally broke. Zhang Guorong's 4-year downturn is on the right track.

Then it was the classic "Monica" in "Leslie" in 1984, which made Zhang Guorong become a big hit, and thus embarked on the road of a superstar.

Of course, whether it is Zhang Guorong, Tan Yonglin, Zhang Xueyou or Li Keqin, or the female singers Mei Yanfang, Chen Huixian, etc., the songs they sing, the songs that have spread to China, are actually mostly RB songs. But it was written by a lyricist from Xiangjiang.

Therefore, many lyric writers in Xiangjiang are called "lyric writers", that is, they fill in the lyrics according to the song scores of other RB people. Compared with the old artists in mainland China, the grade is much lower.

Old artists often spend a year and a half collecting songs for the creation of a lyric song, and finally come up with a good lyric song that we will not get tired of singing for decades. This attitude towards art is worth every Personal respect.

It’s just that after the 21st century, people have become behind closed doors, without rich social experience, without rich emotions from the heart, and without looking for integrated music materials. Can the lyrics and tunes created in this way still have how good?

This is also the most important reason why after the 21st century, good songs become less and less.

Back to the Hong Kong music scene.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the proportion of RB's music in Xiangjiang's music was at least 50%, and in the most famous pop songs, it was as high as 70%.

Miyuki Nakajima, a famous female singer of RB and a famous lyricist and composer, is very prolific, and the quality of the songs she produces is very good. Therefore, not only does Xiangjiang's work with her songs, but Baodao's is the same, so she is also known as "The savior of the Chinese music scene".

In Yin Jun's view, this is really a kind of sadness.

Although it's not that Nakajima Miyuki's songs can't be wanted, but my own things can't stop improving. It's okay to use her songs as a supplement. If we rely on her songs to produce Chinese classic songs, then our music world has already Has it fallen into someone else's domain?

In this life, Yin Jun not only wants to write the songs of foreigners in advance, but also cultivate more musically literate people, so that more Yin Qing, Master Yan, Teacher Gu, Lin Xi, Fang Wenshan, Li Zongsheng , Zhou Dong and others appeared, so as to enrich their Chinese music scene and let the beautiful Chinese singing continue to be sung.

Come back to your eyes.

Zheng Donghan can be said to be the No. 1 guitarist in Hong Kong. He is very sensitive to the sense of music, otherwise he would not have brought Polymetal to the No. 1 position in Asia in the future.

He can hear the wonderful power contained in "The Wind Continues to Blow". This song may not be as good as "The Dream of New Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies", but it can also be regarded as a classic, which can be sung in the Cantonese area. song.

From this, Zheng Donghan is naturally full of expectations for Yin Jun's second song to his idol Lijun Teng.

"The second song is called "Small Town Story."

Yin Jun took a break before continuing to sing the second song.

"There are many stories in the small town, full of joy and joy. If you come to the small town, you will gain a lot. It looks like a painting, but it sounds like a song. The realm of life is true, good, and beautiful. This includes..."

This time, Zheng Donghan frowned slightly.

Even if Yin Jun sang twice in a row, he silently hummed it twice, but he couldn't find the shining point of this song.

To be precise, Zheng Donghan feels that this song is more like a minor tune, suitable for humming and singing while walking in the fields and woods at will, but not suitable for becoming an officially sold album song.

It can even be said that this song seems to be a bit out of standard compared to the previous ones.

But thinking of what Yin Jun had said before, Zheng Donghan didn't think that Yin Jun deliberately came up with the works he created.

Yin Jun even brought out a super classic, a classic song to Zhang Guorong, an unfamiliar person. There is no reason to be so stingy with his idol Lijun Teng.

"A-Jun, your song..." Zheng Donghan hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I don't understand it. If it's good, it must be good, but I think it lacks an aura that can be prosperous, and it's not a minor key. The hall of elegance."

"Brother Han, your ability to appreciate is really good." Unexpectedly, Yin Jun nodded with a smile, "If you sing this song alone, everyone will think it is normal at first. But if you can listen to it for a long time Go on, it's a good song that carries the memory of the times....In this way, we don't count it, you can show it to Miss Deng, if she likes it, then do it. If she doesn't like it, I'll say goodbye give her the song, okay?"

"so be it!"

Zheng Donghan is also a decisive person. Since Yin Jun has said so, if he still pushes three and four, it will be too awkward and will offend Yin Jun.

What's more, Yin Jun is right, whether this song is good or not, he said it doesn't matter, he has to give it to Deng Lijun to know.

Looking at Zheng Donghan's hesitant expression, Yin Jun smiled without saying a word.

Of course, he wouldn't tell Zheng Donghan that at the beginning of next year, Mr. Li Xin, the great director of Baodao, will start shooting the movie "Small Town Story", and the manuscript may be already being written.

At that time, in order to find the theme song that fits the movie, he spent a lot of thought and found the two most famous songwriters in Baodao, and then made this "Small Town Story".

In the beginning, other people sang it with no taste, it was light and tasteless, but when Deng Lijun sang it, her sweet voice turned "Small Town Story" into a poem and a painting. One of the golden songs.

Deng Lijun actually likes this kind of minor tune very much. She sings relaxed and comfortable, but can express rich emotions, which is very in line with her singing thoughts.

Others may not see the charm of "Small Town Story", but Deng Lijun certainly can.

In this regard, Yin Jun has a strong self-confidence!

...

After the song is over, all that's left is to negotiate the price.

Yin Jun knew before that Zheng Donghan had an air of atmosphere in his life, and the same was true when discussing prices.

He gave "The Wind Continues to Blow" 20,000, and the lyrics and music were packaged together. He was a little unsure about "Small Town Story", so he gave it according to 10,000. If Deng Lijun likes it, he will add another 10,000. If he doesn't like it , there are only 10,000, and the songs are not necessarily used by Deng Lijun, or will be replaced by another treasure island singer.

Now the most famous lyricists in Xiangjiang, such as Huang Zhan, Zheng Guojiang, Li Xiaotian, etc., are generally priced at 1000-3000. If they do it well, if they are particularly popular, they can also get 5000-10000 red envelopes.

The same goes for Gu Jiahui, the composer, and the others.

Therefore, the 20,000 of "The Wind Continues to Blow" is equivalent to 10,000 for the lyrics and music, which is the top.

This shows that Zheng Donghan looks down on Yin Jun very much and regards him as beings like Huang Zhan and Gu Jiahui.

Of course, it cannot be said that Yin Jun is more powerful than Xiangjiang's songwriters, but Yin Jun is so young, and his creative peak is far from coming. Zheng Donghan also has a good relationship with Yin Jun first, so that he can cooperate better in the future.

Yin Jun didn't bargain either.

For him, writing songs is simply the least rewarding thing.

Compared with those in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, songwriters in China are far worse in terms of status and income.

For example, on the Xiangjiang Treasure Island, the best price is what Yin Jun can get now, and then everything has nothing to do with Yin Jun.

That's not bad.

On the mainland side, if you create a song, you can sing it without paying the copyright fee, and it doesn’t matter if you go anywhere to make money, especially the TV station, which broadcasts it over and over again. .

Europe and the United States are different from Japan and South Korea. When a song is created, whether it is a lyricist or a songwriter, he can get his own benefits from the entire income, including album records, peripheral products, on-demand, authorized adaptation and singing, Selection of film and television... Wait, some songwriters have written a classic song that is popular in the world, so you don't have to worry about life in your life.

This is also an important reason why songwriters in these countries are actively creating, because people can get more benefits! You can earn more money to repay your hard work!

Simply put, why did RB songs occupy half of the Hong Kong moss music scene in the 1980s and 1990s?

Isn't it just because people work hard to create better songs than you, and then you can only choose these good songs?

How did the good tune come about?

Isn't it just because people have a positive drive that they created it!

To put it bluntly, this is copyright protection and intellectual property protection.

Both Hong Kong Moss and the mainland lack such a mechanism. It can even be said that cultural shirts do not pay attention to this point. This is the most important reason why ancient Chinese inventions are less and less, and finally there are no more.

If patent law and intellectual property protection can be established in China from the very beginning, our country may have rushed out of the earth in ancient times, and the goal is to point to the sea of ​​stars!

Yin Jun has returned to the current Xiangjiang. He also has this idea to promote and implement the concept of intellectual property and invention. However, this is the same as Yin Jun's other goals. After he has established a unique position in Xiangjiang, he can slowly push.

Even at that time, the process must be very difficult, but Yin Jun has to do it.

Otherwise, in the next few decades, we will continue to lag behind countries such as Europe, America, Japan and South Korea.

Only by respecting inventions and creations and the fruits of other people's labor can the wisdom and wisdom of the Chinese people shine brightly.
