Chapter 253 0253, the Show Is About to Begin!

Yunfeng came back from his morning exercise. As soon as he opened the door and entered the dormitory, Xiao Tianpeng stood up from the bed and said, "I was about to call you."

Seeing his nervous expression, Yunfeng asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Tianpeng immediately said: "Yesterday when we were playing at the Binjiang Shoreline Scenic Area, we were secretly photographed by the paparazzi."

Yunfeng smiled and said: "You and Meng Wei are big stars now, isn't it normal for paparazzi to take secret photos?"

Xiao Tianpeng smiled bitterly and said, "This joke is not funny at all. What kind of big stars are we?"

After saying that, he came to his senses and said, "Don't interrupt. What I mean is that the song "Qili Xiang" you sang yesterday was filmed and posted online."

Yunfeng said nonchalantly: "Just let it go."

Xiao Tianpeng said hurriedly: "Brother, "Qili Xiang" is a song you haven't released yet. If it spreads online like this, it will affect sales."

Yunfeng thought for a moment and said, "The impact shouldn't be big."

Xiao Tianpeng said anxiously: "Whether it's big or not, it has an impact. You should make a statement quickly and have those videos taken off the shelves. Otherwise, we will issue a lawyer's letter."

Yunfeng felt that the situation was similar to the last time he confessed his love to Tang Yu with the song "I Like You" at a Vienna restaurant in Pengcheng and was filmed and posted on Station B. There was no need to make a fuss about it, so he said: "Just treat it as a warm-up in advance. Well, I’ll record the song at noon.”

If I was filming secretly, it was at the beach, with the sound of waves and sea breeze, so the radio was definitely not that good. In addition, yesterday it was just guitar accompaniment + a cappella singing. The quality of the song was greatly compromised, and the impact on sales was almost negligible. Excluding.

Xiao Tianpeng likes the song "Qili Xiang" very much and believes that it will definitely be a big seller. That's why he was so anxious when he saw this candid video when browsing Bilibili and microcircles. Now that he calms down and thinks about it, he does have some reaction. Too much.

Yunfeng knew that he was reminding him with good intentions, so he smiled at him and said, "Thank you."

"Why are you so polite?" Xiao Tianpeng yawned, waved his hand towards him, and said, "It's only half past eight, I'm going to sleep." After that, he fell asleep.

Yunfeng took a shower first, and then sent a WeChat message to Chen Cheng.

"Ding dong..."

Almost instantly.

It’s the May Day holiday, so early?

Yunfeng played a voice chat on WeChat. After the call was connected, he asked curiously: "Brother Chen, don't you work overtime in the company?"

Chen Cheng replied: "Hey, in our industry, there is no such thing as a holiday. On the contrary, there are more things during the holidays."

Yunfeng thought about it. There were more holiday announcements than usual. Knowing that Chen Cheng was busy, he stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the point: "Brother Chen, I want to come over and record a song today."

When Chen Cheng saw Yunfeng saying that he wanted to record a song, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Is it the one you sang at the beach yesterday?"

Yunfeng shook his head and smiled. In the Internet age, information spreads very quickly. He replied: "Brother Chen, have you also watched that video on the Internet?"

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Well, although the sound quality is a bit poor, I listened to it several times in a row. It can be said that this song is the best love song I have ever heard. The lyrics and music are top-notch."

Yunfeng raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen, for the compliment."

Chen Cheng sighed and continued to talk about business: "However, Zhanlan Music Group has signed many singers recently. Except for He Qian and Luo Mu, who released songs during this year's new song popularity chart, the others all released songs during this year's new song popularity chart. I’ll release the song after it’s over, so during the May Day holiday, the recording studio is fully booked.”

When Yunfeng saw this, he replied: "Then I'll record it later."

Chen Cheng found the recording studio schedule on his computer and said, "Wait a minute. I'll see if I can spare two hours for you."

Yunfeng thought for a moment and said, "No need, Brother Chen. I'm not in a hurry. Besides, the arrangement hasn't been finished yet."

Recording songs can be unpredictable, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Chen Cheng scanned the recording studio's schedule and saw that he really couldn't squeeze out time, so he could only say: "Okay, I'll get busy first. "

Yunfeng hung up the WeChat voice chat, thinking that the recording studio was full during the entire May Day holiday. It seemed that Zhanlan Music Group was doing good business recently.

At this time, a bad premonition arose in his heart, but he didn't take it to heart. Sometimes, letting nature take its course is also a good choice.

immediately.

Yunfeng took the tablet and opened the arranging software.

The song "Qilixiang" uses a very common "uncommon" chord pattern to compose the song Am-F-G-C (6451), which means it starts with Am, a minor chord.

The 6451 chord pattern is almost overused in pop music and can be found in many places.

However……

Almost the entire song "Qili Xiang" is composed of 6451 loops, so it didn't take much time to figure out the simplified score.

But the problem is that the only impression I have of the arrangement in my memory is that there are strings and the words "Deng Deng, Deng Deng, etc. Deng Deng" in the prelude.

"Arrangement is a big problem."

The success of the song "Qili Xiang" is due to the arrangement.

Yunfeng tinkered with the arranging software all morning, but made little progress.

"There is still a lot to learn!"

In the end, the only option was to send a WeChat message to Tang Yu for help.

In fact, when it comes to composing, Yunfeng has a certain ability, and his level has reached amateur level.

but……

Arranging is different from composing, and there are many more things to consider.

Of course, if it was just an arrangement of guitar + piano + drums, he could have done it.

However, the arrangement of the song "Seven Miles of Fragrance" is not simple, and many instruments are used.

In the original arrangement, the prelude used a vibraphone, and in the middle there were keyboards (synthesizers), bass, guitars, basic drums, etc., and finally the rhythm of the wooden electric box piano sweep, the main melody coordinated by the keyboard, and the ending with a computer mix plus keyboard simulation of the bell and tripod instrument percussion effect as the ending sound.

With his current arrangement level, he couldn't do it even if he was given a year.

Afternoon.

Magic City Conservatory of Music, Piano Building, Piano Room 1250.

"What style of arrangement do you want for the song "Seven Miles of Fragrance"?" Tang Yu was very happy that Yunfeng asked her for help.

Besides, she was originally from the composition department, and she was also the apprentice of Wu Zhongyu, the domestic arrangement master, so who else could she ask for.

"Fresh and poetic, lyrical rock style with oriental flavor, what do you think?" Yunfeng said his idea, and he worked out these in the morning.

He really wanted to restore the arrangement of the original song of "Seven Miles of Fragrance", but in his previous life he only knew how to listen to songs and knew nothing about music, otherwise he would remember more things.

Tang Yu pondered and said: "If it is not a pure Chinese style, the prelude can be a combination of yangqin (main) + guitar (auxiliary) + wind chimes (auxiliary), and a synthesizer can be used to make a sound similar to the wind, creating a feeling of summer coolness..."

Yunfeng listened with relish and nodded in praise.

Professional work should be done by professionals.

About half an hour later, the various instruments used to accompany the song "Seven Miles of Fragrance" were determined.

Next, the two worked together to write the prelude, interlude, and outro according to the personality of the main melody.

Tang Yu played a few bars on the piano, then looked up and asked, "Do you want the main melody to reappear, or the main melody to vary, or a completely new passage?"

Yun Feng took a tablet and simulated a few clips in the arrangement software before answering, "I think it's all right, as long as it is combined with the main melody to achieve a good transition from beginning to end."

In terms of arrangement, he still cooperated with Tang Yu.

During.

Because of the existence of "special skills [such as cutting, polishing, polishing, and polishing · occupation], when exchanging academic, experience, and skills with peers, the ability to learn, understand, experience, and comprehend is doubled", he benefited a lot and his ability to arrange music has improved.

The sun gradually fell from the horizon, and the clouds seemed to be ignited, rendering the entire sky red as fire.

An afternoon passed like this.

Although it is only early summer, the temperature in the Magic City is not low today. Fortunately, because the piano room has the requirements of both sound insulation and ventilation, air conditioning and exhaust fans are installed, otherwise it would be very difficult.

"The parts and sentence patterns of this auxiliary instrument are still not interesting. I'll think about how to adjust them." Tang Yu picked up the tablet and simulated it on the arrangement software again.

Auxiliary instruments such as wind chimes, chimes, synthesizer special effects, etc. usually do not occupy a large amount of space in the music, and sometimes only a few notes are needed, but they are also very important, playing the role of color embellishment and finishing touch.

"How about taking a break first?" Yun Feng looked at the time. He had been busy since lunch.

The arrangement of the song "Seven Miles of Fragrance" is almost done in general, and there are only some details left to be polished.

Tang Yu kept her eyes on the tablet screen, shook her head slightly, and said: "I already have a clue, let's modify it first."

She was worried that if she took a break, the feeling she just found would be broken.

Yun Feng stopped talking.

A few minutes later.

Tang Yu's slightly frowned brows suddenly relaxed, the corners of her eyes curved downward, and she said: "Okay!"

As the voice fell, the notes jumped.

After listening to it, Yunfeng couldn't help but praise: "It's very exquisite, giving people a clear sense of spaciousness and a cool feeling of being blown by the wind."

Tang Yu smiled and asked: "Is it okay?"

Yunfeng gave a thumbs up and replied: "Not okay, it's perfect."

Tang Yu was happy and said: "After trying the instruments tomorrow, let's see if there are any places that need to be modified."

Yunfeng smiled and said: "Let's talk about tomorrow's things tomorrow, let's go to dinner first."

Tang Yu really made a "big effort" today and helped "a lot", so he must be rewarded.

Because Chen Cheng was busy, Yunfeng chose to make the song "Seven Miles of Fragrance" by himself.

Doing it yourself is enough.

What the Magic City Conservatory of Music lacks is all kinds of instrumentalists, and there are also recording studios.

The next day.

Yunfeng talked about it in the WeChat chat group of the Chinese National Musical Instruments Society, and in just a few minutes, the instrumentalists were all there.

The recording went smoothly, and the arrangement made yesterday was almost not modified.

The next post-production took another day.

Doing it yourself is slower.

Good things come to those who wait. After three days of hard work, Yunfeng finally got a song called "Seven Miles of Fragrance" that satisfied him.

This was also the first relatively complex arrangement he and Tang Yu had worked on. It was definitely different from the original song, but the flavor was still the same.

————

Every holiday was so short that it seemed like it had never started.

There are relatively few talented singers and big-name singers participating in the new song popularity list this year, so there are relatively fewer topics, all of which are focused on He Qian, Luo Mu and Yun Feng who were included.

After the May Day holiday, singers under various music companies and entertainment companies began to release new songs to seize the blank of this period.

"Oh my god, it's only been half a day since the normal work after the holiday, how come more than ten new songs are on the shelves?"

"Zhou Ruilin, one of the four little kings, Wang Yuxin, a new generation of powerful singers, Tang Zhen, a versatile singer..."

"It's incredible, it's incredible, the off-season of releasing songs in previous years is even more intense than the competition in this year's new song popularity list!"

"I think these singers didn't compete in the new song popularity list this year, mostly to avoid He Qian, but their ideas collided."

"In recent years, there are more and more good singers and good songs, which is a good thing."

...

In a week, 45 new songs were released, which is two or three times that of the same period in previous years.

Moreover, there are many talented singers and big-name singers.

This has gradually evolved into a competition between music companies and entertainment companies.

Penguin Entertainment released five songs, three of which are in the top ten of the new song sales chart.

Xingyu Music released seven songs, three of which are in the top ten of the new song sales chart.

Huahai Entertainment released four songs, two of which are in the top ten of the new song sales chart.

Zhanlan Music Group released ten songs, one of which is in the top ten of the new song sales chart.

Yicai Music Company released six songs, one of which is in the top ten of the new song sales chart.

…

These are the first-tier music and entertainment companies in China.

"The leader is the leader. With several senior songwriters there, the quality of the songs is guaranteed."

"The strength of the Blue Music Group has risen rapidly. I remember that it was just a second-rate music company last year."

"There are He Qian, Yunfeng, a talented man and a beautiful woman, and now there is Luo Mu. I think the current Blue Music Group has the strength to challenge Penguin Entertainment."

"Let me correct you. Yunfeng is not under the Blue Music Group. They just let them release songs on their behalf."

"What's the difference? But then again, if Yunfeng and Luo Mu also release new songs at this time, it will be lively."

...

Just when netizens were scrambling to discuss.

At 12 noon on May 15, Yunfeng and Luo Mu's new songs were released at the same time.

"Haha, the show is about to begin!"

"They both wrote the lyrics, composed the music, and sang the songs themselves."

"I didn't expect the head-on confrontation between the two to come so soon."

"Open, open, whose new song will be better!"

"It's interesting, a head-on confrontation."

...

The reactions of fans and passers-by were extremely enthusiastic, but the reactions of the two parties involved were different.

Luo Mu seemed quite excited, thinking that the last time "Unstoppable Tenderness" lost to "Time Thief", it was because he lost to He Qian, not Yunfeng, so he had been looking forward to a real fight.

Yunfeng was quite calm, and actually didn't pay much attention to who released new songs at the same time. He was more concerned about how much benefit could be generated from this competition, such as how many fans and sales would increase.
