Chapter 380 0380, over and over Again

The success of a music or media company or a music studio is reflected in what kind of singers it produces and what kind of songs it releases.

Chen Cheng's experience in his previous company has softened his edge a lot and smoothed out too many edges. It doesn't mean that he no longer expects what he originally expected, but that everything has not only taught him to face it calmly, It also made him gradually become mature and steady.

What I want to do now is to help Yunfeng take care of Yuntang Music Studio.

He has been following up on the debut of Yunfeng, Fenglin Road No. 52 Band, Feng Zhe, and the albums after Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei joined.

This morning, when I was about to talk to Yunfeng and Feng Zhe about something, they both came to the door together.

"You guys came just in time." After Chen Cheng invited them to sit down, he said straight to the point: "Feng Zhe's debut EP has all the songs. Huihui wrote two songs and received three."

Feng Zhe pinched his thigh. "It hurt", which meant he was not dreaming.

Are you going to officially enter the entertainment industry...

His mood at the moment was quite complicated, with a trace of excitement, a trace of expectation, and a trace of worry.

Yunfeng chuckled and said, "Brother Chen, since when did you use a 'pet name'?"

pet name?

what?

Chen Cheng was startled at first, then suddenly realized, his old face turned red, and he said seriously: "Let's get down to business."

It seems that the matter between him and Tan Hui has already been resolved. Yunfeng did not ask any more questions. He just let him do what he wanted and brought the topic back to the real thing. He said: "Brother Chen, let's put down the song in your hand for now." Once I play it, I’ll save ten songs for Feng Zhe to release an album, and I’ll use this one as my debut single.”

With that said, he unlocked the tablet and handed it over. On it was the lyrics and music score of "Men Should Be Strong".

Chen Cheng read through the lyrics, looked up at Yunfeng, took a deep breath, and said, "The lyrics of this song are so well written, soul-stirring, full of masculinity, majestic and grand, showing the broad mind of a good man." , amazing courage and iron-clad arrogance, which match Feng Zhe’s voice very well.”

Feng Zhe's singing is both strong and soft, and just right. It has taste and connotation. If it is compared to a dish, it is full of taste and nutrition.

Comparing the pretentious and meaningless voices and singing styles in today's music scene, you will know how valuable this temperament is, and such voices are rare.

Furthermore, he is only twenty-one years old and has a lot of room for growth.

Yunfeng turned to Feng Zhe and said: "This song has two versions, Chinese and Cantonese. If it's Cantonese, I will teach you, and then both versions will be played together."

Feng Zhe nodded and said, "Okay."

He usually learns to sing Cantonese songs, namely Yunfeng's "I Like You", "It's Better Not to See You" and "No More Hesitation".

That kind of sound can be produced, but no one can teach it to the standard. But now that Yunfeng is here, learning a song well is not a big problem.

Chen Cheng asked: "When do you want Feng Zhe to release this song and make his debut?"

Yunfeng replied: "January 1st."

Chen Cheng seemed to understand something and said, "Do you still want him to be on next year's new song popularity list?"

Yunfeng nodded.

Chen Cheng mused: "China Panda Group has acquired Zhanlan Entertainment and Xingyu Music, so it is natural that it will attack next year's new song popularity list. Moreover, due to the threat of its leading position in the entertainment industry, Penguin Group will definitely increase its efforts to compete for next year's new songs. Popularity list.”

What these words mean is that when competing with singers such as He Qian, Zhou Ruilin, and Yang An who have both strength and popularity, Feng Zhe's chances of winning are very slim.

Yunfeng knows this, but time waits for no one, so he can only fight hard. Besides, they have no chance. He said: "On January 1st, I will publish a new comic, "Men Should Be Strong" This song will be used as the theme song, and the song "True Hero" will be released simultaneously when the movie "The Bodyguard" is released on the same day. The popularity and popularity brought by these two linkages will offset part of the pressure from other singers."

Chen Cheng thought about his words for a moment, then a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes and said, "We can give it a try."

"Pressure is motivation. Only by going upstream can you show your true colors as a hero." Yunfeng smiled and said, "I have great confidence in Feng Zhe."

I think back then, he also fought his way through the gods. Life is unpredictable, and if you don't fight hard, how do you know you will lose?

Feng Zhe had no objection to this decision.

After a week of study and familiarity, the recording of the song "Men Should Improve themselves" began.

Generally speaking, in addition to going to the recording studio to record songs, singers also have to undergo "studio training".

Different from ordinary vocal music course training, ordinary vocal music courses focus on solving problems of pronunciation and singing skills, teaching you how to pronounce your voice and how to release your voice, while studio training focuses on training singing skills and emotional expression.

Whether it is unfamiliarity with the environment or ignorance of some of your own singing problems, it may lead to unsatisfactory recording results and other adverse consequences. Therefore, if you want to develop into a professional release-level singer, studio training is essential One step.

Feng Zhe has regular studio training every week, and his current singing skills have improved a lot.

"Arrogance faces thousands of waves, and blood is like the red sun..."

Outside the recording room, there were four people: Yun Feng, Chen Cheng, Tan Hui, and Ji Yubei.

Their job today is to find out the shortcomings in Feng Zhe's singing and provide suggestions for improvement.

Yunfeng's singing skills are only one step away from [reaching the pinnacle and palace level]. Although he doesn't know when this step will be taken, it is more than enough to guide Feng Zhe.

Both Chen Cheng and Tan Hui have participated in the recording of many singers' songs in their previous companies. They have rich experience and sufficient abilities.

Needless to say, Ji Yubei is a sound engineer.

The first pass is over.

In the recording room, Feng Zhe took off his monitoring headphones.

However.

What greeted everyone was silence.

His mood suddenly became uneasy. Could it be that his singing was too bad?

I had doubts in my heart, but I didn't say anything in a hurry.

Among these people, Yunfeng has the most say. After all, he has heard the Lin Zixiang and Jackie Chan versions of the song "A Man Should Be Strong".

how to say.

Lin Zixiang's singing skills are top-notch in the entire Chinese pop music industry. At his peak, he was a rare singer who was good at low, middle and high notes. In terms of technique and style, he could perfectly perform extremely soulful, soft and exciting and heroic songs. In addition to his powerful breath, In addition to the masculine real voice and super high notes created by the explosive power and unique projectile articulation, the emotional singing style and the skillful use of pianissimo and falsetto techniques enable the mid-low range to sing a warm tone.

and.

Feng Zhe and Lin Zixiang are not the same.

His voice is forward, has a lot of nasal resonance, is free and sharp, and the turn between words is not as delicate and thoughtful as Lin Zixiang's. His strengths are wide opening and closing, and the transition between hardness and softness.

Therefore, he should use his strengths and avoid weaknesses when singing.

So, how to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses?

After a moment of silence, Yunfeng spoke first and said: "Feng Zhe, you have fallen into a misunderstanding. If you only want to be passionate and energetic, anyone with a big voice can sing this song. How can you teach people to admire you?”

Feng Zhe listened carefully.

Yunfeng continued: "After every splash of force, there should be a tenderness like water. For example, if there is a fierce excitement of 'Let the sea and the sky gather energy for me, to create new worlds, and to pursue my ideals,' then the last sentence ' Look at the vastness of the blue sky and the majesty of it. Since you are a man, you should strengthen yourself. Can you be more gentle and tortuous?"

This example made Chen Cheng, Tan Hui and Ji Yubei suddenly realize that there was something wrong with Feng Zhe's singing but could not find the problem.

Feng Zhe blinked his eyes and fell into thinking.

Yunfeng continued: "Also, your pronunciation is forward, so the breath is very particular. For example, in the word 'reopening the territory' in 'Hot is better than the red sun', the breath should be cadenced. You can try the catapult style. "

I don’t say that I want to be exactly like Lin Zixiang, but I can learn some singing skills.

Feng Zhe nodded and said, "Okay."

Chen Cheng, Tan Hui and Ji Yubei admire Yunfeng very much.

Feng Zhe's problem is that he has to finish before he starts, which is equivalent to ten points of force when he hits out, but twenty points of force left on his own body. It's like an old wine, not spicy on the palate, but extremely mellow in its staying power.

After several times, there are changes, but they are not perfect. In order to protect my throat, I can only stop here today.

the next day.

The third day.

The fourth day.

…

For seven days in a row, Yunfeng's requirements were not met.

Feng Zhe has no complaints about recording over and over again, because he knows that the song "Men Should Be Strong" is not simply for his debut, but a song that will determine the country and become an instant hit.

Besides, this is his job and what he should do.

After discussion, Yunfeng asked Chen Cheng to take Feng Zhe to shoot the MV first.

If it still doesn't work, then take a break first and change your mood and state before trying again.

Today, Tang Yu saw that Yunfeng had been tired for several days, so he took the initiative to cook early in the morning, saying in a beautiful way - I'll give you some food.

Three dishes and one soup, including two large dishes, are very rich.

"Try it quickly." Tang Yu said expectantly.

"Hmm..." Yunfeng took a bite of the dish, nodded exaggeratedly, and finally took a sip of the soup and said, "The color, aroma and flavor are all perfect, absolutely amazing!"

Tang Yu rolled her eyes at him and said: "Objective point of view."

Yunfeng said with a smile: "Absolutely objective."

Tang Yu tasted it himself and found that the taste was really good. Compared with the previous dishes, each dish had different saltiness, rawness and ripeness. It was a great improvement. He smiled and said: "It's not bad."

"When does the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal start?" Yunfeng asked while eating.

"In mid-January, because I am a soloist, the rehearsal is relatively late." Tang Yu received an invitation from next year's Spring Festival Gala program team to perform the winning song "Love and Sorrow" in the National Piano Competition. This is also the first time that it has appeared in the Spring Festival Gala. Piano solo program.

Yunfeng sighed: "It seems that we will celebrate the New Year in Yanjing."

Tang Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's okay for me to go alone."

Yunfeng blurted out: "How can that be done?"

Tang Yu pondered: "How about we catch the earliest flight back after the show is over?"

Yunfeng nodded and said, "That's okay."

After finishing the meal, they put away the dishes and went to the sofa to rest.

Tang Yu picked up the tablet, looked at the time, and said, "I just made it."

Yunfeng glanced at it and saw that she was refreshing the Youxianqi FM website, as if she was waiting for "Tianpengzhuan" to be released at twelve o'clock, and immediately said: "Why don't you just ask me to read the manuscript?"

Tang Yu smiled lightly and said: "It's quite interesting to watch the plot and the barrage at the same time."

She has been doing activities in the past few months, traveling all over the country, and has no time to try "The Legend of Tianpeng" first, so she simply read it with the readers.

Yunfeng smiled and said: "That's true."

People like Wang Defa no longer read his novels and comics in advance because they lack the fun of interaction.

————

"First!"

"Here it comes!"

"Get tissues ready!"

"Please invite the victim!"

"Brother Pig is in trouble!"

...

The barrage filled the screen instantly.

Compared to the excitement of the fans, Broken Sword and Broken Edge had a serious face.

With a snort, he turned off the barrage and opened the main text.

【“Young man, be careful when you are alone in this wilderness. It’s terrible if you are caught by the talisman master.”

“You’d better go back early. Don’t hang around outside.”

…

Chu Wenliang is a scholar who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. When he saw that it was going to rain, he wanted to find a place to shelter from the rain. In front of a village, he ran into several monsters that looked like pigs but could speak human language. He asked tremblingly: “Are you human or monster?”

One of the monsters snorted: “What kind of human or monster? Why don’t you take a piss and look at yourself? Don’t we all look the same?”

“Ah?” Chu Wenliang heard this and immediately took out a bronze mirror from his bookcase. Who knew that he had also turned into a pig’s head.

After a conversation, he learned that.

It turned out that these people were cursed. As long as they set foot in this place, they would grow long noses and ears, their bodies would be covered with bristles in three days, their bellies would be big in ten days, their hands and feet would turn into pig’s trotters in thirty days, and they would become pigs in the forty-nine days.

…】

Another magical plot change.

Seeing this, Broken Sword and Broken Blade knew that this village was Gao Laozhuang, and these people who turned into pigs must be related to Tianpeng.

He came to see it to understand the level of his opponent's new work.

[In order to seek a way to save himself, Chu Wenliang could only enter the village. After asking around, he became more and more desperate.

The entire Fuling Mountain was cursed. It was useless to hide anywhere, because it was impossible to leave the Fuling Mountain boundary. As long as you walk to the edge, it's like encountering a ghost wall and returning to the original place unknowingly.

This place is called Wangyue Villa. The reason for taking such a gentle name, in addition to the Wangyue Temple on the top of the mountain in the distance, the most important reason is that after turning into pigs at night, only by bathing in the moonlight can they not feel helpless and desperate.

Suddenly, a group of talisman masters attacked, facing each other with swords, and forced the villagers to ask about the whereabouts of Tianpeng.

Chu Wenliang wondered, who is this Tianpeng? Why did the talisman master look for him? Will it be related to turning into a pig?

Gradually.

From the conversation, it is vaguely discovered that these so-called spell masters seem to be gods punished by the heaven.

…】

Unlike the previous "Legend of Yang Jian", it does not start with a cruel story.

The writing method of gradually revealing the simple and confusing plot from the perspective of others is very attractive even though the protagonist does not appear.

Broken Sword and Broken Edge have to admit that Yunfeng has a way to capture the hearts of readers.
