Chapter 508 Pick one from several songs(1/2)
More than an hour later.
The door of the lounge opened from the outside, and a beautiful figure walked in.
With his tall figure, beautiful face, and the aloof temperament that radiates from the inside out, who should be kept away from strangers, who else could he be besides Murphy?
Li Fan, who was listening to the CD, took off his headphones, smiled and waved.
Murphy stared at him for a moment, then nodded back.
Before the two of them could communicate, Huo Shufen said, "What will you say at the meeting?"
Murphy was a little disinterested: "Director, Teacher Jin and the others still prefer me to keep my current style. The lyrical and slow songs have gone all the way. Mr. Huang didn't express his position, but I think he has the same idea."
Huo Shufen was not surprised. She turned to look at Li Kai and said helplessly: "Murphy has tried to change the genre twice before, but neither was too successful. In addition, there are two lyrical songs among the top ten songs on the Asia Billboard this year.
It’s a slow song, so the company doesn’t really want Murphy to make new attempts.”
Li Fan digested it for a while and said slowly: "Then for this single, is the genre still a lyrical slow song?"
Before Huo Shufen could answer, Murphy said: "It's up to you."
Li Fan was startled.
Murphy looked at her and said: "In terms of music, the company will respect my opinions. Even if we have different opinions, they will not force me... I believe you."
Facing Murphy's firm eyes and hearing her calm but firm tone, Li Fu, instead of being flattered, showed a wry smile.
Being trusted by others is good, but it is also stressful.
"I try my best."
He Jingyun's album is the main focus, from lyrics and music, to arrangement, to demos, to recording supervision, Li Kai does it all by himself. This is not a secret in the circle of the five giants.
Therefore, for this single, Murphy did not just write the song, but also participated in the entire recording process.
For this reason, on the basis of the 5 points quoted by Qiao Li for Li Huan, Murphy took the initiative to add 1 point.
The 6% share is higher than the share for new singers signed by record companies, setting a record for the highest share for a single work in the industry.
Huo Shuzhen hesitated for a moment, then reminded: "Li Kai, no one in the circle can deny the song you wrote, but whether it is suitable for Murphy, the company still has to review it. The review result will determine how much publicity resources are invested. 16 countries in Asia
There is a wide range of fees for issuance.”
Murphy frowned, glanced at his agent, with a hint of blame in his eyes, and then looked at Li Kai and said, "Don't feel any psychological burden. The issuance has been decided in 16 countries, and the minimum amount is guaranteed."
Li Kai smiled.
After chatting for a while, Li Huan pointed at the CD player and said, "Can you sing the top twenty songs on this CD?"
Murphy said: "Most of them, some of the lyrics are unfamiliar, so I can only hum the music."
Li Fan nodded: "Then, please pick one song from different genres and sing it to me."
Murphy immediately thought of his intention and readily agreed.
Afterwards, Huo Shufen made a few calls and waited for another ten minutes before the group left the lounge and came to Recording Studio No. 1.
Murphy's regular backing band, producer Jin Qiming, and his assistants are already here.
Huo Shufen introduced Li Fan, exchanged brief greetings with each other, and then took their places.
Murphy sang six songs in a row, one each of heavy rock, light rock, slow ballad, r&b, electronic dance music, and inspirational song.
I have to say that Murphy's singing skills are very good. In addition to the nearly 4-octave music, the emotional expression of the voice is quite consistent with the different artistic conceptions of the lyrics in different genres.
Li Fan asked her to sing two more niche songs, one Chinese style, one ethnic style, and a saliva song.
There are 11 songs in total, which is quite a short concert.
"Murphy's voice is excellent and he can handle all kinds of music styles. However, I personally think that he should specialize in the lyrical and slow songs. What do you think?"
When it came to an end, during the break, Jin Qiming took the initiative to talk to Li Fan. After he transferred from Murphy to Nissot, he served as, and only acted as, the producer of Murphy, and he truly deserved the title of "Queen".
Even Murphy would respect his opinions very much when it comes to record production and song selection.
At the beginning, when the lyrical slow song genre was at its peak, Murphy insisted on trying other genres. After failure, he turned back to lyrical slow songs. One of the important reasons was Jin Qiming's will.
Otherwise, with Murphy's own style, how could he retreat after falling once?
Jin Qiming expressed his personal views directly, and it was obviously condescending. It was not because he relied on his elders to see clearly, but because as one of the few ace producers in the industry, he did have the qualifications.
Li Kai is a songwriter, and songwriter and producer are not the same.
Strictly speaking, Li Kai only provides works, and it is the producer's full job to identify whether they are suitable for singers.
Of course, Li Fan's situation is quite special. He has only just debuted for a short period of time, but the first of dozens of his works has become a hit, so his opinions on every aspect of music will be taken extremely seriously.
Li Fan understood the meaning and smiled: "I think there is no 100% difference in genres of pop music. A song can contain a variety of genre elements. You have me in you, and you have me in you.
For example, the second hit of the Four Dog Days album "You Are Not Really Happy" is both a light rock song and a lyrical slow song. Another example is the third hit "Nunchaku", which is a rock and a super-fast rap song.
There are also various elements of ethnic style and martial arts style mixed together.”
Jin Qiming frowned. As a senior musician, while advancing with the times, he will inevitably be more conservative. With the development of the domestic music scene, an album has a unified style and a song has a clear style. It is still the absolute mainstream. Li Kai said
He does not deny that Duo Zhong's music elements are mixed, but he does not agree with it either.
Just like the currently popular band Dog Days, he personally has reservations about several of the album's hit songs.
"What do you mean, the song written for Murphy this time is a fusion of several genres?"
Li Fan nodded: "You can say that, but the broad categories are still clear. I will specialize in several works and choose the one that suits Murphy best."
"Several pieces."
Jin Qiming was startled and a little unbelievable. He originally thought that after Li Fan listened to Murphy sing songs of various genres, he would decide on a certain genre and then tailor a song for Murphy.
Listening to what Li Fan said now, the songs have already been prepared, and there are more than one. You can pick and choose.
Li Fan saw his expression in his eyes and guessed what he was thinking, so he took the initiative and said: "I just had some inspiration recently, so I composed some songs of various genres."
Jin Qiming didn't go into details and nodded: "That's best."
Murphy and Huo Shufen came over, and both of them cast inquiring glances at Li Kai.
Without them having to say anything, Li Fan said: "Dance music is not suitable for you."
Murphy was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. From her true heart, her first preference was to return to rock music, followed by electronic dance music.
She knows very well that electronic dance music is absolutely non-mainstream in China, but it has a place in the Asian music scene, and it plays a decisive role in the international music scene.
In addition, it is also very important that she has a basic dance foundation, even a semi-professional level.
Li Fan did not explain, but continued: "Metal rock and inspirational songs are not suitable..."
