Wu Hongrong is indeed a good partner.

Chen Minhao just proposed the idea of ​​adjusting the number of songs in the album, so he immediately sorted out the album production project schedule for Chen Minhao and determined the key tasks for the next two weeks:

Currently, Chen Minhao's progress in writing and composing songs is 4/6, the progress in recording and mixing songs is 2/6, and the progress in mv is 0/2.

Chen Minhao's focus for the next two weeks is still on writing songs.

In Wu Hongrong's view, Chen Minhao's album has been 80%. Excluding a few fanatical fans, the popularity of an album is largely determined by the quality of the album and the preferences of the audience. As for publicity, promotion is just a means to let more people understand this album.

Each of the four songs created by Chen Minhao is a classic. Therefore, even if the songs written by Chen Minhao next are relatively mediocre, this will not affect Chen Minhao's first album "Farewell" that will hit platinum records and may even become a classic.

However, in Chen Minhao's opinion, the four songs he took out were just the first step in the Long March, and the next arrangement was a tough battle to fight.

Perhaps in the eyes of Wu Hongrong and even most musicians, the biggest difficulty in creating an album is writing songs and composing songs. But for Chen Minhao, the real difficult task is arrangement.

Chen Minhao also has hundreds of songs from Earth as a backing in his mind. However, his understanding of arrangement is almost zero.

Composition and arrangement are completely different things. A person may not have a musical foundation. It is okay to create and write lyrics, but composition may be okay. After all, it is enough to have a feeling. But arrangement is not like this. You must know a lot of knowledge:

The most basic music theory needs to be understood, harmony needs to be understood, orchestration needs to be understood, music style needs to be understood, and generally you need to know how to make music, and the most important thing is to practice your ears very well.

In fact, in modern music, especially in pop music, there are often different people who are responsible for composing and arranging music.

What the composer is important is to grasp and inspire the melody, while the arranger considers how to use skills to reflect this melody. Simply put, the composer gives the skeleton, while the arranger gives the flesh and blood.

The world after Chen Minhao traveled through time was not a wasteland of music. There was no shortage of arrangement masters here. All of Chen Minhao's previous songs were arranged by Wu Hongrong, and there were not many in terms of the effect. Chen Minhao originally didn't have to worry about the arrangement of songs.

However, the Chinese style in this world has not grown up. The so-called Chinese style is just because the lyrics have become literary, or the lyrics contain some traditional Chinese allusions. However, in terms of soundtrack, it is still no different from ordinary pop music: violin, piano, guitar, etc.

This is not the Chinese style song that Chen Minhao wants.

The Chinese style that Chen Minhao wants, or in other words, he wants to use "Thousand Miles Away" and "Fireworks are easy to cool" to convey the classical flavor. By adding some oriental instruments: erhu, guzheng, flute, pipa, etc., the tone of the song is gentle and round, reflecting the traditional oriental beauty.

It is rare to find a wealthy person, and it is even harder to find a general.

In his previous life, Zhou Jie's "The East Wind Break" opened the door to the Chinese style. His "Hair Like Snow" and "Thousand Miles Away" are its extensions, and "Blue and White Porcelain" even brought the Chinese style to the extreme.

After Jay Chou opened up this path, more people began to dabble in this music field.

Because there is no Chou Jie Theory in this world, no arranger has ever had similar experience, and even has no one who can intuitively feel what Chen Minhao wants.

Chen Minhao seemed to agree casually and asked Qian Jinyun to arrange these two songs, but it was actually considered:

First, lack of experience in Chinese style is a common problem among arrangers in this world, and it would not be better if someone else was involved.

Second, Qian Jinyun has good experience and ability in arrangements in pop music, and Chen Minhao, who is both satisfied with his arrangement of "Later" and "Li Ren".

Third, Qian Jinyun pursues the ultimate in his work. From the arrangement of "Li Ren", we can see that Qian Jinyun is a detailed control. This song originally brought out was too entangled with details, so that "Li Ren" was recorded after "Later". Exploring a new field and pursuing the ultimate attitude is very important.

Fourth, Qian Jinyunren is more naive and optimistic. To put it bluntly, he is a kind-hearted type who encounters a perverted Party A who has asked Party B to modify 200 times, but still will correct it.

And Chen Minhao is about to play the role of a perverted Party A.w(Д)w

Chen Minhao looked at these points and found that he could not find a more suitable candidate than Qian Jinyun for a while.

Thinking of this, Chen Minhao looked at Qian Jinyun and smiled warmly at him.

When Qian Jinyun saw Chen Minhao looking at him, he looked excited and responded to Chen Minhao with a smile with eight teeth, thinking: It feels so good to be recognized.

Chen Minhao has no procrastination, at least he won’t have it in his work. He started preparing two songs with Qian Jinyun that afternoon.

The place where the two discussed was in the office where Chen Minhao had just rented a monthly rent of 150,000 yuan. Now there are only two of them on the entire floor, which is very empty. Chen Minhao even felt that there was an echo of their words.

Chen Minhao smiled and said, "I hope these two songs can use traditional Chinese musical instruments more in the soundtrack, because the Chinese style songs I understand are not only pursuing superficial lyrics. I think that playing these two songs on a guitar in the morning will at least give them a 50% discount on their charm."

Qian Jinyun turned his head, but his eyes were glowing, and said, "Brother Chen, you mentioned the idea of ​​using traditional Chinese musical instruments in the morning that it is really great. It will definitely make the audience feel like they are lit up, no, they are lit up in their ears. But there are too many Chinese musical instruments, and the skills of using a single instrument are also profound. Which instruments do you want to use?"

Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: This question is a bit out of the outline for me.

Chen Minhao was worried about Qian Jinyun's arrangement questions, so he continued to ask questions but could not answer them. He decided to turn passive into initiative and work once and for all. He leaned leisurely on the back of the chair and said:

"Using Chinese musical instruments is an innovation in itself. Innovation requires you to put wings of imagination on your own. I don't want my ideas to limit your performance."

Qian Jinyun looked moved. This kind of full authorized trust is really good.

As soon as Chen Minhao finished speaking, he didn't give Qian Jinyun time to ask questions and continued: "Of course innovation is not an imagination without any foundation. We can absorb some nutrients from Chinese opera."

Qian Jinyun showed a sudden enlightenment expression, thinking that he had keenly interpreted Chen Minhao's suggestion: "Brother Hao, you are right. The long-toning and modern rnb singing style in the drama can actually be well integrated."

Chen Minhao nodded slightly and expressed his agreement.
