Chapter 312 Xia Ye
These tapes were produced by Pacific Company in more than a year, but even so, in He Zhili's view, these achievements are not worth showing off, because all the singers and songs have either become famous long ago or are old songs that have been sung for a long time.
, Pacific Company just recorded, compiled and released it again.
And although these are good songs, they also have many distinctive mainland characteristics. Compared with those songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan, although these songs are not low in artistic content and have positive content, they do not belong to the category of pop songs.
, the professional requirements for singing these songs are too high. And today's young people also prefer pop songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan. In contrast, pop songs are more popular than orthodox songs.
It is for this reason that Pacific Company has been trying to change and explore. From the beginning, it simply cooperated with famous singers to record and release those old and good songs. It also intended to learn from the models of its counterparts in Hong Kong to create its own singers and characteristics.
, thereby creating popular songs that are in line with the trend.
But this kind of thing sounds easy to say, but it is very difficult to actually do it.
First of all, it is not easy to find good singers. Nowadays, many famous or promising singers are only those. In addition, these singers either have formal units or disdain to sing non-traditional songs. Due to ideological reasons, traditional singers are not interested in pop music.
Opinions on the song vary. Most think that pop songs cannot be considered real songs at all.
Secondly, there are few good songs. Due to domestic realistic factors and people's traditional concepts, many songwriters pay more attention to the upward and educational significance of songs in their creations. For pop songs (popular songs) that are not traditional,
It's scornful.
Even in Hong Kong, there are not many real creators, and many popular songs are actually borrowed songs.
It is common to take Japanese pop songs from Japan and rewrite the lyrics, then change the appearance and sing them for your own singers. This happens all the time.
From the 1980s to the 1990s, many singers in Hong Kong or most of the widely circulated songs were produced in this way. However, the reasons for the lack of information and information asymmetry in the mainland are not clear. After the 21st century,
, with the explosion of information circulation, many people have figured out the true origins of many songs they have heard since childhood.
The real explosion of popular songs in mainland China occurred in 1986, when Pacific Company produced the audio tape "Songs Across the Four Seas" for the famous singer Fei Xiang, and Fei Xiang appeared on the stage of the 1987 Spring Festival Gala at the beginning of the next year.
After a raging fire was ignited that winter, the mainland's views on pop songs began to undergo a huge change, thus promoting the rapid development of this industry.
Today, He Zhili actually heard two unfamiliar good songs in Luoyang. Although these two songs belong to the category of pop songs, they do not have the problems of pop songs that have been strongly criticized. In the lyrics
The feelings are sincere, the words are touching, and at the same time it is touching and nostalgic. If there were more songs, and even Song Yuanchao could write songs directly for Pacific Company, that would be great!
He Zhili couldn't help but asked to get to know Song Yuanchao. If he could get to know this person, it would be very helpful to the future of Pacific Company. But when faced with He Zhili's question, Luo Yang was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing.
Shaking his head, Luo Yang said bluntly: "This friend of mine is not a professional in this, and he doesn't like to appear in front of outsiders, so I can only help him politely decline."
"This...Mr. Luo, can't we discuss it? If your friend can cooperate with our company, the conditions offered by our company are very generous." He Zhili felt a little disappointed, but at the same time he also wanted to fight for it again.
Luo Yang shook his head: "There is no need to mention this matter again. I know the other party's thoughts very well. In fact, to be honest with you, he has specifically told me before coming here that he cannot reveal his true identity to anyone."
"This... what a pity..." He Zhili sighed. If the other person was an ordinary person, He Zhili might have reasoned with him and expressed his feelings. But Luo Yang's identity was different. Maybe his friend was the same as Luo Yang.
They have the same status, but they are just playing tickets. This way, they really won’t be able to impress others.
If Luo Yang knew what He Zhili was thinking now, he would probably laugh out loud. Song Yuanchao had always been very independent, let alone He Zhili. If Song Yuanchao didn't want to do something, even Luo Yang wouldn't be able to talk to him.
Besides, Song Yuanchao is not short of money, so why should he care about the small money from Pacific Company? Although Luo Yang doesn't know how much money Song Yuanchao has and how much wealth he has, Luo Yang can be sure that Song Yuanchao must have much more money than him. As for how he got it, other
Not to mention that Song Yuanchao made a lot of money just from the Dashilan business, not to mention that Song Yuanchao also had other businesses in hand.
Instead of talking about writing lyrics and music, He Zhili continued to bring the topic back to business after asking to no avail.
As for Rowling's tape release, He Zhili said that there is no problem. Although the two songs are less, it is okay to put together a few more songs and choose a solo song. As for the other songs, He Zhili has already thought about it. From now on, Hong Kong
Just pick a few suitable songs from popular Taiwanese songs to sing, and then put them together to sing.
Then we discussed how to put together the songs and how to make the specific arrangements for the tape.
As for collecting songs, this kind of professional matter should be left to professionals. He Zhili said that there is no problem. He will arrange for someone to select a suitable song catalog as soon as possible and give it to Luo Yang. Luo Yang will then forward it to Luo Lin to select eight songs from it.
Sing the song.
Recording, etc., requires professional venues and equipment. He Zhili originally suggested that Luo Lin come directly to Yangcheng to record songs, but this request was rejected by Luo Yang.
It's already August, and it's going to be September soon. Rowling and Lin Yuhang are scheduled to get married on the National Day. It will take at least half a month to travel to Yangcheng and record songs. Plus, Rowling has an employer.
, it was impossible to take such a long leave, so the song recording work could only be done in Yanjing.
Luo Yang is not worried about the venue and equipment. He can find friends from the Ministry of Culture to solve this problem. What kind of equipment will the emperor have at his feet? Besides, the recordings of singers like Li Guyi were not recorded in Yangcheng, but in Yanjing.
Then Rowling can definitely be like them.
Due to Luo Yang's insistence, He Zhili had no choice but to agree, and agreed to make an appointment for him to personally take people to Yanjing to do this.
In addition to recording songs, He Zhili also asked about Luo Lin's name, because when the tape is released, the singer's name and photo must be included, and Luo Yang also expressed different opinions on this.
For the time being, Luo Yang doesn't want Luo Lin to use her real name. You must know that Luo Lin is a person with an employer. His intention in doing this is to let Luo Lin try this path, but if the belt comes out and the results are unexpected,
, then if Rowling uses her real name, it will cause her a lot of trouble.
The same goes for photos. Putting a photo on the cover will also cause trouble, so after much deliberation, Luo Yang decided to keep it secret for the time being. He made two requests: not to use his real name and not to use the photo.
"If you don't use your real name, you have to use a stage name, right? Otherwise, this tape won't be able to be released. As for the photo... I suggest that if you don't want to show the front, how about using a silhouette? Then use a side profile to make an artistic form, so you can't see it.
How do you feel about it?" He Zhili asked after thinking about it.
"That's okay." Luo Yang nodded, but what should he use as a stage name? Luo Yang didn't know how to name Luo Lin for a while.
"How about using leaves?" At this time, Li Xiaoyun on the side suddenly said.
"Leaves?" Luo Yang was stunned.
"That's right! Isn't that poem "When You Are Old" written by Yeats? Yeats leaves, it sounds similar, and the word leaf is so beautiful! Think about it, autumn is here, the leaves turn yellow, when
When the autumn leaves blow by, the golden leaves sway in the wind and slowly fall from the sky... How poetic and picturesque?"
"I think it's good. The name Ye Zi is quite nice and easy to remember." On the side, Zhang Yong nodded in agreement. In fact, no matter what Li Xiaoyun suggested, Zhang Yong, who had already lost his bottom line, would raise his hands in agreement without hesitation.
"Ye Zi...Ye Zi..." Luo Yang muttered, and after thinking about it, he still shook his head: "Although Zi Zi is good, I always feel that it doesn't look like a serious name, but rather like an Japanese woman's name, such as Fangzi or Shuzi.
If this name really comes up, my old man will beat me to death if he finds out."
"This can all be related? Why don't you mention Luotuo Xiangzi and Jiangbian Liangzi..." Li Xiaoyun couldn't help but curse. She was a little unhappy when Luo Yang said this, so she frowned and continued to think about it.
"Mr. Luo, actually the leaves are not bad, and what Miss Li said is right. The leaves make people feel very poetic. But if you think these two words are inappropriate, maybe you can change them." He Zhili interjected at the side.
"Adaptation? Manager He, what do you think is the best way to adapt?"
He Zhili raised his hand to adjust his glasses and said seriously: "Although autumn leaves are beautiful, autumn leaves also give people a feeling of depression. From this point of view, the meaning seems not very good. In addition, since the word "leaf" is used by Mr. Luo,
I don’t like it very much, so how about using summer leaves? Summer leaves, the sun is shining in summer, it is a happy season, and it is also a passionate season. And the word summer leaves sounds more like a human name, you
What do you think?"
"Xia Ye? Xia Ye!"
Luo Yang muttered twice, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He Zhili's suggestion is good, Xia Ye! This name is better than Ye Zi, and it is more like a person's name, and Xia Ye is also very poetic and picturesque, making people think of it.
Luo Yang immediately decided to call her Xia Ye, which will be Luo Lin's stage name from now on. As for whether Luo Lin will like this name, Luo Yang is very confident. Who among the siblings who grew up together doesn't know who? Xia Ye?
