Chapter 252 Sell to Kong Qiang for a Favor (1/3 Ask for a Monthly Pass)
Chen Xiangfu's guess was right. In another world, "Promise in the Wind" would be far inferior to "Qian Qian Que Song" in terms of the quality of the lyrics and the popularity of the songs.
"He once said to me in the rain,
Stay together in this life and this life,
He once said to me in the wind,
never leave me,
How many lingering dreams are woven together,
How many scenes depicting love and hate,
Why is everything still empty in the end..."
The climax section is even more contrasting.
Of course, you can't say "Promise in the Wind" is bad. Its lyrics are still interesting. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been widely circulated in the 1990s in another world, otherwise there wouldn't be top mainland female singers such as Li Na.
Bring it for a cover!
It's just that you really can't compare.
Chen Xiangfu feels that if the lyrics of "Qian Qian Que Song" are S-level, then "The Promise in the Wind" can only be B-level, which is two grades behind.
That’s not bad!
None of them can write a few songs of this caliber.
Listening to Yang Qian's cappella singing of "The Promise in the Wind", Li Guangmin and others also noticed the gap and felt somewhat regretful. After all, they were looking forward to an adaptation of the level of "Qian Qian Que Song".
However, it is only a small regret.
Li Guangmin and others have long passed the age of being surprised, and they were soon able to push aside the psychological contrast caused by comparison, and look at Yang Qian's adaptation more rationally.
And what’s interesting is that with the contrast and the less high-quality adaptation, Li Guangmin felt that his apprentice became more real.
In the past, Yang Qian would always come up with a bunch of good songs that Li Guangmin was full of praise for. This made Li Guangmin feel that his apprentice was too evil. Such high-yield and high-quality creative ability was simply inhuman!
Today I finally saw him "miss", and Li Guangmin took it for granted.
Who is not in good condition or in bad condition?
Even if you search the global music industry, you probably won't be able to find a few creators who can write high-level works from beginning to end.
…
"The Mandarin version of the song, "Promise in the Wind," is not that well written. And the lovelorn emotion it expresses is actually more suitable for female singers to play..."
After Yang Qian finished singing a section, he stopped.
In fact, he felt the shortcomings of "The Promise in the Wind" from the silence of several teachers, so he admitted it to himself with some embarrassment.
"Actually, I just wanted to say that the song "Promise in the Wind" lacks explosive power and does not give people the sincere feeling like "Qian Qian Que Song". It can be released on CD and can be used for performances, but it is not suitable for
Take it out in the game."
Xu Weirong commented.
He has been the chief judge of the "Cantonese Song Competition" and knows very well what kind of songs will be more appealing and get more points when used in the competition.
"The Promise in the Wind" is not included in this list.
Of course, Yang Qian didn't want to give this example, but just now Chen Xiangfu asked about "Qian Qian Que Song", and Yang Qian demonstrated it to them.
"Can you sing "Qian Qian Que Song"?"
Li Guangmin asked Xu Weirong with a smile.
"You can sing "Qian Qian Que Song". This song is different. Its lyrics are particularly tense and can have emotional flashpoints, so it is very suitable for competitions."
Of course Xu Weirong recognized this song, he even couldn't put it down.
"Then let's keep "Qian Qian Que Song" for consideration. "Promise in the Wind" is actually a very good song. Do you plan to keep it and sing it to your girlfriend, or how do you plan to arrange it?"
Li Guangmin turned to ask Yang Qian.
The song "Promise in the Wind" is too sad, and the lyrics are too old. Yang Qian can study it by himself, but he estimates that few young people will like it, so Yang Qian doesn't plan to let it
Dai Yuni comes to sing.
"Teacher, do you have any plans? I didn't want Yu Ni to sing. Her experience may not be able to sing the emotion expressed in this song well."
Yang Qian said tactfully.
When Teacher Li said this, Yang Qian could tell that he had an idea.
"Didn't Kong Qiang always want to ask you to make a singing appointment? You even called me during the Spring Festival. I think if you have no other arrangements, you can sing "Promise in the Wind" to her. She is more inclined to sing it.
Mandarin songs, now all the stars in Hong Kong have gone to the mainland."
Li Guangmin suggested.
This suggestion really works!
Kong Qiang likes the song "Qian Qian Que Song" very much, but Yang Qian is definitely not willing to give up the song "Qian Qian Que Song" to others, so he replaced it with "The Promise in the Wind", which has the same song but different lyrics.
songs, it won’t be a big problem.
What's more, if Kong Qiang wants to develop in the mainland, Mandarin songs will definitely be her first choice. The more sad style of "Promise in the Wind" has always been her specialty.
Of course, Li Guangmin thought further. He felt that for a song that was not of high quality, it would not be a good deal to replace it with a former diva-level singer and a favor from an old-timer in the music industry!
Li Guangmin knew that Yang Qian was a man with great ambitions.
In China, if you want to do big things, connections are very important! Li Guangmin can't help his apprentices much. After all, he is just a composer. His voice in the mainland music scene is not as good as Chai Jiang's, and he doesn't know many people in the Hong Kong music scene.
And he is too old, so he doesn't know if he can see the moment when Yang Qian grows up to become a superstar.
He could only pave the way for Yang Qian as much as possible and introduce the music industry bosses he knew to Yang Qian.
But the master can only lead him in. Whether Yang Qian can get help from people like Chai Jiang and Kong Qiang still depends on his own strength and his own ability to maintain relationships.
Therefore, it is just a piece of "Promise in the Wind" and it is worth selling it to Kong Qiang!
Yang Qian didn't know that the master had thought so far, and he hadn't considered it to such an extent yet. He just thought that the master's suggestion was good, and it would be good for Teacher Kong Qiang to sing it.
He has systematic blessings, but he is only a human being, not a machine, and cannot be good at singing all songs.
For the songs that he is not good at, Yang Qian still hopes to have the opportunity to introduce these songs to other singers who are good at singing, have unique characteristics, and are more suitable to sing.
Of course, when Yang Qian is selecting, he will pay attention to the character of the singer. He cannot choose a person with bad character to sing. If he commits a crime in a few years and has the song blocked by others, that will not work!
Achievements are mutual. Yang Qian feels that if everyone succeeds together, the music scene will become lively again, the market will grow, and the cake will become bigger, it will be better if everyone can make money!
At the same time, it also lives up to the hard work of these different musicians from another world, which is also very important!
"Okay, let's arrange it according to the teacher's instructions."
Yang Qian nodded.
This little episode is nothing to the songwriters here.
After all, they don’t write and sing their own songs. To present their works, they always have to find the most suitable singer. This is what many songwriters of that era were doing.
Unlike many young people today who cannot sing well, they insist on singing the songs they write. In fact, to a certain extent, they ruin their hard work and also make many singers with singing skills but no creative ability unable to find good songs to sing.
.
We won’t go into details here for now.
"What other double versions of songs have you written? Let's sing them."
Chen Maochun is actually not very satisfied with the "Mandarin version" of "Qian Qian Que Song". He wants to see if Yang Qian has any better works.
If that still didn't work, Chen Maochun wanted to vocally reject Yang Qian's plan to sing a double version.
Sing Mandarin songs honestly, sing the songs that are most touching and have the greatest popularity potential. Winning the award is the most important thing!
If there is no artistry in a variety show talent show, it will just be highbrow!
