Chapter 74 Who Said You Are Not Fragrant Momo? Well, here comes the one who grabbed the Momo! (2/2 Monthly Ticket)
"Brother Qian, tell me, are we a little miserable?"
Back in Yang Qian's room, Dai Yuni sat in front of her electric piano, looked at Yang Qian who was habitually cleaning up, and started chatting with him.
"What's a bit miserable?"
"I originally thought that those who approached us to negotiate a contract would at least have a guarantee from Magic Star Music, but it turned out there was none!"
"Isn't it nice to have none? This means that I am not a fragrant steamed bun, and no one will compete with you for me!"
Yang Qian raised his head, and sure enough, he saw Dai Yuni's bright smile, and her eyes turned into bright silver crescents without any concealment.
Look how proud you are of this girl after you told her the truth!
However, Dai Yuni didn't want others to say bad things about Yang Qian, and Yang Qian himself couldn't do it either.
"Who said you're not Xiangmomo? Don't Music Cloud and Yueyin still want to sign you?"
This is indeed the case. In the past two weeks, Yang Qian has received invitations to sign contracts with Music Cloud and Yueyin.
Moreover, Music Cloud is the most sincere. After they called Yang Qian, they also arranged for the manager responsible for the independent musician support plan to come to Holland to meet with him for an interview.
It is worth mentioning that in recent years, although Yueyin and Music Cloud have also cooperated with several independent music labels.
However, they take advantage of the advantages of the platform and, like Music Cloud, rely on the good reputation they have accumulated among fans and independent musicians for so long, and frequently launch support plans for independent musicians.
Cake from established independent music companies like Star Music.
Even the news said that Music Cloud will challenge Mosing Music’s more than ten years of dominance in the independent music field.
However, even though Music Cloud began to take Yang Qian seriously based on the few works he posted online and expressed great sincerity, Yang Qian did not agree.
"What they want is the exclusive copyright of my songs, but this is not friendly to my fans. If they had just opened a membership on Music Cloud or Yueyin, wouldn't they have to pay more in order to listen to my songs?
Opening one more membership will increase their unnecessary burden."
"Moreover, exclusive copyrights are not conducive to the development of music. After the platform holds a large amount of music copyrights, the singer loses the right to talk to the platform, and thus degenerates into a tool behind the platform, or even becomes a commodity of the platform."
"Music should still return to music, and the platform should also do what the platform should do, how to better serve users, instead of wanting to have everything in hand, being both a player and a referee."
Yang Qian shook his head. As a reporter, he would definitely not look at problems superficially, but should see the essence through the phenomena.
Just when they were chatting animatedly in the room, there was a knock on the door of Yang Qian's room.
Yang Qian went to open the door, but was surprised to see Zhen Yunyan, the music festival director Ma Chuan whom he had just met in the conference room, and Moxing's artist agency manager Lan Shizhao standing outside the door.
"Hey, is Xiao Dai here too? Isn't it convenient now that we want to talk to you?"
Zhen Yunyan saw Dai Yuni peeking her head out from behind, and thought something was going on between the two of them, with a look of understanding in her eyes.
"Manager Xiao Zhen, Director Ma, Manager Lan, please come in."
Yang Qian turned around and looked at Dai Yuni. They both roughly guessed the intentions of these three people.
But the visitors were guests, so they couldn't be kept out. Yang Qian still opened the door and let them in.
"Xiao Dai, are you and Yang Qian still rehearsing?"
After Zhen Yunyan came in, she saw the instruments they had placed on the open space in the room, especially Dai Yuni's electric piano, which was still on. She realized that she had thought wrong just now.
"Well, doesn't the song "Goodbye" have to be sung at the end? Brother Qian said that since we are doing a music festival, there is no need to sing this song like a farewell to life and death, so he rearranged the song and changed it.
A new way of singing.”
Dai Yuni explains.
They spent the rest of the afternoon getting familiar with the new arrangement.
"New arrangement? Is it ready? Can we listen to it first?"
Ma Chuan originally only came with Lan Shizhao today, but he didn't expect there would be a "surprise".
Of course, we don’t know yet whether it’s surprise or joy.
As a live director with a background as a musician, Ma Chuan knows the importance of arrangement for a song, especially Yang Qian, who not only changed the arrangement, but also changed the singing method. It can be said that he almost changed the song.
New look!
Is such a disruptive change a good thing or a bad thing?
Ma Chuan raised a question mark in his heart.
He had to listen to Yang Qian's changes first, and then decide whether to use the new version in the finale performance or continue to use the old version.
Because of Ma Chuan's words, the signing proposal that Zhen Yunyan was originally prepared to make was put aside. They sat on the TV cabinet, waiting for Yang Qian and Dai Yuni's performances.
"This Yu Ni hasn't been practiced yet, so I'll sing it briefly for a few teachers! In fact, I would rather use a drum set, so that the arrangement can be richer."
Yang Qian had no ink marks, so he picked up the guitar and started playing and singing for them.
When he started playing the guitar, Zhen Yunyan and Ma Chuan, who had listened to his song "Goodbye" attentively, both heard the difference.
Especially Ma Chuan, his thick eyebrows were raised and he became more interested.
Interesting!
The previous "Goodbye" still had a blues feel, which was affectionate and sad, but as Dai Yuni said, it emphasized farewell too much.
Now Yang Qian's playing has obviously strengthened the rhythm. Just listening to the intro, he feels that it is very suitable to add a drum set, which will have a stronger dynamic!
"I'm afraid I won't have a chance,
Say goodbye to you,
Because maybe I will never see you again..."
After hearing Yang Qian sing the first few lines, Ma Chuan couldn't contain his joy, clapped his hands and exclaimed "good"!
If you sing well, you can also change the song well!
From a sad goodbye, it suddenly turned into a free and easy goodbye!
Isn't this exactly the feeling Ma Chuan wants?
You know, after doing many music festivals, Ma Chuan no longer felt as reluctant as he did at the end of the first time.
And it's not just him, the rest of the team thinks so too.
"In the beginning, I felt lost after every music festival. There were two days that were particularly unreal. But after a year of actually doing the music festival, I felt that it was nothing. This time it was over, and there was still another music festival.
"
Their director said this when he was interviewed by the editor of the company magazine.
If you say goodbye too much, you will become numb, especially for a music festival that gathers for music and happiness. Ma Chuan hopes that this "Goodbye" will be free and happy, so that the audience can be together in this mood.
Singing happily together, we end this musical journey together and look forward to the beginning of the next one!
Of course, such changes are rare, and Ma Chuan did not expect Yang Qian to bring him such a surprise.
Yang Qian's current version of "Goodbye" obviously coincides with his inner thoughts!
