Chapter 76 Follow the mass line, wait, why are there Cantonese songs? (2/2 ask for a monthly ticket)
Why did Dai Yuni want to start a company in the first place?
music!
The answer to this question is simple, and she has not forgotten her original intention.
Because she likes music and is unwilling to give up her hobbies and dreams, she chooses to take a detour!
By starting a company, Dai Yuni can convince her father to give herself a few more years to try.
At the same time, you can also recruit more creative musicians like Yang Qian, and then see if you can find songs suitable for you.
Of course, at that time, Dai Yuni did not expect that Yang Qian was so powerful and could "take care of" her by herself.
There is no need to consider signing someone else!
Dai Yuni's own requirements are not high, as long as she can sing happily.
So she never thought about how big the company would be, whether it would be number one in the country, top five in the world, etc. She had no such naive ideas.
But after listening to Mo Xing's introduction, Dai Yuni began to realize the gap between ideal and reality.
The company she envisioned was far from as powerful and outstanding as Moss.
"And I don't think I can be as powerful as Moxing. Even if my dad invests in me, I can't do it. They are so powerful, and they have more than 20 years of experience and accumulation here!"
It wasn't that Dai Yuni was so shocked that she lost her confidence. She was speaking from the perspective of a good friend and wanted to think about Yang Qian and do his best.
Yang Qian signed a contract with Mo Xing. With his talent and ability, he will definitely be taken seriously. Like today, the director and the manager of the artist management department are here.
Moxing can also provide Yang Qian with a lot of help, creative freedom, resource tilt, and what Yang Qian longs for - more performance opportunities!
The latter was said by Yang Qian himself. Dai Yuni had a chat with him. Yang Qian said that after his debut, he wanted more stages and more opportunities to sing face-to-face for fans.
Moxing’s two music festivals and cooperation with those live houses, aren’t these resources what Yang Qian needs?
If Yang Qian rejected these opportunities because he promised himself, wouldn't it go against his dream?
What Dai Yuni wants is for mutual support and mutual success with Yang Qian, and she does not want to be the person who holds Yang Qian back!
"I didn't reject Mo Xing because of you."
Yang Qian's words made Dai Yuni freeze on the spot.
"Although it does have a certain relationship with you, it is not the main reason."
The additional explanation still failed to close Dai Yuni's stupidly open mouth.
Yang Qian had no choice but to continue telling her his thoughts.
"I didn't know much about the company Moxing before, but this time I heard from them that they are quite good. The company has its own characteristics and its own unique culture. But it's also because they are so unique. The music
The style may not be suitable for me."
Dai Yuni understood now and nodded:
"Yes, your songs are more elegant. They are not comparable to the punk, rock and rap songs like Mo Xing."
Yang Qian's songs contain many literary and artistic lyrics, and his style is more popular, more like those previous mainstream pop singers, and more suitable for television and the big stage.
Mo Xing is indeed not suitable for Yang Qian in this regard. On the contrary, those major record companies and brokerage companies are more in line with his "temperament".
But the latter is not as easy to talk to as Mo Xing. Artists are cash cows. Among Yang Qian, success is easy to say. At most, it will be tiring and he will make announcements. But if he is unsuccessful or encounters a bad boss, he may
Being suppressed or even restrained by the Overlord's Treaty, the good years of youth are gone!
So, doesn't it mean that there is hope for me again?
Dai Yuni secretly rejoiced.
Although I, the little boss, am not talented, he definitely has a conscience!
I already have a small assistant, isn’t this unconscionable?
"It's not elegant. In fact, it's not elegant at all. The reason why pop music is popular is actually because it is for the masses, follows the mass line, and can be enjoyed by both refined and popular people."
"Similarly, rock and folk music used to be underground niche music, but not anymore! Because in the past thirty years, many excellent musicians have been working hard. In addition to promotion through channels like music festivals,
They also took the mass line!"
"Look at the popular rock and ballads, are their lyrics and music styles much better? Instead of popping up some vulgar stuff at every turn, they are more elegant and more acceptable to the public?"
"I don't exclude other music types, such as rap, even electronic music, and punk. In fact, music type is just a form. The key is the person who creates the work. Is he deliberately maverick and sensational? Or is he close to reality and close to the masses?
,Spread positive energy!"
Yang Qian now has no prejudice against those still niche music types. Although he did not like them before and rarely listened to rap, but that was just because there were few rap works that followed the mass line.
Moreover, a lot of songs that Yang Qian unlocked some time ago actually included a rap song written by the songwriter of "Summer Wind". He can't learn it now, but after listening to that rap song, Yang Qian
This kind of music has changed.
It turns out that music can still do this. Even rap can be played so elegantly and refined. At the same time, it can also be integrated into other music types, raising the level of the song to such a great height!
This is why Yang Qian said such things to Dai Yuni now.
"Wait a minute, Brother Qian, I have a little question!"
Dai Yuni listened very carefully to Yang Qian's long speech this time, and even raised her hands, just like a primary school student in class.
"you say."
"I remember you told me before that the current short video music is too pursuit of traffic, and many of them are unpalatable, but isn't this also following the mass line? These songs are liked by many people, right? Otherwise, how could it be possible?
Become popular?”
Because it was a musical issue that interested her, Dai Yuni and Yang Qian had a heated discussion.
"We have to look at how it became popular. Is it because the song itself is beautiful and touches people's hearts, or is it just the melody and the magical rhythm, which makes it easy for the beauties to change their clothes or do some spicy dances!"
Before Yang Qian finished speaking, Dai Yuni narrowed her eyes and pointed at him with a smile.
"Hey, Brother Qian, are you so knowledgeable about these things?"
"Don't get me wrong, my roommate took me to see some of them before, but later I felt it was a waste of time... Ahem, don't interrupt!"
Yang Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and found that he was getting darker and darker.
Back to the topic.
"Some time ago, I read a book written by a very powerful lyricist from Hong Kong. He said, 'Public opinion may not necessarily be discerning. However, it does not mean glaucoma and cataract.' 'Fashion may not necessarily be good, but it is not necessarily good.'
Good things never become popular!" (Note 1)
"I think he is right. Although some Internet celebrities' songs are popular because of their melody and video content, there are still some new songs that have become popular on the Internet because of their excellent lyrics and music that touch people's hearts!"
"Furthermore, Yu Ni, I wonder if you have noticed that there are many songs by Internet celebrities now. They are actually classic songs from more than ten or twenty years ago. They were covered by Internet celebrity singers and then became popular again?"
Yang Qian and Dai Yuni laughed.
"Well, I know, but their singing is so ugly. I still like the original singing."
Dai Yuni nodded.
"This is because they just want to become famous and don't polish their singing skills carefully. I don't want to make videos or show my face often on the Internet. This is also the reason. I feel that my singing skills are not good enough and I still need to practice! But old songs become popular.
In fact, it also illustrates a truth!”
Yang Qian paused.
"What's the point?"
Don't show off!
"A classic is a classic! If a good work is good, in a few decades, people will still be willing to listen to it and sing it. Just like we, hundreds of years later, still like Beethoven and Mozart's works!"
"Popular logic may change, but people like good things and beautiful things. This logic is eternal!"
"This is why I hope that the route I take is popular and can be appreciated by both refined and popular people!"
"I don't deny that some types of music and some messily written music have their meaning, and there is a market and space that needs them. But what I want to do and what I can do is to bring you some beautiful music works and work hard to spread them.
Be beautiful and spread positive energy!”
Yang Qian firmly expressed his feelings to Dai Yuni.
Dai Yuni was a little confused, but she still nodded firmly and looked at him with admiration.
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's practice a new song! See if you can play the chords with me. If not, I'll play and sing by myself. The time is too short."
"What? There's a new song?"
Dai Yuni's eyes widened in disbelief.
This guy is with me every day, and I haven't seen him write any songs. Where did he come up with a new song?
"Well, didn't they use "Goodbye"? I'm afraid that the songs we prepared will not be enough for the stage, so I used a Cantonese song I wrote before to meet the emergency."
Cantonese songs?
This guy can also write Cantonese songs?
