Chapter 769: I Said It Was Inappropriate (Chapter Two in One)
"Yes, is Brother Yang really prepared for songs related to happiness?"
The small flaw Kong Yi mentioned is actually a small issue that can be said or not.
For a "qualified" Party A, he can indeed ask Party B to meet his perfection requirements. After all, it is a customized song, and it is not too much to ask for a song that fits the name of the program, right?
However, after listening to the two songs submitted by Yang Qian, Kong Yi was actually satisfied enough.
Because although Yang Qianjiao's two songs have nothing to do with happiness, they are very consistent with the new spiritual outlook and new value positioning required by the revised version of "Happy Everyday".
However, satisfaction does not mean satisfaction.
The "old and cunning" Kong Yi also wants to give it a try to see if Yang Qian has other songs - the more good works the better, the revised version of "Happy Every Day", the theme song, the ending song, and the BGM in the middle are all fine
Change it!
However, he didn't expect that Yang Qian really had inventory!
"Brother Yang, this is because you are not kind. How can you hide something good? Are you worried that our Mango Channel doesn't have the money to buy these songs of yours? Or are you worried that Brother Kong, I am too stingy and sing too many songs?"
Are you trying to lower the price with me?"
Kong Yi was excited in his heart, but he complained deliberately.
"No, in fact, I have also considered the song Yu Ni mentioned. But after thinking about it, I still feel that it is not suitable for our "Happy Every Day" because it is too cheerful and non-mainstream, and may give you a sense of
It feels quite noisy.”
Yang Qian explained.
"Don't say so much, show it to me quickly and let me know if it suits you."
Kong Yi stretched out his hand.
He was already so happy that he didn't even listen to Yang Qian's explanation.
But yes, in Kong Yi’s view, Yang Qian’s explanation is too unconvincing!
Doesn’t he still know what kind of traditional person Yang Qian is?
Yang Qian, Teacher Yang, can you write non-mainstream songs?
If you tell his fans, they won’t believe it!
"I didn't record this song, there's no demo, and there's no accompaniment. I can only sing it acapella for you live with Yu Ni..."
Yang Qian didn't have the instrument yet, so he looked around, picked up a small bench, and beat it as a drum to find the rhythm for Dai Yuni.
"You can sing a cappella too! I'll just listen to it once."
Kong Yi sat up straight with a smile, drinking tea while waiting to enjoy the performances of Yang Qian and Dai Yuni.
""Happy Worship" (Note 1) may be a bit unskilled, but Brother Kong made me laugh."
Yang Qian made the first announcement in a decent manner.
"One, two, three, go!"
Yang Qian opened his head.
Although there is no accompaniment, his strong sense of rhythm can still be clearly felt.
Dai Yuni sat next to him. Although it was inconvenient for her to stand up and twist, she was also infected by the cheerful rhythm of the song. She also smiled and gestured with her hands, nodding her head in a hip-hop manner.
"If you forget your name, please follow me.
Now let us worship joy,
Those who have put down their burdens, please come with me,
Spread the word and build an era of joy!”
Although Yang Qian didn't make any hip-hop gestures and clapped his hands rhythmically on the bench, his performance stunned Kong Yi.
its not right!
Isn't this Yang Qian's style?
Kong Yi had a hard time accepting everything he saw and heard.
The song Yang Qian wrote for them contains a lot of rap and has a unique style. It can be regarded as Yang Qian trying something new because of his positive energy and patriotic feelings. Then this song is both hip-hop and strange. What's the song?
"Which era does happiness belong to?
70, 80, 90, or..."
Yang Qian seemed to be asking and answering his own questions, but when he sang this, he smiled and turned to look at Dai Yuni next to him.
"new generation!"
Dai Yuni shouted briskly along with him.
Yang Qian obviously changed the lyrics here. The original song was released in 2004, which is twenty years ago.
If Yang Qian changed 70,80,90 to 80,90,00, then the lyrics would have to be rewritten drastically, or even rewritten.
But since the style of this song is actually quite retro, after rewriting, the new content may not be able to convey the original flavor.
Therefore, Yang Qian simply called the two thousand years later a new era, retaining the original old style.
Of course, he didn't plan to release this song yet, so he didn't put much thought into it.
Now that Kong Yi wants to listen, Yang Qian will give him a demonstration. If "Happy Everyday" is really going to be used, he will definitely have to think about it carefully.
Not to mention the lyrics, even Yang Qian hasn't decided on the singer of this song yet.
He could temporarily take Pan Shuai's place, but Dai Yuni was just brought over to fill the role when he was studying song selection for Mango Channel.
Obviously, it is inappropriate for Dai Yuni, a big sister with a sentimental, soft and magnetic voice, to sing this very cheerful song.
"Open the history textbook,
Even if you look carefully for the answer,
You won't be able to find it either,
It will also be difficult to carry the back..."
Before Kong Yi could recover from Dai Yuni's cry of "New Generation", Yang Qian's mouth seemed to have turned into a machine gun, crackling and he suddenly started to read.
It's fast, rhythmic, and has a pure rap flavor.
But even Kong Yi, who rarely listens to rap and is not very interested in rap, felt that he could understand what Yang Qian was saying. It was completely different from those rappers on rap shows who just spoke at a fast pace. But the speech is unclear.
Of course, Kong Yi didn't think this was anything surprising, because Yang Qian had already sung rap lyrics in the demo he sent them before.
That one spoke even faster than this one, but his enunciation was still clear, so it was not difficult to tell what he was singing.
"Relax and let me speak!"
Dai Yuni spoke again, and she and Yang Qian started reading together.
She waved her arms and smiled with her eyebrows crescent.
Although Dai Yuni is not a rapper and has never learned to rap, it would probably be difficult for her to recite more complex sentences, but these few paragraphs are quite fun! The rhythm is very strong, making people want to dance along. My body is like going back to the days when I was playing music festivals and listening to other singers singing!
“What kind of wind blows in what era?
I hold my microphone,
Sing old school show, (translation: old school show, school here does not mean school.)
yall ready to roll! (Translation: You are all ready to start rocking! yall is the American accent for you all.)"
Why is it also mixed with English?
Although Yang Qian sang very energetically, as if there was a stage here, making people want to join in the fun, Kong Yi was not an ordinary listener after all.
In a large TV station like Mango Channel, a national institution, even if it has carried out group reforms, even if Kong Yi has walked out of the system and entered Mango Super Entertainment, he is still inextricably linked to the officialdom.
Even if Kong Yi is free to engage in innovation, give opportunities to new people, and give talents space to develop, he still has a very high political sensitivity and knows what kinds of things are inappropriate to do, and there is a risk of being over-interpreted.
!
Like the song Yang Qian is singing now, although Kong Yi has not finished listening to it, he will continue to listen patiently, but as he listens, his brows still wrinkle slightly.
Listen to how Yang Qian sings:
"Men, women, old and young,
We wear bell bottoms,
yo, afro, looking at the spring breeze,
Swinging left and right, pointing up and down with magical skills..."
And from the 1980s,
"Tight pants, tight top,
Show off your figure,
Someone showed his gold teeth,
Don't be surprised,
Hip-hop is sprouting,
Don’t take out his dentures…”
Then came the 1990s,
"90 years,
We wait for the millennium,
party electronic music,
Play crazy all night,
hip-hop for life,
that’s right…”
Hiss, each of these lyrics makes Kong Yi more frightened than the last.
Let's put it this way, if this song is released on the Internet, there should be many middle-aged people who like music, and the elderly can resonate with it and find memories of their youth.
But if their "Happy Everyday" was released by a TV station with a special background like Mango Channel, it would definitely attract a lot of criticism!
Old-school people used to dislike those who wore bell-bottoms and tights, those with afros who were not mainstream, and those who loved foreigners and held parties. Now they will definitely not be able to accept it being broadcast on Mango Channel.
, and this is the first time a song like this is played...
Kong Yi could imagine that the voices of opposition and criticism, from inside to outside, from outside to inside, would definitely be overwhelming!
With such worries, Kong Yi finished listening to Yang Qian and Dai Yuni's singing with mixed emotions.
Dai Yuni's singing voice is not that high, and she hums while sitting down, so it's enough to just listen to her, and it's not particularly amazing.
Of course, Kong Yi's focus is not on Dai Yuni's singing status.
"How's it going? Brother Kong, isn't this song a bit deviant? It's not suitable for a positive program like "Happy Every Day" that advocates the main theme?"
Yang Qian smiled.
While singing, Yang Qian noticed the change in Kong Yi's expression, but he was not surprised.
Because it was too normal, Yang Qian didn't decide to use this "happy" song. Wasn't it also out of these considerations? It's just that Dai Yuni said it outright, and Kong Yi also insisted on listening to it, so there was nothing he could do about it.
, can only sing once.
"I can't say it's deviant. What era is it now? Mango Channel was able to produce rap music variety shows before, which shows that we are actually a very inclusive and large platform. And the lyrics of your song are not too outrageous, although they are not
It advocates patriotism like your previous song, but it also advocates a happy life, which is originally a more positive concept."
Kong Yi was still insisting, he didn't want to veto Yang Qian and embarrass Yang Qian.
"but......"
Yang Qian just nodded and listened, knowing that there would be a "but".
"However, the current version of "Happy Everyday" has been revised. It is different from the previous model of entertainment games + social topics. Now it is required to reduce the entertainment content. It can no longer find a group of celebrity guests to play games crazily. It lacks correct value guidance.
The current version of "Happy Everyday", after the revision, is to focus on traditional culture, science and education, and strengthen high-quality interviews with outstanding talents in the industry; on the other hand, it is to reduce the entertainment nature and continue to create mainstream value and social welfare themed programs."
Kong Yi said.
Isn’t that just every day and no happiness?
Dai Yuni looked at Yang Qian in surprise, finding this thing a bit unbelievable.
Because this change is so drastic, it is almost like changing the name of "Happy Everyday".
However, Yang Qian didn't react much. He doesn't watch variety shows very much, and his attention to "Happy Everyday" is limited to the social module.
"This is not a bad thing. The old "Happy Every Day" has been broadcast for more than 20 years, and the audience has also experienced aesthetic fatigue. There have been many voices on the Internet hoping that they will make changes. Now they are just complying with the requirements of the country and borrowing
I am just taking this opportunity to start over..."
Kong Yi said it more euphemistically, but many people still don't want "Happy Everyday" to be revised. After the revision, many people's youth will be lost.
"So, Brother Yang, is this the name of the song "Happy Worship" you just played? Well, for this song, it still overemphasizes entertainment. Maybe the previous "Happy Every Day" has no problem singing this song.
, but the now revised version of "Happy Everyday" is not suitable to continue to excessively advocate the spirit of entertainment first."
Kong Yi hesitated for a long time before expressing his opinion.
"Yes, actually I also have such concerns, that's why I didn't send this song to you before. Brother Kong, let's put "Happy Worship" aside. Do you think you should continue to use the two previous songs, or the other one?
I will take back the two songs first, and then I will see if I can write another song that is more suitable for "Happy Every Day" when I have free time after the Chinese New Year?"
Yang Qian can get a lot of practice points by attending the Spring Festival Gala. If Kong Yi is not satisfied, he can try again and see if he can get the system to arrange some songs related to happiness.
"No, no, no, I've also read the two songs of "Blooming Life" to Teacher Lin Cheng. He was very satisfied with them and said that after you finish the Spring Festival Gala, we can take some time to sit down and chat."
Kong Yi waved his hand quickly. He was very satisfied with the two songs that Yang Qian handed over, and of course he would not be willing to let Yang Qian take them back.
"It will be no problem after the Spring Festival. And if it is to be recorded, please ask Brother Kong to help coordinate it. Try to arrange it in February. As you know in March, my time is not sure."
As Yang Qian said, Kong Yi also knew that in March, Dai Yuni would have a baby at any time and would really not be able to spare the time.
"That's easy to say, but Brother Yang, you can't just give guidance. You have to sing in person! If you don't sing these songs or lead them in singing, the audience will have objections!"
Kong Yi smiled and started his big deception plan again.
Songs written by Yang Qian and songs sung by Yang Qian will definitely have different appeal in advertising and investment promotion!
Moreover, Kong Yi was still making small calculations in his mind.
Even if Yang Qian could not be persuaded to join the "Happy Everyday" hosting team, with the story of Yang Qian and Lin Cheng's cooperation, they might be able to "renew their relationship" in the future!
(Note 1: "Happy Worship", this song should also be the youth memory of many friends, right? When Xiaohan listened to it, he must have just entered junior high school. There was also a very exciting hip-hop song at that time, Chen Xiaochun's "You Will Be Cruel"
”, these two songs sound really addictive.
Everyone knows that the song "Happy Worship" is a song jointly sung by Wilber Pan and Angela Chang. The collaboration between these two people can be said to be impossible to copy, especially Angela Chang. Almost no one can perfectly reproduce her voice. In the book
Dai Yuni will definitely not be the original singer of "Happy Worship" in this world. Her voice cannot sing such a song.
Many friends may not understand that "Happy Worship" is actually a cover of a song "orge on" by the Korean Turtles. Unfortunately, Lim Sung-hoon, a member of the Turtles, passed away due to acute myocardial infarction in 2008. This group has gradually become more and more popular.
has become history.
The composer of "Happy Worship" is the Turtle Group, and the lyricists are Wilber Pan and Lin Xi. Pan Shuai's rap part is still very good, which can be regarded as injecting new soul into the song, which is not inferior to the original at all!)
