EBE Chapter 136: Floating Light is also pretty good
Chapter 136: Floating Light is also pretty good
Deputy Director Guo looked at Director Wu, and Director Wu quickly asked, "So what song do you want to sing this time?
I will definitely not stop you from singing an original song this time. But I still have to see if the song you choose is okay. "
"It would be best if you could continue the style of the last episode and choose some songs that represent the flower language culture. The song you sang in the last episode, "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style," was pretty good. Do you have any brothers or sisters in the series?"
Director Wu thinks singing can be like a TV series. If there is a first season, there can be a second, third, and fourth season...
That's how TV dramas work, as long as they can continue filming, they can just keep making a lot of money... Well, he certainly didn't mean to let Xu Yanyu make a lot of money.
Xu Yanyu smiled. If she picked among the songs of Phoenix Legend, she would definitely be able to pick out a song similar to "The Most Exciting National Style".
But she doesn't plan to sing similar songs in the next episode.
She smiled and said, "There is no companion piece for now. I will have to wait until I get creative inspiration in the future."
Director Wu's face was immediately filled with regret. There was nothing he could do without a sister film.
Deputy Director Guo standing by was also a little disappointed.
Xu Yanyu turned around and said, "But there is one song that I think is pretty good. It's an original song."
"What song? Did you bring the score or something?" Director Wu asked quickly.
Tian Huamin also looked at Xu Yanyu. She didn't pay attention to anything else, but she really wanted to listen to Xu Yanyu's new song.
"I have it with me. Could you please put it away for me, Teacher Tian?" Xu Yanyu nodded, took out a hard drive and handed it to Tian Huamin.
It was a bit inconvenient to connect the computer with the mobile phone at Director Zeng's place last time, so Xu Yanyu specially prepared a hard drive for her own music library.
The producer at the side also walked towards them with heavy steps.
Tian Huamin plugged in the hard drive, and Xu Yanyu said, "This song is called Floating Light."
"'Floating Light'? This name sounds a little different." Director Wu scratched his head.
He couldn't make out any meaning from the song title, but instead thought it was quite magical.
Based on Xu Yanyu's words, Tian Huamin searched for the accompaniment of "Floating Light" on the computer.
Several people gathered around the computer, but couldn't figure out what was going on.
Producer Qian then said, "I heard Director Zeng say that you have a library of original songs. Why is there only one song here?"
"Yes, I only put one song in this hard drive." Xu Yanyu replied with a smile.
Producer Qian looked at Deputy Director Guo, who waved his hand and said, "Don't mention anything else for now. Let's take a look at the new song Yan Yu prepared."
Producer Qian nodded and stood aside with his hands in his pockets.
At this time, the accompaniment of "Floating Light" sounded.
Director Wu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "The opening of this song is very impressive! Although the style is a little different from "The Most Dazzling National Style", it also sounds very Chinese and friendly."
Xu Yanyu smiled and nodded. She felt that Director Wu’s aesthetic taste had improved a lot.
After the accompaniment ended, Tian Huamin looked at Xu Yanyu with some admiration.
She had a feeling that this song would become a hit, it had the potential to be a hit.
She had never heard songs of this kind in Flower Country, but she had to admit that Xu Yanyu's songs were quite unique.
Xu Yanyu looked at them and asked, "Do you want me to sing it again with the accompaniment?"
Xu Yanyu went over the songs for these people, completing the song selection process.
Director Wu glanced at Deputy Director Guo. He wondered if Deputy Director Guo was free.
"Then please trouble Yan Yu to sing this song again."
Deputy Director Guo answered without hesitation.
He didn't even look at the reaction of producer Qian next to him.
Tian Huamin played the accompaniment again.
The musical accompaniment sounded again, Xu Yanyu adjusted her posture, and prepared to sing.
Producer Qian on the side was a little anxious. How could the progress be so fast and he hadn't expressed his ideas yet!
When he looked at Xu Yanyu's confident expression again, he knew that if he didn't take action now, it would be too late when Xu Yanyu finished singing the song.
He quickly interrupted and said, “The song ‘Floating Light’ sounds quite grand and majestic, but I feel that the rhythm is not as brisk as ‘The Most Dazzling National Style’.
I have also seen many musicians comment on the song "The Most Dazzling National Style" before, saying that it is popular because it is more down-to-earth.
But the accompaniment of "Floating Light" just now sounded quite fairy-like, and not as down-to-earth as "The Most Dazzling National Style".
I think if that happens, the audience might not buy into it so much!"
Tian Huamin's heart skipped a beat. Here it comes!
She knew it wouldn't be that easy to pass.
The deputy director frowned slightly, looked at Tian Huamin and waved his hand.
Tian Huamin quickly paused the accompaniment.
Xu Yanyu, who was still preparing, stopped her preparations, looked at Producer Qian, and explained, "Music should not be stereotyped. Music that can move people and resonate with them is good music.
The rhythm of "Ordinary Road" is not as brisk as that of "The Most Dazzling National Style", but can we say that it is a failed song?
The grandeur of "Floating Light" should not be its shortcoming. Not all songs need to be down-to-earth!"
Tian Huamin nodded. Why did she refuse to talk to these leaders in the station?
Because some leaders like to copy a successful experience and repeat it over and over again.
As a musician, she hates the practice of fixing artistic creation into a set of templates.
Is it disrespecting the creators or looking down on the audience to fix the creation into a familiar routine?
Director Wu also said: “Yan Yu just said that there is no song like “The Most Dazzling National Style”.
And I think the accompaniment just now is pretty good, why don’t we listen to the whole song first and then discuss it?"
"Oh, I just think that even if Xu Yanyu doesn't create a song with a similar style to "The Most Dazzling National Style", we can still choose from other songs.
I also made some special preparations before coming here and found a niche song that was released two years ago.
Its style is quite similar to "The Most Exciting National Style", and the song is called "锵锵我的国".
I was thinking of letting everyone listen to it. It really is quite similar to "The Most Dazzling National Style". It's just a pity that the singer was unlucky and didn't make the song popular. "
Producer Qian finished his words while observing Deputy Director Guo's expression.
Xu Yanyu couldn't help but frown.
Before she could say anything, Director Wu called out.
“I haven’t heard the title of this song that was released two years ago until this year. It’s obvious that it’s not popular in the market.
If Xu Yanyu really wants to sing this kind of niche song, it would be better to choose a classic song. "
Director Wu was almost about to say the word "disdain" at this time.
Tian Huamin quickly lowered her head, for she was afraid that she would laugh out loud.
Producer Qian hit the sore spot of Director Wu. Before Xu Yanyu's "The Most Dazzling National Style" became popular, Director Wu always emphasized that songs that can become classics are good songs.
He is not sure whether a song is a good song because it has not become a classic, but it definitely does not conform to the aesthetic taste of the current social group.
When they are making a show and helping singers choose songs, their first choice is to choose music that suits the public's aesthetic taste.
So if the song from two years ago is not popular now, it is even less likely that Director Wu will agree to appear on his show.
Deputy Director Guo looked at Director Wu and somewhat agreed with what Director Wu said.
But it was rare for Producer Qian to be so attentive, and he couldn't directly reject Producer Qian's face.
When Producer Qian saw Assistant Director Guo's reaction, he understood what was going on and continued, "Why don't you listen to this song first.
Xu Yanyu is a good singer, maybe she can make this song famous with the help of the singer's stage."
Producer Qian had no other choice. He felt uneasy when he thought of his wife who was always upset at home.
The song "锵锵我的国" was sung by his wife's nephew from her mother's family, but it did not become popular.
Last Friday, when Xu Yanyu sang "The Most Exciting National Style" and it became popular, her wife's family called her all night long.
She keeps complaining that the songs are all similar, and why the children in her family don’t have the same luck as Xu Yanyu? The songs she has released for two years have never become popular.
Especially after Xu Yanyu's "The Most Dazzling National Style" was on the U chart, her family became even more unhappy.
So when I heard yesterday that he was going to ask Xu Yanyu to choose songs, I wanted him to find a way to let Xu Yanyu sing the song that his nephew sang.
Maybe by leveraging Xu Yanyu's fame, the song "锵锵我的国" could become popular, and then my nephew could also put that song on the U charts.
This is also a path to fame.
Of course, Producer Qian would not let Xu Yanyu sing for free, and he would definitely give her some compensation in the end.
Deputy Director Guo looked at Producer Qian with some suspicion, but he still had to give face to his own people.
So he said, "Then let's listen to the song "Clang, My Country" first."
Director Wu looked at Tian Huamin and said, "Find that song. I must hear how good it is!"
Xu Yanyu almost laughed out loud.
Director Wu is a good person in every way, except that he has a rather straightforward temper.
Tian Huamin quickly searched for the song on her computer and found several songs with the same title. She asked producer Qian, "Excuse me, which singer sang "Qiang Qiang My Country"?"
"You should choose Xiang Mingming's version." Producer Qian replied quickly.
Tian Huamin flipped to the end of the page and finally found the song that had been played 400 times.
[Today my country is so prosperous! ]
【Oh, great earth, oh, blue sky, the people are so happy! 】
……
As soon as this song came out, Xu Yanyu quickly turned her head away.
Apart from anything else, this song is definitely popular and professional.
Tian Minhua curiously clicked on the comment section of the song.
I saw the first comment that read: "Who the hell is doing this false propaganda, daring to say it's a substitute version of "The Most Dazzling National Style"?
If you say this song is a substitute version of the national anthem, I can give you a thumbs up.
No, I'm going to find my browser and report you!"
Then the second comment was: "No wonder it was released two years ago, but this year's playback volume is only over 200... Tsk, if it was released in the 1960s, this song would have been a hit."
Director Wu kept looking at Producer Qian.
