Actor's reincarnation

Chapter 92 Problems

"I think there is a problem."

In the end, Cheng Gong expressed his opposition directly.

He objected to the fine-tuned "Road" from "Sunset Boulevard" as the band's title song.

His reasons are good.

"This song is really good. In terms of arrangement, soundtrack and lyrics, it's definitely a good song. But a good song doesn't mean it can be popular. I've been an agent for so many years. Good songs can't make it, and in the end, bad money chases good money."

"The song "Road" can be used after our band becomes popular, but not now, we are worthless now, the title song we need must be simple and catchy Something that grabs a human ear!"

"Isn't that popular?" Yang Shuangshu frowned.

As I said before, the disdain of rock and pop is related to the difference between the two.

In terms of music theory, rock and roll emphasizes the whole and re-arrangement. Generally, the musician first writes the Riff, makes the arrangement, and then adds the melody and words on it; while the pop music emphasizes the main melody and the vocals, usually first. With the vocal melody and words, find someone to accompany the chords and arrange the music.

So rock tends to be more musical and advanced aesthetic than pop.

In terms of content and spirit, most people who play rock and roll make music according to their own ideas and preferences, and carry their own dreams, preferences and ideas. Rock and roll is not necessarily the best, but it must be what they want to express the most. of.

On the other hand, pop music mostly echoes the market, and does whatever the market demands. Moreover, over-commercialization makes the production of music into an assembly line, and most pop music tunes are simple and boring.Except for a very small number of musicians with attitude, pop music appeared for commercial purposes, and it was not sincere and pure in motivation.

Therefore, if a rock band wants to move closer to popularity, it is like a person who has to give up the bottom line that he has always adhered to.

Cheng Gong said: "Old man, how did the broken guitar band suddenly die? It's because they are not popular! Not enough popular!"

"You are separated from the public, and the public wants you to die without a place to be buried!"

"So we have to combine rock and pop, and use the skin of pop to package the core of rock."

"In this way, I also have a song. I'll license it to our band for free. Let's sing this first!" Cheng Gong suddenly waved his hand as if he had made up his mind.

Then he picked up the pen and wrote hard on the whiteboard.

Written exactly his song "Choose C".

In the end, Cheng Gong still came up with this song.

Su Yi frowned.

There is no doubt that "All Choice C" is undoubtedly a good song from a popular point of view. It has feelings, melody, rock skin, and popular genes. It is easy to be sung by the public.

It is not as artistic as Yang Shuangshu's "Lonely", even less talented than "Sunset Boulevard", or even less attitude than "Song written by Ding Jianguo", but anyone with a little vision can see that it will be popular.

Su Yi doesn't doubt the song, but now he is more and more suspicious of Cheng Gong's motives.

If the original plot was because the band couldn't come up with a song to rehearse in a hurry, it was reasonable and reasonable that Cheng Gong took out "All Choice C" for emergency.

So now, when there are already three songs of quite good quality, Cheng Gong still insists on taking out this song "Choose C", which is very suspicious.

Cheng Gong's reasons were high-sounding and impeccable. If Su Yi hadn't known in advance what this man had done behind his back and what he would do in the future, he would have thought that he was selfless for the future of the band.

But now, Cheng Gong's move will only make Su Yi confirm that this guy is tricky.

Is he trying to push his song?

Just when Su Yi was thinking, Cheng Gong wrote the song "Choose C".

"Come on, try it out, Hu Liang, can you understand?" Cheng Gong turned around and asked.

"What's the matter, che, I can't read the musical notation, what kind of rock are you playing..." Hu Liang sneered, and immediately started to try to play.

On the other side, Yang Shuangshu also started to accompany, Ding Jianguo glanced at Su Yi, the bass followed, Xixi was a little overwhelmed, but soon began to play paddling.

Su Yi shook his head, then let's sing it again.

dong dong dong...

Drums come in.

"You always ask questions, with ABC on the back, I fill in ACDC, but you call me scum..."

"...burned myself for my dreams, don't breathe mediocrely, what I want is not here, the answer you gave is meaningless, how can I lose to you at this moment, so I choose C for each, and use the easiest A loose stroke, ruining all your problems, I choose C, choose C..."

After the song was sung, everyone felt a sense of incisive refreshment, even Su Yi.

"Brilliant, this song is so good! That's it!" Hu Liang said excitedly.

"As far as I know, retro style is popular in the music world recently, and this song is very likely to become popular." Ding Jianguo looked at Su Yi, and she said this to Su Yi.

"I think it's good too, this song is the best." Qiao Meixi clapped her hands and smiled.

Yang Shuangshu did not speak, and apparently acquiesced to this conclusion.

"The melody and riff of this song are very familiar." Su Yi frowned deliberately, "The prelude and main song, some of the accompaniment are very similar to Nirvana's "come as you are", the chorus accompaniment, Gunhua's "Sweet" Child O' Mine, the intro and outro riffs are exactly the same as Linkin Park's paper cut."

"No?" Hu Liang frowned, "So this song was copied?"

Cheng Gong's face changed, but he laughed and gave Su Yi a thumbs up: "Good ears!"

He immediately turned his head and asked Yang Shuangshu: "Master, did you hear it too?"

Yang Shuangshu nodded: "Yes, I heard it."

"The old man didn't speak when he heard it. Eleven, do you know why?" Cheng Gong asked Su Yi.

Why else?Because everyone in the music world is doing this now, and it is called tribute.

As long as the tribute is from abroad, no one will come to file a copyright lawsuit. You can pay tribute casually. This is not a big deal.

"Let's learn from it and pay homage to the classics. I don't need to say more about Eleven?" Cheng Gong smiled and looked at Su Yi, "Everyone who comes here has the ability. If you point it out, it seems that you are very inexperienced."

Su Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "This is very un-rock!"

"Shake the shit, let's survive first!" Cheng Gong waved his hand disdainfully, "Don't pretend to be arrogant with me, you will know how naive you are today when you can't even eat."

"No, Brother Gong, if we really pay tribute, we will pay tribute in the future. The title song can't be paid tribute, it will be laughed at by colleagues." Hu Liang said, "Or..."

"Why not?" Cheng Gong interrupted him unceremoniously, "How about I go back to Kyoto and play by yourself?"
