I'm not just a director

Chapter 201 Awards
It's been a while since Zhou Peng joined Starfire Entertainment. Before that, Jiang Pei'an was too busy to take care of him.

This time, the backbone of the company was called for a meeting, mainly to discuss Zhou Peng's next album.

After they were seated, they exchanged pleasantries first. Zhang Hongguang met Shen Yongge for the first time, and Jiang Pei'an introduced them to each other.

"This time, I will first set the tone for Zhou Peng's first album, what route to take."

Jiang Pei'an spoke first.

Hearing this, Zhou Peng immediately sat upright, staring at Jiang Pei'an with piercing eyes.

In today's era, the sales volume of physical albums is a rigid indicator for measuring singers, and it is a manifestation of the appeal of stars!
Taiwan Province is a microcosm of the Chinese music scene. The creative era of singers in Taiwan Province since the new century is a glorious era for the Chinese music scene!
In July this year, singer Sun Yanzi released the album "Kite".

This is Sun Yanzi's third Mandarin album, which contains 10 songs in total.

Once the album was released, it immediately swept the major charts.

Judging from the later sales statistics, "Kite" was directly promoted to top2001 in 1.

And followed by Jay Chou's album "Fantasy" released this year.

The album name of "Fantasy" comes from the English pronunciation of "Fantasy", which means "fantasy".

This name also reflects Jay Chou's consistent music concept——

Music is fantasy, and fantasy is joy.

It was also from this time that there was a saying that there is Jay Chou for men and Yanzi Sun for women.

After Jiang Pei'an read the data he asked Su Qing to search for everyone, he smiled and said:
"The style of popular pop music this year is very changeable. Hong Kong and Taiwan are still leading the Chinese music scene. This has basically become an unbreakable curse."

Everyone in the room couldn't help but smile wryly upon hearing this.

There is a chain of contempt in the entertainment industry, probably because Japan and South Korea look down on Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Hong Kong and Taiwan look down on the mainland, while the mainland imitates Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and even Europe and the United States.

Not only the entertainment industry is like this, but the music world is also adapting.

"I have a suggestion."

Zhang Hongguang suddenly said.

"Dean Zhang, please tell me."

"I think if we blindly imitate Japan, South Korea or Europe and the United States, the final result will definitely be abandoned by the market.

In terms of imitation, we are definitely not as good as Hong Kong and Taiwan. This is an indisputable fact. "

Zhang Hongguang said with emotion.

Jiang Pei'an nodded.

There was a popular saying in the Chinese music scene before:

Miyuki Nakajima feeds half of the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene.

In fact, in the 90s and [-]s, many people thought they were some original Chinese hits, most of which were adapted from Japanese songs.

For example, "Song of Thousand Thousands of Ques", this can be said to be one of the most influential Cantonese songs in the Mainland.

In addition to the early Chen Huixian version, Mei Yanfang, Li Yiyun and others have also sung this song successively.

Many people always thought that this song was original in Chinese, but they didn't know it until later.

This song is adapted from the song "Song of the Setting Sun" by Japanese singer Masahiko Kondo.

Similarly, there are a large number of excellent songs such as Zhou Huajian's representative song "Flower Heart", Milk Tea's "Later", Fan Weiqi's "First Dream".

In the 20s and 80s, with the strengthening of economic and cultural exchanges, countries also began to learn from each other in the field of music.

Japan's pop music industry at that time was very mature, with many excellent works and artists.

Therefore, musicians in Hong Kong and Taiwan began to introduce Japanese music elements for adaptation and creation.

From a business point of view, adapting Japanese songs that have been successful in the market can reduce investment risks and increase the probability of success.

Moreover, adapting songs can shorten the writing time and speed up the release and promotion of songs...

Of course, these are the ways of playing in the last century. In the new millennium, the rise of original music has actually promoted the rise of the Chinese music scene.

"Last time I talked with Mr. Jiang about the concept of Chinese style, so I personally think that Pengpeng's first album should develop in this direction.

It focuses on the Chinese style. After all, what belongs to the nation is what belongs to the world. It must have our Chinese characteristics. "

Zhang Hongguang is worthy of being the dean of the Nortel Music Research Institute, and he speaks in a set way.

But Shen Yongge was a little puzzled, and said:
"Chinese style, does pop music have this style?"

Zhang Hongguang smiled and said:
"There has been music of a similar style for a long time, but it has not been named.

The last time Mr. Jiang went to record the song "Fireworks Are Cold", Mr. Jiang brought it up. "

Shen Yongge suddenly realized, and said:
"Oh, that's why, I watched the movie "Fireworks Are Cold" and the song really fits the theme of the movie very well.

It is no exaggeration to say that Mr. Jiang's song allowed the atmosphere of the whole movie to continue beyond the screen. "

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"It's not that exaggerated. You can listen to this song, it has very Chinese elements."

As he spoke, Jiang Pei'an took out a radio and pressed the play button.

Everyone looked at the radio curiously, and then a burst of fast-paced music came out.

"I'm still in Hong Kong tomorrow morning, drinking soup at a Kowloon teahouse.

How about dancing in Xi'an, I am on the embankment of the moat.

Standing on the ancient and mysterious city wall, the moonlight shakes and flickers..."

Hearing this song, everyone just felt refreshed. In this era when everyone loves to sing sad and slow songs, there is such a fast-paced song.

Unlike Korean electronic dance music, this fast-paced song sounds particularly comfortable, without giving people a sense of earthy discomfort.

And the musical instruments involved are also very rich.

Huqin, Beijing Erhu, Yueqin, Xianzi, Di, Sheng, Suona, Yungong, etc.

Just one song uses at least ten kinds of musical instruments, and all of them are traditional Chinese musical instruments.

"One ration, one bed, one wall and one window.

I sprinkled the moonlight and planted one acre of sorghum at a time.

Alone in the Great Northern Wilderness, a bowl of hot soup
warmed me up all night..."

The following fast-paced rap pushed the atmosphere of the song to a climax.

As soon as the rap sounded, everyone couldn't help but be moved.

Adding rap to such a traditional song is a very bold innovation.

But it sounds surprisingly good!

After the song was sung, Jiang Pei'an looked at the crowd with a smile and said:

"This song is the title song "Dao Ma Dan" of Hong Kong singer Li Wen's new album, what do you think?"

"Very good, this form of music is refreshing and very emotional."

Zhang Hongguang said excitedly.

Shen Yongge nodded and said:

"The rap in the middle is very impressive, it should be sung by Jay, right?"

Jiang Pei'an nodded, and Shen Yongge sighed:

"This is a very talented musician, and I paid attention to him when he first debuted.

I even wanted to sign him, but he was relatively close to Wu Zongxian at that time, and we didn't have a chance. "

Jiang Pei'an answered:

"This song is composed by Jay himself, and written by Fang Wenfan. This pair is really good. You can pay attention to them in advance."

Zhang Hongguang nodded and said:

"This song can be said to broaden our understanding of Huaxia style.

Judging from the lyrics, music, and musical instruments, as long as two of the three have Chinese elements, it is basically possible to determine whether the song is Chinese. "

Although what Zhang Hongguang said is a bit narrow, judging from the relevant styles of music currently on the market, it seems to be the same reason.

"So, for Pengpeng's first album, I plan to use all Chinese styles, and everyone can find relevant elements to study after they go back.

I will also try to write a few songs for Pengpeng. When we meet again next time, please remember to bring your ideas and works. "

"That's it for today?"

Jiang Pei'an looked at the crowd and asked.

"Okay, then we look forward to Mr. Jiang's work."

"Judging from the songs "Left Fingering the Moon" and "Fireworks Are Cold", Mr. Jiang is definitely at the level of Wang Zhan when he makes a move.

Pengpeng, you're on fire. "

Zhang Hongguang happily patted Zhou Peng on the shoulder.

Hearing that Jiang Pei'an wanted to compose and write songs for himself, Zhou Peng was the most excited.

You must know that she has always been obsessed with the song "Left Fingering the Moon" written by Jiang Pei'an.

That song was extremely difficult to sing, and she definitely couldn't perform it perfectly in her current state.

This also made her have great expectations for Jiang Pei'an's next song.

When everyone left one after another, Shen Yongge and Yang Kun were still sitting on the bench.

There is something wrong.

After everyone left, Jiang Pei'an asked with a smile:

"Boss Shen, Kunzi, is there anything else you two need?"

Shen Yongge rubbed his hands together, and slowly said:

"Mr. Jiang, should we also plan for Kunzi? He has not yet released his song "It Doesn't Matter", and he doesn't know what the market will respond to."

Yang Kun nodded quickly from the side.

Don't they just want to sing.

After Jiang Pei'an took over Zhushu Culture, most of Zhushu's original singers chose to terminate their contracts.

Only Yang Kun chose to stay and wait for development.

Of course, it is also possible that Yang Kun is really afraid of finding a job and wants to be more stable.

No matter what the reason was, since he became Jiang Pei'an's subordinate, he would naturally not treat him badly.

"I thought it was something. I wanted to wait a few days to find Kunzi alone. Since you mentioned this matter, I won't keep it to myself."

Jiang Pei'an took out a piece of paper from the folder.

Yang Kun suddenly lifted his spirits, is this a song written for himself?
Taking the manuscript paper with both hands, Yang Kun read it line by line.

When Yang Kun was reading the lyrics, Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"Kunzi's situation is different from other singers, because your voice is unique, so your songs are destined to be special.

Fast-paced and Huaxia-style songs are not suitable for you for the time being, and you can try to reverse the song when you become famous in the future.

Now we are still gradually entering the market in the form of singles, so that the audience can gradually get to know you.

The current main theme is slow songs that hurt feelings, so let's follow this road first, and take the high-quality route. "

Yang Kun's voice is very characteristic, reminding Jiang Pei'an of a "singer who got under the car".

At this point in time, he should be able to sell 150 million copies in Asia next year with an album called "Darkness".

This is a very terrifying sales volume, enough to allow him to walk away from the construction site from his fellow workers and embark on a broad road.

Well, it's not impossible to copy his songs, at least Yang Kun's voice and style are quite similar to his.

While Jiang Pei'an was planning Yang Kun's next route, Yang Kun slowly raised his head, looked at Jiang Pei'an and said:

"Mr. Jiang, can I try singing this song first?"

"Of course, it just so happens that Mr. Shen is also listening."

Shen Yongge nodded and said:
"Then give it a try, and let me appreciate Mr. Jiang's masterpiece."

Yang Kun nodded, holding the manuscript paper in his hand, cleared his throat, and said slowly:

"Maybe it's loneliness, the air has become very thin, and the city full of neon lights has come out of the desert.

Still waiting for you, my heart is about to die, if there is something to stimulate my soul..."

If Yang Kun has any masterpieces besides "Indifferent", then this song "Empty City" is undoubtedly the best.

This is a hit song for later generations.

Performed by Yang Kun's specially made voice, there is a sense of vastness and vastness.

And Yang Kun's hoarse feeling is very real when interpreting the theme of love.

The tearing pain, the despair after helplessness, and the cold loneliness undoubtedly added a different kind of emotional sustenance to this song.

"This city is so empty, this memory is so fierce.

This street is full of traffic, who can I embrace.

This brow is so heavy, this yearning is so strong..."

The chorus part is accompanied by a high-pitched voice, and the rhythm is obviously accelerated, just like the state of mind of people in trouble.

The increase in the span of the sound range is like the ups and downs in people's hearts.

Who can guarantee that he has not sung this song hysterically late at night?

Because of loving someone, a bustling city full of traffic is also an empty city.

Whether it is emotion or appeal, this song is definitely tailor-made for Yang Kun.

After singing the song, Yang Kun slowly came out of his emotions.

"How is it?"

Yang Kun looked at Shen Yongge and asked.

Shen Yongge nodded heavily, and said excitedly:

"Okay, very good, especially the line 'This city is so empty, this memory is so fierce, this street is full of traffic, who can I embrace'.

It is a perfect presentation of the mentality of many people who cannot be loved. The empty city is not empty, but the heart is empty.

Mr. Jiang, I didn't expect that your research on pop music is so deep. I really appreciate you for creating such excellent music for Yang Kun. "

Jiang Pei'an waved his hand and said:
"This is what I should do. We will release "It Doesn't Matter" and "Empty City" in the form of singles, first to make Yang Kun famous, and then release an album."

Shen Yongge thought for a while and said:

"Okay, just listen to Mr. Jiang."

"Thank you, President Jiang."

Yang Kun, who was dull and speechless, choked out a word of thanks.

……

Jiangsu and Zhejiang, wave city.

This is an internet celebrity city, um, just an internet celebrity in name.

Anyone who loves to surf the Internet has never heard the joke that "Jiangsu and Zhejiang are very small, but your wave is very big".

It is similar to the Internet term "Bengbu lived" in Xin'an Province.

On the evening of October 10, the 22th China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival Awards Gala was being held at the Perth Stadium.

Many star directors came to the scene, such as Xie Jin, Zhou Xingchi, Chen Dao, Lu Liping, Ning Jing and more than 40 stars.

The scene was very lively, outside were reporters with long guns and short guns and OB vans parked on the side of the road.

Spectators and fans surround the gate of the stadium with three floors inside and three floors outside.

Whenever a star steps onto the red carpet and walks into the hall, fans shout loudly.

The appearance of Jiang Pei'an has attracted the attention of many people...
