Chapter 115 Arrangement

"Little man, I miss you." Wang Fei's voice was sticky and no longer ethereal.

"Well, I miss you too, come back and stay with me for two days." Wang Xu's heart trembled, and he couldn't help expressing his thoughts.

"Hee hee, okay, I bought a weekend ticket and have no luggage. I will send you the flight number later." Wang Fei was in a very happy mood. Although the result was the same as when someone invited her, the mood was very different.

"You have a good understanding, you don't use that card?" Wang Xu was overjoyed, and he rushed in both directions.

"I've said it, I'm sorry," Wang Fei's voice became even more sticky.

"Damn it, go back and do it again." Wang Xu helped his forehead and said helplessly, this damn goblin.

"Get lost," Wang Fei cursed angrily.

"Ha ha"

"Ha ha"

The two laughed like fools for a while before they started talking about business.Xiangjiang's first single has been on the market for a while, and the sales are considerable.The social response was even better, and all three songs on the charts were on the list, ranking first, third and seventh respectively.

The only unexpected thing is that the Mandarin version sold better than the Cantonese version. It is a pity that the Mandarin version was not sent to the charts, otherwise it might even dominate the charts, so it can only be seen on the sales charts.

At that time, the strategy was decided because of the fear of the situation where the left hand hit the right hand. Unexpectedly, the sales volume was unexpectedly good, and the opportunity to dominate the list was missed.The company analyzed the reasons. On the one hand, Wang Fei's singing voice has indeed improved. While the style has changed drastically, it is catchy and the popularity of singing has also maintained very good.

On the other hand, there is an error in the understanding of Mandarin discs. Although Cantonese is the mainstream now, there are still a group of diehard Mandarin audiences. Those people are at the age with the strongest purchasing power, so the price of single discs is a small problem. up.

In this era, Xiangjiang is not so repulsive to Mandarin songs. Many seniors grew up listening to Mandarin songs, so the audience is still quite large.The current age and strength of this group of people are the pillars of Xiangjiang's economy. They are not so sensitive to prices, and they don't have so much time to listen to a CD repeatedly. The acceptance of single CDs is quite high.

In fact, Cantonese songs have only become popular in the last 20 years. Here I have to talk about Xu Guanjie. Although he is not the only one who advocates, no one can object to saying that he is a banner of the rise of Cantonese songs.

It's a pity that he became famous too early, and most of them are Cantonese songs, so his reputation on the Internet is not obvious in later generations.

However, after the 21st century, Xiangjiang became a little disgusted and even hated Mandarin songs. The sales of Xiangjiang Mandarin songs were bleak, but if Xiangjiang singers wanted to become popular, they had to produce Mandarin songs, which made it very contradictory and embarrassing.

But at that time, the way to sell songs also changed. Those who like Mandarin songs can naturally buy them on mainland websites.

The source of many chaos in later generations of Xiangjiang actually comes from the current era. Before the rotten country left, it habitually started the shit-stirring mode. Various policies just to disrupt the chaos emerged one after another, and the most harmful one was the restructuring of education. Of course Bay Bay too.

About 20 years later, the children educated by this generation are really not of one mind.The mainland's high-level officials can actually see it clearly. When the Hong Kong and Bay policies were introduced, there were reports in this regard.It's a pity that there are too few places that can really exert influence, and it can be regarded as too busy to take care of themselves, which left such a mess.

Two weeks after the singles are sold, Xinyibao will reduce the intensity of the singles, and start to hit the charts, selling the complete album, "I Do" will be released as the main song, "The Most Romantic Thing" As the second flagship.

What makes Wang Xu happier is the success of the song "Youth" on the list, and it actually ranks third, which shows that this kind of popular Internet song in the 21st century still has an audience in this era, and it can still get a lot. praise.

In particular, the professional music critics on Music Bus, a Hong Kong music magazine, made separate comments on this song and published an article, which mainly sorted out the various musical elements in this song and gave a rather innovative experiment. Except for the thin lyrics, other parts of the work have received quite high evaluations.

Especially the saxophone solo, which was optimized by Wang Xu based on the version that Zhou Di and the others made.Wang Xu also liked the sax solo very much. Wang Xu just changed from the original alto sax to the soprano sax.This embodies the playful and cheerful liveliness very well.

At that time, Wang Xu was quite attentive when he was making the arrangement. After all, it was the first time. In addition to the arrangement version in memory, Wang Xu also referred to many later generations and made a lot of attempts.

In fact, if you pay attention to the music scene for a long time, you can find that the change of arrangement is gradually complicated with the development of the times. The older the popular music is, the simpler the arrangement of the soundtrack is, and most of them only have one or two instruments for accompaniment.

For example, the combination of violin and guitar in the early ugly country music, the three-piece and four-piece combination of rock music, the three-four piece of jazz music, and the introduction of symphonic instruments and various national musical instruments in later popular music. The more complex, the richer the orchestration.

This is the development trend of pop music as a whole. On the one hand, it is the fantastic ideas of generations of masters in pop music. There are always some awesome figures who will make changes early and become the industry leader, such as Michael Jackson. , his rock soundtrack has completely gone beyond the concept of a rock band.

As for the Chinese pop music scene, of course it was Fatty Zhou later. That guy's talent really has the power to overwhelm an era.Even the rise of hip-hop and rap in Daluwan later, it cannot but be said that he played a pivotal role.

Although Wang Xu hasn't copied his songs yet, the arranger has copied his ideas a lot. There is such a long-haired sheep there, and it would be a pity for the identity of the time traveler if he didn't put it to death.

The second aspect is the development of industry. The maturity of various audio track synthesis technologies makes experimentation and recording easier. Even the rise of electronic music is a product of technology.

From the 90s to the 21st century, the emergence of various music editing software, various music libraries, sound libraries, and rhythm libraries allows composers to easily open their minds, and they can easily synthesize demos without mastering so many instruments. , this technological progress has greatly promoted the development of arranger.

Listening to some ancient and early songs on the Internet in later generations often feels thin. In addition to the recording quality, the lack of orchestration and arrangement accounts for the largest proportion.

Wang Xu's phone call with Wang Fei lasted for a long time today, and Wang Fei's phone bill is probably going to explode again.

Although he knew that she would come back to meet him in a few days, the old man still couldn't help but want to say a few more words, just to hear her numbing voice more.

This time when I come back, I must get out that song "Itch" and let Wang Fei sing it to herself.
