Chapter 7 Secondary Promotion of TX Music

Many people describe Wen Dongsheng as a music and film director.

His theme song always fits the movie and sublimates the movie. There are discussions on the Internet about Wen Dongsheng's new movie, and more than half of them are looking forward to the movie's theme song.

For a director, this is both a good thing and a bad thing.

Good things have strong personal memory symbols, and bad things are overwhelming. The key depends on how individuals think.

However, this has little to do with Yang Xiuyuan, he came here to learn how to arrange music.

Chu Nanfeng's band is an expert arranger, and basically produces a song every week.

Yang Xiuyuan had a problem, and the band didn't keep it private, so they explained it to him one by one.

If writing lyrics and composing music is the skeleton of a song, then arranger is the flesh and blood.

Most of the domestic popular music arrangements are completed on computers, audio workstations or even arrangers, and one person completes the effect of simulating the composition of a multi-person band.

After editing, take each "sub-track" to the recording studio for real instrument recording.

After the recording of the instrument part, it is the recording of the vocals. Yang Xiuyuan's emotion is rich, and the recording of the vocals yesterday was very fast.

Once the first two items are done, it's time to write the harmonies and finally the mix.

While Yang Xiuyuan was listening to the band teacher's serious speech, Chu Nanfeng walked in, followed by another man in his 40s.

"Xiao Yang is here! Let me introduce you. This is my good friend, director Wen Dongsheng."

Yang Xiuyuan got up quickly, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Director Wen, I have seen your invincible youth, and I am very impressed."

"This is the author of the piece I told you about."

Originally, Wen Dongsheng was just smiling politely, but after hearing Chu Nanfeng's introduction, he warmed up a bit. Earlier, the two of them were arguing next door.

Wen Dongsheng wanted a ballad or rock, like the theme songs of his previous two films.

What Chu Nanfeng meant was to make a breakthrough. You can try pop music. Rock and folk songs are niche music after all. Those who like it are very fond of it, and there are many people who don't like it.

Rock and folk songs are niche, but they can be overtaken in curves, and they can have unexpected effects if used well.

Neither of the two could convince the other, so Chu Nanfeng recommended Yang Xiuyuan's song yesterday. It was both popular, but also compelling, and it was the kind of tune Wen Dongsheng liked.

Wen Dongsheng didn't believe it, so he came to listen to it together, and met Yang Xiuyuan. Although he didn't believe it, it was natural that he had some skills to be praised by Chu Nanfeng.

He and Chu Nanfeng have been friends for many years and know each other's temper.

"Old Chu said that you are good at writing songs, so you specially dragged me over to listen."

Yang Xiuyuan smiled and said: "It's just so so, this is Master Feng's love for the younger generation."

Wen Dongsheng looked at Chu Nanfeng, his love for the younger generation?Why didn't he see that this guy not only has the nickname Master Feng, but also has the reputation of a poisonous tongue in the outside world.

Chu Nanfeng smiled awkwardly. Yang Xiuyuan misunderstood him a little, but it was a beautiful misunderstanding. How could ordinary people understand the personality of a strict teacher who produces an excellent apprentice.

The two put on their headphones, and Chu Nanfeng played the old you.

After listening to the first paragraph, Wen Dongsheng understood why Yang Xiuyuan felt that Chu Nanfeng was a "good guy", because his "good guy" attribute was divided into different people.

Writing well will naturally do you good.

Wen Dongsheng is Wenqing at heart, and he likes this kind of Wenqing tone very much.

"I once dreamed of walking across the world with a sword and seeing the prosperity of the world. It's really well written." Wen Dongsheng couldn't help murmuring.

After listening to the song, Chu Nanfeng looked at Wen Dongsheng with a look on his face: "How is it?"

"Very good, but it's a pity you can't write it!"

Seeing Chu Nanfeng's black face, Wen Dongsheng ignored it, and continued: "It's not that I object to using pop music, but this kind of work is hard to come by. It's a pity that this song doesn't fit my movie, otherwise I really want to take it directly. Yes, compared to pop music, rock and folk songs are indeed niche, but they are deep enough. One is singing attitude with a loud voice, and the other is expressing emotion in a soft voice, one high and one low, which is in line with my style and also for the story The best sublimation."

Chu Nanfeng shook his head, he didn't think so: "Do you know why the box office of your movie is not high?"

"why?"

"It's just restricted by your own Wenqing."

Wen Dongsheng turned black, and replied, "If I wasn't Wenqing, maybe no one would watch my movies. You think it's easy to be a director!"

The two of them would get angry when they disagreed, they were both familiar with each other, and they didn't have much scruples about their words.

The teachers of the band were used to it, and continued to discuss with Yang Xiuyuan how to arrange the music.

There are three songs in Wen Dongsheng's hands. He came out of the combination of songs and movies. Whether it is the requirements for movie stories or songs, they are very high.

The three songs in his hand can fit the movie, but they can't sublimate the theme. At most, he can skip it in front of a decent background music. This is not the effect he wants.

The starting point of the previous two films was too high, especially Undefeated Youth. This film was commented by countless people in the industry as an undervalued literary film, and its reputation was good, but the box office was limited by the category of literary films.

Strictly speaking, the new movie is also a literary movie. If there is no brilliant theme song, in his own words, it will not be lethal.

So, round and round, back to old friends.

Rationally speaking, Chu Nanfeng didn't welcome Wen Dongsheng very much, asking too much and being too troublesome, but emotionally speaking, this guy really has the ability to combine music and movies, which is also a challenge for himself.

Although there are arguments, the goals of the two are still the same.

In the final analysis, the work speaks for itself, and there are good works, regardless of the style.

Yang Xiuyuan stayed in the recording studio until four o'clock in the afternoon. When he left, Chu Nanfeng and Wen Dongsheng were still composing.

Wen Dongsheng still has a week to go. If he can't come out with a good song this week, he has to go home, because the movie has entered the final stage and the schedule is set for next month.

In the hotel, Yang Xiuyuan used good arrangement software to digest the arrangement knowledge he had learned.

The role of the master is to help you open a door, and the rest is to practice by yourself.

There is only one secret to practice, which is to keep doing non-stop reflection and non-stop certification.

For example, downloading a song from the Internet and re-arranging the song, the professionalism is obtained through a lot of accumulation.

In the evening, Yang Xiuyuan logged into TX Music again, and received a message from TX Music's official account on his account.

"Congratulations, your work "Once Upon a Time You" has won the secondary promotion."

Yang Xiuyuan has studied TX music, and he is not surprised that he got the second-level promotion, because this is the benefit that comes with Chu Nanfeng's program. Every month, Chu Nanfeng has a second-level promotion quota, which is why Chu Nanfeng's program It can be called the reason for playing songs.

The second-level promotion is not a big recommendation, it is medium, and it can be seen on the side of the homepage of TX Music.

In addition to the second-level promotion, there is also a first-level promotion. The first-level promotion is the promotion of the cover of the homepage, which is located directly above the homepage and is treated like a singer from a big company.

In addition to first-level promotion, there is also special-level promotion, that is, channel promotion, which will enter other products of the TX series for official promotion.
