  Chapter 59 This Chuci is here to fry fish, right?

  Xiao Hu is the editor of Huoshaoyun [Ancient Style Awards] event.

  In fact, this is a small event, but there are quite a few people who sign up for the event, and they receive a large number of songs every day.

   After all, the top three rewards are homepage recommendations.

   This is too tempting for those small music companies and independent musicians in Qinzhou!

  Because this level of resources is usually only available for songs produced by major music companies.

  Even if the song can only be on the homepage for a day, the traffic is quite amazing. Who makes Huoshaoyun the number one user in Qinzhou?

Regrettably:

  The strength of these small companies and independent musicians is limited after all.

  Work needs, Xiao Hu has been listening to all kinds of ancient songs these days, and now he is a little dizzy.

   There are very few works that can impress him.

   Either the lyrics have nothing to say, and all kinds of rhetoric are piled up.

   Either the lyrics are okay, but the melody is too commonplace.

  These are the common faults of Gu Feng Ge, everyone is similar, and it is not easy to come up with a good performance.

   After listening to another song, Xiao Hu almost dropped his earphones.

  Spicy ears!

   Obviously imitating "Moonlight"!

   There is no problem imitating "Moonlight". This song took the first place in the season chart last month. It is currently the hottest song in the ancient style circle and has been blown away by countless ancient style fans.

The problem is that:

  If you don’t have the transliteration level of the original singer, don’t learn the three characters and fifteen turns of the others, even a million tuners can’t save it.

   The atmosphere is bad!

  Too many people in the music world like to speculate.

  These speculators saw that "Moonlight" became popular, and they made all kinds of poor imitations.

   It was Xiao Hu who paid the bill.

   Listening to music was originally Xiao Hu's hobby.

  But when listening to music became his job, Xiao Hu felt that love would actually disappear.

  Let’s not talk about the distance, at least after this event, Xiao Hu feels that he will not want to listen to any ancient songs in the next six months.

  I got sick after hearing it.

   I complained in my heart.

  Xiao Hu clicked on another contributed song.

  The prelude of this song is similar to the sound effect of an electronic piano, like a flute sound synthesized by some kind of software, with a vague feeling of flute sound.

   "The snow on the broken bridge?"

  Xiao Hu looked at the name of the song.

  It feels very old-fashioned, and it also matches the music style.

  The texture of the prelude is very comfortable to listen to, with a slightly bleak picture.

"good."

   So far.

  Xiao Hu became a little interested.

  The next moment the singing sounded:

   "The butterfly with broken wings and dead leaves that can't find flowers

   never see withering

  The eaves of the small bridge under the night in the south of the Yangtze River

   I can’t understand the wilderness in Saibei..."

  The singer's voice is very clear, like a spring of water flowing gently.

  You can’t hear much singing skills, because the melody doesn’t require too much effort.

  The singer is elegant.

   Moving with timbre.

   This can avoid the difficulties in singing, and it is a very smart way to deal with it.

  After the interlude, the clear voice sounded again:

   "The plum blossom season is lingering because of loneliness

  After the return of spring, it will soon be annihilated

  Leave me alone to enjoy the fireworks flying in the sky

   After swaying, it drifts away with the wind..."

   Listening to the first verse of the verse, Xiao Hu felt that the song was written very elegantly.

  The second paragraph transitions from elegance to coolness, revealing a sense of sadness and resentment.

  This feeling comes not only from the emotions interpreted by the singer's voice, but also from the artistic expression of the lyrics.

Yes.

   Previously, the focus was on the melody, but now Xiao Hu started to focus on the lyrics.

  Xiao Hu undoubtedly understands ancient customs.

  Otherwise, he would not have been assigned to be in charge of this collection of ancient songs.

  Xiao Hu believes that under the current status of composers in the music world, only the lyrics of ancient works are as important as the melody!

but…

  The lyrics of this song, no matter how harsh Xiao Hu's vision is, he has to admit that it is excellent.

  Flowers and butterflies.

  Jiangnan and Saibei.

  The plum blossom season returns to spring.

  The fireworks are brilliant but disappear in a blink of an eye.

  The scene description in the lyrics is full of beautiful images, and what's even more rare is that every sentence is neat and confrontational.

very good.

   OCD induces comfort.

   Unlike some ancient songs, which obviously don’t know about sorrow but insist on expressing sorrow, the content is empty and boring after piling up rhetoric.

   Then the chorus comes:

   "Has it ever snowed on the Broken Bridge? I look at the lake

  The cold moon in the water melts like snow with fingertips

  Has it ever snowed on the Broken Bridge and I think of your face again

  If there is no chance to see the Baidi Liulian weeping several times..."

  The lyrics of this section are officially off topic, and every line is echoing the title of the song!

   This is what it says!

  With the full expression of Gufengge’s textual beauty, this song is now like a pleasing painting.

  Each line of lyrics can remind Xiao Hu of the corresponding picture.

  Combined with the singer's clear voice, the spontaneous sense of the picture becomes stronger!

   It's like being there!

  Xiao Hu suddenly felt a little emotional. Among all the ancient songs I have heard these days, this song is a breath of fresh air!

  No rhetoric.

   No imitation of "Moonlight".

  Whether the song is good or the song is good, the singing is also very good.

  Although it doesn’t show off its singing skills, its timbre is so beautiful. It doesn’t have a climax, but it has a magical power that makes people calm down and listen to the song. It’s not easy for Gufengge to achieve this level!

"Perfect."

  Xiao Hu gives his own evaluation.

   Not that the song is perfect.

  Xiao Hu believes that no song in the world is perfect.

  Perfect here refers to cooperation, "The choice of singer, the performance of lyrics, and the skill of composing, the three parties complement each other, and no one is hindering the other, but each other enhances each other!"

  This is too rare.

   It doesn't look like a work that a small company or an independent musician can produce.

   It looks like the handwriting of the three majors!

   But the three majors should not like this kind of activity, right?

  Xiao Hu quickly searched for information about this song, and he is now full of curiosity.

  Who wrote the lyrics?

  Who is the composer?

  Who is the singer?

   Relevant information soon appeared in front of Xiao Hu.

   But Xiao Hu was a little stunned.

   Lyricist: Songs of Chu

  Composer: Songs of Chu

  Singing: Songs of Chu

   Even the column of arrangement is filled with the word "Chu Ci".

"Depend on!"

  Xiao Hu suddenly stood up.

  Writing lyrics, composing music, arranging music and singing are all in one person! ?

  This kind of situation is extremely rare in the music world. There is a unified name for this kind of people in the industry:

  Singer-songwriter!

  There is another classic ridicule among duet composers in the industry:

   "Nobody wants to take a penny from me!"

  Because the characteristic of a singer-songwriter is the quadathlon of lyrics, composition, arrangement, and singing.

  One person is a team!

  Xiao Hu hurriedly searched for information on "Chu Ci" on the Internet, but all he found was "Chu Ci", the first romantic poem that was famous in the history of Blue Star literature.

   According to legend, this is a new style of poetry created by Qu Yuan.

  Xiao Hu's complexion changed slightly, and he couldn't find it. It seems that Chu Ci is a newcomer in the music scene!

   But this name is so arrogant, it should be a stage name, right?

   Just use "Chu Ci" directly?

  This romantic poem is a brilliant masterpiece in the history of Blue Star literature.

   Debuting with such a name is easy to be criticized by netizens as "you are the only one who deserves Chuci".

  It's like the white emperor who has been in the limelight recently.

  Even though he is a newcomer in the music scene, he dares to use a name like "Bai Di".

  If it weren't for the fact that this guy's songs are really good, he would have been **** off by now. Do you really think that stage names can be chosen at will?

   Now there is another Chu Ci.

   is still a rare singer-songwriter!

  The current music scene rookie is really amazing...

  But as far as "Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow" is concerned, Chu Ci seems to be somewhat arrogant. The melody of this song is catchy, and the lyrics are also excellent. It may become a hit.

   "The event champion should not be able to run away."

  The Ancient Style Award has been open for so many days. "Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow" is Xiaohu's best song so far, and the other entries immediately pale in comparison.

   With this in mind.

  Xiao Hu immediately sent the song to his boss.

   "Listen to this song!"

  The boss is the one who decides the ranking of this event.

five minutes later.

  The boss calls, and the first sentence is:

   "This Chu Ci is here to fry fish, right!?"

  …

  Chu Ci is still young, a new one, trembling, very pitiful.

  Lin Zhibai just wants to gain a little warmth in this cold winter.

   But considering that the scale of this event is not large after all, it should be no problem to get the first place. If I can't get it, there is something wrong.

  Lin Zhibai is also strong when he is not straightforward.

  However, it is not easy for independent musicians to connect with the platform.

  Lin Zhibai thought, if he wanted Kunpeng to invest in a music company in the future, Jiangcheng would not be able to use it alone.

   Of course it is small.

  Kunpeng is originally an investment company, so naturally it wants to eat shares.

if you can.

  Lin Zhibai hopes that he can hold some of the shares of the three major companies at the same time in the future.

   This matter is difficult, but it is not without room for manipulation. Sooner or later, the three major conferences will find that they cannot do without Kunpeng...

   At this time.

  Lin Zhibai received a call from his sister: "Good news, Shinhwa Entertainment Music Department is officially reorganized!"

"here we go?"

  Lin Zhibai finished speaking and asked: "Didn't it be reorganized in December?"

Lin Xi smiled and said: "There are only a few days left in this month. The company has solicited opinions from various departments, and everyone agreed, so now the reorganization is officially started. In the future, the Shinhwa Music Department will be divided into ten groups. I will be ranked according to performance. Group ten."

   "Congratulations, Director Lin."

   "Now I have to call the team leader. It sounds not as big as the supervisor, but the power is twice that of before, and I can use more resources of singers and composers."

  My sister is very excited, she has been promoted in disguise!

   And this wave of promotions is almost all due to "Bai Di", so Lin Xi called immediately to share the good news.

   Then.

My sister sighed: "It's a pity that resource allocation is based on performance. My performance ranks tenth, and the priority of resource allocation is the lowest, so the current overall strength is still not as good as the other nine groups. It is Sun Gu who asked to come to our tenth group. It was a surprise.”

   "Sun Gu?"

   "That's right, he looked right at you."

   "I think it's Team Leader Lin's charm." Lin Zhibai joked.

Lin Xi also laughed: "The music department has now been changed to ten groups, but the total number of people has not decreased, so the competition will become more intense in the future. The company said that I can be promoted thanks to Teacher Baidi, so I would like to ask our Baidi When will the teacher release a new song?"

   "There's really not a drop left."

  Lin Zhibai resolutely pretended to be dead, and this time he couldn't just agree.

  If Baidi also releases a song next month, won't he be fighting Chuci?

  Chu Ci is still a child.

  Of course it is not impossible for Baidi and Chu Ci to fight in the ring, but it is definitely not now.

   "Don't be nervous, I'll just ask."

  Lin Xi also knew that his younger brother probably didn't have any songs.

   She posted three songs before, and it's normal for her to be hollowed out. Her idea is very simple. What if her brother still has songs?

  If there are dates or not, let’s talk about it after a while.

  The two chatted for a while, then hung up the phone, and then my sister shared the good news of her disguised promotion in the family group.

at the same time.

  Lin Zhibai suddenly heard a system prompt:

   "Congratulations to the host for making staged progress in [Battle of Inheritance]. This is a long-term task. Every time you make staged progress, you will be rewarded with skill points."

next moment.

  Subtitles appeared in front of Lin Zhibai's eyes:

  【Host reward: skill point*1】

   Oh?

   So this is what long-term tasks mean?

  Skill points will be rewarded every time there is a staged progress?

   Save first!

  Lin Zhibai's hamster syndrome has occurred again.

  The sudden reward from the system also made Lin Zhibai re-examine the long-term task of [Battle of Inheritance].

  My sister's promotion system issued rewards.

  Will there be rewards if the variety show is successful?

  Will there be rewards if the drama is successful?

  If there are rewards for these, Lin Zhibai's singing skills will be saved.

  Because Lin Zhibai's current singing skills are too weak, he can't sing songs that are too difficult, so the options are too narrow, he needs more skill points—

  Chu Ci is the man who wants to become the King of Songs!

  ————

  ps: Thank you [Wumahang] boss for the reward. When will our entertainment master release a new book? I wish the boss good health and the new book is super hot!

   Ask for a monthly pass
