Chapter 94 0093: Alas, the Young Man Has Gone Astray
"Yi, do you want to change the song? If so, I'll go tell them."
In a lounge in the B station building, Xu Chenyi and his agent were watching the live broadcast of the Qixi Love Concert. After listening to Lin Yu and Qin Shiyue's "A Stunning Face", the agent couldn't help but worry about the song Xu Chenyi was going to sing.
"No need to change." Xu Chenyi knew what he was worried about and said, "The two song lists are just the same style, but the emotions they express are different. Besides, my adaptation is a combination of ancient style and modern style, which will not conflict with them at all."
This "conflict" refers to the comparison between songs of the same type.
The agent only provided suggestions, and the decision was in Xu Chenyi's hands: "Okay."
Xu Chenyi smiled and said: "This song "A Glimpse of Beauty" is not at the ceiling of ancient style songs. At most, it touches the butt of first-class ancient style songs. With comparison, the good ones will appear better."
"At your age, it is good to be confident, but..." The agent stopped and considered whether to continue. After weighing the pros and cons, he said: "Your adaptation of "Night Will Dawn" is a bit big. You changed the original bitter song into a sweet R&B style song. This is a double-edged sword. You have to be prepared to accept various different "evaluations." "
"I know it." Xu Chenyi didn't care. While swiping his phone, he said: "According to the data of major music platforms, the post-00s have become the main force of consumption in the digital music market, listening to an average of 22 songs a day. Young, fashionable and energetic songs are their first choice, so..."
His idea is very simple, give priority to catering to the tastes of the post-00s, and don't do anything against the market.
The agent hesitated to speak. It is true that the post-2000s are the main force, but if we look at the overall situation, the post-90s account for 31%, which is only 9% lower, not to mention the post-80s, 70s, and 60s who share the remaining 29%.
He checked the time and reminded: "You are the third one to go on stage, it's almost time to warm up."
"It's still early, at least wait another 40 to 50 minutes." Xu Chenyi said, opened the King of Glory on his mobile phone, called his friends, and started the Canyon Hegemony.
The agent was used to it, and didn't say anything. He got up and checked the details of the stage effect with the person in charge of this Qixi Love Concert.
Finally.
At 7:20 in the evening, the much-anticipated Xu Chenyi went on stage.
"Chenyi, fly bravely, fans will always follow you!"
The fans' cheering slogans instantly occupied the live broadcast room, and gifts such as glow sticks, light boards, and flying kisses were constantly on the screen. The number of online viewers soared from more than 500,000 to more than 2 million.
It can be seen that the traffic is terrifying, and there are a lot of fans.
"Oh my god, this popularity..." Chen Gan couldn't help but smack his lips, and the live broadcast room was stuck.
"Popularity does not equal strength, listen to how well the song is sung." Jiang Ge has no prejudice against traffic, and he doesn't criticize people or things.
Because traffic is what artists rely on to survive in the entertainment industry, which artist would say "I don't want any traffic when I enter the entertainment industry"? It mainly depends on whether it is equal to strength.
I remember that in my previous life on Earth, I saw a very interesting interpretation of traffic on the Internet.
[It is a commendatory word for artists with no achievements, no strength, and no popularity;
It is an adjective for artists with no achievements, no strength, but only popularity;
It is a derogatory word for artists with both strength, achievements, and popularity. 】
I don't know when traffic started to change its taste, and it can even be regarded as a siege, people outside the wall want to get in, and people inside the wall want to get out.
Chen Gan turned off the barrage, and said, "Oh, isn't Xu Chenyi singing the ancient style song "Night Will Dawn"? This outfit, half a dress, the lower half a Hanfu, what a mix and match style, it's out of place."
Jiang Ge is no longer the same as before, he has a little bit of music ink in his belly, and he sees it more deeply and clearly, saying, "He should have added some pop music elements to the song "Night Will Dawn" to show the sparks of the collision between ancient style and modern style."
Chen Gan shook his head and said, "I don't understand the current aesthetics, is it the more alternative the better?"
Jiang Ge smiled and said, "Everyone has their own preferences, I can only say that you don't like this."
Chen Gan frowned and said, "If I wear this, my dad will definitely kick me out."
His parents are more traditional, so there is no ear piercing or tattoo on him.
The parents of "Jiang Ge" are just the opposite. They are open-minded, but they have a slight mysophobia and don't like to have extra things on their bodies, such as watches, rings, necklaces, etc.
While the two were chatting, Xu Chenyi started singing.
Unlike the ancient style brought by the guzheng prelude of "A Glimpse of Beauty", this song "Night Will Dawn" starts with a very technological electronic music.
"The dream is broken at five o'clock in the morning and the night will wake up
Snow condenses into ice, wrapping around the mountain screen
Holding an umbrella to welcome the frost, trekking against the wind
Looking at the misty road in the past, the cold fog rises and covers the stars..."
"Night Will Dawn" sung by Xu Chenyi and "Spring River Flower Moon Night" sung by Cheng Meiqi are songs composed of ancient poems, just like "When Will the Bright Moon Appear" sung by Teresa Teng on Earth.
After listening to the first paragraph, Jiang Ge, as a professional with [Music Theory Knowledge·Proficient Level], commented seriously: "The arrangement is weird, but his pitch, rhythm, breath, vocal resonance, and pronunciation are all well controlled. He dares to sing live, at least he is a singer with attitude."
Chen Gan commented with an amateur's perspective and subjective consciousness: "As long as there is no electronic music, I can accept it."
Jiang Ge was amused and said, "You, the little prince who once dominated the bars and KTV nightclubs in Hangzhou, actually dislike electronic music?"
Chen Gan explained, "That's different. It's okay to add electronic music to songs that create atmosphere, but normal songs should be sung normally."
Suddenly, the style of the song changed.
"The brave man broke the darkness and brought the dawn. He is the messenger of justice, happiness and light..."
Chen Gan leaned back with a look of shock on his face. What the hell is this?
Jiang Ge raised his eyebrows.
In his opinion, this adaptation was a failure. The arrangement of the first part was just a little weird, but it was still listenable. However, this part of R&B was full of flaws. It was interspersed like a narration, and the colorful and flashing lights destroyed the integrity of the song from both visual and auditory aspects. A good ancient style song was turned into a pot of stew.
This is just one point.
The original version of "Night Will Dawn" sounds like the road ahead is unclear but full of variables, "The sun rises in the east mountain and the cold moon hides, don't laugh, we haven't won or lost yet." It means that you and I are both dark horses.
However, the adapted version is full of middle school enthusiasm, which runs counter to the original artistic conception. The lyrics and music of the whole song are separated, lacking the emotion of the heart.
Jiang Ge shook his head gently and said with a very regretful tone: "Alas, the young man has gone astray."
