The King of Crossover Entertainment.

Chapter 253 0253, the show is about to begin!

Yunfeng came back from morning exercise. As soon as he opened the door and entered the dormitory, Xiao Tianpeng turned over and got up from the bed and said, "I was just about to call you."

Seeing that he looked nervous, Yunfeng asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Tianpeng immediately said, "Yesterday when we were playing at the riverside viewing area, we were secretly photographed by paparazzi."

Yunfeng smiled and said, "You and Mengwei are big stars now. Isn't it normal for paparazzi to secretly take pictures of you?"

Xiao Tianpeng smiled bitterly and said, "This joke is not funny at all. We are not big stars at all."

Then, he realized what was happening and said, "Don't interrupt me. What I meant is that your singing of "Seven Miles of Fragrant Osmanthus" yesterday was filmed and posted online."

Yunfeng said indifferently: "Let it go if you want."

Xiao Tianpeng said hurriedly: "Brother, 'Seven Miles of Fragrance' is a song you haven't released yet. If it spreads online like this, it will affect sales."

Yunfeng thought for a moment and said, "The impact shouldn't be that big."

Xiao Tianpeng said anxiously: "It doesn't matter if it's a big deal or not, it will have an impact. You should quickly issue a statement and have those videos removed from the shelves, or send a lawyer's letter."

Yunfeng felt that this was similar to the last time he confessed his love to Tang Yu with the song "I Like You" at Vienna Restaurant in Pengcheng and was filmed and posted on Bilibili. There was no need to make a fuss, so he said, "Just treat it as a warm-up. I'll go record the song at noon."

If it was a candid shot, and it was at the seaside with the sound of waves and sea breeze, the sound reception would definitely not be very good. In addition, yesterday there was only guitar accompaniment and a cappella singing, so the quality of the song was greatly reduced, and the impact on sales is almost negligible.

Xiao Tianpeng really likes the song "Qilixiang" and believes that it will be a big hit, so when he saw this secretly filmed video while browsing Bilibili and WeChat Moments, he became so anxious. Now that he has calmed down and thinks about it, he did overreact.

Yunfeng knew that he was reminding him with good intentions, so he smiled at him and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Xiao Tianpeng yawned, waved at him and said, "It's only half past eight. I'll take a nap." After that, he fell asleep.

Yunfeng took a shower first, then sent a WeChat message to Chen Cheng.

"Ding dong..."

Almost instantly.

Getting up so early during the May Day holiday?
Yunfeng popped up a WeChat voice chat and after the call was connected, he asked curiously, "Brother Chen, you are not working overtime at the company, are you?"

Chen Cheng replied: "Hey, in our industry, there is no such thing as a holiday. On the contrary, there is more work to do during holidays."

Yunfeng thought about it and realized that there were more announcements during holidays than during normal times. Knowing that Chen Cheng was busy, he stopped talking nonsense and got straight to the point: "Brother Chen, I want to come over to record a song today."

When Chen Cheng saw Yunfeng said he wanted to record a song, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Is it the song you sang at the beach yesterday?"

Yunfeng shook his head and smiled. In the Internet age, information spreads quickly. He replied, "Brother Chen, have you also watched the video online?"

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Well, although the sound quality is a bit poor, I have listened to it several times in a row. I can say that this song is the best love song I have ever heard. Both the lyrics and the music are top-notch."

Yunfeng raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen, for the compliment."

Chen Cheng sighed and continued to talk about business: "However, recently, the Blue Music Group has signed a lot of singers. Except for He Qian and Luo Mu who released songs during this year's New Song Popularity Chart, everyone else released songs after the New Song Popularity Chart ended this year. Therefore, during the May Day holiday, all the recording studios are full."

When Yunfeng heard this, he replied, "Then I'll record it later."

Chen Cheng found the recording studio schedule on the computer and said, "Wait a minute, I'll see if I can squeeze out two hours for you."

Yunfeng thought for a moment and said, "No need, Brother Chen. I'm not in a hurry. Besides, the arrangement is not ready yet."

Recording songs is unpredictable, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Chen Cheng scanned the recording studio schedule and saw that he really couldn't squeeze out the time, so he could only say, "Okay, then I'll get busy first."

Yunfeng hung up the WeChat voice chat and thought, the recording studio is fully booked for the entire May Day holiday, it seems that the business of Zhanlan Music Group has been good recently.

At this moment, he had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't take it to heart. Sometimes, letting things take their course is also a good choice.

immediately.

Yunfeng took out the tablet and opened the music arrangement software.

The song "Seven Miles of Fragrance" uses a very common "uncommon" chord progression, Am-FGC (6451), which means it starts with Am, a minor chord.

The 6451 chord pattern is almost overused in pop music and can be found in many places.

however……

The song "Seven-Li Fragrance" is almost entirely a 6451 loop, so it didn't take much time to come up with the simplified score.

But the problem is that the only impression I have of the arrangement is the string music and the "dengdeng lights, etc." in the prelude.

“Arrangement is a big problem.”

The success of the song "Seven Miles of Fragrance" is due to the arrangement.

Yunfeng tinkered with the music arrangement software for the entire morning, but there was no progress.

“There is still a lot to learn!”

In the end, he could only send a WeChat message to Tang Yu for help.

In fact, Yunfeng has certain abilities in composing music, and his level has reached amateur level.

but……

Arranging music is different from composing music, and there are many more things to consider.

Of course, if it is just an arrangement of guitar + piano + drums, he can do it.

However, the arrangement of the song "Seven Miles of Fragrance" is not simple, and many musical instruments are used.

The original arrangement used a vibraphone for the prelude, with keyboards (synthesizers), bass, guitar, Basic drums, etc. in the middle, and finally the rhythm of a wooden electric guitar, with the keyboard coordinating the main melody, and at the end there was a computer mix plus keyboard simulation of the percussion effects of bells and tripod instruments as the ending sound.

With his current arranging skills, he wouldn't be able to finish it even if he was given a year.

in the afternoon.

Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Piano Building, Piano Room 1250.

"What style of arrangement do you want for the song "Seven Miles of Fragrance"? " Tang Yu was very happy that Yunfeng asked him for help.

Besides, she is from the composition department and is also a disciple of Wu Zhongyu, the domestic arrangement master. Who else can we find?

"What do you think of this lyrical rock style that is fresh, poetic, and has an oriental feel?" Yunfeng expressed his ideas and came up with these in just one morning.

He really wanted to restore the original arrangement of "Seven Miles of Fragrance", but in his previous life he only knew how to listen to songs and knew nothing about music, otherwise he would not be able to remember more things.

Tang Yu pondered and said, "If it's not a pure Chinese style, the prelude can be a combination of yangqin (main) + guitar (auxiliary) + wind chimes (auxiliary), and a synthesizer can be used to make a wind-like sound to create a cool summer feeling..."

Yunfeng listened with great interest and couldn't help but nod in praise.

Professional work should be done by professionals.

About half an hour later, the various musical instruments used to accompany the song "Seven Miles of Fragrance" were determined.

Next, the two of them work together to write the prelude, interlude, and outro based on the personality of the main melody.

Tang Yu played a few bars on the piano, then looked up and asked, "Do you want the main melody to be reproduced, or a variation of the main melody, or a completely new passage?"

Yunfeng took a tablet and simulated a few clips on the music arrangement software before answering, "I think it's all fine, as long as it combines the main melody and makes a good transition from beginning to end."

In terms of arrangement, he still cooperated with Tang Yu.

period.

Because of the existence of "special skills [such as cutting, polishing, polishing, and occupation], when exchanging academic, experience, and skills with peers, the ability to learn, understand, appreciate, and comprehend is doubled", he benefited a lot and his ability to arrange music has improved. The sun gradually fell from the horizon, and the clouds seemed to be ignited, rendering the entire sky red as fire.

An afternoon passed like this.

Although it is only early summer, the temperature in Shanghai is not low today. Fortunately, because the piano room needs to be both soundproof and ventilated, air conditioning and exhaust fans are installed, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable.

"The voices and sentence patterns of this section of auxiliary instruments are still not right. Let me think about how to adjust them." Tang Yu picked up the tablet and simulated it on the arrangement software again.

Auxiliary instruments such as wind chimes, chimes, and synthesizer special effects usually do not take up a large amount of space in the music, and sometimes only require a few notes, but they are also very important, serving as color embellishment and finishing touch.

"How about taking a break first?" Yunfeng looked at the time. He had been busy since lunch.

The arrangement of the song "Seven Miles of Fragrance" is generally almost done, with only some details left to be polished.

Tang Yu kept his eyes on the tablet screen, shook his head slightly, and said, "I already have some ideas, let me modify it and see."

She was worried that if she took a break, the feeling she had just found would be gone.

Yunfeng said nothing more.

A few minutes later.

Tang Yu's slightly frowned brows suddenly relaxed, the corners of his eyes curved downwards, and he said, "Okay!"

As the words fell, the notes jumped.

After listening to it, Yunfeng couldn't help but praise it: "It's very exquisite. It gives people a clear sense of spaciousness and a cool feeling brought by the wind."

Tang Yu smiled and asked, "Is it okay?"

Yunfeng gave a thumbs up and replied, "It's not okay, it's perfect."

Tang Yu was delighted and said, "After trying the instrument tomorrow, we'll see if there's anything else that needs to be modified."

Yunfeng smiled and said, "Let's talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow. Let's go eat first."

Tang Yu really put in a lot of effort and helped a lot today, so he must be rewarded well.

Because Chen Cheng was quite busy, Yunfeng chose to compose the song "Seven Miles of Fragrance" himself.

If you do it yourself, you will have enough food and clothing.

What Shanghai Conservatory of Music has no shortage of is players of various musical instruments, and it also has a recording studio.

the next day.

Yunfeng talked about it in the WeChat group of the Chinese National Musical Instruments Society, and within a few minutes, all the players were equipped with instruments.

The recording went smoothly as well. I finished the arrangement yesterday and hardly made any changes.

The subsequent post-production took another day.

If you do it yourself, you have to go slower.

Good things come to those who wait. After three days of hard work, Yunfeng finally got a song called "Seven-mile Fragrance" that satisfied him very much.

This is also the first relatively complex arrangement he and Tang Yu have collaborated on. It is definitely different from the original song, but the flavor is still the same.

----

Every holiday is so short that it seems like it never started.

There were relatively few talented singers and big-name stars participating in this year's new song popularity chart, so there were relatively fewer topics, and all the topics were focused on He Qian, Luo Mu, and Yun Feng who were also included.

As soon as the May Day holiday was over, singers from various music and entertainment companies began to release new songs to take advantage of the gap in this period.

"Oh my god, it's only been half a day since the normal workday after the holiday, how come more than ten new songs are already on the shelves?"

"One of the Four Heavenly Kings, Zhou Ruilin, the new generation's powerful singer Wang Yuxin, and the versatile singer Tang Zhen..."

"This is incredible, this is incredible, the off-season for releasing songs in previous years is even more competitive than this year's new song popularity chart!"

"I think these singers didn't compete on the new song popularity chart this year, probably to avoid He Qian, and ended up having the same ideas."

"In recent years, there are more and more good singers and good songs, which is a good thing."

……

In just one week, forty-five new songs were released, which is two or three times the number in the same period last year.

Moreover, there are many talented singers and big-name singers.

This has gradually evolved into a competition between music companies and entertainment companies.

Penguin Entertainment released five songs, three of which were in the top ten of the new song sales chart.

Xingyu Music released seven songs, three of which were in the top ten of the new song sales chart.

Huahai Entertainment released four songs, two of which ranked in the top ten of the new song sales chart.

Azulan Music Group released ten songs, one of which ranked in the top ten of the new song sales chart.

Yicai Music Company released six songs, one of which ranked in the top ten of the new song sales chart.

……

This is currently the first-tier music and entertainment company in the country.

"The leader is the leader. With several senior songwriters there, the quality of the songs is guaranteed."

"The strength of Azure Music Group has grown rapidly. I remember that it was just a second-rate music company last year."

"We have He Qian, Yun Feng, a talented man and a beautiful woman, and now there's Luo Mu. I think the current Azure Music Group has the strength to challenge Penguin Entertainment."

"Let me correct you. Yunfeng is not affiliated with the Blue Music Group. We just let them release the songs on our behalf."

"What's the difference? But then again, if Yunfeng and Luomu also release new songs at this time, it will be lively."

……

Just as netizens were busy discussing it.

On May 5th, at noon, Yunfeng and Luomu’s new songs were released at the same time.

“Haha, the show is about to begin!”

“I write the lyrics, compose the music, and sing the songs myself.”

“I didn’t expect the head-on confrontation between the two would come so soon.”

"Opening, opening, whose new song will be better!"

"It's interesting, a tit-for-tat confrontation."

……

The reactions of fans and passers-by were extremely enthusiastic, but the reactions of the two parties involved were different.

Luo Mu seemed quite excited. He felt that the last time "Irresistible Tenderness" lost to "Time Thieves", it was the loss to He Qian rather than Yun Feng, so he had been looking forward to a real fight.

Yunfeng was quite calm. In fact, he didn't pay much attention to who released new songs at the same time. He was more concerned about how much benefit he could generate from this competition, such as how many fans he would gain or how much sales would increase.
