Just when Hao Yun had just uploaded the recorded song, in a high-end apartment in Shangjing, a handsome young man in his mid-twenties was sitting in front of the piano and practicing with concentration.
If there are loyal viewers of "Who is the King of Singer" here, they will be excited to recognize his identity.
This person is none other than Ling Yanchuan, the popular contestant of "Who is the King of Singer"!
I have to admit that he is really good at playing the piano.
However, no matter how well he plays the piano and no matter how dazzling the halo on his head is, it is of no use.
Just three days ago, Huazhong Satellite TV's "Who is the King of Singer" competition came to an end. His opponent Chen Yang conquered the audience and the judges with an original Chinese pop song with piano accompaniment, and won the overall championship. title.
However, he was highly anticipated by countless people, but in the end he missed out on the championship in a huge upset and left the field with regret as the runner-up.
It is said that outside the stadium that day, the fans standing at the door to support him cried.
Ling Yanchuan himself was the same.
To say who is the most aggrieved, it is definitely himself.
As an all-round singer who is proficient in nearly ten musical instruments such as piano, guitar, and guzheng, he allows himself to lose in singing skills and lyrics, and he will never allow himself to lose in music.
For this competition, he specially prepared a carefully designed piece, integrating the characteristics of the guzheng into the piano, and interpreting the beauty of Chinese classical music in a pop style.
As a veteran technological power and a winner in the era of the People's Federation, although Xia's entertainment industry started late and its popular culture is slightly inferior to that of the other side of the sea, after all, the national strength and national self-confidence are there. With the increase of policy support in various industries, With the success, there has been a faint trend of overtaking in recent years.
Especially in the area of music, more and more original Chinese-style tracks and albums have appeared on the international best-selling list. Chinese-style pop music has gradually moved from a niche hobby to a popular one. The judges of music competitions held by various satellite TV are also very happy to give Award for such a song.
After completing the composition of this song, Ling Yanchuan felt that he was almost stable.
However, he did not expect that the final result was beyond his expectation.
Not only did he lose the game, he also lost at what he was best at.
He still remembers the judges’ comments on his song during the review session of the finals.
"There's nothing much to say about the lyrics, so let's talk about the music. I can tell that you used the traditional pentatonic scale 'Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu' in the creation of the music, and almost didn't use it. The two notes are 4 and 7. Objectively speaking, this is the most satisfactory way of creation, but I must point out that the champion should not be standard.”
The other judge nodded in agreement.
"I agree with Teacher Yang Jie's point of view. Although you tried to use piano music to interpret the style of Chinese classical instruments, and you did create that kind of atmosphere between mountains and rivers, I still have to say... is it a little too dogmatic?"
The third judge’s view was even more straightforward.
even,**.
"Compared to another player, you may need to strengthen your composition skills."
Turning the pen in his hand impatiently, the judge slapped down the lamp in his hand.
Three lights go out!
He lost the finals by a huge margin!
In fact, if it was his own lack of strength, then that would be fine. He asked himself that he was not the kind of person who couldn't afford to lose.
But the problem is that the song his opponent played and sang wasn't very good either
Ling Yanchuan admitted that the judges were indeed telling the truth, and that when composing the music, he did deliberately avoid notes 4 and 7, which are more difficult to play with a Chinese flavor on the piano, but this was not a particularly sinful thing in the first place.
Besides, Chen Yang’s songs also avoid 4 and 7, right
How come the problem no longer exists with him
Is it just because he is a contracted artist of Mango Media
In short, the situation at that time was that the judges on the scene seemed to turn a blind eye and ignored Chen Yang's problems. Instead, they praised some things that could not be called advantages.
In the case where the difference in listening sense is not obvious, the audience obviously cannot hear so many professional twists and turns, and they just nod along with the trend and agree with it unconsciously.
Occasionally, one or two knowledgeable fans wanted to speak up for him and denounce the unfairness of the show crew, but they were suppressed by the strong public relations capabilities of Mango Media behind Chen Yang.
Obviously, what the program team wants is this kind of popular program effect.
This made him feel like a clown who was being manipulated while working hard to prepare for the game.
Seeing Ling Yanchuan's hand move away from the piano, his manager immediately stepped forward and handed over the mineral water.
"Come and drink some water."
Ling Yanchuan didn't say anything, just took the water.
Looking at his taciturn partner, the agent sighed and said with an embarrassed expression.
"About the competition... I'm really sorry. We have also communicated with the program team here, but the strength behind the other party is really too strong. It's pretty good for you to get the runner-up."
"I know, and you don't have to be sorry. I never blamed you," Ling Yanchuan took a sip of water and said with a self-deprecating smile, "After all, I had my own reasons for losing the game."
If his singing can conquer all the audience.
Even if they want to play tricks in the selection process, they have to weigh the negative impact of shooting themselves in the foot.
The key to the problem is that he is not much better than his opponent.
Perhaps out of a hundred spectators in the audience, fifty people were cheering for his opponent, and only fifty-one or two were cheering for him.
Under such circumstances, whether it is for the effect of the program or the strength of Mango Media, the program team of "Who is the King of Singer" will have its own considerations.
The agent sighed.
"You should rest for a while. You have been practicing all day."
Ling Yanchuan nodded and returned the water bottle to his agent.
In fact, when I call it a break, I just mean not playing the piano.
He himself has no other hobbies. Whenever he has free time, he basically browses Yinke.com, listens to other musicians' music, and looks for inspiration.
Checking the hot new song list at least once a day is considered a gay thing for him.
As usual, he logged in to his account, opened the website, and started scanning the rankings today.
But unfortunately, maybe today was not a good harvest day. He listened to several songs from the first to the bottom of the list, but he still couldn't find a song that moved his heart.
Until the 10th song, when he saw the title of the song, he was slightly stunned.
"Fireworks get cold easily?"
Judging from the name, it's quite retro, so I guess it's probably a Chinese song.
It's just that he has never met the user who uploaded this song.
Moreover, it is actually a pure piano version!
"I don't know where the clouds are? It's interesting. Then let me listen to how unfathomable your music is..."
With a faint smile, Ling Yanchuan clicked in with a hint of curiosity.
However, when the prelude just started playing, he was completely attracted by the incredible melody.
"This is... the melody of a national song?"
Ling Yanchuan whispered in his mouth.
"impossible… "
"How can this be!"
Yes, it’s just unbelievable!
Apart from this idiom, he could not find a suitable word to describe his mood at the moment.
As for the main melody, there are two sounds of fa in the first two paragraphs, and in the third measure there is a long three-beat xi!
These two notes are almost contrary to the atmosphere it hopes to create!
But the strange thing is that Ling Yanchuan found that instead of feeling any violation, he was deeply attracted by the composer's uninhibited and unrestrained style.
Especially the unpredictable melody!
For him, who deliberately avoided the two sounds 4 and 7 in order to create a Chinese-style atmosphere, it was like a bolt from the blue—
Oh no, it was the opening lightning strike!
After listening to the entire song completely, as a professional musician, he was completely immersed in it.
Even though there were no lyrics, he still heard a hint of sadness in it.
"It's simply invincible..."
He couldn't help mumbling, and he quickly glanced at the comment section of the song.
Apparently, he is not the only one with the ability to appreciate things.
He was not the only one who was shocked!
Less than a day after this song was uploaded, it has already reached the top ten of the Independent Music Producers New Songs Chart, and has shown an unstoppable trend to reach the top.
This song was played repeatedly in his ears for more than a dozen times. The more Ling Yanchuan listened, the more excited he became.
Not only because the song itself shocked him so much, but also because of its groundbreaking and even deviant composition style, which simply opened the door to a new world in his heart.
It turns out that the two sounds Bian Zheng and Bian Gong can be used in this way in Western music!
It turns out that outside the framework of the traditional pentatonic scale of 'Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu', one can also create such a national style pop song!
If I had used this song to compete before, and then matched it with my own lyrics...
Ling Yanchuan held his breath involuntarily, hating the creator for not publishing it a few days earlier, and hating himself for not hearing the song earlier.
but…
It's not too late.
Although the competition is over, his music career still has a long way to go.
His intuition told him that this song definitely had the potential to become a hit!
As long as he performs stably when writing lyrics, he is more than 90% sure that he can make this song a hit!
Just do what comes to mind.
Without any hesitation, Ling Yanchuan clicked on the creator's avatar and entered his personal homepage.
Seeing that the registration time was three days ago, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
What a guy, he’s actually a newcomer!
He really found a treasure!
No new music creator would refuse an invitation from a musician who is barely a popular singer like him, especially when the musician offers to write lyrics for his songs for free...
After considering his words, Ling Yanchuan politely sent a private message to express his demands.
[Hello, I am Ling Yanchuan, a music trainee who has been practicing for three and a half years. My personal information is verified on the homepage. I would like to ask if you can authorize me to write the lyrics for "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" that you published on the Yinke.com platform?]
The wording was quite polite.
However, he waited for a long time and did not receive a reply.
I guess it's not online yet
Glancing at the getting-dark sky outside the window, Ling Yanchuan thought for a while and felt that it might be a bit too abrupt to say these words, so he edited another sentence and added it.
[If it is convenient, we can also chat in person.]
Nodding with satisfaction, he clicked the send button.
No one would refuse such an offer.
After all, he is still a big star—
[System prompt: Message sending failed.]
[System prompt: You have been blocked by the other party.]
Staring at the screen blankly, everyone in Ling Yanchuan was dumbfounded.
