The villa is rough and needs to be renovated. The delivery date is very close, but Lin Yuan and others still have to live in the original house for a while...
After finishing this matter.
Lin Yuan and the other two found a restaurant nearby to eat.
While eating, Lin Yuan said to Sun Yaohuo: "Senior, I will go to Qizhou Art College for a semester as an exchange student."
Lin Yuan already regarded Sun Yaohuo as a friend, so he would definitely tell Sun Yaohuo about this matter.
"Qizhou?"
Sun Yaohuo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little disappointed.
But thinking that it was only one semester, he felt better: "I wish you a happy semester there. I will visit you in Qizhou when I have time!"
"Um."
Sun Yaohuo said with some worry: "But if you go to Qizhou, will the company also hand over the branch office affairs to you?"
Lin Yuan nodded: "Yes."
Sun Yaohuo's expression changed slightly: "Do you know the situation over there?"
"What's going on?"
Lin Yuan was a little curious.
Sun Yaohuo sighed: "Qizhou's music environment is far inferior to our Qinzhou. After all, our Qinzhou is the hometown of music. The composers there don't have an easy life..."
"Why do you say that?"
Many people say that Qizhou is a hellhole, but Lin Yuan has never quite understood why.
Sun Yaohuo said: "Because Qizhou is completely dominated by film and television dramas, and the gaming industry is also very developed, the music there is basically a customized model built around the film and television drama and gaming ecosystem, and the composition is also based on the client's needs."
"custom made?"
Lin Yuan understood a little.
Different from free creation, customized tracks are all themed creations with many restrictions.
It’s just like Qi Zhou had a movie called "Dragon Dance" before, and he customized an impression song for Xingmang.
There is no way Lin Yuan would send "Red Rose" over there.
This has nothing to do with whether "Red Rose" is good or not!
What they wanted was music that fit the theme of the movie "Dragon Dance of the Fishes", and they even decided on the style of composition.
At that time, many composers on the tenth floor were unable to complete this order, and Lin Yuan was able to complete the order only because he happened to have "Big Fish" in his hands.
No wonder the composers of Xingmang are unwilling to go to Qizhou.
The vast majority of composers still prefer to create freely, choosing what songs to write based on inspiration, rather than being asked to create by the client, as if they are writing songs just for the sake of writing songs!
but…
Lin Yuan, who can customize songs through the system, is not afraid of this kind of thing, because the system's music library is very rich!
"There is another situation."
Sun Yaohuo said helplessly: "Junior, can you speak the Qizhou dialect?"
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Don't the people over there speak Mandarin?"
Isn’t the language of Blue Planet unified
Sun Yaohuo shook his head: "Of course people over there can speak Mandarin. There is no one on Blue Star who can't speak Mandarin. But the problem is that the most mainstream music over there is mostly sung in dialect. I'll sing a few lines for you..."
Sun Yaohuo cleared his throat and sang: "I am the black pineapple, you are the black phoenix and my eyes!"
Lin Yuan: “…”
You may not believe it when I tell you.
Isn’t this the Cantonese dialect of China
The so-called Qizhou dialect is actually Cantonese
Don't take it too seriously.
It is indeed a parallel universe.
After Sun Yaohuo finished singing, he looked at Lin Yuan and said, "Junior brother, you are responsible for both the lyrics and the music, but judging from the nature of the place, I'm afraid you'll need to find some lyricist experts to work with you."
Lin Yuan did not comment.
Sun Yaohuo put on disposable gloves and peeled a shrimp for Lin Yuan: "Of course there are Mandarin songs there. Your song "Big Fish" has received good response there before. Jiang Kui also went there to participate in some activities and sang this song. But in general, Mandarin songs are not very popular. In comparison, Cantonese songs still have the advantage."
Lin Yuan nodded.
If it were just this extent, Qizhou would not be a hell of a pit for him.
"Anyway, when you get there, don't take it too seriously."
Sun Yaohuo reminded, "As a small singer, I don't know much about the situation of the branch, but from what I know, it's still quite troublesome. I heard that they had several lawsuits with Party A because they took on custom songs but couldn't produce works that met Party A's requirements. In the end, they turned to our head office for help and used our trump card to finally solve the problem..."
Lin Yuan nodded again and ate the shrimp.
Sun Yaohuo quickly peeled a few more shrimps, which made Lin Xuan stunned.
Someone had done this for Lin Xuan before.
At that time, the man wanted to pursue Lin Xuan, but he was not as careful as Sun Yaohuo and even forgot to bring disposable gloves...
"Sister, eat something too."
Sun Yaohuo also peeled a few for Lin Xuan.
Seeing his sister's confused look, Sun Yaohuo coughed softly and said, "Well, the main thing is that I like to peel shrimps for people. Yes, I like to peel shrimps for people."
Lin Xuan: “…”
Good habit, please keep it up.
Sun Yaohuo's attention quickly returned to Lin Yuan, and he said in a common hatred: "Anyway, Qizhou is full of Party A. The composers in the company who have been to Qizhou have complained that there are Party A dads everywhere. They don't understand creation at all, but they like to give orders and blindly direct the composers to create. If you encounter a difficult Party A, don't pay attention to it. There is no need to be angry with them. Just treat them as your sons... No, treat them as your grandsons!"
"oh."
Lin Yuan asked in confusion: "Why did Yang Zhongming go to Qizhou before?"
"How should I put it..."
Sun Yaohuo thought for a moment and said, "Although Qizhou is not friendly to composers, Qizhou songs are still very nice to listen to. This is probably due to the nine rhymes and six tones of Qizhou itself, which has more rhymes and tones than normal Mandarin. Father Yang should have gone to learn Cantonese. He, like you, also likes the form of composing with both lyrics and music. In fact, many composers also learn to write lyrics. Don't you composers all think that you know best what lyrics should go with your own songs?"
Party A’s dad
Lin Yuan nodded. Party A was indeed difficult to serve.
Besides, what Sun Yaohuo said is correct.
Composition and lyrics are mostly separate.
But here on Blue Star, many composers like to write lyrics for their own songs.
Their theory is:
No one knows better than them what lyrics should go with their music.
However, many composers' lyrics are not very good. At this time, the company will intervene and assign some professional lyricists to write the lyrics.
There’s nothing the composer can do if your lyrics are not well written.
So it is not easy to write lyrics for your own music.
Lin Yuan can write lyrics for his own songs and has never encountered a situation where the company assigned someone else to write lyrics for him. This is because his lyrics have always been very good and the company's review department can't find any faults at all, and the fit between the lyrics and the music is always very high.
As for what Sun Yaohuo called the Qi language song with nine rhymes and six tones...
This is not nonsense.
As far as Lin Yuan can remember, the Cantonese phonetic system is indeed more complex than Mandarin.
Mandarin Chinese has only four tones.
The standard Cantonese dialect retains the entering tone.
It is divided into 9 tones: Yinping, Yangping, Yinshang, Yangshang, Yinqu, Yangqu, Yinru, Zhongru and Yangru.
There are 19 initial consonants in Cantonese.
The classification pattern basically inherits the five-tone initials classification pattern of "lip, tongue, tooth, jaw, and throat" in the Middle Ages.
There are 59 finals.
Although there are some differences from Middle Chinese, it is still closer to Middle Chinese than Mandarin with 39 finals.
This is also the reason why many people in China think that Cantonese songs are better than Mandarin songs.
Qinzhou is the world of Mandarin songs, so Lin Yuan almost thought that there was no Cantonese in this world.
He really didn't expect that the so-called Qizhou dialect was actually Cantonese.
This is not the original owner’s fault for having too few memories or even being ignorant.
After all, the official language used in Qizhou is still Mandarin, and the states do not have the tradition of using their own dialects when communicating.
Just like that.
Do English, Japanese, Russian and even Korean also exist in this world, but only in the form of dialects
I'll have to study this later.
Lin Yuan’s system contains many songs from his previous lives, all in other languages.
If he had no language foundation, he would have to rewrite the lyrics and change it into Mandarin version. This was what Lin Yuan originally planned.
Some songs can be done this way, for example, "The First Dream" is translated from a Japanese song.
But some songs lose some of their meaning after this change.
After all, the rhymes of some lyrics are very consistent with the music.
