The weather in May has turned warmer.
"The Prince of Tennis", which has been updated for a while, has gradually stabilized in popularity, and Shadow's fan following has still exceeded 10 million, making him a cutting-edge cartoonist in the comics circle!
This day.
Lin Yuan came to the company and found someone looking for him. This person was Zhao Jue, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. She was waiting in her office.
Corporate transformation.
Not only Lao Zhou but also Zhao Jue got promoted.
In the past, Zhao Jue led artists from the singer department.
And now, the artists in the company's film and television department are also led by Zhao Jue, or to be more precise, by the agents under Zhao Jue.
Zhao Jue is still the company's well-deserved chief agent.
Gu Dong knew that Zhao Jue and Lin Yuan had a very good relationship, and he also knew that Zhao Jue's position was higher than Lin Yuan's, so when Zhao Jue came to see Lin Yuan, Gu Dong would not let anyone wait outside.
"Sister Zhao."
Lin Yuan spoke.
“Here I come.”
Seeing Lin Yuan appear in the office, Zhao Jue showed a gentle smile on his face: "If you don't show up again, I'm going to call you."
Lin Yuan asked: "What's the matter?"
Zhao Jue still smiled: "Are there any songs recently?"
"… have."
Lin Yuan thought about it and replied.
Not yet, but he can customize it with the system. If Zhao Jue asks, Lin Yuan is not going to refuse.
"That's right."
Zhao Jue said, "Recently, the contract of a first-line singer from Brilliant Entertainment expired. He has not renewed his contract with his former company yet. I guess he has some ideas. So many companies are trying to get him. I also want to sign him... You may be familiar with this singer."
"who?"
"Ten thousand years old... cough, Chen Zhiyu." Zhao Jue said with a strange look on his face.
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he had a general impression.
This Chen Zhiyu is indeed a brilliant singer, and he has been suppressed by Lin Yuan several times on the season charts.
Later he went to Qi Province and had no more contact with the other party.
"Sister Zhao wants to?"
"Give him a song."
Zhao Jue's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "When the media mentions Chen Zhiyu now, they like to describe him as the eternal runner-up. Although this has almost formed his personality, he must still want to be the first..."
Lin Yuan understood: "Let me help him get first place?"
Zhao Jue smiled and said, "That's what I mean. Apart from Father Qu, I can't think of anyone else in the company who can help Chen Zhiyu take first place."
Lin Yuan understood.
Zhao Jue sighed and said, "You know the company's current situation. The competition in the season rankings has become more intense, so the higher-ups really hope that the company can show up on the season rankings. If Chen Zhiyu joins our company and takes first place again, I think there is no better way than this."
"oh."
Lin Yuan said: "I'll send the song to you later."
This matter was not very difficult for Lin Yuan.
Zhao Jue was surprised: "Look back? Is the song you have suitable for him?"
"Um."
Lin Yuan answered this way, but in fact he had an idea tailored for Chen Zhiyu in his mind.
He has accumulated rich customization experience in Qi Province.
The only regret is that Lin Yuan originally planned to give the next song to senior Sun Yaohuo. Senior Sun Yaohuo helped Lin Yuan a lot, so Lin Yuan naturally wanted to help senior Sun Yaohuo.
Since we are going to sign Chen Zhiyu now, Senior Sun Yaohuo should postpone it to next time.
…
After Zhao Jue left, Lin Yuan turned on the computer and started listening to Chen Zhiyu's songs.
Lin Yuan was not particularly familiar with Chen Zhiyu.
If you want to tailor a song for Chen Zhiyu, you must understand Chen Zhiyu's style.
"Rhythm and blues..."
This is the so-called R&B style.
This is a musical form that combines jazz, gospel and blues.
For example, this song called "Glory".
It strikes the listeners' eardrums again and again with its fresh and strong sense of rhythm and repetitive phrases, and with its echoing tunes and rhythms, it stirs up the "beating" rhythm in the listeners' hearts.
"The chord progression should be consistent..."
"The vocals and the instruments complement each other..."
“After the singer sings a few notes, the music part or harmony, the singer has to repeat and sing those notes again, like a question and answer, or to create an effect of a yes-man or even a self-questioning and self-answering…”
These are the characteristics of Chen Zhiyu.
"The golden range is around F4 to C5, and the bass can go down to Eb2 for pronunciation, the quality is acceptable."
"Early songs all had good chest voice performance in the E5 range."
"Weak mixing ability is average, there is a whistle here... No need to refer to it..."
After listening to dozens of Chen Zhiyu's songs in a row, Lin Yuan gradually had a direction in his heart:
"System, customize songs."
System: "The music library is now open."
Yes, now when Lin Yuan customizes a song, he has to decide which one he wants, so Lin Yuan carefully considers Chen Zhiyu's style.
"Want to follow his previous style exactly?"
Lin Yuan pondered this question in his heart.
He felt that there were many songs that could be sung for Chen Zhiyu, but he also thought that perhaps he could give Chen Zhiyu something different.
Audiences need to be surprised.
Chen Zhiyu is a mature singer. His fans and listeners are already very familiar with his style. If the songs I make for him still follow Chen Zhiyu's previous style, will it lack surprises
Last time in Qi Province, when Shuiyun customized a song, didn’t she ask for some changes
Perhaps all famous singers hope that their works can undergo some changes while maintaining their own characteristics.
"Shuiyun sings more slow songs, so I gave her a fast song..."
"As for Chen Zhiyu, why not consider giving him some rock music..."
Music is not fixed and uniform.
A single music style is certainly authentic, but after listening to it too much, it is inevitable that you want to change your taste, so now more and more songs like to try to combine different styles.
Seeking change is what everyone is doing.
Besides, according to Sister Zhao, Chen Zhiyu doesn't want to be second anymore...
Lin Yuan didn't want to be second either.
The first one earns the most money, so you must try your best to be the first.
Moreover, after the system music library is opened, it would be a shame to this huge music library if the song I carefully selected did not take first place.
"If you want change..."
While listening to the songs in the music library, Lin Yuan thought about this question and came up with a clearer direction: "Rhythm and blues, with a little rock and roll, a little more relaxed, and preferably with some rap elements..."
Got it!
Lin Yuan thought of a song. This song was of good quality and suitable for Chen Zhiyu's vocal range. There was no conflict in style. It also had a relaxed sense of change and a slightly rock feel:
“Custom song, ‘Change Yourself’.”
