Although it is a bit humorous and self-deprecating, Tu Er's words "the level that makes many lyricists unable to sleep all night" are true in a sense. Many lyricists are indeed a little hit -
By the way, aren’t you, Xianyu, a composer
Why are you stealing the jobs of us lyricists
Why are you so idle? If all songwriters are like you, shouldn't we lyricists retire
Or should we lyricists also learn how to compose music
Do you want to follow the path of being both civil and military like you envy Yu
Not everyone is as talented as you, Xianyu. You should know that even many composers, if the melody needs lyrics, still need the help of long-term lyricists.
But Xianyu doesn’t need it!
Moreover, Xianyu is not the kind of composer who insists on composing lyrics for his own songs even though he is obviously not good at writing lyrics.
His lyrics are even so good that they make many professional lyricists feel inferior!
What's this, "Meeting you in my lifetime has used up all my luck"? How can an average person write this
The key is that Xianyu does this every time.
Every time, his lyrics fit the music very well.
Even from his debut work "Life is like a Summer Flower", he has already started his own famous saying with the sentence "Life is as gorgeous as a summer flower, and death is as quiet and beautiful as an autumn leaf" -
Of course, the second half of the sentence is not included in the lyrics of "Born Like Summer Flowers".
In order to help the audience better understand the artistic conception, Xianyu specially noted the second half of the sentence when he composed the song and wrote the slogan.
And then came the "Red Rose" period.
Xianyu actually wrote the classic lyrics "Those who can't get it are always in turmoil, while those who are favored are fearless."
This line of lyrics is still quoted repeatedly by modern young people, whether they like or dislike the song. It has even become the signature of countless people and a motto that they often say after breaking up due to the intervention of a third party.
This doesn’t even include Xianyu’s lyrics which are less influential but are also very wonderful!
That’s why many lyricists feel depressed.
Isn’t there an old saying, don’t use your interests to challenge my expertise
Xianyu's major is obviously composition, but the ability he showed in writing lyrics can almost destroy the jobs of countless lyricists.
at this time.
For lyricists, the biggest consolation is probably that there are very few composers who are as good at writing lyrics as Xianyu.
And on tribal blogs and major forums.
As everyone paid attention to "This Day, Next Year", the matter gradually developed into a collective discussion of Xianyu's past lyrics.
"If you think about it carefully, the lyrics of every song released by Xianyu are great. For example, the theme of the lyrics of "Easy to Flame and Explode" is something I really like."
"It's really cool to be able to have a conversation across space with just one song and two words."
"Not everyone can do this, otherwise everyone can just write several versions of the lyrics based on the same melody. Only Xianyu can change the lyrics and let everyone download the Qi language version of "Ten Years" again."
"Even Xianyu wouldn't dare to do this often. It's rare that one song and two lyrics can become popular."
"Teacher Tu Er's evaluation has indirectly proved how professional Xianyu's lyrics are."
"… "
The outside world has long been discussing Xianyu's lyric writing talent, and this time it seems like an explosion after a long period of fermentation.
But the most depressed person is not actually the lyricist. After all, there is only one Xianyu, and most composers still need professional lyricists.
However, the musicians who participated in the September season competition were faced with two envious people!
In just a few hours, the download volume of "Same Time, Next Year" exceeded one million, and directly entered the top ten of the season list!
And when the time came the next day.
The unnamed composer who ranked fifth on the season's list woke up happily, feeling that he had slept so well the night before and felt refreshed.
Although his work only ranked fifth, the company's expectation for this song was actually to enter the top ten.
By the fifth, it’s a huge profit.
But when he saw the season ranking, his expression froze instantly.
Why am I sixth
He was stunned for several seconds before he frantically looked for the reason, but three seconds later, the truth was already clear.
The Qi language version of Xianyu's "Ten Years" has been released.
Did this song change its lyrics? Did it change its clothes to "Same Time, Next Year"? It unexpectedly jumped to fourth place overnight, squeezing itself out along with the original fourth place!
"He alone took up two of the top five spots? Are all the audience members stupid and rich?!"
This unknown singer felt like? It was as if Xianyu was passing by with a steamroller? He crushed a bunch of people to death, and Xianyu felt something was wrong, so he reversed the steamroller...
He almost cursed loudly, but his hands did not stop. He quickly clicked on "Same Time Next Year" to listen to it.
After listening? He shut up.
This song... Never mind, I might be the stupid one.
Then, he looked with ill intent at all the songs ranked below "Ten Years"? The unnamed composer smiled with satisfaction.
When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact
The encyclopedia explains that this sentence is usually used to illustrate that when the group suffers a disaster, the individual or part of it often cannot be preserved.
A simple explanation is: Everyone must die.
And who have similar feelings? There are many musicians of the same period as him.
As for Ling Feng who ranked second, he was mentally prepared after listening to the song at night. When he saw the result the next day, he was not overly sad or depressed. He just caught a cold last night and had a slight cold today.
I should have understood it long ago, this is what I envy.
So what if we parachute in
So what if it's just one song and two lyrics
It's still just a killing spree.
It was not until September 14 that "This Day, Next Year" ranked second on the season list with six million downloads, and all the songs in the same period dropped one place at the same time. The bloodbath finally ended.
Behind this bloody massacre is the further deterioration of ichthyophobia in the music industry.
certainly.
Inside Xingmang, there were also a few exclamations from the composers on other floors:
"Is this all right?"
"Using one song and two lyrics, you can take the top two spots at the same time?"
"Who the hell dares to say that Sun Yaohuo can't become popular?"
"Don't say Sun Yaohuo's level is pretty good. Even if he is just a pig, Xianyu can still take him to the sky!"
"That's not the case. I didn't expect Sun Yaohuo to be able to sing in Qi dialect. There aren't many singers in the company who can sing in Qi dialect."
"Why do I feel like Sun Yaohuo is about to fly into the first line?"
"In the same season, they took first and second place. This is enough to make Sun Yaohuo brag about it for years!"
"Before, I was worried about whether the ninth floor could complete the company's tasks. Now, let's think about ourselves. Tears of envy flowed from my mouth."
"… "
Perhaps only Jin Mu, the agent who knew Lin Yuan's strength best, was not surprised by this. He looked at the two songs that ranked first and second on the list and smiled.
There's no better way to come back.
The so-called return of the king, if he does not step on countless corpses, how can he conquer the world
