When Lu Chen heard this, his action of sucking noodles paused.
Zhao Ling also looked at Feng Nan in surprise.
But Feng Nan looked very serious.
When Feng Nan is in this state, he often says something shocking! Zhao Ling: "Problem? What problem?"
Feng Nan: “It’s a bit of a confusing question!”
Lu Chen: "Keep talking, Brother Feng."
Feng Nan nodded, suddenly stood up and walked to the whiteboard nearby.
He picked up a pen and started writing on the whiteboard.
“Brother Lu, judging from all the new songs you’ve released since the concert, they can be roughly divided into three styles: love songs, rap, and traditional Chinese style.
If I were to talk about the content of the songs, I would be unable to finish.
Too many! So now there is a problem.
You now have three major theme styles.
Will there be new styles in the future? I don’t know.
But I think it's time to summarize your work.
Brother Lu, you should have felt it.
When singing the song "Dongfengpo" today.
You want to express your thoughts in a musical style.
But you should also have discovered that your musical style of expression is beginning to run counter to your previous idea of not wanting fans to grab the microphone.
Your fans in the live broadcast room are already shouting to continue grabbing the microphone, and they all think this song is so simple. "
Zhao Ling interrupted, "Yes, yes, yes, many people did say that at the time! This song helped them regain their confidence!"
Feng Nan: “Yes, neither I nor Mr. Zhao thought that you would write such a song and come up with a seemingly new Chinese style.
Artists have their own musical ideas to express, which is an almost instinctive behavior and there is nothing wrong with it.
But your original thought was probably just to prevent fans from grabbing the microphone.
But you didn’t expect that these songs would have such a big impact after they were released.
The military has no constant position, and water has no constant shape.
None of us know what will happen in the next second of life. But in my opinion, the path you want to take now seems to have some conflicts with your original idea.
What it all comes down to is some friction in personal style positioning and song planning.
So, it's time to make a plan for your work.
Although you have emphasized that you will not make things difficult just for the sake of making them difficult.
But after all, there is still the variety show "Microphone" to come.
This program and the concert complement each other.
There are some things that we still have to consider.”
At this point, Zhao Ling nodded.
How much benefit "Microphone" brings to concerts is obviously not a question worthy of doubt.
Lu Chen had almost finished eating, so he put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth and said, "Which songs do you think are not suitable for my current mainstream style?"
Feng Nan picked up the pen and wrote: "'Hard to Read Sutra', 'Digital Life', 'Love Until Death' and today's song 'Tentative'. However, this song 'Tentative' is a vocal exercise song, so it's better."
Zhao Ling: "Aren't these just a few difficult representative songs? What about the others? Isn't "Moonlight" also quite difficult?"
Feng Nan: “Actually, I wanted to add Moonlight. After all, these songs are all show-off works.”
Zhao Ling: "Stop wasting time and get to the point!"
Feng Nan: "There is only one key point. My idea is that from now on, we need to separate Lu Ge's mainstream style songs from his show-off songs! Divide them into two major categories!"
As soon as these words came out.
Zhao Ling was stunned: "How can we distinguish this? He sang this alone."
Feng Nan: “It’s not easy to say, but it’s not difficult to say either.
There are three ways to help us achieve effective cutting.
The first method: relying on the variety show "Microphone".
If things go as expected, given Han Youshang's way of doing things, for the sake of ratings, he will definitely make the show more difficult and try his best to invite some big names.
In other words, increasing the difficulty of the program is also equivalent to increasing the difficulty for Lu Ge.
So my first thought was to remove some songs with relatively low difficulty, such as "The Wind Rises" and "Broken Strings", from the list of alternative songs.
Only works with a difficulty level of over five stars such as "Love Until Death" and "Moonlight" are left.
In this way, we can characterize this type of song.
If that's not enough, let Han Yousang prepare a playlist for the show-off challenge, and then sing these songs."
Zhao Ling looked at Lu Chen and said, "If you had known earlier, you shouldn't have taken Digital Life off the shelves."
Lu Chen: "If the old doesn't go, the new won't come."
Zhao Ling thought the same thing: "Fortunately, we now have "Tension"! Then, you continue."
Feng Nan continued: "This is the first point. The second point is that we at Tiancheng Entertainment can also issue a notice to classify the songs. In the future, any song that is purely for the sake of showing off can be put on this list to further deepen the impression of the fans.
As for the third point.
I will contact Mai Shidong and ask him to add a playlist in Lu Ge's personal profile, and then add all these songs to it.
In this way.
From now on, Brother Lu, you can release any songs you want and express any musical expression you want.
Anyway, after the songs are separated.
If they want to do something difficult, you just go for the difficult one, no matter how difficult it is! You don’t have to worry about the style and theme of your songs anymore, or the clutter.”
Zhao Ling heard this and tilted her head, still puzzled: "Is this necessary? Why do I feel like this is unnecessary?"
Lu Chen shook his head: "No, what Brother Feng said makes sense. Doing this is a good thing for me."
As he spoke, he pointed to the three lines of words on the whiteboard: Love Song, Rap, and Chinese Style.
"Guofeng is basically my last musical expression. If I release more songs in the future, I will only work in these three areas. For other areas, if you ask me to write one or two songs to test the waters, it's fine, but if you ask me to dabble in too much, I have no idea and no interest."
"Well, I also think three is enough. Chinese people have the habit of not doing things more than three times. You have three big labels, which is more than enough. Any more is not a good thing."
Feng Nan fully agrees with Lu Chen's point of view.
As music director.
He is well aware that too much is as bad as too little.
Playing all kinds of music may be a good thing for ordinary singers.
But for a top singer.
You must have your own strong personal musical style.
A sad love song by Sun Nan.
Wang Feng's rock and roll, etc.
Lu Chen now has two eye-catching labels: "popular love songs" and "local rap".
Although I don’t know what achievements he will make in the subsequent national style?
But the sudden appearance of "Dong Feng Po" was enough for Feng Nan to believe in Lu Chen unconditionally and without reason.
He can continue to make a brilliant mark in this field.
So! Three big tags.
It is enough for Lu Chen to move towards a higher path.
No need to cover more areas.
So, this is why Feng Nan is eager to discuss this matter with Lu Chen.
As a music director, he has the responsibility and significance to anchor Lu Chen at the critical moment, that is, to position him! After all, the last positioning made Lu Chen walk on the wrong path for twelve years...
Feng Nan didn't say this, but he always kept it in mind.
Lu Chen nodded: "I still support your idea. Although it is just a simple distinction, for me, it feels like removing shackles. Otherwise, I have to consider my musical expression and whether the song is difficult. Being overwhelmed by these factors will always make me uncomfortable.
Moreover, most people in China now think that being able to sing high notes means having good singing skills.
In fact, this is not the case.
Whether you can reasonably distribute the breath in complex rhythm and achieve breath stability.
Also, is it possible to switch seamlessly between true and false voices?
And the characteristics of pronunciation.
Or whether there is use of special timbres such as angry voice and choking voice, etc., are all part of the reflection of singing skills.
All I can say is that singing high notes is the simplest manifestation of singing skills.
But it cannot be denied that this is also the most effective manifestation.
The key is that high notes are mostly used in love songs, especially sad songs, or folk music and rock music.
These are areas I do not wish to touch upon, especially the last two.
So, I have a headache too.
You said that I initially just didn't want the fans to grab the mic.
How come the wind is blowing so hard now? Man proposes, God disposes~"
As he spoke, Lu Chen gave a thumbs up.
"Brother Feng, I see you always have an amazing performance after every concert! It's really awesome!"
Feng Nan scratched his head and chuckled, "You're busy writing songs, so sometimes you don't have enough energy. So as the music director, I have to think more about some things."
Lu Chen nodded, his eyes approving: "But I have to refute you on one point. Chinese style is not as simple as you think. Don't be fooled by "Dong Feng Po". This song is, to some extent, just an expression of musical style and thought."
"Ah? You mean, you have prepared a few difficult Chinese-style songs of this style later?"
"You will know this when the time comes. There is no point in saying so much now. In short, even if it is a traditional Chinese style song, they can't sing many of them!"
After Lu Chen said this, Feng Nan and Zhao Ling looked at each other.
Lu Chen didn’t explain much, and was too lazy to explain.
"I support your idea. It's better to cut it early than late. The earlier you cut it, the easier it will be. To be honest, the more difficult the songs are, the more they are out of the aesthetic range of ordinary people. Because the way they are written will inevitably be out of the realm of pop music."
At this level, Lu Chen himself understands that the song must be difficult to sing, pleasant to the ear, and have personal style.
The difficulty has skyrocketed.
Take today’s song “Tentative” for example.
If it weren't for this opportunity.
Lu Chen really didn't know how to take it out.
First of all, the personal style doesn't match.
It will give fans a sense of tearing.
Fortunately, it was the "excuse" of vocal exercise music, which made it seem somewhat logical.
Therefore, Feng Nan’s proposal came at the right time.
Feng Nan nodded after hearing this: "Yes, that's right, that's the case. Abandoning the original intention of making music just for the sake of difficulty is no different from losing sight of the main goal. Since you agree, I'll work out a specific plan later and we'll do it."
"OK!"
Seeing Feng Nan and Lu Chen, they suddenly reached a tacit understanding.
Zhao Ling standing by was still confused.
But she had a vague feeling.
Feng Nan did this.
Next, Lu Chen’s closed-mic tour and various miscellaneous matters became much clearer.
No need to worry about releasing a song anymore. You have to consider your own musical expression, your fans not being able to grab the microphone, or even those big-name singers not being able to grab the microphone.
After all, so many demands are placed on a song.
Just thinking about it makes me tired.
Now, while Lu Chen is considering his own musical expression, he only needs to worry about whether his fans can grab the microphone.
As for those big-name singers, you can just release other songs to "deal with" them.
Figure this out.
Zhao Ling suddenly understood.
So that's how it is~ It turns out that sometimes, as long as you create a "concept", things will be much easier! Wow, it seems that this music director was not hired in vain! There's something!
There was a brief silence in the room.
Feng Nan glanced at his cell phone and saw that there was still some time left.
Zhao Ling: "Why, do you have anything else to say?"
Feng Nan nodded: "Let's stop talking about the song first. Next, I want to talk to Brother Lu about the next three concerts."
Feng Nan brought up the second topic.
I'm taking a day off today.
I updated it directly during the day.
I'll go get an IV drip later.
Recommend a book to my friend: "Liao Zhai: What bad intentions can a little fox fairy have"
