Chapter 362 What a coincidence
Just after eleven o'clock, Liu Ronghua's studio and Douyin released messages across the network, informing everyone that Liu Ronghua's new song will be released on the Lantern Festival.
This time, a different singing mode will be adopted. Liu Ronghua will sing live on Douyin and will be released simultaneously. At that time, a limited collection of signature digital songs will be sold in the world.
For a moment, Liu Ronghua's fans went crazy.
"Ahhhh! King Liu is finally going to release a new song!"
"I knew he would take action to save the Chinese music scene!"
"The ageless male god, post songs online!"
"I can still wait for King Liu's new song!"
“Best New Year’s gift!”
"Looking, looking forward, looking forward!"
...
1 video, 1 hour, with over 10 million likes, and its incomparable appeal is truly amazing.
A netizen's comment came to the nail on the head: "This is the result of Liu Ronghua's accumulation over the past 40 years, not a one-day result, and no one can compare to it."
Indeed, those who can become famous for one year are lucky, those who can become famous for one or two years are good, those who can become famous for thirty or forty years are good, and those who can become famous for thirty or forty years are good, which is character.
Now, Liu Ronghua has also put the release of his new song on Douyin, and the reason is nothing special, one is interaction and the other is traffic.
Whether you watch Douyin or not, or like Douyin, you have to admit that its traffic is strong, and daily active users have exceeded 600 million.
As for other singers in the Chinese music industry, they are all glad: "Fortunately, I didn't choose to release new songs in the New Year!"
Just kidding, even though you know that the other party is a top star, you still have to fight hard. Isn’t that just looking for death?
Then, Huafeng Media Headquarters Building.
Zhang Liming took off his monitor headphones and walked out of the recording studio.
Django clapped his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "Perfect."
The third time is done, the God of Song is the God of Song.
Zhang Liming looked thoughtful, walked to Django and paused for a while, and suddenly said, "Mr. Jiang, I have a question I want to discuss with you."
Django said very simply: "Yes."
Zhang Liming said what he thought about during the recording: "The lyrics and music of this song are retro style, and the arrangement is Chinese style, which is very interesting, but my immature idea is to add some rock elements to the arrangement to create the feeling of retro and rock, the collision between the East and the West."
When Django heard this, he fell into deep thought.
The original version of this song "I Like You" is Chinese style, and there are many versions in addition, such as Miriam Yeung/Hu Xia's rock style, Jacky Cheung/Fei Yuqing's string style, and Chen Huixian's electronic style. Therefore, adding rock elements to the arrangement is not impossible, but how to add and how much to add.
In fact, there are Western musical instruments in the original arrangement, guitar, piano, violin, etc., so you only need to add electric guitar, bass and drum sets to the prelude and interlude.
Luo Hai and Feng Liang were stunned by their tongues, and only Zhang Liming dared to let Django adapt the song.
At this time, after a long period of contemplation, Django finally spoke: "Okay, I will put in another arrangement and two versions will be available for the audience to choose from."
Zhang Liming thought he would refuse because he was worried that a genius like him would not like him and would not make anyone change his works.
However, he was thinking too much. Django was not a person who was deeply indifferent. Any suggestions that were beneficial to songs, movies, and TV series would generally be adopted.
With the blessing of [Master-level Music Theory Knowledge], and it will be done soon without breaking the original arrangement and reorganizing it.
In the afternoon, continue recording the second version.
“It doesn’t feel right.”
"Is it because I sang too similar to the previous version?"
“Some.”
"Then I'll adjust it?"
"In this way, the previous version was 'feeling', then this version was 'feeling' and sings about emotional differences."
"Okay, I'll try."
...
If the arrangement is just changed and there is no difference in singing, then the change will not make much sense.
Zhang Liming in the recording studio hummed a few words, adjusted his mindset and found his feelings, and nodded to indicate that it was OK.
Outside the recording studio, Feng Liang received the signal and played the accompaniment.
Compared with the previous version, the rhythm feels stronger after adding electric guitar, bass and drum sets.
"I can't let go of my sorrow, and I can't let go of my depression. Why is my heart empty..."
...
This time, Zhang Liming changed from the literary and artistic sound to a clear and full, metallic texture and strong penetration sound, as if every breath is the beginning of a story and the end of another story. There is no scene of great joy and sorrow, and it is the hottest emotion.
Django couldn't help but nodded and affirmed that he could be called "God of Songs". It's not unreasonable. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can cooperate more.
After Zhang Liming finished singing this time, several people discussed some of the details and tried to optimize them to the best.
After recording the third time, there is no problem.
"Thank you for your hard work." Django said politely.
"I'm in trouble." Zhang Liming said embarrassedly.
The two versions of emotional expression have different focus, and the final result is two different flavors, both of which sound very nice.
"God of Song, do you have any requirements for release time?" Django asked.
"No." Zhang Liming replied.
"Then we'll release it on the Lantern Festival," said Django.
"Yes, I have no objection." Zhang Liming responded.
"Happy cooperation." Django said with a smile.
"Thank you." Zhang Liming said sincerely.
Django released this song on the Lantern Festival, which is selfish.
Because it is March 1st five days after the Lantern Festival, Mei Manlu's third song was released. You can first use "I Like You" to explore the way. If the listeners accept Cantonese songs, they can go to "Song of the Sunset", and vice versa, then go to "The Road Follows the Lost".
That's right, he tricked Zhang Liming.
Immediately, the official blog of Huafeng Media, Zhang Liming’s personal studio blog and NetEase Cloud Music blog were announced to the public at the same time, and Zhang Liming will release a new song at 12 noon on the Lantern Festival.
As soon as the news came out, Django instantly received more than a dozen WeChat messages. Although they were sent by different people, they almost all mean "Does Zhang Liming want to compete with Liu Ronghua?"
At this moment, he realized that Liu Ronghua also chose to release a new song on the Lantern Festival.
"This is really coincidental..."
It doesn't matter to Django. The song "I Like You" is not for making money, but for experimenting with the acceptance of Cantonese songs. Moreover, this situation can create popularity and topicality, so why not do it?
However, I have to ask Zhang Limingjie if he minds.
So he called and explained the situation. The answer he got was "It doesn't matter, since it has been announced, it won't change."
At this time, the Internet was in full swing, because Zhang Liming and Liu Ronghua released a new song together, which was like returning to that era.
In 1990, Zhang Liming and Liu Ronghua swept major music awards and made a big splash.
Then in 1991, Li Min became famous quickly. He, Zhang Liming and Liu Ronghua were in the limelight at major music awards ceremonies and were known as the "Three Musketeers".
Then in 1992, Guo You appeared again and took off like a rocket.
