Chinese entertainment for engineering students

"Little man, I miss you." Wang Fei's voice was sticky and no longer ethereal.

"Well, I miss you too, come back and stay with me for two days." Wang Xu's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but express what was on his mind.

"Hehe, okay, I bought a weekend ticket and have no luggage. I'll send you the flight number on my pager later." Wang Fei was in a very happy mood. Although the result was the same as someone inviting her, her mood was very different.

"We have a clear understanding of each other, don't you use that card?" Wang Xu was overjoyed, and sure enough he was running in both directions.

"I told you, Zhuo Ren." Wang Fei's voice became even thicker.

"Damn it, go back and do it again." Wang Xu said helplessly, holding his forehead, this damn goblin.

"Get out of here," Wang Fei scolded angrily.

"Ha ha"

"Ha ha"

The two laughed like fools for a while before starting to talk about business. Xiangjiang's first single album has been on the market for some time, and the sales volume is considerable. The social response was even more positive, with all three songs charting, ranking first, third and seventh respectively.

The only unexpected thing is that the Mandarin version sold better than the Cantonese version. It is a pity that the Mandarin version was not sent to the charts, otherwise it might even dominate the charts, so it can only be seen on the sales charts.

At that time, we decided on this strategy because we were afraid that the left hand would beat the right hand. Unexpectedly, the sales volume was unexpectedly good, and we missed the opportunity to dominate the charts. The company analyzed the reasons. On the one hand, Wang Fei's singing voice has indeed improved. Her style has changed drastically and she is catchy at the same time, and her singing popularity has also been maintained very well.

On the other hand, there is a misunderstanding of Mandarin discs. Although Cantonese is now the mainstream, Mandarin still has a die-hard audience. Those people are at the age with the strongest purchasing power, so the price of single discs is a minor issue. .

In this era, Xiangjiang is actually not that repellent to Mandarin songs. Many older generations grew up listening to Mandarin songs, so the audience is still quite large. The current age and strength of this group of people are the backbone of Hong Kong's economy. They are not so sensitive to prices and do not have that much time to listen to a CD over and over again. They are very receptive to single CDs.

In fact, Cantonese songs have only become popular in the past twenty years. Here I have to talk about Xu Guanjie. Although he is not the only one to advocate it, no one can object to saying that he is a banner for the rise of Cantonese songs.

It's a pity that he became famous too early, and most of his songs were in Cantonese, so his reputation on the Internet was not apparent in later generations.

However, after the 21st century, Xiangjiang has become a little disgusted and even hates Mandarin songs. Sales of Mandarin songs in Xiangjiang are dismal, but if Xiangjiang singers want to become popular, they must release Mandarin songs, which makes it very contradictory and embarrassing.

However, the way of selling songs has also changed at that time. Those who like Mandarin songs can naturally buy them on mainland websites, so everyone can play their own way.

Many of the causes of chaos in Xiangjiang in later generations actually come from the current era. Before the departure of the corrupt state, they habitually started the troublemaker mode. Various policies just for the purpose of causing chaos emerged one after another. Among them, the most harmful one was the restructuring of education. Of course, So does Wanwan.

About 20 years later, the children educated by this generation are really not focused. Mainland China's top leaders can actually see clearly. When the Hong Kong and Bay policies were introduced, there were reports in this regard. It's a pity that there are too few places where it can really have an impact. It can be said that it is too busy to take care of itself, which is why it left such a mess.

Two weeks after the single album is sold, Xinyibao will reduce the intensity of the single album. It will start to chart and sell the complete album. "I Do" will be released as the main song to chart, and "The Most Romantic Thing" will be released to the charts. As the second main character.

The achievement that makes Wang Xu happier is that the song "Youth" successfully entered the list and ranked third. This shows that this kind of Internet celebrity song in the 21st century still has an audience in this era, and it can still be received by countless audiences. Few good reviews.

In particular, a professional music critic from the Xiangjiang music magazine Music Bus made a separate review of this song and published an article, which mainly sorted out the various musical elements in this song and gave quite innovative experiments. Except for the somewhat weak lyrics, other parts of the work have received quite high praise.

Especially the saxophone solo, which was optimized by Wang Xu based on the version compiled by Zhou Di and others. Wang Xu also liked the saxophone solo very much. Wang Xu just changed from the original alto saxophone to the soprano saxophone. This makes the playful and cheerful liveliness well reflected.

At that time, Wang Xu was very careful when arranging. After all, it was the first time. In addition to the arranged version in his memory, Wang Xu also referred to many later practices and made many attempts.

In fact, if you pay attention to the music scene for a long time, you will find that the changes in arrangement have gradually become more complicated with the development of the times. The older the popular music, the simpler the soundtrack and arrangement are, and many of them only have one or two musical instruments for accompaniment.

For example, the combination of violin and guitar in early country music, later the three-piece or four-piece combination of rock music, the three-four piece combination of jazz, and later the introduction of symphonic instruments and various ethnic instruments into pop music, and the arrangement became more and more sophisticated. The more complex it becomes, the richer the orchestration becomes.

This is the development trend of pop music as a whole. On the one hand, it is the whims of generations of masters in pop music. There are always some awesome figures who will make changes early and become industry leaders, such as Michael Jackson. , his rock soundtrack has completely transcended the concept of a rock band.

As for the Chinese pop music scene, of course it was Fatty Zhou later. That guy’s talent really had the power to overwhelm an era. Even the later rise of hip-hop rap in Mainland China, it cannot but be said that he played a decisive role.

Although Wang Xu has not copied his songs, the arrangers have copied his concepts. With such a long-haired sheep placed there, it would be unfair to be a time-traveler unless he died.

The second aspect is the development of industry. The maturity of various track synthesis technologies has made experimentation and recording easier. Even the rise of electronic music is simply a product of technology.

From the 1990s to the 21st century, the emergence of various music editing software, various music libraries, voice libraries, and rhythm libraries allowed arrangers to easily expand their imagination without having to master so many instruments. Easily synthesize demos to try. This technological advancement has greatly promoted the development of arrangers.

Listening to some ancient songs on the Internet in later generations often feels thin. In addition to the recording quality, the lack of orchestration and arrangement accounts for the largest proportion.

Wang Xu's phone call with Wang Fei lasted a bit long today, and Wang Fei's phone bill was probably going to go through the roof again.

Although he knew that she would come back to see him in a few days, the old man still couldn't help but want to say a few more words, just to hear more of her numbing voice.

When I come back this time, I must sing out the song "Itch" and let Wang Fei sing it to me.
