Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

After sitting down and ordering, several people chatted. Li Zongsheng sat on Yang Dongxu's left and Zhou Yilun sat on his right.

"I heard that you are very satisfied with the song this time. The quality should be very good, right?" Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

"It's really good. It's mainly the collision of traditional elements and pop music. I feel like there were sparks in this collision." Li Zongsheng said with a smile.

It can be said that the people here are lyricists and composers, and they all have their own unique understanding of music. So being able to satisfy Li Zongsheng shows that the quality of this song is really good.

After all, where is the status of the lyricist Fang Shan in the world? Zhou Yilun also gained a lot of points with his identity as a singer-songwriter when he debuted. So he chose this song and invited Fei Yuqing to perform together. Obviously, for

This song is also very satisfying.

"If you have a chance, Director Yang will come to the recording studio to give you some advice." Zhou Yilun took over and said.

Regardless of Yang Dongxu's status as the company boss, his status as a lyricist and composer alone is enough for Zhou Yilun to admire him.

After all, the person in front of me has left various legends in the world. Although the number of lyrics and music compositions has decreased in recent years, it is obviously not that Fang has exhausted his talents.

In recent years, female singers and girl groups have suddenly appeared in South Korea and have become popular throughout Asia. Several of the most popular pop songs were written by Yang Dongxu.

Therefore, when others stop composing, it may be because they have exhausted their talents and want to wash their hands in a golden basin to preserve the reputation they have worked so hard for. Yang Dongxu rarely writes songs because he has no extra energy to focus on it.

After all, for a CEO of a company with tens of billions of dollars, how much does it cost him to write songs by himself? So Yang Dongxu stopped writing songs for anyone a long time ago, and even when he wrote songs, he gave them away for free.

In short, it's just a matter of favors. He no longer uses the No. 1 highest-priced song or anything else to flaunt his worth. He doesn't need such flaunting now.

"Let me know when the time comes. If I happen to be in Yanjing, I can go over and have a look." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

If others had said this, it would have been perfunctory, but Yang Dongxu obviously didn't mean it when he said it. After all, he has so many businesses under his control, and he won't be sure where he will be by then.

Maybe he would be in the United States at that time, so he would fly back from the United States and come to the recording studio to give some advice? This is obviously illogical.

"If you are free that day, we will record it." Zhou Yilun said with a smile.

"Don't do it. I don't want to be scolded by Brother Li. The one who produced the album is the follow-up. You also know what his temper is. If I disrupt your established formation, I probably won't even think about entering the recording studio in the future." Yang Dongxu's expression

He waved his hands exaggeratedly, as if he was scared.

Li Zongsheng next to him smiled and slapped him in the face. Others at the table also laughed. Obviously everyone knew that he was joking.

"This time the album is produced, in addition to the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, it will also focus on the Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian markets. When the time comes, you, the big boss, will have to help say something." Li Zongsheng said.

"It sounds like you don't have to speak?" Yang Dongxu curled his lips and glanced at Li Zongsheng: "It's not that you don't want to make an excuse for yourself, right?"

"You are sowing discord in front of me." Li Zongsheng slapped him again angrily.

In fact, this is also a joke. With Li Zongsheng's position in the company and his status as a shareholder, and the fact that Yang Dongxu, the record department of Hainer, is just a nominal person, he has absolute power over everything. The matter of allocating resources to promote Zhou Yilun's new album is just a word from him.

things.

"Do you think there is still a market for traditional music now?" The food came quickly, and several people chatted while eating. The topic shifted to Fei Yuqing.

"Then you have to look at how you define tradition. In fact, whether traditional or popular music, what really defines their boundaries is not the era but the market.

For example, in my brother's time, his singing style and songs were pop music, not traditional music. Now Yilun's style of music is welcomed by the market, so now it is popular, and other previously popular song patterns have become traditional.

A few years later, new pop music elements will flourish. Or the music elements are still the same, but new singers will sing and be sought after by the market. Then they are pop music, and Yilun's music is classified as pop music.

In traditional music.”

Yang Dongxu pondered for a moment and said.

"That's right, people's favorite thing is to label what they like as the best and most popular, without even realizing that the music is actually still a traditional piece, and even the singing method is traditional." Li Zongsheng nodded.

"So you can't say that my singing style is old-fashioned and old-fashioned. If you want to develop better, you must start to change to the current popular style.

The market is constantly changing. Maybe you haven't completed the transformation yet, but the market has already changed to another kind of music that is popular. And one day you feel that you have no choice but to quit the music industry, and suddenly the songs from many years ago are republished.

Fire.

Just like the current YY music, there are a lot of old songs on it. It is estimated that many old people who have listened to it have forgotten it. Now because a certain netizen has made it his own background music.

It was instantly welcomed by many young people, and then it aroused the memories of some older people. As a result, the song, which the singer himself probably doesn’t care much about now, instantly became popular again.”

What Yang Dongxu said was definitely on target. After all, as someone who has experienced it, he knows very well that some songs may have been forgotten by people, but suddenly because of a certain movie or a certain video, they became popular on the Internet in an instant.

For example, my brother's "Yijianmei" has almost become the standard song of a certain young star. After DouM came out, many old songs that had been buried in the pit became instant hits.

Then the younger brother announced his retirement from the music scene and settled down to retire and enjoy life. But because of Brother Dan's video, "Yijianmei" broke out of China and went to the world.

So you can’t say that traditional music will no longer be popular, it just lacks a chance to become popular again. Once it resonates with everyone again because of an inconspicuous little thing at a certain stage, at that moment the song will become outdated in terms of time.

, instantly became more popular than a pop song.

"That's the truth. I had forgotten some songs myself. But one day someone from the company told me that my song was now in the top ten downloads on YY Music, which made me also

I was stunned for a while and couldn't remember when I had written such a song." Li Zongsheng said with a smile.

"That's because you've written too many classic songs, so it's normal to forget them. If I only rely on a few songs for a living, it's hard for me to forget them. These are all my living expenses." Fei Yuqing, the younger brother, added.

.

"Then for someone like me who has no representative songwriting, will I have to beg on the streets?" Lin Zhiling asked.

Everyone at the table laughed.

"So just stick to yourself. You also said that you have several masterpieces. This proves that your music and your singing are good things that are recognized by the market and you need to stick to it.

Of course, we can’t blindly insist on it. Good things should be retained and new things should be added. As Brother Li said, isn’t your collaboration with Yilun a spark from the collision of traditional music and pop music? Stick to your fundamentals

At the same time, you can try more things in this area.”

"I think so too." The younger brother kept nodding.

"Then you were still hesitant when I invited you." Zhou Yilun made a stab at the side.

"That's not because, like Dong Yang said, I don't want to give up traditional singing."

"I won't take the blame for this." Yang Dongxu waved his hand quickly.

Everyone laughed.

Time passed quickly while talking and laughing.

The meal lasted for nearly two hours. Yang Dongxu and Li Zongsheng had work to discuss, so they took a car and left.

Zhou Yilun, his younger brother, and Lin Chiling went back to the hotel together. The three of them booked the same hotel because they were filming the MV.

"Director Yang looks very kind, and he doesn't seem as scary as the legend says." Lin Zhiling, who was sitting in the car, raised a topic.

"Dr. Yang is a very good person. It's just that the circle you were in contact with before was from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Many people there now hold the attitude that because of the existence of Haina, it has impacted the film and television and record markets of Hong Kong and Taiwan, so

This will lead to the decline of the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

This is actually a way of shirking responsibility. Although many film and television stars and singers have indeed emerged in the mainland in recent years, many of you still go back to Hong Kong to get gold.

And in recent years, whether it’s me, SHE, or other popular singers or groups in Hong Kong and Taiwan, or other artists and stars.

If we look at it in detail, most of them were sponsored by Haina. Other companies spent much more resources than Haina, but only a few people were sponsored?

To put it bluntly, the current market in Hong Kong and Taiwan is supported by those old stars. Many companies are still following the same old path of making money by making parallel films and releasing records. This is basically the end of this era and decline is inevitable."

"Indeed, there are many things that even without the presence of Haina, the audience actually doesn't buy it anymore. For example, what was the status of our TV series in Southeast Asia in the past? What is it now?

Leaving aside Heiner, the market for TV series produced over the past few years has been dwindling year by year. It turns out that a few small experimental productions have become very popular and have attracted many newcomers.

.It’s just that these newcomers feel a little weak to succeed.” The younger brother nodded and said.

"It's not that there is a lack of success, it's that their agency still uses the previous profit model. When they see a new talent becoming popular, they think about making money in various ways, including TV series, commercials and endorsements.

But he never thought about selecting some high-quality works to stabilize his reputation. After this wave of fame is consumed, will there be any new popular TV series launched? Whether it is those endorsements, and commercial performances, I feel that his star power has declined.

Don't invite him.

This resulted in the exposure of these people starting to get lower and lower, and in the end, their own company's resources felt like they were being wasted on them, and they began to train new people, preparing to train a big hit and continue to harvest."

Before he became famous, Zhou Yilun helped write songs for others, and the feeling he wrote was so bad that he couldn't sell it. So from the bottom to the present, he was more concerned about these things in the circle than other newcomers and even old people.

See clearly.

"In the past few years, my company has been urging me to hold concerts, and the number of concerts arranged is more intensive than those of the kings." Fei Yuqing said with a wry smile.

Obviously, the company feels that his fame is almost over, and is preparing to harvest the last wave while he still has some popularity.
