Rebirth of the Entrepreneurship Era

I was extremely shocked.

He was even thinking that if Shen Lele was born a few years later and joined the Super Girl in five or six years, he wouldn't dare to win the national championship, but Hao Lai would definitely be able to get a relatively high ranking.

After all, in his eyes, there are many people who have become popular in several years of Super Girl, but not many who are really capable.

Too bad it's 1999.

In the Chinese society in 1999, there was basically no possibility of civilian idols.

Those movie and TV stars who are now popular are basically all major students from several top film academies and opera academies.

Among the popular singers now, most of them are from a professional background, or they are talented singers who have been in the market for many years.

For an ordinary person, whether he wants to be a movie star or a popular singer, it is actually very, very difficult.

Before the birth of Supergirl, the entertainment industry was like the ancient Japan without imperial examinations.

In ancient Japan, ordinary civilians had no possibility of being an official at all, and the authority did not provide ordinary people with a ladder to rise.

And Super Girl is the first ladder opened by the entertainment industry to ordinary people, and more and more talent shows later, it is equivalent to more ladders and channels opened by the entertainment industry to ordinary people.

Since then, ordinary people have found a more feasible route to enter the entertainment industry.

In the age of the Internet for all, becoming a celebrity couldn't be easier.

Some people have become opinion leaders sought after by countless people because they smashed a refrigerator;

Some people become Internet celebrities with tens of millions of fans just because they danced a dance;

Some people even became popular all over the Internet because they took a funny short video;

The most interesting thing is that some people moved the model of 998 instead of 5888 or 3888 for TV shopping back then to the Internet. Instead, it turned into a live broadcast platform with an annual income of over 100 million.

With Shen Lele's external conditions and voice conditions, if she is 18 years old, just in 2020, then she may become a girl idol just by taking a few vibrato.

Among other things, her qualifications in all aspects are indeed much stronger than that of the koi sister who sings and breaks the tone.

Xu Yiyang didn't want to let Shen Lele bury her strengths and advantages because she had experienced the era of national idols.

In the 1970s and 1980s, and even in the 1990s, many singers from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia were appreciated by chance through an accidental competition or performance. He really wanted to make a good package for Shen Lele. Does she have the opportunity to magnify her strengths, at least to leave a perfect memory for her youth.

For college students these days, it is not easy to leave a few photos that record their youth, and it is even more difficult to leave a performance video.

Fortunately, Xu Yiyang has video equipment in his hand, and when it comes time to perform, he can use it for Shen Lele, Gu Sijia and the others to record the whole process and leave a good memory.

So, at noon the next day, Xu Yiyang took the time to go out to find several recording studios.

There are not many private recording studios these days, and I finally found one, which is near the Conservatory of Music.

The owner of the recording studio is Wang Yupeng, who used to be a student majoring in recording art at the Conservatory of Music. After graduation, he first worked as a recording engineer for a record company. After earning some money, he opened a recording studio and worked on his own.

Xu Yiyang communicated with him and raised a few demands.

First, I hope that he can find a rock band with his help, and the level of the musicians must pass the test, so that he can remake "BadBoy" into a rock version of the arrangement,

Then record the accompaniment again;

Second, find a few girls who study vocal music from the conservatory of music to record harmony;

Third, in his recording studio, he recorded the accompaniment and harmony.

Eighty to ninety percent of the rock music in mainland China is concentrated in the north of the Yangtze River, so it is really difficult to find a rock band in Zhonghai.

However, there is nothing money can't solve.

With an appearance fee of 5,000 yuan, Zhonghai invited a well-known original rock band in the rock circle.

Girls from the Conservatory of Music are easy to find, as much as two hundred yuan per person.

The cost of recording is not expensive. It is recorded with the highest standard here, and a song is 1500 yuan.

Xu Yiyang didn't make a counter-offer, as long as it can be recorded, he made an appointment with Wang Yupeng, and the band and teacher came over in the evening, and everyone touched the song first.

In the evening, Xu Yiyang took Shen Lele to the recording studio.

The band and the four girls from the conservatory have all arrived.

I heard that it was going to be a new accompaniment for Zhang Huimei's song. Everyone was also very curious, and wanted to know, who is the person who is willing to spend this unjustly money?

Isn't it just singing? The accompaniment of the original version was recorded by top musicians in Taiwan anyway, so why bother to go far?

When they found out that it was a young man who took out the money and brought a beautiful woman over, everyone suddenly realized.

It is estimated that he is a rich and poor girl who wants to pursue a girl who likes music, so he spends a lot of trouble on this kind of thing.

When Xu Yiyang said that he wanted to make a rock version of "BadBoy", several buddies in the band were stunned. The guitarist asked him: "Is the original version not rock enough?"

Xu Yiyang said: "The smell of electronics is too heavy, I want to add heavy metals."

The guitarist asked, "Bro, how much do you weigh?"

Xu Yiyang said: "The arrangement and the sound of the instrumental music should be similar to Joan Jett's style. For example, the metal sound of the guitar should be thick and heavy. fry."

The people in the band paid attention at once.

As soon as you open your mouth, you want joanJett, this is a knowledgeable master!

The drummer said embarrassingly: "Dude, the kind of tone you want, the drum set in the recording studio can't produce the effect, no matter what, you need a set of high-end Tama."

Xu Yiyang asked: "Do you have any?"

The drummer shook his head: "I can't afford..."

Xu Yiyang asked: "Then where is it?"

The drummer said, "I know a piano store that has one, and you can rent it, but the price is relatively expensive, thousands of dollars a day."

"Rent it, and I'll pay for it." Xu Yiyang said: "Today you use this set of drums for recording first, and tomorrow you rent the other set of drums, and you re-record the drum track again."

"Okay!" The drummer nodded without hesitation when he heard how straightforward he was, and said with a smile, "I have long been envious of the high-end Tama set from that piano store. The drum skin alone is as good as other people's drum sets, and the sound is so good that many big names come to Zhonghai for performances and they all rent his set."

The people in the band immediately began to seriously consider the rearrangement of this song.

After discussing for a while, they came up with a general idea, and they said to Xu Yiyang and Shen Lele: "Why don't we try it together first, and let's listen to the characteristics of this lady's voice, and then make fine adjustments according to her characteristics."

Xu Yiyang nodded, and said to Shen Lele: "Then you have a try with them first."

Shen Lele responded, and the guitarist of the band asked her, "Beauty, what key can you sing this song?"

Shen Lele said: "I don't understand music theory either, and I don't know what key it is."

The other party asked in surprise, "Aren't you from the Conservatory?"

"No." Shen Lele said, "We are from China International Studies University."

"That's why." The other party nodded and said, "Then let me put it more simply, can you sing the original key of this song? Do we need to change the key?"

Shen Lele said: "No, I have no problem with the original tune, I can sing it up."

"Really?" The other party said in surprise: "This song is not low."

Shen Lele nodded and said, "I feel like I can handle it while singing."

The guitarist said: "Okay, let's try the original tune first."

The band used a rough version of the arrangement, and first played it with Shen Lele. Shen Lele opened her voice and sang, which immediately surprised everyone present.

Although "Bad Boy" is a popular song, it is not low-key, and the requirements for breath are not low. There are not many singers who can sing well.

But I didn't expect that Shen Lele, who was not a music major, could control this song so well.

This immediately inspired the motivation of the band members to make this song well, so several people immediately got together and began to discuss in detail how this song should be arranged in more detail.

Wang Yupeng, the owner and sound engineer of the recording studio, asked curiously: "Dude, you are from China Overseas, so you recorded this for your school's New Year's Day party?"

Xu Yiyang asked: "Do you know about the party?"

"I know." Wang Yupeng said with a smile: "There is a boy in your school. Last weekend, he brought two people over to record a song. The song "For Whom" was recorded last year to fight the flood."

Xu Yiyang asked puzzledly: "Isn't this song quite popular? It's being covered everywhere, but can't find an accompaniment?"

Wang Yupeng laughed and said, "This kid is not here to record accompaniment, he is here to record vocals for mixing."

Xu Yiyang was even more puzzled: "Recorded in advance? Is this lip-syncing?"

"It's not just fake singing..." Wang Yupeng smiled contemptuously: "This guy doesn't sing very well, and he wants to show his face in school performances, so he spent money to hire a boy who studies vocal music from the Conservatory of Music to help him record a male voice." , but his song is a male and female duet, the female part was not recorded, and he had to sing it live, so he asked the young man from the conservatory to record the male part for him in advance in the accompaniment tape."

"So shameless?" Xu Yiyang was really convinced, he even lip-synced during the school performance, the key is that he specially asked students from the music school to help him lip-sync, as for?

Wang Yupeng said with a smile: "It's not just shameless, it's shameless."

Xu Yiyang asked subconsciously: "What is this person's name?"

"Who knows." Wang Yupeng said, "I didn't ask either."

After finishing speaking, Wang Yupeng hurriedly said again: "Brother, don't talk nonsense when you turn around, or people may come to me."

Xu Yiyang nodded and said, "Of course."

By this time, the band members had already started discussing a prototype.

Because Xu Yiyang needed the effect of this song to be more explosive and wild, they decided to use drums and heavy metal guitar riffs for the rhythm at the beginning, imitating the hard rock style of the well-known band AC/DC to a certain extent.

This kind of prelude is straightforward, and it can bring up the atmosphere and rhythm as soon as it comes up.

Then they began to discuss in-depth, such as the introductory bars, when to enter the bass, when to enter the rhythm guitar, when to sing the first line of Shen Lele, how to change the rhythm of the chorus to improve the atmosphere, how to write the harmony, How to edit and when to enter.

Xu Yiyang didn't understand these things, so he simply left it to professionals to solve them.

Soon, they have released the first version.

The musicians cooperated with each other, and then called Shen Lele over to sing along again.

The instrument configuration of the band is two guitarists, one bass player, one keyboard player and one drummer, and the feeling came out all at once. .

Xu Yiyang felt that the style of this arrangement was already 70% or 80% similar to that of Joan Jett.

Xu Yiyang could already imagine how explosive this song would be if it were put on the stage of China Overseas Gala!
