The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

After sitting down and ordering food, several people started chatting. Li Zongsheng sat on the left of Yang Dongxu, and Zhou Yilun sat on the right.

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

"It's really good. It's mainly the collision of traditional elements and pop music. I feel that this collision sparked." Li Zongsheng said with a smile.

It can be said that those present here are writers and composers, and they all have their own unique understanding of music. So to be able to satisfy Li Zongsheng, the quality of this song can be seen to be really good.

After all, where is the status of the lyricist Fang Shan in the world, and Zhou Yilun also gained a lot of points by virtue of his identity as a singer-songwriter when he debuted. So this song was chosen by him, and Fei Yuqing was invited to come to the show, obviously very satisfied with this song.

"If there is a chance, Director Yang will come to the recording studio to give some pointers." Zhou Yilun took over the conversation and said.

Aside from Yang Dongxu's status as the boss of the company, the status of the songwriter and composer alone is enough for Zhou Yilun to admire.

After all, this person in front of him is an existence who has left various legends in the rivers and lakes. Although the number of lyrics and music composition has decreased in recent years, it is obviously not that Fang Jianglang has exhausted his talents.

Over the past few years in South Korea, female singers and girl groups that have become popular all over Asia have suddenly appeared. Several of the popular pop songs were written by Yang Dongxu.

Therefore, it may be that others are no longer able to create, and they want to wash their hands to preserve the reputation that they have worked hard for. Yang Dongxu seldom writes songs because he doesn't have extra energy to focus on it.

After all, what is the price for the CEO of a tens of billions of companies to write songs by himself? So Yang Dongxu stopped writing songs for anyone a long time ago, even if he wrote songs, he gave them away for free.

In short, it's all about human relationships, and he no longer uses the most expensive songs to advertise his worth, and he doesn't need such an advertisement now.

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

This sentence must be perfunctory if someone else said it, but Yang Dongxu obviously didn't mean it when he said it. After all, with so many businesses in his hands, he is not sure where he will be at that time.

Maybe someone else is in the United States at that time, so why not fly back from the United States and come to the recording studio to give advice? This is obviously illogical.

"Why don't you be free that day, we are recording." Zhou Yilun said with a smile.

"Don't, I don't want to be scolded by Brother Li. You know how the person who made the album is for the follow-up. If I disrupt your established formation, I don't think I will ever enter the recording studio." Yang Dongxu's expression He waved his hands exaggeratedly, as if he was afraid.

Li Zongsheng next to him slapped him with a smile, and the others at the table also laughed, obviously everyone knew he was joking.

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

"It seems that you don't need to talk?" Yang Dongxu pouted and glanced at Li Zongsheng: "It's not that you don't want to make an excuse yourself, right?"

"You are sowing discord in front of your face." Li Zongsheng slapped him angrily.

In fact, this is also a joke. With Li Zongsheng's status in the company and as a shareholder, and the fact that Yang Dongxu, the record department of Haina, is just a name, he has absolute power over everything. He just said a word about giving resources to Yilun Zhou's new album promotion. things.

"Do you think there is still a market for traditional music now?" The food was served 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 it is traditional or pop music, it is not the era but the market that really defines their boundaries.

For example, in my younger brother’s time, his singing style and songs were pop music, not traditional music. Now Yi Lun's style of music is popular in the market, so now he is popular, and other popular song patterns have become traditional.

A few years later, new elements of pop music flourished. In other words, the music elements are still the same, but new singers come to sing and are sought after by the market. Then he is pop music, and Yi Lun's is classified as traditional music. "

Yang Dongxu pondered for a moment and said.

"That's right. What people like most is to label what they like as the best and most popular. They don't even think that this music is actually a traditional song, and even the singing method is traditional." Li Zongsheng nodded.

"So you can't say that the singing style of my brother is outdated. Those who like it are all old people. If you want to develop better, you must start to change to the current fashion.

The market is constantly changing, maybe you haven't completed the transition yet, and the market turns out to be another kind of music that is popular. And one day you feel that you are not good enough to quit the circle, and suddenly the songs from many years ago are dug up and become popular again.

Just like the current YY music, there are many old songs on it, and it is estimated that many old people who have heard it before have forgotten it. Now because a certain netizen made him his own background music.

It was welcomed by many young people in an instant, and then it aroused the memory of some seniors. As a result, it is estimated that the song that the singer himself does not care much about now became popular again in an instant. "

Yang Dongxu's words are definitely on target. After all, as someone who has been there, he knows too well that some songs are probably forgotten by people, but suddenly because of a certain movie or a certain video, it became popular on the Internet in an instant.

For example, my little brother's "Yijianmei" is about to become a standard for a certain young star. After shaking M, many of them have been buried in the pit, and many old songs have become hits in an instant.

Then the little brother announced his withdrawal from the music scene, and he can enjoy his life with peace of mind. As a result, "Yijianmei" rushed out of China and went to the world because of a video of Dange.

So you can't say that the traditional one is not popular anymore, it just lacks a chance to be popular again. Once at a certain stage, because of an inconspicuous little thing, it resonates with everyone again, and the song that is already outdated in terms of age at that moment becomes more popular than a pop song in an instant.

"That's the reason. I've forgotten a few songs myself. Then one day someone from the company told me that that song of mine was now in the top ten downloads on YY Music. I was stunned for a while, and for a long time I didn't remember when I wrote 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. It's hard for me to forget just a few songs like me. This one is my living expenses." Brother Fei Yuqing said .

"Then someone like me who has no representative songs will be begging on the street?" Lin Zhiling missed a sentence.

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 style are good things that have been recognized by the market and you need to persist.

Of course, you can't blindly insist on it. Good things must be kept, and new things must be added. As Brother Li said, isn't your collaboration with Yi Lun a spark of collision between traditional music and pop music? While sticking to your fundamentals, you can try more things in this area. "

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

"Then you were still hesitating when I invited you." Zhou Yilun added a knife to the side.

"Isn't that because, as Director Yang said, I don't want to give up the traditional way of singing?"

"I won't take this responsibility." Yang Dongxu quickly waved his hand.

Everyone laughed.

Talking and laughing time passed quickly.

It took nearly two hours to finish the meal. Yang Dongxu and Li Zongsheng had work to discuss, so they took a car and left.

Zhou Yilun returned to the hotel with his younger brother and Lin Zhiling. The three of them booked a hotel because they were filming the MV.

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

"Mr. Yang is a very good person. It's just that the circle you came into contact with before is from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Many people there now have the attitude that because of the existence of Haina, it will impact the film and television and record markets of Hong Kong and Taiwan, so It will cause 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. But many of you still go back to Hong Kong for gold plating.

And these years, whether it's me, or SHE, or other popular singers or groups in Hong Kong and Taiwan, or other entertainers and stars.

After counting, most of them are held by Heiner. Other companies have squandered far more resources than Haina, but how many people are they able to win?

To put it offensively, the current market in Hong Kong and Taiwan is supported by those old stars. Many companies still follow the same old route of making parallel films and producing records to make money. In this era, decline is inevitable. "

"Indeed, even without Heiner's presence in many things. In fact, the audience has not bought it. For example, what is the status of our TV series in Southeast Asia before, but now?

Leaving Heiner aside, the TV series we have produced over the past few years, the old-fashioned market has been sluggish year by year. Turned to a few tentative small productions that were very popular, and many newcomers came out. It's just that these newcomers feel a little weak in succession. "The little brother nodded and said.

"It's not that the successor is weak, but that their agency is still using the previous profit model. When they see a newcomer becoming popular, they think of making money in various ways, accepting any TV series, commercial performances and endorsements.

But I didn't think about picking out some high-quality works to stabilize my reputation. When this wave of fame is consumed, will there be any new popular TV series launched? Regardless of those endorsements, and commercial performances feel that his star power has declined, so they don't invite him.

As a result, the exposure rate of these people's congresses began to decrease, and even in the end, their own company's resources felt that they were wasted on him, and they began to train new people, preparing to cultivate a big fire to continue harvesting. "

Before he was famous, Zhou Yilun wrote songs for others, and the feeling he wrote was so bad that he couldn't even sell them. So from the bottom to the present, I can see these things in the circle more clearly than other newcomers, even old people.

"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, this is because the company feels that his fame is almost at an end, and is preparing to harvest the last wave while he still has some popularity.
