Chapter 36: We can’t let him quit the music industry so easily!
When the piano and mixed prelude began, the super topic was in the middle of a crazy discussion.
"Tomorrow's Superstar" Super Topic: "Han Zhou sings pretty well, why does he want to quit the circle?"
"Hey, with so many shows having passed, how many of those once-popular contestants are still in the music industry? That's normal."
"Pity."
But this is not the case in other super topic circles.
An Lan's Super Topic: "No way, the songwriter for goddess An Lan is going to quit the circle?"
"No, I'm still waiting for him to help An Lan become a queen!"
There are also people who don’t understand the importance of songwriters and ask: “Why do we have to work with him? If we work with someone else, the goddess’s singing voice won’t become worse.”
Someone replied: "Because Han Zhou and An Lan have never failed in their collaboration, they are a match made in heaven. Some famous singers and first-tier singers have never found a songwriter who can collaborate with them in their entire lives. Such talented people are even rarer than first-tier singers!"
And Han Zhou’s super topic was filled with question marks: “????”
"Han Zhou wants to run away~!"
"Haha, you believe what a psychopath says? I don't believe it."
"What if Han Zhou really runs away?"
"He brought me into this psychopathic circle and then ran away? That won't do!"
"Keep him here and find a way to let him continue singing!"
At this time, Han Zhou has already started singing:
“When I was little, I often heard my mother say
You won't meet the girl in the fairy tale when you grow up
And I still firmly believe that this world is warm
It wasn’t until I experienced the past that I realized it was all my imagination…”
Can't say it doesn't sound good, can only say it sounds good!
Many audience members at the scene couldn't help but want to scream. If the director team hadn't repeatedly emphasized before filming that they should hold back from screaming during the singing, I'm afraid many people would have screamed.
The style of this song and the content of the lyrics are completely contrary to "Listen to Mom".
In this song, the mother is more like someone who has experienced it, telling young people how the world is.
Not only do young people not believe it, they also think they are right.
It wasn't until I actually experienced it that I realized how wrong I was.
Han Zhou was on the stage, his voice was very deep:
"Childhood dreams are ridiculous
Like a dark cloud hiding
The world outside is dark
I'm still a campfire guy
As we were talking, the starry sky suddenly turned black.
I, who symbolizes the bonfire, will also shrink
I once looked forward to the stars, so I lived firmly
Listen carefully to the following story~"
The melody can be said to be excellent, but the arrangement is ridiculously simple.
But the added bonus of Han Zhou's 'thickness and excellence' of his voice makes this song sound very rich.
Han Zhou on the stage sang while silently looking at the audience, following the simple melody.
"Like a dark cloud hiding
The world outside is dark
I'm still a campfire guy
This time I bid farewell to my hometown and embark on my wandering
Ignorance and long-lost ideals are waiting ahead
My mother's words fill my dreams and I won't be confused again
Now I am carrying my faith and moving away from my hometown..."
The sound of this song is not depressing, but the lyrics are extremely depressing.
Anyone who hears this will feel strange.
In just a few simple paragraphs, everything that someone who has experienced it can tell young people is described clearly.
People who have experienced it also tell young people to stick to their ideals, but real life tells young people that it is difficult to stick to ideals.
Although those who have experienced it know that love can be encountered but not sought after, they all believe that dreams are important.
But young people have demonstrated through their actions that any dream is a bit outrageous and difficult to achieve.
"Childhood dreams are ridiculous
Just like the dark clouds hiding~"
"As they were talking, the starry sky suddenly turned black.
I, who symbolizes the bonfire, will also shrink back..."
"Childhood dreams are ridiculous
Like a dark cloud hiding
The world outside is dark
And I’m still a bonfire person…”
When Han Zhou finished singing, Chen Feng didn't even react.
When the simple arrangement ended, the audience thought it sounded good and cheered.
But the mentors on the stage didn't say anything.
Especially Chen Feng, he was even a little angry.
Han Zhou bowed: "Thank you."
Chen Feng: "Han Zhou, are you really ready to quit this circle?"
Han Zhou nodded: "Yes."
Chen Feng's anger was already evident on his face: "Even so, don't you want to leave your best self on this stage?"
"Don't you want to?"
"Yes, I admit that you are very talented, very gifted, and very powerful."
"The melody and lyrics of your song are pretty good for a talent show."
"But the arrangement of your song is too good for you. It's too simple and even ridiculously sloppy!"
"It's like a novice piano player, a novice guitar player, and a novice drum player saw a song and then playfully made an arrangement using the chords that the novice player had just learned."
"This is not an arrangement, this is not even a beat!" (beat, roughly equal to → beat, tempo.)
"The beat of the interlude in your song 'Sunshine, Rainbow, Little White Horse' is more than ten times more complicated than the arrangement of this song!"
"Can I understand that you are dealing with things and are ready to end the night hastily?"
Liu Yiling stopped Chen Feng: "Don't get excited, let's see what he says."
Han Zhou raised the microphone and said: "Arranging music is a very simple thing for me. I can make it fancy in just ten minutes or half an hour."
“But this song is beautiful because it is simple.”
"I would even like to sing a cappella if necessary."
Han Zhou is not talking nonsense.
The creation of this song is very strange.
To put it simply, this original singer is not very familiar with the musical notation, and to put it bluntly, has never studied music systematically.
But this singer has a sense of music and knows what sounds good.
Or to put it more simply, this singer was just humming along and came up with a few nice lines, and then used these lines, which came to him on impulse, to create this song.
The person who arranged the music for him was probably an amateur music producer who changed careers halfway through. He couldn't make much out of such a simple melody, so he just added some simple things.
From beginning to end, there are only three chords and a rhythmic drum beat, just a few simple things.
In order to make the song less dry, female harmony was used in the song to make the track a little more complex.
Even in the prelude, in order to make it less monotonous, a special sound of an ambulance siren was added.
The entire song was repeated once, and when it was repeated, the music and arrangement did not change in any way.
This is illogical in terms of songwriting.
Because when any song is repeated, there will definitely be changes in the arrangement to reflect the sense of layering. There are even people who are good at playing with music theory, such as Jay Chou, who directly write eight melodies in eight sections for one song without repetition.
However, this does not mean that every song has to be so complicated.
Sometimes, in order to make the music sound good, a lot needs to be abandoned in terms of arrangement logic.
If the pleasantness of this song is B+ when it is simply arranged, then it is probably C- after the complex arrangement.
When Han Zhou searched for the song "Mother's Words" in his mind, he found relevant things.
There are many adapted versions.
The audience only had two responses, either a sarcastic '6666666' or a direct 'what rubbish'.
Because the main melody was not written by someone knowledgeable in the field, it is naturally beautiful, not beautiful in terms of music theory.
So it is impossible for it to have musical arrangement and accompaniment.
The beauty of this song lies in the way it highlights the singer's voice.
After listening to Han Zhou's sophistry, Chen Feng said nothing more: "Okay, just say whatever you want."
"But I don't believe it."
"Unless you take back your words and your decision to quit the music industry."
"Otherwise I firmly believe that you are just dealing with things in this song."
Liu Yiling complained: "You guys go down and have a fight."
Lin Xiaoxing: "Objectively speaking, I think this song has a nice melody, is sung very nicely and attentively, and the lyrics are good too."
This song isn't top notch, or even particularly good, but there's nothing dangerous about it at all.
Even if Zhao Qian and Maca sing their best, they can't sing better than Han Zhou. Their singing skills have reached their ceiling.
So there is no point in discussing this.
The reason why Chen Feng was dissatisfied was more about the word "attitude".
After all, rock singers care a lot about attitude.
Liu Yiling and Lin Xiaoxing, on the other hand, take this lightly, because in pop music, music is romantic and free.
Even when Han Zhou and An Lan sang " Eaah! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha" together, Liu Yiling didn't say anything.
But Chen Feng was angry and sulking.
It was not easy to find a creative master, and he was discovered in his own show.
In Chen Feng's opinion, Han Zhou represents the hope for the future of the music industry.
After all, he is still writing rock music, and the rock songs he writes can make it to the charts and be liked by ordinary audiences. No one else can do that.
When Chen Feng saw Han Zhou, it was as if he saw a successor.
Now the successor says that he wants to destroy his Dantian Qi Sea and stop practicing from now on.
Chen Feng didn't get angry on the spot, which was considered very calm.
When Zhao Qian and Maika performed.
The audience is still discussing Han Zhou's retirement.
After realizing the importance of songwriters, many of An Lan's fans have been discussing the impact of Han Zhou's withdrawal.
After all, when many people first came into contact with An Lan, they knew that the songs "Flammable and Explosive", "Lover Missed", "Persistence", "Cloudy Day" and "Born to be Human" that An Lan sang so beautifully were all written by Han Zhou.
In their opinion, if this pair continues to work together, it won't be long before An Lan becomes a queen.
Once they become fans, the more they like their favorite singers, the higher their status becomes. This seems to be called a fan circle.
Han Zhou wants to quit now because his residual influence is too great.
At this time, we had to wait for the vote and the program entered the commercial break.
As the commercials were playing, many staff members of the program were busy counting votes.
By the final deadline, An Lan had received 670,000 votes.
Han Zhou received 340,000 votes.
Zhao Qian only has 30,000 votes.
McCain got 54,000 votes.
Seeing the voting results, Liu Yiling keenly realized that Liu Jianxi had taken action.
Logically, both Zhao Qian and Maca have signed with the company.
Even if the company is ruined, we have to give them 300,000 or 400,000 votes.
But it didn’t.
It is obvious that these 30,000 and 50,000 votes are real votes.
It is obvious that the two giant companies, Mailang and Global China, have made efforts.
Chen Feng: "Okay, next is the final decisive stage."
"You two have come this far, and you can be said to be very good friends. Do you have anything to say to each other?"
Liu Yiling smiled and said, "Welcome to the part where we say harsh words."
Han Zhou raised the microphone and said, "I hope you can become a queen as quickly as possible at a speed that no one has ever shown before."
"After all, this is the Internet age, and everything depends on speed."
An Lan raised the microphone and said, "I hope my fans can listen to the next songs carefully. If you like Han Zhou's songs, please vote for him."
"I hope the final champion will be Han Zhou."
After An Lan finished speaking, Han Zhou was stunned.
An Lan continued: "I hope the audience can tell Han Zhou how many people like his songs, how many people like his singing, and how many people hope he will stay in the music industry."
"I hope my fans will not use multiple phones to vote. If you like my next song, you can vote for me. Of course, you can also vote for Han Zhou, the creator of this song."
"Thanks."
Lin Xiaoxing: "You two are openly dating before the finals!"
"Hahaha."
Lin Xiaoxing, who didn't know, made a joke.
Liu Yiling and Chen Feng didn't laugh.
Lin Xiaoxing realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Are you serious?
Chen Feng: "Vote for the song that sounds good."
Liu Yiling: "I have the same idea as An Lan. I hope that people who like Han Zhou and like to listen to his singing can vote for him and let him know how many people like him and his singing. I don't want the music world to lose such a creative and talented young singer."
"Get him back from the film and television industry!"
Many actors and directors who were watching TV for entertainment were confused.
It's none of our business. Did Han Zhou enter the film and television industry? We didn't know! Why are you here to snatch people?
It was at this time that the first large-scale all-channel promotion of "Hello Mr. Tree" began.
Backed by Tianle, Universal China and Mailang, the promotion of "Hello Mr. Tree" scared the hell out of people as soon as it started!
Because the so-called live broadcast is five minutes earlier than the real time.
Therefore, it is still during advertising time, but the press release of "Hello Mr. Tree" has appeared in the main pages of all mainstream and non-mainstream media, and has also appeared on the official accounts of various media such as Weibo, and it is likely to be screen-sweeping.
