Chapter 207: A Scumbag Certified by the Whole Network
evening.
Wen Zheng took advantage of Luo Guangcai's break and led him to the studio to find Ye Xiaoxue who had re-arranged the music.
The reason why Wen Zheng entrusted this part of the work to her on a whim was that after all, Wen Zheng still wanted to see her ability. Although the afternoon was a little rushed, it was enough for Wen Zheng to know the autumn leaves.
In any case, Wen Zheng has fully absorbed Wen Zheng's musical literacy, and under the leadership of the system, he has been in the industry for half a year. Coupled with his experience in Blue Star, it can be said that he is now standing on the shoulders of giants.
Overlooking the entire music scene of Dragon Kingdom, one's vision is naturally broad and unique.
Inside the studio.
Surrounded by Yueyin staff, Ye Xiaoxue was extremely busy.
The staff all knew that this was what Wen Zheng meant, so they gave Ye Xiaoxue enough face. Ever since Wen Zheng produced the song "Broader Seas and Sky", and then later in the dubbing production of TV series, they had not worked overtime like this for a long time. Although they were tired,
But everyone enjoys it.
After all, this is a project led by Wen Zheng.
"How's the progress?"
Wen Zheng pushed the door open and asked pleasantly.
After everyone found out that Wen Zheng had arrived, they all called Mr. Wen good, but there was not much joy on their faces.
Ye Xiaoxue smacked her lips and said with a hint of complaint: "Time is too tight. According to the direction you gave before, we only adjusted the use of instruments and chords in the accompaniment. We haven't started on other things yet, and we have no clue. It is estimated that it will be completed.
No."
Wen Zheng asked: "What do you think in the general direction?"
A staff member responded: "The style of the original song is rather melancholy. We are trying to change the style of the song to a healing and sunny direction as much as possible. However, time is tight. At present, we have only decided to add new instruments and chord adjustments to make the accompaniment more full.
, I don’t have much idea about other aspects yet.”
Wen Zheng asked: "Do you have a sample? I'll listen to it first."
"have!"
After Ye Xiaoxue said that, she handed the music score that Wen Zhengxin had revised, and then played a demo she had just made.
After Wen Zheng listened, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "People who are sad should not listen to slow songs. Do you know why?"
Everyone looked at each other, wondering why Wen Zheng suddenly asked this.
Ye Xiaoxue subconsciously replied: "Slow songs make people feel low and depressed? So what you mean is that the tempo of this song should be faster?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone suddenly realized it and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
After being busy all afternoon, they even forgot this common sense.
Wen Zheng nodded and said: "Speed marks can also be regarded as emotional marks. You should all know this. For example, if you play sad music faster, the effect will be very joyful. In the same way, the melody of this song must be like
To move in a positive direction, first of all, we have to make small adjustments to the original tempo, um... it’s like the finishing touch, no big adjustments are needed.”
"Speaking of speed beats, you can also add a short rap, so that the vitality will come in?"
When Wen Zheng said this, he turned to look at Luo Guangcai, "Can it be done?"
Luo Guangcai swallowed his saliva and said bravely: "I will practice more, but you have to help me check it."
Wen Zheng continued: "If you add rap, the original lyrics must be deleted and added. For example, words such as cloudy, no nostalgia, and scattered into clouds can be replaced with more positive words and phrases. If necessary, the original lyrics can be completely changed."
The sentences have to be overturned and rewritten. But it’s still the same, just make appropriate small adjustments. Overall, the theme of the original song must be retained.”
"This...is a bit difficult..."
One staff member muttered cautiously, "The lyrics can only be adjusted slightly, and the main idea of the original song must be retained. Doesn't that go against the general direction of the adaptation?"
Seeing Wen Zheng looking at her, Ye Xiaoxue said tentatively: "Can it be understood that, uh... but it's a cool autumn?"
"That's right!"
Wen Zhengyi snapped his fingers and praised, "As expected of a top student. There are many ways to express an emotion. As Ye Xiaoxue said, I obviously want to say that I am sad, but I prefer to talk about the weather. It is really cool in autumn. At first glance, it looks like
There are completely two states of fine product. Well...that's basically what it means."
"I'll change the words."
Ye Xiaoxue quickly took over, but then smiled and said, "But you will have to help me check it later."
Wen Zheng nodded, picked up the original song on the table, looked at it, pointed to the chorus part and said: "The tone can be raised here, and with more positive words, the feeling will no longer be tight.
A tense state. For example, "can't get it" can be changed to the opposite word."
"Well... you have done a good job with the chords here. You have adjusted the original discordant chords, but after changing the words, you have to make the sentence stop on the harmonious chords, so that the original uncertain question becomes an affirmative
The condition will be better.”
Ye Xiaoxue hurriedly asked: "What about the change in musical instruments? Originally, the middle part was changed from piano to guitar, and we added a drum set."
Wen Zheng frowned and shook his head: "It's a good idea, but it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause."
Everyone seems to understand but not understand.
Wen Zheng asked: "You should all know the word soundscape, right?"
Ye Xiaoxue and others nodded.
Luo Guangcai was confused and couldn't understand it at all. Why is it so particular?
Wen Zheng paused, picked up a pen and sketched a section on the original song, and said: "The column chord used here is correct, and there is no need to change it. However, the original slow column chord should be changed to a short column chord. The reason is
Well, you guys thought of adding a drum set, you should understand why, right?"
After everyone thought for a moment, they suddenly became enlightened.
The slow column chords of the original song are turned into guitars, which makes the original song slow in rhythm. Coupled with the metallic tone of the guitar, although it creates a gorgeous dreamy feeling, the mood is always in a state of whining.
If you change the slow barricad chords to short barricaded chords, the feeling of power will rise instantly.
This is also the reason why they added a drum set, but as Wen Zheng said, adding only the drum set without making other adaptations would treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
After Ye Xiaoxue figured it out, he asked: "How about replacing the guitar with electroacoustic music, such as electric guitar, bass, etc., to avoid the appearance of metallic sounds, and then pair it with a drum set, so that the sense of thickness and progression will be obvious
Yes. Is that so?"
Wen Zheng spread his hands, looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "What do you want me to do? Get busy."
Luo Guangcai looked at everyone happily getting busy again, and couldn't help but laugh: "Boss, you are so awesome, you deserve to be the man who can become my idol. You sorted out all the details in just a few words, but I couldn't understand many parts."
"
"Stop flattering."
Wen Zheng laughed and scolded, "You should also take the time to make up for extra classes. Look at how spiritual Ye Xiaoxue is now."
Luo Guangcai curled his lips and said: "I value sex over friends."
Wen Zheng ignored it and said instead: "Actually, they all understand this. It's just that the time is too short and the pressure is so tight that it is inevitable that the brain will short-circuit. But there is one thing to say, Ye Xiaoxue's progress is indeed obvious."
Luo Guangcai sighed and silently turned around and went to the recording studio to continue practicing singing.
After a busy night, everyone benefited a lot.
The next day.
Wen Zheng went to the hospital as soon as possible. His father's condition was getting better day by day, which made him feel relieved.
However, the scandal has not yet come out. In order not to affect Boss Lin's plan, he took the initiative to send a message to Feng Xiaoyong. After all, this kind of thing still needs to be fermented after it comes out. It is better to get rid of Ye Xiaoxue's back sooner rather than later.
The team gets started.
The message was answered quickly.
Ye Xiaoyong vowed: "It will be released this afternoon at the latest. I sold the things again and said that I had a grudge against you and wanted to deliberately retaliate against you. That paparazzi knew my strength and did not dare to mess around."
Wen Zheng: "..."
He never expected that Feng Xiaoyong was really like a wild goose and made another profit when he changed hands. He really didn't make a loss-making business.
By the time he arrived at the scene, the Easter match had already begun.
Three of the eleven contestants have already appeared on the stage to sing. The overall performance can only be said to be quite satisfactory, and there are no contestants who performed amazingly.
Wen Zheng looked at the entrance to the backstage for a while, then went backstage to find Luo Guangcai.
He was the eighth from the bottom to appear. Ye Xiaoxue, Lin Qi and others were all here at this time. Not only were they cheering for him, they also needed to show their faces after all the promotion quotas were determined.
When the six people gathered together, there was naturally only one topic to talk about, to cheer Luo Guangcai up.
Soon, the game came to the second half. Luo Guangcai took a deep breath and walked onto the stage confidently amid the cheers of his brothers.
Although he practiced singing very late last night, he felt that he was in particularly good condition today.
If Wen Zheng can't push him into the semi-finals even with all his efforts, then he can really take out his belt and hang himself on the southeast branch.
When he told the song he sang, everyone subconsciously looked at judge No. 3, because the original singer was sitting under the stage. Choosing such a song was actually very risky.
However, as soon as the prelude came out, the five judges immediately noticed something unusual.
This guy has re-arranged the song!
Just when he was thinking this, Luo Guangcai started singing. After singing the first short verse, the originally stern expressions of the five judges softened a lot.
Especially judge No. 3, as the original singer, she knew that Luo Guangcai had put in the effort to adapt it, and that what was originally a depressive song now had a vigorous vitality.
Although the audience can feel the different emotional tone from the original song, few people know how much effort was put into it.
However, the five judges are all amateurs, and they knew as soon as they heard it that this song was very well adapted.
Just when they thought that was all, Luo Guangcai suddenly added a rap that once again made everyone's eyes shine.
Judge No. 1 was surprised and said: "Did we make a mistake? The level of his adaptation is not low."
Judge No. 4 also said slowly: "It can be seen that he has worked hard on the beat speed and lyrics, and his foundation is very good. It is amazing. This old wine is put in a new bottle, and the effect is very good."
While speaking, Luo Guangcai had already entered the chorus.
When the five judges heard the melody here, they immediately became energetic and all five of them nodded secretly.
Judge No. 3 said: "He changed the chords and accompaniment, making the tone of the music more vital and infectious. My original song, well... in today's terms, was too sad. Her change completely gave it a new twist.
This song has new vitality and more positive emotions. It’s very good.”
"hiss……"
Judge No. 5 gasped, "Could it be Wen Zheng's handiwork? Although his voice has a wide range of timbre and range, most of his songs are of this positive energy."
Judge No. 2 reminded: "Listen to the song carefully first, and you will know later if you ask. This kid's performance today has obviously improved a lot compared to the preliminary round."
Not long after.
After Luo Guangcai finished singing, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Luo Guangcai, who had never been nervous when singing, became so nervous that his palms became sweaty after hearing the cheers at the scene, and he couldn't help but subconsciously look towards Wen Zheng on the sidelines.
Judge No. 1 got straight to the point: "The performance is amazing. Since the start of the national competition, you are the only contestant who has made us feel this amazing so far. The adaptation of this song is very successful, but I want to know who this is."
The craftsmanship?"
Luo Guangcai said excitedly: "Thanks to my elder brother Wen Zheng, Ye Xiaoxue, and the staff of Yueyin. This song was made last night, with Wen Zheng giving direction and Ye Xiaoxue personally doing it. Thank you to them."
The five judges looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Judge No. 1 couldn't help but muttered: "No wonder they are clamoring to go behind the scenes, this skill is very powerful."
When it was Judge No. 2's turn to speak, he praised the re-arranged song without hesitation. He also pointed out Luo Guangcai's obvious progress in singing and affirmed his self-breakthrough.
Judge No. 3 just said: "I just want to say that you gave this song a new vitality and redeemed the old version of the song. Thank you. It's really great!"
…
After some comments, Luo Guangcai scored 87 points, temporarily ranking first in the playoffs.
What followed was overwhelming publicity on the Internet. After all, Ye Xiaoxue had only scored 84 points before, which was the highest score since the start of the national competition. More importantly, Luo Guangcai's song was really nice.
When Luo Guangcai became popular, Wen Zheng and Ye Xiaoxue also hit the hot searches, and were dubbed as a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
The time comes in the afternoon.
Luo Guangcai ranked first in the rematch and secured a spot in the semi-finals.
At this point, the first round of competition for thirty-one singers has ended, twenty singers have entered the semi-finals, and the last eleven singers have been eliminated.
During the curtain call performance of the Eleven, many scenes of deep brotherhood were staged that attracted eyeballs and tears.
Wen Zheng had no reaction at all.
He had seen many talent shows in his previous life, which were just plastic sisterhoods. When things really involve interests, the boat of friendship would have to capsize.
Lin Qi wiped away tears and said: "We all have to work hard. I don't want to see the next game. Who asks me to go up and see him off."
Luo Guangcai was frightened and said nothing.
Shang Yingying, who was wearing a scarf while watching the show, suddenly shouted: "I'm going! Wen Zheng, you...when did you and Ye Xiaoxue get together?!"
Zhao Xia and Luo Guangcai were both stunned and looked at Wen Zheng in confusion.
Lin Qi was moved by the tragic drama on the North Stage and was feeling sad. When she heard the news and saw everyone's reaction, she couldn't hold it back for a moment and burst into laughter.
Shang Yingying was confused.
Ye Xiaoxue tilted her head and looked at Wen Zheng, but smiled lightly.
Wen Zheng coughed twice and asked, "Do you think this is possible?"
Shang Yingying almost shoved the phone into his face and asked: "Look for yourselves. Although this photo is not very clear, I am sure it is you. Xiaoxue has this dress. I have seen it. You two are still holding hands."
Holding hands together, tsk tsk... confidentiality is not good either."
Zhao Xia quickly interrupted: "What, what's going on with Wang Sisi? Boss, you can't..."
Before he finished speaking, it was obvious that everyone knew what he wanted to say.
I just want to ask if Wen Zheng has become a scumbag, broke up with Wang Sisi, and then chose to be with Ye Xiaoxue.
Shang Yingying became jealous and asked: "When did it happen?"
At this time, Ye Xiaoxue couldn't listen anymore.
She spread her hands and said: "I admit that the people in this photo are us. But don't make wild guesses. We have nothing to do with others. So...do you understand?"
Everyone is in the industry, so naturally they know about scandals, and sometimes they really can't take them seriously.
Scandals, speculation on CP, displays of affection, recruiting gangsters for no reason, charity, legal battles, etc., these are all effective means of hype.
Luo Guangcai took a breath of cold air.
He still couldn't help but ask: "Is it really arranged by the company? Then your sacrifice is a bit big."
"When I step back, someone has to step up."
Wen Zheng pressed his hands and lowered his voice, "We are all our own people, there is no need to hide it from you, but keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
Shang Yingying wailed: "Oh my god, if I had known that I would come to Yueyin too. I found that as long as I follow you, I will be full after drinking soup."
Zhao Xia glanced at her majestic place and joked: "You can be completely self-sufficient."
Shang Yingying said arrogantly: "Don't even think about causing any scandal with me. My sister has high standards now and is eyeing Wen Zheng."
Everyone laughed.
After regaining his composure, Lin Qi stared at his phone and said, "Luo Guangcai, your hot search headlines were snatched instantly."
Luo Guangcai smiled bitterly.
What can he do? One is his boss and the other is his goddess. He can't compare to either of them, and he can't handle them either.
Lin Qi continued: "The number one hot search topic is the scandal between Wen Zheng and Ye Xiaoxue. The second hot search topic is the scandal between you two. They are both talented and beautiful. However... the comment section is terrible. I suggest you stop reading it."
Wen Zheng didn't take it seriously and said, "Let them scold you. I will send a lawyer's letter another day."
Shang Yingying put away her phone, stared directly at Wen Zheng, and said in a soft voice: "This scumbag recognized by the entire Internet, why don't we make a blatant appointment later? I don't mind transferring the part for Xiaoxue.
Firepower. The reward is easy to say."
Ye Xiaoxue said seriously: "I think it will work."
Zhao Xia looked at Shang Yingying who was blatantly seducing Wen Zheng, covered his face and said, "I don't dare to see this, I don't dare to see it."
Luo Guangcai said sadly: "This is outrageous, outrageous, and simply immoral."
Shang Yingying curled her lips and said: "I see, you just hate that you are not a girl now. Don't be jealous, you have no capital at all."
"Okay, okay. Let's all be serious."
Wen Zheng lectured him seriously: "If Luo Guangcai were a girl, I wouldn't dare to have her. I wouldn't dare to have her."
Everyone burst into laughter.
After a long quarrel, Wang Zheng was at Wen Zheng's place.
Ye Xiaoxue also held back her mouth and smiled: "I always thought that there was something wrong with your aesthetics."
