Chapter 72 Plagiarism
After this turmoil, Ye Zhou's life gradually returned to calm. Apart from the fact that the two of them are more popular than before, and their popularity is much higher than before, it seems that nothing has changed.
The most intuitive change is that Geng Zhou and Ye Zhiyin have received more announcements and invitations, and many variety show interview staff have become more polite to them. .
In plain language, it's more popular.
This kind of popularity is vividly reflected in Geng Zhou. Now he only needs to post a private Weibo instead of reposting advertisements, and the number of likes can reach more than 100 million a day, and his popularity is basically the same as that of Ye Zhiyin.
Lin Quan said before that variety shows, especially reality shows, are very attractive to fans. This is really not a lie.
After a few days of calm, Geng Zhou finished writing the new song smoothly, and showed Lin Quan his new song as promised. Lin Quan understood Geng Zhou's talent and knew that his writing would not be bad, but after reading the draft, he still felt the same. I couldn't help admiring again and again, saying that I haven't seen such an aura of ancient songs in several years, and I highly appreciate this new song.
These days, the audience's preferences are quite literary and fresh. After many years of being away from rock and Internet songs, the public's taste has been shifting to mainstream love songs for a few years.Most of the songs played by Geng Zhou on the talent show are also folk songs.
He stepped on the high chair stool, bowed his head and plucked the guitar lightly, and the relaxed and happy melody flowed out slowly with the plucking of his fingertips.
Geng Zhou is good at folk songs, but since his official debut, he hasn't written any folk songs.Lin Quan has been waiting for Geng Zhou to write a popular folk song, but the three songs he waited for came with three completely different styles.
One is a sweet little love song, the second is a classic rock style that was popular a few years ago, and the third song should be a folk song that he is good at and the audience loves again, right?But Geng Zhou surprised Lin Quan and wrote an ancient song.
This kind of ancient style songs created by Geng Zhou, there is this type in the Chinese music scene, and the audience seems to be able to buy it, but in the past few years, there have not been many particularly aura songs, most of them sound the same, and it feels like humming the tune. Almost, sometimes listeners confuse several songs.
The difference from the Chinese music scene is that there are many capable people on the Internet, and the ancient songs written are quite tasteful, and the audience also buys it.
It shows that there is a market, but there are no good works in the mainstream music scene.
Geng Zhou's song is called "Xiang Ji Xuan", and the lyrics are inspired by a line in Gui Youguang's "Xiang Ji Xuan Zhi": There is a loquat tree in the garden, which was planted by my wife when she died, and now it is as graceful as a roof.
Lin Quan listened to the recording of Geng Zhou playing casually on the guitar. His new song has a delicate and fresh style, but if there is a hint of sadness that seems to be absent, emotional people will not be able to help crying when they hear the end , people who are a little more rational will feel that the apex of the heart is haunted by melancholy for a long time, which is unforgettable.
After Lin Quan finished listening, he couldn't help but choked up.
"..." Geng Zhou didn't expect Lin Quan to be such a sentimental person, he smiled and said, "Brother Lin, you haven't married a sister-in-law yet, who do you think of?"
Lin Quan pinched the tip of his nose vigorously with a tissue, pretending nothing happened, turned his head and said indifferently: "Can't I have a first love or something?"
Geng Zhou couldn't help laughing again, but there was no sense of ridicule in this laugh, and it didn't make Lin Quan feel uncomfortable.
Lin Quan changed the subject abruptly and said, "When you wrote this song, who were you thinking about? Is it also your first love?"
It's right to say it's first love, Geng Zhou nodded slightly.
"Who?" Lin Quan looked at Geng Zhou's expression, frowned, and asked in surprise, "Isn't it Ye Zhiyin?"
Geng Zhou nodded again.
Lin Quan cursed and said, "Have all the good cabbages been bullied by pigs these days?"
Geng Zhou didn't like Lin Quan saying that about Ye Zhiyin. Although he knew that Lin Quan was in doubt, he still couldn't help reminding him, "Don't say that about him next time."
"..." Lin Quan said helplessly, "All right, all right, I've never teased him like this in person." He actually complained about Ye Zhiyin in front of Geng Zhou, really blind.
Geng Zhou added: "It doesn't work behind the scenes either."
Lin Quan didn't withdraw at all, and said hello.
He paused for a while, then returned to the topic, and said: "But let me tell you clearly, you have to be prepared to hit the street with this kind of sad ancient style song. These days, the taste of the public is sweet, so come here. □□, it is estimated that it is thankless."
Geng Zhou understands the tastes of the current audience very well, so he understands this very well.
Lin Quan said again: "Besides, it's a bit too flimsy to just release this single. Let me think about how to release it. I guess this song will take a while, and it will be released when there is a chance."
Lin Quan said it would take a while.This time is still a polite statement.In the first half of today, an album and a single have been released. The development of the second half of the year should mainly focus on film and television and variety shows. It is the company's plan for them in the second half of the year to show their faces in front of the screen and increase their popularity.
The next album should be at the beginning of next year, this is the general plan that Geng Zhou has known for a long time.So according to common sense, it is estimated that this song will also be included in next year's album and released together.
The result was within his expectations, so Geng Zhou was not too disappointed. He expressed his understanding to Lin Quan, and Lin Quan let him go back first.
Geng Zhou thought that the matter of the new song would come to an end. Unexpectedly, Lin Quan sent him a message the next day, saying that the release of the new song had come to an end.
Lin Quan said that originally this kind of sad ancient style song is not suitable for inclusion in the team's album, and the style of painting will be more difficult to integrate into. Musician and producer.
The seniors in the music industry all shook their heads and said that there were no channels.
Lin Quan had already resigned himself to his fate, but suddenly a famous producer called him and asked if he could listen to Geng Zhou's new song.
This producer is Lin Quan's Faxiao, and he is very reliable, but Lin Quan still only sent a section to Faxiao, fearing that after posting the whole song, the whole song will be exposed in advance by interested people.
After listening to the whole song, Fa Xiao expressed his surprise and said that he wanted to meet Geng Zhou.
Geng Zhou and Lin Quan sat face to face, listening to Lin Quan talk about the adventures of the past two days.
Lin Quan talked too much in one breath, rested for a few seconds, drank a large glass of ice water, and said excitedly: "Guess what? A TV series he produced in the second half of last year lacked a tune like yours." theme song."
Songs of this style are not suitable for the direct release of the album, but more suitable as the theme song or episode of a costume drama or movie. It is well known, but Lin Quan found a good way by accident.
But last year's TV series was finalized to catch up with this year's summer vacation. Usually, this month, let alone the theme song, even the post-production should be ready. How could it be possible to find someone to write the theme song temporarily?
This unscientific.
Geng Zhou asked Lin Quan about this doubt, and Lin Quan also felt that it was illogical, but he believed in his own childhood and was unwilling to think of people as bad.
He said: "Let's put it this way, the producer said that he wants to see you in the past two days, we will ask you clearly, and it will be fine if you don't suffer."
Geng Zhou felt that this was also the reason, and gradually let go of his mind.
Lin Quan helped Geng Zhou check the itinerary. He didn't have time these few days, but he didn't want to leave others alone. He wanted Geng Zhou to make a good impression on the crew, so he changed the itinerary of Geng Zhou and Ye Zhiyin. Pushed things back.
Two days later, Geng Zhou met the producer.
To Geng Zhou's surprise, he thought he would only meet one producer, that is, Fa Xiao in Lin Quan's mouth, but when he went to the agreed occasion, he realized that it was not just a producer who greeted him as a loner.
The other party came with three people, namely the producer, the director, and the assistant director. I am afraid that the core characters of the entire crew were brought here, which is enough to see that the crew attaches great importance to this matter.
After seeing the director, Geng Zhou realized in a daze what kind of TV series this was.
This is a female director, surnamed An, who is quite uncommon, so Geng Zhou remembers it very clearly.This female director is quite well-known in the industry. In the name of making conscientious costume dramas, she does not hype, does not market, and does not invite traffic niches or Huadan who are not suitable for the role itself to support the ratings. She is a rare director in the entertainment industry.
But her form has advantages and disadvantages.
The dramas made by this director have a good reputation. Most of Douban scores are above [-]. Last year, a Republic of China drama got a high score of [-].
The main body of Douban is relatively fresh and artistic, and the commentary videos are also sharp and profound. Many dramas can be scored as low as two points or less, but under the hands of the picky Douban masses, they can get seven to eight points. Word of mouth is very good.
The disadvantages are also obvious, easy to flutter.
In today's society, fans account for a large part of the ratings. There are no traffic stars to support the stage. The audience doesn't even know that there is a show in this period of time, so how can there be ratings?
But Director An still insisted on his own style, which Geng Zhou admired very much.
Director An was indeed the one who spoke first. She made a simple statement first, and then said anxiously: "Geng Zhou, I have listened to a section of your song, and I really want to listen to the whole thing, can I?"
Geng Zhou was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and glanced at Lin Quan, knowing that he was wary of others, so he gave a short paragraph.
He felt that Lin Quan was thoughtful, but he also felt that Director An should be a trustworthy person.
Geng Zhou thought for a while, changed the subject, and asked, "Director An, can you tell me why the crew has to find a theme song temporarily?"
Director An closed his eyes when he heard this, and said helplessly, "That's because we suddenly discovered that the singer who wrote the theme song copied the prelude of a famous foreign symphony."
