Chapter 758: Dutiful Ye Teacher
"Rock songs will naturally weaken the melody, and will not deliberately pursue the catchy and easy spread of the melody."
"But such characteristics will limit the singing of the song itself."
"It's obvious that if you deal with it like this, it's not suitable for the mother theme who really loves you."
“It should be heard by everyone, not circulated within a niche.”
It is also a private lounge for the band that is open within the Rainbow Plan.
The members of the non-closing band and the two members who joined the team are having a meeting.
Ye Weiyang has already done the lyrics and arrangements of the song "Really Love You" and has been circulated for everyone.
The arrangement of this song continues the traditional characteristics of rock music. It only has the simplest rock instruments, and the structure is not complicated.
This arrangement method is very traditional. It was usually before the 1990s when electronic music was not yet perfect. It was relatively common, but it was not very common in the 21st century.
Until now, even some of the more popular rock bands today choose to add a lot of new technologies and special electronic sampling tones to the arrangement rather than being limited to traditional instrumental tones.
So when I saw the arrangement, Wu Shenghao, the post-00s rock singer, still felt quite nostalgic.
But he didn't find it strange.
Traditional rock has always been a very marketable style, and it is also the most popular style. The traditional rock songs that were popular twenty or thirty years ago are still must-practice songs for bands of all walks of life, and will not be outdated at all.
It is nothing strange that Ye Weiyang chose a more traditional arrangement.
However, Zhou Huan was quite curious about the arrangement of this song and raised many musical questions to Ye Weiyang and wanted to find answers.
Ye Weiyang, who pushed back the song "Really Love You" and carefully improved the arrangement. Although he did not know the song as well as the original creator Huang Jiaju, he still had a deeper understanding.
These small problems are naturally unstoppable to Ye Weiyang. He devoted his duties and tried his best to teach the creative concept of this song "Really Love You" to the two of them.
In addition, we also took the opportunity to teach them the true essence of singing.
"Most works that are too popular are not long-lasting, and most songs that are too rock are hard to accept."
"It is not difficult to write a cool and profound niche song. When you look at the history of music, you can find a bunch of such authors."
"It is not difficult to write a magical single that is so popular on the streets that are so vulgar and vulgar. There are countless such singers in various countries."
"Yes, it is very difficult, very difficult, and particularly difficult to write works that are both popular and rock-singing."
Listening to Ye Weiyang's summary of the current musical songs, Wu Shenghao fell into deep thought as if he had some insight.
There are two types of people who play independent bands.
One is a very arrogant person who claims to be very talented, so he does not want to follow the crowd, does not want to cater to the market, and pursues the trend, but hopes to follow his own style. He feels that even if he follows his own style, he can become a unique music master.
That is the group of people who are often regarded as "pretending to be noble", "hard bones" and "untrue" in the mainstream music industry.
There are another group of people who do not like the mainstream market and do not want to cater to the mainstream market, but do not know how to cater to the trend, and there is no way to access capital.
This group of people usually verbally say that independent bands are good, and why we don’t compromise for capital. They are really people who play music, not assembly line singers who are influenced by capital.
But in fact, they are thinking behind their backs every day about how to enter the mainstream music circle and how to write popular songs. They are also very envious of the popular singers in the mainstream music scene and want to replace them.
Simply put, a group of people really look down on the mainstream music industry, thinking that these commercialized and produced songs made from assembly lines are incomparable to their own talents. They are musical garbage. They disdain to integrate into and compromise with this pop music.
Another group of people are just a disagreement, say they don’t want it, but their bodies are very honest. If they have the chance, they are eager to integrate into the kind.
Coincidentally, Wu Shenghao is the second type of person.
Although their platform band No. 8 is an independent band, Wu Shenghao never thought of staying underground all his life and playing niche music.
But just as Ye Weiyang said, it is not difficult to write a cool and niche song.
As long as you don’t deliberately use some of the all-purpose chord routines that are used in the pop music scene now, don’t play those “hot song templates”, and write some unpopular and rare melodies yourself with your heart, and write more than a dozen or two, there will always be one or two that may become “unpopular good songs”.
But the achievements are limited to this. It is basically no chance to move from an unpopular to a mainstream.
After all, niches are niches. If niches can be liked by the public, then it will not be called niches.
For Wu Shenghao, he really disdains to write the kind of dirty and devilish nature that can quickly become popular in the streets and alleys.
But he still has a lot of ideas about the high-quality pop songs.
For example, some of the best pop songs produced by the Breaking Band, whether it is the songs in "Pudding" or "Poetry of Post-Youth", are both catchy and connotationless.
It takes into account the popularity, but it is not bad. It sounds simple, but it is not easy to write such a song.
Holding the score and arrangement of the song "Really Love You", Wu Shenghao's eyes shone and he looked at it hungrily.
As Ye Weiyang said, this song is a work that has the potential to be popular, rock and sing for a long time!
Although it has not been released yet, Wu Shenghao believes that once he sang it on stage, he will be as popular as "Zhong Wuyan" and "Best Bad Friend".
It's even possible that the best single for Mother's Day every year!
He still has this little bit of vision.
If that is the case, if you don’t study the excellent songs in front of you, what other opportunities are there to wait for?
"Teacher Ye, what do you think of this part of the chord structure..."
"Teacher Ye, why do you choose to add this section for distorted guitar treatment here..."
One question after another was asked from Wu Shenghao.
Why is there a long electric guitar solo in the middle? What is the meaning of this solo? What is the reason for adding distorted guitar at the beginning of the prelude?
As long as Wu Shenghao can't understand, he will humbly ask.
The simpler arrangement of "Really Love You" is enough for him to learn for a long time.
If he could fully understand the creative concept and arrangement concept of this song, he would not be able to reach Ye Weiyang's level immediately, but at least he could have entered the level of how to combine pop and rock just right!
For him, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Ye Weiyang was not stingy at all about this. He passed on everything he could understand, and even his own understanding of the creation of this song was taught to Wu Shenghao.
In comparison, Zhou Huan, who is not very interested in rock and does not understand rock, seems much silent.
Halfway through teaching, Ye Weiyang glanced at Zhou Huan who listened quietly but didn't ask much, and was not surprised.
Zhou Huan is not suitable for rock, and his path is not here, so he doesn't need to learn as eagerly as Wu Shenghao.
