Chapter 129 Three Styles, Testing the Waters

After dinner, Zhang Zhihao and his friends had to go back to Minpu. It took an hour and a half to take the subway, so they didn't stay long after eating and drinking.

Back in the dormitory, my roommate and class monitor was sending messages and recording something.

"Zhou Rui, you're back. This year's National Day holiday is a full 10-day holiday. Students from other places who just came to Shanghai probably won't go home, so I'm going to organize a class trip. Do you have any place you want to go?"

Organizing activities was Tan Jiwen's canvassing declaration when he ran for class monitor. It was a rare holiday, so he was going to fulfill this promise. He was a trustworthy person.

But Zhou Rui shook his head.

He had a lot of things to do in ten days, whether it was to brush up experience, or to Zhang Zhihao's side, or "Qingke Studio", there were a lot of things to do.

Going out to play felt a bit wasteful, especially for freshmen who were likely to go out for "youthful awkward travel".

Hearing that Zhou Rui was not going to go, Tan Jiwen felt a little helpless.

It always felt like something was missing if the soul of the class didn't go.

And if Zhou Rui didn't go, then Han Ziyin would probably not go either.

If Han Ziyin doesn't go

I guess many boys in the class will think twice.

Suddenly I feel like this time is going to be a failure

The next morning, there was no class in the first period, so Zhou Rui took some time to finish the last bit of arrangement work for the three songs he recorded some time ago in the dormitory.

These three songs are all solos by Li Wenqian. He signed the lyrics and music, and will release them on QQ Music under the name "Aqian".

But the copyright owner is still him, and the old rules account for 85%, so Zhou Rui's income is about the same regardless of whose name is used.

When Zhou Rui was arranging the music, Li Da and others gathered around curiously and witnessed the birth of Teacher Arui's new work.

As for the arrangement software, they didn't know a word, but Zhou Rui could make adjustments quickly and accurately, which made them feel dazzled.

After listening to a clip, Tan Jiwen was surprised: "There is English? Is the voice of Teacher Aqian? It feels so special."

Li Da praised: "The humming in the front is amazing without lyrics."

Zhou Rui nodded and said: "I tried three completely different styles of music, which is a test of the water."

Before class, Zhou Rui packed the three audio sources and sent an email to Liang Liang. If possible, he hopes that these three songs can be put on the shelves before National Day.

——————————————

Liang Liang walked into his independent office with coffee.

As a popular person in the department, being late is a little privilege.

He just came back from the three northeastern provinces yesterday. Since he got the traffic bonus from "Arui", Liang Liang is now very keen on discovering the new generation of young musicians.

I found a student from the three northeastern provinces who released works intermittently on the Internet before. The quality of his works is good and very spiritual. He is a professional composer. After listening to it several times, Liang Liang took the initiative to contact the other party.

I didn't want to copy the glory of "Teacher A Rui", but after chatting on the phone for a while, I felt that the other party was very talented, and as a student, he could also capture the young market, so I bought a plane ticket to Shencheng.

The result was very good. The other party was preparing his own album. It was natural to cooperate with a platform. He signed an exclusive cooperation agreement with QQ Music, and it is expected to be released on QQ Music next year.

Liang Liang felt that he was experiencing a small blowout period of talent in the Chinese music scene. Whether it was the medical student discovered at the beginning of the year, or "A Rui" who exploded in the summer vacation, or the young man from Northeast China, they were all good at writing lyrics, composing and singing, which felt a bit like the rise of heroes in the "post-Jie Lun" era.

However, the only headache was "Teacher A Rui", who was not very active in business. Recently, the university started, and Liang Liang felt that Teacher A Rui was missing.

Just thinking about it, he saw a new email in his mailbox.

The sender was "A Rui", which surprised him a little. When he saw "There are 3 attachments" written in the lower left corner, Liang Liang became energetic.

When I clicked on it, I saw that it was indeed three professionally formatted music sources.

Three songs at a time! I thought it was a single, but this is a real surprise.

"Arui" added: "I tried a new style, and I hope it will be online as soon as possible on November 11, and it can be posted under both Arui and Aqian."

Originally, Zhou Rui wanted to post it only under Aqian, but considering that in order to make money, it might not be appealing to post it only under Aqian, so he simply posted it under both of them, and users can see and search it under the names of both of them.

Liang Liang looked at the names of the three songs.

"Ode to Loneliness"

"Like"

"Not Angry"

Liang Liang was stunned. Why is there English? Is it an English name with Chinese lyrics?

Some musicians have done this before, but they are mostly pretending.

Out of curiosity, Liang Liang took the lead in clicking on the bottom "Not Angry".

Very quickly.

The soft, playful, and cute humming sound entered Liang Liang's ears.

Liang Liang was stunned. Can songs be written like this?

Even without any lyrics, Liang Liang felt that he could play the song on repeat all day long just by humming the first part.

Soft as the evening breeze, like first love humming beside you

What is this? This is too good to be true

With one sentence "Oh boy~", Liang Liang felt half of his body softened

Before hearing the chorus, Liang Liang knew that this song would be a hit!

Even if the chorus is a bunch of garbage, it would be a hit just by the prelude!

Liang Liang suppressed his curiosity about the other two songs and listened to "Not Angry" over and over again.

Fresh, cute, relaxed and happy.

The quality of the chorus is also very high, and "A Qian"'s voice singing English is not like many musicians, who have a hard accent and repeat a few words like love, baby, oh! over and over again.

The lyrics are not complicated, but very natural.

Liang Liang shook his head left and right, and the coffee in the cup became sweeter.

Suddenly I want to fall in love.

After listening to it five times, Liang Liang forced himself to exit the "fan" mode and re-enter the professional state, and clicked on the other two songs.

"Lonely Ode" is actually a Chinese song with a hint of jazz style!

"Like" is an independent pop style that Liang Liang has never seen before, especially the singing style is very unique, with a little shadow of folk songs, but the arrangement is very avant-garde.

No wonder Teacher A Rui said that he tried a little new style.

This is basically three new styles.

And each song is of extremely high quality, and the arrangement style is very advanced.

Is Mr. A Rui testing the waters? Three singles, three styles

Talented people are so willful

However, Liang Liang is sure that this attempt will definitely succeed.

With the popularity of online music platforms, the Chinese music scene is currently flourishing, and many previously niche styles have gradually entered the mainstream circle because the number of users has increased.

The unique style of Mr. A Rui's three works this time is only one of them, and the quality is the key.

Due to market changes and the reduced activity of the previous generation of superstars, young people are becoming more and more receptive to foreign songs. Of course, it is also related to the overall environment, and there is an invisible contempt chain.

Those who like popular songs look down on those who like old songs, those who like Hong Kong and Taiwan look down on those who like mainland songs, and those who like foreign languages ​​look down on everyone present

Liang Liang thinks that this song "Not Angry" may have a chance to go abroad.

He has been promoted to deputy director and can now independently decide on the operation plan.

Nothing to say!

Online on National Day! Top resources!

No, A-rui has two more hit songs, and the album "Starry Sea" will also give it a boost, with double top-level resource positions, all released simultaneously!
