In Taipei, the average temperature in June is above 25 degrees, and it is hot and rainy.got off the plane, as soon as he got out of the pick-up gate, the staff who picked up the airport gave Ding Ning and his party an umbrella, and reminded him that if he went out, remember to carry it with him, otherwise he would not blame Taipei for being hospitable.Ding Ning and his entourage smiled and thanked him, and under the leadership of the staff, they went to the hotel that the organizer helped book.The hotel is quite stylish, not located in a skyscraper, but a villa-style building surrounded by shady greenery, with a Japanese style and a simple and elegant interior with a faint woody scent.After completing a series of check-in procedures, the group had just arrived at their respective rooms to put down their luggage, and it began to rain.The heavy rain knocked the palms, kapok and rain bean trees in the courtyard, and the rain fell down the eaves, and the view through the window was very island-like.Ding Ning pushed open the window, wanting to see the rainy scene in Taipei, and as soon as he poked his head out, he smelled a strong fragrance.The moon orange, also known as the seven-mile incense, is clustered into clusters of white flowers, which are embarrassed by the heavy rain, and the faint fragrance fills the humid air, which is probably the source of the phrase "my love overflows like rain" in the seven-mile fragrance.The room where he lived was just near the corner, and there was a sunny day doll hanging on the corner of the eaves, which was being blown by the fierce wind, which made Ding Ning think of his childhood.He used to have a room with an eaves, and when it was sunny, the sun flowed down the ravines on the eaves, and when it rained, the rain poured like a waterfall, and the whole house seemed to be cut off from the world.He had also hung something on the eaves, but it was not a sunny day doll, but a wind chime.It's just that it was pulled off in less than half a day, because the noise of the big night made people restless, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise when he thought about it.But.This nostalgia is not due to how good this place is.How retro it is, it's more due to feelings.Here, everything he sees at a glance is a song for Ding Ning, and a clear memory from the yellowing.Hong Kong Island and Bay Island music, when he was young in his previous life, dominated the entire Chinese music scene.It can be said that he grew up listening to the songs of Hong Kong Island and Bay Island singers since he was a child.From my grandmother's Penghu Bay, childhood and other Bay Island campus folk songs, to the era of pop golden songs represented by the Four Heavenly Kings, and then to the CO era represented by Tao Wang Zhou Lin, it is undeniable that as an outpost of the collision of Chinese and Western cultures, Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island songs have given too many people the memories of their youth, and they have also given him too many profound and unforgettable beauty.In particular, Bay Island singers have almost always occupied Ding Ning's childhood to adolescence.And there are too many feelings in these songs.At the moment, these feelings emerge word by word into a variety of pictures.It filled his entire mind, and it fell like raindrops outside the window.Tick-tock, tink-dong.The bricks, the grass, and even the ground have become musical instruments, and the notes bounce from the eaves, dripping down from the branches, blending into the mud and dampness of the ground, and there is a melody everywhere.It is Zhou Hui sang in the agreement "The bell in the distance echoes in the rain, we hold hands under the eaves and listen", and it is also Zhou Dong sang in the secret that cannot be said "The most beautiful thing is not the rainy day, but the eaves that shelter from the rain with you".It's also the "It's raining, what to do?"
that Ra sang on a rainy day.I miss you so much".Oh, and "after the rain last night."
The humidity in the playground was heavy, and the water droplets on the basketball had not dried.The smell of the earth flowing by the rain was strong, and the smell of grass in the playground wafted to my dreams from time to time. ”Well, and a lot of many.In an instant, Ding Ning remembered a lot of songs, some of which he had written down, and some of which he hadn't.But he didn't want to find a pen or grab a tablet and write down the songs that were swirling in his head right now.For him in a hurry, he didn't want to interrupt the mood at this moment.He wanted to rest, he wanted to do nothing, just look out the window, let his thoughts drift, and weave through the rain with the scent of flowers, stretching in all directions.It's like wandering in class when you're reading."
Ding-dong."
However, there were still uninvited guests who disturbed his dreams.The doorbell rang, and he was in a bad mood for a moment, Ding Ning frowned and walked to the door.The monitor next to the door showed the face of the person who came, tall, dressed in a dark gray suit, déjà vu, and couldn't remember who it was for a while, Ding Ning asked: "May I ask who you are" "I am Dong Yuanbo, the director of Soss Music, I just heard that you are coming, so I came to visit." ”The man replied.In Ding Ning's previous life, many bigwig-level record companies in the Chinese music scene were international companies, such as Warner, Sony, etc., which were much larger than many local entertainment companies in terms of scale.However, the world is affected by the unique information revolution, the domestic entertainment industry started early, and there is policy support, local entertainment companies are far stronger than international entertainment companies, the two largest international entertainment companies in China, one is Huayin International, the other is Sos Music.Previously, Huayin International focused on the mainland market, while Soss Music was based in Hong Kong and Taiwan.From the rise of Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music to the heyday, the artists under Soss can be said to have swept most of the Chinese music scene, the most representative of which are Wei Liang and Xiang Qin.Both of them were once dominant figures in the music industry for a period of time, and the brilliance of Soth can be seen.However, after entering the new century, with the decline of Hong Kong and Taiwan music, Soss music has also gradually declined, and has been left behind by local companies based in Hong Kong and Taiwan, such as Championship and Boyan.However, the hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, the current strength of Soss Music is still not to be underestimated, after adjusting the business strategy to the mainland, Sos has cultivated a lot of newcomers in recent years, and there is a rise of hope.As long as the environment is stable, the key is people.If you can't hold people, the company will decline, and if you hold it, you can come back to life immediately, with a strong heritage, everyone thinks that Sos can make a comeback.It turned out to be Dong Yuanbo, so he said how he was so familiar, Ding Ning opened the door.Ding Ning's face was revealed in the door.Dong Yuanbo said with a smile on his face: "Don't bother" "Don't bother, please come in." ”Ding Ning smiled in response."
Hmm."
Walk inside and see this rainy day.Ding Ning actually opened the window, Dong Yuanbo was very surprised: "What."
The air in the house is not good, and the windows are still open when it rains so hard, and the rain is drifting in. ”"No", Ding Ning led Dong Yuanbo to the house: "Look at the rain scene." ”"Interested", Dong Yuanbo smiled: "Did you think of any good songs again, can you sell them to us" Dong Yuanbo is not a polite remark.Nowadays, the word that everyone in the entire music world wants most is not Li Zainian, but Ding Ning's.The song I want to ask for the most is no longer Zheng Wei, Xi Zichen and the like, but Ding Ning.The most expensive lyricist, composer and arranger in the entire music industry is none other than Ding Ning.In the pop music world, the current perception of Ding Ning is that this guy is simply a pop gold song maker, all-round and powerful, and can be windy.Sau, can be dignified.If you move like a rabbit, you are quiet like a virgin, and you are probably born with God's blessing.Write any song to be popular.It is expensive to ask for a price, and he wants a guarantee of 300,000 yuan when he opens his mouth, and he has to share it by 20% more than others, and there is no market for it, I don't know how many people have eaten the closed door in his hands.Soss Music has been rejected by Ding Ning several times before.But this time, Dong Yuanbo estimated that Ding Ning would not refuse again, because he brought generous conditions, and he came for someone Ding Ning must also want to cooperate with."
I didn't write a song, I just looked at the scenery."
Ding Ning said perfunctorily.Nothing to do is not to go to the Three Treasures Hall.As soon as he heard Dong Yuanbo's words, Ding Ning knew that he must have come with a request.Sure enough.After Dong Yuanbo took the chair from his hand and sat down, he got straight to the point and said, "Maybe you have something to do later."
I won't delay you too much, so I'll just say what I mean.Wei Liang, you should definitely know" There is no singing god after Wei Liang, how can Wei Liang's name not know, Hearing Dong Yuanbo mention Wei Liang, Ding Ning's eyebrows raised: "I know." ”Dong Yuanbo leaned back in his chair: "He has been retired for some years, but he is preparing to make a comeback recently, and I came today to invite you to sing for him."
I won't say anything long-winded, the conditions are up to you, and we have 100,000 sincerity. ”"The god of song wants to make a comeback" As soon as he heard Dong Yuanbo mention Wei Liang, Ding Ning had already guessed that it was like this.In his opinion, Wei Liang's comeback is very unwise.Some people, since they have become myths and have been canonized as gods, then it's good to stay on the god seat, and have nothing to do to play a comeback, and the probability of smashing it is at least ninety percent.Because it doesn't matter what kind of singer you are, you have been away from the music scene for so long, even if you are a god, your popularity has been over.If you like you, you are no longer the main force of consumption, and such feelings are meager, qe, and verbal, but at the level of the waist bag, you still wash and sleep.Feelings, now flooded, like Xiao Xinxin, are about to become something that many people scoff at.Even if you don't be ridiculed, most of the comebacks will only fall off the altar and become a winged angel, leaving a piece of chicken feathers that "Lian Po is old, can he still eat".Looking back on his previous life, this comeback and that comeback, but the successful ones seem to have none in Ding Ning's memory, and the bigger the name was, the more difficult it was to succeed, even those who were called successful were basically boasting.Times have been changing, and it was originally quit because of its declining popularity, and now it is not so easy to make money back.Of course, it's easy to make a little money with feelings, if you're willing to lose your identity."
Hmm."
It seems that Ding Ning also recognizes Wei Liang's title as the "God of Songs", Dong Yuanbo said with a smile: "This matter, few people know, whether you want to write songs for him or not, please keep it secret for us." ”"That's for sure."
Ding Ning paused.He actually didn't really want to buy Wei Liang's account, but Dong Yuanbo personally found it, and he still took Wei Liang's name, if he didn't buy it, it didn't seem to be very good, he thought about it and said: "I want a few songs, I don't have more."
I've been so busy lately that I can't write songs. ”Originally, of course, the more Ding Ning's songs, the better, even if the entire album is outsourced to Ding Ning, as long as Ding Ning is willing, Dong Yuanbo is 100,000 willing.But now that Ding Ning has put down his words, he can only say depressedly: "Can you provide a few songs, the comeback time we arranged for Wei Liang is tentatively scheduled for July, and then we will push a single first, you should be able to write this single" Ding Ning said: "Such an important matter, are you sure you want to leave it to me To be honest, I don't have confidence that I will be able to write a song suitable for the god of songs, his level is too high, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach it." ”This is modest, a person who can push the level of a female singer up again and again, how can he not reach the level of Wei Liang, and he just doesn't want to write.The name of the god of daring love songs didn't seem to have much weight in Ding Ning's heart, and Dong Yuanbo's heart sank: "I believe you, what song do you come up with, what song do we sing, it's sincere enough." ”This is indeed quite sincere, and Ding Ning is not good at shirking: "Cheng, then I wrote this single, the songs of the album later, it's still early, or I'll talk about it later" Ding Ning This is obviously a delaying tactic, Dong Yuanbo hurriedly said: "That's not, the single will go first, but the album will be released soon in the month, and there is not much time in the middle, it must be done together." ”Ding Ning thought for a moment and said, "Including singles, I can provide up to two songs."
Anyway, it's not good to have too much, and if my style is too obvious, it's not a good thing for the god of songs. ”Dong Yuanbo is not afraid of anything, Ding Ning's style is too obvious.What Ding Ning's style is, it is changeable.Changeable styles are a good thing, not a bad thing.Of course, if the entire album, or most of the songs, is really handed over to Ding Ning as he expected, it is really not good to think about it carefully.Now, Ding Ning is a living label, and sticking it represents fire.But because of this, whoever he writes a song to, as long as it is popular, will give people the impression that it is not the person who sings the song that sings the fire, but the person who writes the song is too awesome.Even divaas like Feng Liqin and An Keqing are unavoidable.If the whole album is Ding Ning's name, Ding Ning's limelight will definitely overshadow Wei Liang, which will backfire.But two songs are too few, Dong Yuanbo said: "One more, three lines." ”The number of two songs was originally to give Dong Yuanbo a room to advance, Ding Ning said: "Okay, then three songs."
When is the latest time for a single" Dong Yuanbo said: "Today is the 8th, can you give us de on the 20th at the latest, Wei Liang is more picky about the quality, and he will ponder a song for a long time." ”Then you have to delay the time to help Gu Xi come out with the song, but it should be down, and you can only continue, Ding Ning said: "Okay, on the 20th at the latest, I will hand over the single to you, do you have any requirements for the style?"
"Yes", Dong Yuanbo said solemnly: "To subvert, Wei Liang doesn't want to give people the impression of eating the old book, he is making a comeback, there is nothing new, there is no sense of expectation."
But it can't be too subversive, it's better to have a breakthrough in inheritance, which is why I came to you.There are a lot of subversive geeks in the entire music scene, but you are the most trendy of the geeks. ”Ding Ning smiled: "Okay, I will definitely hand over the song to you before the 20th." ”To be continued
