Chapter 109 Panda Band
The current reality is that the creation of Chinese music is a bit inconsistent, which has led to a bit of fatigue in the past two or three years.
After being stimulated by Zheng Rui in the past two or three months, there have been signs of returning to Suzhou.
The older generation of creators gradually withdrew, some have already stopped writing, some have not kept up with the trend of the times, have been eliminated, and some have been in a semi-retreated state.
For example, their Rolling Stone Music, the music master who was worshipped in the past, has decreased in terms of output and song quality, after all, it has reached a certain age.
Other music creators are not very powerful, and they are also an important factor in the decline of the Rolling Stones.
The new generation of creators is still learning to walk and not reaching a certain level. Of course, Zheng Rui is an exception. Moreover, the music created by the younger generation is somewhat in conflict with the tradition of Rolling Stones.
Young people today don’t seem to be very interested in rock and roll, and they just do hip-hop all day long. But this is not what their company’s singers are good at, so no particularly popular works have been released in the past two years.
Qian Bao’s plan is to build Zheng Rui into a new generation of music creators in their company.
He has studied Zheng Rui's music. Overall, the style is still the style of old songs, which is very suitable for their company's philosophy. In addition, judging from the songs Zheng Rui, the market response is also extremely good.
Qian Bao knew that as long as the quality was right, there was no saying that music was outdated. The radicals of the company were clamoring for reform every day, adapting to the trend of the times, developing diversified music, and focusing on creating hip-hop culture.
However, how easy is to say reform? Many singers have already established themselves.
Many old singers, groups, and bands in the company have their own style labels. Can they change them at will? They will fail in minutes!
Unfortunately, Zheng Rui clearly rejected his request. Qian Bao could only settle for the second best and everyone cooperated with each other.
Before he came to meet Zheng Rui, he was entrusted to ask Zheng Rui to help write a rock song. It was a relatively important band in their company and soon celebrated its 30th anniversary concert.
They hope that by then they can come up with a good song and give it back to those fans who still silently support themselves.
"It's best for the band," Qian Bao added.
Zheng Rui's heart moved: "Panda Band?"
The Panda Band is an old band. When it was established, Zheng Rui was not born. When he was young, the band was brilliant and often listened to their songs.
Once upon a time, this band represented China and once made a breakthrough in Asia.
However, at the most glorious moment, a member of the band suddenly passed away. He has been unable to cheer up for the past ten years, and even news of his intention to disband.
Qian Bao nodded and said heavily: "Well! After Huang Anhua left, the band lost one core."
Huang Anhua is the music creator of Panda Band. He is specialized in writing songs that suit his band and is one of the core characters of the band. His death is undoubtedly a huge blow to the band.
Another core member is Huang Anhua's brother Huang Zhenhua, the band's lead singer. With his unique hoarse voice and trembling at the end, he became the most powerful superstar in China at that time.
But good singers are destined to be lost in the public without good music.
Huang Zhenhua was actually a little discouraged because of his brother's death. Over the years, there have been fewer and fewer concerts, but he was obsessed with doing various charity activities.
The company plans to hold a concert for them for the 30th anniversary, but Huang Zhenhua is still hesitant. Should he keep cooking the cold rice from the past? It seems to be a feeling of sympathy and selling feelings, which makes him feel uncomfortable.
"What a pity! Our band is almost going to become a palace-level band." Qian Bao's tone revealed infinite regret.
If Huang Anhua did not die, this band might be a cultural symbol of the Chinese band.
"Zhenhua has high requirements for songs. The company invited him a lot of songs, but he looked down on them. Some time ago, he listened to your "Ordinary Road" and praised them very much, so..."
So they think that Huang Zhenhua should not refuse the songs written by Zheng Rui.
In fact, there were two songs that could be popular, but they were both turned down by Huang Zhenhua in the style that was not suitable for their band, which made the company very helpless.
Listening to Qian Bao's words, Zheng Rui thought of another time and space - a band on Earth, which was surprisingly consistent.
Of course, there are also big differences. The band on Earth seems to be said to be the death of the lead singer, which led to the decline and disbandment. They are also a pair of brothers, but the band, the lead singer and the creator there are both the same person, so when the soul character leaves, the band is completely difficult to support.
Unlike the Panda Band in their world, at least the lead singer is still there, the band will not completely lose value.
Zheng Rui also knew very well that fans were waiting for the band to cheer up again, which was the expectation of many fans.
He also included several songs from the band on Earth, but took them out directly, otherwise it would seem too worthless. After all, he also liked those songs very much.
So he shook his head: "I haven't considered the band's song for a long time. But since you said it, I can try it."
Qian Bao was not surprised by this answer and knew about Zheng Rui. He used to be a group, but that was also his sad thing, so it was normal for the band to not write the group, and the band's songs were also normal.
Just as he was about to speak, his cell phone suddenly rang. When he saw the caller ID, his face couldn't help but look surprised.
Say sorry to Zheng Rui, then walked aside to answer: "Zhenhua, what's the matter? I'm talking to Zheng Rui about your song."
In private, he and Huang Zhenhua are actually very good friends. However, the one who asked him to ask Zheng Rui to write the song was not Huang Zhenhua, but Huang Zhenhua's agent.
The two muttered for a while, and Qian Bao handed the phone to Zheng Rui: "Zhenhua wants to talk to you, do you mind?"
Zheng Rui quickly shook his head: "My honor! Hello Brother Hua!"
Huang Zhenhua's voice was very special. Even if he spoke normally, his voice still tasted the same, slightly hoarse.
"Haha! Brother Rui, I'll call you that too! Don't be so restrained. Lezai told me that you are an easy-going person. Unfortunately, so too, so everyone should be at will..."
Huang Zhenhua speaks very gently, as if he is talking to an old friend, giving people a very comfortable feeling. No wonder he is called the most popular person in the entertainment industry.
He called, mainly because he wanted to say a few words to Zheng Rui in person, otherwise he would feel too insincere.
In addition, let Zheng Rui relax and do a favor if you can write, and don’t force it too much. In fact, I don’t want to put pressure on Zheng Rui.
"If you have time, come to Hong Kong Island and everyone will exchange music. "Ordinary Road" and "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" are great..."
