I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 6 I'm Not a Rapper
Yang Di’s style is to cause trouble!
"Making trouble" is a neutral word. In variety shows, it is often a positive word, the purpose is to increase the number of shots...

He asks questions, you answer, and the camera naturally focuses on you!

If your answer is brilliant, then... I will definitely keep it for later.

Of course, if you can’t answer it… that’s because you are not capable enough.

Therefore, many venomous characters are actually very popular...

By the way, being venomous and cursing are two different things. The so-called venomous tongue is to step on other people's weak points sharply and accurately, so as to show one's intelligence and personality. The sarcastic tone is to tell others "I see through your little secret". Cursing is without any rules and purpose, simply because you are unhappy with others...

The most typical example is Jin Xing, she just curses people, doesn't care if what she says is right or not, and always says "no works"...

Many times, she doesn't even understand the people she is scolding.

Just following the crowd and scolding others...

Back to the topic, Shen Liang knew that Yang Di wanted to give him more shots, and the guests at the scene also knew his purpose, so he deliberately asked, "Who is it?"

"Did you get into an argument with your mentor during the talent show?"

Shen Liang quickly explained: "We didn't quarrel, I just didn't agree with what he said..."

Zhang Yu asked, "What did he say?"

Shen Liang said: "He said that Chinese music is very melodious, with chords like 4536251 everywhere... I couldn't hold it in anymore and objected a few times..."

After a pause, Shen Liang expanded on his story and said, "Popular music is essentially a commodity. It is different from classical music. With the development of classical music today, there is no need to cater to the market and please the audience. Composers only need to write what they want to write, so they can write very grand works.

But pop music is different. The point of pop music is to attract your attention in a short period of time and make you remember it.

Therefore, pop music must constantly repeat itself while constantly introducing new materials, creating a sense of freshness while repeating. Therefore, the phenomenon of overlapping chords does exist, but this is common all over the world. It is not only Chinese pop music that has the phenomenon of overlapping chords. European and American pop music is even worse affected. The phenomenon of overlapping chords is much more serious than that of Chinese pop music.

At least Chinese has different routines such as Canon Progression, Kingly Progression, 4536, Root Descending, etc.

If you pay attention to Billboard for a long time, you will find that although European and American pop songs have been following the 1645 pattern for many years, the melodies are very simple and catchy, and the instrumentation is also very simple...

...He is a niche pop singer, so why should he represent the masses... and question the masses?"

Qian Feng 'had bad intentions': "You said he was a minority?"

Shen Liang directly retorted: "Then tell me about his masterpiece~"

"…I…I usually only listen to Jay Chou…"

Shen Liang simply asked the back: "How many audience members like his music?"

The audience was very respectful: "No!"

Zhang Yu immediately asked: "Who is he?"

Yang Di approached him and whispered: "Hua Chenyu..."

Zhang Yu was confused: "Who is Hua Chenyu?"

The audience burst into laughter, and Wang Han explained: "She is a singer... Huahua is still working very hard!"

"Effort, advanced, avant-garde, independent, these are all good words, but these words are not in conflict with good sound..." At this point, Shen Liang smiled and said, "If it doesn't sound good, then it can only be a problem of ability! My song "Sad Land" is also very advanced, with soul+R&B standard configuration and jazz added... The number of views has exceeded 6 million, bringing me more than eight figures in copyright fees..."

Zhang Yu was puzzled: "What song is "Sadly"? "

Shen Liang looked at the production team: "Is there any music? I'll sing!"

"Yes!" Then, it's time to show off your talents...

'I used to be the restless river

Walking through the forest and straying into your heart
I camped without a plan, left all the right and wrong behind, and never came back…'

……

After listening, Zhang Yu applauded: "It's really good. I find that your skills are really amazing. What's the highest note you can sing?"

Shen Liang scratched his head: "I don't know...but I think my skills are just so-so, not as good as many seniors!"

Yang Di: "Senior? Who?"

Shen Liang answered seriously: "Teacher Na Ying and Zhang Huimei... I used to despise them... I thought they were not singer-songwriters... Later, after I learned a little bit about music, I admired them even more..."

"What do you admire?"

"When you listen to them singing, no matter what song they sing, they seem to sing very easily and freely, like flowing clouds and running water. They can handle every word and sentence in a song naturally, but you can't hear the difficulty. This is a result of their solid foundation, not superficial glamour. Especially Na Ying, the timbre of her voice is almost exactly the same in low and high notes, her pronunciation is clear, there is no breathing sound, and she can reach the high notes easily and in her real voice..."

Yang Di interrupted: "No one else can compare? What about Faye Wong?"

Shen Liang begged for mercy: "Don't bother me anymore, let's talk about this in private!"

Liu Wei suddenly said, "Speaking of this year's talent shows, I think the most popular one should be The Rap of China, right?"

“Can we talk about this topic?” Yang Di was the one who spoke. He looked at Wang Han, who said casually, “It’s okay, just cut it when the time comes!”

"Has Shen Liang also watched The Rap of China?"

"I watched two episodes...I didn't like it..."

"why?"

Shen Liang thought for a moment, and then said, "The hip-hop circle is quite filthy. People in the circle are less "pure" than each other. Their private lives are extremely chaotic, and the works they create are extremely vulgar. Many people write all the absurd things in their lives into songs, and they are exaggerated to an astonishing degree. This kind of thing is actually not suitable for being on the stage... If it is non-mainstream and niche, it doesn't matter, but now through "The Rap of China", this group of people are being sought after, and the so-called true nature and foul language are proud of by many people... This is definitely not okay..."

At this point, Shen Liang casually began to rap: "...You are also a rapper, he is also a rapper, you are all rappers, but I am not a rapper..."

“…Just one sentence?”

Shen Liang was speechless: "I'm not a rapper... why would I write this?"

"Diss them!"

"I'm sick. They didn't provoke me. Why would I diss them?" After saying that, Shen Liang looked at the director and said, "Cut out that part. They are very popular in the hip-hop circle. I'm really afraid of their fans!"

"Okay," Wang Han returned the topic: "This proposal ends here. Xue Fu, whose proposal do you want to hear?"

"I?"

Guo Xuefu was stunned for a moment, as if she had just woken up, and then said: "Tian Yuan!"

Then Tian Yuan stood up and talked about the topic of parents being defrauded...

This is a good topic, and a group of people started discussing it. Some said, "My dad was fooled into buying health products before, and he spent a lot of money to fill the whole room with them. They were called bitter mineral water melted from Antarctic ice, and they said drinking it could prevent cancer..." Some said, "He was fooled out of a large sum of money by a Ponzi scheme, which was about a project of the National Grain Administration, collecting grain and selling it to Americans, using RMB to make US dollars..."

It was Shen Liang's turn. He told a 'true' story: "My parents were not cheated, but my classmates were cheated of tens of thousands..."
