Ten years ago, there were three major music giants in China, namely: Taihe Lisheng, Dadi Records and Tianyi Music.

These three music companies have foreign backgrounds. Dadi Records is invested by Hong Kong people, Tianyi Music is a mainland branch of Taipei Feiyi Records, and Taihe Lisheng has the background of Warner, an international record industry giant.

It was around 2005 that with the rise of online music, the domestic record market began to shrink significantly, and the days of these three giants became difficult. Taihe Lisheng directly announced its bankruptcy in 2009, and Tianyi Music was sold to Daguo Culture by its parent company. Now only Dadi Records is still working hard to support it.

Chen Taixuan is the gold medal producer of Dadi Records. His real name is Chen Xiaofen. When he entered the industry, he changed his name. This person is famous in the domestic music circle, but he acts very low-key and basically does not appear in the public eye. Even the old bird Ke Liang did not recognize him.

As an original song program, "Good Songs in China" naturally requires professional musicians to be judged. At this time, Chen Taixuan was one of the three examiners in the audience.

"Hello, three teachers, my name is Ye Cheng. The song I want to sing is "Dongfeng Po"." The young man on the stage bowed.

As soon as the young man finished speaking, Chen Taixuan heard the contestants in the front rows of the audience whispering.

"Ye Cheng is here too. Good songs are really hidden and hiding."

"Who is Ye Cheng?"

"No, you haven't even said Ye Cheng?"

"Is he very famous?"

"This kid is in the limelight now, and four songs are on the WOWO Music New Songs Weekly List at the same time."

"I don't know how powerful it is."

"Have you heard of "The First Experience of Love"?"

"I've heard it, it's not him who sang it?"

"What do you think?"

"My grass, this guy is awesome."

“…”

Chen Taixuan listened to the buzzing sound behind him and smiled at the producer Zhao Changbo next to him, saying, "It seems that this student is very famous."

Zhao Changbo still remembers the information about Ye Cheng, and he smiled and said, "A little online singer, I have heard the demo of "Dongfeng Po", and this song is very thoughtful."

Chen Taixuan had never heard of Ye Cheng's name. He nodded and said, "You have to see the singing effect."

As a program producer, Zhao Changbo is actually not doing his job here, including funding, advertising, publicity, external communication, etc. He has to ask about all kinds of work. Even if he drinks with the leaders of the government and TV stations in a hotel, he is more in line with his identity than being an examiner here.

But Zhao Changbo insisted on being here and personally took charge of the audition of more than 300 original songs. His move made the director Jin Lei very upset - you've been here forever, how can I be the director?

"Let's start." Chen Taixuan said to Ye Cheng on the stage.

Ye Cheng nodded to the band, and the accompaniment of "Dongfeng Po" quickly rang out.

The prelude at the beginning was piano accompaniment, and then the violin joined in... No, it wasn't a violin, it was an erhu!

Chen Taixuan's eyes lit up suddenly. He began to think that the young man on the stage was interesting, and he actually played the Western piano with the Chinese erhu together.

Not only that, after halfway through "Dongfeng Po", Chen Taixuan heard the tone of guitar, yangqin, pipa and guzheng one after another, and the overall arrangement idea was fully displayed. Guitar and piano are the main accompaniment instruments, while pipa exists as the main melody. Two Western instruments and four Chinese classical instruments actually match perfectly, giving people a natural feeling.

If it were an ordinary listener, they would only think that "Dongfengpo" is nice, the lyrics are written in ancient style and the melody of the song is also great. But if professionals come to listen, the first thing they notice is the arrangement of "Dongfengpo", which is too whimsical, too bold and creative!

Although not everyone knows how to arrange the music, they basically have a little understanding of the music. At this time, when they heard Ye Cheng's "Dongfeng Po", they were all stunned - Damn, can the music still be played like this?

"This guy is so arrogant!"

"What's good about it? It's just to make up all kinds of musical instruments."

"You are jealous. If you don't master the Eastern and Western musical instruments, you will definitely not be able to make up this effect."

"I think he was a song written by someone. What kind of skills can he have at a young age?"

"Yes, I will ask someone to make it up."

“…”

The audience was already noisy and noisy. Ye Guotao pointed at Ye Cheng on the stage and asked in surprise: "Liangzi, you little brother are not simple, who wrote the song for "Dongfeng Po"?"

Ke Liang chuckled and said, "He wrote this song himself, Huazi and I can't help me even if I want to help."

"This... this is so awesome!" Ye Guotao could not find any words to describe the shock in his heart at this moment. He has been playing music for nearly twenty years, and has been exposed to rock, blues, hip-hop, pop and other styles, but this is the first time he encountered someone who was crazy about making up Chinese and Western-style instruments together.

Perhaps some people have tried to combine Chinese and Western music in the past, but basically they are mainly Western music, and Chinese instruments are just embellishments (because Chinese classical instruments do not conform to the twelve equal rhythms). Ye Cheng’s bold arrangement this time is that he uses the pipagiant as the main melody, while the piano and guitar become the main accompaniment.

Ye Guotao's shock made Ke Liang quite proud. He pointed at Ye Cheng on the stage and smiled: "Do you think you are very genius? I rarely misjudgment."

Being able to discover a musical genius in the vast crowd is the most proud thing that Ke Liang has in the past decade. There are often horses in a thousand miles, but not often Bo Le. Ke Liang is very happy to be this Bo Le.

The trial singing was not a knockout contest for the talent show. After Ye Cheng finished singing "Dongfeng Po", the three examiners asked two questions about the background of the song creation and asked him to go on and wait for news.

Ye Cheng bowed to the audience, turned around and thanked the band's teacher, and then walked off the stage with brisk steps. He felt that he performed well today and would be selected if nothing unexpected happens.

Other test singers had different attitudes towards Ye Cheng. Some of them were self-righteous and disdained to communicate with Ye Cheng. Some were also very enthusiastic. After Ye Cheng stepped down, they rushed up and scrambled to say hello to Ye Cheng and shake hands.

A young man in his 20s handed over a business card and said happily: "Hello Ye Cheng, I like your "Dongfeng Po". This is my business card. I hope I can communicate more in the future."

Ye Cheng put away his business card and smiled: "Hello, hello, please contact me often in the future."

Another beautiful girl squeezed over and said, "Hello, Teacher Ye, I am Cheng Xue from Shen Yang Conservatory of Music. Is it not convenient for Fang to leave a phone number? I have some arrangement questions and I want to ask you for advice."

"Save the WOWO number and communicate with each other in the future." Ye Cheng wrote her his WOWO number.

There was also a man in his thirties who patted Ye Cheng's shoulders familiarly and said, "Xiao Ye is not bad. I like your song "When You Are Old". This song "Dongfeng Po" is also very good!"

"Thank you for your praise!" Ye Cheng replied with a smile.

After greeting more than ten people one after another, Ye Cheng returned to his seat. As soon as he sat down, a staff member came over and handed him a note.

Ye Cheng opened the note and saw it read: "My friend Ye Cheng, Chen Taixuan, is very optimistic about the song "Dongfeng Po". If you have any intention, please go to room 8652 of Grand Hyatt Hotel after 9 o'clock in the evening to meet."

Ye Cheng handed the note to Ke Liang and asked, "Who is Chen Taixuan?"

"It turns out that he is Chen Taixuan," Ke Liang smiled after reading the note, and said, "You can go to his place to sit in the evening."

Ye Guotao said enviously: "Chen Taixuan, Xiao Ye, you are going to develop this time."

By eight o'clock in the evening, basically all the songs had been tried.

Zhao Changbo said to Jin Lei and Chen Taixuan: "Go to have a meal first, and try to select the song tomorrow or the next."

Chen Taixuan shook his head: "I made an appointment with someone, you guys go."

After Chen Taixuan left, Zhao Changbo said helplessly: "Old Chen is still like this. He doesn't give anyone any face. Now he can't even invite him to have dinner."

Jin Lei smiled and said, "Haha, Brother Chen is a person with temperament."

Zhao Changbo and Jin Lei packed their things and walked out. The former asked, "How is the test sing today?"

Jin Lei praised without any concealment: "The East Wind Break is so amazing. I want to use this song as a finale. What do you think?"
