The program team lost contact, and the character of Desert Island Live was reversed

Chapter 143: Pseudonym, creating a legendary story on the crown

During the online debate, Su Zhegang and the foreign aid team finished writing the arrangement of "Farewell".

This is the biggest challenge Su Zhe has faced since starting his career——

Just copy the previous songs. The only change Su Zhe made was to change 4 words in "Like Me". It was just to better fit his experience and to abuse fans more, not for the quality of the work.

But "Farewell" is different. If it were copied directly, there wouldn't even be an arrangement, which would not conform to the form of modern music.

Even the original song of "Farewell", "Dreaming of Home and Mother", is not very famous in the United States, and the melody cannot be said to be particularly strong.

It can only be said that Li Shutong is so awesome that he single-handedly achieved the status of "Farewell".

Su Zhe wants to improve the level of melody and arrangement as much as possible. He does not seek to be worthy of the lyrics of "Farewell", but just wants more people to appreciate the charm of the classic.

"It still has some craftsmanship." Su Zhe looked at the final product and sighed helplessly, "It's not worthy of the lyrics."

The foreign aid groups praised one after another:

"Teacher Su, it's already very good! It's just that the lyrics are too outstanding."

"Yes, it's already great."

Su Zhe is not a perfectionist, so he still decided to record songs and upload them. However, after finishing his retreat, he just checked Weibo and saw relevant public opinions.

"Huh? How come you have become the hope of the art world for no reason?" He was a little confused.

Su Zhe could only make up for it from scratch. After seeing Ma Qian's "masterpiece", he couldn't help but show an extremely shocked expression.

Look at the system again——

[Completely dismantling Ma Qian’s character: the poet]

[Drawing Reward: Equestrian (Top Level)]

Mounting one's horse to kill the enemy, dismounting one's horse and writing poetry, it is quite romantic.

But Su Zhe always feels that this kind of public opinion is not good and can easily offend people——

It doesn't matter if you offend Ma Qian. As the saying goes, the person who teases you first is cheap, and the other person will offend you first. You deserve it!

There is no need to be afraid of him. If he has great power and ability, he will not enjoy himself in a small circle.

But Su Zhe was used as a gun to mock the entire art circle?

No matter how awesome a person is, he can't stand this kind of flattery!

Su Zhe was worried about the backlash and immediately contacted Yan Xiling.

Yan Xiling had a wide network of contacts and contacted reporters from literary newspapers and conducted an exclusive online interview with Su Zhe——

Reporter: “What do you think of the comments on the Internet?”

Su Zhe: "Thank you all for your love, but I am sincerely afraid. I am just writing songs conscientiously. I dare not say that I hope the music circle will, let alone the art circle."

Reporter: "Compared with other domestic poets, who do you think is more powerful?"

Su Zhe immediately became energetic. If he didn't copy these words, he would be worthy of being a time traveler:

"This era will not stop you from shining, but you cannot cover anyone else's brilliance."

The reporter was taken aback for a moment, but succeeded in finding no cause for trouble, and asked unwillingly:

"Then how do you evaluate Ma Qian?"

Su Zhe was silent, couldn't help but look at the camera and grinned.

After the video was posted online, this laugh immediately made everyone burst into laughter:

[Hahaha, Su Zhe also has nothing to say. 】

[No matter how high your emotional intelligence is, you can’t hold back your laughter. 】

[Okay, everyone, please stop praising him. Su Zhe has such a high emotional intelligence, so don’t bring him trouble again. 】

[Su Zhe is really sober. After all, he has been injured before. No matter how angry he is now, he will not drift away. 】

[Emotional intelligence is too high! "This era will not stop you from shining, but you can't cover anyone else's brilliance" can be copied into your composition as a famous quote! 】

A small storm passed, and Su Zhe also received a small reward:

[High emotional intelligence (82%)]

Then he immediately uploaded "Farewell" to divert everyone's attention.

After uploading the music, the foreign aid groups yawned, said goodbye and left.

The photographers also turned off their cameras and left.

Su Zhe did not leave, but looked at the system and thought to himself——

【King of Ballads(31%)】

After he obtained this title, he published some royal ballads, but the percentage did not move at all.

While he doesn't care about the rewards that come with the title (archery), the title itself represents honor.

Once it reaches 100% and solidification is completed, he will be able to enter the history of Chinese music!

But if you want to be king, it seems that just singing songs is not enough.

Just like he showed his strong survival and fighting abilities on a desert island, his percentage of [the most powerful man in the circle] was still only 91%, and later even slowly dropped to around 80%. This is a shortcoming that has not been solidified.

Why? Prefixes like king, first, and best are not that simple.

"In addition to singing, what else do you need?"

Su Zhe thought to himself:

The number of works, awards, album classics, and...

legend?

For example, Michael in the sports world had a flu battle, and Michael in the music world had fans fainting at his concerts.

Su Zhe thought about it slowly, and then thought of Lu Yiwen's provocation. Although he was making trouble out of nothing, he also represented the thoughts of some black people——

Su Zhe's ballads are all promoted on variety shows, and his level is not very high! Not as good as underground musicians.

This is like a lot of stall literature, where they insist that the underground boxing champion is better than Tyson, but they don’t bother to make hundreds of millions of dollars, and they just want to risk being beaten to death in black boxing to make thousands of dollars.

There are also claims that streetball masters have completely destroyed the NBA and underground singers are more popular than Su Zhe. They are not mainstream. Su Zhe is too lazy to deal with these weirdos.

But since it affected the progress of [King of Folk Songs], he was not satisfied.

After thinking about it, he suddenly had inspiration:

"I might as well post a song under a pseudonym. It will become popular due to the quality of the song. It will leave Heizi speechless and create a legendary story!"

But he couldn't just change his name, it would be too deliberate. He had to find a suitable reason to add a convincing beginning to this legendary story.

He thought about it for a while and thought to himself:

"The time to test your acting skills is here!"

I saw him frowning in the recording studio and muttering to himself:

"Will one day, like Ma Qian, I will be wrapped in flowers and applause all the time, losing my self-knowledge? Will I write a mediocre work, but it will be praised by fans, and I will die on my own? What do you think is the greatest work?"

No one heard his "private" emotion, only the cold recording studio equipment and the surveillance cameras overhead witnessed it.

Under the surveillance camera, Su Zhe gradually made up his mind:

"Give it a try, publish a new song anonymously, and re-experience the difficult situation of an independent musician starting out without fans or marketing."

"In this way, as long as I see its bleak data, I know that I don't deserve to be floating! There are still many outstanding musicians in the world who are buried, but they are not as lucky as me."

He sat at the table, took out a notebook, revised and drew on the draft, and finally wrote three words——

"Nan Shan Nan"!

This is a ballad with very polarizing reviews:

People who like it call it a ballad that perfectly blends talent and melody talent. It is the most out-of-the-circle folk ballad model and the best ballad single that is highly sung;

People who hate it say it is delicate and artificial, and they don't know what it means. They will even say "Go away and listen to Ma Di" when they despise the folk song novice.

Su Zhe is not so extreme.

If asked to evaluate it, he thinks "Nan Shan Nan" is a good song, but the lyrics are indeed full of rhetoric and flashy.

If a good ballad can express the emotions in the hearts of the singer and the audience, then "Nanshan Nan" relies almost entirely on its beautiful melody and gorgeous words to attract people.

There is nothing to criticize. Whether it goes deep into one's heart has never been the only criterion for evaluating a song; and the beauty of music and words have always been beautiful things that people pursue.

But there is neither story nor emotion. In Su Zhe's heart, "Nan Shan Nan" is just a pop song wrapped in a folk song.

With his current reputation as the King of Folk Songs and his abundance of popular songs, he originally didn't want to copy this song.

But since it was published under a pseudonym, "Nan Shan Nan" became the best choice.

After Su Zhe made up his mind, he recorded the tracks of various instruments alone in the recording studio. After getting ready, he stood in the recording studio.

The change of voice I drew earlier is useful.

I saw that he deliberately lowered his voice, like a bubble sound, which made the vibration of the vocal cords more fine, creating a charming grainy texture.

After the recording was completed, he completed the mixing, post-production, and mastering work himself.

He stayed up until almost dawn before finishing all these trivial tasks, thinking to himself:

"Fortunately, I have acquired almost a complete set of recording studio skills so that I can complete the recording alone. But in the future, I'll let others earn the money. It's too tiring."

What’s the use of making money if you don’t spend it and do everything yourself?

And there are not many musicians who can support themselves, so let’s leave something to eat for them.

After he finished all the work, he created a new trumpet on various major music platforms, thought about it for a while, and named it——

Nursing home poet.

It's both self-deprecating and a little proud.

After he uploaded "Nan Shan Nan", he stretched and walked out of the recording studio, just in time to see the rising sun, shining brightly.

He was slightly dizzy for a moment and put his hand on his forehead.

At this time, the photographer went to work, immediately turned on the camera, recorded this scene, and asked in surprise:

"Teacher Su, are you here so early?"

Su Zhe just smiled:

"Please take half a day off for me and record again in the afternoon. I'm so sleepy, go catch up on some sleep!"

The reason for the pseudonym has been explained, and Su Zhe will not suffer any loss. Think about it, a group of fans are wildly praising how great the nursing home poet is, the newcomers are all monsters, and only Su Zhe knows the truth, which is secretly refreshing! When the answer was revealed at the end, everyone was dumbfounded, which was even more exciting!
