China News Service, September 24 (Zhongxin Finance Wu Jiaju) In recent years, the rhythm and brainwashing song "Ordinary DISCO" has been "out of the circle" several times and has entered people's attention many times.
Who is his original author?
What was the opportunity to create this song?
How does he feel about the multiple "out of the circle" of this song?
Recently, the original author of the song Yang Yu (B station ID: ilem) and his agency were interviewed by Zhongxin Finance.
Yang Zhen: The inspiration for the birth of "Ordinary DISCO" came from the classroom
According to public information, "Ordinary DISCO" is an original VOCALOID Chinese song submitted by Yang Wei to station B in 2015.
VOCALOID is an electronic music production speech synthesis software. Input the pitch and lyrics in the software, and you can synthesize the original human voice.
"Ordinary DISCO" is a song written and composed by Yang Zhi using the sound sources of virtual singers Luo Tianyi and Yan He.
Since its birth, "Ordinary DISCO" has been "out of the circle" many times, and it has more than 16 million views on station B.
Yang Yu introduced that the inspiration for the creation of this song came from the classroom. During the basic mechanics class, the teacher knocked on the blackboard and said that the next thing is the most important workpiece in the whole course, and this workpiece is called ordinary screw.
"The most important workpiece is the ordinary screw, which is very contrasting." Then he took this as an opportunity to write "Ordinary DISCO".
In addition to "Ordinary DISCO", Yang Zhi's "Dalabang" and other songs are also popular on the Internet.
Why can "Ordinary DISCO" and "Dalabang" be out of the circle?
Yang Yu said that maybe these two songs are relatively light-hearted and fun.
"The popularity of these songs has something to do with many factors, and it has something to do with whether they were seen by important people at that time, or whether they were re-created. There are even many 'metaphysical' things, such as where Contributed by God."
"Ordinary DISCO" has also been covered by Phoenix Legend, Wang Feng, Li Yuchun and other singers.
In this regard, Yang Yu said, "Maybe I wrote it well, and the song is very nice. But it may be a coincidence that it was just a coincidence that it was just heard, and they just thought it was good."

What are the advantages of using a virtual singer?
In recent years, many songs created with VOCALOID have entered people's attention.
What are the advantages of this form?
Yang Yu said that in fact, he used VOCALOID to create at the beginning because he didn't have much at hand. Either he sang by himself, or he used this form to create.
"Using VOCALOID also has its advantages." Yang Yu said that in the creative process, every time an idea is passed on, the original idea will be discounted a little, because many things cannot be communicated.
No matter how tacit understanding you have with others, the final realization will definitely be different from the original idea.
"
"Using a virtual singer is equivalent to one less process. You can follow your own ideas, trim every detail, every word, and every place according to the original meaning, so that you can express your ideas more completely."
Using virtual singers to create, how to "according to local conditions"?
Yang Yu said that he needs to imagine what the virtual singer will do when he sings, and whether to give him some suitable points to play.
Songs created with VOCALOID are sometimes considered a separate category.
In this regard, Yang Yu said that some people would prefer to listen to those who understand him, but from the perspective of music producers, they still hope to treat it as a song, as a singer singing.
"The producers of the software have also been working hard to make more people accept this kind of voice, which is not bad in terms of results. From a personal point of view, I hope that the difference will become smaller and smaller in the future."
"Open license for non-commercial entrepreneurship and innovation"
At present, in addition to commercial use, there are many secondary creation phenomena in Yang Zhen's original songs.
In this regard, Yang Zhi said that before he became a music producer, he was the UP master of station B all the time, and now he is, so the acceptance of everyone playing together is still very high.
Emotionally speaking, I hope that the more the second creation, the better, but I hope not to mess with the law and discipline.
"I prefer the kind of second-generation works that use the whole song," Yang Yu said, for example: as background music, cover songs, etc.
If it is to rewrite the lyrics and re-arrange the music, you will bring yourself into the perspective of investigation, you will unconsciously compare it with it, and you will not relax.
Shanghai Lemo Fanhua Culture Development Co., Ltd., Yang Yu's brokerage company, also stated that the second creation of the company's creators' works is actually more non-commercial. This is also a way of musical communication.
The company also stated that it will register the copyrights of all musical works of its creators, regularly monitor the use of copyrights on different platforms, and accept monitoring and reporting at the same time.
