⊙Introduction to Chen Shangshi

★About Chen Shangshi

As for himself, he prides himself on being a sociable person. He admitted that he was not good at dealing with people. When I was a student, even though I got along well with the classmates and teachers around me, it did not mean that it was a kind of communication ability, it was just a way of life. Communicative ability is the ability to be versatile and flexible when you go out into society. He said that he is not a person who expresses his feelings easily. Compared to external performance and communication, he prefers to stay at home quietly, immersed in his own quiet space, playing the piano, writing songs, looking for musical inspiration, creating his favorite R&B, and composing his own music.

While still in school, Ryan showed his love and talent for music creation. In his spare time, he has slowly begun to try his own music and composition, and has begun to participate in the behind-the-scenes production of theme songs for some movies, online dramas and musicians.

When talking about the source of inspiration for his music creation, Ryan said it was mainly when he was alone at home. Like many singer-songwriters, Ryan’s work requires inspiration. On days when he had no inspiration, he said that no matter how much he wrote, he couldn't express his feelings. He kept making changes as he wrote, but he was still not satisfied. If he is in a hurry to write a song but the inspiration has not arrived, he has no choice but to lock himself in the room and force himself to write to find inspiration. He said that at this time, he can only say to himself, he must write. Come out, I must write it out tonight... At this point, Ryan revealed a helpless smile. Looking at his faint bitter smile, it seems that he also saw the pain of racking his brains in those creative days when he had no inspiration. But his wry smile only flashed by, and soon he smiled again and told us that if he had inspiration, he could write the song within two minutes. The theme song "Guardian Angel" of the online drama "Angel without Wings" was written when inspiration suddenly struck. According to him, he was still a student at the time, and one day he was walking on the school road. As he was walking, he suddenly had inspiration. He immediately went home and wrote it down, and thus he came up with this song. With the broadcast of the online drama, he moved so many people. The birth of the Cybermen theme song.

★About Chen Shangshi and Yip Sai Wing

About him and Sai Wing, Ryan said with a smile that Sai Wing is both his master and his boss. He and Shirong are more about Shirong's appreciation and his luck.

Yip Sai Wing, the drummer of the popular Hong Kong pop rock band Beyond in the 1980s, a famous musician with a glorious history and outstanding contributions to the Hong Kong music scene; Chen Shangshi, a new local R&B singer from Guangzhou in the 1990s , a talented local singer-songwriter. Two musicians from different eras, two singer-songwriters with completely different musical styles, two musicians from different eras, different styles and different regions, two seemingly parallel lines, what brings them together and intersect? Ryan said that it was the creation of music that made Shirong know him, discover him and sign him to his name.

Because he has been involved in behind-the-scenes production of music for movies, TV series, etc. since he was a student. This work experience allowed the young Ryan to get to know many people in the music industry. Through some similar music friends, when Ryan's work was presented to Shirong, Shirong thought it was good and admired his music creation. He quickly signed a contract with him and recruited Ryan to his name.

When asked about the master's past achievements and master's achievements, Ryan said with a shy smile whether he has ambitions to surpass the master and influence him. A driving force of one's own. However, now in his mind, Shirong has a sacred godfather status. After all, Shirong has worked in this music scene for so long, paid so much, and influenced many people. It is difficult to surpass his achievements in a short time. . Currently, Shirong is still influencing him in all aspects.

In the past, he just liked to make and play music quietly by himself; but now, under the influence of Shirong, he has become accustomed to playing live music and live band. Ryan said that playing Live and Live Band music was something he had never thought about before, but now he likes Live and can even be said to be obsessed with Live.

Ryan said that Shirong is a very nice person. As his musical leader, Shirong taught him a lot from making music to being a human being, and gave him great care and concern in all aspects. Help and guide him slowly on the road to real music.

Shirong is a musician who is very dedicated to music, persistently pursuing his creation and his rock music. Ryan also admitted that at the beginning, Shirong didn't like his R&B music style as much as rock and roll, but he would try to accept Ryan's R&B style and R&B music, and would discuss it with him and give him opinions. . He said that this was Shirong's support and encouragement for his music career. He would also persevere in his own music creation and persist in his R&B career.

★About his future music path

I signed a contract under the name of the famous Hong Kong musician Yip Sai Wing, and asked Ryan if he intended to be a member of this company, as well as the same Guangzhou native singer Zhang Jingxuan When entering the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene and entering the Hong Kong and Taiwan market, Ryan confidently gave us the answer in the affirmative. Ryan revealed that his debut new album was produced by some of the same production teams from Hong Kong that had been producing albums for Beyond, and was recorded in the back seat on the second floor of Beyond's official recording studio.

The recording studio in the back room on the second floor witnessed the entire Beyond band go from an underground heavy metal rock band to the stage to become a brilliant and famous music rock group that influenced almost a generation. In the back studio on the second floor, people are professional and proud. Ryan said that he felt a little pressure when he looked at the Beyond band’s platinum albums, major honorary awards, etc. displayed in the back studio on the second floor. But there was more. is motivation. He said that he is a reserved person. Even when he was studying, he would not tell his mother how much better he would do in the exam. He would only tell his mother with his report card. He can really do well in the exam. Ryan said that he is not good at telling people how much better he has to do and how much better he must do. He will only bury it all in his heart. He will only speak with actions. He uses actions. Let his results tell everyone that he is a confident, capable and goal-oriented person, and he can really do very well.

Although he is not a music major, his gifted understanding of music, his passion for music creation, and the appreciation of his music creation by many musicians, everything makes people admire this young singer. The singer-songwriter glanced sideways.

This is a lucky young man, a talented singer-songwriter, and a restrained and capable new singer. Let us look forward to his musical journey going further.
