Chapter 105: Are You Really Xiao Xu?
The information Yang Dongxu asked for was the information of some singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as some lyricists and composers, whether they were well-known or famous, even if they were not famous at all, they just sent samples to the record company.
All of them were sorted out together, and for the sake of Fude, who returned to Hong Kong, he threw the matter of registering the company to the people below to do, and he personally ran this matter, and it took a lot of favors to get these materials.
"It's useful, of course it's useful, now we can't dig some famous singers if we want to, even if we can dig it, the cost is too much to lose, so we can only find it ourselves, meet a suitable newcomer to sign, save money, not to mention that the plasticity is much higher, isn't it?" Yang Dongxu explained.
Of course, this is an excuse, because he can get his hands on these materials, and other people can get them, and if there is really shining gold that is being snatched away, it is impossible for him to take his turn.
However, Yang Dongxu has an advantage, he doesn't have to listen to the samples sung by these people, look at the lyrics written, he just needs to look at his face. See if this person knows each other, whether he will become a famous singer in the future, and if he will sign it directly, not throw it aside.
The glowing gold was chosen by the people, but there are still a lot of gold that is covered by mud and sand, isn't it? Yang Dongxu has the cheating method of memory in the future, and he is too sorry for the memories in his mind if he doesn't use it.
"I'll send you the information tomorrow. Fude didn't say anything.
Although he felt that Yang Dongxu's explanation was a bit perfunctory, because finding talents in this way was similar to looking for a needle in a haystack, he didn't feel that these people who had been eliminated by many companies would have any diamonds. But he didn't say these words in his heart, Yang Dongxu, a big boy, he thought it out a little, in case he really missed it, he wouldn't be busy in vain.
Back in the small courtyard, Yang Dongxu opened a large box in his room, and there were two thick big books in it, which were all songs that Yang Dongxu recalled when he was usually fine.
Several years of learning music knowledge have given Yang Dongxu a certain amount of professional knowledge, so after judging the characteristics of Zhang Wen and Wu Qi's voices, he directly turned to Zhang Xinzhe's songs and Tian Zhen's songs.
Looking at Zhang Xinzhe's famous song, Yang Dongxu frowned and finally took out "Love Like a Tide", and then chose "What a Big Tree" from Tian Zhen's songs.
For Hainer Records to become an instant hit, it obviously needs classic hits. Even if Zhang Wen and Wu Qi are still close to each other, these two songs should be able to put the two of them on top.
After breakfast the next day, Yang Dongxu went to the bar in Sanlitun, and Wu Decai and a few others were already there. Yang Dongxu handed over the song sheet in his hand: "One person and one song, you take a look at the song sheet first, and sing it a cappella for a while." β
Fude took the song sheet first and looked at it, but after all, he was not a professional and couldn't understand the notes, so he could only read the lyrics. Zhang Wen and Wu Qi took the lyrics in their hands and looked at them, and their faces did not change much.
"Let's think about it carefully, "My Chinese Heart" was written by him, you are also lucky, the company has just been established and needs a singer, otherwise it will be your turn?" Seeing Zhang Wen and Wu Qi's indifferent looks, Fude snorted.
"How could he write "My Chinese Heart", how could it be?" Zhang Wen looked incredulous.
"Are you Xiao Xu?" Wu Qi looked at the word Xiao Xu written on the song sheet, and looked at Yang Dongxu in disbelief.
"If you are talking about Xiao Xu, who wrote "My Chinese Heart", it is indeed me. Yang Dongxu nodded.
"How is it possible? "My Chinese Heart" has been released for several years, how old were you at that time?" Zhang Wen felt that his boss was putting gold on his face, and the method was too naΓ―ve, he really thought he was a fool.
"Do you want me to call Hao Yifan and ask him to confirm it for you?" Yang Dongxu snorted: "Familiarize yourself with the song, and then sing a cappella." β
"Why are you stunned? I haven't gone over to practice singing. Hearing Yang Dongxu say Hao Yifan, Zhang Wen and Wu Qi were stunned, and they roared when they saw the two of them stunned.
"Are you really Xiao Xu?" Wu Qi still couldn't believe it was true.
"It's not important, practice singing first. Yang Dongxu waved his hand, and walked to the sofa next to him and sat down with Fudecai.
This bar is not small, with two floors above and one basement. The entire basement is about 300 square meters, and after separating a small recording studio, there is a lot of spare space next to it that can be used as a lounge, and at the same time, there is a hall with some fruits and drinks, and there are also a lot of musical instruments for the singer to find musicality or something.
This time, Yang Dongxu did not save money with the addition of Fu Decai, and the decoration of the basement was forgotten, which was already done by the landlord before. The recording equipment alone cost a small 200,000 yuan, and with those musical instruments or something, the house did not cost more than 300,000 yuan.
Such a top-level configuration, even if it is placed in Hong Kong and Taiwan, is rare, and some of the big record company recording studios are not as good as him.
"There shouldn't be any problem, right?" Looking at Zhang Wen and Wu Qi, who were frowning and humming next to them with a song sheet, Fude asked with some concern.
"Okay, won't they know if they sing it for a while?" Yang Dongxu gnawed on the apple without worry.
If it's a god of songs, a song queen with such a great god's fame can't work, then what's the point? So he didn't worry at all.
Half an hour later, Zhang Wen and Wu Qi felt the same, so the two of them walked over. After the two glanced at each other, Zhang Wen came first.
"Don't ask why you're in tears
It doesn't matter who else you have in your heart
Please let me comfort you
It doesn't matter if the ending is happy or sad
...................β
It may be the first time to sing it, without musical accompaniment Zhang Wen's voice is a little tight, and his singing is also very hard, he is just walking according to the tone, and he does not express his feelings.
Yang Dongxu frowned on the side: "No matter how familiar it is, there is a guitar over there, you take it and go to the rest room next to it to find the tune and feeling, the main thing is to understand the feelings contained in the song, and sing it again in a while, Wu Qi, you come." β
"Oh, okay. Seeing Yang Dongxu's appearance, Wu Qi couldn't help but get nervous.
"Relax, this is just the first time to audition, don't have too much burden, how comfortable you are, just sing and play. Seeing Wu Qi's appearance, Yang Dongxu had a smile on his face, and the depressing atmosphere eased a lot in an instant.
"Uh-huh. Wu Qi nodded twice, as if to cheer himself up again.
"A sky above my head
Step on one side of the earth
In the wind you hold your head high
Ice and snow are not satisfied
..................β
I don't know if Yang Dongxu's comfort played a role, or if Wu Qi really let go of herself, compared to Zhang Wen's bluntness, she performed well. Although it can't reach the height and emotion that Tian Zhen sings, it already has a bit of flavor.
"Yes, you're familiar with it, if it's okay, we'll record tomorrow. The smile on Yang Dongxu's face was a little richer, and he was a little more confident in the first step of Haina Records.
"Yes, boss. Wu Qi bowed.
If he questioned whether the big boy in front of him was Xiao Xu just now, then now although Wu Qi feels incredible, he already believes it in his heart.
Because whether it is her "A Big Tree" or Zhang Wen's "Love Like a Tide" are good songs. Although her musical literacy is not very high, she can't be professionally tasted, but she is also a singer and has listened to a lot of songs. Whether a song is good or bad or has some discernment.
If this little boss is really Xiao Xu............ Wu Qi's eyes couldn't help but light up, and Zhang Wen next to him seemed to have thought of this, and the two of them might see each other's joy at a glance.
Zhang Wen took a guitar to the next room to practice singing, and Wu Qi also went to another room.
"Wouldn't it be nice to move this identity out earlier? Seeing Zhang Wen and Wu Qi so positive, Fu Decai's face also relaxed.
"Didn't you just say that? It's useless. Yang Dongxu shrugged.
Fude was stunned for a moment, it is true that when the two of them got the song just now, he did say that Yang Dongxu was Xiao Xu, but Zhang Wen and Wu Qi didn't believe it at all.
"You're too deceptive at your age, if I didn't know what happened, I wouldn't believe you Xiao Xu. Fude shook his head.
Not to mention Wu Qi and Zhang Wen, even if it was him, if it weren't for Yang Dongxu who showed his hand after saying that he was Xiao Xu. He also didn't believe that the kid in front of him was the lyricist who wrote the song "My Chinese Heart", which was popular all over the country.
He is only 13 years old this year, and he was not only eight or nine years old a few years ago, but he wrote such a song at the age of eight or nine, which is no longer a genius, he is simply a demon.
This time, Zhang Wen and Wu Qi both pondered with their hearts, and the practice time was a little longer.
This time Wu Qi came first, and the effect was better than just now, and Yang Dongxu gave her a thumbs up.
When it was Zhang Wen's turn, although he still didn't sing the flavor of Zhang Xinzhe that Yang Dongxu wanted, it was much better than the first time, and he was obviously very attentive.
"Okay, it's all good, take a break, just practice these two songs today, find more feelings in the songs, and comprehend the feelings in them before you can move the people who listen to your songs."
I'll come back again in the afternoon, and if it's okay, the sound engineer will be there in the afternoon. Let him rest for one night, and we will record tomorrow, and then send it to Hong Kong and Taiwan to play the charts. Yang Dongxu praised and drew a big pie in order to make the two of them more active in singing.
"Can my songs really hit the charts?" Zhang Wen couldn't believe it, and so did Wu Qi.
Although they are well-known singers, and they are from Hong Kong, they have pride in their hearts. But for them, hitting the list is simply out of reach. Unexpectedly, the opportunity to come to the mainland based on money made them only one step away from their dreams.
"What's the point of hitting the charts, you have to release your own album in the future, the company is all set up, you can't just form a band like a few college students, have nothing to do with it, and disband if you're not happy, right? Yang Dongxu made a little joke.
"Boss, I will definitely try my best. Wu Qi clenched his fists in front of his chest and assured.
"I'm going to do my best. Zhang Wen also immediately assured.
The passion of the two people flourished again. Yang Dongxu and Wu Decai glanced at each other with a smile. With such passion and good songs, and a fairly good voice, it seems that hitting the charts is not just a big pie.
