Chapter 38: Resentment
"Listen to the sycamore drizzle, squeezing its leaves, can this sentence be recycled a little more? I think you still don't collect enough, or sing too openly, take it back a little more, here is the final finish, you have to pull it back, you can't play it out again, don't want it at all, this is not quite the same as the previous passages that are accumulating...... How do I feel...... Listen to the sycamore drizzle, the leaves, shake the memory with the wind......"
The time is June 2, and the venue is Studio 1 in Zhou Yujie's music studio.
Zhou Yujie's personal exclusive recording studio.
At the time of saying this, Peng Xiangming was the production director of Zhou Yujie's new song "Phoenix Flying".
At the Yenching Film Academy, after entering the end of May, all classes have ended, non-seniors have begun to officially enter the exam month, and seniors are about to start their graduation season.
Peng Xiangming doesn't have too much to worry about the upcoming final exams, so in the past few days, Zhou Yujie first wanted to record accompaniment, and he came over to help negotiate the arrangement, and then he wanted to start recording while the iron was hot, so he came over to supervise the producer.
Well, after several rounds of collisions and discussions, as well as repeated attempts, Zhou Yujie finally almost completely adopted his "original arrangement", and once again sincerely praised his "talent".
However, although he has always praised Peng Xiangming's "talent", once they come together to work, a little conflict between them is almost inevitable - people who are so popular as Zhou Yujie will certainly have the heart to love and cherish talents, but the arrogance in his heart is also obvious.
And although Peng Xiangming has shown a certain amount of musical talent, he is far from reaching the level of "suppressing" him - age, qualifications, and achievements, Peng Xiangming has no ability.
Of course, disagreements are disagreements, work is work, friendship is friendship, and he will not bring a little disagreement that arises when cooperating to the aftermath of the interaction - his emotional intelligence is not low.
At this time, after listening to Peng Xiangming's thoughts, Zhou Yujie frowned slightly, so Peng Xiangming knew that he should still have different opinions.
But it doesn't matter, Peng Xiangming, as the producer, is only responsible for saying his ideas, whether he is willing to adopt it or not, it only depends on Zhou Yujie's own judgment.
Peng Xiangming is the producer of this song, but he is the producer himself.
Zhou Yujie's thinking comes from his intuition about music that he has accumulated over the years in his singing career. And Peng Xiangming's judgment comes from the original song in his mind.
Obviously, the latter will be a little more mature.
After taking off his headphones and walking back and forth in the recording studio for a few steps, Zhou Yujie walked to the corner again, facing the corner of the wall, humming in a low voice - this is a small habit that Peng Xiangming discovered after participating in his work team. Whenever he came across a place where he felt that he was not singing well, or was picked on by the producer, he used to go to the corner of his studio and sing in a low voice to the wall.
He himself said: "There is a better me living in the corner of my studio, and he can tell me whether I sing well or not, and whether I am good enough!"
He turned his head for more than ten minutes.
Suddenly, at a certain moment, he turned around, walked to the microphone, put on the headphones again, nodded at Peng Xiangming, cocked a thumbs up, and said, "It does feel better to collect a little more!"
And then he said, "OK!
............
No one can succeed casually, even if the voice talent and singing talent have reached the level of Zhou Yujie, they must practice every song carefully, figure it out carefully, find an insider, and help themselves sort out and polish a song's emotions, singing, and so on over and over again.
Of course, talent is a premise.
In just two days, "Phoenix Yu Fei" gradually took shape under the polishing of the two of them over and over again.
At least Peng Xiangming's level of the two knives can't find any problems, and I feel that the effect of his singing is no worse than the original song in his mind.
Zhou Yujie is obviously very satisfied.
Listening to the final recorded version over and over again, he patted Peng Xiangming's shoulder vigorously, and all the small contradictions and conflicts during the work disappeared, and said over and over again: "Your musical intuition is top-notch!"
Peng Xiangming was embarrassed to accept this sentence, so he had to laugh.
At noon, he had another working lunch there, and his job as a producer was completely over. He wanted to say goodbye and leave, Zhou Yujie insisted on letting his driver send it, Peng Xiangming pushed it twice, but he couldn't push it off, so he took his big MPV and asked the driver to send him back to school directly.
The road is a little blocked, but the car is very stable, Peng Xiangming was bored and took out his mobile phone to swipe WeChat, entered a few groups to take a look, there was no topic of interest, so he pulled down aimlessly.
Suddenly, it pulled back again.
Stop.
The chat record with Zhou Shunqing still stays at the sentence she sent, "Actually, I'm not stupid!"
Peng Xiangming never replied.
After thinking about it, he clicked on the dialog box, entered a message, and sent it to her: "I'll find you to try a song in a few days!"
After waiting for a while and seeing no reply, I turned off the screen.
In the contract signed with "The Legend of Ping Niang of the Great Song Dynasty", there is no need to rush the soundtrack, and you need to wait for the edited version of the TV series to come out before you can start it, but the production of a total of three songs can be mentioned to be done earlier.
Peng Xiangming chose to copy it completely.
The ending song uses "Red Face Tribulation", and the interludes "Amazing Dance" and "Bodhisattva Man" are also good.
Of course, he gave preference to Zhou Shunqing to try.
The first is that she's cheap enough.
Three songs, one ending song of 600,000 yuan, two interludes of 400,000 yuan, the production cost of Peng Xiangming here is already fixed, and the cheaper the singer's singing fee, the more he will of course earn.
Secondly, he does like Zhou Shunqing's voice very much.
I feel that her voice, singing a song like "Hongyan Tribulation", should be reliable with a handle.
Of course, other factors are not without it, working with such a beautiful girl, you can enjoy the beauty while working, and you can make money and do things at the same time, but you can also be pleasing to the eye, why not?
Besides, even if you ask her to record another song, Zhou Yuhua will have to accept his own face.
Although she has long since retired from the music scene, her influence is still there, and her connections are still there, although she may not need her to help for a while, but it is not a bad thing to leave an extra favor.
What if you use it someday?
However, looking for Zhou Shunqing to audition, that is, walking like this first, so far the producer has not sent the money over, and the work cannot be really carried out for the time being.
............
The car was stable, Peng Xiangming was paralyzed in the back seat for a while, then touched his mobile phone, clicked on WeChat, found An Minzhi's dialog box, clicked on it, and entered: "Come today, I'm hungry!"
After waiting for a long time, there was no response.
As a result, seeing that the car had arrived at the school gate, Peng Xiangming thanked the driver and was about to get out of the car, but WeChat sounded, he got out of the car, watched the car drive away, hid under the shade of the tree, and clicked away.
An Minzhi: "No, I didn't tell you the day before yesterday, I've been preparing a new play recently." ”
Peng Xiangming stood in place and replied: "This is not delayed!"
After a while, her reply came, again voice.
There is a resentful look.
"How can you not delay! You toss all night, every time I feel like I'm about to be tossed apart by you, and I can't slow down that momentum for several days!"
A moment later, another voice came, and the voice became more and more angry.
"Young master, I'm almost forty years old, you treat me as a little girl! Even a little girl can't help you toss like that! I was paralyzed at home for a day yesterday, do you know?
Even if he was just facing the screen of his mobile phone, Peng Xiangming's face still showed a look of ridicule, and after thinking about it, he still replied to her by typing: "How can it be so exaggerated, what is tossing all night? If you really toss all night, don't talk about you, I have to die first! Besides, aren't you beautiful when you get up in the morning?"
She quickly replied with a voice: "It's really not good! Young master, please spare me! I've really been preparing for a new drama recently, you haven't done it, you don't know, the cuan group is very tired! Not to mention that this investment is not small! I asked you to toss those two hours the night before yesterday, and I haven't stopped yet! It's a real thing!"
After a while, she changed her typing again: "Let's go in a few days, it's only been two days!"
Peng Xiangming sighed and put away his phone.
However, suddenly another phone call came, he thought it was An Minzhi, but when he took it out, it was actually Zhou Yujie, and when he got through, he heard Zhou Yujie say: "Xiang Ming, are you at school?"
"It's here, thank you Brother Zhou!
Zhou Yujie laughed, "No, no, that's the case, as soon as you left on your front foot, Mr. He of our Daqi Records came, and people happened to be running for you, otherwise, I'll call Xiao Li and ask him to go back and pick you up again?"
"Huh?"
