West Chambers Hotel.

Because it was still some time before evening, the restaurant was a little deserted, with only a few pairs of customers.

Guo Xiaofei did not bring his Taiwanese actress this time, but met Xu Xian with two middle-aged men.

He glanced at Zhao Yao, the cameraman behind Xu Xian, and frowned slightly.

Xu Xian noticed this, so he asked Zhao Yao to stay in the hall first, and he entered the box with Guo Xiaofei and the others.

"Let me introduce, this is a strict lawyer in our company's legal department, this is one of my big brother Cai Mingyi, you are still young, you may not be familiar with this senior, but in the nineties of the last century, Mr. Cai is very prestigious in the music world, he has written songs for Liu Lin, and he has heard "Laughing Red Dust", right? ”

Guo Xiaofei said solemnly.

It is strictly forbidden not to smile, sitting aside with a briefcase, and when he heard this, he also got up and shook hands with Xu Xian.

Afterwards, Xu Xian looked at Cai Mingyi, and saw that the other party was sitting there, and the old god was there, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart, but he still took the initiative to shake hands, and said with a smile: "Long Yang, Long Yang, I am a fan of Mr. Cai." ”

In fact, how did he know which green onion the other party was......

I've never heard of it.

Cai Mingyi is about forty-five years old, and he can be regarded as dignified, probably after a long period of exercise, and his figure is slightly burly.

Speaking of which, he can also be regarded as a model of fame at a young age, more than ten years ago, the song "Laughing Hongchen" he wrote for singer Liu Lin was included in the album of the same name, once released, it was popular all over the country, and the sales of the whole album reached platinum, which also made Liu Lin step into the front line of the music industry from a third-tier singer, which was a smash hit at that time.

Cai Mingyi has also officially entered the public's eye, and some of his subsequent works have also been bought out by many singers, but unfortunately, since entering the new century, Cai Mingyi's works have been declining day by day, and no one has gradually cared about them.

"Speaking of Chinese style, my "Laughing Red Dust" should be the pioneering work of this style, and it can be regarded as a good start for the domestic music scene. ”

After Cai Mingyi shook hands with Xu Xian, he touched the mustache at the corner of his mouth, and said a little smugly: "Influenced by me, most of the post-90s generations now prefer some Chinese-style songs, Taiwanese singer Chen Junlang's royal lyricist Wei Feng, who is also my junior brother, his Chinese-style songs, influenced by me is also quite large, there is no group of us in the nineties to open up the market and accumulate popularity, and the current Chinese-style songs, I am afraid I still don't know which corner to hide, waiting for future generations to discover." ”

Xu Xian's face was surprised, he didn't expect Cai Mingyi to really have two brushes.

Chen Junlang He knows that there are a number of king singers in Taiwan, and they are also very popular in the mainland, which is similar to the route taken by Jay Chou in his previous life, and he is good at Chinese-style songs.

However, Chen Junlang's characteristics are not as distinct as Jay Chou, except for having a good voice, other creative abilities can only be regarded as average, so in terms of popularity, there is still a little difference with Jay Chou.

But even so, it is a mountain that is difficult for Xu Xian to reach at present.

Regarding the status of the music world, in a word, Xu Xian's current efforts may be in vain.

However, newcomers also have the benefits of newcomers, they can't get in touch with the more complex entertainment industry, and many top artists won't surrender their identities to find trouble for newcomers.

And Cai Mingyi, although he has been out of breath for a long time, with his past resume, today's Xu Xian also has to call his predecessors honestly.

"At yesterday's dinner, Xiaofei said that you prepared a song for the West Chamber, and it was Chinese style, which is a coincidence, Chinese style is what I am good at, so today I am also uninvited to help Xiaofei taste your work, don't mind, I just want to know, is it the era when the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, or my work, it is really not as good as a newcomer. ”

Cai Mingyi said pleasantly, but everything was revealed clearly between his words.

Xu Xian glanced at Guo Xiaofei, and when he saw Guo Xiaofei's helpless face, he couldn't help but feel funny.

You are a Party A, just don't bully people, but you were pinched to death by Party B?

Guo Xiaofei saw that Xu Xian's face was different, and immediately introduced: "Speaking of which, Mr. Cai Mingyi is also my elder, although his words are harsh, but he is also a pure calf protector, of course, Xu Xian, you can rest assured, if your work is really top-notch, I will naturally not treat you badly, and the price will definitely satisfy you." ”

When Xu Xian heard this, he no longer explained the question of who the signature of the work was, and directly handed over the lyrics and music scores he brought with him.

Cai Mingyi was the first to reach out to pick it up, he opened the file bag, took out the lyrics and music scores, looked at it carefully, and after a long time, he nodded and said: "Yes, this word is written well, it also rhymes, and there is some Chinese flavor, it seems that Xiaofei is not an unknown person, it is this song......"

He raised his head and looked at Xu Xian: "Xiao Xu, as a newcomer, you still have a lack of training, don't blame me for being blunt, what kind of messy tune is this, this song is blind." ”

Xu Xian smiled silently.

Guo Xiaofei saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly said: "Since the words are well written, the song will definitely not be bad, I have heard some of Xu Xian's works, and now just looking at the music score, I may not be able to see any effect, it is better to let Xu Xian interpret it, maybe it will be a blockbuster." ”

Before Xu Xian could speak, Cai Mingyi frowned: "I know R&B, and I also know Chinese style, and there are indeed many masterpieces when the two are combined, but Xiao Xu's song, if you want to be a blockbuster, it's a little delusional, this song is mixed with too many unnecessary melodies, making the whole song seem disorganized, in the end, it's still inexperienced, too young!"

Xu Xian smiled: "The seniors taught ......"

"But overall, this piece is quite medium, the so-called road to simplicity, I will give you some guidance, make the tune absolutely concise, and then it will become a fine song. Cai Mingyi said leisurely.

"I'm not going to change it. Xu Xian smiled

Cai Mingyi's mustache almost broke one, and he was stunned: "What did you say?"

"I won't change it, what this song is now, it will be what it will be in the future!"

Xu Xian suddenly said sincerely: "I'm sorry, senior, this piece was written by a friend of mine, I can't tamper with her work in vain against her wishes, and besides, I'm not qualified, right?"

What do you mean?

You're saying I'm not qualified either?

Cai Mingyi was a little angry, and slammed the lyrics and music scores on the table: "You junior, this is a little ignorant, I personally instructed you, you still don't appreciate it?"

Xu Xian spread his hands and looked at Guo Xiaofei.

Guo Xiaofei feels that he also has a big head, this Cai Mingyi has some friendship with his parents, and he usually has the demeanor of an elder, but after rejecting the other party's initiative to sing not long ago, he has been talking coldly, and I heard that he has found a junior to compose lyrics and music for the expansion of Xixiang Catering Group at home and abroad, so he is like a catfish, sticking to him.

He was also a little unhappy, in the final analysis, Xu Xian was also the person he fancied, Cai Mingyi's pretentious posture was really difficult to maintain a pleasant posture.

"Xu Xian, you sing the lyrics and songs first, don't worry, the final decision is still in my hands. Guo Xiaofei took the initiative to say.

Cai Mingyi snorted coldly, "Xiaofei, don't be resentful, I'm also thinking about you." ”

Guo Xiaofei smiled: "I admit your affection, but Brother Cai, no matter what, let's listen to the tune first, and then make a decision, what do you think." ”

"It's fine. Cai Mingyi nodded.

Xu Xian is actually a little angry in his heart, a songwriter who is out of breath, he can even ride on his head as a prestige.

But when he thought of the power of the RMB, Xu Xian also sighed in his heart, restrained his emotions, stood up, and walked in the direction of the performance stage outside the box.

Bear with me!

Everyone is at fault, and money is not wrong.

Arrived at the position of the performance stage, except for the musical instruments, there was no one here, the resident singer asked Xue Tao to come to work in the evening, Xu Xian stepped forward and began to tune, the operating principle of the equalizer is very simple, the male is the computer input of other musical instruments, Xu Xian did a little half an hour, and barely recorded the simplified version of the accompaniment, of course, there is a slight difference in details with the original.

After everything was ready, Xu Xian picked up the microphone and turned on the switch for a while, before he smiled at Cai Mingyi, who was standing next to him with a cloudy expression: "I sang!"

"Sing it!" Guo Xiaofei said expectantly.

In the process of tuning and recording, in fact, the tune has been very different from the melody that it should be.

The melody was beyond Cai Mingyi's imagination, and it was inexplicably pleasant.

This is something he is somewhat reluctant to admit.

Although Guo Xiaofei doesn't understand, he believes in and recognizes Xu Xian's strength, because the songs "Grandma Says" and "Dispel Sorrow" have made Xu Xian coated with a veil of mystery.

Guo Xiaofei wants to uncover it, and then get to know him, and it is best to be able to sign him.

Because in addition to the catering industry, Guo Xiaofei also has the idea of entering the entertainment industry, his Taiwanese actress model, the contract of the original agency is about to expire recently, and as the date gradually approaches, the idea of entering the entertainment industry is becoming stronger and stronger.

Especially a good seedling like Xu Xian, it made Guo Xiaofei feel even more greedy.
