Chapter 560: Get the Vocal Guests
"Miss Jiang, I'm sorry," after re-entering the reception room and sitting down, Xiao Yao said to Jiang Kailin, "Sorry for keeping you waiting." ”
"It's okay!" Jiang Kailin smiled and shook his head, "By the way, you can just call me Kailin." Although it was the first time we met, we were all singers, and it was inevitable that we would meet again in the future. Even if we know each other today, we don't need to be so polite. ”
"Okay!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, "You can just call me Xiao Yao." ”
"Xiao Yao," Jiang Kailin adjusted her sitting posture before continuing, "I came to you this time to talk to you about the copyright of a song. ”
"Oh?" Xiao Yao said, "It's not an invitation to a song, but a direct talk about copyright, are you taking a fancy to an old song I've published?"
"It's not an old song that's already been published, it's a new song that you've written, but hasn't recorded yet. Jiang Kailin said, "I heard Wu You say that you have a written Cantonese song that has not yet found a good singer, nor has it been recorded." I'm from Hong Kong Island and have released Cantonese albums. I'm very interested in your Cantonese song, I don't know if it's suitable to sing your Cantonese song, how appropriate, I want to buy the original singing copyright of your Cantonese song. Of course, if you're willing to help me compose other songs, I can't ask for them, and I can ask you for another song!"
"Is it the song I read the narration on "Sound Immersion"?" Xiao Yao glanced at Wu You, turned his head and asked Jiang Kailin.
"Yes!" Jiang Kailin nodded, "That's the one." ”
"That song has never been published, you shouldn't even know the lyrics, so you're interested?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"I don't know what the lyrics of that song look like, but haven't you read the two narrations of that song on "Sound Immersion"?" Jiang Kailin said, "I heard Wu You read those two narrations, and they moved me very much." The reputation and quality of your musical works are very good, and I am very confident in your creative prowess. The narration of the song is excellent, and I guess it's not something you just write and play, but a sincere work that has put a lot of thought into it. I'm sure the quality of the whole song is not bad, and it's worth the trip I made for that song. ”
"Thank you for your affirmation of my abilities. Xiao Yao smiled and bowed his head in greeting.
"So do you think I'm suitable to sing that song?" asked Jiang Kailin.
"It should be possible!" Xiao Yao touched his chin and thought about it for a while, then nodded.
"So can I take a look at what the lyrics of that song look like now?" Jiang Kailin said happily.
"Of course," Xiao Yao turned to his assistant Pei Minyi beside him and said, "Minyi, you go to my office to help get the lyrics and music scores, the song title is "One Plus One". ”
"Okay!" Pei Minyi nodded in agreement and pushed the door out of the reception room.
"Listen to this, you have more than one song written?" Jiang Kailin said with a smile.
"Creators, just write songs and play when you have nothing to do. Xiao Yao said, "The lyrics and music scores of a few songs in my hand are also normal." ”
"Sure enough, it's a creative talent!" Jiang Kailin complimented.
"Thank you!" Xiao Yao smiled.
It didn't take long for Pei Minyi to come back with a few lyrics and music scores. Pei Minyi handed the score to Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao took it and looked at it twice, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed it to Jiang Kailin on the other side.
After Jiang Kailin took it from Xiao Yao's hand, she immediately looked down, and hummed quietly in her mouth as she watched.
"It's a really good song. After Jiang Kailin snorted, she smiled and said to Xiao Yao, "I like it very much!"
"It's good if you like it!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"So can you sell me the original copyright of this song?" Jiang Kailin said, "The price is negotiable, and I believe I will definitely be able to give you a satisfactory price." ”
"The price is not in my hands, my agent is in charge, but as long as I agree to sell, this aspect is generally not a problem, and my agent will not open his mouth. Xiao Yao said, "However, it's not time to negotiate the price yet." ”
Hearing Xiao Yao's previous words, Jiang Kailin was still very happy, but hearing Xiao Yao's later words, Jiang Kailin's enthusiasm quickly faded, and she asked with some worry, "What do you mean? Don't you think I'm suitable for singing this song?"
"You're suitable, but there's a bit of a problem. Xiao Yao said, "First of all, didn't you notice that this song actually needs to be sung by two people?"
Xiao Yao said on "Sound Immersion" that his bright performance is the narration of one of his Cantonese songs, so this song will be released sooner or later. Xiao Yao doesn't know many female singers who sing Cantonese songs, and this song was not written by him for a certain female singer, and it is not a problem for Jiang Kailin to sing it. The problem is that the song was sung by two female singers, and now only Jiang Kailin is the only one who wants to sing his song.
"Even if it's sold to a record company, the songs I write are all designated by me, and I don't care about the covers, at least the original song is designated by me. Xiao Yao continued, "I don't think you have a problem as one of the singers of this song, but this song needs two singers, and I don't have a clue about the other one." Since three performers are involved, the issue of copyright must be discussed after all three performers have been confirmed. ”
"Three?" Jiang Kailin said, "Isn't it two female singers working together?
"There is also narration!" Xiao Yao reminded with a smile, "Two female singers are responsible for the singing part, and one is responsible for narration." But don't worry about the performers of the narration, I have already performed part of the narration of this song on "Sound Immersion", so I will still be responsible for the official version of the narration, so we are only missing another female singer now. ”
"There is only one other female singer missing," Jiang Kailin asked, "Are there any requirements? Can I recommend you a singer to work with?"
"Of course you can recommend it to me," Xiao Yao nodded, "This is a Cantonese song, and the basic requirement is a female singer who can speak Cantonese." You can recommend female singers that you are more familiar with and feel better to work with me, as for whether it is suitable for this song, this is up to me to judge. ”
"One more point. Xiao Yao added, "I know that many singers have their own queen producers, but since I am in charge of the narration of this song and participate in the performance of this song, then this song must be produced by myself, and I can't find another producer to be responsible." Whether it's you or another singer, you have to say yes. ”
"I know you're not only a great singer and music creator, but also a very good music producer. Jiang Kailin immediately said, "You want to record this song yourself, I can't ask for it, I believe many singers will think the same way, so this is definitely not a problem." ”
"Then there's nothing wrong with that. Xiao Yao said, "I can guarantee that you will be one of the singers of this song now, and when another female singer is determined, we will talk about the copyright and recording of this song." ”
"Okay, no problem!" Jiang Kailin nodded.
"I had an idea. Jiang Kailin said to Xiao Yao, "You asked me to recommend to you female singers who are more familiar with me and feel better to work together, and the finals of "Singer" have a helping singing session, and the competing guests also have to invite helping to sing guests. If I can enter the finals of "Singer", I will also invite a guest singer, and the guest invited must also be a singer who is more familiar with me and feels better to work with, so can we take this song to the final of "Singer" to sing?"
"It's okay to sing this song in the finals. Xiao Yao shrugged his shoulders and said, "But I want to remind you that you can only invite one guest singer for the final of "Singer". According to this rule, if you sing this song in the finals, whether I want to or not, I should not be able to appear on the stage of "Singer" with another singer as your guest singer. At that time, I had to record the narration in advance and play it in the background music of the accompaniment. ”
At present, there is still a third narration in "One Plus One" that has not been released, and Xiao Yao is ready to stay in the final of "Sound Immersion". However, "Singer" has a total of thirteen issues, which is more than the number of issues of "Sound Immersion", and the final time is also later than "Sound Immersion". When the finals of "Singer" were broadcast live, the finals of "Sound Immersion" should have already been broadcast, so Xiao Yao didn't mind letting "One Plus One" make its debut at the finals of "Singer".
"That's okay!" Jiang Kailin smiled, "As long as the narrator is you!"
"Okay," Xiao Yao said, "if you make it to the finals, and we have identified another female singer before that, we will record the official version of the song before the finals, and I will also record a narration for you." ”
"On the stage of "Singer", it's not good to help sing guests, but you can also be a musician. Even if you can't help on stage, you can still help behind the scenes!" Hearing Xiao Yao's words, Wu You couldn't help but think.
"Xiao Yao, you should be relatively empty during this time, don't you want to go to the stage of "Singer" to play again?" Wu You saw that Xiao Yao and Jiang Kailin seemed to have a good chat, so he asked Xiao Yao, "In the "Singer" program the year before last, you helped Liang Xueying arrange music, design costumes and stage lighting, and also helped her do electronic music DJ on stage, are you interested in playing again this year?"
There are still several issues before the finals of "Singer", and whether or not she can enter the final finals, Jiang Kailin has at least three more opportunities to appear on "Singer". If Xiao Yao can help Jiang Kailin put on a show like he did with Liang Xueying that time, even if he can't help Jiang Kailin win the first place, it will be a very topical thing, and it will be very beneficial to Jiang Kailin.
"Do you want me to help Miss Jiang create another show?" Xiao Yao said with a smile as he looked at Wu You.
"Is it okay?" Jiang Kailin's eyes also lit up, and she looked at Xiao Yao with anticipation.
Jiang Kailin also watched the performance designed by Xiao Yao for Liang Xueying the year before last, and knew that Liang Xueying won the first place in that competition.
"Hmm~ It's not impossible..."Xiao Yao deliberately groaned for a while before he spoke.
"Really?" Jiang Kailin and Wu You both said in surprise.
"But~" Xiao Yao continued, "I still have the finals of "Sound Immersion" to participate in. ”
""Sound Immersion" is different from "Singer", the recording of the next few episodes has nothing to do with you, you just need to prepare for the final finals. Wu You said, "There are still more than 20 days before the finals, and it won't take you so long to prepare for the finals, right?"
"Yes, it's a long time before the finals of "Sound Immersion", theoretically speaking, I should have the time and energy," Xiao Yao said, "but now I still have a troublesome matter that I haven't solved, so I may not have the time and energy to spend time and energy on this matter!"
"Trouble?" Jiang Kailin said, "Can you tell me what the matter is, and see if I have anything that can help you." ”
From the words "theoretically" and "maybe", Jiang Kailin heard that the meaning of Xiao Yao's words was not to refuse directly, but to say that as long as he solved his troubles, he could help her design a performance, Jiang Kailin of course asked enthusiastically.
"My trouble is the final of "Sound Immersion" that Wu You said just now. Xiao Yao said, "In the finals, there is a link where the competition guests and the supporting guests cooperate to perform a dubbing. Just like you looking for a vocal guest, I also need to find a vocal guest in the finals of "Sound Immersion", and my vocal guest has not yet been decided. ”
"Do you think I can do it?" Jiang Kailin said, "If I can help you, I must be duty-bound!"
"I know you've worked as an actor and voiced animated films, but you're not the perfect person for me. Xiao Yao looked at Jiang Kailin and shook his head and said, "Since it is the finals, it must take a lot of time to rehearse and prepare, you have the task of competing in "Singer" every week, and I don't want to trouble you in this matter."
After Wu You said that he wanted to introduce Jiang Kailin to him, Xiao Yao also learned something about Jiang Kailin.
Jiang Kailin is not only a singer, but also an actor. She has played the heroine of idol dramas at the beginning of her debut, and has also played roles in some movies and TV series over the years, dubbed cartoons, and even acted in musicals and stage plays, and also has certain acting skills. After learning about Jiang Kailin's life experience, Xiao Yao did consider the idea of finding Jiang Kailin as a guest speaker.
But after carefully watching Jiang Kailin's film and television works, Xiao Yao still dispelled this idea. In addition to Jiang Kailin's participation in "Singer", Xiao Yao is more concerned about professional issues. Although Jiang Kailin has also acted, she is not from a professional class in acting or broadcasting and hosting. She's a professional singer, but not a professional actress or a professional voice actor.
The TV series she starred in are basically idol dramas, the character image is relatively simple, and there is nothing too eye-catching in terms of acting skills. There are only four of her dubbing works in total, all of which are girl-type characters in animated movies, which are more similar to her own temperament and image, basically starring in her true colors, which is not bad, but it can only be said to be decent. Jiang Kailin's film and television works and dubbing works are mainly focused on the popularity stage in the early days of her debut. In Xiao Yao's opinion, the reason why the filmmakers asked her for dubbing is because she is more famous than because of her dubbing strength.
In addition, Xiao Yao feels that Jiang Kailin's performance style in typical Hong Kong Island film and television dramas does not match him well, and the final effect is likely not to be very good, which seems to be somewhat contrary to the professional principles of the show.
In terms of fame, of course, Jiang Kailin is stronger than Wu You, but in terms of dubbing strength, Jiang Kailin is not stronger than Wu You, who graduated from the broadcasting and hosting major and has also been an actor. In terms of topicality, both of them are candidates who can cause a lot of topics, but Xiao Yao himself thinks that it is more interesting to bring the students of the new voice class to cooperate than to find a singer in "Singer" to cooperate. So after thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Yao finally made Wu You his first choice as his guest to help.
"Listen to what you mean, there is already the most ideal candidate?" Jiang Kailin asked Xiao Yaodao, "Then who is your ideal candidate?" As long as I know it, if there is a need, I can come forward to help you ask for it. ”
Jiang Kailin also knows that "Sound Immersion" is a very popular program. If Xiao Yao really asked her to be a guest speaker, Jiang Kailin might really agree. However, Xiao Yao said in an affirmative tone that he didn't want to trouble her instead of asking if he would trouble her, that is, he had no intention of asking her to be a guest speaker.
After all, "Sound Immersion" is a show where actors compete for dubbing and acting. Although Jiang Kailin has acted and dubbed, she knows that her best thing is singing. In terms of acting and dubbing, she thinks she can't compare to the powerful actors who appear in the show. So after knowing that Xiao Yao had no intention of asking herself to be a guest speaker, Jiang Kailin did not force it, and volunteered to be his guest speaker, but to see if she could help in inviting people.
"I already have the right person. Xiao Yao smiled, "Not only do you know each other, but you should also have a good relationship, you have a lot of influence, and you can also come forward to invite me together." ”
"Oh, who?" asked Jiang Kailin curiously.
Jiang Kailin doesn't have many celebrity friends who have a good relationship, some are basically singers, and there are very few actors or voice actors, Jiang Kailin can't imagine that any of them will have an intersection with Xiao Yao and will be favored by Xiao Yao.
"Far away in the sky, close in front of you!" Xiao Yao stretched out his hand and pointed at Wu You, "It's her!"
"Wu You?!" Jiang Kailin looked in the direction of Xiao Yao's finger and exclaimed in surprise, "The guest you want to invite is Wu You?"
"Yes!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, "Wu You is very good at dubbing!"
"Your guest candidate for support is Wu You, so it's impossible that you haven't looked for her yet. You just went out to talk about this matter, right?" Jiang Kailin said suddenly, and then with some doubts, "But Xiao Yao, you said that this is a troublesome matter that you haven't solved yet, which means ~ Wu You refuses to be your guest in the finals?!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Kailin was even more surprised, looked at Wu You and said, "Why? "Sound Immersion" is so popular, how good it is to ask you to be a guest to help the voice, how can you refuse?"
"I didn't refuse, I just said I had to think about it!" Wu You smiled bitterly.
"Didn't you say that you would give me three days to think about it?" Wu You turned to Xiao Yao and said, "Why are you still using me to talk about things?"
"It's said that I'll give you three days to think about it, and I haven't changed my hexagram!" Xiao Yao smiled, "It's just that because you haven't agreed yet, I have to keep thinking about this matter in my heart, and I have to think about who I want to invite to be a guest speaker if you refuse." I don't have the time or energy to focus on other things. I'm just stating this to Kailin, not saying you won't think about it. ”
"Don't have the heart to put your time and energy on other things?" Wu You suddenly grasped the key point in Xiao Yao's words, and glared at Xiao Yao a little speechlessly, "For example, including helping Kai Lin design the performance of "Singer"?"
"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded with a somewhat scoundrel smile, "When will my vocal guests be decided, and when will I start thinking about helping Kai Lin design the stage for the performance of "Singer"." ”
"You~ Do you want Kai Lin to help you persuade me to agree to be your guest speaker?" Wu You completely understood Xiao Yao's purpose, and helplessly held his forehead and said, "You're too laid-back, aren't you?"
"Laipi, is there one? I don't think so!" Xiao Yao smiled shamelessly, "I didn't break my promise to let you consider, nor did I promise or refuse to help Kai Lin design the performance of "Singer", the initiative is in your hands." ”
"Also," Xiao Yao continued to shamelessly increase, "There are still about three weeks before the final of "Sound Immersion", I have to practice the dubbing of the "Sound Immersion" final, and I also have to rehearse the dubbing passages of the cooperation with the voice support guests, and I still have to go to school, so it may take two weeks to prepare for "Sound Immersion". I have free time for the next week or so, and I don't have a lot of time. ”
At this time, Jiang Kailin also fully understood what Xiao Yao meant. However, she seemed a little hesitant, just looked at Wu You, and did not speak.
"By the way," seeing Jiang Kailin looking at Wu You without speaking, Xiao Yao continued, "I don't plan to help Kailin do a song arrangement like I did when I helped Sister Xue Ying, but I am going to write a new song for her, and the performance costume I designed is specially tailor-made." Familiarizing yourself with a new song and practicing a new song should take more time than an old song, and it takes more time to make a tailor-made costume than a ready-to-wear costume. If you don't practice enough or don't have time to make costumes due to time constraints, I hope you can understand that the performance effect is reduced. ”
"Wu You, the vocal guest in the finals of "Sound Immersion", which is equivalent to the assistant singer in our "Singer" finals, right? Show your strength, enhance your popularity, and attract fans These benefits should not be analyzed by others," Jiang Kailin finally couldn't help it, and looked at Wu You seriously, "Putting aside the considerations that Xiao Yao has time to help me write songs and design the performance stage that are related to me, I just want to say that Xiao Yao asked you to be the guest voice of "Sound Immersion". You ask yourself, do you really want to give up such an opportunity, will you really turn him down?"
"I~" Wu You said with some hesitation, "Maybe, probably not!"
"No, it should, I don't think you will! Jiang Kailin looked at Wu You and said, "Since you still can't refuse in the end, what's the difference between agreeing now and agreeing three days later?"
"But there is a difference between agreeing now and agreeing three days later for Jiang Kailin!" Wu You certainly understood what Xiao Yao and Jiang Kailin meant, and turned to Xiao Yao and said, "Okay! I will agree to be your guest now." ”
"Okay, then you can inform Miss Jiang's follow-up team to come to Shencheng tomorrow to shoot daily tidbits. Xiao Yao smiled, "I appeared in the camera with Miss Jiang, which should be the biggest highlight in this daily tidbit, right?"
