Verse 294: One hundred love letters to Joe

After listening to Shen Huan's general description of his thoughts on online music, Bao Xiaobei already had such an impression of Shen Huan's conceptual album: this is an experimental album that contains Shen Huan's grand ideas and ambitions, and if it can really succeed, it will be a great music album with historical significance.

But Bao Xiaobei felt as if she had been deceived, when their work officially began.

"Who's Joe?"

When Bao Xiaobei heard Shen Huan elaborate on the name of this conceptual album, this question immediately popped up, because of the name of this conceptual album.

100 Love Letters to Joe

This is Shen Huan's name for this conceptual album, and listening to Shen Huan's meaning, this is the final name, and it will not be changed.

Judging by the name alone, this does not seem to be very great, but more like the product of the impulse of a male animal in the brain of a sperm worm......

Facing Bao Xiaobei's question, Shen Huan blinked a pair of innocent big eyes and replied very irresponsibly: "I don't know, just think about it." If you like it, you can also think of it as 'a hundred love letters to you', 'a hundred love letters to her', 'a hundred love letters to Ann', whatever. It's like an unknown X. ”

Bao Xiaobei intuitively felt that it was not so simple, and continued to break the casserole and asked: "Then can we just change it to 'a hundred love letters to you'? In this way, the coverage is wider, and it can create an illusion and a sense of substitution for those potential consumers, which is more conducive to the release of this album." ”

Shen Huan resolutely rejected Bao Xiaobei's proposal, "That's not good." Just like the first thing you feel when you hear the name, you will subconsciously think about who this 'Joe' is, and so do consumers. When they see the name of this album, they will also think like you, and have strong questions, at this time, as long as we work harder and push it secretly, won't an excellent news hotspot come out? For human beings, the mystery of the unknown will always have a great attraction. ”

Shen Huan's expression was very sincere, and what he said was very reasonable, Bao Xiaobei, who has been in this industry for a long time, also knew that what he said was indeed true, so that he could create a news hotspot out of thin air, and to a certain extent, drive the sale of this conceptual album.

But why did he always feel that this was Shen Huan's excuse?

Bao Xiaobei stared at Shen Huan suspiciously, always feeling that there were some unknown things hidden under his reason to be happy.

"What you said does make sense, so according to your line of thought, can we change it to something else? For example, a hundred love letters to Ning. ”

In addition to music creation and professional technology, Bao Xiaobei does have rich experience in music operation, and in just a short time, he has burst out some of his own operational ideas around what Shen Huan said: "'Ning' and 'you' are close to each other, so that you can not only achieve the effect you want, but also achieve the effect I said, both of both." ”

Shen Huan looked at Bao Xiaobei and was a little surprised.

Something, Brother Bao, your brain is spinning so fast.

However, Bao Xiaobei still couldn't change his mind.

"I still believe in my first feeling. ”

Shen Huan shook his head, "You also know that in our business, many times the first feeling is very important. Just like writing songs, often our first feeling is that what we write is the best, once we start to revise it, move closer to the creative rules, and improve, many times it is often the worse and worse the change. ”

Bao Xiaobei agrees with this, this thing sounds fantastic, but it is indeed the empirical law summarized by many people, including him, in their creation.

"The same goes for the title of my album, and I think it's my first impression that is more important, and I believe it will bring us good luck. ”

Shen Huan's later sentence Bao Xiaobei disagreed.

In his opinion, there is no inevitable causal relationship between what Shen Huan said before and after, Shen Huan is just forcibly pulling the two to one place, which also makes him feel even more tired of this.

He didn't even hide it, and directly asked his conjecture: "You can't be chasing someone, right?"

If it is true, then Bao Xiaobei also has to admire Shen Huan, this stroke is indeed big enough.

Shen Huan smiled and said, "Actually, this album is just like what I told you, the big goal is like that." It's just that if you can make some other effects while moving in the direction of this big goal, I think it's harmless, isn't it?"

What a thing!

Bao Xiaobei's eyes widened.

Although Shen Huan didn't admit it directly, he had already acquiesced in what he said.

Then Bao Xiaobei was convinced, angry and funny: What Shen Huan did could change the pattern of the industry, but the cause of such a big event seemed to be such a small thing as a private relationship, which really made him not know what to say.

This is a bit of a rush to the crown to be angry and red-faced, and it sounds quite romantic.

At the same time, Bao Xiaobei felt a trace of envy and regret.

Because a woman's figure flashed in his mind.

She always thinks that she can only create, not romantic enough, but he thinks that she doesn't understand herself enough, and the two always quarrel because of this, and finally these little disputes in life accumulate into qualitative changes, and she has left herself forever.

If he could be like Shen Huan at the beginning, maybe he wouldn't be single by now, right?

It's just that there is no if, and his she has already become a mother, and it is impossible to return to him.

"That woman is happy. ”

Bao Xiaobei sighed and said.

Shen Huan looked at Bao Xiaobei twice, and joked: "Brother Bao, you look like you have a story?"

Bao Xiaobei smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "It's all about being young, don't mention it." Then he immediately changed the subject, "So let's get started, let's talk about the theme of your album, if any." Also, what kind of style do you want to do, do you want to keep the style consistent, or do you want to change it a little? What do you want me to do on this album? ”

Seeing that Bao Xiaobei was reluctant to mention this matter, Shen Huan did not have any difficulty, and directly began to elaborate his thoughts: "The theme is like the name of the album, mainly emotional, and basically all of them will be love songs." ”

Bao Xiaobei nodded when he heard this.

There is nothing to say about this, the music market will always be the most widely sold love songs, love songs are the mainstream, this direction is no problem, and if it is placed on Shen Huan, this direction is even better.

Shen Huan is indeed a different singer, since his debut, he has basically not walked the "right path", but has been taking the "crooked path": his first album "Red Dust Inn", although there are also emotional factors in it, but the main focus is Chinese style; his "The Power of Life" album has nothing to do with love songs, either inspirational or insightful; the most crooked is his "Happiness First", where is that thing crooked?

If you really want to count it, Shen Huan really hasn't launched a special love song album like mainstream singers.

Now, if his conceptual album goes this way, it must have a great attraction to his fans, because it may become a deficiency in their hearts, and now Shen Huan has finally come to satisfy this deficiency in their hearts. Just for this reason, sales are promising.

"As for you, Brother Bao, I want you to carry out my intentions, control the music style of the whole album, and then understand my ideas and be able to implement my ideas. Some of the things involved in this, such as the search and contact of suitable musicians, the control of the arrangement style, etc., are all controlled by Brother Bao. ”

Bao Xiaobei basically understood.

To put it simply, Shen Huan just wants him to be the big boss of his album, which is also the model he has worked with Shen Huan, which is not difficult to understand.

"Are you going to find someone to collaborate on the songwriting on this album, or do you do it yourself like your previous albums? Or is it half and half? If you plan to do it yourself, do you have a song now?"

After understanding the basic situation, Bao Xiaobei finally mentioned what he was most concerned about.

The reason why he was willing to get up immediately to help after receiving such a call in the middle of the night was that his curiosity about Shen Huan's new music occupied a large proportion.

"I guess I'll do it myself. ”

Although he was already mentally prepared, after hearing this answer from Shen Huan's mouth, Bao Xiaobei was still shocked.

Start with at least a hundred songs, all by yourself?

If someone else said this, Bao Xiaobei would only think that he was a fool and dream, but Shen Huan was different.

He has seen Shen Huan's talent in music creation, and he has also seen Shen Huan's amazing actions more than half a month ago. If there is really someone in this world who can do this, then he believes that the most likely person may be Shen Huan.

"Song...... Let's try one today, let's work hard and see if we can make it in one day. ”

Hearing this, Bao Xiaobei nodded, then looked Shen Huan's whole body up and down, and asked, "Where's the score?"

He couldn't wait to see what kind of songs Shen Huan would write when he specialized in writing love songs.

Facing Bao Xiaobei's gaze, Shen Huan raised his finger and pointed his brain, "Here." ”

“……”

Although he had heard a lot of amazing news tonight, hearing Shen Huan say this, Bao Xiaobei couldn't help but be surprised again, and couldn't help asking, "Do you plan to write on the spot?"

Shen Huan nodded and grinned, "Yes." ”

Bao Xiaobei really hadn't seen anyone even write a score, so he just found all the people first, which is too child's play! If he knew that Shen Huan hadn't even written a score before, he really had to think about whether to mess around with Shen Huan and call so many people out in the middle of the night.

But everyone is here, what else can be done?

Bao Xiaobei could only shake his head helplessly and said, "Then hurry up, the things here are quite complete, I'll take you there." ”

……

When Shen Huan was writing songs in the quiet recording studio, several people in Chaohua Recording Studio were sitting outside chatting, looking in through the glass from time to time, and caught a glimpse of Shen Huan's desk work.

"When is this going to be? This guy is too unreliable, isn't it?"

Guitarist Zhao Chen couldn't help but be the first to express his opinion on Shen Huan, and at this moment, Bao Xiaobei was sitting next to them.

Many young people who engage in music have not been smoothed out by society, and their tempers are very impulsive, which can be described as "", which Bao Xiaobei knows, so Bao Xiaobei is not surprised that Zhao Chen completely ignores him for saying this kind of thing directly - he is more stingy than Zhao Chen at Zhao Chen's age. After two more years of crawling and crawling, realizing that they are not peerless geniuses as they think, and then smoothed out by the pressures of reality and life, they will be much gentler.

Then Bao Xiaobei smiled bitterly, and it was hard to say anything, after all, he himself felt that Shen Huan was unreliable.

"There's nothing, just call us all over, and then let us wait here, what kind of stinking virtue? And this kind of temporary thing, can it be used? I think it's all rubbish......"

Zhao Chen really didn't care about scruples at all, chattering endlessly, Bao Xiaobei's face became even more embarrassed, but fortunately, Li Hao from this recording studio spoke out in time: "Okay, Xiaochen, talk less! Mr. Shen is indeed a capable person, don't you also admire his Chinese-style album?"

Li Hao still seems to have a bit of prestige, Zhao Chen finally stopped spraying, but he still couldn't help muttering: "I now doubt that his album was really written by himself, and ...... creative attitude like his."

But the voice is getting quieter and quieter.

Li Hao glanced at Bao Xiaobei with some embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Brother Bao, children can't speak." ”

He could only apologize to Bao Xiaobei, and he couldn't put pressure on Zhao Chen's side anymore - this kid was very wild, if he really provoked him, Li Hao believed that he would even dare to directly do it with Shen Huan inside.

It's good enough to get him to this extent.

Bao Xiaobei shook his head, "It's okay, weren't we like this when we were young?"

Li Hao also felt nostalgic: "Yes, I still remember that time, I was more stabbing than him, and that time I directly told ......" When Li Hao mentioned that name, Li Hao paused and said vaguely, "...... It's dry. Now that I think about it, it would be a lie to say that I don't regret it. ”

Bao Xiaobei also sighed, and then comforted: "But you are not bad now, you have your own recording studio, your wife and children are also there, and your life is much better than many people......

These two people are reminiscing about the past here, but a few young people over there are idle.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Chen became more and more impatient, rolled his eyes, and said casually: "Anyway, it's still early, go to the toilet!" Then he stood up and gave a look to the other people.

They all often play together, and they are familiar with each other, Zhao Chen's eyes came out, and several people understood what he meant.

He is going to slip away and give Shen Huan some color to see-you let us wait for you, then we will let you wait for us.

The newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and several young people are also not afraid of heaven and earth, and as soon as they made eye contact with each other, they stood up two more.

"I'll go too. ”

"Together. ”

Several people were about to open in an orderly manner, but the door of the recording room suddenly opened.

"I'm sorry, I've been waiting. ”

Shen Huan walked out of it with an apologetic face and a stack of papers in his hand.

A few people who were waiting outside looked at each other in unison, their eyes stunned.

What's the situation?

That's good?
