Chapter 62: New Songs
It took two days for Li Qian to have an in-depth chat with Zhuang Meiyue, Ge Releng and Zhao Yuan one by one.
And each of them also got the opportunity to sing a few songs in front of Li Qian.
I have to admit that after this half-year systematic professional study and combing, they are much stronger than them half a year ago.
Big things are difficult to change, such as the voice, such as the vocal cords, but the small details have many adjustments, such as the method of vocalization, such as breathing, such as the understanding and use of one's own voice, and so on.
Through this half a year of study, Li Qian feels that they have basically laid a solid foundation.
The sound of Gerileng is atmospheric, and the midrange and bass range are quite durable.
Zhuang Meiyue's voice is as shallow and sad as ever, I feel slightly ahead of Mo Wenwei, and a little wider than Xu Ruyun's voice, singing to some special timbre, she is even a bit like Ah San, in short, it belongs to the kind of voice with distinctive characteristics, but in the current music scene, it will definitely be regarded as the kind of voice that has no development prospects.
As for Zhao Yuan...... Among the three people, he is the least characteristic of his own.
The treble is not bright enough, the bass is slightly less stable, even after hard study and training, his innate conditions still determine that he can only take the path of mid-frequency. Thankfully, his midrange is nice.
In particular, there was a rather rare sadness in his voice - this was something that Li Qian valued very much in the first place!
Now that the foundation is firmly established, it is of course necessary to start thinking about the next development.
In fact, at the beginning of entering the company, Li Qian had already planned their ideas for the future, and after the end of the study, he felt their progress in grasping the details, and Li Qian's ideas were completely determined.
After chatting and discussing with the three of them separately. In the end, despite Qi Jie's absence, Li Qian still called Li Jinlong and Sun Meimei to the office and completely finalized the development route for the three of them.
Zhuang Meiyue takes the route of urban love songs, and the number of sad songs is reluctantly classified. She should be regarded as the closest to Xu Ruyun and Lin Yilian; Ge Releng takes the route of big songs, big works, as well as theme songs of film and television dramas, public welfare songs, etc., if you want to classify them, they are relatively close to Han Lei, Tengger, Wang Zhengzheng, and Zhao Yuan...... The most suitable path for him is undoubtedly ballads, as well as some love songs.
Set the development ideas and direction, and the follow-up work, Li Qian officially got rid of it and handed it over to the production department. As the manager of the production department, Li Jinlong will have to think about making albums for the three of them from now on.
Li Qian is not ready to test the waters with a single like other companies, with decades of experience in the music industry, especially the extremely impressive history of the development of the pop music industry in his mind, coupled with a large number of resources in his hands, he is confident that as long as he is optimistic about the singer who thinks he can get up. Then you will be able to get up.
So, don't test the waters. Straight out of the album.
Of course, Li Qian promised to come up with a few songs for each of the three of them as the main song, and to some extent, it can also be regarded as using a few songs to make a positioning for their style. And the production of the album, although it will be handed over to Li Jinlong to lead people to do. But when the sample and trial recording come out, Li Qian will definitely still be responsible for the checks.
So, in the next few days, Li Qian took a few works to them after careful thinking and selection.
There are three works for Grilen. They are "Walking in All Directions", "Wild Goose" and "Beyond Dreams".
Among them, "Walking in the Quartet" is another classic golden song in the early nineties at that time, and "Beyond Dreams" happened to be used to make public welfare songs for Huaxia TV, although in the end it must be given to the sports channel, and the works to be used by the sports channel must also be the responsibility of the variety show channel, so on the one hand, there is no problem with the difference, on the other hand, as long as Huaxia TV is used, Na Ge Releng will definitely expand its popularity, which is equivalent to saying that with this song, even the first step of promoting the album is there.
As for "Hong Yan", it is a work with a strong Mongolian style, between folk songs and folk songs, and it is very suitable to sing it to the Mongolian Ge Rilen. Moreover, considering his special voice and atmospheric style, Li Qian is fully confident that he can sing these songs well.
For Zhao Yuan, of course, it is mainly folk songs and love songs, and for the sake of fairness, there are also three songs. They are: "It's Hard to Love Someone", "Empathy and Don't Love", and "Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Roses".
Among them, "It's Hard to Love a Person" is Su Yongkang's classic love song, Guo Feng's "Empathy and Farewell" was once popular in another time and space, plus a song from Tai Zhengxiao, which is absolutely a classic "Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Roses", it can be said that it can not only ensure the quality and sales of Zhao Yuan's first album, but at the same time, it can be regarded as giving him a clear positioning, that is, a sad singer.
As for Zhuang Meiyue, of course, it is also three songs. They are Xu Ruyun's masterpiece in another time and space, "One-man Show", Ah San's "Leaf", which is very good, but unfortunately has never been popular, and one of Lin Yilian's masterpieces, "Blown by the Cold Wind for You and Me".
It can be said that the whole album has a "one-man show", which is actually destined to become popular, because this is definitely a work that can go straight to the sky, plus the blessing of "Blown by the Cold Wind for You and Me", the commercial attributes and commercial achievements of this album can be guaranteed. Therefore, although "Leaf" is definitely relatively niche, Li Qian will not have the slightest worry. On the contrary, once sung well, the song "Leaves" can help her win over a lot of diehards.
Once the nine songs were taken out, Ge Rilen, Zhao Yuan and Zhuang Meiyue were of course overjoyed, and Li Jinlong also quickly gathered people and began to hold a meeting for them one by one in earnest.
However, after two days of hard work, the basic idea of the three of them for the new album was roughly determined.
Ge Rilen's new album is called "Walking in the Four Directions", Zhao Yuan's new album is called "Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Roses", and Zhuang Meiyue's album is undoubtedly called "One-man Show".
Li Qian has already given the songs, of course, the production department can already start production, and the singers also immediately began to practice songs, as for the works that are still missing, the production department has begun to make a large number of appointments internally and externally.
After dealing with these things, Li Qian finally began to be a little idle.

The current plot is in the stage of connecting the past and the future, and frankly, there are a lot of things...... Although I'm a little embarrassed, that's all for today, and in the last few days, I'm going to take a good look at it and smooth out the following plot. (To be continued.) )
