Chapter 61: A Clean Relationship
Oops hey!
This "Teacher Li Qian" shouted Teacher Li Qian so much that he stood up with sweat all over his body!
In a trance, I found a little bit of the feeling of the voice of China - that feeling is really as awkward as it is!
In his previous life, he lived to be in his thirties, and he was doing music and film and television, of course, he made people call the teacher, but in this life, he is only seventeen years old, and he has not graduated from high school...... The problem is that this person is still Wang Jingxue! She is Wang Jinglu's sister!
But what...... He could see that Wang Jingxue was very serious.
Although at this moment, Li Qian felt that the expression on his face must be more twisted than that of the other party, but after thinking about it, he still nodded, and while sitting down neatly, he said, "Okay, you sing, I'll listen." ”
Wang Jingxue was obviously relieved, and then, she took a deep breath, took off the guitar that had been behind her, hung it from the front, held it in her arms, and closed her eyes.
Then, a familiar prelude sounded.
It's actually "Persistence" again!
Wang Jingxue's guitar is played quite well, and the guitar arrangement is also very plain, although it is not as gorgeous and dazzling as Cao Zhan, but the taste that should be set off is still immediately given.
Then, with her eyes closed, she sang: "When every night comes, loneliness is always around me......"
Hearing the first sentence, Li Qian frowned.
Then, as he listened, he couldn't help but reach out and grab his chin, frowning and pondering.
Wang Jingxue's voice conditions are quite good, and her singing skills are also quite good, her voice is clear, high-pitched, and penetrating, but it is obvious. There was a little bit of flavor missing from her voice.
That taste...... It's inexplicable, it's unclear, but it's deadly.
On a certain level. You can understand this taste as the passage of time and the accumulation of years to bring the singer himself the emotional precipitation and form of the feeling, with this thing, you can let a singer always find the right entry point when expressing and interpreting the feelings of a song, and always find the right taste.
But at the end of the day, it's a matter of talent.
It's just that some people's talents are at the top, even if they are only seventeen, eighteen, or twenty years old, when he opens his mouth, there is a full emotional accumulation and a full sense of time.
And there are some people who really need to be polished through the years. to gradually grind away some of the things wrapped in the outside, so as to gradually show the wisdom roots, showing the subtle grasp of the feelings of the song.
Therefore, as long as Liao Liao calms down in a song like "Persistence", she can sing more flavorful than Li Qian, the "original author", which makes you feel good no matter how you listen to it. In Li Qian's opinion. Her version was even better than the original song from another plane. But when it comes to Wang Jingxue, she is right about everything, the guitar chords are no problem, the pitch is no problem, and the tension of the sound is enough. But if you take this version of what she sings to a professional and listen to it. And they would say, "No, you sang it." No taste!"
Of course, I have to admit that Wang Jingxue sings very seriously and even emotionally.
The song "Persistence" was sung quickly, she took a breath, raised her head to look at Li Qian, and saw that he was just looking at herself with a calm face, so she secretly gritted her teeth and said, "Can I sing another song?"
Li Qian nodded.
The second song is "Wildflowers".
It can be seen that she really likes these songs written by Li Qian for Liao Liao, and she should not only listen to them less, but also probably practice them a lot, and put in a certain amount of effort, so in fact, she sings really well.
It's just a little bit lacking in flavor.
With a little taste, it can be Liao Liao, it can be recognized as a powerful singer, even if it is a sudden overnight popularity, it is still well-known in the entire circle, and no one will be jealous and slandered.
But without that little bit of flavor, even if you are popular, it will be considered a fluke!
She soon finished singing "Wild Flowers" again.
Moreover, I don't know if it was because of nervousness or what, although Li Qian was distracted, she still heard it, and she seemed to have a sentence in the middle that was out of tune, half a note lower.
She obviously knew it herself, so when she looked up at Li Qian after singing, her face, which had always had no expression, couldn't help but show a hint of apprehension.
Li Qian didn't look at her, didn't speak, just lowered his head and pondered.
So she gritted her teeth and began to sing again.
This time it was finally not soft rock, she chose "My Hometown of Love".
Well, not to mention, comparatively speaking, an atmospheric and unrestrained song like "My Hometown in Love", when singing, the feelings required are rougher, and the singer does not need to show such a clear and delicate sense of layering, so the feeling of her singing is obviously better than the two songs "Persistence" and "Wild Flowers".
Li Qian nodded slowly after hearing a few words, looking thoughtful.
Then, she actually sang the fourth song, "Unfinished Love".
It's just that...... Appalling!
Her voice was originally excellent, and when she used it to sing the gentle Chinese style of "Unfinished Love", first of all, it must be effortless at all, and secondly, there should be a very unique and clear feeling, which is very different from Liao Liao's version.
But...... Not at all!
I don't know if it's because she's a northern girl, or because her usual personality is too cold, in short, such a soft and soothing slow love song is hard for her to sing......
Li Qian's brows furrowed tightly.
Well, it's almost confirmed, her voice is very good, but her musical talent is not excellent, at least compared to Liao Liao, it is a grade and a half worse.
Don't underestimate this grade, just this grade, it's almost enough for her to chase for ten years!
It may not be able to catch up!
Therefore, songs that pay attention to singing skills, songs that pay attention to style, and songs that are more literary and artistic...... And so on, it's not quite for her.
Finally, "Unfinished Love" was sung.
This time, she stopped completely and didn't continue singing.
Li Qian pushed the cup of boiled water on the coffee table in front of her, and then sat on the sofa frowning and thinking.
Wang Jingxue was not polite. I took two sips from my cup.
Then, she looked at Li Qian with some apprehension.
A moment later. Li Qian raised his head, smiled at her, and beckoned first, "Sister Jingxue, you sit down first, sit down first!"
Then, he got up and walked to his speaker, flipped out the tape of Liao Liao's album from the side, looked at it, put it in the Walkman and poured it, and then pressed play. The speaker switch is turned on.
Coincidentally, it is the end of the previous song, and the next song is exactly the song "Unfinished Love" that Wang Jingxue sang just now.
As soon as Liao Liao opened his voice, Wang Jingxue's face became a little ugly.
That's right, although her talent is a little worse than Liao Liao, she is also professional-level after all. is a professional singer, whether what she sang just now is good or not, and what is compared to Liao Liao's original singing, she is actually bright in her heart.
Moreover, she sang four songs just now, and this one is the worst!
Li Qian just released this one!
So, she had to bow her head.
The song is put halfway through. Li Qian got up and turned off the Walkman. Then he turned around and sat down and found that Wang Jingxue was still standing there. He beckoned her to sit down again.
Finally, Wang Jingxue sat down on the small stool.
Long legs, low stools, and a pair of high heels, you want to go in that position...... How awkward it is to be.
At this time, Li Qian asked, "Did you write the chords yourself?"
Well, that's another sore spot.
Wang Jingxue shook her head, "I asked a teacher to help make it up, and you made up all the five songs you wrote for Liao Liao." I...... I can't write music myself, and I can't make music. ”
Li Qian nodded, and suddenly fell silent.
It was about half a minute, of course, maybe a minute later, Li Qian suddenly spoke up again and said, "Sister Jingxue, actually, no matter what you say you are, you are Xiaolu's sister here in my place, this, you should know this, right?"
Wang Jingxue's face turned white.
Li Qian didn't wait for her to speak, and said again: "So, in fact, as long as you come to me to invite songs, I can't refuse! You should know this, right?"
After a moment, Wang Jingxue nodded with difficulty.
Yes, she knows.
And she knew it from the beginning.
Otherwise, when she faced the producer Li Jinlong, how could she dare to say so sure that she could find Li Qian to get a song?
It's just that it's a little difficult for her to really admit it. So before she came, she made the best preparations she thought she could do, so she had to tell herself again and again that she wanted to meet him as a singer, to sing to him as a singer, and to impress him with her voice......
It's all!
said a thousand ways and ten thousand, didn't he come to him because he was Erya's sister?
Now, with a brush, the fig leaf is lifted.
Wang Jingxue's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but feel the urge to escape from this place quickly, but in the end, she still endured it.
Well, maybe what Li Qian wants is just to bow his head?
Does he want to make himself bow his head and admit that he is actually in love with Erya?
So...... Hey, haven't you always disagreed with Wang Jinglu getting too close to me? Didn't you look down on me since I was a child, and didn't even let me play with Xiaolu? So what?
If you weren't Wang Jinglu's sister, why would I write a song for you?
At this moment, Wang Jingxue felt as if she should say something, whether it was to bow her head or continue to maintain her pride that no longer existed, anyway, there had to be two sentences.
But at this moment, she felt that her throat was tight and dry, and she could hardly say a word.
Well, actually...... Don't want to say.
stiffened and didn't bow his head, he was going to go back to dancing, and he bowed his head...... In the future, don't think about Er Ya and his affairs again! Because he will become a vested interest in the relationship between the two of them!
But at this time, to her surprise, Li Qian did not wait for her to speak, but took the initiative to speak again.
He said: "As soon as you entered the door, you said that I hope today's incident has nothing to do with Wang Jinglu, and I don't want to involve her in it, I thought about it just now, and this is actually very good." It's not just her, I think, the past, no matter what the grievances and grievances are. It's okay if you're still a child and you're not sensible, anyway. Let's just let them all pass! Between us, it's clean now, okay? And we can just act as Wang Jinglu doesn't exist, you are the singer, Wang Jingxue in the Five Elements Wusu group, I am a musician, Li Qian. What we want to talk about is pure musical cooperation. This...... Is that okay?"
Wang Jingxue raised her head in surprise.
But Li Qian's expression was calm and serious, and he didn't mean to make fun or joke at all.
He was serious.
However, such a good opportunity to let himself have no face to meddle in the affairs between him and Erya in the future. He just let it go so lightly?
Wang Jingxue was a little incredulous, but after a moment, she still nodded.
Because she had to nod.
What Li Qian said was exactly what she longed for before she came.
Seeing her nodding, Li Qian said "um" and said, "Since that's the case, then oK." You're a singer, I'm a musician, I need to sell my work to make money, you need to buy my songs and send them back, so ...... The next thing I'm going to talk to you about is the price. ”
Hearing him say this, Wang Jinglu hurriedly said, "Don't worry about this." Absolutely no problem. My producer said it before I came. As long as you are willing to write songs for us, 80,000 is not enough for 180,000. If that's not enough, I'll go back and help you get a higher price!"
Li Qian smiled when he heard this, and said, "This question shouldn't be what you talked to me about. Actually...... Well, who told me that I didn't have an agent, so I had to talk about these things myself!"
At this point, he paused before continuing: "That's right, I can write songs for you, and I can even oversee this album for you, but before that, I have three things that I need you to do. ”
Seeing Wang Jingxue nodded, he said: "First, I only listened to your voice, which is not enough, because there are five of you, so I want to see the other four people in your group and listen to their voices with my own ears." Therefore, it may take them a little time to run to Jinan Mansion. ”
Wang Jingxue nodded hurriedly when she heard this, "No problem." ”
Jokes, as long as Li Qian is willing to write songs for them, or even supervise and create an album by himself, not to mention Jinan Mansion, even Hainan Mansion has to rush over immediately!
And their requirements are very low, this album, especially the songs written by Li Qian in this album, it is enough to show your face on the golden song on-demand list even one of them!
At this time, Li Qian said: "Second, I need your company's help to contact a recording studio in Jinan in advance, and contact some suitable musicians in advance, so that I can record a sample for you after the songbook and arrangement come out." ”
Wang Jingxue nodded again, "I can call the producer when I go back, Huage is a big company, and it must have its own connections in Jinan Mansion, so there should be no problem with this." ”
Li Qian nodded and continued: "Third, I want to meet and talk to your producers. You know, if I were to write songs for you, or even oversee an album for you, it would be about your future style and direction, and my personal treatment, right?"
Every time Wang Jingxue heard it, her eyes brightened a little, because every article mentioned by Li Qian showed that he was really ready to take over this matter, not just talk about it. After listening to this last one, she nodded busily and promised: "I'll call him when I go back, I'm sure he will come over as quickly as possible!"
Li Qian said "um" and said, "That's the case, I want to say it in advance, because I'm still studying, so ...... Well, I don't have to go to the restaurant for a while, so we're out of school at 6 p.m. and I have to be home by 10 p.m., so if your company can provide dinner, I can have about four hours a day, and all day Saturday and weekend, to do a few demos of a few songs for you guys. ”
God is pitiful, dinner is not a stalk, Li Qian really said it as a stalk, because he felt that the two of them were sitting like talking about business, and Wang Jingxue was expressionless from beginning to end, which was too blunt, so he wanted to tell a joke to liven up the atmosphere. When he said this, he also shrugged his shoulders with humor - in fact, what record company would be so slamming the door that it was reluctant to take care of a boxed lunch?
But it's a pity that Wang Jingxue didn't understand it at all.
Or maybe they understood, but they didn't care at all, and they didn't think there was any need to smile.
So Li Qian had no choice but to put away his lame sense of humor, think about it in his heart, and said: "So, if you practice fast enough, it will take about a week or so to know if I can cooperate with you." ”
Wang Jingxue was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and asked, "Don't you need time to write songs?"
Li Qian smiled and said, "I can try to write a song for you tonight, and I will probably be able to catch up with the rest, if you write it while you practice the song." ”
When Wang Jingxue heard this, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
I've heard of writing songs fast, but I've never heard of them being that fast.
A week to write, practice, arrange, and record songs?
Listen to that meaning, how many more songs do you want to do together?
Anyone who changes this can't help but wonder in their hearts, isn't the other party going to write something casually to fool me?
Many people do it to write songs, and it is not uncommon to write several songs a week, but it is not so easy to write good songs, songs that can help the five elements to lay the style, point out the way forward, and even establish a market position!
At this time, Wang Jingxue couldn't help but have a moment of hesitation on her face.
But soon she came back to her senses and knew that before she saw the work, she was really not qualified and there was no need to question anything, after all, Li Qian had already made the list with five songs on one album, proving his own strength.
If you want to say doubts, at the age of seventeen and as a high school student, Li Qian actually wrote songs like "Wild Flowers", "Persistence" and "My Hometown of Love", isn't it more questionable?
So, she immediately stood up and said, "Then it's decided, I'll call tonight." ”
Li Qian also stood up, stretched out his hand with a smile, and said, "I hope we can cooperate happily!"
Wang Jingxue hesitated, reached out to hold his hand, and smiled reluctantly.
Then, she turned and walked towards the door. It's just that when she opened the door and walked out, she couldn't help but stand outside the door.
After a while, she looked back at Li Qian and said softly, "Thank you." ”
Li Qian couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said, "Look, in fact, we can still be friends, and I don't hate it that much, right?"
Wang Jingxue smiled reluctantly when she heard this, nodded, said "goodbye", and then turned around and went downstairs.
After closing the door and returning to the sofa to sit down, he took out his mobile phone and clicked on the text message, crackling and typing two lines with his hands, wanting to press send, but hesitated to stop, and finally deleted the matter.
Throwing away the phone, he Li Qian couldn't help but sigh.
Maybe from now on, I'm going to be really busy?
Well, though, let's try the water first.
"I hope the other four in their group aren't too bad!" he thought to himself.
