Chapter 52: Woman Flowers

Minghu Culture, Recording Studio.

Behind a transparent glass wall, Liao Liao was closing his eyes and slowly adjusting his breathing.

Outside the glass wall, there were four people sitting, in addition to a recording engineer, there were Li Qian, He Runqing, and Zhou Ye, who happened to come over to hang out.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Li Qian took Xie Bing back to Shuntian Mansion.

The next day, Liao Liao also came back, and then, Li Qian and He Runqing had a phone call, and everyone hit it off, and without waiting for the ordinary employees in the company to resume work, the three of them returned to the company first and started working.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the staff returned to their posts one after another, but Liao Liao and they had been in the company for two days, and the recording state that had to be cut off because they wanted to participate in the Spring Festival Gala a year ago has also been refounded.

Speaking of which, I have to mention, plus in the previous life, Li Qian has been in the music circle for 20 years, when it comes to singing, professionalism, and the ability to grasp and control his voice, Liao Liao and He Runqing are simply models and models for all singers.

Like Zhou Ye, of course he is also dedicated, and he also pays attention to protecting his voice, he was originally a very bright and high-pitched good voice, but after a year, when he came back, he heard that Liao Liao was working overtime in Minghu Company, so he came over as a guest, and everyone brightened his voice between laughs, and the stability and brightness of his voice can only play 60% of the normal level at best, but Liao Liao, even if he has just returned from his hometown. It's a long journey. A mouth. That's definitely 85 points up!

And after two days of adjustment, I feel completely recovered, and her voice can play above 95 points at any time - this is a super golden data for a singer!

Zhou Ye is simply impressed by this.

Inside the glass wall, Liao Liao felt that his breathing was evenly adjusted, opened his mouth and tried a few notes, and then he gave a thumbs up to the outside.

The recording engineer looked at Li Qian. Li Qian nodded and said, "Let's start!"

As he spoke, several people put on their headphones.

When the music started, Liao Liao squinted his eyes, swayed his body slightly with the music, and then pinched his breath and opened his voice on time, "I have a flower, planted in my heart, with buds to be released and secluded, towards the morning and twilight." I waited earnestly for someone with a heart to come to sleep. ”

Zhou Ye shook his head when he heard this. I enjoyed it immensely.

He Runqing closed his eyes and nodded slowly with Liao Liao's singing, as if praising Liao Liao's nuanced grasp of the song's feelings.

At this time, Li Qian was holding his shoulders and looking at Liao Liao, who was still shaking his body behind the glass wall.

The song "Woman Flower", from a technical point of view, it is difficult to say what test it will have on Liao Liao, in fact, its tune and lyrics, with Liao Liao's strength, it takes almost no effort to master it, even if it is an elegant feeling, there is almost no problem for her.

For producers, even if you want to pick bones in eggs, it's hard to find.

What can bother Li Qian can only be the classic voice in his previous life.

Anita Mui's voice is not absolutely excellent, especially compared with Liao Liao's level of voice, her comprehensive singing skills, excellent voice, and even the control of her voice are obviously inferior, but Anita Mui is a singer who is particularly good at using her voice, especially the low magnetism in her voice, affectionate and tactful, all over the Chinese pop music scene for thirty or forty years, not to mention transcendence, those who can break wrists with her are no more than one slap.

Therefore, Mei's version of "Woman Flower" has inevitably become a hurdle in Li Qian's heart.

But fortunately, whether it was because she saw Li Qian named the new album "Woman Flower", Liao Liao felt how much he valued this song, or whether the song itself really moved her, in short, on the basis of treating each song with great care, Liao Liao had to think a little more about the work "Woman Flower", so the version she performed almost made Li Qian speechless.

The first time, in the second paragraph, there was a breath in a little bit worse, the second time, her voice didn't seem to be completely opened, not diving enough, not completely interpreting the magnetism in the bass required by this song to perfection, the third time, after singing three sentences, Liao Liao interrupted by himself, it seemed that it didn't feel right.

But, this fourth time, she did it impeccably.

…………

Liao Liao sang emotionally, and Li Qian listened attentively.

It wasn't until the music completely fell that Liao Liao opened his eyes, the recording engineer gave her a thumbs up, and Liao Liao smiled, and then noticed Li Qian's abnormality.

He seemed to be looking at himself, but when he looked at him, he realized that he was actually wandering.

The gaze is blank and unfocused.

He Runqing led the applause, while Zhou Ye shook his head and sighed, applauding and sighing: "Sister Liao's singing skills are really ...... Admire!"

The applause and the sound of talking woke Li Qian up.

Noticing Liao Liao's inquiring gaze, Li Qian smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up, before turning his head to look at the recording engineer and asking, "How is the effect?"

The sound engineer shrugged and smiled, "Of course it seems to me to be perfect." ”

Li Qian smiled, turned his head to look at He Runqing and Zhou Ye, Zhou Ye immediately raised his thumb, "I didn't say it, it's perfect!", He Runqing also nodded, "I think it should be no problem." ”

Li Qian nodded, leaned back in the chair, and rubbed his chin with his right hand.

Several people in the recording studio couldn't help but be quiet.

Zhou Ye was a little surprised, but he really couldn't understand that Liao Liao had already sung to this level, why Li Qian was not happy at all, but looked full of sadness, He Runqing couldn't help but glance at the recording engineer, and each other's eyes were a little puzzled.

Liao Liao, who was only behind the glass wall, was not in a hurry at all, and simply put his hands in his pockets. Don't say anything. There is no rush to get out of it either. Just looked at Li Qian through the glass wall.

After a while, Li Qian got up and paced slowly in the recording studio.

Everyone was staring at each other.

After a while, Zhou Ye leaned over and whispered to the sound engineer, "Play it back for me." ”

The sound engineer nodded, but before he could make a move. He Runqing made a silent movement, raised his index finger, and "shh

Zhou Ye was stunned for a moment.

Seeing the seriousness in He Runqing's eyes, he blinked his eyes and didn't dare to say anything, but immediately turned his head to look at Li Qian.

In this circle, Li Qian's ability to write songs has long been questioned by no one, and his ability to produce and supervise. It is also well-known in the circle. However, no matter how many legends are made by outsiders. No matter how you say that someone with a nose and eyes is not as touching as someone who has worked with him personally.

Like Liao Liao, like He Runqing, like the disbanded Wuxing Wusu, when cooperating with Li Qian, don't care if he is not a penny, or when he is still popular, each of them will obey Li Qian's words, and almost never have the slightest doubt.

For Li Qian's feelings, for his grasp and control of his works, they almost unconditionally trust and rely on them.

And whenever there is a situation like this, when Li Qian falls into some kind of contemplation in the recording studio, they will subconsciously keep absolute quiet, and do not want to interfere and influence Li Qian's train of thought in the slightest.

Because whenever this happens, it often means that there will be a big adjustment in the direction of the next recording.

And the facts have been proven time and time again: his adjustments are always correct.

…………

The room was so quiet that pins could be heard.

Only Li Qian's slow and stiff footsteps kept ringing.

Everyone even deliberately lightened their breathing, patiently waiting for him to think it through.

After a few minutes, finally, he stood still, took a deep breath, suddenly turned around and walked back, did not press the call button, through the glass wall, and said loudly to Liao Liao: "Pick up the score, pay attention, drop half a K again, give it a try." ”

He Runqing was stunned for a moment, and then frowned and thought hard, but Zhou Ye opened his mouth in surprise when he heard this.

A song is about to be recorded, but it suddenly has to drop by half a K, this drop sounds simple, but for singers, it is even more difficult to practice the song from the beginning and find the feeling than to re-practice a song! Not to mention that the previously recorded accompaniment will be invalidated, and it will be rehearsed and re-recorded.

However, as soon as Li Qian said this, Liao Liao was only slightly stunned, and then picked up the score on the stand in front of him and began to read the score, while He Runqing only frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded, and did not express even a single opinion.

The two biggest names in the recording studio didn't speak, and they didn't have any objections, Zhou Ye just came over with a dead face to listen, of course, it was even more impossible, he didn't dare to tell the truth, and he was not qualified to say anything.

However, after saying the request, pulling out the chair and sitting down, Li Qian thought about it again, grabbed the microphone again, pressed the call button, and said to Liao Liao inside: "You don't want to think about anything else, I just want to try, so, find K, there is no accompaniment for you, sing a few words, let me listen to it." ”

Liao Liao raised his head when he heard this, and nodded outside.

Then she lowered her head again to look at the score and began to hum quietly.

At this time, He Runqing finally came over and asked in a low voice: "Do you think it would be better to drop half a K?"

If it was in normal times, Li Qian would have to explain a few words to her, and even many times, even if He Runqing didn't take the initiative to ask, in order to cultivate her behind-the-scenes production ability, Li Qian always took the initiative to explain to her whenever she encountered similar changes. But this time, He Runqing took the initiative to ask, and after hesitating for a while, Li Qian just smiled and said, "It's just a feeling, and suddenly I want to try the effect of diving a little more, but it's not necessarily." ”

He Runqing nodded, picked up the score beside him, grabbed a pen, compared and stroked on it, marked the lowered K, and then hummed quietly.

For this situation, recording engineers are already commonplace, and they don't feel any different, but Zhou Ye, who watched Li Qian's work up close for the first time, was a little surprised and surprised, his eyes blinked, and his eyes kept turning around Li Qian, He Runqing and Liao Liao.

…………

More than ten minutes passed, and there was no sound in the recording studio except for the whispered humming of Liao Liao and He Runqing inside and outside the glass wall.

Liao Liao is still looking down for the feeling of the new K. He Runqing was also frowning and humming softly. It seems that he is attentively understanding the reason why Li Qian suddenly asked for a drop of half K.

But this time. Li Qian, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, sighed, then opened his eyes, pressed the call button, and said into the microphone: "Forget it, don't practice, just follow the version just now, it's actually good enough!"

Liao Liao raised his head in astonishment.

He Runqing also looked at it in surprise.

Inside and outside the glass wall, everyone looked at Li Qian in puzzlement.

Li Qian made a gesture. seemed to want to explain something, but in the end, he just smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "It was just an idea that popped up just now, but I thought about it myself just now, and I thought about it again, and I thought that it was better to forget it, and it was okay not to try, in fact, the time just now was really good enough, and that's it." ”

Except for Li Qian. In this time and space, it is impossible for anyone to have heard Anita Mui's version of "Woman Flower". It is even more unlikely that anyone will have such a "bass complex", and it is impossible for Li Qian to tell the real reason.

In fact, combined with Liao Liao's voice characteristics, the current Liao Liao version of "Woman Flower" has already been promoted by Li Qian to K when it was shown to Liao Liao, which is more suitable for Liao Liao's voice to play.

Therefore, when Li Qian himself came out of that complex, he quickly figured out that it was actually just a certain taste in his memory, and the Liao Liao version that had been promoted to K was actually no worse than Anita Mui's version.

In that case, memories or something, complexes or something, let's put it aside.

In this world, there will be no Mei version of "Woman Flower", and the one that is about to become a generation of classics will be Liao Liao's version of "Woman Flower".

But there is no doubt that at this time, Li Qian's decision to come and go suddenly, based on his simple explanation, is not enough to make Liao Liao and He Runqing, two insiders, clear their doubts.

After all, this is not a minor adjustment, this is a sudden proposal to reduce K when the recording is already ready to be announced!

So, after thinking about it, Liao Liao suddenly said: "I just looked for a feeling, it seems to be pretty good, why don't I sing a few words first, can you listen?"

He Runqing nodded immediately when he heard this, and said to Li Qian in agreement: "I also tried it just now, although it was already low enough, but if it is lowered by half a K, it seems to have a different taste? Let Liao Liao try it! This sound range, although it is a little lower, but Liao Liao's voice is still fine." If I'm not mistaken, her voice is also nice in this register. ”

When Li Qian heard this, he looked at Liao Liao, and then at He Runqing, rubbed his palm on his chin for a moment, shook his head helplessly and smiled, but finally said to Liao Liao: "It's okay, if you are willing to try, then try." ”

Liao Liao nodded, and looked down at the score again.

After a while, she sang: "I have a flower, planted in my heart, with buds waiting to be released......

After brushing it, Zhou Ye subconsciously shivered.

At that moment, Liao Liao's low and magnetic voice seemed to pierce his soul at once, making him feel that the hairs on his body stood up all at once!

“…… Morning and twilight, I eagerly waited, and those who had a heart came to dream. Woman flowers, swaying in the red dust, woman flowers, gently swaying with the wind. I only hope that there will be a pair of warm hands that can soothe the loneliness in my heart. ”

At the beginning, Liao Liao's voice was slightly jerky, and the singing was not as round as the original K, which had been practiced, but singing and singing, it seemed that Liao Liao herself also sensed the tactful and affectionate feeling of the voice after diving half a K again, so the more she sang, the more she sang, the more affectionate she became.

By the end, she had almost forgotten herself.

As before, her body swayed slightly, and her eyes closed emotionally.

And at this moment, Li Qian looked at her stupidly.

A sour feeling hit the tip of his nose, and when he heard half of it, he couldn't help but tilt his head back, and only then could he barely control a certain throbbing in his heart.

That's what it feels like, that's what it tastes like!

Even if Aunt Mei is resurrected, even if Aunt Mei listens to it herself, you have to applaud it!

…………

After singing a cappella song, Liao Liao slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Qian outside the glass wall with a smile.

Li Qian also smiled and gave her a thumbs up, unconcealing the agitation and appreciation in his heart.

But at this time, not only He Runqing and Zhou Ye, but even the recording engineer couldn't help but look at Li Qian in surprise - obviously, this song has finally evolved to this point, as a first-hand witness from beginning to end, although he is likely to be the one with the lowest music level among the few people present, but he is the most deeply touched.

And the most important thing is that after the K drop, the moving degree of this song, even for him who has heard it countless times, has a kind of shock as if he has been pierced through the soul.

A moment later, He Runqing was the first to applaud.

Then Zhou Ye seemed to have just woken up from a big dream, and suddenly applauded excitedly.

He Runqing shook her head and sighed, "Awesome! This song is here, and it feels like I'm suddenly alive!" As she spoke, she didn't hide her admiration on her face and eyes, looked at Li Qian seriously, and said, "You are really ...... Ah, I don't know what to say!"

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Liao Liao again, and waved at Liao Liao with a smile.

Liao Liao took off the headset, opened the door and walked out.

He Runqing asked with a smile: "Your voice is really ...... Diving here, do you feel struggling? Bass is not your best vocal range, but you still have such a play, I am speechless. ”

Liao Liao smiled, "It's okay, it's a little tight, it should be no problem to turn around a few more times." ”

After finishing speaking, she looked at Li Qian and said with a smile: "Then let's go according to this version?"

Li Qian nodded and said with a smile: "OK, no problem." When I got back, I arranged for someone to re-record the accompaniment. ”

Liao Liao nodded and laughed slowly.

At this time, Zhou Ye suddenly stood up, stretched out his hands, raised them high, first in the direction of Li Qian, solemnly bowed three times in a row, and then turned around and bowed three times in a row at Liao Liao.

Everyone looked at him with smiles on their faces.

Liao Liao is the most familiar with him, and he usually has a lot of contacts, so he couldn't help but laugh and said, "What are you doing here?"

Zhou Ye didn't speak, just worshipped.

As a singer, of course he is extremely curious about Li Qian, a legend in today's music industry, and I don't know how many times he has thought about what would happen if Li Qian could personally help him create an album, but what is the concept of Li Qian helping to create an album?

Zhou Ye didn't understand it before, and he couldn't imagine it.

But now, in addition to the popular albums and data and records one after another, Zhou Ye feels as if he has suddenly seen another mountain.

So, after worshipping, he said solemnly: "I'm worshipping God, you are simply immortals!"

Liao Liao laughed.

After a few days of rest, I thought it would take at least a few days, and I had to write for a few days in a row to gradually get back to the state of the codeword, but I found that I was writing and writing, and it felt good! )
