Chapter 120: Changing the song
"Works. Jiangxia said.
Gong Shan continued: "Works. Okay, let's talk about the work. The rest of the songs on your album, Peng Peng showed me a look, and I came to listen to the accompaniment last night. The song of the fake monk is considered rock 'n' roll, right? I can't stop loving you belongs to dance music, and Alocasia love belongs to soft rock? Have you considered your voice conditions? Can you sing these songs?"
I have to say that Gong Shan's questioning really stopped Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia thought about it a lot, and when choosing songs, he tried to choose some classic songs, even famous songs, in order to start the popularity of his album.
I really haven't thought about my voice conditions.
Zhang Pengpeng also nodded on the side and said: "Originally, I didn't find this problem, but after you calm down, sing this song again, how to say it, it feels awkward." It's not that you can't sing well, it's not that the song is bad, it's just that your voice is matched, and this kind of passionate music is a bit awkward. β
"That's right, your voice is not suitable for this kind of song. Gong Shan confirmed, "I don't believe you listen carefully to yourself, listen to your voice singing about your love and lilacs, you can hear the difference." β
Jiang Xia frowned, he didn't feel any difference, he felt that he should be able to control it, could it really not work?
Zhang Pengpeng said on the side: "Jiang Xia, just come and listen." β
Then Zhang Pengpeng showed him the complete version of "Lilacs", "Can't Stop Loving You" doesn't need to be played again, I just listened to it for Jiang Xia.
When Jiang Xia heard it, he really felt a little different. There is no problem with singing "Can't Stop Loving You", it's just that his voice is not suitable, but he can sing, but it is impossible to rap the taste of the original version.
"Hear a problem?" asked Gong Shan.
Jiang Xia nodded and smiled bitterly: "I heard it, I think it's a matter of course." β
He took it for granted, when he chose a song for Gong Shan, he didn't consider Gong Shan's timbre and voice conditions, and he saw that Gong Shan's final control was not bad, and he took it for granted that he could control it very well, but it didn't work.
It was a little difficult to sing "I still miss her" just now, and it couldn't reach JJ's level. He felt no problem singing "Can't Stop Loving You", but in comparison, he found that it was really not suitable, and there was no problem with the singing method and singing, so it was in the timbre.
At first, because I was dancing and singing at the same time, I ignored the voice problem. Now that I have stabilized and sung well, I found a big problem, it is not suitable, it is too inappropriate.
Gong Shan said: "Don't ask for these songs, and the song The Old Man and the Sea, how do you feel that it doesn't match your album? Since there are many love songs in the whole album, why don't you make an album full of love songs? Just take the road of love songs, your singing skills are really weaker now, some songs will be put on first, and when your singing skills come up, it will not be too late to sing again." β
"Then what should I do? Jiang Xia, can you come up with some more songs?"
Jiang Xia thought for a while and said, "That's fine, but I have to think about it." Alas. β
Gong Shan comforted: "It's not a big deal, in fact, it's no problem if you just sing these songs." Anyway, you are the original singer, so you have no problem interpreting it. But if you make up your mind that the first album will be known as the king of works, these songs are better to play. β
"Okay, I'll think about it, give me a vacation, I'll go home and think about it. Jiang Xia frowned.
Gong Shan nodded and said, "No problem, it's good to go back and think quietly." By the way, there's an awards event tonight, aren't you going?"
"I'm not in the mood to go right now. Jiang Xia said a little silently.
Then he waved his hand and walked straight out of the studio.
In the recording room, Gong Shan asked Zhang Pengpeng, "Do you think I hit him?"
"What's the fight? Singing skills? Are you telling the truth? Is his singing skills really general, far from you. Originally, when I helped you sing the sample, I thought he was good at singing, but now that I think about it, it's just because of the sample he sings. Later, even if I sing with you, it's the rap part of singing. Speaking of which, his rap is good, can you suggest him go this way? Zhang Peng said.
Gong Shan shook his head and said, "Look at what he likes." You go back and talk carefully, don't hit him again. β
"Damn, is the old lady the kind of person who doesn't know how to count?
Gong Shan looked at her quietly, looked at Zhang Pengpeng embarrassedly, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll be careful when I speak, okay? Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, he won't mind." β
"Be careful. Gongshan said.
Jiang Xia walked out of the studio alone and walked on the street, but he was not hit, but he was a little unhappy.
At the beginning, he came up with ten songs, and chose some of them with a high degree of popularity as much as possible, and also included as many people as possible, so as to increase his popularity.
But now it seems that he is too naΓ―ve, his singing skills can't keep up, and his voice conditions don't allow it. When Gong Shan's voice can't be reached, he can make up for it by singing, but he can't do it.
"No, singing skills must be practiced. When Jiang Xia returned home, he made up his mind.
Singing skills are not achieved overnight, he was not good at the beginning, it does not mean that he will not be able to do it in the future. It's like what Gong Shan said, now you can't sing skills, practice slowly, no one is invincible at the beginning of singing.
Moreover, his starting point is now higher than many people, it is nothing more than a problem in the selection of songs. So, it's good to change the song, I'm afraid of anything else, he is not afraid of changing the song at all.
When he returned home, Jiang Xia started a new round of brain-burning, and first wrote out the ten songs he had prepared.
"Dusk", "East Wind Breaking", "Alocasia Love", "The Old Man and the Sea", "Can't Stop Loving You", "Overheating", "I Still Miss Her", "Sunny Day", "False Monk", "Lilac".
Ten songs, first of all, we must cross out a few songs, "I Can't Finish Loving You", "Fake Monk", "Alocasia Love", after the three songs were crossed, Jiang Xia struggled with "Overheating", but finally retained it, and some difficult songs should be put on the album, polished well, so as to practice singing skills. He is going to practice his singing skills for this song, and when he sings this song well, his singing skills should also be able to improve a part.
Ten songs, minus three songs, there are seven left. Almost all of them are love songs, so it's the same as Gong Shan said, just go to the love song style album, and what love songs to add?
The first person who comes to mind is Eason Chan, and the first one to be excluded is also Eason Chan. His current singing skills are not suitable for singing Eason Chan. Lin Junjie also ruled it out, it is difficult to sing, and he needs to practice, and Lin Junjie will inevitably be the first choice for the next album, he believes that his singing skills will be improved to a higher level in a year.
Zhang Xinzhe is not very suitable, the difficulty of the song is a bit high, but Zhou Chuanxiong's song is very suitable, should another song be put in? Jiang Xia pondered.
Leaning on the back of the chair, Jiang Xia thought about it for a long time, and finally wrote down a song title, not Zhou Chuanxiong, but Mayday - "You Are Not Really Happy".
Jiang Xia can't remember which album this song is on, he has listened to Mayday relatively rarely, but he has also heard this song. In my previous life, my college roommate especially liked Mayday, and I played Mayday in the dormitory every day, and there were some songs, and I would do it if I didn't listen to them, and this was one of them.
After deciding on the first one, Jiang Xia continued to think about the second one, his album, he wanted to play something different, wanted to compose, and wanted to be stable, which was very entangled.
At the same time, his mind unconsciously began to think about the MV. After Gong Shan emphasized to him in the past two days, the MV has been spinning in his mind, and now thinking about the song, he unconsciously thinks of the MV.
He has seen the MVs of "Sunny Day" and "East Wind Breaking", and he can copy it exactly in a second.
Then there was a big problem, he hadn't seen any of the MVs for the rest of the songs.
He thought about it over and over again, and recorded his thoughts over and over again. Save time to forget.
Jiang Xia has studied acting and has also shot MVs by himself, so he has some experience in the shooting of MVs. The MV of a song can be a short story, or it can simply be a singer singing in a certain scene, or it can change scenes.
Jay's songs all like to tell stories. Many others are for the singer to lip-sync somewhere, and then match it with a good scenery, or add a beautiful woman to match, as long as it is edited, it is a MV.
Jiang Xia decided to make up a story, so he filmed the story, and if he couldn't make up a story, he replaced it with a scene. As far as love songs are concerned, it's still easier to make up stories, not to mention grabbing a lot of them, but you can also think of a lot of similar ones.
As for the MV of "I Still Miss Her", Jiang Xia was entangled, whether to bring up that Xu Xian's sadomasochism, would it seem a little too vulgar? Or is it too serious?
Thinking about it, Jiang Xia thought a lot, thought a little off, and thought a little tangled. Because there are too many ideas, whether it's choosing a new song or the MV of a settled song, it's quite tangled.
His entanglement was broken by the rumbling of his stomach, and he picked up his phone and glanced at it, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening.
After coming back in the afternoon, sitting here for a long time, he only thought that one song was appropriate, and Jiang Xia was helpless. It's not a good habit to wander around, and only one-tenth of the things recorded in his notebook can be used, and the rest are all waste.
With a sigh, Jiang Xia stood up to drink a glass of water and called for takeout.
picked up the mobile phone, only to find that Feng Lin sent a few text messages, asking Jiang Xia to pay attention to tonight's "Chinese Music Awards Event", even if he didn't go to the scene, he had to support Gong Shan on a meager basis.
Even the meager format after winning the award was sent to Jiang Xia editors.
Jiang Xia thought for a while, "Yes, there is an awards event tonight, Feng Lin said, I am likely to win the award today, I have to take a look." As for the meager ones, do you still use me for this kind of formatted meager hair?"
As he spoke, Jiang Xia called You Fangfei.
"Hey, what's going on with Jiangxia?" You Fangfei asked.
Jiang Xia said: "Sister Fang Fei, this kind of formatting is meager and I still send it?
"Jiang Xia, you can just send it, Sister Fang Fei is not available. She'll have to accompany me to the scene. Gongshan said.
Jiang Xia was a little stunned and asked, "Follow you to the scene?" What is Sister Fang Fei doing with you to the scene?"
"Hehe, guess what? Watch the live broadcast, maybe the camera will sweep to Sister Fang Fei. Oops, it's almost me, you just watch TV, don't talk about it. Gong Shan hung up the phone in a hurry.
Jiang Xia scratched his head, what kind of trouble? He was deep in the afternoon, could he not keep up with the times again?
Thinking that I was tired anyway, it would be good to take a break, so I turned on the TV and prepared to watch the live broadcast of the awards event.
