Just had lunch and the weather was hot.

The air conditioning in the conference room was ample and there were only three people sitting on one side of the round table.

Liu Xiayu, Li Ronghao and Galen.

They were all waiting for someone, who had already gotten off the plane and was rushing back to Li Qing, who came to the company.

Galen had never seen Li Qing, but from Li Ronghao's description of a few words, he noticed that this person seemed to be very arrogant and talented, but what kind of person he was had to be contacted before he could be defined.

However, as far as the three accompaniments he did, and the fact that he deliberately went to the United States for this purpose, it is enough to see that this person is still very strict with music.

When Li Ronghao's assistant came in for the third time to refill the water for everyone, Li Qingcai hurriedly came in, and as soon as he entered the door, he said, "Sorry everyone!

Although this is an apology, he feels that he has no apology at all, and it seems that it is just a mantra.

And he didn't say hello to Galen at all, just sat down on the chair, and then took out a pile of A4 paper in his bag and sorted it out.

Galen pursed his lips, it seems that Li Ronghao is right, he is really an arrogant maniac with no one in his eyes.

"Let's get started!"

Liu Xiayu spoke, Li Qing nodded directly, and then continued, "Let's talk about the selection of songs for the new album first! In addition to the three songs that have been accompanied, I chose nine songs, including "One Night in Beijing", "Chang'an Chang'an", "Memories of Zhengzhou", "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold", "Once You", "Betrayal", "I Am a Little Bird", "Just One Time" and "Bund No. 18", and strive to complete the production at the end of the month and release them in the middle of next month. ”

When Galen heard it, this included all but the three songs released on the soundtrack of the previous "The Year of Graduation" TV series.

He came over today and specially prepared a few songs, which seemed to be useless.

"With this selection of songs, will the whole album be too miscellaneous?"

Li Ronghao frowned, "Folk, rock, pop, classical style, rap...... With so many genres, will the audience be able to accept them?"

"Why not?"

Li Qingdao, "Multi-faceted flowering, the audience will always like one of the styles, if all take the independent niche route, I'm afraid the audience will not be too wide!"

"But ......"

"Nothing!"

Li Qing actually interrupted Li Ronghao directly, "While the movie hasn't been released yet, the original soundtrack of the three movies hasn't been released yet, it's the right thing to release the album quickly, and besides, time is pressing, can Galen come up with nine new songs now?"

“……”

Li Ronghao was furious, but he was speechless.

Yes, time is pressing, and if it drags on until Galen writes the rest of the songs and releases an album, then I don't know if it's the Year of the Monkey.

But he was unwilling to be so rudely accused by a junior subordinate, where did his old face go?

Suddenly, Galen spoke, "Who said I can't come up with a new song right now?"

Li Ronghao looked at Galen, only to see that his face was terrifying, and his eyes looked directly at Li Qing, and he didn't mean to flinch at all.

In an instant, Li Ronghao's heart trembled, could it be that this kid can really come up with nine songs?

Suddenly, he remembered something.

It seems that the song "Memories of Zhengzhou" was written when Galen went to the toilet.

and "Chang'an Chang'an", which was also written at the roadshow in Chang'an.

In particular, the song "Bund 18" was not only written the night before the Modu Roadshow, but also the arrangement and accompaniment were also produced overnight.

Not only did it not affect the perfect performance the next day, but it also created a lot of topics.

Thinking of this, Li Ronghao seemed to have a shot in the arm for a moment, his chest stiffened, and he looked at Galen with a smile, "Aaron, you came prepared this time, right? I wrote a few poems and took them out for everyone to hear!"

Li Qing frowned slightly and stared at Galen.

Can he really come up with nine songs now?

But then he thought, what about taking it out? Isn't it necessary to examine the quality?

How many singers make an album, and nearly 100 songs will be eliminated from the previous song selection, like Liu Xiayu's original song selection, it is even more the elimination of thousands of songs.

No matter how strong Galen's original skills are, can he be so strong that every capital he takes out can be used?

The main song is not forced, and the non-main song can't be too secondary?

"I've brought four with me today, but if I need to, I can write five more now!"

Galen said with a smile, but his eyes kept staring at Li Qing and did not change.

Li Qing is not shocked, he also writes songs himself, and there are nearly 100 songs in stock, so it's not easy to take nine songs out at random?

But to be of high quality, it is not so easy to come up with songs that can be included in the production and release of albums.

"Then let's listen to the four songs you brought today!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was stiff, Liu Xiayu had to speak.

"Okay!"

Galen was not timid at all, took out the USB drive he had with him, and handed it to Li Ronghao.

Li Ronghao hurriedly took it and hurriedly plugged it into the laptop in front of him.

After a while, there was a strumming of the acoustic guitar in the stereo, followed by the intervention of electric guitar and drums, all of which Galen had done at home, and after the home studio was completed, he had spent most of his time in it.

The production is a bit rough, after all, it's just a sample, and it's far from the original.

But Galen wanted to learn to try his hand at making it, even if it was a copy, and get rid of the bad habit of using the downloaded original song as an accompaniment.

After a long time of accompaniment to the original song, not only will there be problems, but also if someone finds out the clues, it will be miserable.

Although the production is rough, as soon as the melody of the song comes out, the expressions of the three are different.

"I want to know, how long can a meteor fly!"

"Is it worth seeking?"

"Flowers in the night sky, scattered behind you!"

"I've been happy for a long time, it's worth waiting!"

……

"Willingly, fall into your hands!"

"Feather, into a rainbow in the night!"

"Transformation, into the breeze of moonlight......"

At first, the three of them thought it was a ballad, but as soon as they sang it, it dawned on them that this was rock!

Galen kept staring at Li Qing, and as soon as the music came out, he made a very careful listening appearance, without the slightest contempt.

And halfway through, his expression frequently showed appreciation, and he even closed his eyes for a while, intoxicated.

This time, Galen couldn't understand Li Qing again.

Is he mean and rude, or is he blunt and serious?

The music gradually came to an end, and it was changed to an acoustic guitar, and the song was sung to the last line:

"I want to know, how long can a meteor fly, and I have been happy for a long time......"

After being silent for about ten seconds, Li Qing was the first to applaud, he did not make an embarrassment after being slapped in the face, but naturally praised, "Yes, this song is well written!

"What's this song called?" Liu Xia asked out loud.

"It's called Meteor!"

Galen smiled, this is just a little bit of material, the main event is in the back!

"Shooting stars?"

The three of them silently tasted and tasted, Li Qing directly picked up the pen and drew a line on the paper, "Then use this song to replace "Betrayal"! The whole album is a little more alternative. ”

"Put it down!" he said eagerly.

"Humph......"

When Li Ronghao heard that he was being commanded again, he couldn't help but snort angrily.

But he involuntarily played the next song, because he was also looking forward to what kind of surprises would follow.

As soon as the second piece of music came out, everyone was stunned.

How is it still the accompaniment music of "Shooting Star"?

"Lao Li, did you misplace?" Liu Xiayu couldn't help but ask.

"No?"

Li Ronghao glanced at it, and suddenly said strangely, "Huh, Aaron, didn't you say four songs? Why are there five songs in this?"

"Nope!"

Galen shook his head and smiled, "This is one song, and it's also two songs, let's listen to it first!"

The three of them were a little confused, but by this time the song had already come out.

"Look-at-the-stars!"

"Look-how-they-shine-for-you!"

"And-everything-you-do!"

"yes'they-were-all-Yellow!"

……

The melody is exactly the same as "Shooting Star", but in English.

It turns out that this is what Galen meant when he said "both one and two".

Liu Xiayu and Li Qing are both people who have been in the United States for many years, and they are very sensitive to English, although they are not as kind as their native language, but they are still very emotional when they hear it.

It seems to have gone back to the time when I worked with the Americans.

However, after listening to a few paragraphs, the two found a problem and couldn't help but glance at each other.

- It's not American English, it's standard British grammar, and the style is very orthodox British rock.

British rock is not as complex and diverse as other types of rock, with the purest guitar, bass and drums, and the guitar is the core existence, with strumming and drums at a medium tempo, and the overall style will not be as anxious and manic as other rock styles, focusing on psychedelic and decadent colors.

What they didn't expect was that Galen not only played Chinese music and original music styles, but also played foreign music.

This discovery made them extremely excited, especially Liu Xiayu.

She has long accepted and accustomed to the style of foreign music, which is why she only released an album two years after returning to China, because among the outstanding creators in China, it is too difficult to choose a song that she is suitable for and likes.

Later, as a last resort, several songs in the album were written by foreign musicians, and then domestic lyricists were asked to fill in the Chinese words.

Now Galen has taken out this song, whether it is English words or Chinese words, it is very perfect, unconventional, and there is no sense of disobedience.

Liu Xiayu's excitement is that she has finally found the musician she wants, and it seems that the original decision to exchange shares for Galen to write an album for her was 100% correct.

Li Qing was also excited, in addition to having the same idea as Liu Xiayu, he valued Galen's jade even more, this is a rare talent!

As long as it is built well, it will definitely shine not only in the Chinese music scene but also in the international arena in the future.
