Chapter 184: Plan Ahead
In fact, Jay Chou is also such an example.
In the 21st century Chinese music scene, Jay Chou is definitely the NO.1 super king.
But even the most tolerant music fans will not associate Jay Chou's voice and singing skills with strength.
In a sense, Jay Chou is also the king who has been piled up by countless good works.
The only difference is that the songs he sings are all written by himself.
But if Jay Chou's songs are written by others, I believe that Jay Chou will become a super king, this is the power of a huge number of good works.
Huang Guolun has countless such classic works in his mind, not to mention one Shen Yumeng, there are ten Shen Yumeng, if he wants to make them popular.
As long as Shen Yumeng can stick to her bottom line as a person and have the courage and consciousness to stay in Kunlun Music, Huang Guolun will definitely not disappoint her.
Compared with Shen Yumeng, Yao Ming and Liu Yingqiao, who are still signed by Kunlun Music, will be more difficult to praise.
Yao Ming's voice is recognizable, and his singing is also very distinctive, but his singing skills are still relatively flawed at present.
Liu Yingqiao is the same, Huang Guolun also listened to her sing, this girl's voice is even more unrecognizable than Shen Yumeng, and her basic skills are not hard enough. She and Yao Ming need to grind for a few more years to really grind their singing skills above the level line, and they can only be fed with good works.
Otherwise, if the singing skills are too poor, and even the average level of a professional singer cannot be reached, then no matter how many good works are given to them, it will not help.
A non-sufficient but necessary condition for becoming a popular singer is that their singing skills are above the level line, and they do not need to be extraordinary, but they must have singing skills, so that they have the value of feeding.
But at present, after the southern job-hopping, only Shen Yumeng is the only one who can really talk about Kunlun music's singing skills.
Such a singer reserve is too small.
If Kunlun Music wants to gain a firm foothold in the circle, it is definitely not possible to rely on only one or two singers to excel.
They need a large number of powerful singers to be the mainstay of the company, so as to avoid the impact of southern job hopping on the company.
There are actually many singers in and outside the circle who have singing skills but have no chance to get ahead, but whether these people's character is reliable or not, whether they will be like the south, if they are smashed out with good works, they will immediately climb another high branch, it is difficult to say.
So now Huang Guolun doesn't dare to sign a singer casually and vigorously cultivate.
Lu Yao only knew that the horsepower was insufficient, and he saw people's doubts over time.
Regarding the matter of cultivating the backbone of the company, Huang Guolun is still in a hurry, so he has to look for it slowly and look slowly.
But the impact of the South on the company must be solved quickly.
After relieving himself from the bathroom that day, washing his hands and returning to the dining table, Huang Guolun's mood was no longer as happy as before.
Liu Qing and the others, who were kept in the dark, were still enjoying the joy of the return of the backbone, but Shen Yumeng's mood was obviously affected.
Huang Guolun didn't smile much when he saw her.
A few times when she and Huang Guolun inadvertently looked at each other, Shen Yumeng obviously had the feeling of avoiding his gaze, so Huang Guolun simply didn't look at Shen Yumeng to put pressure on her. Shen Yumeng can choose how he wants, and Huang Guolun doesn't force anything in this regard.
……
……
In the next two days, Huang Guolun did not move, and came to the company to accompany Yao Ming to practice singing and help him give him guidance.
After having divine hearing, Huang Guolun's ability to guide others is hundreds of times stronger than that of ordinary musicians.
He can hear all the details of when someone else sings, including the subtle changes in the singer's mood as it transitions to singing.
He knew that Yao Ming wanted to work hard in front of him and didn't want to disappoint him.
But singing with such a mood, Yao Ming tends to become more nervous.
Huang Guolun enlightened Yao Ming for a while, so that this kid let go of his psychological baggage and sang to his heart's content.
But because of the lack of qi, Yao Ming couldn't sing many things.
In his strongest high range, some very sharp emotions and that kind of super oppressive force, Yao Ming always gives people a feeling of being out of breath.
In the end, Huang Guolun had to make some changes to Yao Ming's song "The Sky is High and the Earth is Thick", so that he could shorten the length of his breath when singing, and sing the song as stably as possible first, so as not to leave too many flaws and mistakes and traps.
If it is changed in this way, the expressiveness and tension of the high dynasty of "The Sky is High and the Earth is Thick" will be greatly reduced.
But there is no way, in order to cope with the interview of the program team, Huang Guolun can only help Yao Ming make such a trade-off.
……
……
I was going to an interview the next morning, and after dinner in the company that evening, Huang Guolun asked Yao Ming to go home early to rest, so don't open your voice tonight, take care of your throat, and try to show the best state tomorrow to deal with the interview.
After sending Yao Ming away, Huang Guolun did not rush home, but came to Liu Qing's office, closed the door, and asked Liu Qing about the situation in the south.
As expected, after being busy with the business show in Xia Cheng this afternoon, Nanfang really asked the company for a week off.
Liu Qing felt that Nanfang had been busy in the dark recently, and he really needed to rest and rest, so he granted Nanfang a leave of absence and asked his brokerage team to adjust the work schedule for him.
At present, the brokerage team with the south has returned to Beijing from Xiacheng, and the south himself has not come back, it is said that he is going to stay in Xiacheng for vacation.
"What about Xiaomeng, did she take a leave of absence? she didn't accompany the south to take a vacation?" Huang Guolun casually asked about Shen Yumeng's situation.
Liu Qing glanced at the door, and when he saw that the door was closed, he smiled wryly and joked: "What kind of leave does Xiaomeng ask, she has been idle for almost half a month." There's an Internet radio interview in two days, and she's preparing for it. ”
Huang Guolun nodded knowingly, frowned slightly, and hesitated whether to tell Liu Qing about the job change in the south, so as not to let Liu Qing and the others go so blindly to talk about the work in the south.
But thinking about it again, if there are any new changes in the past few days, and the south doesn't leave, he wants to tell Liu Qing that the south is leaving, and things should become troublesome.
Anyway, it's not a few days away, it's a matter of the next few days whether the south can go or not, so let's wait for the matter to come out and discuss it with Liu Qing to see how to solve the problem in the south.
He didn't say anything in advance.
"Do you have something to tell me?"
Liu Qing saw that Huang Guolun seemed to have something on his mind.
"It's nothing, I'm thinking about seeing when I will write some new songs for Xiaomeng and them, didn't you tell me before, the songs that the musicians invited by the company to write for them are not good enough. ”
"It would be great if you could write songs for them! But you're just recovering from your body, so don't work too hard. Wait until you're completely healthy before writing songs for them, let's not rush at this time. ”
Liu Qing also studied music, and usually creates in private, but she is better at making movie soundtracks and is not very good at writing pop songs.
But no matter what song he writes, Liu Qing knows very well that this process is very torturous, and musicians need to consume a lot of mental and physical strength to "grind" the work, and sometimes the progress is not smooth, and it may not be possible to grind out a finished song in a month or two.
This kind of pressure is a kind of physical and mental torture for the creator.
She didn't want to watch Huang Guolun lie down and recuperate as soon as he came back.
Huang Guolun could feel Liu Qing's care and understanding for him from the bottom of his heart, smiled warmly, and said, "Okay, I'll pay attention." Tomorrow, I will lead the team to accompany Xiaoming to participate in the interview, and the "Voice of Dreams" program team knows the situation on our side, right?"
"Got it. Their program team has changed to a new production team this year, but the people on the TV station haven't changed. Our company has a very close relationship with one of their editors, and I called him this afternoon to say that Xiao Ming was going to an interview. He said that he had already said hello to the program team, and when you report to your home tomorrow, they should know who we are. ”
"Okay, then it's something else, I'll go back and rest first, and I'll come back to the company tomorrow." Huang Guolun got up and told Liu Qing: "Don't work too late, rest early, you are ...... It's not like you're strong, you have time to exercise, don't be so fat all the time. ”
"Don't make fun of me, I'll fix a soundtrack for Mr. Huang and their new ghost film, and I'll go back when I'm done." Oh yes, you and Mr. Huang talk about it, don't let them scare me anymore. Now as soon as they make ghost movies, I go home at night and feel panicked, for fear that they will pretend to be ghosts and scare me halfway. ”
"Hehe, I see. Huang Guolun could hear that in order to promote "Qing Ben Jia Corpse", Huang Guokun and they pretended to be zombies to scare Liu Qing into a psychological shadow for her, and couldn't help but comfort her: "They won't do such a foolish thing again." It's a classic to do it once, and it's an idiot to do it again. ”
No longer staying in Liu Qing's office, Huang Guolun went out, went to the film and television department opposite, called Xiaoli, who was chatting with the staff, and the two drove home.
Today's Xiaoli and Sakura have a clear division of labor, Sakura usually waits at home, mainly taking care of Huang Guolun's daily life after returning home.
Xiaoli will follow Huang Guolun at any time when Huang Guolun goes out during the day to monitor Huang Guolun's physical health outside.
The main reason for this distribution of their work is that the personalities of these two girls are quite different.
Sakura is introverted, she doesn't dare to speak when she goes out, and her personality is a bit homely, so she likes to stay at home and clean up, read a book or something.
Xiaoli is a delicate girl who can talk to anyone, has a cheerful and outgoing personality, and is easy to get along with others.
Seeing that Huang Guolun's body is recovering more and more hardened day by day, Huang Guolun also has some consideration for the future of these two little girls.
These two girls are not very old now.
Xiaoli's real name is Cui Xiaoli, and she hasn't turned nineteen this year.
Sakura's full name is Yang Sakura, and she just turned eighteen in February this year.
After they were bought out by the Huang family, they talked to each other privately about what they wanted to do in the future.
Huang Guolun has ears across the wall, and listens to all their chats about the future and hobbies.
