When taking a bath, Fang Tianlu instilled the idea of 'moderation' in his son.

"I can't learn from your grandfather, that old man, old and not serious. ”

"I can't learn from your grandfather, that serious old man, old-fashioned. ”

Fang Weiran was thoughtful and asked, "Baba, what is color?"

How should I answer it? Fang Tianlu was stopped by this question, do you want to talk about 'color is empty and color'? Or directly give his son a physiological hygiene lesson?

It seems that no matter which answer is given, the other party is a little too mature for his current age.

"Anyway, you can't be a man without rules, especially as a man, you can't be without rules, but you can't be too disciplined, it's not advisable to stick to the rules. ”

The father and son chatted while taking a bath, and Fang Tianlu experienced the satisfaction of being a father for the first time.

A hot bath can best dispel fatigue, and before Fang Tianlu fell asleep again, he had already left behind the bad feelings of his father-in-law and mother-in-law and the arrival of his father and mother.

The next day, my mother-in-law and Fang's mother got up early to make breakfast, and then my father-in-law also got up and turned on the radio to do exercises.

The alarm clock rang at seven o'clock, Fang Tianlu opened his eyes, saw the glimmer of morning light outside the window, and his mood instantly improved.

Another good day.

After eating breakfast happily, Fang Tianlu opened his mouth and instructed his father-in-law: "Dad, the kindergarten shuttle bus will pick up Xiao Ran at home at half past eight, and he will be out of school at three o'clock in the afternoon, and he can only take him to play after school, and don't buy anything for him, don't be too used to children." ”

The father-in-law waved his hand impatiently: "I know, I know, what kind of man does my mother-in-law and mother look like, you have to work hard yourself, and the child and the child are all dependent on you now." ”

Smiling, Fang Tianlu didn't say much.

Grab your notebook and leave the house and head to the tram stop.

Although Wutaichang is a satellite city of Yutai City, there are several small county towns and farmlands between the two cities, so there is still a distance of more than 100 kilometers, but fortunately, the tram speed is not slow, and it has reached Yutai Station in only one hour.

Take a taxi from Yutai Station to Yanhua Brothers Company, and come to this more than 30-story building on time at nine o'clock.

Mi Lili was sitting in the reception area to touch up her makeup, and when she saw Fang Tianlu coming in, she put away the mirror puff and stepped forward.

"You said yesterday that you were ready for the competition, is it a new song? ”

Mi Lili couldn't wait, so she pulled Fang Tianlu to the recording studio.

Yanhua Brothers has a lot of singers, but there are not many singer-songwriters, and there are even fewer talented singers under Mi Lili, so they basically collect songs from lyricists and composers inside and outside the company.

Because she had seen the quality of Fang Tianlu's "Story" and heard that there was a new song, Mi Lili naturally burst out with great enthusiasm.

can't vomit Mi Lili, plus now she is Fang Tianlu's agent, and she has to help Fang Tianlu fight for the company's resources, and for artists, resources represent money.

Call the sound engineer and come to the studio.

Mi Lili opened her mouth to introduce: "This is Lao Xie, the top three recording engineer in our company, this is the newly signed artist Fang Tianlu." ”

Lao Xie's full name is Xie Mingming, forty-four years old, and many of the singers of Yanhua Brothers have recorded albums by him, so it can be said that he is an old employee of Yanhua Brothers.

"You sing it once and I'll listen to it, and then I'll make it up. ”

Fang Tianlu nodded, saw a piano in the corner, sat on the chair, plucked a few keys, and felt that he was one with his feelings.

"Yo, you're versatile, and you can play the piano. ”

Mi Lili laughed in her tone, and Fang Tianlu bared her teeth at the agent: "Who can write songs and can't play the piano?"

It's good that Fang Tianlu Music Association Piano is level ten, but it can't be said that he is good, or that he is not good, and the grade can only be used as a standard for skills.

Then Fang Tianlu's expression converged, and he entered a state of unity between the human and the qin.

A very simple melody is played with both hands, which is neither generous nor passionate, but can only be said to be good.

At the end of the prelude of more than a dozen notes, Fang Tianlu spoke.

“I would tell you that i love you tonight”

“But i know that i've got time on my side”

“Where you goin' why you leavin' so soon”

“Is there somewhere else that's better for you”

“What is love if you're not here with me”

“What is love if it's not guaranteed”

“What is love if it just ups and leaves”

“What is love”

“What is love if you're not really sure”

“What is love if it just ups and goes”

The song is called "What is love", from the soundtrack of the TV series "Hip Hop Empire", there are only ten lyrics, one minute and thirty seconds, and the last note falls, and the sound of the piano lingers.

Every lyric is an expression of love, asking for love, and hoping for love.

Although this song is very short, but singing the whole song, Fang Tianlu is no less than singing ten three-minute pop songs in KTV.

"What is love" requires a very high level of singing skills, and the whole song tests the singer's emotional outbursts, breath control, transposition skills, and vibrato.

If you rate the difficulty of a song, the full score is 10, then the difficulty of the song can reach 9 points, and it is not easy to sing it well.

Mi Lili and Xie Mingming were stunned for a moment, and asked, "It's gone?"

Fang Tianlu nodded: "Well, this song only has this paragraph, it is already a complete song, and if you continue to write more, it will be redundant and add to the picture." ”

The two tasted slowly, Xie Mingming's eyes flashed, and he applauded: "That's right, this song only needs this paragraph to be enough, amazing good song, you sing very well, just like a professional singer who has studied singing for many years." ”

Hearing the praise of the recording engineer, Fang Tianlu felt a little proud in his heart, he had gone to the Conservatory of Music to study in order to pursue girls, although it was not as exaggerated as many years, only more than a year, but the teachers of the Conservatory of Music were superb, and the students who were trained were naturally not bad.

However, on the surface, Fang Tianlu was not proud, shook his head again and again, and said modestly: "Thank you for the praise." ”

Mi Lili also clapped her hands and said happily: "Lao Fang, your singing skills are really good, I don't think you need a music teacher to teach you at all, with your level, you are enough to be a teacher for many artists in the company." ”

"That's it, this song must be no problem passing the preliminary round, record a sample today, and then discuss the process and strategy of the competition, what do you think?"

Fang Tianlu naturally has no opinion on Mi Lili's arrangement, anyway, he hasn't debuted yet, so whatever the agent says, it's what the agent says.

In order to avoid becoming a sweatshop for writing songs in the future, Fang Tianlu added: "I wrote this song a few years ago, and it took me nearly a month to write it at the beginning. ”

Mi Lili nodded: "That's how it should be, if a good song can be written in a few days, then I don't have to worry about receiving songs." ”

Saying this, she didn't take it to heart, she just thought that Fang Tianlu was a talent.

At this time, Xie Mingming had already begun to fiddle with the equipment and began to tune.

Different instruments, syllable by syllable, keep trying.

Fang Tianlu and Mi Lili listened beside them, and then gave references.

After more than an hour of busyness, the arrangement of this song "What is love" was finally finalized.

After listening to it again and feeling that there was no problem, Fang Tianlu walked into the soundproof room and adjusted his mood.

“I would tell you that i love you tonight……”

Recording a song is not something that can be done at one time, and Xie Mingming and Mi Lili are very serious about music, and they will never allow this good song to be recorded and edited multiple times, and Fang Tianlu must sing it again and again, without flaws.

So although this song is only 90 seconds long, the recording took longer than the arrangement, and it was enough to eat at noon, and Xie Mingming was not satisfied.

Fang Tianlu felt that he was about to get annoyed, but he was also driven by Xie Mingming and Mi Lili's seriousness, and his attitude became more and more serious.

“…… What is love if it just ups and goes”

The final trills end, and the soundtrack falls to the last syllable.

"Perfect!"

Xie Mingzhi announced with a smile, and Fang Tianlu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them sat around and listened to the recording again to ensure that the beauty was flawless.

After getting the burning CD, Mi Lili also seemed very happy: "This song will definitely amaze the judges, and I can guarantee that the four judges will definitely bid the highest price to compete for you as their student." ”

After receiving the blessing, Fang Tianlu suddenly looked forward to the "Voice of the World" competition.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Mi Lili and Fang Tianlu came to the small conference room.

It is said to be a small conference room, but it is actually a temporary lounge specially prepared for artists, with single beds, TVs, tables and chairs.

The agent turned on the TV, opened a video service app, and asked, "Have you watched 'The Voice of the World' before?"

Fang Tianlu shook his head, in his memory, he had never watched "The Voice of the World", as for whether his wife Fang Yiqiu paid attention to it, it was not for Fang Tianlu to know.

"Okay, then I'll introduce you. ”

As she spoke, Mi Lili picked up the remote control, searched for the "Voice of the World" variety show, and started playing.

"The Voice of the World has a total of four judges, all of whom are important senior singers in the music scene. ”

"Su Anlan, 20 years after his debut, a legend in the music world, 31 albums have sold a total of 26 billion sales, but he is a rock singer, and he is a little wrong with you. ”

The TV began to introduce the judges to the audience, Su Anlan is an uncle in his forties, with long hair, leather clothes and leather pants, and a rock 'n' roll style.

"The Moto group, Qu Yimin and Lang Hanlin, debuted for six years, but don't underestimate them, this is a cow who has won five consecutive championships at the TV Music Awards. ”

The Moto group is a team of two, and only one judge is counted, and they are all around 30 years old.

Tu Qindanqin, a thirty-nine-year-old female musician, is a well-deserved queen of songs, debuted for twenty-three years, very exaggerated, at a rate of five a year, has released 118 albums, of which more than 60 albums have reached 20 million golden song sales, which is a world record that no one has broken so far. ”

"The last one, Su Xuan, is only twenty-six years old, but being a judge of the Voice of the World is an affirmation and achievement in itself, she was born in a musical family, and made her debut as a child star at the age of six, although she has only two albums, she has 600 million fans around the world, even some fifty or sixty-year-old aunts like her very much. ”

Under Mi Lili's introduction, Fang Tianlu also roughly knew the information of the four judges.

It is obvious that Su Anlan is a rock singer, and the Moto group is basically rock and hip-hop, Tu Qindanqin is walking on the road of country music, and her steps are very firm, but Su Xuan is not a singer, she has been more active on the musical stage in the past 20 years.

"What is love" is a song that combines rock 'n' roll outbursts, country folk whispers, and blues soothing.

It can be said that the four judges will definitely compete for Fang Tianlu.

However, Fang Tianlu knew his level in his heart and had already made his first choice.
