"Hello? Brother Xiu? ”

"Hyo-ni, you're already resting?"

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

"Just now our producer called your work phone, and you turned it off."

"Oh, I'm a little tired and ready to rest. Is there anything going on on the producer's side? ”

"The British side has sent samples of several alternative songs, let us choose and see which song to use on top."

"So fast?"

"They want us to settle it down as soon as possible, so that Paul can rearrange it for you, and he wants the album to go a little bit faster. I've already asked Lao Cao and them to come to the company, I'll go and pick you up in the car now, you also come to the company, let's discuss it together, and see which song to use on top. ”

Li Xiaoni frowned, hesitated, and said: "Brother Xiu, I'm really uncomfortable tonight, I'm too tired from taking a plane, and my entire cervical vertebrae seem to be cracked, I want to rest for a night." ”

"Oh, then you have a good rest, I'll let Lao Cao and them listen to those samples first, see which song is more suitable for you, you come to the company early tomorrow morning, let's settle this matter tomorrow morning, the British side is more urgent, I must give them an answer tomorrow, they can make arrangements."

"Okay, then I'll go to the office early tomorrow. Also, you asked Brother Cao to send those samples to my mailbox, and I will listen to them later to see if there is anything I particularly like. If so, I'll call you later. If I can settle it tonight, I won't go to the office early tomorrow, I still want to rest more, I've been too tired lately. ”

"Okay. I'll let him send it to you. Listen to it at home, and if you have any ideas, we can communicate by phone at any time. ”

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Xiu."

"It's nothing for me to work hard, but you must rest well, the temperature difference between London and the East China Sea is very large. Don't get sick, don't affect next month's concert. ”

"Don't worry, I'll definitely pay attention. I won't talk about it yet, I'll wait for your sample. ”

As soon as Li Xiaoni hung up the phone, Lin Zaishan immediately asked, "Do you still have to work tonight?" If you have an important job, you go to the company. Don't delay. I can wait for you. ”

"It's okay, I'll work from home. I happened to have you by my side to help me choose a song together. ”

"What's the song?"

"I have a song to change on my new album. It turns out that the song needs to have a lot of air vocal performance in the high register, and I can't control it. I adjusted it a few times, but it still didn't work, and the producer in the UK decided to help me change the song. They've sent the samples over now, so let's decide which one to change. ”

"English songs?" I heard that it was a sample sent by the British side, so Lin Zaishan guessed it.

"Yes. English song. My album is divided into two versions, the domestic version and the British version, and it will be released in both places at the same time. The domestic version is 8 Chinese songs with two English songs, and this version has long been recorded. The British version of the 10 songs are all in English, and now this one is missing, and the others have been recorded. ”

"You're pretty fast at recording songs. Didn't these two albums only be recorded for 1 month, and they were both recorded? ”

"National entertainment focuses on efficiency, these two albums have actually been in preparation for a long time, but they have only been recorded for a month. From the preparation period to now, it has been at least half a year. Nowadays, the technology of the recording studio is changing with each passing day. As long as the recording is almost the same, the software can be repaired very well. But this song with problems, the air voice is really not easy to repair, and the taste changes all after repairing, and this song needs the singer to play well before it can be sung. In the English version of the album. The position of this song is relatively heavy, and my British producer, Paul, originally wanted to tap my potential on this song, and the result was ...... Alas. ”

Li Xiaoni shook her head helplessly as she spoke. There was a slight sense of frustration.

"Your singing voice is very thick and full of air, and if you want to pursue a pure high-pitched voice, I don't think it's a very wise choice. Your British producer probably doesn't know you very well, he shouldn't have chosen such a song for you, your high notes are very tense, and there is no need to express anything with your air in the high register. ”

"It's also my fault, when he first came up with the idea, I thought he was a master, and he said yes, so I agreed, and I also wanted to try to change my singing skills. Who knows, I can't control this kind of singing at all, and I can't practice it for a long time. ”

"It's not your fault, if something goes wrong with this, the producer is primarily responsible. A producer who is really attentive will not blindly tap the potential of singers. ”

Li Xiaoni smiled bitterly: "Brother, what you said is right." The so-called masters in Britain feel that they don't attach so much importance to our Asian singers in their hearts. They never thought that Asian singers could make a name for themselves in the UK, and even if they paid a lot of money to help with the production, their attitude was not as attentive as when they were making albums for European and American singers. When you first come into contact with them, you will think that they are quite friendly, but after a long time of contact, you can feel that they are very arrogant in their bones. ”

Lin Zaishan nodded understandingly, the British of this plane was also the Sunset Empire that colonized the whole world, and the arrogance of the British was famous.

Li Xiaoni said objectively: "The songs in my British album are of a very high level, especially the level of arrangement, which is a grade higher than our domestic level." But to be honest, there are no songs that particularly amaze me. I guess there will be no surprises in the small samples they sent this time, and they want to finish this work quickly without delaying their Christmas holidays. In the past few days, I think Paul is going to be annoyed by me. ”

Lin Zaishan comforted: "Don't take responsibility for yourself, this is the responsibility that the producer should bear." I think you released an album in the UK, right? ”

"yes, I've sent two of them, and this is the third. The previous two albums are both English words directly changed from Chinese songs, and the style is considered Asian dance music, which is not very popular in the UK, and the main group is still Asians in the UK. One of my best songs, which has only been in the top 40 of the UK weekly chart, was brushed off after a week. ”

Lin Zaishan said with a smile: "That's for sure, if you use a popular Asian style to go to the UK to hit the charts, you must not be adaptable." ”

"Although I am not adapted, to be honest, the two albums I sold in the UK were not too bad, and each album broke into the top 100 of the annual sales of records in the UK. The results are more than 100,000. The awareness of copyright protection in the UK is very good, and piracy in the record market there is almost extinct, but they are also very affected by the Internet, which is much stronger than in China. The Asian fans over there were very supportive. When I went to the UK for a concert, it was a full house. Speaking of this, Li Xiaoni finally showed a little pride.

"Don't be complacent. Record sales have only rushed into the top 100, so content? ”

"Of course I'm not satisfied, and it's impossible for Chinese entertainment to be satisfied, and now the overseas record market is very challenging and has great potential for Asian singers. If you release a platinum record, you can make a lot of money. My new album was produced by the British production team entrusted by China Entertainment with a lot of money, hoping to make a breakthrough in the British market. But personally, I think it's quite difficult. You can feel it from the producer. They don't believe you can do anything in the UK as an Asian singer. What you've achieved in Asia, they've never been dismissive. You won't really respect you until you've earned respect in your home market. ”

"It's the same everywhere, it's the same in China, if you haven't achieved results, which circle will respect you? So don't find fault with others too much, try to do your part well, and strive to win the respect of others. But if you feel that such cooperation makes you very uncomfortable. Don't try it again. When you really make people pay attention to you, then go and cooperate with them. Provincial grievances. ”

"Well, look at the results of this album, if there is still no big breakthrough, I will not work with the British team in the future, and it really doesn't feel particularly good to work with them. When I was on vacation, I went to London to talk to them a lot. If I hadn't talked about it, I guess it would have been even worse with my album. If the full score is 100, I can only give this album a score of 70. I don't know if it's because they didn't pay too much attention to it, or if my singing path really doesn't fit into the British psychedelic style, I always felt that when I recorded this album. I can't make it out, it's particularly awkward. ”

"Do you have a recorded version? Let me hear it, and I'll help you see what the hell is wrong. ”

"I don't have it in my hand now, the master tape is in the hands of the British team for post-production, our producers of Chinese entertainment have heard it in the past and made suggestions, they feel that in this album, my voice is a bit overly 'misinterpreted', and the real highlights are not excavated. Their songs may be deliberately following the British path, the vocal area I personally feel very flat, and the two songs in the dance music style are also completely electronic psychedelic style, and my voice is all electronically processed, Paul said that this will be new. ”

Lin Zaishan frowned and smiled: "Electronic psychedelic style is not a new idea, right?" I've been around for a long time. ”

"It's been around for a long time, but I haven't tried it much, and their arrangements are really good at this style of work. When we first came into contact, Paul gave us a very direct advice, he said that my voice is a big grasp in Europe and the United States, so in terms of style, I must highlight more personality, not in the normal way. To go the normal way, there will be no breakthrough on this album. I thought about it at the time and felt that what he said was right, my singing method was cultivated by Chinese entertainment in accordance with the style of European and American diva. In terms of the thickness and tension of my voice, there is still a certain gap between my voice and those European and American female singers. Try a new style, maybe there will be a breakthrough. But after I recorded it, I found that under such a style, I sang very aggrieved, and several songs were not very enjoyable. ”

"Don't blame me for hitting you, I think the outlook for your album might be pessimistic. If you don't feel happy yourself, how can you be happy if you listen to it to your fans? Good music, first of all, must impress yourself, and then it is possible to impress others. Regardless of the style and creativity, it is impossible to impress others with music that you can't impress. In music, it's so hard to impress people with change and creativity. Don't say how your voice compares with European and American female singers, as long as you have good works, you can also play the level of European and American female singers. As for whether you can open the market over there, it depends on your company's publicity. If I take the liberty of changing, I think it's better to work on the music itself. ”

"Alas, it's too late to say anything now, it's already come this far, it's useless to regret it, if this album performs badly, I really won't dare to change it in the future."

"You don't actually need to change anything now, your singing skills are on the rise, first dig out the queen's singing method to the end, and really reach the point of perfection, and then make breakthroughs and changes that are the right way - anyway, I think so, and I don't know what your company's producers think."

"The company handed over all the production work to the British team this time, and they didn't listen to any opinions from our side. People are such big names, how can they listen to us. ”

Lee Hyo-ni sighed and said, "Their team sent me a sample of the new song so quickly, I don't feel very reliable. The last song had a big impact on my new album, and I didn't want to choose a song to break the jar and break it. Guoyu has invested a lot of money on this album, and it is the largest production of the album I have released in the past two years. If the sales are not as good as my first two albums released in the UK, then this is a bit unbearable, and it will have a big impact on my future development. ”

"Well, if you fold in a big production, it does have a great impact on your future. In the end, you must choose this song carefully. ”

"Brother, why don't you write a song for me? In this new album, if there is a good highlight, there may be a glimmer of life. You know my character very well now, you helped me write a song, and I feel more reliable than the British team. ”

Li Xiaoni now believes in Lin Zaishan's creative strength very much, and believes in Lin Zaishan's speed: "Give you one night, you should be able to help me write it, right?" ”

"It's definitely okay for me to help you write songs, but I don't know the overall style of your album, and it may be very incompatible with your album to write a song. Let me hear what kind of style they send you. If their songs are already very good, I don't need to write them, so you don't have to choose other people's songs and choose your own, which will be too much of a loss of face for the other party. But if their songs are too coping, then I'll help you write a song to blow them up. ”

"Brother, I don't want to listen to their samples now, no matter how good the songs they send me, I hope you can help me write a song to blow them up, so that their brains are clearer, don't think that we Chinese musicians are all dry food."

"Haha, you really have a lot of grudges against them."

"You've worked with them, and you'll know how aggrieved I've been recording these days. I'm a dignified Asian diva! In their eyes, he is not as good as a second-rate British singer. I want to sing a good song right now, and blow up the ears of those Englishmen! Li Xiaoni vented her dissatisfaction in her heart, and her mouth inadvertently exploded. It can be seen how much resentment there is towards the British team after this day.

"Okay, then I'll help you blow them up. After a while, I will find a song with the highest level from their sample, and I will write a song in the same style to crush them. Then you sing to them and leave them speechless about your choice. ”

"Great! Brother! I wish I had told you about this earlier, and I wouldn't have to put it off until now. If we have to work tonight, our personal time may be taken up. ”

"As long as we can be together, whatever it does. You can hold me when I'm writing songs. ”

"Brother, I don't just want to hold you now."

"I don't want to just hold you."

"And what do you want to do?" LI Xiaoni. smiled ambiguously and deliberately glanced at Lin Zaishan.

"What do you say?" Lin Zaishan showed a deep smile that adults understand, and his deep eyes began to have some meaning of sucking Li Xiaoni in.

"Is your waist good?" Lee Hyo-ni's breathing suddenly became hot. It's been a long time since I've tasted this flirtation, the lust in her heart. Wangke is more in need of release than Lin Zaishan. If the fire that Lin Zaishan is holding back in his heart is a volcano about to erupt, then she is a comet that is about to hit the earth.

"If you choose the right position, you should be fine."

Lin Zaishan's words made Li Xiaoni laugh "poof": "Brother, it seems that you are more anxious than me." ”

"It's not a hurry, it's a miss."

"Missing? …… Are these old friends on me? Li Xiaoni straightened her chest forward and said with a generous smile: "They have all changed, don't you fail to recognize them." (To be continued.) )
