Chapter 234: The Afterhand
Tianjing Tianlai Record Company Building, Ding Shaoyang did not rest for a day during the National Day holiday.
Recently, the record market has been gaining momentum, and he wants to hurry up and release a few more records for Tian Lai. Although there are many masters of nature, most of the songs in these records do not need Ding Shaoyang to do it personally, but as the director, he still has to personally control the quality, and he must be present when recording.
So in the past few days, Ding Shaoyang has been soaking in the recording studio every day, smoking the cigarettes that Jiaqing and them have shared every day, and his fingers are yellow.
Today is no exception, in the recording studio, singer Tang Jian, producer Jia Qing are all there, Ding Shaoyang can't be idle, and he personally goes out to serve as a recording engineer, of course, his assistant Li Yiming is also inseparable.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Tang Jian's new album has recorded four songs in a row today, which is very smooth, until this one, Ding Shaoyang felt a little dissatisfied, he took off the monitor headphones, rubbed his neck, and said:
"Tang Jian, when you sing this song, your voice still has to come out a little, you sing too much. What's the matter, your throat is uncomfortable today? ”
"It's a little, it's been cold lately, and I'm a little cold." Tang Jian nodded, and said angrily, "But it's okay, I have a way to catch a cold, and it won't affect the singing, let's do it again." ”
"You said it earlier!" Ding Shaoyang frowned and said: "My throat is congested with blood when I have a cold, and it is far more fragile than usual, and it is easy to ruin my voice if I sing more, you have been singing for two hours in a row." Deng Qi used to be like this, and it took so many years to recover, so you have to be careful. ”
Jia Qing smiled: "But don't say it, Tang Jian is really powerful, he doesn't speak, I really can't hear that he has a cold." ”
"Didn't I hear that this job was quite rushed?" Tang Jian in the recording studio smiled.
"No matter how hard you work, it's not as important as your voice." Ding Shaoyang glared. "We can't do the thing of fishing in the dry water. That's all for today, you can get your throat up first. ”
"It's only ten o'clock." Tang Jian smiled, "Director, you handed me over your gun so early!" ”
"Don't make a fuss." Ding Shaoyang scolded with a smile, "I'm for your good." It's ten o'clock, right? I'm just listening to the song. ”
"Okay, I'll go back first." Tang Jian stood up and pointed to the microphone, "Teacher A, please go back and ask people to disinfect in the recording studio, and this pop filter and microphone will also be replaced, don't let others suffer from my sin." ”
"You don't care, go back and rest." Jiaqing smiled and waved his hand.
As soon as Tang Jian left, Ding Shaoyang, Jia Qing, and Li Yiming came to the office in the recording studio. Li Yiming immediately turned on a computer on the table.
"Who's going to listen to first?" Jiaqing asked.
"Twin ghosts." Ding Shaoyang said, "Last week's advertising song, Ye Luo and I didn't write to win them, let's see how this week goes." ”
Li Yiming nodded, and immediately entered the Xinbo video network, and found the link to Yu Zuo Yu You's music area in a prominent position on the homepage of the video network.
With a mouse tap, the Yu brothers' first song of the week. Immediately appeared in front of the three of them.
Song Title: "The Long Road"
Ding Shaoyang nodded: "These two brothers are very anxious, and the first song is a point-on-topic work." ”
"yes." Jia Qing said with a smile. "The theme of these two brothers is the variety of life, and the first song is named this one, which is appropriate for the occasion."
Li Yiming smiled, didn't speak, and mouse. Start playing.
At the beginning of the song, it is a complex and beautiful classical guitar chord, with a tambourine and a shaker, this style of music has the flavor of the old Cantonese show records from 20 years ago. There is an old sense of time and space. In addition, the melody is extremely gorgeous, and just a prelude is extremely ear-catching.
After listening to the first ten seconds, Ding Shaoyang's expression gradually became solemn.
Listening to Yu Zuo Yu You's songs, Ding Shaoyang's mentality is not the same as listening to Ye Luo's songs.
For Ye Luo, he is more of an appreciation for outstanding juniors, if he wins, he should be a guide, and if he loses, he should be a support. Anyway, it's not a generation, and after eating for 20 more years, it's not glorious to win. Lost, since ancient times, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and it is appropriate for a new generation to beat the old.
But Yu Zuo Yu You is the same age as Ding Shaoyang. Twenty years ago, when Chen Tianhua's group of musicians rose, Ding Shaoyang was once the best in northern China, and the Yu brothers were the best in the south. In the past, Ding Shaoyang and the Yu brothers were all defeated in the music circle, but they were too far apart and had no chance to fight.
In his career, Ding Shaoyang suffered repeated setbacks after his debut, and he stayed up until his early forties, and then he entered the peak. The career path of the Yu brothers was very smooth at the beginning, and Yuexiu Records valued them very much, but in the end, they were young, and they died by themselves, and they wasted ten years.
Twenty years later, these three recognized top masters in the circle finally had the fate to start going head-to-head.
So although the outside world is full of hype, Ding Shaoyang doesn't care too much about the wins and losses between Ye Luo. And Yu Zuo Yu You, Ding Shaoyang is still a little jealous in his heart. After all, he is a bright peer for a while, and he has been famous for 20 years, and he has not been distinguished, so don't be late in 20 years, and capsize in the gutter.
Today, as soon as the prelude to this one-point work of life came out, Ding Shaoyang faintly felt that something was wrong.
Yu Zuo Yu You, worthy of the name of a ghost, this song continues the strong last week, and the arrangement is still so bold.
As soon as the first lyrics came out, Jia Qing was stunned for a moment and said: "I actually invited him out, but sure enough, the person who came was not good." ”
The person who sang this Cantonese song was a male singer with a very special voice, singing in a light sigh way, which sounded like a long aftertaste.
Li Yiming didn't hear who it was, and asked, "...... is this?"
"Hong Kong Island God of Songs, Luo Guanting." Jiaqing said, "This one hasn't been out of the mountain for more than ten years, it seems that the two ghosts and Baidai have invested a lot of money this time." ”
Luo Guanting is a well-known singer in Lingnan, and in the early years, Hong Kong Island was a hit in the country in the film and television dramas, and there were six or seven out of ten in the opening and ending credits, which were sung by him, and there were countless classics.
This person's voice is clear and magnetic, and he will combine this magnetism well with the artistic conception of the song, and the song he sings not only has personal recognition, but also can highlight the characteristics of the song itself.
After all, Li Yiming was still young, and he hadn't caught up with Luo Guanting's prime time, so he didn't hear who it was for a while, but as soon as this name came out, his face immediately showed respect, obviously he had heard of it a long time ago.
Ding Shaoyang said: "Female singer, although Hong Kong Island is also good, we have four queens, and we are basically stable. is a male singer, Hong Kong Island has been doing pop music for more than ten years earlier than us, with a profound heritage, and has produced three generations of singers. Luo Guanting is a Mesozoic generation, the oldest one has passed away, and there is one in his early thirties, who has not caught up with good songs in recent years. In terms of singing alone, Tang Jian is not necessarily better than him. ”
"You're talking about Fang Bai, right?" Li Yiming said, "He was in business for the first two years, and now I heard that he is going to make a comeback. ”
"That's right."
After the whole song was played, Ding Shaoyang shook his head helplessly: "Okay, today's battle, at least on the side of the two ghosts, I didn't win, go listen to Ye Luo." ”
Li Yiming nodded, and immediately cut to Ye Luo's music area, the first foreign song was "Can I Hug You"
Five minutes later, Ding Shaoyang smiled: "Ye Luo writes songs, and it is becoming more and more sensational." ”
"But people are so good at sensationalism, what can you do with him?" Jia Qing spread his hands, "Among the three songs at ten o'clock in the morning, I see, director, we are basically at the bottom." ”
"Hmm." Ding Shaoyang nodded, "From our professional point of view, this song by the two ghosts is the best, but if you look at it from the perspective of commercial music, Ye Luo's song is the best." ”
"That's why his popularity is so high." Jia Qing shook his head and said.
"Director, Teacher A, don't be pessimistic." Li Yiming, who has always been honest, couldn't stand it anymore, "Of our four songs today, the first one was originally an appetizer, just to try the water." The last three songs are the main point. ”
"Twin ghosts, I've heard a little, although these two brothers are extremely talented in music, their personalities are two straight intestines. Maybe I don't have too many things like backhand, how to come. Ding Shaoyang said with a smile, "Ye Luo, I have fought with him for so long, and after being fooled a few times, I also know something about him.
This posterity seems to be loyal and good, but in fact it is wilted. Look, this is just the first time. We kept the back hand, and he will definitely stay. I'm looking forward to his next three songs today. ”
