Chapter 438: The Formation of the Men's Group
At nine o'clock in the morning on Sunday, Ye Luo came to the global overseas company and sat in the office face to face with Song Yan.
Song Yan always arrived before Ye Luo, at least until Ye Luo's driving skills caught up with her.
Seeing Ye Luo coming in, Song Yan stood up, poured him a cup of coffee, and gently placed it on his table.
"This kind of thing, just let the people below do it." Ye Luo took a sip of coffee.
"I don't have much to do right now anyway." Song Yan smiled at Ye Luowan, "Just be your maid." ”
"Huh." Ye Luo smiled, "How can I afford to summon you, don't worry, you will have something to do soon?" ”
"What's the matter?"
"Spend money." Ye Luo spread his hands, "Here, I am responsible for making money, you are responsible for spending money, let's compare, is it you who spend fast, or I earn fast, how about it?" ”
"I'm a loser in your mind, right?" Song Yan glanced at Ye Luo.
"No, I appreciate your courage to spend money, it's actually a plus, you have to keep it up." Ye Luo said.
"But ordinary people can't control my advantages." Song Yan winked at Ye Luo.
"Am I an ordinary person?" Ye Luo glanced at Song Yan.
Song Yan smiled at the corner of her mouth and lowered her head slightly.
Looking at Song Yan's expression, Ye Luo felt as if he had said the wrong thing, so he pretended to be calm and turned on the computer, called up the arranging software, and started working.
Now Ye Luo has a job in his hands, a title song of Merina, including the album song of the soon-to-be-established male vocal group.
After a while, I only heard Song Yan say, "It seems that the person you are waiting for has not come yet." ”
"He'll come." Ye Luo said unhurriedly.
Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
"Come in." Ye Luo put down the work in his hand and said loudly.
The door slammed. David walked in.
Ye Luo and Song Yan's desks were facing the door of the office in a figure-eight shape, and when David came in, he was obviously a little surprised by this layout, and he thought that he would only see Ye Luo.
"Sit." Ye Luo pointed to the sofa in the office.
David nodded and sat down.
"What about your record label?" Ye Luo asked.
"I hired a professional manager in the music industry to run the record label." David said. "I just need to make some decisions, and I can focus on my singing career."
"Okay." Ye Luo nodded, "But there is one thing, I didn't tell you last night." Let's put it this way, do you think it's okay to release a record alone at your current level? ”
A trace of doubt flashed on David's face, but he still said honestly: "With my own level of appreciation and industry standards, it can't be." ”
"Yes." Ye Luo nodded. "I think so too, so I'm not going to make a record for you alone, but I'm going to form a boy band, you be the captain, and you have four partners. What do you think? ”
David thought for a moment and said, "For the time being, it's okay, but." If I'm satisfied with my singing skills, I'll make a solo record. You can't limit me with this. ”
"That's nature." Ye Luo smiled, "I want a male singer who is in charge more, isn't it not now?" Okay, I'll take you to the audition first. ”
Chen Tianhua ran a global overseas company for a whole year, and other aspects were not well evaluated. But at least on the equipment, he did it very well.
The recording studio here occupies half of the entire company's area, and the equipment is top-notch, which is not worse than the one that Ye Luo Shangdu.
But. There is also a problem, the original recording engineer was Chen Tianhua himself.
Originally, Ye Luo didn't realize this, but as soon as he needed to record today, he was dumbfounded, there was no sound engineer.
Ye Luo said that he would be able to work as a recording engineer, but this job was too energy-consuming, and Ye Luo still preferred the way he worked in China before.
Before auditioning David and them, Ye Luo first called Hu Jianing: "Pack up and come to the United States." ”
"Am I not done yet?" Hu Jianing said, "The albums you assigned to me are still being recorded." ”
"Everything in your hands will be handed over to Yiyi." Ye Luo said, "She will." ”
"That's fine." Hu Jianing nodded, "I'll do my best." ”
"Take my sister-in-law too." Ye Luo said.
"Hey."
hung up the phone, Hu Jianing will not teleport, so today's audition is still by Ye Luo himself.
The audition of the boys' group, it's not that Ye Luo depends on whether they can do it, it's just like that, and Ye Luo doesn't have the time to replace him.
This audition is that Ye Luo wants to assign them a role.
Who comes from the lead singer of the high voice, who comes from the low voice, and who is responsible for which area of the harmony, this needs an accurate positioning in the boy group, and the best part of these young people's voices must be discovered.
This is a technical job, and it is very important, which directly affects the vocal quality of the final record, so Ye Luo did it very carefully.
For a whole day, Ye Luo has been repeatedly compared, not only he listens to it, but also these young men, this kind of positioning, they must first be convinced, otherwise there will be problems in the future.
In the end, the role of this combination was decided.
David. Egan, vocals.
Phil. Stephen, vocalist and high voice.
Michael. Parry, low voice.
Adam. Bourne, harmony part.
Nick. Bryant, harmony part.
Looking at these five handsome young men, Ye Luo asked, "What is the name of this combination?" ”
David, you look at me, I look at you, and then David said, "You are the boss, you have the final say." ”
"How's the Phoenix Legend?" Ye Luo laughed.
David was stunned for a moment: "Boss, Phoenix is in Alabama, not here." ”
"Huh." Ye Luo smiled and said, "Then let's do it, this is Los Angeles, the city of angels, you can call it Angel Boy." ”
"OK, good name." David nodded, then looked at the other members, "What do you think?" ”
"We don't care, listen to the boss."
"yes."
"That's fine, it's not early today. Let's get off work. Ye Luo waved his hand.
On the way home, Ye Luo began to ponder.
Although the roles are separated today, this group of newcomers is really not very good at singing, and the combined effect is far from the ideal state in Ye Luo's mind. It's a little worse.
The United States pays great attention to quality, and if this kind of singing effect is really taken out, no matter how good the song is, it will be white and slightly flawed.
At the beginning, the municipal and state markets were not a big problem, but if you want to promote it throughout the country and even the world, the quality of the singing is not good, and there will definitely be additional resistance.
But Ye Luo's singing skills were taught by Qi Xuan. The new national singing method born in China, although in the end it is the same way, and it is okay to sing European and American songs, but if you want to guide David and them, this is a little incompatible.
The new national singing method pays attention to the usual skills, let David and them practice, but they have not been for a year and a half, and they can't hear the effect.
It's better to have some quick fix. Let this group of newcomers be able to give full play to their voice advantages more perfectly.
When he returned home in the evening, Ye Luo pressed his mind first. Put on your apron and start busy in the kitchen.
Chunlan and Qiu Ju wanted to help, but found that they couldn't intervene at all, Ye Luo's movements were too sharp, and they were too unfamiliar with the practice of Chinese food.
Looking at the decadent looks of the two little girls, Ye Luo smiled and said, "It's okay." From now on, the work of the kitchen will be mine, and the rest will be yours. ”
The two little girls breathed a sigh of relief and left. After a while, Song Yan came. Brought some ingredients with me.
"I want to eat braised pork ribs." Song Yan said.
"Okay, leave it there, I'll do it later."
"I'll help you." Song Yan pulled up the cuffs of her clothes, revealing her snow-white arms.
Seeing Song Yan's eagerness to try, Ye Luo had the idea of joking, pointed to the sink, and said, "Then marinate the fish first, and I'll make sweet and sour fish pieces later." ”
"Oh." Song Yan walked to the sink, and then looked at the fish in the sink, in a daze, completely unsure of where to start.
The ingredients bought in American supermarkets are all processed, and foreign chefs don't care about the processing of raw materials, and the fish in the sink at the moment have actually been killed, cut into pieces, washed, and sealed in plastic film.
"Turns out you have something you can't do." Ye Luo smiled.
"Who said I wouldn't." Song Yan put her mind down, reached out and removed the plastic film, poured the fish into the bowl, and then began to be in a daze again.
"Cooking is an important skill for a woman, better than piano and singing." Ye Luo said with a smile, "As the saying goes, if you want to keep a man's heart, you must first keep a man's stomach." ”
Doesn't Chu Mo'er also know how to cook? Song Yan was bored in her heart with this sentence, and she didn't say it, but said: "Then you teach me." ”
"Yes." Ye Luo nodded, "Come, the most important thing for the pickling method of sweet and sour fish is to have sweet sake lees, which cannot be bought here in the United States, so you can only use sugar and brandy instead, but there must not be too much brandy." ”
The two of them taught and the other learned, and this dinner took a little longer to prepare than before, so hungry that Merina screamed at the table.
Finally, the dishes were served, and Mai Rena picked up the chopsticks and clumsily began to pick up the dishes.
Two days ago, Ye Luo would prepare Western food for Mai Ruina, but this morning, Mai Rena said that she wanted to eat Chinese food, and Ye Luo went with her.
"Sister Mai." Ye Luo looked at the stupid way of Mai Rena holding chopsticks, and couldn't stand it, so he sandwiched a piece of pork ribs for her and put it in the bowl, "I am not very familiar with European and American pop singing, do you have a good teacher there?" ”
"Of course there is." Merina smiled, "What, you want to ask me to borrow someone?" ”
"yes." Ye Luo said, "I just signed this boys' team, my singing skills are still a little insufficient, I have a good voice, but I can't play it, before I officially release the record, it's best to train again." ”
"No problem." "I can lend you my personal vocal coach.
"Thank you then."
"When will you give me the title song of my album?" Merina asked.
"Tomorrow afternoon, you come to me." Ye Luo smiled, "By the way, bring those alternative songs of yours with you, and I'll change them for you." ”
"Okay." (To be continued......)
