Chapter 43 There is a boy next door who has just grown up

"Does Jihyun Xi want celebrity merchandise? If you're interested, I'll send you some. When Representative Huang saw Li Zhixian standing in front of the puppet stand for a while, he thought he was a fan of a certain artist in the company.

Li Zhixian waved his hand: "Ah, pinch yo, just take a look." β€œ

Representative Huang nodded, just asked casually, and then introduced today's schedule to him: "Let's go to the eighth floor to meet with Huang Production, the producer of this album, and preliminarily agree on the direction of the arrangement." Then in the afternoon, I will go to the recording studio to record the guide, and the schedule may be tight. β€œ

Also surnamed Huang? Li Zhixian looked at Director Huang suspiciously, as if to hint at whether there was any relationship between the two.

Director Huang pushed Li Zhixian with tears and laughter: "Let's go, Huang has been waiting for a long time." β€œ

"Hmm." Li Zhixian replied, since the other party has an arrangement, just follow the schedule.

Take the elevator to the eighth floor, and Huang's office is in a deeper position.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk~"

"Please come in!"

"Huang Production, this is songwriter Li Zhixian." As soon as he entered the door, Representative Huang introduced Huang to Huang Production.

Huang Zuo, who was reading the documents, raised his head and squinted at the past, Li Zhixian was wearing a formal suit, his left hand was attached to his right hand in front of him, and he stood upright and looked neither humble nor arrogant, a little surprised.

He has an impression of Li Zhixian, the reason is that the last time he moved on Li Zhixian's contract, in fact, it was Huang's decision, not that he has a bad character, he has a very positive evaluation in the hearts of most employees because of his kindness in the company, and he treats Luo Li Zhixian purely from the company's standpoint, this kind of thing has long been the norm in the entertainment industry.

As the chief producer of the album, he can already be regarded as a senior S.M. executive, and he has a lot of decision-making power in his hands.

When I first met Lee Ji Hyun, I saw that he was a new kid in the entertainment industry, and when Lee Ji Hyun first arrived at the office and was told that the song would be used by Girls' Generation and F(X), Huang Productions didn't know how many times he had seen over the years.

Many trainees, artists, agents, including composers, have almost the same expressions as him when they learn that they are working with S.M., which is very naΓ―ve and easy to deceive.

Now that his demeanor is calm and not humble or arrogant, it seems that he has grown a lot in the past year?

"Zhixian, remember me?" Huang's face was full of kindness.

Li Zhixian saluted first, and then replied with a smile: "Nei, of course I remember you, Huang Production." β€œ

However, the fact is that Li Zhixian has long forgotten that there is such a person, and he will not understand the hidden secrets behind the S.M. company, and even the title of Huang Production was heard by Representative Huang downstairs.

It is also impossible for Huang Chuan to see through the smirk on Li Zhixian's face, and the smile is still the same: "I didn't arrive first, and after a year, I can cooperate with Zhixian again, I am deeply impressed by Zhixian's works!" β€œ

"You've won a prize! It is a pleasure to work with S.M. again. "It is an eternal truth that thousands of sycophants are not worn, Li Zhixian implicitly patted S.M.'s sycophants.

"Since it's not the first time to cooperate, I'm no longer polite to Zhixian, the time is really urgent, the film was originally scheduled to be released in July, but it's more than half of April, and even the title song hasn't been finalized." Thinking of the progress of the album, Huang Productions couldn't help but sigh.

"Actually, I already had some ideas about the arrangement before I came."

Li Zhixian's sudden words made Huang Chong a surprise, what he lacked most now was time, but he didn't expect him to prepare in advance, and said happily: "Zhixian has any ideas, just say it!" β€œ

Li Zhixian slowly spoke: "If I want to ask the artists of S.M. who can digest this work, I think I can't find any other choice except F(X), which should be the reason why Director Huang fell in love with "Candyman". β€œ

Erhuang nodded in unison, and after Huang found the original song, he discussed with Huang Production, and Huang Productions decided to choose this song.

"But what I'm trying to say is that it's not Candyman that fits f(x), it's that its mastering fits f(x). To be honest, when Representative Huang first told me that "Candyman" was going to be used on an F(X) album, I went back and analyzed it, and at that time I thought that S.M. had not considered why he chose such an explicit song to use on a girl group, until I found out the master tape of "Candyman". β€œ

Lee Chi-hyun continued, with a look of wonder on his face: "Even I, the original composer, couldn't find out for a moment that this piece would fit the style of f(x) so well, and I don't know how S.M. discovered its specialness. β€œ

Speaking of this, Representative Huang lowered his head, and his expression flashed with embarrassment.

The facts are simple - Huang means he doesn't know English.

He simply considered whether it was in line with f(x) based on the accompaniment, and he didn't know anything about the lyrics, and he only understood the meaning of the lyrics when he gave them to Huang Production, but Huang Productions was a knowledgeable person, and after using audio software to eliminate the vocals, he found that it was a rare work suitable for the f(x) style, which made Huang contact Li Zhixian.

Deliberately skimming over Li Zhixian's question, Huang got up from his seat and continued to ask, "So what did Zhixian Xi find?" β€œ

Then guide the two to the sofa on the side, "Zhixian xi, please take a seat." β€œ

"Thank you."

Then Li Zhixian directly took out his mobile phone and put the master tape of "Candyman" in the office.

After playing it again, he asked Huang Making: "I don't know what kind of concept comes to mind after listening to the mastering?" Or is it the scene? β€œ

Er Huang glanced at each other, and Huang Fang pinched his chin with one hand and said uncertainly: "Concept? Feel like dancing on the dance floor. "I hadn't thought about similar problems before, and for a while, I could only think of dancing according to the style of dance music.

Representative Huang said: "What I think of is an encounter. β€œ

He is the head of the room in charge of f(x), and he will take their image more into account, and he is not suitable for the dance floor.

"It's a girl!" Li Zhixian shook his finger to interrupt the thoughts of the two, "Or maybe it can be said to be an elf." β€œ

As the author of the original song, he naturally has the most right to speak, "What I saw was a group of elf-like girls chasing each other. β€œ

After a pause, he spoke again: "Anyway, it's also for f(x).,I did a little research beforehand.,I found that f(x)'s fans are basically concentrated in girls of about ten generations.,This is both a characteristic of f(x).,It's also an advantage.。 In a girl group, there are more women's meals than men's meals, especially the ten generations of rice, which is a unique phenomenon in the entire idol world. The cool and neutral charm of Krystal and Amber, the two more popular members of the group, is the main reason for attracting these fans. So I thought of F(X) and its own unique color, combined with the characteristics of fans, and made some changes to the original song. β€œ

"Zhixian Xi has put a lot of effort into it?" Huang Chuan looked at Li Zhixian who was fiddling with his mobile phone with his head down with interest.

Li Zhixian raised his head and smiled slightly, and called up the adaptation that came out two nights ago.

"Like...... Doesn't it make a difference? After the song ended, Representative Huang couldn't help but wonder and speak.

Huang Chuan immediately retorted: "You are not a musician, and you can't pay attention to the details of the changes, at least I found two differences." β€œ

Li Zhixian nodded in agreement: "I reduced the intensity of the riff part of the whole song to make the rhythm sound more brisk. I also removed the sound of a few synthesized drums at the beginning, otherwise the first impression was too thick and not in line with the girlish temperament. β€œ

Representative Huang heard it in a fog, and he didn't understand what Li Zhixian meant by riff, but after being reminded by him, he found a change at the beginning.

Consistent with the observed differences, Huang Productions asked Li Zhixian to transmit the audio to him, not mentioning the quality of the arrangement, he was quite satisfied with Li Zhixian's attitude, obviously did a lot of preparation work in advance, saving a lot of discussion time, the first round of arrangement has this progress has exceeded expectations, you must know that the most lacking thing now is time.
