Chapter VIII

Happy days at home are always very short. Just after the Lantern Festival, Shen Lian returned to school, and as soon as he finished cleaning up the bed, his friend Zheng Kai also returned to school.

"Hey. Brother Lian, long time no see. I don't think I have it" Zheng Kai gave Shen Lian a big hug as soon as he came.

"Dude, calm down, calm down. Let's pay attention to a little image. Shen Lian pushed Zheng Kai away.

"That's right, Brother Lian is now a public figure. Pay attention to the image," Zheng Kai quipped.

"Fuck your uncle. He He and Du Jiang, when are you coming? Shen Lian changed the subject.

"He He's hometown is in FJ, and Du Jiang's family is in SD, so I guess it won't be so soon. Why, you don't have to be in such a hurry to invite us to dinner, you have time. Zheng Kai looked at Shen Lian with ill will.

"You're thinking too much." Shen Lian rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Isn't it worth celebrating that the company signed the contract is one of the largest companies in China?" Zheng Kai showed a disdainful look.

"Heaven and earth conscience, Orange Sky Entertainment didn't even give me a penny of signing money. What will I ask you? Shen Lian looked innocent.

"No, I won't pay the signing fee." Zheng Kai said unexpectedly.

"yes. It's too stingy, you don't want to come to this company in the future. Shen Lian encouraged Zheng Kai. Of course, he will not sue Zheng Kai Chengtian for purchasing a property in SH. But it's worth far more than the signing fee.

"I'm not going to be so stingy." Zheng Kaixian was very disgusted.

"Okay, let's go, let's eat, I'm in for a treat. Ten pieces of Lanzhou ramen, plus six pieces of dry-cut beef" Shen Lian walked out of the dormitory with his arms around Zheng Kai's shoulders.

"It's only sixteen yuan, it's too cheap for you." Zheng Kai was not angry.

"You're thinking too much, the dry cut beef is divided between the two of us." Shen Lian made a serious joke.

After the start of school, Shen Lian submitted a certificate from the company to the teacher, and after performing and speaking every morning, Shen Lian could skip the vocal and physical classes in the afternoon, and he could go to the studio to record an album at noon. When he came to the recording studio, Shen Lian dressed casually, took a New Balance dress in the closet and put it on, without paying attention to any style. Youth Sunshine is the best stylist. When I arrived at the recording studio, Zhang Ting was already waiting there.

"The person who will be introduced to you later is Yao Qian, a famous music maker in China. Coco Li, Yu Chengqing, Wang Leehom, and Xiao Yaxuan have all worked with him. Xiao Yaxuan, Jiang Meiqi, Hou Xiangting, Lin Yilian, Liu Ruoying, and Li Xinjie are also his disciples. It can be regarded as a Beidou-level figure in the music world. Don't be rude. Zhang Ting instructed.

"Shen Lian, this is a well-known producer in the music industry, Yao Qian, who has been involved in creating music for more than 20 years and has rich experience. If you have any questions about music, you can ask him, he is your teacher. Zhang Ting took Shen Lian to an office, where he was sitting a middle-aged man full of literary and artistic atmosphere, he had fresh short hair, looked full of energy, wore a gray jacket, mature and bookish temperament.

"Teacher Yao, hello, I'm Shen Lian." Shen Lian introduced himself very humbly. After introducing Yao Qian and Shen Lian to each other, Zhang Ting withdrew from Yao Qian's office.

"I listened to your previous "This Life Will Not Change", and it was written at a very high level. And I also tasted the song you handed over to Xiao Zhang this time. I have to admit that you are a musician with amazing talent. "More than 20 songs, the quality is so high, Yao Qian is also very impressed.

"Teacher Yao has won the award, and the specific revisions ......" Shen Lian was also ashamed, this was the brainchild of many singers later, and they were all plagiarized by themselves.

"Here's a little stuff I've put together, you can take it back and look at it slowly. Now we're going to go to the singing room and do what you wrote to me." said that it started at the beginning, without a little delay, Shen Lian had to admit that Yao Qian had a very practical feeling, and he followed Yao Qian to the practice room, which is the kind of relatively small singing room. Repeating it over and over again, Shen Lian always didn't find the feeling that the first paragraph was stopped before he finished singing, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't meet their requirements, and he was always called to stop. shouted to stop many times, and he was also a little upset and irritable. Taking off his headphones, he walked out of the soundproof room, and now picked up a bottle of water and drank it in small sips.

"Teacher Yao, why can't I feel when I can't sing?" Shen Lian did not have the slightest taboo, and gave full play to the fine tradition of asking questions if he didn't understand.

"Your heart is settled, you've sung well. Find out how you feel when you write a song. You've written sentimental love songs, but I always feel like you've never been emotionally frustrated. Be savored. Yao Qian explained.

"Then can you try the princess first, this song may not have so many emotional experiences." Hu Yujian, assistant director on the side, said.

"Try it." Yao Qian agreed.

"Okay, I'm in." The song "Princess" is a must-order KTV track for Shen Lian in his previous life, and he won the title song among the title songs. This time, Shen Lian's performance was much better, although he didn't meet the requirements, but the three people outside didn't shout to stop, they wanted Shen Lian to sing it in its entirety several times, so that it would be more fluent and have a stronger grasp of the whole.

This is how the time passed, and at dinner time, Yao Qian and Hu Yu walked in, watching them discuss fiercely and forgetfully. asked Hu Yu to stop from time to time and ask his own questions, and sometimes the two old partners quarreled with each other for a change of tone.

I can't afford to provoke this posture. Zhang Ting originally wanted to call them for dinner, but it seemed that it was better not to disturb them. If he disturbed their thinking, Shen Lian felt that he would definitely be distracted by their eyes.

Although his stomach was also hungry, and singing was also very physical, but after looking at the three people outside who were listening carefully, Shen Lian felt that he had no reason to shout that he was hungry. The sophistication of the songs is already quite high, and now Shen Lian can basically pass it, but they are striving for perfection and must be better. After walking out of the recording studio, Yao Qian suddenly said: "Your album is definitely going to take the lyrical route." Which songs would you like to pick yourself in? The album should consider the genre, and when collecting songs, it is necessary to consider whether the genre is conflicting, but an album cannot have only one genre, and it is necessary to try to diversify. ā€

"My personal opinion is 12+2, 12 Chinese songs and 2 English songs. As for which songs to choose, I'd like to hear what you mean. Shen Lian weakly mentioned yƬ.

"There are really not many domestic singers singing English songs, because most of the spoken English may not be passed, but you have no problem with this, and it actually has a London accent. I think it's also a bold attempt to bring in both English songs. Yao Qian said with a smile.

"Yes, I'm still young, so I have to dare to try." Shen Lian was very calm. ""The Princess", "Serious Snow", "WhatGoesAroundComesAround", "StayWithMe", "Elimination", "What You Don't Know", these six songs I will decide for the time being, and I will start to enter the official recording stage tomorrow. You said that it would be released within half a year, then our production cycle is only two months at most, and the intensity is very high. I also hope that you can withstand the intensity of the work. Yao Qian said.

In the following days, Shen Lian and Yao Qian's team gradually ran in, and the efficiency of their work became higher and higher, and with the adaptation to the recording studio, Shen Lian's work efficiency became higher and higher. And after several revisions. The remaining eight songs, Yao Qian selected "You Love Her So Much", "Liar", "Back", "No More Contact", "Kiss Too Realistic", "Heartbeat", "Incomplete Melody" and "Gray Head", plus the six songs selected before, became the tracks of Shen Lian's debut album "Purgatory".
