Chapter 260: Get your first EP

Early in the morning of the 7th, it was still yesterday's lineup, and 5 people teamed up to come to EMI.

When Ye Liangchen handed in the song score of "Half Face Makeup" not long after, he was told: suspend the recording.

WHAT? WHY?

The reason given by the company is that although the lyrics and songs of "Half Face Makeup" are very good, and the music style can be classified as "Dongfeng Break", this song is quite similar to "Pear Blossom Fragrance", and it is really not suitable to be released in the first EP album, and even not released in the follow-up, so it is recommended that he sell this song.

Damn, what kind of song is this, obviously two completely different songs, but the artistic conception of the lyrics is similar.

But complaining is complaining, Ye Liangchen also knows that EMI is a professional record distributor after all, and from the perspective of profitability, they must want to release this EP as soon as possible than him.

The company offers two solutions:

First, the EP will be released as usual, and it is recommended that Ye Liangchen choose 1-2 songs for cover;

Second, the release of the EP was postponed, allowing Ye Liangchen to continue to create during the Spring Festival, and strive to complete the new song at the same time when he comes to shoot the MV of "A Thousand Miles Away" next time, and then release the EP.

The company tends to be the first, as far as the release of the first album by the newcomer is concerned, it is already quite good to have four original songs, of course, it varies from person to person, after all, Ye Liangchen has debuted for less than half a year, and now the MV of "Dongfeng Break" is being strongly promoted, and the release of EP at this time is the best period.

Ye Liangchen discussed it with Chen An and agreed, but the question is whose song is suitable for covering?

To this end, the company has set up a temporary task force, which is in charge of the newly appointed Ye Liangchen's agent Hao Peng.

Hao Peng himself is not well-known, and he has never been the agent of a big-name singer before, but he is an assistant, and he is the first assistant after Na Ying signed with EMI, and he took the initiative to request to be transferred back to his hometown of Habin City from Yanjing for personal reasons a few years ago. Less than two months after coming to the branch, he was valued by the general manager of EMI Habin, and it happened that Ye Liangchen had no professional agent here.

Hao Peng presided over the group meeting, first analyzed the four original tracks of Ye Liangchen's debut EP and the prominent theme of Chinese style, and then set the general direction of the cover song, which must be similar to Chinese style.

There is no doubt about this, and the group members unanimously agreed that the problem is that as Ye Liangchen said in the previous media evaluation: "Legend created Chinese style", since he created it, it is not difficult to find this kind of song before him.

Some people suggested that Mao Ning's "The Sound of the Waves is Still" was rejected; Someone proposed Tu Honggang's "Farewell My Concubine" and "Peacock Flying Southeast", but they were also rejected......

It wasn't until someone suggested Andy Lau's "Afterlife" that everyone's eyes lit up, but unfortunately it was just that the musical instruments were similar and the lyrics were too vernacular, but it shifted everyone's attention from mainland singers to Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.

Since everyone has shifted their perspective to Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, their horizons have broadened a lot, because the 80s and 90s were the era when Hong Kong and Taiwan singers were popular.

Soon, Luo Wen's "Joking about Life", Zhou Huajian's "The Most True Dream" and even Faye Wong's "I Wish People Were Long" surfaced one after another, but there was still a big gap in lyrics. "I Wish People Were Long" is very in line with the requirements, but this song itself is Faye Wong's cover of Teresa Teng, and it is a girl's song, let's use it as an alternative first, if there is really no suitable one, you can only use this one.

Ye Liangchen found a problem, everyone raised Chinese songs, at this time a song appeared in his mind, he thought it was quite appropriate, so he stopped everyone.

Ye Liangchen said: "I think of a song, I'll sing a paragraph for you to listen to, see how it goes"

After everyone nodded in agreement, Ye Liangchen began to sing:

"I saw the cold and the wind blew and the snow became thicker

The pedals are soaking wet

Then look all over the distance, the green mountains blow the flocculent weak willows

He was drunk and emaciated

Listen to the music of the misty world

People dance solo and messy sideburns

Throw away your thoughts as if they were true

The old dreams in the deep courtyard are back and forth

Concentrate on life and death, and drink with wine

I don't know that the smile hides tears

Calculated by the dots

It's just too far away

Go round and round

Turned into a piece of dust

have disturbed and married

Spring Festival love changes

True and false

Sorrows, joys, grievances, and grievances are frauds."

"It's the "Stone Record" of the Daming faction"

As soon as Ye Liangchen finished singing, someone called out the name of the song.

Hao Peng stared at Ye Liangchen intently: "You can actually sing Cantonese songs?" And he sings so well, why didn't he say it earlier."

Ye Liangchen shrugged his shoulders loosely: "You didn't ask, besides, everyone is talking about covering that song, not discussing what language to use to cover it."

Hao Peng doesn't care about Ye Liangchen's attitude, which is the most fundamental quality requirement as an agent. Everyone has times when things don't go well, especially singers, in the face of fans and the media, it can be said that Alexander, occasionally when he is in a bad mood, he will inevitably complain to the people around him, and it is very possible to even open his mouth to scold people. The agent can be said to be the first to bear the brunt, just imagine, at this time, if the agent is careful, and the color is returned, it will be lively, maybe the two of them can fight. I can't even stand this grievance, so I just don't want to be an agent, and even if I do, I definitely won't be able to do it for long.

After getting Ye Liangchen's affirmative answer in disguise, Hao Peng opened his mind and successively proposed Huang Yaoming's "Song of the Four Seasons", Lin Zixiang's "In the Middle of the Water", Xu Guanjie's "Pear Vortex Smile", Guan Zhengjie's "Two Forgotten Smoke and Water", Wen Zhaolun's "Casual Fate", Luo Wen's "Under the Lion Rock", Chen Baiqiang's "Smoke and Rain", "Ripples", "What to Ask for in Life", and "Remembering Relatives" A full ten songs.

However, although there are many songs, they can't be randomly selected, after some analysis and comparison, "Two Forgotten Smoke and Water" and "Remembering Relatives" choose 1 of 2, and Ye Liangchen chose the latter.

The discussion took about an hour, and at noon, Ye Liangchen successfully completed the recording of the vocal part of the two cover songs.

At this point, even if the first EP is completed, it will take a few days to record the instrumental part, plus post-production, and the initial release time of the album is expected to be around the Spring Festival.

At this point, Ye Liangchen's work has been successfully completed, and he is suddenly a lot easier. As for the unplanned script of "A Thousand Miles Away", it is probably about a third of the way off, and then it will be OK to make some detailed revisions.

After lunch, Ye Liangchen wanted to go back to the hotel to finish the script, but the two little tails said nothing.

Both have their own reasons.

Song Jia said that it was to let Ye Liangchen relax and relax, and he had come to the provincial capital several times, and every time he came and went in a hurry, she had no chance to fulfill the friendship of the landlord; Xu Wenqi asked Ye Liangchen and Song Jia to accompany her to buy a new down jacket, and asked Ye Liangchen to invite him to a big meal, after all, he sent so much money, and the two girls knew about it.

Today's song has also been recorded, and it is likely that he will go home tomorrow after meeting Li Shuangzhuo, so it's good to go out for a walk, and buy some delicious food to bring home to Ye Meijing, as well as that little gluttonous cat Luo Shan. (To be continued.) )
