Jolin was in a bad place today.

In order to produce the title song of this new album, she has been recording for three days in a row, but the more anxious she is, the worse her state becomes, not only has she not improved, but she is even worse than once. Don't be bored by the staff, she herself is about to cry.

It's too much pressure!

Nearly three years after her debut, record sales are getting worse and worse, and her fame is getting lower and lower......

The company's group of trainee children are getting better and better, and their strength is getting stronger and stronger, and it is impossible for the company to focus on her, an "old man" who has no future, such as this new album that has been promoted and focused on creating for her this time, and there may not be any more in the future.

From the day she came to "Nine Days of Pleasure" as a trainee, she had only one goal: to become a Superstar in the Chinese music scene!

For this goal, she endured the most hardships, practiced the most dances, exhausted every ounce of energy, and used diligence to make up for the lack of talent.

She knows that her musical talent is not as good as Stefanie, who debuted at the same time, her dancing may not be as good as Elva's, and her voice is not as good as Angela's, but can't she make up for it with diligence?

Therefore, she will devote all her strength to practicing dance and singing every day.

However, God seems to have abandoned her......

All the hard work may be in vain.

She didn't know if the day the company gave her up, she would completely collapse, and when the faith she had always insisted on collapsed, maybe the world would be completely colorless, right?

Shaking her head in frustration, she took off her headphones and said apologetically to the recording studio in front of the mixing console, "Sorry, Brother Jiang......"

Brother Jiang, who was not old but a little bald, sighed, glanced at Jolin, who was depressed with a small face, and wanted to scold, but he really couldn't say anything. He liked this hard-working and tenacious little girl very much, and he knew the root cause of her bad state, but he didn't know what he should say.

Brother Jiang barely squeezed out a smile and comforted him: "Don't always look depressed, the more difficult the time, the more you have to face the difficulties, how can you see the rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?" ”

Jolin smiled wryly, bit her lip, and was silent.

As soon as Brother Jiang looked up, he saw Zhang Yadong and Xu Zilong standing outside the recording studio, so he quickly got up, walked over and opened the door.

He knew in advance that Xu Zilong was going to record a song, and he had also seen his interview video, so when he saw Xu Zilong, he didn't need to be introduced, so he greeted him with a smile: "Brother Xu, right?" My name is Ding Manjiang, welcome welcome welcome ......"

Xu Zilong also responded with a smile: "Brother Ding...... Why don't we start now? You're so busy, don't delay your business, let's finish recording and pull it down early. ”

Zhang Yadong nodded: "That's okay, you go in and record, I'll take a look outside." ”

Ding Manjiang was slightly stunned: "This is recorded?" I haven't made the CD yet......"

Xu Zilong said: "You don't need to make music, just give me a guitar." ”

Ding Manjiang said in his heart that it's so simple? looked at Zhang Yadong, and saw that the boss was noncommittal, so he nodded: "Nacheng, let's go in." ”

The two of them went into the recording studio, and it happened that Jolin came out and passed by Xu Zilong.

Neither side spoke, Jolin nodded politely to Xu Zilong, and Xu Zilong also nodded in acknowledgement.

Jolin walked out, but didn't walk away immediately, saw Zhang Yadong sitting on the sofa, turned on the monitor speaker, went to the water dispenser to pour a glass of water, and handed it to Zhang Yadong.

Zhang Yadong took the water and said thank you, Jolin smiled and was about to walk away, but unexpectedly Zhang Yadong called her: "Jolin, sit down and listen." ”

"Oh."

Jolin obediently sat down on the other end of the couch.

In the "Nine Days of Pleasure", Zhang Yadong is undoubtedly NO.1, with absolute power, but his personality dictates that he is young and talented, and he can get along with his subordinates, especially the little girls in the company......

Jolin blinked, looked at Xu Zilong in the recording studio and sat in front of the MIC with a guitar on his head, and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Brother Dong, who is this person?"

"Xu Zilong, have you heard of "Father"?"

"Huh? That's him! ”

Jolin was taken aback, it turned out to be him!

Ding Manjiang sat in front of the mixer, put on a headset, and made an "OK" gesture at Xu Zilong.

Xu Zilong understood.

The sound of a crisp guitar can be heard from the monitors.

"Always ask for it

But they never said thank you

Until I grew up

It's not easy for you to understand

Every time you leave, always

Pretend to be relaxed

Smile and say go back

Turn around and wet your eyes with tears ......"

The low magnetic voice, the soothing and beautiful rhythm, when the song floats out of the stereo, it instantly drills into people's hearts, and there is a slow warm current.

The sound quality presented by professional recording equipment is more realistic, more delicate and more shocking than the recording during the interview.

Jolin sat quietly, his eyes bright.

Zhang Yadong closed his eyes slightly, seemed to be listening, and seemed to be thoughtful.

After a moment, the singing stopped.

Ding Manjiang walked out and gave Xu Zilong a thumbs up: "Over and over again!" Dude, you've been playing guitar for a long time, right? ”

As soon as the so-called connoisseur stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one, Xu Zilong's guitar is no worse than many veterans who have been immersed in it for many years.

"Hehe, I liked to play this ...... when I was in elementary school"

Xu Zilong opened his eyes and said nonsense.

I learned guitar in my last life because I had a crush on a senior sister in college, and that senior sister was from the music club, and she played the guitar well, so he bought a guitar, and then took the opportunity to approach it in the name of studying.

As a result, in a blink of an eye, the senior sister finished her studies, and she was not ashamed to go with a rich second-generation double house, and she was still a single dog singing sad love songs in the woods of the college......

But he is fortunate to have a good brain, as long as he learns things by heart, he can learn them, and he can learn them well.

The senior sister didn't get it, but she learned the guitar, and she can finally talk about masturbation, but it's not nothing......

Ding Manjiang exclaimed: "No wonder, no wonder. ”

Zhang Yadong beckoned Xu Zilong to sit down, thought about it, and said, "Actually, I think this song will be better if it is well arranged, will the effect be better?" ”

Xu Zilongxin said yes, but brother knows how to arrange Mao? I will also write a simple score......

Composition refers to the main theme of a song or a piece of music, and the process of creating the main theme is composition.

Arrangement, on the other hand, is the process of writing accompaniment harmonies specifically for the song or musical work according to the known main theme and the style of the work that the creator wishes to express. Which instruments to use, what kind of rhythm to choose, what kind of color chords to use, this is a great test of one's musical skills!?

The earth cannon can't play at all!

Generally speaking, people who are proficient in arranging music are not bad at composing! Because arranging requires a person to have a fairly comprehensive knowledge of music theory!

Xu Zilong has a fart knowledge of music theory?

But of course you can't say that, you can't even write such a good song with a soil cannon that can't even arrange music? And it's possible that I'll continue to write in the future, isn't that?

"I think the lyrics are simpler, the song is simpler, and it can better render the innocent father-son love that this song deduces......"

Zhang Yadong thought about it and felt that it made sense, besides, the song was written by someone, and it wasn't someone else's final say, so what kind of leisure did he follow?

At this time, Jolin poured a glass of water and handed it to Xu Zilong with both hands.

"Brother Xu, drink water......"

Xu Zilong hurriedly took the water and thanked him.

Jolin sat down next to Xu Zilong and looked at Xu Zilong with a pair of big eyes: "Brother Xu's song is so well written, and the singing is good, the first time I listened to it, I cried!" ”

Xu Zilong smiled: "I have won awards, the songs written by your BOOS are applauded, don't cancel me in front of the gods......"

Zhang Yadong looked at Jolin, and said in his heart that this girl is really smart, can she see her own thoughts?

He coughed lightly and looked at Xu Zilong: "My brother's skills in writing songs are really good, but I don't know if there are any other works?" ”

Jolin's eyes brightened, and he looked at Xu Zilong full of anticipation.

"Yes, there are ......"

When Zhang Yadong heard it, Zhengse said: "If it is not lower than the level of this "Father", how about selling it to me?" ”

I'll go! You're a big name in the music industry, give me a TV drama to invite me to sing?

But...... Recently, money has been really tight, maybe you can sell a good price to ease the economic situation?

Anyway, I have some songs in my head, so I can't just sing them all by myself, right? It's not impossible to sell a few songs at the right time.

After thinking about it, Xu Zilong looked at Jolin.

"I wrote a song that is suitable for girls to sing, especially for Miss Cai......"

Jolin's eyes brightened, he bit his lip, and secretly glanced at Zhang Yadong, but he didn't dare to speak.

The title song of the new album has not been recorded well, and for her own reasons, she doesn't feel that this song is quite suitable for her style, so it always doesn't play well.

From this song "Father", it can be seen that Xu Zilong's strength in creating songs is still quite powerful, since he said that there are songs that suit him, it shouldn't be too bad, right? I just don't know what Zhang Yadong thinks......

How could Zhang Yadong not see her thoughts?

He smiled: "Why don't you sing a few words?" ”

He didn't believe too much in Xu Zilong's words. You just listen to Jolin sing a few words, and dare to say that your song is suitable for her? I personally wrote the lyrics and composed the music as the title song of Jolin's new album, and I don't feel that the style is too right, so you dare to say anything?

If that's what you say, you're a master......

Xu Zilong was not hypocritical, and went directly to bring the guitar just now.

"I filled in the lyrics myself, but I just wrote the main melody, and before I had time to arrange the music, I sang a few words for everyone to listen to......"

Zhang Yadong sat up straight, showing his politeness.

Jolin bit her lip and focused......
