Chapter 61: The Best Birthday Present
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, but Hanhai Records, which had calmed down, suddenly became busy, and in a short period of time, people returned to the company one after another.
For Jiang Lin's whim, Song Huimin, Yu Weijie and others were not too surprised, and released the song in advance to warm up, which is an extremely common way to promote the album, not to mention that at this time, it is very appropriate to launch a song related to graduation first, the only obstacle is that the quality of the song must be outstanding enough, otherwise it is not conducive to album promotion, but this point is placed on Jiang Lin, but it is obviously not an obstacle, and he wrote "The Quiet Sea That Summer", "Feathers", "Eyelashes Bend", ", After the five songs of Grandma's Clear Water Bay and "Bad Sister", everyone was full of confidence in his creative strength.
After that, all the people involved in the album production rushed to Hanhai Company in the fastest time, and unlike ordinary companies, the record company mainly revolves around the singer, and the singer is a typical creature with a chaotic biological clock, and when he is busy, he is busy to death, and it is common to record songs all night.
"I'm sorry to disturb everyone's rest, everyone should know my thoughts, yes, I'm going to let Li Man record a graduation song overnight, launch it in the fastest time, and warm up through people's nostalgic plots." Speaking of this, Jiang Lin took out the score and handed it to Yu Weijie, who came to the scene.
"No Goodbye." Glancing at the title of the song, Yu Weijie immediately looked at the melody and lyrics, his eyes quickly moistened, and when he finished reading the score, he clenched his fists and said excitedly: "Okay, very good, how can such a song not be the title song, it is definitely more suitable than all the previous songs, Jiang Lin, you arrange to guide Li Man to record the song, I will immediately call Mr. Song to strive for the greatest resource support." ”
Jiang Lin smiled slightly, originally he was very concerned about the achievements of the song in the original time and space, but after the unexpected success of "The Bride Is Not Me" in this world, he found that it was not that the songs in the 21st century were not good enough, but that the Chinese music scene had collapsed at that time, and many good songs did not achieve the results they should have.
Therefore, when there were actually other options, he finally chose this song "Don't Say Goodbye", which had not yet reached the real fire in the original time and space.
This is a new song launched in 2015, it is the theme song of a youth movie whose name has been forgotten, and the original song is Good Sisters, an independent folk country band composed of two big men.
Compared with classic graduation songs such as "Goodbye" and "I Wish You a Happy Journey", the popularity of "Don't Say Goodbye" is undoubtedly far from the same, and the reason why this song was chosen, except for some songs that he is not prepared to sing and is not suitable for Li Man to sing, there is only one reason, this is a really touching song.
Before he crossed over, that youth movie had not yet been released, and in his opinion, if that movie could reach the popularity of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", "The Year in a Hurry", and "Carry Love to the End", then this song "Don't Say Goodbye" will never be inferior to the popularity of the three songs "Those Years", "The Year in a Hurry", and "Because of Love".
And hearing Yu Weijie's words, where can Ji Chengshan next to him still hold back, and when he finished reading the score, while admiring, he looked at Jiang Lin with indescribable resentment and speechlessness. It is difficult for others to write a good song, but he is good, good songs one after another, and they are songs with completely different styles.
At the same time, I can't help but look forward to Li Man's new album, "Feathers", "The Quiet Sea That Summer", "Grandma's Clear Water Bay", "Don't Say Goodbye", "Bad Sister", "Eyelashes Bend", with so many good songs, what kind of results will Li Man's new album achieve?
Jiang Lin didn't know what Ji Chengshan was thinking, and after having a few copies of the score, he immediately arranged the work, the most important of which was Xue An's arrangement and Li Man's singing.
For a professional singer, it is very easy to learn to sing a new song, and it is rare to carefully pick out the words, breathe, process, and grasp the feelings, until the song sings its own taste.
If there is no original song as a comparison, it is fine, with the original singer's touching singing as a comparison, Jiang Lin's requirements for Li Man are naturally extremely strict, after all, this is the first song he launched as a producer, and he doesn't want to have any regrets.
Constantly recording and singing, constantly adjusting the arrangement according to Li Man's singing, constantly improving the details, except for a short break in the interval, before I knew it, the time had come to the next night.
“ok!” Lin Yuquan made an OK gesture to Li Man in the recording studio, officially announcing that the recording had finally ended after 22 hours.
"Wow!" Li Man waved his white fist excitedly, and the tiredness on his face was completely covered by excitement.
"It's finally over, I didn't expect Jiang Lin to be stricter than me in terms of details, and besides, this is really your first studio recording, how can you be so sophisticated?" Ji Chengshan, who was full of exhaustion, said with a smile, his heart full of admiration.
"It's not easy, because I'm a genius." Jiang Lin spread out his hands and said seemingly plainly, with a faint smile in his eyes.
"Ha, that's right, because you're a genius, haha!" Ji Chengshan suddenly laughed.
Jiang Lin smiled, and it happened that Li Man also came out of the recording room, so he got up and clapped his hands: "Everyone, thank you for your hard work, let's go have supper, I'll treat you, I won't tell you that today is my birthday."
Everyone in the recording studio became dumbfounded, and Ji Chengshan smiled bitterly: "What, your birthday, why did you say it now?" There was nothing to prepare. ”
"Heh, what needs to be prepared here, let's go, let's go eat." Jiang Lin said with a smile.
"Thank you Jiang Lin, because my album production zuò made you unable to celebrate your birthday with your family and friends." As he walked out of the studio, Li Man caught up and said apologetically and gratefully.
"It's nothing, for me, it's the best birthday present if you can record the song." Jiang Lin smiled slightly.
Li Man smiled sweetly, and then said with a serious expression: "Jiang Lin, for a while before, I thought that it was like a nightmare for you to be my album producer, but now I think it is the luckiest thing in my life to have you as my producer." ”
"Really? Hopefully you'll still think that way in 10 years' time. Jiang Lin said with a smile, there was some meaning in his words, there is no shortage of ungrateful people in this world, how many people crossed the river and demolished the bridge after becoming famous and popular, and gave so many good songs to Li Man, he undoubtedly made a loss-making deal, if Li Man is ungrateful in the future, it must be very ridiculous, and I don't know if there is a day, I will regret today's decision.
"Twenty years, thirty years from now, I'll still think so." Li Man's eyes were extremely determined.
Jiang Lin smiled dumbly and waved his hand: "Ha, I'm joking with you, don't take it so seriously, the luckiest thing in your life should be to meet your parents, husband, children, as for me, let's go back a little bit!" ”
Looking at Jiang Lin's chic turn-around back, Li Man's eyes fluttered and he bit his lip tightly.
"Why didn't you tell me that today is your birthday, so I didn't prepare anything." Xia Bing, who came after receiving a call from Jiang Lin, couldn't help but complain as soon as they met.
"Hah, isn't that something you should be paying attention to as an agent? Do I need to sue you for everything? Jiang Lin shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
Xia Bing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Jiang Lin resentfully: "Okay, this time is my dereliction of duty, I will definitely pay attention in the future." ”
"Do you know what you're going to do next?" Jiang Lin said with a smile, with an indescribable ridicule in his tone.
Xia Bing suddenly frowned, obviously being asked.
"Stupid, you still don't admit that you're stupid, it's time to talk to Hanhai Records about my remuneration for writing songs, my agent." Jiang Lin promotes narrow roads.
Hearing Jiang Lin's teasing tone, Xia Bing's silver teeth gritted secretly, resisting the urge to kick him.
