Chapter 26: The Lemei Combo
When Zhuang Xiaoxian was very young, she liked to imitate those female singers on TV, and after listening to them sing, she also sang two sentences intoxicated. When she was in school, although she did not have the conditions to study music professionally, Zhuang Xiaoxian still loved music, and she actively participated in various singing competitions, and won awards in singing competitions at the district and municipal levels.
Later, when she grew up, her parents told her that she should focus on her studies and that she could only get ahead by studying hard, so Zhuang Xiaoxian began to study seriously, and music was abandoned in the corner.
After being admitted to Kyoto University of Communication and Communication, Zhuang Xiaoxian gradually understood that studying hard does not necessarily lead to success, and only by pursuing dreams can she enrich her life.
After meeting Bai Yuxin, Li Chunni, and Xiao Yixuan, Zhuang Xiaoxian began to dig out what she wanted in her heart, that is, music.
The four people are of the same age, have the same dreams, and have the passion to pursue their dreams, so a year ago, the "Lemei Group" was established.
At first, the Lok Mei group was only active in Kyoto University of Communication and Communication, but after a year of running-in, the strength of the Lok Mei group gradually improved, and the fit of the group became stronger and stronger. But the only weakness of the group is the lack of creative power, that's right, although the four of them sing well, but the musical creative power is their shortcoming.
If you want to go further and further on the road of music, you can't do it without your own original songs, maybe a single singer is not so obvious, because you can rely on covers to accumulate a certain amount of fame for yourself. But bands and groups are different, this kind of group has nothing of its own, and if they imitate others forever, they can only mix at the bottom of the music world until they are eliminated.
Zhuang Xiaoxian also thought about this problem, the Lemei group really needs a song of their own, even if it is not released, it can be put on the Internet. But the current situation is that the Lemei group does not have an original song that is suitable and belongs to them.
And all four of them are still students, and they don't have more money to hire even third-rate songwriters to create their works.
Four girls in their early twenties, in the prime of their youth, had to reluctantly accept the collapse of their dreams before their dreams began.
"I know they don't want to disband our group, but we can't help it, each of us has to survive and graduate soon, so we have to start going our separate ways."
Zhuang Xiaoxian told Chen Yixu the story of "Lemei Combination" from beginning to end, which is a story about dreams and reality.
After Chen Yixu listened quietly, he felt a little regretful.
The four pure-minded girls rejected the olive branch of the record company and the flattery of investors, they are not hypocritical, nor are they pretentious, they have their own bottom line, they are one of the few people in this bustling city who stick to the bottom line.
Chen Yixu admired Zhuang Xiaoxian and her three friends very much, even if they were defeated by reality in the end, they did not succumb to reality, although they were defeated, they were still glorious.
"Uncle, when I say this, I actually want to ask you to help us compose songs, only in this way can the Lemei group have a chance to continue to save zài."
Zhuang Xiaoxian said her "purpose" quite directly, she felt that since she had talked so much with her uncle "openly", there was no need to hide the purpose tactfully.
"Of course, we'll pay you, but ...... We don't have a lot of money. ”
Chen Yixu smiled slightly, he is not short of money now, but this does not mean that Chen Yixu will refuse Zhuang Xiaoxian's request.
If the four girls really have great potential, it would be a pity to scatter like this.
"Well, tell me the details of your group, and I'll see if I can help you create it when I get back."
Zhuang Xiaoxian was a little overjoyed, she was not sure if the talented uncle would help her, but when the uncle said this, it meant that he agreed to help the Lemei group create the work.
"Uncle, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Lemei group." Zhuang Xiaoxian said gratefully: "Uncle, you are really a good person. ”
Chen Yixu was issued a good person card by Zhuang Xiaoxian in this way.
Then, Zhuang Xiaoxian began to tell Chen Yixu about the styles that are suitable for the Lemei group, such as beautiful and soft songs, there are also youthful and energetic, and they can also sing ancient songs.
According to these, what Chen Yixu needs to do is to give them a position, and then he can create works that are suitable for their combination.
"I can compose the song tonight, as for whether it is suitable for you, I can't say for sure, this needs to be practiced before you can judge." Chen Yixu said to Zhuang Xiaoxian seriously.
The melancholy on Zhuang Xiaoxian's face seemed to be blown away by the wind, and she was very surprised when she heard Chen Yixu say that she could create the work in one night: "Uncle, can you create it in one night?" ”
Chen Yixu nodded, and suddenly realized: "Will it be too fast?" ”
"Not fast, not fast." Zhuang Xiaoxian smiled and shook her head.
Zhuang Xiaoxian knows that the creation that Chen Yixu said is just a simple composition of lyrics and music, and a basic sample of a song, as for professional arrangement, professional people in the later stage can only complete it with professional equipment, such as moistening and trimming, most of the songs sung by singers have been processed in real time or post-processing.
But it doesn't matter, as long as there are lyrics and a simple score, you can sing a complete song, this is the most basic music reading, since Zhuang Xiaoxian is engaged in music, this should not be difficult for her and her teammates.
Therefore, Chen Yixu only needs to make simple lyrics and music scores first, and then let the Lemei group try to sing it, knowing that the song created does not meet them.
"Uncle, then I'll call Yuxin, Chunni and Yixuan tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?" Chen Yixu vaguely remembered that he seemed to have something to do tomorrow.
The original sound will be officially launched the day after tomorrow, Chen Yixu and Peng Xiuya have already discussed that they will record the song tomorrow, and Zhuang Xiaoxian will probably have to postpone it.
"I'm in a hurry to record a song tomorrow, or it won't take two days, right?"
"Uncle, you want to record a song?" Zhuang Xiaoxian felt that this uncle was much more powerful than she imagined.
If you make an album of his original songs, you might become a leader in the music industry in the future.
In Zhuang Xiaoxian's memory, there are several singers who only stepped into the Chinese music scene in their thirties, and then they became famous in one fell swoop with their own talent and hard work.
"Uncle, I have a Jianyì, I don't know if I should say it or not."
"Say it."
Zhuang Xiaoxian still hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yixu asked suspiciously.
"Uncle, we also have a professional recording studio in the School of Communication, if Uncle doesn't mind, you can go there tomorrow to record songs, and by the way, you can also guide us."
"Yes."
Zhuang Xiaoxian didn't expect Chen Yixu to agree so refreshingly.
If Chen Yixu records a song tomorrow, because he signed a B-level contract with Peng Xiuya and their company, the treatment is not as good as that of a first-line singer, and after the first-line singer signs the contract, if he wants to record a song and sell it on the original sound platform, the company will definitely provide a professional recording studio for use.
As for Chen Yixu, he can't enjoy that kind of treatment now, so he can only pay for it to go to the recording studio outside to record songs.
Since he promised to help Zhuang Xiaoxian and record a song tomorrow, wouldn't it be great if the two things could be done on the same day, Chen Yixu didn't have any reason to refuse.
Unconsciously, Chen Yixu and Zhuang Xiaoxian chatted a lot. Chen Yixu knows very well in his heart that he probably likes this young and beautiful girl, and the thirty-one-year-old uncle likes a twenty-one-year-old college student, which is a bit absurd to say, which is also the reason why Chen Yixu has always been "subtle", because he doesn't know what Zhuang Xiaoxian thinks.
As for agreeing to write songs for Zhuang Xiaoxian, Chen Yixu is to help her regain her confidence, and it is a pity that a rising star has not yet begun to die like this.
After chatting for a while, Chen Yixu felt that the time was not early, Peng Xiuya was still in the hospital with her daughter and waiting for her to take over, so she and Zhuang Xiaoxian left a phone call with each other, and after sending Zhuang Xiaoxian to the taxi, Chen Yixu also went back to the hospital.
……
The next day, You Wei came to the hospital as promised, according to the previous arrangement, today You Wei accompanied Liu Kite in the hospital, and Chen Yixu went to record a song.
Originally, Peng Xiuya was going to go outside with Chen Yixu to find a recording studio to record a song today, and after the recording, let Peng Xiuya take it to the company to the person in charge, which is quite trouble-free.
But today, Peng Xiuya's company has a lot of things, and she is unexpectedly busy, she said that she can't even ask for leave, there is no way, Chen Yixu has to complete the song recording alone.
"I didn't expect there to be so many things in the company today, you can just record the song and copy it to me." Peng Xiuya reminded Chen Yixu on the phone to finish recording the song to her as soon as possible, because tomorrow the "original voice" will be launched, and after the company gets the singer's recorded song, it has to be ready to go online.
Since Peng Xiuya is busy at work, Chen Yixu can just record the song by himself, and think about it carefully, it's okay, Peng Xiuya didn't know that she knew a female college student, and she also promised to help the female college student write a song. If Peng Xiuya knew about this, maybe there would be some misunderstanding.
Peng Xiuya is Chen Yixu's old classmate and friend, and she always thought that Chen Yixu still liked Ouyang Qiuxi, who had become a top superstar. However, what she doesn't know is that the current Chen Yixu is no longer the Chen Yixu before, as for the Ouyang Qiuxi they often talk about, Chen Yixu has not seen her so far, this woman lives in the memory of the original Chen Yixu, not herself!
Leaving the hospital, Chen Yixu went to the bank to withdraw some money, then flagged down a taxi and went straight to Kyoto University of Communication and Communication.
