Chapter 646: Ye Zi's Request
For Ye Zi, of course, there are many questions to ask, involving all aspects. It is not a simple matter to fully participate in the production of Brother Xueyou's album, which is very different from Ye Zi's promise to supervise the comeback album for Sister Mei.
From the very beginning, Sister Mei was completely in charge of Ye Zi, setting the production framework of the album, setting the requirements for finding songs, setting the tone of the album, and even setting the style of Sister Mei's singing. What's even more different is that Sister Mei has only released a Chinese album before, and has not yet formed the style and characteristics of Chinese song singing, and Ye Zi is fully capable and confident to surpass.
It's like drawing on a blank piece of paper, as long as you really draw it well, everyone will accept it and approve it. In addition, Ye Zi formulated the production idea of a fever record for Sister Mei's comeback album, and the starting point is already standing on a high place, and the possibility of success is very great.
But Brother Snow Friends is different here.
Brother Xue You's previous release of four albums and a selection is already considered deep. Entered the field of Chinese albums. Although it is not very successful, it belongs to Brother Xueyou's own singing style and characteristics. If we want to make a real breakthrough, it will inevitably involve corrections in all aspects, but where is this correction so easy to do?
Brother Xue You's painting has already painted a lot of content, and it is not a little difficult to complete or even better this painting on the basis of maintaining the original characteristics of this painting! If it weren't for Ye Zi knowing what to do, today's meeting, Ye Zi would not have been able to agree to them.
But now, after understanding the reason why Brother Xue Youyou values him, of course Ye Zi has to agree to this good thing. All kinds of other issues are trivial, such as the way of cooperation, the protection of their respective interests, etc., and when the time comes, these can be handed over to Taitai Wenhui to negotiate with Mrs. Chen, Ye Zi believes that these problems will definitely not stump these two old and spicy agents.
Next, take care of the matter first, and then ask for some necessary information.
It's just that...... It's a little pity that some songs must be returned to their original owners, otherwise they don't have such confidence, and Ye Zi doesn't dare to take over such an errand easily. In addition, there is one of the most important things, which is to persuade Brother Xue to make certain changes.
Ye Zi is a singer himself, and he knows that this is the most troublesome thing.
……
"I want to ...... I don't have much more to ask. Ye Zi glanced at each other with Tantai Wenhui, gave her a hint of a look, and said: "Sister Chen, Brother Xueyou, Brother Xiaobao, since you can afford me and trust me, I am willing to make this attempt." ”
"Okay, good, that's great." Brother Xue was very happy, and immediately stretched out his right hand: "Little Yezi, happy cooperation!" ”
Ye Zi looked at Brother Xue You with a smile, and stretched out his hand to stop it: "Brother Xue You, you wait first, I still need you to promise me one thing before we cooperate, otherwise, we will not be able to do this cooperation." ”
"Oh? Is it related to me? You say you say. Brother Xue You didn't think about Ye Zi's behavior, but became more and more serious, he knew that Ye Zi should be targeted.
Ye Zi nodded lightly: "Brother Xueyou, I haven't carefully checked the time, so I'm not sure that I will definitely take over the complete producer of this album." But even if you don't have time, I'll help you produce a few original compositions, and help you frame the whole album and get your ideas straight. ”
"What I ask of you is to sing, I need you to trust me 100% and do what I ask of you. Brother Xueyou, this is what I want you to promise me. Of course, I won't ask for something you can't do at all, but my request may conflict with your usual singing habits. ”
"Brother Xueyou, think about it first and then tell me your answer."
Brother Xue You's brows furrowed slightly.
After 7 years of debut, whether it is Cantonese songs or Chinese songs, Brother Xue Youge has already formed his own distinctive style and characteristics, in this case, Ye Zi asked him to sing in full accordance with the requirements of the producer like a young singer who had just debuted, and of course he could not accept it immediately in his heart.
What superstar-level singer doesn't have his own dignity?
But don't agree, look at Ye Zi's demeanor, it is obvious that this request is the bottom line that he is willing to take over, and he will definitely not be accommodating.
Brother Xue Youyou fell into deep thought.
Mrs. Chen was still sitting there peacefully, watching the conversation between Ye Zi and Brother Xue with a smile on her face, and did not interject, but Ou Dingyu nodded silently in her heart.
As one of the best producers in Xiangjiang, of course he knows that as a producer, he must first establish absolute authority in front of the singer, and everyone can discuss if there are differences, but once the producer makes a decision, the singer must implement it. Even if you are facing a superstar like Brother Xue You, even if it turns out that a decision at that time was wrong and can be reversed and corrected again, the original decision must not be changed. Otherwise, everything will be messed up in the production of the album. Especially since Ye Zi's age is so young, it is even more necessary to have such an authoritative requirement. Without this kind of authority, no matter how good the song Ye Zi comes up with, no matter how good the idea is, he can't really make a successful album, and he can only make one or two successful songs at most. If so, it would be a shame.
Ye Zi's request is exactly that.
This can be regarded as a kind of respect that Ye Zi asked for from Brother Xueyou, if there is no such respect, then Ye Zi will really not accept this cooperation, he would rather sell one or two songs or even send one or two songs out than go to this troubled water. You must know that if you really cooperate, Ye Zi will inevitably meet Lin Wenjie again, will there be any accidents because of this, no one can foresee and guarantee, why should Ye Zi be troubled? Even if Lin Wenjie doesn't come to find trouble, if Brother Xue You refuses to agree to such a request, Ye Zi will inevitably have a conflict with Brother Xue You when recording the song, which is not beautiful.
It's really better to talk about things in front, the villain first and then the gentleman.
Tantai Wenhui also looked at Ye Zi and Brother Xue You, and she absolutely supported such a request.
……
After being silent for a long time, Ye Zi was already about to give up, and Brother Xue You finally spoke: "Xiao Yezi, I want to ask you what aspect of singing your request is about?" Or do I have to adjust my overall singing style according to your requirements? ”
Brother Xue You takes this very seriously, and this is also a matter of course.
Ye Zi smiled: "Brother Xueyou, where do you want to go?" Your singing style has been set, I can't make you change it too much, it's absolutely unrealistic and undesirable, I want you to do just some stylistic tweaks, such as ...... Vibrato, such as the control of sound and timbre details, are small things, but they may not be what you're used to. ”
"I'll give you a quick example, the Vibrato is very obvious when you sing, and that's one of your characteristics, but when you record this album, I might ask you to restrain this overly obvious Vibrato, depending on the situation of the song. Brother Xueyou, what I ask of you is a change similar to this. ”
"I see." Brother Xue You, obviously relieved.
Whether it's Vibrato or the detailed control of the voice, this is a very important part that never affects the overall singing style, and of course Brother Xue can accept such a request.
"That's no problem, I can promise you to sing as you ask."
"Little leaf, we can work together happily, right?" Brother Xue You, with a smile, stretched out his right hand again.
This time, of course, Ye Zi couldn't let Brother Xue You's hand take it back, that would definitely offend Brother Xue You's death. Reaching out to shake Brother Xue You, Ye Zi nodded heavily: "Brother Xue You, happy cooperation!" ”
"Okay, good, happy cooperation, we will definitely have a happy cooperation!" Brother Xue You's excitement suddenly became excited: "Sister Chen, this is a good thing today, let's open a bottle of wine to celebrate, right?" ”
"Brother Xueyou," without waiting for Mrs. Chen to speak, Ye Zi preemptively said: "I remember that you spent a long time and a lot of energy to quit drinking, and Sister Chen also took a lot of effort to help you break free from alcohol addiction. It's not easy for you to do this, and I know you've paid a lot for it, so Brother Xueyou...... If you can't break the vows, try not to break the vows. Your future is still long, and there are more peaks waiting for you to climb and surpass! ”
"Come, Brother Xueyou," Ye Zi raised his teacup: "Replace wine with tea, I toast you, my request just now is a little offensive, don't take it to heart." ”
"I'll do it first for respect!"
Looking at the bottom of Ye Zi's cup and clear eyes, Brother Xue Youyou was a little surprised, a little moved, a little annoyed, and a little embarrassed. Three or four years ago, Brother Xue You, because of the poor results of the album, was disappointed and fell into the quagmire of alcohol addiction, and almost ruined his future in the music industry, which is well known in the Xiangjiang music scene. If it weren't for Mrs. Chen's hard lesson and helping him pull him ashore from the mire, maybe the current Xiangjiang music scene would really lose the position of Brother Xueyou.
The same mistakes must not be repeated!
Brother Xue Youyou raised his teacup: "Okay, Xiao Yezi, let's replace wine with tea, and I'll do it too!" ”
"Well, that's the real good thing." Mrs. Chen stood up with a smile and refilled the tea for everyone: "Come on, come on, what Xiao Yezi just said is good, replace wine with tea, we celebrate this cooperation." ”
"It's done!"
"It's done!"
The five teacups touched each other slightly. (To be continued.) )
