Chapter 92: Selling Songs (3)
People who are professional in music are different from my own petty fights at home, especially Zhou Yu, who is very strict and serious about making music. And my own singing skills are very poor, and in her eyes, my mouth is full of problems. She repeatedly corrected every detail of my every sentence, from the morning to noon, more than two hours passed, and a few sentences were not recorded.
In the end, I looked at Zhou Yu helplessly, and there was a shadow when I opened my mouth to sing in front of her.
"Can we lower the requirements a little bit?"
Zhou Yu shook his head expressionlessly.
"I can't."
I looked at Zhou Yu with melancholy eyes, and George behind her looked at me with sympathetic eyes.
"Honestly, Mr. Chen. I even doubt that this song is your own work, and in many places, your understanding of this song is not in place, and even the way you sing it is completely wrong. ”
I raised my eyebrows: "Are you doubting that I'm not Siyue?" ”
Zhou Yu shook his head: "No, on the contrary, I am sure that you are Siyue herself." Because judging from the two songs that Siyue has released, the level of singing and understanding of the songs are not even as good as your current recording level. ”
I leaned back in my chair and watched Zhou Yu in silence.
Zhou Yu didn't care about being looked at by me at all, and he had no intention of giving in.
When it comes to music, she's really scary and serious.
We were silent for a while, and then she said, "Then let's do it, I'll sing this song "The Queen of Heaven" again, you feel it, how it should be sung. ”
Zhou Yu walked to Mai, cleared his throat, and sang softly.
"Finally found an excuse to take advantage of the drunkenness
Express all my feelings
The loneliness grows and the silence remains in the corner of the dance floor
You say too little or too much
It will make people more frightened
Whoever is allowed to indulge will be the first to give up his freedom
It always has to be me in the end
With your feet in the air, you wander between your cold passion
All of them have to be accepted with a smile
I am jealous of your love, and I am like a rainbow
Like a popular diva
……”
Zhou Yu's singing skills really surprised me, I was sitting lazily on the back of the chair, listening to her singing, I couldn't help but sit up. I don't know how many times I've listened to Chen Shi'an's version in my previous life, but I think it's an absolute classic. But when I heard Zhou Yu's version of "The Queen of Heaven", I had a different feeling.
Zhou Yu's voice was low with a faint sense of sexuality, and the atmosphere of the whole song was brought out from the first sentence. Especially in the chorus, her tension, her rich emotional expression, and the slight hoarseness from the treble part made my scalp tingle and goosebumps all over my body.
After singing a song, I still couldn't get enough of looking at her back in a daze. It's really hard to imagine that such a petite body can burst out with such shocking power.
"Mr. Chen, this is my understanding of this song. Maybe a lot of places are not perfect, but there are also some places that you can learn a little bit from. ”
Zhou Yu came over to talk to me, and I came to my senses and saw that George was also shocked.
Kong Peikai, who never spoke like a wooden man, applauded lightly, and he sighed: "This song is so suitable for you Zhou Yu, if you can sing this song, you will definitely become popular overnight." This song can save you ten years of struggle on the road of music. ”
Zhou Yu smiled, with a little regret. What surprised me was that Zhou Yu, who had never been strict and unsmiling, actually smiled with a touch of shyness, like a girl next door.
Kong Peikai's words reminded me.
I know his purpose must be impure, but I don't care about his thoughts.
Because I never planned to position the name Siyue as a singer, if I give this song to Zhou Yu to sing, with her performance just now, I believe that once this song is released, it will definitely shock the entire Chinese music scene.
A win-win situation, why not.
I snapped my fingers and got up from my seat. Zhou Yu gave me the position to start the recording, and I waved my hand.
"I won't record it, Miss Zhou Yu, I want to ask you to be the singer of this song."
"Me?" Zhou Yu looked at me in surprise.
"Yes."
"Why are you suddenly asked me to sing?" Zhou Yu hesitated and looked at me.
I smiled and didn't explain.
Zhou Yu's face was tangled, and his eyes were complicated.
I can probably guess what she was thinking, and although I only met her today, I was already impressed by her angular personality. According to her character, she must not want to accept my favor for no reason now, but she really can't resist the temptation to sing this song.
I don't need to say how hard the road is to music. Kong Peikai said that this song can save her ten years of struggle, which is not an exaggeration at all. How many singers with excellent singing skills but suffering from no suitable songs to sing have been tepid in the entertainment industry for many years, and their names are rarely remembered.
Get this "Queen of Heaven" in hand, Zhou Yu's name can be known by the majority of singers overnight.
Zhou Yu did not refuse in the end.
She gritted her teeth, looked at me very embarrassed, and was silent for a long time before she said with difficulty: "Mr. Chen, I owe you a favor." ”
I smiled, I didn't care about this favor.
Because of songs like this, I can still come up with a lot of them anytime and anywhere.
…………
After the singing was handed over to Zhou Yu, I was idle, leaning on the chair to listen to Zhou Yu's hard singing, and listening to the singer with such singing skills singing with all his strength was a pleasure.
I also admire Zhou Yu's seriousness and hard work, and she has moved me once she sings. But she was not satisfied, and sang it over and over again. Strive for perfection in every detail.
"I don't have a good understanding of the song, I want to get familiar with it for a few days, adjust the state to the best, and then record it."
Zhou Yu looked at me with a soliciting gaze.
I certainly won't say no.
So Zhou Yu began to sing this song over and over again, putting all his emotions and strength into it every time, concentrating and having no distractions.
People who are serious about their work, regardless of gender, really have a different kind of charm. Zhou Yu, who is already beautiful and has 85 points, looks like he is singing seriously, I give it a score of 90.
I was bored and thought of beautiful women from Zhou Yu, and then I listed the beautiful women I knew and made a comparison.
In terms of appearance first, it must be Jiang Yu first, there is no dispute. Qiao Shanshan is a little worse, second.
Su Jing and Gu Yue are ranked third or fourth, but Gu Yue's position in my heart is a bit special, and I can't simply compare my appearance.
Zhang Yuxin, I know that she will become more and more beautiful, probably on the same level as Su Jing.
and Zhao Ya, forget it, she is still a child, so she can't compare.
Zhao Yan's words, fifth.
Cao Jia...... No, she's just a foodie.
Taking stock of the beauties I knew, a figure that had been dusty for a long time suddenly broke into my mind.
Excerpt Ziyu ...... In terms of appearance, she in her memory is probably comparable to Jiang Yu.
The thought popped up and made my whole body tremble.
I felt my heart tingle.
Haven't I forgotten about her? I smiled bitterly, and my face turned pale.
Staying at Moonlight Studios until four o'clock in the afternoon, I left. When leaving, Zhou Yu didn't notice it, and devoted himself to the singing of the song.
George and I agreed to come over on Friday night to check the recording.
