This album is Jay Chou's last album on Alpha Records, and Jay Chou's rise has brought endless income to Alpha Music, and the entire company is fully prepared for the final battle.

Yang Lin entered the Alpha Company and found that everyone was in a hurry, and the whole company looked like a precision machine, with every part running.

"Jay is waiting for you in the studio, come with me." Although the whole staff is quite polite, there is a kind of transcendent pride in their eyebrows. With Jay Chou, Asia's top company, they seem to be superior when it comes to treating some celebrities.

Yang Lin is too lazy to see this kind of blind and arrogant person. Zhang Qian and Liu Tian followed Yang Lin closely, and they would wait for Yang Lin in the lounge next to the recording studio.

The group followed the staff member through the company, and Yang Lin looked up and looked around from time to time to see what was different from Huayi Brothers.

Hmph, a bunch of dirt buns. The staff member was silently disdainful in his heart. Platform. It is not a matter of a day or two that the entertainment industry looks down on the mainland entertainment industry, which is a long-term sense of superiority.

The studio was silent, without a single sound. The staff led Yang Lin to push open the door and enter, "Jay, someone brought it." He said in a friend-like tone to Jay Chou, who was sitting on the sofa and watching the score.

"Hmm." He is a man of few words, and he is very stingy with every word. Yang Lin stood in front of Jay Chou and said, "I didn't expect to meet so soon." How's your album going? ”

Jay Chou had already stood up, he looked at the person in front of him who looked very mature, and he didn't believe that he was not yet 22 years old, much younger than himself. But there is no age gap between the two when they talk, and they share a lot of the same musical philosophy.

"We've just started, and I've recorded my first song. I didn't expect you to come so soon to record, I thought you would come after July. Jay Chou doesn't see Yang Lin either, although the two don't meet much, their friendship is not bad.

"After I finished promoting my new album in June, I was going to shoot "Color. Ring", there was definitely no time at that time. Now I'm going to take advantage of the time to come to Taiwan to warm up the album and record it with you. Let's start with it, I only have two and a half days to spare, and I may have to go to a few programs that are not popular or purple in the middle, do you think we can finish the MV after recording? ”

Jay Chou took out the MV plan from the table next to him, Yang Lin looked at it, this basically has no requirements for him, it is possible that his role can be filmed in just one hour, after all, the most important thing is Jay Chou's role.

"It should be soon, I'm the director of the MV, and I'll give priority to shooting your scenes when the time comes." A happy smile appeared on his face, "My album also includes the theme song of my first movie, have you heard of "The City is Full of Golden Armor"? According to Zhang Yimou's idea, the theme song is exposed first, and my album is used to attract popularity. I'm the number two. He said it with confidence, and the role this time was quite likable. As a representative of singing and acting, Jay Chou has a lot of pressure.

No one will deny his achievements in the music world, but he is much weaker in acting, last time in "Initial D", Jay Chou had a good performance, but he lost to Yang Lin in the competition for the Best Newcomer Award at the Golden Horse Awards.

"You sit down and take a rest, and I'll introduce you to someone later, he is my right-hand man, without him, there would be no Jay Chou today."

Yang Lin is not hypocritical, he is sitting next to Jay Chou, of course Yang Lin knows the person in his mouth very well, who doesn't know Fang Wenshan's name. As a lyricist, his fame is higher than that of some second- and third-tier stars.

Yang Lin and Jay Chou sat on the sofa and chatted with each other. "Have you memorized all the lyrics? It's okay to record it later, right? ”

Smiling confidently, Yang Lin patted his chest, "Of course it's no problem." I'm ready to go. ”

At this time, the door to the recording studio was pushed open again. Two middle-aged men walked in, one wearing a peaked cap and a small beard, looking very bookish. The other has a beard and looks quite rugged.

"Let me introduce you, this one wearing a peaked cap is Fang Wenshan. Next to him is my sound engineer Black Worm. Jay Chou had to get up and introduce the two to Yang Lin.

For a long time, Yang Lin had only heard of Fang Wenshan, a character who used words superbly, and now he finally saw the true face of Lushan. "I've heard about you for a long time, and now I'm finally acquainted. Your words are so well written, each one is a classic! ”

Fang Wenshan was a little bad at words, and Yang Lin couldn't help but smile secretly when he saw his somewhat flushed face. "Where, your words are only well written, I have carefully scrutinized "Blue and White Porcelain", and almost a word cannot be changed. Such beautiful writing is much better than mine. ”

The silent black worm opened his mouth and smiled, "You two don't flatter each other. You'd better hurry up and record. ”

After hearing the words of the black worm, Jay Chou and Yang Lin walked to the soundproof room with the music score. It's not time to start recording, and you must open your voice properly before the official recording, otherwise your voice won't open up for a while.

After a while, "one by one", both of them smiled with satisfaction, and the effect was not bad. After Jay Chou saw Yang Lin opening his voice, the stone in his heart fell. This song was originally going to invite the little brother Fei Yuqing, but he tried his best to override the public opinion and was ready to invite Yang Lin to sing. If Yang Lin's true performance is not worthy of him, it will be a slap in the face.

Anyway, the cooperation between the two needs to be run-in, there was no cooperation at all before, the two need to understand each other, and only when they understand can they cooperate well.

The lyrics of "Thousands of Miles Away" describe the feelings of the children of the beacon fire in a big era, and the sentence "where the love is deep, life and death are difficult to guess" point out that the love in the war era mostly ends in tragedy. Continuing the pathos of the previous album "Hair Like Snow", Jay Chou and Yang Lin sang the sad songs of the big era in the way of "male-male duet".

Jay Chou's voice is a little hoarse and blurry, while Yang Lin's voice is more clear and rich. The two voices wafted through the soundproof room, sparks colliding with each other.

"The eaves are like cliffs, the wind chimes are like the sea, I wait for the swallow to return." Yang Lin was the first to speak, his voice sounded very steady, and he sang softly about the elegance and waiting.

Jay Chou glanced at him, and then sang into the microphone in front of him with his own unique R&B singing voice: "The time is arranged, play an accident, you quietly walk away." "Jay Chou's bass sings beautifully, and there is almost nothing to find fault with.

Although it is a duet, but in fact, in the recording studio, there is still a person singing alone, and the other person stands aside to help with the singing. Jing was already very proficient in singing, and now he has to cooperate with Jay Chou, and then sing the feeling in his heart.

Overall, the two seem to have a sense of complementarity, and Yang Lin's singing style is serious, a bit biased towards the high notes. And Jay Chou is R&B, slightly inclined to bass.

"The wind doesn't exist, it's me who is emotional. Wake up from the dream, who is on the windowsill to open the ending. ”

"The future that is as thin as a cicada's wings, who can't help but guess!" After these two soaring high notes, they turned sharply, and Yang Lin and Jay Chou were able to handle it freely.

After a brief pass, the two stood in the soundproof room, and Jay Chou motioned to the black worm to put it over and listen to it to see how it felt.

The beautiful and simple melody echoed in his ears, and Yang Lin had a hunch that this would definitely be a very popular Chinese-style song in KTV.

Jay Chou is the producer of this record himself, so everything is subject to him. "It sounds good just now, but sometimes the two of us still don't get it together, and it feels rough. Although we both stepped on the right note, there was always a sense of disobedience. Jay Chou didn't know exactly how to say this, so it was a little vague.

And Yang Lin easily understood what he meant, "Do you want my voice to be more in line with you?" Sing more elegantly, or that idleness? ”

Jay Chou scratched the back of his head, "That's pretty much what it means." I feel like it's a rather poignant song, so it would be nice if we could bring that feeling into our singing. ”

Yang Lin nodded, Jay Chou's understanding of music is very thorough, and Yang Lin didn't think of many of the questions he raised. "Again?"

"Okay."

Both of them are now working hard to record as soon as possible.

After singing five or six times in a row, Jay Chou was finally satisfied with the effect. He took off his headphones and said to Yang Lin: "Go out and take a break, let's start the official recording later." ”

The temperature of the soundproof room is quite high, even if there is air conditioning, I don't dare to deliver too much cold air, for fear of affecting the singers' performance and more noise.

Taking the warm water handed over by Fang Wenshan, Yang Lin said thank you softly. His throat is pretty dry now, and this glass of warm water is just right.

"I'll start singing later, I guess it's not too difficult, we can get over it soon." Jay Chou said with a smile.

Dubbing is a good sound quality, which can be well matched with the auxiliary lead singer, and the key is in harmony.

After a few minutes of rest, the two entered the soundproof room again.

The two sing face-to-face, especially in the chorus, the expression of the two voices is different, and the two different vocal interpretations are combined, sounding clear but integrated.

The recording took just over three hours to complete, and everyone in the studio was hungry but happy.
