Chapter 245: Training Liu Yifei [I]
The pre-sale volume of nearly 100,000 should be second to none in the mainland music scene, even other big-name films in the mainland do not have so many total sales, after all, mp3 downloads in this era have hurt singers, and if you can have 100,000 sales, it is considered a top level.
The overall level of the mainland music scene is not as good as that of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, which can be seen from the album sales. Yang Lin is undoubtedly an outlier, and he can snatch such a big piece of meat from the mouth of a Hong Kong and Taiwan singer, which makes it impossible for others not to be envious and jealous.
Besides, now is not the peak period for album pre-sales, and Yang Lin estimates that sales after today will usher in a new wave of growth. Last night's Pepsi Music Billboard news has not yet spread on a large scale, with the recognition of so many awards, the quality of Yang Lin's new album is also higher guaranteed, and it will be able to attract more people.
Aside from these pre-sales, Yang Lin wants to go to Liu Yifei's recording studio to have a look, because she is recording "Singing in the Tree" that she gave her, which needs to be checked by Yang Lin himself.
Recently, Yang Lin and Jay Chou are two characters who are standing on the cusp of the storm, one is because Jolin Tsai has released an album, and the love between the two J is constantly being turned out, Jay Chou is a negative man in the mouth of reporters, not to mention that the reason why Jay Chou and Hou Peichen rejected the Pepsi Music Billboard turned out to be inconvenient to be on the same stage.
Jay has been in the North since then. Jing returned to the stage after walking the catwalk with Yang Lin. Wan retreated to practice his own album, and the songs of the album were all selected, and Yang Lin was invited to record the chorus song many times.
The outside world has expressed great interest in the collision of two popular idols and two peak lyricists and composers, this is a strong combination, as for what song it is, fans are eager to see through it, because Yang Lin has been active in front of the camera, and there is no intention to record.
In fact, Yang Lin has already got this song called "A Thousand Miles Away", he has memorized all the lyrics and songs, and he can barely hum after listening to the master tape, he plans to go to Taiwan at the end of May, otherwise when his album is released, there will be no time to record, and there must be all kinds of publicity activities every day.
Jay Chou didn't urge Yang Lin too much, so he chose other songs to record first.
According to the guidance of Liu Yifei's staff, Yang Lin and others came to the recording studio in Chaoyang District in a low-key manner. Yang Lin still has to see people today, so he dressed up a little, he looked refreshing and generous, and the strong star flavor on his body was hidden.
The recording studio is a quiet place, so the staff took Yang Lin to the door and left by himself, Zhang Qian patted Yang Lin on the shoulder and whispered, "Call me when you're done." They followed to the other break rooms.
Yang Lin gently pushed open the door with good sound insulation, and he held his breath without making a sound. He looked around and found a middle-aged man with long hair sitting in front of a large pile of equipment, listening carefully to Liu Yifei's singing in the soundproof room.
Through the soundproof glass, Yang Lin clearly saw Liu Yifei wearing a white striped T-shirt, wearing headphones, her body swaying to the rhythm, closing her eyes, and singing devotedly.
Yang Lin closed the door gently, didn't dare to make a sound, stood quietly aside, listened carefully to this song, and savored it carefully, Liu Yifei's singing skills have still improved, compared to when he recorded "Only I Feel for You" with him, it is much better, if it is according to the classification of the system, it should be at C, this relatively high amateur level.
Liu Yifei was originally an actor, but now she is just acting and singing, but the singing voice of ordinary actors does not dare to compliment. Their singing skills are not proportional to their acting skills, but they have plunged into the music world.
This song "Singing in the Trees" is a little less playful and lively in Liu Yifei's mouth, some are just calm to the bone, and what is not good is that there is no emotion.
This is caused by Liu Yifei's character, and Yang Lin has no choice for the time being. He looked at Liu's mother sitting on the sofa, she didn't look up, but kept playing with her mobile phone, thinking that she was also used to the environment of the recording studio.
Yang Lin couldn't see the sound engineer's expression clearly, but he didn't think it would be very relaxed and happy. While listening to Liu Yifei's songs, he listened to the original Guo Jing singing in the system in his head.
As soon as the two were compared, the gap immediately appeared. Guo Jing sings with a feeling of lightness, playfulness, and even a little sexy, but even if Liu Yifei wants to express it, she lacks a lot of heat.
At the end of the song, Liu Yifei opened her eyes, and she saw Yang Lin standing at the door of the recording studio, waving at her, smiled, and then waved her hand as well.
The recording engineer and Liu's mother were stunned for a while, and at the same time turned their heads to look at him. Liu Yifei took off her headphones, walked out of the soundproof room, and came to Yang Lin's side, "How long have you been here?" Why don't you remind me, you can come and sit. ”
Yang Lin patted his arm lightly, then revealed a trace of ruffianism, and said casually: "It didn't take long, you just came in halfway through the song." Seeing you sing so affectionately, I don't dare to disturb you. ”
Liu Yifei's face turned red, isn't this hurting herself in disguise? is still affectionate, Liu Yifei also shook her head after listening to the results of her singing, she can't sing well, but she still has appreciation.
"This is my recording engineer, a Xiaomi teacher specially invited from Huayan International." She dragged Yang Lin to the front of the recording engineer, Yang Lin looked at his pale face, as well as messy scum, some muddy but sometimes very sharp eyes, he thought about it in his heart, it is better for Ye Xiaojun, a more sassy recording engineer.
"Teacher Xiaomi, this is Yang Lin, he is the songwriter of this song, a very powerful original singer, he has written a lot of good songs." Liu Yifei didn't notice what tone she was using to introduce Yang Lin, for fear that others would not know his advantages.
Teacher Xiaomi smiled stiffly on his face, and then stretched out his hand and shook Yang Lin's hand, "I know you, a very good singer." It's very powerful, and it will definitely be able to become a big tool in the future. ”
It can be seen that this Xiaomi teacher is a person who is not good at words, and he lacks words to even praise others. However, Liu Yifei was overjoyed when she heard it, which was even happier than praising her.
"Ahem." After Liu Xiaoli saw Liu Yifei directly ignoring her, she couldn't help but cough twice deliberately to remind her. Yang Lin looked at the pouting with a smile on his face, looking reluctant, he turned around and said hello to Liu Xiaoli.
Liu Xiaoli now has a request for Yang Lin, so she naturally put away her face, and she kindly asked Yang Lin if she wanted to drink water and if she wanted to take a break. Be more kind and kind, if you haven't seen Liu Xiaoli's eyes on you, Yang Lin will still be confused by her appearance.
"No need, thank you, Auntie. Let's talk about this song, let's get down to business. Yang Lin saw that there was an empty chair next to Mr. Xiaomi, and sat down without pretentiousness, the smile on his face gradually converged, and asked the two seriously: "How long have you been recording this song?" ”
Xiaomi was about to speak, but Liu Yifei opened his mouth first, so he closed his mouth without embarrassment and listened to what Liu Yifei said. "It's the third day, but there's no progress at all, otherwise we wouldn't have asked you to come and see for us." She sighed, looking discouraged.
"In terms of singing skills, she can basically pass, but she is still far from emotional, and her skills are a little lacking." Teacher Xiaomi said Liu Yifei's question concisely, and then looked at Yang Lin, who was in deep thought.
Liu Yifei also dragged a chair and sat opposite them, while Liu Xiaoli crossed her waist and shook her head helplessly.
"I just listened to a part of you, and I really don't sing very well." Yang Lin touched his nose, not daring to look at Liu Yifei's eyes, afraid that she would look at him with eyes that could kill.
Liu Yifei's face turned white, and he was directly denied, and no one was uncomfortable, especially when it came out of Yang Lin's mouth.
"However, your skills should be corrected slowly, there is not much problem, the rhythm and melody of this song are very simple, you don't need much good singing skills, but your emotional injection is obviously not enough, although you sing very hard and hard, but you didn't find the right direction."
Saying this, Liu Yifei's face was a little better, she nodded, and asked, "Then what should I do?" Xiaomi also turned his head and looked at Yang Lin with expectation, hoping to get different meaningful insights.
Yang Lin dared to say this, he still had a bottom in his heart, no matter how he said it, he was exposed to a lot of knowledge in this area in the systematic singing training, although he didn't master it, but he knew a lot.
"First of all, this is a love song, a love song is a song after you meet love, if you really can't think of what love is, you just think about someone, treat him as your lover, slowly blend into it, and find a sense of substitution. The sense of substitution is the most important, and after having a sense of substitution, you will have a certain degree of appeal, and it is no longer empty. ”
Yang Lin took the score, pointed to the lyrics on it and said, "Do you understand the meaning of the lyrics a little?" Have you ever thought about the mood in which this was written? Do you understand what the lyrics are trying to say? ”
Three questions were thrown at Liu Yifei in a row, she nodded subconsciously, and then shook her head again. "I didn't think about it so deeply, I just understood the meaning of each sentence." She was a little embarrassed, she didn't know what the song meant.
Yang Lin smiled: "Imagine what it's like to stand on a big tree and sing?" Close your eyes and listen to my description. There is a breeze gently brushing your face, very light and soft, just like your mother's hand when you were a child, the long skirt on your body fluttering in the wind, do you feel it? What do the branches look like under your feet? Maybe it's a little rough, but you stand barefoot on it, with your hands open to welcome the sunset."
Following Yang Lin's words, Liu Yifei closed her eyes, raised her head slightly, opened her arms, and tried her best to imagine. Although Yang Lin's language is not beautiful, as if there is a kind of magic, Liu Yifei can easily understand his meaning.
