Chapter 10: Ghost Talent
Gu Chen, who is in good condition, made persistent efforts, and recorded three more songs during the lunch break, a total of four songs were recorded in one morning, and each one was kept improving, such efficiency made Zhao Huilian, who had been accompanying her in the control room, dumbfounded, she had been a music producer for so many years, she watched a lot of people who couldn't record a song in the morning, like Gu Chen, who recorded four songs in the morning, she saw it for the first time, and the state was too good, she suddenly found that 'genius' seemed to be insufficient to describe Gu Chen, maybe it should be called' 'Ghost Talent' is more appropriate.
"Okay, that's the end of the morning, eat when it's time to eat, rest when it's time to rest, and continue in the afternoon." After saying hello to Xiao Nan and the others, Zhao Huilian and Gu Chen walked out together, and said with a smile as they walked: "At your speed, the seven songs sung by you can be recorded in the afternoon, and it is the first time in so many years that I have seen someone record seven songs a day, and your record is estimated to be broken by others in another ten years." ”
"Hehe, I can only say that the state is too good." After a pause, Gu Chen shrugged his shoulders and added: "These songs are all written by me, how to interpret every syllable of the song, and how to grasp the emotional investment when singing, no one knows better than me, I think this is also a reason." ”
In fact, Gu Chen was also very shocked by his good state, all his recordings did not go out of tune in the whole morning, the reason why he re-recorded was because he felt that his singing skills or emotional expression were not perfect enough, and the stability of his state was enough to make people feel terrible. And he faintly felt that the more the recording went to the back, the more he got into the state, the more he did as he wanted, if it wasn't for the fact that everyone else needed to rest at noon, he couldn't wait to finish recording all the songs in one go.
Zhao Huilian nodded, didn't comment, at this time the two walked to the elevator entrance, the elevator door just opened, Gu Chen casually looked into the elevator, his expression couldn't help but be stunned, the person who came out of the elevator was a male singer he liked very much in his previous life, and he was also a superstar who would shine in the Chinese music scene in the future - Zhang Xueyou. Now Zhang Xueyou is still a young man in his early twenties, and he should have just joined Polygram not long after calculating the time.
Zhang Xueyou also saw Zhao Huilian and Gu Chen, and greeted Zhao Huilian very obediently: "Deputy Director Zhao is off work." ”
"It's Xueyou, what's the matter, you haven't gotten off work yet?" Zhao Huilian asked with a smile, in addition to various professional recording studios, there are also vocal training rooms and other functional rooms for singers on this floor, so he didn't feel surprised that Zhang Xueyou would appear here.
"I want to find Brother Nan for something." Brother Nan in Zhang Xueyou's mouth is the recording engineer Xiao Nan, whose full name is Luo Xuenan.
"Hmm." Zhao Huilian nodded lightly, remembering that Gu Chen was standing next to her, and hurriedly introduced: "Ah Chen, let me introduce you, this is Zhang Xueyou, who won the first amateur singing contest in the 18th district last year. The third album was released at the end of October, and it is a newcomer that the company is ready to celebrate. ”
"This is the company's newly signed singer Gu Chen."
"Hello, nice to meet you." Gu Chen stretched out his hand and shook Zhang Xueyou, this was the first familiar person he met after his rebirth in addition to his family, he was still very happy, and he admired Zhang Xueyou very much in his previous life, ranking second in the world in record sales is not something ordinary people can do.
"Nice to meet you." Zhang Xueyou was very keen to find the difference in the words used by Zhao Huilian when introducing the two, he used 'newcomer' when introducing him, and 'singer' when introducing Gu Chen, but he had never heard of a singer named Gu Chen in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and Gu Chen's age seemed younger than him, combined with these two points, it can be seen that this Gu Chen is a 'newcomer' like him, but Zhao Huilian used the word 'singer', which is very worth thinking about, and even his attitude towards Gu Chen is a little more cautious.
Gu Chen and Zhao Huilian came to a Chinese restaurant not far from the company to eat, and the two chatted while eating, chatting and chatting about Zhang Xueyou they had just met.
"I've heard a few of his songs, and the overall feeling is still very good, his voice is very distinctive, and he is indeed a newcomer worthy of praise."
"Xueyou is not only very talented in singing, but also very hard-working, which is also an important reason why the company praises him." After a pause, Zhao Huilian said with some hesitation: "I have a reluctant request here, I wonder if you can tailor a few songs for Xueyou?" ”
……
The words were divided into two ends, Zhang Xueyou went straight to the recording studio that Gu Chen used just now after breaking up with Gu Chen and Zhao Huilian, and happened to meet Luo Xuenan, who was leaving.
"Xueyou, let's go, talk as you go." Luo Xuenan turned around and closed the door of the recording studio and asked, "Aren't you busy with the promotion of the album, why do you have time to come to me?" Can I help you? ”
"I came to you for dinner today if I didn't have anything to do, my album can not achieve its current results without your credit, what do you want to eat at noon, although I said, it is my thank you."
"If you say that, then you're welcome."
“……”
When walking into the elevator, Zhang Xueyou remembered the Gu Chen he met just now, and couldn't help asking: "I met Deputy Director Zhao at the elevator door just now, and there is a young man named Gu Chen with her, it seems that Deputy Director Zhao seems to attach great importance to this Gu Chen." ”
"This matter has long been spread in the company, and you haven't heard of it when you're busy promoting the album all day long, this Gu Chen is a newcomer signed by the company, but he is different from ordinary newcomers, I heard that he first sold four songs to the company at a price of 200,000 yuan per song, and then signed a different contract with the company, the contract stipulates that the contract period is only one year, and in this year, the company will help him release at least two albums. Now the first album is already being recorded, and the ten songs on the album are all composed by himself, which is a rare classic. ”
"So, this Gu Chen is a very powerful singer-songwriter, isn't he?"
Luo Xuenan nodded first, then shook his head and said: "Not only that, his voice and grasp of songs and performance ability are much better than yours, and even in Hong Kong now, I can't find anyone who can surpass him for the time being, do you know how many songs he recorded in one morning?" ”
Zhang Xueyou was a little confused when she heard this, and subconsciously shook her head.
Luo Xuenan stretched out four fingers and exclaimed: "Four songs, he recorded four songs in one morning, if it weren't for excellence, he would have been able to record all seven songs sung by him solo in one morning, now do you know why Deputy Director Zhao attaches so much importance to him." ”
"I can say without exaggeration that as long as this album is launched, this Gu Chen will definitely become popular overnight, and with his creative ability, such a hit will never be a flash in the pan."
