Chapter 9 Recording Singles
For his future life trajectory, Gu Chen already has a rough plan, and in the process of implementing this plan, there are countless opportunities waiting for him to grasp, in order not to make himself lose or even gain nothing due to lack of preparation when the opportunity comes, he must seize the time and try to accumulate strength. So after signing the contract and having lunch with Cao Hanmin and Zhao Huilian, before going to work in the afternoon, the three of them discussed the record in Cao Hanmin's office, and his request was very simple, that is, he hoped to start recording as soon as possible.
Cao Hanmin had no objection to this, in fact, the eagerness in his heart was not much worse than Gu Chen, and he immediately said: "This time to record Ah Chen, your album company will try its best to achieve excellence, the top music team, the top recording studio, the top recording engineer, all the top configuration." ”
After a deep groan, Cao Hanmin continued: "You see if this will work, start recording the morning after tomorrow, first select one of the ten songs in the album to record a single, and put it on the market first The company cooperates with the early publicity work, and when the preliminary publicity work is almost done, the album should also be produced, so that you can save a lot of publicity time, and you can also see the reaction of the market first." ”
This method is commonly used by record companies in later generations, and Gu Chen has no reason to oppose it. Then Cao Hanmin took the initiative to mention another matter, you must know that three of the ten songs on the album are male and female singing songs, as the creator and singer of the song, and the contract signed by the two parties is relatively special, Cao Hanmin can't help but ask Gu Chen's opinion, according to what he means, he wants to find one or two newcomers to be promoted by the company as the female lead, so that this female lead singer will inevitably become popular with Gu Chen's popularity after the release of the record.
This question, Gu Chen thought about it when he took out the three songs "Who Knows the Prodigal Heart", "Pieces of Maple Leaf Love", and "Seeing You Again, It's a Friend", and now that Cao Hanmin has raised it, he just let Cao Hanmin make up his own mind, because he didn't know many female singers signed by Polygram during this period, and he didn't like the few he knew very much, in this case, he might as well be generous.
……
When Gu Chen left Polygram Company, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and he was going to go home, but he suddenly remembered what he said at dinner last night, so he changed his mind and took a taxi to the real estate agency, and after talking for more than two hours, he finally found a single apartment in a community less than two kilometers away near Polygram Company.
But since the community is newly built, the environment inside and outside the apartment is very good, and all the appliances are new, and the transportation is also very convenient. What's more, according to the agency, due to its proximity to PolyGram, there are many Polygram employees and contracted singers living in the community.
Of course, such a good location, and a new real estate, the rent is not cheap, almost twice as much as other similar communities, but he just sold four songs to Polygram, and Gu Chen, who has a little money around him, doesn't care about this gain or loss, and the thing he cares about most now is his first record.
When he got home in the evening, at the dinner table, Gu Chen told him what happened in the company during the day and his plan to move out of Lu tomorrow to live by himself. The two elders were naturally happy about the success of their grandson's career, but they were reluctant to move out of their grandson's heart to live on their own, but Gu Chen's attitude was resolute, and the reason he said was also real, so the two elders had to remain silent, not agreeing or objecting.
As for Liu Huiyun, the mother and son said it as early as on the plane.
Gu Chen said helplessly: "Okay, grandparents, I promise to come back once a week, so it's okay." ”
Hearing this, Lin Lifang said with a little emotion: "Grandparents are not trying to hinder your career, but worried about you, you said that you are only nineteen years old and you have to work hard in society, and you live alone, can you take care of yourself, our Gu family can be your only seedling, what if something happens to you outside, if you can give us a great-grandson quickly, you want us to take care of us at that time." ”
The old man also followed: "That's the reason, Lao Zhang's grandson downstairs is only one year older than you, and his son will be born in two months, so happy that Lao Zhang's mouth can't close all day long." ”
Gu Chen rolled his eyes speechlessly, although his mental age was already in his forties, his current physical age was indeed only nineteen years old, and he would marry a wife and have children at the age of nineteen? It's too early. At the same time, he maintained strong doubts about whether the grandson of 'Lao Zhang' in the old man's mouth was only twenty years old.

How can you rest on the cold and warm
How many autumns to turn back
I searched all over but lost it
I don't hope for it, but I have it in hand
I get no
I can't explain the mistakes and omissions
As soon as I heard it, I changed it
I don't know where to pursue
What to ask for in a lifetime
Often judgment renounces and possession
Drain my life
If you can't touch it, you've run away
What to ask for in a lifetime
……
Often judgment renounces and possession
Drain my life
If you can't touch it, you've run away
What to ask for in a lifetime
You can never see through it in confusion
I didn't expect what I lost
It's all mine
……
After finishing the song, Gu Chen opened his eyes, and saw through the glass in front of him that the recording engineers Xiao Nan and Zhao Huilian in the control room both gave him a thumbs up, and couldn't help but smile on his face, this "What to Ask for in Life" is the song he chose to be released as a single, this is the third time, it only took three times to complete the recording of a song, and he is very satisfied with this efficiency and his state.
Walking into the control room, the recording engineer Xiao Nan replayed the recording, Gu Chenwei closed his eyes and listened carefully, and when the song was finished, he said with a smile: "It has basically met my requirements, that's it." ”
Recording engineer Xiao Nan said: "The meaning of this song "What to Ask for in Life" is very profound, it requires a lot of emotional investment when singing, and it is not easy for ordinary people to sing well, I didn't expect Chen Shao to be so young and can't help but write such a song, and it can be interpreted so perfectly, it is really ......"
As the recording engineer responsible for Gu Chen's recording, Xiao Nan has already seen all the songs on the album, and knows that Gu Chen will definitely be an instant hit, so although he is one of the few top recording engineers in Polygram, he doesn't dare to call Gu Chen like Cao Hanmin and Zhao Huilian in terms of title, after all, no matter how powerful a recording engineer is, he is only a recording engineer after all, just doing behind-the-scenes work, and his status can never be compared with popular singers.
