Chapter Eighty-Eight: It's not good to speak ill of people behind your back
"Oh? Let's talk about it. Li Cheng glanced at Xu Ran's back again, and then pretended to be calm.
Xu Ran nodded and continued: "First of all, there is the issue of Li Zhienxi's voice. ”
"From the beginning of her debut to about 12 years, Li Zhienxi has always been synonymous with young and powerful female solo, and several title songs "Fan'er", "Good Day", and "You and Me" are all difficult works, and stable live is also a good reflection of her strength."
"But the more later, especially recently, I found that Lee Ji Eunxi's song style has changed a lot, whether it is the cover album "Flower Bookmark", or the latest official album "Palette", the hit tracks "My Old Story", "Night Letter", "Palette" and so on are either soothing or falsetto."
"Although I also heard that this is a change in his voice that Li Zhienxi is deliberately seeking, hoping that his timbre can be more suitable for the singing of lyrical songs, but there are gains and losses, and while seeking changes and breakthroughs, he may also lose something."
"What do you mean?"
Li Cheng looked at the door nervously again, and saw that the figure at the door just waved his hand and listened carefully, so it was not easy to interrupt, so he let Xu Ran continue.
"The reason for seeking change may be a breakthrough, but it may also be a regression of oneself. I compared it to the most difficult track on the "Palette" album, "This Ending", which couldn't be compared to the main track before 2012, let alone the high intensity of these difficult tracks at that time. ”
"But now? As far as I know, except for concerts, the famous 'Three Sections of High Notes' has basically stopped singing, and even if it does... I once stumbled upon Lee Ji-eunxi's concert in my home country, and the quality of the three-part treble was really much worse before. ”
"As for the decline in treble ability caused by the change of vocal position and mode because of the pursuit of timbre precipitation, or the style change sought in desperation because of the regression of singing skills, it is difficult to say the cause and effect relationship. But I think the causal relationship between the two is intriguing, isn't it? Lee is only 24 years old now, will he need to adjust his voice so early..."
Xu Ran made a summary, the meaning of which is self-evident - in his opinion, Li Zhien's singing skills have regressed, and switching to singing lyric songs is an opportunistic approach in desperation.
"The other thing is..."
Li Cheng rubbed his temples with a little headache, and hurriedly interrupted when he saw that Xu Ran still had the intention of continuing, for fear that he would not be shocked again.
"Okay, IU xi should have heard enough at the door, right? Is there something coming to me for something? Li Cheng waved helplessly behind Xu Ran.
"What?" Xu Ran's eyes widened, his body suddenly stiffened, and before he could turn his head, he heard a voice behind him that he was familiar with before.
"Inside, Minister Li, I have something to look for you."
Before I saw him, I heard her voice first, whether it was the sweet timbre in the past or the magnetic lyrical voice now, it was very different from the voice she spoke at this time.
Xu Ran slowly turned his head, and saw a petite and cute girl passing by, and when she passed by her, she glanced sideways at herself, and there seemed to be a smile in her eyes.
Lee Ji-eun.
It's over, now I must think I'm a black fan, is this expression a knife hidden in a smile?
Xu Ran's heart was half cold, although Li Zhien was not the leader of this company, his status was self-evident, and if he offended her, he could imagine what good fruits he would eat.
It's good now.,It's okay if there's no kissing encounter like an idol drama plot.,Why did it appear when I was choreographing her.,Is this teasing me? Xu Ran smiled bitterly.
Seeing Li Zhien's eyes, Li Zhengcheng was also like a mirror in his heart, watching others talk about himself in front of him for a long time, it is estimated that it is difficult not to care.
What's more, it's a trendy artist like Li Zhien, who has endless compliments around him.
"IU xi, just now you gave me a look and asked me not to interrupt him, now it's good, who knows that this kid is talking nonsense, don't be angry."
The old and refined Li Zheng shamelessly put all the responsibility on Xu Ran, and he left it all clean, as if it was the air man who had just asked Xu Ran to give his opinion.
Xu Ran was embarrassed to find a crack in the ground to get into, is there anything more embarrassing in the world than being caught red-handed by saying bad things about others behind his back.
It's not bad, even if it hadn't happened, I guess my reaction when I saw her would have been to look at her intently, right? Xu Ran didn't know what to say, so he stared at Li Zhien's small and cute face.
After all, she is the beautiful vision of all her youth...
A look of reminiscence appeared on Xu Ran's face, and he suddenly felt that everything around him was so unreal, he never thought that one day he would really be able to be so close to his Bai Yueguang.
It's just that I'm very powerful, and I touched someone's mold when we met for the first time, so I'm afraid I won't leave a good impression.
Li Zhien looked at Xu Ran, the meaning in his big eyes was a little playful, but he didn't say anything, but said directly to Li Zheng: "Minister Li, it's rare to be in the company, so I'll come over in person, isn't it disturbing?" ”
"No bother, no bother, what is IU xi here for?"
"Two things. The first is that I was invited to attend the VIP preview of "Young Police" next Monday, and I reported to the company on the itinerary. The second is the recording of the album, I don't think the company's progress is fast enough, it is better to finish the recording of the remaining songs recently, and then concentrate on the promotion and distribution of "Flower Bookmark 2". ”
"Oh, okay, IU Xi is right, I'll arrange for someone to take care of these two things later."
Xu Ran looked at the conversation between the two in a daze, which was completely different from the confused and cute image in his impression, Li Zhien, who was doing the right thing, actually gave him a sense of vigorous and resolute behavior, and this efficiency was reflected in this simple soft girl, which added a kind of contrast and cuteness.
Also, although she is only 24 years old, she has been debuting for nine years, and she should be familiar with these after so many years.
"Is this the plan?" Li Zhien sat on the chair in front of the desk, picked up the document that Xu Ran had just sent in front of him and read it.
Xu Ran quietly looked at Li Zhien, who was bowing his head and contemplating, his delicate skin was white with a slight stain of red, his curved eyebrows outlined his smooth and round forehead along with his soft and cute temperament, his watery eyes, ruddy lips, and of course, the most iconic little nose.
Looking at Li Zhien's appearance, which seemed to have been copied and pasted from eight or nine years ago, Xu Ran suddenly had an illusion, as if the past was just yesterday, and tomorrow, the gears of time will continue to turn, connecting the past tracks, and everything will continue.
"Minister Nim, if there is nothing to do, I will take my leave."
Although he still wanted to look at Li Zhien twice, after all, this might be the only chance to make contact, but Xu Ran still rationally wanted to choose to leave.
At present, it seems that even if he said that he liked Li Zhien before, people would not believe it, and staying here was just to dislike people.
"Okay, there you go." Li Zheng nodded.
"Wait."
Before he could reach the door, Li Zhien behind him suddenly shouted in a coquettish voice, and Xu Ran couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"It's bad enough to say bad things about people behind your back, and it's even more wrong to run away after saying that."
