He Zhili was also embarrassed, he took off his glasses and lowered his head to wipe them vigorously, trying to hide his expression in this way, and after a while, Luo Yang broke the embarrassing atmosphere.

"This ...... Manager He, the person who wants to release the record didn't come, because of work, I really can't leave, but I brought her tape, can you listen to it first? ”

Saying that, Luo Yang took out a box of audio tapes from his bag, this cassette was specially recorded by Luo Lin before he left Beijing, of course, Luo Lin didn't know Luo Yang's real plans at all, and thought that Luo Yang just asked him to record a song.

After taking the tape, He Zhili breathed a sigh of relief, got up and walked to the desk and brought a Sanyo tape recorder to the power supply.

As part of the person in charge of the Pacific Company, since he is engaged in this kind of work, the tape recorder is naturally a necessary equipment, although his tape recorder is not as good as the professional one, but there is no problem in listening to songs.

Press the button, the tape recorder pops out the tape compartment, glance at the mark on the tape tape, put the tape inside, then close the tape compartment and press the play button.

Soon, the tape began to spin, and a rustling sound came from the speakers.

He Zhili frowned slightly, the quality of this recording is too poor, it is estimated that it was recorded with an ordinary tape recorder, not only is it not professional equipment, but even the surrounding noise is not isolated during recording, so it will have such a bad effect.

Smoking a cigarette and listening quietly, the singing finally sounded after a while, and when the song sounded, the casual He Zhili was slightly stunned, and the hand holding the cigarette involuntarily stopped.

This is a female voice, although the recording quality of the tape is not good, but as a professional, He Zhili can still hear that the female voice singing has a certain professional foundation, her voice is pure with a touch of magnetism, and at the same time has a pleasant tact.

She sang a song that He Zhili had never heard before, and the background accompaniment was very simple, just an accordion accompaniment, but the lyrics of this song were very beautiful, and the song seemed to tell a story in his ears with a soft voice, and it seemed to show a faded picture in front of him like an old movie.......

I don't know how long it took, but the song gradually muffled and finally faded away, leaving only the rustling background sound in the tape recorder.

"Just one song?" He Zhili realized that the cigarette in his hand was almost burning to his fingers, and hurriedly threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray and asked.

"Yes, I recorded this one." Luo Yang nodded.

He Zhili didn't speak, pressed the stop button, then rewinded, and listened to it again, and after listening to it for the second time, He Zhili turned off the machine and took the tape out of the belt warehouse, took it in his hand and thought about it: "The singing is good, if I guess correctly, the female comrade who sang used to come out of the art troupe, right?" ”

"How do you know?" He Zhili's inquiry made Luo Yang stunned.

He Zhili laughed: "It's actually not difficult to guess, if it is a singer from a professional academy who has been trained to have a different breath and singing tone, the singing method of singers who have not undergone formal learning is also different, amateur singers often use real voice singing, and they rely on talent and habit to control their breath." But although this female comrade is not as good as the professional college, she has certain professional skills, and in some aspects has some amateur singing habits, and judging from her singing style, she should usually sing more high-pitched notes, although this song does not need any high-pitched voice, but she will unnaturally use high-pitched falsetto singing in some lyrics, from which it can be judged that this female comrade is very likely to be from the art troupe, because only semi-professional singers in the art troupe will have similar habits. ”

He Zhili's words made Luo Yang dumbfounded, although he didn't quite understand the content of He Zhili's words, but He Zhili could judge some of Luo Lin's situation from a song, which was enough to prove He Zhili's professionalism.

"You're right, she is indeed from the Art Troupe, and now she works in the Yanjing Song and Dance Troupe."

He Zhili smiled after hearing this, it seemed that he had guessed correctly.

"Manager He, do you think she can release audio tapes or records under such conditions?" Originally, Luo Yang was full of confidence when he came, but He Zhili's words just now made Luo Yang a little uneasy.

Luo Yang is not a professional, he only knows that Rowling sings well, at least in his opinion. Unexpectedly, He Zhili saw through Rowling's origin with just one song, and pointed out that Rowling had not gone through the study of a professional college, and to put it bluntly, it was a semi-professional level.

"Of course you can, although this lesbian's condition is not very good, it is not bad, and her voice is very good, and she ......." Speaking of this, He Zhili paused and asked curiously: "I want to ask the name of this song?" Who wrote it? ”

"This song is called 'When You're Old', adapted from a poem by the Irish poet Yeats, and a friend of mine specially arranged the lyrics and music for this lesbian." Luo Yang said, He Zhili recalled in his mind, he didn't know about Yeats, an Irish poet, but the beautiful lyrics and artistic conception of this song deeply attracted him, and made him interested in this poet he had never heard of for the first time.

Originally, He Zhili also planned to ask if the song would sell and if he could sell it to their company. But this idea was dispelled by He Zhili as soon as he started.

Luo Yang said very clearly, this song was written by his friend for this lesbian, and Luo Yang's intention to bring this cassette tape over is also obvious. If the other party is just an ordinary person, He Zhili is afraid that he will take down this song if he is stalked, but don't forget that the other party is not an ordinary person, this is specially greeted by the leaders and general managers of the above bureau, of course He Zhili can't do this.

"It's a good song, but the song is a little thinner, and I want to rearrange it if I can." He Zhili thought for a while and said.

"That's no problem, my friend also said something like this, it would be best if Manager He could help rearrange the music." Luo Yang nodded again and again, and then asked whether it was feasible to produce such a level of tapes or records.

He Zhili reacted to the matter at this time, and immediately smiled: "Although the professional level of this female comrade is still a little lacking, but the voice condition is good, and the song is full of emotions, I don't think it is a big problem for her to release the tape, but if she releases a record, you have to see the sales of the tape." ”

Luo Yang's face suddenly showed joy, this is enough! Originally, he didn't think about releasing a record or anything, this road has to be walked step by step, and the meal has to be eaten in one bite, and it has achieved his goal to release a tape for Rowling first, of course, it will be better to release the record directly in the future.

"But ......." Just when Luo Yang was happy, He Zhili hesitated and said: "It is a bit difficult to produce only one song, generally 10 songs on a cassette tape, and 12 songs if there are more." Now there's only one, and there are at least nine songs left, which makes it a bit more troublesome. ”

"This Manager He, in fact, there are already two songs!"

"Two? What about another song? ”

"There's another one that I haven't had time to record, but I promise it's a good song." Luo Yang hurriedly explained that he was also well-intentioned for his sister, so he deliberately had the cheekiness to find Song Yuanchao and get another song.

Speaking of which, Song Yuanchao was also very embarrassed at the time, he was not a singer, although he knew some music at best, he was an amateur.

In later life, I went to KTV with my colleagues a few times, and on weekdays, I would fiddle with the musical instrument at home and simply sing a few songs, and although he usually likes to listen to songs, there are old songs and new songs in the songs he listened to, plus Song Yuanchao's age and experience at that time, many of the songs he likes to listen to are old songs, although there are still a few songs and lyrics in his mind, but Song Yuanchao is not sure whether the songs he knows are in this era.

In addition, Song Yuanchao gave this "When You're Old" to Rowling, so she can't give her a completely different kind of song, right? For example, "The Most Dazzling National Style", "Little Apple" and the like, such a style of music is too out of bounds.

In his memory, Cai Qin's songs are very compatible, but Cai Qin became famous very early, and some songs may be available now, and Song Yuanchao is afraid that it will be impossible to take them out for fear of crashing.

After thinking about it for a long time, Song Yuanchao finally came up with a song that can match the genre of "When You're Old" and ensure that it won't crash, this song is "The Rest of My Life".

This song was created by singer Ma Liang in 2018, Song Yuanchao liked it very much after hearing it by coincidence, specially checked the composition and lyrics, and practiced it himself several times at home.

Although the original singer of this song is a male singer, it is also suitable for female singers to sing, and from this point of view, it is very suitable for Rowling to sing.

However, when Song Yuanchao gave this song to Luo Yang, it was close to a few days after he went to Shanghai, so although Luo Yang got the song, he didn't have time to let Luo Lin record it.

Now, He Zhili asked, Luo Yang roughly hummed a few words of the song, although he couldn't sing as well as Luo Lin, but it was no problem to sing a few tunes.

After listening, He Zhili was shocked, although he couldn't listen to the whole song, judging from a few simple lyrics and tunes, this is also a good song, and the style and content of this song are very compatible with the song "When You're Old" I heard just now, and two songs with similar styles will not look awkward in the same cassette.

"This ...... Mr. Luo, can you introduce your friend who writes songs? It's itchy in my heart, such a good song actually came from an unknown friend of Luo Yang, and He Zhili suddenly had the idea of befriending the other party. If you can get the other party to write a few more good songs, it will be extremely beneficial to the development of Pacific Company.

Pacific Company has been thinking about how to develop since its opening, and has been in contact with many famous singers for more than a year, and through these famous singers to release tapes and records, it has opened the wave of the domestic audio-visual industry.

The first cassette (tape) of the Pacific Company was a 1979 Zhu Fengbo solo song selection, and the cover was a bust photo of Zhu Fengbo wearing a blue flower dress, with the words "Roses Blooming Everywhere" and Zhu Fengbo's solo song selection.

This cassette can be said to be the first cassette (tape) officially sold in the Chinese mainland market after the reform and opening up, and it caused a great sensation in the market as soon as it was launched.

Immediately afterwards, Li Guyi's solo song selection also came out accordingly, the main song is "Why Are Flowers So Red", and then Hu Songhua, Luo Tianchan, Jiang Dawei and other famous singers' solo songs and Galaxy Quartet tapes have been launched, and in 1980, the above singers have successively released collections and solo tapes, among which "Voice of the Pacific" is the most famous.

These tapes not only sold well in the domestic market, but were also exported to Xiangjiang'ao Island and other regions, and were also very popular there.
