Chapter 9: The Troubles of Happiness
"I don't know who Director Liu is talking about?" Yu Anzhen couldn't help but ask curiously.
"You'll find out in a moment, and I promise it won't let you down." Director Liu Peng, who walked in front, sold Guan Zi again.
When Yu Anzhen was still guessing which excellent creator it was, the three of them had already arrived outside the recording studio.
Liu Peng held the doorknob, and before he could exert himself, he turned his head and instructed Yu Anzhen and Ye Fei: "Let's go directly to the recording studio in the middle and try to keep it quiet!" ”
Yu Anzhen and Ye Fei naturally knew the rules of the recording studio, and nodded one after another.
Pushing open the door of the recording studio, Liu Peng really saw Xiao Yuxuan who was busy, suppressed his curiosity, and did not disturb, Liu Peng directly led the two into the recording studio in the room.
The not-so-large recording studio came in again with three people, and it suddenly became crowded.
Zhou Xianjun naturally found out about the arrival of Liu Pengdai and others, and was still secretly wondering, "Who is this woman with big sunglasses covering half of her face?" When he saw this woman walk up to him in a few steps, took off her sunglasses, and bowed slightly:
"Hello, Mr. Zhou! I didn't expect to meet you here. ”
Yu Anzhen...... It's you! Hello! ”
"Yes, Teacher Zhou, I'm Yu Anzhen, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Huh...... It's been a long time, but I often see you on TV and in the newspapers, hehe......"
Liu Peng also came over at this time, looked at Zhou Xianjun and then at Yu Anzhen:
"Old Zhou, did you know each other before?"
Yu Anzhen explained with a smile: "Director Liu, I graduated from the Modu Conservatory of Music, and Mr. Zhou is our professional teacher, teaching us music history, but my grades at that time were not good. ”
Zhou Xianjun didn't interject on the side, and nodded with a slight smile.
"Oh, hehe, there's still this layer of relationship! I forgot to introduce, this is Miss Yu Anzhen Yu, you must all know each other, this is Miss Yu's assistant Ms. Ye Fei. The two here are our musicians Mr. Ma Kang and Mr. Fang Fuyun! ”
After a simple handshake and greetings, Liu Peng spoke:
"Don't stand, just sit down and talk...... I want to invite Miss Yu to perform the ending song "You Are the Wind, I am the Sand", it just so happens that your accompaniment has been recorded, can you let Miss Yu get familiar with it first, is it convenient Lao Zhou? ”
"It turned out that Yu Anzhen was invited to sing, no wonder you still sell it to me on the phone, what's inconvenient about this?"
"Teacher Zhou, several of you are my teachers and seniors, you can call me Xiaoyu or An Zhen." Yu Anzhen said generously.
"Then I'll call you An Zhen directly, the accompaniment of "You Are the Wind and I Am the Sand" has indeed been recorded, but I suggest that you can wait for Yu Xuan to finish his work and talk to him directly, there should be some gains." Zhou Xianjun suggested.
Yu Anzhen asked Liu Peng, "Yu Xuan? Is that Director Liu, the excellent creator you just mentioned? ”
Liu Peng pointed to the figure outside the soundproof glass: "Na, that is Xiao Yuxuan, you are your junior brother, and now you are a graduate student of the Modu Conservatory of Music, and your teacher Zhou is his mentor." ”
Yu Anzhen looked in the direction pointed by Liu Peng, and could only see one back, and the others could not be distinguished.
"Old Zhou, what did you just say on the phone?" Liu Peng opened his mouth to ask Zhou Xianjun, and raised his hand to look at his watch: "It's time for dinner, I'll be the east tonight, and the places are all booked, why don't we go over now and chat while eating?" ”
Zhou Xianjun was still distracted and paid attention to Xiao Yuxuan outside when he was chatting, and when he saw Xiao Yuxuan, he seemed to put another piece of manuscript paper next to him, and inferred from his previous experience, this means that Xiao Yuxuan has completed another song?
Zhou Xianjun didn't say anything, dropped the sentence "You sit first, I'll go out and take a look" and got up and walked out directly.
Ma Kang and Fang Fuyun glanced at each other when they saw this situation, and they both saw an incredible meaning in each other's eyes.
And Liu Peng, Yu Anzhen and Ye Fei, who had just come over, were confused, like monks who were second in arms - they couldn't figure their heads.
The eyes of several people followed Zhou Xianjun.
Soon, Zhou Xianjun returned to the house with a piece of paper in his hand.
"Old Zhou, what is this?" Liu Peng asked.
"Teacher Zhou, Xiao Yuxuan has completed another song?" Ma Kang was a little unsure.
……
Zhou Xianjun nodded and answered Ma Kang's question.
Then he handed the manuscript paper in his hand to Ma Kang, who was a little impatient, "Teacher Ma, you and Teacher Fang will look at this one instead, give it to me first!" ”
After collecting the other three manuscript papers, he handed them to Liu Peng: "Didn't you ask Yu Xuan to write a song for you?" You see if you're satisfied. ”
Liu Peng flipped through the three manuscript papers in his hand, and then looked at the one in Ma Kang's hand, in disbelief: "4 new songs? ”
Zhou Xianjun nodded in Liu Peng's incredulous question: "Hmm! ”
Then he added: "He was busy for more than two hours!" ”
Liu Peng looked at the familiar paper he printed out by himself, and patted his head: "No...... He, Xiao Yuxuan, won't think I mean to rewrite it all, right? ”
Zhou Xianjun was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't it?" What did you say to him you don't know? ”
"Where can it be......" Liu Peng couldn't laugh or cry, "It's also my fault!" I thought I'd wait for the ending song to finish and let him help write two more episodes.,I just wanted to save trouble and directly printed out the soundtrack request to the studio at that time.,Last night I gave him this just as a reference.,He was busy at the time.,So I didn't make it clear when I gave him this...... I was thinking of talking to him in detail today......"
Of course, Zhou Xianjun didn't expect this to happen.
"Don't talk about those who don't, since you wrote it, you can see if it suits your heart......"
This format of "front questions and back answers" looks very comfortable, because the idea and theme of the lyrics can be quickly grasped in the contrast between the front and back.
If you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods.
Liu Peng doesn't understand the simple score, just from the lyrics, after comparing it with the previous works provided by the studio, it is still easy to give a judgment.
Liu Peng had the urge to replace all the episodes and soundtracks.
However, he is now past the age of impulsiveness, and he is silently thinking in his heart: the matter of replacing all the things is not a joke, and the management is willing to spend money twice for the music part? That music studio is a regular collaborator, so this operation will definitely offend people, and we won't see each other in the future? Not only that, but a lot of editing work before meant that all of it had to be reworked, was there enough time?
Let's wait and see!
But these three songs are really more suitable, what should I do?
It's simply a blissful annoyance!
After Liu Peng finished reading one, he handed one to Yu Anzhen, "Anzhen, you are professional in songs, you can also take a look." ”
Yu Anzhen is naturally as good as a stream, and she also wants to know what kind of level the "excellent producer" in Director Liu Peng's mouth is.
took the paper handed over by Director Liu Peng and looked at it with curiosity.
As time passed, Xiao Yuxuan maintained the speed of writing a new song almost every half hour.
Zhou Xianjun got up and went out to get back the fifth piece of manuscript paper, followed by the sixth and seventh sheets......
Several people in the recording studio were in different moods, and director Liu Peng didn't mention eating in the east anymore.
From emotion to incredulity, to shock.
I've never eaten pork, I've always seen pigs run.
are all insiders, even if they haven't been in contact with it personally, they probably all know it, I haven't heard of anyone who can write songs as fast as drinking water, when did songwriting become so simple?
In the end, no one could still calm down and savor the tunes and lyrics on the manuscript paper, staring at the figure outside the soundproof glass.
It wasn't until Xiao Yuxuan put another piece of manuscript paper next to him, put down the pen and paper, propped his hands on the table, and rubbed his temples with his two thumbs repeatedly for a while, Zhou Xianjun pushed the door out again, and the others couldn't sit still, and their front and back feet went out.
-------------------------------------
Xiao Yuxuan turned his head with a spirit: Huh! When did so many people come?
Xiao Yuxuan got up and pushed away the chair, felt that his feet were a little numb, pulled down the hat of his sweatshirt, and found that in addition to the master Zhou Xianjun and Director Liu Peng, there were four men and women who didn't know each other, and they didn't take the initiative to say hello to the people they didn't know.
"Master, Teacher Liu, are you all here?"
Zhou Xianjun let out a "hmm", looked at the last sheet of "As Long as I Have You" in his hand, and didn't say much.
Yu Anzhen took a serious look at the "classmate Xiao Yuxuan" who had listened to it countless times this afternoon, she was twenty-two or three years old, her long hair was about to cover the small eyes, the nose was not big, and the mouth was not big, which was combined on a face that was not handsome; A black sweatshirt on top, dark jeans, and a pair of white sneakers - it's very common, the kind that will disappear in the heap.
Oh, and I seem to like to wear hats, and I still button up my sweatshirt and hat when I sit in the room, what's wrong?
He doesn't look like an "excellent creator"!
……
Director Liu Peng smiled and patted Xiao Yuxuan's shoulder: "Yuxuan, I've worked hard for you, I want all your 8 songs!" ”
Still struggling with the troubles of happiness just now?
As long as I am happy, I will forget my troubles first, and then I will talk about problems when there are problems!
"8 songs? There are two songs that are not! "A Cut of Plums" and "Plum Blossom Introduction" do not meet your requirements, Mr. Liu! There are also two soundtracks to be given to you later. ”
"Why don't you meet the requirements?" Liu Peng had forgotten that the song describing the reunion required a chorus or duet.
""A Cut of Plums" and "Plum Blossom Introduction" are not suitable for duet, so these two songs don't count."
The comments of a few people in the studio just now seem to be still echoing in their ears - "A Cut of Plums" and "Plum Blossom Introduction" can definitely become classics.
Liu Peng is not happy, professional people have commented that it is a classic, can he miss it?
"The requirement is to write it casually, it doesn't matter if you sing it or not, I want both of them!"
Xiao Yuxuan thought for a while, "Well, in this case, "One Cut Plum" is no problem, but "Plum Blossom Introduction" can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, and it has to be improved, and I don't have a good idea of how to improve it now......
At this time, Ma Kang couldn't help but interject: "No, I see that your song "Plum Blossom Introduction" is already very complete!" ”
Xiao Yuxuan looked at the "greasy uncle" in front of him, and replied seriously: "The lyrics and music are completed, but I want to add the narration part, but the content of the narration has not been thought through......"
Several people were looking at the manuscript paper in their hands when they heard this.
"The Manuscript Paper of Plum Blossom Citation" happened to be in Yu Anzhen's hand, because she liked the lyrics of this song very much, so she kept it in her hand and looked at it from time to time.
Yu Anzhen looked at the "Plum Blossom Introduction" in her hand again, and sure enough, compared to the other songs, this song has been modified the most, from the song title to the narration.
Yu Anzhen didn't speak, and directly handed the manuscript paper of "Plum Blossom Introduction" to Ma Kang.
Ma Kang read the narration carefully, and unconsciously read it: "Plum blossoms break people's intestines......"
"What do you mean by narration needs to be perfected?"
Xiao Yuxuan thought for a few seconds, there are many uncertain factors related to this song, and he doesn't want to ruin the classics, so he pondered and said: "The theme of the song is love and infatuation, and there are fewer words, all of which are added together with 8 sentences, I originally thought that the last 4 sentences would be repeated a total of 3 times, called three plum blossoms and three interrogations, and the narration part is to break people's intestines, two to think about it, and three to make a storm, but this is not quite in line with the plot; If it is replaced with that half of the words, the narration is too long not to say, and the theme of the words is separation, which does not match the plot, so forget about this "Plum Blossom Introduction"! ”
At the same time as Xiao Yuxuan explained, several people passed the song back and forth and watched it, and they were speechless.
Just give up a song because of the narrator? It's too far-fetched!
Should I praise the pursuit of excellence, or should I scold the damn obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Fang Fuyun, who has never spoken much, spoke: "The quality of the song does not depend on the number of words, how many people can write the sentence 'ask what is the situation in the world, and teach life and death to make a promise'?" What's more, you've only written 8 songs after a while......"
Several people were a little surprised: yes! I watched them one by one just now, and I was busy discussing the lyrics and songs, and I didn't think about it, but now that I think about it, it's only a little while, and I wrote a whole 8 songs, and on average, it only took about half an hour for each song......
And it seems as if the quality of each song is good......
He, Xiao Yuxuan, is a monster!
......
Xiao Yuxuan was also alert when he heard this: he didn't think much about it, it seemed to ...... It's a bit excessive, isn't it?!
In the future, you must pay attention not to make some common sense mistakes!
"Uh...... Actually, it's not all written just now, there are a few songs that I had ideas before, but I just completed them...... It just happened to be ......"
"Yu Xuan, I found that you have a lot of ideas! I also said that I also have an idea for the soundtrack. Liu Peng patted Xiao Yuxuan again, "However, this is a good thing, just like your master said, it seems that you were born to eat this bowl of rice." ”
Xiao Yuxuan touched the back of his head and smiled.
