Chapter 10: Gratitude to Zero
"Morning, Shaohan."
"Good morning, Mr. Lu."
Treasure Island, Fumao Records, singer training class.
Taking advantage of the holiday, Zhang Shaohan, who returned to Baodao from Canada to receive singer training, showed a sweet smile to the training teacher.
A year ago, she was an ordinary Chinese-Canadian student, and she was invited to participate in the finals on Treasure Island because she participated in the "Zhongguang Star Pop Competition" and won the first place in the Canadian division.
In the finals, he was favored by judge Lin Longxuan, signed a contract with him, and became his student, thus joining Fumao Records.
Because of the unfinished studies, Zhang Shaohan can only fly to Baodao as soon as he has time to receive singer-related training. With no income during the training, she had to work in a clothing store to support her living expenses.
The days went by like this, and she was used to it.
I thought that today was another normal day of theoretical theory in the morning, practicing singing in the afternoon, and doing odd jobs in the evening, but I never thought that as soon as she entered the company, she was called to the office by her real teacher Lin Longxuan-
"Teacher, are you looking for me?"
18-year-old Zhang Shaohan pushed open the office door, looked at the man sitting in the leather chair and didn't know what documents he was reading, and said curiously.
"Well, you came just in time. Recently, you don't need to practice singing for a while, and someone has sent me an invitation to help record the song.
"You can promise to come down, whether you can be hired or not in the end and get paid. If you are successfully selected, then Warner will be paid quite a lot, enough to support you for a long time without having to work. ”
"Someone asked me to record a song? Who is it? ”
Zhang Shaohan, who heard the words, suddenly became curious, and reached out to take the envelope handed over by the teacher.
She's not a singer who's ever released an album — no, to be exact, she's not even a singer right now.
"Warner's newcomer, a singer named Zhou Yi, is said to have written a song by himself, and he also named you......"
Zhou Yi ......?
Listening to the teacher's introduction, Zhang Shaohan, who opened the envelope, tried hard to recall whether there was a person named Zhou Yi among the people he had known recently, and the answer was no.
And when he heard that Zhou Yi was from the mainland, Zhang Shaohan's face became more and more strange.
Outback?
Could it be her mother's former relative in the mainland?
………………………………………………………………
"Relatives? Who is related to her? ”
Warner Records, lounge area outside the recording room.
gave the lyrics and music of "Happy Worship" to Li Sixiang, and after trying to sing it a few times, Zhou Yi, who was sitting in the rest area waiting for Zhang Shaohan to come over, couldn't help but turn his head in surprise.
Sun Yanzi, who had changed into a green T-shirt, sat in front of him on the left, holding a glass of warm water in his hand, and couldn't help but wonder when he heard the words: "Then why do you still ask that Miss Zhang to come over by name?" She's not a singer. ”
"I had a senior who had been to Canada, and I had a good relationship with him, and he showed me a video of the competition that he bought there. It's a singing competition, and the first place in the competition is that Zhang Shaohan.
"I know that she was told to me by the senior, and my senior loves to hear her sing."
Zhou Yi has long been accustomed to making friends out of nothing. What's more, no one can prove that what he said is false, at most it will be a coincidence.
After all, Zhang Shaohan did rise in Canada in this way.
As for how to know that Zhang Shaohan was on Fumao Records, it was even simpler, because Lin Longxuan, who expressed his willingness to accept her as a student in that game.
"Is that so, no wonder."
Sun Yanzi nodded knowingly.
At this moment, the Peking University signboard behind Zhou Yi made his statement very convincing, after all, it is normal for outstanding students of Peking University to go abroad these days.
Sun Yanzi, who also studied in a prestigious school in Singapore, easily understood everything.
However, when she thought of the two songs she sang with her junior brother last night, Sun Yanzi felt a little itchy in her heart.
Although her creative ability is not top-notch, her music appreciation ability is still online.
Whether it is "Have to Love" or "Happy Worship", she can see the excellence and appeal hidden behind the tune.
Moreover, if "Have to Love" is just a traditional sense of love and love, then the lyrics of the song "Happy Worship" are very suitable for this era that has just entered the new millennium.
As a singer, she will naturally be itchy when she encounters a good song.
But it's a pity that in the joyful duet last night, she has understood the inadequacy of her timbre in the song "Happy Worship" to be recorded today-
Not "sharp" enough.
As Zhou Yi said, the female part of this song has an extremely important coloring function, and it needs the kind of "sharp" voice that gives people a great sense of impact in a short time.
She can't do that.
Her timbre is also very distinctive, with a mixture of healing, fullness, softness, and high-pitchedness, supplemented by a unique articulation and singing voice to build a layered sense of story in her voice.
But it is precisely because of this that her treble timbre lacks a "sharpness" that can pierce the eardrums of others in an instant.
Especially when compared with Zhang Shaohan, a timbre rogue.
This is also the reason why after last night's happy duet, Zhou Yi finally chose to find Zhang Shaohan to sing "Happy Worship".
As for the song "I Have to Love", Sun Yanzi did have a unique flavor when she sang with him last night. But considering Zhang Shaohan's rogue timbre, he hasn't decided who he wants to go with for a while.
Let's finish recording "Happy Worship" first.
Sun Yanzi on the side was a little curious about Zhang Shaohan, who had never met in Zhou Yi's mouth.
About twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the lounge -
Zhang Shaohan, who came to the Warner Records building with the people of Fumao Records, stood at the door, blinking his big eyes and looking into the lounge, and his eyes fell on Zhou Yi in an instant.
Someone from the company showed him a photo provided by Warner, and it was this person who invited her to sing.
"Hello, my name is Zhang Shaohan, and I am eighteen years old this year."
Zhang Shaohan, who didn't know the identity of Sun Yanzi sitting on the side, simply regarded her as the leader of Warner, and put on a very low posture.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Yi. This is my senior sister, Sun Yanzi, who is here to help with the recording. ”
At first glance, Zhou Yi, who heard Zhang Shaohan's voice, could only secretly sigh in his heart, a sentence worthy of being a timbre hooligan, and his voice was really transparent.
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Mr. Zhou."
Zhang Shaohan, who clarified Sun Yanzi's identity, was clear, and then expressed his gratitude to Zhou Yi alone.
Her feelings were heartfelt.
Although I don't know why this man knew about it, this invitation did help her a lot.
There is no way, the family is poor, if she can really be selected, then the remuneration given by Warner is really enough for her to nourish for a while.
Zhang Shaohan, who secretly cheered himself up, was full of determination to win.
