Chapter 293 Album
Ning Hao wanted to drag Jiang Changsheng along for the publicity campaign, but he refused.

He returned to work, still assisting Shu Chang in making albums during the day, and editing War and Love at night.

By July 7th, Shu Chang's album recording was completed, and she left Yanjing reluctantly. She has a lot of work to do next. Du Hanwei accepted some endorsements and commercial performances for her, and the follow-up album will also be promoted in advance. Propaganda work for Magic Mobile.

After the production of Shu Chang's album was completed, Jiang Changsheng came to the Yanjing branch of Yinhuang alone.

He has already written the song for Zhou Huimin, so I stopped by to see how the quality of Big Sister's new album is.

Walking into Yinhuang Xingyi Company, I didn't expect the company to be very lively, with many people coming and going.

Jiang Changsheng was a little surprised. Yinhuang's branch company in Yanjing is called Yinhuang Xingyi (Yanjing) Cultural Development Co., Ltd., which is mainly responsible for the various performances of Yinhuang's Hong Kong artists on the mainland, as well as the music industry. Investment in film and television under special circumstances in the Royal Department.

Therefore, the company's office space is not large, and the staff is not too large.

It was because Zhou Huimin insisted on recording the album in Yanjing, and considering that other singers of Yinhuang would also be active in Yanjing in the future, Yinhuang set up a small recording studio in Yanjing for convenience.

There are so many people in the branch office today, it seems that they are going to do some activities.

When Jiang Changsheng entered the company, a beautiful woman in her 30s came over. It was Yinhuang's gold medal manager, Huo Wenxi, Yinhuang's artist director and president of Yanjing Branch.

This is also an actress and model debut, so she looks very beautiful, she is a workaholic, it is rumored that she works more than 16 hours a day, and she is extremely energetic.

Therefore, she has a very obvious aura of a strong woman, fierce and valiant, with a beautiful and generous face, like a rose with thorns.

Jiang Changsheng has met several strong women in the entertainment industry. Cai Yinong is a woman who hides her needles and uses love to seduce others. Li Wei has a clear goal and strong execution ability. Huo Wenxi is shrewd and capable, and her words and actions are almost unnecessary.

She shook hands with Jiang Changsheng, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry Mr. Jiang, Mr. Yang has something to fly to Great Britain, and he's not at the company today, so he specially asked me to come and receive you.

The company is preparing for a concert performance, so it is a bit noisy, please forgive me.

Vivian is in the recording studio, you follow me. "

Only then did Jiang Changsheng remember what Zhou Huimin said two days ago, and he casually asked as he walked, "Is it Twins' "Next Stop Diva" concert in Yanjing?"

Huo Wenxi nodded: "Yes, the concert starts next week, Mr. Jiang, do you need tickets?"

"Need not."

The two walked in, and three little fresh meats walked towards them. They looked handsome, but they were not perfect.

When the three saw Huo Wenxi, they immediately bowed and nodded: "Mr. Huo!"

Huo Wenxi nodded, noticing that Jiang Changsheng was looking at the three of them, she introduced: "They are the male music group launched by Yinhuang this year, called Sun Boy'z.

The predecessor of the combination was Boy'z.

This is Zhang Zhiheng, one of the original Boy'z members, this is Mak Tsz Howe, and this is Chen Weiting. "

The reason why Jiang Changsheng took a second look was because Chen Weiting, this is a relatively well-known male star of the new generation on Hong Kong Island after Mr. Chen's photo.

The three greeted Jiang Changsheng respectfully, and Jiang Changsheng responded a few words in a friendly manner.

Just as they were about to move forward, two more female singers came out of a room. When they saw Huo Wenxi and Jiang Changsheng, they also came over to say hello.

Huo Wenxi gave a more detailed introduction this time: "Her name is Yong'er, her original name is Chen Jiaxin, and she is the best newcomer of this year's top ten golden songs."

Seeing Yong'er's appearance, Jiang Changsheng asked directly, "Are you imitating Li Yuchun, and you want to take a neutral path?"

Since Li Yuchun became popular last year, the market has discovered the potential of neutral artists, and many entertainment companies have begun to work in this area.

Especially this year's Super Girls, Shang Wenjie, Xu Fei, He Jie and others all wear Li Yuchun's Shamat short hair last year, and their styles are also neutral.

Sound Emperor should also follow suit.

Huo Wenxi didn't deny it, she nodded, and said, "Yes, Yong'er is taking a neutral path, but her singing skills are better than Li Yuchun's, and she is a newcomer singer that we are now admiring."

Singing skills may not make you popular, Jiang Changsheng didn't say anything, Huo Wenxi introduced another female singer: "This is Zheng Qianyi, you can teach her Ayi or Xiaoyi.

He is a very mature and talented singer.”

Hearing Huo Wenxi's description, Jiang Changsheng smiled.

With Huo Wenxi's status, Jiang Changsheng certainly understood the meaning behind such a compliment to a little-known singer.

This should be Yang Shoucheng's little lover.

He smiled and said, "The abbreviation of your name is interesting. Auntie and Auntie belong to a very senior family."

Zheng Qianyi immediately said, "You can call me Xiao Zheng."

Mandarin is very standard, and he is willing to call himself Xiao Zheng. Jiang Changsheng guessed that this Zheng Qianwen should be a mainlander.

One thing to say, this woman is still very beautiful, with good looks and figure, no wonder Yang Shoucheng has taken a fancy to her.

Huo Wenxi said tactfully: "Go ahead and do your work first. I'll take Mr. Jiang to find Vivienne."

Then he said to Jiang Changsheng: "Sun Boy'z, Yonger and Ah Yi are all guests at the Twins concert, and the company let them go on stage to increase their popularity.

Vivienne will also participate. She is a big name to help out and help Twins stand on the platform. "

Jiang Changsheng nodded, no one disturbed him this time, and the two arrived at the recording studio smoothly.

Compared with the super-large recording studio of independent records, the recording studio of Yinhuang is a bit small, with an area of ​​only about 20 square meters and relatively ordinary equipment.

But somehow it works.

At this time, there were already 5 people in the recording room, including producers Lei Songde, Guo Weiliang and the twins group.

Zhou Huimin is recording a song with earphones and eyes closed, a nostalgic Cantonese song.

Jiang Changsheng waved his hand to signal everyone not to disturb, and then quietly stood aside and listened to the song.

After singing the song, Zhou Huimin opened her eyes and saw Jiang Changsheng coming, a happy smile bloomed on her beautiful face.

After taking off the earphones, Zhou Huimin trotted into Jiang Changsheng's arms.

Jiang Changsheng hugged the fragrant and soft eldest sister, kissed her on the cheek, and asked, "How is the progress of the album recording?"

Zhou Huimin didn't care about other people's eyes at all, she couldn't get up in Jiang Changsheng's arms, she said softly: "I have recorded 10 songs, almost.

I just called this song Falling Flowers and Flowing Water, what do you think? "

Jiang Changsheng nodded: "It sounds good, the quality of this song is very good, I feel that my own songs are a bit redundant, and you don't need my help for your new album."

Falling Flowers and Flowing Water is a song sung by Chen Yixun in his previous life. It is a beautiful Cantonese song. The composer of this song is Guo Weiliang, and the lyrics are written by Huang Weiwen. They are all the production team of Zhou Huimin's album.

Naturally, this song has nothing to do with Chen Yixun.

Hearing what Jiang Changsheng said, producers Lei Songde and Guo Weiliang were very proud, and they were very happy to be recognized by Jiang Changsheng.

Reluctantly, Zhou Huimin stood up straight, took Jiang Changsheng's arm, and said, "I don't want to trouble you either, I think you've been busy with work lately."

Jiang Changsheng shook his head, and said: "You still have this personality, if you need to mention it to me directly, don't be polite.

We are close comrades-in-arms. "

Zhou Huimin's personality is like this, he is easy to think about others, not free and easy.

Jiang Changsheng continued: "Sing a few words to the other songs in the album, and I'll listen to it."

Zhou Huimin nodded, walked to the recording area, and began to sing, singing the main and chorus of each song only once.

There are 11 songs in total, 7 in Mandarin and 4 in Cantonese. After Jiang Changsheng listened to them, he felt that the quality was not bad. There were a few songs that he had heard before. They were not particularly popular, but they were all of good quality.

In fact, according to the practice of Yinhuang and Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong island singers generally release a Cantonese album first, and then write Mandarin lyrics for the popular Cantonese songs in the album, and then release a Mandarin album.

It's just that Jiang Changsheng's previous album "Wei Wei" for Zhou Huimin is a mixture of Mandarin and Cantonese, and the sales and reputation are very explosive, breaking this convention.

In addition, Jiang Changsheng's subsequent albums were also mixed in this way, so the album produced by Yinhuang for Zhou Huimin is also a mixture of Mandarin and Cantonese.

After listening to all the songs in the album, Jiang Changsheng said: "The title song I wrote for you is a Cantonese song called Xitie Street. I also wrote a Mandarin song for you. In my singing, you can be the second song." main."

Wedding Post Street is the famous song of Xie Anqi in her previous life, and the composer is Guo Weiliang in front of her. This song has won many golden music awards, and it is a very popular Cantonese song.

Many people on Hong Kong Island think that the lyrics of the song Xitie Street are Huang Weiwen's pinnacle work.

Because for people on Hong Kong Island, Wedding Invitation Street represents the collective memory and good times of the old days.

Wedding Invitation Street was originally an old street in Hong Kong Island. It gradually became known in the 80s. At that time, most couples who held weddings in Hong Kong Island would go to Wedding Invitation Street to buy wedding supplies.

Most of the buildings on this street are tenement buildings from the 20s to the 50s, which are neatly arranged and have traditional characteristics.

In early 2004, Hong Kong Island redeveloped Wedding Invitation Street.

The wedding invitation street, which used to be red and gold, is no match for the swallowing of the giant wheel of the times, and has become a series of high-rise buildings without characteristics.

The characteristics of Wedding Invitation Street disappeared.

This song describes the demise of Wedding Invitation Street.

Jiang Changsheng looked at the crude recording studio, not even a piano, but luckily he was prepared.

He took out a CD, handed it to Guo Weiliang, and said: "I have finished the arrangement of the two songs, you can play the song of Wedding Post Street first.

I will teach Vivian first. "

Jiang Changsheng took out the dictionary score of Wedding Invitation Street, and taught Zhou Huimin sentence by sentence.

Zhou Huimin is a professional singer with both singing skills and musicality, so he learned this song in a short while.

She savored the lyrics carefully, looked at Jiang Changsheng, hesitated to speak.

Jiang Changsheng looked at her and asked, "What's the matter, you don't like this song?"

Zhou Huimin said in a low voice: "Ni Zhen and I have completely broken off, and we have lost our relationship for a long time. This song of yours is not about my relationship with him before.

He did ask me to get back together later, but I always refused, and I have never been alone with him again. "

Jiang Changsheng laughed heartily, and said heartily: "Am I so magnanimous?

The song Xitie Street is about love on the surface, but actually it is about the disappearance of the old city and the changes of the times.

Go sing it first, and I'll help you adjust your feelings. "
