China Entertainment: I really don’t want to live with the queen

Chapter 12 Wifes, here I come~
For the first album, Xu Chen selected twelve songs.

among them.

The most difficult recording was "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scale".

Wang Leehong's song composition has always been his strong point, but his lyrics are slightly weaker. The lyricist of "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scale" is Fang Wensan.

Fang Wensan's lyrics are of the "imagery style" and are characterized by being good at "metaphorism" and presenting a strong sense of imagery.

The style of the entire song is a mix of POP and R&B, and traditional Chinese drums and flutes are chosen as instruments.Guzheng...

If you want to reproduce it perfectly, no matter the singing skills, musical instruments, or state, you have to have a hard time.

The most difficult song to sing is "Serve the Country with Loyalty".

There's nothing much to say about this song. It's easy to cover, but easy to learn and difficult to master. Only Tu Honggang can truly sing the tragic and majestic atmosphere and majestic momentum in the lyrics.

There is also a song "Farewell My Concubine" in the album, which is based on pop music and combined with the singing style of Peking Opera "Hua Lian", which combines hardness and softness, and is suitable for movement and stillness...

As soon as this song came out, no one said: "Tu Honggang is just a singer of gentle love songs. He knows how to sing like a shit~"

Xu Chen chose "Serve the Country with Loyalty" because of three considerations.

1. With the return of the Pearl, the Chinese people have an unprecedented strong sense of national honor. The song "Serve the Country with Loyalty" just caters to the national enthusiasm that the Chinese people are eager to vent.

2. "Loyalty to the Country" was one of the top ten hits in 1999, but it was only two years behind. The popular style is similar. The chance of continuing to be popular in 1997 is very high. If the effect is good, continue to play "Farewell My Concubine" and let "Tu Honggang" Become a "communist".

3. Xu Chen needs a song to establish his character as a "patriotic singer". It is best to become a role model for young mainland singers. This will only benefit his development, not harm. If he can appear on the Spring Festival Gala, that would be great.

The possibility is very high. After all, it is the return of Mingzhu, and these songs are so "just in time".

just.

Tu Honggang's version of "Serving the Country with Loyalty" was so well sung, depicting the sadness, anger and desolation of an old general on the battlefield with unfulfilled ambitions.

Xu Chen did not consider continuing Tu Honggang's style.

If Tu Honggang is the "Yue Fei" of the Song Dynasty.

Then.

Xu Chen is like Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty, with strong ambition and youthful loyalty, singing the "Golden Arms and Iron Horse" of a young general in a great country.

finally.

Xu Chen decided to record "Jade Belt Bridge" as his first song.

"Recording songs" means clearing the boss. "Jade Belt Bridge" is the least difficult, and folk songs require the least singing skills.

and.

The guitar, the morinouqur, and the big drum are just the "finishing touch" in the melody. To put it bluntly, the presence or absence of these two instruments does not delay the song's emotional expression.

"No, Brother Zhang, have you made a mistake? Who is this Xu Chen? Why are they all him?" The freckled girl stared at the paper, suspecting that she had read it wrong, and rubbed her eyes. It was true.

His eyebrows sank, his face looked unhappy, and he asked softly: "Brother Zhang, you know the rules. Except for the musicians signed in our studio, you can't find anyone from outside."

"Xiao Chen, this Xu Chen is not an outsider, it's him." Zhang Yatong pointed at Xu Chen and shrugged: "I understand the rules in the studio, but the recorder knows it himself, so he won't bother outsiders."

"What, how is it possible that he can do so many things himself?"

Xiao Chen blurted out, staring at Xu Chen closely. In his eyes, Xu Chen was wearing a white sweater, the collar of his hat was turned out, and his jeans were washed white. He immediately understood that he was a master of everything, but he was poor.

It was all business and there was no smile at all: "Brother Zhang, that's all. The teacher will be here in a minute."

…………

"Lao Zhang, why is this girl like this?" Huang Bo looked back and saw that the girl was sleeping on the counter. She didn't say she was at work, she thought she was on vacation.

"Xiao Chen is actually a nice guy, but he is snobbish. Old Xu has cut off his money." Zhang Yatong turned to look at Xu Chen. Xu Chen smiled faintly and joked: "The singer went to the recording studio to introduce the musicians. In the studio Taking a commission from it, Lao Xu did it all by himself, so no one else can earn a penny."

Xu Chen smiled and said: "I call it riding on the bar. You should save money and spend money."

The Deep Flowers Recording Studio lives up to its reputation.

There are many recording studios scattered along the long corridor. The studio is very quiet and there are many photos of celebrities on the wall.Xu Chen noticed that the photos of celebrities were all arranged according to their status, and they all said that people in the industry were ranked based on their seniority. Unexpectedly, a small recording studio was like a small world.

At the end of the corridor, open the door.

There are one large suite and one small suite, with recording equipment outside and music equipment inside.

Guitar, bass drum, piano, morin fiddle...

Everything is available.

"Old Xu, this recording studio is used by the princess alone. There is no time limit. You can record as long as you want." Zhang Yatong turned on the switch, the lights were bright, and the instrument exuded a metallic texture, making it look high-end.

Grandma Huang Bo and Liu entered the Grand View Garden. All his life, he wanted to enter a recording studio. He had never had the opportunity before.

I looked around everywhere, touching the guitar and the piano, and asked: "Lao Zhang, do other recording studios have time limits? If you rush out before finishing recording, the store is bullying customers!"

"More than just leaving in a hurry, last time a little singer came in to record because of connections. In the middle of the recording, a big shot in the circle came. The little singer didn't dare to say a word and just left the recording studio." Zhang Yatong mocked: " The Qing Dynasty has been dead for 100 years, and these people still think that they are the royal family members. Lao Xu, you said that the Chinese music scene will die if it does not change. I think these royal family members should have died long ago..."

Zhang Yatong cursed twice angrily and said, "Lao Xu, you don't have a company at the moment. If you want to get ahead, you have to strive for excellence in your album. Are you really not considering hiring professionals?"

Zhang Yatong was a little worried that Xu Chen would suffer setbacks. His first album failed and he was unable to recover. From then on, he complained about everything but others and failed to recognize his talents.

There are too many such people in Beiping City.

China is currently not called the entertainment circle, but the "literary circle", or perhaps the "Beijing circle."

Who are the people in the "Beijing circle", the elders from the courtyard, the Manchu elders...

Lao Zhang was full of resentment, Xu Chen could understand. He had been drifting north for several years. If he hadn't hooked up with Dou Wei, Zhang Yatong would be sleeping in the basement.

"Lao Zhang, I'll try it first. If it doesn't work, I'll hire someone."

…………

Not for a while.

The recording teacher came, his surname was Tang, and he introduced himself as a recording student from Nortel who graduated in 86.

This is the boss.

Xu Chen was a little surprised. Xiao Chen at the front desk accompanied him in. This girl came in without saying a word, her buttocks next to the stool, and she looked at Xu Chen.

Xu Chen smiled and nodded in greeting. The girl hummed in her nose and lowered her head to look at the instrument.

Xu Chen couldn't help laughing. Although the girl was a snobbery, she was an "innocent and romantic" snobbery. Although she was annoying, she was not disgusting.

Several people discussed it.

The melody of "Jade Belt Bridge" is mainly guitar, morinouqin, waist drum...

Teacher Tang looked at the score, his eyes lit up, and he nodded and said: "This piece is a bit interesting. Last time Gao Xiaosong came over to record "You at the Same Desk". This score has the same style as "You at the Same Desk", but it is much more refined. ."

"They're all the same way, folk songs."

Xu Chen walked into the recording studio.

He is no stranger to the recording studio, and returning to the studio is like going home.

The "instrument" is his sweetheart, the eldest wife is the guitar, the second wife is the bass...

Matouqin is the third wife.Although Xu Chen rarely played with the Three Wives, he was very familiar with the structure of the Three Wives. He held the head of the Morin Flute with one hand and slapped the buttocks of the Morin Flute. The Morin Flute let out a melodious whimper~

Recording instrument room.

Lao Tang was preparing for the preliminary work. He paused and joked: "Zhang Yatong, you found this kid because he thought he was visiting a brothel."

"Lao Xu really hasn't changed his true nature as a hero!" Huang Bo crossed his arms.

Zhang Yatong couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Old Xu is really good-natured. No wonder he and the princess hit it off immediately. The princess rarely lets other people in. Let's see the recording effect."

Xiao Chen's cheeks turned red and he looked like a gangster.

Shooting musical instruments is like shooting a woman's butt. As expected, those who make music are all crazy.
