Entertaining Children

   Chapter 312

What Xiao Yao said, Xiao Siqi also thought of Xiao Yao’s first original album of the same name released last year. It includes rock, folk, lyric, pop dance, rap, and opera accents. The language is also both Chinese and English. An album with a messy style.

"Speaking of which, we are not far from this year's "Golden Disc" award ceremony. Whether it is based on sales or the popularity of the song, Bayi's album will be a candidate for this year's "Golden Disc" award. Which category will the judges of the Music Association put the Bayi album into?" Xiao Siqi thought a little distracted.

  In order to prove that his words are average, Xiao Yao went on to say: "I am going to release another string version of this song."

  Speaking, Xiao Yao looked at Gong Chen and said, "I still want to find you to sing. After the show is over, you can help me record a string version of this song when you see when you are free."

   "Okay, of course there is no problem." Gong Chen nodded immediately, "I can't ask for it."

"Why do you have to re-record the string version? Can you just add the strings directly to the electronic version?" Xiao Siqi looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Remember that you helped the "Chenxi" dance group come to the studio to apply for the job. Isn’t the soundtrack made by that dance? Isn’t that "BoutIt" a tune that puts strings and electronic music together? At that time, you were looking for Duoer to help you play the violin for that tune that was still big at night. Although. The style of that song is not the same as this song, but the effect of putting string and electronic music together should also be great."

   "Yes!" Xiao Yao patted his forehead. When listening to "Faded" in the previous life, Xiao Yao listened most to the electronic version without strings. He occasionally heard the string version of this song and found it to be very good, but he never thought of combining strings with Put electronic sounds together. In fact, when Alan Walker performed live, he also performed string and electronic music together, and the effect was also very good. Xiao Yao had only watched the video of that performance a few times. If Xiao Siqi hadn't mentioned it now, Xiao Yao hadn't remembered it for a while.

"Um...the soundtrack needs to be revised." Xiao Yao nodded, "I have to add string music to the live version of Gong Chen's show, but for the studio version, I still want to record electronic and string music. Two separate different versions. But the studio version is not in a hurry, wait until the end of the show, and get the soundtrack needed for the live version first."

As he said, Xiao Yao looked at Gong Chen and said, "Gong Chen, please also tell Teacher Wan Peiling, you will bring a few string musicians with you. I think about it... probably four violinists. With a cellist, let her prepare in advance."

   "Well, yes, I will call and talk to Teacher Peiling after I go home at night." Gong Chen nodded and agreed.

   "Ah~" Xiao Yao suddenly scratched his hair in pain.

   "What are you doing? Are you crazy? Why are you crazy?" Xiao Yao's sudden behavior startled the three of them, and Ye Jiaying said a little dissatisfied and a little worried.

   "I'm going to slap myself in the face!" Xiao Yao said depressed.

   "What's the matter? Why did you slap yourself in the face?" Xiao Siqi asked curiously.

"I want to take time off to go to Yangcheng. I want to be the live DJ of Gong Chen performing this song." Xiao Yao said bitterly. "But when I left the Shazhou teacher team, I told the two captains that I wanted to go to school and didn't want to take time off. I just left. And Nie Song also said this on the show as the reason for my absence. It would be embarrassing for me to go back with a shy face now!"

   "Haha, deserve it!" Xiao Siqi laughed unscrupulously, "Let you pretend to be!"

"I have not asked for leave for three years since I was in high school. I really want to keep this record." Xiao Yao defended, "I even used my own album and MV to record last year. On weekends, I really didn’t want to take time off to continue participating in this program. Before I went, I told Teacher Shazhou that I would only participate in one session."

   "We can't help with this matter. If you say it, you will bear the consequences." Ye Jiaying also smiled, "But if you want me to say, hit the face, just hit yourself. Anyway, you hit yourself."

   "Yes, for the sake of music, it's just to exercise the thickness of your skin." Xiao Siqi also continued.

When Gong Chen heard the words, he looked at Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying in surprise.

   "Did you have your parents doing this?" Xiao Yao reluctantly rolled his eyes at the two of them.

"That... I also hope you can appear on the stage." Gong Chen thought for a while and said, "Actually, if you are there, I have more confidence. If you go to the scene and need me to do something. , Even if you tell me, I will do my best to help."

   "There is nothing to do except slap your face." Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "Forget it, no matter what, let's make the soundtrack first."

   "It's too late today, it's not easy to find someone at this time." Xiao Yao said again, "Dad, please help me contact a few violinists and a cellist tomorrow."

   "No problem, I will find everyone for you tomorrow morning." Xiao Siqi nodded in agreement.

   "Gong Chen, how are you familiar with your lyrics and music? How about you go first and try to sing? Anyway, the current version of the accompaniment and soundtrack is also a full version, which is enough." Xiao Yao looked at Gong Chen and said.

   "Okay, I'll try it." Gong Chen said eagerly. After speaking, he took the lyrics and music and went to the recording room beside a glass window.

  Xiao Yao plugged in the monitor earphones and put them on again, while Xiao Siqi plugged in another monitor earphone by himself, and joined Ye Jiaying alone with one earphone and covered his ears.

  Although the first audition inevitably had many problems, the feeling that Xiao Yao wanted basically came out. Xiao Yao was also quite satisfied with Gong Chen's first singing performance.

  As for Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying on one side, they already felt that this song was great when they listened to the accompaniment just now. Now that they listened to the ethereal and psychedelic voice of Gong Chen into the whole song, their ears fell suddenly.

   "This Gong Chen's voice is so good, it is a perfect match for this song." Ye Jiaying couldn't help but praised after Gong Chen's audition.

   "If it weren't for her voice, how would I be willing to take out my favorite song in my previous life." Xiao Yao said in his heart.

  Gong Chen on the other side of the glass made a gesture, Xiao Yao signaled that it was okay, and greeted Gong Chen to come back.

   "The sound is awesome," Xiao Siqi gave her a thumbs up as soon as Gong Chen returned to the operating room, "Singing skills are also great, Xiao Yao choosing you to sing this song is really appropriate."

   "Thank you, Teacher Xiao," Gong Chen smiled happily, and then turned to look at Xiao Yao. Xiao Siqi's affirmation naturally made her very happy, but she was more concerned about Xiao Yao's views. After all, this is Xiao Yao's work, and Xiao Yao sitting in front of the console will be the instructor for her next performance.

"It's really great," Xiao Yao also nodded, "Although there are many small flaws, this is your first audition. These small problems are inevitable. We have time to adjust slowly. The important thing is the overall It feels very good already. You completely sang the kind of ethereal and psychedelic taste I wanted, even better than I expected. I am full of confidence in you now." After listening to Gong Chen After the audition, Xiao Yao even felt that Gong Chen’s voice and her singing skills were more suitable for this song than the previous life Iselin Solheim.

   "Really? That would be great." Now Gong Chen smiled completely relaxed, "I also like this song very much. I will definitely practice this song and try to sing it to perfection!"

   "Well, let's work hard together." Xiao Yao cheered and clenched his fists vigorously.

   "That...Gong Chen, I heard sister Ling said that the record company you signed with is AMG, right? There are still a few years in the contract, do you have any ideas about changing jobs?" Xiao Siqi asked Gong Chen with a smile.

"No? Dad, you want to dig people again?" Xiao Yao shook his head and sighed, "Fan Linxuan hadn't signed the contract last time. Why are you even thinking about the signed singer? AMG is a big record. Company, who can our small studio dig into their hands?"

"What's wrong with the small studio? As long as the **** is swayed well, there is no corner digging." Xiao Siqi smiled. "Gong Chen has such a special voice and good singing skills. Who doesn't like it? Of course Dad has to fight for it. ."

  "Is this sentence used here?" Xiao Yao was sweating in his heart, but after thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing inappropriate to use here.

"I support your dad, what happened to the big record company?" Ye Jiaying also said, "Since you mentioned Fan Linxuan, think about it, if Fan Linxuan really signed into the big record company, she would be a newcomer so fast. Release the album, can you have the current results?"

   "Well, I was wrong." Xiao Yao raised his hand and surrendered, "I am also a member of the studio, so I shouldn't be underestimated."

"You really might as well think about it," Xiao Siqi said to Gong Chen. "Now our studio has only me, Xiao Yao, Fan Linxuan, and Chen Chen. The other is a women's folk orchestra. I won't talk about it, Xiao Yao. Don’t look at him when he released the album last year, and now he’s so devoted to music, but with his sluggish temperament, he may decide what to play again after a while. The studio’s main singer is now Fan Linxuan and Chen Chen. Chen Chen is a boy and a rapper. Although Fan Linxuan is a girl and is about the same age as you, her voice is not the same as you. Although I cannot promise how much resources will be invested in you, at least in terms of internal competition, You don't have to worry too much. As for external competition and the strength of the studio, you can refer to Fan Linxuan's current situation."

   "This...I can't make a decision at once. I think I still have to ask my agent's opinion." Gong Chen hesitated.

  Gong Chen is indeed a little moved, after all, Fan Linxuan’s example is there. But if she really wanted to agree to quit now, she couldn't make this determination for a while. After all, AMG treats her well. Although the signing of the contract for two years has not made her really popular in the music world, she has been working hard for her. Just like this time she was selected by Wan Peiling to participate in this show, the company has done a lot of work in it.

"By the way, if you have a particularly good relationship with your agent, you can bring the agent with you. Anyway, our company does not have many agents." Xiao Siqi added, and then turned to appease Gong Chen. "But Don’t put too much pressure on you. We appreciate you, not embarrass you. Even if you don’t agree, it’s okay. Xiao Yao won’t regret it and take this song back. We don’t ask you to reply in too long We, you think about it slowly, don’t worry. Now your most important task is to finish this song by Xiao Yao."

   "Okay, thank you, Teacher Xiao, for your consideration. I will seriously consider it." Gong Chen said with a slight relief, "I will also sing Xiao Yao's song well."
