Chapter 20 Tianxiang Records Chen Yijie
The weather in Hong Kong City is very good today. The sun is passing through the high-rise buildings, casting a warm light on this international metropolis with difficulty.
In front of a western-style small white building, Hu Songnan was watering flowers in the yard.
This is my son's home. It seems that the villa is not big, nor luxurious enough, and even has a sense of age. But don't underestimate it, people who can live in villas in the port city where land is expensive are by no means ordinary local tyrants!
Hu Songnan came to his son's house and lived there for almost a week, but he didn't go out very much to "see the world", mainly because he was quiet and not troublesome, playing the piano and raising flowers were the only things he could do. thing!
Grandchildren and granddaughters are very well-behaved, but after all, young people also have their own lives. There is not much to accompany!
"Dad, let's go!" A middle-aged man in his late fifties but well-maintained walked out and said respectfully.
This is the eldest son of the old man, Hu Yongxiang, the owner of Tianxiang Records, which ranks fourth in Hong Kong City Records. Despite his aloof status, he still behaved respectfully in front of his father.
"You said that I'm an old man, what can I give you some pointers?" Hu Songnan sat in his son's car and muttered, "I'm not into pop music, I'm afraid I can't play with your young people's stuff!"
Hu Yongxiang personally drove his father, he smiled slightly: "Where, Dad, you have been a teacher for so many years, and you have rich experience. You just happened to help me tune these musicians in the tuning company! I never thought that the position of general music director would not be given to you, but also Who can be more suitable!"
In fact, he is also bullshitting.
Record companies have music directors, but have never heard of the position of music director! It's just that Hu Yongxiang set it up for his father. He wants his father who is still healthy to move around more, otherwise, if he stays at home all the time, his body will go wrong.
When he arrived at the company, Hu Songnan didn't point fingers. He kept a kind smile, greeted people who came and went, and had a gentle conversation with the company executives called by his son.
"Grandpa Hu, you actually speak vernacular (Cantonese)?" Hu Yongxiang's secretary, Ye Xiaofeng, is a young girl. She is the daughter of a shareholder of the company. asked. (For the convenience of everyone's understanding, the following Cantonese dialogues are automatically adjusted to Mandarin.)
"Well, when I was young, I also studied in Hong Kong City." Hu Songnan didn't care, he nodded and responded with a smile.
"Xiaofeng, although he's from the mainland, don't underestimate it!" Hu Yongxiang was a little dissatisfied, he always felt that the old man was his lifelong idol, so he showed off like a child, "When he was young, he was in Hong Kong. City, the German Confederation, WYN in Austria and many other places to study and teach, before my father was fifty-five, he was invited to perform at WYNJSDT almost every one or two years..."
Although Hu Yongxiang's musical talent is not high and his attainments are limited, looking at his excited appearance, he can see how deeply the old man has influenced him!
"So powerful?" Ye Xiaofeng's eyes seemed to bloom with little stars.
"No, no, these are all false. Now I have to communicate with you young people, and I have to talk about pop music. I have to ask you for advice!" Hu Songnan laughed and said very modestly.
After talking for a while, Hu Yongxiang asked his secretary to accompany his father, the boss of a large company, and there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
Ye Xiaofeng didn't know how to arrange it, so she took the old man to go around, introducing various departments and interesting places of the company, like a tourist.
"...This is our recording studio. The fifth and sixth floors are all recording studios. There are eight studios in total. Sometimes they are rented out. Of course, most of the time they are used by our company's singers."
Although Ye Xiaofeng is not very proficient in business, she is still a very smart guy. When she saw Hu Songnan's rare expression of interest, she slowed down.
"Grandpa Hu, why don't I go check it out and see which recording studio is vacant. Why don't you try it?" Ye Xiaofeng took out her phone and laughed.
Hu Songnan was really interested, he nodded and said, "Then you ask, but don't ask empty, see which recording studio is in use. If you don't bother, I want to watch it."
"Hee hee, where would I bother you? Your guidance is their blessing!" Ye Xiaofeng said sweetly.
She quickly found it. It was the recording studio used by the company's ace male singer Chen Yijie. There was no problem in communication at all. The boss's father wanted to watch, who would dare to say no?
Of course, Chen Yijie himself is also a humble person. He also put down his work and introduced his current situation to Hu Songnan: "... Recently, we have been preparing for this year's new album. We are industry-oriented and accumulating songs!"
Chen Yijie is the most popular male singer under Tianxiang, and he has the ability to create himself. At his peak, he can also stand side by side with the four singers of Hong Kong City.
However, the singer-songwriter also has an embarrassment, and his state will have ups and downs! The songs he released in the past few years have not sold as well as before, and have gradually fallen behind! This also made Intertek's ranking slip from the original third place to the fourth place.
So this year Chen Yijie is going to release a new album, and the company decided to help him collect songs, and can no longer release this kind of album with a completely personal creative style.
"What I wrote and what the company helped collect is basically enough for an album! But there's still one title song left!" Chen Yijie said with a wry smile, "Look, I'm almost sleeping here, and I don't have a clue."
"Eason, you're asking too much of yourself!" Ye Xiaofeng, who has a deep background, interrupted indifferently, "Sister Checkered said, it's hard to satisfy!"
Chen Yijie shrugged helplessly.
"It's a good thing to be strict with yourself!" Hu Songnan said with a slight smile, "Without painstaking efforts, how can the fans be happy when they listen to the songs? You can listen to more classical music when you have time. Those masterpieces are all masters who are extremely poor. It took half a lifetime or even a lifetime to beat it!"
"What you said is, but the current society is very impetuous. If you don't make an album for a year, I am afraid that others will catch up, and there will be no chance to turn over." Chen Yijie said sighingly.
After all, he was old, and Hu Songnan was very tired after standing for a while. He sat down on the sofa in the back and smiled: "I just wanted to come and see how you young people record songs, you don't have to accompany me, it will be too much trouble After work, Xiaofeng and I will listen and watch quietly behind this place."
Chen Yijie was not pretentious either. He quickly returned to work and really regarded Hu Songnan and Ye Xiaofeng as invisible people.
Chen Yijie's work status is actually very boring. He repeatedly plays the score he has written before, carefully considering the structure of the lyrics, stopping from time to time to sketch on the paper, and from time to time, he will cross out the things he just wrote down and knock down the heavy ones. Do!
Hu Songnan could still accept it because he was familiar with this state, but Ye Xiaofeng felt bored.
"It's so boring! Grandpa Hu, let me take you to another place to play!" Ye Xiaofeng said restlessly after staying for less than fifteen minutes.
Hu Songnan waved his hand, motioning Ye Xiaofeng not to influence Chen Yijie, he listened to Chen Yijie's song attentively.
Well, Ye Xiaofeng helplessly covered her face.
Before long, she became more restless.
It's so boring!
If you have this time, why not sneak out and study with the girl at the front desk on the first floor how to get a new one.
This thought, like a weed, grew in Ye Xiaofeng's heart and was difficult to control. In a few minutes, her eyes were rolling around, and she was thinking about sneaking!
But suddenly, Hu Songnan stood up.
"Huh? Are you leaving?" Ye Xiaofeng was overjoyed, and also stood up.
However, Hu Songnan went straight to Chen Yijie, and saw that he patted Chen Yijie on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Your voice is very recognizable, it is a sad and restrained magnetism!"
"Just so, a few days ago, I heard a song that suits you very well. Would you like to try it..."
