Chapter 136: Sony's Move

Liao Liao's singing skills have evolved again.

It's a really scary thing.

Liao Liao's voice and singing skills are already among the best in the current domestic music scene, especially among female singers. From a completely objective point of view, she can really compete with her in every vocal range. Those who have not yet fallen behind, there is probably only one Zhen Zhen in the country.

But now, listening to her new album "The Sound of the Waves Are Still" that has been recorded, listening to her perfectly displaying the extraordinary charm and expressiveness that a wide range of three octaves should have, Li Qian can't help but shake his head , sigh, clap.

Perhaps in the bass area, Liao Liao and Zhen Zhen are still in a dilemma, but in the alto area, since she dug out the thick alto in her range through the song "Ferry Crossing", she has never been able to pronounce it. Tidy up, up to now, she is in the middle voice, not to mention Zhen Zhen, at least she is firmly ahead of her.

Everyone's voice has its own width. If it falls into the profession of professional singers, it is not too difficult for the outstanding ones to span two octaves. Many people can do it, and even come to the so-called live high pitch There are also many people in the music circle who can give you three or even four octaves in the field of competitions, but to be honest, if you listen carefully to the extreme sound, you will I don't think it sounds good. Especially the so-called soaring high pitch, the sound is often extremely thin, extremely brittle, and extremely unstable-in short, it does not have grace and sustainability.

Therefore, generally speaking, for a mature singer, his or her really beautiful vocal range is only two octaves at the top. Even, for many famous singers, their really beautiful part The sound is fixed on a certain scale and timbre. Even if you broaden your horizons to the whole world, there are very few singers whose timbres in the three octaves are beautiful enough to be included in records.

Leaving aside certain bel canto masters, as far as Li Qian knows, there is probably only one Mariah Carey. Sarah Brightman is powerful enough, but the beautiful tone she can really stabilize is less than three octaves.

Of course, many people will say that it is officially said that Sarah Brightman has three and a half octaves-if it is counted as being able to sing, Mariah Carey can soar to seven octaves!

However, apart from showing that a certain singer has a wide vocal range, or that he can go to the Guinness Book of World Records, the other value of such a voice is not great. Especially for making records, the most important thing is not how wide the sound range is, but how wide the usable and beautiful sound range is.

As far as the vocal range itself is concerned, according to gossip in the industry, Zhen Zhen’s vocal range is completely opened up, and she can sing up to six and a half octaves, but in fact, her really good-sounding and often-used range is only about two octaves. One and a half octaves, only in a very rare song, she can sing three octaves, that's because, in fact, the timbre of her highest pitch is not as good and outstanding as her other range .

Therefore, the result is obvious. Zhen Zhen's voice is thicker than Liao Liao's, but in the bass area, it is hard to distinguish between the two, and even some of Liao Liao's special timbres are more recognizable than Zhen Zhen's. Generally speaking, it is a tie, and the alto area is where Zhen Zhen’s traditional strength lies. Now, through the excavation of this album, Liao Liao can also win the first line, and the treble area, Zhen Zhen Although Zhen is bold and unrestrained, she has always been well-known among female singers in China, but Liao Liao's voice is not only not inferior to hers, she can even perform extremely well in a higher range.

Although the sound has always been moving, even if there is only one or two exceptionally good ranges, it is enough, but a wider and pleasant range will undoubtedly greatly enrich the expressiveness of music and songs. .

So, from the bass in "What a Big Tree", to the alto in "The Ferry", to the hearty treble in "Back" - after listening to Liao Liao's new album, almost everyone is in the same mood. He closed his eyes and thought about it, and for more than a minute, no one, including Zhao Meifeng and Chen Changsheng, was willing to say the first sentence.

Well, that's right, here is the preview of the pre-recorded version of Liao Liao's new album "The Sound of the Waves Still".

Of course, besides Li Qian and Liao Liao, the only ones who are qualified to participate in this audition are the two general managers, one deputy general manager and three art directors from Changsheng Records.

After a minute or two, everyone gradually came to their senses from the album. Chen Changsheng said with a smile, "If this album doesn't sell well, I'll quit the record industry from now on!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Although there are not many works, Li Qian, who almost every capital is excellent, is already well-known in the pop music circle. His lyrics, music, arrangement and production, coupled with Liao Liao's voice , is simply a guarantee of best-selling!

So, after receiving a lot of compliments, when Li Qian and Liao Liao separated from the crowd and returned to Liao Liao's exclusive lounge, Li Qian smiled and said: "From the current point of view, there is no problem, so my work as a producer , even if it’s over, you and Sister Zhao should take good care of the next stage.”

While agreeing, Liao Liao brought two bottles of water, handed him one, unscrewed the other bottle and drank a couple of sips, sat down and said with a smile: "I didn't feel thirsty when I sang. Instead, I feel thirsty, haha!"

After finishing speaking, she asked, "When are you going to go back?"

Li Qian thought for a while and said, "Just for a few days, Mr. Qi stayed to look for a house, and I happened to live in your place. As for me, it's useless to stay anyway, so I'd better go back to class honestly."

Liao Liao nodded, "Yesterday, Old Chen asked me in a roundabout way, the four songs you promised him, are you really going to put them on my album after it's released?"

Li Qian smiled and said: "You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must have the heart to guard against others. I don't know much about Mr. Chen, and I don't trust him enough to be bold enough to just rely on a verbal agreement." .”

Liao Liao thought about it, thought it was the same, and smiled: "According to Lao Chen's eyeliner report, Wu Xing Wu Su's new album is very fast, but think about it, everything is prepared in advance, Du Xiaoming is Master, it’s no wonder it’s not fast! By the way, even though you’re not joining us, Hua Ge is still willing to spend money. It’s said that their album cost more than 1.6 million just for collecting songs! Including Du Xiaoming's production fee, I estimate that their album alone will cost three million yuan! It is said that each of the dozen or so songs selected is a masterpiece!"

Li Qian smiled and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Liao Liao shook his head, "I'm afraid I can't talk about it. I have confidence in this album, in you, and in myself. Even if it's head-to-head, maybe I can't win, at least I can't lose much!"

After a while, she asked a little unwillingly: "You don't think about my shareholding anymore?"

Li Qian smiled when he heard the words, and said: "It is my bottom line not to do business with any friends. Money is a good thing, but it is poisonous! Such a good friend, in the end, because of money, life and death can be caused. Enemy, tell me, can we make a mistake? It’s better to let you be your studio and I be my studio. When necessary, our two studios will work together to make albums.”

Liao Liao curled his lips when he heard the words. Although he felt that Li Qian must not be persuaded, he couldn't help but muttered, "Am I right between the two of us? Besides, I don't value money in the first place. man!"

Li Qian smiled, and immediately said: "This is the crux of the matter. If it's just the two of us, then there's no problem. It doesn't matter who takes advantage and who suffers. However, you can guarantee that your future boyfriend, husband, and Is your family the same as you? To be honest, I can’t guarantee that my family will not care about this at all! So, it’s time to cooperate and cooperate, and it’s better to clean up the money! First villain and then gentleman, friends can be friends Do it for the long run!"

Liao Liao let out a "tch", pouted his lips, and looked at Li Qian without blinking.

Li Qian didn't care at first, but after letting her stare at it for a long time, she felt something was wrong, couldn't help but look back, and asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Liao Liao gave him a deep look, then turned away and said, "It's nothing."

Then she suddenly asked: "By the way, where's your little girlfriend? You're leaving soon, we haven't met yet, it is said that she is very beautiful, let me meet you?"

Li Qian suddenly laughed when he heard the words, "It's useless, I asked her to take a concubine a year ago, and asked her to write me a few consent statements, but I still haven't got it!"

Liao Liao was stunned for a moment, and then she came back to her senses. Anyway, she was not far away, so she grabbed the pillow and threw it over, "Dream!"

After throwing away the pillows, Li Qian laughed loudly, but at this moment, Liao Liao found something else again, and couldn't help but stare, "Yo, that's fine, how many do you want? It seems Ambition is not small wow!"

Li Qian laughed.

But Liao Liao got up and sat down. They were shoulder to shoulder and leg to leg. She touched Li Qian and said, "You can't do this. Let me tell you...you should ask for one first!" After a pause, she saw Li Qian looking over, and said: "Believe me, women are such animals. For women, as long as the bottom line is broken once, then it will never exist again! So, as long as you can succeed Get one, and she will smash the jar in the future!"

This time it was Li Qian's turn to be stunned, and turned to look at her, "Hey, so you still support me in taking a concubine?"

Liao Liao winked at him, turned his head and walked away without saying a word.

But when she went back and sat down, she found that it was actually Li Qian's turn to look at her this time.

She asked, "What do you see me doing?"

Li Qian just laughed, "It's really like what you said, once a woman has her first time and breaks through the first time, there will be no bottom line in the future?"

Hearing this, Liao Liao was stunned for a moment, and a little redness appeared on his face which was rare.

Obviously, when Li Qian asked this question, she could easily think of what the two of them did when they were at Li Qian's house in Jinan Prefecture.

But at this time, she raised her chin and winked, "Want it? Come on..."

Li Qian smiled and was about to speak, but there was a knock on the door. Li Qian said to the outside, "Please come in." But at the same time, Liao Liao glanced at the door awkwardly, with a flash of disappointment in his eyes.

It was Huang Wenjuan who came in.

Seeing the two sitting far away from each other, the little assistant first breathed a sigh of relief - no matter how innocent the two were in front of others, they definitely couldn't hide it from her.

In her opinion, she couldn't say whether Li Qian was interested in Liao Liao, but Liao Liao definitely had some interest in Li Qian.

Therefore, every time two people are in the same room, the little assistant is too scared to knock on the door, and also has to be afraid of being disturbed by others, so every time he honestly guards the door and stands guard for the two of them. .

But this time, she really couldn't come in.

"Sister, call!" As she said that, she walked over while covering the receiver, and whispered, "Sony, your surname is Xie!"

Liao Liao was sitting loosely at first, but when he heard the surname Xie, the expression on his face immediately became solemn.

It's like if there is something wrong with Huage, even if it is hidden, but after a while, some rumors will definitely spread in the circle, and if there is any movement on Sony's side, it can't always be hidden from other record companies. Although playing in the world is a different kind of commodity, in the final analysis, it is still a business circle.

Since it is a business circle, it is difficult to have any real secrets at all.

Currently, only Li Qian, Qi Jie, Liao Liao, and Chen Changsheng know about an extremely sensitive topic like the release date of Liao Liao's album. , then this news will immediately spread in the circle, and the secret will no longer be a secret.

Although there were only a few people who came to the audition just now and the scope was not large, the news that Liao Liao's new album will be auditioned is not a secret in the company. Therefore, Liao Liao knew it without even thinking about it. He probably knew about it after finishing the album and the audition session on his front foot. Then, Sony, surnamed Xie, called at this time, it seemed a bit meaningful. up.

She answered the phone, "Hello, Mr. Xie."

On the other end of the phone, a deep voice said, "Miss Liao, I'm Xie Mingyuan. I heard that your new album is finished?"

Liao Liao smiled and said: "Mr. Xie got the news very quickly. Yes, the recording is over, and there is still a post-production."

Over there, Xie Mingyuan laughed and said, "How about we chat some time? By the way, call Qian Shao, and the three of us sit together and have a good chat."

Liao Liao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Li Qian, she opened her mouth, pointed at herself, and then at Li Qian.

Li Qian understood in seconds.

After a moment, he nodded.

For Liao Liao, it was a matter of hesitating for a moment, and then receiving a signal from Li Qian, she smiled and said, "Add Li Qian, Mr. Xie, you are ignoring me! Add Li Qian Qian, what's the matter with me!"

On the other end of the phone, Xie Mingyuan laughed.

"Liao Liao, you underestimate yourself! For me and for Sony Records, you, He Qianshao, are indispensable!"
