Chapter 43 Our Song (Part 2)

It was also July 13th, in the afternoon.

Beijing, the headquarters of Changsheng Records.

Liao Liao pushed open the door of the recording studio and walked out, asking eagerly, "How is it?"

The sound engineer handed over a headset and said, "That's right, I think it's even better than the previous recordings."

Before Liao Liao could put on the monitor earphones, Zhao Meifeng had already taken off the earphones, she frowned slightly, and raised her face and asked, "Liao Liao, do you really have so much confidence in this song? It’s not that no one has gone the road of rock and roll, and some people are walking now, but no one has achieved any good results yet!”

Liao Liao nodded and said seriously: "I like this song, and I believe there will be many people who like it as much as I do."

Zhao Meifeng could hear the firmness in her tone, although she had heard this firm tone from Liao Liao more than once, but she couldn't help but want to ask next time. Of course, the result is the same every time.

She sighed helplessly and shook her head slightly.

After the release of Liao Liao's first single, composed and arranged by himself, although the sales volume was not so great, it was well received by music critics and the entire music circle. Especially her voice, her singing skills, the bass is full-bodied and natural, the mid-range is clear and bright, but the high-pitched area is slightly hoarse, full of texture - in the words of a music critic in the circle, such a natural A good voice, this is called the patriarch to enjoy the meal!

And with that single, many people in the entire music circle are looking forward to her first official studio album. It is precisely because of this that Mr. Zheng boldly and directly approved a production fund of 800,000 yuan, hoping to promote Liao Liao in one fell swoop and drive the female artists of the entire record company. It is precisely because of this that she has become herself, and even The top priority of the entire company's work, not to mention myself, even Mr. Zheng personally came forward to help her invite and grab songs for her.

But these are not problems. The problem is that Liao Liao has appeared as a singer-songwriter since the first single. Before signing the contract to produce the first album, she also asked repeatedly. Not as a producer, but all songs must be approved by her before they can be added to the album-that is, she is actually one of the producers.

But now, it was the unlimited song selection privilege in Liao Liao's hands that made her, Zhao Meifeng, Zheng Zong and the entire Changsheng Records fall into a dilemma.

Come on, Liao Liao is so stubborn, it's really hard for them to have high hopes for the sales of this album, let's go back, the contract is there, and the money has already been spent...

"well!"

Zhao Meifeng sighed secretly in her heart, thinking: "If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have given her so much authority. Now it's good, if this album can't be sold..."

Putting on the earphones again, and listening to the slightly hoarse voice from inside, she couldn't help but frowned slightly again, thinking: "Is there really anyone who likes this style?"

After more than a minute, Liao Liao took off the earphones and turned to look over, "Sister Zhao, what do you think...?"

How about it?

Regardless of the disapproval of this light rock style in the entire music market, this song is of course very good!

Its lyrics are not complicated, and its tunes are not very good, but there is a kind of true emotion that touches people's hearts in the ordinary, and it is interpreted by Liao Liao's unique good voice, as long as you don't speak against your conscience , even Zhao Meifeng had to admit that the overall effect of this song is really quite nice.

It has charm, aftertaste, and aftertaste!

In fact, this song alone has been recorded for three or four days, and the effect of each time is pretty good. Even with Zhao Meifeng's strict eyes, the few times recorded on the second day are enough alright.

It's just that Liao Liao has always felt that she has not yet reached her best state, so she, the producer, can only accompany her to continue recording over and over again.

At this time, Zhao Meifeng thought for a while after hearing the words, and said: "I think it's good enough. In fact, if you want me to say it, I think the effect of the one the day before yesterday afternoon was even better than this time."

Liao Liao nodded without even a smile on his face.

Having been together for more than a year, Zhao Meifeng also knows that she is such a person: she doesn't write songs, sing, or discuss albums. She is just a big kid, loves to talk, laugh, and make trouble. When it comes to music and the production of this album, she will become extremely serious and rarely even joke.

After thinking for a while, Liao Liao said to the sound engineer: "Angkor, play it again for me, and I will listen carefully."

The sound engineer agreed, and seeing Liao Liao put on the earphones, he pressed the play button.

Shortly after Liao Liao got the arrangement, the accompaniment was made, and the recordings of the past few days have always followed the accompaniment. In other words, as long as Liao Liao thinks it's okay, this is a version that can be used to make a CD at any time.

From beginning to end, three minutes and forty-six seconds, Liao Liao listened carefully.

When the accompaniment was over, she took off her earphones with a troubled look on her face.

Before she knew it, she recalled the way Li Qian sang with his guitar on the balcony - Liao Liao was so obsessed with the way he sang at that time!

In fact, after so many recordings, she is always looking for that taste with her own voice. But until just now, she still felt that something was missing!

"How about it? How about using the edition from the afternoon before yesterday?" Zhao Meifeng asked.

Liao Liao shook his head, "No...not even! I always feel that...it's not so interesting!"

When Zhao Meifeng heard this, her face suddenly turned ugly.

It is not uncommon to record a song dozens of times. In this circle, it is even possible to record a song for more than ten days! But the problem is, in her opinion, the effect of this song is already very good, there is really no need to continue recording it!

Liao Liao thought for a while, put down the earphones, turned to Zhao Meifeng and said, "Sister Zhao, do you think this is okay? I know you don't think it's necessary to continue recording... In this way, I will stop here this afternoon, and I won't record it for now. Alright, take a rest for an afternoon, and I will try again tomorrow morning, if you still can’t find that feeling, then do as you said, use the version from the afternoon before yesterday, okay?”

Zhao Meifeng hesitated a little when she heard the words, and could only nod her head, but at the same time, she couldn't help but sigh.

After Liao Liao packed up his things briefly, thanked the sound engineer and wanted to go out, she walked out the door with Liao Liao, patted her arm, and said, "Don't be too eager, the current effect It’s already very good, no matter who you listen to, you won’t be able to pick anything out!”

Liao Liao smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Sister Zhao."

Zhao Meifeng shook her head bitterly, but hesitated to speak.

Liao Liao shrugged, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Sister, you don't need to say it, I understand what you want to say. Do you want to say that if this album doesn't sell, I won't be able to hang out in Changsheng, Right?"

Zhao Meifeng looked up in surprise, although she knew that with Liao Liao's intelligence, she must have thought of this a long time ago, but she did not expect that Liao Liao would be so calm when talking about this matter.

"Liao Liao, my sister didn't..."

Liao Liao interrupted her by raising her hand, and said with a smile: "So, sister Zhao, I just made this as my last album... Trust me, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Meifeng had no choice but to smile wryly and nodded.

"Then you... no, it's us, let's all work hard!"

Liao Liao smiled, "Thank you."

…………

They called Huang Wenjuan, and the two left the company to take a taxi home.

"Today, that Lele was talking about you behind your back again. This person is real. If Sister Zhao hadn't stopped Mianmian's song under the banner of giving you the song, would it be her turn? She would be fine." , there is no good word behind his back!"

It's hard to say anything in the company, and no one knows if there is an ear on the other side of the partition wall, but Huang Wenjuan couldn't hold back when she got into the taxi, and she looked filled with righteous indignation.

Liao Liao just smiled, "She is favored by Sister Zhao. Sister Zhao treats me well, even for her sake, I won't care about anything with her. If you hear what she says in the future, just pretend to listen." See you!"

Huang Wenjuan couldn't help but said: "But now it's not you who cares about her or not, it's her who keeps making troubles in the company behind her back! It's not all for you! Sister, tell me... "

"Okay!" Liao Liao interrupted her, "She picks things up? She's just a newcomer who just signed a contract. What can she pick up? Can she pick things up?"

"I don't know if she can be picky or not. Anyway, there are more and more strange things in the company these days. You don't know how ugly that Lele said behind her back! And, and..."

"And what?"

"And it seems that everyone is following her words now. You know that Sister Zhao is going to praise her recently. Those people in the company..."

Liao Liao sighed and smiled, his face full of tiredness that could not be concealed. But she still turned her head to look at Huang Wenjuan very seriously, and said, "Juanzi, you have to understand that the future of me, Liao Liao, is not determined by what they say behind the scenes! My future is only in my In the album! So, don’t bother with her about these things, understand?”

Although still not angry, Huang Wenjuan nodded when she heard the words.

Liao Liao took out his mobile phone to make a call, but saw the time first, and couldn't help laughing, "I thought it was so early, and I told Sister Zhao that I would be here first this afternoon. It's already past five o'clock!"

While speaking, she shook her head and dialed a number.

"Hello, Miss Liao."

"Well, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing! Didn't I tell you last time, I'm going to be a resident singer during the summer vacation, and now I'm looking for a job from door to door!"

"Well, it's not a bad thing! When I first arrived in Beijing, I also sang in bars for more than half a year! The bigger the scene, the more tempered you are. Some things, if you haven't been on that occasion, you don't have that experience!"

"Well! Then you... what's the matter?"

"It's okay, I just want to ask you... Hey, forget it, it's okay!"

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"I was wondering...would you like to come over and be a producer for me? I've been recording recently, and I always feel that the taste is a little bit wrong, and I always feel that something is missing! The producer said it's ok, and everyone else I can't hear anything!"

"...Persistence? Or...wildflowers?"

"Hehe... You Zhuge Liang, you!... It's a wild flower!"

"Hmm... a lot of pressure, right? I mean, so far, there hasn't been a light rock song that has become popular in this market!"

"That's why I gave you such a high price! Otherwise, do you think the company would allow me to take such a big risk? To be honest, you really took advantage of it!"

"Hehe... But to be honest, the risk of such a forceful method is really too great. Your producer and your boss are all courageous! If you change other bosses, you dare to play like this. If you don’t want the money, you will be suppressed!”

"Hehe... Mr. Zheng... Yes, he has always been a very courageous person! As for Sister Zhao... Hehe, she just has nothing to do with me! Eh... I wonder if you are really seventeen? You are old! You have too many eyes, don't you? You shouldn't say such things at your age..."

"Aren't you used to it yet?"

"Okay... you pretend I didn't say it. You... sing it to me again?"

"Hehe... Sister Liao, relax a little bit. In fact, you don't need anything else. Your understanding and grasp of those songs may not be comparable to mine now. What you need is to relax a little bit. You are too tense How is it possible to sing well?"

"Relax?"

"Relax."

"..."

"You should believe in my works, and you should also believe in your own strength. We will be popular! Our songs will be popular!"

Liao Liao took a deep breath and straightened his back.

"Well, I firmly believe that!"
