Chapter 432 Chapter 170 The Man Running in High Heels
After more than two years and nearly three years of continuous investment in construction, Minghu Culture's recording studios are already among the top batches in China, both in terms of hardware equipment and the professionalism of the sound engineer.
Today, in recording studio No. 1, several special guests ushered in.
Master of Peking Opera, successor of Cheng Pai, honorary director of Shuntian Peking Opera, Mr. Cheng Yunshan, and his disciples, vice president of National Peking Opera, and the number one Peking Opera student in China at present, Cheng Pai is one of the top students of this generation. The representative figure and banner, Fang Shaobai.
Unlike Li Qian and Liao Liao, who have just emerged in the past few years, from Mr. Cheng to Fang Shaobai, those are the people who must appear every year since the Spring Festival Gala in the past few decades. Beijing Opera has not declined like the time and space experienced by Li Qian. At least, it has not been abandoned by the middle-aged and younger generations. Therefore, a Peking Opera master is not just a good-sounding Despite his name, he still has considerable influence.
Both of them came here for the first time, which is rare. Li Qian personally accompanied them all the way, and took them to visit the company from top to bottom, from inside to outside, including the musical instrument room, lounge, recording studio, The office, the film and television department upstairs, and even the image processing studio downstairs where no one is allowed to enter, Li Qian took his master and senior brothers in for a tour, and even put the top-secret level The special effects clips, such as the part where the white lady cultivates the Tao and transforms into a human form, are played for two people to watch.
Although the old man is not young, he is full of energy. He watched and listened to Li Qian's introduction all the way. He was quite interested in many things in the company, especially the special effects of the film and television.
Of course, the old man was very happy after seeing the belongings of his closed disciples, but the focus of their visit this time was not this, but the recording.
Liao Liao's new album is currently top secret, so the production is very careful. In order not to cause too much news to spread in the circle, Li Qian tried his best to use his own people, and Fang Shaobai was responsible for the musical instruments used in Beijing opera. , and directly moved over his team from the Peking Opera Theater. Now the outside world only knows that Minghu Culture has come to record a Peking Opera-style piece, but they never thought it would be Liao Liao's new song.
There are two Peking opera-style works in total. Fang Shaobai is naturally an expert, so Li Qian did not hesitate to invite his big brother to come out to escort him and act as a producer, and Mr. Cheng also volunteered to come over as a consultant. , in his words, "I want to go and follow along to see how you all make things."
So, the old man saw it.
Before entering the recording studio, it was just an audition, and Fang Shaobai's singing was directly beaten back by Li Qian.
"We need the charm of Peking Opera, but we don't want to copy Peking Opera. After all, this is a song. Brother, you are too formal! Throw away the things about Peking Opera, and try to understand it as a song to sing... Uh, Brother, can you sing?"
Fang Shaobai and Mr. Cheng looked at each other, and then shook his head helplessly. Although he may be an expert in Peking Opera, but when it comes to singing, he has to admit, "I really don't know how to sing."
No way, Li Qian had no choice but to demonstrate in person.
"Red crispy hands, yellow vine wine, and willows all over the city..."
If you really want to talk about Beijing opera, there are two masters of Beijing opera in front of you. Li Qian's half bowl of water must be far worse than the two, but his breath and singing, after all, were taught by Mr. Cheng, so there must be no problem , and Fang Shaobai are also absolutely in the same line, so when he sang the processed accent that removed a lot of Peking Opera accents, Fang Shaobai suddenly realized it!
"So that's what you want!" Fang Shaobai shook his head and laughed, "It's been so long since I got your songbook, I thought about it, maybe you won't ask me to sing according to the original Beijing opera, but this... you have to give me Two days, let me look for it, I am a little uncomfortable."
The old man lowered his head and licked there. After a long time, he said earnestly: "I know you want to promote Peking Opera, and I know your filial piety, but if you do it like this, will it affect the child's development?" After finishing speaking, he He also looked at Liao Liao.
Liao Liao is Li Qian's woman, although she is unknown at present, but the matter must be such a thing, Li Qian is a disciple, Liao Liao can barely be regarded as a daughter-in-law. Therefore, when the old man heard that Li Qian was going to compose two Peking opera-style songs for Liao Liao, on the one hand, he was happy and relieved, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but worry about Li Qian's decision—even he, Knowing that it is the time when Li Qian, Liao Liao and the others are in full bloom, if they stumble because of promoting Peking Opera, it is not the old man's old wish.
However, Li Qian answered him with certainty, "Don't worry, it won't happen, I know it well."
…………
The time left for Li Qian and Liao Liao to record four Chinese songs is not sufficient, not to mention that Fang Shaobai basically went astray before and had to start practicing from the beginning, so the time is even tighter.
But fortunately, for Li Qian and Liao Liao, the cooperation between each other has long been as natural and smooth as eating and drinking. Many times, Li Qian does not need to finish the meaning, Liao Liao already understands in seconds, so, in the After "The Hairpin Head Phoenix" and "Rap Mask" were moved to the end, it took less than five days for Li Qian, Liao Liao, and Xie Mingyuan, a group of recording groups working at full speed, to complete "The Forgotten Time" and "The Forgotten Time". Paradise" recording of these two works.
He Runqing, who was preparing for the concert, sneaked in and joined in, praising the two songs.
…………
After finishing recording "Heaven" in the afternoon, Liao Liao's voice was already a little tired.
After all, one is the recent continuous practice and recording of a lot of songs, which is easy to get tired, and the second is the song "Paradise", which is also more throat-intensive. Quite suffering from running around.
So, after the recording was over, Li Qian sent Liao Liao home early to rest, and he asked someone to book a flight ticket to Lanzhou Prefecture tomorrow, and then ran to the video studio on the seventh floor to check the special effects work progress.
Then, he got busy, and when he came back to his senses, he found that it was already past eight o'clock.
So, he ordered a lot of takeaways to be delivered, and gave extra meals to the staff who were still working overtime in the studio, and he also stayed to eat a little before getting up and leaving.
The car drove into the community where he was renting a house, but there was no parking space again.
In the end, he had no choice but to find a roadside not too far away to stop temporarily, ready to take his things and leave. However, before he got out of the car after stopping the car, his eyes inadvertently and subconsciously glanced at the building where he lived, but his expression couldn't help being startled.
When the key was pulled out, the headlights of the car were turned off, but only in this way, under the moonlight, that figure happened to come into view.
It's a girl with a super-good figure from the back, with a neat ponytail, and she's about 1.75 meters tall.
Uh, more or less familiar.
The back view, figure, ponytail, and even the clothes all look familiar.
Li Qian opened the car door, but before he got out of the car, the girl seemed to have heard the commotion here, suddenly turned around and walked a few steps to the side, and stood in front of a car—now Li Qian was sure that it was not just a matter of familiarity.
It was the very familiar Great Wall trot.
So he stopped and sat in the car with the door half open.
And over there, the girl stopped again when she saw no one was coming, and looked up upstairs.
In the dark night, I can't see the expression clearly.
Li Qian got out of the car and slammed the car door. Although the distance was less than ten or twenty meters, the night was getting darker, and the old-fashioned community was unusually quiet. In front of him, with his back facing the road in front of the building, he seemed to be pretending to be fiddling with keys.
Li Qian walked over, locking eyes on her all the way.
After only a few steps, he was already convinced that it was her.
Of course, I don't know if she didn't notice the information of the vehicle here. It seemed that she didn't realize who the person was, except that she turned her face away as if to avoid the eyes of the person coming.
But think about it... that's right.
Wang Jinglu was not at home, so he either lived in Liao Liao's side, or in Yangquan Alley, or in Xie Bing's side. In short, the possibility of returning here to guard the vacant house alone was really slim.
Coincidentally, I just came back today. And came back suddenly at ten o'clock in the evening.
Li Qian walked over, looked at her handsome back, then stopped, and asked, "Why did you come here in the middle of the night?"
The familiar voice startled her, and she turned around in astonishment.
"Uh, I...I..." Seeing that the person who came was really Li Qian, her expression was extremely flustered, her eyes were full of disbelief, and then she was extremely embarrassed, "I...it's okay, I was just...running, and then, I ran to this community along the way."
Li Qian looked down at her high heels.
She is extremely sensitive at the moment, and when she saw this, she subconsciously looked down at her shoes, and then her face turned red—even at night, with only a little moonlight, Li Qian could still see her face clearly. embarrassment.
Who would wear a pair of five or six centimeter high heels for running in the middle of the night?
Blinking his eyes, Li Qian glanced at her car again, and said, "Since you're here, then... go for a ride?"
Wang Jingxue shook her head quickly, "No, it's too late, my mother should be worried later, I'd better go back."
Li Qian smiled, looked down at her high heels again, and asked, "Run back? Your home is more than ten miles away from here!"
Wang Jingxue immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.
Li Qian thought for a while, and said: "Let's go, let's sit at home, it seems that you haven't been here yet!" While speaking, he led the way to the corridor without waiting for her to respond.
When he walked away, looking at his back at this moment, Wang Jingxue suddenly remembered three years ago at the end of summer and early autumn—it was just that she was waiting for him in front of the building at that time, but now, it was an unexpected event. We should meet each other.
"I'm singer Wang Jingxue."
This sentence is still clear in my ears, as if I just said it just now.
Li Qian walked to the entrance of the corridor, looked back and said, "Come on!"
Wang Jingxue took a deep breath and stepped forward to follow.
…………
This is the second time Wang Jingxue came to Li Qian's home.
It's just that it was indeed Li Qian's home last time, but this time, it should be regarded as his sister's home.
The room was small and cramped.
Not to mention comparing it with Liao Liao's mansion and Zhou Mo's courtyard house, even compared with the house rented by myself and Xie Bing, they are all too small, but they are tidied up very warmly.
When the two entered the door, Li Qian changed his shoes by himself, and then gave her a pair of guest slippers. He went straight into the room and boiled the water first. When he turned around, he saw that she had changed her slippers, so he subconsciously She glanced at the high-heeled shoes she had replaced, frowned slightly, and said, "It's fine if there is a performance. In normal times, try not to wear such high-heeled shoes all the time. It is said that it is not good for your health."
"Uh..." Wang Jingxue hesitated for a moment, and said, "It was requested by the dance teacher."
After a pause, she explained: "We are dancing more and more now, and the range of movements is getting bigger and bigger, so the teacher said, if you want to make no mistakes or show timidity at critical times, it is best to wear it normally and get used to it." Do everything in high heels."
Li Qian smiled when he heard the words, and while waving his hands to greet her to sit casually, he said: "Yes, I heard Xiaobing said about your theory. You said that you want to step on high heels like walking on flat ground, right? Xiaobing also said, when If you don’t wear high heels, you won’t get used to it, and you’ve really mastered your training!” While speaking, he shook his head in disdain, and said, “Absurd!”
Wang Jingxue smiled and sat down with her head bowed.
Li Qian put together the messy puppet toys on the sofa, then sat down opposite Wang Jingxue, and asked, "Before I left, I heard from Xiao Lu that you were looking at the house? Did you buy it?"
Wang Jingxue raised her hands and brushed away the loose hair around her ears, still cautious, nodded and said, "I bought it. It's next to the neighborhood we live in, not too far away. I bought a small duplex apartment."
Li Qian nodded and said with a smile: "Well, anyway, you are definitely not short of money now, so you can change it if you want." It is suggested that you can find someone to help you choose a road section, buy a few shops for investment, or... simply pick a good house and buy a few more sets."
Wang Jingxue hesitated for a moment before saying, "Why buy so many houses?"
Li Qian replied in response: "Preservation and appreciation, you don't have any other investment channels. Houses, at present, will appreciate faster, especially in Shuntianfu. Anyway, it's more cost-effective than saving interest in your account. "
Wang Jingxue blinked, nodded, and said, "My mother recently... said the same thing and advised me to buy a house."
Li Qian smiled and was about to talk when the water boiled, so he took two cups in advance, poured a cup of water for each of them, and said while pouring the water: "Auntie still has an investment vision, better than the two of you." .”
Wang Jingxue smiled and stopped talking.
I didn't think before that even if I asked him for something, Wang Jingxue could find the downstairs of his house calmly and alone, and when he came back, she would introduce herself solemnly and say "I am singer Wang Jingxue", but for some reason, now, no matter what Whether it's in the company or meeting in private like now, she always feels a little unnaturally restrained.
Li Qian finished pouring the water, went back to the kitchen and put down the kettle, walked over and sat down and said, "I planned to make a solo album for you at the end of last year, but you know, I filmed that movie last year, so it was delayed." A lot of time, this year again... Well, so, depending on the situation, I will do it for you in the second half of this year, but after the album of your group comes out, it will probably be next year if it comes out."
Wang Jingxue nodded, and said, "No hurry, besides... I think if I release a solo album first for the three of us, will it be..." Halfway through speaking, she stopped, and Li Qian looked at her, He smiled and said, "Could it be something? Not very good?"
Wang Jingxue smiled again and lowered her head.
Li Qian stretched out his fingers to scratch his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Xiaobing won't be jealous, don't worry!"
Wang Jingxue looked up at him and smiled.
I don't know if it's because Li Qian was very relaxed and calm. At this time, Wang Jingxue felt that her mood seemed to relax a little bit, so she finally couldn't help but said: "Why... are you here again at this time? ?”
Hearing her question, Li Qian said "Ah" instead, "I almost forgot if you didn't tell me, I'll come back to get my things, and I'm going to visit Gansu tomorrow!" After a pause, he would get up before getting up, Ask: "Do you want to go together? If you want to go, I'll call someone to book tickets for you!"
Wang Jingxue opened her mouth and wanted to refuse. Not long ago, she went there with her mother to visit her little sister's class, but for some reason, she hesitated and couldn't say this.
After a while, she just said: "We are practicing dance recently, and we are going to go to Sister Runqing's concert. In addition, after Mr. Xie came to work, he confirmed that our new album will be released in September, so next we It’s time to prepare a new album.”
Li Qian said "ah" again, "Yes, Mr. Xie mentioned it to me and urged me to write a song quickly...then..."
Before he could say anything, Wang Jingxue suddenly said, "How many days are you going to go?"
Li Qian replied in response: "One day, go tomorrow, and come back the day after tomorrow. You know, the time is a bit tight recently. It's cooperating with others outside. If you don't want to procrastinate, you should hurry up and finish recording the remaining two songs." good."
Wang Jingxue hesitated for a moment, her increasingly violent heartbeat almost couldn't be restrained, she finally couldn't help but said: "Then... I'll go and have a look too?" After a pause, she added a completely unnecessary explanation, "I miss Xiaolu a little too."
…………
Li Qian said he wanted to send her back, but Wang Jingxue blushed and said that she could go back by herself, so Li Qian didn't say anything more. Anyway, although no one found it wrong, both of them knew in their hearts that her car was upstairs. It stopped at the bottom.
Even, to avoid her embarrassment, Li Qian simply didn't go downstairs to see her off.
After she left, Li Qian walked to the window with a glass of water, watched her walk to the side of the car, watched her get in the car, watched her start the car, and watched her drive the car away, holding the water glass that was still hot in his hand , took a shallow sip.
Outside the window, the night is just right.
