Chapter 4 Tool Man
Chapter 4 Tool Man
Six pm.
Just after the course ended, Lin Yuan received a message from Jian Jian: "Shall we have dinner together tonight? Xia Fan treats you!"
"No, I have something to do tonight, you and Xia Fan can eat."
While replying to the message, Lin Yuan stepped out of the school gate, and there was a red car parked by the roadside at the school gate.
"Long time no see, let's get in the car."
The left window of the red car was rolled down, a woman took off her sunglasses, smiled and waved to Lin Yuan.
"Hello."
Lin Yuan boarded the car after saying hello.
This woman is the manager Zhao Jue. She is thirty-five years old and has faint crow's feet around her eyes. When she smiles, she is approachable, but when she is not smiling, she is serious and calm.
"Lin Yuan."
Looking at Lin Yuan in the back seat through the pre-audition, Zhao Jue started the accelerator: "Your song seems to have no lyrics, do you need me to find someone to fill in the lyrics for you? There are only ten days left before the entrance of the rookie season."
"No, the lyrics are filled in."
"Then the arrangement... was composed by you?"
"Um."
"Okay." Zhao Jue smiled: "Do you know what is the core competition of the rookie season every November?"
"What is it?"
Zhao Jue drove the car and stared ahead: "The rookie season is a general term. In fact, what companies are really competing for is a list, which is our Qinzhou Music Rookie List. It's up and coming."
"oh."
This is nothing new.
Zhao Jue stopped in front of a red light, and turned to look at Lin Yuan: "Your song is good, if you can get a good result in November's new talent list, I can help you transfer the contract to the composition department .”
"Thanks."
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.
He wants to develop in the direction of a composer, which is also the major he is studying. He doesn't need to show his face like a singer, and he can gain the so-called recognition of the system.
Just then.
Lin Yuan heard the system's voice: "Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for triggering a new task."
[Task Name: The First Song]
[Task Content: Successfully recorded "Life Like Summer Flowers"]
[Task Reward: A Bronze Treasure Chest]
The last mission has not been completed yet, there is a new mission here?
Looking at the three lines of characters that appeared in front of his eyes, Lin Yuan was looking forward to the next recording. He hoped that the recording would be successful tonight.
...
half an hour later.
Lin Yuan came to Star Entertainment.
This is a high-rise building with a full fifty floors. Everyone is wearing professional attire when they come and go, and they wear the badges of different departments of Star Entertainment on their chests. The style of a large company is undoubtedly revealed.
"Hello, Miss Zhao."
Zhao Jue is the number one person in Xingmang, and many people greeted him directly. Zhao Jue only responded a little, and then took Lin Yuan to the recording studio on the ninth floor.
"Sister Zhao!"
Seeing Zhao Jue, a fat manager who had been waiting on the ninth floor hurried forward to greet him: "The equipment is almost ready for debugging."
"Where are your people?"
Zhao Jue looked around, only seeing the staff in the recording studio busy.
"that……"
The fat manager wiped the sweat from his brow: "There is a bit of a traffic jam on the road, so the newcomer hasn't arrived yet. I've urged that bastard several times! When he arrives, I'll definitely scold him severely!"
"Won't you leave early if you get stuck in traffic?"
Zhao Jue's eyes were very cold: "If you don't know how to bring a newcomer, you can bring someone else! From now on, the timer will start, and if the newcomer arrives in fifteen minutes, I'll sing with someone else. It's useless to give a chance!"
"Okay, okay..."
The fat manager smiled apologetically, his face was pale, and he took out his mobile phone with trembling hands to make a call to urge him. He had already scolded the late newcomer a hundred times in his heart.
At this time.
A woman dressed as an assistant came down from the elevator and went straight to Zhao Jue's direction: "Sister Zhao, the manager asked you to go there..."
"knew."
Zhao Jue rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache, the manager must be looking for him because of the New Talent List again.
I also blame myself for being too inflated.
Back then, he dared to issue a military order in front of the company's top executives.
Looking at Lin Yuan, the instigator with an innocent face, Zhao Jue felt that he had nowhere to vent his anger.
She could only suppress her depression, with a warning in her eyes, and said to the staff in the recording studio nearby and Fatty's manager: "The song was written by Lin Yuan, and the recording will be based on Lin Yuan's opinion, understand?"
"OK."
Fatty's manager and a group of staff in the recording studio immediately nodded to Lin Yuan behind Zhao Jue, obviously not daring to disobey Zhao Jue's order.
Lin Yuan also nodded in return.
...
Zhao Jue has something to leave.
The fat man's manager also went downstairs to make a phone call.
Lin Yuan and the staff waited for about ten minutes, and suddenly heard a burst of shouting and cursing from a distance: "As long as you are late for a while, you will not have a chance to participate in this year's rookie season, do you know that! In order to catch up with the rookie season How many years have you been waiting? I was also beaten up by Sister Zhao, who doesn't know that Sister Zhao has low pressure recently, and you are still hitting the muzzle of the gun..."
"Wrong, wrong, brother, I was wrong!"
A not tall young man nodded and bowed in front of the fat manager who just came downstairs, and apologized: "I really didn't expect to have the opportunity to debut this year! Don't worry bro! I promise to seize the opportunity today and not embarrass you Thank you for covering me and letting me get the company's last rookie season spot!"
"Stop talking nonsense, and prepare to record a song."
The fat manager turned around and pressed his temple hard, probably his blood pressure was a little high.
The young man breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off the sweat from his forehead, his expression was both nervous and excited, but when he looked up, he suddenly saw the boy staring at him in front of him——
"Lin Yuan?"
He walked a few steps closer, took a closer look at Lin Yuan, and after confirming that he had not admitted his mistake, he was immediately happy: "It's really you, why are you here? Oh, I understand, you are here to work part-time, right?"
Lin Yuan: "..."
He was seriously thinking about who the other party was. As far as the original owner's memory was concerned, this person was somewhat familiar.
The young man obviously didn't know what Lin Yuan was thinking.
He raised his head, puffed up his chest, and patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder: "You are worthy of being the best student in our vocal music department, and you can actually work part-time in Xingmang just in your sophomore year... Oh, this is Do you work in the recording studio? In this way, the senior and you can be regarded as half colleagues!"
He took out the thermos cup from his arms and handed it to Lin Yuan.
The young man waved his hand and said, "Go get the senior a glass of water first. I was exhausted from running all the way here just now, but it's nothing to be tired. After all, after recording this song, the senior is about to make his debut!"
Lin Yuan: "..."
He finally remembered who the young man was.
This person's name is Sun Yaohuo, a student of the vocal music department of Qinzhou Art Institute, who has already graduated.
The Vocal Music Department held an event, and there were repertoires for some graduates returning to school to perform. This is how the other party met the original owner, so he was indeed Lin Yuan's senior.
And because Sun Yaohuo is good, he signed a contract with Xingmang Entertainment right after graduation. The juniors of the vocal music department still admire Sun Yaohuo, a senior who has signed a big company and is likely to become a singer in the future.
Although Lin Yuan also signed with Starlight Entertainment, Lin Yuan has never publicized this matter. After all, his physical condition is very special, so only Xia Fan and Jian Jian knew about this matter, and no one else knew about it.
"What are you doing standing there?"
Sun Yaohuo smiled and said: "Go and help me pour water, the senior is still recording a song, you will also watch it later, learning from the experience will be good for you."
"good."
Lin Yuan went to pour water.
The faces of several recording studio staff around were strange.
As soon as Sun Yaohuo's fat manager turned his head, he saw Sun Yaohuo posing to Lin Yuan, and suddenly felt that his blood pressure, which had been so hard to lower, rose again:
"Sun Yaohuo, who are you with?"
He rushed up and slashed Sun Yaohuo on the back of the neck: "The song you want to sing is written by someone else, you have to call it Teacher Lin!"
Say it.
The fat man turned around and said to Lin Yuan who was collecting water, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, Sun Yaohuo's brain is not very bright..."
"Drink some water before recording."
Lin Yuan answered seriously, but didn't think there was anything wrong, and directly handed the thermos filled with water to Sun Yaohuo.
Sun Yaohuo received it blankly.
The fat man was still angry, and turned to reprimand him: "Be respectful to Mr. Lin, don't be too big or small."
"..."
Sun Yaohuo opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, he just felt his head was in a daze——
He is several years younger than me!
I...why am I not old or young?
The staff at the side suppressed a smile and said, "Newcomer, have you memorized the melody? If you memorize it, how about we follow the lyrics and find out how it feels?"
"I remember the teacher well."
Sun Yaohuo quickly replied.
The staff looked at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan said: "Then let's start."
After entering the shed, Sun Yaohuo began to sing according to the lyrics.
His level is still good, otherwise he wouldn't have been signed into Starlight just after graduation.
But Lin Yuan has the vocal music experience of the original owner, so the requirements will not be too low. If he wants to share the money with himself, even a tool person must show some level. He quickly discovered the disadvantages:
"The humming pause in the early stage was not natural enough."
This is what it means to do it all over again, Sun Yaohuo nodded.
The music started again, but was soon interrupted by Lin Yuan: "The articulation is too heavy, and the articulation is lighter, but the emotion can be stronger."
"good……"
Sun Yaohuo was a little awkward being played by his junior, always felt that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him, and those who were thin-skinned would be socially dead right now.
This may have affected his mentality somewhat.
So even though I recorded several times later, Lin Yuan couldn't be satisfied with the effect each time. In the end, Lin Yuan could only call a timeout:
"Take a ten-minute break and record again."
As far as the singing tool is concerned, it is no problem for Sun Yaohuo to complete this song. He has not sung it well, probably because he has a burden in his heart.
This is not a big problem.
Just adjust your mentality.
Sun Yaohuo heaved a sigh of relief, sat on the chair outside the shed, gulped down all the water in the glass.
As soon as he put down the water glass, he saw Lin Yuan take it naturally, and then went to the water dispenser to refill it for him.
Is this humiliating me?
Sun Yaohuo's voice was muffled: "That... learn... Teacher Lin..."
"Just call me junior."
Lin Yuan opened his mouth and put the water down.
Sun Yaohuo smiled awkwardly, after all he couldn't afford to turn his face on, he had waited too long for this opportunity to debut.
He just screwed on the lid of the thermos cup with a bit of uncomfortably hard force: "That... Brother Lin... so you can compose music..."
Lin Yuan explained: "I was ill before, which caused a problem with my voice. I transferred to the school's composition department in my sophomore year."
Sun Yaohuo was taken aback.
Immediately, he shook his head, sighed softly, and patted Lin Yuan's shoulder with sympathy and regret: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity..."
He said three "pity" in a row.
Losing your voice is a desperate thing.
He couldn't imagine himself not being able to sing.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Yaohuo realized that his behavior was a bit inappropriate, and he was too exaggerated.
The boy in front of him is no longer just his primary school brother, but the other party is a songwriter who has a certain power over life and death. This is why Lin Yuan was able to order him at will just now!
In other words.
If Lin Yuan insisted on kicking himself out and singing "Life Like Summer Flowers" with someone else, then he would have no temper, because his manager's attitude towards Lin Yuan already explained everything——
He had waited for several years for the chance to debut, and it was in the hands of his junior Lin Yuan.
Realizing this, he patted his shoulders, hanging in the air awkwardly.
"It's fine."
Lin Yuan didn't notice Sun Yaohuo's actions, of course he didn't care if he noticed, he just said seriously for the original owner:
"Thanks."
Sun Yaohuo was stunned.
Looking at Lin Yuan's clear eyes, he suddenly realized that the elementary school boy in front of him didn't have any thoughts of his own. He just regarded himself as a collaborator.
It's because my realm is too low.
After graduation, he has been in the company for a long time, although he has not yet debuted, but he subconsciously divides people into different positions and then matches them.
First of all, he regards himself as a senior who is about to debut, and thinks that such a self can show off, so even if the original intention is to take care of the other party, it can't help but be bossy and complacent.
Later, he treated Lin Yuan as his songwriter father, and unconsciously became inferior to others. He was always worried that the other party would manipulate him, so he had a humble attitude.
In fact, it's all because I think too much.
"Brother Lin!"
He took a deep breath, and dropped his hand to Lin Yuan's shoulder again, his movements were no longer stiff: "Let's start recording the song, this time I'm ready."
"OK."
Lin Yuan stood up expectantly.
Although I don't know why the tool man's senior suddenly showed great power, but the second round of recording went smoothly, Lin Yuan felt very satisfied, and even felt that it was right for the tool man to share the money.
After all, people have worked very hard.
At the moment the recording was completed, Lin Yuan also received a ding-dong reminder from the system:
