Chapter 139 Preparing for the Album
Small ÷ Said ◎ Net 】, ♂ Small ÷ Said ◎ Net 】,
Zhao Wanqing has been making albums these days, so Xiao Yunhai sent her directly to Tian Lai Records, and then he and Dong Piao Piao came to Tianhua Company.
Su Yingxue had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing the car stopped, she hurried over and asked Xiao Yunhai, "Are the manuscripts ready?"
Xiao Yunhai nodded, and gave Su Yingxue all the drafts of the ten songs he had prepared from the car.
Su Yingxue took the manuscript and said to Dong Piao Piao, "Piao Piao, go back to rest first. There is an advertisement to be shot tomorrow."
"Okay, Sister Xue. Brother Xiao, then I'll go first."
"Go back quickly. Brother Meng, pay attention to safety on the road."
After sending Dong Piaopiao away, Xiao Yunhai and Su Yingxue came to the office of Wang Lin, the music director, and handed over the manuscript to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin didn't open it immediately, but said with a smile: "Yunhai, your existence last night was really great. No wonder Old Monster Yue has been full of praise for you these past two days."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "This song can have such a good live effect, I really want to thank Teacher Yue for his help."
"If you want to thank me, you can give me your album to help you make it."
The voice of Yue Changting sounded outside the door.
He learned from Wang Lin yesterday that Xiao Yunhai was coming over to hand in the album manuscript today, and he has been paying attention silently. So as soon as Xiao Yunhai arrived, he immediately killed him.
Wang Lin pointed at Yue Changting and said with a smile, "You old fellow has a long nose, so you came here so soon."
Yue Changting rolled his eyes and said, "I don't have time to argue with you, hurry up and show me the manuscript. Forget the old songs, I want new ones." He grabbed two manuscripts in his hand, which happened to be "Fireworks Easy to Cold" written by Xiao Yunhai.
"The sound of prosperity escaped into the empty door and smashed the world, and the dream was cold, and there were several love debts in a lifetime. If you acquiesce, life and death are dead, etc., and wait for the annual rings!"
After reading the first paragraph, Yue Changting's eyes lit up and he said, "What exquisite lyrics. Is the style of this song the kind of Chinese style you created."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Yes."
Yue Changting praised: "Well written.
"
Wang Lin was still watching Xiao Yunhai's "Existence", and when he heard that Old Monster Yue, who has always been known for his strictness, highly praised this song, and it was still in the Chinese style, he couldn't bear his temper and came to his side. looked up.
After reading the lyrics, Wang Lin sighed: "Fireworks are easy to get cold, and personnel are easy to separate. It's really strange that you can write such lyrics at such a young age."
Yue Changting frowned and said, "Is your song adapted from a story? I seem to have some impressions. Jialan Temple listens to the sound of rain and looks forward to eternity, Jialan Temple"
Thinking of this, he stood up abruptly and said excitedly, "Is it the love story in Luoyang Jialan Ji?"
Xiao Yunhai gave Yue Changting a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Yue is really amazing. He has even read such rare literature books."
Yue Changting looked at Xiao Yunhai in shock and said, "You are truly a genius. Pharaoh, I want to be the producer of Xiao Xiao's album."
"No, this album already has someone." Wang Lin categorically refused.
Yue Changting's eyes widened, and he pointed at Wang Lin and scolded: "You fart. Tell me, besides you and me, who knows that Xiao Xiao is here to submit the manuscript."
"Right? You're right, no one knows except you and me."
Yue Changting was stunned for a moment, and then said with a face full of surprise: "You want to be the producer of this album."
Since Wang Lin took the position of music director, due to his busy work, it has been rare to see him make an album for any singer.
The most recent one was at the beginning of last year. At the request of Cao Huaqiang, the vice president of the company, Lin Yuying made an album of "Endless Love", which sold more than 6 million copies. . Unexpectedly, Xiao Yunhai's songs have aroused such strong interest in him.
Wang Lin said: "That's right, it's me. I don't trust this album to others."
Yue Changting snorted and said, "If you come to make this album, then I will take a leave of absence and go back. You can replace your work with whomever you want. Anyway, I won't take your class."
"You...you...you old monster Yue, the older you get, the more shameless you are. You can even use this kind of trick."
It turned out that in Tianhua's music department, apart from Wang Lin and Yue Changting, the others who were able to hold up the scene were all short of Huohou. Therefore, whenever Wang Lin has something to do, he always entrusts the work to him. But now, Yue Changting was about to quit, and Wang Lin had no choice. He can't just ignore everything like Yue Changting.
Seeing Yue Changting's firm gaze, Wang Lin finally said helplessly, "Okay, you won."
Hearing Wang Lin's words, Yue Changting finally showed a satisfied smile, and continued to look down at other songs, nodding constantly while watching.
Although Su Yingxue doesn't understand music, it can make the two strongest music producers in the company almost fight, which shows that these songs of Xiao Yunhai are definitely top-notch songs. Otherwise, they won't be able to get into their eyes.
Half an hour later, Su Yingxue and Xiao Yunhai came out satisfied.
The efficiency of Tianhua Music is very fast. Just after the review was completed, the work started immediately in the afternoon.
The first is the recording of the song. In the morning, Yue Changting found someone to make the accompaniment of "Lanting Preface" and "Fireworks Easy to Cold". The accompaniment of other songs is also under intense production, and it is estimated that they will be completed in less than two days. .
When Xiao Yunhai found Yue Changting, Yue Changting was discussing matters with a recording engineer.
Seeing Xiao Yunhai coming over, Yue Changting introduced: "This is Yang Lu, the best recording engineer in our company. He just came back from studying in the United States. Even though he is only 30 years old, he is definitely not good at it."
Xiao Yunhai and Yang Lu shook hands and said, "My album is going to trouble Brother Yang.
Yang Lu laughed and said, "I've seen those songs you've created, it's really great. No wonder the circles say that Yunhuang's productions must be high-quality products. With the quality of these songs, as long as the company is promoting a little, there will definitely be one. The potential of the king of war, if you get it right, you might be able to seal the emperor in a war."
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of Brother Yang's jokes, my minimum goal is 8 million sales."
Yang Lu was startled, then laughed and said: "Okay, I like a confident singer like you. Young people, you should have the momentum of giving up on me."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and record the song." Yue Changting interrupted the two and said, "Yunhai, which song do you want to record first?"
Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Let's record the Lanting preface first. Fireworks need a mood, so let's put it in the back."
"Okay, let's start then."
With Xiao Yunhai's singing skills, the recording of Lan Ting Xu was not difficult. Even with Yue Changting's nit-picking strictness, Xiao Yunhai only sang it three times.
Yang Lu gave Xiao Yunhai a thumbs up and said, "Amazing."
The second song "Fireworks Easy to Cold" is not so simple.
This is a song with a strong sense of substitution. To sing it well, Xiao Yunhai must devote himself to the artistic conception world of "Fireworks Easy to Cold". Only in this way can you touch the hearts of the audience.
Xiao Yunhai sang it twelve times in a row, but he was not satisfied. In fact, according to Yang Lu's standard, he could have passed it long ago. Even Yue Changting said it was already very good, but Xiao Yunhai, who was striving for perfection, just disagreed, he felt that he could sing better.
Xiao Yunhai didn't stop until Yang Lu's eyes turned red for the last time.
Yang Lu looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "The two songs only took less than two hours. This is the first time I feel so relaxed. Yunhai, your singing skills are definitely as good as those of the kings and queens. I will cooperate with you. , it feels great."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Then I will thank Brother Yang, your words are the best compliment to me."
In this way, Yue Changting, Xiao Yunhai and Yang Lu spent three days recording ten songs, and the rest is post-production. These are all done by special staff, but Yue Changting was still worried and supervised there himself.
When the news reached Wang Lin's ears, he almost exploded his lungs. After recording ten songs in three days, are you Yue Changting joking?
He angrily found Yue Changting and scolded him with a bloody head. Yue Changting argued for what it was, until he listened to Xiao Yunhai's recorded song from beginning to end, and that dispelled Wang Lin's anger.
The day after the song was recorded, Xiao Yunhai received a call from Yue Changting, saying that the post-production work of Lan Ting Xu had been completed, and he was ready to start shooting the MV for "Orchid Pavilion".
The mv of this song was decided after many discussions between Xiao Yunhai and Yue Changting. In order to match the artistic conception of the song and make the song more perfect, the two had no idea how many times they quarreled. Finally, with Wang Lin's strong intervention, the final version was determined.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yunhai came to the shooting location. At this point, the staff has already started to set up the aircraft.
Although it was only a MV shooting, in order to make it perfect, Yue Changting specially invited a well-known director Lu Pengfei from the company.
He was originally a director of TV dramas, and his strength was good, but unfortunately his luck was really bad. After two consecutive TV series were broadcast, he encountered phenomenal opponents. .
Lu Pengfei was a giant man eight feet tall, with an almost eight-foot waist. His whole person was like a mountain of flesh, and he smiled like a Maitreya Buddha.
After he saw Xiao Yunhai, he quickly greeted him and said, "Xiao Yunhai, you are here."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Director Lu, we will work together next time."
Lu Pengfei laughed and said, "It's a pleasure to work with."
The first thing to shoot is a song by Xiao Yunhai. He has to change positions in many places in the house to complete his singing, and at the same time he has a sad expression on his face.
This is really too simple for Xiao Yunhai, who has superb acting skills.
When the set was finished, Xiao Yunhai saw his partner Liang Yunan. She is a newcomer who has just signed into the company. She is about the same age as Xiao Yunhai. She has a beautiful face and has a strong classical atmosphere.
Xiao Yunhai was very satisfied with this junior sister, and after a little communication with her, the MV shooting officially started.
The previous shootings were all shots of Xiao Yunhai alone. With Xiao Yunhai's strength, it was basically a one-off shot. The only time I was stuck was because the props were not placed properly.
Lu Pengfei was very happy about this. He has filmed mv for so many singers, Xiao Yunhai is the most worry-free for him, no matter what kind of requirements you have on him, Xiao Yunhai can make it perfectly for you.
But the next cooperation with the younger sister Liang Yunan was not so smooth.
She is a budding singer who has never acted before. She feels uncomfortable in front of the camera, with a single expression and blushing at every turn.
This made Lu Pengfei very dissatisfied and severely reprimanded her.
But when Lu Peng flew over like this, Liang Yunan was also at a loss.
In the end, it was Xiao Yunhai who was patient and taught Liang Yunan how to move and how to perform. Only then did the first scene finish.
Surprisingly, after the first scene was filmed, Liang Yunan seemed to be enlightened all at once, successfully filming several scenes in a row, and the shooting progress immediately accelerated a lot. This made Lu Pengfei very happy.
The next afternoon, their MV filming finally came to an end. In order to thank Xiao Yunhai, Liang Yunan invited him to a meal, but in the end it was Xiao Yunhai who paid. After all, Liang Yunan is just a newcomer, and he doesn't have much money on his hands.
In this way, Xiao Yunhai filmed for ten consecutive days, day and night, with the crew and board, and soon, he became one with everyone.
While Xiao Yunhai was recording the album in full swing, Zhang Xuedong, deputy general manager of Tianhua Film and Television Media Company, was talking to a young man in his thirties.
