The recording schedule on Sunday morning is (rehearsal stage for inviting guest performers).
The four young people from mao livehouse's opening band followed Mao Zhiyuan to the "office building" early. Yan Qing, wearing a black and white color-blocked pullover sweater and a hood, debugged the equipment with them.
The two keyboards on the stage are loaded with accompaniment programs compiled by Yan Qing in advance:
A keyboard will be responsible for outputting the violin string harmonic accompaniment.
The other keyboard is responsible for a set of intro chimes and percussion harmony accompaniment in addition to the drum kit.
After debugging all the stage equipment, Yan Qing was preparing everyone to close it again, when out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of:
Zhou Peipei, wearing a slim-fitting white shirt and cropped jeans, has led Weng Huaijing into the entertainment bar.
Yan Qing also noticed that behind them, Shao Qing, who was wearing a dark gray suit and skirt, was chatting softly with Luo Bing at the door of the hall. Both of them looked very relaxed.
Weng Huaijing, who caught Yan Qing's eyes, was wearing a mid-length ballet tutu made of white gauze with lace hems and a neckline designed like a white lace necklace and a hollow shoulder.
Weng Huai's beautiful face was highlighted by two light blushes, and her long black hair, which reached just over her shoulders, was parted in the middle and slightly curled by perms.
"She actually has some light makeup on, so why do you think she's a little bit charming?"
The woman in front of him was ruthless and never looked down upon. However, Yan Qing couldn't bear any hatred. In addition, he had never faced Weng Huaijing, who was dressed up in a dress. At this moment, she was like a dazzling diamond, shining to Yan Qing.
.
…………
Zhou Peipei sent Weng Huaijing to the stage, then turned back to the rest area outside the camera and stood next to Shao Qing.
Weng Huaijing rolled his eyes at Yan Qing, who was still looking at her rudely. Seeing that he had no reaction, Weng Huaijing then took the corner of his skirt and walked around Yan Qing to get the microphone.
Yan Qing was lost in the quiet and soothing scent of rosemary, and suddenly a Cantonese voice came to her ears:
"It's a pity that I don't even like to sing for you."
Yan Qing came back to his senses and asked:
"What?"
No one responded to his doubts, and everything seemed to be just his own hallucination.
Weng Huaijing was already holding the microphone with both hands, standing gracefully in the center of the stage, as if waiting for the band and piano to practice together.
He then remembered that Miao Miao had said something similar to him before, but there was no time for him to continue thinking. Yan Qing noticed that Mao Zhiyuan, who was sitting behind the drum kit, had already raised his drumstick to signal that he was ready.
Yan Qing pulled the brim of the hood on his head, shook his head and sat back in front of the piano.
For this song "Light Chaser", the first time the singer, piano and band practiced together, there was an unexpected tacit understanding.
The effect was so good that Yan Qing felt like he was listening to a vinyl-quality recording studio work.
After repeating it three times in one breath, there was only a slight problem with the coordination between the two musicians and the drum set. They complained a few words to each other, and finally the program team was able to capture the necessary rehearsal adjustments.
As for Yan Qing's piano and Weng Huaijing's singing, after four performances together, there was no communication between them, but they had an excellent tacit understanding.
Liu Mingren raised his right hand to make a sign, and Weng Huaijing put down the microphone without saying a word, walked off the stage with his skirt in hand, and sat down on the sofa next to Zhou Peipei.
Yan Qing started arranging his own song. The beat had some changes. The intro added a watermark of the accompaniment he had always used in his previous life: "one world one yim". The watermarked vocals were naturally recorded by Miao Miao for him.
, Yan Qing did not notice that Weng Huaijing in the audience glanced at him when he heard the water mark.
Yan Qing made some modifications to some of the lyrics of "Li Sao", adjusting some rhymes that were not in line with Jianghu Liu and some memes that did not appear in this time and space, such as Saiyans, and then included the self-deprecating Hong Soo Hyun emoticon.
, and made a punchline with good effect.
After all, without the "You are so sexy" emoticon, you can still call yourself Lisa.
…………
For the performance recording in the afternoon, Dingxin generously invited five first-line singers from five record companies to serve as flying guests. Yan Qing saw Wang Wanxi, an acquaintance of Chutian Music.
The brokerage affairs of the other four are all represented by Dingxin. Shao Qing introduced them to Yan Qing one by one:
The male guest who successfully formed a team in the second episode of "Star Talk Silk Road" is the hip-hop king Jiang Tang from Modern Universe Records;
Under Xinghuan Music, the love song queen Jiang Baguio has five top singles on the Supreme Golden Melody Chart;
Duan Mengyuan, the gold medal singer and songwriter of UFO music;
Tian Xiaojie, a folk singer from Huahai International.
Wang Wanxi greeted Yan Qing familiarly, and did not forget to tell Yan Qing that she had finished recording "The Beginning of Autumn" and that her new album would be released soon. She asked him to give her opinions after listening, and Yan Qing agreed with a smile.
Jiang Tang dressed and acted in a typical hip-hop style. He reached out and bumped his fist with Yan Qing, nodded at Yan Qing and sat down directly.
Jiang Biyao, who was well maintained and could not tell her exact age, seemed to have a good relationship with Yan Qing. She reached out and took off the hood that Yan Qing put on her head, and looked at Yan Qing meaningfully, mouthing.
He muttered:
"Guess what our grandson said when we went out today. Let me ask you, kid, if you will develop into the music world in the future. Do you remember which way the backstage door of the Imperial People's Art Theater opens?"
"Of course I can't forget it. Please also say hello to Teacher Sun for me. Please don't worry, Teacher Sun. I'm just playing for fun, and I really didn't miss it."
Yan Qing reacted quickly and realized that this love song queen was the lover of teacher Sun Youzhi in his unit.
Duan Mengyuan and Tian Xiaojie were similar in age to Yan Qing. After shaking hands, they sat down directly under the guidance of Shao Qing.
In the sofa rest area behind the flying guests, there are also actuaries from the entertainment industry-focused accounting firm Bingwei and notaries from the Xicheng Notary Office in the Imperial Capital invited by the program team.
Just as the rehearsal went smoothly, the performance of the two songs during the performance was also highly praised and sought after by the flying guests.
Yan Qing took the stage first to sing "Li Sao".
Most of the lyrics in "Li Sao" have a Jianghu flavor, paired with a retro beat like the soundtrack of the old-school martial arts TV series "The Final Battle", and the flow carefully arranged by Yan Qing directly set off the atmosphere.
Yan Qing does not blindly pursue fast speaking, but steadily changes the speed and rhythm of his speech according to his own arrangement, with clear pronunciation, accurate sentence fragmentation, and flowing flow like flowing clouds and flowing water:
"The road is still walking, even if the shackles are on my feet
The steps were pulled but the sound was still loud
Not just for resistance this time for freedom and security
The thoughts of future children are the national treasure.”
…
"If my life is controlled by others
Then who else can express his sincere recitation?
If this is really the last blow, let me block it.
At least I was still dreaming about this dream when it faded away.”
…
“Diss, I’m so coquettish and my level needs to be improved.”
With roots in humanities and art, I am not afraid of the prince being replaced by a civet cat.
Even the executioner
Forcing me to walk on my knees and submit with both hands
"Li Sao" written to explain the meaning of my life.
…
This song "Li Sao" made Jiang Tang, an expert in the rap circle, so impatient that he stood up halfway. He raised his hands and his body continued to rhythm with Yan Qing's flow changes until the entire song was finished.
"What's up! Man, it’s so exciting! I heard Sister Qing said you wanted to do rap, and I thought you were here to play, but I didn’t expect that your flow skills are so good, and you can play double-bet and reverse-bet so smoothly, you can do it!
brother!"
After Jiang Tang finished his review, he turned to the camera and made a unique swag gesture. He sang with some excitement:
"Crossing the sword mountain for you
Walk with you. Walk with you through three levels.
"Li Sao"
Rivers and lakes
Yan Qing
Dope! Dope!"
Then Weng Huaijing's "Light Chaser" performed as steadily as in the morning rehearsal, and received unanimous praise from the flying guests.
Wang Wanxi, Tian Xiaojie, and Jiang Biyao immediately asked Weng Huaijing if he had any plans to release this song. Weng Huaijing hesitated, but nodded.
Shao Qing came out to explain the motivation for creating this song. For Xu Moer, a young fan, Weng Huaijing will at least release a digital single.
During the valuation process, professional actuaries from the accounting firm KPMG comprehensively referenced the evaluations of the five flying guests on the expected sales of the two songs, and gave respectively 8 million for "Li Sao" and 15 million for "Light Chaser"
valuation of operating output.
Notaries from the Xicheng Notary Office in the Imperial Capital notarized the valuation process and results.
After the performance recording was completed, Liu Mingren mobilized the camera team to seize the time to conduct a small dark room interview with the two main creators, which also meant that the entire recording work of the first episode of the program was coming to an end.
For the sake of the song "Li Sao" and other thoughts, Yan Qing carefully added materials to his small black room interview. When he finished answering Yi Li's questions, explained the post-processing plan, and came out of the living room,
It just so happened that Liu Mingren, Luo Bing, Shao Qing, Miao Miao, and Zhou Peipei were chatting in the corridor of the artist rest suite at this moment.
He heard Luo Bing speaking:
“We here at Whispers have assessed that the completion of the two works in the first phase is very high, and the effect of the program after the completion of the later period should be explosive.
But there is one thing. The original script was to record the excerpt of "Four Little Swans" from the second act of "Swan Lake" in the practice room. How come it was changed to..."
Luo Bing lowered his head and glanced at the script in his hand, and continued:
"Well, it's changed to the fifth act of "La Bayadere" and the solo dance excerpt from "Serenade"."
Shao Qing nodded and said hello to Yan Qing who walked next to Miao Miao, and then replied to Luo Bing unhurriedly:
"I also asked yesterday afternoon, and she said she could change it if she wanted. But on Wednesday we were recording the "Four Little Swans" at the Imperial Dance Academy, so I didn't think the problem was serious, so I left it alone, as you know
she…"
"Sister Qing?"
With the familiar scent and the cold voice, Yan Qing understood that it was Weng Huai who came out without looking back.
Shao Qing waved his hand knowingly, greeted Luo Bing and Liu Mingren, and did not forget to make a phone call gesture to Yan Qing, before leading Weng Huaijing and Zhou Peipei to leave first.
Yan Qing looked at the thin figure disappearing around the corner of the stairwell, silently writing down the details of the conversation between Luo Bing and Shao Qing.
The recording of the first issue of "Talent Co., Ltd." was finished. The scent of rosemary in the corridor slowly dissipated, but Yan Qing's thoughts gradually began to arise:
"Is it really just a love affair that has ended long ago and was kept secret throughout?
Why are you so familiar with Weng Huaijing’s timbre?
Why do they cooperate with each other tacitly despite little communication?
Why would Weng Huaijing say such words to herself in Cantonese during official joint training?
Why did Weng Huaijing change the content of his ballet solo?
Why has Weng Huaijing's already alienated attitude become even colder in the past two days?
Could it be that he did something unintentional that hurt her?
I have checked Weng Huaijing's resume before, and the only public film work she has made is "Black Swan", which was filmed while she was studying abroad in Mi.
Since returning to China in August 2015, she has been teaching at the Imperial Dance Academy and occasionally performing in ballets.
We have neither made a movie together nor released a song together, so when did this intersection happen?"
…………
Yan Qing discovered that the buried past seemed full of doubts.
