Chapter 182
The three people focused their attention on Chen Xi.
Chen Xi's eyes fell on the black and white keys of the piano.
Although the piano was not at a professional level, as an arranger, he had to be able to play conventional instruments!
He gently stroked it with his hands, picking up the past musical sense and recalling the melody.
《The arranger of"Nocturne" Mike Lin is a foreigner, so in addition to the main melody guitar and piano, the electronic drums in the nocturne are very obvious...
Especially"Besieged on All Sides", which has a lot of electronic elements. The arranger Mike Lin also guest-starred in a Korean rap...
Chen Xi thought, maybe a pure Chinese style song is needed...
Consider the present first...
With a light movement of his fingers, the piano melody from 19 years ago sounded...
It is still melodious, full of charm, and full of high-end feeling.
The prelude lasted for 25 seconds...
Director He, President Lu, and Dong Jie, their ears perked up, their eyes were straight...
The melody is fine, it is very similar to what Dong Jie played just now!
Chen Xi imitated Jay Chou's voice. There are so many lyrics, but once the accompaniment comes, he can sing it out.…
"A group of bloodthirsty ants…
"Attracted by carrion…
"I have no expression…"
"Look at the lonely scenery…"
"Losing you, love and hate become clear…"
"Losing you, what else is there to care about?…"
"When doves no longer symbolize peace…"
"I was finally reminded…"
"The vultures are being fed in the square.……"
Director He stared at Chen Xi, as if he had seen this person for the first time!
He had heard Chen Xi sing twice, the first time was"Boundless Oceans and Skies", and the second time was this"Nocturne", with completely different singing styles.
When Chen Xi was composing the song, he had already thought about how to express it, and was so detailed as to how to pronounce it and what singing style to use.
It's terrible, and it's terrifying to think about it!
Director He thought silently in his heart, no wonder Chen Xi was so persistent about who would sing it, he wanted to present it in the most perfect way, which was a respect and confidence in his own work!
Lu Huihuang was already confused, he never thought that the structure of the few lines of the song sung by Dong Jie was like this, even if the prelude was correct, he still thought Chen Xi made a mistake!!!
Resisting the urge to correct it, he looked at Dong Jie...
Dong Jie and Director Lu thought about the same thing, he concentrated all his attention on listening to the song, trying to remember one or two lyrics.
But because of the fast rhythm and pronunciation.
He listened and forgot... didn't remember a single word!
Fortunately, the chorus came!
"I'll play Chopin's Nocturne for you..."
Mr. Lu and Dong Jie breathed a sigh of relief. They had reached a familiar section. It looked like a song...
After singing the first chorus, Chen Xi stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.
If he played and sang at the same time, he would not be able to play it completely.
If he was not so familiar with the song, he might not even reach the first chorus.…!
"Teacher Chen, are you done singing?" Lu Huihuang and Dong Jie said in unison...
Chen Xi stood up from the piano and smiled,"About half of it. I'm not a professional singer. If I sing and play, my breath will always be a problem. I can only go here."
Lu Huihuang was unwilling to give up. He looked at Chen Xi for a while, then looked at Director He,"Director He, can you show me the simple score? I promise that before you release the song, only Dong Jie and I can see it. I swear!!"
After saying that, he also stretched out three fingers...
Director He was also fascinated. He could roughly imagine what it would feel like to sing"Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" and"A Man Should Be Self-reliant" by following the simple musical notation. But when singing"Nocturne"
, the simple musical notation seemed to be just to provide the lyrics...
Not to mention that Lu Huihuang wanted to see the simple musical notation, he himself wanted to hear what the complete version would sound like right now!
Seeing that He Nanting didn't speak, Lu Huihuang looked at Chen Xi again,"Chen Xi, why don't you teach Dong Jie a few more sentences? I really can't sleep well without listening to you all..."
Dong Jie also took a step forward and approached Chen Xi.
I really want to learn!
Chen Xi felt a little reluctant, but he came here with a mission.
Fortunately, Director He woke up and knew what he was here for.
Director He smiled and kept a low profile,"Mr. Lu, you just heard Chen Xi singing this song. I think it should not be much different from Dong Jie.…"
"Mr. He, you are too modest. I think Mr. Chen can handle this song. It will be a hit if he sings it! Isn’t that right, Dong Jie?!" Lu Huihuang spoke frankly and honestly, without any deliberate flattery.
Dong Jie also nodded,"I think Mr. Chen’s singing is perfect."
After all, Chen Xi taught him how to sing!
Director He sighed,"In fact, I talked to Chen Xi, but unfortunately he is not interested in this. He doesn’t want to be distracted. He wants to create more songs of our own and take back the market occupied by Hanliu little by little!"
After speaking, Director He looked at Chen Xi and smiled kindly…
In fact, this sentence was also said to Mr. Lu!
Past events came to his mind, and Lu Huihuang was in awe,"Some people like to stand in the spotlight and be the center of attention! Some people hide behind the scenes, unknown, but have lofty ambitions. Mr. Chen, I admire you!"
The two of them flattered each other, and Chen Xi’s face turned a little red. He glanced at Dong Jie, who was also looking at him in admiration.
"Mr. Lu, this... is too serious. Actually, I just don't like standing in the spotlight.…"
"Haha, modest and low-key, yet with lofty aspirations!" Lu Huihuang was generous with his praise, and after he finished speaking he returned to the topic,"Then Mr. Chen, can you teach this song to Dong Jie..."
Dong Jie had never heard Mr. Lu say so many idioms, and when he heard that he was talking about the song at the end, he looked at Chen Xi eagerly again.
Director He felt that it was about time, and looked at Lu Huihuang,"Mr. Lu, I want to ask you, do you have any plans for Dong Jie's future?"
"plan…?"
Lu Huihuang scratched his head. What plan? He didn't care about these things.
"Do you want him to continue to be a pianist in your company, or are you willing to give him a chance to realize his musical dream?"
Lu Huihuang was a little confused,"Mr. He, do you mean…?"After saying that, he glanced at Dong Jie.
Dong Jie was as confused as himself...
Director He coughed lightly,"Mr. Lu, when I heard Dong Jie sing this song, I felt that it had some charm, but compared to what Chen Xi sang just now, I think there is still some gap, what do you think?"
Lu Huihuang nodded,"Well, Teacher Chen's singing just now was more charming and smoother.…"
"But Chen Xi doesn't want to be a singer. I want to give Dong Jie a chance to try it. What do you think, Chen Xi?"Director He said this and glanced at Chen Xi.
Crosstalk, it takes two people to do it!
"I also think Dong Jie's singing style is quite suitable." Chen Xi supported the lead...
Lu Huihuang's eyes lit up and he immediately said,"Will Dong Jie have a chance to sing this song for the first time?"
Director He sighed and felt sorry for Dong Jie again
"But this song is very difficult to sing, and it takes a lot of time to communicate. The singer who recorded the song yesterday is one of the most valued singers in the company. If this song is eventually given to a singer from another company, I am afraid that the company's artists will collectively rebel, unless…!"
Lu Huihuang thought about this sentence,"Then..., what does Mr. He mean...? Let Dong Jie go to Xingguang Entertainment..."
Director He did not respond to this sentence, but pulled Lu Huihuang aside and leaned over to Mr. Lu's ear,"Mr. Lu, there is actually something I shouldn't hide from you."
Lu Huihuang blurted out,"Gala!?"
