LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 32 Invitation to Song
After answering the phone, Xia Haoyang was in a bad mood, but he was mentally prepared. He took a deep breath, and then walked out of the office to find Xiao Liu at the front desk to explain the third song.
In the next few days, the entire company revolved around Tara again. The production of the third song encountered more difficulties than the production of the first two songs. It was the treble part. Xia Haoyang felt that the matching was inappropriate. Others may not think there is anything wrong with it, but Xia Haoyang has heard the original version. The way the breath sounds makes me feel uncomfortable.
Today I recorded for another day, but I was still not satisfied. At around o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Haoyang gave up and asked everyone to rest. It is normal for professional musicians to be dissatisfied with a song they recorded over and over again. Everyone had no objection, but no one knew what Xia Haoyang wanted to feel.
"Fat man, you always say your breath is wrong, what's wrong? I don't feel the problem." Zhao Yishen asked.
"It's that way of speaking or singing, that kind of tone, anyway, it's the wrong way of breathing from the air chamber." The little fat man couldn't tell what the problem was, anyway, it just felt like the sound was wrong.
The other people really didn't think there was anything wrong with the smell, but they were not songwriters, so they still respected the opinions of the parties involved. If you're not satisfied, just grind it out slowly, and you'll always be satisfied. Recording songs is a boring thing in itself, and everyone can accept this.
The bosses had been communicating about songs in the recording studio. Suddenly, Xiao Liu at the front desk knocked on the door and walked in, telling everyone a bit of unexpected news.
"Chiyo Records, where EHS is located, wants to find Mr. Xia to make a singing appointment."
"Is there a fax? What are the requirements?" Big Brother Zhou Yuanhong asked.
"I just made a call and said that I wanted a piece of K-pop style music and wanted to ask Mr. Xia if he would accept the order." Xiao Liu at the front desk said.
Everyone is looking at Xia Haoyang. K-pop is a brand new style now. Although Tara's two songs performed well on the music charts, they are niche music after all. Now they are actually invited to sing, or is it for the EHS group?
Xia Haoyang didn't think much about it and smiled: "Take it and ask them to send a fax to make the request, and then Xiao Liu will make a contract. The price will be the same as before."
"Okay, I'll answer the call." Xiao Liu left the recording studio after saying that.
Xie Shujie patted Xia Haoyang on the shoulder: "Aren't you afraid of raising a tiger? EHS's singing skills are really outstanding. Aren't you afraid of being compared to Tara?"
"In terms of pure singing skills, we Tara can't compare. Our treasured Zhu Suya is defeated by others. But k-pop is not just about singing skills. What kind of girl group does it only emphasize singing skills? Go sing bel canto. Don't be afraid. ."
"So I not only write for EHS, but I write for anyone who comes to me. First, let this kind of music be better spread, and then let the audience choose which girl group they like more. I have never doubted Tara's confidence in this. "Xia Haoyang said firmly.
After getting the fax from Chiyo Records, there were almost no requirements on the subject matter of the songs. They only briefly introduced the vocal ranges of the next three singers and let Xia Haoyang perform. It can be said that the conditions are still very relaxed.
Xia Haoyang was thinking about which song to give them. He would definitely not give Tara's songs from the original time and space, not even one. He would not let anyone else sing Tara's songs, but the others didn't matter. EHS did sing well. , Well, there are also several groups in the original space that are good at singing, such as 2NE1, a second-generation group, and MAMAMOO, a fourth-generation group, and BLACKPINK.
Three people, and no dance foundation at all, eh? I feel that the songs of these people are not suitable. EHS's high notes are the highlight, but how can there be so many high notes in the girl group, singing and dancing at the same time? The breath, the pitch, that's not a mess. Treble? iu Ji Eun's "Good Day" for her? Okay, in order to increase the popularity of k-pop, give them an excellent song. Count them lucky, if they become popular, it will also be good for the spread of k-pop. You're giving them a discount, but no, you can't give them a discount, you have to pay more!
. . .
In the music director's office of Chiyo Records China, Mr. Wang looked at the lyrics and music written by Xia Haoyang in his hand, and even had arrangement suggestions.
The elegant Mr. Wang spoke: "Teacher Liu, you are our most outstanding composer. What do you think of this song?"
"To be honest, the melody of the song is cheerful and gives people the feeling of a musical. The three high notes at the end are the highlights, but they perfectly fit the sound quality characteristics of EHS. Although the lyrics are simple, they are originally an 18-year-old girl's longing for love. And the shy thoughts of the little girl are very cleverly described, which is very suitable for the melody of this song. I want to say that it is more than one level better than the two songs that Xia Haoyang gave to his girl group. In a word: good songs and good lyrics Great song, worth the price.”
"It's really suitable for EHS's vocal range. It can even be said to be specially created." Another songwriter named Yang also nodded.
"It should be specially created. The high pitch of this song is not suitable for her own girl group." Mr. Wang also nodded.
"These three high notes may not be very good among bel canto singers, but in the pop singer circle, it's not just cats and dogs who can do funny dances. The best singer in their girl group is Zhu Suya, who does funny things for fun. Can she sing this song well with her movements? We would not have given up on her back then." said the songwriter surnamed Yang.
"Okay, don't say this. Zhu Suya is still very good. Her crying voice and vibrato are very distinctive and attractive. In fact, she is very suitable to match our EHS, with loud high pitch + unique crying voice. The sound, the harmony must be beautiful." The elegant Mr. Wang was quite sorry that Zhu Suya could not join.
"But having said that, why did Xia Haoyang give us such a high-quality work?" asked Mr. Liu, the chief composer of Chiyo Records.
No one can give an answer to this point. Did you really write this song based on EHS’s voice? The problem is that you don’t have to give it to them if you write it. After all, everyone is in a competitive relationship. A work of average quality can be sold to peers at will. Generally, such a high-quality work will be frowned upon and SouSou will not be willing to take it out so generously. It is a singer who saves it for himself. Even if there is no suitable singer to sing now, it does not mean that there will not be in the future. This can be kept.
"Forget it, I don't want to go so far. Since Xia Haoyang gave it and also provided arrangement suggestions, let's give it a try. If it doesn't suit us, we can arrange it ourselves." The elegant Mr. Wang did not go into too much detail.
"Okay, I'll ask the production side to take care of this matter as soon as possible." Teacher Liu walked out with the lyrics and music.
. . .
What's wrong? Xia Haoyang is not a professional singer, but he just feels that his TARA is a little different from the original sound. Today he took a detour to the supermarket to buy groceries. Although he was alone, Xia Haoyang also cooked all the time and did not just buy takeout. Suddenly, I saw a young couple pushing and shoving each other at the entrance of the supermarket. The woman was crying and cursing in standard Korean dialect. The man occasionally replied with a few words, which was a mixture of Korean and Chinese.
After hearing their quarrel, Xia Haoyang understood what the problem was between his girl group and the original atmosphere.
