Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 20, Professional Matching [Seeking follow-up reading, seeking monthly votes]

"Have you watched the news recently?"

When they arrived at Zhou Xun's company's recording studio, the sound engineer had just been notified to work overtime and was on his way over. The three of them chatted in the recording studio.

Shen Lang asked back: "What news?"

Zhou Xun did not answer, but stood up and said, "I remember there is a magazine with relevant reports here. Wait a minute, I'll look for it."

After flipping through the pages for a while, he brought out two magazines.

Shen Lang took it from her.

Gao Yuanyuan was also watching with her big, curious eyes blinking.

The cover features Shen Lang and Na Ying.

The title is very eye-catching - [Breaking news! Queen Na Ying was beaten by newcomer Shen Lang and was completely defenseless! ]

Opening it, you will see a comparison of the two people's new songs on various charts.

Na Ying was completely defeated.

The mainland music scene has been silent for a long time, being suppressed by Hong Kong and Taiwan in various ways.

Now that there is some waves, the media is very excited and is reporting on this matter crazily.

It is extremely rare in the Chinese music scene for a newcomer to debut above a diva, and the result is that Na Ying was heavily criticized.

Shen Lang frowned.

This is not a good thing.

Although he didn't have any good feelings towards Na Ying, this contrast pushed him to the forefront and he could be submerged by the waves at any time.

"Oh, that's how the media is. They write whatever outrageous things they want. Na Ying won't take such news seriously."

"Yes, Shen Lang, you are a male singer and a female singer, and your tracks are also different."

The two women spoke up.

They are all people from the entertainment industry, and those who understand know what hype is.

Shen Lang's frown relaxed when he heard this. It wasn't a bad thing at least it attracted a lot of attention. He smiled and said, "She is a queen, she stands high and sees far. How could she care about a newcomer like me?"

Who cares? Even if she cares, so what?

Ultimately, the entertainment industry is all about strength.

Besides, she was not the only one who was suppressed. Two superstars, Andy Lau and Li Wen, also suffered defeat.

Zhou Xun looked at Shen Lang's deep eyes and said, "To be honest, the quality of your album is too outrageous. I feel like no one can do it."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled sweetly, showing her admiration without hiding it, and said, "Your 10 songs are equivalent to 100 songs of others. Picking any one is like 1 against 10. You have no chance of winning at all."

"Hey hey hey..." Shen Lang threw the magazine on the table, frowned and looked at them, and said: "I heard it, you are trying to flatter me to death!"

Zhou Xun said to Gao Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, do we have it?"

Gao Yuanyuan shook her head and said seriously, "Of course not."

After chatting and laughing for half an hour, the door of the recording studio was pushed open and two middle-aged men came in.

"Brother Qi, hey, why are you here, Mr. Liu?" Zhou Xun stood up and greeted him.

"I heard from Lao Qi that you have to work overtime to record a song today. I happened to be discussing something nearby, so I came over to see you." After Chen Yaochuan finished speaking, she looked at Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan beside her and felt that they looked familiar.

"These are my two friends, Gao Yuanyuan and Shen Lang." Zhou Xun went on to introduce them.

"Hello."

"Hello, Mr. Liu, and Brother Qi."

They greeted each other.

At this time, Lao Qi was the first to react. He looked at Shen Lang and said, "The little prince of radio love songs, Shen Lang?"

When did I get this title? Shen Lang smiled faintly and said, "It should be."

Chen Yaochuan also remembered that the 10 songs including "Ten Years", "Jiangnan" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" really shocked him.

Such a classic song was actually written by the same person, a 22-year-old young man.

To be affirmed by him, my strength is beyond doubt.

Chen Yaochuan, a famous musician in Formosa Province, is known as the "Pope".

The love song "Love You One More Day" he produced for Alex To in 1993 was a huge hit in Formosa Province, which made him famous in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music circles and among his fans.

Later, Andy Lau commissioned his manager to find him and asked him to produce records for him. He produced popular records such as "Forget Love Water", "Heaven's Will", "True Forever", "Lovesickness", "Chinese", etc., and established his position as a superb producer in the Chinese pop music scene.

"I've heard of your songs and deeds for a long time. Today I get to see you in person. You are indeed a talented person." "Mr. Chen, you are too kind."

Chen Yaochuan stared at Shen Lang again and again. With a height of 1.85 meters and a sunny and handsome face, he was the perfect material for the entertainment industry.

Who said that “there are no idols in the mainland music scene”?
This is not it!

After a brief chat, Zhou Xun went into the recording studio and started recording songs.

"When the wind stops, the clouds know; when love leaves, the heart knows..."

"I float and float, you sway and sway, rootless weeds..."

"If you don't care, just do it once and enjoy it!"

Four minutes later, Zhou Xun took off his monitoring headphones and asked Shen Lang expectantly outside the recording room, "Shen Lang, how was my singing?"

"There are no major problems overall, there are just some small details that need attention." Shen Lang has not been a music teacher for so many years in vain. Zhou Xun has many problems, so he said this to save her face.

Zhou Xun nodded and said, "You tell me, and I'll change it."

Shen Lang organized his words and said slowly: "First, you need to concentrate on the pronunciation, focusing on the philtrum. For example, for the line 'You are not what I expected, and you disturb my peaceful pace', you can try to sing it like this..."

He demonstrated it live.

Zhou Xun stared at him blankly and said, "Why do you sing so beautifully?"

Shen Lang smiled slightly and said, "You can do it too."

So Zhou Xun followed his instructions and exclaimed, "Really? I can feel the difference myself."

Chen Yaochuan looked at Shen Lang, his eyes full of curiosity.

There is something.

Just the change in pronunciation can make Zhou Xun's singing sound different and better.

Shen Lang continued, "Your voice is rather rough and hoarse, so you should tone it down a bit when singing, so that the song sounds like you are whispering, as if your lover is whispering in your ear."

When Chen Yaochuan released a single for Zhou Xun, many people in the company were not optimistic about it, thinking that Zhou Xun had a "broken voice" and no one would listen to her singing.

When he was a child, Zhou Xun was a member of the school children's choir, commonly known as "Little Lark".

Later, as I grew up and entered the voice change period, my voice gradually became what it is now.

If Yang Kun can sing, why can't she?

In fact, her cold and clean voice has a unique charm just like the characters she plays.

But you need to find a singing style that suits you.

This Shen Lang is a professional.

After adjusting a few details, Zhou Xun's interpretation of "Piao Yao" suddenly rose to several levels.

"Sister Xun, it sounds great!" After singing it again, Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but praise.

"That's it. It's perfect." Chen Yaochuan said excitedly.

As the composer of this song, he knows it best.

But Zhou Xun recorded it on and off for a month, but never achieved the effect he wanted.

And he didn't know how to help Zhou Xun.

This time he came to Yanjing from Formosa Province, he wanted to find a few friends in the circle, such as Zhang Yadong, Guo Liang, and Xiao Ke to give him some advice.

Before the plan was implemented, I heard from Lao Qi that Zhou Xun had to work overtime to record a song, so I came over to take a look.

As a result, Zhou Xun found an expert and recorded the song in just a few seconds.

Zhou Xun was very happy, and the way he looked at Shen Lang was different from before. He came out of the recording studio and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to Shen Lang. Without him, I don't know how long it would take me to sing this song well."

Shen Lang boasted in a businesslike manner: "The master can only lead you to the door, but the practice is up to you. Your musical comprehension is this..." and he gave a thumbs up.

And he also confirmed one thing.

The relevant professional abilities of music teachers have also been strengthened.

Just by listening to the other person singing, you can find the problems and quickly find the best solution.

Zhou Xun looked at him with a smile and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

"No need to argue, you are all very capable." Chen Yaochuan was in a good mood. He glanced at Shen Lang and said thoughtfully, "It's almost time for lunch. I will treat you all to a meal today."
