Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 32 Tank
The relationship between Komi and HIM Records is similar to that of GTV, and they are strategic partners.

Almost all of Komi’s TV drama soundtracks and artist albums are handed over to HIM Records.

The same is true for the soundtrack of "KO One", the theme song, ending song, and interlude were all packaged and given to Huayan Records.

After analyzing and studying the plot, Huayan boldly hired new singers to perform.

All seven songs decided to be produced for the soundtrack will be sung by newcomers without exception.

Among them, Wu Zhuo's band Fahrenheit needs to sing two songs. In addition to "Wandering Alone", another song "Ruzi Kejiao" will also be sung by Fahrenheit.

On the 12th, after Wu Zhuo and others finished recording "Wandering Alone", they started recording "Ruzi Kejiao" without stopping the next day.

"Tell me what you're thinking about"

"Tell me what you're thinking about"

"Tell me what you want to do most"

……

"OK, although there are still some flaws, but let's leave it at that!"

In the recording studio, as the producer's words fell, Wu Chao and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Calvin Chen even threw the lyrics in his hand into the air with a look of excitement on his face.

"Yeah...finally finished recording!"

Compared to the first song "Wandering Alone", both Calvin Chen and Wu Zun got several lines of lyrics for the song "Ruzi Kejiao".

The reason was that Xiao An was arranged to record "Lonely Heart" for another newcomer Lan Youshi, and Huayan arranged another producer Chen Xinyan for Fahrenheit.

Chen Xinyan was not as serious and strict as Xiao An. After learning that the four of them were a group, he evenly assigned lyrics to each of them.

His arrangement is definitely good for Calvin Chen and Wu Zun, two people who want to make their voices heard.

But it's a bit troublesome for recording.

When we recorded "Wandering Alone" before, because Wu Zhuo and Jiro Wang took the lead, the recording was very fast and was completed in one day.

As a result, when it came to "Ruzi Kejiao", the four of them recorded for three full days.

Wu Zhuo and Jiro Wang were fine, but Wu Zun and Calvin Chen were stopped and re-recorded after singing only two sentences.

During the three days, the two were constantly stopped and scolded, which made them gradually become silent from the initial excitement of being able to show their voices.

Last night, when Wu Zhuo went to the bathroom, he even heard Calvin Chen singing those lyrics in his sleep.

The greater the pent-up pressure, the more exciting you will be when it is released.

This is the case with Chen Yiru now.

The successful recording allowed him to let himself go immediately.

Wu Zhuo followed behind him, and seeing this, he couldn't help but smile and patted his shoulder.

"You sang well today. Keep working hard. It won't be long before you can avoid the situation you've been experiencing these days."

Wu Chao had no idea what to do about Wu Zun and Calvin Chen's singing problems.

All we can do is impart some experience to them in terms of techniques.

As for how far they can achieve in the end, that depends entirely on themselves.

"I won't keep holding back."

Chen Yiru replied with a firm look on his face.

In the past two days, he finally understood that he and Wu Zun were really dragging the team down.

He is still relatively good.

Wu Zun procrastinated even more.

He really can't sing. Even the new producer couldn't stand his frequent off-tune singing. During the last recording today, he chose to reduce his lyrics and gave the lyrics to Wu Chao.

But everyone understands what is going on with Wu Zun. Even if he sings really badly, it will not affect his position in the team.

But Calvin Chen himself is different.

If he keeps dragging his feet, the company might really kick him out.

What Chen Huiying said a few days ago about letting Wu Genglin replace him was not just to scare him, but it was really possible.

In addition, boys in their twenties have strong self-esteem.

Even though Wu Zhuo and Aaron Yan had no complaints about their hindering behavior.

But he would also feel embarrassed.

"After I learn Chinese well, I will spend more time practicing singing." Wu Zun, who was standing next to them, heard the conversation between the two and spoke up.

To be honest, among the few people, Wu Zun is the one who holds back, but it’s not entirely his fault.

First of all, he had no previous exposure to music and was a complete novice.

Secondly, his Chinese is not very good.

Many times, he couldn't understand the Chinese spoken by Wu Zhuo and others.

Fortunately, Calvin Chen and Nick Cheung speak pretty good English, otherwise the four of them might have had difficulty communicating.

"How about letting me teach you Mandarin? Compared to their Mandarin, my Mandarin is very pure and doesn't have a strong Taiwan accent."

Wu Zhuo asked with a smile.

He was a mainlander in his previous life and speaks standard Mandarin. If he were to teach, Wu Zun's Taiwanese accent would probably be much less.

"You're busy too, so forget it. I've hired a special teacher!"

Wu Zun shook his head.

Seeing this, Wu Zhuo did not try to persuade them any further. He and a few others took their things and began to leave the recording studio.

As soon as they walked out of the door, they met Tank and Lu Shiyu who took over their use of the recording studio.

Compared to Fahrenheit, they are from Komi and just signed a record contract with HIM Records.

Tanks are different.

He was discovered by Lu Shiyu himself and belongs to the pure lineage of Huayan.

It is said that in HIM's internal planning, Tank's competitors are talented singer-songwriters such as JJ Lin, Jay Chou, and Leehom.

Therefore, almost all of Tank's songs were produced by Lu Shiyu, the company's vice president.

If Fahrenheit wants to gain this level of attention, they may have to wait until KO One becomes popular and drives big sales of the soundtrack.

Of course, if Wu Chao is willing to give up and contribute his own songs, he may receive this treatment immediately.

"Mr. Lu!"

"Mr. Lu!"

Jiro Wang and his friends politely greeted Lu Shiyu and then made way for him.

"Mr. Lu!" Wu Zhuo also greeted him and then stepped aside.

I thought Lu Shiyu would go straight into the recording studio, but unexpectedly he stopped in front of Wu Zhuo.

"Azhuo, how about we make a deal? If you sell the song "Blue and White Porcelain" to the company, we can offer 700,000 yuan."

"Sorry, Mr. Lu, that is not for sale!" Wu Zhuo refused directly.

Huayan also has a good vision and immediately recognized this as one of the best quality songs among Wu Zhuo's songs.

But how could he possibly sell it? That’s “Blue and White Porcelain”!
Seeing Wu Zhuo's refusal without hesitation, Lu Shiyu opened his mouth, finally shook his head, turned around and walked into the recording studio angrily.

"Hello! I'm tank!"

Tank, who was behind Lu Shiyu, did not follow Lu Shiyu into the recording studio immediately, but took the initiative to reach out to Wu Zhuo.

"I know that you composed and sang the theme song and ending song of the TV series "KO One" that we starred in.

I listened to the theme song "KO One" you recorded in the studio yesterday, and it was very exciting."

Wu Zhuo smiled and shook hands with him.

The name tank may be unfamiliar to many people.

But when talking about his songs, most people born in the 1990s will probably remember who he is.

The songs he composed and sang, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Millennium Tears", were very popular from 06 to 07.

This is a talented creator whose peak period could be compared with people like JJ Lin.

Unfortunately, Wu Chao remembered that in his previous life, he was unable to handle the high-intensity work of a singer due to heart disease, and had to regretfully retire from the music industry.

I have to say that Lu Shiyu has a very sharp eye.

In the 1990s, Meng Tingwei and Valen Hsu were discovered, and in the 2000s, SHE was discovered.

If it weren't for tank's physical reasons, he might have been able to match Lin Wangzhou.

"I really like your song 'Blue and White Porcelain'. Are you really unwilling to give it up?"
