I'm unbeatable at extracting skills from celebrities!

"pull out!"

Without any hesitation, Jiangnan silently uttered the word in his heart.

Almost simultaneously, a tingling sensation spread from my abdomen to my chest, then to my throat and mouth, from bottom to top, followed by a burning pain.

To make a major overhaul of a singer's basic abilities... you always have to go through some pain.

Even though it was painful, Jiangnan was willing to endure it.

As a die-hard fan of Dou Wei and also a well-known music producer in the industry, Jiang Nan knows this guy's singing ability all too well.

The low C2 chest resonance is solid and not weak; throughout "Tomorrow is Longer", the low bass notes are sustained with a strong throat pressure, which is rarely seen among rock singers of the same period.

His high A4 is his comfort zone. In "No Place to Hide", he repeatedly uses A4 long notes for a long time without straining or cracking his voice, and his timbre is consistent. His use of balanced mixed voice is extremely mature.

The chest cavity is primarily for heavy rock; the head cavity for clear high notes; and the throat cavity for psychedelic whispers. Dou Wei can switch freely between these three vocal registers without any obvious breaks.

Putting everything else aside, if Jiang Nan had his singing skills in his previous life, he would have been incredibly famous long ago and wouldn't have needed to hide behind the scenes as a music producer.

Didn't you see that just because the mainland music scene produced a guy who could hit high notes, some music critics have been praising him to the skies?!

Some people might ask:

"Jiangnan, since you're a fan of Dou Xiao's songs, don't you feel guilty about praising his singing skills?"

Guilt…

A little bit!

Fortunately, this skill can be regained through training.

Take Feng Xiaogang, for example. Today he started flattering Wang Shuo again. Although he wasn't as smooth and natural as before, as long as you're thick-skinned, you can always take the first step.

Take Wang Xuebing, for example. Yesterday morning, under the supervision of his class teacher He Bingzhu, he began his dialogue training. Although his current dialogue level is similar to that of the freshmen in the 93 acting class, as long as he works hard, he will eventually be able to regain his previous form.

I believe Dou Wei felt the same way.

It's a bit of a shame, though, that this guy probably won't train anymore. Starting with the album "Black Dream," he completely abandoned his previous singing style.

Later on, Dou Wei's songs even lost their lyrics.

Thinking about this, Jiangnan couldn't help but feel a little sad!

"Cough cough cough..."

The coughing started suddenly.

Only then did Jiang Nan realize that he had been holding the beautiful woman's hand for far too long.

"Hehe... sorry!"

As a seasoned pro at navigating the world of women, Jiangnan handled this minor embarrassment with ease.

"I'm sorry, Sister Xin!"

"It's mainly because you're so beautiful that it gave me the idea to ask you to star as the female lead in my music video."

"Hahaha…"

  

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xin smiled brightly, and the slight annoyance she felt from being shaken by Jiang Nan for too long vanished instantly.

"Jiangnan, you want to invite me to star in your song's music video? Sure, but your song sales have to keep up too."

If the song disappears from the charts after it's recorded, haha, I won't even have a chance to appear in your music video.

Jiang Xin, a straightforward Shandong native, patted Jiang Nan on the shoulder and walked into the Baihua Recording Studio.

As for the others in the rock music scene, they had already been admitted long ago.

……

"Jiangnan, why are you only arriving now?"

As Jiangnan entered the recording studio, he was just about to check where Chen Jiantian was when the guy rushed out of the rehearsal room.

"Something came up on the way, I was delayed!"

Jiang Nan doesn't plan to disclose the song copyright registration issue proactively until the very end, when it's impossible to hide it any longer.

"Jiangnan, I have three things to say..."

Perhaps out of anxiety, Chen Jiantian didn't ask Jiang Nan what happened on the road, but instead went straight to the point:

"First, give me your ID card. The Red Star Production Company will help you apply for a passport to go abroad. This is something Wang Fei asked me to do. As for the reason, you can ask her."

Second, I've invited some of the top musicians and artists in the industry to co-produce your first song, "Single Love Song."

The musicians are: Lao Wu (arranger), Zhao Muyang (drummer), Dou Peng (keyboardist), Li Yanliang (guitarist), Zhang Ju (bassist), and Dou Wei's sister Dou Ying, Dou Peng's girlfriend Zhou Xun, Dou Wei's girlfriend Jiang Xin, Li Yanliang's girlfriend Han Hong, and Ding Wu (lead singer of the Tang Dynasty band).

These people are very expensive, and they charge by the hour.

The billing starts the moment you enter the rehearsal room, so make the most of it. But don't be nervous, I have faith in your abilities.

Third, "Single Love Song" was recorded today, and tomorrow I will take the master tape back to Hong Kong. It will then be promoted on RTHK, RTHK Taiwan, and several radio stations in mainland China to generate buzz for your new album.

"..."

Chen Jiantian was speaking, and Jiangnan was listening.

I felt a bit emotional while listening to it.

To ensure the success of Red Star Production Company's first song, this guy really went all out, inviting top-tier musicians from Beijing's rock music scene.

With such an amazing lineup, if you were to record a song after 2000, you simply couldn't do it without 20 yuan.

"Jiangnan..."

"Um?"

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Chen Jiantian asked.

"I'll say 2 o'clock!"

As he spoke, Jiangnan took out his ID card from his wallet and handed it to Chen Jiantian. A passport was required for going abroad.

Now that Wang Fei has helped, that's a good thing.

"First, let's forget about having Lao Wu do the arrangement. I can do it myself. That way, we can save some money for our company."

Second, the first song I recorded today is not "Single Love Song".

"If it's not a single's love song, then what is it?" Chen Jiantian asked in surprise.

Jiangnan has an extremely strong ability to arrange music. Chen Jiantian knew this on his first day at the Red Star Production Company, but he was very surprised that Jiangnan did not sing "Single Love Song".

Red Star Production Company is a small company without its own record distribution channels. It has to rely on PolyGram Records. However, if it relies on other companies' distribution channels, the album must be recognized by those companies.

Just like now, what people actually appreciate is "Single Love Song"!

"It's a rock-style love song called 'Walking Nine Times on Zhongxiao East Road.' When you take it to Hong Kong and Taiwan to promote the song, don't emphasize that it's sung by a mainland singer."

"Yes, it's best to keep it a little mysterious!"

After saying that, Jiangnan walked towards the rehearsal room.

This was something he had planned long ago.

Currently, the music market in mainland China is still sluggish. For example, Wang Fei's album "Stubborn to the end" sells for HK$45 in Hong Kong, NT$120 in Taiwan, and only RMB8 in mainland China.

In this situation, if Hong Kong and Taiwan fans mistakenly believe that "Jiangnan" is a singer from Taiwan, it seems that the music album would sell better locally.

How can I make the fans misunderstand?

It's actually very simple, just like the song "Walking Zhongxiao East Road Nine Times"...

※※※※※※※※※※※

"Brother, did you really break up with Fei?"

In the No. 1 rehearsal room of Baihua Recording Studio, hiding behind the crowd, Dou Ying tugged at the clothes of Dou Wei, the singer of love songs, hoping to get a definite answer from him.

"We broke up!"

Dou Wei was very happy and felt relaxed.

It's not that Wang Fei is unattractive, or that we don't have anything in common, it's just that this beautiful woman makes me feel like her approaching me is a conspiracy.

That's right, it's a conspiracy!

After meeting her, Black Panther broke up; his love with Gao Yuan was gone; and even Jiang Xin and Wang Fei didn't want to let him go.

"But Fei-jie and I have a very good relationship!" Dou Ying was a little discouraged. Her older brother was too unhelpful. It was clearly a very good match, but he just wouldn't make a move.

Just as Dou Ying was wondering whether she should try to persuade her older brother, a handsome young man walked in from outside the rehearsal room. He was holding a dozen or so A4 sheets of paper and started handing them out, saying:

"Hello, Teacher Zhao Muyang. This is the first song we're going to record. It's called 'Walking Nine Times on Zhongxiao East Road.' Here's the drum score. Please take a look and see if there's anything wrong with it."

"Hello, Mr. Dou Peng. I heard from our boss, Mr. Chen, that you are the number one keyboardist in the music industry."

"Hello Zhou Xun, this is the lyrics and sheet music for the song. I have marked the parts that require your harmonies."

"Hello, Sister Jiang Xin. Everyone says you are the number one female rock singer in China. I am so honored to have you sing harmonies for me today."

"Hello Mr. Li Yanliang, this is the guitar sheet music for this song, which I arranged. Please take a look, and if there are any suitable parts, we can make further changes."

...

To avoid wasting money, Jiang Nan walked into the rehearsal room and took out a thick stack of A4 papers from his crossbody bag, which he had prepared before coming over.

After everyone rehearsed the score a few times, they were basically ready to go into the recording studio. However, at this moment, one person in the rehearsal room was not in a good mood.

"Jiangnan..."

"Fifth Brother, please speak!"

"You look down on me?"

Or perhaps Boss Chen is playing a trick on me. He's the one who invited me to compose the music for your song, but you've already finished it.
