I'm unbeatable at extracting skills from celebrities!

["Jiangnan..."]

"Sister Tao, what is it?"

"I'm getting a divorce from your brother Yao. We'll finalize the paperwork this month. Do you have anything to say?"

"Can we not get divorced?"

"He wanted me to stay home, have children, and raise them, away from the stage, but I felt that wasn't the life I wanted."

"..."

"Jiangnan, my mother was sick a while ago, and you went back to Huainan to take care of her for three months. I think you are much better than my brother."

How about this?

Let's get married!

You advocate freedom in your music, while I yearn to shine on the national television stage. Our union is a perfect match.

"So, what do you think? Have you considered it?"

"Hehe... Sister Tao, you're kidding me, right? You must be joking with me."

……

In the main recording studio of Baihua Recording Studio, Jiangnan finished recording the music for "Walking Nine Times on Zhongxiao East Road" and then sat in the rest area to rest with his eyes closed.

Before, I spent my whole life as a music producer!

Jiangnan naturally knows that whether a song can move fans doesn't depend on the singer's fame, how high their pitch is, or how beautiful the melody is...

It depends on whether the singer puts real emotion into the song.

Therefore, before recording the vocals, Jiangnan had to find real experiences from his memory that matched the mood of the song.

In this way, recalling one's own relevant experiences during song recording makes it easier to achieve the state of "controlling the song with emotion."

"Walking Nine Times on Zhongxiao East Road" tells the story of regrets in relationships, and similar regrets in relationships also exist in Jiangnan.

My past life, winter of 2001

On a snowy night, Jiangnan, who had already gained some fame in the music industry, had just returned to Beijing from Huainan.

Jiangnan handed over the local specialties he brought from his hometown to Brother Yao and was about to take a taxi back home when Zhou Tao, who had already gone to bed, hurriedly chased after him.

Then they walked along the long street for a full hour, and for most of that time, neither of them spoke.

It was only when they returned to the entrance of the residential complex where Zhou Tao lived that the beautiful woman revealed her true feelings.

"I'm getting a divorce?"

I want to marry you, will you?

To be honest, Jiangnan was a little confused at the time.

I've been a womanizer for years, and I've been with at least eight, if not ten, girls...

Now you're saying you want to marry me? Are you kidding me?!

Whether it was Jiangnan's frivolous attitude that provoked Zhou Tao, a month later, she divorced Yao Ge; two months later, she returned to Huainan with a successful businessman to meet her parents; two years later, she married that successful businessman in the capital.

On the day of the wedding, Jiangnan didn't go; she just sat alone on the Yinding Bridge in Houhai.

What is regret?

Perhaps this is it?

"Hey, what are you thinking about, little brother?"

The sound came suddenly. Jiang Nan was reminiscing about the past and preparing his emotions when he felt someone touch his arm. He opened his eyes and saw Dou Wei's girlfriend, Jiang Xin, holding a bottle of mineral water and handing it to him.

"Thanks!!!"

When the water was brought over, Jiangnan paid special attention to the bottle cap of the mineral water. Seeing that it was intact, he twisted off the cap and took two sips to moisten his throat.

"Haha... quite cautious!"

Jiang Xin smiled happily, pulled up a chair, and sat down next to Jiang Nan.

"There's a performance in Qinhuangdao on the 20th, organized by people in the industry, kind of a rock concert. Why don't you go check it out?"

"I can't go!" Jiang Nan refused very decisively.

Why?

"I'm still a freshman at the Central Academy of Drama, and I have to attend classes," Jiang Nan's reason was irrefutable.

"Haha, sorry, I forgot," Jiang Xin said, scratching her head.

"I only knew you were Wang Fei's boyfriend, but I forgot that you also have a student status."

From the moment they first met, Jiang Xin began to say that Jiang Nan was Wang Fei's boyfriend, to which Jiang Nan did not deny it.

Yes is yes, no is no, why explain so much?

"By the way, are you actually Wang Fei's boyfriend?" At this moment, Jiang Xin seemed to remember something.

"Anyway, this is what Wang Fei told Dou Wei: 'I dumped you, I fell in love with a boy from the Central Academy of Drama. He's better looking than you, more talented than you, and also very gentle and caring.'"

"Um…"

Turning to look at Jiang Xin, who was getting more and more excited with the conversation, Jiang Nan frowned, thinking, "Can you stop being so gossipy? Be careful of a photographer named Gao Yuan."

Before he could even finish speaking, a slightly excited Chen Jiantian walked in from outside the lounge.

"Jiangnan, two things..."

First, it's only 5 p.m. now. Lao Wu, Zhao Muyang, Dou Peng, Zhang Ju, and others are all here. Let's take advantage of this time and record "Single Love Song".

That way, I can fly to Hong Kong tomorrow morning with the master tapes of the two songs to discuss a collaboration with PolyGram.

Second, hurry up and go to the recording studio. Ding Wu, Zhou Xun, Han Hong, Dou Ying, Zheng Jun, and others are all waiting to sing harmonies for you.

If the lead singer doesn't record, the harmonies can't be synchronized.

"Um…"

Jiang Nan paused for a moment, then immediately opened his crossbody bag and took out a thick stack of A4 paper.

"Mr. Chen, since we have time, let's record another song, but not 'Single Love Song,' but 'The First Tear.' Here are the sheet music, drum sheet music, and guitar sheet music that I've prepared."

Just have Zhao Muyang, Dou Peng, and Li Yanliang record it for you!

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Jiantian's reply, Jiangnan slapped the stack of A4 papers in his hand into Chen Jiantian's hand and went to the recording studio.

...

As a singer, the most important thing isn't how well you play an instrument, how amazing your composing skills are, or how handsome you are...

But you need to be able to sing!

Being able to sing consists of two parts: first, having a good voice, and second, having singing skills.

Looking at the entire mainland music scene, there are very few singers who possess both of these qualities, including this year's phenomenal singers Li Chunbo and Mao Ning.

Li Chunbo has an average voice, and Mao Ning has virtually no singing skills.

"Cough cough cough..."

Wang Xinbo, the sound engineer sitting in the control room, coughed twice, then took out a pack of Marlboro cigarettes from his pocket and threw it on the table.

"One take!"

"I think it should be done at least 10 times!" Dou Wei said, making the same gesture.

"I think three tries should be enough!" Luo Qi, the lead singer of the Compass Band, also enjoys smoking Marlboro cigarettes.

"I think five times!" Ding Wu thought for a moment, stretched out his right hand to show his expression, and also took out a box of Marlboro cigarettes from his pocket and threw it on the table.

"I think it should be at least 30 times!" Wang Feng, a sophomore at the Central Conservatory of Music, seemed to look down on Jiang Nan. He gave a maximum number when he threw down a pack of cigarettes.

This is a gambling game they often play!

The bet was on how many takes the singer in the recording studio would need to finish recording. Whoever guessed correctly would take all the cigarettes off the table.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun, who was seeing such a scene for the first time, also wanted to try it, but she froze as soon as she took out the cigarette from her pocket.

The city is littered with scraps of paper.

The wind blows, like your charm.

The shoe store I passed

But I can't buy the shoes you love.

… ”

Indeed, Jiangnan's voice has a very high quality, with a metallic, gritty quality.

But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that when Zhou Xun hears Jiangnan's singing, a picture really forms in her mind...

At the alley entrance, a breeze picked up, scattering scraps of paper across the ground. Looking ahead, a woman in a white dress smiled alluringly.

"Hiss... this is interesting!"

The speaker was Dou Wei.

Upon hearing his words, Zhou Xun knew that Jiangnan's singing had not only created a vivid image in her mind, but also in the minds of others.

Just as Zhou Xun was thinking about this, suddenly, she heard an extremely long A4 note, "Oh~ I've walked Zhongxiao East Road nine times," followed by a continuous and stable A4 high-pitched output...

"The ground beneath my feet bears the traces of our past"

I walked from day to night

My heart leaped from gray to black

I so wanted to jump into the car and leave this heartbreaking Taipei…

Upon hearing this chorus, everyone in the control room turned to look at Dou Wei. Everyone knew just how amazing this guy's high notes were, able to maintain them for a long time in the A4 range, with clear enunciation, stable breath control, and top-notch vocal quality.

Now, a student from the Central Academy of Drama has actually achieved what he did.

Why are you looking at me?

Dou Wei smiled.

"Hitting high notes while singing isn't my specialty. If I can do it, others can too, as long as they train scientifically."

Despite saying that, Dou Wei was still planning whether he could find a secluded place to have a match with Jiangnan someday.
