Song recording…

From the perspective of fans, this is a very prestigious job, to create a timeless classic from scratch, so that listeners decades or even centuries later can still feel the charm of this song.

But in Jiangnan's view, this was just a routine job!

With lyrics and music in hand, the song can be arranged; with sheet music, musicians can follow the score and play out the mood the arranger wanted; with background music, vocal recording can begin…

If a singer's voice is average, they can make up for it with techniques. For example, Jay Chou sometimes deliberately makes the lyrics unclear and relies entirely on the melody to drive the emotions.

The singer has a beautiful, clear, and metallic voice, like Dou Wei, or Jiangnan standing in the Baihua Recording Studio right now. Even without the melody, the singer's voice alone can ignite the emotions of the audience!

Thus, the song "Walking Nine Times on Zhongxiao East Road" was recorded, and the entire recording studio erupted in cheers.

"Dude, that's awesome!"

"Brother, with your voice, you could rival Dou Wei."

"Jiangnan, you are this!"

"Dude, your breath control when you sing is really steady. How do you train that?"

Jiangnan simply smiled at everyone's praise and began the next step of her work.

Zhao Muyang, the "King of Drums" from Northwest China, has already entered the venue with the drum score for the song "The First Tear." I have to stay in the control room to control the rhythm of the drumbeats; I don't have time to explain to you how I train my voice and breath!

Of course, there's no way to explain this.

Jiangnan can't exactly tell the truth, can he? That this was taken from Dou Wei, can he?!

……

After working until 7 p.m. and recording two songs, "Walking Nine Times on Zhongxiao East Road" and "The First Tear", Jiangnan took a taxi back to the Central Academy of Drama without having dinner.

In fact, Chen Jiantian, the boss of Hongxing Production Cooperative, invited Dou Wei, Ding Wu, Liu Yijun, Wang Feng, and Dou Peng to go drinking together, intending to bring Jiangnan along.

But I won't go to Jiangnan.

He knew these people's character all too well.

  

They drink, smoke, and swear. When they get excited, they'll pull a rock starlet who's come up to them to a semi-secluded spot to relax for five or six minutes before coming back to continue drinking, smoking, and swearing.

Such a decadent and depraved life was not uncommon in Jiangnan in his previous life.

He wanted to change his way of life; at the very least, he wanted to be a good student for his four years of university.

And this became the reason why Jiangnan refused everyone's invitations...

"I have to go back to the Central Academy of Drama for evening self-study. If I don't hand in my skit assignment by the end of this month, which one of you is going to cover for me?"

Baihua Shenchu ​​Hutong is about 5 kilometers away from the Central Academy of Drama. In this era of very little traffic, even a yellow van with poor performance could get there in 15 minutes.

At the entrance of Dongmianhua Hutong, after paying the fare, Jiangnan got out of the car and could see from afar that the Hui Muslim barbecue stall was already preparing to set up its stall.

Simple tables and chairs were arranged in a row against the wall in the alley. Freshly cooked spicy crayfish were served in large basins and covered with clean white cloths.

Even so, the aroma of this stuff can be smelled from a great distance in Jiangnan.

or…

Tonight, after rehearsing the show, I'll meet up with Li Naiwen, Tang Xu, Zhu Yuanyuan, and Wang Jinpeng for drinks. Hmm, it would be best if Xin Baiqing could join us too.

Doesn't this guy like Zhu Yuanyuan?

Now, your good buddy will create opportunities for you!

"Ding ding ding..."

The phone rang suddenly, just as Jiangnan was about to turn into the Central Academy of Drama. The public phone next to the entrance rang.

Look at Old Qin sitting in the guardhouse, look at Boss Ma busy setting up his stall, and then look at the proprietress of Jingxiu Restaurant who glanced this way...

Seeing that none of them intended to answer the phone, Jiang Nan raised his wrist, checked the time, and then walked over to pick up the receiver.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

In an era before pagers were common, it was a frequent occurrence for a public telephone on the street to suddenly ring.

For example, on the first day that his father, Jiang Shan, sent him to school in Jiangnan, he memorized the number of this public telephone.

If there's anything urgent, they'll definitely call and ask passersby to help them find Jiangnan to answer the phone.

"I'm looking for Jiang Nan, a student in the 1993 undergraduate class of the Acting Department at the Central Academy of Drama. Judging from the taxi's current speed, he should be arriving at the Central Academy of Drama soon."

Could you please call them for me?

The speaker was a woman with a Taiwanese accent. Luckily, this was in 93. If it were 20 years later, Jiangnan would definitely think he had received a scam call.

"I am Jiangnan. May I ask who you are?"

"wipe…"

Jiangnan had barely uttered the question when the other party started swearing on the phone.

"Jiangnan, what's wrong with you? Don't you have a pager? Why didn't you bring it with you? Do you know that Fei called you 27 times today?"

The woman had a bad temper, but when she mentioned the name Afei, Jiangnan knew who she was: Qiu Likuan, Wang Fei's other agent.

Sure enough, at that moment, Jiangnan heard a clear voice coming from the microphone.

"Jiangnan, you're back?"

The person who called you just now was Sister Kuan. She has a fiery temper, but she's a really good person. If she swore at someone, please don't take it to heart.

"fine!"

Jiangnan has always been very tolerant of profanity. Putting aside his past life, just look at today when he was recording a song at Baihua Recording Studio. Those long-haired rock musicians basically cursed every time they played a rhythm.

"Well, it's good that you don't mind."

Wang Fei, who is usually aloof, was surprisingly warm on the phone.

"I'm calling you because you recorded a song today."

I recorded two songs in a row, one is "Walking Nine Times on Zhongxiao East Road" and the other is "The First Tear". Just now, when you came out of Baihua Recording Studio, my good friend Dou Ying called me and let me listen to these two songs over the phone.

I must say, your musical talent truly exceeds my expectations.

"No, I was just singing for fun."

The song was plagiarized, and the singing techniques were borrowed; now that Wang Fei is praising him, Jiangnan is actually a little embarrassed.

"Singing for fun, it's all so good!"

"If you keep being so humble, how are we supposed to live? Hahaha..." Wang Fei laughed sweetly, but then suddenly changed the subject.

"I don't recall you ever being to Taiwan, right?"

"No!"

"How do you know about Zhongxiao East Road? Why did you mention Taipei in the song? And why did you mention the shoe store on Zhongxiao East Road?"

"My mother's aunt and uncle went to Taiwan with the Nationalist army back then. Last year, their whole family came back to visit relatives, and that's when I met her grandson, a freshman at National Taiwan University. We talked about his love life..."

Lying requires skill!

如果让别人相信，10句话里面要有8句或者是9句是真的，剩下的1~2句谎话来表露自己的真实目的。

Just like now, Jiangnan's great-aunt is indeed in Taipei, and last year, her whole family did come to the mainland to visit relatives; her grandson did talk to Jiangnan about university life and campus romance in Taipei.

But this song…

But Jiangnan copied it from his previous life!

"Jiangnan..."

"Um?"

"You just said that you've never been in a relationship, and even when you're creating music, you're just using other people's romantic experiences as inspiration."

"That's right?"

"Would you like to have a passionate and dramatic romance?" Wang Fei asked over the phone.
