Chapter 146 So proud(1/2)
What a big battle!
Lu Chen never expected that so many people would come to the listening room, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
He looked at Wen Zhiyuan with doubtful eyes. What was he doing?
Wen Zhiyuan wiped his sweat and explained: "Teacher Lu Chen, let me introduce to you, this is"
He first introduced Lu Chen to Song Xun, then Wan Xingguo, the manager of the agency department, the manager of the public relations department, etc.
As for Zhang Qiong and Zhang Shuhui, Wen Zhiyuan simply ignored them and pretended not to see them.
Damn, you stepped on my face. You really think I’m made of mud!
Zhang Qiong was so angry that her eyebrows stood up, but with so many company executives present, she didn't dare to lose her temper.
As for other people, no matter what they think in their hearts, they are always polite to Lu Chen.
In the pop music or entertainment circles, capable songwriters are still very respected. Their status is no less than that of celebrities and idols. Of course, their reputation outside the circle is much lower.
Ordinary people will only remember the singer when listening to music, and basically not many people will pay attention to who the author is.
But in the industry, Lu Chen's status as an author is higher than that of a singer, so even Song Xun, the deputy general manager of EMI, smiled and took the initiative to shake Lu Chen's hand.
Of course, this does not mean that they think that the song Lu Chen gave to Tang Qiaoqiao must be worth a high price of 250,000.
Because Lu Chen's coffee position has just been established and is not yet stable enough.
After being polite, Wan Xingguo couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Lu Chen, I heard that you wrote a new song for EMI?"
Lu Chen was a little surprised and didn't understand why the other party was so eager.
This is the music consultant of Tianlai Workshop. He is considered an outsider here, but Wen Zhiyuan respects him very much.
Lu Chen remained calm on the surface and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm about to give it a try and ask Teacher Wan for guidance."
Wan Xingguo was not polite and immediately nodded and said: "That's easy to say."
For Lu Chen, he is considered a senior in the industry. He is really qualified to give guidance to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen turned around and said to the confused Tang Qiaoqiao: "I'll play the accompaniment tape, you try again."
Previously in Wen Zhiyuan's office, Lu Chen analyzed the music score for Tang Qiaoqiao, as well as the stylistic characteristics of his piece, as well as the details that need to be paid attention to when singing.
Tang Qiaoqiao is talented in music, and the song is not very difficult, so he understood it quickly, so he went to the listening room to practice singing.
As the studio's first order, Lu Chen is willing to spend some time and energy to build his reputation in the industry.
I just didn't expect that there would be so many people waiting to attend the lecture, and they were all senior executives of EMI.
Tang Qiaoqiao was even more frightened.
Lu Chen's words woke her up and she hurriedly walked to the microphone, still looking a little uneasy.
Lu Chen took out the USB flash drive that he had prepared, inserted it into the playback device, and pressed the play button.
The musical intro then started.
The song had been written a long time ago, and the accompaniment was made by Lu Chen yesterday using a software synthesizer, so it's not that good. Anyway, there's no problem in using it for Tang Qiaoqiao's audition.
The actual arrangement has to be handled by EMI itself, and this is not included in the contract.
Following the rhythm, Tang Qiaoqiao opened her mouth, but no lyrics came out.
Her face suddenly turned red!
As a singer who came from talent competitions, Tang Qiaoqiao's performance should not have been so poor, but this song placed too many expectations on her, and the pressure on her heart was already very heavy.
And sitting in front of her to listen to the song were several senior executives of the company, so she was too nervous.
Zhang Shuhui, who was sitting on the edge of the listening room, couldn't help but look sarcastic.
There was no Tang Qiaoqiao in Zhang Shuhui's eyes, even if the latter belonged to the same group as her.
Tang Qiaoqiao actually bought a song from Lu Chen, which made her feel very unhappy. Even if I don't want it, you can think of it. Are you worth 250,000 yuan for a song?
So she followed her aunt here just to see Tang Qiaoqiao's jokes.
In the end, Tang Qiaoqiao was really making a joke!
Zhang Qiong laughed directly.
Li Zhigao's old face was wrinkled into a bitter melon, and he winked desperately at Tang Qiaoqiao, indicating that the other party should calm down.
In fact, he put more pressure on Tang Qiaoqiao.
Song Xun, Wan Xingguo and others all frowned, feeling that Tang Qiaoqiao's psychological quality was very poor.
Even if such a newcomer gives her a good song, can she really be praised?
Wen Zhiyuan's smile was uglier than his cry!
At the critical moment, if Tang Qiaoqiao loses control, where will his face be?
Lu Chen had quick eyes and quick hands and immediately pressed the stop button.
He said to Tang Qiaoqiao: "Don't be nervous. This song is specially written for you. You will definitely be able to sing it well. Don't feel any pressure. Sing it naturally and relaxedly. It's just the beginning of practice anyway."
Written specifically for Tang Qiaoqiao?
Several company executives present who knew the inside story secretly shook their heads, and even curled their lips in disdain.
It's really bragging that Lu Chen could write a good song specifically for Tang Qiaoqiao in two days without drafting?
I guess they either used works that had been written long ago to make up the numbers, or they just rushed them out to meet the deadline.
Lu Chen's statement was nothing more than to show that EMI did not spend its money in vain.
This kind of little trick is not worth mentioning in their opinion.
Tang Qiaoqiao relaxed.
After all, she is not a pure newcomer. She has performed well in talent competitions before. Once she calmed down, she became more natural and reached out to hold the microphone.
Lu Chen saw this and played the accompaniment again.
This time, Tang Qiaoqiao didn't lose her temper anymore and tried her first cry along with the accompaniment.
“Thinking about it all night, the night is so nice,
Keeps me awake,
Why do you always want to escape.
If the lovesickness cannot get better,
I can only blame it on me for not being able to find the antidote.
You never gave me a sign of love,
Oops, I fell into the trap earlier than you,
You love less than me,
Destined to suffer.
No, the elegance is gone,
Restless heartbeat,
The whole world heard it~
…”
Just the first part made everyone present except Lu Chen moved!
They are all insiders, even if they are not professionals, they all have the basic ability to appreciate a song.
To put it simply, it means whether it sounds good and whether it has the potential to become popular.
The new song Lu Chen wrote for Tang Qiaoqiao is very special. The style is cold and has a strong personal touch. It is different from ordinary love songs or fast songs, and has a heart-warming charm in it.
At first listen, it feels refreshing!
What's amazing is that Tang Qiaoqiao's voice characteristics are revealed through this song. It has a nasal voice and the flavor of a proud and petite girl. It contains the ethereal temperament of an elf who has fallen into the world.
If I had to talk about a shortcoming, it would be that her singing was not fluent enough.
But she has just started practicing.
"...
Don't be so proud,
I could leave at any time,
You haven't held my hand yet!
If the night is too long, the moonlight will be cold.
What to do.
You owe me a hug,
But I smile at you again and again,
To be continued...
