Chapter 2 Recording Songs

Xidu TV is one of the four major TV stations in China. There are often some programs that require professional recording studios, so Xidu TV directly built one.

Qi Yuan pushed the door open and entered.

In the bright recording studio, three or four figures were sitting on the sofa, and a middle-aged man with black-framed glasses, bald, looking like he was in his forties.

He is Liu Shiyi, the music director of Xidu TV.

Inside a thick soundproof wall, a beautiful girl stood and was singing.

The girl Qi Yuan knew that she was a popular singer recently. This time she recorded a program on Xidu TV. She needed to sing on the show, so she first came to the recording studio to record it, and just match the lip-sync when recording the show.

Qi Yuan waited for about half an hour, and the girl and her assistant agent finished recording, and only Qi Yuan and Mr. Liu were left in the recording studio.

"Xiao Yuan, is there something wrong? The soundtrack of your show is simple. Don't urge me. I will definitely give it to you next week."

Liu Shiyi and Qi Yuan were quite polite because he liked the song "Sweet Honey" written by Qi Yuan six years ago.

Now that Qi Yuan terminated the contract with Tianhao Group, although there is no explicit statement, with Tianhao Group's status in the entertainment industry, Qi Yuan is in a semi-banned state, so he still has some sympathy for Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan smiled and handed over his music score, saying, "Brother, I'm not here to talk about work. I've written a song, can I help me record it?"

While taking the music score, Liu Shiyi smiled and said, "You kid is openly using your working hours to do private work. But I won't do the same."

Qi Yuan said: "That's sure."

"Have you arranged this song?"

Qi Yuan shook his head.

At this time, Liu Shi did not speak again and stared at the paper in his hand.

His hand holding the music score trembled slightly.

He took off his glasses, wiped them, put them on again, and read the lyrics of Qi Yuan's music score several times from beginning to end.

"Is this... really what you wrote?"

"If you want to change it."

Liu Shiyi patted Qi Yuan's shoulder excitedly: "I knew! I knew! How could you not be able to write a new song if you can write "Sweet Honey"!"

"Brother Liu thinks this song is pretty good?"

“This song is very good!”

When Liu Shi touched his shiny forehead, he seemed particularly entangled.

Qi Yuan’s song is very good. He has not arranged the song yet. He wants to arrange it for this song, the kind that doesn’t cost money.

The song of a song generally refers to the main melody part of the vocal of the song, while the arrangement is based on the emotional needs expressed by the song, adding chords, sound effects, instruments, etc.

Arrangement is simply the accompaniment of a song.

Arrangement tests a musician's skills. There are not many musicians in the Chinese music scene who can make lyrics and music independent or even produce lyrics and music arrangements.

What Liu Shiyi is confused about is that the song "People Like Me" is really good. He also wants to participate, but he is afraid that he will ruin the song.

As if he saw Liu Shiyi's entanglement, Qi Yuan took the initiative: "Brother, I have been banned by Tianhao now. Although no one mentioned this, it is already a hidden rule. I will find a reliable producer in other channels. It will be difficult for a short period of time. Can you help me?"

"That's OK! But let's not do it on the stage. When we get off work in the evening, we will work hard to arrange the music in my studio!"

...

Two days later.

In a recording studio filled with various musical instruments, Qi Yuan stood in front of the microphone and compared Liu Shi with an OK gesture.

This is Liu Shiyi's studio. In addition to working at Xidu TV and making soundtracks for the programs on the station, Liu Shiyi also takes on some private work.

For example, behind him, there were two women. The younger one was named Jiang Qianye. He was in his twenties. He was a new singer who had just debuted for half a year. The older one was named Zhao Yue, and Jiang Qianye's agent.

Zhao Yue bought a song from Liu Shiyi for Jiang Qianye and made an appointment to record the song today. As soon as Qi Yuan and Liu Shiyi prepared the accompaniment of "People Like Me" and also recorded their own songs.

Inside the glass wall, Qi Yuan has already started singing:

"A person as good as me should have lived a brilliant life."

"Why is it still floating in the crowd for more than 20 years?"

As soon as the slightly hoarse voice came out, it instantly grabbed the hearts of the three people present.

Jiang Qianye knew Qi Yuan. Qi Yuan was so popular a few years ago. Later, I heard that his creative ability declined and gradually disappeared from the entertainment industry. But the person in front of me, the person who sang this song, can't this song represent his creative ability?

A person as outstanding as me should have lived a brilliant life.

This is talking about himself.

Liu Shiyi shook his bald head gently and closed his eyes slightly, enjoying it very much.

"A person as smart as me has long said goodbye to simplicity."

"Why did you still use a relationship to exchange for scars?"

This is really talking about himself! A relationship? Is it about his marriage with the queen Gu Hongli?

Jiang Qianye stared at the curious eyes and looked behind the thick glass, the handsome and slightly vicissitudes of Qi Yuan.

"It's so good." Liu Shiyi couldn't help but turn around and said to Jiang Qianye's agent Zhao Yue.

Zhao Yue looked at Qi Yuan deeply, as if she was discovering a treasure.

She is now just a small agent in a small company, and her goal is to bring out an artist like Qi Yuan at the peak of that year.

Qi Yuan was at his peak when he debuted. He was loved by everyone because of his creative ability. He was also eliminated by this cruel entertainment industry because of his loss of creation.

But now, Qi Yuan's creativity seems to be back?

If... if you can get two songs from Qi Yuan, no, a fine song, then Jiang Qianye, who has not been popular for half a year in his debut, can he go a step further?

About an hour later, the recording of "People Like Me" was completed.

The system's voice soon rang in Qi Yuan's mind:

"Congratulations to the host for completing the recording of the first song and receiving a reward of a silver treasure chest."

Qi Yuan walked out and opened the silver treasure chest while clicking.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the novel "A Wandering Guide to the Galaxy."

Novel? Or science fiction?

Liu Shi copied the recorded master tape to Qi Yuan. After chatting for a few words, Zhao Yue, who was beside him, couldn't help but come up: "That... Qi Yuan, can we take a photo together? I'm your fan."

Qi Yuan said: "Okay, Qianye is more famous now than me. I should take a photo with her, haha."

"Where is it, Brother Yuan, you are a senior." Jiang Qianye also bent his waist and leaned over. He took a photo with Liu Shiyi. Zhao Yue happily changed contact information with Qi Yuan and said that he hoped Jiang Qianye would have the opportunity to sing the song written by Qi Yuan in the future.
