Chapter 105 Next stop: King of Songs
"No, do it again." Du Caige said blankly.
Jiang Youxi frowned: "Brother, what's wrong? You can't just start over with me, you have to tell me why I'm not good at singing?"
Du Caige said coldly, "It just doesn't feel right."
"What doesn't feel right?"
"Feeling, feeling is not in place."
"Ah?" Jiang Youxi elongated her face with a pitiful look.
Everyone else in the studio was whispering.
"Isn't it too harsh?"
"Yeah, I think Xiao Jiang has sung very well. This song will definitely be popular."
"Keep improving, no wonder you can hold 2 queens and 3 singers."
Du Caige turned a blind eye to Jiang Youxi's exaggerated expression: "Go ahead, don't waste my time."
Jiang Youxi wanted to protest, but she didn't dare to speak, like a little milk dog.
Du Caige closed his eyes.
He is not embarrassing Jiang Youxi, he just hopes that these classic songs from the earth can be presented to the music lovers of Azure Star in the most perfect form.
"Have you had enough rest? Continue." Du Caige said coldly.
Jiang Youxi didn't dare to argue, so she put on her headphones obediently and started a new recording.
"When you looked at me, I didn't say anything. You have already guessed it. Still not sure, still not meeting your requirements..."
He had been practicing for several days before, and he thought he would be able to record the song soon.
But now it has been recorded for 3 days, and the first song has not been recorded yet.
Du Caige's demands are too high.
But Jiang Youxi didn't resist in his heart. He actually knew very well that the ultimate beneficiary of Du Caige's strict requirements was actually himself.
In order to become famous, what is this hard work?
It's just that he used to play tricks in front of Du Caige. He was very smart and knew that it would be easier to get closer to Du Caige.
Don't look at Du Caige's often taciturn and seem to be very difficult to deal with, but he would bet that Du Caige is the type that is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
Once he calmed down, Jiang Youxi made rapid progress.
Du Caige pondered that Jiang Youxi was very close to mastering the song, and he might have an epiphany at any time, and meet his requirements during a certain performance.
How should I put it, the five songs he chose are basically not difficult in terms of skills.
With Jiang Youxi's vocal skills, singing these songs is more than enough.
So he only hoped that Jiang Youxi could grasp the "feel" of the song accurately.
The so-called "feeling" is not only the mood and emotion in the song, but also includes slight changes in rhythm and pronunciation elements in certain places.
Make a little change, and maybe you can make "sing well" into "moving people's hearts".
Anyone can sing such a simple song.
It's like a low-difficulty action in a gymnastics performance. Anyone can do it, but doing it in a game usually doesn't get a high score, because there's nothing special about it.
The same goes for singing these songs.
If Jiang Youxi can't sing her own characteristics, why should people remember it?
But Du Caige didn't want to artificially create difficulty.
Moreover, "perfect" does not exist. Different singers often have different understandings and interpretations of the same song, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.
Therefore, his basic requirements for Jiang Youxi are: If nothing else, at least grasp the emotions in the songs and interpret them.
The true feelings are the most touching.
...
During the noon break, Huayu's staff brought a richer working meal.
Of course, no matter how rich it is, it is also a working meal.
Du Caige is an old glutton.
Love food.
But he doesn't rule out work meals either.
When filming a movie before, he even had to eat a boxed lunch for several months, and he never complained.
As a salted fish, when he can enjoy life, he must enjoy it.
When he can't enjoy it, he can adapt to the status quo.
After eating, he told Jiang Youxi a few more words, and then entered the afternoon recording.
After singing a few times, Du Caige said, "No, I'm going backwards. Xiao Jiang, be serious. If you don't enter the state right away, just play slowly by yourself, don't waste my time."
Jiang Youxi immediately admitted her mistake with a good attitude, and she was much more serious after that.
However, two hours later, his singing was still not recognized by Du Caige.
"Let's rest and continue tomorrow. It's almost time, I can feel your progress." Du Caige said flatly.
Jiang Youxi let out a sigh of relief.
In the past few days, he was afraid of being tossed by Du Caige.
No matter how serious he is, he will be denied by Du Caige.
And Du Caige didn't say why he didn't sing well, he just let him grope and think for himself.
Jiang Youxi adjusted the details of the song hundreds of times during the recording process in the past few days.
There were times when he felt that he had sung perfectly, but he never got Du Caige's approval.
This made him a little frustrated.
However, these few days of practice, independent thinking and exploration have also allowed him to make some progress in singing skills, and the hard work is definitely worth it.
The company paid Du Caige to be the producer of his new song and responsible for arranging the music. This move was the right move.
Although the cost is very high, inviting Du Caige is by no means cheap, but it also guarantees the quality of his new songs.
He sent Du Caige to the door of the company, then returned and continued to speculate.
Until Cheng Mingming came to find him.
She is full of the familiar temperament of a royal sister. Although her appearance is not very high, her seductive level is much higher than that of ordinary beauties.
"You're exhausted these days."
Jiang Youxi grinned and said, "It's nothing. When I was a trainee before, it was hard work."
"Many people can't endure hardship after their debut."
"The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, don't worry, Sister Mingming, I can endure hardship."
"That's good," Cheng Mingming sat down beside him, "this time even if your new song sells very well, you won't make any money, the big head will let the company make money, and the small head will let Lin Ke make money. , you can only drink some soup. You don't blame my sister, do you?"
Jiang Youxi showed a ruffian smile: "Sister Mingming, what are you talking about? I'm not someone who doesn't know what to do. I know that you are making a long-term plan for my good."
Cheng Mingming stared at him, seeing his open eyes and no falsification, he smiled slightly: "Yeah. If Lin may keep writing songs for you, you will be the next king of singers. And giving up some of the interests can make The company spends more money to promote you and make you famous faster. Make money? No matter how well your new song sells, you can make some money.”
"When you become the king of singers, you can get 100 million yuan in all kinds of advertising endorsements a year. Look at Su Rui and Peng Sizhang, how smart they are now? Just accept the announcements if you want, and sing the songs if they are good. Don’t sing if it’s not good. Take part in a variety show whenever you are happy, so that fans don’t forget them; occasionally hold a concert to give back to fans, and accept advertising endorsements every year.”
"So, no matter how hard you are now, you have to grit your teeth and keep going. No matter how high Lin Ke's requirements are for you, you must complete them meticulously so that you can have a chance for the next cooperation. It is rumored that he is very strict in music. Strictly, you should feel it yourself these days. If your performance makes him unsatisfied, even if you have a good personal relationship with him, he will not write new songs for you again. "
