After Wu Hongrong saw Chen Minhao coming out of the closed recording studio, he immediately praised:
"Very good, you sang very well this time, your voice is very stable, and there are very few areas that require fine-tuning in post-production. I found that you recorded the song today, and you are much more skillful in handling R&B transposition than before. Recently, you have specialized in Do you practice this?"
Chen Minhao nodded slightly and said: "Yes. Mr. Shi introduced me to a teacher after he added me on WeChat last time. Although I haven't met the teacher yet, I just had a voice chat and he gave me two small suggestions. , but judging from the result feedback, those two tips are quite useful.”
Wu Hongrong was even more satisfied after hearing this: "If you have time in the future, you can communicate more with Mr. Shi. In addition, it is good for you to do this: you can face up to your singing problems and find ways to solve them. No matter what a person does, , as long as he ignores his own problems and shortcomings, he will actually only escalate his own problems and shortcomings."
As soon as Wu Hongrong finished speaking, he looked around at the crowd and said, "If the recording is finished early, we will finish the work early. Chen Minhao's recording went more smoothly than expected. Let's go out for a meal together. Everyone has been very busy recently, so it's time to relax."
Qian Jinyun rubbed his red eyes from staying up late and said, "You go ahead, I won't go. I just listened to Brother Chen singing "Fireworks Easily Cold", and he gave me a lot of new ideas from China. I am afraid that these inspirations will be fleeting, so I want to quickly organize the inspirations just now and use them in "Thousands of Miles Away"."
Chen Minhao and Wu Hongrong smiled at each other, nodded, and let him go.
"Inspiration comes" is a feeling that is difficult to describe in words: ideas are constantly bursting out in the mind, like a living spring, constantly washing the cerebral cortex. But no one knows when this living spring will stop, so they can only catch it while it exists.
Chen Minhao asked the studio staff at the recording studio to find a separate room for Qian Jinyun, and then said to Qian Jinyun: "When we get to the hotel, I will ask Chen Qiang to bring you two dishes first. Don't bother yourself. It’s too late, go to bed early.”
After the staff saved the original tape of the recording, the group packed up their things and set off.
While waiting for the elevator, Cao Tian asked casually: "Chen Minhao, do you have any ideas for the English songs in your album? Domestic singers are indeed relatively weak in going overseas, especially if they want to enter the European and American markets. Many singers have gone overseas. Jump into the sea.”
While they were talking, the elevator arrived and a group of people entered the elevator. Wu Hongrong said: "If young people have this idea, let them try it. It is not a bad thing after all. Even if it enters the European and American markets, it may have a good response in China. Many English The song is also quite popular in China.”
Cao Tian nodded and said: "That's right, maybe it was unintentional. By the way, Chen Minhao, how is your English? Although your Chinese songs are all good, there are still some differences in the creation of Chinese songs and English songs. It's different. I'm worried that you might accidentally go off track and turn it into a Chinese-flavored English song.
I happen to know a singer named Bian Chengyi. He mainly makes English songs. Do you need me to recommend him to you? It might be helpful for you to chat with him about English songs. "
Chen Minhao had listened to several of Bian Chengyi's songs, and they were all average. However, he knew that Cao Tian also had good intentions, so he smiled and said, "Actually, I have already finished my English songs."
Cao Tian asked in confusion: "I heard that if Cao Tian puts six songs on the album, you will have plenty of time, right? You don't need to rush when writing songs, you can write slowly."
"Actually, as long as you have ideas and inspiration, it doesn't matter whether you do it quickly or you do it slowly." Chen Minhao said concisely and clearly.
Wu Hongrong said in a complaining tone: "You kid, if Teacher Cao hadn't asked you, wouldn't you have said anything about your English songs?"
After the group took the elevator to the first floor, before they even got out of the elevator door, Wu Hongrong reached out and clicked the button for the third floor in the elevator, and returned to the third floor.
According to the album production schedule produced by Wu Hongrong last week, Chen Minhao's English songs should be completed next week. However, after Wu Hongrong learned that Chen Minhao's English songs were completed today, he couldn't wait to hear them as soon as possible. As for eating, he could only put them later. .
Cao Tian found a room with good privacy and asked a staff member to come in with a guitar.
Chen Minhao held the guitar, slightly adjusted a few notes, and said in a low voice: "This song is called "See You Again"."
Chen Minhao closed his eyes, plucked the strings with his fingers, the guitar sounded, and started the prelude of the music, and his slightly hoarse voice sounded:
[It's been a long day without you my friend.
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.
We've come a long way from where we began.
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.
When I see you again.]
Luo Tianyi once studied in the United States. As soon as Chen Minhao opened his mouth, she knew that Chen Minhao's pronunciation was very standard.
After Chen Minhao finished singing the soft and lyrical first verse, he left the guitar with his right hand, paused in mid-air for a full two seconds, then quickly plucked the strings and began to rap affectionately:
[Damn, who knew all the planes we flew.
Good things we've been through.
That I'll be standing right here.
Talking to you about another path.
I know we loved to hit the road and laugh.]
Wu Hongrong never thought that he would like rap.
Rap, also known as rap, is a special form of singing that speaks rhythmically. It originated in poor black communities in the United States. It is characterized by a series of rhymed verses spoken rapidly against a background of mechanical rhythmic sounds.
As an orthodox musician, Wu Hongrong actually feels deep down in his heart that rap does not even belong to the category of music. He never thought rap could be so soulful.
Wu Hongrong listened in rapt attention, and couldn't help but take out a cigarette from the cigarette case, thinking: It's not that I don't appreciate rap, or that I don't like rap, but that I haven't heard real rap in China in the past few years.
At the end of the song, Chen Minhao put down his guitar, smiled at Cao Tian and said, "How is it? This English song is not a Chinese-flavored English song."
"The quality of this song is very good. To be honest, your level is much better than Bian Chengyi who I plan to introduce." Cao Tian thought to himself in embarrassment: Didn't I just say it casually? Didn't your slap in the face come too quickly
Kang Hui noticed Cao Tian's embarrassment. She also lit a cigarette, looked at Chen Minhao, changed the topic and asked, "Do you have an idea for the last Chinese song?"
Chen Minhao thought carefully for a few seconds and then said, "I didn't think it through."
Wu Hongrong smiled and said: "Don't worry, our current progress is much better than the original plan. If you don't have inspiration for the last song, think about it slowly."
Wu Hongrong misunderstood Chen Minhao's meaning, and Chen Minhao did not intend to explain.
Chen Minhao "didn't think about it well", it's not that he didn't have any ideas for the last song, he didn't think about it well. And there were several songs that he felt were suitable. He couldn't decide for a while which song to put on the album as the last one.
After the group listened to Chen Minhao's "See You Again", they could finally go to eat. Wu Hongrong was very happy today and decided to have a meal at Fuxi Wenqi.
This restaurant has two characteristics. First, the restaurant has 24 private rooms, each of which incorporates the characteristics of different countries and regions. Second, it’s extremely difficult to book.
