Chu Yan also sang in his previous life.
There has never been a clear dividing line between entertainers in the entertainment industry. If you are good at acting, you can sing, and if you sing well, you can act. This phenomenon abounds. There are even some relatively powerful amphibious entertainers who can be good hosts and actors, and at the same time have a good singing voice and can sing moving songs.
In his previous life, because of his outstanding looks, Chu Yan was discovered by scouts on the street, and thus entered the entertainment industry. For a star like him who became a monk halfway through, the company's first thought was to make him an idol singer. After all, he has never been to a professional class, so he may not be able to compare with professional actors in terms of acting skills.
However, no matter how handsome and beautiful Chu Yan was in his previous life, his voice was just as ordinary. Just being handsome but with no distinctive voice and no personality in the songs he sang had no future in the declining music scene at that time, so Chu Yan embarked on the road of interpretation, and unexpectedly developed very well.
So Chu Yan only sang two songs in his previous life, and they were all mouthwatering songs with poor grades.
In this world, singers emerge in endlessly, and a lot of high-quality music appears every year. For example, the star who is currently ranked ahead of Chu Yan on the Brilliant Star List is a pure female singer. This female singer debuted for three years and is very good at all kinds of rock music. Her voice is clear and stylish, and she is loved by many people.
After finishing his filming in the morning, Chu Yan and Zhou Hehui took the spaceship to Yanning Star, which is not far from the A-17 film and television planet. This planet is covered by countless green plants and sparsely populated, but the pleasant and brisk chirping of birds and cicadas can be heard everywhere, which makes people relax immediately.
After Chu Yan and Zhou Hehui arrived on the planet, the person in charge of the music of the crew sent someone to take them to the building where the recording was made. As soon as he entered the building, Chu Yan saw a long-haired young man walking towards him from a distance, and when he saw the other person's face clearly, he recognized him instantly.
Seeing Chu Yan looking at him, Han Xiao also smiled and said, "This is Chu Yan, I think you should already know who I am. That's right, I am Han Xiao, the music director of the movie "Starlight", I do look a bit like my dad."
Hearing this, Chu Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "You are very handsome, just like Mr. Han."
Han Xiao laughed out loud.
Han Xiao, the music director of "Starlight", is a well-known musician in the circle, and also Han Lao's biological son. Since Han Xiao made his debut, he has often helped Mr. Han produce film music. The father and son cooperated tacitly and won some music awards.
The three of them talked for a while, and they didn't delay at the gate any longer. Chu Yan and Zhou Hehui followed Han Xiao into the recording studio on the forty-sixth floor of the building. After entering, no other sounds could be heard in the recording studio, only many staff members were in their own separate soundproof studio Play music, and record something every now and then.
The recording studio in the new era opened Chu Yan's eyes, but he didn't show his curiosity, he just followed Han Xiao with a light smile and listened to his introduction. Han Xiao told Chu Yan that the dubbing of the movie "Starlight" has basically been completed. There are about three songs that need to be sung by human voices, and two songs are specially found for a singer to hum softly.
Among them, the theme song has been decided, sung by Ding Sheng, and the ending song is sung by Chu Yan. In this way, Ding Sheng represents the story of Yan Xing and Zhu Xue, and Chu Yan represents the story of Su Yuguang and Xu Yishu, which happens to have a beautiful intention of "star and light".
When he was about to walk to the recording studio at the top of the corridor, Han Xiao suddenly remembered: "By the way, how do you sing?"
Chu Yan was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "It's not good, but I won't be out of tune."
After getting this answer, Han Xiao feels much more relieved. What he wants is Chu Yan to sing. As long as Chu Yan does not go out of tune to an unbearable level, with the post-tuning methods of this era, the tune can be made beautiful—of course, If Chu Yan sang well, that would be the icing on the cake, the best.
After entering the studio, Chu Yan saw several staff members sitting there. They greeted Han Xiao one after another, and then looked at Chu Yan with curious eyes. They all sat in their seats with professional ethics and did not make other moves.
Among them were one or two young girls who looked to be in their twenties. They had been staring at Chu Yan, their cheeks were flushed, and they seemed to be his fans, but the little girls only looked at him with excited eyes. Under Han Xiao's majesty, these staff did not dare to move.
Han Xiao said: "Now I have almost done the demo. I invite you here today just to hear how you sing, so that I can know how to tune in the later stage and to what extent. Chu Yan, what are you good at?" song?"
Hearing this, Chu Yan was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Han Xiao only thought that he was a little shy. After all, Chu Yan was only nineteen years old. He was young and not a singer. He might not have many opportunities to sing in public. Han Xiao thought for a while and asked, "Can Xu Tianwang sing "Evening Bell and Twilight"?"
Chu Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally raised the corners of his lips helplessly, smiled and shook his head: "No."
Han Xiao didn't think of this answer at all. He was stunned for a long time, and even Zhou Hehui and the staff on the side were also stunned, looking at the "alien" Chu Yan with horrified eyes.
Han Xiao was still calmer, he thought for a while, and then said: "It's normal, we young people like to sing more fashionable songs, I remember last year that Lu Shao's "Singing" was very popular among young people, You should like it too, right?"
Chu Yan still smiled: "This... also won't."
Han Xiao: "..."
Zhou Hehui: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Han Xiao asked: "What about Li Qiqi's "The Sea of Love"?"
Chu Yan smiled: "No."
Han Xiao: "Qian Lelu's "Broken Starry Sky"?"
Chu Yan: "No."
…
After talking about seven or eight of the most popular songs today, which almost even a three-year-old child can hum, the answer Han Xiao got was "no". This made him feel shocked, but also had some kind of admiration, probably a feeling similar to "I can't even know this song, I'm really talented".
At the end, Han Xiao said casually: "Do you know Yang Siming's "Feng Hua"?"
Chu Yan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "I've heard some of this song, but I can't guarantee that I can sing it well."
When he heard that Chu Yan could do it, Han Xiao was surprised, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood: "Oh, yes, "The Prosperity" is the theme song of the TV series "Prosperity", Chu Yan, you have something in it. play a role."
Chu Yan said but smiled.
It is also impossible for Chu Yan to sing an ancient style song that is completely different from the style of the "Starlight" movie. Han Xiao racked his brains for a long time, and finally gave up and asked: "It seems that you are really not very good. I like to sing, then Chu Yan, can you tell me what song you can sing?"
Under the dim light of the studio, a shy (?) smile appeared on the handsome young man's face, and he said: "Brother Han, I don't know many songs, but it's more... um... retro. If you don't mind I can sing two verses a cappella, anyway, I just need to hear my voice, it doesn’t matter what song I sing.”
Han Xiao nodded in agreement, but added: "But you'd better sing a more lyrical and slow love song, with a modern style."
Chu Yan nodded understandingly.
Soon, Chu Yan walked to the opposite studio by himself. This studio is very different from a thousand years ago. Fortunately, with Han Xiao's introduction, Chu Yan knew how to use these equipment. The high technology makes the sound collection and denoising of the human voice very first-class. Chu Yan can sing music out to the air as long as he sits in his own position and puts on headphones.
Seeing that Chu Yan had already started wearing earphones, Han Xiao couldn't help but said through the thick soundproof glass: "I'm very worried now... Will Chu Yan sing? He won't be really out of tune, right?" It was impossible to hear his own words, and Han Xiao, who was speaking ill of others behind his back, lowered his voice.
Zhou Hehui was standing beside Han Xiao. Hearing his words, Zhou Hehui was silent for a moment, and then said: "Xiaoyan never likes to lie..." As soon as he said this, Zhou Hehui was silent again, probably because he remembered the so-called The "runaway wife" joke.
Putting such boring things behind quickly, Zhou Hehui coughed twice and said, "He is never vague about work matters, he should really be able to sing."
Now there is no need for Han Xiao to speak, and the deputy music director on the side said worriedly: "Can you really sing? Not even "Evening Bell Twilight", "Singing", "The Sea of Love", "Broken Starry Sky" , I really don't know what song Chu Yan will sing..."
As soon as the words fell, a little girl immediately became unconvinced: "Uncle Zhao, how can you say that? If Chu Yanyan said she could sing, she would definitely be able to sing. Why don't you believe me? I believe in Chu Yanyan! Ah Yue ,dont you agree?"
The little girl named Ah Yue also nodded vigorously: "Chu Yanyan can sing as she says, and she must sing very well!"
Han Xiao: "..."
Other staff: "…"
Zhou Hehui silently put aside his head: "..."
— Well, that's right, although he is Chu Yan's manager, he still doesn't really believe that this young man can sing.
Seeing the expressions of "Okay, okay, what you said" from the others, the two little girls pouted their mouths in disbelief, and began to tune the recording equipment seriously. They firmly believe that Chu Yanyan can sing when she says she can sing, and Chu Yanyan will never lie!
It didn't take long before Chu Yan made a gesture to indicate that he was ready. Han Xiao also gradually corrected his expression, and nodded with Chu Yan.
So, amidst the helplessness of the other staff and the confidence of the two little girls, Chu Yan adjusted his earphones and opened his mouth slowly. Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice slowly flowed out from the speaker, making people stunned.
