When Rong Xu sang it for the second time, he didn't know that Zhao Kun had only arranged for his subordinates to start recording songs. His right hand rested gently on the recording microphone, which seemed to be touching, but in fact it was separated by an almost undetectable distance.
Most singers have a little habit when recording, and Rong Xu likes to get closer to the microphone. In this way, it seems to be able to get closer to the device that is about to record its own voice, and to get closer to the other party and grasp the other party.
Last week, Zhao Kun handed over the demo of "Lost Wings" to Rong Xu. In the past week, whenever he returned to the hotel after filming, Rong Xu would repeatedly listen to the demo, read the score, and try to sing.
No good singer can do it overnight.
You can sing a song to perfection just by looking at the score, which is definitely the plot of the TV series. How to deal with the articulation between the lyrics and how to grasp the rhythm of the breath well, it takes repeated attempts to get the result.
However, there is still a difference between solo singing and studio recording. There was a gentle and peaceful sound of music coming from the earphones. Rong Xu recalled several shortcomings of his first recording, thought for a while in his heart, and made some corrections.
Just like before, the boy's voice is still clearer and clearer, like the rain in the morning, sweeping away all the impurities and stains in the world, leaving only the purest and fresh air. The technique is also handled extremely well, even many singers who have debuted for four or five years do not have such superb singing skills.
Zhao Kun listened to the song "Lost Wings" and watched Rong Xu's eyes gradually darken.
He didn't believe that someone could have such a skill without any professional training. The voice is born, but the skills are acquired. If a layman sings, how can he perfectly grasp the rhythm of exhalation and inhalation, and how can he smoothly handle the arc of each bend.
But Zhao Kun didn't break it. Rong Xu must have received professional training. That is Rong Xu's business. He only values the results.
He looks outstanding, has performed some good works, and is very popular...
It is said that acting is good while singing. Although the popularity of this child has not yet reached the level of many first-line artists, with this voice, he can definitely make a record!
In the recording studio, Rong Xu closed his eyes slightly and was still singing softly. He had already sung to the chorus part of the second stanza. In addition to the thick soundproof glass, the two tuners quickly adjusted the equipment on the mixer, with their fingers quickly, to remove all noises that could be big or small, and eliminated the very little breathing and noise.
It was at this time that Qin Cheng entered the recording studio.
Just as he opened the door a small crack, he heard a low and clear voice coming from inside the house.
Qin Cheng's movements froze for a moment, and the gentle singing, mixed with a trace of memory and nostalgia, came straight into his ears. This voice is not so gorgeous or full of personality, it is the most simple and direct clean, as clean as a piece of white paper, singing softly in your ear.
Almost immediately, Qin Cheng recognized the voice.
When filming, Rong Xu also often sang, but at that time there was no good radio equipment, he just sang acapella. But now, with better equipment and more professional tuners, the advantages of this sound are infinitely amplified, and the already rare shortcomings can no longer be found.
At this time, Xu Jin finally walked to the door of the recording studio. He was about to ask, "Why don't you go in?" when he suddenly heard the voice.
His mouth slowly closed, and Xu Jin also stood at the door, listening quietly. When the last sentence of the lyrics ended, he quietly turned his head to look at the man beside him, only to see that Qin Cheng's handsome and noble face seemed to loosen a little, and the originally cold brows seemed to soften a little for no reason.
The next moment, Qin Cheng pushed in the door directly, and what he saw was the boy who had just finished singing and still had his eyes closed.
No one in the room thought that Qin Cheng would appear here, Luo Zhentao and the two staff members widened their eyes in surprise. And although Zhao Kun knew that Qin Cheng would come, he didn't know it would come so early.
The sound insulation of this room is really good, Rong Xu didn't hear the door opening, and when he opened his eyes and saw the other party, he was also surprised.
The next thing is extremely simple. Qin Cheng just came to care about the music recording of "Black Clouds". Through the glass, he calmly nodded with Rong Xu and sat on the sofa beside him.
When the two greeted, Qin Cheng still had a paralyzed face, as if he really only cared about the movies he was shooting out of his professional ethics. It's just that his eyes have been fixed on the boy on the other side of the glass. When the boy closed his eyes and sang softly, he quietly raised the corners of his lips and listened quietly.
At noon, Zhao Kun made some suggestions for Rong Xu's recording, and was busy for another afternoon.
The two staff members had planned to fight for a long time, but they did not expect that at four o'clock in the afternoon, when Rong Xu finished singing again, Zhao Kun looked at Rong Xu in the recording studio inexplicably. Nodding lightly, he finally smiled: "Very good, you can pass that time just now."
Upon hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
The song "Lost Wings" is really good, and Rong Xu sings it very well, but if you listen to it seventy or eighty times... it will torture a madman.
Xu Jin had already taken advantage of the noon break to hide, but Luo Zhentao, as Rong Xu's manager, could not leave so easily, and could only stay in the recording studio honestly.
But what makes people strange is that Qin Cheng actually stayed in the recording studio without leaving, and listened carefully for six or seven hours.
After receiving Zhao Kun's affirmation, Rong Xu finally took off the heavy headphones and walked out of the recording studio. Over there, Zhao Kun was telling the staff to deal with a few small details, while Rong Xu took the coat handed over by Luo Zhentao and walked towards Qin Cheng.
In the early spring evening, there was still a faint coolness in the air.
Qin Cheng was wearing a thin dark black coat and a light hemp wool scarf. There was no expression on his handsome and noble face, and he looked a bit cold and difficult to get close to. Seeing the other party, Rong Xu couldn't help laughing, and said, "I thought you had finished the project long ago. You should not be in City S anymore. Have you never returned to City B, Qin Cheng?"
Not far away, when Zhao Kun heard Rong Xu's words, he turned his eyes to look at them in surprise. Obviously, he did not expect that the relationship between Rong Xu and Qin Cheng was so good.
The old people of Huaxia Entertainment know that Qin Cheng is not easy to get along with. Even actors who have worked with him may not necessarily become friends - for example, Xia Muyan, she and Qin Cheng have worked together on a movie before, and they have collaborated again recently. An upcoming "Disciple", but the two don't seem to have had much to do with each other in private.
The golden sunlight shone from the window behind Qin Cheng and fell on the boy's body, reflecting a light-colored golden border. Perhaps the sunlight was too soft, and the already delicate face was beautiful and illusory against the sunlight.
Qin Cheng watched Rong Xu put on his coat.
This young man seems to like wearing a white sweater. This sweater is different from what Qin Cheng has seen before. The high collar completely hides the slender collarbone, and only a small section of the white neck is exposed, which is fascinating. .
Just glanced at it with a faint gaze, Qin Cheng quickly turned his eyes away, and said calmly, "Just in the past two days to deal with a little thing in S city." After a pause, he saw that Rong Xu had completely put on his coat , his voice could not help lowering a little, and said: "You sang very well just now."
Hearing such a compliment, Rong Xu smiled slightly: "I hope Director Liang can be satisfied. He told me before that if I can't sing this song well, he will go crazy."
The two said a few more words, and soon the staff processed all the music that had just been recorded, played it out, and asked Zhao Kun to review it for the last time.
Listening to her own voice coming from the stereo, Rong Xu beat the beat with the music, carefully looking for her own shortcomings. After listening to it about three times, Zhao Kun finally nodded in agreement.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Kun also smiled and looked at Rong Xu, and said seriously: "This time is really good, it is the best song I have heard in the past two years."
Hearing this, Rong Xu was slightly startled, smiled and nodded: "Thank you for the compliment, Brother Zhao."
Zhao Kun waved his hand and looked like he didn't care, but the two staff members beside him were all stunned.
To get such an evaluation from Director Zhao... This Rong Xu is really amazing!
A good piece is not only about composing and writing lyrics, but also about the person who sings it. Good songs are always complemented by works and singers. Zhao Kun produces many music works every year, many of which have sold millions, but he actually said that this song "Lost Wings" was the one he had heard in the past two years. the best.
For a while, the two staff members looked at Rong Xu differently.
On the other hand, Zhao Kun also stared at Rong Xu with a smile on his face, his eyes wandering, not knowing what he was thinking.
Rong Xu spent the next three days in the recording studio. The song he wants to record is not only "Lost Wings", but also eight episodes and a theme song. The theme song is naturally "Black Clouds", this song is more difficult, because Ling Xiaozhuyu is in front, how to express another version of "Black Clouds" is extremely challenging.
This song "Black Clouds" was also recorded for a whole day, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, until the end of the song, even Rong Xu felt that he had entered some misunderstanding, and why he could not satisfy Zhao Kun.
On the other side, Xu Jin didn't know when he got together with Luo Zhentao, and the two whispered, "How do you feel about singing?"
Luo Zhentao took it for granted that he defended his own artist: "It's very good!" The tone was sincere, and there was absolutely no lie.
Xu Jin also nodded sharply: "No, I think it's already very good. I've heard Ling Xiao's version many times, and it's also very good, but it's different from the one you sing by Rong Xu. In terms of voice and skills, Rong Xu may be better. It's a little bit different from Ling Xiao, but it's not too far from it. You said that this time, how many times do you have to sing it to end?"
Hearing this, Luo Zhentao immediately grimaced: "Xiao Xu is not a professional singer, how can he compare with Ling Xiao. And even if he is a professional singer, there will be a Ling Xiao in the entire Chinese music scene. If Director Zhao really takes Ling Xiao treat Xiaoxu with the same standard... We won't be able to finish recording tonight, right?"
"Black Clouds" is Ling Xiao's representative work, and it is also regarded as a very perfect work by Zhao Kun.
It would be too embarrassing if Rong Xu had to sing to that level in order to pass it!
When Rong Xu sang it for the ninety-seventh time, a certain man who had been sitting on the sofa finally couldn't sit still.
Qin Cheng slowly got up and walked towards Zhao Kun. At this time, Zhao Kun was proposing some revisions with Rong Xu. Rong Xu nodded in agreement, and took another sip of water to moisten his throat.
The soft music sounded again, and along with this Shuya prelude, Rong Xu slowly closed his eyes and waited for the first lyrics. In the recording room, the man's low and magnetic voice interrupted the melodious music: "If Rong Xu is not in a good state today, why not record it tomorrow?"
Zhao Kun looked at Qin Cheng in surprise and replied, "Is Rong Xu not in good condition?"
Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and Qin Cheng asked indifferently, "If he is in good condition, will he sing until ninety-seven times."
Zhao Kun was stunned for a moment, and he asked subconsciously, "How do you know it's ninety-seven times?"
These words fell in the ears of Luo Zhentao and Xu Jin, and they quietly turned to look at the man. Qin Cheng calmly closed his eyes and said casually, "I have a good memory."
Luo Zhentao: "..."
Xu Jin: "..."
Zhao Kun: "..."
... Even if you have this memory, you have nothing to do to remember how many times Rong Xu sang it!
Although he said so, Zhao Kun vaguely noticed that Qin Cheng's attitude seemed to be a little subtle... unhappy. Zhao Kun didn't understand why the other party was unhappy. However, considering that the person in front of him was one of the shareholders of Huaxia Entertainment, and his identity and status could not be ignored, he had to be patient and explained, "It's about to be recorded."
Without waiting for Qin Cheng's response, Xu Jin said in surprise: "Hey, is it almost finished? Is there any difference between the last dozen times and the previous ones? I didn't hear it at all."
Luo Zhentao just wanted to express his approval, but before he could speak, a clear and pleasant singing sounded from the sound, interrupting his words.
In an instant, Qin Cheng's body froze, and he slowly turned his head to look at the young man opposite the glass. Zhao Kun's eyes lit up even more, and he looked at Rong Xu in surprise. He listened carefully to the singing of each note. When he heard the end of the first sentence, he couldn't help but nod his head to the beat.
"Summer is over, wait for you for another year."
"Black clouds fly over the sky, and when I look back, I meet your smiling face..."
The handsome and elegant young man held the recording microphone with his right hand, and slowly sang this song belonging to his first love with a soft and lingering voice. There was a faint tremor in his voice, as if there was a youthful youthfulness, no longer as perfect and impeccable as before.
But it is precisely this sense of innocence that makes Zhao Kun's eyes brighter and brighter.
Qin Cheng stared blankly at the boy opposite the glass. When he sang the phrase "Maybe one day, we can go to the last stop of our life", Rong Xu slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes inadvertently fell into a pair of deep and serene eyes. in the eyes.
At first, he was a little surprised, but soon, Rong Xu raised the corners of his lips, and his beautiful eyebrows curved slightly. Rong sang the second chorus while showing a gentle smile to Qin Cheng.
This smile didn't have too many complicated meanings, but those bright and clear eyes made Qin Cheng abruptly startled, and he didn't return to his senses for a long time. Until Zhao Kun excitedly announced the official end of this recording, the song "Black Clouds" and that gentle and long smile were still playing back in his mind.
"We can go to the last station of our life. 』
That night, Qin Cheng and Rong Xu took the same flight back to City B.
Originally, Luo Zhentao wanted to invite Zhao Kun to have a meal together and build a good relationship. Who would have thought that Zhao Kun would be busy with the music production of the movie "Black Clouds" and declined his invitation. When sending Rong Xu away from the company, Zhao Kun held his hand and said meaningfully: "Maybe we will have the opportunity to meet in the future, Rong Xu, you sing very well."
A strange color flashed in his eyes, Rong Xu smiled and nodded: "Brother Zhao, your production level is also very good."
Zhao Kun laughed and said nothing more.
The silver plane took off from Hongqiao Airport and soon disappeared into the dark night. When the four of them arrived at the Capital Airport, Luo Zhentao wanted to leave directly, but Xu Jin smiled and led them to the VIP channel, quietly avoiding the crowd and leaving the Capital Airport.
It was the first time for Rong Xu to walk through the VIP passage of the Capital Airport. After getting out of the elevator, it was directly in the underground parking lot.
Xu Jin took out his car keys, and while walking, he said carelessly: "There is no such thing as a feast in the world, so let's part ways here. Xiao Luo, send Rong Xu away, be careful of the paparazzi. There are quite a few paparazzi, probably in the garage, just keep an eye on them."
Hearing this, Luo Zhentao was stunned: "I will send Xiaoxu?"
Xu Jin stopped and turned to look at Luo Zhentao, who was stunned. Instead, he laughed and asked, "Why, you don't send your artist home, do you still want me to send him home?"
Luo Zhentao hesitated for a moment, and before he could speak, he heard Qin Cheng's hoarse voice: "Give me the key."
Xu Jin was stunned for a while.
Qin Cheng looked up at him and said calmly, "Give me the key. Get into Luo Zhentao's car and let him take you away. I'll go back with Rong Xu."
Xu Jin: "..."
After a while, Xu Jin couldn't help but ask, "You and Rong Xu are going back together, where are you going?"
Luo Zhentao interrupted involuntarily: "Brother Xu, don't you know that Xiaoxu rented Mr. Qin's house and lived with him?"
Xu Jin: "...!!!" If you don't say anything, who would know!
Xu Jin's face turned green and white, he looked at Luo Zhentao, Luo Zhentao's expression "Qin Cheng is your artist, do you not care about him at all"; he looked at Rong Xu again, this seemingly gentle and close young man He kept a soft smile all the time, but you couldn't understand what he was thinking at all. As for a man...
Don't even look at it! He didn't even tell his agent about renting out the house, so this kind of guy still needs to look at him
Xu Jin got into Luo Zhentao's car in a gloomy mood. The car hadn't started yet, and Xu Jin's complaints could be heard through the window glass: "You know what, I really envy you. Your family Rong Xu is so nice to serve you. It's only been half a year since I debuted, and I've made so many scenes. I'm diligent and conscientious. Who is like that? One movie a year hits the sky, and he shows me all day long, and now he doesn't even tell me about renting a house. You say whether I am suffering or not, you say whether I am tired..."
Qin Cheng: "…"
Rong Xu couldn't help but let out a low laugh, Qin Cheng immediately turned to look at him, the young man stopped smiling instantly and looked calm.
Qin Cheng lowered his eyes and said indifferently, "Xu Jin has always said a lot, so don't take it seriously."
Rong Xu nodded solemnly: "Well, I didn't take it seriously."
Qin Cheng: "...you really don't have to take it seriously."
Rong Xu looked up at him and replied more seriously, "I really didn't take it seriously."
Qin Cheng: "…"
Qin Cheng's car was a black Mushang, and it seemed that it was revealed by his manager in public just now. Along the way, Qin Cheng kept his face calm and kept silent.
After returning to the apartment, the two took the elevator upstairs together, and Rong Xu said casually, "When will I give you next month's rent?"
The elevator stopped with a "ding-" sound, Qin Cheng's heart moved slightly, but he still looked indifferent on the surface. He considered it for a moment, and said lightly in the calmest tone as possible: "It doesn't matter if you don't pay the rent."
Rong Xu smiled and said, "I have to give it, so how about I give it to you next week?"
Qin Cheng turned his head and looked at Rong Xu. Looking at this young man with a bright smile, he clearly thought in his heart, "I really don't need to give it", but when he said it, it changed to: "In another two weeks." Qin Cheng pursed his lips as soon as the words landed. , the fingers hidden in the pockets twitched slightly.
... Why can't I say it again!
Rong Xu smiled and nodded. He wanted to say, "Then it will be another two weeks", but before the words came out, he heard a sharp female voice roaring in an incredible tone: "Rent?! You actually want my room. Rong Rong gives you rent? Qin Cheng, that's how you take care of my family? Rong Rong lives with you, and you dare to ask for rent!!!"
Qin Cheng: "…"
Rong Xu: "… "
The author has something to say: Aunt Qin: My heart is so cute, how could you be willing to charge him rent!
Qin Chengcheng: ... (Actually, I also think he is very cute... )
Rongrong: Actually, some people are quite cute ^_^~
