Chapter 314 The Woman's Flower

Minghu Culture, recording studio.

Behind a transparent glass wall, Liao Liao was closing his eyes and slowly adjusting his breathing.

Outside the glass wall, there were four people sitting. Besides a sound engineer, there were also Li Qian, He Runqing, and Zhou Ye who happened to come to hang out.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Li Qian took Xie Bing back to Shuntian Mansion.

The next day, Liao Liao also came back, and afterward, Li Qian made a phone call with He Runqing, and they hit it off immediately, before the ordinary employees in the company resumed work, the three of them returned to the company first and started working .

By the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the staff returned to their posts one after another, but Liao Liao and the others had already been in the company for two days, and the recording status that had to be cut off because of participating in the Spring Festival Gala a year ago had also been recovered.

Speaking of this, I have to mention, plus in his previous life, Li Qian has been in the music circle for twenty years. He Runqing is simply a model and role model for all singers. Li Qian has known and heard of so many professional singers in the past two generations. They are definitely one of the top few people. Their voices are almost Available anytime, anywhere.

Like Zhou Ye, of course he is also dedicated to his work, and he also pays great attention to protecting his voice. He used to have a very bright and high-pitched voice, but when he came back after a year, he heard that Liao Liao was working overtime at Minghu Company. When we came over as guests, everyone talked and laughed. The stability and brightness of his voice could only be 60% of the normal level at best. Open your mouth, that's definitely a score of eighty-five!

After two days of adjustments, she felt completely recovered, and her voice could reach a score of over 95 at any time—this is a super golden stat for a singer!

Zhou Ye was totally in admiration for this.

Inside the glass wall, Liao Liao felt that his breathing was well-balanced. He opened his mouth to test a few sounds, and then went outside to compare his thumbs.

The sound engineer looked over to Li Qian, who nodded and said, "Let's start!"

While talking, several people put on monitoring headphones.

When the music started, Liao Liao squinted his eyes, swayed his body slightly with the music, and then pinched his breath and opened his voice on time, "I have a flower, which is planted in my heart. , I am eagerly waiting for someone with a heart to come to dream."

Zhou Ye shook his head when he heard it, with a look of great enjoyment.

He Runqing closed her eyes and nodded slowly following Liao Liao's singing, as if to praise Liao Liao's meticulous grasp of the song's emotion.

But at this time, Li Qian was hugging his shoulders and staring at Liao Liao who was still shaking behind the glass wall.

From a technical point of view, it is hard to say what kind of test the song "Women's Flower" will have on Liao Liao. In fact, with Liao Liao's ability to master its melody and lyrics, it takes almost no effort. Even if it is the elegant and subtle feelings, there is almost no problem for her.

For producers, it is hard to find even if you want to pick the bones in the egg.

What can trouble Li Qian can only be the classic voice from his previous life.

Anita Mui's voice is not absolutely excellent, especially compared to Liao Liao's level of voice, her comprehensive singing skills, the excellence of her voice, and even her control over her own voice are obviously inferior, but , Anita Mui is a singer who is particularly good at using her own voice, especially the deep magnetism in her voice, which is affectionate and tactful. She has counted the Chinese pop music scene for 30 to 40 years, not to mention surpassing, anyone who can break the wrist with her, No more than one slap.

Therefore, the Mei version of "Women's Flower" inevitably became a hurdle in Li Qian's heart.

But it’s okay, whether it’s because seeing Li Qian name the new album “Women’s Flower” made Liao Liao feel how much he valued this song, or whether the song itself really moved her, in short, in the On the basis of treating every song with great care, Liao Liao had to pay more attention to the work "Women's Flower". Therefore, the version she performed almost left Li Qian speechless.

For the first time, in the second verse, there was a little bit of breathlessness. In the second time, it seemed that her voice was not fully opened, and she did not dive enough, and did not fully express what the song needed. The magnetic interpretation in the bass was perfect, the third time, after singing three lines, Liao Liao interrupted by himself, it seemed that something was wrong.

However, this fourth time, she did it impeccably.

... ... ...

Liao Liao sang emotionally, and Li Qian listened engrossed.

It wasn't until the sound of the music fell completely that Liao Liao opened his eyes, and the sound engineer gave her a thumbs up. Liao Liao smiled, and then he noticed Li Qian's abnormality.

He seemed to be looking at himself, but when they looked at each other, he found that he was actually distracted.

His eyes are blank and unfocused.

He Runqing took the lead in applauding, while Zhou Ye shook his head and sighed, applauding while sighing, "Sister Liao's singing skills are really... admirable!"

Applause and voices woke up Li Qian.

Noticing Liao Liao's inquiring gaze, Li Qian smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up, then turned to look at the sound engineer and asked, "How is the effect?"

The sound engineer shrugged and said with a smile, "Of course it's perfect in my opinion."

Li Qian smiled, turned his head to look at He Runqing and Zhou Ye, Zhou Ye immediately raised his thumb, "No problem, perfect!", He Runqing also nodded, "I think it should be all right."

Li Qian nodded, and leaned back on the chair, rubbing his chin with his right hand.

Several people in the recording studio couldn't help but fell silent.

Of course Zhou Ye was a little surprised, but he really couldn't figure it out. Liao and Liao had already sung to this level, why Li Qian was not happy at all, but looked full of melancholy. At a glance, each other's eyes are very puzzled.

Only Liao Liao, who was behind the glass wall, was not in a hurry at all. He just put his hands in his pockets, didn't say anything, and was not in a hurry to come out. He just looked at Li Qian through the glass wall.

After a while, Li Qian got up and walked slowly in the recording studio.

Everyone is staring.

After a while, Zhou Ye leaned over and whispered to the sound engineer, "Play it back for me."

The sound engineer nodded, but before he could move, He Runqing made a silencing gesture, raised his index finger, and "shh" at the two of them with a very serious expression.

Zhou Ye was taken aback for a moment.

Seeing the seriousness in He Runqing's eyes, he blinked and didn't dare to say anything, but turned to look at Li Qian immediately.

In this circle, Li Qian's ability to write songs has long been no longer questioned by anyone, and his ability to produce and supervise is also well-known in the circle. However, no matter how rumored people outside are, no matter how good-natured people say, they are not as good as those who have worked with him personally, and the feelings are deeper.

Like Liao Liao, like He Runqing, like the disbanded Wuxingwusu, when they cooperated with Li Qian, no matter whether they were penniless or famous, each of them obeyed Li Qian's words, almost There was never even the slightest doubt.

They almost unconditionally trust and rely on Li Qian's feeling and his grasp and control of the works.

And whenever a situation like the present happens, when Li Qian falls into some kind of deep thought in the recording studio, they will subconsciously keep absolutely quiet, and they don't want to have the slightest interference and influence on Li Qian's thoughts.

Because whenever this happens, it often means that there will be a big adjustment in the direction of the next recording.

And the facts have been proven time and time again: his adjustments are always correct.

... ... ...

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Only Li Qian's slow and stiff footsteps kept ringing.

Everyone even breathed lightly on purpose, waiting patiently for him to think clearly.

After a few minutes, finally, he stood still, took a deep breath, turned around suddenly and walked back, without pressing the call button, he said loudly to Liao Liao through the glass wall: "Pick up the score, pay attention, and try to lower it by half a K. Give it a try."

He Runqing froze for a moment, then frowned and thought hard, but Zhou Ye opened his mouth in surprise when he heard the words.

A song is about to be recorded, but it suddenly has to drop half a K. This drop sounds simple, but for a singer, it is more difficult to practice a song from the beginning to find the feeling. Even more difficult! Not to mention that the previously recorded accompaniment will also be invalidated, and it will have to be rehearsed and re-recorded.

However, when Li Qian said a word, Liao Liao was stunned for a moment, then picked up the score on the stand in front of him, and started to read the score, while He Runqing just frowned and thought hard for a moment, then nodded, unexpectedly did not publish it Even an opinion.

The two biggest big names in the recording studio didn't speak, and they had no objection. Zhou Ye just came over with a stern face and insisted on listening. Of course, it was even more impossible.

However, after saying the request, he opened the chair and sat down. Li Qian thought about it again, grabbed the microphone again, pressed the call button, and said to Liao Liao inside: "Don't think about anything else, I just want to try, so , Find K, there is no accompaniment for you, just sing a few lines, let me listen to it and feel good."

Hearing this, Liao Liao raised his head and nodded outside.

Then, she looked down at the score again, and began to hum in a low voice.

At this time, He Runqing finally came over and asked in a low voice, "Do you think the effect of lowering half K would be better?"

Normally, Li Qian would have to explain a few words to her. In many cases, even if He Runqing didn't take the initiative to ask, in order to cultivate her behind-the-scenes production ability, Li Qian would always take the initiative to explain to her whenever similar changes happened. . But this time, He Runqing took the initiative to ask. After hesitating for a while, Li Qian just smiled and said: "It's just a feeling. I suddenly want to try to dive a little bit more. The effect is not certain."

He Runqing nodded, picked up the score beside her, grabbed a pen, and made gestures on it, marking all the falling K's, and then hummed softly.

For this kind of situation, the sound engineer is already used to it, and he didn't feel any difference. Zhou Ye, who was watching Li Qian's work up close for the first time, was a little surprised and surprised. He Runqing and Liao Liao turned around.

... ... ...

A full ten minutes passed, and apart from Liao Liao and He Runqing humming softly inside and outside the glass wall, there was no sound in the recording studio.

Liao Liao was still looking down for the feeling of a new K, and He Runqing was also frowning and humming softly, as if trying to understand the reason why Li Qian suddenly asked to drop half a K.

But at this time, Li Qian, who had been keeping his eyes closed, sighed, then opened his eyes, pressed the call button, and said into the microphone: "Forget it, don't practice, just follow the version just now, it's actually good enough Already!"

Liao Liao raised his head in astonishment.

He Runqing also looked over in surprise.

Inside and outside the glass wall, everyone looked at Li Qian in puzzlement.

Li Qian made a gesture, as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end, he just smiled wryly, shook his head and said: "It was just a sudden thought just now, but I thought about it just now, and I still think it's okay." No matter if you don’t try it, in fact, the one time just now was really good enough, so that’s fine too.”

Except for Li Qian, in this time and space, it is impossible for anyone to have heard Anita Mui's version of "Women's Flower", and it is even more impossible for anyone to have such a "bass complex", and it is impossible for Li Qian to tell the real reason.

In fact, combined with the characteristics of Liao Liao's voice, the Liao Liao version of "Women's Flower" has already been promoted to K by Li Qian when it was shown to Liao Liao, which is more suitable for Liao Liao's voice.

Therefore, when Li Qian came out of that complex, he quickly figured out that it was just a certain smell in his memory that was causing trouble. Liao Liao's version, which had been promoted to K, was actually no worse than Anita Mui's version. .

That being the case, let's put aside memory and complex.

In this world, there will be no Mei version of "Women's Flower" anymore, and it will be Liao Liao's version of "Woman's Flower" that will soon become a classic.

But there is no doubt that at this time, Li Qian's sudden decision to come and go suddenly, just based on his few simple explanations, is not enough to clear up the doubts of the two experts, Liao Liao and He Runqing.

After all, this is not a minor adjustment, it is a sudden proposal to lower the K when the recording can be announced to be completed!

So, after thinking for a while, Liao Liao suddenly said: "I was looking for a feeling just now, and it seems to be pretty good, how about I sing a few lines first, listen to it?"

He Runqing nodded immediately when she heard the words, and said to Li Qian in an agreeable way: "I tried it just now, although it was already low enough, but if it is lowered by half a K, it seems to have a different flavor? Let Liao Liao try it! This range, Although it's a bit low, Liao Liao's voice is still fine. If I remember correctly, her voice is also very nice in this range."

Hearing this, Li Qian looked at Liao Liao, then at He Runqing, rubbed his palm on his chin for a moment, shook his head helplessly and smiled, but finally said to Liao Liao: "That's fine, if you are willing to try, then try."

Liao Liao nodded, then looked down at the score again.

After a while, she opened her mouth to sing a cappella: "I have a flower, planted in my heart, ready to be released..."

After swiping, Zhou Ye subconsciously shivered.

At that moment, Liao Liao's deep and magnetic voice seemed to pierce his soul, making him feel like all the hairs on his body stood up all at once!

"... Chao Zhao and Mu Mu, I am eagerly waiting for someone with a heart to fall into the dream. Female flowers, swaying in the world of mortals, female flowers, gently swaying with the wind. I only hope that there will be a pair of warm hands that can comfort my heart loneliness."

In the beginning, Liao Liao's voice was slightly jerky, and it was not as round and smooth as the original K that he had already practiced. But as he sang, it seemed that Liao Liao himself felt that after his voice dived half a K again, then Kind of gentle and affectionate, so the more she sang, the more she devoted herself, and the more she sang, the more affectionate she became.

By the end, she had almost forgotten herself.

Just like before, her body swayed slightly, and she closed her eyes emotionally.

But at this moment, Li Qian was looking at her bewilderedly.

There was a sore feeling at the end of his nose, halfway through hearing it, he couldn't help but tilt his head back hard, and managed to control some kind of throbbing in his heart.

This is the feeling, this is the taste!

Even if Mei Gu came back to life, even if Mei Gu heard it personally, we should applaud her!

... ... ...

After singing a cappella, Liao Liao slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Qian outside the glass wall with a smile on his face.

Li Qian also smiled and gave her a thumbs up, making no secret of his agitation and admiration in his heart.

But at this time, not only He Runqing and Zhou Ye, but even the sound engineer looked at Li Qian in surprise—obviously, this song finally evolved to this point, as a person who experienced it from beginning to end, although he It is very likely that it is the one with the lowest musical level among the few people present, but it is the one with the deepest feeling.

And the most important thing is that after the K-drop, the moving level of this song, even for him who has listened to it countless times, still has a kind of shock as if his soul has been pierced.

After a while, He Runqing took the lead in applauding.

Then Zhou Ye seemed to wake up from a big dream, and suddenly clapped along excitedly.

He Runqing shook her head and sighed, "It's great! This song makes me feel as if it suddenly came to life!" While speaking, she did not hide her face and eyes full of admiration, and looked at Li Qian seriously. , said: "You really... ah, I simply don't know what to say!"

While speaking, she turned her head to look at Liao Liao again, smiled and waved to Liao Liao.

Liao Liao took off the headset, opened the door and walked out.

He Runqing smiled and asked: "Your voice is really...diving down here, does it feel difficult? Bass is not your best range, but you still have such a performance, I am speechless."

Liao Liao smiled, "Fortunately, it's a little tight, and it should be fine after turning around a few times."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Li Qian and said with a smile: "Then follow this version?"

Li Qian nodded and said with a smile: "OK, no problem. I'll arrange someone to re-record the accompaniment later."

Liao Liao nodded and smiled slowly.

At this time, Zhou Ye stood up suddenly, straightened his hands, raised them high, first bowed solemnly in Li Qian's direction, then turned around, and bowed three times to Liao Liao.

Everyone looked at him with smiles on their faces.

Liao Liao was the most familiar with him and had frequent contacts with him, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Ye didn't speak, just bowed.

As a singer, he is of course extremely curious about Li Qian, the legendary figure in today's music scene, and he has wondered how many times he would have thought about what would happen if Li Qian could personally help him create an album, but What is the concept of Li Qian helping to create an album? How does it feel?

In the past, Zhou Ye didn't understand, and couldn't imagine.

But now, apart from the popular albums one after another and the data and records one after another, Zhou Ye felt as if he had suddenly seen another mountain.

So, after worshiping, he solemnly said: "I am worshiping gods, you are simply gods!"

Liao Liao laughed loudly.

After resting for a few days, I thought it would take at least a few days, and I had to write for a few days in a row to gradually regain the state of the codeword, but I found out that it feels good after writing!
