China Entertainment 2000

Recording songs is actually a very boring thing, especially in the year 2000 when the current trend has not completely fallen.

In this day and age, for 99% of singers, demanding studio albums usually require them to put on a mask of pain by the end.

Sometimes I can dig out the details of just four or five lines of lyrics more than ten times, which can be said to be torture.

To be honest, Zhou Yi was skeptical about this statement before he officially started recording.

It’s not like he hasn’t recorded music in the Imperial Capital. Although it’s just a demo, it can be considered a demo of a studio song after all.

Unfortunately, he was proven wrong.

Not only is it wrong, it’s incredibly wrong.

"This sentence doesn't feel right. Zhou Yi, your pronunciation should be clearer, and the stress and lightness should be separated more clearly, so that there will be a more obvious sense of paragraph and rhythm.

"And Zhang Shaohan, your voice is good, but your mood is not lively enough, you know what I mean? "Happy Worship" is a cheerful song, both the lyrics and the style are happy and sunny.

"You have to keep the tone quality while making your voice full of emotion as much as possible, rather than being short of breath and not having enough breakfast..."

In the recording room, Li Sisong took off his monitoring earphones and met with the two people who came to him. Zhou Yi secretly bared his teeth with his rambling instructions.

Nearly four and a half hours have passed since Zhang Shaohan arrived in the morning. It's almost half past twelve, and he hasn't even finished recording half of the song.

Zhang Shaohan's rogue voice is indeed worthy of God's reward, but it is a pity that she is not the perfect Zhang Shaohan in the future, and there are still many areas that need to be polished.

Although Zhou Yi's musical knowledge does not come from a professional music school and he is considered a wild player in the record company's judgment system, his voice function is really good and he is full of emotion.

The biggest reason for being repeatedly stopped is that the music training and education in mainland China in this era is indeed different from that in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which makes his articulation habits somewhat uncomfortable.

In addition, he also has some flaws unique to his wild background...

Of course, these are not problems for Li Sisong, a music veteran. As long as he is given time, these problems can be solved.

At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind: after Sun Yanzi, he encountered two more uncut pieces of jade.

The only pity is that Zhang Shaohan is already a member of Foremost Records, unlike Zhou Yi who signed a contract with Warner.

He wanted to go to Zhou Jianhui to see if he could try to recruit Zhang Shaohan from Fu Mao.

Sun Yanzi, who was helping on the side, saw Zhang Shaohan with his head lowered and his hands so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put them and could only keep pulling on his jeans legs. He quickly said to smooth things over: "Teacher, it's already this time, let's rest first." Come on, I'll have lunch too."

"Huh? Is it almost half past twelve? Okay, let's do this for now. Miss Zhang, please think more about the key points I said.

"And Zhou Yi, it's better for you to be more scientific in your vocal method. Now your voice function is at its peak and you can do whatever you want. But once your voice function declines and your singing method is unscientific, your voice may lose a certain texture... …”

He looked up at the time on the clock and realized that it was already dinner time. Li Sisong left the two of them with directions for training improvement before leaving. Then he turned to look at Sun Yanzi: "Stefanie, in terms of singing, You are Zhou Yi's senior, you can teach him more."

Stefanie, Sun Yanzi’s English name.

Probably because they are both Singaporeans, Li Sisong often switches between Chinese and English names when calling Sun Yanzi.

Sun Yanzi nodded, indicating that he understood: "OK, leave it to me."

After Li Sisong left, Zhou Yi, whose scalp was numb from the torture of the recording, felt as if his bones had been taken away, and he collapsed directly on the nearest chair——

He raised his head and stared at the ceiling, his handsome features instantly put on a mask of pain: "Ah, I'm so exhausted. Why is it so tiring to record a sound? I've also recorded demos in mainland China.

"I feel like my voice is almost no longer my own."

Zhang Shaohan, who had no intention of complaining, apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou. I made too many mistakes. I'm really sorry."

Children of poor people have long been in charge of the family. When she was in Canada, she won most of the electrical appliances used in the house from participating in singing competitions. For this reason, she once thought that her singing skills were extremely good.

Who would have thought that after coming to Baodao, I would realize that I was sitting in a well and looking at the sky.

After finally studying at Fu Mao for such a long time, she actually resented Fu Mao for not releasing records to her. But after today's recording session, she really understood that she might or might not have met the standards for debut...

"No, there's no need to apologize. I'm not a savage beast. It's okay if I don't record well. What's more, your tone is really great."

Zhou Yi raised his hand lazily, and his familiar tone did not sound like he meant to blame, which somewhat relieved Zhang Shaohan.

She was really afraid that this creative genius would get angry and directly end her possibility of taking this job.

After all, she was short of money.

"Zhou Yi is right. Miss Zhang, your tone is very suitable for this song. As for the problems, novices will have them, so it's not a big problem."

Sun Yanzi, who was leaning on the corner of the table, smiled and said with relief: "You guys were scolded when I first entered the recording studio. I almost cried."

"real or fake?"

Zhou Yi, who heard this, was very curious. He straightened his head and said, "Did you cry in the end?"

Sun Yanzi glanced at him strangely: "Is this the point?"

"Otherwise, that's the key point for me, because I can't imagine you, senior sister, crying when you are scolded."

"You can't see the way I cry when I'm scolded, but I think you might be able to see the way you cry when I'm scolded." Sun Yanzi, who seemed to be a bit gossipy, raised his eyebrows: "Don't forget Teacher Li Sisong asked me to correct your pronunciation method."

"Really? Then I'll wait and see, Teacher Sun Yanzi." Zhou Yi, who was unmoved, smiled and said, "It's time to go eat now."

The little transparent Zhang Shaohan who couldn't get in the conversation quickly jumped out to show his presence: "Um, Mr. Zhou, Miss Sun, let me treat you at noon today. I want to apologize to you two for my poor performance this morning."

Even if your wallet is tight, this is not the time to be stingy.

Zhou Yi glanced at Stefanie Sun, and the two looked at each other and smiled. Then he stood up from the chair, stretched his waist comfortably, and waved his hands nonchalantly: "Since you are so determined to apologize, then wait until you become a big star and have money before you invite me to dinner and apologize. I owe you this meal first.”

Zhang Shaohan was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "What?"

"I'm optimistic about you and think you have the potential to be a big star, so I'll just pay you for this meal."

Zhou Yi, who knew Zhang Shaohan's family background, did not expose her already tight financial situation. Instead, he joked about it: "It just so happens that Miss Sun Yanzi is going to be my teacher, so this meal will be my apprenticeship meal." , you just happen to be a witness."
