Freelance Artist

After arriving at the Thirteenth Music Department, Lin Zhibai went to the recording studio to wait for others. He and the sound engineer were basically familiar with each other after recording songs for a few days last time.

"Teacher Baidi!"

When the sound engineer saw Lin Zhibai coming, he quickly got up and greeted him warmly.

Bai Di was still a rookie when recording "Dissipating Sorrow". When the two met today, the other party had already placed second in last month's season rankings. The sound engineer was naturally enthusiastic.

"Old King."

Lin Zhibai also greeted the other party with a smile, and the sound engineer called himself Lao Wang.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Lin Zhibai took out the rough sample that had been exported from the system, and discussed with the other party the points that should be paid attention to when recording later.

Not long.

Lao Wang suddenly looked outside from a distance, his expression changed, and he muttered subconsciously:

"He didn't come to audition, did he..."

Lin Zhibai followed Lao Wang's gaze and was slightly taken aback.

There are employees and entertainers coming and going in Shinhwa Entertainment, but no matter whether they are employees or entertainers, most of them attach great importance to their appearance.

But the man who was walking outside had disheveled hair and a beard that hadn't been shaved for a long time. Although he was neatly dressed, the clothes had been washed and faded, and he didn't fit in with the surrounding environment.

"Who is this?" Lin Zhibai asked.

"He is Zhang Xiyang, a very popular first-line singer three years ago, but now he is no longer recognized by passers-by on the street. It's a pity." Old Wang smacked his lips.

"so."

Lin Zhibai was not in the mood to pay attention to the gossip in the entertainment industry during the three years when he was autistic. It seems that he will have to find time to learn more about singers in the future.

"What happened to him?"

"I don't know the details. Anyway, Zhang Xiyang hasn't heard much since the divorce, and he rarely shows up at the company. I heard that he grows flowers and grass at home when he has nothing to do. It seems like a different person."

At this time.

Zhang Xiyang had already arrived at the door of the recording studio, and knocked on the door lightly, his voice slightly vicissitudes.

"Excuse me, is Teacher Baidi here?"

"I am the White Emperor."

Lin Zhibai was a little embarrassed. He also thought about how to understand the stage name his sister gave him to make it appear connotative.

Is it the Baidi in Li Bai's "Chaoci Baidi Caiyunjian"?

Or is it the Baidi in Du Fu's "White Emperor City Zhong Yun went out, Baidi City rained and turned pots"?

In the end, I couldn't lie to myself.

My sister doesn't know these poems at all. The so-called Baidi is my sister's "Baidi", although at first it sounds like a little bit of secondary school.

"Hey, Teacher Baidi, hello."

Zhang Xiyang looked a little rough on the outside, and his attitude towards Lin Zhibai was not very enthusiastic, but he was also polite.

"Hi, let's familiarize ourselves with the song first."

Lin Zhibai didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out the sheet music for the other party to read first. My sister is already arranging the copyright registration of the song, so there is no need to worry about leakage.

"OK."

Zhang Xiyang took the score and looked at it.

After watching for about a minute, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Zhibai:

"This is...you wrote it?"

He seemed to feel that he was a little abrupt, and he apologized a little, "I'm sorry, I was just a little surprised that Teacher Baidi could write such a song at such a young age."

After a pause, he spoke again:

"I... can sing."

"You won't know until you sing."

Lin Zhibai smiled slightly, "Lao Wang starts work."

"okay!"

The shed opens and the lights come on.

Zhang Xiyang walked in slowly with the score in hand.

Standing in front of the microphone, Zhang Xiyang didn't start singing immediately, but just looked at the score in his hand in a daze.

listening room.

Old Wang frowned, "Why haven't you started yet?"

Lin Zhibai didn't speak, he felt that Zhang Xiyang was "few", although he didn't know why these two words popped up in his mind.

After a while.

Zhang Xiyang said with a complicated expression: "I've been thinking about it for a long time. To me, this song is a bit... Now it's time to start. I'm ready."

Lin Zhibai made an "ok" gesture through the glass.

Zhang Xiyang took a deep breath.

The next moment, his singing sounded.

A cappella without any accompaniment, a line of lyrics spit out from his mouth.

Although the melody is not familiar enough, a little stumbling, but listening to it makes people feel a little sour.

"Zhang Xiyang is still the same Zhang Xiyang."

Old Wang murmured, "What do you think, Teacher Baidi?"

Lin Zhibai said without hesitation: "Of course it is through the glass."

Old Wang laughed.

Lin Zhibai continued to listen to the song without interrupting the other party.

The other party sang more and more smoothly, and finally sang the whole song in the studio.

After singing the last line, he suddenly said:

"Teacher Baidi."

"You said."

"Is it me?"

Zhang Xiyang looked at Lin Zhibai, something else seemed to be shining in his eyes.

Lin Zhibai smiled: "The more official answer is, you can go back and wait for the notification."

subsequently.

Lin Zhibai said: "The private answer is, it's just you."

"Thanks."

Zhang Xiyang actually bowed deeply.

Lin Zhibai gently turned half of his body sideways. After all, he is not the real creator of this song.

...

Lin Zhibai didn't intend to explore Zhang Xiyang's story. He just needed to confirm that the other party was the voice he was looking for. Of course, the next few people who came to audition also listened to it. This is the result of careful consideration.

Go into your sister's office.

Lin Zhibai told Lin Xi about her decision to choose Zhang Xiyang, but her sister's expression became a little strange:

"Zhang Xiyang?"

"Any questions?"

"Of course there is no problem. He is now a member of our thirteenth department, and he is indeed capable. If he was willing to sing well back then, he might be able to compete for the king of singers."

talking.

Lin Xi laughed: "He seldom came to the company after the divorce, and his career has been ruined a lot. Last year, he had a big fight with the third department. I simply applied to the higher-ups and transferred his contract to the thirteenth department. .”

Lin Zhibai was surprised: "Three parts?"

Lin Xi said lightly: "Zhang Xiyang used to be a member of the third department."

"That's it."

"Aren't you curious about the reason for his divorce?"

"Will it affect the release of this song?"

"Of course not. He just can't live on. It's a normal divorce, but judging by his state after marriage, it's a kind of love."

"That's enough."

Lin Zhibai is not interested in gossip, perhaps it is those stories that can sing the feeling of this song.

Lin Xi waved his little hand and said, "Then we will record tomorrow, and if it goes well, we can post it on the third day, using what you said to run into the arena."

"Um."

Lin Xi said again: "When the song is recorded, I'll listen to it."

Lin Zhibai said: "You don't need to wait until the recording is over. He sang it in one breath just now, and I asked Lao Wang to keep it. Although the first version is not so familiar, I like it."

"Then let me listen!"

Lin Xi suddenly became interested.

Lin Zhibai said: "Old Wang sent it to my phone, so you can just wear headphones and listen to it. Of course, this version is rough."

"Um."

Lin Xi put on the earphones and started listening to the music.

Lin Zhibai looked at his sister's office curiously.

My sister's office is very large and clean. There are a series of professional earphones and audio equipment neatly stacked in the room, and there is a family portrait on the desktop.

Lin Zhibai had an impression of this family portrait.

This family portrait was taken three years ago. At that time, Lin Zhibai was only fourteen years old, standing in front of his parents with his brother and sister in his arms, smiling brightly.

Looking at the brightly smiling self in the photo, Lin Zhibai suddenly felt like a lifetime away.

Perhaps looking at the family portrait is a little engrossed.

Lin Zhibai didn't notice that her sister had finished listening to the song and was looking at his back.

"Little black."

"Um?"

Lin Zhibai turned his head subconsciously, only to find that his sister's eyes were red, and his heart skipped a beat.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"After listening to the song, I suddenly wondered what the past three years have brought you."

Lin Zhibai was startled, and immediately understood what her sister meant.

She attributed her ability to write such a song to those three years of experience, even though the lyrics were written about love on the surface.

Young people don't listen to Li Zongsheng...

There may be some truth to the saying that is widely circulated in the Chinese music circle.

Lin Zhibai suddenly showed a bright smile to his sister, just like when he was taking a family portrait back then.

People are always more willing to believe that:

He must have been through something to become what he was later.

If this "Song for Myself" definitely needs a logical and self-consistent explanation, let's just think that I am no longer a teenager in those three years.
