Perfect Life

Chapter 44: walk my own path

"Who will bloom and who will lose the wild flowers on the mountain, wait quietly to see if someone can pick them, I'm just like that flower waiting for him to come, pat me on the shoulder and I'll listen to your arrangement..."

In the recording studio, Liao Liao closed his eyes and sang into the microphone emotionally.

Yesterday, Li Qian repeatedly emphasized that what she needs is relaxation. Yes, she also felt that she really needed to sing this song in a more relaxed mood and in a more relaxed state.

Wild flowers, born between heaven and earth, are unfettered and wait alone.

From the lyrics to the music, this song is full of a slow swaying feeling. How can it be good when sung with a tense voice?

So, she tried her best to recall how she felt when she heard Li Qian sing this song for the first time and the only time that day. She tried her best to relax her mood and state, and tried to express the song with a more relaxed voice.

But...it's useless.

Halfway through the recording, she suddenly stopped.

Outside the recording room, through the transparent soundproof glass, Zhao Meifeng and the recording engineer raised their heads in shock and looked at her at the same time.

Liao Liao took a deep breath, took off the Echo headset, opened the studio door and walked out.

"Huh...Sister Zhao, I'll take a break for ten minutes, okay?"

Zhao Meifeng's face was full of displeasure, but in the end, she shook her head and sighed, waving her hand to show her ease.

Liao Liao nodded, opened the door of the room and walked out.

Inside the door, Zhao Meifeng couldn't help sighing and said, "Why bother you!"

After closing the door, Liao Liao showed a wry smile on his face.

Why bother?

She raised her hand and rubbed her face vigorously. After a while, she walked towards the bathroom.

A few steps away from the bathroom, there was already a conversation coming.

In such a situation before, Liao Liao would definitely pay attention to making some noises to remind the other party, but this time, before she could step up her steps, the other party's conversation was clearly passed on.

"...Who said it wasn't! It's been the fifth day since she occupied Studio No. 3, and it is said that she hasn't even finished recording a single song! My accompaniment came out, and there was no place to arrange the song... …”

"Who said no! It's not just about occupying the recording studio. Before that, she occupied seventy or eighty songs by herself. If I hadn't been begging Sister Zhao, she wouldn't know when to get those songs. !"

"Hey, it's good now. It is said that she spent 400,000 yuan to buy five songs from a high school brat. It's really ridiculous! When I first bought it, when I saw her walking, I was very high! Now How's it going? It's been five days since I recorded a song, and it's estimated that I won't be able to get on and off the high platform... But what's the use of that, the money has already been spent, she doesn't have to use it anymore!"

"That's right! It's called eating bitter fruit! I'll have to wait and see how many copies of her album can be sold..."

"A few are too few. Based on the reputation of her last single, this album should be a bit fooled. However, when everyone actually buys it back, if they will scold their mother, then I don't know... "

"Ha...Sister Qin, you are so humorous..."

These two voices are very familiar.

The so-called sister Qin, named Huang Yueqin, formerly known as Huang Yueqin, is one of the company's female singers with relatively good grades. It is said that both of her parents were born in the Yue Opera Troupe. Come out and become the company's signed singer.

Her main path is sweet songs. So far, she has released five or six albums. Although the results are not good, they are very stable. Therefore, her status in the company is not low, especially among female singers, she is considered a big sister.

And the other person is Lele.

Speaking of which, it is also helpless. This is the trend in the music circle these years. Sweet songs and folk songs are the most stable way for female singers. It's not that they didn't take other paths, but there is only one Zhou Concubine, and only one Zhen Zhen.

Before Zhen Zhen appeared, female singers gave the impression that they could only sing some soft, non-disturbing, feminine minor tunes, but Zhen Zhen's birth was born, with her more masculine voice than men, Singing folk songs and singing love songs has opened up a road for female singers - of course, it's still the same sentence, Zhen Zhen has only one. Therefore, Zhen Zhen has been popular for nearly ten years. After her first day in the Chinese music scene, there are very few female singers who can really follow her path.

Feng Feifei's folk songs are majestic, and Zhou Wei's urban love songs are lingering, but they can only rank third and fourth in the four queens. Among them, Zhou Wei's status as a queen is still not recognized by many people, not to mention She quit the music world and got married three years ago. It can be said that there are only three queens left in the music world today.

Zhen Zhen is the eldest sister in the music world. She released an album and can easily get triple platinum or even five platinum sales. There is no doubt about this, but the sales volume of the second-ranked sweet song queen, He Runqing, is not slightly worse than her, and even sometimes After all, it was only because Zhen Zhen was too pioneering and her status in the music world was too high, so she was respected as the first, but in front of He Runqing, there was no advantage at all. As for Feng Feifei, her albums have always had a hard time breaking through two million sales.

In addition to Zhen Zhen and Feng Feifei, those who can sell more than one million single albums and get platinum records in this market, without exception, sing sweet songs and folk songs.

Of course, everyone understands that the future of the music world will definitely not always be dominated by sweet songs and folk songs. Therefore, there are still many female singers who are always trying to find their own way.

Liao Liao is doing this, and Lele is doing it too.

It's just that Liao Liao is making an album and doesn't bother to follow any established path, whether it's folk songs, love songs, or light rock and classical styles taken from Li Qian, she has been trying to find her own unique characteristics, and music Le, according to the path that Sister Zhao gave her, her current goal is to be the second Zhou Concubine in the music world.

Not to mention, in terms of sound conditions alone, it's not that she has no chance at all.

"By the way, Lele, it is said that Mianmian gave you that song?"

"Well, I've been begging for a long time. It is said that Liao Liao doesn't agree to let go at all, saying that it will be used for her next album! You said...Sister Qin, you judge, do you think there is such a domineering one?"

"Heh, domineering or not, she hasn't been around for a few months. When this album is finished, if it can't sell... that's a production fee of 800,000 yuan. You said, the company will still talk to her. Sign a deal for an album?"

"That's right! Oh, that's right, Sister Qin, otherwise, let's go to Mr. Zheng together and say we have to wait for the song arrangement, so we can't let her always occupy it alone! She's quite comfortable. , where one person dominates the recording studio to practice songs, and we have to let Sister Zhao accompany us, but we can only stare..."

"Mr. Zheng? I advise you not to go! He has smashed 800,000 yuan, and he can't get off the pirate ship. As long as Liao Liao said to use it, he didn't dare to stop him from using it. Let's wait. Wait! I just don't know when she will finish recording, hehe, I must listen to this 'album'!"

"..."

Liao Liao's thoughts were flying, and he was standing just a few steps away from the bathroom, motionless.

It took a long time for her to regain her senses, and she just heard footsteps from the bathroom. It was estimated that they were about to come out, so she walked over to her face and said, "Okay, it's ready in time. The album, I must give you one of the albums first, and then you can give more opinions!"

The other party's footsteps paused, but at this time, they were about to walk out of the bathroom door.

And Liao Liao had already walked in front of them.

The three meet.

Lele was slightly embarrassed, Huang Yueqin looked cold, and Liao Liao smiled.

Liao Liao's eyes swept past Lele, and with a quiet smile, looked at Huang Yueqin.

Now, of course, they understand that the conversation just now has been overheard by Liao Liao.

Lele may feel embarrassed, and with her shrewdness, she will definitely find an opportunity to quietly explain that she has no other intentions. .

After all, until now, she hasn't even released a single, and she's still too new to be a newcomer.

But given Huang Yueqin's position in the company, she naturally has nothing to be afraid of when she meets Liao Liao. And if you take into account the old and new hatred brought by the company's resource allocation to Liao Liao in the past six months, she can only say a few words behind her back, instead of running over to accuse her face to face, it is estimated that she has endured it. Results.

In response, Liao Liao responded with a smile.

But in Huang Yueqin's eyes, Liao Liao's smile seemed to be naturally provocative.

So, her face became more and more ugly, "Why, I can't record it anymore?"

Liao Liao smiled, "Anyway, there are still songs to record."

Huang Yueqin's face instantly turned cold, and her eyes were easily filled with anger.

Her new album plan began to shout more than a year ago, but until now, it has not been released-the sales of sweet songs are good. In the entire market of female singers, the sales of sweet songs are afraid to account for it. 30% to 40%, but her Huang Yueqin's last album did not sell very well. After more than a year of listing, she finally managed to pass half a million copies and got the certificate of gold album. Therefore, the company Her next album is a little more cautious.

Liao Liao is directly hitting her in the face - her temperament is not one that can be tolerated, not to mention that her mood has not been good recently!

But unexpectedly, Huang Yueqin did not burst out immediately. On the contrary, she actually smiled coldly, "Well said, then I'll wait to see how many platinum you can sell!"

Liao Liao's face froze for a moment, and he smiled, "It's enough to be able to sell gold records."

Huang Yueqin also smiled, with a knife in her smile, "It is said that you signed a split contract? So, it seems that there is no hope for the next album?"

Liao Liao laughed again, "Isn't everyone the same?"

Seeing that the two sides were talking more and more, Lele's eyes looked at this and then at that, and forced a smile, "That, Sister Qin, Sister Liao, we all belong to the same company, that...don't say a few words. , don't say a few words, ha..." While speaking, she took Huang Yueqin's arm, "Sister Qin, I just don't know what to say, and I want to ask you to give me some pointers..."

She pulled hard, Huang Yueqin took a deep breath, and followed her forward. The moment she passed by, she stopped again, turned her head to look at Liao Liao's profile, and said in a low voice, but gnashing her teeth: "I Just wait and see how you get on the street!"

After speaking, the two of them walked away arm in arm.

With his back to them, Liao Liao smiled helplessly.

After a while, she sorted out her mood, walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, took a handful of water and poured it on her face, and then stared at herself in the mirror with water marks all over her face.

"Oh, anyway, you're dead anyway, Liao Liao, you're so nervous!"

After speaking, she took a deep breath, pulled a few pieces of paper and wiped her face, then turned around resolutely and walked out of the bathroom.

…………

"...The wind is not the wind, the cloud is not the cloud, it doesn't matter whether I love you or not, it's just passing by anyway. Flowers are not flowers, mud is not mud, you dance in the desert, and I need a little more. luck……"

It was just after seven o'clock in the evening, and the western restaurant was full of seats, and there were even many people waiting at the counter with number plates in their hands. And the situation in China has always been like this, whether it is waiting for the food, shaking the red wine glass, or waiting in front of the counter, nine out of ten are a couple.

Li Qian wore white sneakers, jeans and a white T-shirt, sat on a high stool, hugged his guitar, his body swayed slightly with the rhythm, and he sang very deeply.

Many people are looking at him.

After a song was sung, applause sounded softly around.

Li Qian smiled and nodded to the audience around him, rested for a while, then plucked the strings and began to sing the next song.

…………

Beside the counter, Chu Bingbing was watching Li Qian's performance, turned his head and saw Fang Shengnan come out, and asked with a smile, "Nan Nan, how is it, my aunt had an interview yesterday, and I promised him to try to sing here for three days. Comment on Dian Dian to see if he is qualified?"

Fang Shengnan didn't even have a smile on her face. She stood there and listened to half of the song. When Li Qian finished singing, she said lightly: "The voice is okay, and the intonation is also very good. The male voice sings Zhou Ai's song, which is a little tasteful. "

Chu Bingbing was surprised when she heard the words, "Yo, it's rare, the evaluation is so high?"

Fang Shengnan turned his head to look at her and nodded, "You sing well, but the breath is still a little off. I shouldn't have practiced since childhood."

Chu Bingbing smiled suddenly, reached out and grabbed Fang Shengnan's face, "I said little princess, you are so cold all day, aren't you tired? It's really white to grow this beautiful face! Come on, give my aunt a smile. One!"

Fang Shengnan awkwardly broke free from her hand, but there was nothing unpleasant on his face, he just mumbled, "Auntie..." She still didn't smile, "So many people are watching!"

Chu Bingbing smiled, retracted her hand, and said, "Well, since your evaluation is so high, my aunt will let him stay."

Fang Shengnan nodded vaguely, "Then I'll go first."

When Chu Bingbing heard this, she grabbed her and bit her ear in a low voice, "Isn't he handsome? Do you know who this guy is?"

Fang Shengnan turned his head and glanced at her in confusion, with the words "What's the matter with me" clearly written in his eyes.

Chu Bingbing rolled his eyes helplessly, but still couldn't help but leaned over and whispered, "I've already asked, from your school! Besides, he seems to be a sophomore in high school!"

This time, Fang Shengnan's face suddenly flashed a hint of surprise, and even subconsciously turned his head to look at Li Qian.

However, just for a moment.

Soon, she returned to her icy look and said, "I'm leaving, auntie." Then she walked to the door without looking back, not even looking at Li Qian again.

Chu Bingbing shook her head helplessly, watched her go out, and then turned to appreciate Li Qian's singing.

…………

The name of this restaurant is "Music Can't Western Restaurant". Li Qian has never eaten it before, so he doesn't know how the steak it sells tastes like, but from the perspective of passenger flow, the business is really good.

It's here, I promise to let him audition for three days.

And when he arrived at 6:30, he found out that there was a girl who was playing the piano before him, and her level was quite good. So he knows that it seems that he is used to fill the vacancy in the second period. After all, playing the piano for a long time will also be very tired.

From seven o'clock to eight o'clock, he sang about thirteen or four songs in an hour. Judging from the live effect, the results were good. There is even a guest in the middle who ordered a song, so although he may not be eligible to sing here for a long time, and even the three-day audition is unpaid, at least he already has his first income. .

When a guest orders a song, it is 20 yuan, and the restaurant does not keep a penny, it is all given to the singer.

It's better than going to the subway station to sing, isn't it?

When the last song that was arranged was finished, Li Qian took out his mobile phone and looked at it. Sure enough, it was already 8:05. So he stood up decisively, bowed slightly in the direction of the guests in the restaurant, then took off his guitar, signaling that he had finished singing.

Scattered, there was a burst of applause in the dining room.

Li Qian walked to the front desk, was about to say hello to the waiter at the front desk and left, but when he turned his head, he saw that the manager of the restaurant was looking at him with a smile, so he had to walk over and nodded at her first, "Hello, Manager Chu. ."

Chu Bingbing smiled and said, "You are fine too!"

Li Qian said, "I don't know what I sang just now. Can Manager Chu be satisfied? If there is something wrong, please bear with me."

Chu Bingbing looked at him with a smile, and said in her heart that she was as mature as ever.

As the manager of a western restaurant that deals with hundreds of thousands of customers every day, her vision and ability in dealing with people are naturally extremely high, and she can see people clearly.

But even she has some incomprehensible feelings towards the big boy in front of her.

When Li Qian came for an interview yesterday, he simply asked a few words about the basic situation, and Chu Bingbing was already a little curious about him. Judging by his age, he is probably seventeen or eighteen years old. Considering that he introduced himself as a sophomore in high school, he should be seventeen, but his demeanor is not at all like what a seventeen-year-old boy should have. .

To be honest, Chu Bingbing might not give him this chance just by singing well. At that time, she mainly felt that this boy was a little different from others, so she gave him such a chance because of a move in her heart.

And now it seems that he is really different from his peers.

He is more than a star and a half more mature and stable than his peers!

But if that's the case, it won't make Chu Bingbing, who is used to seeing all kinds of people, feel incomprehensible. The most important thing is that while he is mature and stable, no matter what he does, even when he is singing, There seemed to be an indescribable indifference on his body and face, and it seemed to Chu Bingbing that there was a little... a feeling of vicissitudes!

According to common sense, this is a bit nonsense!

Maturity returns to maturity, seventeen or eighteen-year-old children may not be able to mature, but if we talk about the vicissitudes of life, how is that possible! How much can he experience at his age? Where did the vicissitudes come from?

But ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The feeling he gave to Chu Bingbing was vicissitudes!

This made her feel incomprehensible!

This made her even more curious than when she saw Li Qian yesterday afternoon!

Moreover, thinking of her niece who was also very different from her peers, she couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the Thirteenth Middle School produces such weirdos?

Thoughts of this kind and that kind of thoughts swirled in her mind between the thoughts, but the smile on Chu Bingbing's face was not the slightest strange, she heard the words and said with a smile: "Of course satisfied, you see, the guests are also very satisfied, aren't they? "

After a pause, she saw that Li Qian's face was neither surprised nor happy, but just smiled and thanked him as always, feeling a little disappointed, but at the same time, more curiosity came up.

So, she said: "Well, Li Qian, after today's audition, I think it's perfectly fine for you to be the resident singer in our restaurant, so from today onwards, even if you officially go to work, one hour a day, thirty block, ok?"

This time, Li Qian finally showed some surprise on his face.

But even so, he just nodded to Chu Bingbing, "Thank you, Manager Chu! Thank you for giving me this opportunity! Next, I will definitely sing every song carefully."

Chu Bingbing looked at him, and countless thoughts flashed in his heart.

Then, she smiled slowly, nodded and said, "Okay!"
