Perfect Life

"Prepare... do it again!"

Guitar sound.

"Let's swing our oars, the boat pushes away the waves, and the lake reflects the beautiful white pagoda, surrounded by green trees and red walls. The boat floats gently in the water, and the cool wind blows in the face. . . "

"Okay, stop for a while. Sister Xie Bing, your voice was too late, you have to move forward a little bit. Sister Ruoxuan, you were half a beat slower just now. It's a little delayed, so be careful! ... Everyone, I want you all. Sing me that heavenly sound, so...imagine that taste of a boy's choir...yeah, go a little further. ok, now on!"

The guitar sounded again.

"Let the smiling face face the sun, the sun shines on the lake, the fish in the water look at us, and quietly listen to us singing happily. The boat floats gently in the water, and the cool wind blows in the face. . . "

"Okay, this verse is better than the previous one. But, Sister Jingxue... ok, you just understand. Then, everyone, go on, go..."

"After a day's homework, let's have fun. Don't forget my dear parents. They arranged a happy life for me. The boat floated gently in the water, and there was a cool wind blowing in the face."

"Ok, this time is great, I'm here now, okay, everyone rest for a few minutes!"

With that said, Li Qian stood up and put down the guitar.

So far, he is very satisfied with the performance of Wuxing Wusu, and he has to praise Huage Records' ability to select newcomers again. "Let's Swing the Sculls" is a nursery rhyme and a nursery rhyme, so Li Qian asked them to Sing that kind of childish feeling like the sound of nature. But the ages of several girls were there. It can't be too deliberate or too pretentious. Therefore, Li Qian's requirements are "empty as the wind" and "soothing and melodious". At present, although they don't quite understand why Li Qian wrote a nursery rhyme for them, at least they implemented it well and basically understood Li Qian's requirements.

But... well.

Li Qian picked up the cup and took two sips of water. He turned his head and saw a few girls over there gathered and whispered together. It seemed that everyone's face was full of doubts, so he couldn't help but go back and sit down. At the same time, I clapped my hands, "Hey, hey, don't talk about it anymore, I'll give you a chance now, just ask what you want to ask!"

The girls looked at each other and finally pushed Wang Jingxue out.

After thinking for a while, she asked: "Songs like "Let's Sculls"... let's sing, is it appropriate?"

After a pause, he seemed to be afraid of Li Qian's misunderstanding. She quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, we don't think this song is bad. In fact, we think this song is great, it's a great nursery rhyme, but we always feel that if we sing it, It would look, look... awkward."

Hearing this, Li Qian glanced at the other girls, and when he saw everyone nodded, he couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Then what do you guys think is more suitable for you to sing? ... Hey, stop, this question, um, Sister Pingping, please answer it. !"

"Uh..." Zhou Pingping was stunned for a moment, and said, "The first song you gave us is very suitable. Sister and sister stand up. Whether it's the lyrics or the song, I think it's super suitable for us. It's just tailor-made!"

Li Qian smiled, "So, do you still want a few more songs like that? ... Hey, don't worry, this time, Sister Duoduo?"

Sima Duoduo nodded, "Yes, we like songs like that, and we hope there will be more songs of that style. It's youthful, just...happy, lively, and dynamic!"

Li Qian nodded and asked again without changing his smile: "So, who can tell me why your previous **** route didn't work?"

With a swipe, the five girls who were eager to speak suddenly became more and more eager to speak.

Li Qian called by name as usual, "Sister Xie Bing, can you tell me?"

Xie Bing's face turned red, he hesitated for a long time, lowered his head, and said embarrassedly, "I-I don't know."

At this moment, she felt ashamed of herself.

However, Li Qian did not continue to ask anything, but turned to look at Sun Ruoxuan, "Sister Ruoxuan? Can you tell me?"

Sun Ruoxuan was stuck for a while, and said timidly, "Because... the song is not good? I don't know either, I just guessed!"

Li Qian nodded, "The song is not good, there are no breakthrough and representative works, it must be one of the reasons, but I also want to ask you another question, who can tell me, your group What is your greatest strength?"

Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, Xie Bing looked at Li Qian timidly, and said in an extremely uncertain tone: "Youth?"

"Middle!...Youth! Then, next question, who can tell me, who would like five young, beautiful, lively, cute, and **** girls?"

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and then Zhou Pingping said, "Little boy?"

Sima Duoduo said, "I think it should be a man between the ages of sixteen or seventeen to his thirties."

Xie Bing said: "Is that still the **** route? I think the audience for the song "Sister and Sister Stand Up" is definitely not so narrow. At least I think girls of the same age will like it. "

Everyone nodded.

So Wang Jingxue said: "I think if we go the right way, the audience of our group should still be quite broad."

At this time, Li Qian laughed when he heard the words, and suddenly asked: "Then do you think, am I a big boy or a little boy?"

The five people burst out laughing when they heard the words, and then said loudly, "Little boy... big boy... little boy... Obviously a big boy, he is seventeen years old..."

Li Qian raised his hand helplessly, "Stop, stop... I can tell you that the most exciting thing in this world is not sexy, but youth! I will like youth, I will like five young and beautiful like you. From little boys, to big boys, to old boys, to uncles, uncles...all! From little girls, to young girls, to adult girls, to middle-aged women. To older aunts... all!"

Paused. Li Qian affirmed: "Youth is invincible!"

Then. He spread his hands and said in a puzzled tone: "So, who can tell me why you have to limit your direction from the beginning? Just limit certain songs that you can sing, and certain songs that you can sing. Can't sing? Don't you know that you can kill men and women, young and old? If you know, why don't you give them an entrance that likes you?"

Everyone was frightened by his argument, and no one spoke.

Wuxing Wusu can kill both men and women? Old and young kill?

This concept, let alone them. I'm afraid that even the executives of Huage Records who decided to set up such a combination never thought about it - because so far, no combination has been successful in China at all.

Including their five elements, including "sister Tao", can be classified as a failure in front of the market.

But now, Li Qian suddenly told them, and told them in an extremely affirmative tone: You, you don't have to limit the direction at all, you can win everyone's love!

After another look at each other. Xie Bing looked at Li Qian timidly, and asked, "What do you mean? This song "Let's Swing the Sculls" is to open up a place for young children from five to fifteen to sixteen years old to like us. …Entrance?"

"Again!"

Li Qian smiled and his expression became more and more relaxed. He could see the look that gradually brightened in the eyes of several girls.

Maybe they couldn't fully understand the meaning of what Li Qian said just now, or maybe they didn't dare to believe it even if they understood it, but... Who doesn't want to be loved by countless people? Who doesn't want to be the most popular?

So, facing their inquiring eyes, Li Qian said: "'Sister and Sister Stand Up' can make you get the love of the vast majority of girls and women from teens to 30s, I promise, and also There will be many boys of the same age who like it, so this song "Let's Swing Sculls" is to be sung to fans of younger ages. Next, if I can finally reach a cooperation intention with your company, then you will Get more songs to impress more fans of more ages. Even in my opinion, you still need some classic works, so that even if you are remembered by people a few years later, you can immediately Thinking of it, and this, will also be my next task! In the end, our goal is to make you a girl loved by all fans and all ages in the country - the national girl!"

...

I have to say that Li Qian's words, regardless of whether they can be finally realized or not, are at least very provocative. After he finished his words, although there were more than ten minutes, there were several sisters in the Wuxingwusu group, everyone looked thoughtful, but when it came to practicing songs, they became even more serious than before. Work harder and focus more.

In terms of singing requirements, whether it's the fast song "Sister and Sister Stand Up" or the nursery rhyme "Let's Swing the Sculls", there are actually no difficult singing skills at all. For those who have received systematic vocal music For Wuxing Wusu, who has trained and has released official studio albums, it is not too difficult to master these two songs.

Therefore, it only took a few days since they came to Jinan to get the first song "Sister and Sister Stand Up", and Li Qian thought it was time to start recording demos.

The so-called demo is a very broad concept. It can even be as simple as having neither accompaniment nor harmony, or even lyrics, just a singer humming the tune and rhythm there.

But what Li Qian wants to do is obviously not that simple, because he is going to use the demos of these two songs to impress the executives of Huage Records, so as to win a big contract for himself. Therefore, the demos of these two songs, It has to be complete, it has to be infinitely close to the finished work, it has to be as exciting as possible.

So, he chose the way of live practice and recording.

The time is set on September 5, Sunday, afternoon.

The recording engineer is arranged by Li Baolong. It is said that two live recording engineers will be specially arranged from the headquarters of Huage Records in the capital. According to the arrangement given by Li Qian, all the required instruments and musicians will be local. The Laodou Records are responsible for contacting and guaranteeing that they are the top local musicians in Jinan Prefecture. It is even said that one of them is a professor of the Music Department of Shandong National Art Institute. As for the recording studio, Li Baolong finally decided to use the largest recording studio at Laodou Records.

...

On the morning of September 5th, Li Qian still woke up early in the morning, then went downstairs and jogged to the old city wall.

The arrival of several girls from Wuxingwusu in recent days. And guide them to practice songs at night. In fact, it did not disturb Li Qian's normal life. He still wakes up at the same time, still sleeps at the same time, punches every day, attends classes, writes songs, and even finds time to rewrite the guitar for a song on a new album by a new Soviet singer. chords.

Of course, he really can't go to the restaurant at Cao Zhan's house for the time being, and not only now, if the demos of the two songs have been recorded this time. If he can get the approval of the top management of Huage Records and sign a formal contract, then he will be producing this album for Wuxing Wusu. At that time, it will definitely be impossible to sell and sing.

After careful calculation, he found that his singing career only lasted for about forty days, and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Originally, he had planned to insist on selling underground for more than a year. However, Liao Liao suddenly bought those few songs, and then quickly became popular again, interrupting the plan all of a sudden.

But... ok.

Although a little faster. But it went fairly well.

He ran all the way to the exercise place, while thinking about some mess. Including some of the images that suddenly appeared in the spring dream last night, in a trance, I found that someone was calling my name.

Turning back in astonishment, he saw two girls in sportswear running quickly.

It's Xie Bing and Sima Duoduo.

Xie Bing looked surprised, "It's really you! We thought we were wrong!"

They should have also come out for the morning exercise, and they should have been active for a long time. At this moment, their cheeks were a little flushed, showing a healthy rosy luster. They ran to Li Qian and stopped, still breathing heavily. Rough.

I have to say that in the early morning, seeing such two energetic and beautiful girls really opened my heart. Just thinking of the dream last night, Li Qian felt a little embarrassed.

"Are you out for morning exercise too?"

"Yes!" This time, Sima Duoduo hurriedly replied: "We asked Xiaoxue two days ago, and she told us that there is a section of the ancient city wall near the hotel, and she said that many people exercise there. , we ran according to the map."

While speaking, she also picked up the map of Jinan Prefecture in her hand and shook it.

I've known each other for several days, and Sima Duoduo's impression of Li Qian has always been that of a rather arrogant girl. It may be that she had a pleasant relationship with Li Qian in the past few days. Now she is facing Li Qian, she seems to have become affectionate. few.

Li Qian laughed and said, "I don't need a map anymore, I'm going there too, just to take you there together."

So the three of them jogged and walked forward together, and soon they saw the ancient city wall from a distance.

During the run, the three of them were afraid that they would lose their breath, so they didn't dare to speak. With so many people exercising near the city wall, they couldn't help but start asking questions.

In the final analysis, don't look at their usual prudence in singing, but in fact they are just little girls in their early twenties, not even a few years older than the current Li Qian.

When everyone is very unfamiliar, of course, they all seem to be very polite and polite to each other, but once they become acquainted, there is naturally no gap between young boys and girls.

Especially now, everyone runs over together, which seems to add a little sense of closeness.

then-

"You don't even know how popular the songs you wrote for Liao Liao are. It's not too much to say that they are popular all over China. After the company knew that we could get your songs, it was almost a green light. Look at us. That producer... Yes, it's Mr. Li. You don't know how big he was when he was in the company and in front of us, but you see, after coming to Jinan Mansion, in front of you, he just wanted to Talk as much as you can talk..."

"Yes, yes, at that time Liao Liao's album just started to become popular, and we all started listening to it every day with the CD in our hands. The five of us liked your songs very much. Many people in the company also liked it very much. Listen to it. Said that the boss of our company also called Changsheng Records himself... Oh, it's the company that Liao Liao is in, our boss directly called and poached you! Otherwise, do you think Li Jinlong will give you such a face?"

"Hey, as soon as Bingbing said this, I remembered it. It seems that someone said that as long as you can write songs for us, she will be willing... Hahaha, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it... a skewer, say Alright! It's called—the seal fee!"

"Do you dare to eat it? A skewer is three pounds fatter..."

"Hey, Li Qian, everyone says that Liao Liao met you on the street, is that true?"

"By the way, also, it is said that Liao Liao spent a total of 400,000 yuan to buy your five songs. Is that true?...Ah, really, then why don't you want to develop in Shuntianfu?"

"Yes, yes, you are so popular, of course you should go to Shuntianfu, that's where music is made! Look, there are so many record companies, so many artists, and some of the best in the country. Equipment... By the way, according to our producer Mr. Li, as long as you are willing to go to our company, our boss will directly give you a sky-high price!"

"Hey, Li Qian, do you actually know? I'm curious about what kind of bike you're riding. Next time, I must go downstairs with you to see for yourself..."

"Fighting? Hey, you know martial arts? Then fight fast, let's watch it!"

"Wow, he really knows how to punch!"

...

Under the city wall, many morning exercisers kept looking up at the city wall.

It was only seven o'clock in the morning, and the fiery red sun was only beginning to rise, and it was about to rise, but the sky was already transparent and bright.

In this bright morning light, a 17- or 18-year-old boy calmly pulled up his stance and punched, a heroic young man rushed to the weather, and two girls with bright eyes and beautiful eyes surrounded him. The chattering, noisy magpies are like springtime magpies, but they still follow the boy's movements from time to time.

Whether it is viewed from a distance or from a close distance, this is the best morning light painting. (To be continued..)

ps: There are no monthly passes, which is understandable, but how many more recommended tickets can be given?
