Liu Hai had been practicing the songs in the album in his dormitory for the past two days. It was not until the morning of August 15th that he received a call from Feng Delun that he hurriedly walked out of the TV station. A Santana came to pick up Liu Hai. When Liu Hai got into the car, Feng Delun, who was sitting in the driver's seat, said,""Aiyo! "D * mn, brother, you're free these few days. I'm so busy with you that I can't even care about the bar. I'll just take care of you. Now that the accompaniment to your album is ready, I'm just waiting for you to set off," Feng Delun complained to Liu Hai, but the excitement in Feng Delun's eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Brother De, you've wronged me. I've been practicing my singing these past few days. When I'm free, I still have to go to Sister Fei's place to consult a music expert! I know that Brother De has been working hard these past few days, but I still remember this favor. When the album sold well hotcakes, I'll treat you to a meal. Brother De!"
"That's more like it. Kid, remember this. You owe me a meal, not a meal. I remember that you didn't treat me last time.”Feng Delun said with a smile. However, he seemed to have thought of something and said to Liu Hai seriously,"There's one more thing. I couldn't explain it over the phone. Have you registered these dozen songs?”
"Brother De, this…I almost forgot about this. I just went to the copyright office to register it a few days ago, but the preliminary review has passed, and the proof hasn't been sent over yet. They said that they would give it to me in a few days."
"Alright, we can't be careless about this. There are many dirty things in the entertainment industry. For a song, you can turn a famous person into a white person as long as you have connections. You don't believe me? Every time there's a sold well album, people will say that you plagiarized someone's song or that you plagiarized someone's song. It's so annoying."
" Brother De, today..." Liu Fengdelun's driving skills were quite good. Liu Hai didn't know where Feng Delun wanted him to go today, so he asked.
" What can we do? Let's go to my friend's recording studio. You know this person too. He's the one who wrote you the recommendation letter."
" Jiang Tao..." Liu Hai asked Feng Delun in confusion.
" Yes, it's him. Don't look at how little he's known now. I know that he's a capable singer. He can become famous by writing songs for others, but he can't become famous even if he sings by himself. Now that he's not young anymore, he started to run a recording studio and has almost retired from the singing world. Now, he usually writes and records songs for his peers," Feng Delun said with a long sigh. He drove slowly. He was no longer as brave as he was at the beginning, but he also thought about the difficulties in his career.
Along the way, Feng Delun and Liu Hai talked about the album and Chen Silin's progress in managing the company. Liu Hai didn't have much hope for a company that had just started. It was a start-up company with no history, no competent music producers, and no professional marketing channels. If there were no classic songs, it would be impossible for the album to not fail. However, Liu Hai believed that his first album would lay a certain foundation for the company's popularity.
When Liu Hai heard that Jiang Tao was recording his album, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He said that popular singers weren't popular, and that popular singers weren't popular. These were all excuses for himself. Without strong abilities, he would either die or be half-dead in the entertainment industry. At this moment, Jiang Tao's situation was definitely half-dead. Celebrity songs were also promoted by people or promoted. Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that he had a classic album, but Liu Hai was such an exception.
Feng Delun parked the car in front of a courtyard house. Judging from the architectural style, it must have been from the Qing Dynasty. The architectural style was antique, but it was a little dilapidated. It was a folk courtyard house. There were no luxurious carvings or tall main houses. Although it looked ancient and had a sense of vicissitudes of history, it had lost the elegance of the courtyard house and did not have a certain collection value. However, to be able to own such a place in the capital was also very powerful.
The door to the courtyard wasn't locked. Feng Delun pushed the door open and went in. As he walked, he shouted," Taozi, I'm here."
"What are you calling me? I can hear your voice from afar.”At this moment, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows walked out from the main door. He was quite handsome and stood at the door as he spoke to Feng Delun.
"Didn't I tell you yesterday? "I'm coming over today. Don't tell me that you didn't prepare anything for this bro. Otherwise, I'll set your broken house on fire," Feng Delun also said loudly to Jiang Tao.
At this moment, a bespectacled man walked out from the west room of the courtyard house. As he walked, he held his glasses and said,"Brother De, we've been waiting for you for a long time. The machine has been adjusted."
" Haizi, come here. That guy is Jiang Tao," Feng Delun said to Liu Hai, pointing at Jiang Tao.
"The one with glasses, you can call him Uncle Huang."
Liu Hai hurriedly walked past Jiang Tao and bowed to him, saying,"Hello, Teacher Jiang. Thank you very much for your help."
" Look, Dezi, look at how good Liu Hai is. I don't know what kind of fortune you have, but you're the one who got involved in this. Come, Hai Zi, let's go inside first." Jiang Tao walked to Liu Hai's side and pulled his arm as he said to Feng Delun.
They all laughed and sat down in the living room of the main house. Except for a sound engineer named Huang Xiaofei, Feng Delun also introduced Liu Hai to Han Feiyun, who was the main person in charge of Liu Hai's album and a music producer of Huahai Entertainment Company. Many musicians usually made cameos and went wherever there was work. It could be said that their profession was very free.
" Liu Hai, we've watched a few of your songs. They're not bad. It's a rare piece of good work," Jiang Tao said to Liu Hai.
"Uncle Jiang, you flatter me."
" Haizi, what do you mean? Call him Uncle Jiang and call me Brother De. What do you mean?" Feng Delun said to Liu Hai with an opinion.
"You still have objections? Come to Haizi and drink some water. After you drink, we'll start work."
"It's fine, Jiang…Jiang…"
"Let's call him Brother Jiang! Some people have big opinions?" Jiang Tao said to Liu Hai, but his eyes were still on Feng Delun.
"Brother Jiang, I'm fine. I'm not thirsty. I'm ready now."
Han Feiyun stood up and said," "Let's go!" There was no emotion in his eyes. He was a very serious person.
Liu Hai did not expect that this simple courtyard house would hide a very high-end recording studio in this era. There was a huge soundproof glass wall in the room. Outside the glass wall were many recording, tuning machines, and CD burning machines. Inside the glass wall were two hanging microphones and music stands, as well as a few earphones hanging on the music stand. Australia's imported Meiqi recording equipment, as well as the Tasasm four-track machine and the German Condenser Microphone. This was a luxurious lineup. Liu Hai saw the equipment and believed that the staff here would not be too bad.
"Haizi, how is it? Brother De didn't introduce you badly, right? "You won't be able to find the equipment here in this city," Feng Delun said to Liu Hai.
" It's pretty good. Thank you, Brother De. Thank you, Brother Jiang," Liu Hai said with a smile.
Han Feiyun sat on a special chair, his earphones plugged in, and said to Liu Hai,""Go in! "The machine has been adjusted. Now, we'll record the first song. You can go in and audition first." After saying that, he instructed Liu Hai.
Liu Hai stood in front of the microphone, adjusted the height, and put the score on the music stand. He tested his voice casually and gave Han Feiyun an OK sign outside the soundproof wall. Then, Liu Hai heard a familiar voice. It was the prelude to Match Heaven.
Although Han Feiyun knew that these songs were written by the young man himself, he couldn't help but tense up when he heard the music through his headphones. The accompaniment was indeed of good quality, but he stopped at Liu Hai's first sound. He said into the microphone," You couldn't enunciate the first word clearly. You haven't invested in your feelings yet. Let's sing again."
Liu Hai looked at the serious old man outside and raised his headphones. He thought about the song and nodded. After singing a few lines, he continued,"Stop. Don't pay attention to us when you sing. Your breath isn't good enough when you sing the word 'mommy'. You need a breath that comes from your Dantian. The muscles and bones on both sides of your shoulders need to tighten. Start again."
Han Feiyun kept interrupting and replaying the song until he reached the requirement an hour later.
"Liu Hai, you have to remember that the emotions and sound lines of this song are delicate. The transition between the high and low notes must be smooth. There can't be a pause in the breath. Alright, the recording officially begins now."
However, just as the bangs were about to end, she was called to stop again.
" Come out and listen. You'll know." In Han Feiyun's eyes, Liu Hai's singing skills and emotional mobilization had reached the limit of his ability. Each of Liu Hai's songs could be listed in the top twenty of the national radio song list, but Han Feiyun still didn't look satisfied at all. One hour had passed since the official recording, but he hadn't finished a single song by noon. He was such a person. A good song had to be perfect.
However, Liu Hai didn't look impatient at all. He realized that his music was full of flaws. If he didn't listen to the songs in the recording studio, he wouldn't know his shortcomings. Han Feiyun was indeed a serious musician. If he was good, he was good. If he was bad, he was bad. As long as there was a mistake in the recording, he would be defeated.
However, Liu Hai, an unofficial musician, was now like a dry sponge, hungrily absorbing all kinds of singing techniques. Sometimes, he felt embarrassed, but after listening to Han Feiyun's advice, he found that he was really a primary school student. Some singing methods were discovered by Liu Hai himself, and they couldn't stand the test of recording equipment. In the recording studio, Liu Hai seemed to have been stripped naked. It wasn't until 3 p.m. that Liu Hai finished recording a song.
" Mr. Han, can you record a tape that has some flaws in the recording? I want to listen to it more often," Liu Hai said to Han Feiyun, who was sitting in the recording room, after listening to the newly recorded Match Heaven.
Hearing Liu Hai's request, Han Feiyun frowned and didn't say anything. He lit a cigarette and blew it out, saying to Huang Xiaofei, the sound engineer in front of him,""Xiao Huang, just record a copy for him."
