Chapter 64 The National Girl

"Get ready... do it again!"

Guitar sound.

"Let us swing our oars, and the boat pushes away the waves. 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 head-on..."

"Okay, stop for a while. Sister Xie Bing, your voice was too far back just now, you need to move forward a little bit. Sister Ruoxuan, you were a little bit slower just now, and the sound is a bit draggy. Be careful! Everyone, what I want is You guys give me that heavenly voice, so... imagine the smell of the boys' choir... yes, the voice goes a little further. OK, now continue!"

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 listen to us singing quietly. The boat floats gently in the water, and the cool wind blows head-on..."

"Okay, this verse has more feeling than the last one. But, Sister Jingxue...OK, it's good that you understand. Then, everyone, go on, let's go..."

"After finishing the day's homework, let's have fun. Don't forget my dear parents. They have arranged a happy life for me. The boat floats gently in the water, and the cool wind blows head-on."

"OK, this time is great, now, okay, everyone take a few minutes to rest!"

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

So far, he is very satisfied with the performance of Wu Xing Wu Su, and he has to express his admiration for the ability of Huage Records to select newcomers. Singing with that kind of natural childishness, but the ages of the girls are there, and they can't be too deliberate or too pretentious, so Li Qian's request is "ethereal as the wind" and "soothing and melodious". Looking at it now, although they don't quite understand why Li Qian wrote a nursery rhyme for them, at least they executed it very well, and basically understood Li Qian's request.

But... well.

Li Qian picked up the cup and drank a couple of sips of water, then turned his head and saw a few girls whispering together, it seemed that everyone's face was full of doubts, so he couldn't help but go back and sit down, clapping his hands at the same time, "Hey, hello , don’t discuss any more, I’ll give you a chance now, you can ask whatever you want!”

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

After thinking about it, she asked, "Songs like "Let's Swing the Sculls"...is it appropriate for us to sing?"

After a pause, she seemed to be afraid that Li Qian would misunderstand, and 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 come to sing, it will look, look... awkward."

Hearing this, Li Qian glanced at the other girls, and seeing everyone nodding, he couldn't help but smiled and asked: "Then what do you think is more suitable for you to sing?...Hey, stop, this question, um, sister Pingping, come here." answer!"

"Uh..." Zhou Pingping was stunned for a moment, and said, "The first song you gave us is very suitable, my sister and sister stood up, whether it is the lyrics or the song, I think it is super suitable for us, it is simply tailor-made! "

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

Sima Duoduo nodded, "Yes, we like that kind of song, and hope to have more songs of that style. It's youthful, it's... happy, lively, and dynamic!"

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

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

Li Qian called the roll 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 that she was extremely ashamed.

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

Sun Ruoxuan paused, and said timidly, "Because... the song is not good? I don't know, I guessed it randomly!"

Li Qian nodded, "The song is not good, and there are no breakthrough and representative works, which must be one of the reasons, but I still 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?"

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

Everyone looked at each other again, and then Zhou Pingping said, "Little boy?"

Sima Duoduo said: "I think it should be a man in his thirties."

Xie Bing said: "That's the sexy line, right? I think the audience for the song "Sister and Sister Stand Up" must not be so narrow. At least I think that girls of similar age will like it. "

Everyone nodded.

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

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

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

Li Qian raised his hands helplessly, "Stop, stop... I can tell you that the most exciting thing in this world is not sexiness, but youth! I will like youth, and I will like five young people like you Beautiful girls, from little boys, to big boys, to old boys, to uncles, uncles... all! From little friends and girls, to young girls, to adult girls, to middle-aged women, to older people Big Mom...all of them!"

After a pause, Li Qian said affirmatively, "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 own direction from the beginning? Just to limit certain songs that you can sing, certain songs You can't sing? Don't you know that you kill men and women, young and old? If you know, why don't you give them a way to like you?"

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

Can the five elements and my elements kill both men and women? Killing all ages?

This concept, not to mention them, even the executives of Huage Records who decided to form such a group never thought about it - because so far, there have been no successful groups in China.

Including their five elements and my own principles, including "Sister Tao", in front of the market, they can all be classified as failures.

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

After looking at each other for a while, Xie Bing looked at Li Qian timidly, and asked: "You mean, this song "Let's Swing the Oars" is for young people from five or six to fifteen or sixteen years old. The kids open a... portal that likes us?"

"Again!"

Li Qian smiled, his expression becoming more and more relaxed. He could see the look in the eyes of several girls gradually brightening.

Maybe they couldn't fully understand what Li Qian said just now, or even if they understood, they wouldn't dare to believe it at all, but...who doesn't want to be loved by countless people? Who doesn't want to be the hottest?

So, meeting their inquiring eyes, Li Qian said: "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up will make you love the vast majority of girls and women from teens to thirties. There will be many boys of the same age who like it, so this song "Let's Swing the Sculls" is sung for fans of younger ages. Next, if I can finally reach a cooperation agreement with your company, then you will Get more songs to impress more fans of more age groups. Even in my opinion, you still need some classic works, so that even if you are remembered by people after a few years, you can be the first Thinking of it, and this, will be my next task! In the end, our goal is to make you guys who are liked by all fans and all age groups in China—the girls of all people!"

... ... ...

It has to be said that what Li Qian said, regardless of whether it can be realized in the end, is at least extremely provocative. After finishing what he said, although there were ten minutes, the sisters in the Wuxingwusu group, everyone looked thoughtful, but when it came to practicing songs, they became even stronger than before. Work harder and focus more.

In terms of singing requirements, whether it is the fast song "Sister Sister Stand Up" or the nursery rhyme "Let's Swing the Oars", there are actually no difficult singing skills at all. According to Wu Xingwusu, who has been trained and has released an official studio album, it is not too difficult to master these two songs.

So, after they came to Jinan and got the first song "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up", it only took a few days for Li Qian to think that it was time to start recording demos.

The so-called demo is a very broad concept. It can even be as simple as having no accompaniment or harmony, and even lyrics. It is just a singer humming the tune and rhythm.

But the demos that Li Qian wants to do are obviously not that simple, because he is going to use the demos of these two songs to impress the senior management of Huage Records, so as to win a big contract for himself. Therefore, the demos of these two songs, It must be manly, must be infinitely close to the finished product, and must be as exciting as possible.

Therefore, he chose the method of live practice and recording.

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

The sound engineer is arranged by Li Baolong. It is said that two on-site sound engineers will be specially transferred from the headquarters of Huage Records in Beijing. According to the arrangement given by Li Qian, all the instruments and musicians needed will be provided by the local Laodou Records is in charge of contacting them, and guarantees that they are all 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 Academy of Arts. As for the recording studio, Li Baolong finally decided to use the largest recording studio of Lao Dou Records.

... ... ...

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

In recent days, the arrival of several girls from Wuxingwusu, and guiding them to practice songs at night, actually did not disturb Li Qian's normal life. Boxing, taking classes, writing songs, and even finding time to rewrite guitar chords for a song on a newly bought album by a Soviet singer.

Of course, he can't go to the restaurant of Cao Zhan's house for the time being, and not only now, if the demos of the two songs are finished recording this time, if they can get the approval of Huage Records executives and sign a formal contract, then next, He is about to produce this album for Wu Xing Wu Su, and by that time, it will definitely be impossible to sell and sing again.

After careful calculation, he found that his singing career had only lasted for forty days, and he couldn't help feeling a little frustrated. Originally, he planned to insist on selling and singing underground for more than a year. However, Liao Liao suddenly bought those songs, and then quickly became popular, interrupting this plan at once.

But... not bad.

Although there is some acceleration, it is still walking steadily.

He ran all the way to the place where he was exercising, while thinking about random things, including some images that suddenly appeared in the dream last night, in a daze, he found someone calling his name.

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

It was Xie Bing and Sima Duoduo.

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

They should also come out for morning exercise, and they should have been exercising for a long time. Now their faces are a little flushed, with a healthy rosy luster, they ran to Li Qian and stopped, still panting gruffly.

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

"Are you out for morning exercises too?"

"Yes!" This time it was Sima Duoduo who rushed to answer: "We asked Xiaoxue two days ago, and she told us that there was a section of ancient city wall near the hotel, and that many people were exercising there. , we ran over according to the map."

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

We have known each other for a few days, and Sima Duoduo has always given Li Qian the impression of being a very proud girl, maybe because of the pleasant relationship she had with Li Qian in the past few days, she seems to have become intimate with Li Qian now. few.

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

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

During the running, the three of them were afraid of getting out of breath, so they didn't dare to speak. When they got to the place, they rested for half a minute, and then they all recovered quickly. The two girls saw the ancient city wall, and the ancient city wall. With so many people exercising near the city wall, they couldn't help but start asking questions.

In the final analysis, despite the fact that they usually practice singing in a disciplined manner, they are actually just girls in their early twenties, not even a few years older than the current Li Qian.

When they are strangers, of course they are very polite and polite to each other, but once they get to know each other well, there is naturally no barrier between young boys and girls.

Especially now, when everyone came running together, it seemed to add a little bit of intimacy.

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 in China. After the company knew that we could get your songs, they almost gave the green light all the way. Look at us That producer,...yes, is Mr. Li, you don’t even know how big he is when he is in the company and in front of us, but you see, after he came to Jinan Mansion, in front of you, he is simply You can talk as much as you want..."

"Yes, that's right. Liao Liao's album had just started to become popular at that time, and we all started listening to the CD every day. The five of us really liked your song. Many people in the company also liked it. It is said that the boss of our company even called Changsheng Records himself... Oh, it is the company where Liao Liao works, our boss called directly to poach you! Otherwise, do you think Li Jinlong would give you face like that?"

"Hey, when 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, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it... a meal of skewers , It's done! This is called - hush money!"

"Do you dare to eat it for you? A skewer is three catties fat..."

"Hey, Li Qian, it is said that Liao Liao met you on the street, is it true?"

"That's right, that's right, and it's said that Liao Liao spent a total of 400,000 yuan to buy your five songs. Is it true?...Ah, it's true, then why don't you want to go to Shuntian Mansion to develop?"

"Yes, yes, you are so popular, of course you should go to Shuntianfu, that is the place to make music! You see, there are so many record companies, so many artists, and the best in the country Equipment... By the way, according to our producer, Teacher 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 what kind of bicycle you are riding, next time I must go downstairs with you to see for myself..."

"Punching? Hey, you know martial arts? Hurry up and fight, we want to see!"

"Wow, he really can 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 had only just risen and would not yet rise, but the sky was already transparent and bright.

In this bright morning light, a big boy who looked about seventeen or eighteen slowly raised his posture and punched, a heroic young man rushed into the sky, and two extremely beautiful girls with bright eyes and kind eyes surrounded him They were chirping, like noisy magpies, but they would follow the boy's gestures from time to time, the movements were blunt and clumsy, which made people laugh.

Whether viewed from a distance or up close, this is the best morning painting.

The monthly pass is gone, which is understandable, but can you give me a few more recommended tickets?
