Chapter 1090

"Well, I see." Xu Wenxiang stared at Xiao Yao for a while and nodded, "it's very common for a singer to be appointed by a creator in the industry. Since you are the creator of ah Yun, I have nothing to say. I promise you

"Just now you said that you intend to record this song by yourself," Xu Wenxiang continued. "The target market of this song is in Hong Kong Island. When the song is released, ah Yun will do some publicity activities in Hong Kong Island. Our company has a very professional studio, I wonder if you are interested in recording this song in our studio? In this way, ah Yun can not fly to Shencheng and come back for publicity. Secondly, as a musician, I also want to see what you look like when you record music works. Maybe you can communicate with each other. "

"I wanted to record this song in Hong Kong Island, and I'd like to see your company's recording studio by the way," Xiao Yao glanced at Yang Shiyun's agent nearby. "Didn't sister Yan tell you?"

"Yes? That's just right! " Xu Wenxiang said with a smile.

"Mr. Shaw, I have another request." Chen Manli interjected.

"Go ahead, please!" Xiao Yao waved his hand.

"Just now president Xu said that the target market of this song is Hong Kong Island," said Chen Manli. "But we all know that the mainland market is much bigger than Hong Kong Island. I know you are brilliant. I don't know if you can fill in another version of the lyrics in Mandarin and make another version of the work in Mandarin. "

"Good idea!" Before Xiao Yao could answer, Xu Wenxiang took over the conversation with a smile, "I remember your red rose and white rose are like this. The tune is exactly the same, one Mandarin, one Cantonese. Shouldn't that be hard for you? We can count on two songs. "

"To tell you the truth," Xiao Yao said with a bitter smile, "when I wrote this song last night, I also wrote a version of the lyrics in Mandarin, but it was torn by me later!"

"Why?" Xu Wenxiang said strangely.

"I'm not satisfied," Xiao Yao said with a smile, shaking his head. "The Chinese version of the lyrics I wrote is OK, but compared with the Cantonese version, I have no interest in recording it. In those years, I was very satisfied with the lyrics of the two editions of white rose and red rose, so I came out together. This time, I felt that there was a big difference between the two editions, so I didn't think of it. "

"Can you show me?" Xu Wenxiang asked, "I know you said that you have torn it, but I heard that you have a good memory. Even if you have torn it, you should be able to write it silently again?"

"I can't do it, I don't want to write!" Xiao Yao waved his hand. "I know the Mandarin market is bigger than the Cantonese market, and I won't stop you from sending the Mandarin version. The original Cantonese version of this song, the original singing can only be poetic, so the copyright of cover will not be authorized until at least half a year later. But you can find someone to fill in the lyrics of the Mandarin version again. I can give you the cover right of the Mandarin version now. As for the singers, it doesn't matter whether they are poetic or not. "

"Are you confident that no one can write better lyrics in Mandarin?" Xu Wenxiang said with a smile, "you are really confident in yourself!"

Xiao Yao smiles and doesn't answer.

"That's settled. I'll send someone to prepare the contract." Seeing that Xiao Yao didn't answer, Xu Wenxiang didn't continue the topic and wanted to settle down.

"Don't worry!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "as long as the general direction is agreed, I don't care about the details of the contract, so I generally don't talk about the contract in person. Now that we have reached an agreement verbally, I believe we can reach an agreement. I'll inform my studio to send someone to come later. It should arrive tomorrow. Now, I think I can go to your recording studio and start working? "

"Start now?" Xu Wenxiang was surprised.

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, "I'm going back to Shencheng in a few days. I guess I can only stay on Hong Kong Island for four days at most, so I want to record this song as soon as possible."

"Four days? If it's just recording, there should be no problem, but now you only have music score, no arrangement, no music. Is four days enough? " Xu Wenxiang said.

"If it goes well, I don't think it will take four days." Xiao Yao said, "this time I came to Hong Kong Island, I just went out to play for a day yesterday. There are still some places I didn't go!"

"Hiss ~" in addition to Yang Shiyun, other people all took a breath and looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.

"Well," Xu Wenxiang looked at the watch on his wrist. "It's late now. I'll take you to lunch first. By the way, I'll ask the recording studio to make some preparations to help you contact the musicians and recording engineers you need. After lunch, I'll accompany you to the studio to see how you do the music

"No," Xiao Yao said, "I don't need a recorder or a musician. I can do it myself. Just have a casual lunch. If you can, I think it's a good choice to have a bento in the studio. "

Xiao Yao saw that Xu Wenxiang and others still despised the mainlanders and doubted their ability to record a song in four days. In this case, we don't need YH company's free labor at all. We plan to let them see their own recording skills.

"Senior, can I go to see you do music arrangement?" Yang Shiyun said, "I haven't seen it yet."Yang Shiyun has great confidence in Xiao Yao. In the program last year, Xiao Yao wrote out the score of "learn the cat to bark" and then threw it to six of them. He went to the recording room and brought back the soundtrack in one afternoon. Yang Shiyun absolutely believes that Xiao Yao can do the music arrangement in an afternoon, but he doesn't know how to do it. I'd like to have a chance this time, of course.

"Yes, don't delay. Just record tomorrow." Xiao Yao looked at Yang Shiyun and nodded.

"Recording tomorrow?" Xu Wenxiang and Chen Manli looked at each other, some speechless.

Xu Wenxiang goes out and orders people to prepare the recording room. Xiao Yao takes advantage of this time to call Fang and ask her to send someone to Hong Kong Island to help him talk about the song copyright contract. Fang is still Xiao Yao's agent, but since the establishment of Xiao Yao's personal studio, Fang has rarely appeared in person. It's a small matter like the copyright of a song. Obviously, Fang doesn't need to send someone from the studio.

After Xiao Yao's phone call with Fang, Xu Wenxiang also arranged a recording room. Xiao Yao followed Xu Wenxiang to a recording room on the third floor. In addition to these two people, Chen Manli, Yang Shiyun and Yang Shiyun's agent also follow in.

It's not that Xu Wenxiang hasn't seen some musicians make music arrangements independently, but most of them arrange music for various musical instruments through software on the computer, and they are basically constantly modifying and debugging one by one, but Xiao Yao is different.

After entering the recording room, Xiao Yao first looked at all kinds of equipment in the recording room. After looking at all the equipment, he sat down on the chair of the console, propped his elbow on the armrest of the chair, tilted his body, put his chin on his fist, and closed his eyes to meditate.

"He didn't come to sleep, did he?" Looking at Xiao Yao, Xu Wenxiang and Chen Manli look at each other silently.

More than ten minutes later, just as Chen Manli was impatient and wanted to speak, she saw Xiao Yao suddenly sit upright and operate with both hands on the console, then she pushed the door and went out. A moment later, through the glass window in front of the console, they saw that the door of the recording room opposite was opened, and Xiao Yao went in. After he closed the door of the recording room, Xiao Yao moved an electronic organ, debugged it, connected the equipment, and began to play with his hands on the keys.

Xu Wenxiang was able to understand Xiao Yao's operation. He immediately took out a pair of headphones, inserted them into the headphone jack on the console, and then put on the headphones to listen.

After playing for a few minutes, Xiao Yao stops playing the electronic organ, turns to open the door of the recording room and comes out. After a while, he returns to the operating room.

When Xu Wenxiang saw Xiao Yao stop playing, he took the earphone off his head and sat aside, but the earphone jack was not removed. Xiao Yao came back to see the inserted headphones, but he didn't say a word. He sat down in front of the console, put on the headphones and operated the devices on the console again.

Sitting next to Xiao Yao, Xu Wenxiang clearly saw that Xiao Yao pinched off a recorded track, then adjusted the middle part and saved it.

"So that's a good track?" Xu Wenxiang saw Xiao Yao take off the earphone and asked in surprise.

"Almost. I'm going to record another one." With that, Xiao Yao turned to go out again and went to the opposite recording room.

After playing the electronic organ for a few more minutes, Xiao Yao returns again, listens to the second paragraph he recorded, and does some processing.

When he got up for the third time and entered the recording room, instead of touching the keyboard, he moved a microphone to a set of drums, sat on the stool behind the drums and picked up the drumstick.

Although Xiao Yao's running back and forth seems silly, no one in the studio laughs at Xiao Yao's stupidity. Instead, they all show a look of horror.

"Ah Yun, did he really write this song last night?" Xu Wenxiang looks at Yang Shiyun and asks.

"Should be, right?" Yang Shiyun also said with some uncertainty, "he didn't come to Hong Kong Island to find me. I met him by accident yesterday. I did take him to Lidong street yesterday, and told him the history of Lidong street and some stories about Lidong street that I knew. Then when I went to see him this morning, he showed me the score of this song. Maybe, when he wrote this song last night, he had already thought about the arrangement of this song? "

As for Xiao Yao's present performance, it is obvious that the arrangement of the whole song is already in his mind. Although I did it for more than ten minutes in front of the console, it's hard to believe that just sitting for more than ten minutes, the arrangement of a song can completely appear in my mind.

"Even if he did it last night, it was terrible." Xu Wenxiang shook his head and said, "I can write such a song when I visit Lidong street with you. A song from inspiration, to come out of the lyrics, and then to make arrangements for the program, a total of one night time. Such musical talent and talent can be said to be overflowing. "

"Look at him, it won't take an afternoon to make the score. If you play well enough, maybe you can record the official version tonight. " Xu Wenxiang sighed again, "it took only one day for a song to be inspired and finished, including sleeping and having a meeting with us to talk about copyright! He's only in his early twenties, isn't he? Not to mention the young musicians on Hong Kong Island, even when I was young, I couldn't do that! ""Mr. Xu, you don't have to be like this." Hearing what Xu Wenxiang said, Chen Manli comforted him and said, "he is not an ordinary person. He won awards for singing and writing songs, acting and acting as a director. He also won awards for animation. His two films have won billions of box office in the world. Young people like him, not to mention Hong Kong Island, the mainland and even the whole world, can hardly find a second one. "

"It's just a song. If it's another musician, do we need two directors to work together? I just want to see this magic boy with my own eyes Chen Manli then said, "if he is like others, how can he achieve those results? Isn't it right to find that he's different now? "

"So it is Xu Wenxiang nodded, "if he has nothing special, it will make people suspect that his achievements are false. It's just a pity that such a young genius does not come from Hong Kong Island or our company. "

"It is a general trend that the mainland market exceeds that of Hong Kong Island. Even if he's in our company, I'm afraid we can't control him. " Chen Manli said with a smile, "we can see his character from his performance when he talked about song copyright with us just now. Both his parents are famous stars in the mainland. He has a studio at home, but he is independent and runs his own studio. He also runs a film and television company with several friends. There are actors and singers in his family's studio, but in recent years, there are few singers and actors he cooperates with in his parents' studio. Don't say we can't control him, I'm afraid his parents have very limited influence on him. "

"Ah Yun," said Chen Manli, turning her head curiously and looking aside at Yang Shiyun, "I'm very curious. Why did Xiao Yao suddenly write a song for you and appoint you as the original singer? Is it really just because you took him shopping last night? Do you have any other connections? "

"Well," Yang Shiyun thought about it and then replied, "maybe it's because we are friends? Last year, when he participated in the talent show of the women's League in Hangzhou, he was the senior of our group. We've been together for a full week, and we get along very well. We should be friends. "

After thinking about it, she decided to hide Xiao Yao's request for his uncle to do art guidance. Xiao Yao said that he wrote songs for himself in return for being a tour guide for him yesterday. At least on the surface, Xiao Yao did not show that he wrote songs for himself because of his uncle. She felt that even if Xiao Yao had that in mind, he certainly didn't want others to say that.

"I remember you said just now that he didn't come to Hong Kong Island to see you. You met by accident." Chen Manli then asked, "do you know what he came to Hong Kong Island for, just to play?"

"He's here for his new movie." Yang Shiyun did not hide this time, "he came to find an art director for his new film."

"That ~" as Chen Manli was about to say something, she suddenly felt that Xu Wenxiang had touched her. Turning to see Xiao Yao come out from the opposite recording room, Chen Manli says to Yang Shiyun, "we won't disturb Xiao Yao to do the soundtrack, you can go to the office with me, let's talk alone."
