Chapter 410: His future is truly limitless!
Yu Huan slumped lazily on the sofa, exuding a sense of ease and comfort.
His gaze pierced through the glass partition, landing on Lin Yourong in the recording studio.
At this moment, she was looking down slightly, intently staring at the lyrics on the music stand, her lips moving slightly, her expression very serious.
Yu Huan inadvertently glanced at Hu Jiyan, who was nodding frequently. It seemed that his wife was discussing the recording process with the music director, who was also acting as the recording engineer.
He straightened his upper body slightly, picked up a Lock & Lock water bottle, tilted his head back, and downed half of it in one gulp.
The sweet taste spread instantly in my mouth, like a clear spring flowing over parched land, bringing a refreshing sensation.
This made him let out a soft sigh of relief.
Although the air conditioning and heating here are not turned up very high, the temperature is just right.
However, as a closed space, the lack of air circulation in a recording studio can make people feel somewhat stuffy after a while.
Yu Huan leaned back on the sofa, adjusted her posture slightly, and after a moment's thought, decided to go outside for some fresh air and take a quick break.
"Yujia, I'm going out for a walk," Yu Huan said as she stood up.
Xing Yujia, who was trying to find something to do and was focused on her phone, looked up when she heard this.
She quickly said, "Brother Huan, the restroom is on the other side of the stairs."
"okay, I get it."
Yu Huan nodded slightly, took a step, and walked towards the door.
The moment I opened the door, a breath of fresh air rushed in.
Yu Huan took a deep breath and immediately felt refreshed.
He suddenly realized that since Hunan TV was recording "I Am a Singer" and Hu Jiyan had just mentioned running into Liang Qiaobo, there must be other famous singers in the rooms on both sides of this corridor.
Thinking of this, Yu Huan couldn't help but listen carefully, and sure enough, she could hear faint music.
It seems someone is hitting high notes?
Yu Huan kept walking, the "clack-clack-clack" of her heels echoing like a secluded valley in the corridor.
He walked straight in the direction Xing Yujia pointed out...
No sooner had he left than the closed doors of the recording studio were suddenly pushed open, the slight sound seeming particularly abrupt in the quiet space.
Xing Yujia initially thought that Yu Huan had returned, and a sense of surprise welled up in her heart. She wondered to herself, "Why did Brother Huan come back so quickly?"
Just as I was wondering, I caught a glimpse of a reserved middle-aged man slowly walking in.
Behind him followed closely a tall man wearing black-rimmed glasses, who was not much shorter than Huan Ge.
In a flash, Xing Yujia recognized who the two people were!
Liang Qiaobo!
Sha Baoliang!
Her heart started racing, and she hurriedly put her phone on the coffee table and stood up.
Remembering that Hu Jiyan was working nearby, Xing Yujia lowered her voice and greeted him, "Hello, Teacher Liang Qiaobo and Teacher Sha Baoliang."
Liang Qiaobo nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping around before finally settling on Xing Yujia.
He smiled warmly and replied in thick Hong Kong-accented Mandarin, "Good afternoon."
Sha Baoliang smiled and greeted Xing Yujia, saying, "Hello."
Xing Yujia felt a surge of excitement.
These two big shots actually responded to her, especially the taciturn Liang Qiaobo, who even greeted her!
Her gaze swept back and forth between Liang Qiaobo and Sha Baoliang, watching them stop behind Hu Jiyan and look towards Lin Yourong in the recording studio.
Xing Yujia thought to herself, this must be because of the connection between the dog and the house—
At this moment, Hu Jiyan was staring intently at the control panel screen, his thoughts completely absorbed in matters related to the recording.
However, the subtle changes in light and shadow made him keenly aware that two figures were being cast on the control panel.
Although he was still deep in thought about the various details of the recording, this sudden situation still distracted him, and he slowly turned his head.
When his slightly puzzled gaze clearly fell upon Liang Qiaobo and Sha Baoliang standing behind him, a warm smile immediately appeared on his face.
He nodded slightly, gesturing to the two of them.
Then, Hu Jiyan quickly turned back, spoke into the microphone, and shared his well-thought-out thoughts:
"Lin Su, although the song 'The Wind on the Way Home' is quite long, you're in great form today. How about we try recording it in two parts? Let's start from the beginning and go to the end of the first chorus, then we can listen to it again and see where there's anything lacking, and then we can make some additional recordings."
Lin Yourong, in the recording studio, clearly heard Hu Jiyan's words through her monitoring headphones. She gently raised her eyes and naturally looked towards the glass partition.
An unintentional glance suddenly fell on Hu Jiyan's back, where Liang Qiaobo and Sha Baoliang stood on either side.
Lin Yourong was slightly taken aback, a brief look of surprise flashing across her delicate face.
But soon, she smiled, nodded politely to them, and replied, "Okay."
Hu Jiyan continued, "Lin Su, the melody of this song, 'The Wind on the Way Home,' is very catchy. I have full confidence in your abilities, and I believe you can perform it exceptionally well. Calm down and find your rhythm. Once you feel your emotions are in place, feel free to call me to start recording."
"it is good."
After Lin Yourong responded again, she immediately continued looking at the sheet music on the music stand.
Her gaze fell familiarly on the lyrics, "Let the road I came from take me home, on my way home," which is the last line of the first chorus.
"The Wind on the Way Home" is a slow, lyrical song that is nearly five and a half minutes long.
It's important to know that in today's music market, many songs are less than three minutes long.
Therefore, recording such a long song in two parts while striving for perfection was indeed a considerable challenge for Lin Yourong.
After Hu Jiyan finished speaking, he slightly moved his left earcup aside and then reached out to turn off the microphone so as not to disturb Lin Su's conversation.
After doing all that, he subconsciously glanced at the sofa.
Xing Yujia was standing quietly by the coffee table, while Yu Huan, who should have been sitting on the sofa, was nowhere to be seen.
He thought to himself, no wonder Liang Qiaobo and Sha Baoliang were standing behind him like door gods, it turns out Xiao Yu wasn't here.
A hint of doubt appeared on Hu Jiyan's face, and he opened his mouth as if to ask a question. Xing Yujia keenly noticed the change in his expression and said rather cleverly, "Director Hu, Brother Huan just left not long ago, and Teacher Liang Qiaobo and Teacher Sha Baoliang came over."
"Oh."
Hu Jiyan responded softly, the doubt on his face easing slightly.
Not just him.
After hearing Xing Yujia's words, Liang Qiaobo pondered for a moment and quickly realized that the "Huan Ge" mentioned by Lin Su's assistant must be referring to Mr. Y.
After figuring this out, he nodded in understanding.
Hu Jiyan turned to the side, with a hint of teasing, and said to Liang Qiaobo and Sha Baoliang, "Teacher Liang, Teacher Sha, you've come at just the right time. You were so close to running into Mr. Y."
Upon hearing this, Sha Baoliang laughed heartily and readily took over the conversation: "I heard from Teacher Liang that the lyricist and composer of 'Time Thief' and 'It' are here, and I was very curious, so I thought I'd come over for a visit, join in the fun, and get to know this talented creator."
Leung Kwok-pak pursed his lips, a faint smile on his face, and replied to Hu Kee-yin, "It's alright, we'll definitely run into each other tonight."
Hearing this, Hu Jiyan smiled knowingly.
Seeing this, Sha Baoliang knew from their expressions and conversation that they definitely had plans for the evening...
"Teacher Sha, it's like this, Lin Su's manager is treating us to dinner today. I've been friends with her for many years, why don't you join us tonight? We're all musicians," Hu Jiyan said sincerely to Sha Baoliang.
The voice just fell.
Sha Baoliang immediately put on an apologetic smile and politely declined without hesitation: "Thank you so much for your invitation, but I have already made plans with a friend and it would be really inconvenient to break my promise. I regret that I have to miss this opportunity, but I believe there will definitely be other opportunities in the future."
After all, this was just a dinner party he was invited to on a whim, so he naturally wouldn't participate.
Hu Jiyan nodded understandingly and said, "It's alright. Since Teacher Sha has made arrangements, let's get together again next time. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Definitely, definitely," Sha Baoliang replied with a smile.
Then, he turned to look at Lin Yourong behind the glass partition, whose face was serene and whose expression was serious, and said with admiration:
"As a new generation singer, Lin Su has the opportunity to participate in a top music program like 'I Am a Singer' during the rising period of her career. She is also so beautiful. Her future is truly limitless!"
Hu Jiyan nodded in deep agreement:
"I had the privilege of hearing her sing live when I was recording Happy Camp. I was immediately moved by her voice and emotional expression. I thought this young girl was extraordinary and would definitely go far in her musical career. I never expected that she would go so far in the blink of an eye. It's no exaggeration to say that Lin Su is the most popular new generation singer in the Chinese music scene right now."
Sha Baoliang asked on a whim, "Lin Su is a new singer joining the recording for the next episode. What song did she choose? I'm quite curious to see what kind of performance she will bring to the show."
Liang Qiaobo shook his head slightly and slowly took over the conversation, saying, "Lin Su's competition song has not been decided yet. She is very careful about the song selection and is probably still considering it."
Upon hearing this, Sha Baoliang already had a fairly certain guess in his mind.
According to the competition rules, each singer has two opportunities to perform their own songs.
For her first performance, she would definitely choose to sing her own song.
As a new generation singer, Lin Su has only released one album, so her choices are naturally limited to the two hit songs, "Time Thief" and "It's You".
He believes that compared to the slow song "Time Thief", the more upbeat "It's You" undoubtedly has an advantage on stage.
Therefore, Lin Su should have chosen the latter option this time.
Sha Baoliang changed his mind and said with a smile, "Anyway, in a few days, we'll know what song she's going to sing during the rehearsal."
Xing Yujia quietly observed the three men chatting happily.
Sha Baoliang, born in the 70s, is more than a decade older than Hu Jiyan, who was born in the 80s.
Surprisingly, when they were together, Sha Baoliang looked much younger than Hu Jiyan.
Hu Jiyan has a small, distinctive mustache, and with his receding hairline, he looks like he's the same age as Liang Qiaobo, who was born in the 60s.
She felt that no one seemed to notice her, and standing there like that wasn't a solution, so she quietly sat down again.
Just as she settled down, she suddenly noticed Liang Qiaobo turn his head.
He asked her in his distinctive Cantonese-accented Mandarin, "What did Mr. Y go out to do? When will he be back?"
Seeing this, Xing Yujia quickly leaned forward slightly, her face full of respect, and replied, "He didn't say exactly what he was going to do. I think he should be back soon, but I really can't say for sure when."
Her voice carried a hint of nervousness.
After all, facing a big name like Liang Qiaobo, it's inevitable to feel some pressure, and one is completely unaware that they have said something nonsense.
Liang Qiaobo nodded slightly after hearing her answer, then looked away and turned his gaze to the audio track on the control panel screen.
He smiled and said, "I have always admired Mr. Y's work. Especially after hearing that Mr. Y personally wrote and arranged all the lyrics, music, and arrangement for Lin Su's new album, I am even more looking forward to it."
Upon hearing Liang Qiaobo's words, Hu Jiyan immediately responded, "Teacher Liang, the song 'The Wind on the Way Home' that Lin Su is currently recording is the one I told you about before, a pop song with a very unique structure."
"Oh?" Liang Qiaobo immediately became interested.
Sha Baoliang's face also showed confusion. The words "mainstream melody" and "popular song" together...
Just then, Hu Jiyan suddenly heard Lin Yourong's gentle voice coming from his right earpiece: "I'm ready."
He immediately perked up and instantly got into work mode.
Hu Jiyan gently turned on the microphone by twisting a knob on the workbench.
At the same time, he leaned forward and said, "Okay, Lin Su, let's start recording the first segment."
After saying this, he quickly turned to Liang Qiaobo and Sha Baoliang and gestured for them to wait a moment.
Sha Baoliang nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.
Liang Qiaobo noticed a pair of listening headphones on the control panel, then reached out, picked them up, and put them on his head.
The moment the gentle piano music reached his ears, Liang Qiaobo immediately recognized it as the sound of an electronic piano.
Compared to an acoustic piano, an electronic piano's tone is less three-dimensional and lacks the rich layers of sound found in an acoustic piano.
Liang Qiaobo frowned slightly...
The rough and awkward prelude was so bad that he couldn't bear to listen to it.
