I have a super resort

Chapter 244 Only Xu Shan Can Sing This Song

"Hey, now that you're a popular singer, I'm already quitting the music scene."

Once upon a time, Lan Qi single-handedly won several awards at the Golden Melody Awards, which was incomparably beautiful.

But now, Lan Qi was so downcast.

"Don't be discouraged, Sister Lan Qi, I will do my best to help you make a new album! Although I am not very good, my ability is not bad, and I will definitely not hold you back!"

Qiu Ding also knew what Lan Qi had experienced.

But as long as Xu Shan is here to support the situation, it will not be difficult for Lan Qi to make a comeback.

"Qiu Ding, it would be nice if I didn't hold you back! If you didn't come here in a hurry today, I really want to have a good chat with you about music. Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Sister Lan Qi, I'm not tired, let's talk now!"

When it came to music, both Lan Qi and Qiu Ding became very active, and they became talkative.

Xu Shan listened to the chat between the two, and Xu Shan also had a half-knowledge of some technical terms.

No way, this is the difference between music lovers and professional musicians.

After the two chatted, Lan Qi also said some of her own needs.

"Village Chief Xu Shan, if you really want to be a music company, you still need some music producers, sound engineers, sound mixers, and musicians. Of course, this has nothing to do with Qiu Ding. Qiu Ding's ability is beyond ordinary The producer's only thing is that he has his own creation and singing work, and it is impossible to spend all his time on other people's music production."

Xu Shan also understood after listening.

Qiu Ding can help Lan Qi make an album this time.

But Qiu Ding still needs to take care of his own music, and this time he just wants to help Lan Qi make music, and occasionally be a guest producer of others, so it is impossible to become a long-term producer candidate.

For Xu Shan, this is not a difficult task.

Just need some money.

"No problem, I still need the two of you to help me determine the range of candidates, and I will take care of the rest."

After the three discussed it, they decided on a basic plan.

In the music room of the resort, there can be some full-time musicians, and then contact some part-time or cooperative musicians.

Those with a relatively heavy workload, such as sound engineers, must have full-time employment.

Some do not need to be permanent, part-time jobs are fine.

After that, Lan Qi quickly started recording the demo.

The so-called demo, that is, a sample of the song, is a reference sample of the song, with only simple accompaniment and post-production.

This is also a necessary step in pop music production.First record the demo, then arrange and re-record.

But Lan Qi's demo is not very simple.

Even just the arrangement of the demo version, its complexity has surpassed that of many Douyin saliva songs.

After finishing a demo, Lan Qi will immediately show it to Qiu Ding.

"Amazing, Sister Lan Qi! I didn't expect you to be so good before, and you have a breakthrough in your new song!"

Hearing Lan Qi's demo, Qiu Ding couldn't help expressing his inner admiration.

"Hey, I was inspired by the sunny beach at the resort."

"When you finish this album for you, I will definitely try it too!"

Qiu Ding regretted that both Su Ju and Lan Qi had created such excellent music on the beach, but he didn't make good use of the resort as a source of inspiration.

In addition to the lyrics and music of the song, Qiu Ding was also surprised by the completeness of Lan Qi's demo.

"Sister Lan Qi, is this really a demo? I think it can be posted directly after a little processing."

"No, it's still far away. Let me tell you, as a producer, you are very important. If I can't hear the difference between the final version and the demo, you have to rework it."

Seeing Lan Qi like this not only reminded Qiu Ding of Jay Chou.

Friends who like music should know that Jay Chou's music is also collaborated with many master arrangers.

But Jay Chou's own composition ability is also very good.

Even many parts of it were edited by Jay Chou himself.

But due to his obsession with cleanliness of music, as long as the music is not completely composed by himself, Jay Chou will not add his name to the composition.

After that, Lan Qi told Qiu Ding about her thoughts.

Listening to Lan Qi's thoughts, Qiu Ding knew that this was indeed just a demo.

There are too many details that need to be filled in by yourself.

In this way, the two began to work day and night.

In addition to eating and sleeping, the two almost always soaked in the studio.

It was also the first time for Lan Qi to show such professionalism.

Because the current Lan Qi really wants to come up with a new album that is completely her own.

Xu Shan also promised Lan Qi that Lan Qi would own the copyright of her songs, and the company only helped Lan Qi make profits and participate in the share.

In the past few days, Xu Shan has supplemented the members of the resort's music studio through various relationships.

Because there aren't many jobs in resort music rooms these days.

In order to recruit some capable musicians, Xu Shan directly offered a salary higher than the industry level, and promised that there would be no basic salary for the first year.

Even if you don't have any job, you can still get a normal salary.

Moreover, without affecting their normal work, Xu Shan also allowed them to temporarily take on some other private work.

Of course, you have to report to the company, in case the company is busy with tasks after the election and has no time to take care of the company's business.

When he is free, Xu Shan will also come to the studio to see their progress.

Every time, Lan Qi and Qiu Ding were almost at work.

Xu Shan didn't want to bother, but was just looking forward to the final song.

Day by day, the crew finally finished filming and returned to the resort.

Xu Shan finally met Xiao Mengxue again.

Long time no see, Xiao Mengxue can finally watch football with Xu Shan again.

This night, the team supported by Xu Shan scored four goals in a row, and each goal was very beautiful.

The next day, Xu Shan and Xiao Mengxue talked about Lan Qi.

After hearing what happened to Lan Qi, Xiao Mengxue also felt very pitiful.

"Brother Xu, you have to help Lan Qi. She is one of the few outstanding musicians in the Chinese music scene. It would be a pity if her songs can no longer be sung."

"Don't worry, we have the same thoughts on this point. Lan Qi is currently in the process of intensive production of the new album. If there is a chance in the future, I will also help Lan Qi buy back the copyright of the previous songs."

Anyway, according to the terms of the contract, Lan Qi did not have the copyright to those songs.

But Xu Shan also knows that it doesn't make much sense for them to keep the copyright in the company.

Zhang Dan's B must also hope that Lan Qi can buy back the copyright.

Xu Shan thought, wait for Lan Qi to finish the new album, and then solve this remaining problem.

Just a new album can't help Lan Qi make a complete comeback.

After all, even if there is a concert, you still need to sing twenty or thirty songs.

There are only ten songs in an album, which is not enough to sing.

For this new album, Lan Qi did prepare ten songs.

And three of them are choral songs.

In one of the songs, Lan Qi has already sung with Qiu Ding, and the effect is good.

But for the other two songs, Lan Qi felt that it was not suitable for her to sing with Qiu Ding.

It's not that Qiu Ding's singing skills are faulty.

It's just that a more suitable voice is needed to perform this song.

Lan Qi always felt that in her memory, there was a voice that was especially suitable for performing this song with herself.

But Lan Qi still couldn't remember where this voice came from.

During a visit as usual, Xu Shan finally caught Lan Qi and Qiu Ding who were resting.

"Finally able to talk to you guys. How is the new album going?"

"The progress is good. Seven of the ten songs have been recorded and five arrangements have been completed. At this speed, the album can be completed within two months at the earliest."

"Not bad, this speed is really fast."

Like some relatively prolific musicians, they will release an album in a year or two.

But like some ace pigeons, it may not be possible to make an album in ten years.

At this moment, Lan Qi suddenly thought of something.

"That's right, that's the voice!"

Hearing Xu Shan's voice, Lan Qi suddenly realized that the voice she was looking for was Xu Shan!
Although Xu Shan's singing skills cannot be said to be very professional, they are already at a certain level.

What made Lan Qi more concerned was Xu Shan's unique timbre.

Full of a man's sense of maturity and vicissitudes, it is especially suitable for performing this song with Lan Qi.

"Village Chief Xu Shan, can you sing this song with me?"

Hearing Lan Qi's words, Xu Shan was also taken aback.

Lan Qi's new album, do you want to participate in it yourself?
Xu Shan's first reaction was that this was Lan Qi's way of thanking Xu Shan for his help.

After all, there are so many singers who are better than Xu Shan, Lan Qi can't choose Xu Shan, such a non-professional singer.

But Lan Qi also immediately explained:
"Village Chief Xu Shan, it's not for any other reason, but I really think that your voice is very suitable for this song."

Qiu Ding also agreed and said, "That's right, Brother Xu, I think so too. It's not a question of good or bad singing skills, but a question of whether it's suitable or not."

Lan Qi gave Xu Shan the impression that she was not the kind of person who likes to please others in this way.

There is no need to add yourself to Lan Qi's album.

And Qiu Ding is not that kind of person.

This dispelled Xu Shan's previous suspicions.

"Then let me listen to the demo first."

Xu Shan wanted to hear what kind of song it was.

Putting on the earphones, Xu Shan listened quietly.

This demo is the version jointly recorded by Lan Qi and Qiu Ding.

The song roughly tells that although two people love each other, due to various reasons, they can't get together in the end.

The quality of the song is very high, and the two of them sang very well.

But if Xu Shan really wanted to pick something wrong.

That is, the male voice sang really well.

This kind of goodness is not a compliment.

It's because the male vocal singing skills are too good to deduce that kind of more simple feelings.

Not to mention, if this song was sung by Xu Shan, it might really have a better feeling.

"Then... let me try?"

"Yes, Village Chief Xu Shan, you must give it a try! Don't worry, there's still a lot of time. I'll give you the score first, so you can familiarize yourself with the song."

Xu Shan took the sheet music and took a deep breath.

I actually had the opportunity to make music.

After returning, Xu Shan also told Xiao Mengxue about this matter.

"Meng Xue, Lan Qi invited me to sing a song with her."

Anyway, Xu Shan must let Xiao Mengxue know about this first.

Hearing Xu Shan's words, Xiao Mengxue not only didn't feel jealous at all, but was very excited.

"Really? That's great! Brother Xu, I just said that your voice is very suitable for singing. Sister Lan Qi must think your voice is very suitable."

Xiao Mengxue did not say such words because of Xu Shan's relationship with her.

For Xu Shan's voice, Xiao Mengxue really liked it from the bottom of her heart.

"Well, yes, that's what Lan Qi and Qiu Ding said. I listened to the demo, and it really suits me. Am I a little too arrogant?"

From a non-professional music lover to a singer who really recorded songs.

Xu Shan felt that such a leap was a bit big.

"Oh, Brother Xu, Lan Qi and Qiu Ding have recognized you so much, what are you afraid of? Have you heard of a singer who invited someone to sing a chorus just because he was the boss? There is no such thing at all, you just Take it easy, be confident!"

"Tch, you've educated me. Well, let me familiarize myself with the score first."

Although Xu Shan is not a professional musician, he can still understand the music.

If you want to perform a song well, the first step is to get familiar with the lyrics and music.

The difficulty of the song itself is not too great, and the vocal range is not wide.

But its difficulty lies in the emotion of the song.

For example, some songs like Eason's tunes are not high.

But if someone else sang it, it would be difficult to sing that feeling.

After Xu Shan practiced for a period of time, he was basically familiar with the entire lyrics.

But being familiar with the lyrics and music is only the first step.

If you want to sing your feelings, you need to further understand the song.

Xu Shan read the song carefully and felt the color of melody and harmony.

Gradually, Xu Shan has entered the story of the song.

Xu Shan fantasizes that he is the hero in the song.

There is a lover who loves each other but cannot get together.

With this emotion, Xu Shan's eyes gradually became moist.

Finally, Xu Shan understood the meaning of every lyric and every melody in the song.

"It's amazing, Lan Qi, you can write such a powerful work!"

This kind of depth of work is no longer something ordinary musicians can create.

After understanding the connotation of the song, Xu Shan can finally interpret the song better.

After several days of practice, Xu Shan has sung the song hundreds of times and is satisfied with his singing.

Xu Shan and Lan Qi set a time and made an appointment to go to the recording studio together.

Xiao Mengxue also expressed that she wanted to participate in the entire recording process.

Xu Shan and Xiao Mengxue came to the recording studio together.

This was also the first time Xiao Mengxue saw Lan Qi with her own eyes.

"Sister Lan Qi, hello! I am the assistant to the general manager of the resort, Xiao Mengxue."
