Hearing Liang Wenkai's question, Meng Tianye subconsciously looked at Cheng Lang.

However, Cheng Lang, who has always been quick-witted and often makes people speechless, didn't answer Liang Wenkai's words.He just said: "Time is running out, and several producers are here, why don't we discuss Meng Tianye's new song first."

As Cheng Lang said, he asked Meng Tianye to show his works, and chatted with several producers about his needs for arrangement.

The producers didn't say anything. After receiving the score and the demo demo that Meng Tianye had recorded in the recording studio, they felt refreshed.

"The melody is very refreshing!" Teacher Wen Yuan, who has always been known as the godfather of pop music, took a look at Meng Tianye: "I remember you sang rock and roll?"

Meng Tianye nodded quickly, and explained nervously: "But Cheng Lang wants a fresh and beautiful milk tea promotional song. I will try my best."

"You are quite good at making original works according to Party A's requirements." Teacher Zhou Miao, who once supervised the production of a diamond record and produced countless hit albums, said with emotion.She has contacted many original singers and music producers.When these people give free rein, they can occasionally write a catchy pop song or two.But if you accept business promotion, subject to Party A's rules and regulations, the songs you produce will inevitably show a bit of craftsmanship.This is also an important reason why business promotional songs rarely produce classics.

Unexpectedly, Meng Tianye, a young rock singer, was able to break this "curse" when he was making a promotional song.Although this milk tea promotional song without a name is still a semi-finished product, the melody is fresh and catchy, and it is very recognizable.just a little bit --

"The guitar solo in the chorus is too showy and doesn't match the overall style of the song." Zhou Miao said bluntly: "Although you have tried your best to get close to the style of the whole song, if you taste it carefully, there will still be a sense of fragmentation. This They probably weren't created at the same time. They weren't even created for the same purpose."

Just listening to the demo, you can taste so many details.

Meng Tianye nodded desperately convinced, and said, "The guitar solo of the chorus was created by me later. Suddenly inspiration came to me at that time. I think this solo sounds very good. I want to add it."

"This solo is really okay, but it's not suitable for this song." Teacher Zhao Mingyue commented: "It's like you can't put chili in Huaiyang cuisine. It's not that chili is bad, but it's not suitable."

"Your song obviously has a very light overall style, but when you reach the climax of the chorus, you just made such a strong solo, which is very inappropriate."

"That's right! Especially for this song, Party A wants to play a little white noise at the beginning. The sound of wind blowing leaves, waves beating rain is clear, just to bring the audience into a beautiful and fresh atmosphere. Then you chorus Such a strong solo suddenly came, it will be very dramatic." Zhou Miao said here, and suddenly said: "Actually, if this song wants to achieve the effect Party A wants, it is completely possible to not use lyrics."

"But pure music can't attract most people." Wen Yuan emphasized: "Although light music can perfectly set off the atmosphere, if you want to achieve a certain degree of popularity and achieve a publicity effect through this degree of popularity, pop music is better. It fits a little."

"We can make the lyrics simpler. Find a girl with a clear and sweet voice to hum." Wen Yuan continued: "You must know that when many people learn songs, they don't always remember the lyrics, but they will remember the melody, and then Humming. We can also use this method. In fact, it will be more suitable for the atmosphere that Party A wants."

A girl, holding a cup of milk tea on a sunny day or slightly drunk in the spring rain, walks in the charming streets and alleys, with headphones in her ears, humming softly while listening to songs, observing with a very beautiful state of mind surrounding people and scenery.

"When we were making the MV, we could use full light and shadow to set off the melody of this song. To play a complementary role."

"It's very small and refreshing." Wen Yuan said.

As expected of a gold-medal music producer known as the godfather of pop music, he finalized the recording direction and recording style of the entire single in a few words, and everyone felt that it was very appropriate.

"Actually, you can also add a little boy to harmonize. The crisp and sweet girl humming, and the gentle and healing boy's chorus, there will be a kind of love atmosphere." Zhou Miao also added: "After all, people who like to drink milk tea Not only cute and lovely girls, but also many boys like to drink it. You can see that boys and girls basically drink milk tea when they date on weekends. So don’t favor one over the other!”

Before the words fell, everyone laughed out loud.

Wen Yuan continued: "So the remaining question is what do we need to use to play the main theme of this song? My suggestion is to choose among the piano, cello and guitar."

"The piano will have a very crisp and rich background, because it is the king of musical instruments! When we use the piano to play, there will be a very gentle, soft and lively feeling. The cello is very elegant, with a beautiful melody, and there will be a kind of A particularly romantic atmosphere. It’s like going to a prom. It’s more suitable for girls’ fantasies. The guitar is very friendly, the sister next door, the sun is lively, and it’s very suitable for travel or outings.”

"I still think piano and guitar will be more suitable for this promotional song." Zhou Miao said: "Because the promotional songs for milk tea shops are more aimed at young boys and girls. Will the cello be too heavy? "

"But I think the cello is also good. Milk tea shop! When you think of milk tea, you will think of something very silky."

"The piano is more comfortable and fits better."

"I think the guitar would be nice too. Kinder."

The three gold medal music producers are at odds.In the end, several people looked at Cheng Lang at the same time: "You are Party A, what do you think?"

Cheng Lang thought for a while: "Why don't we all try?"

Children only make choices, and it is rare to encounter a situation where the three major music producers are very favorable.Of course, Cheng Lang had to take it all at once.

"By the way, how about I invite everyone to drink the milk tea in our store?" Cheng Lang said with a smile: "Our milk tea is really delicious. Maybe everyone will have more inspiration after drinking it."

"Okay!" Zhou Miao said with a smile: "I saw a lot of people praising your milk tea on Hot Search yesterday. Actually, I also like drinking milk tea."

"I heard that you have also developed your own milk tea cream and milk tea powder." Mr. Lu, who had been standing by the side without saying a word, said, "I heard that the taste of the milk tea made on site is very different from that of takeaway milk tea. I don't know." Do we have the luck to drink the milk tea made on the spot?"

"Since I invite everyone to drink milk tea, of course I want to invite you to drink the best milk tea." Cheng Lang said, "Excuse me", and went outside the recording studio to call Shen Huaiyu.

"...Do you want me to go to the record company to make milk tea for everyone?" On the phone, Shen Huaiyu asked in surprise, "Are you in the record company now?"

"Well." Cheng Lang explained: "We are making a promotional song for a milk tea shop. So I want the producer to taste our milk tea for himself, and see if we can inspire everyone with better inspiration under the stimulation of taste buds. So let them drink the best milk tea. That is, the tea you, the developer, made yourself."

"Is it convenient for you to come out now?"

Shen Huaiyu said: "Of course it's convenient. I'm reading in the library. I wanted to look up information about tea. See if I can get some inspiration. Since you need me, I'll go to the milk tea shop to get milk tea cream and tea sets, and then Go to the record company to meet you."

"That's good. I'll send you the location." Cheng Lang said, "Be careful on the road."

Cheng Lang hung up the phone, and when he turned around, he saw Mr. Lu standing behind him with his arms folded.

"Who are you talking on the phone with so much patience?" Boss Lu asked curiously, "It shouldn't be Boss Qin, right?"

"My partner." Cheng Lang said, "He's also the CTO of Mori Milk Tea. He developed the new milk tea you're going to drink later."

"I thought you would take this opportunity to invite everyone in our company to drink milk tea." Mr. Lu said, "You are not the same as usual today. I am still not used to it."

Cheng Lang raised his eyebrows.

Mr. Lu explained: "I thought you would be unreliable as usual. I didn't expect you to be serious and steady when you do things."

Cheng Lang said: "If Mr. Lu is referring to the doubts of several producers about Meng Tianye. I believe that with Meng Tianye's strength, he will find a way to resolve everyone's prejudice against him."

Cheng Lang is very clear that in many cases, people's prejudices will not be eliminated because of other people's explanations in a few words.On the contrary, this kind of forced indoctrination will arouse the resentment of others.So Cheng Lang usually didn't bother to explain, he was used to doing things directly.As long as you can achieve the result you want in the end, it doesn't matter what others think.

"Is that what you think?" Mr. Lu looked at Cheng Lang in surprise.She suddenly discovered that Cheng Lang was actually a very selfish person.It's just that he is used to having a hippie smile, and few people can see through his true nature.

"It seems that you are really optimistic about Meng Tianye." Mr. Lu said with interest: "I am also curious about the charm of the person you are so optimistic about. I hope that this person will not disappoint me in the next performance. .”

"I believe Boss Lu will not be disappointed." Cheng Lang said, looking past Boss Lu, and looking at Meng Tianye who was standing outside the recording studio door at some time: "You think so?"

Meng Tianye glanced at Mr. Lu solemnly, and nodded heavily.

Four or ten minutes later, Cheng Lang received a call, and Shen Huaiyu had already arrived at the door of the record company.

Cheng Lang went down to pick him up.I saw Shen Huaiyu holding the special takeaway box made by the milk tea shop in his arms, surrounded by a group of little girls, looking flustered and at a loss.

"Are you the delivery person of the milk tea shop or the delivery person of the platform, why have I never seen you before?"

"How handsome!"

"Will you come to our company to be an artist? Shall I contact you for an interview?"

"Can you sing?"

"He is the boss of our Mori milk tea!" Cheng Lang said with a smile: "Everyone can pay attention to the official account of our Mori milk tea. There is a video of this handsome guy playing the piano and ordering tea. Our boss is not only handsome, but also Versatile and rich. Very powerful."

"Cheng Lang!" Shen Huaiyu looked at Cheng Lang helplessly, blushing: "Didn't you say you want to drink milk tea! I brought everything here. Let's go upstairs quickly."

"Okay!" Cheng Lang stepped aside: "Boss, please."

Cheng Lang took the takeaway box and took Shen Huaiyu by elevator all the way to the recording studio.As soon as I entered the door, I heard Zhao Mingyue comment on Meng Tianye: "...Your basic skills are not bad, but your singing is not contagious. I have seen your performance in "Tomorrow's Starlight". The most important thing is this tone. Without this tone, it’s like a person loses energy, even if the person looks intact, it’s meaningless. It’s like a glass of plain water.”

As a gold medal producer who single-handedly created the rock era in the mainland, Zhao Mingyue's evaluation is still very sharp and thorough.Meng Tianye had no choice but to explain: "I know that too. In fact, I was quite good on stage in Bai Yujing. I don't know why, but I can't perform well on the show. They said my acting style is only suitable for underground bars, no Suitable for the stage."

What Meng Tianye said was restrained. What he said originally was "can only be a resident singer in a bar, not on stage."

Zhao Mingyue said: "This is nonsense. Really good music can resonate, and really good singing is regardless of the occasion. You can't infect the audience, you can only say that you have a problem. You have to find out this problem and solve it. If you also If you think your performance can’t be on stage, then why should we believe that your singing can conquer fans and hold up a concert?”

Zhao Mingyue's words completely pierced the window paper. While Meng Tianye felt ashamed, he couldn't help but secretly ruthless: "I will definitely perform well in the next performance. I will let everyone see my strength."

While talking, Meng Tianye received another call from the program team.

"...They asked me to go back to the TV station to draw lots." After hanging up the phone, Meng Tianye looked at Cheng Lang anxiously: "Then I'll go back first?"

Cheng Lang nodded at Meng Tianye.

Meng Tianye returned to the TV station with a heavy face.The other nineteen contestants have arrived.They are huddling together and whispering.Seeing Meng Tianye coming in, the discussion stopped abruptly.All the players scattered around intentionally or unintentionally.

Everyone felt the stalemate between Meng Tianye and the program crew.Obviously, no one wants to get too close to Meng Tianye at this juncture, so as not to be implicated.

Meng Tianye was also used to this kind of treatment.He found a random place and stood silently.

Soon, the host and several judges and teachers also came in.The host stood in front of the camera and explained the lottery rules: "In order to maximize the potential and talents of the contestants and comprehensively assess each contestant's music theory and basic skills, we will use a new rule for this lottery... The repertoire you will perform in the next performance will be drawn from these twenty envelopes. The order of the draw will be based on your ranking in the last performance assessment."

Hearing the host's words, the faces of the twenty contestants on the scene were not very good-looking: "...It will be miserable if we get a style of music that we are not good at."

Hearing the contestants' complaints, the judge teacher laughed and said: "As a real singer, even if there are repertoires that you are not good at, you can find a way to adapt them into your own good styles to sing. We look forward to the contestants to bring some A refreshing audio-visual feast."

Several players looked at each other in blank dismay when they heard this.

The host urged: "Then, let's start with the champion contestant from the last performance."

The contestant who was lucky enough to win the championship in the last performance took a deep breath, stepped forward, bowed to the twenty envelopes very reverently, and said a few words in front of the camera to express his nervousness, and then Hesitating and tangled, he chose an envelope.

Open the envelope, inside is an old song from 30 years ago.The champion player hadn't even heard of it, and immediately wrinkled his face and wailed: "I'm too unlucky!" Seeing this, the others also became worried.

Meng Tianye's ranking in the last performance assessment was No.8, so when it was his turn to draw envelopes, there were still thirteen envelopes left on the table.Without even thinking about it, Meng Tianye picked up an envelope and opened it. After seeing the writing on it clearly, his face suddenly became gloomy as if ink had been splashed on it.

Some contestants were very curious and sneaked a glance at Meng Tianye's entry.Suddenly dumbfounded.

I saw a few simple words written on a piece of snow-white paper——
