042 [Mysterious Past]
After Chen Taixuan returned to the hotel, he ordered Fenyang.zhou fried rice to his room, and then watched foreign cartoons while eating. He was a very closed person outside of work. Except for a few close friends, he would hardly attend any parties or activities.
It was almost 9:30 after a fried rice, and Chen Taixuan had not yet waited for the young man he was waiting for.
If it were other famous music producers, I would definitely be very angry at this time - I kindly wanted to support you, but you were late for playing with airs, which was simply shameless!
But Chen Taixuan was neither angry nor disappointed. He slowly took a pair of underwear to take a shower, and seemed to have never taken Ye Cheng's affairs to heart.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
At this moment, the knock on the door sounded.
Chen Taixuan threw away his underwear and ran to open the door, and suddenly found two people standing outside the door.
Ke Liang smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello Teacher Chen, I am Ye Cheng's agent Ke Liang."
Chen Taixuan was obviously stunned when he saw Ke Liang, and then smiled and said, "Hello, Xiao Ke, I didn't expect you to change careers and become an agent."
"Do you know me?" Ke Liang was a little surprised.
"How many people who were in the Beijing music circle back then didn't know you Xiao Ke?" Chen Taixuan moved away and said, "Please come in, you two."
Ye Cheng followed the two into the house. He looked at Ke Liang's back curiously, and was even more curious about this guy's experience back then. Even the gold medal producer of Dadi Records had heard of Ke Liang's name.
"Sit as you like." Chen Taixuan searched in the room for a long time, and finally found a few bags of instant coffee on the desk, so he made a cup of Ye Cheng and Ke Liang respectively.
Ke Liang took the initiative to ask, "I heard that the album of "Good Chinese Songs" this time will be left to Dadi Records for making?"
Chen Taixuan nodded and said, "It is indeed the responsibility of Dadi Records. I am the producer of these four albums."
The competition system of "Good Chinese Songs" is as follows: There are four music tutors in the program, each tutor selects 10 students, and then a group champion is decided from these 10 students. Finally, these 4 group champions participate in the finals and the championship is decided by media people.
The 10 students in each instructor group will form an album and produce a large album together. The production and distribution of these four albums will be handed over to Dadi Records to complete, and Chen Taixuan is the general producer of good song records.
Ke Liang stared at Chen Taixuan for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and said, "Teacher Chen asked us to come to your room. Isn't it about a good song album?"
Chen Taixuan shook his head and said bluntly: "I think the young man has great potential, so I want to train him. But since you are his agent, I'm presumptuous. I don't have the ability to steal people from you."
Ke Liang sat casually on the sofa and joked: "Oh, we are not bandits, so why do we say we should rob people or not? Is it okay to talk about cooperation?"
"How to cooperate?" Chen Taixuan asked.
Ke Liang handed a business card to Chen Taixuan: "Fengyun Entertainment Studio and Dadi Records cooperation are a relatively independent and long-term cooperation." As he said that, Ke Liang pointed to Ye Cheng again, "Xiao Ye is also a shareholder of the studio."
Chen Taixuan glanced at Ke Liang's business card and sighed: "Xiao Ke is still the same Xiao Ke. You used this trick back then, and wanted to use the company's shares to trap Chen Huiwen."
"Don't mention the matter back then. I've taken a look," Ke Liang said with his legs crossed, "Let's talk about our cooperation first..."
"Sorry, it's not us," Chen Taixuan interrupted him, "I'm just a music producer for Dadi Records, and I don't have that much power to work with you."
Ke Liang took out a cigarette and fired fire and said, "Although we are only meeting for the first time, if my news is not wrong, Mr. Chen, you should be the second largest shareholder of Dadi Records."
Chen Taixuan looked at the cigarette in Ke Liang's mouth and smiled: "Your ears are very well-informed, but the news you know seems to be outdated."
"What news?" Ke Liang asked intriguingly.
Chen Taixuan asked back: "Do you know who are the four mentors of "Good Chinese Songs" this time?"
Ke Liang said: "It seems that there is Liu Huan, and I don't know much about the others."
"The mentors this time have three men and one woman," Chen Taixuan smiled with a bad taste, "Who is that female mentor? Xiao Ke, you should be able to guess now?"
Ke Liang, who had always had no worries about everything, changed his face drastically and asked, "Is it her?"
"It's her." Chen Taixuan nodded.
Ye Cheng was confused by the side and asked, "Brother Liang, who are you talking about?"
Before Ke Liang could answer, Chen Taixuan said to him: "Young man, you should have heard of Chen Huiwen, right?"
There are two great queens in the mainland pop music scene. In addition to Xing Lina, there is another one named Chen Huiwen. Ye Cheng said without hesitation: "How could I not have heard of the popular Chinese pop queen Chen Huiwen?"
"That's right," Chen Taixuan joked maliciously, "Your good brother was Chen Huiwen's old lover back then."
Ye Cheng then remembered that Pang Yuhua said that Ke Liang had slept with a queen, and it turned out that he was referring to Chen Huiwen. The gossip soul hidden in his heart began to burn, and he looked at Ke Liang curiously, but saw that this guy's face was not right.
"Cough," Ke Liang coughed and said to Chen Taixuan, "Mr. Chen, let's talk about cooperation."
Chen Taixuan raised his hand to stop him and said, "Don't be anxious, wait until the program is broadcast, and then see the effect."
"Okay, I look forward to our happy cooperation," Ke Liang didn't want to stay in this room since he heard about Chen Huiwen. He stood up and said, "It's getting late, so it's not good to disturb Mr. Chen's rest again, goodbye!"
"No delivery." Chen Taixuan was sitting on the sofa on the ground, and indeed he had no intention of seeing off guests.
Ye Cheng followed Ke Liang out of the room and asked curiously: "Brother Liang, Queen Chen used to be your girlfriend?"
"Don't ask more about adults, kids," Ke Liang said angrily, and took a few steps and said, "By the way, before the official recording of the program, I have something very urgent to rush back to the capital, so I won't stay in Shanghai for you."
Seeing Ke Liang's serious look, Ye Cheng thought silently in his heart: What's the most important thing is that this guy is probably afraid of seeing an old lover, so he wants to escape.
...
...
After the trial sing, Ye Cheng waited for two days before receiving the message from the program team, informing him to go to Baoshan Gymnasium to record the program on July 5th.
There are still several days before the official opening of the recording, and there is still a rehearsal. While waiting for the rehearsal, Ye Cheng was idle and stayed in the hotel to do live broadcasts. Occasionally, he communicated with Gao Yuanyuan to explain his boredom.
On the weekly list of WOWO Music’s new songs, "The First Experience of Love" has reached fifth place. This song is extremely popular, and even pirated CDs have appeared. Pirates collect popular online songs at present, and more than ten songs are pressed together to make CDs. The customers are basically drivers.
Look, on the way to the recording studio, the taxi that Ye Cheng was taking was playing "The First Experience of Love" on a pirated CD.
He could hear his own songs far away from the sea. Ye Cheng felt a little proud and asked, "Master, this song is quite good, what's its name?"
"Wait, I'll look for it," the driver fumbled around the bottom of the driver's platform, took out a CD packaging case and glanced at it, "It seems to be called "The First Experience of Love", well, this is the name."
Sure enough, I knew it was like this!
Ye Cheng's self-confidence was instantly hit. After a long time of work, he still couldn't escape the fate of not being popular among people. Perhaps millions of people in China have heard his songs, but there are really few people who can call the name Ye Cheng. Many people like this driver may have heard "The First Experience of Love" countless times, but they can't even call the name of this song.
The recording will be officially started in two days. The program team specially arranged an arrangement teacher for Ye Cheng, which is the standard for every participant.
When I walked into the recording studio to explain my purpose, a man in his 30s said, "You are Ye Cheng, right? I thought about your song "Dongfeng Po" all day long, but I couldn't change the arrangement at all, so I used your original arrangement."
Ye Cheng was speechless, thinking that you didn’t change it, so I’ll come to the recording studio to make fun of it!
In fact, the arrangement teacher was even more speechless. The song Ye Cheng brought was too complete. Every detail from writing lyrics, composing to arranging music was already perfect. The arrangement teacher tried several adaptations, but any changes seemed to destroy the overall beauty of the song, which hit him a huge blow to the arrangement for nearly ten years.
Well, although there is no need to worry about arrangement, Ye Cheng still needs to work with the band and will go to the gymnasium to rehearse in the afternoon.
During the rehearsal, the director thought the song was quaint and wanted Ye Cheng to wear a long gown from the Qing Dynasty and hold a pipa to play. But Ye Cheng felt that the long gown had a rotten spirit and refused to wear it. Finally, after compromising with each other, the director gave him a set of Zhongshan outfits.
After a total of four rehearsals, Ye Cheng was completely adapted to the band, and the director then let Ye Cheng go back to rest with satisfaction.
Chapter completed!
