After failing the college entrance examination, he became a big star

Chapter 508 I'm Not Even A Friend In Your Heart

Whether the melody of the song is moving, whether the lyrics are catchy, and whether the artistic conception of the lyrics is touching.

This is a popular song. Before going through the market test, there are three major elements for musicians in the circle to predict whether it will be popular.

The three songs "Perseverance", "One Cut Plum", and "Moonlight Lover" obviously all have these three elements.

What's even more commendable is that the styles of music are different, and the artistic conception of the lyrics is very different, but they are all easy to catch the ears of the audience and infect the soul.

Even with Jin Qiming's harsh gaze, he couldn't help saying hello three times, and then looked at Li Kai, with a touch of emotion in his eyes.

There are not many songwriters in the circle who can write excellent works, and even some songs, from a professional point of view and artistic evaluation, are even higher than Li Kai's works.

But in terms of the number of works, the variety of genres covered, and the control of the pop music market, no one can compare with Li Kai.

To put it more bluntly, Li Kai's works firmly grasp the two words of pop, emphasizing the public and ignoring the self, which is the true essence of pop music.

Pop music is not a symphony, it is not for appreciation in spring and snow, but for people in Lower Liba to sing
Huo Shufen sighed: "If the previous transformational album had two of these three songs as the main title, there would be no need to switch back."

Murphy understood the meaning. At the peak of lyrical slow songs, she insisted on trying other genres, but she encountered "Waterloo". The mainstream view in the circle is that she went against the trend and did what she knew she couldn't do, but she, her team However, many high-level executives, including Nisso, believe that going against the trend is not the key, but the key lies in the song.

From lyrical and slow songs, it suddenly changed to ethnic style, and fast songs, which were too abrupt and did not meet the taste of fans at that time.

And Li Kai's three works are not only a different genre of lyrical slow songs, but also cover the elements of lyrical slow songs. In this way, it is much easier for fans to accept.

"Unfortunately, the company has become a frightened bird, only willing to release singles, and dare not try albums lightly."

Murphy sighed softly, and his tone was a bit embarrassing. The album was released in many countries in Asia, and there was a double gap in promotional expenses between singles and albums.

At the beginning, the transition album was released in eleven countries, and the total cost was over ten million. Counting the total domestic sales less than double platinum, the company lost several million.

It brought a big blow to the company's top management, not only in terms of economics, but also in confidence. You must know that Murphy was in the sky at the time, not only after the first day in China, but even the number one singer in China, and his popularity was even higher than the Four Heavenly Kings.

In the following four years, the company's singers released a total of 8 albums in many countries in Asia, and there was no album, all of which were singles.

As for the single released this time, because her new album made a breakthrough and won the default 5 gold, the guarantee fee given by the company is [-] million, and there is still room for improvement, but it is always limited. A far cry from the album's standards.

Huo Shufen hesitated for a moment, and said in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "If the three songs are the three main titles of the album, and the division is still 6 points, Mr. Huang may not be able to nod."

Mo Fei frowned, and just about to say something, he heard Li Kai's voice: "How about it, if you think it's okay, then choose one of the three?"

Mo Fei looked at him, his eyes flickered: "Any other works?"

Li Jing hummed, pondered for a while, and then said: "There are no duet songs among the top [-] songs on the Asia Billboard this year, but I checked, and there are both last year and the year before. If you don't mind, it can also be used as an option. "

Before Mo Fei expressed his opinion, Huo Shufen asked, "Singing a duet?"

"Ah."

"It's not a problem that the single is a duet, the key is the male singer"

"There are so many male singers under Nisso's banner, are you afraid you won't be able to find them?"

Li Kai said: "The main reason is that I have heard a song "Reminiscence" in one of Murphy's albums, which uses dolphin sounds. I have a duet work, and the female part includes the display of dolphin sounds."

When Jin Qiming heard it, his eyes suddenly burst into bright lights. The dolphin sound is Murphy's unique feature. Not to mention the domestic music scene, even the Asian music scene, there are only a handful of singers who can use dolphin sounds in their singing.

In addition, the difference between dolphin voice and real voice is too great, there are few songs suitable for playing, and more are only used as a vocal technique for appreciation.

If Li Kai can come up with a song that not only allows Murphy to show off the dolphin sound, but also has high quality, it is his wish.

"Li Kai, why don't you sing a demo first?"

"I can't sing to that effect by myself."

Li Kai looked up at Murphy: "What do you say?"

Murphy had made it clear to him that he was quite resistant to duet songs. So far, the only song was to save Li's face, so he agreed to sing "Meet Nine Eight" with Ning Lan.

"You write out the score, let me familiarize myself with it, and let's try together?"

"it is good."

Li Kai nodded and took out the score that he had prepared earlier. Murphy's talent in music was higher than Li Kai imagined. It only took 20 minutes to master the tune and roughly memorize the song.

Li Kai explained a few more points to her, and then the two walked to the audition area, standing on the left and right, with Murphy holding the microphone, and Li Kai still being in charge of the guitar accompaniment, so the microphone was still fixed on the stand.

Li Kai looked at Murphy, who nodded to show that he was ready. Li Kai was brewing a little, and then he fiddled with the arc. The accompaniment music came, and he sang first: "You replace, the blankness of my life a second ago, the question suddenly, I found the answer , understand without explanation.”

Murphy then sang: "Your smile is a secret signal, I can interpret it, how beautiful it is, the dream is not big, I want to stop forever, this second."

"Another Paradise", a duet song by Jane Zhang, the dolphin-sounding princess on Earth in her previous life, and Leehom Wang, a high-quality idol.

The song won the Top [-] Golden Melody Awards at the [-]th Global Chinese Songs Chart Awards Ceremony.

Murphy: "It was you who led me to find another paradise, far more beautiful than I imagined."

Li Kai: "In our arms, this paradise, every dream, has infinite happiness."

Together: "Believe that you are mine, another heaven, how pure the love I give, exists because of you, this heaven, love is the direct route"

The song is very romantic and artistic, expressing the affection between lovers.

In the chorus part, the two people's singing accommodates each other without losing their characteristics. Under the interpretation of the affectionate voice, the inseparable love moves the listeners.

In the interlude part of the song, Murphy played the dolphin sound and sang together with the distorted guitar. The audition effect was amazing.

In the first two sections of the singing, the climax part is mainly based on Murphy, supplemented by Li Kai, but the sound of Biao shows another kind of tension, like the reverberation of guzheng and electric guitar, which adds a sense of dislocation and freshness.

After the song was sung, Jin Qi's star-like eyes showed excitement, he slapped his hands a few times, nodded his head and said, "Okay, this duet is perfect for releasing a single."

To be honest, it was really hard to choose between the previous three songs, but after listening to this duet, Jin Qiming made a decision immediately.

It’s not that the first three songs are not as good as this one in terms of song quality, but that this duet contains more elements, and the audition effect is more moving. The most important thing is that Murphy’s dolphin sound can be displayed without showing off at all. The abruptness is extremely rare.

Based on his experience, when this song debuted in the Asian music scene, he dare not say how popular it is, but it will definitely be popular. Moreover, showing that the dolphin sound has a labeling effect on Murphy will attract her a large number of fans.

Huo Shufen also liked this song, but there was a trace of hesitation on her face, and she said tactfully: "Li Kai, your voice matches Murphy very well, and your singing effect is very good, but this is a single released by Nisuo after all. If you are not a singer under Nisso, if you want the company's approval, your work share may be reduced by a few points."

The cost of Murphy's single is guaranteed to be 500 million. The company's goal is to support Murphy. As a singer of a foreign company, Li Kai will sing a duet with Murphy. He will undoubtedly follow suit. If he wants to pay nothing, the company will definitely not agree.

Li Kai was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly waved his hands: "Sister Fen, you misunderstood me, I'm just a temporary guest singer to sing a demo, and Nisuo will find a male singer under his banner for the male vocal part."

Murphy said calmly: "I will convince the company that your work will be divided into 6 agreed-upon points, which will not change."

Li shook his head, looking for an excuse: "Let's forget it, the promotion of the single must be running around, and I will take on a lot of commercial performances, I'm afraid I don't have time."

Murphy looked at him and said, "Single promotion is mainly based on bulletin boards, TV stations and radio broadcasts in various countries, and live concerts are the Asia Baida Music Festival, as well as some live interviews. If it conflicts with your commercial performance time, You don't have to attend."

Li Kai smiled wryly, but still shook his head: "I may not have time to go to the Asia Baida Music Festival."

Murphy frowned slightly: "Then you still ask me for a ticket."

Li Kai apologized, "I asked for it for someone else."

Murphy remained silent for a while, then stared at him for a while, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and then said to Jin Qiming, "Mr. Jin, it's time for dinner after 5 o'clock, why don't you come here today and start recording tomorrow morning? "

Jin Qiming confirmed: "Then which song will you choose?"

"I'll think about it again, let's have a phone call tonight."

Hearing what Mo Fei said, Jin Qiming didn't force it, but agreed.

"Wait for me and think about what to have for dinner." Li Kai followed Murphy and the others back to the lounge. After Murphy explained, he turned around and was about to go to the dressing room inside.

Li opened his eyes and said, "No need, I didn't come here alone this time, but a friend. I'll ask him to have dinner with me."

Mo Fei stopped walking, turned around and said in an unquestionable tone: "Then call your friends, and we will eat together."

After all, he turned his head away.

Li Kai sat back again, delaying a meal again and again, that would be too much.

In just a quarter of an hour, Mo Fei came out of the dressing room with a different face, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, with many freckles on his face, and a conspicuous red mole at the corner of his mouth. When she came to Shenzhen alone, the effect of makeup was almost the same, and her appearance suddenly dropped to sixty. If Li Kai hadn't seen her like this, he would definitely not have recognized her.

Seeing this, Huo Shufen and Tian Cheng looked at each other knowingly, and the two of them did not go to dinner together because of work.

They knew that as long as Murphy put on make-up, he was ready to go out and not let them follow them. Besides, the person who had dinner with Murphy was Li Kai, and they would not be "light bulbs".

Li Kai followed Murphy all the way out of the company, and took the elevator directly to the underground garage. When Murphy pressed the sensor key in his hand, the lights of a sports car in the parking space not far away turned on.

The Peugeot of the sports car is relatively complicated, and Li Kai doesn't recognize it, but judging from the appearance of the sports car, it is quite similar to the Porsche 911 from the previous earth.

"Do you drive?" Mo Fei handed over the car keys with his backhand, and Li Kai waved his hand with a wry smile: "I don't have a driver's license."

Murphy didn't talk nonsense, nodded silently, and then got into the driver's seat, while Li Kai got into the co-pilot.

Although Li Kai is very rich now, with an eight-figure deposit in his bank card alone, this is the first time he has ridden such a luxury car in his past and present lives.

He didn't hide his inner curiosity, he fumbled here and there, and from time to time he let out admiration sounds, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

Murphy started the car, drove out of the underground garage and turned onto the road, before saying, "You like this car, I'll give you one."

Mo Fei said this casually, obviously speaking very naturally, but it choked Li: "I don't even know how to drive, wouldn't it be a waste to give me the car."

"Then take some time to study."

Murphy skillfully controlled the steering wheel, looked ahead, and said in his mouth: "I like the song "Another Paradise" very much. Your voice and mine match very well. Why did you refuse?"

Li Kai was a little helpless: "I didn't say that, my time is full."

"That's not a reason."

Mo Fei interrupted directly: "If this song is written for He Jingyun, and she asks you to sing a duet with her, will you refuse?"

Li Kai subconsciously wanted to give an affirmative answer, but the words stopped when he was on the verge of speaking. At the Beijing TV New Year's Eve party, he would sing a duet with He Jingyun on the same stage. Lie, it's kind of like that.
Without waiting for Li Kai's answer for a long time, Murphy said again: "Is it because I publicly said that I like you on the show, which then caused a scandal between you and me, which makes you want to avoid taboo?"

Li Kai groaned, bitter in his heart, he wanted to avoid this topic, just like the meeting with Ning Lan a few days ago, no one mentioned it in a tacit understanding.

But Murphy is Murphy, sharp and straightforward, as if he doesn't know what embarrassment is?
"Squeak." A red light came on ahead, and Murphy changed the brakes all at once, and the front of the car stopped half a meter before the crosswalk. She turned her head to look at Li Kai, and said with a blank expression, "I told you, since I debuted, I have never There has never been a duet song, only you can make me an exception, no matter how much I like the song "Another Paradise", if you insist on refusing to sing a duet with me, I will give up."

Li opened his mouth. Before he could say anything, Mo Fei stared at Li and said, "I want to ask you a question right now. Am I not even a friend in your heart?"
