rebirth of change

Chen Kangjie stood in the recording studio, under the command of Jeff Casey, holding the microphone with his left hand, and sang with all his attention, while singing, he swung his right hand, a bit like those rap singers he saw in the video, actually Chen Kangjie didn't like this posture, it was purely natural and uncontrollable. 【 】

In this way, regardless of other people's feelings, Chen Kangjie felt that this was better, at least compared to the previous few times.It's just that there is still a certain distance from his own requirements.

"Long, you've made great progress. At your rate of improvement, I believe you can reach perfection with a few more repetitions." During the break, Safta Jaffery praised him.

When recording, you can't keep singing, it will hurt your voice very much, so you must take a break in the middle before starting.Not to mention the recording, even when the concert is held, you have to invite other people to be guests or interrupt the MV midway, or dance, music, etc. The purpose is to let the singer's physical strength and voice have a proper short rest, of course Yes, except lip-syncing.

"I also want to get it done quickly. Compared with Chinese songs, English songs are still more difficult," Chen Kangjie said in a down-to-earth manner.

"Chinese is your mother tongue, and you will have an advantage in terms of comprehension and proficiency in use, which is a matter of course," said Safta Jaffery.

"Everyone chooses easy before difficult, but I choose difficult before easy. It seems that it is not a wise choice!" Chen Kangjie said jokingly.

"This approach is very similar to our American way of thinking. Once the difficult part is solved, the rest will be easily solved. I guess this is why you can write such songs." Jeff Casey came from the side and interjected road.

What he said made Chen Kangjie a little ashamed. He plagiarized, not original, and Chen Kangjie's psychological quality is still good, "Do you know that the country we have studied the most is the United States. Everyone always wants to be in the United States. Find the reason why you can be a superpower for a long time, and do research on culture, history, politics, economy, military, and even psychological aspects.”

"I know that you are a hard-working and learning nation, but to be honest, long, the Orientals are a bit narcissistic."

"Casey, you're right, it's a big downside, we all like good news and don't like bad news, this seems to be in our blood to a certain extent, it's what we say 'announcement' Don’t report worries’, it’s like this from top to bottom. Everyone doesn’t like criticism, and to a certain extent, it will turn into a lack of critical spirit, which will affect our tolerance and innovation ability. Fortunately, I am not such a person, hehe, you guys If you find a problem, you can criticize casually, I can bear it." Chen Kangjie expressed his understanding and showed his open-mindedness.

"Long, maybe this is why you are so different from others. Anyway, I feel a little bit. If you say that he is not good or that is not good to the Chinese, he will be very upset. It was originally to help him correct his mistakes. But he will regard you as an enemy."

"Haha, that's because you don't know much about Chinese culture. A core of Chinese culture is 'moderation', which is to oppose both ends and take the middle line, just like when we are praised, we will say "Where, where, polite, polite, nonsensical." I like it" and so on, so sometimes even if it is a criticism, you have to be tactful. You can't be as direct as you Americans, it is unwelcome and rude. It’s easier to be accepted, that’s all.” At this time, Chen Kangjie’s tone was completely American.

"Haha, it's really interesting", Safta Jaffery shook his head and laughed.

"It's very interesting," Chen Kangjie shrugged.

"Long, you sing very well, but it's time for you to work."

"You are learning and using it flexibly, ok, I accept it, haha", Chen Kangjie raised his hand and said with a smile.

. . . . . .

After another two hours, Chen Kangjie finally finished recording the song "gangsta's paradise".He feels that even if recording songs is a technical job, it is also a laborious job.

In order to hurry up, Chen Kangjie started the recording of "waterfall" (waterfall).

This song was by ture, and later renamed tlc. The source of this name is a bit like she, which is composed of the first letters of the names of the three members. T-boz is from Iowa, left eye is from Philadelphia, and chilli is from Georgia.The song appeared on their second album "crazy sexy cool".

This song once won US top.1. The album "crazy sexy cool" not only entered the third place in the US album list, but was also selected as the best album of the year in 3 by US spin, British q, and melody maker magazines, and even won many awards. Awards, such as Grammy Best R&B Album, Billboard Music Award for Best Artist of the Year and 1995 other awards, and the history of "day", Chen Kangjie no longer considers singing with female voices. According to my true nature and understanding, at most it is enough to incorporate some femininity.

Of course, it is not without challenges. There is a long passage in this song. Chen Kangjie has to sing and read it by himself, and he needs to grasp the cohesion well.

After working until 08:30 in the evening, Chen Kangjie finished the song "waterfall" and returned to his villa in Repulse Bay for dinner.

"Sister Wanrong, how are you preparing for the concert in the red hall?", Chen Kangjie asked He Wanrong who had arrived before him when he entered the door.

"The specific time has not been set yet. I will start dancing tomorrow. To be honest, I'm a little nervous. It's the first time I hold a concert at the Hung Hom Stadium. In Hong Kong, it's a grand place." He Wanrong, who also looks quite tired Said apprehensively.

"Hehe, there won't be a very sexy dance, right? You have to hurry up, so maybe I can catch up with you for the first time before school starts." Chen Kangjie directly fell down on the sofa and teased with his body tilted .

"How? I don't know how to do those. It's normal jazz dance, pas de deux and some modern dance. If you return to the mainland in early September, you should have time. You don't know, I'm exhausted these days." He Wanrong, who was wearing loose home clothes, stretched cutely and sat opposite Chen Kangjie.

"My recording is probably more tiring than your concert preparation. A song has to be sung back and forth dozens of times."

"It's almost the same, but it's so good and fulfilling. Oh, by the way, come and be my guest singer."

"Okay, old lady, don't come here, you want me to be on stage? Don't even think about it, you can go to Beyond for this kind of thing, you can also ask Aaron Kwok to dance with you, but... that guy is a little short" Well, Chen Kangjie wouldn't even perform on stage right now. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but that he really didn't want to show his face so early, but he also gave a reasonable suggestion.

"Those companies have already made arrangements, and they will all show up. My time accounts for 70.00%, and they help me share 30.00%."

"That's right, you are the big sister of Feiyang Entertainment Company now, those younger brothers and sisters will certainly join us," Chen Kangjie teased.

"Are you making fun of me? Don't forget, you are now a member of Feiyang Entertainment, and your album is released worldwide. I have heard that you are guaranteed to win a Grammy next year. Wen Xuan said that your An album, next year you will win awards and you will be very soft, plus the movie "true lies", next year you will be very busy to receive awards." He Wanrong presented the facts and used her own way to fight against Chen Kangjie.

"I'm not interested in receiving awards," Chen Kangjie said very disdainfully.

That's right, Chen Kangjie didn't even go to receive the British Literature Award and the American Book Award, and Li Wendong completed the awards from the Ministry of Culture on his behalf. So far, he has never received any awards on the spot, except for a few years ago at The first prize of calligraphy awarded by Zhao Zhibang himself in the provincial capital.

Adding that "True Lies" won the award, I really don't know if the Oscars in Los Angeles next year will have such a great charm to attract him to go.

"Don't tell me, you won't go to the Grammy Awards, it's a grand ceremony in the music industry." He Wanrong really didn't believe that Chen Kangjie would do that.

"That's not necessarily true, you've been there, tell me is it fun?".

Chen Kangjie once helped He Wanrong write two English songs in her second album, one of which won her the Best New Artist Award in the World Music category in 1993, which was the first time someone in the Chinese music scene won such a title .This made He Wanrong excited for several days, and she also stepped onto the Grammy red carpet accompanied by Fan Wenxuan.

"Playing? Do you think it's playing? Wherever you go, there are big-name superstars from all over the world. I feel very pressured."

"Music is for playing. I can't take it as a career. I do everything I do now, including reading." Chen Kangjie crossed his legs and spoke plausibly, feeling that there is nothing worthy of his pursuit in the world.

Because the part he pursues in his heart cannot be told to others, even Ouyang Zhenhua doesn't know it, it is actually very painful if he has a secret but can't tell it.

"You guy, you are so unscrupulous, get up and eat," He Wanrong scolded Chen Kangjie coquettishly, seeing the servant over there coming out of the kitchen, knowing that dinner and supper are ready, she beckoned Chen Kangjie to get up .

"Go ahead. I'll be down in 10 minutes. I'll take a shower first and change out of my clothes." Chen Kangjie got up from the sofa and walked towards the second floor of the villa.

When Chen Kangjie changed into shorts and shorts and came down from upstairs, the food in the restaurant had already been set. He Wanrong didn't eat first, but waited for him to come and join us. ~
