Chapter 315 Red High Heels (for Subscription)
The new song that Liao Yuan passed on to Ai Shi is called "Break Up With Kindness", which was considered an overnight hit in the previous life, but like "Zhong Wuyan", it was not really popular all over the country because of its small audience.

But a good song can stand the test of time. Therefore, even after more than ten years after the song was created, "Break Up With Good Hearts" is still one of the favorite Cantonese songs of many young people of the new generation.

Most importantly, this song is a rare duet in Mandarin and Cantonese, which is extremely fresh and can cover all Chinese regions.

In addition, compared to "Zhong Wuyan", "Break Up with Kindness" has won more awards, and won various Golden Melody Awards. It can be regarded as one of the most popular songs of the era.

"Are you surprised that you can't speak
yes i mean do you want to break up

Once tamed by you, like a sheep

He Jie will bite you back, you know? "

When Ai Shi was reading the lyrics, she unconsciously made up a lot of melodies, so she tried to sing them out, and the result surprised everyone, even Liao Yuan couldn't help being surprised, because from some tunes, Ai Shi The hum of the poem is somewhat similar to the original song.

"This song is a Cantonese duet."

Liao Yuan explained: "I have marked it above - what do you think of the lyrics?"

Ai Shi came back to her senses, looked at the lyrics in the phone, and said with a smile: "It's very fun, every sentence of the woman wants to leave, and every sentence of the man keeps, I am afraid that only the person involved will know who is right and who is wrong." .”

Everyone looked at Liao Yuan.

Liao Yuan smiled.

Only the devil knows, he is not the person involved.

Soon, Ai Shi put down the phone with emotion: "Mr. Liao has a lot of emotional experience. If not, how could he write songs like "Zhong Wuyan" and "Break Up With Kindness". It seems that great songwriters always It’s going to be some emotional ordeal.”

Liao Yuan felt that there was something in Ai Shi's words, but he felt that he might have misunderstood it, and pondered: "Is Sister Ai still satisfied with these two songs?"

"satisfy."

"Do you need to change it?"

"No need—just for the lyrics."

Liao Yuan laughed, and immediately switched between the two languages ​​by himself, and sang the first half of "Break Up With Kindness".

All eyes are shining.

Especially when switching to the Mandarin part, it was as if a fresh wind was blowing head-on, which made Ai Shi and others feel at ease.

"Maybe it's time to get distracted and stop talking
Should I be rewarded for being abandoned?

if i was a bad shepherd
Can I try again, give me a hug? "

……

The dinner started. Even though she is already a first-line traffic idol, Liao Meiyun still eats unscrupulously. Compared with Liao Yuan and Ai Shi who are polite and meet each other with knives and forks, Liao Meiyun is more willing to pick up foie gras with chopsticks.

She chewed one bite at a time, then followed Liao Yuan's example, shaking the red wine glass and taking a sip.

For a moment, the bitter taste of dry red covered her tongue, making her no longer want to touch it.

Most importantly, within a few seconds, her cheeks were pink, forcing her to stay away from the wine glass.

That night, Liao Yuan returned to the hotel and began to organize other songs according to Ai Shi's requirements and conditions.

The style of the album must be unified, and considering the audience, there must still be Mandarin songs in the album.

After all, compared with Cantonese audiences, the huge base of Mandarin audiences is the most important.

Liao Yuan sorted out the songs of the entire album in just two or three hours after screening the emotional pop songs.

This album has a total of twelve songs.

Among them, in addition to "Zhong Wuyan" and "Break Up with Kindness", there are also "Like You", "I Like You", "Angkor Wat", "Red High Heels", "Love Letter to Myself", "Next Standing Queen", "The Day I Walked on the Red Carpet".

Of course, blindly emotional songs are a bit boring. Considering this situation, Liao Yuan also wrote some dynamic dance songs, such as "It's Better to Dance", "Embrace", and "Huahua Universe".

There are a total of twelve songs, including lyrics and music. On the second day, Liao Yuan handed them all over to Ai Shi.

The latter was very touched when he saw these lyrics and scores. After thanking him again and again, in order to make the album more complete, Ai Shi invited Liao Yuan and his sister to Hong Kong to play. .

Liao Yuan didn't refuse. In the past two days, he was going to take Liao Meiyun for a stroll. Artists can't always devote themselves to work. Long-term work pressure will make the whole person depressed.

In his previous life, he had gone through too many similar mental journeys, so he had lingering fears.

With so many depression patients in the entertainment industry, it is not uncommon to hear news of their deaths. Money can never be earned, but life is only once.

Need to cherish.

Taking care of this emotion, Liao Yuan took Liao Meiyun to visit Hong Kong.

During the visit of the Liao brothers and sisters, He Lan and Ai Shi hurried back to the company, greeted all the sound engineers, and began to write lyrics and compose music in the recording studio.

"finally come!"

The whole company cheered.

Ai Shi's company is Bee Yellow Music, which is the largest independent music company in Hong Kong. It was founded in 2007. It was not well managed in the early days, but since 2012, Bee Yellow Music has changed its previous business philosophy and started to hold online events every year. singing competition.

The whole project has attracted many local and Southeast Asian young singers and singer-songwriters to participate, and the annual champion will also have the opportunity to sign with the company to become its singer.

In 2014, college student Ai Yunlin was encouraged by her friends to participate in this singing competition program. Because of her excellent voice and appearance, it caused a lot of discussion at the time. After winning the championship, she was immediately signed by Fenghuang Music. Her name is Ai Shi, and she has been on the rise since then, with many albums winning Golden Melody Awards.

Now, eight years have passed, although Ai Shi has already become popular all over the country, but because of the high similarity of previous works, the sales of new albums have gradually begun to decline.

The influence of this Hong Kong queen has also begun to be gradually eroded by emerging singers and rising stars.

But "Light Years Beyond", which turned out to be out of nowhere, made Ai Shi once again popular in both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The singing voice often appears in the streets and alleys, and has become the first Hong Kong singer whose work MV has surpassed one billion hits on Youtube.

For a time, Ai Shi was in the limelight, and there must be a place for her in various star-studded occasions.

It can be said that only with the interpretation of the song "Light Years Away", Ai Shi has returned to the top.

However, Ai Shi, who has experienced the trough, knows how to plan ahead. She knows that time is forgetful. Once this popular period passes, she may still disappear from the public again. Therefore, she and the entire company behind her, They are all waiting for the half-year appointment with Liao Yuan.

Now, half a year has passed.

Liao Yuan arrived as promised, and the songs of the new album appeared in front of everyone in just one night.

You know, Fenghuang Music Company is just an independent company. It faced bankruptcy several times at the beginning, and it was only by luck that it signed a queen like Ai Shi. Its background and resources are simply incomparable with a real big company.

Therefore, the entire company almost relies on Ai Shi to survive alone, and it is typical for one person to support the entire company.

Ai Shihong, they have food and bonuses.

Ai Shi is overwhelmed, and they may only face layoffs.

"Start work! Start work!"

The general manager Xu Shimeng shouted excitedly, and the whole company began to work nervously.

In the recording studio, more than a dozen sound engineers began to compare the scores and produce the tunes of songs such as "Break Up With Good Hearts".

But the music score only gives a rough scale, which can be played easily with guitars, pianos and other instruments, but if you want to make a finished product, you need to add and mix various auxiliary sounds in the future. Of course, Liao Yuan should personally give pointers on this aspect. Of course, A mature sound engineer will also add it according to the score.

It didn't take long for twelve song demos to be produced.

Two hours later, Ai Shi took the lyrics and began to sing tentatively according to the slow recording of the song.

She is used to memorizing the lyrics while singing, and when the melody floods into her mind, she can almost never forget the lyrics when she remembers the lyrics.

In the control room, general manager Xu Shimeng, manager He Lan and others are nervously waiting for the result of the first audition.

Although Liao Yuan is very talented, no one can guarantee what the song will look like when it finally appears in the ears of the audience before seeing the real finished product.

After all, even the most popular singers have their troughs, and this is especially true for creative talents. It is impossible for every shot to be a classic. They dare not look forward to a blockbuster like "Light Years Beyond", and only hope that the quality will remain at Liao Yuan's level. normal level.

Soon, the music started.

The singing flooded into everyone's ears.

"How to describe you best
What is special compared to you
strong feelings for you

but don't understand
Just a gut feeling—"

When Ashina's slightly lazy singing voice appeared in everyone's ears, with the soothing music, everyone felt their scalps go numb.

An electric current spreads through the whole body.

People froze.

Including He Lan, who had read the lyrics and music, everyone looked in disbelief at this moment.

Because He Lan was so surprised, his mouth opened wide...

Compared with "Zhong Wuyan" and "Break Up With Kindness", this song "Red High Heels" seems to be more exciting.

in the recording studio.

Ai Shi was also stunned, the singing in her ears made her mouth dry.

This was her first attempt at singing, so she sang more casually, but it was this casual singing that fed back to her ears, which turned out to be incomparably beautiful!
Lucky hit?

Ai Shi was ecstatic in her heart. Perhaps, this is the feeling Teacher Liao wanted when writing this song?
She suppressed the joy in her heart, and continued to sing with a casual voice...

"You are as comfortable as nestling in the quilt

But it's like the wind can't catch it
like perfume on the wrist
Like the red high heels that you can't put it down..."
