China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 51 The one-in-a-million genius

Lin Xuan cleared his throat and sang:
"Let me take off your heart and try to melt it slowly to see if I can be flawless in your heart..."

Lin Xuan liked this song very much and sang very enthusiastically. His arms began to sway according to the rhythm.

Teacher Sun listened silently, with a serious expression.

A few minutes later, Lin Xuan asked anxiously: "Teacher, how are you doing?"

Teacher Sun smiled and said: "Not bad, I still have some foundation."

"Thank you."

Before he could be happy, Teacher Sun added: "But there is still a big gap between him and professional singers."

Lin Xuan: "..."

Can you finish it all at once?

"Improving singing skills requires accumulation. It cannot be learned in a day or two. How far do you want to learn?"

Teacher Sun is a professional in this business and has received many actors like Lin Xuan.

When they come to learn how to sing, they basically just learn a superficial skill, which is mainly to make it more gilded so that they can use it later in commercial performances.

Lin Xuan told the truth: "Teacher, there is a theme song in the TV series I am participating in that I like very much, but the crew is planning to find a professional singer. You understand what I mean..."

Teacher Sun nodded and smiled: "I understand. Although you have a good foundation, it is probably not easy to compete with professional singers, and you will have to endure a lot of hardships."

"Don't worry, teacher, I'm mentally prepared."

"As long as you have confidence, let's start the class, starting with the song "Norwegian Wood" you sang."

…………

There is still more than half a month before Lin Xuan's role is completed, which is enough time for him to complete a systematic course.

But singing skills, like martial arts, require a lot of offline practice.

So in order to successfully win this song, Lin Xuan would go to the teacher to make up lessons as long as there was nothing to play that day. After finishing the lessons, he would go home and practice by himself.

For this reason, she rejected Chen Hong's invitations several times, which made Dame Chen very depressed.

At the same time, he was also paying attention to the progress of the song. Not surprisingly, Wang Yuan's lyrics were taken by Fan Xiaotian.

According to him, the lyrics have been handed over to a professional team to compose, arrange, and record demos.

A few days later, Lin Xuan learned that the demo had been produced and that Producer Fan was looking for a suitable singer.

After receiving the news, Lin Xuan immediately took the initiative to find Fan Xiaotian.

"Producer Fan, I heard that the theme song has been completed and we are looking for a singer."

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Fan Xiaotian still didn't understand his purpose.

"I also learned to sing and want to try it."

"You can also sing?" Fan Xiaotian couldn't believe it.

Lin Xuan is handsome, has a good figure, is good in literary and martial arts, and is already considered an all-around player in the film and television industry.

Not satisfied even after all this, he actually still sings.

Lin Xuan said modestly: "Yes, when traveling in the world, there are many skills that are not overwhelming."

Fan Xiaotian was amused by his words and found the score of "Good Spring" from the drawer and handed it to him.

"Then you give it a try, but I'll say it first, you can't sing just by practicing a few songs in karaoke."

"I understand, I really learned it."

Lin Xuan took the score and sat on the chair to read it carefully, humming softly from time to time.

The lyrics and music are no different from the original version, so I pretended to spend 5 minutes memorizing them.

"Is that all right?"

Fan Xiaotian became more and more suspicious of him.

He has also seen professional singers record songs in the studio. Normally, it takes half a day to record a song quickly, and it is normal to record a song slowly for several days. After all, singing also depends on the state of the song.

5 minutes?
What a fool.

"Yeah, ready."

Lin Xuan did not argue, stood up, put down the music score and prepared to start.

Fan Xiaotian shook his head and played the accompaniment.

"Good spring, it's better to have a dream, the grass is fragrant in the dream..."

The original singer of this song, Wu Tong, has a background in folk music, and his voice is slightly hoarse.

Lin Xuan imitated Wu Tong's singing style and tried to restore the taste of the original version as much as possible.

Fan Xiaotian initially thought it was just a monkey show.

After hearing the first few sentences, his expression became relaxed.

I felt that this kid really had something to offer, so I started playing the beat with great interest.

As the climax of the song approaches, Lin Xuan still performs well.

Not only are there no wrong words or out-of-tune words, but they are also full of emotion and sonorous and powerful.Fan Xiaotian's expression gradually became surprised.

Lost your sight?

This guy really knows how to sing!
The song ended, and Fan Xiaotian was hesitating about how to speak.

Lin Xuan said: "This is just a way of singing, and there is also a lighter way. You can listen to it later as a producer."

"Yeah, okay." Fan Xiaotian agreed subconsciously.

Lin Xuan started over.

This time, his voice no longer pretended to be hoarse.

Instead, it becomes smooth and soft, and the intonation is full of vitality. It is a singing style that makes people feel happy after listening to it.

After listening to it this time, Fan Xiaotian was completely impressed by him.

Sure enough, there is no comparison between people. Lin Xuan is really a talent.

He also took the initiative to ask: "Is there any other version?"

Lin Xuan saw this and nodded quickly: "There is also an angry version."

Really!
Fan Xiaotian was already numb and nodded: "Okay, you try again."

The angry version is different from the previous two versions.

It is like a desperate person trying to escape from the predicament, screaming and shouting against the helpless life.

It's a bit like a rock version of "Good Spring Day".

After Lin Xuan finished singing, he took a breath and asked, "Producer, is this version like this?"

Fan Xiaotian applauded, thought for a moment and said, "I think the first version is better."

Lin Xuan's fist hardened instantly.

Party A, you're just entertaining me.

"Lin Xuan, I really underestimated you before. You are an all-round talent. I won't be surprised if you tell me one day that you can also dance."

"Producer Fan is overly praised, so this song..."

Hearing this, Fan Xiaotian looked hesitant and pondered in his heart.

Lin Xuan's singing skills are definitely up to par, and since he is a newcomer, the price of his singing will not be very expensive.

The characters in the play perform the singing, and it can also be used as a gimmick when promoting the release.

The only problem is that Lin Xuan plays the villain in the play, so how can he let the villain sing the theme song?

If you want to use it for publicity, it must be a decent protagonist. Unfortunately, Xu Zheng can't sing.

Fan Xiaotian hesitated for a long time, weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and finally made a decision:

"This song... I leave it to you to sing."

Although Lin Xuan is a villain, he looks very good in costume, and girls in middle and high school will definitely like it.

The audience this show targets is teenagers.

The handsome guy sings in costume and has a head start.

Lin Xuan was overjoyed and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Producer Fan."

"You're welcome. You have to work harder when the drama is being promoted."

"Don't worry, I'll be there when you call."

…………

Although he went through some twists and turns, he finally won the right to sing.

After finishing work that day, Lin Xuan drove to the company.

Singing the theme song requires more than just touching Fan Xiaotian's lips. He also has to sign a formal contract to clarify the responsibilities and obligations of both parties and the division of copyright.

"What? Fan Xiaotian wants you to sing the theme song?" Wang Jinhua looked surprised.

"Well, I just came back from the crew. Sister Hua took the time to finalize the contract."

Wang Jinhua was stunned for a long time and said:

"The teacher I recommended is so great. I remember you only studied for half a month."

Lin Xuan couldn't tell the truth and could only give the credit to Teacher Sun:

"The teacher is indeed very capable and responsible, but I have singing skills, and this song is relatively simple."

Wang Jinhua nodded, agreeing with this statement.

If a newcomer who really knows nothing can sing the theme song of a TV series after only half a month of practice, then he is definitely a unique singing prodigy.

"It's a good thing to be able to sing. You can use it when you go out for commercial performances, and now celebrities like to release albums. When you become popular in the future, I will get you one too."

"Then let me thank Sister Hua first."
