Entertaining Children

  Chapter 943 Return to the album title song

  After Xiao Yao closed the live broadcast, he bid farewell to the girls from Gstar, and went to the recording studio they had just seen with Hong Xiuyan.

  On the way to the recording studio, Xiao Yao sent another message to Pei Minyi, explaining the task to her. When he was fine before, Xiao Yao let Pei Minyi move around freely. Now that he has to do something, Pei Minyi naturally has to help him.

  After Xiao Yao and others came to make a fuss, the five girls of Gstar didn't want to continue dancing. They could have gone to the recording studio with Xiao Yao and Hong Xiuyan, but they were afraid that Xiao Yao would not be disturbed when writing songs, so they just stayed in the practice room for another 15 minutes before packing up their things and heading to Xiao. He left for the No. 3 recording studio.

  When five girls knocked on the door and entered the control room of No. 3 recording studio, they found that not only Xiao Yao and Hong Xiuyan were there, but also a sound engineer in the company. Although the sound engineer seemed to be sitting idle, the five people still bowed to the sound engineer very politely.

Seeing the five girls coming in, Xiao Yao didn’t make any politeness with them. He directly picked up the two pieces of paper on the console and handed it to the captain Yuni: “This is the lyrics and music score of the new song. I have all the chorus, solo, and rap parts. It’s clearly marked, so you can take a look and get familiar with it. Come to the studio to record at three o'clock in the afternoon."

   "Okay, got it!" Yuni bowed as he reached out and took the lyrics and music score.

"I don't know much about each of you's division of labor in singing. You can divide the singing paragraphs by yourself." Xiao Yao continued, "Before recording in the afternoon, I will audition. Your five-person team should Is there only one rap in charge? So I shouldn't change the rap part, but for the solo part, I may make some adjustments, but I will also refer to the situation of the solo passages you assign yourself."

   "I see, we will assign solo passages in advance, thank you teacher!" Yuni bowed again.

"Okay," Xiao Yao waved his hand, "I know that bowing is your etiquette, but I am from Huaxia. You bow so much when you are so motionless. I'm not used to it. Just feel free these days. Don't be so polite. Also, I’m not accustomed to calling me a teacher, so you can call me more freely."

   "You are not called a teacher? Then can we call you oppa?" The youngest Huizhen asked when she looked at Xiao Yao.

   "No one can bark except you." Hong Xiuyan interjected with a smile, "Xiao Yao is not yet 22 years old. Except for you, everyone in your team is older than him!"

   "Is Xiao Yao xi so young? I can't tell at all!" The girl named Liu Xiyan in the team was surprised.

   "You mean I look very young?" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly and touched his face.

   "Ah! No, I'm sorry!" Liu Xiyan hurriedly bowed and apologized, "I just saw you talking to the president just now. It's hard to imagine that you are less than 22 years old!"

"Okay, just kidding, don't worry too much!" Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hand, and pointed his finger at the two pieces of paper that Yuni was holding. "The lyrics and music scores are only written in this one. If you want to read them separately If you do, go copy it yourself. I don’t need to worry about this kind of thing, right? Remember to come to the studio to audition at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. You can arrange the rest of the time by yourself!"

   "Then let's say goodbye. It's hard work!" Yuni took the lead.

   "Thank you!" Others also said.

   Xiao Yao smiled and waved, and the five girls turned and left.

  On the way out, the youngest Hye-jin couldn't help but leaned her head and looked at the lyrics and music in Yuni's hands.

  "The song written by Xiaoyao Oppa is called "Expectation"?" The youngest Huizhen smiled back, "So when I asked you the title of the song, you already told us, I thought you were selling it on purpose!"

   "Uh~" Xiao Yao couldn't help laughing at what Huizhen said. He hadn't decided what song to write just now, so he was really selling ties. But Xiao Yao didn't explain, just smiled and waved.

   Xiao Yao dared to agree to write a song for this girl group because he still remembers several popular songs and dances of the Korean girl group in his previous life. Among the few songs that Xiao Yao remembered from the previous life of the Korean girl group, the most popular and successful is the previous girl’s song "Gee", which won nine consecutive championships at KBS Music Bank in 2009 and the first in the first half of the year, but Xiao Yao didn't choose this "Divine Comedy" from a young age, but chose "Expectation" by Girl\'sDay of the previous life.

The reason for choosing this song is that Xiao Yao saw that President Li set the release date of the new song on Thursday. He didn't seem to require his song to help Gstar win one place, and he didn't want to easily put this "divine song". Take it out, another aspect is that, after all, he wrote the song because of the dispute between himself and the choreographer. He also wanted to choose a song that was more distinctive in dance. Although the dance of "Gee" in the previous life has been widely spread, in Xiao Yao's view, it is not as distinctive as the dance of "Expectation" called "Strap Dance".

  After the girls left, Xiao Yao started to make the soundtrack. That song was a song from a previous life that Xiao Yao remembered in his mind. The lyrics, music, and music were all ready-made, and it was very smooth to make.

  Although President Li of KM Entertainment Company sent a sound engineer to Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao did not ask that sound engineer to help. It is extremely rare for a person to be both a musician and a recording engineer in a recording studio. The KM recording engineer saw that Xiao Yao really did the soundtrack of the entire song by himself, and he was surprised.

  Hong Xiuyan collaborated with Xiao Yao on a Chinese chorus song "Little Lucky", which was also recorded by Xiao Yao as a sound engineer. Although the soundtrack for that song was prepared in advance when Hong Xiuyan went to record the song, Hong Xiuyan did not see the process of making Xiao Yao's soundtrack, but the song was a chorus of the two, and Xiao Yao did not record it in advance. The part I sang was recorded with Hong Soo Yeon. Hong Xiuyan has seen Xiao Yao both a singer and a sound engineer when recording songs. This shocking feeling is much smaller than that of KM's sound engineer.

  However, Hong Xiuyan, like the KM recording engineer, stayed in the studio to watch Xiao Yao record the soundtrack, and did not leave.

After the KM sound engineer entered the recording studio, Xiao Yao only greeted him when he came in, and then let him sit and watch. Not only did he not ask him to help when recording the soundtrack, but he also had nothing to do with him. communicate with.

  In addition to the greetings when they met, Xiao Yao spoke to the recording engineer the only time he took the initiative, not to ask about recording matters, but to ask at lunch time whether there were any rules in the recording studio that are not allowed to eat and drink. Xiao Yao was in the process of scoring the music, so he didn't want to waste time running out to eat. He wanted to buy it and eat it in the studio.

  His own recording studio has no rules forbidden to eat and drink in it. On the contrary, he often prepares something to eat and drink while working in the studio to replenish his strength and energy at any time. However, the absence of this rule in his recording studio does not mean that other people's recording studios do not have this rule. Some recording studios clearly stipulate that no one is allowed to eat or drink in the control room and recording room. In his impression, the Korean entertainment company has strict rules, so he thought it would be better to ask first.

  The atmosphere in KM Entertainment is more serious. It is true that no one eats and drinks in the studio while recording, but to be honest, there is no such a clear stipulation in the company. The sound engineer thought for a while, and told Xiao Yao truthfully.

   When Xiao Yao heard that there was no explicit stipulation, he considered that there was no such rule. He exchanged songs for the right to use the recording studio, but he didn't ask others to take care of the meals, so he immediately called and asked Pei Minyi to bring him food. Seeing that Xiao Yao was going to have lunch in the recording studio, Hong Xiuyan didn't plan to go out to eat. She came with her assistant today, so she stopped Xiao Yao and asked her assistant to go outside to buy lunch for the two of them.

  Xiao Yao doesn’t pay much attention to what he eats, so he can deal with ordinary bento. And while eating, he was wearing headphones on his head, and he finished lunch while listening to the soundtrack made in the morning.

  The process of recording the soundtrack was smoother than expected. The addition of the morning meal saved some time than expected. Xiao Yao finished the soundtrack for "Expectation" by less than three o'clock in the afternoon.

   Xiao Yao didn't leave the contact information of the girls, and he didn't bother to ask someone to ask. After preparing the soundtrack in advance, Xiao Yao did not notify several girls to record in advance. After listening to the soundtrack to Hong Xiuyan and the recording engineer, she leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest.

  At three o'clock in the afternoon, five girls knocked on the door of the recording studio on time.

  Xiao Yao saw them coming, and he began to work again.

  The five girls are artists who have already made their debut. Their professional quality is not bad, and it has been several hours since they got the lyrics and music scores, so Xiao Yao directly let the five girls enter the recording room to clear the passages they assigned in the song to audition.

  After the audition, Xiao Yao did not change the rap part as mentioned earlier, but made some minor adjustments to the distribution of the singing part.

  After assigning the paragraphs that everyone is responsible for, Xiao Yao listened to the five girls several times with the soundtrack, let them get familiar with and feel it, and then began to record the singing of the girls.

Although it is the first time for the five girls to cooperate with Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao is fluent in Korean and has no obstacles in communication. He is not too young and does not seem so scary. The most important thing is to read the lyrics and music that Xiao Yao gave them. After listening to the soundtrack made by Xiao Yao, I sincerely admire his talent, so the recording process is also very cooperative.

  However, the time spent on recording is not short. The main reason is that Xiao Yao looks kind, but the requirements are very strict. Not only the pronunciation, rhythm and even the emotional aspects of singing are very delicate, but they also found that Xiao Yao's ears are very powerful. It seems that any small mistake has not escaped his attention, and he will stop and start again.

  It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that Xiao Yao finished recording the song. After the recording was over, Xiao Yao asked Hong Xiuyan for President Li's email address, and sent the recorded sound source files to President Li. He also copied several copies of the song and the accompaniment to several girls so that they could continue to practice.

Although it is said that whether or not the song is used can only be decided after being reviewed by President Li and others, but Xiao Yao and several girls believe that this song will definitely be selected by President Li, and at most, will it replace the original title. The song is just the title song of the comeback album. But even if it is not replaced with the title song of this return to the stage, this song will still have opportunities for commercial performance in the future. There is always no harm in practicing more.

  After finishing this, Xiao Yao’s work for this day is all over. After saying goodbye to the five girls and the recording engineer, Hong Xiuyan sent Xiao Yao back to the hotel where she lived.

  Although Hong Xiuyan said that she was relatively free during this period, Xiao Yao was too embarrassed to let Hong Xiuyan pick him up every day. KM Entertainment's headquarters had already been there once, and they had business contacts with them, so Xiao Yao did not ask Hong Xiuyan to pick him up at the hotel the next morning, instead he took Pei Minyi to KM's headquarters.

  Because I talked to President Li about writing songs yesterday, after arriving at the KM headquarters, Xiao Yao went directly to the front desk and asked to see the President. The two receptionists at KM headquarters saw Xiao Yao come to the company with Hong Xiuyan yesterday. Later, President Li also explained to them about Xiao Yao, so after hearing Xiao Yao’s intentions, they immediately called and contacted the company’s senior management. .

  Not long after, a middle-aged man came to the reception lobby to greet Xiao Yao, but this person was not the President Li who had met yesterday. Xiao Yao thought that the visitor was someone like President Li's assistant, but he did not expect that he introduced himself as Gstar's agent.

  It turns out that after President Li received the audio file from Xiao Yao last night, he not only listened to it himself, but also forwarded it to several persons in charge of the company’s music department. After listening to the opinions of several people in charge of the music department over the phone, President Li has decided to buy the copyright of this song and replace the original title song as the title song of Gstar's comeback album. He also notified relevant personnel in the company and Gstar. Broker.

  At this time, President Li has not come to the company, so there is no need for Xiao Yao to wait in the office of the President. In addition to writing the song, Xiao Yao also agreed to choreograph a matching dance for this song, so Gstar's agent came forward to receive him, and directly led Xiao Yao to the practice room to choreograph the five girls.

   After Xiao Yao listened to the Gstar agent who claimed to be Pei Xiangjun explained the reason, he had no objection to this arrangement, so he took Pei Minyi and followed him to Gstar's practice room.

  In the practice room, five girls have arrived. Because I knew I was going to learn to dance today, I was doing some stretching exercises, moving my body to make preparations. After seeing Xiao Yao coming in, he immediately greeted him.

"one two Three!"

  "Hello Xiao Yaoxi, thank you for your hard work!"

  Even though Xiao Yao said yesterday that he was not used to bowing, but the agent was by the side. The five girls did not dare to be presumptuous. They lined up and bowed to Xiao Yao politely.

   "Hello!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded in return.

Xiao Yao saw that the girls were more cautious than when they were in the recording studio yesterday, and turned to Pei Xiangjun next to him, "Mr. Pei, you don't need to be watching when you practice dancing? If you have other things, Please go ahead!"

  Before, when these girls practiced, Pei Xiangjun, the agent, didn’t need to be there to watch. Today, it was only the president who ordered him to receive Xiao Yao, and he brought Xiao Yao to the practice room. At this moment, he heard that Xiao Yao's words meant to invite him to leave, and he politely left.

  Xiao Yao noticed that the expressions of several girls were obviously relaxed after the agent left, and they also smiled slightly.

   "This is my assistant Pei Minyi!" Xiao Yao introduced Pei Minyi beside him to several girls.

   "Hello, we are Gstar!" The five girls greeted Pei Minyi again with a much more casual attitude.

   "Hello!" Pei Minyi replied with a smile. Pei Minyi doesn't speak Korean, but at least the hello saying hello can still be said.

   "Xiao Yao oppa's assistant is very beautiful, and very good at dressing up!" The youngest Huizhen looked at Pei Minyi and said.

  Pei Minyi stands behind Xiao Yao carrying a big paper bag, she looks like an assistant in her position, but her dress is very fashionable, and she doesn't feel like an assistant.

"Of course," Xiao Yao smiled. "She is not only my assistant, but also my makeup artist. In addition, she is also an excellent stylist. If President Li agrees, I will ask her to design the next three games for you. Costume modeling for the stage performance."

   "Huh? Why didn't you design it yourself this time?" A smiling voice came from the gate of the practice room.

  Everyone looked back and found that Hong Xiuyan had come in.

   "Miss Xiuyan!" Pei Minyi greeted her actively. She and Hong Xiuyan have met many times, and they are already familiar with each other, and they know that she understands Chinese.

  Similarly, Hong Xiuyan also knows Pei Minyi better. After greeting everyone, Hong Xiuyan said to the five girls: "Miss Pei is indeed an excellent stylist in China. If she came to design the costumes and styles for you, it would be very beautiful!"

   "But I listen to O'Neill, it seems that Xiaoyao Oppa can design costumes himself?" Maknai Huizhen said.

   "Yes," Hong Xiuyan nodded with a smile, "When I participated in China's "Singer", it was the costume he designed for me."

   "Hey~ It seems that we are still not as important as O'Neill in Xiaoyao's Oppa's heart!" Huizhen sighed deliberately.

"Yeah, I'm going to attend the opening ceremony of the film festival this afternoon, and I will record my performance song tomorrow. Where can I have so much time?" Although these girls really can't compare with Hong Xiuyan in Xiao Yao's heart, look With the girl's cute look, Xiao Yao still smiled and gave an explanation.
