"Brother Kan, Zhao Yu called me and wants to have a chat with you."
Just after returning to Chengdu and getting off the plane, Jiang Kan received a call from Zhang Lingling.
"Oh? Queen Zhao? What would she want to talk to me about?"
With a confused look on his face, he gave up his plan to go home and rest directly, and instead hurried to the company to meet Zhang Lingling.
In the conference room, the two of them held a cup of coffee each and talked about this topic.
"She wants to get the license to use one of your songs, preferably a new song that hasn't been released yet. She said she can pay a lot of money to buy it."
After revealing what the other party meant, Zhang Lingling was also in a daze.
Since when did the middle-aged man in front of me become so popular?
In the last competition, all four singers who sang his songs, including himself, won the top four. This is really an achievement that is difficult for anyone to achieve.
The key is that he sings so well and is so handsome...
Zhang Lingling tried her best to restrain herself from having twinkling stars in her eyes, and forced herself to drink coffee calmly while occasionally glancing at the other person who was deep in thought.
In fact, Jiang Kan is not considering whether to refuse. Zhao Yu has brought him a lot of help. In the future, if his stardom can be supported by a diva-level eldest sister, it will definitely develop more smoothly.
In addition, the other party is Xiao Feiyan's aunt, so although it is done, it is almost the same as kissing.
Therefore, he thought he could give her one song.
However, he didn't have much inventory on hand, just three songs: "Big Fish", "Dala Benba" and "Above the Moon".
Oh, by the way, there is also an S-level song that the system solemnly handed over to me, "Nocturne".
"Big Fish" is what he plans to sing in the next issue, while "Nocturne" is planned to be used as the main song in the last issue, which is the eighth issue. These two songs cannot be given to anyone.
So, "Dala Benba"?
This song has a strong electronic style, and it also leans towards the funny style that young people like. Would it be appropriate if it was sung by Zhao Tianlai, who is usually very calm and majestic in the public's established perception?
"The other songs are not good, so there is only "Above the Moon"..."
Jiang Kan smashed his mouth and said to himself.
"But this song is a song that requires a male and a female to sing duet. It's just Zhao Tianhou. Can the RA part be sung by herself?"
Soon, he thought about what was wrong with this song. The demonstration song given to him by the system was a duet between a man and a woman. The woman's voice was rough and majestic, while the man's voice was steady and mature. The two of them cooperated so harmoniously with each other that they seemed to be singing. It's the same as if one person is singing, it must be a combination that the partners have been working with for many years!
So, if she is asked to sing this song, who will be her partner?
Moreover, will a powerful program like "Good Singer" allow people to sing and assist in singing? Will Director Yihuang's bitchy character directly give you a look and let you go back and slowly understand it?
So, he told Zhang Lingling these concerns.
"A duet song between a man and a woman?"
Xiao Zhang was shocked when he heard it. There has never been such a precedent in "Good Singer". It's not that the participating singers come to assist in singing, which violates their principle of selecting singers. Whose does it belong to? ….
The most important thing is, is it fair to the other participating singers?
"I guess not~"
Zhang Lingling shook her head and expressed her disapproval.
Because even if the program team made an exception and allowed Zhao Tianhou to find a backup singer, who is Zhao Yu? A arrogant and arrogant person with a nose that reaches to the sky would allow himself to rely on the power of others to gain Your own achievement?
"Then, no matter what, let's talk to her first. If I want to sing her a song, this is the only one I can sing."
Jiang Kan spread his hands and said that this is all he has, and the system does not offer the option to purchase songs.
The business can only be obtained through tasks. What can he do?
I hope that the system will be able to activate this convenient function in the future.
So, Zhang Lingling dialed Zhao Yu's phone number, and after politely greetings for a while, she talked about the situation.
"Oh? This is really interesting... Well, I can't explain it clearly on the phone. I have some things to do in Yanjing right now. I'll come over to your place tomorrow morning. Is that convenient?"
As expected, she is a resolute and strong woman, she will do whatever she says she wants to do immediately. For the sake of a song, she doesn’t know the specific content, but she only knows that it is because of Jiang Kan’s hand, so she directly beat him over to talk face to face.
With such strong execution ability, it’s no wonder that he can achieve such great success in the music world.
"Ah this..."
Zhang Lingling glanced at Jiang Kan and found that he was nodding slightly to her.
So he said cheerfully:
"Okay, then I'll meet you at our place tomorrow morning."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lingling wiped the non-existent cold sweat on her forehead with her hand and shook it off, making a sound of "iu", as if a burden had been lifted.
She naturally understands how much benefit her artist will get in the future if she establishes a good relationship with Zhao Yu. After all, it is difficult for a singer to grow up solely on his own personal struggle. He still needs the support of noble people to soar to the sky.
Although Jiang Kan seems to be about to take off now, his first few songs are very popular on the Internet, and several songs have been downloaded almost 2 million times. If this continues, he won’t have to wait until next year. He may have the chance to become a first-line singer!
With her mind happily imagining Jiang Kan's bright future, Zhang Lingling put her phone on the table, looked at Jiang Kan who was also deep in thought, and secretly admired his handsome face.
…
Early the next morning, when Jiang Kan arrived at the company at 9 o'clock, Zhao Yu was already waiting in the conference room with her assistant Xiaoyun.
Judging from the way they were in a hurry, they must have gotten up early in the morning and traveled such a long way here. Jiang Kan once again praised the other party's professional attitude and resolute character.
"So, this song itself is meant for men and women to sing duet?"
Zhao Yu sat at the table in the conference room, tapping his fingers back and forth on his other arm, thinking about this problem quickly.
"Yes, I only have this one song that I can sing out at this time. I want to use the other two songs myself, and one is an electronic style song similar to "Ordinary D". I'm not sure if you Willing to use...”….
Facing the opponent he had dealt with many times, Jiang Kan didn't feel as reserved as others did when facing the queen.
He stated the current situation straightforwardly and then gave the other party the choice.
"In this case...can I listen to the song you mentioned called "Above the Moon" before making any plans?"
Zhao Yu thought for a while, clenched his slender hands into fists, and quickly made a decision.
"If it were anyone else, I might refuse, but if it were you, Teacher Zhao..."
Jiang Kan spread his hands in agreement and made a very Western-style shrug. Then he opened the local song playback software that he had saved on his mobile phone before and handed it to Zhao Yu.
Her assistant Xiaoyun cleverly took out a pair of wired headphones from the large bag she was carrying and handed them to her boss.
"What style of work will it be?"
While Zhao Yu was thinking about it, he connected the earphone head to Jiang Kan's cell phone. He calmed down and prepared himself mentally, and then pressed the play button.
Suddenly, a desolate and atmospheric melody suddenly sounded in her ears, as if the ancient bloodline was calling her, making her involuntarily have a strong curiosity and yearning for this song that she had not yet heard the lyrics of!
"I'm looking up, above the moon,
How many dreams are flying freely.
Yesterday was forgotten, the sadness dried up,
I want to meet you again on that vast road.
Life has been pulled, the tide ebbs and flows.
The distance with you is heaven. "
When the female voice in the demo song sounded, Zhao Yu's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at the lyrics displayed on his phone with bright eyes.
This extremely rough and joyful national style made her mind feel as if thousands of horses were galloping, as if she were on the vast prairie, overlooking the white clouds illuminated by the moonlight. Sheep grazing on the sea of grass.
The strong local style and agricultural heavy metal feeling constantly stimulated Zhao Yu's brain, making her blood flow speed up, and her mood couldn't help but become excited with the ups and downs of the song. She tapped the beat on her feet and kept shaking her head. Click a little.
Jiang Kan saw the other party's immersed state and knew that she had listened.
His reaction at the time was even more exaggerated than hers, and he started twisting around in the living room of his house without any order.
The rhythm of this song is even more ridiculously strong compared to other ordinary songs, as if it was born to make people dance to it.
The singing woman's voice is also amazing, not the soft, weak and soft voice of ordinary women.
Instead, it is like a goshawk flying in the sky, emitting a heroic and straightforward voice, full of strength and tenacity, instilling strong confidence and strength in people.
Because Jiang Kan had lyrics on her phone, she could sing along.
Zhao Yu listened and began to hum softly. It was not until the first female part was finished that a rhythmic male voice entered her ears!
"I wait and I imagine,
My soul has long since escaped,
The sound of horse hooves rises and falls,….
Oyea, Oyea. "
The low-key, calm and powerful male voice ra is like the vast grassland itself in the lyrics, carrying the shepherds and sheep above.
It is full of rhythm, but it does not give people a noisy feeling. Instead, it is like the ballast stone of a large ship sailing on the sea, making the originally wild and uninhibited singing of the female voice disappear. It floats away like a kite, but the two complement each other and are full of tacit understanding.
"Tsk tsk..."
As Zhao Yu listened to the song, her head swayed involuntarily, and she praised her with praises. It seemed that the song had sung into her heart.
…
After a while, I have finished enjoying a song.
Zhao Yu closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, then reluctantly took off the earphones and returned the phone to Jiang Kan.
"Good song, I want this song. Is it feasible for 1.5 million?"
Zhao Yu waved his hand proudly.
Zhang Lingling and Jiang Kan looked at each other and were quite satisfied with the price.
"However, this song is sung by a man and a woman..."
Zhang Lingling kindly reminded me from the side.
"Well, there's no way around it. I can record the male voice as the accompaniment itself, so I don't need to find a resident singer."
"I can ask Teacher Zhao, who are you going to find to sing the male part?"
Seeing that the other party was so calm, Jiang Kan also knew that the other party must have some means and ways to get through the program team and get them to agree to her using the recorded male accompaniment.
But, who should I find to sing it so that I can achieve the sound like in the demo song?
If Zhao Yu wants to invite the "original singer" to help her record, he can't invite that oyea brother from the earth!
"Haha... isn't this candidate already available?"
Zhao Yu had long known that Jiang Kan would ask such a question, so he rested his hand on his chin and looked at him with bright eyes.
"What do you mean..."
Jiang Kan understood the other party's intention in an instant. He wanted to help her perform this rap singing!
"Isn't this... very in line with the rules? After all, I am also one of the contestants. Will it be against the rules if I sing for you?"
He had thought about this problem before, but after all, Director Huang put too much mental pressure on him, and he didn't think this person would agree to such a whimsical approach.
"Haha, what's wrong with this? He already agreed to your ridiculous method of participating in the competition, so he can't allow me to have vocal accompaniment in the song I'm about to sing?"
Zhang Lingling gently rubbed the fingers of her right hand with her left hand, lowered her head slightly, and smiled confidently.
"It's normal for a song to have vocal accompaniment. Didn't you also have a male accompaniment in "Waiting Once in a Thousand Years" that you wrote?"
"But...it was just some male voices humming, and only the last line was a male and female chorus..."
"Ha, don't worry about this. Leave this song to me, and I will convince Director Huang... By the way, I won't let you sing along for me for free. How about I add another 1 million?"
Hearing this, Zhang Lingling's eyes suddenly lit up!
And Jiang Kan also opened his mouth in surprise. This Queen Zhao is really particular about people. Will her backup singer be worth 1 million from now on?
He turned his head and looked at Zhang Lingling's expression, and the words "Hurry up and promise her" in the latter's eyes almost made him say it directly!
"But... I'm also one of the competing singers. If Director Huang knows it's my voice, will he rule us out?"
Jiang Kan is already very excited. One song can be sold for 2.5 million yuan in cash! That is also a very awesome existence!
What's more, I still have the identity of a composer. If this song becomes popular and the number of downloads soars, it will be counted in my fame. When the time comes, it will also be a big advantage for the composer department to increase the level!
"It's okay. I just don't tell him that it was you who sang it. You can lower your voice a little when you sing. Then our sound editor will edit it and no one will be able to tell that it was you who sang it!"
"But when you release a single in the future, will you write that the male vocal part is sung by our brother Kan?"
Zhang Lingling was already very moved, but she still upheld her responsibility as an agent and asked the last crucial question.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if I write your name or not."
Zhao Yu spread his hands indifferently.
"Then how can I explain it to the program team after I wrote my name?"
"I will release this single in a few months. It will not be available for download for the time being. By then, they can be upset as much as they like. It will be over anyway."
"Is this still possible?"
Jiang Kan blankly glanced back at Zhang Lingling, who was also shocked by Zhao Yu's skill. He then turned to look at Zhao Yu, who had an indifferent expression. Finally, he nodded mechanically and agreed to the deal. . .
