The first lyrics are played very low, allowing the audience's emotions to slowly flow out of their hearts and spread throughout their bodies.

The tuning teacher nodded regularly along with the accompaniment and sighed: "Miss Fang has the best singing temperament I have ever seen. She can perfectly integrate her temperament into her voice, and her emotional control is perfect."

Professional musicians attach great importance to the temperament when singing. They believe that full emotion is the basis of singing, but often the more basic things are, the more difficult and important they are to grasp.

Zhu Cheng crossed his arms over his chest, but his expression was solemn.

He has confidence in Fang Nianwei's singing skills. Even humming the tune sounds good without lyrics.

To put it bluntly, even if there are some flaws, how can such a good recording studio record an unpleasant song?

The problem is still the lyrics.

Capital Studios rejected the draft because the lyrics were not good.

Just humming without lyrics is nice, but adding lyrics with unclear meaning and loaded with rhetoric can even have the opposite effect. Isn't this the case with all kinds of songs that are slobbery and plagiarized?

Zhu Cheng had a lot of contacts when he was studying abroad. Even after returning to China for more than ten years, he still kept in touch and was considered a cross-border friend.

Through frequent chats, Zhu Cheng learned that Qin Wuxiang's works are highly praised by the upper class overseas. This mysterious oriental science fiction novelist is famous overseas, especially "Water Drops", which is a household name.

Therefore, thanks to the support of overseas friends, Zhu Cheng has also read several of Qin Wuxiang's works, and "Spherical Cloud" is one of them.

He can tell whether the lyrics are good or bad.

When recording songs, people in the mixing room can communicate. The two areas are completely soundproofed, which does not affect the recording effect.

Unless the live broadcast tuning and sound engineer is busy and sweating profusely, this kind of recording tuning is very easy for practitioners of their level, not to mention Fang Nianwei's excellent pitch and almost no operation required.

But apart from the tuner's initial words, as Wang Anruo sang, the tuning room became silent.

Everyone was immersed in this lark-like voice.

The song is melodious and melodious, passionate when it should be passionate, and lyrical when it should be lyrical. It perfectly demonstrates the ups and downs of the protagonist's life in "Spherical Cloud" and also sings the heroine's almost extreme love for lethal weapons.

After singing the song, Wang Anruo was already drinking water, and everyone in the tuning room suddenly came to their senses.

"so perfect!"

The tuner praised loudly, even a little excited.

He doesn't understand science fiction and doesn't know how the lyrics are written. He only knows that listening to Wang Anruo sing is simply a pleasure.

Just like when a cook encounters a fine delicacy, the long-lost love for his work surges again!

"Miss Fang, let's try two more plans! The first one is to raise the key and then you sing in a low 8, the second one is to go down and then you continue to do what you just said..."

"Bah bang bang!"

But before the tuner finished speaking, crisp and loud applause rang out in the tuning room.

Aunt Liu quickly looked over and saw the relieved smile on Zhu Cheng's face.

"Good song, really good song."

Zhu Cheng applauded and shook his head, making a tsk-tsk sound in his mouth, "I take back what I said before. Although the lyrics are not as good as those classic songs in the Chinese music scene, the movie is aimed at readers and fans, and the theme song is naturally the same. Even those top lyricists Now that I’m here, I probably won’t be able to write words that are so in line with readers’ tastes!”

"Okay, you continue recording. I have other things to do, so I won't keep you here." Zhu Cheng showed a satisfied expression, then opened the door and walked out, "Xiao Liu, please put a copy of the lyrics in Go to my office...what is the name of the other lyricist?"

"Car's neighbor! Car's car, neighbor's neighbor!"

"Che Neighbor, Che Neighbor... I still haven't heard of it."

Zhu Cheng muttered the name softly and walked away.

He came today just to supervise the song recording, and he had a banquet to attend next. Since the song recording was a success, he felt relieved.

After leaving the door, the driver had parked the car at the entrance of the recording studio. Zhu Cheng got in the car and asked the driver: "Help me check on this person. He is a lyricist. Call him Che Lin."

"Mr. Zhu, what aspect should we check?"

"Contact information, contract company...and life works and so on." Zhu Cheng said: "If you can get in touch, let me know immediately."

As someone who has been in this industry for more than ten years, Zhu Cheng considers things very comprehensively.

If this song is used for movie promotion, then it is for commercial use. If you don’t sign a contract with this guy called Che Lin, there will be risks.

While thinking about it, Zhu Cheng muttered with some confusion: "You are quite talented, why aren't you famous?"

------------------

Almost every time I record a song, I go through it in one go, but for the sake of effect, the sound engineer kept asking Fang Nianwei to follow the accompaniment of different tunes, tried a variety of singing methods, and recorded a lot of spare ones to finish this time.

When the time comes, they will be packaged together and sent to Capital Studios for them to choose.

It is estimated that it has passed the test, and some more improvement suggestions will be needed before it can finally become the official version of the theme song and promotion song.

Wang Anruo, who finished recording the song, did not go back immediately, but followed Aunt Liu to the office building of the company's headquarters.

"Nianwei, there are a lot of things going on recently. Taking advantage of this opportunity of your coming, I have to talk to you carefully."

Aunt Liu asked Wang Anruo to sit in the office first, and then ran to sort out the documents of the recent announcements: "Wait here for a while. There are piles of announcements about coming to see you. I'll go look for them first."

"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Liu."

"Knowing how hard I worked, you will stop doing things like today for me." Aunt Liu glanced at her complainingly: "Can't you write your own songs? You don't know how scary Mr. Zhu is!"

Wang Anruo just smiled and did not answer.

First of all, the lyrics are indeed well written, much better than my own subjective and biased results, so it makes sense to choose the best and use them.

Secondly, she became even more curious about the identity of the lyricist, and even made some more guesses.

Wang Anruo took out his mobile phone, sent a message to his parents that he had finished work, and then opened Qin Feng's chat box.

When she thought about what happened yesterday, she couldn't help but worry about Qin Feng.

Wang Anruo: [Good evening Mr. Qin, have you been spoken to by your leader today? 】

There was a reply soon.

Qin Feng: [The conversation was indeed held, but it was actually a matter of praise rather than blame. Thanks to you, I don't have to go to work these days. 】

Wang Anruo was slightly startled, why did he sound like he was fired?

Wang Anruo: [What happened? 】

Qin Feng sent a long message, briefly explaining that he was selected as a variety show planner and was going to the province to participate in the competition.

Qin Feng: [The leader asked me to concentrate on this matter, and someone will do the work for me first. But I have trouble finding anyone to ask for experience. 】

Experience in variety show planning?

Wang Anruo immediately put down his phone, stood up and looked at Aunt Liu's office.

As a gold medal agent, Aunt Liu has worked as an agent for many popular artists, including hosts of some local TV stations. Later, after becoming popular, she went to satellite TV.

The daily work of a media company includes but is not limited to cultivating idol trainees, signing artists, shaping Internet celebrities, etc. It has its own internal processes and courses.

There are also courses on how to train variety show planners and hosts.

Since there are courses, there must be courseware and lesson plans, and maybe there are success stories.

So she started rummaging around in the office, and after a while she found a large pile of related documents.

Aunt Liu also came back with a pile of documents, but it was not half as big as the pile that Wang Anruo made.

"What is my Miss Fang doing? A famous female star is rummaging through boxes and cabinets like a thief. She was photographed by the paparazzi and will be trending."

"Are these materials left over from the company's training of the variety show team?"

Wang Anruo straightened up and clapped his hands.

She had pulled out some of the documents from the bottom of the cabinet. They were very heavy and took a lot of effort. They must have been a few years old.

But as long as it’s useful, the more the merrier.

Aunt Liu nodded and asked doubtfully: "These are the materials and courseware I used to work as an agent for other people. Do you want to read these?"

Wang Anruo nodded and said in a calm tone: "Study more. I will pack some useful things to take home later."

Aunt Liu shook her head and said, "That's not possible. The company has regulations that all information files cannot be taken away. Each file has a sticker sensor on it, which can be identified by the access control downstairs."

This was the first time Wang Anruo had heard of such advanced technology. Although he wanted to ask if he could just remove the sticker, since Aunt Liu said so, he would not cause trouble for Aunt Liu.

However, what Wang Anruo wants to do cannot be blocked by casual setbacks. Or fundamentally speaking, she has made up her mind to do something bad, and she must do it.

"You can't take it out, which means you can only watch it in the company." Wang Anruo asked casually: "Are there any rules and regulations for this?"

Aunt Liu thought for a while and shook her head: "That's not true. It's not a confidential document. These old sesame seeds and rotten millet things can be bought as scraps next time. It's just that the company's things are not allowed to be taken out, even the documents and equipment of the company. Paper cups won’t work either.”

Wang Anruo thought thoughtfully. It turned out that it was not a secret, but it was not allowed to be taken away.

Just when Aunt Liu was about to complain to her about how terrifying the number of recent announcements was, Wang Anruo suddenly patted her satchel.

"I seem to have left my ID card in the recording studio." She pretended to be distressed and anxious.

Aunt Liu was shocked: "This is a big deal, I'll go ask!"

Putting down the documents, Aunt Liu hurriedly took the phone and went out. If the celebrity ID card is lost, there will be big problems!

After she left, Wang Anruo stood up, opened the door and took a look. No one was around, so he returned to the office and closed the blinds.

On the other side, at Guanhai City TV Station, Qin Feng was sitting at his workstation staring at a blank document.

This was the first time he opened a document and didn't know what to write.

"I'm a novelist, and I can't write variety shows." Qin Feng was in trouble: "I don't know what to prepare for filming a variety show, and the staff don't know what their professions are. How can I write this?"

Just then, his phone rang.

The ringtone attracted the attention of Liu and Xiao Wang from the same office. They looked at Director Wang's office with the lights off, thinking that it might be the director's call.

As a result, Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, his expression was completely different from usual, got up and went out with his mobile phone.

Da Liu and Xiao Wang looked at each other and realized something was wrong.

"Qin Feng used to answer calls in the office, but today it's..."

"It's a private matter, my family will beat me."

"I can't see it. Did you notice the smile on his face when he answered the phone just now?"

"girlfriend?"

"Where did he get his girlfriend? She said she was single last time. How could she be so soon?"

"Could that be..."

Da Liu looked serious, remembering that last time Qin Feng always inquired about where famous ladies were, and was very interested in this kind of news.

"It can't be that one, right?" Da Liu's expression changed. He looked at the steel ball on the window sill and swallowed: "It's the rich woman calling..."

"No, if I answer such a call, I won't be able to laugh at it."

Xiao Wang shook his head, and immediately thought about it, his body trembled and his anus tightened, "It's so disgusting!"

At this moment, Zhao Ming came back from outside and clamped the file on their heads.

"What do we talk about during working hours?"

Da Liu covered his head: "We are talking about Qin Feng."

Xiao Wang immediately answered: "Yes, yes, isn't Qin Feng's birthday coming soon? We are planning how to celebrate, whether to treat him to a meal or buy a cake to the work."

Qin Feng was popular in the office, so when Zhao Ming heard that it was Qin Feng's fault, he didn't blame him.

He chuckled and hooked his hands at the two of them.

"Last year, I celebrated my birthday at work. It was nothing new. I was scolded by Tai Dongsheng next door. I have a good idea. Doesn't Qin Feng live alone? In this way, when it's his birthday, let's bring gifts and cakes. , after work, go to his house to surprise him... Anyway, he doesn’t have to be busy with his job because of the competition recently, so he can go home early."

When Da Liu and Xiao Wang heard this, they were very happy.

"This is a good idea, just give him a surprise!"

"Bring something to eat and cook hot pot? It just so happens that the department hasn't had a dinner together for a long time, so I'll call the director too."

Zhao Ming thought about it carefully after hearing this, and finally decided: "Okay, call Director Wang when the time comes!"
