After introducing Wang Xuan to the music department, Li Tao took Wang Xuan to visit the entire Tianyu Entertainment, focusing on several important departments, including the planning department, marketing department, production department, and artist department.
Then the two returned to Wang Xuan's office and talked about the TV series theme song composed for Shen Zhe.
"Brother Tao, have you sent the song "Female Consort" to Director Shen Zhe?" Wang Xuan asked.
"Not yet. Brother Xuan, you may not understand that Lao Shen's company specializes in the film and television sector and does not have a music department, so the theme song composed for them must be a finished product. They cannot understand it if it only has music scores. Moreover, Although the score you gave is complete, it doesn’t indicate which instruments will be used, and I don’t know how to introduce this song to them.”
"I understand, it was my negligence. Please show me all the singer information in our company."
"all?"
"Yes, everything. This song is a bit special and requires special skills."
"I understand, I knew this song was not that simple." Li Tao said, and soon all the singer's information was presented in front of Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan took a rough look at it first.
Needless to say, there are quite a few singers under Tianyu Entertainment, and their quality is just that... Tsk tsk, except for Lin Rui, there are only two second-tier singers, and there are only seven or eight third-tier singers, and most of the others are newcomers.
Li Tao obviously knew the basic situation of Tianyu Entertainment and blushed a little. He explained: "The singer department under the artist department was only established in the past five years because our company has been unable to recruit top songwriters and many big-name singers are unwilling to join us. We sign contracts with Tianyu. Most of the third-tier and above third-tier singers you see now are trained by us ourselves."
"It's okay." Wang Xuan nodded and began to look at the singer's information.
What Wang Xuan needs to find is someone with special skills. To be precise, someone with the ability to sing Huangmei Opera, and their gender is female.
Once the conditions are defined, it will be much easier to find people. Soon, Wang Xuan locked two singers.
One is named Yang Tingting. Born in Yicheng, the birthplace of Huangmei Opera, she has been exposed to Huangmei Opera since she was a child. During the two years between the ages of 18 and 20, Yang Tingting continued to sing Huangmei Opera on the stage with the opera troupe, and became a mainstay with her outstanding opera tune. .
It wasn't until fewer and fewer people came to listen to the opera, and the troupe suddenly announced its disbandment due to lack of support, that Yang Tingting became frustrated and became a singer, and was discovered and signed by a talent scout from Tianyu Entertainment.
The other one, Li Mengyan, was also a monk in an opera troupe, but her exposure was not to Huangmei Opera but to Henan Opera.
Comparing the two, Wang Xuan prefers Yang Tingting. According to the information, Yang Tingting was the most suitable, but Wang Xuan had to listen to her voice before making any decision.
As for Li Mengyan, let’s be a backup first.
"This Yang Tingting, tell her to go to the recording studio to try out the sound." Wang Xuan said.
Li Tao was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect Wang Xuan to choose a complete newcomer Yang Tingting instead of choosing so many big-name singers. It seems that Yang Tingting is going to take off in the future.
Yang Tingting's external conditions are not bad in themselves, but she did not show the potential to become popular. Although the company signed her, she was not one of the company's favorites, and she did not receive many resources. Even after two years, Yang Tingting was still It has been tepid, almost standing still.
But now that Wang Xuan has chosen Yang Tingting, that's a different matter. For a singer, what resource can be as valuable as a top songwriter? Even top songwriters value her, and the company's resources will definitely be tilted towards Yang Tingting. This is also the reason why Li Tao thinks Yang Tingting is going to take off. Unless Yang Tingting's performance becomes unusable after a while.
Li Tao notified Yang Tingting's agent.
Yang Tingting is a newcomer in the singer world, and her manager Wu Yu is also a complete rookie. He has been in the industry for less than a year, so Wu Yu was a little confused when she received a call from Li Tao asking Yang Tingting to audition.
Li Tao knew on the phone that Wu Yu obviously didn't take this audition seriously. He probably thought that this audition was just an ordinary audition as usual, so he had to explain the stakes more thoroughly and make it more serious. tone.
Wu Yu understood this time. After hanging up the phone, I rushed into the artist department excitedly, shouting as I ran: "Tingting, Tingting, come with me to audition, you're about to take off."
This move made many artists unhappy. Of course, they didn't say anything, they just frowned and looked at Wu Yu.
"Sister Yu, please keep your voice down." Yang Tingting reminded.
"Ah, I'm sorry everyone, I'm so excited." Wu Yu came to his senses and quickly apologized, then whispered to Yang Tingting: "Let's go to the audition with me. You must perform well, you are going to take off."
"How to say?"
"Teacher Wang Xuan composed a new song and asked you to audition by name. That's Teacher Wang Xuan." Because she was so excited, Wu Yu couldn't control her voice.
But no one blamed her this time, everyone was attracted by what she said.
"Ah? Mr. Wang Xuan, the songwriter of "East Wind Breaks", "Half City of Smoke and Sand", and "The World"?" Yang Tingting asked in disbelief, her voice a little uncontrollable.
"right."
After getting Wu Yu's affirmative answer, Yang Tingting was so happy that she almost jumped up from her seat.
The other artists looked at her with envy and jealousy. Now no one thinks Yang Tingting's behavior as master and servant is inappropriate.
That's top songwriter Wang Xuan!
Putting it into perspective, if Wang Xuan composed a new song and chose them, their performance would definitely not be any better than this pair of master and servant.
"I don't know what kind of bad luck this guy got, but he was chosen by Teacher Wang Xuan?" Many artists thought with a bit of amazement.
"Is it a PY transaction?" Some artists thought maliciously, but they could only think about it, but no artist dared to say this at the risk of offending a top songwriter.
No matter what others thought, Yang Tingting did not dare to delay. She quickly checked her makeup in the mirror. After there was no problem, she went to the recording studio with Wu Yu.
In the recording studio, Wang Xuan and Li Tao were already waiting there. In addition, the musicians Wang Xuan needed were also there.
This was the first time that Yang Tingting and Wu Yu met Wang Xuan. The latter was chatting and laughing with Li Tao, the head of the music department. His handsome appearance and sunny smile... For a moment, Yang Tingting felt like she was going to fall in love. .
But I don’t deserve it!
Thinking of the gap between her status and that of Teacher Wang Xuan, Yang Tingting had no choice but to put her philandering away. Now is not the time to be a nymphomaniac, the top priority is to seize this opportunity.
"Hello Brother Tao, hello Teacher Wang Xuan." Yang Tingting greeted politely.
Wang Xuan's eyes lit up when he saw Yang Tingting. This girl's external conditions are indeed good and she can score at least 80 points. If you have a good voice, you should be able to do it if you are willing to do it.
"Tingting, right? I see in your information that you have three years of experience in Huangmei Opera, right?" Wang Xuan asked.
"Yes." Yang Tingting nodded.
"Then do you still have your acting skills? Now I'll give you a Huangmei opera, can you sing it?"
"Yes. Huangmei opera is something that has been engraved in my bones since I was a child. I will never forget it in this life."
"That's ok. You can sing the classic song "Who Expected to Win the Number One Prize in the Emperor's List" from Huangmei Opera, right?"
"meeting."
Yang Tingting said, opened her mouth and sang:
"In order to save Li Lang from his homeland, who would have expected that he would win the first prize on the imperial list?"
The number one scholar wears a red robe
The palace flowers in the hat are so good, so fresh.”
...
After singing these two verses, Wang Xuan's eyes lit up. It is indeed not unreasonable to think that one can become the mainstay of a theater troupe. Yang Tingting's acting style is very upright and her voice is sweet, which can be regarded as a typical bel canto acting style.
"I also went to the Qionglin Banquet
I also beat my horse in front of the street, and everyone praised me Pan An's appearance. It turned out that the photo of me wearing a gauze hat was amazing.
Where is Zhaochanjuan?”
After singing the second verse, Wang Xuan shouted to stop.
Yang Tingting and Wu Yu were confused and looked at Wang Xuan uneasily.
Li Tao also looked at Wang Xuan: "How?"
"Okay." Wang Xuan nodded and looked at Yang Tingting, "Tingting, if there are no other announcements today, just wait here and start recording the songs after I finish recording the soundtrack."
Yang Tingting has a sweet voice and a mellow operatic tone. She is absolutely suitable for singing the song "Female Consort", at least it will not be worse than the original version of the earth version.
