I'm a star in a world with elves
Chapter 25: A born singer
What Xia Menglin didn't expect was that Yang Ziqing would hold the meeting at his home.
It is said that Yang Ziqing's manager made an appointment at a coffee shop, but Yang Ziqing herself expressed that she was very interested in Xia Menglin's musical instruments and wanted to familiarize herself with the music environment in advance.
So I asked him directly where he lived.
Tang Tang was speechless about this, and complained directly to Xia Menglin in private: "She is so rude, I regret agreeing for you."
Although the entertainment industry is not a place where politeness is important, basic courtesy is still required.If anyone asks someone to cooperate, just make an appointment at that person’s house.
After all, this circle is for display to outsiders.
Xia Menglin didn't feel anything about this. In his previous life, he had seen all kinds of weird things. In comparison, Yang Ziqing was quite normal.
When Yang Ziqing arrived at Xia Menglin's home, his agent brought two bags of fruit.It looks like they are relatives or friends who have come to check in. This approach seems very human.
Her eyebrows were curved and her smile was bright.
Xia Menglin said expressionlessly: "You guys arrived two hours earlier than the agreed time."
It's polite to arrive early, but it's a waste to arrive too early.
Tangtang hasn’t even come yet.
Jin Mei was a little embarrassed. She couldn't figure out Yang Ziqing's idea: it was her request to have a discussion at Xia Menglin's home, and it was her request to arrive early.As an agent, she could not change Yang Ziqing's will.
Yang Ziqing said: "Well, I want to take a look at the environment first."
At this time, the company did not have a dedicated music room, and Xia Menglin's home was the place with the best conditions for making music.
Xia Menglin sighed: "Don't expect the boys' room to be so nice."
My predecessor had a slight mysophobia, so the room was tidied up very well every time.But Xia Menglin didn't. Instead, as time passed, his lazy nature became more and more exposed.
What showed was that the room was very messy, at least it didn't look clean.
Yang Ziqing smiled brightly: "How about I help you clean it."
Jin Mei on the side was shocked, this aunt dared to say anything.
She and Xia Menglin were just colleagues, not friends.If this word gets out, you might have to face some rumors.
You know, female stars in the industry have to face a more demanding environment than male stars, especially young female stars like Yang Ziqing, who need to maintain a pure relationship to satisfy many people's sexual fantasies.
As cruel as it is, this is reality.
Fortunately, Xia Menglin is not a person who doesn't know anything. Even if an ordinary person comes to visit, there is no reason to ask the guest to clean the room.
He changed the subject: "Let me familiarize you with the recording studio first, and check your vocal range by the way."
The so-called recording studio is a small room specially opened by Xia Menglin in his room.The room contained only music equipment and computers, which he spent a lot of time and money filling.
And this is also Dream Demon's favorite place.
Every night when Xia Menglin was playing the piano, the Dream Demon would always be by his side.
However, this private place where Dream Demon and Xia Menglin get along soon welcomed a stranger.The dream monster on the ceiling was very unhappy about this.
Before it was Gardevoir, now it's Yang Ziqing.
It’s just that the dream monster has no hands to bully, 嘤嘤嘤
No matter how unhappy she felt, she could only watch Yang Ziqing enter the recording studio and watch Xia Menglin carefully adjust the equipment for her.
She wanted to see what this woman was capable of.
At this time, Xia Menglin naturally didn't know the dream demon's psychological activities.He looked at Yang Ziqing: "Have you ever sung before?"
"I've sung it before. Bad boys often sing it."
Xia Menglin couldn't tell whether Yang Ziqing was sincere or trying to please him. He said businesslikely: "If you've sung it before, it's easy to talk about it. I'll accompany you, and you can sing it again and I'll listen to it."
He needs to understand Yang Ziqing's timbre and range so that he can decide what type of song to let Yang Ziqing sing.
"Here?" She looked a little shy.
"Ah."
Xia Menglin stood in front of the piano and started playing.
A peerless painting will lose value if a corner is missing.
If you whisper too hoarsely, the atmosphere will be awkward
Yang Ziqing's tone made Xia Menglin's eyes light up.
If it weren't for playing the piano, he would almost have to clap.
Yang Ziqing has not systematically studied music theory or singing skills. Whether it is vocalization or pronunciation, she sings with a high voice like ordinary people.Xia Menglin could hear her nasal voice when breathing, as well as the special ending sound behind each lyric.
However, these shortcomings are not worth mentioning in the face of outstanding talents.
Her voice is so bright that it directly covers up the flaws in her singing voice, and her vocal range is equally wide.Although there was no treble part in Bad Boy, Xia Menglin could tell that she had lost her strength in singing.And the most important thing is that Yang Ziqing is not out of tune.
Only those who have been to KTV know how difficult it is for people who have not systematically studied music to not be out of tune.
In the past, Xia Menglin relied entirely on shouting to sing, and his tunes could also reach the Himalayas.
After singing the song, he immediately clapped his hands.
"You have very good conditions and are more suitable to be a singer."
Singers and songwriters are different. Only very few people can be both singers and songwriters.The identity that distinguishes the two is that one relies on God for a living, and the other relies on talent for a living.
Yang Ziqing belongs to the former, while Xia Menglin belongs to neither. He is a plagiarist.
He looked at Yang Ziqing again and couldn't help but praise: "It doesn't matter if you are good-looking, you are so talented, you will definitely become popular in the future."
Yang Ziqing smiled: "Thank you for the compliment. I feel like I'm half as popular as you said this."
Whether he was pretending or sincere, this sentence made Xia Menglin very useful.
He smiled and asked: "What kind of songs do you like, or what kind of star does the company plan to package you as?"
When a company launches an artist, it will add a so-called personality to the artist, especially for female stars.The character designs of Royal Sister Fan, Lolita Style, Pure Young Girl, and Jade Girl Leader determine the foundation of the early stage.Naturally, the works of actresses must be based on a framework that fits the personality.
Otherwise, if an actress with a pure persona suddenly sang a song called Itchy, the scene would be so beautiful that Xia Menglin wouldn't dare to look at it.
"Character"
Yang Ziqing thought about it and realized that the company had really created a character for her.
She has a pretty face, especially her friendly smile, so the company wants her to be like the girl next door.
This is also the route that most actresses take.
The status of celebrities in the parallel world is not high, so they need to be friendly and down-to-earth.If you act like a cold queen, you will definitely be sprayed to death.
However, when the words came to her lips, she changed again: "Just watch this. Whatever song you write, I will be like that."
This is already a bit ambiguous.
Xia Menglin even wondered if this Yang Ziqing had an affair with her predecessor. Otherwise, why would she always make him feel so ambiguous?
He calmed his expression: "Then I understand."
At this moment, Tangtang arrived.
The protagonists of this cooperation are Xia Menglin and Yang Ziqing, but the negotiations on the details are in the hands of Tang Tang and Jin Mei.
Jin Mei has almost no temper in front of Yang Ziqing, but she is a good negotiator outside, especially when this matter concerns her artist.
When Tang Tang said that the song given by Xia Menglin would be a duet song between men and women, she subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"Zi Qing wants to follow a pure path. There should be no scandals when she first debuts." Jin Mei understands this very clearly: "And you have to know that music is just a small circle. Don't be too greedy."
Jin Mei had a cold face, wondering if she was overthinking Xia Menglin's use of Yang Ziqing's resources.
It is easy for people to have bad associations with love songs sung by men and women, and this association can increase the popularity of both parties, but it directly ruins Yang Ziqing's character.
She said: "I can give in to everything else, even if I use money to buy songs, it's no problem, but singing duets between men and women is definitely not an option."
Tang Tang's face didn't look good either.
Every agent wants to secure resources, channels and exposure for their stars, but she doesn't care about this.
Even as an insider, she also understands how important a personality is to an actress.
"I took it for granted."
She apologized on the outside, but she couldn't deny it on the inside.
These days, personality is not that important.Anyway, everything can be washed away.
It would be better to let Xia Menglin perfunctory one song.
Anyway, if you can’t get exposure, then you don’t have to be careful.
As for a verbal promise made by a character in a film or television drama, whoever believes it is a fool.
It is said that Yang Ziqing's manager made an appointment at a coffee shop, but Yang Ziqing herself expressed that she was very interested in Xia Menglin's musical instruments and wanted to familiarize herself with the music environment in advance.
