Chapter 117
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Yanjing International Airport!
Director He and Chen Xi left the terminal. The sun was scorching and it was a bit hot, which was very different from the climate in Shanghai.
Chen Xi looked at the architectural style of Yanjing and felt too familiar...
The airport was not far from the recording studio of the Music Association headquarters. The two waved and stopped a taxi...
Two-thirty in the afternoon.
Lingzhou and his group also arrived at Yanjing West Station!
Chang Yunxin opened the folding wheelchair, and Xiao Yuanpeng and Chang Yuanyi helped Xiao Shiqing sit on it.
Ning Jing was very familiar with this place. Looking at the long platform, she called a seven-seater luxury online car-hailing car and made a call.
""Guo Hong, I'm at Yanjing..."
The largest and most luxurious recording studio in China.
The Music Association Recording Studio!
It covers an area of 280,000 square meters, which is about one-third of the area of the Forbidden City. It has been in operation for 28 years, and countless celebrities have recorded popular and highly sung songs here.
Perfect acoustic design and constantly updated recording equipment ensure that it can bring the most perfect and ultimate experience to singers!
Li Yongqin, vice president of the Music Association, stood at the door of the recording studio after answering He Nanting's call...
From a distance, I saw a taxi stopped, and He Nanting and a young man got out of the car, carrying two shoulder bags!
Li Yongqin came up,
"Old He, you are very honored. President Zeng personally asked about the recording studio for you. He discussed with everyone who recorded these days and spent several hours to arrange time for you."
Director He took two quick steps and stretched out his hand,"Thank you so much, President Zeng. We, Star Entertainment, will cover the rental fee for those who have taken up their time today. Thank you so much!"
It's another favor!
"Haha, no problem. The band has made an appointment and is waiting in the hall. Let's go!" Chairman Li led the two to the recording studio hall.
Xingguang Entertainment has made a lot of money during this period. He Nanting is generous. He can make the occupied company calm down and explain himself. Li Yongqin feels relieved.
"Who is this?"
"Haha, we are from the composition department. We are here today to record the accompaniment with the band." It seems that President Qin didn't say much, and He Nanting also laughed it off.
Chen Xi smiled and nodded at Li Yongqin. Li Yongqin glanced at Chen Xi and smiled as well. He led the two to the corner of the hall, where five people were sitting on the sofa.
A middle-aged man with glasses and a gentle manner. Four young people who were neatly dressed, sitting upright, and smiling.
Seeing Vice President Li leading two people over, the five people stood up at the same time. The gentle middle-aged man took the lead and came forward to shake hands with Li Yongqin first.
Li Yongqin led the few people to the side before speaking,"Starlight Entertainment, Mr. He..." Then he looked at Chen Xi.
Chen Xi quickly introduced himself,"Chen Xi!"
The middle-aged man with glasses stretched out his hand,"I am the captain of the Fantasy Sound String Band, Chen Liang, and I have the same last name as you!"
Chen Xi quickly extended his hand, and after shaking hands, Chen Liang shook hands with He Nanting and introduced himself,"Our orchestra has a total of 38 people, including strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and a pianist. We can meet the needs of regular songs and string recordings."
After listening to the introduction, He Nanting looked at Chen Xi, and Chen Liang turned his gaze to Chen Xi in confusion. Is this young man in charge?
Chen Xi nodded,"Enough, we can record two groups depending on the situation!"
After listening to Chen Xi's words, Chen Liang was not very reassured, and glanced at Li Yongqin again. Li Yongqin said,"Then you arrange the personnel. The recording studio is at five o'clock. You can discuss the cost with Mr. He!"
Chen Liang nodded and stood aside.
Li Yongqin pulled He Nanting and Chen Xi away again, and lowered his voice,"Look at those four guys, they are in good spirits, but their qualifications are not enough. They have been promoting in the recording studio for a day today, and I asked them to wait... I don't know the standard of our accompaniment…?"
Chen Xi looked towards the corner and saw four young men who had been standing there since they came in, looking at him with smiles on their faces. They seemed to be about the same age as him.…
"If not, there is another group that will finish recording at 4:30, which is more professional and will be in time."Li Yongqin made two preparations. He saw that it was not easy for these four young people, so he stayed to see if it was possible.
Give the young people a chance. If they don't like it, it won't delay the work!
"Give it a try. If it doesn’t work, you’ll have to change it." Seeing the expectant eyes looking at him, Chen Xi decided to give it a chance. Although they were all playing guitar, bass, and drums, the level difference was huge, and the feeling they gave to the audience was still very different!
"OK, let them come over. I checked them out in advance and they are all good at skills, but they look young and unreliable."
President Li waved to a few people, and the four young men hurriedly trotted to Li Yongqin, bowed to Li Yongqin and He Nanting, and nodded to Chen Xi.
"Go, show them your stuff!" Li Yongqin called out, and the four young men hurried out. Li Yongqin also led a few people out.
"Their instruments are all in the car, let's go outside and wait, it's not appropriate to disturb others in the hall." Li Yongqin walked out first after he finished speaking, and the three people followed him out.
Outside the hall!
Four young men hurriedly ran to the roadside not far from the parking lot, opened the door of a Wuling van, holding their equipment, and kept looking back with an apologetic smile.
After a while, the four young men came back jogging with their equipment. It was hot and their foreheads were sweaty!
"My name is Zhou Kai, and I play guitar!"
"My name is Zhou Jun, and I also play guitar accompaniment!"
After the two of them finished speaking, they raised the electric guitars in their hands...
Chen Xi saw that the two of them looked a bit similar, and judging from their names, they should be brothers!
"My name is Liu Hao, and I am good at bass."After saying that, he raised the bass in his hand like the two brothers in front of him!
Then everyone looked at the last person together,"My name is Zhang Shirong, drummer, good at drums."
After saying that, he took out two small drumsticks...
President Li just told them to briefly introduce themselves and talk about the instruments they are good at. Don't talk too much nonsense, otherwise it will easily offend people!
After introducing themselves, the four people stood still and didn't speak...
He Nanting didn't speak.
Li Yongqin looked at Chen Xi. He had just realized in the hall that it seemed that this young man was the one who made the decision.…
"Are you Zhang Shirong?" Chen Xiwang asked the young man holding two drumsticks.
"Yes, my name is Zhang Shirong, hello!"
Chen Xi nodded and looked at Li Yongqin,"President Li, how about we try it out, is it convenient for you?"
Li Yongqin was puzzled when he heard Chen Xi asking for someone's name. How could he look at the name instead of the level?
It's obviously not professional!
He couldn't correct it himself. Seeing that Chen Xi was being polite, he didn't care so much,"Who will go first?"
Zhou Kai and Zhou Jun each played a short guitar solo, and then looked at Chen Xi solemnly.
Chen Xi saw that the playing technique was not amateurish, and he should have had professional training and long-term practice. He nodded and looked at the bassist, Liu Hao!
A short bass solo, with a long note at the end...
After the performance, Liu Hao looked at Chen Xi with a smile.
Even Chen Liang looked over in surprise, and Chen Xi was also quite surprised. The level was quite high. Chen Xi recalled that there were people who could compare.…
"what should I do…?"Zhang Shirong, holding two drumsticks in his hands, was a little at a loss...
This sentence made several people laugh.
Chen Xi smiled and said,"It's okay, no need to show it. Are you four a band?"
The four people nodded, with sadness and helplessness in their eyes.…
"What's the name of your band?"
"Dream band!"
