NOVEL WEB Chapter 19
After several days of selection, five members of the girl group have arrived: Zeng Jingyi, Shao Minzhi, Zeng Yuanyuan, Yang Yayun, and 16-year-old Jiang Mengyan.
Teacher Wang Xueqin was specially invited to the studio to meet with the five people, and a time was set to guide the five people in their pronunciation, harmony, breath and musicality training. And 6boss also decided to hire a professional dancer teacher to guide the five people’s stage positioning and matching. As for the dance design of the first song, it was handed over to Xia Haoyang who volunteered.
"You have to hire a special agent." Zhou Yuanhong said.
"Yeah, it's impossible for us to run around them in everything." Xie Shujie also said.
"For the time being, I'll ask Juzi to help, and then I'll hire an agent. I'll also hire an assistant for Xiao Mengyan," Zhao Yishen said.
"Ask Liu at the front desk to send out recruitment information." Xia Haoyang didn't even think about it.
"Senior Xia, are these really the lyrics you wrote?" Yang Yayun, who was reading the lyrics in the practice room, looked unhappy. In fact, except for the sixteen-year-old Xiao Mengyan, who didn't feel it, the other four people were not satisfied with the lyrics. If it weren't for the catchy melody of the song, I almost felt like I was being cheated.
"What's wrong with the lyrics? There's no problem." Xia Haoyang looked at it. Yes, it was exactly the same as the original Chinese version in his memory.
"This word is so poor. It is all vernacular and has no sense of literary beauty. No matter who hurts whom first, I just want your comfort. This word is too disgusting. If you sing such a word, you will be scolded." Yang Yayun looked disgusted. In this time and space where ancient styles are extremely popular, such straightforward and unpoetic words would not be liked by these young girls in their early 20s.
"Yeah, I also think this word can't be sung, it's too awkward." Zeng Yuanyuan also frowned.
"But this song is okay. As for the lyrics, you won't care if you sing it happily." Shao Minzhi didn't care.
"It's mixed with English. Minzhi is right. Once you sing it so well, you don't care anymore." Zeng Jingyi can also accept it.
Jiang Mengyan blinked and looked at the four people who were speaking in confusion, not knowing what to say.
"I did create the lyrics and music. I'm sorry to disappoint you. But don't worry, this song will be popular." Fatty Xia's seemingly confident appearance made several singers even more confused.
What they like is "The sky is blue waiting for misty rain, and I am waiting for you." "It rains heavily, and the vegetation in my old hometown is deep." The lyrics written by Xia Haoyang before were of this beautiful, romantic and desolate ancient style. This is also the fundamental reason why so many junior girls from Yancheng Conservatory of Music want to join Fat Cat Studio and sing Xia Haoyang's songs. Now tell them that what they are singing is "No matter who hurts who first, I just want your comfort", and this phrase has been repeated seven or eight times, that's it? ? ?
Although Xia Haoyang has repeatedly emphasized that the singing style of the group established this time is not ancient style, but electronic music, hip-hop, and dance music. But the style of the previous works is there, they don’t believe it. Now that I really saw the lyrics and music, I bought the long-awaited fairy sister on a certain treasure, and then when it arrived, I opened it and saw that it was Jia Ling. The sense of loss brought about by that contrast was far beyond Xia Haoyang's expectation.
6boss actually knew about Xia Haoyang's first music for the girl group. Although he felt that the lyrics seemed a bit poor, the whole music was still very distinctive. He also heard about Xia Haoyang's general idea about the MV single. In fact, It’s a perfect fit for the current five-member team, and it feels like it’s going to be a huge hit.
So which piece of girl group music did Xia Haoyang choose for the first time? The original world's 2008 hit "Nobody" swept across Asia. The original world's "Magic Girls" group also happens to be five people. This music is in a retro style, which can perfectly integrate the Chinese characteristics of this time and space, and replace it with the 30s of the last century. The figure-flattering cheongsam of the era is made into a retro outfit. With an average height of 165cm, five young and beautiful girls sing brainwashing music. This is unreasonable if it is not popular.
Although Xia Haoyang has conceived everything well, and 6boss is also very optimistic about the potential of this music, the people involved in singing this song have no idea how this song will affect the world, and they are still struggling with the lyrics that sound like vernacular.
Xia Haoyang came to the company early the next day because he received a call from a famous old artist last night and heard that his studio was recruiting female singers. Her granddaughter was very interested, so she will come to the studio for an interview today.
Before the old artist arrived with his granddaughter, two members of the girl group, Zeng Yuanyuan and Yang Yayun, walked into Xia Haoyang's office.
Looking at the two girls who suddenly walked into his office, Xia Haoyang had a premonition of what was going to happen. But he still smiled and asked: "What's wrong with the two junior sisters?"
"I'm sorry, Brother Xia, after studying and understanding here these days, I don't want to debut as a girl group, nor do I really want to sing the kind of hip-hop music you mentioned. I feel that it doesn't match my style and characteristics. ." Yang Yayun lowered her head and whispered.
"Yeah, I think so too." Zeng Yuanyuan also lowered her head and said.
"I'm sorry, Brother Xia. It was indeed me who took the initiative to participate in the interview before. You also told us repeatedly what was going on. It was always clear to us, but I didn't think about it at the time. I thought about it for a long time last night and felt that the women's team Actually it's not suitable for me, I'm sorry." Yang Yayun bowed deeply.
"I'm sorry." Zeng Yuanyuan also bowed deeply.
In fact, they have all signed formal work contracts with Fat Cat Studio. Strictly speaking, their current behavior can be regarded as a breach of contract.
But Xia Haoyang, who had almost no thought, said with a smile: "Haha, get up, don't be so formal. Well, you are still young, and you really don't have a deeper understanding of the girl group I want to create. I also don't know much about electronic music and hip-hop music. Not familiar enough. It doesn’t matter, we will just dissolve the contract, and you will not be considered a breach of contract. But there is one request. You have already seen the song "Nobody", and I hope it will not be sung outside. Okay?"
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Xia, we won't talk nonsense outside. I'm sorry." Both of them knew that they were at fault, so they apologized repeatedly.
"It's okay, it's okay." Seeing the two little girls almost crying, Xia Haoyang kept calmly explaining to the two junior sisters who wanted to leave.
Although Fatty Xia has some regrets, he respects their personal choices. After all, ancient style is the mainstream in China. In fact, Xia Haoyang is no longer as confident in the popularity of K-pop after gaining a deeper understanding of the world. It just depends on whether "nobody" can be sung. Xia Haoyang cheers himself up! The headache now is the selection. There are only 5 people left in the 3-member team. well!
