Singing Guest

Regarding the matter of inviting guest singers, Songshi Records held a meeting to discuss.

"Caiwei, which singer do you want to help sing? If there is no special candidate, you can find it in the company. You can also ask Yao Liying to help sing." Liang Yusong took the initiative to suggest Yao Liying.

Yao Liying is the first sister of Songshi and is a popular first-line female singer. Asking her to help sing will definitely not lose her status.

Moreover, as long as Liang Yusong asks a singer from the same company, Yao Liying cannot refuse.

However, Li Caiwei once competed with Yao Liying for the position of Songshi's first sister, and now she asked Yao Liying to help sing, which still made her feel a little weird.

Li Caiwei did not agree, but she did not object either, but wanted to discuss other candidates.

Fang Xing thought about it and said, "Actually, Zhang Huiying's invitation to sing has been delayed for a long time. If this song is a duet with Zhang Huiying, maybe we can try to invite her to be a guest singer."

When Qiao Yinghong heard it, she immediately felt that there was something interesting. She looked at Li Caiwei and agreed: "This is a good idea. Let's sing this theme song with Zhang Huiying, and then ask her to be your guest singer. I think she will agree."

Zhang Huiying is a queen who is currently at her peak. There is no doubt about her popularity and strength.

If you can ask Zhang Huiying to help sing, you will undoubtedly have a better chance of winning.

Li Caiwei thought for a moment and agreed: "It's okay."

In fact, inviting Zhang Huiying to be a guest singer will invisibly help her gain popularity.

It was Zhang Huiying who gave her a hand. This was an opportunity to raise her national level and hit the front line.

Liang Yusong thought this plan was good and agreed: "If Zhang Huiying is willing to help sing, it would be a good idea."

Qiao Yinghong started arranging work: "I will contact Zhang Huiying's agent tomorrow and ask for their opinion. If Zhang Huiying agrees, then the matter will be settled."

After confirming Li Caiwei's guest singer, Liang Yusong looked at Fang Xing and asked, "What about yours? Who are you going to invite as a guest singer? There are not many singers in the music world who are suitable for your song."

The historical song Fang Xing is going to sing this time is actually a baritone.

In the pop music world, male singers basically hit each other's high notes.

It seems that if you can't reach A4 or B4, you are not considered a professional singer.

However, in vocal music, in addition to tenors, there are actually baritones.

However, there are indeed relatively few baritones in pop music.

Moreover, most of the famous baritones are veteran artists from the national team, and there are really few of them in the pop music world.

Fang Xing had thought about this problem before.

This baritone Theme Song of the Three Kingdoms needs to be at its peak of vocal skills to sing, but it’s almost impossible to sing it.

"My idea is to ask Professor Chen Chaonan, Dongyin's doctoral supervisor, to help sing, but I don't know if I can do it." Fang Xing expressed his thoughts.

Chen Chaonan is a doctoral supervisor of Dongyin Music and a famous academic baritone singer.

If you ask him to sing this Three Kingdoms theme song, it would be very suitable indeed.

However, Chen Chaonan is a doctoral supervisor at Dongyin after all, so it is more difficult to ask him to help sing than to ask other pop music singers.

Hearing this idea, Liang Yusong nodded and said: "Bo Director Chen is indeed a good candidate, and you had a mentor-disciple relationship before on "Tomorrow's Star". It should be promising to ask him to help sing now.

"In this way, I will contact Chen Chaonan first, and then find a time for us to visit together and chat in person."

Fang Xing nodded in agreement: "This is indeed better."

If Fang Xing went to invite it himself, it would feel a bit insufficient.

Although in "Tomorrow's Star", Chen Chaonan repeatedly suggested that Fang Xing take the postgraduate entrance examination at Dongyin.

But after all, Fang Xing has not taken the exam yet. Strictly speaking, he is not Chen Chaonan's student yet.

Therefore, this teacher-student friendship is actually not very solid.

After preliminary selection of the guest singers, the company's management team was divided into two teams and began to target Zhang Huiying and Chen Chaonan.

the next day.

Liang Yusong and Chen Chaonan made an appointment to meet in Dongyin's office.

Fang Xing and Liang Yusong arrived at Dongyin's Vocal Music Building on time and visited Chen Chaonan's office.

"Please sit down, please take a seat and have a taste of the freshly brewed tea." Chen Chaonan personally picked up the teapot and poured a cup for the two of them.

"Professor Chen, you don't have to be so polite. We will do it ourselves." Liang Yusong hurriedly took the teapot.

"I already knew what was going on on the phone yesterday. I also watched Fang Xing's performance on "Singing" twice, and there was improvement. Not bad." Chen Chaonan praised it a few times.

"They are all taught well by their alma mater."

Fang Xing quickly said modestly, and then got back to the topic: "In the first round of the "Singing" finals, we need to invite guest singers. The songs I prepared are more suitable for baritone singing, so I took the liberty to come and visit."

Chen Chaonan was not in a hurry to agree, but asked: "What kind of song is it?"

"The theme of the competition is 'The Dust of History'. The song I prepared has been signed to be the theme song for CCTV's opening drama next year. CCTV has very high requirements for singers, so I thought of Teacher." Fang

Xing Xing directly used the title "teacher".

The relationship suddenly became much closer.

"So that's it, can you listen to the music first?" Chen Chaonan became interested, but for things like this, you can only make a decision after hearing the music.

An academic singer like him cherishes his feathers. If his singing is not good, he will not agree even if he is invited by a friend.

Fang Xing took out his cell phone and said, "Let me pass a copy to the teacher. How about listening to it now?"

"sure."

As Chen Chaonan said, he asked Fang Xing to transfer the song sample to WeChat and then open it on the computer.

The sound quality of the office audio equipment is very good.

The prelude of the song came out, and the magnificent orchestral accompaniment rolled out, instantly pulling people into the battlefield thousands of miles away, and an unprecedented battle unfolded before their eyes.

After listening to the song carefully, Chen Chaonan exclaimed: "Is this Yang Shen's lyrics?"

"Yes, Yang Shen's words." Fang Xing nodded and replied.

"It's really grand and majestic. This song is very good. If nothing else, I'm willing to help sing just for this song. It just depends on whether the time can be coordinated." After listening to the song, Chen Chaonan was very interested.

Although he didn't finish his words, the smile on his face showed that he really wanted to sing this song.

Chen Chaonan doesn't take on many performances and usually attends classes at school, so it's easier to coordinate time.

Next, after discussing the timetable, Chen Chaonan agreed to be a guest singer.

…

the other side.

Qiao Yinghong took Li Caiwei to talk to Zhang Huiying's management team.

With Zhang Huiying's current status in the music world, she doesn't actually need to be a guest singer on "The Voice".

Her popularity no longer needs "Singing" to increase her popularity, so under normal circumstances, it is not easy to ask her to be a guest singer.

Li Caiwei and Zhang Huiying didn't have any friendship, so if Li Caiwei had gone to look for her, she probably wouldn't have seen Zhang Huiying at all, and she would have been stopped by her agent.

However, this time, Qiao Yinghong brought another Three Kingdoms theme song to the discussion, so she met Zhang Huiying and had a small meeting.

After listening to the theme song of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Huiying frowned: "Fang Xing has given me a difficult problem. When a problem arises, he still doesn't come over in person."

Qiao Yinghong quickly explained: "Fang Xing has also entered the finals of "Singing", and he is also busy looking for guest singers, so we can only come first. After he has coordinated well, we can also come over and talk in person."

Zhang Huiying pretended to be angry and said: "I've been waiting for almost half a year to invite him to sing, but now that the song is out, he still wants me to be a guest singer."

Qiao Yinghong quickly smiled and said, "Isn't this the hope that Sister Huiying can take care of Wei?"

Zhang Huiying then asked: "You just said that this song has been used as the theme song for CCTV's new year's drama next year?"

"Yes, but I haven't recorded the official version yet, so I want to ask Sister Huiying to sing." Qiao Yinghong explained.

Zhang Huiying thought about it and replied: "Let's do this. I will help sing in "Singing". However, I will sing this theme song by myself without getting paid or sharing."

Qiao Yinghong was not surprised when she heard this request. In fact, she had thought of it from the beginning.

A popular diva like Zhang Huiying doesn't easily lead others.

It’s also rare that the theme song of a TV series was sung by two female singers.

Therefore, Zhang Huiying's proposal is actually the best way to cooperate in the interests of both parties.

That is to say.

The original singer of this Three Kingdoms theme song is Zhang Huiying.

However, she will be a guest singer for Li Caiwei on "The Voice".

From this point of view, it seems that Li Caiwei suffered a little loss, because this song was originally sung for her.

Of course, this song is to be used as the theme song for CCTV's New Year's Eve drama. The Three Kingdoms crew also has a say in who will sing it in the end.

Therefore, it is still unknown whether Li Caiwei will be able to sing this song in the end.

Zhang Huiying also knows that doing this is a bit like stealing Li Caiwei's song, but in return, going to "Singing" to be a guest singer for Li Caiwei is a return of the favor.

As for the relationship between her and Fang Xing, that is a matter between the two of them and has nothing to do with Li Caiwei.
