Chapter 164 First Single
Chen Chufan, who returned to the dormitory, seemed very excited. As soon as he entered the door, he borrowed Ye Feng's computer to go online. Of course, he mainly watched music channels on the portal website. Seeing the rows of songs on the list, Chen Chufan suddenly felt very motivated.
"Damn! You really want to be a big star!" Ye Feng took a shower and came out of the bathroom. He looked at Chen Chufan who was still excited and was speechless.
"What, no? I said I want to make that Kalman regret it! Real man, do what he says!"
"Okay, why can't you? You can definitely do it! But I'm going to sleep, so please turn off the music, thank you!" Ye Feng suddenly threw himself on the bed and gave a sincere suggestion.
"You also know that you need to be quiet when sleeping? Are you really Ye Feng? You can't be possessed by aliens, right?" Chen Chufan stopped the movement in his hand, turned his head, looked at Ye Feng who was lying on the bed in surprise, and exclaimed gorgeously.
"A man, there are always a few days a month that are different from usual. Don't you understand this principle?" Ye Feng was not ashamed of the noise he usually was when Chen Chufan was sleeping, but instead took it as a matter of course.
"There are always a few days a month that is different from usual women! Are you?" Chen Chufan shook his head and responded casually, but Ye Feng, who was too lazy to pay attention to the fallacies, turned his head and continued to look at his website.
"Damn, I didn't realize that your thoughts are so evil! I just want to express my desire for peace today. You dare to misinterpret my meaning like this. You are so hooligan!" Ye Feng complained to Chen Chufan's back, then covered his head with the quilt and fell asleep on his own.
He really felt a little tired today. The main reason was that he was bored, who made him not interested in music!
In the eyes of a young man who has ideals and fearlessness, when he makes up his mind, everything will become very simple.
This is indeed the case.
When he got up the next day, Chen Chufan found Kailin. Under her guidance, Chen Chufan mailed the information required to declare copyright to the Copyright Office of M Country and began to prepare his singles. Since he was going to release a single, he could not play alone, and he needed the support of a band. However, this song was mainly accompanied by piano, and Chen Chufan was preparing to play in person, but he also needed a guitarist, a keyboard, and a drummer.
But this was a problem. Chen Chufan didn't even think about finding a school band he was not familiar with, but called back to Juliet and Lu Jia to mention this matter.
After hanging up the phone for ten minutes, Lu Jia's phone came back. The temporary band was done. The guitarist was Shen Bo, and the drummer was Kate Reese, the chief drummer of the Student Symphony Orchestra. Chen Chufan still remembered this guy, a child who was vulgar enough to a certain level. It is said that the cheating StarCraft competition held in the Juliet dormitory that night was the one who came up with the idea. The keyboardist was Ben Jace, a friend of Chen Chufan's former roommate Josen. Needless to say, in Lu Jia's words, others usually play this simple song with their eyes closed.
Not only has this temporary band been formed, but the time for the arrival was determined. On this Wednesday, Lu Jia will give them a trial of the song first, so that the recording will definitely be completed in one afternoon.
Before hanging up the phone, Lu Jia repeatedly told me that not only the three people from the temporary band were coming, but that he himself, Huang Yuanyuan and Qiao Sen also decided to come and see Xiao Chen together. So he reminded Chen Chufan to prepare the money and invite everyone to dinner.
Chen Chufan was very moved when he hung up Lu Jia's phone. Who said that the tea was cold? He had been away for so long and was still very appealing at Juliet's School. As for the trivial matters like having a meal, Chen Chufan of course agreed. Anyway, the school canteen is not very expensive. Even if there are ten or eight, he will not eat enough. Chen Chufan thought proudly.
Time passed quickly, and Wednesday arrived in a blink of an eye. The friends of Juliet School also arrived as scheduled. After a simple greeting, everyone, led by Kalyn, came to the school's recording studio.
This is the first time Chen Chufan came to the recording studio of the Berkeley Conservatory of Music. Various high-end recording equipment, dedicated microphones, a pure white grand piano on the dark brown floor, and later there are various musical instruments prepared in the recording studio, including guitars, bass, drums, and other instruments. All the decorations make the entire recording studio look very modern.
The closed doorkeeper's recording studio was two worlds. After just completing the audition work, Chen Chufan, who was already sitting in front of the piano, could only see his friends outside the studio giving a thumbs up and signaling him to cheer. Among them were Huang Yuanyuan, Lu Jia, Qiao Sen, who came from NY with the temporary band, as well as new friends he met at the Burke Conservatory, Karin and Ye Feng. There was also a more special girl, who was also the girl Chen Chufan didn't expect to come at all, Su Xiuqing.
The girl was standing tall and gracefully beside the tuner, smiling sweetly. This smile made Chen Chufan feel a little distracted, especially the girl was still wearing a V-neck dress, and the ravines faintly appeared on her chest made Chen Chufan think of the feeling of the ball that night, and even the urge to bleed from his nose.
Chen Chufan quickly withdrew his gaze, and with some guilt, he brought the headphones placed beside the piano, and used the movement of adjusting the microphone to hide his restlessness in his heart. Then he slowly calmed down and began to brew feelings, preparing to start recording soon.
The tuner is a friend Kaylin is looking for, and it is also the most awesome tuner at Burke Conservatory. He even recorded an album for a well-known star. In short, today's lineup is absolutely luxurious. Now the tuner named Andy has also brought headphones and signaled to Chen Chufan that he is ready.
As usual, Chen Chufan took a deep breath, closed his eyes and placed his fingers on the piano keyboard.
The song started with a short piece of piano solo and guitar. When the music sounded, Chen Chufan had temporarily put aside all his distractions and sang them affectionately.
“IcantbelievImstandinghere”
The tender voice at the beginning of the song came out from the unique sound outside the recording studio. Everyone outside the recording studio stopped their movements and began to listen quietly. Although their voices did not affect the recording process, everyone was very quiet at this time. Even Ye Feng, who had always jumped away, had a quiet and solemn look on his face at this time.
Although he stayed together every day, Ye Feng, who was not interested in music, had never been curious about the songs prepared by Chen Chufan. So today was the first time he heard this English song written by his roommate who had been with him day and night. Although the tenderness at the beginning of the song was not the style he liked, the beautiful melody still made him secretly praise it. Although he didn't understand music very much, even with his shallow understanding, he felt that his brother's unique and slightly magnetic voice added a lot to this affectionate song.
Su Xiuqing, who was standing beside the tuner, was a little distracted when Chen Chufan's singing rang. Her mood was very complicated at this time. When she learned from Huang Yuanyuan that they were going to see Chen Chufan from Burke Conservatory of Music, she asked to come with them by chance. After saying that, she didn't even know what the impulse was.
Huang Yuanyuan looked at her with a smile and made her shy. She lost her usual calmness. She turned to fight with Huang Yuanyuan to hide her panic. But that night, she couldn't sleep in the bed. The shadow of the lazy boy was shaking in her mind. When she met on the first day, she was eating voraciously on the dining table. When she first chatted, she misinterpreted the story of Cinderella and quietly told herself about his love story in the summer night forest. The scenes that clearly flashed in her mind made her feel a little frightened. Why did she remember so clearly? Why did she suddenly want to see him? Could this be love?
But he has a girlfriend!
Yes, he has a girlfriend. At this moment, outside the studio, Su Xiuqing's eyes were placed on Chen Chufan's face, who was singing selflessly through the spotless glass window. Listening to Chen Chufan's singing in his ears, the girl even felt that she could hear the shadow of another girl from this affectionate song. She was very cute and straightforward, liked to jump and act coquettishly in that boy's arms.
A tuner who seemed very focused was very leisurely at this time. He held the headphones with one hand and his head swayed slightly to the rhythm of the music. Occasionally, he would use his other hand to lightly adjust the rotating button on the control board in front of him.
From his professional perspective, the singers in the studio have done well enough. They have clear pronunciation, standard tone, pure and beautiful tone, and full of emotions. All he needs to do is to make the song more perfect. This is as simple as breathing for him, and naturally there is no need to concentrate. He can even take time to appreciate this new song that has not been released yet.
In his opinion, Chen Chufan in the recording studio was not like Kailin's description at all. Many famous singers did not perform like this.
Others outside the recording studio were also trapped in the tenderness created by Chen Chufan with his unique voice. Even Huang Yuanyuan, who always likes to show off her evil spirits, rarely showed a gentle look, not to mention Lu Jia, who arranged the song. He was moved by himself. Although the melody was not created by him, it was modified by him and all the chords were composed by him. At this time, listening to Chen Chufan's singing and the accompaniment of the band, he couldn't help but praise himself in his mind. It turned out that the pop song he composed was so perfect!
