MTL - Freelance Artist-Chapter 16 Zhang Xiyang

  Chapter 16 Zhang Xiyang

  When he arrived at the 13th Music Department, Lin Zhibai went to the recording studio to wait for others. He and the sound engineer were basically familiar with each other after recording songs for a few days last time.

   "Teacher Baidi!"

  When the sound engineer saw Lin Zhibai coming, he quickly got up and greeted him enthusiastically.

  Bai Di was still a rookie when recording "Dissipating Sorrow". When the two met today, the other party had already placed second in the season rankings last month. The sound engineer was naturally enthusiastic.

   "Old Wang."

  Lin Zhibai also greeted the other party with a smile, and the sound engineer called himself Lao Wang.

  After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Zhibai took out the rough sample that had been exported from the system, and discussed with the other party the points that should be paid attention to when recording later.

   not long.

  Old Wang suddenly looked outside from a distance, his expression changed, and he muttered subconsciously:

   "He didn't come to audition, did he..."

  Lin Zhibai followed Lao Wang's gaze and was slightly taken aback.

   There are employees and entertainers who come and go in Shinhwa Entertainment, but no matter whether they are employees or entertainers, most of them attach great importance to their appearance.

  But the man who was walking outside had messy hair and a beard that hadn't been shaved for a long time. Although the clothes were neat, the clothes had been washed and faded, and they didn't fit in with the surrounding environment.

   "Who is this?" Lin Zhibai asked.

   "He is Zhang Xiyang, a very popular first-line singer three years ago, but now he is no longer recognized by passers-by on the street, which is a pity." Old Wang smacked his lips.

"so."

  Lin Zhibai was not in the mood to pay attention to gossip in the entertainment industry during the three years when he was autistic. It seems that he will have to find time to learn more about singers in the future.

   "What happened to him?"

   "I don't know the specific details. Anyway, Zhang Xiyang hasn't heard much since the divorce, and he rarely shows up in the company. I heard that he plants flowers and grass at home when he has nothing to do. It seems like a different person."

   At this time.

  Zhang Xiyang had already arrived at the door of the recording studio, and knocked on the door lightly, his voice slightly vicissitudes.

   "Excuse me, is Teacher Baidi here?"

   "I am Baidi."

  Lin Zhibai was a little embarrassed. He also thought about how to understand the stage name his sister gave him so that it would have connotations.

  Is it the Baidi in Li Bai's "Chaoci Baidi Caiyunjian"?

   Or the Baidi in Du Fu's "White Emperor City Zhongyun Goes Out, Baidi City Rains and Pots"?

   In the end, I couldn’t fool myself.

  My sister doesn't know these poems at all. The so-called Baidi is my sister's "Baidi", although at first it sounds like a little bit of middle school.

   "Hey, Teacher Baidi, hello."

  Zhang Xiyang looked a little rough on the outside, and his attitude towards Lin Zhibai was not very enthusiastic, but he was also polite.

   "Hello, first familiarize yourself with the song."

  Lin Zhibai didn't talk nonsense, so he directly took out the score and let the other party read it first. My sister is already arranging the copyright registration of the song, so there is no need to worry about leakage.

"OK."

  Zhang Xiyang took the score and looked at it.

   After watching for about a minute, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Zhibai:

   "This is...you wrote it?"

   It seemed that he felt a little abrupt, and he apologized a little, "I'm sorry, I was just a little surprised that Mr. Baidi could write such a song at such a young age."

   Paused, he spoke again:

   "I...can sing."

   "You won't know until you sing."

  Lin Zhibai smiled slightly, "Lao Wang started work."

"okay!"

  The shed opens and the lights come on.

  Zhang Xiyang walked in slowly with the score.

  Standing in front of the microphone, Zhang Xiyang didn't start singing immediately, but just looked at the score in his hand in a daze.

   Listening room.

  Old Wang frowned, "Why haven't you started yet?"

  Lin Zhibai didn't speak, he felt that Zhang Xiyang was "few", although he didn't know why these two words popped up in his mind.

   After a while.

  Zhang Xiyang said with a complicated expression: "I've been brewing for a long time. For me, this song is a bit...Now it's time to start. I'm ready."

  Lin Zhibai made an "ok" gesture through the glass.

  Zhang Xiyang took a deep breath.

  The next moment, his singing sounded.

  A cappella without any accompaniment, a sentence of lyrics spit out from his mouth.

  Although the melody is not familiar enough, and I feel a little stumbled, it makes me feel a little sour when I listen to it.

   "Zhang Xiyang is still the same Zhang Xiyang."

  Old Wang muttered: "What do you think, Teacher Baidi?"

  Lin Zhibai said without hesitation: "Of course it is through the glass."

  Pharaoh laughed.

  Lin Zhibai continued to listen to the song without interrupting the other party.

  The other party sang more and more smoothly, and finally sang the whole song in the studio.

  After singing the last sentence, he suddenly said:

   "Teacher Baidi."

   "You said."

"Is it me?"

  Zhang Xiyang looked at Lin Zhibai, something else seemed to be shining in his eyes.

  Lin Zhibai smiled: "The more official answer is, you can go back and wait for the notification."

   Then.

  Lin Zhibai said: "The private answer is, it's just you."

"Thanks."

  Zhang Xiyang actually bowed deeply.

  Lin Zhibai gently turned half of his body sideways. After all, he is not the real creator of this song.

  …

  Lin Zhibai didn’t intend to explore Zhang Xiyang’s story. He just needed to confirm that the other party was the voice he was looking for. Of course, the next few people who came to audition also listened.

   Enter the sister's office.

  Lin Zhibai told Lin Xi about her decision to choose Zhang Xiyang, but her sister's expression became a little weird:

   "Zhang Xiyang?"

"Any questions?"

   "Of course there is no problem. He is now a member of our thirteenth department, and he is indeed capable. If he was willing to sing well back then, he might be able to compete for the king of singers."

   said.

Lin Xi laughed: "He seldom came to the company after the divorce, and his career has been ruined a lot. Last year, he had a big fight with the third department. I simply applied to the higher-ups and transferred his contract to the thirteenth department. .”

  Lin Zhibai was surprised: "Three parts?"

  Lin Xi said lightly: "Zhang Xiyang used to be a member of the third department."

   "That's it."

   "Aren't you curious about the reason for his divorce?"

   "Will it affect the release of this song?"

   "Of course not. He just can't live on. It's a normal divorce, but judging by his state after marriage, he is a kind of love."

   "That's it."

  Lin Zhibai is not interested in gossip, perhaps it is those stories that can sing the feeling of this song.

  Lin Xi waved his small hand and said, "Then we will record tomorrow. If it goes well, we can send it on the third day. We will run into the venue as you said."

"Um."

  Lin Xi said again: "When the song is finished recording, I'll listen to it."

  Lin Zhibai said: "You don't need to wait until the recording is finished. He sang it in one breath just now. I asked Lao Wang to keep it. Although the first version is not so familiar, I like it."

   "Then let me listen!"

  Lin Xi suddenly became interested.

  Lin Zhibai said: "Old Wang sent it to my phone, so you can just wear headphones and listen to it. Of course, this version is rough."

"Um."

  Lin Xi put on the headphones and started listening to the song.

  Lin Zhibai looked at his sister's office curiously.

  My sister’s office is very big, and it’s very clean. There are a series of professional headphones and audio equipment neatly stacked in the room, and a family portrait is placed on the desktop.

  Lin Zhibai has an impression of this family portrait.

  This family portrait was taken three years ago. At that time, Lin Zhibai was only fourteen years old, standing in front of his parents, hugging his brother and sister, with a dazzling smile.

  Looking at the brightly smiling self in the photo, Lin Zhibai suddenly felt as if he had passed away.

  Maybe he was fascinated by looking at the family portrait.

  Lin Zhibai didn't notice that his sister had finished listening to the song and was looking at his back.

   "Xiao Hei."

"Um?"

  Lin Zhibai turned his head subconsciously, only to find that his sister's eyes were red, and his heart skipped a beat.

"What’s wrong with you?"

   "After listening to the song, I suddenly wondered what the past three years have brought you."

  Lin Zhibai was taken aback, and immediately understood what his sister meant.

  She attributed her ability to write such a song to her three-year experience, even though the lyrics were written about love on the surface.

  You don’t listen to Li Zongsheng when you are young...

   That sentence that is widely circulated in the Chinese music circle may have some truth.

  Lin Zhibai suddenly showed his sister a bright smile like when he was taking a family portrait back then.

   People are always more willing to believe that:

  He must have experienced something to become what he was later.

  If a logical and self-consistent explanation is necessary for this song "Song for Myself", let me think that I am no longer a teenager in those three years.
