Chapter 324 The Chen Jiahui Era
In a community in Hong Kong City.
Singer Deng Yan, who has collaborated with Chen Jiahui, is doing laundry at home. As a veteran female singer, her life is not easy. The main reason is that in the music industry, except for some very powerful singers who are still popular in the market, they are all beautiful.
And the handsome young singer reigns.
Maybe.
Their singing skills are not good.
But now the market is all about efficiency.
What is efficiency!?
The quality of the song does not necessarily have to be high, but the singer must be topical and have high traffic.
These characteristics are precisely what Deng Yan does not possess. Her most glorious moment in the past two years was because she sang the theme song "Dream Chaser" from "If There is Love".
But the popularity of that song lasted for a while and then gradually disappeared.
Fans can't always listen to just one song, but she also gained a lot from that song and made a lot of money. It's just because she has a bad habit of stock trading that she lost almost the same amount of money she made from that song.
.
Occasionally, her agent would arrange for her to perform in commercials.
But what to say!?
As an aging female singer gets married, her commercial value is naturally greatly reduced, and the advertising fee is naturally not too high. It only costs 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per performance, which is not available every day.
now.
Her home stereo was playing Li En's "Qian Qian Que Song" on a loop. When she first listened to this song, she was really shocked. It was not how good this singer Li En sang.
But the lyrics are so artistic.
Especially in the old Gangcheng dialect, Deng Yan’s favorite part came from the speaker, saying: "The coming day will be like thousands of songs, floating with me on the distant road, the coming day will be like thousands of evening stars, shining brighter than tonight
moon……"
The sound reached Deng Yan's ears, and she couldn't help but hum along.
As a veteran singer and an out-and-out Hong Kong native, she loved this song to the core, so even though she disliked this Korean artist very much, she couldn't help but buy it.
She also knew what was happening in the music industry these days, but she did not make any comments. After all, this was a song written by Mr. Chen himself. He could give it to whomever he wanted. This was his personal freedom.
But deep down in her heart, she, like other singers, regrets some of the songs written by Chen Jiahui.
If I leave it to someone else to sing with a voice suitable for these lyrics and styles, then the music world will have a few more songs that will be regarded as classics in ten, twenty or even thirty years.
At this time.
There was a knock on the door of her living room.
Deng Yan quickly wiped the water off her hands and opened the door. When she saw the person coming, she smiled and said, "What!? There's another announcement!?"
It's no one else.
It is her agent Yu Qing.
"No"
Yu Qing walked into Deng Yan's house with a smile.
"Come without you"
Deng Yan joked, then walked into the kitchen and poured her a glass of water.
"How is your relationship with Chen Jiahui!?"
Taking the water glass, Yu Qing asked with a smile.
"What can I have to do with him?"
Deng Yan shook her head helplessly and said, "Last time, "Dream Chaser" fell into my hands because of Director Guan's introduction, but we only worked together once. We have no contact in private, and we have never even met in person.
"
"I got Chen Jiahui's number from Director Guan."
Yu Qing took a sip of water, and then started talking about business, saying, "Why don't you take the initiative to call and see if you can get a song appointment from him?"
"This doesn't fit!"
Deng Yan thought for a while and said, "He and I are really not familiar with each other. If I interrupt him rashly, others might be offended. Besides, I heard that he is busy filming now and has no time to write songs."
"You are looking down on Chen Jiahui. This guy is really talented. Before I came here, I heard from people in the industry that Guan Xiao went to the recording studio whenever she had free time in the past two days. Chen Jiahui helped her write a song. It is said that
The lyrics are of high quality”
Yu Qing said, "So Sister Deng, this is a rare opportunity. If you don't take the initiative, Chen Jiahui will not think of you even if he has a good song in his hand. If you take the initiative, maybe he will refuse or help you write one too."
"Then let me try!?"
Deng Yan was also a little hesitant.
After all, the quality of the songs that Chen Jiahui threw out were all top-notch. Just because the singer was a Korean artist, if it were another singer, even if he got one, he would be able to enjoy it for a long time.
"Try it!"
Yu Qing took out her mobile phone, pulled out a number and handed it to Deng Yan, saying, "You have collaborated before, and Chen Jiahui is very positive about your singing skills."
Deng Yan looked at the number on her phone.
She hesitated for a long time, and finally dialed the number under Yu Qing's gaze.
Not much time passed.
Chen Jiahui's voice came from the mobile phone, asking, "Hello! Who is this!?"
"Mr. Chen, I am Deng Yan, do you still remember me?"
Deng Yan took a deep breath and spoke with a smile. Then she was stunned for a moment because Chen Jiahui on the other end of the phone called "Sister Deng." She only heard Chen Jiahui say, "It turns out to be Sister Deng. Do you also want to buy from me?"
A song!?"
Chen Jiahui smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll give you a song as a gift! I sang "Dream Chaser" very well last time."
For a while.
Deng Yan had an unreal feeling.
Before she even opened her mouth, Chen Jiahui offered to give her a song.
If she were twenty years younger, she might have thought that Chen Jiahui had something in mind for her. However, at her current age, it was obviously not the case. Chen Jiahui took the initiative to give her a song, which was a favor.
This favor was so heavy that Deng Yan didn't know how to repay it, so she quickly said, "Mr. Chen, forget it, I'll give you the money! You tell me the price."
“Give me money and I won’t write anymore.”
Chen Jiahui smiled and said, "The main reason is that I have no plans to develop in this direction. It's just you and Guan Xiao calling me. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't necessarily give it."
"That……"
Deng Yan no longer knew how to speak.
Many people in the industry say that Chen Jiahui is a difficult person to get along with. More than 20 singers in the music industry have spoken out, but he only replied to a comment "I decide my songs" and then ignored these singers, including the diva.
However.
Just because she sang in a movie starring him, she was given a song directly.
Is it difficult to get along with such a person!?
Maybe.
He is just more unique.
"No thanks, I'll send it to you later!"
Chen Jiahui smiled and hung up the phone on his own initiative. Then he edited "If the Wine Is Dried" into a text message and sent it several times before sending the entire song to Deng Yan.
After reading the lyrics.
Deng Yan’s hands were shaking while holding the mobile phone.
This song... simply describes everything about life. It is hard to imagine that Chen Jiahui, who is only in his twenties, would have such a sentiment. Sensing Deng Yan's strange lingering feelings, he quickly stuck his head out and looked down at the screen of his mobile phone.
"This...this"
Yu Qing was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
"I believe there are geniuses in this world. Chen Jiahui's lyric writing ability is comparable to the top lyricists in Hong Kong. Moreover, his voice is very good, his vocal range is very wide, and he is very malleable."
