Xu Yanyu was quite certain that Gao Lichang's voice and singing skills were quite good, but the problem was that his overly gentle style didn't match the style of the song.
She can't just find someone else to collaborate with because their styles don't match.
Gao Lichang shook his head and replied, "I don't always sing love songs. The songs I wrote in the past were quite varied."
He sighed and continued, "I only changed my style after my wife's incident."
My wife passed away at that time, and I wrote a song and sang it myself. It went viral online.
So I thought people liked listening to me sing love songs, and I thought love songs suited me better.
Ah Tao, standing next to him, chimed in, "Old Gao used to be good at so many different styles. He could rap, he could throat sing, and he could also sing rock and folk songs..."
“Yes, Lao Gao’s singing skills are definitely not a problem,” the others chimed in.
Xu Yanyu nodded slowly.
That would make things much easier.
She took out her phone and said to Gao Lichang, "Why don't you tell me which song made you famous before? I want to listen to it."
"I'll play it for you." Gao Lichang quickly played his hit song.
Xu Yanyu listened for a moment, and then finally realized where the problem lay.
Gao Lichang's signature song is very touching; it's filled with pure, deep emotion.
Through his singing, she could feel the heart-wrenching emotions he was experiencing at that time.
The song became popular not so much because of Gao Lichang's voice, but because of the emotions it conveyed.
However, it's difficult to feel the same level of emotion in some of the songs Gao Lichang sings now.
It even exposed some flaws in his voice.
Despite having a somewhat grand and bold voice, she has always relied on technique to sing love songs.
Even with his excellent singing skills, it's hard for him to impress people.
Xu Yanyu didn't want to say it outright, so she thought for a moment and said, "How about we change our singing style, Brother Gao?"
“Sure! I’ll listen to you. I’ll go along with whatever you think sounds best.” Gao Lichang had no reason to object.
This song was written by Xu Yanyu, who knows better than him how to perform it better.
He was also very happy to be able to sing well.
Xu Yanyu took a pen out of her bag, then picked up her piece of paper and began to scribble, "Your voice needs to be fuller here, and we need to add some breath here. Use your throat singing style..."
Gao Lichang nodded repeatedly and took out his pen to write down Xu Yanyu's words.
Several people stood nearby listening to their analysis of the song.
When Xu Yanyu reached a key point in her drawing, she would stop and demonstrate it to Gao Lichang.
At this moment, she once again thanked the system's singing skill book, which allowed her to completely control the situation.
The others listened to Xu Yanyu's male vocal part and looked at Gao Lichang.
Ah Tao said, "Brother Gao can sing this style. He has written similar songs for others before."
Kao Li-chang also affirmed, "I have no problem with this singing style."
Xu Yanyu finally felt relieved.
As long as he can sing, the rest is easy to solve.
Next, Gao Lichang would occasionally sing a few lines at Xu Yanyu's request.
After he finishes singing, he looks at the crowd and waits for their feedback.
If you have any questions, please point them out directly.
Following the guidance of others, Gao Lichang continued practicing.
Finally, even Ah Zhong said, "Old Gao, I think you can't keep sticking to one style. The past is the past, we need to look forward. You should try new songs and new styles."
Ah-chung had always believed that Kao Li-chang wrote songs to commemorate his deceased wife.
Gao Lichang smiled but didn't say anything.
After practicing for several hours, Gao Lichang finally confirmed that there were no problems on his end.
Xu Yanyu rubbed her stiff neck and said, "Then let's go straight to the recording equipment."
They had sung together a few times earlier, and Xu Yanyu felt it was time to start recording.
Ah Zhong and the others shouted, "Okay, okay! Let's go to the recording studio. We can call it a day after we finish singing."
As it turned out, the hours they spent were not in vain.
Xu Yanyu and Gao Lichang sang it a few times before finalizing the version.
Xu Yanyu couldn't help but smile.
Finding people to sing and record a song with is really not easy.
This is all thanks to Gao Lichang's singing skills and high comprehension.
The newly recorded song started playing in their ears, and Ah Zhong and the others clapped along to the rhythm.
"If I hadn't been watching Lao Gao record, I would have found it hard to believe that this was Lao Gao singing." Ah Zhong shook his head and swayed to the rhythm of the music.
Atao rested her chin on her hand and said seriously, "I feel that Lao Gao is more suited to this style of music."
"Old Gao, once this song is released, you'll be a sensation! You're definitely going to be a huge star again. What's this called, an old tree sprouting new buds?"
"Haha, Lao Gao has found his second spring," Ah Zhong teased.
Gao Lichang glared at them a few times and asked what they meant by "second spring".
Ah Zhong must be illiterate, otherwise why would he misuse words?
Gao Lichang said, "It's all thanks to Yan Yu's excellent songwriting and her correct guidance!"
"Yes, yes, Yan Yu, you sing really well. Don't you still have several songs that you haven't recorded yet?"
"Should we record all your songs here?" Ah Zhong asked Xu Yanyu.
Atao chimed in, "I really like your song 'Laughter in the Mortal World'."
Although there are many cover versions online, I don't think any of them sound as good as the one you sang in your live stream.
Looking back, I think it would have been better if there had been an original version.
