Chapter 44: Cicada 3



Open your eyes

But I can't get rid of the lingering feeling you left behind

I strive to move forward

Just to see the sky outside the pupa

"Zhou Tianhua's song 'Pupa Movement' is really good. It seems to be about a cicada just crawling out of its pupa, but it actually talks about escaping the pain of a broken heart and finding a new life."

In the compartment, Xu Linling carefully analyzed three songs for Yan Zi. She had to find the emotional tone for each song, and then communicated with Feng Xiaoyun and the accompaniment to determine the arrangement style and what instruments to use.

Sister Chen nodded in satisfaction. Xu Linling grew up in Tianfeng Entertainment. She was influenced by her surroundings and had a very keen sense of music. She also accumulated a lot of experience in making albums at Weiner. In fact, her skills were no less than those of famous music producers.

Even because of her age advantage, she can inject more youthful and fresh elements into the music.

Xue Congfu himself didn't know that his actions had led to the creation of such a wonderful combination of Yan Zi and Xu Linling.

Yan Zi and Xu Linling are both deeply devoted to their work, especially their shared love of music. Although they often disagree, these are often over musical style and form. After some debate, they always reach a consensus.

After analyzing the first two songs, we finally came to the third song, "Birds and Cicadas".

Xu Linling knew that Feng Xiaoyun had written a third song, but she didn't know what it was about.

After watching the entire song, Xu Linling rarely spoke.

This song tells a story about unrequited love.

Will the youthfulness that best matches first love only appear in the fifth season?

The empty bottle for making wishes will not appear until the thirteenth month.

All the longings on the northern latitude were blown away by the monsoon.

I don’t know why, but after listening to the whole song, Xu Linling actually felt a sense of sadness and loss.

But at the same time, Feng Xiaoyun's talent made her even more fascinated.

"Let's play this song first!" Xu Linling looked up: "Let's discuss the arrangement of the first two songs with Feng Xiaoyun and the others."

For a moment, Xu Linling really didn't know how to interpret this song.

Yan Zi didn't know what Xu Linling was thinking, but since they had to record it anyway, she had no objection to discussing the first two songs first.

In this way, the recording of this EP album named "Cicada 3" proceeded in an orderly manner.

During this period, Xue Congfu did not cause any more trouble. This was originally a test from him, but Xu Linling seemed to have no intention of taking the challenge. She took charge of the album herself without an album producer, and found a accompaniment band from outside if she didn't have one.

This made Xue Congfu feel like he had punched cotton. At the same time, he couldn't figure out Xu Linling's thoughts, so he didn't use any rash means. Instead, he turned around and put all his energy into a newcomer named Guan Yue.

This is the new artist she chose to compete with Yan Zi. He will also release a digital EP album with three songs. From album producer to lyrics and composer, they are all top names in the industry that Xue Congfu found with his own resources. He is determined to make Yan Zi's album perform better.

It took four days to finally record the accompaniment tapes for the three songs.

Brother Cao and his companions can be considered to have retired with honor. In addition to Xu Linling paying them a generous reward from the Tianfeng public account, Feng Xiaoyun also gave each of them a big red envelope in the name of Yan Zi.

Just based on the thickness of the red envelope, Brother Cao and his friends promised that if they had any problems in the future, they would just tell them.

When it came to the recording session, Xu Linling also tried her best to let everyone see her professionalism.

"Yanzi, pay attention to using breathy sounds when switching between true and false voices here. That's right, you want the audience to hear the sound of your breathing to express your helpless emotion."

"Don't sing this line with chest resonance. Sing it directly with your throat. A little hoarseness is best."

During the entire subsequent recording process, she was responsible for all the work including recording, tuning, reverberation, etc.

As Yan Zi watched Xu Linling's excellent performance, his originally cold personality was actually aroused with a bit of competitive spirit. Unwilling to accept defeat, Yan Zi performed better and better in the subsequent recordings.

All three songs were recorded in nine days.

"Ah, it's finally over. I'm so tired, so exhausted."

Xu Linling took off her monitoring headphones and jumped up excitedly.

For more than a week, the four of them stayed in the recording studio every day, and even their meals were taken out by Feng Xiaoyun. Well, I don’t know where he ordered it from, but although they were all ordinary meals, they tasted amazing.

The subtle and invisible rivalry between Xu Linling and Yan Zi, and the suppressed anger of several people after being tripped up by Xue Congfu, were all transformed into their all-out efforts during the recording process.

Yan Zi also took off his headphones and walked out of the recording studio.

"Thank you, Xu Linling."

She could feel Xu Linling secretly competing with her, and she knew why.

However, she also saw Xu Linling's efforts during the recording process and did not slack off because of other factors.

Xu Linling was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.

"It's okay. Now that the recording is over, the big star should treat us to a good meal, right?" After spending a long time with Feng Xiaoyun, the jokes they made unconsciously took on Feng's style.

"Okay, let's go to Qiansheng Building. There are a lot of popular restaurants there that are pretty good. We can go shopping after we finish eating."

"Oh, you mentioned shopping, and I'm not sleepy anymore. Let's go, I haven't been shopping in a long time. It's still early now. If we go quickly, we can still shop for more than an hour before dinner time."
