Chapter 120

"Title: Eat melons and discuss/Pretty girl went to see her younger sister's performance!"

"Next week is the finals, today is their last tour, pretty girl is also down there, what a magical feeling!"

"[Picture]"

"Wearing a hat and mask, but still very conspicuous, eyes lit up by the stage lights, like a puppy."

Comment area:

"I can't figure out that they are brother and sister."

"I thought they would interact or cheer for each other, but sjyl really didn't let her go, the boy never came out from beginning to end."

"So cute, plm is a little puppy who is brave enough to enter the entertainment industry!"

"They look more like brother and sister."

"Then is the news that they were going to assist in the performance true or false?"

"Reply: It must be false, they don't have time to practice, and the others just finished their exams today."

"They both look like this, so my parents-in-law must be very good-looking too, one is my husband, and the other is also my husband."

Pei Luming was photographed backstage at this time. He has been to this venue many times, but this time he felt particularly unfamiliar, especially when he saw Pei Zhiping dressed in exquisite clothes, the feeling was even stronger.

Pei Zhiping walked in with big strides, with a high ponytail, and a pink and white stage costume of a coarse floral vest. There was also a big bow on her waist. When she walked, the bow behind her was like a swinging tail.

It should have been a very pleasing scene, but the expressions of the two people were full of disgust and reluctance.

Seeing her coming, Pei Luming quickly took out his phone and turned around, turned on the selfie mode and pointed it at the two of them, and said to the person behind him, "Hurry up."

Identification photos are a tradition in their family.

Because the two of them always quarrel and pull hair, and their parents are always on business trips, so their mother would ask them to take some photos to prove that they have a good relationship recently and have not quarreled.

At the moment the shutter was pressed, both of them forced a smile and their eyes narrowed deliberately, but the smile only lasted for a second. After putting down the phone, they returned to the state of mutual dislike.

"Mom said they won't be able to come back on the day of your finals." Pei Luming put the phone back into his pocket, glanced at her outfit and frowned, "Do you have to wear so little?"

Pei Zhiping was wearing suspenders and shorts, but the only thing that covered Hun the most was the long boots on her legs.

She thought Pei Luming was going to start lecturing her about dressing, and just as she was about to roll her eyes, she heard Pei Luming say

, "Be careful not to catch a cold. I'm telling you, if you catch a cold now, you'll be possessed by a broken whistle in the finals, and you'll be screwed." Although it wasn't a sermon in that direction, Pei Zhiping didn't like to hear it, "Just take care of yourself. You've always been the one who gets sick since you were a child."

As she spoke, she looked up and down at Pei Luming, who was wearing a goose yellow sleeveless shirt. Because it was summer, the venue had air conditioning on, but it was still quite cold backstage. Pei Zhiping was just wearing a blanket, and she didn't know if Pei Luming, who was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, was cold.

Pei Luming choked, "...I'm leaving."

"Bye." Pei Zhiping said and left.

The staff who had been passing by in the corridor also noticed the brother and sister, but there were many people backstage at this time, and there were even more family and friends of the trainees.

Pei Zhiping left, but Pei Luming couldn't leave. He was stopped by the trainees' family and friends and wanted to take a photo. He had been walking for ten minutes, and when he looked back, he was still there.

I don't know if Pei Zhiping's crow mouth was very effective, Pei Luming felt a little uncomfortable in his throat when he woke up the next day.

Sitting on the bed, he even wanted to die.

Because today's schedule is recording, and Jiang Zhihui will be there during the recording.

In the slightly dim recording studio, Jiang Juyu, who arrived early, was chatting with the producer and engineer. When the time was almost up, someone opened the door and came in.

The three people looked at the door and saw Yao Shu and Pei Luming coming in.

"Hello, teacher, good afternoon..." The two walked in while bowing, holding the lyrics paper in their hands.

The album was produced long in advance, and they had already listened to the songs. Even most of the demos were sung by Yao Shuo and Pei Luming, but because the voice condition may change, or the lyrics and melody in the middle may change, so their recording has not started until two months before the album is released.

When the two came in, they were holding thermos cups in their hands, especially Pei Luming. I don't know where he found such a big old cadre thermos cup, and he has been holding it in his arms.

"How are you today?" Jiang Juyu asked casually.

Yao Shuo touched his throat and said, "Not bad."

Pei Luming next to him felt a little guilty and blinked several times before saying, "...Not bad."

Jiang Juyou nodded, and the producer of the show also said, "Come in when you're ready, Yao Shuo first."

In order to attract fans, idol groups choose main songs that are mostly performance-oriented. Whether it is the arrangement of the song or the mood, they need to give way to the dance. Many main songs have already established their identities before they are even produced. They will sacrifice some musicality and use more brainwashing and easy-to-choreograph melodies.

The main song of Timetrain's debut album is like this. The chorus melody is simple, the lyrics are catchy, and coupled with the concept of the song and their youthful vitality, it is easy to get out of the circle.

Their title song is still a popular background music on TikTok. You can often see some high school and college students recording dance videos to this song on the playground at sunset.

It even has a nickname, called the confession prelude. The appearance of this song on TikTok generally means that you are about to confess your feelings or have a crush on someone.

Fast dance music can easily become popular because of its performance, but slow songs may not.

If a song with a slower melody is used as the title song, then its popularity will definitely be discounted, even a very low level.

It was a risky move for Jiang Juyu to choose this song as the title song. If the previous programs and debut album did not bring them attention, then this album would be digging its own grave.

But it is precisely because of the popularity and public attention accumulated in the past that Jiang Juyou chose this album as his first comeback work.

It is only because its musicality is high enough and the songs are of high quality.

The title song "Unknown Nation" is a post-rock song. The early morning sadness created by the light atmosphere can hit the mood immediately.

It is like being wrapped in anxiety and seeing the early morning after a sleepless night. The unique silence of the gray sky before the sun rises is a song that can heal people and resonate with people.

Yao Shuo, who was ready, was already standing in the recording studio. He put the cup of water aside, put on the headphones, cleared his throat several times, and even uttered a few "ah" sounds to warm up his voice.

Jiang Juyou outside turned on the intercom switch and said to Yao Shu inside: "Play it first, sing along, find the feeling, and warm up your voice."

Yao Shu inside nodded, "Okay."

The music started, the electric guitar sounded twice, and the slowly played melody was like the waves hitting the shore in the middle of the night, pushing the depressed mood.

But this song is not depressing, but the feeling of trying to cheer up and save yourself after depression.

The demo contains the sound recorded by Yao Shu at the beginning of the year. He listened to the melody, hummed a few sentences, and waited until his part before singing seriously.

"I'm freaky. I can't fit in with the group. I want to escape from this gray building."

"What I can be. I have no emotions. When can I get out of this predicament?"

Pei Luming outside was also practicing quietly. He looked at the lyrics paper in his hand. When he was immersed in the music, he was also slightly touched by the lyrics.

The general atmosphere and theme of almost every song of theirs were determined by Jiang Juyou. He even participated in the lyrics of many songs, basically all of which were written by him.

This title song was completed independently by Jiang Juyou. Just from the lyrics, you can imagine a scene.

"No one is born to be what it should be. Maybe I should leave this suffocating place."

No one is born this way.

"The train is about to leave and go to that strange place."

One sentence connects the concept of their group and the concept of publicity.

The closer it got to the end, the higher the mood of the song became, like a train speeding along the seashore, with only the excitement of arriving at a new country.

When it was almost the Bridge part, the song had already set off "fireworks", and this part was also the part with the highest notes Yao Shuo had ever sung.

Pei Luming, who was outside, got goosebumps all over his body after hearing Yao Shuo's high notes, and his scalp was tingling with pleasure.

The producer and Jiang Juyu, who were sitting in front of the computer, also cheered a little, and seemed to be very satisfied with this high note.

The two also said:

"Did you record it?"

"Keep this one."

"You're in good shape today!"

Pei Luming froze again when he heard the word "shape".

It took Yao Shu more than two hours to record, and there were some chorus parts that he had to wait until other members finished recording before he could fill in, so the workload today was not much.

After he finished recording, it was Pei Luming's turn. Pei Luming got up from the sofa, swallowed, and drank several sips of water before going in.

After going in, the producer outside was telling Pei Luming about the pronunciation points to pay attention to when singing. Pei Luming wore headphones and nodded in a daze.

Suddenly, he coughed a few times. Jiang Juyou outside frowned immediately after hearing it, "Do you have a cold?"

"... A little bit." Pei Luming didn't dare to look at the face of the person outside when he said it.

The next second, Jiang Zhi's slightly depressed voice sounded, "Try it first. If it doesn't work, wait a few days until you feel better and then record again."

"Okay, I'll try it first." Pei Luming responded quickly.

He stood up and closed his eyes, cursing Pei Zhiping in his heart.

Crow mouth.
