Chapter 215: Building a Girl Group

Chapter 215: Building a Girl Group

Tokyo Yan Records.

Lin Zhixing's fingertips jumped rapidly on the piano keys, and the passionate and dynamic melody filled the entire office.

The song from "Lichunyuan" was not used!

Dong Chen was listening to this unfamiliar and dynamic song, and while he was being moved by it, he glanced at his childhood friend who was staring at the stunned look on his face, and felt secretly happy.

"Brother Lin really makes me proud! He can even come up with music for a photo album. His ability to improvise is incredible!"

When the performance was in full swing and very charming, Lin Zhixing suddenly stopped by covering the strings with his hands.

The original opening theme song of "Tokyo Fever" is 1 minute and 21 seconds long, but he only played it for more than half a minute. Because he always fast-forwarded the song back then, he was not very familiar with the rest of the song and was afraid that it would affect the overall playing effect.

“Okay, great!”

Dong Chen applauded, nudged Guo Qian with his shoulder, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Qian, how is it?"

“It’s quite a skill.”

Guo Qian gave a thumbs up. When Kameda Ichiro said that the Chinese singer wanted to collaborate on a Japanese song, he didn't believe that he had the ability. It was Kameda Ichiro who recommended him that he decided to meet him. He didn't expect that he was really good.

"Can you please sing a short excerpt of the song you want to collaborate on?"

"no problem."

It was natural to showcase the selling points of the song, so Lin Zhixing readily agreed and then plucked the strings.

【bite!】

The system prompt sound suddenly sounded.

[System tasks are unlocked at a medium difficulty level. Impress Guo Qian with songs. Complete the task and you will be rewarded with a random song from Earth! ]

Medium difficulty?

Then you have to sing it well.

The soothing and melodious prelude gradually brought the mood of the song into focus, and Lin Zhixing, who was in high spirits, opened his mouth at the right time.

"Beyond the blue-grey sea"

“Someone is suffering”

"Sorrow, turn into wings"

"Let the scars become a compass"

The song that Lin Zhixing is singing at this moment is "Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon" which he obtained yesterday. He intends to release both Chinese and Japanese versions of this song.

The Japanese version of the lyrics may look strange because this song was originally intended as a film and television soundtrack.

The story tells of Dr. Goto, a skilled doctor who exiles himself on an isolated island, and helps the residents of the island fight against diseases under simple conditions together with Ayaka, a nurse who shares the same aspirations with him.

"Silver Dragon" is the nickname of the bicycle that doctors ride when they go out to see patients. It also symbolizes endless power and freedom. Riding on the back of a silver dragon represents the process of harnessing this power and pursuing freedom and dreams.

Another new song?

Dong Chen was stunned. He thought he would sing "Until the End of the World".

Although he didn't understand the lyrics of the song, he could hear the positive attitude conveyed in the song, and the song was full of hope and emotion.

Guo Qian's eyes lit up as well. First, he didn't expect Lin Zhixing's Japanese to be so standard, with an accent that was even worse than his own. Second, he didn't expect that he could compose such a good Japanese song.

"Ride on the back of the silver dragon to the desert of life"

"Ride on the back of the silver dragon through the vortex of clouds and rain"

Lin Zhixing's singing voice is gentle, graceful and affectionate, singing out both firmness and grandeur as well as sensitivity and tenderness.

After listening to the whole song...

Guo Qian seemed to see a picture of ordinary people who were not afraid of difficulties and pursued their dreams. Every sentence was calling for hope and comforting the wounded soul.

“What a great song!”

Guo Qian couldn't help but applaud. As the leader of Tokyo Yan Records, the leading company in the island country, his professional ability was impeccable and he also possessed a keen sense of the musical trends.

At this stage, the market needs this kind of spiritually powerful songs, and the musical potential is huge.

The expected system prompt sound did not sound at the right time.

Is one song not enough? "Wait, there are two more songs!"

Lin Zhixing interrupted him and sang "Until the End of the World" and "Gradually Attracted by You" in front of his surprised gaze.

After singing all three songs, Guo Qian's attitude towards Lin Zhixing took a 180-degree turn.

Sit down! Please sit down!

Please take a seat! Guo Qian was full of praise, "I like these three songs very much, you are really amazing!"

"Then take a look!"

Dong Chen raised the corner of his mouth and put his hand on Lin Zhixing's head, making a crown gesture, "My brother Lin will be the goat of the music industry in the future!"

【bite!】

[The medium difficulty system task has been completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the song "Running"! ]

The system prompt sounded suddenly, and all the memories about the song were retrieved.

"Running" is a song written and sung by Yu Quan and Huang Zheng. In the 2000s, it was very popular in the streets and alleys and was one of the must-have songs for cassette players and MP3 players.

Yu Quan sang a duet with Deng Chao in the final round of the first season of "I Am a Singer". They ignited the whole audience with the song "Running" and successfully won the first place.

Lin Zhixing stroked his chin. It would be really good if this song could be linked to some sports events, especially marathons.

It's just not very suitable for male and female chorus.

…

"Let's eat before we go!"

"No, Qian!"

Dong Chenwan rejected the good intentions of her childhood friend Guo Qian, "I'm glad to see you today. Say hello to my sister-in-law for me. I will watch all the movies starring my sister-in-law without skipping a second!"

"Goodbye, I'll call you later!"

After leaving Dongjing Yan Company, Lin Zhixing and Dong Chen looked at each other, and both were very satisfied.

After nearly an hour-long negotiation, they were relatively satisfied with the copyright prices for the three songs, and Guo Qian really liked the "Tokyo Fever" theme song that Lin Zhixing played at the beginning, and was willing to buy it if it was completed.

“Brother Lin!”

Dong Chen stretched his body and imagined the future: "I have a feeling that these three songs will be popular. In the future, your name may be known by the Japanese people."

"That's for sure!"

Lin Zhixing raised his lips and said, "My goal is not to make three popular songs, my goal is to use my songs to support half of their music industry!"

Dong Chen: “6!”

…

…

The next morning.

Yida Records, inside the Good Luck office.

“I’m sleepy…”

Lin Zhixing yawned, leaned on the shoulder of Dong Chen, who also looked tired, and muttered to himself.

I just flew back last night and have to record "I Am the King of Singers" in the evening. I didn't want to come to the company during the day, but Song Ge called me.

Last time, Song Ge told his alma mater about the Good Luck Studio recruiting singers. Students signed up very enthusiastically and sent their singing videos to the studio's email address.

Recently, whenever Song Ge has free time, she browses her email and listens to her junior classmates singing. Among them, there are a few good students, and she has invited them for interviews.

Afraid that he couldn't make up his mind, he called Lin Zhixing, Xiao Dong and Xiao Ji as well.

"Pigeon."

Ji Yu looked at Song Ge who was worried and advised: "If you can't call it right, I think today is the first test, and then interview a few more groups and make another round of judgment."

"good."

As we were chatting, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

"Hello, seniors!"

Three brightly dressed and graceful young girls walked in politely.

Two of the girls were wearing long skirts and standing close to each other, while another girl, who was dressed in a somewhat androgynous style, kept some distance from them.

It seemed that the girl dressed in a neutral style was not familiar with them. She just walked in together at the agreed time. What was the same was that they were all a little nervous.

"Hello, please introduce yourselves!"

The girl dressed in a neutral style stepped forward and introduced herself: "My name is Chen Lin, a senior student in the vocal music department."

"My name is Ren Ningning, and I'm a senior student in the vocal music department."

"My name is Tian Jing, and I'm a senior student majoring in music education."

The other two sweet and lovely girls took a step forward hand in hand, smiling and said, "We are a happy ending group. Our dream is to become a group singer as popular as our seniors."

Happy Ending?

Lin Zhixing smiled and said, "It seems that the two of them have read a lot of novels..."

"good."

Song Ge nodded and got straight to the point: "Chen Lin, let's start with you. Sing the song you prepared now. I want to hear it sung a cappella."

When they heard it was a cappella performance, the three girls were a little unprepared. However, as music students, they had the ability to improvise, so they quickly adjusted themselves and sang.

Among the three people, Chen Lin, a girl dressed in a neutral style, has a very good bass part and her voice is very magnetic among girls.

Ren Ningning, who has waist-length hair, has a nice voice in the middle range. Tian Jing, the prettiest girl among the three, has a clear voice and is very comfortable in the high range.

"Okay, go back and wait for my news. Whether it works or not, I will reply to you in a week."

"Well, see you, seniors!"

Song Ge did not comment on how well they sang. In just 10 minutes, the three girls completed the interview.

"How do you feel?"

Lin Zhixing patted Song Ge, who was pursing her lips thoughtfully.

Song Ge recalled the song just now and said, "I think all three of them have their shining points, but also their shortcomings... For example, that Ren Ningning..."

After listening to her analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the three people, Dong Chen and Ji Yu looked at each other, gave a thumbs up and said, "Pigeon, you are so amazing. Neither of us could have heard it."

"Um……"

After thinking for a while, Lin Zhixing said, "What if we combine their strengths and let the three of them form a group? There are boy bands like Sunshine Boys and Super July M. These boy bands are very popular in the market. I think a girl band can also be a try."

“Good idea!”

Dong Chen secretly gave a thumbs up after hearing this, "Brother Lin is not leaving them any chance to survive!"

However, it is extremely difficult to develop a girl group.

…

…

7:40 pm.

Inside the recording building of "I Am the King of Singers", the singers' waiting room.

"Teacher Lin is here!"

"Hello, Teacher Lin. Are you ready to take first place tonight?"

“Isn’t this Mr. Lin who led us to break the record?”

As soon as Lin Zhixing and his group appeared, singers led by Zhao Weiwei and Yu Jiang surrounded him.

"Tomorrow Will Be Better" broke many records in the music industry and raised the value of many singers. They all admired Lin Zhixing's ability, and at this moment he was like the moon surrounded by stars.

Lin Zhixing was flattered and kept smiling and waving his hands, "Thank you for the compliments, it's just luck."

Even Guo Jiahe, who was sitting in the corner, now looked at Lin Zhixing with a more favorable attitude, "He has some self-awareness."

…

…

Eight o'clock in the evening.

At a gesture from the on-site director, the hall fell silent, and the seventh episode (Part 1) of "I Am the King of Singers" was officially launched.

As soon as the broadcast started, the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room instantly filled the screen.

"First, the sofa!"

"Come on, let's create a miracle tonight!"

"Jiahe, take the damn first place!"

"'I Am the King of Singers' cannot be without Oh Ye Ge, just like it cannot be without!" (I'm at a loss for words, try making a sentence!) The stage lights are flickering.

Amid the enthusiastic applause from the audience, Lin Zhixing, the host of the show, smiled and waved, walked to the center of the stage, and stood under the spotlight.

"Good evening, audience friends, welcome to watch the live broadcast of the seventh episode of "I Am the King of Singers"..."

After some opening remarks, Lin Zhixing picked up the cue card and introduced: "Next, please welcome the first singer, Iijima Ran. Please welcome her with applause!"

In the channel.

When Iijima Ran came out, she ran into Lin Zhixing who had just finished his announcement. She smiled and gave him a thumbs up, "I watched the show Singing Around the World. You are really amazing!"

"come on!"

Lin Zhixing smiled and encouraged her. Yesterday at Tokyo Yan Records, he learned that Iijima Ran was their popular signed singer. He wondered if the company would let her sing "Riding on the Silver Dragon's Back".

…

The song that Iijima Ran was going to sing tonight appeared on the screen, and her fans in the audience held up their fan signs and screamed.

“Wow, I love this song so much!”

"Come on, try to win first place!"

…

Amidst applause from the audience, Ran Iijima, dressed in a white dress, came to the center of the stage.

In the channel.

Lin Zhixing frowned when he heard this. He thought that her strength would be greatly reduced if she didn't sing rock music, but he didn't expect that she still performed very well.

It’s a pity to choose the topic, although the audience couldn’t understand her lyrics.

But as her singing voice changes, you can feel her emotions, pain, insight, courage and emotion.

After singing a song, she convinced the audience who said she could only sing rock music.

"This song is so well sung. The more I listen to it, the better I think it is. She has made so much progress at this stage!"

"She sings well, but she's a badass. My Lanlan is good at more than just rock and roll!"

…

“Thank you Iijima Ran for the wonderful performance!”

Lin Zhixing, who walked onto the stage to announce the show, glanced at it inadvertently and his eyes suddenly lit up.

There was a cone-shaped golden luminous object in the center of the stage, which was believed to have fallen after Iijima Ran's performance.

"Now, please welcome the duo Fengqi Wutong to perform the song "It's a pity there is no if"!"

As soon as he finished speaking, information about the song appeared on the screen.

[Unfortunately, there is no if]

[Phoenix perches on the sycamore]

【Lyrics: Lin Zhixing】

【Composition: Lin Zhixing】

【Arranger: Lin Zhixing】

Lin Zhixing came to the center of the stage, and the moment his toes touched the golden light, the system prompt sounded.

【bite!】

[Singing skills (high notes) proficiency +2 points. ]

【Current: High B (37/50). 】

As the system prompt sounded, Lin Zhixing was in a good mood.

My high-pitched singing skills are improving steadily and gradually. I estimate that when my proficiency reaches 40, I will be able to handle the "Bridge of Fate" that I won before. If I compete with Wang Jiawei in the future, this song will be very important. At this stage, my singing skills are still a little lacking.

【bite!】

[System tasks are opened at a medium difficulty level. If you rank in the top three tonight, you will be rewarded with a random song from Earth.]

Top three? I'm going to take first place tonight!
