After a breakup, a song heals the world

So Su Yan began to feel curious. With Cheng Xiaoer's personality, how did she survive in the entertainment industry?

Su Yan is not the fat Zhang Zuzhi, and he doesn't pay much attention to the status of these so-called singers and stars in front of the screen. If he knew that Cheng Xiaoer is always cold and aloof in front of the screen or in front of outsiders, he would probably have a different evaluation of Cheng Xiaoer.

However, if Su Yan knew that the lyrics of this song alone had greatly changed his impression of Cheng Xiaoer, he would probably have different ideas.

Since he felt that this little diva was not very smart and had a lot of airs, Su Yan watched her heart and decided not to say much to avoid being choked by this big star again.

Cheng Xiaoer, who was sitting on the sofa, felt that the lyrics were well-written after reading them, but she was unwilling to admit defeat.

So, it is absolutely impossible for her to praise Su Yan.

So... this small training room fell into an awkward silence again.

Cheng Xiaoer fiddled with the documents in her hand, occasionally secretly glancing at Su Yan, wanted to speak several times, but finally closed her mouth.

Fortunately, the other party seemed to be more interested in the equipment in the training room and did not notice Cheng Xiaoer's gaze.

Cheng Xiaoer blinked, glanced at Su Yan again, and instantly had the illusion of enlightenment!

My advantage is not my composition but my singing skills. You can write good songs, but aren’t your singing skills and stage experience still not as good as mine?

The instant confidence made Cheng Xiaoer almost forget Su Yan’s singing skills and stage performance when he sang the song "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart".

So she cleared her throat and began to think about what she was doing.

"Um...Is this song okay? Do you have a sample or demo of the melody?"

Su Yan, who was still observing the mixing console, turned his head and looked at Cheng Xiaoer, looking confused, "Melody sample? Demo?"

Although Su Yan has not made his debut yet, he is a student studying vocal performance after all.

I am not unfamiliar with these two terms.

To put it bluntly, demo and sample mean almost the same thing.

A song demo usually contains basic melody, harmony, lyrics and preliminary instrumental accompaniment, but it will not be as complex or perfect as the officially released version. The purpose of making a song demo is to test market reaction, attract the attention of record companies, or simply serve as a record of the creative process.

When a professional singer gets a song, all he needs to do is read the lyrics, understand the song's emotional tone, story background, and the theme the lyrics want to convey.

Then listen to the melody sample or demo provided by the composer or producer, and familiarize yourself with the melody structure, rhythmic characteristics and harmony direction of the song.

The next step is to practice singing, communicate with the producer, do trial recording, and finally go to formal acceptance, post-production, and audition confirmation.

At this point, the singer can be considered to have completed the production of a song.

Therefore, Cheng Xiaoer stumped Su Yan as soon as she opened her mouth.

"It seems... there is no more?" Cheng Xiao'er seemed very satisfied with Su Yan's reaction and sneered, "You are... a little unprofessional."

Su Yan laughed and said nothing. "Isn't it that you finally found a chance to make fun of me?"

"No demo..." Cheng Xiaoer narrowed her eyes and looked at Su Yan with a half-smile, "Oh, yeah, why don't you just sing it for me?"

Su Yan looked at Cheng Xiaoer's fox-like eyes and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Finally, she couldn't help but start to complain, "I sing for you? Did you really get first place in the Lincheng Conservatory of Music entrance exam?"

Cheng Xiaoer frowned slightly, obviously not expecting why Su Yan would suddenly say such a thing, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Su Yan chuckled, "There is such an assessment in the school entrance examination. Candidates need to accurately sing the melody and rhythm according to the music score, and be able to accurately imitate the specified melody."

The meaning of his words couldn't be clearer. Singing the melody according to the music score is the simplest basic skill for music students, so... why should I sing a demo for you!

Cheng Xiaoer's face changed slightly, but she quickly reacted and continued in a senior tone, "Student Su Yan, I hope you can put yourself in the right place!

Do you think of yourself as an examiner for the school entrance exam? You are just a music producer now, and I am a singer. To put it bluntly, I am your sponsor, but I haven't agreed to use your song yet?"

After saying this, looking at Su Yan's deflated expression, although Cheng Xiaoer's expression did not change, she still felt proud in her heart!

So... this is what it feels like to be a big shot!

Sure enough, it’s great!

"I..." Su Yan almost swore!

However, it cannot be said that what Cheng Xiaoer said is completely unreasonable. If we leave aside You Zhiqing, who acted as a middleman, given Su Yan's current fame, it is indeed a step above Su Yan's reach to come up with a song for Cheng Xiaoer to sing.

As a young diva, Cheng Xiaoer will probably receive a lot of similar music works, and these music producers will indeed try their best to hope that Cheng Xiaoer will sing their works!

Su Yan took a deep breath, thought about the touching value of his system, thought about the hard work and conscience of Teacher You Zhiqing... He endured it!

He stood up and looked around, "I'll just sing it once, you better listen carefully."

“Open~~~…”

"stop!"

As soon as Su Yan uttered the first word, he was interrupted by Cheng Xiaoer!

"What's wrong?!" Su Yan frowned and looked at the other party.

The little diva, whose brain wasn't working very well, sat on the sofa with her legs crossed and asked in a surprised tone, "You...are singing a cappella?"

"What else?" Su Yan was overwhelmed!

I began to hope that Teacher You Zhiqing would come back soon and stop letting this little diva torture me!

"You are too insincere..." Cheng Xiaoer flipped through the information about this song in her hand and pointed at a few words, "Look, it says arrangement above - Su Yan, since you have the arrangement, why are you singing a cappella?

You're a bit unprofessional..."

A bit unprofessional.

This was the second time Su Yan had heard this statement.

Su Yan took a deep breath again!

Okay, I'll continue to endure!

As for the accompaniment, although it has not been recorded yet, this does not pose a problem for Su Yan.

Relatively speaking, the accompaniment of the song "Days on Beijing East Road" is relatively simple.

This song was written by a group of high school students in the previous life, and not many accompaniment instruments were used.

Guitar, piano, violin, drums.

Finally, a bass instrument part similar to a cello is included.

Guitar and piano are both very commonly used accompaniment instruments. Not to mention those far away, they can be found in this small practice room.

As for the piano... Su Yan is a music student, and although his level is average, it is more than enough for accompaniment.

On the contrary, the guitar, although this instrument is easy to get started, Su Yan is only at the level of proficiency.

But don't forget that Su Yan has a system.

Most of the touching points I earned when singing "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart" were used to redeem the song "Days on Beijing East Road".

There are still tens of thousands of moving points left, not enough to exchange for new songs, but more than enough to exchange for a guitar skill.

Of course, more advanced skills such as guitar mastery and guitar master require more moving points.

So Su Yan simply closed his eyes, entered the system, spent ten thousand, and exchanged for guitar proficiency skills!

Soon, a piece of information was transmitted to Su Yan's brain, and in an instant, Su Yan went from being a guitar novice enthusiast to a skilled guitarist!

Su Yan glanced at Cheng Xiaoer with a hint of provocation.

Then... I picked up a guitar...
