6 The Team (1/2)

As he looked at the fascinated expression of Yuan Datong, Zhang Xiaohua knew that he had been completely conquered by ”Broken Hearted Woman.”

This song had brought Faye Wong to fame, it was extremely popular in Asia and was widely sung. The record sales had broken through into platinum, swept the music scene, won numerous awards, and regardless of language or mood, the song captured everyone's heart.

A long time pa.s.sed before Yuan Datong finally regained his expression and shook his head. He was very excited and asked, ”This... did you really create this song?”

”Of course.” Zhang Xiaohua responded without a thought. Although a little brazen, he couldn't exactly tell this Yuan Datong that the song was from another world, right?

”Well, now we are talking about business.” Zhang Xiaohua swung his arms around his chest and sat on the desk, just like a boss's posture. He seriously looked at Yuan Datong and asked: ”Can you give this song some background music by following the tune that I had sang? Of course, the song must be performed by a woman as after all, the t.i.tle of the song is called 'Broken Hearted Woman'. Which is also the theme and essence of the song. Finding the right singer can wait though, as we need to make a sample first.”

”Broken Hearted Woman!” Yuan Datong had become intoxicated again.

At the moment, Yuan Datong was deeply impressed by Zhang Xiaohua!

He couldn't think of how this kid had managed to not only write such a beautiful song. Even the name of the song was so chic and beautiful, life really was unfair.

At the same time, Yuan Datong was sure that once this song was published, it would set off a wave of frenzy in the music scene. He couldn't talk about the rest of the world, but it would definitely be able to conquer Asia!

”What are you waiting for?!” Yuan Datong became excited and did not hesitate. He took out his mobile phone and dialled five consecutive numbers, calling up all the members of the studio.

Half an hour later, the sun had risen above the horizon, signifying that a new day had arrived.

At this time, in addition to Zhang Xiaohua and Yuan Datong, there were now four men and a woman inside the studio.

The young woman was beautiful and the men were full of vigour and vitality, seemingly belonging to the rock and roll scene. They released the unique temperament of musicians.

The girl's name was Emma and she was the professional keyboard and piano player for the studio. She wore a beautiful dress which covered her slim body and her shoulder length hair was lavender in colour, she could be described as hot.

Three of the men were guitarists. The lead guitarist was called Xiaohai, the deputy melodic guitarist Haozi and there was the ba.s.sist who was named Jimmy. Finally, there was a guy who was the drummer for the studio and his name was Jack. They had a clear division of labour and they were all at ease with each other.

After a brief introduction to Zhang Xiaohua, Yuan Datong gave everyone the lyrics and rough scores he had written in advance. He immediately clapped his hands with enthusiasm: ”Listen up everyone, even if we don't get to eat or drink today, we must put a gorgeous first coating on the 'Broken Hearted Woman'. Whether or not we can bring out the full potential of this song depends on today!”

”Roger that!” Everyone replied in unison.

All the members of the team were in full swing and responded to the challenge. They picked up their pens and paper and took every possible measure. They began to carefully compose music for their new song ”Broken Hearted Woman.”

From noon to dusk, under the creativity of everybody involved, three different styles of music scores were created. Zhang Xiaohua's saw how everybody was being professional about their job and decided to buy lunch for them.

After seeing that the table was filled with fragrant meals, they didn't eat or drink anything, they didn't even blink their eyes. They just stared straight at the three scores to desperately screen them and discuss any required modifications.

As he looked at the way these people were hard at work and seeing that they took the job so seriously, Zhang Xiaohua was also deeply infected. He could not help but get drawn in!

This was the first time that he had seen such a hard-working team. Apart from being united, Zhang Xiaohua also saw that these people had a dedication and pa.s.sion for music. They seemed capable of not just creating music, but also life!

At this moment, the studio was hot.

After repeated reflections and constant revisions, finally, everyone went all out and made a completed score.

The next thing that Yuan Datong's peers had to do was to play the song perfectly and make the recordings and samples. For this, they relocated to the recording studio on the second floor.

The members already knew each other and they had picked up the musical instruments that they were proficient at.

They hadn't eaten or drank anything all day. However, the spirit of everyone was surprisingly strong and Zhang Xiaohua did not see any signs of fatigue on their faces. All he could see were the looks of pure expectation.

Yuan Datong personally administered the mixing board and was responsible for tuning and recording in front of the mixer.

In order to increase the effect, Zhang Xiaohua also personally joined the battle and stood at his position in front of the microphone in the studio.

The singer role was played by Zhang Xiaohua and although he had not started to sing yet, he seemed to have reached a tacit understanding with the team. With only one look, they seemed to understand each other's minds.

In cooperation with the team, Zhang Xiaohua got a strong feeling that their path to becoming famous was just around the corner!
