New Century Entertainment, Recording Studio No. 2.
Under the command of the music director Gao Xiaosong, w.a.n.g Jingwen was currently recording songs. The track she was on was called ”I Am Willing”.
But no matter how you listen, something just felt off. The song sounded chaotic. It combined the sounds of a violin, cello, erhu, guzheng and other stringed instruments, the style was rigid and didn't flow, there was near to no rhythm, no melody, it was generally similar to those funeral march songs.
w.a.n.g Jingwen also felt that there was something missing from the song—it was very wrong. She couldn't quite describe it. The more she sang, the more she felt it, there was panic in her heart.
But Gao Xiaosong was a famous music producer in Huaxia. He was known as the G.o.dfather of music. The instrumentals of the song were from his hands. Therefore, w.a.n.g Jingwen didn't dare to say anything, she could only sing on. The style was different, so maybe this kind of song would be welcomed by people.
”People have joys and sorrows, and there is a lack of gloom under the moon. This is the ancient concept of love, I hope that we last forever.”
Finally, w.a.n.g Jingwen sang the last sentence. To be exact, calling it ”singing” was too generous. It sounded more like rap, her voice was very monotonous and off the beat.
Speaking of it, although w.a.n.g Jingwen stole the samples of Zhang Xiaohua's 13 songs and handed the sample to Gao Xiaosong, but these songs were way beyond the knowledge of Gao Xiaosong, plus the company only gave Gao Xiaosong for two months. Rushed for time, Gao Xiaosong had randomly compiled the songs using the samples as reference points and modified the song around it.
”Great, that was perfect,” Gao Xiaosong dressed his face up with a very excited look. In fact, he more than anyone knew that the song was trash compared to how fantastic it could potentially have been, but in fear of losing his job and status he decided to force the song through production. Due to his reputation as a musical genius, no one bothered to question his creation.
In order to cooperate with Gao Xiaosong, the rest of the staff present at the scene applauded. Cao Dequan and Cao Feifei had been watching quietly to the side. Hearing Gao Xiaosong praise the song, they smiled lost in their fantasy of all the money they would earn from the alb.u.m release.
The father and the daughter couldn't care less about the music at all, they were just focused on the money. Though they found the sound odd, they didn't question it, since Gao Xiaosong gave them the go ahead saying it was a good song, then they were convinced.
The number of hit songs this guy had written reached double digits, if he said it was ”perfect” then they could just await for the money to start rolling in.
At this time, only w.a.n.g Jingwen was expressionless, she felt awkward to speak up, Gao Xiaosong was a renowned music producer, she didn't wanna get on his bad side by contradicting him. She would need to rely on him for her songs in the future.
She remembered when she heard ”Broken-Hearted Woman”, just listening to the beginning, she was immediately attracted by the beautiful melody and couldn't help but sing along with the melody.
However, this ”I Am Willing” just felt so dry. The melody was boring and no flair. The lyrics weren't in harmony with the music either.
Simply put, she just felt the song sucked.
If even the singer who didn't want to sing the song, how would fans react after listening to it?
”Notify the film crew to shoot the music video for Miss w.a.n.g Jingwen as soon as possible.” Cao Dequan said with enthusiasm.
”Okay dad, I will personally inform them, by the way, the film crew will have a meeting to discuss and try to create the most luxurious music video for w.a.n.g Jingwen. I think this will greatly enhance the image of our company,” Cao Feifei also found it difficult to hide her excitement.
She wanted everyone to know that she was the one who stole w.a.n.g Jingwen over to their corner. When w.a.n.g Jingwen made achievements, it also counted as her contribution. For this reason, she personally supervised and even spent a lot of money to help make w.a.n.g Jingwen the best.
”Go, this time Dad will give you a budget of 50 million. Remember, don't lose the face of the company. We will use the top stars to create the best results!” Cao Dequan seriously said.
”I know Dad, you can rest a.s.sured.” said Cao Feifei confidently, full of a.s.surance as she led a group of staff out towards the conference room.
