Volume 2 Commodity Society Chapter 164 No more self-confidence
Chen Feng held up enough at Adams's house, and it was not until the early hours of the morning that he refused their family's retention and took the car back to the hotel.
At this time, it was just noon on the other side of the ocean, Chen Feng called the family to safety, and then chatted with Hongye on MSN for a long time, and heard that she chose a gift for Emily Emily liked it very much, and Hongye was also happy for a long time.
Chen Feng told her about the recording of today's songs, she has already recorded three songs in one day, and if she follows this rate, she can record them all within three days, and stay in the United States for five days at most, and then she can go home. Hongye was of course very happy when he heard the news, and after chatting with Chen Feng for a while, considering that it was already early in the morning in the United States, he told Chen Feng to rest early.
The next day, Chen Feng got up at half past six, did a hundred push-ups and sit-ups in the room by himself, played two more military body boxing, and walked upside down for five or six minutes, sweating slightly, before going to the bathroom to wash up, take a shower, get dressed and leave the guest room, and go to the restaurant downstairs with Li Qiangguo's three bodyguards to have breakfast.
In the bright and spacious restaurant, eating steamed buns and soy milk with Chinese characteristics, in addition to the outrageous price, the rest of the color and fragrance Chen Feng is still very satisfied, and the hotel restaurant knows the preferences of Chen Feng, a distinguished guest, and the breakfast is served to them is a young female Chinese student who can speak Chinese, Chen Feng is very bored, asked her some information, is from Shandong, came out of the United States three years ago to study, studied hotel management, has been interning in the Four Seasons Hotel for more than half a year, if there is no accident. He will be able to become a regular employee of Four Seasons early next year. Chen Feng saw that she attached great importance to this internship opportunity at the Four Seasons Hotel, but she didn't say much, but she wondered in her heart, although the work salary of the Four Seasons Hotel is very high, but you have been studying abroad from China for three years, and your current job is to serve dishes. And look very lucky and honorable, isn't this a cheap thing? But. No matter how you say it, they are all compatriots, and they are considered fellow countrymen when they meet in a foreign country, and Chen Feng, who can help, still has to help, and plans to write a letter of praise to the hotel before returning to China, I believe that this female compatriot can realize her dream of becoming a regular as soon as possible.
I ate breakfast unhurriedly and rested for a while. Chen Feng left the hotel in a good time and got into an extended Lincoln car to go to Jupiter Records.
When Chen Feng arrived, there was still half an hour before the start of work, but Adams and the people in the recording studio miraculously arrived, a phenomenon that is very rare in American companies. Because Americans are very punctual and have the value of "you get what you get for your hard work", unless your work is necessary or your boss pays him overtime. They generally go to work on the punctual time of work, and leave work on the punctual time of the place where they get off work, and rarely arrive half an hour late or go to work half an hour early.
And looking at their appearance, it is obvious that they are all conscious, and Adams did not give them a salary increase.
As soon as he saw Chen Feng coming, Ai Li came up and gave him a warm hug. Chen Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Long, we've been waiting for you for more than ten minutes. We're all looking forward to hearing your song again! I went back last night and listened to each of the three songs you recorded several times, and I can't get enough of them. I very much look forward to your surprise today. Are you starting to record the lyrical "Thereyoullbe" now? The melody of this song is very good, I have already arranged the music according to the requirements you indicated, we will discuss it in detail, and we can start recording it immediately. ”
Seeing that Ai Li was a little impatient, everyone laughed.
"Okay, let's get started now." Chen Feng nodded.
Chen Feng saw that they were all working so actively, of course he couldn't fall behind. Immediately, I listened to the arrangement of "Thereyoullbe" quietly. It is generally in accordance with Chen Feng's original requirements, but in some details. Chen Feng still made some changes according to the original requirements of the original version.
After discussing this for nearly half an hour, the arrangement was agreed, and Ai Li asked the arranger to make corrections immediately, and Chen Feng felt very satisfied after listening to the corrected arrangement, and immediately started the singing and recording part of the whole song. At this time, even Adams couldn't wait. watched Chen Feng walk into the recording studio and start the singing of "Thereyoullbe".

This song was originally an episode of the Hollywood war romance "Pearl Harbor" in 2001. The song topped the National Lyric Charts for 12 consecutive weeks and was nominated for two Grammy Awards. The original singer of this song is a female country singer who has won a Grammy Award, but now it is performed by Chen Feng, a male singer, and Chen Feng is somewhat bottomless in his heart.
The treble part of this song is still somewhat difficult, and it is magnificent, no less than Celine Dion's "Titanic" "myheartwillgoon" (My heart is eternal).
Although Chen Feng has a good grasp of this song on the whole, the treble part still does not seem particularly smooth and mellow. Even if Ai Li and the sound engineer didn't talk about it, he didn't think it was perfect. After singing like this five or six times, Chen Feng felt dissatisfied, and couldn't help but feel slightly depressed.
And Ai Li also suspended the recording work and called Chen Feng back to the control room.
"Long, let's take a drink of saliva first." Eli handed him a glass of warm water, and continued, "The song "Thereyouwillbe" you sang is generally perfect. You've just sung it so many times, especially the third time, in fact, you can pass the test, you don't have to be too forced, you have done a very good job. This song with your voice, even if it doesn't seem to me to be as classic as the "FarfromHomeaway" song before you, it's already very good, and it can be nominated for a Grammy for this song. ”
Chen Feng also knows. After all, she is not a soprano like Celine Dion, but in her heart she still demands herself according to the standards of the country singer in this song, and her natural interpretation is a little unsatisfactory. And if there is no standard of the original singer, Chen Feng is sloppy and doesn't matter at all, but he can't pass the level in his heart. I knew this was the case, so I didn't choose this song. But this song is just too classic. Chen Feng didn't want to give up. Either don't do it, do it and do it to the best, this is his Chen Feng's style.
"I'll try again. I always feel that this song is not very perfect and there are still things missing, especially the treble part. ”
Chen Feng said a little stubbornly.
"Long, with all due respect, this song is more suitable for soprano to perform, and although your voice quality is better, the vocal range is not very wide, this treble part. If you're going to go on a high note. It's a little difficult, you don't bother to lower the key or two. Try. ”
"This song can only be performed perfectly in the current key, otherwise it will be much inferior. If I sing it a few more times, maybe it will work. Chen Feng still said with some reluctance.
"Alright then, you can rest and relax a little bit, and then come back." Seeing that Chen Feng insisted, Ai Li stopped advising and respected his opinion.
Chen Feng closed his eyes, recalled the original singer's singing method in his heart, and compared the shortcomings of his singing just now, but knowing that he knew it, it was very difficult to really sing in earnest.
After resting for about ten minutes, Chen Feng walked into the recording studio again, and everyone took their places again and tried together.
It's a pity that today doesn't seem to be the right day, and after Chen Feng sang five or six times in a row, he still couldn't achieve the effect that satisfied him. When he wanted to try again, he was persuaded by Adams, and said to him from the headset: "Chen Feng, it's past the end of work now, I said yesterday that I would treat you, let's wait for everyone to have lunch together, and try again in the afternoon." ”
Chen Feng saw that a group of staff members, who were tired and dizzy because of him just now, and he was a little reluctant, and he didn't have much confidence that he could finish recording this song immediately, so he nodded and agreed.
Led by Adams, the crowd marched to the French restaurant in Eliman.
As soon as the group of them arrived, the staff in those restaurants and some of the old customers who were there yesterday recognized them, and they all greeted them one after another, especially Zhang Qiangguo and the three who followed them with a cool face.
The president invited a treat, and the staff were not very polite, sitting at three full tables, and even Zhang Qiangguo and the three were taken care of. As soon as everyone sat down, Eli picked up the menu and ordered a few high-priced dishes such as caviar and lobster without giving Adams any face.
Adams was obviously mentally prepared to be slaughtered, and he was very calm about this, at least on the surface, he still talked and laughed with Chen Feng.
This meal, except for Zhang Qiangguo's three bodyguards, everyone was a little stunned. After sitting in the restaurant for a while, Adams paid the bill, and everyone walked out of the restaurant one after another.
Back at the company, because it was not yet time to go to work, Chen Feng was embarrassed to be in a hurry for these people to start working immediately, so he went to the president's office with Adams to chat.
Adams can now say that he has a very good relationship with Chen Feng, and said directly to the point: "Chen Feng, if you don't have a good grasp of the song "Thereyouwillbe" in the afternoon, you should put it at the end and record those easy-to-sing songs first." ”
"Well, that's all there is to it." Chen Feng didn't insist this time, after a half-day of tossing and turning in the morning, his confidence in this song was not as great as before, and he had to wait for the rest of the songs to be recorded.
"Don't be discouraged, you're still young! Your voice is still in the stage of voice change, your vocal range still has a lot of room for improvement, I believe you should not have received too much professional training before, I suggest that you wait for the recording of this album, find a music instructor, and train you professionally. If you have time in the evening, I can find you a professional music trainer to guide and train you. ”
Chen Feng used to be a little confident in his voice and singing skills in this life, but now that he is engaged in this song, he also realizes his shortcomings.
"Thank you, I really want to do assault training for myself now. As for the cost of training, I can pay for it myself, so be sure to find me the best in the business. ”
Adams smiled heartily and said, "Chen Feng, you also think of me as too stingy." You are now a contracted singer of our company, and it is the obligation of our record company to train you musically. Rest assured, I will please you the best in the industry. ”
Chen Feng thought to himself: "You help me hire the best music trainer, not to pay Jupiter Records, but to pay Jupiter Records, what is the difference between asking for my own money?" ”
