song written while brushing teeth

Chapter 27

In the fourth week after the release of "The Dance of the Lion and the Tiger", Bodong released Miao Jialu's second single "The Wilderness Calf" on the online platform. This self-narrative work is brisk in style, sunny in content and catchy in tune Very likable, it shot to No. [-] on the charts in its first week of release.By the second week, "Wild Mavericks" achieved the second highest weekly broadcast volume on the entire network.

By the way, Wang Xianghui's new single ranked seventh on that chart, Long Anling third, and Maiyuan Records' Xiao Yan ranked first.

Miao Jialu looked at the list in disbelief, he swallowed hard, his heart beating violently.What did Lu Sheng say?As long as one of them hits the top three, the company will release him a full album.

In other words, that is to say, he can release an album!

What he didn't know was that because of this ranking, Bo Dong held a whole morning meeting. Although the main character of the discussion was not him, it had something to do with him.The content of the Bodong meeting revolved around the charts. Among them, why the well-crafted Wang Xianghui single was not popular in the market as expected was the focus of discussion, and how to adjust operations to change the status quo.The meeting process was active and tense, but when the meeting ended, the manager of the operation department half-jokingly said to Ye Jiqiu, "Mr. Ye can't be partial, and give us Miao Jialu's promotional resources."

Ye Jiqiu was startled suddenly.Most of the announcements and variety show resources he gave to Miao Jialu did not come from Bodong, but from his own contacts.Although he was only acting as Miao Jialu's temporary manager, Ye Jiqiu not only didn't do anything perfunctory, he could even be said to be very caring.At present, the record market is weakening day by day, and the resources that record companies can give to old singers are very limited, so it is difficult for many newcomers to make their debut.Ye Jiqiu didn't want to bury talented and potential rookies because of such external reasons.At present, it has been fully proved that Miao Jiali is popular in the market.

But he, who is used to bringing big-name artists, also forgot an important point - Miao Jialu is just a newcomer, and the entertainment industry is a giant workplace full of rules.It's better to restrain yourself when you bump into Wang Xianghui, an old senior who loves face very much.

Back in the office, Miao Jialu, who looked expectant and proud, was already sitting on the reception sofa and waiting.Seeing him come back, Miao Jialu happily jumped up to claim the credit: "I'm second this time!"

"Yes," Ye Jiqiu's gentle smile was the same as usual, "Good job!"

"What am I going to do next? Is it really possible to release an album?"

"Well, your variety show announcements will basically be suspended first," Ye Jiqiu said calmly, looking at him naturally, "We need to focus on the preparation of the album, and then the record team will first discuss the direction of production with you , we will devote a lot of time and energy to selecting songs, appointing producers and making an album, this is your first album, let us win the first battle together."

Miao Jialu was not at all unhappy about losing variety show resources, but was even more motivated: "No problem!"

Ye Jiqiu smiled.Miao Jialu is really simpler than he thought. The advantage of this kind of character is that it is easy to win his trust, but the disadvantage is that once there is a crack in trust, it will be shattered immediately.

"By the way," Miao Jialu looked at him expectantly, "Do I have a chance to win this year's 'Glory Award' Best Newcomer?"

The Glory Award is the most authoritative award in the industry. The [-] most professional judges will rate the achievements of the shortlisted singers in this year. Each judge's score will strictly follow the "three no principles"—— Don't look at sales, fame, or private life, and use the most objective attitude to evaluate each shortlisted singer.Therefore, despite occasional upsets, the Glorious Awards have always been recognized as the most valuable awards in the industry because of their objective standards.

Ye Jiqiu looked back at him tenderly: "Whether the result is successful or not, I will do my best. However, it will be very hard."

Miao Jialu was very firm: "I can do it, I'm not afraid!"

In addition to a few important announcements, Ye Jiqiu assigned some of Miao Jialu's variety show and advertising promotion work to his contemporaneous newcomers such as Zhao Yang and Zhang Nuoya, and also gave Tao Molin a chance to star in a movie.When he came back to his senses, Ye Jiqiu couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that he had found so many jobs for Miao Jialu.

Although it weakened many of Miao Jialing's exposure, it did not affect Miao Jialing's popularity.His ghostly spirit and not sensational talent are very popular in the market. Under the premise that "Wild Mavericks" has always maintained the top three, "Dance of the Lion and Tiger", which has dropped to the top [-], has returned to the top. ten.Ye Jiqiu was dumbfounded, he hadn't seen such a scene for many years.

The prospects are bright, and Bodong's record department even started to discuss whether to make a mini album with only two or three singles before the official album release.The purpose of this discussion is not to test the waters of worrying about album sales as in the past, but to make a fortune in advance.

However, when Miao Jialu was recording the third single, a very strange thing happened. Bodong withdrew his own "Pineapple Shaved Ice" and replaced him with another song written by an unknown songwriter. The song written by the creator, "What Now".

Miao Jialu, who sang silently, frowned: "This doesn't suit me, does it?"

Ye Jiqiu agreed, this song is really not suitable for Miao Jialu now.But he didn't say anything, because the record department said that the order to change the song was given by Lu Sheng.

"Not necessarily, you can try it." Ye Jiqiu, who knew the inside story, encouraged him.

Miao Jialu bit the bullet and recorded a passage, and took off the earphones with a frowning face to complain: "Actually, the song is not bad, but the lyrics are too bitter, right? What kind of harm did the person who wrote the lyrics suffer?"

The creator of the song and lyrics is called "L&R". Ye Jiqiu has never heard of it before, and can't find any information. He doesn't even know whether they are a group or a person.

Miao Jialu tried again, and the singing was finished but she was very dissatisfied.While listening to his own voice in the earphones, he shook his head in refusal.

we used to comfort each other

we have fallen asleep

We were most familiar with each other's body temperature

now and now

torment, struggle, silence

I am no longer qualified to hug the insomniac you

I also stayed up all night

The lyrics are too sad for him, and it is difficult for him who has not experienced enough to put emotions into this part.

"No, I'm sure I can't sing well," Miao Jialu wanted to give up after singing several times, he asked Ye Jiqiu for help, "Can I sing "Pineapple Shaved Ice"?"

Ye Jiqiu didn't answer. Although he knew that Miao Jialu was right, he couldn't promise Miao Jialu anything until he was sure there was any conflict of interest behind the song.

At this moment, a chilly and unpleasant voice sounded.

"What's wrong with this song?"

Everyone in the recording studio froze. No one knew how Lu Sheng appeared, and why did Lu Sheng, who is the senior management of the company, appear in the recording studio?

This well-dressed elite has his hands in his trouser pockets, and his supposedly laid-back posture doesn't look relaxed at all.

He looked at Miao Jialu: "What's wrong with this song?"

Miao Jialu, who sensed that the atmosphere was not right, had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to be tactful: "I'm ok with the song, but the lyrics are too old for me."

Lu Sheng just said lightly: "Oh? Really?"

Miao Jialu boldly said: "I want to sing my own song, which is the previous "Pineapple Shaved Ice"."

"No." Lu Sheng's expression was very cold, without any room for negotiation, "Currently, you are not qualified to choose songs."

Miao Jialu did not give up: "Or I can write the lyrics myself."

Lu Sheng glanced at him: "You are not good at making up your mind, who do you think you are?"

The atmosphere in the recording studio instantly dropped to freezing point, and no one knew or dared to say anything.Ye Jiqiu came out to smooth things over and asked Miao Jialu to try again.

With a stinky face, Miao Jialu put on the earphones again, and Lu Sheng, who stood silently for a while, left alone.The situation seemed to have recovered, and everyone in the recording studio breathed a sigh of relief.

Miao Jialu, who had been taught a lesson, was full of anger and had nowhere to vent it. As a result, it was all expressed in her voice, and the sad love song was roared with a metallic flavor.Knowing that he didn't know how to hide his emotions, Ye Jiqiu pressed the pause button and asked Miao Jialu to go back and have a good rest, and try again tomorrow.

After returning home, Miao Jialu didn't complain to Lu Zeyi about Lu Sheng, but just played the song that Lu Sheng forced him to sing to Lu Zeyi on the guitar on the video call.

Lu Zeyi already knew what happened in the recording studio today, and he found that Miao Jialu would not share many negative things with him, and the other end of the network was always laughing and joking—even with him, he would not tell Miao Jialu about many things Same.

"Do you think there is something wrong with the lyrics of this song, it doesn't fit well," Miao Jialu said her conclusion, "I can fill it in better!"

Lu Zeyi didn't speak immediately. Today's matter is not a matter of principle. Besides, Miao Jialu, as a newcomer, really needs to obey the company's arrangements, so he put his face on his face and gave his opinion: "I think you sing well, no matter how emotional you are, Some?"

"That's right, the problem is that I don't have enough feelings!" Miao Jialu almost jumped up, "I'm still young, how can I have such weather-beaten feelings!"

"The actor who played the murderer in the movie never killed anyone," Lu Zeyi looked at him, "right?"

Miao Jialu was silent for a moment.

Knowing that he was beginning to waver, Lu Zeyi continued, chuckled and said, "I didn't even know there were songs you couldn't control."

Miao Jialu replied almost reflexively: "There is no song that I can't control!"

Lu Zeyi on the screen clapped meanly: "That's good."

Knowing that he won the game, and also understanding that there is no point in arguing about it, Miao Jialu had no choice but to hold his only relying on the acoustic guitar with a sad face, and said the troubles in his heart: "But I really don't have enough feelings."

"Then think about it," Lu Zeyi maintained his chin-supporting posture and a steady tone, "If one day you were asked to choose between me and the future, which one would you choose?"

Miao Jialu immediately said loudly: "Pah, peh, peh," "Choose a fart, I want it!"

Lu Zeyi straightened his body, with an unconscious smile on his face, and finally gave a serious suggestion, "Since the music and lyrics cannot be changed, should we start with the arrangement?"

"Arranger?"

Due to some personal reasons, Lu Sheng has not traveled on business for almost ten months, and he even missed the annual meeting held by the headquarters in Hawaii.But this time, he had to leave for three days due to the handover of a manager's retirement. After finishing his official business, he didn't even attend the retirement party before boarding the return flight.

The plane entered the stratosphere, and the sweet stewardess came to deliver champagne. Lu Sheng took it with a smile, and opened his business laptop to check his "personal reasons".

Due to the time difference, it is one o'clock in the middle of the night in China, and he switched the screen to the bedroom. Under the effect of the night vision lens, he saw Song Yuru lying on the bed.He knew that Song Yuru hadn't fallen asleep. Since two months ago, Song Yuru had a very serious insomnia problem, and he usually didn't fall asleep until around four o'clock in the morning.He has imprisoned Song Yuru for ten months, but the relationship between them has not improved at all.Recently, Lu Sheng reconsidered their relationship.Although no conclusion has been reached so far, he has stopped forcing Song Yuru on the bed. For Lu Sheng, this is the biggest concession he can make, but to be honest, he has no idea what will happen afterwards.All I can think of now is to lock him up and keep him from leaving my side.

A reminder of a new email suddenly popped up in the e-mail box. When I opened the e-mail box, it was from Ye Jiqiu.Lu Sheng couldn't help sighing that Ye Jiqiu really didn't need to sleep, and always sent emails to himself in the middle of the night.While thinking this way, Lu Sheng opened the email, and it turned out that it was the demo of "What's Now" sung by Miao Jiale.No one would have guessed that this song was written by Song Yuru in his home and discarded by him, and he published it under the name of "L&R" without telling Song Yuru.

L and R are the abbreviations of left and right, commonly seen in headphones, and they happen to be the initials of the first character "Lu" in his name and the last character "Ru" in Song Yuru's name.

Lu Sheng put on the earphones and clicked the play button.The song is still the same song, but the arrangement has completely changed.

Previously, Lu Sheng asked someone to adapt the R&B pop style that is most suitable for sad love songs, but the version he has heard so far has become a guitar accompaniment that is biased toward folk songs.Not only that, the accompaniment guitar rarely uses chords, and most of the time it is the simplest single note. With Miao Jialu's singing without much skill, it's like listening to him tell a story from his old friend.Sincere and simple, eloquent.
