Flying Stone Records, listening room.
As a veteran record company in the industry, the strength of Flying Stone Records was still very deep. Its equipment and facilities were among the best in the industry, and the listening room was no exception.
Although the area of this listening room was not very large, the decoration was strictly in accordance with the industry's first-class standards. Whether it was the floor, the wall layout, or the audio and video system, they were all very advanced.
With special seats, it could be used as a very high-specification home theater.
Today's day was a bit special. The listening room that could accommodate 24 listeners was full, and there were several people who had no seats standing directly in the aisle. It could be said to be crowded together.
And all the people present were the top figures of Flying Stone Records.
Yi Xiangjun, the vice president of Flying Stone Records, Lin Zhijie, the manager of the public relations department, the manager of the brokerage department, the chief contracted author Fan Jun, and a number of agents gathered together, including the protagonists of this listening session – MSN group.
In addition, Xia Guoyuan, the general manager of Flying Stone Records, also came.
Xia Guoyuan was in his fifties this year. He has been in charge of Flying Stone Records for more than 20 years. He has experienced the process of the record company from its most glorious peak to its decline, and then to its resurgence. His prestige in the company is extremely high.
In the circle, everyone's evaluation of Xia Guoyuan was that he was shrewd and tenacious. He had a wide network and a deep background. He acted swiftly and decisively. He was very old and could accept new things.
The establishment of the MSN beautiful girl group was the result of the promotion of Xia Guoyuan and Lin Zhijie, so he would personally attend the listening session of the title song of the album.
Otherwise, a mere song, even if it was the title work, was not worth Xia Guoyuan coming out to suppress the scene.
Some time ago, there were some different voices within Flying Stone Records about MSN's debut album, thinking that the investment was too large, leading to a doubling of the risk.
In particular, the cost of hiring Lu Chen to compose and supervise the production was as high as 1 million +.
Giving a newcomer the treatment of a top author had never happened in the history of Flying Stone Records.
Although Lu Chen's talent was excellent, and his solo album has also been recognized by the market, there were always people who had doubts, and even suspected that there was any insider trading.
This brought a lot of pressure to Lin Zhijie. It wasn't until Lu Chen swept the Original Music Chart recently and shocked the industry that the voices of doubt weakened a lot.
But there were still doubts.
Today, Xia Guoyuan was actually sitting here to support Lin Zhijie.
In addition to the senior management of Flying Stone Records, the company also invited a number of well-known people in the industry.
One of them was Zhen Zhen, editor-in-chief of "Pop Music" magazine. She had a good relationship with Lin Zhijie and was very interested in MSN's debut album. She was invited to come today.
There were also two music radio hosts and a well-known music critic.
Such a scene made the three girls of the MSN group, Mu Xiaochu, Su Jiajia and Ning Tian, all tremble with fear. They sat in the corner of the listening room and did not dare to breathe.
In fact, the beautiful girls were even more excited because this song was of great significance to their debut album!
The door of the listening room was pushed open, and an employee of Flying Stone Records led a young man in.
Mu Xiaochu and the others were sitting close to the door, so they were the first to see the newcomers.
They immediately stood up and said to the young man in unison, "Hello, Teacher Lu!"
The crisp and melodious greeting of MSN alarmed the other people present, Xia Guoyuan, Yi Xiangjun, Lin Zhijie …
They stood up one after another.
The comer was Lu Chen. He didn't expect so many people to come to today's main audition. He was very surprised.
Lu Chen nodded to Mu Xiaochu and the other two. He put his hands together and apologized to Lin Zhijie, who had just come over: "I'm really sorry to have kept everyone waiting. There was a traffic jam on the way here just now."
Lin Zhijie said with a smile, "You're not late. Let me introduce you. This is our general manager …"
He first introduced Xia Guoyuan to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen had been to Flying Stone Records four or five times, but it was the first time he had seen the helmsman.
He has also heard a lot about Xia Guoyuan's name – a real senior!
Xia Guoyuan held Lu Chen's hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Lu Chen is young and promising. It's also our luck that Flying Stone Records is fortunate to cooperate with you!"
Such an evaluation was really high, which made Lu Chen a little fearful and in awe.
Lin Zhijie introduced him to several other guests.
Including Zhen Zhen, the editor-in-chief of "Pop Music" magazine, everyone was very respectful and polite to Lu Chen.
This respect was not just out of politeness, but Lu Chen's status in the pop music world was no longer as simple as the winner of "Singing China". It could be said that he has erected his own style.
Lu Chen's current position was achieved with eleven original works on the Original Music Chart!
This unprecedented record was enough to make everyone feel deep veneration for him.
After some pleasantries, Lu Chen sat down next to Xia Guoyuan.
This position was specially vacated for him.
Lin Zhijie personally operated the playback equipment. Before the audition, he said, "Thank you for coming to listen to the album title song of MSN group. This song was composed by Lu Chen and co-arranged and produced with me. After listening to it, please give me more valuable comments."
In the audition room, there was a soft applause.
Lin Zhijie said with a smile, "The name of this song is called" Not Yet Lovers "."
As soon as his voice fell, he pressed the play button at the same time.
The audition room became extremely quiet in an instant.
Until the prelude sounded.
"Why am I the only one who can talk to you all night,
Why do I want to see you again after saying goodbye,
Among my friends,
You are the most special,
You always make me feel very close and considerate.
… …
Why do you care who goes shopping with me,
Why do you worry about who makes love to me,
You say you have feelings for me,
A little more than others,
But you don't say how much.
… …
Friends and above,
Not yet lovers,
Sweet but upset,
Happy and chaotic,
In the future,
What will become,
I can't wait to know the answer ~
… … "
This song "Not Yet Lovers" was the title song selected by Lu Chen for MSN's album.
The meaning of the title of the song "Not Yet Lovers" comes from the Japanese "Friends and above, not yet lovers". It means that the relationship between two people is above the relationship of friends, but has not yet reached the level of lovers.
It is most suitable to express the green and astringent feeling between young people!
The first three parts of the song were sung by the three beautiful girls of MSN. They used their respective sweet or clear voices to sing the expectation of love and the sweetness of being trapped in the dream of love of semi-mature girls, and delicately conveyed the longing and dreams of girls in this awkward period.
In an instant, it caught the ears of almost everyone present!
The singing of Mu Xiaochu, Su Jiajia and Ning Tian vividly and vividly expressed the unique feelings of little girls. The beautiful melody, the just right arrangement, and the simple but beautiful accompaniment created an atmosphere that was intoxicating.
"… …
Just a little closer,
I'll let you hold my hand,
A little braver,
I'll go with you!
What are you waiting for,
There's not much time left,
If it goes on,
We can only be friends!
A little closer,
I'll nod,
A little more impulsive,
I won't dodge!
Just three words,
Don't hesitate so long,
As long as you say it,
You can have me ~
… … "
The chorus part was also the climax of the whole song. The combination of the three girls was perfect!
The reserve of youth, the friendship of youth, and the inexplicable heartbeat of youth.
The ignorant pure love, the brave encouragement, and the impulse to pursue true love made people feel as if they had returned to the past, and they couldn't help but think of the people they had missed. Whether it was sad or sweet, perhaps only they knew.
The farthest love was that you were on the left and I was on the right.
The most memorable love was that it was more than friends, but not lovers!
Although he had heard it many times, when he heard the final version, Lu Chen was also moved by their voices.
As newcomers in the circle and members of the new girl group of Flying Stone Records, Mu Xiaochu, Su Jiajia and Ning Tian were all under a lot of pressure. Many people were staring at them and paying attention to them.
And this kind of attention was not only well-intentioned, but also some people wanted to see them make a fool of themselves.
MSN withstood the pressure. When Lu Chen brought the music score of "Not Yet Lovers", they practiced hard, tried to figure it out, practiced it over and over again, and even the slightest flaw had to be corrected repeatedly.
Now, the hard work of the three girls had finally produced a beautiful flower.
Although the final fruit has yet to be tested by the market, at least now, in this listening room, both the senior management of Flying Stone Records and the invited listeners were immersed in the singing.
Their looks were enough to explain everything.
"Can you make up your mind quickly and tell me I love you ~"
When MSN finished the last sentence of the chorus and the accompaniment ended, applause suddenly rang out!
Xia Guoyuan was the first to stand up and clap his hands hard.
He was the oldest of the people present, and he should have been the least moved by this song "Not Yet Lovers".
Because the most suitable people to listen to "Not Yet Lovers" were young people.
But the general manager of Flying Stone Records could hear the sincerity and value contained in this song.
It was worthy of his appreciation and applause!
Whether it was Lin Zhijie, Lu Chen, or MSN, they all lived up to his expectations and expectations.
The others followed suit and gave warm applause and praise to the three girls sitting in the back.
"Good song!"
"It's really good, and the singing is also very good."
"It can definitely be on the Original Music Chart, at least in the top ten!"
This song made them, senior industry people, have a premonition that an album with great market potential and even a big hit was about to be born. It may only be a matter of time before MSN becomes popular!
In the face of the praise of their predecessors, Mu Xiaochu, Su Jiajia and Ning Tian were obviously unprepared. They stood up a little bewildered, their pretty faces flushed, and then bowed in a panic to thank them.
In the end, MSN's eyes focused on Lu Chen.
Because they all knew who had given them everything they were enjoying now!
