Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 395 Made an Appointment

"Thanks to your careful guidance, Xia Fan, I have basically mastered the techniques."

"But the emotions in this song are too delicate, and the changes are too complicated. It will take me some time to digest it..."

Having regained her previous "energetic state", Hoshina Hanami devoted herself to thinking about song practice.

"Practicing alone may not be effective. Why don't we practice with a chorus?"

"Perhaps, I can inspire you with the emotions of the song."

Xia Fan sat down in front of the electronic keyboard and motioned Hoshina Hanami to come over and sit down.

With his "absolute mastery" of the song, and the collaboration of the Tsukishōgami electronic keyboard and Chimei Whisper, he is very confident that his performance and singing can convey the emotions of "Fireworks" 100%...

With his guidance, Hoshina Hanami will definitely be able to understand the mood and emotion of the song with twice the result with half the effort.

"Then, Mr. Xia Fan, please give me more guidance from now on..."

Xing Minghuajian tucked her hair behind her ears, lowered her head and smiled, then sat down on the bench next to Xia Fan...

"So... so close..."

The girl's slender body came close without any defense...

Xia Fan's nose was filled with a sweet fragrance, and his elbow could even vaguely feel a soft, swaying touch.

"To this day I can still remember the coastline I looked out at that day."

"The words carved on the beach, and your back."

"What did the surging waves sweep away as they passed by my feet..."

The black and white keys played a moving prelude, and the two people's singing, leaning against each other and blending seamlessly, began to echo in the recording studio with an elegant melody.

……

Two hours later.

"Hanami is amazing. After practicing so many times, her voice is still in such good condition. The final DEMO is really great!"

Xia Fan listened to the song in the headphones and praised it highly.

"That's all thanks to your guidance, Xia Fan, and your constant encouragement."

Hoshina Hanami, who was also wearing headphones next to her, listened to her own singing with a look of satisfaction on her face.

The vocal skills required for the song "Light Up Fireworks" are not very high. The difficulty in singing it lies mainly in the interpretation of emotions...

Under Xia Fan's guidance, the two practiced chorus and solo several times, and Hoshina Hanami basically mastered the song.

The recording effect of this final DEMO version of a female solo was so good that even Xia Fan was quite satisfied with it.

"I'm sorry to bother you to come over so late."

Hoshina Hanami bowed to express her gratitude to a man who was working in front of a recording device outside the glass room.

"This time is not late at all. For us, being dragged to record songs in the middle of the night is normal. You two can leave the rest to me!"

The bearded man in a baseball cap gave the two of them a thumbs-up.

Before the final recording, Xia Fan specially asked a recording engineer for help.

Although he could record demos, he had his own expertise. Company B had a 24-hour on-duty "millionaire recording engineer" in the recording studio. When it came to details like audio editing, noise reduction, and track adjustment, amateurs like Xia Fan couldn't compare...

Even if it is just a song DEMO, the auditory texture produced by a professional recording engineer is completely different.

"Is it already so late?"

“Once we started recording, I lost track of time.”

When I left the recording studio and walked downstairs to the B company building, the brilliant stars had already covered the sky above Tokyo.

"Xia Jun, thank you very much for both the song and the recording today!"

"I will definitely practice hard and won't let this song down." Wearing a mask, Hoshina Hanami bowed deeply to Xia Fan, with a crystal flash before blending into the shadows.

“I’ve never worried about that.”

"The review of this DEMO song will definitely go smoothly."

Xia Fan nodded calmly.

"Well, I'll be leaving now. See you later."

"Well, see you later."

After saying goodbye to Xia Fan reluctantly, Xing Ming Hanajian turned around and walked towards the nanny car in the parking lot.

Both of them are now relatively well-known new artists. In order to avoid unnecessary news, they naturally cannot leave together or take risky actions such as having dinner together.

"Yes! We have already made an agreement about the chorus, and no one is allowed to break their promise!"

After walking for a while, she suddenly stopped, turned around and waved to Xia Fan, and mustered up the courage to remind him...

"Well, it's an appointment!"

After watching the girl get in the car and drive away, Xia Fan also put on a mask and walked towards a corner of the parking lot...

"Finally you're done, great musician."

"I'm hungry, let's go eat ramen!"

In an inconspicuous parking space, Higashino Yoshihide was sitting in the car, and there were more than a dozen cigarette butts on the ground near the door.

……

Company B, inside the recording studio.

"This... this song... is so beautiful..."

"The main melody is elegant and light, the piano interspersed with the ethereal singing voice complement each other, and the chorus becomes more and more high-pitched..."

"What's even more valuable is that Miss Xingming's singing voice carries such sincere and pure emotions, and she interprets the sighing and parting of a young girl in love so vividly..."

“Although it’s just a DEMO, it feels much better than many album title songs after it was released.”

Listening to the finished DEMO, the recording engineer was already in tears, with an intoxicated look on his face.

"By the way, who was that young man just now?"

"I've never seen or heard of such a young and talented producer in the company?"

"Whatever, it's a pretty good song anyway..."

"It deserves a generous intelligence fee."

After sending the finished DEMO to the mailbox of Ryo Tachibana's company, the sound engineer sneakily took out a USB flash drive and inserted it into the computer...

……

The next morning.

"Mr. Xia Fan from the AFO Group, welcome! Please sign in here, then go into the lobby and wait. The director will come over to give you a briefing before the recording..."

While other trainees of the AFO group were still working hard in the rehearsal room to polish their debut song, Xia Fan had already signed in at the variety show department of TBS TV station.

A low-cost variety show like "The Secret of Immortality" naturally does not have a dedicated makeup team like the "Idol Birth Festival". The program team has already notified the recording artists in advance to prepare their own makeup and costumes before coming.

Of course, Xia Fan, who didn't have a makeup team, just grabbed some hairspray, shaved, and showed up with his bare face.

But for him, who is naturally beautiful and has the blessing of [Divine Eyes], this does not affect his photogenic appearance at all. It just adds a bit of youthfulness of a college boy compared to the evil and heavy makeup he wears on the performance stage.

"So old, so dilapidated, so messy... Is TBS's office space really so shabby?"

Xia Fan, who was participating in a variety show recording for the first time, looked around curiously at the variety show production department which was only over 100 square meters in area.
