I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 34 No way, buddy, you really can do it?
After reading the entire music score and lyrics of the song, Si Kong Zai indeed had a lot of thoughts.

In his opinion, the arrangement of this song has endless possibilities.

He even couldn't wait to try it.

If Xu Kong had not already finished the accompaniment, he probably would have lost control of his creative desire.

Of course, he was also very curious about the arrangement made by Xu Kong.

The appearance of this song was not enough to dispel his previous suspicion, that is, the song was still written by the company and Xu Kong was just an empty shell.

He didn't want to see such a song ruined due to inappropriate accompaniment.

So before Xu Kong played the accompaniment, he had already thought about how he was going to convince the other party to let him be responsible for the arrangement so as not to ruin such a good song.

Xu Kong had no idea that the long-haired man in front of him had so many thoughts in his mind.

After Su Zhi indicated that she was ready, he began to play the accompaniment he had just finished.

As the slightly sad electric guitar sounded, Xu Kong quickly got into the mood.

This was not the first time he sang this song, but after all, he still felt a little pressured to sing with a singing queen like Su Zhi.

"No, your state is too cold. You need to change your singing style."

Before the crucial chorus part, Xu Kong stopped on his own initiative. Under Si Kong Zai's slightly surprised gaze, he actually began to teach Su Zhi very seriously how to sing.

In fact, from the moment the accompaniment sounded, Sikong Zai realized that his previous guess was wrong.

No way, buddy, it turns out you really can do it?
It is obvious that this accompaniment has already set the tone when the song was created.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other party to achieve such a high level of completion in such a short time.

Sikong Zai wanted to use his many years of experience as an arranger and producer to find some problems in Xu Kong's accompaniment.

But in the end nothing was found.

It can be said that some of the ideas in his mind coincided with the accompaniment made by Xu Kong.

The quality of the finished products made by Xu Kong needs to be even more perfect.

He knew that if he didn't know the song well, it would be difficult to create an accompaniment that fits the song so well.

If it is true as rumored outside, that Xu Kong's songs were all written by ghostwriters hired by Fengqing Entertainment, the possibility is too low.

What's more, Xu Kong really had a very clear plan on how to perform the entire song. Just by giving some suggestions to Su Zhi, when the two of them tried it again later, the effect could be described as immediate.

Could it be that this so-called traffic idol is actually a musical genius?

Sikong Zai knew that Xu Kong was only twenty years old. If the previous two songs, including this one, were originally written by Xu Kong, then his potential was too exaggerated.

I don’t know why, but I ended up taking the path of becoming a traffic star through a talent show.

Su Zhi's singing skills are not comparable to Xu Kong's current ones.

After all, he had traveled through time and had only been practicing for a few months, so the gap between the two was quite large.

However, Xu Kong's understanding of this song is definitely better than Su Zhi's.

With the standard template in place, Xu Kong knew how to perform this duet song well.

For the final stage effect, Xu Kong had to let Su Zhi take care of herself a little.

The singing style of the entire song was basically within Xu Kong's comfort zone, but Su Zhi's singing style was a little different from what she was usually good at.

Fortunately, Su Zhi's adaptability and musical talent were first-rate, and she quickly met Xu Kong's requirements.

As for Si Kong Zai, who had just been a bystander throughout the whole process, he was even more surprised at this time.

Although Xu Kong's singing skills cannot be said to be very good, they are definitely at the level of a second-rate or even first-rate professional singer in China.

This is indeed surprising for a top star in the domestic entertainment industry.

Sikong Zai had also come into contact with Xu Kong's peers before. It can only be said that Xu Kong's performance at this time was completely superior to theirs. "Teacher Sikong, do you think there is anything that needs to be improved in this arrangement?"

After all, he was the one she invited. Although Su Zhi was very satisfied with the current version of the arrangement, she still asked politely.

“Although some areas need repairs, it is already very complete.”

Although Sikong Zai was somewhat reluctant in his heart, he still answered truthfully.

After all, Su Zhi is not an amateur, it is impossible for her not to be able to tell whether a song's arrangement is good or not.

Although Xu Kong didn't say anything, he had already anticipated such a result.

After all, the arrangement of this song can be described as a classic. He doesn't believe that any random person in this world can do better in such a short time.

"So we'll stop here today?"

Xu Kong glanced at the time and it was already past six in the afternoon.

As soon as he got off the plane, he followed Su Zhi to the recording studio. He played accompaniment and practiced singing for four or five hours without a rest, so he must be a little tired.

The most important thing is that I'm hungry. I haven't eaten anything since I got off the plane.

After leaving the recording studio, Su Zhi treated Xu Kong to dinner with great hospitality.

They are all local specialties of Star City.

Xu Kong had been here several times before, but they were basically boxed lunches provided by the variety show crew or performance organizers. He was quite satisfied with this meal.

He also discovered that Su Zhi usually spoke very little and would hardly take the initiative to find topics to talk to you.

But when talking about topics that interest the other person, Su Zhi can't stop talking.

For example, Xu Kong casually mentioned a few words about the two songs from Su Zhi's new album that she had previously appeared on "Singer", but the other party insisted on asking Xu Kong to comment on them.

He just gave a few perfunctory compliments, saying that it was not suitable for the show. However, Su Zhi was not very satisfied and realized that Xu Kong was not telling the truth.

Even Si Kong Zai who was standing by was a little curious about what Xu Kong would think of Su Zhi's new album.

The two songs released now have obviously not received very good reviews from the outside world, which made Si Kong Zai, who was originally quite confident in Su Zhi's new album, begin to doubt himself.

You should know that Su Zhi's new album took two or three years to polish, and during this period, she eliminated more than a hundred songs just for song selection.

"It's okay, just tell me directly. I'm not the kind of singer who can't stand criticism."

Su Zhi said with a very serious expression.

Xu Kong hesitated for a moment, but finally gave his opinion.

"Then I'll just say it casually?"

"In fact, I have only listened to the two new songs in your album, but I can basically see the style of the songs in this album."

"I feel like your team and you may have made a mistake, being too obsessed with the title of the Queen of Love Songs."

"The songs in your new album don't represent a big breakthrough in style compared to the songs you released when you first debuted."

"The key is the quality of the songs, which are not much better."

"In fact, with your voice, there should be more possibilities."

Xu Kong said silently.

What he said was relatively tactful, the main reason was that the quality of the song was average.

He knew that Su Zhi had been pursuing the so-called improvement of singing skills over the years, but for most popular love songs, singing skills were not a high priority; the quality of the song and the audience's sense of involvement were the key.

Just like the two new songs that the other party released on "Singer" before, the melodies were mediocre, the lyrics were empty, and the audience was not interested, so it was normal that they didn't become popular.
