My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1271 Shan Tingting Part 2
Seeing that Zhang You agreed to listen to Shan Tingting's voice for himself, Zhang Xiyu finally let go of Zhang You.

"Her singing style has a lively, breathy quality; her voice is like...like..."

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiyu, who had just entered the elevator, still couldn't find the right words to describe Shan Tingting's voice. In the end, Jiang Yiren smiled and helped her out, saying, "Smooth and warm like pure milk."

"I'm sorry, I have a sensitive stomach and can't drink plain milk."

Zhang You replied with a smile.

"I didn't ask you to drink it, I just wanted you to listen."

Before Jiang Yiren could speak, Zhang Xiyu couldn't help but reply.

When the group returned to the recording studio, the two staff members were just about to leave when they saw them coming. They quickly got back to work. Xiao Zishan looked at Zhang Xiyu and said, "Xiyu, why don't you ask Brother Xu for help? I think his sound mixing is pretty good."

"Thank you"

Zhang Xiyu smiled and thanked her, then said, "But it's no need. I just brought your sister Shan here for a sound check."

"If it's an audition, why did you have to call me along?!"

Zhang You asked back.

"You're handsome"

Zhang Xiyu replied directly.

Even if he's handsome, he's still not someone you can dream of.

Having known each other for so long, we can now crack jokes like this. The main reason is that although Zhang Xiyu looks like a woman, her personality is not very feminine; she's rather carefree and outspoken.

After joking with Zhang Xiyu, Zhang You said to Shan Tingting, "Let's try 'Red Bean' first!" Upon hearing Director Zhang say this, one of the two staff members quickly turned on the background music of "Red Bean".

Once Shan Tingting entered the soundproof room, put on her in-ear monitor, and began to sing, Zhang You stopped talking. Jiang Yiren, on the other hand, seemed particularly serious. This song was one of her representative works, but it had been covered to death by internet celebrities recently, and each version of it was surprisingly good.

"We haven't even had a chance to truly experience the beauty of snowflakes blooming. If we tremble together, we'll understand even more why it's gentle..."

"Good breath control."

Zhang Xiyu offered her comment.

"We haven't even held hands yet, walked across the barren sand dunes, but perhaps from now on I'll learn to cherish what's meant to be, what's meant to be, and what lasts forever..."

"The transition was so subtle that you couldn't hear a single breath."

Zhang Xiyu praised him again.

"If you say another word, I'm turning around and leaving. I never realized you were so talkative. My daughter and little apprentice are both so quiet right now, but you keep chattering away. What?! Are you tired of singing and want to become a music blogger?!"

Zhang You said irritably.

"I'm not going to say anything more."

After saying this, Zhang Xiyu fell silent.

Zhang You looked at Shan Tingting, who was wearing a headset and looking at the lyrics on the teleprompter. It was obvious that she had practiced this song for a while, but Zhang You felt that Shan Tingting's singing was still a bit weak, not as good as many online celebrities.

Especially in the bass section, the natural flow of emotion was neglected, which is obviously too technical and a common problem that more or less exists among students who come from music academies.

Moreover, the singing style has become increasingly monotonous.

However, this is a judgment made by Zhang You as a top singer with top singing skills. Fans would definitely not be able to hear such a problem. Singers rely not only on their voices but also on their ears.

True singers never just practice their voices; they also train their ears, because hearing determines how their voice sounds and is the only way to capture sound. "So, isn't that amazing!?"

After Shan Tingting finished singing, Zhang Xiyu couldn't wait to ask.

"For someone her age, that's really impressive."

Zhang You replied, "Her voice was somewhat lacking in 'Red Bean,' but she would probably do quite well if she sang some softer, more gentle songs..."

Zhang Xiyu wanted to retort, but remembering that Jiang Yiren was standing right next to her, she immediately chose to shut up. She felt that Shan Tingting's rendition of "Red Bean" was more authentic than Jiang Yiren's original version.

Then, seeing Zhang You suddenly stop talking and look at her with a frown, Zhang Xiyu asked in confusion, "What's wrong! Is there something on my face!?"

"Try it!"

Zhang You withdrew his gaze from Zhang Xiyu's face, found paper and pen, wrote a few lines of lyrics in front of Zhang Xiyu, and then handed them to Shan Tingting, saying, "Just these few lines, try singing them."

Shan Tingting hurriedly took it, and then tried singing it a few times under Zhang You's guidance. This time there was no background music. Shan Tingting went into the soundproof room. There was no need to go to such trouble for a simple test, but if she really wanted to test the singing effect, she needed to be in a soundproof room without external noise interference.

Zhang Xiyu noticed the lyrics Zhang You had written... which were indeed only a few lines long. From this, Zhang Xiyu deduced that Zhang You seemed to have no intention of creating a song specifically for Shan Tingting.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have only written a few lines. But even these few lines of lyrics are enough to show Zhang You's profound skill in writing lyrics.

"They most readily forget the poems of the ancients, and most disdain the concept of unrequited love. They guard their love, fearing ridicule, and also fearing that others cannot see it clearly. Spring returns to see the red beans bloom, yet no lover comes to pick them."

The song ends here.

Zhang Xiyu's eyes lit up.

The lyrics alone are impressive, but when Shan Tingting actually sang it according to Zhang You's guidance, the song became truly extraordinary.

Even Jiang Yiren is no exception.

"very good"

After Shan Tingting came out, Zhang You laughed and made an exaggerated remark.

"Zhang You, there's a full version of that song, right!?"

Zhang Xiyu asked tentatively.

"No, it was written hastily and isn't perfect yet. I plan to spend a year polishing it carefully. Don't look at me like that; it's really not the complete version."

Seeing Zhang Xiyu's incredulous expression, Zhang You smiled and replied, "Alright, don't worry about Shan Tingting releasing her single. I gave the music department staff orders tonight to write lyrics and compose music. They've been in the company's music department for so long, they must be capable. We'll just have to pick them out later."

Immediately, Zhang You remembered the company's music library.

He slapped his forehead and said, "If that doesn't work, I'll try searching the company's music library in the meantime; maybe I can find something suitable."

He almost forgot about it.

Most entertainment companies have a lot of lyrics and compositions in their music library. Some of them are picked up by the company's singers, but there should still be quite a few left. If you really look carefully, you should still be able to find them.

There are instances of pearls being covered in dust, which can happen anywhere.

Zhang You didn't believe that every singer in his company had such a keen eye for talent. For example, his diva, whose song "She" was probably a case in point.

She probably thought the song was good at the time; after all, everyone has their own aesthetic sense.

Singers also have their own understanding of songs... and then there's the problem of poor comprehension. The songs they release not only fail to help their careers, but also accelerate their decline.
