Chapter 465

The singing came out from the surround sound speakers around the recording studio.

This was the best recording studio in the entire CCTV building, which had just completed its final equipment debugging eight days ago. The full set of German Neumann and SSL recording systems, plus the Dolby Atmos control center, could be said to be a configuration at the level of a world-class record company.

Therefore, the singing flowing out from the speaker system had a very delicate graininess and clear layers.

When the last line "Walk with me on the streets of Chengdu, oh~~~ until all the lights are extinguished, and don't stop" finished playing, and the melody at the tail ended lingeringly in the impression, the song ended, and Zhao Lei felt that there was some sand in his eyes.

"Pa pa pa pa pa..."

Applause rang out, and he wiped the corners of his eyes and followed everyone to applaud.

Of course, if it were another place, another person.

The most important thing is to change to another person.

Then what Zhao Lei had to do would definitely not be clapping, but standing up and stamping the sole of his shoe on the other person's face.

……

Amidst the applause, Chen Nuo showed a slightly shy expression, put his hands together, bowed to all sides, and said very humbly, "Thank you, thank you."

Of course, it was impossible to practice singing inside the recording studio.

Going in to record the song was just to find problems more intuitively through playback. Afterward, he had to do specific on-site training under the guidance of a vocal teacher, such as that Old Man Lin, targeting these problems.

Therefore, after recording in the recording studio, he walked out to listen to the playback with everyone.

After listening, facing the applause, although he was humble on the surface, Chen Nuo was actually a bit proud in his heart.

During the process of recording the song just now, he absolutely performed beyond his level. If Yang Mi were on the scene, she could probably only kneel and listen; if Liu Yifei were on the scene, she might never be able to hold her head up in front of him for the rest of her life.

What is called true feelings? This is true feelings.

He even moved himself while singing.

For him, this was not acting for the first time, but a rare outpouring of true feelings.

That's right, when he was singing, he wasn't thinking of anyone else, but Gao Yuanyuan.

If it were the previous life, Gao Yuanyuan at this time would probably already be flirting with Zhao Youting, right?

But in this life, she had fallen into an emotional vortex with him.

Facing her straightforward confession, as well as her attitude of not cheating, not lying, and not deceiving. As a former scumbag who was determined to change himself, how could Chen Nuo be cold-blooded and indifferent?

Meeting that little girl named Yuanyuan in the elevator might also be an arrangement and revelation from heaven.

Not only that, just as the song says, "The only thing Chengdu can't take away is you."

He discovered that it seemed that in a certain place in his heart, there was indeed a feeling of reluctance toward Gao Yuanyuan.

Although the two were initially in a relationship of "only talking about the body, not talking about feelings," in the process of getting along time after time, he gradually discovered that this woman was actually the one whose personality was most compatible with his, and whose topics were most compatible. Perhaps that was why, slowly, she occupied a place in his heart.

So... what else could he do?

He knew the situation of Gao Yuanyuan's family.

Her mother was in poor health, and although she went to Los Angeles for treatment some time ago, the recovery was not optimistic. Her brother was already married and had children, and what her mother couldn't let go of most was her. Hoping that she could settle down and have someone who could take care of her and accompany her was human nature.

And in order to satisfy her mother's wish, Gao Yuanyuan chose to give up her status, even if she could only be one of his partners without status, she wanted to have a child to prove that her life was not a rootless duckweed, so that her mother could be at ease.

Although this sounded very unreasonable, very outrageous, and very feudal in the eyes of others.

However, for a literary young woman, a creature who doesn't talk about reason, doesn't talk about principles, and even likes self-sacrifice, it seemed that making this decision for what she considered true love was not so incomprehensible.

Could he marry her? Impossible.

So from the woman's current perspective, it seemed to be the optimal solution in a helpless situation.

Because of this, Chen Nuo suddenly felt that if his original code of "seize the day" were to continue, it would seem a bit excessive for Gao Yuanyuan.

As a result, when singing, he finally made a decision:

If I have to, I will!

For him, this was definitely a thorough change from the depths of his soul. In his previous life, there were as many women who wanted to have his children as there were crucian carp crossing the river, but when did he ever nod?

He felt incomparably proud and proud of his change, and reflected in his singing, it was the more he sang, the more emotional he became, and the more he felt.

"Good, good."

Sure enough, everyone was moved by his emotions. Old Man Lin shook his head, looking like he couldn't even speak, and kept repeating these two words.

Zhao Lei secretly wiping away tears was also instantly captured by his actor-level observation ability.

And Ha Wen and several recording engineers were also applauding, giving him a lot of face.

After he thanked them repeatedly, he waited for a while, and the applause slowly died down.

Ha Wen said, "Everyone, express your opinions."

Chen Nuo immediately said humbly, "Teacher Lin, Teacher Zhao, and all the teachers, if there are any problems, please give me more advice."

After speaking, no one answered, and the recording studio fell into a cold silence.

After a while, Ha Wen said, "Teacher Lin, you speak first."

Chen Nuo looked over.

Old Man Lin also looked at him and said, "Then I'll talk about it first. If there's anything wrong, Xiao Zhao, you help me supplement... Okay, Xiao Zhao."

Zhao Lei nodded and said, "Okay."

"Hmm..." Old Man Lin said slowly, "First of all, Chen Zong's proficiency in this song is absolutely beyond all of our expectations. In the handling of some details, it is very in place. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe that this was the first time Chen Zong sang this song. Especially the investment of emotion, the kind of emotional expression that Xiao Zhao emphasized before, Chen Zong also perfectly expressed it... To be honest, this kind of emotional control ability has already surpassed many professional singers."

Everyone was listening quietly, waiting for the well-known "but."

Sure enough, Old Man Lin changed the subject: "But... I found that there are a few notes that don't match the score, right?"

Chen Nuo nodded frankly: "Yes, I think it sounds better to sing it this way."

The Chengdu he sang was the original version he practiced in KTV in his previous life, and it really didn't match this version in many places. He didn't think this was a problem; after all, the old version he sang had been tested by the market. And this new version. Although he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, in such a short time, asking him to change to sing this version was definitely thinking of farting. It was good enough that he could recognize the staff, okay? Old Man Lin bringing it up was quite good; he just wanted to persuade Zhao Lei to change it.

"Uh..." Old Man Lin's lips twitched, he turned his head and said, "Okay, I'll just say this much. Xiao Zhao, you wrote the song, what do you think?"

Zhao Lei didn't answer immediately.

It was still that sentence—

If it were another place, another person.

The most important thing is to change to another person.

As a literary young man who didn't take anyone seriously, whenever someone dared to change his song beyond recognition in front of him, and shamelessly said that it sounded better this way.

No matter if it really sounded better, Zhao Lei would definitely fly up and kick him in the face, letting him know how to write the words "respect original work, refuse piracy."

Even if the other party was named Chen Nuo, so what?

When a literary young man's temper comes up, he doesn't sell anyone's account.

But unfortunately—

An hour ago, when this person unexpectedly came here alone, Zhao Lei recognized him at first glance.

Similarly, he believed that the other party must know that he recognized him.

From last night until now, the time that had passed was not even ten hours.

He hadn't even changed his clothes, how could he not recognize him?

The black and white Li Ning down jacket, a black mask, a pair of light blue jeans, that pair of Li Ning board shoes, and the Rolex Green Submariner on his hand. Not a single place had changed.

This made him know immediately that it had nothing to do with Super Boy.

It was this person who came to the scene in person, heard him singing by chance, and then recommended him to the Spring Festival Gala program group.

But why didn't he change his clothes?

You know, the woman who drank with him yesterday, anyone with eyes could see that the two of them were intimate, but she was definitely not Liu Yifei.

If this news were sold, God knows how much it could sell for! Was he not afraid that he would tell others after discovering it?

Why did Zhao Lei have sand in his eyes before?

The reason was not because of the song, but because he thought of this problem.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Zhao Lei, who was 26 years old but still loved fantasy and self-moving, said calmly, "Chen Zong, can you sing it again? I think your version is indeed better, and I can modify it according to yours."

Chen Nuo was a little surprised, stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Okay."

……

……

In the end, Chen Nuo stayed in the CCTV building until five o'clock in the afternoon.

The process was smoother than he imagined. He originally thought it would take some effort, but he didn't expect that Zhao Lei, a young man, was quite sensible, which saved trouble, didn't it?

"Chengdu," which he had sung maybe hundreds of times in his previous life, was thus gorgeously reborn in this world. He was naturally like a fish in water, fully exerting the skills he had practiced in KTV. After practicing for most of the day, he made Old Man Lin sincerely say that it was not bad.

So he got off work early.

They agreed to come back to practice for half a day tomorrow morning, and at 1:00 PM tomorrow afternoon, they would go to the old CCTV site to participate in the last rehearsal and record the backup tape.

When he left, he would naturally no longer be a person taking a taxi; Young Master Qi drove a Bentley to pick him up.

The Huanxin company was already on vacation today and would be until after the Lantern Festival.

Speaking of which, since their company was founded, they had never held an annual meeting and only issued year-end bonuses. In fact, this was because Chen Nuo and Qi Yuntian were birds of a feather, both having a personality of "more trouble is worse than less trouble." But this point was posted on Weibo by some employee in the company and even made it to the hot search.

After Qi Yuntian picked him up, he was obviously curious to the extreme. As soon as the car drove out of the CCTV building, he couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, is the song selected?"

"Hmm."

"What exactly is going on? Didn't you go to Gao Yuanyuan's place to sleep? Why did you suddenly find a song to sing? Did you two not do that thing together, but formed a choir instead?"

Chen Nuo laughed dryly twice: "You're really humorous."

And then said unhappily: "Drive well, don't be so gossipy. Anyway, the song is selected, and it's practiced quite well. Now it's fine, it won't delay our cooperation with CCTV."

"Heh." Qi Yuntian smiled disdainfully, "There are many people who want to cooperate with us now. CCTV is just so-so. Without this butcher Zhu, we can actually eat hairy pigs all the same."

Chen Nuo said, "Then you mean I wasted my effort? You should have said so earlier, I'll make a phone call now and tell Ma Dong that I'm going home for the New Year this year."

Qi Yuntian laughed, "Hahahahaha, no, no, Chen Zong, I'm just joking with you. Hard work, hard work, for the company, you've taken pains."

Chen Nuo hummed: "That's more like it."

Qi Yuntian drove the car toward Ziyu Villa and said, "Chen Zong, not only does CCTV need your pains, but Hengdian also called me several times, saying that their Chairman Xu wants to invite you to dinner before the New Year, what do you say?"

Chen Nuo leaned on the leather seat of the Bentley Mulsanne. He was tired all day, and he didn't sleep well yesterday, so he felt lazy and didn't want to use his brain, asking, "What do you think?"

"I think it's better to take some time to see him. It should be because of the Golden Globe Awards. When you won the Best Film, didn't you mention Hengdian? It should also be about Inception. Not seeing him is a bit unreasonable. After all, before our play is shown on CCTV, it has to be filmed in Hengdian first."

Chen Nuo thought about it. When he asked Chairman Xu of Hengdian for investment, Chairman Xu agreed quite readily, so he nodded. "Then let's see him. Find a place. One with fewer people, more secretive... Forget it, let him arrange it, anyway, don't be like the last time we went to Qiao Jiangnan. Reading the newspaper, I became a clown."

"Okay. There is one more person who wants to see you."

"Who?"

"Li Ning."

"No." Chen Nuo said without hesitation.

Chen Nuo currently had 6 endorsements.

Among them, Mattel and Li Ning, signed in 2008, both expired in March-April this year. The Porsche signed in 2009 expired in the second half of the year. Now several parties were negotiating with Huanxin Company about contract renewal.

When Chen Nuo signed the contract with Mattel and Li Ning, he hadn't filmed Twilight yet, and only because The Dark Knight won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, the advertising fee was not high.

Mattel was 7 million US dollars for 4 years, and Li Ning was 42 million RMB for 4 years.

But Mattel also had doll commissions every year, and the dividends in recent years added up to about 2 million US dollars.

Li Ning had nothing.

According to the current market, it was absolutely impossible for Li Ning to sign him with this little money.

Even for Porsche, in 2009, the signing fee was 12 million US dollars for 3 years, about 28 million RMB per year, and now it was being renegotiated, let alone that little drizzle from Lining!

So when he heard that Li Ning wanted to see him again, Chen Nuo knew with his butt what this person wanted to do.

Repeating the old trick.

I guess he wanted to play the emotional card and the patriotic card again.

However, more than a year ago, ever since there was some unpleasantness between them because of the shoe design, Chen Nuo's impression of Li Ning had become poor. This time, he would naturally not see him again."

"Then I'll tell them you don't have time."

"Talk normally when the time comes. If they are not sincere, then don't renew the contract."

"Understood."

After finishing the official business, they chatted about the reunion in two days. This year he was in the country but couldn't return to Xichuan, so Chen Bicheng and the others discussed coming to Beijing to gather with Li Er's family and Zhang Yi's family, the three families together, to have a reunion dinner before the New Year. Anyway, Ziyu Villa was big enough, let alone three families, even thirty families could fit.

"What about Liu Yifei?" Qi Yuntian said with a smile, "Are you going to let her come together??"

Chen Nuo laughed, "She's going back to Hubei with her mother for the New Year this year, and she's leaving tomorrow."

Qi Yuntian said "ah," looking very regretful.

Chen Nuo looked at him and couldn't wait to give him a punch.

The two chatted and laughed while driving, and time passed quickly. But when they were about to reach Ziyu Villa, Qi Yuntian suddenly said again, "Liu Yifei told Li Jing one thing before, she wants to go to 'Eagle Catching Chicken' to play a role."

Chen Nuo was surprised, "Ah?"

"Didn't tell you?"

"No."

Qi Yuntian smiled and said, "Then you can probe her later to see if she really wants to go to Hong Kong to act, or if it's for someone else... If she really wants to act, it doesn't matter if you give her a bit part, spend a day or two filming and then finish. But I think it might not be that simple. So, I advise you to figure out her thoughts and see how to solve it. Otherwise, Li Jing doesn't know how to refuse her, it's really a headache."

Chen Nuo nodded solemnly, "Understood."

PS:

A little less today,

I don't know why, I've been sleepy. I fell asleep while writing.
