Chapter 1382: The Tyrant of the Recording Studio is back!!!
In the blink of an eye, April is already halfway through.
The lively scene of the cherry blossom viewing party is still vaguely in front of his eyes, and Shanying Yuan has returned to tranquility.
Because Naoki Nagayama has returned, his mother-in-law Chieko Nakamori and his mother Caizi couldn't let go of their homes, so they both went back, but this separation made little Xia Hua cry several times~
However, after all, with her parents by her side, she gradually recovered, and then she mindlessly chased cats and dogs, and from time to time she had to act like a spoiled brat in front of her old father, fully enjoying her carefree childhood time.
Outside the courtyard, the heat of Naoki Nagayama winning an Oscar is slowly cooling down, and the sales of "Jurassic Park" are also tending to flatten. The entertainment industry always has endless fresh things to attract the public's attention...
The most novel thing these days is that "Full House" is about to be released!
"The response to the first trailer is very good!"
Xu Mudao Xu reported the situation of the new film promotion on the phone,
"Sure enough, the male and female leads are both popular idol artists, and the topic they stirred up is very high!"
"Haha, youth romance dramas should be played by younger popular idols... acting skills and such, it doesn't matter if they are a bit green, it just happens to fit the character..."
Naoki Nagayama was naturally very happy to hear this, and Akina on the side also pricked up her ears, because this TV series has her best friend Yukiko Okada.
"However..."
Xu Mudao Xu's tone was a bit uneasy,
"Naoki-san, the three theme songs you gave are a bit troublesome now."
"?"
Naoki Nagayama was surprised. The three theme songs of "Full House", "ShaLaLa", "Destiny", and "The Initial Position", were given to Xu Mudao Xu by him personally on the day of the cherry blossom viewing party!
These songs have all been translated into Japanese, so how can there be a problem?!
"What's going on?"
"We had a problem when choosing singers to sing..."
Xu Mudao Xu replied,
"It's always missing a bit of feeling..."
"..."
Naoki Nagayama frowned. He thought it was a problem with his translation... After all, they were originally Korean songs, so it is very likely that they didn't have the original feeling after being sung.
"Hmm... then I'll go to the recording studio to take a look..."
"Hai!" Xu Mudao Xu's tone immediately rose, "I'll go arrange for other singers... Is the afternoon okay?!"
"Okay..."
After hanging up the phone, Akina on the side was very curious:
"Is Naoki-san returning to be the Tyrant of the Recording Studio again?!"
"... What are you talking about... I'm such a peaceful person... how did I become a Tyrant!"
"Naoki-san feels like a different person when in the recording studio, very strict!"
Akina joked. She vaguely remembered that when she was singing "Snow Flower", it was Naoki-san who supervised the recording. Naoki-san at that time was impressive,
"The feeling of being unreasonable, and thinking of various ways to make the singer achieve a certain effect... The Tyrant is well-deserved!"
"..."
Naoki Nagayama's face was embarrassed. Strange behaviors like letting people eat alcoholic chocolate, go running, and go worship Buddha, now that he thinks about it, are indeed a bit too strange...
However, men always care about their face!
Naoki Nagayama directly stretched his magic claws toward Akina's waist:
"Akina, let you see what the Tickle Tyrant is!"
"Dame!!"
Akina was startled and hurriedly declined, but she couldn't escape the magic claws,
"Hahaha, Naoki-san don't... don't... haha... itchy..."
The movement of the two on the sofa was seen by the little guy who was harassing Eitaro, and she immediately ran over and joined in the playfulness...
The laughter of the big and small made Miaotailang, who was sleeping on a high place, stretch his head to watch the fun!
After a while, Akina played the trump card of the child in her belly, which made Naoki Nagayama stop his hands.
Then Akina hugged the little guy and said with some expectation:
"Naoki-san, can you let me go with you this afternoon?"
"... Akina, are you a masochist, wanting to re-experience the look of the Recording Studio Tyrant?!"
"Not at all!"
Akina pushed Naoki Nagayama and said,
"I've just been at home for too long and want to go out for some fresh air..."
"Hmm..."
Naoki Nagayama thought about it and felt that the recording studio was not a dangerous environment,
"That's fine... Then what about Hua-chan?"
Looking down at the little guy, little Xia Hua also looked up at her father and mother...
"Hua-chan is going too!"
"Okay..."
There is a recording studio in Shin-Okachimachi called Xinyin Studio.
This is the exclusive recording studio for artists under Tree Friend. Many songs are recorded here, and even the equipment has been updated once in the past two years.
"This afternoon, Naoki-san will personally come to guide you..."
In the lounge next to the recording room, Xu Mudao Xu said to Yukiko Okada, Masaharu Fushan, and finally Izumi Sakai,
"Among you, except for Quan Shui-chan, others haven't had the chance to enter the recording studio with Naoki-san, right?"
Yukiko Okada and Masaharu Fushan both shook their heads. Although they knew Naoki Nagayama's title as a gold-medal musician, they obviously didn't have the chance.
"Hmm..."
Xu Mudao Xu paused before saying,
"How should I put it... be careful when in the recording studio..."
"Naoki-san is a bit different when in the recording studio... he will be very strict..."
"Ha?!" X2
The two juniors didn't believe it, and then they looked at the experienced Izumi Sakai.
"This..."
Izumi Sakai felt that Naoki Nagayama didn't seem that strict. When recording before, it went very smoothly.
"Don't look at Quan Shui-chan..."
Xinyisi, who manages this recording studio, interjected,
"Quan Shui-chan is the champion of 'Voice of Japan', and her debut song 'myfriend' was recorded after being polished by vocal teachers and Miyuki Nakajima-sensei, and it has been tested by the market, so it went so smoothly..."
"Others are not so lucky!"
This was actually the conclusion Xinyisi reached after thinking for a long time after Izumi Sakai's recording. He originally thought Naoki Nagayama was deliberately going easy on Izumi Sakai... until he thought of this reason!
"Quan Shui-chan, this time, be careful... This song 'The Initial Position' hasn't been sung here with Naoki-san, right?"
"This... indeed hasn't..."
"Hehehe, then maybe you can see the true face of the Recording Studio Tyrant!"
For some reason, Xinyisi was a bit excited. He felt that his memoir would definitely have material again!
And the three singers in the lounge, scared by this guy Xinyisi, all became nervous~
The black, low-key Toyota Century slowly stopped at the entrance of the recording studio.
After Naoki Nagayama parked the car, he opened the back door and carried out Akina, who was a bit inconvenient, and the little guy in the safety seat.
"Oh my..."
Akina, who got out of the car, breathed a sigh of relief, stretched, and looked at this familiar place and sighed,
"I really miss it! This recording studio..."
"Akina, you haven't been here many times..."
Naoki Nagayama carried little Xia Hua and held Akina's hand as they walked toward the recording studio,
"Hurry, hurry... It won't be good if photos of the pregnancy are taken!"
"Hehehe, okay~"
Akina, who was being led by Naoki Nagayama, still felt a bit shy...
After walking into Xinyin Studio, Xinyisi, who had been waiting at the front desk, immediately stepped forward to greet them:
"Naoki-san, you're here..."
Then he saw little Xia Hua in Naoki Nagayama's arms and Akina Nakamori behind him, and he got stuck for a moment,
"Akina-san... and little... little miss?! Why are you here too?"
"Just call her Hua-chan, what little miss!"
Naoki Nagayama joked with a smile,
"Akina is tired of staying at home, so I brought her out for some fresh air... and by the way, to reminisce about the time of recording!"
"Ah... I see..."
Xinyisi hurriedly invited Naoki Nagayama to walk inside,
"Naoki-san, Akina-san, Director Xu Mudao and the singers are already in the lounge!"
"Haha, it's good that everyone is here..."
Following Xinyisi to the second floor, Xu Mudao Xu had already walked out of the lounge, and was surprised to see Naoki Nagayama, Akina, and Xia Hua:
"Naoki-san, Akina-san, and Hua-chan, why are you here too?!"
He had been to the cherry blossom viewing party, so he was naturally very familiar with the two.
However, little Xia Hua was leaning against her father's neck, tilting her head to look at the person in front of her... This guy has no impression, why is he so familiar?!
"Can't stay at home all day when pregnant..."
After walking into the lounge, he saw Yukiko Okada and others again, and naturally there was another round of greetings.
Akina was very happy to see her best friend, little Xia Hua was very close to Izumi Sakai, and Masaharu Fushan was a bit reserved in answering Naoki Nagayama's questions.
"Do you find the song 'Destiny' difficult to sing?"
Naoki Nagayama had considered Masaharu Fushan's vocal range and felt it was very suitable for "Destiny".
"It's okay, I sing this kind of lingering song less... but it doesn't feel very difficult..."
The young Masaharu Fushan was still a bit arrogant and very confident in his singing!
Naoki Nagayama nodded with satisfaction:
"That's good... You sing first later! I'll see if there are any problems!"
"Uh... Hai!!"
After all, they were here to work today. After chatting for a while, the recording work was about to officially begin.
As Naoki Nagayama said, Masaharu Fushan was indeed the first to walk into the recording studio, ready to sing... The others were listening at the console...
"
I don't quite understand what love is
Never expected it to be so close to me
Even my heart in front of love
Cannot act according to its own will
"
The familiar melody sounded, pulling Naoki Nagayama's memory back to his high school days in his previous life.
Under the high-intensity study pressure, the ignorant feelings of teenagers were suppressed in the pile of homework. The unbridled youth in the TV series seemed to have nothing to do with good students...
And under such pressure, a Korean TV series quietly arrived. The bright summer in the TV series seemed to become the only relaxation for teenagers, and the love of a happy couple became their most beautiful imagination of love~
Masaharu Fushan in the recording studio sang very devotedly, and also put his feelings about love into it, and the song was interpreted very movingly.
After the song ended, Akina and Yukiko Okada and others who were listening at the console felt it was very good~
However, Naoki Nagayama's face did not have a relaxed expression...
"Hmm... I think I understand where the problem is!"
Naoki Nagayama's opening made the atmosphere in the recording studio a bit heavy,
"Fushan-kun... you seem to be too serious about feelings!"
"???!!!"
Others, including Masaharu Fushan in front of the microphone, were surprised, and Xinyisi, who was operating the recording equipment on the side, was ecstatic in his heart:
"It's coming, it's coming, the Recording Studio Tyrant is coming!!!"
"Too serious?!"
Masaharu Fushan didn't quite understand... Isn't this song expressing the contradiction and struggle of love? What's wrong with being serious?!
"Fushan-kun..."
Naoki Nagayama organized his language,
"The lyrics of this 'Destiny' are indeed more tangled, but when singing, you can't use an attitude that is too serious..."
"You need to have that feeling of a prodigal son returning, that is... a scumbag who was rich in emotions, who no longer fantasizes about getting true love, but suddenly bumped into love inadvertently... and then is tangled and struggling, worried and afraid of this emotion..."
"Three parts unbridled, three parts surprised, four parts struggling..."
"..."
Listening to Naoki Nagayama's description, not only Masaharu Fushan, but the other singers also didn't quite understand...
But this was written and composed by Naoki Nagayama after all, maybe it had such a meaning from the beginning!
However... it's a scumbag returning, discovering love, and struggling...
Thinking of Naoki Nagayama's reputation and situation before dating Akina Nakamori, the eyes of the crowd looking at Naoki Nagayama became a bit strange!
Ah, right, I heard that when the novel "Full House" first came out, there were rumors that it was a novel based on Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori as the prototypes!!
This, this, this... doesn't this match up!
Xinyisi, who was silently not speaking on the side, had eyes full of gossip flames, looking at the scene in front of him and frantically slapping his thighs in his heart!
"That's it, that's it, it's a song about Naoki Nagayama writing his own state of mind!
I must write it into my memoir!!!"
Naoki Nagayama here, although he felt something was wrong, couldn't care about it, he still had to guide Masaharu Fushan!
"Fushan-kun, so when singing, you can't be too deep, you need to be a bit more relaxed... express the tangled emotions in relaxation..."
"Think about the frivolity of a prodigal son who is at ease among women... and then sing with deep affection..."
"Uh..."
Masaharu Fushan finally understood Xu Mudao Xu's words a bit,
"Prodigal son... let me think..."
The original singer of "Destiny" was a mysterious singer named Lee Kyung-seop (why), but the record company never revealed who the real person was until decades later...
Naoki Nagayama saw someone say in some blogs that it might be a chaebol son experiencing life... it might be very possible~
Masaharu Fushan, a country boy from Nagasaki, had never tried being a prodigal... and then he couldn't find the feeling...
"Relax a bit..."
"The tone should be higher..."
"Be more fluent when singing..."
After experiencing it a few times, Masaharu Fushan became more and more nervous... Naoki Nagayama held his chin, feeling that it wouldn't work without some crooked tricks!!
What is the feeling of being a prodigal generally associated with?
It's drinking!!
When slightly tipsy, with a flushed face and hot ears, the corners of the mouth slightly raised, taking a puff of a cigarette, gently spraying it on the female companion's face, causing constant coquettishness...
"Fushan-kun! Let's have a drink!!!"
"Ha?!"
"You are too tense, let's relax!!"
"Ha?!!!"
"By the way, do you smoke?"
"This..."
"Have you ever looked for a hostess?"
"..."
Masaharu Fushan was pulled by Naoki Nagayama to a nearby small bar, his eyes looking at Xu Mudao Xu for help... but he only received feedback that he couldn't help...
Xinyisi's eyes turned, feeling that he absolutely couldn't miss this scene, and hurriedly followed:
"Naoki-san, I know there is a very good bar nearby! I'll take you there!"
"That's just right..."
Watching a few people leave like this, the women left in the recording studio looked at each other... for a while, they didn't know what to say!
"Akina-san... Naoki-san just went out like this?!"
Yukiko Okada asked unexpectedly,
"Left us to go drinking?!"
"Uh..." Akina was speechless for a while...
Xu Mudao Xu replied at this time:
"Naoki-san will be back, this is just a... way to get the singer into the state!"
"He's not going to drink!"
"Is that so~"
Yukiko Okada, as the only outsider, felt uneasy,
"Then... when I want to sing, do I have to drink too?!"
Izumi Sakai also asked:
"Do I have to drink too?!"
"... No, Naoki-san's methods are different for different singers!"
Xu Mudao Xu looked at Yukiko Okada and said,
"Your 'ShaLaLa'... might be dancing!"
"Ha?!!!"
Yukiko Okada opened her eyes wide...
And Izumi Sakai also hurriedly asked:
"Then what about my 'The Initial Position'?"
"Hmm... Quan Shui-chan..."
Xu Mudao Xu guessed according to the style of the song and Naoki Nagayama's style,
"Maybe eat sweets?"
"Ha?!!" ===== CHAPTER 1383 =====
