Although I felt in my heart that Xiao Jie's singing was indeed not interesting, after all, the other party was a senior in the music industry and a respectable figure, so he still had to give him face.

You can't point your finger in the face of a king and say that the other person can't sing well. That wouldn't be enmity.

Ye Zhiqiu certainly understands this point of human sophistication, but he will not be duplicitous and deliberately hide his opinions.

Ye Zhiqiu considered his words and said, "Director Zhang, my opinion is the same as yours."

"Xiao Tianwang sings very well, and it's not because of his technical skills."

"When I composed this song, I imagined that the words 'Borrow Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years' were uttered by an emperor, and the interpretation should have the feeling of an 'emperor's voice'."

"If the singer's tone is thicker and more powerful, it will be more suitable."

Zhang Jiayin's eyes lit up and he was awakened by Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu pointed out the problem at once.

Thick! Or to put it more appropriately, domineering!

Xiao Jie's voice is gentle, but it does lack a domineering feeling!

There is no way a gentle scholar can interpret the feeling of an emperor who fights on the battlefield and establishes great achievements.

Tone is something that is different for everyone and cannot be changed.

Zhang Jiayin realized clearly that he would have to change his singing voice.

"Haha, I think there are many different types of emperors: tyrants, benevolent kings, heroic kings, and mediocre kings."

At this time, Xiao Jie took the initiative to speak out.

Ye Zhiqiu's words were very clear, and he naturally understood them.

That's why he was anxious. Now that he had the opportunity to sing this classic song, he didn't want to let it slip away from him under any circumstances.

Xiao Jie also noticed that Ye Zhiqiu, the creator of "Borrowing from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years", played a decisive role, and Zhang Jiayin obviously valued his opinions.

Xiao Jie smiled and said, "How about I sing it a few more times and try? Maybe I'll find the feeling."

"Brother Ye, I really like this song. I think it suits me very well. Why don't you give me a chance to collaborate?"

The meaning of Xiao Jie's words was very obvious, he was almost begging Ye Zhiqiu.

There are many singers who can sing, but this kind of classic song is really rare.

At this time, it was inappropriate for Ye Zhiqiu to answer or not.

If he didn't agree, King Xiao Tian would beg with shame. He was so loud and angry, so it would offend others.

If you agree, if the song is performed in a way that the creator doesn't approve of, wouldn't that be disrespectful to yourself?

Moreover, the contract has been signed, and the decision of who will sing the theme song of "Han Dynasty" rests with the chief director Zhang Jiayin.

Before Ye Zhiqiu spoke, Song Mei took the lead and said with a smile: "We also want to cooperate with Xiao Tianwang, but who will sing the theme song depends on Director Zhang's wishes."

Zhang Jiayin also saw that Xiao Jie did have a very strong desire to sing this song, but he was not an indecisive person, so he said directly: "Xiao Tianwang, our crew should think about it again first."

"No matter who sings the last song, it will not be a small expense to trouble you today."

Even the "hard work pay" was mentioned, so it was obvious that someone needed to be replaced.

Xiao Jie was silent and looked at each other with his manager, feeling helpless in their hearts.

Zhang Jiayin is well-known in the industry for his perfectionism and meticulousness in doing things. For the sake of the perfection of his works, his decisions will not be changed.

It's not appropriate to change someone to sing. This kind of thing is normal. There is nothing wrong with Zhang Jiayin's approach.

But I don’t know how good it is. It feels so uncomfortable to watch myself pass by a classic!

The two of them forced a smile to say goodbye, but after walking out of the recording studio, their expressions turned ugly.

...

In the recording studio, after Xiao Jie and his manager left, Zhang Jiayin's first words were, "Brother Ye, can you sing this song?"

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned and asked curiously: "Director Zhang, aren't you going to try with other singers?"

Zhang Jiayin shook his head, "The version you sang in the demo is closer to what I feel in my heart."

"And if you try again and try a few things that don't fit, it will be too late."

At this time, the assistant director Liu Song, who had been silent just now, suddenly said: "Or, Brother Ye, do you have any suitable singers to recommend?"

Liu Song had a deeper understanding of Ye Zhiqiu. He knew that the singer of the theme song "Decent" of "Farewell to My Ex" was the one that Ye Zhiqiu hired to sing the song, which was a little-known female singer named Ding Jie.

The subsequent effects were obvious.

"Yes!" Zhang Jiayin's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "Brother Ye, you are the creator, and you know best what kind of voice this song needs to sing well, or do you have any suitable singer recommendations?"

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned and subconsciously searched for the singer he knew in his memory.

First of all, the song "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years" is extremely difficult, and the singer must have good high notes and singing skills.

Secondly, you can’t be too young, otherwise you won’t be able to sing the “emperor’s voice” that reflects the vicissitudes of life and the domineering feeling of a great talent in his twilight years.

I guess I am twenty or thirty years old, so I might be able to give it a try.

He doesn't know many singers, especially those who meet these two conditions. It can be said that there is not a single one...

Huh? Wait.

Ye Zhiqiu suddenly remembered someone.

Sun Lei, Sun Tianwang.

The first time I met Sun Tianwang was in the semi-finals of "Singing a New Voice" where the stars assisted in the singing. At that time, Sun Tianwang took the initiative to show his kindness. Later, they met at the Huahai TV Spring Festival Gala and the China New Song Award Ceremony.

This Sun Heavenly King is about 50 years old. Although he is considered a Qi Heavenly King, it does not mean that his strength is not good.

Ye Zhiqiu was deeply impressed by the live performance of Sun Tianwang and contestant Wang Ping singing high notes in the semi-finals of "Sing a New Voice". In his impression, Sun Tianwang's voice was powerful and powerful, which was just right for him.

When Ye Zhiqiu proposed the name "Sun Lei", everyone was stunned.

Song Mei nodded thoughtfully, and assistant director Liu Song's eyes lit up and he said, "Why didn't we think of that!"

"Director Zhang, Sun Tianwang is from the northwest. His famous work in the early years was Prairie Songs. It might be really good!"

"It is said that Sun Tianwang's family is in Shangjing, you can try it!"

Zhang Jiayin nodded, "Ask for King Sun's contact information."

"Private number, call him directly."

Usually the process of this kind of business cooperation is to contact the other party's company or agent first, but time is tight, and with Zhang Jiayin's status in the industry, there is no problem in contacting a private phone number.

"No need." Ye Zhiqiu said, "I know him fairly well and I have his contact information."

Zhang Jiayin thought for a moment, "Okay, please help Brother Ye build a bridge."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled, opened WeChat, searched for "Sun Lei"'s contact, and made a voice call.

After two rings, the call was connected, and King Sun's laughter came from the other side.
Chapter completed!
