Early in the morning, Zhou Shu notified Julia and asked her to take Taylor to the company's recording studio to try out her new song "Tik-tok".
When Taylor heard that Li Qing had written her first song, she quickly returned to the company from the announcement place.
"Where is the song? Where is it?"
As soon as he returned to the company and walked into the office lobby, when he saw Zhou Shu, Taylor hurriedly walked up to ask.
"Faded" has dominated the Billboard charts for four consecutive weeks, which has made all the employees of the company know Taylor, but Taylor has no airs of a big star at all. As soon as he came to the company, he walked towards Mr. Zhou with a roar.
"I have it in my hand."
Zhou Shu handed the music and lyrics to Taylor: "You should familiarize yourself with the lyrics first. I have already ordered people to record the music. Once you memorize the lyrics by heart, you will be able to record directly."
"ok! ok!"
Taylor took the lyrics and music sheet, made an OK gesture, then found a stool to sit on, lowered his head to read the new song.
Next to Taylor, a sexy otaku sat there, his whole body trembling with excitement.
Since Taylor publicly appeared on major programs, Taylor has become one of the most popular girl singers in the United States. In addition, her ethereal voice has been described as a rare occurrence in a century, and she must show off every show she attends.
’s dolphin sound and so on, Taylor’s popularity soared like a rocket.
To put it simply, today's Taylor, with her delicate and oriental-style face, has become the first love in the eyes of teenagers in Europe and the United States.
Although Taylor is twenty years old, this does not prevent her from having a young and delicate face.
Because of Taylor's arrival, the staff in the office lobby of the newly formed BGM held their breath for fear of disturbing Taylor's memorization of lyrics.
"How about this song?"
At this time, Julia turned to ask.
Zhou Shu's face looked a little strange, and she said: "It's pretty good."
Julia frowned: "Li Qing's songs are very popular in China. I know this, but he has never stayed abroad. The songs he creates are most likely not in line with the tastes of European and American fans. I think we should find
Some top songwriters came to arrange his songs to suit the tastes of European and American fans."
Zhou Wei said with a smile: "The boss once wrote "Kiss Goodbye". After this song was adapted by the rock band Mike, it also became popular in Europe and the United States. I think music has no borders, and the main thing is the lyrics..."
When talking about this, Zhou Shuo thought of the lyrics of "Tik-tok", and his expression suddenly became unnatural: "Maybe, um, the lyrics may need to be changed..."
At this moment, Taylor, who had been reading the lyrics quietly, suddenly started dancing, then stood up, pinched his waist, and said with a smile: "It's so fun!"
"What's wrong?" Julia asked with a smile.
Taylor said excitedly: "The lyrics are very interesting, Julia, look."
Julia took the lyrics and music book. After reading it for a while, she raised her head in surprise and looked at Zhou Shu: "Li Qing wrote this himself?"
"Yes." Zhou asked, "What's the problem?"
"No, there's no problem, it's just...a little bit beyond my expectation."
Julia said in surprise: "Did you not expect that China also has a party culture?"
"What?" Zhou Shu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Indeed, there are, but not many."
Julia looked at the lyrics and music book carefully, and finally said with emotion: "The lyrics of this song are very descriptive. It is a rare good song."
"Is this song good?" Zhou Shu asked.
"It's really good."
Julia shrugged: "Maybe the real genius is to be able to control various styles!"
"Yes, the boss is indeed a genius!"
Taylor laughed and said: "He is the person who can play "World War II Rhapsody" and now he has written a song like "Tik-tok". Wow, that's so cool!"
"Do you like this song?" Zhou Shu asked.
Taylor nodded: "I like it."
Hearing this, Zhou Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Taylor, the company is about to release your first album. Of course, before that, we will also test the waters with a single using the song "Tik-tok"...
…”
"Oh, I'm releasing a single again?" Taylor said with a wink.
In the European and American music circles, when a singer releases a new album, he usually releases a single to test the market, and then determines the production volume of the album.
A single is usually a nicer song, created to expand its influence.
Singles are usually singled out by artists and record labels for separate releases.
Through repeated broadcasts on radio and television stations, fans are attracted to buy single records.
The sales ranking of singles also becomes the singles ranking list, such as the Billboard singles ranking list.
This invisibly reflects the popularity of a certain song within a certain period of time, and at the same time brings a good reputation to the singer or band.
This kind of single that is designed to be on the charts is also called a hit, which means a popular song.
However, for heavy metal and electronic music, not many singles can be on the charts, and even fewer can get good rankings (except for those sensational slow songs). After all, this is a kind of noisy music, and not everyone can enjoy it.
Tolerable.
However, the appearance of "faded" this year broke this rule and seemed to herald the arrival of the electronic music era.
This is also the reason why Taylor's net worth has skyrocketed.
Although there are electronic music singers in the European and American music circles, Taylor pushed this genre to its peak. She was the first singer to be in the top three of the Billboard singles chart, and she dominated the Billboard chart for a month.
And now, the emergence of "tik-tok" seems to indicate that Taylor will ascend to the throne of the movie queen.
Once a single is tested, as long as the results are not outrageous, an album containing fifteen songs will usually follow quickly.
Because there was music score, the song "tik-tok" was completed in less than a day.
Later, Zhou Shu made the song into mp3 format and sent it to Li Qing via email.
After listening to the music of "Tik-tok", Li Qing corrected several mistakes, added footnotes in more than 20 places, and sent it to Zhou Shu.
So the next day, according to the big boss's footnote, BGM Recording Studio once again started to correct "Tik-tok". The corrected "Tik-tok" was obviously much more cheerful than the previous version, and had electronic music elements.
Also more.
In the afternoon, Taylor came to the recording studio and started recording the new single "Tik-tok".
“ake-up-in-the-morning-feeling-like-p-diddy…”
Taylor's voice is beautiful and ethereal, and its unique dolphin sound often shocks people's hearts suddenly. This has been recognized by the European and American music circles when she sang "Faded".
But when singing "Tik-tok", Taylor's voice seemed unusually wild and naughty.
To put it simply, she sings very casually.
And it is precisely because of this seemingly casual singing that it actually brings a happy effect when singing "tik-tok".
Looking at Taylor singing and dancing in the recording studio, Julia finally couldn't help it anymore. She smiled and said, "What were you thinking about when you sang this song?"
Taylor took off his headphones and blinked: "I'm imagining what it will be like when I have a party. How did I sing?"
Julia gave a thumbs up: "Great!"
Taylor's eyes were filled with smiles. She put on her headphones and continued humming:
“don’t-stop, make-it-pop
dj, blo-my-speak-up
…”
When Taylor was practicing singing "Tiktok", because the sound was played out, Taylor in the recording studio was singing, but in the recording room separated by the soundproof glass, Zhou Shu, Julia and others were all holding back.
He kept swaying his body to the music.
It really seemed like we were having a happy party.
"Really good songs can really affect emotions."
Julia smiled and said: "I think this song is likely to push Taylor to a peak, even though she is only a new singer now."
"I agree." Zhou Shu smiled.
Julia said: "So, is it time to give her a new contract?"
Zhou Shu looked at Julia in surprise.
Julia said jokingly: "Actually, I'm also worried that she will run away after becoming famous." ——
ps: tiktok is a song that I often listen to on repeat. I don’t know what you think...
