Chapter 180 Choosing a Singer
Luo Li decided to defeat these haters with her talent and prove with her songs that she truly deserved the titles of "God of Songs" and "Golden Song".
Didn't they say the theme she drew was one she was good at? Didn't they say she wouldn't have won the Golden Melody Award if she had chosen a different theme? Then she should just release the song with a different theme.
Soon, six songs with distinct styles and clear themes were created. These six songs correspond to six other themes in the first two episodes of "I Am a Composer," excluding friendship and poetry, and cover a wide range of emotions, including the bittersweetness of family relationships and the joys and sorrows of love.
From passionate rock to melodious folk songs to deeply affectionate traditional Chinese music, she handles each style with ease.
After finishing her work, Luo Li couldn't wait to call her agent, Song Hui. Song Hui sounded tired on the other end of the line, but upon hearing Luo Li's determined words, she immediately perked up.
"Sister Hui, please notify the singers who are available tomorrow to audition. I need to record six songs to respond to those false rumors." Luo Li's tone was resolute and left no room for argument.
Knowing Luo Li's determination, Song Hui agreed without hesitation: "Okay, don't worry, I'll arrange it right away."
After a sleepless night, Luo Li eagerly awaited the next day, hoping to find a suitable singer as soon as possible to present these works perfectly.
As the first rays of sunlight shone on the city's skyscrapers, Luo Li arrived at the company early.
Pushing open that familiar door, a long-lost sense of warmth welled up inside. Everything in the company was still busy yet orderly, with staff hurrying about, busy with their respective tasks.
She walked straight to Song Hui's office, and the moment she pushed open the door, a figure on the sofa came into view—it was Ke Shiyin.
Ke Shiyin, the only female singer in the entertainment industry, saw Luo Li and her eyes lit up with surprise. She smiled charmingly and said, "Little A Li, it's been a long time! Do you have any songs suitable for your older sister to sing? I haven't released a new song in a long time either. Write one for me, please." Her voice was gentle and pleasant, with a hint of coquetry.
Luo Li's face also lit up with a bright smile, and she quickly stepped forward: "Sister Shiyin, I've seen that you've been very busy with your schedule lately, so I didn't dare to bother you. What a coincidence, I actually have a song here, and as soon as I finished writing it, I felt that it was perfect for you."
As she spoke, Luo Li carefully pulled out a sheet of music from the thick stack of sheet music in her hand and handed it to Ke Shiyin with both hands.
Ke Shiyin took the sheet music, her eyes full of anticipation, and began to study it carefully. Her gaze wandered between the lyrics and the melody, sometimes frowning slightly as she fell into deep thought; sometimes nodding gently, a look of appreciation on her face.
Luo Li watched quietly from the side, feeling both nervous and expectant, as if she were waiting for an important trial.
Just then, Song Hui hurriedly walked into the office, her forehead still covered with fine beads of sweat, clearly having just finished a series of tasks.
Upon seeing Luo Li, she disregarded her rest and hurriedly said, "The singers are all waiting for you at the recording studio. Go over there quickly and choose a suitable singer."
Luo Li took a deep breath to calm her nervousness, nodded to Ke Shiyin and Song Hui, and turned to walk towards the recording studio.
Arriving at the recording studio door, Luo Li paused for a moment, gathered her thoughts, and then pushed open the door.
Instantly, a cacophony of sounds filled the air; a dozen or so singers sat huddled together, conversing quietly. Upon seeing Luo Li enter, they all stood up, their faces displaying polite smiles and expectant expressions.
Luo Li glanced around and saw several familiar faces. She nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then walked to the front of the group, cleared her throat, and said, "Thank you all for taking the time to audition today. This song is of great significance, and I hope we can find the perfect way to perform it together." Her voice was clear and melodious, carrying a reassuring power.
The auditions officially began, and the first singer was a young male singer with a clear and bright voice, carrying a youthful vigor.
He took the sheet music from Luo Li, looked at it carefully several times, then closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to sing.
The singing echoed in the recording studio. Luo Li closed his eyes slightly, listening carefully to every note. Although his voice was beautiful, his emotional expression was somewhat immature, failing to fully convey the profound emotions in the song.
Luo Li gently shook her head, a hint of regret on her face: "Thank you, your voice is very good, but this song may not be suitable for you. I hope there will be opportunities to collaborate in the future."
The male singer was somewhat disappointed, but still politely thanked Luo Li and stepped aside.
Next, a mature and poised female singer stepped forward. Her voice was rich and resonant, and she had extensive singing experience.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she demonstrated her solid singing skills, conveying the emotions in the song with exquisite detail. Luo Li listened intently, a look of appreciation on her face.
However, in some of the high notes, the female singer's breath control was slightly insufficient, which greatly diminished the song's expressiveness. After a moment's thought, Luo Li sincerely said, "Your singing was excellent, and your emotional grasp was also very good, but you might need to polish your handling of the high notes a bit more. If there's an opportunity, we can discuss together how to better interpret this song."
The female singer humbly accepted Luo Li's advice, her eyes still filled with anticipation for the collaboration.
And so, one singer after another auditioned, and Luo Li maintained a high level of focus and patience, listening carefully to each person's performance and giving objective evaluations and suggestions.
Some singers have excellent vocal qualities, but their understanding and interpretation of songs are flawed; some singers have delicate emotional expression, but their singing skills are lacking.
Luo Li weighed the options in her mind, searching for the perfect match.
Time passed by, and the auditions were nearing their end, but Luo Li still had one song for which she hadn't found a singer she was completely satisfied with.
She felt a pang of anxiety, but she knew she couldn't rush things and settle for less. Just as she was starting to feel disappointed, the last singer stepped forward.
This is a male singer named Lin Rui. He looks a little shy, but his eyes reveal a firmness and confidence.
He took the sheet music, looked at it silently for a while, then looked up, his gaze meeting Luo Li's, and nodded slightly. His voice was deep and magnetic; the moment he opened his mouth, it seemed to possess a magical power, drawing everyone into the world depicted in the song.
His singing is like a delicate painting, unfolding the emotions in the song layer by layer. Every note is full of deep affection, and every lyric is captivating.
In the high notes, his voice was high-pitched and passionate, yet steady, as if it had a power to break through the clouds.
Luo Li's eyes gradually brightened, and a surprised smile appeared on her face. She knew it was him.
Lin Rui's performance not only perfectly interpreted the song's artistic conception, but also gave the song a unique vitality.
When Lin Rui finished singing the last note, the recording studio fell into a brief silence, followed by enthusiastic applause.
Luo Li stood up, walked quickly to Lin Rui, and excitedly grasped his hand: "Your singing was amazing, you're the one! I believe we can present this song perfectly to everyone."
Lin Rui's face was also filled with a joyful smile, and he nodded vigorously: "Thank you for your recognition, Teacher Luo Li. I will definitely do my best."
