Chapter 107 Solo Album
Chapter 107 Solo Album
After the "Swallowtail Butterfly" audition ended, Yang Du finally had some free time and entered his vacation mode of playing games every day.
Unfortunately, his most loyal and courageous teammates in the canyon, Zhou Feng, Liu Ji, and Zhao Yiren, were busy with internships and writing papers and could not always answer the call, resulting in his ten defeats out of ten battles.
It was so moving that it brought tears to the eyes of anyone who heard it.
With no other option, Yang Du started playing a tree-chopping game where he could continuously grow stronger by spending money. His combat power was clearly visible, and in just three days, he was entrusted with an important task by the alliance leader and became the vice alliance leader.
One word: awesome!
But even though it's a vacation, some things still need to be settled, like Liang Bin's situation.
Yang Du had previously searched for him on Baidu. This old man was mainly active in the 1980s and 90s. He did write songs and work as a producer back then, but after the turn of the millennium, he basically transformed into a so-called critic and association leader, and has not produced any music since.
Yuan Xiuqing analyzed, "There are many such people. They probably can't write anything decent anymore, but they are unwilling to quit, so they change careers and rely on their seniority to dictate the industry."
And there are quite a few people like this in the industry.
Yang Du wholeheartedly agreed with this, saying that whether such a person has become detached from the market and the masses is as obvious as a louse on a bald man's head.
"Weren't you previously expressing your concerns about the country and its people in 'Literary World,' worrying that 'Swallowtail Butterfly' had lost its soul?"
As Yang Du opened Word, he muttered to himself, "Now, enjoy yourself to the fullest in the world of the great writer, Governor Yang. I suppose you also agree that only flowers nurtured by hardship can bloom most beautifully."
Thus, in Yang Du's writing, Mr. Liang Bin, the vice president of the Classical Music Association, is transformed into a female dacha driver named Wen Wu, who works from dawn till dusk every day.
Perhaps because of Liang Bin's heartfelt performance, Yang Du wrote very smoothly.
The story begins at the entrance of the residential area during the morning rush hour, which is also the part where Wenwu meets her mother-in-law.
Wenwu arrived at the designated location on time, but after waiting for five minutes without anyone showing up, she had no choice but to call.
"I didn't see you?" came an old voice from the other end of the phone. It was an old lady, played by Professor Jiang Yinglan.
"I was at the designated location, at the entrance of the residential area, in a white car with its hazard lights on."
What are hazard lights?
A single question completely stunned Wenwu.
"It's just... my car lights are flashing..."
"Ah, I see you, I see you."
Wenwu breathed a sigh of relief and looked around, but couldn't find the old lady.
Where are you? I can't see you.
"I'm on the balcony." The old lady was quite satisfied with her eyesight, as she could see clearly even from that far away.
balcony?!
"Are you still on the balcony? Haven't you come down?"
Wenwu felt like her head had been hit and was buzzing. Wasn't this just making things difficult for her?
But having no other choice, and for the sake of making a living, he patiently said, "Okay, then come downstairs now, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the complex."
"No rush, no rush, it'll be quick. I'm slow on my feet, it takes me ten minutes to take the elevator, you can wait a little longer."
"Ten minutes?" Wenwu was really anxious. "I've already been waiting for you here for five minutes. It's rush hour now, I can't wait that long, otherwise—"
"It's not like this is my first time taking a taxi; it's always worked before. Why can't you?" the old woman said, clearly displeased. "Besides, I'm old enough as it is. What's wrong with you waiting for me? Honestly, didn't your parents teach you anything about respecting the elderly and caring for the young?"
Wenwu really wanted to say that you wouldn't be down for more than ten minutes, so why take a taxi so early? She makes her living during the morning rush hour.
But what came out of his mouth was: "Okay, then hurry up."
"Oh, you young people, don't rush me. Let me tell you, when you get to my age, you'll know how tough life is. I'll come down after I've brushed my teeth and washed my face."
Well, it turns out we need to wash up first.
[Is Wenwu stupid? Her mother-in-law is this kind of person, and she's even dating her son (pinches her philtrum)]
"So you got divorced later."
"If you feel wronged by earning this money, you don't have to do it." My God, is that even human language? What a sharp-tongued and mean old lady, just like my mother-in-law.
—"Sister, tell me about your mother-in-law. I'm begging you, give Governor Yang some inspiration."
[Who would hail a taxi from upstairs and then have the nerve to complain about it? (Earthquake in my pupils)]
Having worked in the service industry for eight years, I'd like to summarize my approach in three key points: The customer is king! What kind of attitude is this? I'm going to complain about you!
【Aaaaaahh ...
The moment the article was published, a familiar mechanical voice echoed in my mind.
"—Task Evaluation: Heart-stirring!"
"—Reward coefficient: 100%!"
"—Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: 1000 vocal experience points."
"—Advanced Vocal Performance (2700/10000)!"
"Huh? It's vocal experience again."
When I wrote about Yang Du's advanced vocal skills in "My Boyfriend Got Married," I felt a sense of exhilaration in my voice after warming it up.
Yang Du gained another 1000 experience points today, and he felt that his vocal function had been strengthened again. He felt that he could now easily sing things that he couldn't perform before, and he could even sing high notes that would have broken his voice.
In other words, Yang Du's vocal performance ability has now reached the level of a professional singer.
"That's interesting." Yang Du imagined the future. "Does this mean I can produce an album for myself?"
A songwriter who doesn't want to be a singer isn't a good producer.
In fact, Yang Du had thought about singing and releasing albums on the day he got the system, but at that time he was at most a karaoke enthusiast, enough to fool laymen.
Of course, if you really insist on recording an album in a studio, you can also do it through post-production.
But in that case, he would be a pure studio singer, relying entirely on auto-tuning and post-production.
The so-called "million-dollar sound engineer" refers to this situation: there will be too many car crash scenes, and one after another, the most memorable car crash scenes will trend on social media.
It's different now.
"I sing the songs myself. I can handle all aspects of the songwriting, composition, arrangement, production, vocal tuning, and mixing. It's a pity that I haven't mastered the mastering skills yet, otherwise it would truly be a case of keeping the benefits within the family."
The only pity is that it's already the end of October, and he still has at least three single projects in hand, so he definitely won't have the time and energy to produce his first album this year.
"Let's make a preliminary plan for the start of next year," Yang Du wrote in his notebook.
He had just made a note of it when the system beeped again.
"—The host has accumulated five 'Heart-stirring' evaluations!"
"—Congratulations, host! You have achieved the achievement [Constant Writing LV1]!"
"—Bonus Reward: 5 Lottery Draw Attempts!"
Yang Du's eyes widened instantly. "Penmanship never stops LV1, does that mean there's LV2, LV3...?"
It's worth exploring further.
"lottery!"
"—Congratulations, host, you have obtained the following items:"
