This star is from the earth

Note: "In the Name of the Father" - Jay Chou

————

Zhang Zishang started to sing, and the way he sang was exactly the same as Han Jue sang in the last episode of the show.

However, after listening to a sentence, Han Jue patted the shoulder of the sound engineer next to him, asking him to pause.

Han Jue thought for a while, pressed the call button, and said to Zhang Zishang inside: "The pause after the word [微] should be longer."

The first word is not enough.

Han Jue's strictness surprised a group of onlookers, and they all speculated about the reason, including conspiracy theories like "I'm afraid [Blue Whale] doesn't know how powerful he is".

However, Han Jue didn't care about other people's reactions, with a calm face, just waiting for Zhang Zishang on the other side of the transparent glass.

"Oh!" Zhang Zishang pursed his lips, exhaled, practiced silently, and then waved to the outside.

Second time.

"It's still the word [微], a little longer." Han Jue said.

Third time.

"It's been too long." Han Jue frowned critically.

[Does it have to be accurate to a few tenths of a second? Dog ears? ! ] Zhang Zishang was a little bit overwhelmed.

If Han Jue didn't look serious and took good care of him last time, Zhang Zishang would definitely think that Han Jue was trying to trick him on purpose.

After a few times, the first word finally passed.

Zhang Zishang went on to sing: "[The cool morning dew wets the black dress, there is fog on the stone road and my father is whispering...]"

Han Jue called a timeout again, and said into the microphone: "Do it again, with a lower tone."

pause.

"Again, with some emotion."

stop again.

"Come again, the last [whispering] lighten up."

The eleventh time, the twelfth time... until the twentieth time, it hasn't passed yet.

It's not enough here, it's not enough there. And almost forty minutes had passed.

"Come out first." Han Jue looked at Zhang Zishang's sweat-soaked hair, pondered for a while, and let Zhang Zishang come out first.

Zhang Zishang took off his earphones in frustration, and walked out anxiously, waiting for Han Jue's reprimand.

However, Han Jue didn't say anything cruel, but gave Zhang Zishang a science popularization: "This is my mistake, I forgot to tell you. The background of this song is the West, Italian gangsters. In Christianity, [In the name of the father] means [in the name of God]. The God of the West is almost the God of our China. Talking to God, many times you are actually talking to yourself..."

These seemingly irrelevant things are actually necessary.

Han Jue asked his co-producer Cohen of American Records before: [What is the role of a music producer? 】

Cohen answered Han Jue like this: [The job of a music producer is not simply to let the singer sing the lyrics, but to let the singer sing what he didn't write. In many cases, the touching part of the lyrics lies in the overtones. 】

The overtones are exactly the emotions in the words.

After being taught by Ke En, it was unbearable for Han Jue's ears to hear Zhang Zishang's monotonous songs with nothing in them.

"Sing with emotions." Han Jue said.

Zhang Zishang listened carefully and silently digested Han Jue's words. Zhang Zishang finally asked: "So what emotions should I sing this song with? Prayer? Introspection?"

"Repentance, redemption." Han Jue said as it should.

"Repentance and redemption..." Zhang Zishang murmured, and then listened to the video on his phone.

However, Zhang Zishang's face seemed a little embarrassed.

"how?"

Zhang Zishang put down the earphones, he was a little entangled, finally thought about it, and chose to be blunt: "But Mr. Han, I listened to your previous version... It seems that I don't feel the emotion of confession."

【There is no emotion of repentance...】

Han Jue froze for a moment.

Whether it was in his previous life or when he was recording before, he sang the lyrics of "In the Name of the Father" without emotion. Because in Han Jue's opinion, this song is telling a story. Besides, it's still rap, what kind of emotion do you want?

Zhang Zishang learned from that version, and the lyrics he sang agreed to be boring.

"Wait a minute." Han Jue said solemnly.

Zhang Zishang sat upright and waited obediently.

Others don't know what Han Jue is doing.

[I won't be punctured by the dealer, I feel embarrassed. ] Someone thought.

Han Jue didn't care what other people thought. He vaguely felt that he had missed something, stroked his hair, and looked down at the lyrics over and over again.

【Why do I think this is a song of confession? 】Han Jue was very puzzled.

Han Jue read it word by word, over and over again, recalling while reading.

until……

After a long time, just when everyone thought that Han Jue would not be able to get off the stage, Han Jue suddenly stood up.

"Let me sing it first." Han Jue closed his eyes and rolled up the lyrics in his palm.

"... Oh." Zhang Zishang blinked and responded.

The entire recording studio was quiet.

Then, under the gaze of forty pairs of eyes, Han Jue stepped on the wooden floor, step by step, with a clear voice.

Han Jue pushed open the door of the recording studio from the side.

He walked into the recording studio softly, like walking into a confessional.

Han Jue stood in the recording studio, looked out through a large piece of glass, and had a face-to-face meeting with more than forty people outside.

looking at each other.

This is the first time for Han Jue to seriously look at the strangers opposite. Han Jue felt that he saw something hidden in their eyes.

[This is sadness... this is anger... this is anticipation...] Han Jue felt the past one by one.

Outside the glass, the sound engineer gave Han Jue a thumbs up and asked if he was ready.

Han Jue came to his senses, returned a thumbs up, and said, "Play the accompaniment from the beginning."

Then there was an elegant and retro sound of the violin, and it was soothing and peaceful. Han Jue began to speak Italian.

Then the tone changed and transformed into a depressive, gloomy and suspenseful black atmosphere. Han Jue's prayer also became dangerous: "【...I pray to God, your grace, to forgive my sins on this day...】"

After the prayer was over, four scalp-numbing screams sounded suddenly.

The accompaniment officially sounded.

Han Jue sang:

【

The cool morning dew wets the black dress

There is fog on the cobblestone road, and my father is whispering

Helpless awareness can only be more cruel

All for the way to the sanctuary

The lingering fog hides the intention

Who softly paces and stops

Before we have time to cry, the bullets passing through take away the temperature

】

The same singing method, the same pause, but whoever listens to it will be able to hear that it is very different from Zhang Zishang's version.

Moreover, every time Han Jue sang two lines of lyrics, the emotions seemed to be different.

When it came to the last sentence, the whispering tone was basically the same as a prayer.

People looked at Han Jue, and Han Jue closed his eyes, making people feel that he was confessing.

And Han Jue is really confessing.

Not for him, but for the predecessor.

Now, here, repent.

【

We all sin, in different ways

I can decide who is right and who should sleep

Arguments can't be settled, in never-ending nights

shut your mouth the only favor

Those who stand in front are all guilty, and there is no way out if they regret it

Judging in the name of the father, that doesn't feel like the right word

It's like laughing and weeping, staring into total darkness

The tragedy that stops the tragedy from spreading will make me intoxicated

...

】

Han Jue sang this passage, but Gu Fan recalled the last night they met with a sad expression in his mind.

In one late night, the predecessor without hesitation left all kinds of encumbrances, all kinds of fetters, and the only person in the world who really cared about him.

In his previous life, he complained in his diary that Gu Fan was an idiot and betrayed him. However, in Gu Fan's opinion, it's not because his predecessor betrayed him.

The profession of celebrity is always facing risks and opportunities, and every choice can affect the trajectory of life. The life experience and wisdom of ordinary middle-aged people are not enough to deal with it, let alone a spoiled teenager.

The predecessor was loved by everyone before his debut, but he was still not satisfied. Bewitched by a few compliments from [Jinsha], I thought I could jump to the highest place and overlook the whole world with a little jumping.

Then he left behind the love he had been pursuing since he was a child.

Do you have any regrets?

Yes.

【

Loneliness begins to ferment, laughing at me non-stop

memories gradually burning

The picture of innocence once appeared cruelly and tenderly

Vulnerability time is up, let's pray together

...

】

After his predecessor fell into the abyss, he thought he was abandoned by the whole world, and no one really cared about him or loved him anymore. He was also ashamed to face those people in the past, and finally chose to lie down in a warm bathtub and kill himself.

However, the photos in the study room showed that he was not unattended. His teammates miss him, and his mentor always misses him.

Han Jue opened his eyes and saw several middle-aged men and women in casual clothes outside the glass of the recording studio.

They looked at Han Jue with tears in their eyes, a little excited and full of pride, and gestured their thumbs to Han Jue in the recording studio.

Han Jue was a little dazed.

who are they? Why give him the thumbs up?

He doesn't look like a leader, nor does he look like an entertainer, but his temperament makes people feel like an industry insider.

ah……

Looking at each other's warm eyes and proud smile, Han Jue suddenly knew who they were.

The left eye is a little sore again.

【

Merciful Father, I have fallen into

A country that does not see sin

please forgive my ego

no one can say no one can say

so hard to bear

Behind the glory is engraved a lonely

...

】

Han Jue sang softly, but the emotion behind the lyrics was inexplicably heavy.

Han Jue sang with a state of almost atonement and repentance, as if he was expressing a deep pain in his heart.

He sang, singing for his predecessor.

Before a star becomes a famous celebrity, the social channels he comes into contact with are actually narrower than imagined. In addition to business relationships, the people I came into contact with in the past were my own people around me.

When one person needs to rely on another to gain benefits, it is often difficult for the former to tell the truth to the latter.

Han Jue can fully imagine how his predecessor was coaxed, held, and deceived by the people around him after he moved to [Jinsha]. All the ears can hear are lies like "you are an artist" and "you are a musician".

If one person tells a lie, people will be suspicious, but if a hundred people tell a lie together, the lie will become the truth.

It turns out that self-willedness is not self-willedness, but true temperament. Fighting is not called fighting, it is called manly. The black comments on the Internet are jealousy, it is the navy...

So the more you go on, the more arrogant and conceited you will be.

After arriving at [Jinsha], he lost every bit of what he had.

I don't know if I had fantasies in my mind when I sat in the bathtub with a dead body and mind. Imagine if he could resist the temptation of [Golden Sands], if he hadn't left that night, he would have chosen to advance and retreat with his teammates, if he could have listened to Gu Fan's advice and come back in a low-key manner...

It's a pity that everything is gone.

【

I close my eyes and see again

The picture of that dream

the sky is foggy

father holding my hand

walk gently

The quiet stone road in the morning

...]

After Han Jue stopped, no one in the recording studio spoke for a long time.

In Han Jue's independent workshop-style production room before, although the rough version of "In the Name of the Father" was eye-catching enough, it didn't make people think that such a song could not be written by others.

However, the appearance of the complete version of "In the Name of the Father" has completely convinced the auditory senses of everyone here.

Especially those gold medal producers and composers of [Blue Whale].

The director was very excited, feeling that he had a good eye, so he chose Han Jue.

Zhang Zishang stretched out his hands and scratched his head constantly, trying to suppress the surge in his heart. He finally knew why Wu Keli envied him more and more the more he sang. Because I encountered such a song, it might be able to leave a name in the history of Chinese music.

And those bystanders were in different moods.

Those [Blue Whale] teachers who had taught Han Jue were very proud to see Han Jue handing over such a long-overdue "graduation answer sheet".

Those young entertainers were completely overwhelmed by Han Jue's charm and talent. He completely forgot what Han Jue had done, and looked at Han Jue with enthusiasm.

And those producers and composers stared at Han Jue's face, as if they wanted to see through Han Jue's face and reach Han Jue's brain.

Compared with these people around, the producers and composers know the power of Han Jue's song best.

When they were called, they planned to evaluate Han Jue, an underachiever, and find fault with him. However, seeing Han Jue's talent in [ci], [music], [edit], and [singing], they completely gave up their reserve, scratched their heads and blinked frequently, and hinted at the general manager frantically that they must not miss Han Jue. .

However, anyone who looked at their excited faces could guess what they were thinking.

The general manager glanced at Guan Yi who was hiding in the corner and looking this way, and sighed: [How can I talk about business. 】

But looking at Han Jue in the recording studio, the general manager couldn't help but sigh.

The general manager is the captain of the first-generation group [Blue Whale]. Although he was transferred from an idol to management, his professional ability is still there. Naturally, he can hear the quality of the songs, and he can also see Han Jue's amazing talent.

Although Han Jue was very talented in the past, in the view of the management, he still needs to be polished, and the upper limit is visible. But now, after five years of setbacks, Han Jue's rough jade is finally perfect. The general manager can no longer see Han Jue's upper limit.

If you don't catch a talent like Han Jue, do you think your job is too comfortable?

Seeing this, it is actually almost the same.

After the general manager made a decision, he gave Guan Yi a look, then led a group of people, and Guan Yi left the recording studio lightly.

Inside, Zhang Zishang greeted Han Jue bouncingly, asked this and that, and finally asked Han Jue what the Italian words meant.

Han Jue told him.

"...Then, the middle sentence is [Merciful Jesus, please forgive the sins of the world and give them rest]."

...

...

When Han Jue came out of [Blue Whale], it was already late at night.

The program team had already withdrawn in the evening, but he stayed in [Blue Whale] and Zhang Zishang until the early morning. Although Han Jue sang the model, let Zhang Zishang imitate and learn word by word. But Zhang Zishang still studied very hard.

Han Jue leaned his head against the glass, his expression was in a daze. This was not taught to Zhang Zishang, but it brought him too many feelings today. He needs to digest well.

Xiao Zhou and Guan Yi didn't bother Han Jue for a long time.

"How did you talk with them later?" Han Jue asked suddenly.

"It went well." Guan Yi knew what Han Jue was asking.

After Han Jue sang "In the Name of the Father", the leaders of [Blue Whale] withdrew, and Guan Yi went out with him.

"They want to release a few songs, not for newcomers," Guan Yi said.

"If it's not a rookie singing, then who will sing?"

"Gu Fan."

"He's not a group... oh~" Han Jue was puzzled at first, and then he realized that he came to his senses.

It’s time for Gu Fan and the others to think about their personal development. After all, there are idol groups nearly 30 years old, but they are not the main force of idols anymore. transformed.

Take Gu Fan as an example, he should focus on variety shows and singing in the future.

"What do you think?" Han Jue was willing. But he also wants to hear from his partners.

"I think we can cooperate. It's just shallow cooperation now, and there are many opportunities for cooperation in the future. If you want to choose an ally, [Blue Whale] is really good, with a large body and a good reputation. Fight with [Ai Du] It's true," Guan Yi asked Han Jue, "The most important question is, what is your attitude? Do you want to cooperate?"

Human nature is the sum of social relations. The more solid relationships a person can form, the more powerful that person will be.

"What kind of attitude I can have here is a thing of the past." Han Jue smiled and looked out the window.

"That's fine," Guan Yi said, "The other side said, if our side agrees to sell songs, they plan to let you be Gu Fan's producer."

"Are they so worried about me?"

"Gu Fan gave you a guarantee, don't let him down."

"To live up to... don't say it so strangely, okay?"

Guan Yi didn't refute, but just asked: "Then the preliminary cooperation intention is settled, and the negotiations will start tomorrow?"

Han Jue thought for a while, then nodded.

"Can."

...

...

three days later.

[Blue Whale] announced on the official website that Gu Fan will release a solo single. The released track is written and composed by Han Jue, who will also be the music producer of Gu Fan's next single. Please stay tuned.

For a time, the music industry was shaken.

Not only were they shocked that there was a company that succeeded faster than [Ai Du], they were even more shocked that the company was Han Jue's former boss, [Blue Whale].

After six years, Han Jue, the former traitor of [Blue Whale], returned to [Blue Whale]'s embrace as a collaborator.

It broke out, and I wrote more than 11,000 words. Let's count the votes.
