This star is from the earth

Note: "Million Years Ago" - Adele

————

Cohen looks weak, and he is submissive and soft when getting along with others. However, when it comes to music, he changes his personality and becomes extremely tough.

Han Jue respected Cohen.

To a certain extent, Ke En can be regarded as half of Han Jue's teacher, whether it is singing or music production. So when Master Yan said no, Han Jue couldn't use his status as a co-producer to get Cohen to agree.

But in the same way, Ke En met a man in eight years and waited until Han Jue to teach Han Jue hand in hand. He already regarded Han Jue as a half-student, or the kind of lover with outstanding grades. If the lover insisted on giving it a try, Ke En couldn't bear to refuse.

In the end, Ke En still couldn't hold back Han Jue, so he asked him to "try first".

In the face of bloated students, Cohen believes that appropriate setback education is necessary.

Han Jue slowly walked into the recording studio with the lyrics and began to adjust his emotions. Ke En, on the other hand, was burying his head in eating breakfast, while watching the song he planned to record today, thinking about the atmosphere and layout of the whole song, as well as the tone guidance for Han Jue's singing later.

Han Jue gestured inside, indicating that he was ready, and Ke En put down the lyrics and burgers in his hand, intending to carefully pick out a few questions from Han Jue.

Since the band had already recorded the accompaniment for the entire album, the sound engineer clicked on the accompaniment directly, and the guitar sound came out from the stereo and earphones.

When the prelude fell silent for about half a minute, Han Jue said:

【

I only wanted to have fun

I used to have nothing but to be intoxicated with joy

Learning to fly, learning to run

Learn to fly freely, stop and go freely

Let your heart decide the path under your feet

A young heart is always free

...

To earn my stripes I'd have to pay

There must be sacrifices and sacrifices for glory and advancement

And bear my soul

Even lose yourself, lose your true self

】

After Han Jue sang a verse of the verse, he stopped by himself and looked at Cohen outside the glass.

Cohen slowly removed the elastic from his pocket, tied his long, greasy hair into a ponytail, and got to work.

"Let's do it again, let's try [young] and [soul] emotionally." Cohen spoke to Han Jue in the recording studio through the microphone, while finding out the lyrics of "Million Years Ago".

Han Jue closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then started the second time.

After Han Jue sang it again, Ke En held his chin and pondered for a while, and then said to Han Jue in the recording studio: "Let's do it again, and the last two lines are more emotional."

Han Jue sang it again without saying a word.

Ke En also forgot his original plan, and tried again and again with Han Jue.

"OKOKOK~! Okay, this feels right!" Cohen was very excited, and then decided that this version was useful, so he planned to start recording the chorus part.

However, Han Jue seemed dissatisfied with his performance just now.

"No, do it again." After Han Jue in the recording studio finished speaking calmly, he lowered his head and continued to ponder the lyrics.

The sound engineer looked up at Han Jue in surprise.

He has been in the company for so long, of course he has heard of Cohen before this cooperation, and knows that he is recognized as the most difficult and strictest producer in the company. Only singers have ever said [I think] That's it] and Cohen said "do it again".

Unexpectedly, Han Jue had even stricter requirements on himself.

The sound engineer turned to look at Ke En, and Ke En nodded, meaning to do it again according to Han Jue's meaning.

However, Han Jue repeated the [do it again] twenty times.

When Han Jue asked to come for the 21st time, Ke En said: "Although each time is better than the first time, but from the fifteenth time onwards, the rest are the same. Wait for the last time."

Han Jue nodded.

It's just that after repeating it again, although Han Jue didn't speak, he was still dissatisfied when he took two steps back and unconsciously touched his lips with his fingers, obviously still thinking about it.

Ke En thinks that Han Jue has got into a dead end, but before Ke En can say anything, Han Jue walks out of the recording studio.

Just when Ke En and the others thought that Han Jue was not thinking clearly and came out to have a quiet time, Han Jue said:

"Wait while I get a guitar."

He wanted to play and sing by himself.

If the role of the producer Cohen is to control the overall control of a song when recording a song, then the job of the producer Han Jue is to organize the layout of a song in terms of creation .

The song "Million Years Ago" only has guitar accompaniment throughout, so Han Jue has to play the guitar by himself now, which means that the original accompaniment is no longer available.

Cohen didn't say no.

Han Jue brought the guitar into the recording studio, and after connecting the guitar to the equipment, he sat on the stool and started playing.

Han Jue's changes are really big. He greatly shortened the forty-second prelude to five well-arranged but low-pitched sounds, and Han Jue started to follow.

This time the accompaniment was under his control, and Han Jue became more free in punctuating sentences and articulating words. A few words seem to have missed the point, but they add more aura.

Han Jue was so familiar with the lyrics, he closed his eyes and immersed himself in playing and singing, singing softly, telling the story slowly.

After finishing the verse, Han Jue didn't stop for the first time, but played an interlude and started the chorus:

【

I know I'm not the only one

i know i'm not alone

Who regrets the things they've done

I regret what I did in the past

Sometimes I just feel it's only me

But sometimes it is unavoidable to be angry

Who can't stand the reflection that they see

I feel that I can't bear all the hot and expectant eyes alone

I wish I could live a little more

I wish I could live a more positive and innocent life

Look up to the sky, not just the floor

Free to look up at the sky without having to lower your head to avoid someone's eyes

...

】

When Han Jue sang, there was a mistake in the transition of the end of one of the words, and he didn't connect it, but Cohen heard it but didn't stop it.

Ke En just listened to the song quietly and looked at Han Jue.

When Han Jue sang this song, although his emotions were sad and he sang the feeling of "The Past Is Like Smoke", the lyrics did not match the lyrics he sang. There is also a difference between grief and grief.

At that time, Han Jue tried his best to sing the grief of his whole body to everyone. It was so contagious that it made several sensitive listeners red-eyed. But in Cohen's view, Han Jue's emotions were a little too much.

The current Han Jue's emotional scale is very good, and the transition between light and heavy is natural. The end of each sentence of the lyrics is light, but light but like a heavy hammer hitting the listener's heart.

【

...

I feel like my life is flashing by

Grow up and become famous, time flies but also fleeting

And all I can do is watch and cry

Watching all the changes, I have nothing to do but feel sad

I miss the air, I miss my friends

Miss the old air, miss the laughter among close friends

I miss my mother, I miss it when

Miss my mother, miss the past

Life was a party to be thrown

The years to live your life as a carefree party

But that was a million years ago

But it seems like thousands of years ago

A million years ago

those long and unforgettable years

】

Han Jue's progress is really amazing.

Progress in all aspects, and amazing in all aspects.

In the middle of the song [Missing the old air, missing the laughter among close friends], Han Jue didn’t take a breath, and immediately followed the next line [Missing my mother, missing those in the past], the regret and sadness in it rushed to his face , People listened to the heart as if they were suddenly grabbed.

By the time the last line was sung, the mood had completely calmed down. Although Han Jue sang word by word accompanied by the guitar, his tone was very light and calm, as if "It's a cool autumn", which made people feel infinitely melancholy after listening.

The whole song came down in one go.

Not only the emotional expression is appropriate, but also the technique is almost perfect.

Han Jue let out a long breath, as if breaking out of a certain state.

"How?" he asked Cohen.

Cohen by the console shook his head, muttering something.

Han Jue couldn't hear what Ke En was talking about, but only saw Ke En shaking his head. Han Jue was not surprised by this: "Yes, just now [more] made a mistake."

After shaking for a while, Cohen suddenly realized that he forgot to press the call button to speak. Cohen hurriedly pressed the button, shook his head into the microphone, and said in his mouth, "Okay! That's great! It's wonderful! It's wonderful..."

It turned out that shaking his head was just because he felt that Han Jue's singing skills had reached a new level.

"Then let's do it all over again." Han Jue couldn't bear the flaws.

After hearing this, Cohen shook his head even more joyously, and stared at him, "No, no, no, that place is just right."

If Han Jue hadn't known that Cohen was a straightforward person, he would definitely think that Cohen was mocking him at this time.

Although Han Jue still went in and recorded a new version, Cohen bluntly said that the second time did not have the same feeling as the first time, and he would still choose the first version in the end.

After Han Jue tried it twice, Ke En talked about the so-called "incomplete beauty" to the half of the students, "I have regrets, right? But isn't that just the point? 】, Barbara.

Han Jue was finally persuaded to adopt this version after listening to the first version five times with Cohen.

At this time, less than three hours had passed since Han Jue entered the recording studio.

This speed is quite unbelievable for a perfectionist, a little perfectionist and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

It was almost lunch time, and they were not in a hurry to start recording the next song immediately, so they let the sound engineer go to rest first, and the two of them stayed in the recording studio, playing music, and chatting with each other.

"This word is so well written, is it your own feeling?" Ke En suddenly praised Han Jue.

"...Gu An's lyrics are really good." Han Jue blinked his eyes. This was the first time Ke En praised him, but Han Jue didn't lose his sense of restraint and showed his flaws.

"Your song is also good."

"...I will help you convey the compliment to Gu An."

Ke En smiled, listened to the song quietly, and then suddenly cast a cold arrow, saying: "Gu An, you wrote those songs, and your manager sang them, right?"

"?!" Han Jue was startled.

Cohen pointed to his ears, meaning that nothing could be hidden from his ears.

Han Jue quickly laughed, and then patted Cohen on the shoulder: "Are you joking?"

Han Jue slapped Ke En's thin shoulders violently, his words trembled, his expression seemed to be enduring great torture: "I know, I know, stop patting..."

Cohen closed his eyes, listening to "Million Years Ago" quietly, and suddenly felt that the album they were producing might represent the highest level of American music and be compared with the most outstanding Chinese music works.

He has enough confidence in Han Jue.

"By the way, are you okay the day after tomorrow?" Han Jue asked Ke En.

"No, what's the matter?" Cohen wondered.

"Come with me to Huaxia."

"What? Why are you going to Huaxia with you?"

"[Extreme Concert]."

The day after tomorrow is the day when [Extreme Concert] will start. Each participating member has some places to invite people to listen to the concert live. Han Jue invited Gu Fan, Xiao Fan, Song Yin and others.

Ke En is Han Jue's half teacher, so Han Jue naturally wanted to invite him.

"I won't go." Cohen refused directly.

"Why?"

"I made a decision when I returned to China before. As long as my English works don't enter the top 100 in the [Bang Yun Bang], I won't go to Huaxia for a day, so I'm sorry." Cohen untied his ponytail and put the greasy The long golden hair flicked, and a bad smell wafted over immediately.

Han Jue knew Ke En's stubbornness, and couldn't persuade him, so he could only get up regretfully.

It is very difficult for an English song to enter the top 100 of China's [Fun Billboard]. If any American musician's song enters the top 100 of the [Billing], it is a great honor, and even a major event that shakes the American music scene, and it will be reported in a row.

However, in the past ten years, there are only a handful of English courses that can be listed in the top 100 of the [Finance Billboard].

However, as Han Jue, who has several English works in the top 100 or even top 20 of the [Billing List], he doesn't think Cohen's goal is so difficult to achieve.

Listening to his own singing, Han Jue said, "It's a pity, it seems that I can only invite you to my concert next time."

"It's still early for the concert." Cohen closed his eyes and smiled, then said, "I'll give you a homework first."

"What?"

"Go to [Extreme Concert] and bring back a champion."

Han Jue subconsciously wanted to say [I will try my best], [There are still many masters], [Let me try it, but don't hold out too much hope]. However, Han Jue stopped for a while, thought for a while, finally nodded with a smile, and replied:

"good."
