Volume 1 Chapter 93 Iron Blooded Dan Xin

  Lu Li came to the recording studio and asked directly: "Is the accompaniment ready?"

  "Uh-huh, it's already done, listen and see."

  Thanks to the arrangement data provided by Lu Li, the accompaniment made by Lü Yi was almost indistinguishable from the Iron Blooded Dan Xin on Earth. When the familiar prelude sounded, even without the humming of "ah ah ah", Lu Li felt an unusual sense of intimacy.

  That's right, this is what I wanted to feel, I want to fill this otherworld with classic melodies from Earth.

  "Great! Great! Great!" Lu Li exclaimed after listening to the pure instrumental accompaniment of "Iron Blood and Dan Xin", saying three good words to express his excited mood.

  "I've never seen you so excited, I don't deny that 'Iron Blood and Loyal Heart' is a classic, but it's not worth getting like this." Zhou Chuanjun said with confusion as he saw Lu Li in such a state.

  "This is a kind of sentiment that no one understands." Lu Li seemed to be answering Zhou Chuanjun's question, but also seemed to be muttering to himself.

  Originally, Lu Li was going to record a demo tape, but suddenly remembered that this song needed another female voice to sing along with it. However, the company currently doesn't seem to have any female singers, and all the new recruits are still at Huaxia Music Academy, so he gave up on the idea and directly sent the accompaniment tape and lyrics to Ren Tang Film instead.

  That afternoon, Lu Li received a call from Tang Yongping, a film producer.

  "Lu Li, little brother, I've listened to the song you sent over and was immediately excited. He said that the theme song for 'The Archer' must be this one. Do you think it should be sung by yourself or find another singer?" asked Zhuang Yongping on the phone.

  "The male part is mine to sing, the female part needs you guys to find someone." How could such a classic song be given to others to sing: "Right, need a female singer who speaks Cantonese."

  "Why learn Cantonese?" asked Zhuang Yongping with a questioning tone.

  "It's because this song is a Cantonese song." Lu Li replied.

  "Ah, so it's a Cantonese song? Alright, I and Director Yan thought it was Mandarin. Don't worry about the female singer, we'll notify you of the recording time once everything is arranged." said Zhuang Yongping.

  Lu Li was speechless upon hearing this, and surprisingly didn't even know that this song is in Cantonese. Although the Mandarin version can also be sung, compared to the Cantonese version, it lacks some flavor, and the Cantonese sounds more soulful.

  Ren Tang and Yan Wen Zhong were also anxious about the theme song, so they acted quickly. On the third day, they called to say that they had already contacted a female singer and asked Lu Li to go to Hua Hai to record the song.

  Lu Li didn't have any objections to what was said, and after greeting Lu Qiang and Meng Qi, he headed to Hua Hai. Originally, Lu Qiang had said that since Lu Li was now also considered an artist, he should assign an assistant to follow him around, but Lu Li refused. He didn't need to be equipped with the trappings of a celebrity at present, and besides, Lu Li wasn't fond of having someone following him around; if he got busy later on, it wouldn't be too late to assign an assistant then.

  After arriving at Hua Hai, it was still Zhuang Yongping who received Lu Li, because he was most familiar with Lu Li.

  "Go to the hotel and rest for a night first, then start recording tomorrow. Director Yan can't wait any longer." Lian Zhuang Yongping said as he received Lu Li.

  "Hmm." Lu Li nodded in agreement. Recording a song is not like other things, the state must be better, so even if Yan Wen Zhong was anxious, he had to let Lu Li rest first. And this was also what Lu Li thought in his heart.

  The next day, Lu Li was picked up by Zhuang Yongping early in the morning and taken to the Tang Film Recording Studio for recording.

  When he arrived at the recording studio, Lu Li saw Director Yan chatting with a young woman who looked like she was 24 or 25 years old.

  "Lu Li has arrived, come on over and I'll introduce you. This is Ouyang Dan, a singer from Xiangjiang, she will be singing 'Iron Blood and Gallbladder' with you." Yan Wenzhong repeatedly beckoned to Lu Li as he saw him and Zhuang Yongping hurrying over.

  Lu Li heard the words and quickly walked a few steps to the front of the two, looking at the beautiful woman in white long dress: "Dan sister's song has been with me since middle school, I didn't expect to meet my idol today, it's really an honor."

  Don't look at Ou Yang Dan's current appearance, which is only 24 or 25 years old, but her actual age is already 30 years old. Ou Yang Dan also debuted relatively early, officially debuting at the age of 18, and after her first album became a hit, she has been developing steadily in the music industry for 12 years, ranking third on the yy Music Network's Chinese singer chart, and can be said to be the most deserving heavenly queen in the Chinese music scene.

  Lu Li first learned about this person when he was reborn into this world and saw him on the YY music charts.

  Of course, Lu Li is not a fan of Ouyang Dan's songs, and the idol's words are purely nonsense. But as the saying goes, "flowers are carried by people", especially in the entertainment circle, the phenomenon of mutual flattery is not uncommon. Moreover, saying a few pleasant words doesn't hurt anything, so Lu Li is happy to have a good relationship with these stars, and that's what he said.

  As expected, Ouyang Dan was delighted to hear Lu Li's words and smiled, saying: "I've also heard of you, your writing is great, and you're very popular in Xiangjiang. I like reading what you write too."

  "Really? That's great, I hope this time can cooperate with Dan Jie happily." Lu Li heard and smiled lightly.

  After exchanging greetings with the two, Yan Wenzhong hurriedly said: "Alright, let's start recording the song. The premiere of 'The Shooter' is not far away, and this theme song should be recorded as soon as possible."

  Lu Li and Ouyang Dan nodded in unison and walked towards the recording studio.

  Lu Li entered the recording studio of Tang's film and found that compared to other entertainment companies' studios, it had more professional TV and movie dubbing equipment.

  At this moment, many staff members are already in place in the recording studio, waiting for Lu Li and Ouyang Dan to start recording.

  "Has Sister Dan familiarized herself with the lyrics already? You just need to sing in Cantonese." Lu Li said to Ouyang Dan as he walked into the recording studio.

  "Uh-huh, no problem." Ouyang Dan nodded in response.

  After both of them put on their headphones and got ready, they simultaneously gave an OK hand gesture to the staff in the control room through the vacuum glass.

  Lu Di immediately heard the familiar prelude.

  "Ahhhhhhh."

  Lu Li hummed the familiar "ahhh" sound from the prelude of a classic memory.

  "As if I had seen it in a dream"

  "Inner turmoil is apparent"

  After the prelude, Ouyang Dan sang along with the lyrics.

  Focused on the rhythm, without distractions, when it's my turn to sing, I try to make my voice full of mature feelings, singing: "Let go of worldly affairs and cut off grudges."

  Neither of them had any issues, and the next sentence was their first duet "Together till the end of time".

  Lu Li finished singing "Forget worldly affairs and cut off grudges" without noticing the pause, and directly started singing. As soon as the word "xiang" came out, Lu Li knew she had rushed into it and stopped.

  "Sorry, I bid on it." Lu Li saw Ouyang Dan take off her headphones, and smiled apologetically.

  "It's okay, this is just the first take." Ouyang Dan smiled understandingly upon hearing this. Indeed, recording songs rarely goes smoothly in one take, especially for choruses, where even slight mistakes can cause problems.

  The two were ready again and started recording after making an "OK" gesture to the control room.

  This time it went more smoothly, and there were no problems until the end of the first verse. However, after the second verse started, Ouyang Dan also grabbed a shot again, interrupting once more.

  The chorus of this song is not simple, when the male voice is the main voice, the female voice has to be lower as a harmony. When the female voice is the main voice, the male voice also has to become lower as a harmony.

  It was like this back and forth, letting Lu Li and Ouyang Dan both suffer a lot, until noon still not recorded well.

  "Never mind, let's eat first." Yan Wenzhong and Zhuang Yongping said as they entered the recording studio after another failure.

  "Let's go, let's eat first and continue in the afternoon." Ouyang Dan also said, she hadn't sung with such great effort for a long time. Of course, this wasn't because of Lu Li, as she often had problems during her own recordings too.

  "It's okay, take your time, I just listened to your recording and it sounds great, much better than the Mandarin version that Director Yan had people try out last time. I'm sure it will be a classic once it's recorded." said Zhuang Yongping, putting his arm around Lu Li's shoulder.

  "Let's eat first." Lu Li heard this and smiled, then walked out with several others.

  After eating and resting for a while, I started recording again.

  The situation is still bad, and in the afternoon, it was even worse than this morning's state. The two conditions frequently occurred.

  Of course, after so many failures, they didn't gain nothing, at least their tacit understanding has increased a lot.

  After another failure, they looked at each other and saw a hint of disbelief in each other's eyes.

  Lu Li took a deep breath, put on her headphones again, and started another round of recording.

  "Ahhh...". Lu Li closed his eyes and began humming.

  "As if I had seen it in a dream"

  "Inner turmoil is evident"

  Then Ouyang Dan started singing, very perfect.

  "Having gone through a hundred trials, the gratitude and resentment are hard to cut off in one's heart." When the last chorus was sung without any problems by the two of them, Lu Li opened her eyes and looked at Ouyang Dan, only to find that Ouyang Dan was also looking over at her with joy.

  Lu Li knew he had succeeded, took off his headphones and looked towards the control room. He saw Yan Wenzhong and Zhuang Yongping smiling at him with faces full of joy, while other staff members applauded.

  "It's finally recorded successfully, it wasn't easy." Lu Li walked over to Ouyang Dan and sighed.

  "Yes, it's not easy, but I think this song will be a classic that will be passed down through the ages. I really don't know how you can write such a work?" Ouyang Dan said with a flicker of her eyes, curiously looking at Lu Li.

  Lu Li looked at Ouyang Dan blinking her eyes, feeling overwhelmed, and quickly shifted her gaze. Although Ouyang Dan was much older than herself, she appeared to be in her mid-twenties. Such a beautiful woman making eyes at her made Lu Li feel somewhat awkward.

  "Hmm, 'The Legend of the Condor Hero' is a story in my heart, it's not strange to have this song." Lu Li couldn't say that he was just a porter, so he said.

  Ouyang Dan didn't ask more questions and the two of them walked out of the recording studio.

  "It's extremely perfect, this song is just too fitting as the theme song for 'The Archer'." Director Yan Wenzhong praised. Zhuang Yongping also echoed beside him.

  It's a perfect match, "Tie Xue Dan Xin" is indeed a classic martial arts song that has stood the test of time. Lu Li thought to himself.
