Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1437 - 1411: First Song Recording
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
Seeing Wang Hao’s confident expression, Ye Chen handed the sheet filled with music score and lyrics to Wang Hao.
"Wang Hao, this is your first time recording a song. Get familiar with it first, then we’ll record later," Ye Chen said with a smile.
Wang Hao looked even more amazed after receiving the sheet, glancing at Ye Chen who was close to his age, then at the sheet in his hand.
It was truly unbelievable that this creation came from Ye Chen.
Ye Chen had told him that after a few people left in the morning, he created it in a very short time.
Wang Hao knew that although he hadn’t written music before, he understood from others that creating a song usually takes at least ten days to half a month. It was impossible to do like Ye Chen, creating a new song in just a few hours.
Wang Hao was extremely surprised. He paused for a moment and carefully examined the sheet in his hand.
He had to admit that the song’s lyrics and melody were excellent, making Wang Hao feel fired up.
Wang Hao was even more confident now, believing that if he could sing this song well, it would surely make him famous.
Seeing Wang Hao’s excited expression, Ye Chen laughed and said, "Wang Hao, how do you like the song title ’Simple Love’?"
"Simple Love" gives off a feeling of first love’s innocence and sweetness, pure and without distractions, expressing the sweet emotions of being in love. The style and rhythm are easy to stick to.
This song also perfectly suits Wang Hao’s sunny boy image, almost as if tailor-made for him.
"Hmm, I like it," Wang Hao nodded in agreement.
Actually, when Wang Hao saw the lyrics, he felt the same way, reminiscent of the beautiful scenes during his dating days with Zhang Ying.
Then he continued, "President Ye, I’m ready. We can record now."
"Great, if you’re ready, let’s head to record," Ye Chen said, walking outside.
Wang Hao followed Ye Chen, and the two people arrived at the recording studio.
"Wang Hao, wait a moment, let me adjust the equipment," Ye Chen said with a smile.
"President Ye, let me help you," Wang Hao offered.
He thought it would be inappropriate to stand aside watching the boss work.
Looking at the unfamiliar equipment in front of him, Wang Hao couldn’t help but frown, unsure where to start.
Yet Ye Chen adjusted everything swiftly, leaving Wang Hao embarrassed standing there.
"President Ye, you’re so amazing, knowing everything," Wang Hao praised from the side.
"It’s okay, I just know a little bit," Ye Chen humbly replied.
Then he looked at Wang Hao and said, "Alright, let’s give it a try."
Since it was Wang Hao’s first time in a recording booth, he was inevitably nervous, making several mistakes during recording.
"Sorry, President Ye, I sang it wrong again," Wang Hao said nervously.
"It’s alright, let’s try it again. Wang Hao, don’t be nervous, just relax and pretend you’re singing on the street," Ye Chen comforted with a smile.
Strangely enough, Wang Hao wasn’t nervous when many people were watching him on the street.
But now, with only him and Ye Chen, Wang Hao was extremely nervous.
Ye Chen knew Wang Hao’s singing was fine; the key was his mental state.
As Wang Hao was too nervous, his voice trembled, which wouldn’t make for a good recording.
"Wang Hao, take a break and drink some water to rest your voice," Ye Chen suddenly stopped and said with concern.
Wang Hao also felt quite useless, not even able to record a song properly.
"President Ye, am I useless?" Wang Hao asked dejectedly.
"Not at all, you’re just too nervous, which is completely normal for first-time recording," Ye Chen said with a smile.
After resting for a while, Wang Hao planned to continue recording, but Ye Chen stopped him.
"Wang Hao, let’s have a chat. I want to hear your stories," Ye Chen suggested.
Since Wang Hao had signed with Star Media Company, Ye Chen wanted to know more about him, as the two people had never really chatted.
On hearing Ye Chen’s suggestion, Wang Hao began to talk at length, starting from elementary school, university, dating, job-seeking, his girlfriend’s serious illness, and then meeting Ye Chen.
Ye Chen listened intently, observing Wang Hao’s state; he had relaxed at that moment.
"Wang Hao, let’s try again," Ye Chen said with a smile.
The two people entered the recording booth again, and Wang Hao began to sing holding the sheet. This time it was very successful.
"Well done, Wang Hao," Ye Chen praised.
Even Wang Hao didn’t expect such success this time. He was very happy, knowing that without the chatting session with Ye Chen, he might still be nervous.
"The song is recorded. I’ll take it from here; you’re free to go take care of your girlfriend," Ye Chen said with a smile.
Initially, Wang Hao wanted to stay, but considering he wouldn’t be of help, he decided otherwise.
"Thank you, President Ye. If you need anything, feel free to call me," Wang Hao said gratefully.
He knew that without meeting Ye Chen, his dream of becoming a star wouldn’t have come true.
Though he wasn’t sure how the song would be received, he was very grateful to Ye Chen for letting him experience happiness.
Since he couldn’t assist in any way, staying might hinder Ye Chen’s work.
After thanking Ye Chen, Wang Hao tactfully left.
Once Wang Hao left, Ye Chen took out his phone and called Su Wanyi.
Su Wanyi, busy at the computer, saw Ye Chen’s call and quickly answered, "Honey, are you done over there?"
"Yes, dear, I’m reporting my work progress to you," Ye Chen said teasingly.
"Talk properly, or I’ll hang up," Su Wanyi said, feigning anger.
"Alright, no more jokes. I’ll upload the recorded song later for you to listen to," Ye Chen said seriously.
"Okay," Su Wanyi nodded.
Ye Chen checked his watch and realized he had been working for five or six hours straight, matching her work enthusiasm.
If Su Wanyi knew about the process, she’d surely sympathize with Ye Chen. The song had been recorded no less than five times.
