Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Can he… do it?
“Hello, is this Miss Ice Princess,” Zhang Baohuang’s tone was depressingly respectful, “Hello, hello, having Miss Ice Princess call me is really quite an honor. May I know what brings you to call?”
On the other end of the line, Bai Yaning’s voice was cool and clear, “Has the solicitation for the theme song of ‘Heavenly Female Soldiers’ concluded?”
“The theme song?” As soon as Zhang Baohuang heard this, he became excited, “Not yet, not yet! I’m so frazzled with choosing a song, my hair is practically turning white from stress! Does Miss Ice Princess possibly have a good composition? My goodness, if you did, why would I ever be so worried?!”
Zhang Baohuang was filled with anticipation!
If this TV series could have a theme song from Miss Ice Princess, the viewership ratings would definitely climb a notch!
You see, a single concert from Miss Ice Princess would have at least fifty thousand people on the scene, and the live broadcast online could even break through five million concurrent viewers! If she were to make a theme song…
Zhang Baohuang was eagerly hoping, but he didn’t expect Bai Yaning’s next sentence to deflate him again…
“It’s not that I have a composition,” Bai Yaning spoke indifferently, “It’s that I know someone who is quite capable. He’s done some songs, and I want to bring him to you, Director Zhang, to see what you think.”
“Ah?” Zhang Baohuang was almost startled into shouting, “Which famous composer might that be?”
“His name is Wang Hao, not very famous,” Bai Yaning’s voice was very calm, but unmistakably certain, “I’ll be at Dream Recording Studio in fifteen minutes, and I hope Director Zhang can come too.”
“Uh… alright,” Zhang Baohuang broke into a sweat in an instant.
After hanging up, he let out a long sigh.
Although he was known as one of the country’s top-tier directors, Ice Princess Bai Yaning was definitely not someone he could afford to offend.
Without exaggeration, there probably isn’t anyone in Heavenly People’s Republic who dares to disregard Bai Yaning!
But the problem was, this time Miss Ice Princess wasn’t taking the field herself, but had found a nobody to come over… Could it work?
This Wang Hao, he had never heard of him!
“Sigh, my hair is almost turning white from worry, and now Miss Ice Princess comes to amuse herself with me…” Zhang Baohuang shook his head reluctantly, “Could a song made by a newcomer without any fame be worth listening to? I’ve got hundreds of these compositions! Forget it, let’s see first…”
Dream Recording Studio.
As one of the top three professional-level recording studios in Zhonghai City, Dream Studio used industry-leading equipment to create sound, such as U87 NEUMANN Neumann microphones, M040 AX-5 GENELEC Genelec monitors, 828mk3MUTO sound cards, and so on, the equipment alone was worth several million yuan.
And that’s not all. Dream Music’s six recording studios were constructed and decorated strictly according to acoustic principles, with five-layer sandwich soundproof walls, wave-shaped sound-disturbing reflective wall surfaces, vacuum soundproof noise-reducing transparent windows, thick shock-absorbing carpeted floors, along with meticulously chosen advanced recording equipment, which could give a purity to your voice like never before.
Here, they also offered various services, such as ordinary and advanced singing technique guidance and three levels of post-production mixing services, so you could record professional-level perfect sound without a single worry.
Because of these reasons, this place was not only an ideal spot for amateur singers to record their original songs, but many stars in the industry liked to record their new albums here as well.
“Director Zhang, this Wang Hao, can he really do it? I’ve never heard this name before!” Gong Pengze, as the music director for “Heavenly Female Soldiers,” was specifically responsible for the production and sorting of music in the series.
His daily task involved listening to all sorts of songs, old and new, in the hope of sparking inspiration for music that would match the content of the TV series.
Since Gong Pengze was in the industry, he was naturally a fan of Ice Princess Bai Yaning.
As a music director, he knew every well-known figure in the industry, but in his memory, there was no trace of anyone named Wang Hao.
He had a pretty good grasp of the newcomers, and there was no one called Wang Hao amongst them; this appeared to be a completely fresh and green Little Bai, but was that possible?
“I’m also pondering over this,” Zhang Baohuang sighed, “But since Miss Ice Princess has asked me to come, I must give that respect, right?”
“A newcomer can gain Miss Ice Princess’s favor and she personally arranges to meet with us?” Gong Pengze shook his head, “Probably some connection through personal relationships, but why ponder over this? We’ll listen and see in a moment.”
“Yeah,” Zhang Baohuang thought, and then suddenly asked, “Hey, Old Gong, what do you think, how old might this person recommended by Miss Ice Princess be?”
Gong Pengze pondered for a moment, “At least over forty. How could a youngster take on such a tune?”
Zhang Baohuang nodded, “That’s right, without the life experience, the song surely wouldn’t come out well. But I’m really curious, this person has gotten Miss Ice Princess’s approval, how come I’ve never heard of him before?”
Gong Pengze laughed, “Who knows? Anyway, when they arrive we’ll find out, right?”
Time passed quickly, and about three minutes later, Bai Yaning drove up in her white Panamera.
“Miss Ice Princess, you’ve arrived.” As soon as Bai Yaning got out of the car, Zhang Baohuang hurried over with Gong Pengze to greet her, “It’s truly an honor to meet Miss Ice Princess. About the musician you spoke of…”
He had just started speaking when he saw a young man step out of the car.
He looked to be just over his twenties, with long, layered hair, skin touched with a healthy tan, and smiling eyes that were quite pleasant to look at. He was about one seventy-five meters tall, brimming with the vitality and optimism of youth.
In a different situation, Zhang Baohuang wouldn’t even mind inviting him to play a minor role, but the issue now was not about auditioning for a part in front of the camera but about creating a theme song…
So, Zhang Baohuang was stunned!
“This… this is Wang Hao?” Zhang Baohuang’s eyes widened as he circled around Wang Hao three times, then said in surprise, “He’s not even thirty, right? Miss Ice Princess, can he really do this?”
