Perfect Life

It should be said that fame is really a good thing.

Because of the fame, even the arrogant Wang Jingxue took the initiative to seek Li Qian, hoping to get his works. Because of the fame, Li Qian said that he was willing to write songs for Wuxingwusu and produce a new album, Huage Records that Bian immediately agreed with Li Baolong to lead the team directly south, also because of his fame. Although Li Qiancai was only a 17-year-old boy, since he came into contact with Huage Records, whether it was with producer Li Baolong or Wuxingwusu. The cooperation between her girls is smooth and pleasant - it's all just five songs.

However, it is not a simple matter to convert fame into more benefits in reality, and to continue to exchange for greater fame, or even to convert these fame into a solid status in the arena. In this regard, Li Qian, who had been rooted in the entertainment industry for more than ten years before, had a clear understanding and sufficient psychological preparation.

People walk in the rivers and lakes, they need to eat, drink, clothe and live, and in the future they will have to raise women and children. How can anyone not want to make money? People are mixed in the circle, looking up and bowing their heads are all peers, who doesn't want to be respected by three points?

With Li Qian's current situation and his own personality, he definitely won't think about becoming a tycoon or a tycoon for the time being. The status must also be obtained—no matter whether it is ideals, dreams, or hobbies, it can be said that art, money and fame are not opposed to each other, but only complement each other.

And now, with Liao Liao's five songs that directly hit the on-demand chart, Li Qian needs it. It is the so-called status of the so-called rivers and lakes in the first stage of establishing himself - the master of lyrics and music, and the gold medal producer!

Five Elements Wusu combination. It's his first shot!

so. Not to be missed.

…………

Sunday, September 5th, afternoon.

Jinan Fu Laodou Records, a1 studio.

Before half past one, Li Qian came here on time. When he pushed the door in, he included the musicians and recording engineers invited by Laodou Records, including Wuxing Wusu's sisters. Even their manager Sister Wu, producer Li Baolong, and the owner of Laodou Records, Fu Zhenbang, were all present, and even the recording engineer who came from Shuntian Prefecture had arranged the positions for the musicians and instruments.

The appointment time is two o'clock. Of course, Li Qian can't be considered late. It can only be said that these people in the room are paying too much attention.

Entering the door, Li Qian, as always, greeted the people he knew and didn't know with a smile on his face and folded his hands. No matter which circle he lives in, it's definitely good for young people to be polite, and it's not surprising that many people are polite.

Seeing that the main master came, everyone also greeted each other one after another. Fu Zhenbang even brought Li Qian over one by one to introduce the musicians invited today.

Arrangement for the two songs "Sister and Sister Stand Up" and "Let's Swing the Sculls". It's all arranged by Li Qian. The former's arranger emphasizes a lively rhythm with a naughty taste. It is a very youthful arranger. It is probably 70-80% similar to the original arrangement in his mind in the previous life. The latter arrangement is mainly to highlight the feeling of chorus of the sounds of nature. Even according to Li Qian's arrangement, the whole song is all chorus, and there are no solo sentences, so the arrangement is relatively light. In addition to rhythm, mainly piano and guitar.

It can be said that although this is almost the final version of the arrangement, it is relatively simple, and the instruments required are only as few.

Among them, what Li Qian cares most about is Bass.

In the previous life, when he listened to "Sister and Sister Stand Up", he was deeply impressed by the bass at the beginning of the arrangement of this song, so when it was his turn to make the arrangement, he kept it without hesitation. .

However, in his heart, he required that this bass player must be extremely talented. For this reason, he specially greeted Li Jinlong and Fu Zhenbang a few days ago and asked them to find a bass player with a higher level.

For no other reason, bass is inherently cool!

And what Li Qian wants is a cool word!

Of course, people who are engaged in music know that a band must have at least one bassist, one drummer, one guitar and one vocalist. This is the basic configuration. However, now that the rock fever has been declining for several years, the guitar is easy to learn and fun because of its ease of learning and fun. So it has a huge market, but bass is relatively unfamiliar. At least for those who don't pay much attention to music and instruments, they can't figure out what bass is, and they don't even know which sound is in a song. It's Beth's. And such people will definitely account for the majority of fans who will like the song "Sister and Sister Stand Up"!

So, start with a terrific bass, and all of a sudden it'll make them think it's a cool song! Then quickly cut into the bright and jumpy rhythm, and add the catchy lyrics... This is the way to catch people directly!

And in fact, when he was arranging, he thought back to the original arrangement, and considering the overall style and rhythm of the song, Li Qian also had to admit that adding bass to the prelude of this song was a good match for itself. It fits!

Therefore, based on this consideration, when Fu Zhenbang introduced the bass player, Li Qian patted his arm and said with a smile, "Brother Dabing, wait a moment. Get up!"

The other party's name is Dabing, who is said to be the No. 1 bass player in the Jinan prefecture's music circle. He looks like a very good and confident person, with long hair and sunglasses. The toothpick, when I heard Li Qian's words, also seemed to be ignorant.

But Li Qian didn't care.

He has seen a lot of people who are engaged in music, especially rock and roll.

As long as you live well later, then hello, hello, hello, everyone - anyway, the whole song only needs his two bass lines in the intro and end, and it's enough to just get up.

When Li Qian got to know everyone, Li Jinlong said, "Since everyone arrived early, then... start early? Record "Sister and Sister Stand Up" first?"

Li Qian had no problem, nodded, and said, "Then start early. Teachers have worked hard! Everyone got the scores for two songs yesterday. They must have already read it. Let's start with "Sister and Sister Stand Up", let's find out the feeling first, and run it in."

Then, he first smiled and looked at the bassist Da Bing, and then made a special point, "Brother Da Bing, your part must be done. Make people fall in love with this sound and this instrument as soon as they hear it! "

Da Bing tilted his head, nodded casually, and reluctantly said, "Dude!"

That means, you don't have to teach it!

Li Qian just smiled and didn't say anything. He just turned his head and told the Wuxing Wusu sisters to come over. He asked them not to sing first, but to follow the rhythm to find the feeling in a low voice. They go in again.

A few of the sisters nodded to show their understanding, and Li Qian clapped their hands. "Everyone has worked hard, now let's go again! Ok, everyone, "Sister and Sister Stand Up", prepare...!"

A deep bass sounded in response, which instantly shocked everyone in the recording room to narrow their eyes subconsciously.

Anyone who has listened to the scene knows that when the bass's voice came out, it was really loud and shocking.

But... Li Qian frowned.

He played very well, but he dragged a few notes!

But this was only the first rehearsal, Li Qian just kept it in mind, and then he paid attention to listening to the musicians behind.

The first time I lined up, I must have stumbled. Either the drum was connected too early, or the keyboard was a little hesitant. Although the difference was very small, even ordinary people could hear a little unnatural with a little attention.

But it doesn't matter, at least Li Qian confirmed that the strength of the group of musicians found by Laodou Records is above the standard, at least it's perfectly fine to record a demo.

So when the song ended with bass, Li Qian smiled and said, "It's great. Everyone is great!"

Then, he started from the keyboard, and pointed out some of the problems that he heard other than the running-in, until the end, when he came to the bass, "Brother Bing, your bass is really enough, but in the end, that Two tones, or don't drag, ok?"

Hearing this, Da Bing frowned, flipped the toothpick twice as usual, and said, "What do you want! Why not?"

Li Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "Isn't it possible without delaying the sound?"

Da Bing spread out his hands.

To be honest, although Li Qian has grown up, he is only seventeen years old after all. No matter how he shaves, his face is still too tender. Although the group of musicians invited by Laodou Records are not big names, they are very talented. The top one is experienced and well-informed, and he is a well-known figure in the local music circle. When Li Qian arranges it, he naturally seems a little uneasy.

Fortunately, he was already mentally prepared for this, so in the face of Da Bing's attitude, he still just smiled and said, "I'm looking for a feeling, I believe you're fine, but Boss Fu told me. , you are the number one bass player in Jinan!"

Fu Zhenbang has been in this circle for many years, and he is a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing. At this time, because he was just rehearsing, he did not rush to leave. Naturally, he opened his mouth and said: "Of course, this is not just blowing, just big ice, not to mention Jinan. The mansion, in the whole province, is also the first bass! Dabing, follow Teacher Li's request!"

Da Bing nodded reluctantly.

So, even if the mediation is over, the second rehearsal begins.

This time the bass really didn't drag, but the result was as Da Bing said, the cool feeling, the feeling, disappeared all at once - of course it's no problem to follow the steps, this time he definitely didn't go out of the box, but But there was absolutely no smell that Li Qian wanted.

Li Qian couldn't help frowning again.

Of course, after the second rehearsal, the band immediately seemed much smoother than the first.

Only this bass.

It's all over the place, and as soon as it doesn't shine, in Li Qian's heart, the entire arrangement of this song immediately drops half a notch!

So when the rehearsal was over, he couldn't help walking over to Da Bing and whispered, "Brother Da Bing, what do you say? You can't play tricks without delaying the sound? Brother, come up with some of your unique tricks! "

With a puff, Da Bing spat out the toothpick.

"Trick? I'll give you the trick you want, you won't let the sound be delayed!"

Li Qian was speechless.

Yes, he also played in a band, and he also knew that bass players tend to like drag and slide, because the bass is an instrument. It usually looks very handsome there. But obviously. A top bass player. Definitely not just swaying arbitrarily, he must be able to dance in the grid given by the score.

And this big ice, if put in a rock band, especially in the scene, he should be an excellent bass, but in a more disciplined recording studio, he is obviously not up to the standard.

At least in Li Qian's requirements, he did not meet the standard.

especially. At this time, he looked at it again with consideration. He felt that this big ice didn't seem to like him very much from the beginning?

This is evil!

Li Qian nodded lightly and gradually put away the smile on his face.

"Ok, let's go again, everyone, please cheer up, we're going to record two songs today! After recording, I'll treat you tonight! Okay, everyone, get ready... go!"

Bass sounded. A little wild, a little grumpy.

He's really not a bad bass player.

When this time was over, Li Qian took a deep breath. Turning their heads towards Fu Zhenbang and Li Jinlong, who had been listening in the next corner—no way, everyone is mature musicians, and they got the score in advance so they could practice in advance, so after a little practice together, they soon found their feelings. Only Li Qian's most important bass player, but he couldn't achieve the effect he wanted.

Or maybe, the other party is deliberately unwilling to give it?

Li Qian doesn't quite believe this inference. Laodou Records came forward to hire Huage Records, and all the money was real money. Who wants to live with money? Or, did he think he didn't dare to change?

Walking in front of Fu Zhenbang, Li Qian whispered: "That big ice brother... I think my request is quite clear, but it seems that if he doesn't procrastinate, he won't get the effect I want. I think, is it right? Can you ask Boss Fu to help you communicate?"

Fu Zhenbang has been there since the beginning, and he is an old river and lake again. How can he not understand it now?

He nodded when he heard the words, comforted Li Qian and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me!" Then he walked towards Da Bing.

Here Li Qian nodded and smiled at Li Jinlong, then walked back.

They all know that Fu Zhenbang is a local veteran, and Laodou Records should have a certain amount of energy in the music circle of Jinan Prefecture, so they are not afraid that he will not be able to balance a bass player.

What's surprising is that before Li Qian took two steps, Da Bing had already said loudly: "If you think your buddy's level is not enough, you should replace it as soon as possible! What **** gold medal author, don't you just make a few songs? Just That level, still light rock? Can that be called rock? The running buddy is here to put on the air of the uncle?"

Gotta... this goal is too obvious!

Fu Zhenbang's face was pulled down at that time, "Dabing, our brothers have been together for a year or two, let me tell you, leave a door on your mouth, otherwise don't blame my brother for not holding you!"

Then, he pointed at Li Qian, "Go and apologize to Mr. Li now, don't think that Mr. Li is young and you... I tell you Da Bing, even if he is much younger than you, now you invite him As an accompaniment, don't be too shy!"

Da Bing grinned and walked out of the recording station at that time, and said nonchalantly: "Apologies? Cut! I'm putting my words here, buddy, don't you think my bass is not good enough? Okay, but it's all in Jinan. If you can find someone who says Beth is better than me, I'll leave immediately!"

After he finished speaking, he also glanced at Fu Zhenbang, completely ignoring that Fu Zhenbang's face was turning black, but said confidently: "It's not my brother who blows it for you, the whole Jinan Prefecture, I, Dabing, stand here and say it's mine. Work, no one dares to slap it!"

Li Qian nodded slowly.

This is even a hit!

For recording, whether it’s looking for a musician, a recording engineer, or renting a recording studio, everyone is rushing for money. It’s serious to get the money after finishing the work. Li Qian didn’t expect to record. What kind of tricks can a demo record.

But I didn't think so, and it didn't go well after I paid for it.

To be honest, at this time, even he himself is not sure whether it is because the big ice really has a lot of opinions about himself and his works before they meet, or just because he is just a big boy and has always been very polite. You're polite, so you don't take yourself seriously, and if you're a little bit angry, you're going to kick the game.

But... there's nothing to be afraid of.

He nodded at Da Bing, "Okay, well said!"

When he was done, he turned around and took out his phone.

Before he could dial the number, several girls who had been standing behind him had already come over, Xie Bing whispered: "Li Qian, if it doesn't matter, it's just a sample anyway, wait for the official recording, there are some good basses in Shuntian Mansion. Hands, our company has signed a lot of them! Don't worry about it, just finished recording and finished it, okay?"

The other girls also nodded when they heard the words.

At this time, Li Jinlong also walked over quickly. Although his face was not good-looking, he still pressed his anger to persuade Li Qian, saying: "You calm down, if you can record, we will continue to record, if not, I will call from Shuntianfu called someone, how about it?"

Li Qian shook his head, "No."

He understands that this is probably the power of the so-called ground tiger?

Since that Dabing dared to shout out such a big tone, I am afraid that even if Fu Zhenbang is willing to help come forward to find another, I am afraid it will be difficult. As for another invitation from Shuntianfu... a joke, Huage Records is an outsider, and he, Li Qian, is a local!

It would be fine if he really didn't know anyone at all, but who made him meet someone not long ago!

Besides~www.wuxiaspot.com~ everyone in this room is watching. If Li Qian can't settle this matter smoothly, there are so many local musicians in Jinan Prefecture in the room. What reputation?

So, the call is connected.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"Brother Cao, how many years have you not touched the bass?"

"Seven or eight years? Why?"

"I'm making a song for someone here. If you don't have a bass, I'm afraid you can't even find the sound."

"when?"

"Now."

"where?"

"Old Dou Records, you know?"

"Wait. Twenty minutes." (To be continued...)
