Perfect Life

After the end of the summer heat and the white dew, the dry air gradually fades, and Jinan Prefecture has some refreshing autumn coolness.

When Li Qian was riding a bicycle between school, home, and Laodou Records, he gradually no longer had the situation of riding a bicycle and sweating profusely some time ago, and he could always face the cool autumn wind. some refreshing feeling.

At this time, it took about two weeks for Li Jinlong, who has been traveling back and forth between Shuntian Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture, to finally record the accompaniment of the previous five songs. For their small record-making team, it was time for the first official studio recording.

Li Qian was not a professional in his last life, and he has always entered the music circle as a layman in his life. Therefore, not to mention the market positioning of the combination of Wuxingwusu, he will not be able to sing at all. Even if there are too many requirements, don't expect Li Qian to be able to adjust and guide them in the recording studio.

His recording requirements for Wuxingwusu are very simple: if I listen to the taste is right, then it's ok!

The recording studio is a special place, and it is difficult for those who have never been in it to understand this.

In the recording studio, any slight imperfection, trembling, or instability in your voice will be captured by advanced recording equipment and amplified without limit. Ordinary people think their voice is good enough, go in and record As soon as you come out and listen to it yourself, you will feel that your singing is simply unbearable!

Even if you want to make a record, you will definitely do the post-production, and you will definitely need to use electronic equipment and computers to modify and process the sound in the post-production stage, even for some foreign three-way "singers" whose singing skills are extremely poor. You can also edit through the computer. Let's cut together the good parts of the sound recorded several times. Compose a relatively "perfect" version, but there is no doubt that any post-production method is better than a version directly out of the studio to form an emotional unity.

Therefore, even if only from the perspective of the completion of the whole song, Li Qian also asked Wuxing Wusu to complete the work in the recording studio as much as possible to reduce the dependence on post-processing as much as possible.

Then again, whether the singing skills are good or not is put aside. Stable performance is the first.

But the problem is that there are five people in Wuxingwusu.

Laodou Records has the most advanced and largest professional recording studio in Jinan Prefecture, with a total of four microphone positions. In theory, it can accommodate up to eight people for recording at the same time.

Therefore, there is no technical problem in Wuxingwu's recording at the same time.

But as soon as the recording started, Li Qian's brows furrowed. After that, his brows barely unfolded.

Yes, Wuxingwusu does have a very good singing foundation. Moreover, after they joined Huage Records, they have also undergone quite professional singing and performance training. In fact, they have already released an album, and there is no shortage of experience in the studio. But their biggest problem is that they are not stable enough.

Five people are recording at the same time, and anyone who is a little unstable will immediately drag down the completion of the entire song. In fact, after a song is sung, although they have paid great attention to it, the problem is never alone.

Of course, the biggest problem is Xie Bing.

Among the five girls in Wuxingwusu, Xie Bing's voice is not bad, and her singing skills are also acceptable, but her voice is close to the sweet and waxy way. This kind of voice, when singing alone, especially when there is no accompaniment. A cappella would be very nice. But the problem is that it is precisely because of the sweetness of the sound quality, so even if it is not a big problem for others, it will become a big flaw in her - don't care if you admit it or not, it has been experienced by Li Qian. In that time and space, since the 1960s and 1970s, it has been fifteen years since the new century. Among the few people with the best singing skills in the entire Chinese music circle, the name "Teng Lijun" must be indispensable.

Moreover, Xie Bing seems to be a little afraid of entering the studio?

In short, every time there is a mistake, there must be her!

The song has been practiced very well, and Li Qian's requirements have been told to them in the previous guidance, and they have already understood, so the current studio recording is only a few girls' stability. .

So again, again, again.

From the point of view of protecting their voices, even if each of them does not sing all the time, there are a lot of passages that can be rested, but each time they record, they will only take two hours at most, and then they will take a rest for an hour.

So, the whole day is recorded, which adds up to six to eight hours.

Not even a single "Happy Baby" with the simplest requirements was completed.

By the end of the day's recording, the five girls were a little apprehensive. Even Wang Jingxue, who had the most stable voice and the best singing skills, had been wrong many times, not to mention Xie Bing, who was the most error-prone.

Every time there was a break in the middle of the recording, the five girls rushed out of the recording studio and apologized one after another. By the end of the day's recording, they could all notice that the smile on Li Qian, the producer, was almost gone, and his brows were deep. Wrinkled, the apology became more sincere.

Although Li Jinlong said when we ate a boxed lunch together, in fact, for the currently recorded versions, post-production is enough, but Li Qian is still not satisfied.

Well, Li Qian knows that Wuxing Wusu is not Liao Liao.

In terms of their style and market positioning, even now that Li Qian has joined in and is already changing their image and positioning, as soon as their works come out, there are still very few people who will go there carefully and leisurely. Appreciate it, because they originally followed the line of youth idols, not a powerful faction like Liao Liao, so even if it is a later synthetic version, it is actually nothing. However, that is only for certain songs, there is a song... As long as that song comes out, Li Qian believes that there will be people who will use a magnifying glass to pick out their shortcomings in singing and singing skills.

Therefore, the previous picky is actually serving that song.

If it doesn't work on the first day, it's on the second day. If it doesn't work on the second day, starting from Monday, I will record for two hours every night.

Just recording and recording like this, Li Qian tortured the five girls and himself. Finally, after being forced to change three songs in a row and recording for a full week, they finally completed the first song. A recording of a work.

And then, perhaps because of the affirmation and encouragement of this success, their recording gradually became a lot smoother. In the following week, after completing two more works, finally, their recording in the studio became smoother. The performance began to become more and more stable and mature, so the speed of completing the recording also accelerated. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, they finally completed the third part of the album in the studio. one of the progress.

In addition to the previous song "Rush! rush! rush! ", so far they have completed a total of six songs on this album, and the next three songs are "Love Me!" written by Cao Zhan! "It shouldn't be too difficult, they have already practiced very well, "Love Birds" is relatively difficult, "Night in the Suburbs of Moscow" is slightly better, so... If the current state can be maintained, Li Qian is confident that after the holiday Take a week to complete the other third of the recording.

And the remaining one-third of the progress, obviously, is the last major work.

That piece, which has been sung for a hundred years, is regarded as the pioneering work of combining Chinese and Western music, and is also a model of Dacheng. Even after a hundred years, it is still considered to be one of the best Chinese music works in the entire 20th century——

"farewell"!

…………

Xie Bing finally got on the back seat of Li Qian's bicycle.

But in fact, she was quite restless. Because she didn't know if Li Qian wanted to teach her any experience alone, or... In order to avoid being too embarrassed, she had to take herself out and train her alone?

In fact, she knows very well that even now, her performance in the studio has always been the worst one - at least half of the times, it was because of her own mistakes that ruined a recording .

In my imagination, sitting in the back seat of Li Qian, hugging her waist, and letting him take him through the alleys of Jinan Mansion, should be a very sweet and very happy thing, but now, obviously, All she had was nervousness and anxiety.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, after discussing it with Li Qian, the producer Li Jinlong gave them a short and long vacation—five days! So, just before the festival, everyone went home one after another.

It's not easy to be in other industries, and it's even more difficult to be their singers--ordinary staff, as well as this and that fake one can rest for a few days, or go back to their hometown to visit their parents, but they are in the entertainment industry~www. wuxiaspot.com~ But there is very little to say about holidays.

In the past, every national holiday such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, New Year's Day, and Spring Festival was often the busiest time for them - the company would not let them idle there for holidays, and would always contact them. Appropriate commercial performances, and then send them out to earn more or less performance fees.

This year, it was mainly because the album was being produced. For some reason, the company gave them to Li Jinlong to bring them to Jinan, but they did not arrange any commercial performances for two consecutive months.

And now, after finally getting a vacation, they all went home. Xie Bing also wanted to go home to see her parents who hadn't seen her for almost a year, but after thinking about it, she still only made one phone call. I went back to report safety, and then I stayed in Jinan House. In the house rented by the company for a few girls, I kept practicing against the wall and kept practicing...

Then, Li Qian's phone suddenly called.

Then, she simply changed her clothes and got on Li Qian's bicycle downstairs, but she didn't even dare to ask where she was going or what she was going to do. (To be continued..)
