Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

The recording engineer hired by Fu Decai is called Luo Wenhua, 33 years old. He is not very tall, but he is very humorous and has a mustache on his chin. He has a very masculine look. He used to work at Feishi Records, but later he had a conflict with his supervisor.

I resigned directly and worked as a recording engineer for some small bands. I was discovered by Fu Decai some time ago and hired me here.

"The recording studio is good and the songs are good, but what about the band?" Luo Wenhua walked around the recording studio, tried out the equipment and nodded with satisfaction.

"Band?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Songs must have a soundtrack, right? Do you want to record without the soundtrack?" Luo Wenhua looked at Yang Dongxu strangely.

"Uh..." Yang Dongxu and Fu Decai were both a little dumbfounded for a moment.

Yes, a song must have a soundtrack. How can it be recorded without a soundtrack? Is it possible to record an a cappella song to hit the charts?

"Go to the Art Institute and look for it, you should be able to find it." Yang Dongxu said while touching his nose awkwardly.

It was his first time to record a song. He was just looking at the recording equipment, the sheet music, and the singers, but he ended up forgetting about the band. Mainly because later generations had ready-made accompaniments when they sang, so he really had no idea about the band.

However, there are many people playing music in Yanjing now, especially students in some universities. These people are basically at the forefront of the times and are full of curiosity about new things outside.

So when some people carrying big tape recorders and wearing sunglasses appeared on the streets dancing, some people had already started to form a band.

However, these people are not well-known, so it is difficult to find them for a while. However, there must be a lot of small bands like fashionable college students, especially those in art colleges. They need professional knowledge, ability, and the ability to choose.

"There is no shortage of musical instruments, right?" Yang Dongxu turned to Fudecai and asked.

"There should be no shortage of this. I bought everything I saw when I was buying recording equipment, including a drum set, an electric guitar, a saxophone, and even a piano," Fudecai said.

Yang Dongxu glanced at the instruments in the recording studio and nodded.

Although there is no band, the songs are still recorded. First record the songs, then find the band and then record the soundtrack and add it in. This recording method is very popular now.

The main reason is that if the singer and the band record together, the error tolerance is too low. If the beat can't be matched even if they don't match, the whole thing will have to be re-recorded. Also, there will be too much noise when recording together.

Even a lyric sometimes needs to be recorded several times. You can't let the band play this piece of music over and over again, even a dozen times, right?

So when the singer was recording, the line didn't work until the line ended, and the band re-recorded it wherever they made mistakes. There was no problem with both sides, the rhythm was accurate, and then it was perfect together.

Yang Dongxu first called the School of Art and asked a teacher to help him stay. In order to learn more things in the past few years, he has been hanging out at the Chinese Theater Company. Many teachers are familiar with it, so it is not easy to find a band.

difficulty.

Zhang Wen and Wu Qi were asked to sing each other again. Although Zhang Wen made progress, he could not meet Yang Dongxu's requirements. On the contrary, Wu Qi made people feel like they were reborn, and obviously had good comprehension ability. So Zhang Wen was asked to go to the next room to sing again.

Do your own research and record Wu Qi’s first.

Recording is a very boring thing, no matter how beautiful a song is. When these lyrics are taken out and recorded sentence by sentence, or even word by word, there is not much beauty at all.

I only recorded Wu Qi’s songs in one morning, and only half of them were recorded.

The group had to go to eat and rest first. At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Qi's voice needed a good rest, so Yang Dongxu asked her to think about the unfinished songs, and Zhang Wen started recording.

While Wu Qi could still pass a sentence from time to time, Zhang Wen's recording lasted for two hours and ended up not finishing a sentence.

"Don't bring too much resentment. This song is not about resentment and jealousy. It is about the love between two people who are in love but not mutually agreeable. The girl had a relationship before and she gave a lot, but got nothing.

return.

The man she meets now is very infatuated with her, but she feels like a big brother to this man. It’s just that this man is willing to give everything to get back the girl’s heart for love. There is infatuation and care in the song

..."

In the recording studio, Yang Dongxu was dancing and gesticulating, trying to express what he felt in his heart and what this song wanted to express so that Zhang Wen could understand.

In the past, when Yang Dongxu listened to songs, he only thought they sounded good, and he was always vague about the meaning expressed in the songs. But after several years of study, even if he accurately grasped every point in the songs, he could still interpret 80% of the emotions.

.

"Now I believe he is Xiaoxu." Seeing Yang Dongxu anxiously describing to Zhang Wen, Luo Wenhua touched Fu Decai next to him and said.

"It feels a bit like a music producer." Fu Decai smiled. The more professional and talented Yang Dongxu is, the more promising Heina Records will be, and the happier he will naturally be.

"Take a break for ten minutes. You can think about it again. We will record again later." Seeing Zhang Wen's crying face, Yang Dongxu waved his hand and announced that he would take a break.

When he came outside the recording studio and took a drink of water, Yang Dongxu's frown never relaxed.

"After all, Zhang Wen has just debuted. Take your time. Are your requirements too high?" If Fu Decai is just an outsider, Luo Wenhua is an absolute expert, so Yang Dongxu's requirements are a bit high.

"I know my requirements may be a bit harsh sometimes, but good songs are hard to come by. If you can't sing the feeling of the song completely, it's better not to sing it. This is the first time for Hainer Records

With the two songs released, I should at least let our peers see our level, right?" Yang Dongxu sighed.

I also feel that my requirements for Zhang Wen are a bit high. After all, he is a newcomer who has just debuted, not Azhe, who has great talent and voice and will become famous in the future.

But if the song "Love Like Tide" doesn't sing out that flavor, this famous song will be ruined. It's not that this song won't be popular according to Zhang Wen's level, but in the eyes of an expert, it will be popular at a glance.

Seeing the depth of Heiner's records, he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his peers.

At the same time, Azhena was his idol. Although he had never been a fanatic fan before his rebirth, he had never even attended his concerts, and he had not even bought a few genuine tapes and CDs, but he was still his idol.

The song was so perfunctory that Yang Dongxu couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

Recording will continue after ten minutes.

Just after singing two lines, Yang Dongxu rushed into the recording studio and asked Zhang Wen to stop.

Zhang Wen's face didn't look good at this time. After all, no matter who it was, he had been going back and forth for two hours without saying a word. He was also angry. But after it was confirmed that Yang Dongxu was Xiaoxu, he didn't dare to express his anger.

What's more, the person in front of me is still my boss.

"Come out for a moment." Yang Dongxu sighed helplessly and asked Zhang Wen to come out of the recording studio.

When he came to the lounge outside, Yang Dongxu, who was frowning, reached out and took a guitar from the side and said: "I will sing it to you again, and you can find out the feeling again, but my voice is not suitable to express this song. After all, I still

It has a childlike voice, but the general emotion should be similar, please listen."

Hearing that Yang Dongxu was about to sing, Luo Wenhua and others gathered around him, and even Wu Qi, who was familiar with the song not far away, also came over.

After holding the guitar and trying out the notes, Yang Dongxu started playing, "I don't care why you shed tears..."

When Yang Dongxu sang the first line, his voice was a little tight and out of tune, so he stopped for a moment, cleared his throat, and then started again.

"Don't ask why you shed tears

I don't care who else is in your heart

please let me give you comfort

No matter whether the ending is happy or sad

Traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers

............."

Yang Dongxu closed his eyes while singing. His voice was obviously different from Zhang Xinzhe's. The 13-year-old still had a childish voice in his voice.

But when Yang Dongxu spoke for the second time, Luo Wenhua's eyes suddenly lit up. Wu Qi's face showed an incredible look, and Zhang Wen's anger at the beginning turned into a trace of shame.

Not to mention him, even a layman like Fu Decai could tell that Yang Dongxu's appearance was much better than Zhang Wen's singing, and the two were not on the same level at all.

After the song ended, the lounge fell silent.

"Ahem... um... why don't you sing this song?" Luo Wenhua said suddenly, everyone was stunned.

Zhang Wen opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he still didn't say it. Although Luo Wenhua's words not only shocked him, but also may make him lose the chance to become famous, but compared with Yang Dongxu's singing, Yang Dongxu is indeed more like

He is a singer, but he is just a fledgling who only knows how to grasp the key.

"I'm not interested in singing. Or I'm not interested in being a singer." Yang Dongxu shook his head. He thought about whether he should take the acting route in the future, but then he thought about it and felt that this route was not suitable for him.

He is the kind of character who likes to quietly show off, just like a passerby who doesn't show up at all. But if he encounters someone who blows up in front of him, he will show off any identity and make the other person tuck their head into their crotch in shame.

That feeling.

"Let's get here first today. I'll go to the China Theater to try to get the band's affairs settled. Zhang Wen will try to understand the taste of this song. After the band arrives, if it still doesn't work, he will record the soundtrack first, and then

You can listen to the soundtrack and see if it feels better." After taking a look at Zhang Wen's expression, Yang Dongxu knew that it would be in vain to continue recording, so he stood up.

"Boss, I will definitely practice singing well." Zhang Wen was a little ashamed.

If he was still a little arrogant as a Hong Kong singer before, then as soon as Yang Dongxu played and sang, he was instantly knocked into the pit. A professional singer was not as good as a little kid. What did he have to be proud of?

?

"This song may be really difficult, but it's easy to get results if you overcome the difficulties, isn't it? I dare not say anything else. As long as you can sing this song well, even if you can't sing any good songs in the future, it will be enough for you for a lifetime.

." Yang Dongxu patted Zhang Wen on the shoulder.

At this moment, everyone felt a little dazed. It seemed that Yang Dongxu was an adult and Zhang Wen, who was being comforted, was a child.

After leaving the recording studio, Fudecai drove Yang Dongxu and sat in the passenger seat. Because he had no driver's license and no intention of hiring a driver, Fudecai temporarily acted as the driver.
