The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

The sound engineer hired by Fudecai is Luo Wenhua, 33 years old. He is not very tall, but he is very humorous. He has a mustache on his chin, which is very masculine. I used to work at Flying Rock Records, but later resigned directly because of conflicts with the supervisor, and worked as a sound engineer for some small bands, and was discovered by Fude some time ago.

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

"Band?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help being stunned.

"Songs must have a soundtrack, don't you want to record the soundtrack?" Luo Wenhua looked at Yang Dongxu strangely.

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

Yes, the 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 look for it at the Academy of Art, you should be able to find it." Yang Dongxu rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said.

It was his first time recording a song. He was busy with the recording equipment, the sheet music and the singer, but he forgot about the band. The main reason is that later generations have ready-made accompaniments when they sing, and he really has no idea about the band.

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

So when some dancers with big tape recorders and sunglasses appear in the streets and alleys, someone has 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 trendy college students, especially in the art college. They need professional knowledge, professional knowledge, ability and ability, and they can choose.

"Is there no shortage of musical instruments?" Yang Dongxu turned to Fu Decai and asked.

"There should be no shortage of this. I bought everything I saw when I bought recording equipment, such as drums, electric guitars, saxophones, and even a piano." Fu Decai said.

Scanning the instruments in the recording studio, Yang Dongxu nodded.

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

The main reason is that the error tolerance rate is too low if the singer and the band cooperate to record, and if the tempo is slightly out of touch, they have to be re-recorded. And there are too many noises recorded together.

Even a line of lyrics sometimes has to be recorded several times over and over again. You can’t let the band play the music over and over again several times, even a dozen times, right?

So when the singer was recording, the sentence could not be recorded until the act, and the band made mistakes and re-recorded. Both sides are fine, the rhythm is correct, and then they fit together just perfect.

Yang Dongxu first called the Academy of Art and asked a teacher to help him stay for a while. In order to learn more things in the past few years, he has been hanging out with the Chinese opera a lot. Many teachers are familiar with it, so finding a band is not a problem. difficulty.

Let Zhang Wen and Wu Qi sing again. Although Zhang Wen has made progress, he can't meet Yang Dongxu's requirements. On the contrary, Wu Qi makes people feel reborn. Obviously, he has a good comprehension ability. So Zhang Wen was asked to go to the next room and study on his own, recording Wu Qi's first.

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

I only recorded Wu Qi's song in one morning, and only half of it was 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 song, and Zhang Wen started recording.

Compared to Wu Qi who can say a sentence from time to time, Zhang Wen's recording lasted for two hours, but he didn't even finish a sentence.

"Don't bring too much resentment. This song is not about resentment and jealousy. It's about two people who are in love but not happy with each other. The girl had a relationship before that gave a lot, but didn't get it. return.

The man she met now was infatuated with her, but she felt like a big brother to him. It's just that this man is willing to give everything to get back the girl's heart for love. There is infatuation and caring in the song”

In the recording studio, Yang Dongxu danced and gestured, trying to express what he wanted to express in this song so that Zhang Wen could understand.

In the past, when Yang Dongxu listened to songs, he only felt good, but he was always vague about the meaning expressed in the songs. But after several years of study, not to mention accurately grasping every point in the song, but 80% of the feelings can still be interpreted.

"Now I believe he is Xiaoxu." Seeing Yang Dongxu anxiously narrating to Zhang Wen, Luo Wenhua touched Fu De beside him and said.

"It's a bit like a music producer." Fu Decai smiled. The more professional and talented Yang Dongxu is, the more promising Haina Records is, the happier he is naturally.

"Ten minutes of rest, you can think about it again, and we will record later." Seeing Zhang Wen's mournful face, Yang Dongxu waved his hand and announced to take a break.

After coming outside the recording room and taking a sip of water, Yang Dongxu never let go of his furrowed brows.

"After all, Zhang Wen has just debuted not long ago. Take your time, isn't your requirement too high?" If Fu Decai is just an outsider, Luo Wenhua is an absolute expert, so I feel that Yang Dongxu's standard is a bit high.

"I know that my requirements may be a little harsh sometimes, but good songs are hard to come by. If you can't fully sing the feeling of this song, it's better not to sing it. This is the first time that Heiner Records For the two songs released, I must at least let my peers see our standard, 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 A Zhe who will become famous after his talent and voice are excellent.

But if the song "Love Like a Tide" doesn't express that taste, this famous song will be ruined. It's not that this song won't be popular according to Zhang Wen's level, but that the depth of Heiner's records can be seen at a glance in the eyes of an insider, and he doesn't want to lose face in front of his colleagues.

At the same time, Ajina was his idol. Although he had never been a fanatic before his rebirth, he hadn't even been to his concerts, and he hadn't even bought a few genuine tapes and CDs, but he was also his idol. Yang Dongxu couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart because the song was so perfunctory.

After ten minutes the recording resumes.

As soon as Yang Dongxu sang two lines, he rushed into the recording studio and asked Zhang Wen to stop.

At this time, Zhang Wen's complexion was not good. After all, no matter who has been tossing back and forth for two hours, he still has anger in his heart without showing a word. But after confirming that Yang Dongxu was Xiaoxu, he didn't dare to get angry, not to mention that the person in front of him was his own boss.

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

When he came to the lounge outside, the frowning Yang Dongxu stretched out his hand and took a guitar from the side and said, "I'll sing it for you again, and you can find out how you feel, but my voice is not suitable for expressing this song. With a childish voice, but the general feelings should be similar, you listen."

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

Holding the guitar and tried the next note, Yang Dongxu began to play, "I don't ask why you are crying."

Yang Dongxu's voice was a little tight when he sang the first sentence, and he was also a little out of tune, so he stopped for a while. Hang hang cleared his throat, and then started again.

"Don't ask why you shed tears

don't care who else is in your heart

please let me comfort you

No matter the ending is happy or sad

traveled thousands of mountains and rivers

"

Yang Dongxu closed his eyes while singing, his voice is obviously different from Zhang Xinzhe, the 13-year-old still has an immature childish voice in his voice.

But when Yang Dongxu spoke for the second time, Luo Wenhua's eyes lit up suddenly. Wu Qi had an incredulous expression on his face, and Zhang Wen was angry from the beginning, but turned into a trace of shame.

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

After the song ended, the living room was quiet.

"Ahem. Well, why don't you sing this song." Luo Wenhua said suddenly, and everyone was taken aback.

Zhang Wen opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end. Although Luo Wenhua's words not only hit him, but also might make him lose the chance of becoming famous, but when he sang with Yang Dongxu, it is true that Yang Dongxu is more like a singer, but he is just a fledgling who only knows how to grasp the tune .

"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 after thinking about it, he felt that this path was not suitable for him.

He is the kind of character who likes to pretend quietly, he usually doesn't show it like a passer-by, but if someone blows his hair in front of him, he just shows his identity, and the other party will put his head in his crotch in shame. that feeling.

"Let's go here first today. I'll go to the Chinese opera to see and try to get the band's affairs done. Zhang Wen will try to comprehend the taste of this song. After the band arrives, if it doesn't work, record the soundtrack first, and then Listen to the soundtrack and see if it will be better." Taking a look at Zhang Wen's expression, Yang Dongxu knew that it would be useless 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 bit arrogant as a Hong Kong singer before, then Yang Dongxu was knocked into the pit in an instant when he played and sang. A professional singer is not as good as a kid. What is he so proud of? ?

"This song may be really difficult, but it's easy to get results if you break through the difficulties? I dare not say anything else. As long as you can sing this song well, even if you don't have 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, as if Yang Dongxu was an adult, and Zhang Wen who was comforted was a child.

After leaving the recording studio, Fu De drove Yang Dongxu and sat in the co-pilot's seat. Because he didn't have a driver's license and didn't plan to hire a driver, Fude acted as the driver temporarily.
