178. The Truth in the Words
2-in-1)
That being said, when we first started working together, it wasn't pleasant at all.
For Shinichi Iwahashi, this is his first time as a producer, and for Chisato Moritaka, it is to overturn the music world that he has just built since his debut and re-establish his own style.
Both of them are in a state of inexperience and need to grope.
In fact, the shortcomings of the production model such as idols, which frequently change producers, are very obvious.
is not a partner who has maintained cooperation for a long time, and often lacks the necessary tacit understanding between producers and singers, and if it wants to be effective, it will take a lot of effort to put it into the matter of running in with each other.
If you ignore this difference and do it head-on, it is easy to have problems such as inconsistent song styles, and you will not be able to maximize the abilities of each other.
Iwahashi Shinichi remembered that when he first met Miwa Yoshida, although the two sides had the same goal, it was useless to just "fall in love", and they still had to rely on themselves to polish each other, and at the same time use each other to polish themselves, so that they gradually became more ideal partners in each other's hearts.
The live-free newlyweds have different living habits.
And now, since both sides have the idea of doing better, it has become necessary to run in with Sentaka Chisato. So, even if it took a little more time at first, he still decided to get to know her and polish her before entering the official recording stage.
When GENZO was founded, Shin'ichi Iwahashi decided to make a band his next big goal, and he collaborated with Manyumi Watanabe to produce the band Heaven.
As a result, the band Heaven has not yet been broadcast, and the first object of the producer is still an idol.
It's not ironic or anything, it's normal.
Before idols were born, those producers who made idols were also producers who produced bands or singers, and conversely, as long as the communication was in place, the band producers would also cooperate with idols.
Lyricist Akuyu is not only able to write lyrics that can be passed down to the world, but also serves as a judge for "STAR! Birth". The chubby young man Qiu Yuanyasu can not only write lyrics for the fast-moving consumer idols on the assembly line, but when he is serious, singers and bands can also come to everything.
Needless to say, Ryuichi Sakamoto is so powerful, he will still give songs to idols.
Experience is a common thing.
Ordinary people who are the audience can distinguish the obvious likes and dislikes because of the different tastes, but the people behind the scenes should try to eliminate this prejudice.
......
The cooperation with Sentaka Chisato does not have to show the strength to run in with Miwa-chan, but it still requires a lot of energy.
Therefore, in the first few days, both of them were in a state where neither of them liked the other. Shinichi Iwahashi is the biggest producer, and he is not merciless at all when he provokes trouble.
And Senri Mori is not the kind of assembly line singer who is obedient and has no ideas of his own, and he will not swallow his anger when he can't agree with it, but he will be outspoken.
Especially when they met for the first time in the conference room, Shinichi Iwahashi also left a somewhat bad impression on Chisato Moritaka.
First of all, he was ruthless, which made Mori Takachi feel that he was arrogant, difficult to speak, and very arbitrary. When he left, he also added an impression of "very gentlemanly".
Either way, it's not a good word.
Because his impression of him was not good enough, when he spoke up for the first time, Chisato Moritaka was ready to be scolded.
As a result, instead of scolding her, Shinichi Iwahashi listened carefully to her opinion. not only listened, but also discussed with her in an orderly manner what was feasible and what was not feasible.
Although he was vetoed in the end, Sentaka Chisato felt like he was flashed more than lost.
This producer doesn't seem to be as impersonal as he imagined.
This should have been a good thing, but I had done a good job of psychological construction and was ready to put up with this difficult producer for a while, but the other party didn't want to fight with her and used the knife in his hand to cut watermelons for her.
Sentaka Chisato has a delicate feeling that he wants to compete but can't make it, so he can only hold back his feet.
Treating him as a bad person, but the other person is not bad, before breathing a sigh of relief, he first felt a loss of distraction.
Man is such a strange creature.
Butβ
"Mori Gaosan, this can't be done!"
When Shinichi Iwahashi corrected the bite of one of her lyrics and asked her arbitrarily in an irrefutable tone, Chisato Moritaka couldn't help but have the idea of retracting the previous illusion that "Iwahashi producers are not bad people".
Although he is not a bad person, he is certainly not a gentle person.
The so-called people have a thousand faces, which is probably the same thing.
The eighteen-year-old girl has a little subtlety in the senses of this producer. But she didn't realize that when she met him for the first time, the psychological resistance left behind made her pay more attention to Shinichi Iwahashi after she started working together.
It is precisely this kind of redoubled attention that makes her pay special attention to Iwahashi Shinichi's various practices.
Shinichi Iwahashi had no idea that Chisato Moritaka had such complex senses for him.
For Iwahashi Shinichi, when it comes to his hands, Senri Moritaka is like a new piece of raw material, and he looks at the raw material, finds out the advantages and flaws of the raw material, looks at what the raw material resembles and then conceives it in his mind.
Good raw materials are rare, and it is a sin to waste a little bit, and excessive craftsmanship is sometimes actually to remove and cover up the flaws on the raw materials, and for the raw materials of Sentaka Chisa, there are not too many places that need to be overly modified.
She already has a natural characteristic beauty herself, so what he has to do is to highlight this natural beauty, and second, to transform the exposed flaws.
In the studio, Shinichi Iwahashi is like a fish in water.
A novice producer with an agent-turned-career, even if he has experience in forming a band, in the eyes of the recording engineer in charge of Chisato Moritaka, he has to put a question mark on his ability in his heart.
However, soon the recording engineer discovered that this young man was not a thin man who did not know how to make and could only play the piano, on the contrary, he had a talent that ordinary people did not have.
You know, when singing in the studio, the sound fed back to the opposite monitor headphones is dry, so even a small flaw will be exposed, and people with poor singing skills can really contribute to the deadly singing voice.
In particular, Iwahashi Shinichi's ears are particularly powerful.
When I listened to the audition tape of the AMUSE newcomer before, Shinichi Iwahashi, who has an absolute sense of tone, was tormented by the newcomer at the level of "Offering of Love", and when she arrived at Chisato Moritaka, she was blessed with an absolute sense of tone, and her singing level was naturally exposed.
However, although Senkari Moritaka is a bit of a chicken, he is quite good in other aspects. Although his singing skills are not good enough, the pitch is there, and the voice is full of characteristics, so he can still eat this bowl of rice as a singer.
Shinichi Iwahashi sees the inadequacies he hears in her singing as flaws in the raw materials, and thinks about how to polish these flaws, so he asks her over and over again to sing a certain lyric that sounds awkward to him, looking for the best singing plan.
At first, Chisato Moritaka saw it as a manifestation of his "unkindness", and the recording engineer also disagreed with his approach, thinking that it was not appropriate to confirm it sentence by sentence.
It wasn't until Shinichi Iwahashi said "yes" that the three of them sat down together to listen to the recording.
Through comparison, Iwahashi Shinichi explained a little bit why Chisato Moritaka tried to use a certain singing method, and what was inappropriate. This kind of comparison made the two understand his hard work.
The recording engineer couldn't help but look at him with admiration, "Iwahashi-san, you're really sensitive to sound." β
Shinichi Iwahashi looked modest, "It's okay. β
"It's not just 'okay', if you're working in a studio, you're going to be a first-class recording engineer. β
Iwahashi smiled and took the compliment, too modest is pride.
Chisato Moritaka listened to Shinichi Iwahashi's analysis and guidance on the sidelines, and had nothing to say.
When looking at this Iwahashi producer, the resistance in his heart also melted a lot at this moment - if he hadn't been so unkind, maybe this kind of resistance would have existed for a long time.
However, when he had been tossed and miserable for so long, he suddenly understood his good intentions, and in this way, his goodness was infinitely magnified, as if it was the first sweetness he tasted after the bitterness was exhausted.
Chisato Moritaka has changed his impression of Shinichi Iwahashi a little.
This Iwahashi producer is to the point, but what he says is reasonable, and sometimes although he is not close to people, he is not using power as a weapon...... It's not as scary as you think.
Even the "gentleman" is this...... After they started working together, he also showed that he was undoubtedly a decent man.
Seems to have misunderstood him?
......
For example, we sing it separately one by one, then listen to the scattered tracks, and then point out some problems in pronunciation, articulation, and beat according to the characteristics of Moritaka Chisa's voice.
Wait until you figure out these things, and then break them down.
The goal has been achieved, and after explaining to Chisato Moritaka, Shinichi Iwahashi said, "So, please remember that feeling, and pay more attention to those places when you officially record next." β
He marked the points that needed to be noted on the score.
Chisato Moritaka nodded, honest and obedient, "Yes, Iwahashi-san." Now, understanding Iwahashi Shinichi's intentions, the stubbornness that Moritaka Chisato began has gradually softened.
"That's right," Iwahashi Shinichi remembered the small movements of her hands when he saw her singing when he watched her record a song just now, and asked, "Are the movements of your hands when you sing a simulation of playing drums?"
When I saw her singing just now, I subconsciously waved my hands. At first, Iwahashi Shinichi thought that her little movement was a bit strange, but after paying close attention to it, he could see that it was a drumming movement.
"Huh?"
Chisato Mori was a little embarrassed to be seen by him, and explained: "Because I have been a drummer in the school band before, I subconsciously followed suit." β
The reason why I am embarrassed comes from the shyness of a little secret being seen through.
"Aren't you a little nervous?" Iwahashi felt keenly.
As long as it's not negotiable, Iwahashi Shinichi is a person who seems gentle and steady. This gentleness made Chisato Moritaka, who had just changed his opinion of him a little, feel reassured, and nodded, "A little." β
"Well, are you going to break this habit? Chisato Moritaka asked.
Unexpectedly, Iwahashi Shinichi's answer was not a denial of her, but: "It's okay if you don't change it." ...... On the contrary, I think it's a good idea to keep this little gesture in mind. β
"Really?" said Moritaka Chisato was a little surprised.
"Yes, although a little naΓ―ve, or rather childish. "However, it can also be seen as a part of your personal style, and the so-called style does not necessarily have to be handsome, beautiful, cute, or something like that." Koji Yoshikawa squeezed his eyebrows on the stage, and the typhoon with his legs raised high seemed inexplicable at first glance, but it had its own charm. β
Especially the one who squeezed his eyebrows and made his eyes, it was really magical to watch it for a long time.
Koji Yoshikawa is a well-known male singer today, and his masterpiece "Monica" was covered by Zhang Guorong, no matter which of the two versions, as long as you start "thanks thanks thanks thanks Monica!", they are both charming.
Koji Yoshikawa was a water polo athlete in high school, an alternate Olympian, and his excellent motor nerves made him not "settle" after becoming a singer.
In addition, this gentleman is a handsome guy with countless female fans, and he can be called a girl killer in this era.
As a girl of this era, Chisato Moritaka is naturally no stranger to Koji Yoshikawa. Hearing Iwahashi Shinichi take him to lift chestnuts, he couldn't help but smile.
"In short, there is no need to be 'perfect' for someone standing on stage. Shinichi Iwahashi pointed out this, "There are some small shortcomings, but he is full of human feelings, and he is a person who stands there alive." Only when you become a living person can you have the charm to attract others. β
It's a time when stars have fallen from the clouds.
Once upon a time, when there were only movie screens, stars were undoubtedly on the clouds. So much so that when there was a TV, excited fans would kiss the TV screen to express their support for their favorite stars because the stars were close to them. At that time, the stars were too far away.
The popularity of television is the beginning of the fall of stars from the clouds.
And after the changes and alternations of the times, no one will believe in the lie of "stars are gods" anymore, and the overly perfect idol makes people feel false, so that they can't give birth to the idea of wanting to support her.
A little flawed to make the star a human being, which can also be seen as a strategy.
When the shortcomings shorten the distance between the star and the public, after spontaneously giving birth to a sense of intimacy, when you look at more advantages of the star, you will worship her more.
Chisato Moritaka is a smart girl, and after listening to his words, she probably understands the true meaning of his words.
