Chapter 31: Recording the opening and ending songs
January 1, 2016, New Year's Day
Unkempt and sloppy Zuo Le came out of the editing room where he had been in for more than a month, and as soon as he took a breath of fresh air, he was driven by Chen Fatzi, who rushed to the news with a disgusted face, to a nearby bathing center.
Soaking comfortably in the pool for more than half an hour, and then being cleaned up by the bathing master, Zuo Le felt that his body was several pounds lighter, fluttering like stepping on the clouds.
Grabbed the fat man Chen who still wanted to continue the project, and Zuo Le shook his head at him
"Let's get down to business first, have you found the singer and recording studio I asked you to contact?"
Chen Fatzi was a little disappointed, and complained about Zuo Le's workaholic, but he still honestly followed Zuo Le out of the bathing center.
In fact, with Chen Fatzi's fearful personality, even if he goes upstairs, he will sweat and steam, and then order a regular massage to relax and relax, as for those real projects, he really doesn't have the guts.
Of course, today's society is harmonious and beautiful, and people's bathing centers don't do these pickling for a living, but do formal and legal business.........
On the way, Chen Fatzi drove a car while introducing the singer he found to Zuo Le.
The singer's surname is Han, his name is Han Fang, 40 years old this year, earlier at the beginning of the century, he was also a little red once, barely a third-rate singer, but unfortunately he failed to maintain his popularity, and soon disappeared from everyone.
In order to support the family, I can only hang out in the bar or guide the newcomers who have just entered the industry to collect some tuition, and occasionally pick up some scattered small jobs, the income is not high, but it can be regarded as passable.
But don't look at this old brother, although he is average, his singing skills are really hard.
Whether it is national bel canto or pop rock, come as soon as you open your mouth, in the music circle of Quancheng, the Korean side is definitely a master of the business level alone.
Zuo Le, who was sitting in the back seat, listened to Chen Fatzi's introduction and nodded secretly in his heart.
In fact, he has also heard of the number one character of the Korean side, it is not expensive to live, and it is suitable to sing the opening and ending songs of "Underground Transportation Station".
Half an hour later.
Chen Fatzi drove to the pre-arranged recording studio, and Zuo Le also met the singer Han Fang, who had been waiting here for a long time.
Although this old man is 40 years old, he is dressed very stylishly.
Jeans, leather jacket, Martin boots, and a floral belt with a small silver chain on his waist, plus a wavy roll of bells and whistles, he is a rock 'n' roll veteran.
However, although the dress is a little bohemian, the Korean side still has a very low posture in the face of Zuo Le and Chen Fatzi, the two masters.
Words such as Director Zuo, Producer Chen, you, and no problem are inseparable.
At first glance, it is a standard low-level singer who has been tempered by countless social poisons............
Zuo Le had no intention of discussing the bitterness and bitterness of the low-level singers with Han Fang, and seeing that the singer was already in place, he directly pulled Han Fang to the recording studio to try out the song.
If the Korean side meets the requirements, then record the song directly, if not, seize the time to change people.

Studio
Zuo Le took out a few prepared sheet music and handed them to the recording engineer and the Korean side, so that they could familiarize themselves with the lyrics and music as soon as possible.
In the original version of "Underground Transportation Station", except for the soundtrack BGM in the film, there are no other episodes, and there are only two songs in the whole play, one at the beginning and one at the end.
Zuo Le intends to copy it as it is.
Among them, the opening song "The Eighth Route Army Pulls the Big Bolt" is very easy to operate.
Because Huaguo itself also has such a song that is very similar, but the lyrics in it are slightly different.
Zuo Le bought the copyright of this song, and then changed the lyrics slightly according to the plot, and easily got the opening song of "Underground Transportation Station".
And the ending song "Song of the Guerrillas" is a bit complicated.........
Zuo Lezai carefully checked Huaguo's music software and music library information, and found that Huaguo did not have any information about this song.
In desperation, Zuo Le had no choice but to pick up the script from the film and television player in his head, and then began to pick up the score again.
Fortunately, Zuo Le participated in the school's guitar club in order to chase his sister in college, but later his sister didn't chase it, but he learned a lot of guitar vocal knowledge by mistake, and he almost ran for vice president.
Now, although I haven't touched the guitar for many years, the foundation is still there, and with the help of some professional software, I can copy the lyrics and songs smoothly.
In order to reward himself for his efforts in this matter, Zuo Le took the initiative to put his name behind the songwriter.
Ho-phew~
............
Don't talk about someone's shamelessness, the book goes back to the text.
These two songs are simple in tune, not difficult to sing, and it didn't take long for the professional Korean side to become familiar with the score.
After greeting Zuo Le and the recording engineer, Han Fang walked into the recording studio, and after a while, a deep sonorous voice sounded.
"We are all sharpshooters, every bullet destroys an enemy, we are all flying troops, even if the mountains are high and the water is deep........."
Fat Chen took off the headphones on his head and puffed Zuo Le next to him: "How about it, the singer my brother is looking for is okay." ”
Zuo Le nodded: "40,000 yuan is not spent in vain." ”
"Of course. ”
Fat Chen was shy, and said quite smugly: "Lao Han is a professional after all, and his singing skills are here, although it costs some money, but it's better than letting the leading actors do it themselves before."
It's not that we are talking bad about people behind our backs, except for one Wu Yue, who is still okay, and the rest of those who have broken gongs and voices, Liu Jinhai can also sing, but as soon as he opens his mouth, it is easy to turn to Jinmen Allegro, on the whole, it is cost-effective to find a professional singer. ”
Zuo Le couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard this, how could he know that the actors he was looking for were so uncompetitive.
You must know that the opening and ending songs of the original "Underground Transportation Station" are all performed by the leading actors themselves, but it is Zuo Le's turn.
Alas.........
If it weren't for the fact that it was difficult for everyone to pick the lead, he would have spent 40,000 yuan to hire a singer.
............
Although the Korean side sang well, it still took three days to record the two songs under the requirements of the recording engineer.
After listening to the finished product, Zuo Le was very satisfied, and very happily asked Chen Fatzi to settle the account with Han Fang, and then contacted a special effects company and asked him to help make the opening and ending of the cartoon and the original "comic book-style".
During this period, in addition to going out to supervise and inspect the goods, Zuo Le spent the rest of his time in the editing room every day for post-production.
Under his hard work day and night, the progress of "Underground Transportation Station" is fast, and if it goes well, it is expected to be officially completed by the end of January.
Zuo Le took the time to call Fang Weimin and reported the progress of the later stage, and at the same time, he also urged the old party to make more snacks about the schedule of "Underground Transportation Station".
Fang Weimin immediately agreed, and happily told Zuo Le that the ratings of "Kind Grass" performed well, which made the situation of the production center better, and even the schedule arrangement with "Underground Traffic Station" has more room for improvement.
Zuo Le was busy with the later stage of "Underground Transportation Station" during this time, and he really didn't know the ratings of "Kind Little Grass", so he was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly inquired about the old party.
