The original owner's thirteen-year-old piano was not practiced in vain.

Moreover, practicing the piano is not only about the piano, but also cultivating a comprehensive musical literacy.

Of course, for the current Peng Xiangming, these things are purely inherited, the inheritance of body memory, the inheritance of muscle memory, etc., but after all, they are not practiced by themselves, and it still takes a period of practice to fully adapt and master them.

What's more, before that, the original owner had barely played for three years.

But this thing,Actually, it's similar to riding a bicycle.,No.,That's no.,Once you learn it.,It's not so easy to throw it away.,I haven't ridden it for more than ten years.,Pedal it and master it again.。

In the big empty room, Peng Xiangming was alone, how much could he remember about the score, and it didn't matter if he forgot a short paragraph, he kept playing anyway, even if he played blindly, the more he played, the more he played, the more refreshing it became.

Suddenly, I had a feeling of mastering a high-end skill.

And it's a piano, so it feels like it's quite stylish.

The heart is very cool.

After wandering like this for more than an hour, he felt that his arms and shoulders were a little hot and sore, so he put away the smugness and excitement, took out the gel pen and the newly bought stave exercise book from the bag he brought, and began to do serious things - copying songs.

Purely technically, it is not difficult for an expert in playing music to restore a tune heard in headphones and record it on a staff.

I made a mistake a few times, and when I found it, I found it.

The master listens to the score and plays it out over and over again, and even guarantees that there is no mistake in a single note.

For Peng Xiangming, the difficulty of this matter is that in reality, he can't hear it, all tunes only exist in memory, so he can only capture the memory, and even hum it himself, and then calibrate it again and again through the pronunciation of the piano - but what if you hum inaccurately?

So, after a short section is sorted out, when you play it together, you need to rely on your familiarity with the song to find out the wrong sound.

It's not that hard, though.

After all, it's copying, and it's much easier than real creation.

Even if Peng Xiangming had just started this great undertaking and his proficiency was limited, it only took three hours to completely pick out the scores of the two songs "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" and "The Sky of History".

So when I went back to school in the evening, I couldn't help but feel proud.

When the water group was after dinner, Peng Xiangming asked Qi Yuan to help ask her classmates at the Conservatory of Music, and asked her to help inquire about what recording studios Yanjing had to do with the outside world.

As a result, twenty minutes later, Qi Yuan replied to him, saying that her classmate said that there are two recording studios for teaching at the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, and if Peng Xiangming wants to use it, he can go over and rub it on the weekend, but he has to say hello in advance, and he needs to find a classmate from the recording department to help, and go to their counselor to get the key.

In addition, if you want to copy it directly to the CD, you have to pay for the raw materials.

You don't need to use the pure network storage format, just bring a USB flash drive and copy it away.

Peng Xiangming hurriedly told Qi Yuan and asked her to help with this matter, and the time was this Sunday.

Qi Yuan replied with an "OK" gesture and stopped talking.

If this is done, the money of the recording studio will be saved again - it is said that the money is calculated by the hour, and even the equipment and the labor cost of other recording engineers, each recording studio charges differently, but the minimum is from 2,000 per hour!

It's so expensive that you scratch your feet!

............

After breakfast the next day, Peng Xiangming first went to make two copies of the score, and the ID card was also copied, and then stayed up until the end of a big class, followed the tutorial searched on the Internet, took a taxi, and went straight to the office hall of the National Copyright Administration.

The data is kept for the record and protected for one year, and a short music work costs 480 yuan.

However, the filing here has legal effect.

And after one year, you can renew it, forever.

Of course, once it's published, it's a different process.

Before publication, the materials will be submitted by the publishing company and officially entered into the electronic system of the national copyright database, which is a one-time payment, which is directly protected for 30 years after the author's death.

If there is plagiarism or similarity between two works, the first criterion is the time of filing in the warehouse.

Therefore, whether it is included in the archive of every page of documents, document bags, or the copy and receipt handed to Peng Xiangming, the electronic seal stamped on it carries the time, and the time is accurate to the minute.

Many tutorials on the Internet say that with this, it is already possible to completely ignore the copyright protection and certification of any other association.

Because other so-called protections have no direct legal effect, they can only be used as a proof of time - if there is a lawsuit in the future, this is a sure win, and everything else will have to be torn apart.

Two songs, copyright protection for one year, plus handling fees, a thousand yuan will be out.

But the other side still has to go.

So it was finally done, and after getting the receipt and number certificate, Peng Xiangming hurriedly took a taxi to the Copyright Registration and Protection Center of the Chinese Musicians Association - the so-called registration and protection here does not have legal effect, but there is a nationally certified expert group here, and once there is a plagiarism and infringement case related to music copyright on the court's side, it is this expert group that is responsible for judging whether plagiarism is constituted.

If the other party directly copied the whole song, and even passers-by could casually hear that it was exactly the same, then of course, it is enough to have a record with the Copyright Office, and the expert group will never judge that it does not constitute plagiarism.

But what if the other party is a master and only copies part of your melody, or it sounds plausible, plausible, or something? At that time, the expert panel of the musicians association will judge whether another piece constitutes plagiarism through professional knowledge and professional standards, which becomes a very fatal step.

The judgment made by others has the power of legal proof and credibility.

Therefore, it is better to pay this protection fee.

It's not too much trouble, because there are not many people in this copyright registration and protection center, so there is no need to queue up at all, it's just ...... Expensive.

It's still those two songs, it's still a one-year protection period, and the little 4,000 yuan will go out again.

If you are not sure that your song will be particularly valuable in the future, there is a chance that you will not be willing to come over and pay this protection fee - when it is also done here, people happen to rest at noon, Peng Xiangming held four document bags, sat down on the steps outside the hall, and after a simple calculation, he found that he was more than 7,000 in debt.

Fortunately, I know a hidden boss and lend 8,000 to 10,000.

And finally got everything done in half the morning, not to mention anything else, at least I was at ease.

Wait until the afternoon to pick up the score of "This Worship", and this process will have to be done again.

But that's next week.

............

The matter was arranged in advance, and on Sunday morning, Zhao Jianyuan drove the car and took Peng Xiangming and Qi Yuan to the Huaxia Conservatory of Music together.

I contacted a senior brother in the recording department over there, and he was about to graduate, so he specialized in this, making a few changes to spend, and the school probably acquiesced, so he didn't care much.

Well, from 9 to 12 in the morning, from 2 to 6 in the afternoon, for seven hours, you have to give people 1,400 yuan - this is the face price.

But even so, when the car arrived at the gate of the Conservatory of Music, Peng Xiangming still asked Zhao Jianyuan to find a roadside to stop the car first, ran to buy a bag of fruit, and picked up an expensive carton of milk.

As a result, when he came back, he found that Zhao Jianyuan and Qi Yuan were both standing outside the car.

Zhao Jianyuan smiled, "You won't agree to call you." Actually, you don't need to buy it. ”

Without waiting for Peng Xiangming to speak, Qi Yuan sneered and mocked, "You two really deserve to have slept in a kennel for three years, and you even have the same idea of this kind of thing." ”

Zhao Jianyuan opened the trunk, and there was a carton of milk lying inside, exactly the same as the one in Peng Xiangming's hand.

He said: "Yesterday afternoon, I thought that I might have to use it today, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to remember it when I got up early, so I bought a box in advance and put it in the trunk, and forgot to tell you." I just called you to come, and you ran away. ”

Qi Yuan said: "Actually, there is no need at all, we have to spend money! People are also trying to make money, and they don't need to rub anyone's face, why do you do this!"

Peng Xiangming put the milk and fruit in the trunk, "You think it's for the recording engineer? This is for your little sister, do you know the girl?"

Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Jianyuan laughed twice.

"Then it's even more needy, we're fine!"

"Just because you're good doesn't mean I'm good with others. ”

"Cut! Come less! You two are so greasy! Middle-aged old man!"

"But now it's heavier! one more, alas, let's retreat, it's not easy to return, Lao Zhao and I don't usually drink much milk, or find a trash can to throw it away!"

"Phew! The extra one is mine! I'm helping to find someone, and I'm trying to save face, and I'm going to accompany you two over, so I can't have any hard work!"

"Actually, I usually drink milk, so just throw it in my car. ”

"It's all said it's my hard work!"

............

As soon as the phone call was called, the person was quickly seen.

A very clean and refreshing girl, named Zhao Mingfang, who studies ethnicity.

It is said that when I was in high school, I had a very good relationship with Qi Yuan, and I was in Yanjing in college, and I often had contact and movement with each other, and the relationship should be maintained quite well.

Everyone met, got to know each other briefly, and learned that the person who wanted to use the recording studio was Peng Xiangming, and her eyes turned around on Peng Xiangming and Qi Yuan's faces, as if she was smiling.

For the time being, no one mentioned the milk and fruit, Zhao Mingfang commanded to park the car in an unobstructed place, and then took the three people straight to the small recording studio in the teaching building of the Conservatory.

While walking, Zhao Mingfang also introduced, saying: "I heard that I just changed a new set of equipment the year before last, and the effect is good! The senior brother I am looking for is also very good, and the people are also very enthusiastic, and they all say hello, you can absolutely rest assured, it is their rule, you have to give money first." ”

Peng Xiangming said: "That's no problem. ”

I found Studio 2 and knocked on the door, and there was already someone waiting inside.

He is a well-mannered young man.

Zhao Mingfang introduced that his name is Du Pengfei, the senior brother of the recording department.

Get to know each other briefly, and as soon as the money was transferred on WeChat, Du Pengfei began to introduce this recording studio.

Qi Yuan still wanted to stay and watch the excitement, it seemed that he wanted to hear what Peng Xiangming wanted to record, but in the end he still let Zhao Jianyuan drag him away - said that Peng Xiangming would invite Qi Yuan, her classmate Zhao Mingfang, and Du Pengfei, the senior brother of the recording department, to have dinner together, but Zhao Jianyuan had other things to do, and he would go back first.

When they left, Peng Xiangming turned off his mobile phone first, thinking about starting the recording, but Du Pengfei was a little surprised when he saw this, and asked: "Just yourself? Don't you find a professional person to help you listen?

"Huh?" Peng Xiangming was a little confused.

Du Pengfei didn't understand anything when he saw this, so he had to explain - what kind of recording you are, someone has to help you listen, give advice, adjust the style or something, right?

In the industry, this person is called a producer.

Peng Xiangming thought about it, and it didn't seem necessary, so he said directly: "It's okay, I don't have an accompanist, and I don't have a producer, so I listened to the playback by myself after recording, and if I was satisfied, I would do it again! ”

The other party was speechless for a moment, anyway, he collected the money to work, so he simply didn't talk much.

I've probably seen a lot of this.

There is a lot of equipment in the recording studio, sound insulation, radio, even if it is just a teaching recording studio, it must be professional-level, but operating those things is the work of a recording engineer, Peng Xiangming, as a "singer", what he needs to do is actually to stand behind the glass wall, put on a headset, find the position of the microphone, and sing.

After briefly familiarizing themselves with the position and the microphone position, the two of them were ready to start the trial recording first.

In the past two days, Peng Xiangming has also practiced I don't know how many times, I feel that he sings quite well, the baritone is definitely not able to sing, and he can't sing the style and rhyme of the two original singers, but he himself feels that first of all, the tone should be very different, and secondly, the style and feeling, as a person who has been influenced by the original song countless times, should be able to get a lot of essence.

That's enough.

It's just a sample!

As soon as the trial recording began, Du Pengfei's brows furrowed tightly.

Peng Xiangming sang very devotedly in the glass wall, but when he finished singing, he saw Du Pengfei speechless, opened the door and came out, he asked, "What's wrong?

Du Pengfei touched his nose, hesitated and hesitated, but finally couldn't hold back, "Dude, I know you study film, it's understandable that you are not professional, but ...... I won't talk about your breathing, you also have a bit of a problem with your pitch, have you? Have you ever learned to pronounce a voice? Haven't you practiced breathing?"

Peng Xiangming's face turned red.

He's a little weak," I sang...... Isn't it bad?"

The other party continued to frown, looking ashamed, "It's not a bad question! I don't have any impression of your song, the song is quite good, but I listen to what you sing...... It feels like you're singing with a flesh voice, and you haven't studied vocal music, right......? Come on, come and hear it yourself!"

Peng Xiangmingte walked out embarrassedly and put on headphones to listen to the playback.

He listened and thought it was fine.

"Is it bad?" he asked, shamelessly.

The other party was speechless, put the headphones back on, chose to play from the beginning, and after a while, stopped, took off the headphones and started singing directly, "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water, Waves Sweeping Heroes ......"

He is not a baritone, a bit of a bel canto feeling, but as soon as this voice came out, Peng Xiangming immediately knew what "professional" was.

Once again, he couldn't help but feel a little hot on his face.

"Dude, you're ...... Learn bel canto?"

"No, I studied recording, I learned bel canto in high school, and of course I didn't sing professionally. But I'll be honest, you're ...... I don't know what you're for, if you're recording for pure self-entertainment, then you can record it like this, sing it a few times, pick the best one, torture it, and you're done. But if you're recording a sample, or you're going to submit to a record company, I'd suggest you'd better find a professional one to sing at. ”

After a pause, he said, "Don't pick anything else, at least your voice is steady! If your breath is not good, if your breath is not good, your voice will not be stable." If your voice is unsteady, you ...... Since you are the author, don't you understand that you can't express what you want to express when you sing it yourself!"

Peng Xiangming scratched his scalp and said in his heart: Okay! It seems that this money is not so easy to save!

You still have to be a professional person to do a professional job.

And their own words...... Not to mention yourself, even if it was a piano at the peak of the original owner, it was at best half a professional level, or more likely, it was only a good amateur.

But musical instruments and vocal music are not the same thing!

In the eyes of professionals, his current vocal performance level is probably ...... Idiot level?
