Chapter 60: Recording Songs
The scores were announced.
Jiang Chao's score is really the same as what he said, you can choose the best university, but you may not be able to choose the best major. Jiang Chao thought about it for a long time and had already made a decision, he was going to apply for the university that his father once studied, Tunghai University.
The best universities don't necessarily have the best majors. For example, Jiang Chao's chosen major is information and computing science, and the best university in Huaguo is Tunghai University. This is a mathematics major, Jiang Chao is unwilling to give up his mathematical talent, and the trend of future social development also faintly tells him that he should choose this major. Jiang Chao is not a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, so he will no longer hesitate if he chooses, and he will no longer care about it after filling in the volunteer.
Lao Yu has been very busy lately, and he has been doing concert tours in several cities. It is said that it is a concert, but in fact, it is a club of folk singers, renting a small venue, setting up a small stage, and singing for an afternoon with a guitar. Most of the fans are some literary and artistic young people, both men and women, who flock around Lao Yu to listen to him sing.
Lao Yu told Jiang Chao that he prefers his current life to being a music studio. In fact, most folk singers are not rich, this is a niche music, and people outside the circle feel hypocritical, very hypocritical. Therefore, a folk singer who can become popular must have something outstanding about breaking through conventional folk songs.
Lao Yu is gone, and he has to go for a month or two to go to various cities to hold his "concerts". Jiang Chao felt very happy, no matter what, Lao Yu finally took the first step as a singer.
When leaving, Lao Yu gave Jiang Chao the key to the studio and told Jiang Chao to use it if he wanted to.
A few days later, Jiang Chao went to the studio to help Lao Yu clean up. Staying in the recording studio, Jiang Chao suddenly had other thoughts.
Jiang Chao hesitated for a while, turned on Lao Yu's computer, then closed his eyes, and recalled the pop songs that moved him before he was reborn.
Then, Jiang Chao laughed.
This is Jiang Chao's first time recording a song independently. Laying, melody, singing. One keyboard can do so much and basically play all the tones he wants with the keyboard. There are ready-made arrangements, Jiang Chao doesn't need to spend too much brainpower, and occasionally, he is not satisfied with the arrangements of some original works, and he will add some of his own ideas.
Singing is a top priority. To be honest, Jiang Chao's singing skills are not particularly good. He is a talented singer, and his skills are definitely far worse than those from a professional background. But his timbre is clean and thorough, which is the envy of others. Jiang Chao can control the vocal range of most songs, and if he encounters a song that is too high, Jiang Chao will lower the tone a little, not necessarily in the treble.
In the first afternoon, Jiang Chao produced five songs.
For the next half a month, Jiang Chao would come to Lao Yu's studio every day to record songs. As Jiang Chao became more and more proficient in software and equipment, it became a step-by-step process.
The popular songs are like being produced on an assembly line, and one after another comes out. After recording, Jiang Chao would lie on the sofa and close his eyes and listen carefully, if something sounded discordant or flawed, Jiang Chao would frown and record again. But it's only a demo, and it's still relatively rough.
After half a month, Jiang Chao has recorded many songs that he can think of, the songs are classic, and there are those that are suitable for him or not suitable for him to sing. Jiang Chao is not satisfied with some songs, not with the arrangement or the song itself, but with the way he sings, maybe he still has to "sing" to have that taste.
Jiang Chao thought to himself, maybe he could find an opportunity to sell some songs to the most suitable singers.
Lying on the sofa, Jiang Chao rested for a while, and suddenly someone called, Jiang Chao picked it up and saw that it was Su Yan.
Jiang Chao picked up the phone: "Hey?"
"What are you doing?" was Su Yan's nice voice on the other end.
"Hmm...... Lying on the couch. ”
Su Yan laughed: "I wrote a song, you can help me evaluate it." ”
Jiang Chao became interested and said, "Okay, you send it to me." ”
Jiang Chao used the computer used by Lao Yu to board the penguin, and Su Yan sent the song over.
This is the first time Jiang Chao has heard Su Yan sing. There is a difference between the voice that can sing and the voice that you usually speak. This is a song about a crush, it is sung in Korean, Jiang Chao also knows a little bit of Korean, and he doesn't speak it very standardly, but he can still understand it. Su Yan's voice was soft and glutinous, very gentle, although the song was decent, Jiang Chao still listened to it very patiently.
"How's it going?" asked Su Yan impatiently.
Jiang Chao hesitated, "Very good." It's a good song. ”
After a short silence, Su Yan sent a message: "That...... What about this song?"
Jiang Chao couldn't bear to hit Su Yan, but to be honest, this song is not very good, both from a musical point of view and from a pop point of view. A song must either be in terms of arrangement, chords or melody and let professionals applaud the case, or it must be down-to-earth and resonate with people with a catchy melody, but Su Yan's song has neither a design that amazes professional musicians, nor a melody that ordinary people can remember.
"Alas...... I know. Su Yan saw that Jiang Chao was slow to reply to the message, and she had already guessed it.
Jiang Chao was silent for a moment, and suddenly typed: "I also wrote a song, why don't you try it." ”
"Huh?"
"I'll send it to you later. ”
"Oh...... All right. ”
Jiang Chao sat in front of the computer and muttered for a moment, then his eyes became brighter and brighter, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, the song that was extremely brainwashing at the beginning sounded in Jiang Chao's mind again, and he had already begun to imagine what Su Yan would look like when she sang this song - it should be very interesting.
Jiang Chao opened the score production software and typed out the title: "Ode to Loveliness".
......
In addition to the lyrics and melodic scores, Jiang Chao also made an accompaniment tape by the way, and then packaged it together and sent it to Su Yan.
After a while, Su Yan replied: "???"
Then, Jiang Chao's mobile phone rang.
"Hmm......" Su Yan wanted to speak and stopped.
"How?"
Su Yan sighed: "Why are you embarrassed to sing this song...... It's embarrassing, isn't it? ”
Jiang Chao laughed, this smile had a bad taste, and he even couldn't wait to hear Su Yan sing this song. So Jiang Chao began to do ideological work for Su Yan. In the end, Su Yan sighed helplessly, and suddenly said, "Jiang Chao!"
"Huh?" Jiang Chao was stunned: "What's wrong?"
"You're a ...... Nasty!"
Jiang Chao was stunned and laughed.
A day later, Su Yan recorded the song, packaged it and sent it to Jiang Chao.
"I thought, since I've already sung such a cute song, how about just add a cute dance?" Su Yan sent a video.
“ki 、ki、ki yo mi~”
As the brainwashing music sounded, Su Yan jumped out of the video, her little face was flushed, she held back her laughter the whole time, dancing and singing at the same time, it was really cute.
Jiang Chao laughed.
Su Yan called again: "How is it?"
Jiang Chao smiled and said: "Post it on the Internet, I think you are not far from becoming a star!"
