Jiang Chao had never been exposed to the complete production process of a pop song before, and today it was an eye-opener.

The old fish is ready to record the accompaniment.

Jiang Chao's music theory level is of course more than enough to play the keyboard, but Lao Yu still reminded: "The hand shape of the keyboard and the piano is a little different, the fingers of the piano have to stand up, but the keyboard sometimes needs to put the hand down...... You'll find out when you play it later. ”

Lao Yu talked about the rules and precautions when playing, and saw that Jiang Chao had fully understood, so he said: "I'll play a few chords, you can have a solo and I'll take a look." ”

Jiang Chao nodded, knowing that Lao Yu was planning to see what level he was at.

Lao Yu picked up the acoustic guitar and played the chords, although there were a few seven chords that seemed tall, but the rhythm was simple.

In popular music, it's best not to have complex rhythms for advanced chords, and it's best not to play complex chords for great rhythms. Just like cooking, high-end ingredients often only require simple cooking. Jiang Chao can see from here that Lao Yu is very professional.

Although it was a whim, Lao Yu wanted to see Jiang Chao's piano level.

Jiang Chao hesitated for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Yu, your piano ......"

The old fish stopped playing and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with the piano?"

"Each string is about 8 hertz lower. ”

Lao Yu was stunned, then his eyes widened, his expression became incredulous, and he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Do you have absolute pitch?"

Most musicians only have a relatively good pitch that they have been trained to do, and they can't calibrate it accurately without equipment.

Jiang Chao nodded.

Lao Yu was silent for a while, thought about it, or plugged in the tuner, and found that sure enough, every string was slightly lower than the standard tone.

Lao Yu blinked, and asked Jiang Chao while twisting the piano button slightly: "Brother Jiang Chao, how old are you?"

"School Fourteen. ”

"Less than fourteen?" the old fish looked a little surprised.

Jiang Chao looked older than his actual age, and he originally thought that Jiang Chao would be fifteen or sixteen years old.

After tuning the tone, Lao Yu sincerely admired: "Genius! You will definitely have a future in the future when you take the road of music!"

Jiang Chao smiled.

"Let's not waste time, let's try it!"

Jiang Chao nodded.

……

The music was recorded very smoothly.

Jiang Chao's talent in music is indeed not limited to classical piano.

He tried twice and mastered the essentials of playing the keyboard. With the timbre of different musical instruments, you can even add your own ideas, and even Lao Yu can't help but ask: "Little brother Jiang Chao, are you really playing keyboard for the first time?"

Jiang Chao nodded shyly.

The old fish has nothing to say.

Lao Yu was in charge of the guitar, and Jiang Chao used the keyboard to play instruments of other voices. The keyboardist is the most musical test in a band. A band that plays keyboard is often a god.

Soon, the accompaniment was successfully recorded. Lao Yu trimmed his tone a little and prepared to start recording the vocal part.

Lao Yu was about to sing, and after thinking for a while, he said: "This song is a song with a youth theme that I wrote, my voice is too vicissitudes, it might be better if a teenager sings it." ”

Jiang Chao blinked, he still didn't understand what the old fish meant.

"That'...... Why don't I try it?"

"Try it!"

Jiang Chao also hesitated: "But ...... I haven't sung much. ”

"It's okay, try. ”

Jiang Chao picked up the score, and sight-singing didn't put any pressure on him.

To sing well, skill and talent are important.

Jiang Chao belongs to the type with excellent talent but slightly lacking skills.

His timbre is clean and thorough, and the vocal cord condition is one in a million, and he can easily sing the high C that is known as the mark of the singer's soprano strength, but the only thing he lacks is breath.

And this song does not have high requirements for breath, so Jiang Chao sings very comfortably, and the effect is surprisingly good.

Jiang Chao tried it twice, and he was already very skilled and emotional, and Lao Yu said excitedly: "Awesome!

Jiang Chao was also a little excited, nodded, and went into the recording studio.

……

Not surprisingly, Jiang Chao and Lao Yu became friends.

Lao Yu is forty years old this year, and to be honest, it is enough age for Jiang Chao to be his father. But music is so magical, it can connect two interesting souls and shed the shackles of age.

In the next few days, Jiang Chao ran to Lao Yu whenever he was free, and Lao Yu was also happy to communicate with Jiang Chao.

Music is an endless ocean of creativity, and although the age gap between the two is very large, Lao Yu does not dare to say that he is better than Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao learned a lot of knowledge from Lao Yu, such as mixing, arranging, recording, and repairing...... And Lao Yu also gained a lot of inspiration and classical music knowledge from Jiang Chao.

Of course, Jiang Chao also harvested the friendship star of the old fish.

Surprisingly, the friendship that Lao Yu brought to him rose very quickly, and almost every time he discussed, he could increase a lot.

However, looking at the Friendship Medal, it is still a long way to go to fill it.

this day.

Jiang Chao went to Lao Yu with a sheet music.

"This song...... Did you really write it?"

Jiang Chao was entangled for a moment, but still nodded.

No way.

During this time, Jiang Chao had a detailed understanding of today's domestic and foreign pop music scene.

In a word: it's messed up.

First of all, some new singers who Jiang Chao had not seen before his rebirth emerged, and then some domestic and foreign singers who are or will be very famous now or in the future began to withdraw from the music scene one after another for various reasons in the past few years, and even included several singer-songwriters at the king and queen level, such as Zhou Lunlun, Lin Shuaijie, Liang Jingyi, Justin Cyber, ......

In this way, won't those popular works die before they are born?

This made Jiang Chao very sorry, and even regretted.

Or......

Make a porter of your own songs.

Although it is plagiarism of songs that will no longer be written, it is impossible to say that Jiang Chao does not have a trace of moral self-condemnation. But Jiang Chao also knew that his experience was too mysterious to explain at all.

After Jiang Chao figured this out, Jiang Chao was relieved. There is always a little dark side in people's hearts, and Jiang Chao began to bring three points of excitement in his heart.

Those classics that should have been sung are all mine!

And the song that Jiang Chao is now handing over to Lao Yu is the song "Hello Tomorrow" from milk tea and coffee, which was particularly famous before rebirth.

Lao Yu looked at the melody and lyrics, was silent for a while, and slowly spoke: "The lyrics and melody are very flavorful, I don't know how the finished product is." ”

Jiang Chao is also looking forward to it.

Lao Yu sincerely admired: "I thought that if I studied too much classics, I would be shackled by a little creativity in popular aspects, but I didn't expect you to be able to write such a ...... How to say it, such a 'down-to-earth' and excellent song. ”

Compared with the spring and white snow of classical music, this song "Hello Tomorrow" does seem to be a chinchiller.

Jiang Chao's face flushed slightly.

"Come on, let's get a sample!"

Jiang Chao nodded.

……

A few days later, on Yunle, the largest online song website in China, an online singer with the screen name "Mi Jiang" registered and then released a song "Hello Tomorrow".

Yunle's backstage administrators are reviewing the songs, mainly to see if these online singers have violated laws and regulations.

"Well, it's all some kind of nonsense. Moderating these songs is like digging for gold in...... "One admin complained to her co-worker.

"It's just, like this one, the whole process is a ghost scream, and after the review, our website will not be opened. ”

"Huh...... Listen to this!" said an administrator with some sudden excitement.

With that, the administrator turned on the stereo and put it on.

A teenager's clear voice flows slowly with the lyrics.

"When I Grow Up"

"I can only run"

"How scared I am"

"Falling ...... in the Dark"

"Huh?"
