Kang thought of Chen Minhao's album, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose. She also can't wait to surprise the world: "Let's talk about the movie "Detective" later." Wu Hongrong sent me a WeChat message this morning, the mastering of your album is done, if you are okay at night, let's go listen to it now. ”

Chen Minhao nodded, and immediately put on sunglasses and a mask and prepared to go out.

The records sold on the market are copied from the master tape, and the quality of the master tape directly affects the quality of the reproduction - the record.

Mastering, Mastring, was the seal on an album before it was mass-produced. Mastering can balance the volume and texture of the whole record.

The songs on the album are all recorded independently, which often results in some songs being loud and some being small, some songs with large ups and downs, and some songs with flat ups and downs, which require mastering engineers to unify them.

The mastering engineer will adjust the relative loudness and interval time of the songs in the album, so that the connection between the works is more natural and soft, so that the listener does not need to adjust the volume back and forth, so that every detail of the album can be exerted to the extreme.

After Chen Minhao and the two arrived at Wu Hongrong's studio, they found that the studio was closed, and no one responded when they knocked on the door.

After Kang Hui made a phone call to Wu Hongrong, he learned that they were all wearing headphones and listening to the master tape.

Chen Minhao heard the sound of a trotting from inside, and paused in front of the door for a few seconds before the door was opened.

"Chen Minhao, you're here. Luo Tianyi said with a red face, "Teacher Wu said that we should do a good job of confidentiality measures, so that we can lock the door." ”

"It's better to be careful. Chen Minhao said with a smile.

"Well, the album is almost online, so there can't be any mistakes. Luo Tian nodded, and there was a villain screaming in his heart: Looking at Chen Minhao up close, I feel that I am more handsome than in the movie, wait if I want to steal a few photos.

Chen Minhao stood at the door with a smile on his face.

Luo Tianyi reacted immediately, opened the door and said with a smile: "Come in, you are here to listen to the master tape today." ”

Chen Minhao nodded: "Well, did you listen to the master, how do you feel?"

Luo Tian said as he walked: "Perfect." You'll find out when you hear it. ”

Wu Hongrong didn't greet Chen Minhao after seeing him, and directly stuffed a pair of headphones into him.

Chen Minhao originally had high expectations for his mother, but after putting on the headphones, he realized that he was still too young.

It used to be a very beautiful and touching song, but now it sounds more shiny, fuller, and more intense.

Mastring, the mastering process is like a glue, which can have a good adhesion effect on the sound of the instrument and the vocals, and also paste each song in the album well, so that each song in the album can achieve unity in volume and sound.

"It's really great!" Chen Minhao carefully looked at the master tape, as if admiring a work of art.

After hearing Chen Minhao's affirmation, Qian Jinyun immediately took out a colored cannon from his arms, pulled it away, and immediately sprayed dozens of colored strips, ribbons, and colored paper, like a goddess scattering flowers, and the scene was spectacular.

Once the master tape is finalized, the next to-do list is to decide on the cover, find a factory to make the record, promote it, and release it.

For many of the musicians in the house, they will only be involved in the mastering process, and the rest will not be their concern.

When they first worked on the album, they were filled with doubts: Will the album really come out in September?

From the determination of the song demo in the album, the arrangement, the tape, the instrument, the dubbing, the harmony, the mixing, to today's mastering, their attitude towards Chen Minhao has changed from questioning, to recognition, and finally to the current worship.

They shook hands with Chen Minhao in turn and said goodbye, and everyone looked forward to their cooperation with Chen Minhao again.

"Mr. Chen, you must call me again next time you have an album!"

"Mr. Chen, call me next time you have a single! ”

.......

Chen Minhao looked at everyone's dark circles, bowed slightly when shaking hands, and said, "Hard work, looking forward to our next cooperation~"

After the group had a loose dinner, Wu Hongrong went to contact the record manufacturer, and Chen Minhao, Kang Hui, and Luo Tianyi began to discuss the cover of the album.

When people get an album, the music in it doesn't communicate with people right away, and people's first impression of the album is from the picture on the cover.

The album cover allows the visual and auditory senses to form a cross-universe, and the beating notes to become another language.

Some singers don't use their own photos as album covers, but Kang Hui and Luo Tianyi agree that Chen Minhao is ruining heaven by not using his own photos as covers.

Chen Minhao knew that there was no benefit to confronting this face-watching world, so he contacted Li Li directly, intending to let the poisonous photographer shoot the cover for himself.

Li Lili was happier than Chen Minhao imagined, and he agreed to talk about the style and appeal of the album the next day.

Kang Hui said to Luo Tianyi lightly: "I was once injured and brought an artist, and he had a small misunderstanding with Li Li, which led to Li Li's possible little prejudice against me. So, when Li Li comes over tomorrow, Tianyi, you will be next to Chen Minhao, pretending that you are Chen Minhao's agent. ”

Luo Tianyi was a little confused, but he still nodded happily.

Early the next morning, Li Li appeared at the door of Chen Minhao's Kyoto studio with a black peaked cap.

Chen Minhao personally went to the door to pick him up, and Li Li glanced at Chen Minhao up and down: "You don't rely on your good foundation to relax the management of your body and skin." Your appearance condition is really good, stay up less late in the future, don't be violent, I'm sorry for your parents. ”

Chen Minhao nodded, didn't say anything, and took Li Li into the company's conference room.

Luo Tianyi poured two glasses of water for Chen Minhao and Li Li, and said with a smile: "Hello, I am Chen Minhao's agent Luo Tianyi." Chen Minhao's album is called "Farewell", the style of music...."

Li Li interrupted and said, "I don't need you to introduce the album, I will listen to it myself." ”

Luo Tian couldn't pay attention for a while, and looked directly at Chen Minhao.

Chen Minhao nodded slightly at Luo Tianyi, and then said to Li Li with a smile: "No problem, but my agent just said that it is indispensable to guard against people." If you're going to listen, you have to sign a strict non-disclosure agreement. ”

Li Li looked at Luo Tianyi and snorted coldly: "With the heart of a villain, spend the belly of a gentleman." ”

Luo Tianyi looked confused: Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?

Chen Minhao explained with a smile: "My agent is also doing this for me, I hope you can understand." ”

Li Li's face looked a little better, and he paused for more than ten seconds and said, "Okay, for your sake, I'll sign it." ”

Luo Tianyi excused himself to go to the bathroom and dialed Kang Hui's phone in the company's phone room: "Sister Kang, where is the paper version of the confidentiality agreement you said yesterday for Li Li to sign?"

Kang Hui didn't react: "What I said yesterday? The confidentiality agreement that Li Li signed?"

After Luo Tianyi briefly recounted the conversation between the three of them just now, Kang Hui immediately said: "I'll find a legal counsel to make a confidentiality agreement for Li Li now, and then send it to you." ”

Luo Tianyi had already guessed the truth of the matter, was silent for more than ten seconds, and said to Kang Hui: "Sister Kang, you have worked hard. ”

Kang Hui recalled the pot he had carried over the years and said, "I'm used to it." ”
