Chapter 135: Recording a Song
Zhuo Ziyuan looked at the so-called recording studio in front of him, he had only seen it on TV before, and it was all fragments, but it could still be clearly compared, the recording studio in front of him was really simple, a small room, it was estimated that it was only forty or fifty square meters, half of it was a simple wooden stage, with microphones, drum racks, and an electronic organ on it, and the other half was the so-called recording equipment.
I don't understand these Zhuo Ziyuan, but from what I saw on TV before, it seems that the place where I sing and the place where the recording equipment is separated, and there is a big transparent glass in the middle. But these are directly mixed in a small room, which is estimated to be related to the current economic level of Dragon City, there is no decent theater, and there will be no stars to come here to hold concerts or anything, so naturally it will not attract those music lovers, and even the music lovers in this city will flow into other cities.
In these, although Zhuo Ziyuan was a little disappointed, he was not too demanding, the purpose of this trip was to see the level of Xue Mei and their band, and secondly, he wanted to record love is you and me, as for whether the effect can reach the top, he doesn't care, this place is definitely much stronger than his own tape recorder, no matter how you say it, it is also professional.
Entering the recording studio, the other three members of Xue Mei's band were already in place, exactly the same as Xue Mei's dress, they were all messy yellow hair, they really deserved to be in a band, I didn't see the boss of the recording studio, I guess I am familiar with them, I am very relieved of them.
"Xiaomei, is there anything good that you are in such a hurry to pull us over?" asked one of the yellow hairs.
"Yes, Meizi, you're not going to introduce us to someone, hi, beauties, hello, introduce yourself, my name is Su Minghao, a native of Jinling, and I am the male lead singer and guitarist of the band, and I am honored to meet you. The man who called himself Su Minghao was only the tallest among them, but he was far shorter than Zhuo Ziyuan, estimated at about 1.75 meters, and stretched out his hand as he spoke, wanting to shake hands with Tong Xue and Li Xinyuan, completely ignoring Zhuo Ziyuan.
It seems that Xue Mei didn't explain to them what she was calling everyone for.
"Slap" Xue Mei stepped forward and slapped him on the hand, "Get out, this one is Tong Xue on my surface, and the other is the sister of the great god I invited, Li Xinyuan, they are all high school students, don't even think about it." β
Xue Mei turned her head and explained to Zhuo Ziyuan and them, "Don't suggest it, this kid is this virtue, you will know it when you are familiar with it." β
"Well, it's okay, you can introduce me. Of course, Zhuo Ziyuan would not be angry with this kind of thing, everyone has a love for beauty.
"I called everyone here this time, mainly because I asked a great god to help us write a song, and the great god wanted to test the level of our band before deciding, so today, everyone cheered up and performed well. Xue Mei turned to the rest of the band and said.
"Meizi, which great god have you found, by the way, you said that this girl is the sister of the great god, where is the great god? Why didn't you bring it over for everyone to identify together, in case you were deceived. Xue Mei didn't finish speaking, he was preemptively interjected by Su Minghao, he completely ignored Zhuo Ziyuan, no way, Zhuo Ziyuan is just old in his heart, no matter how old he is, no matter how he is born from his heart, it is impossible to grow a 30-year-old mature face, so Su Minghao did not infer Zhuo Ziyuan in the direction of the great god at all, he just thought that it was a friend brought by Xue Mei.
Xue Mei went up and gave Su Minghao a kick, "Mouse, can't you listen to me first?" This is the great god I invited, Ye Zi, I believe everyone has heard his songs, ten years, wait a minute, ask for Buddha, have all heard it." β
Xue Mei smugly looked at the incredulous eyes of the three companions in front of her, giving them a little time to digest.
"No, this is the great god of leaves, shouldn't he, I see he's not as big as us, he wrote so many songs three years ago? Meizi, you won't be deceived, right?"
"Yes, Xiaomei, don't be deceived. β
"Hehe, I know you don't believe it, and I didn't believe it at first, but the great god has written a song for us, you can listen to it. Of course, Xue Mei knew the worries of her companions, so she took out the tape that Zhuo Ziyuan wrote to them because of love, found a tape recorder and started to put it on.
Gives you a CD from the past
Listen to our love at that time
Sometimes I suddenly forget that I am still in love with you
I can't sing a song like that anymore
When you hear it, you will blush and dodge
......
As the song recorded by Zhuo Ziyuan and Li Xinyuan was played, the three boys opposite had changed from distrust at the beginning to shock, as a professional cover band, of course they knew that this song had never appeared, which means that this is indeed a new song, and it was taken out by Xue Mei, it is obvious that Xue Mei can't write such a song herself, otherwise they would have been on fire a long time ago, and the rest is obvious, it is the great god that Xue Mei said, gradually, their eyes when they look at Zhuo Ziyuan have changed, it can't be called looking at the eyes of a beautiful woman, it can almost be said that they are looking at the eyes of a peerless beauty with a red fruitγ
The reason why their band has been tepid, can only stay in bars and other places, and sometimes they will sing in the open air under the overpass, is that they don't have good original songs, they usually cover those classic old songs, and now there is such a legendary composer and lyricist in front of him, how can he not be blushing.
In the whole process, Zhuo Ziyuan did not open his mouth to make any explanation, Zhuo Ziyuan's attitude towards them not believing is completely understandable, if it were him, he would also have such doubts, which is also the reason why he wants to keep a low profile, there must be a demon when things go wrong, in case someone gets to the bottom of it, a student from a rural area, what kind of experience can make him so talented?
Looking at the eyes of these people opposite, Zhuo Ziyuan knew that they believed in themselves, "Okay, looking at everyone's appearance, they should believe me, right?"
The three people on the other side nodded vigorously like chickens.
"I told Xue Mei that I can give you this song, but I want to see your skills, if you can't sing it well, then I'm sorry, I won't give you this song, you understand. β
Another collective nod.
"Then needless to say, the lyrics and tunes are here, and there is a model for me to sing, it shouldn't take long for you to become proficient, give you half an hour, you can familiarize yourself, and then I want to see the effect." β
The three of them nodded again.
Xue Mei covered her eyes when she saw it, she was really useless.
In fact, it's no wonder that the three of them are so famous, Ye Zi's songs are too famous, ordinary people may only know or only pay attention to those singers who sing, know which song is sung by whom, and will not pay attention to who writes and composes the music at all, but the insiders are completely different, the singer's singing skills and personal image can indeed add a lot of points to the song, but they pay more attention to the creators, there are a few singers who can create by themselves, and there are very few, so in the circle, the creator is a scarce resource, not to mention the legendary creator like Zhuo Ziyuan.
Almost every song of Zhuo Ziyuan can be sung for a long time, never get tired of listening to it, play it in a loop, and the sales of almost every song have reached the level of platinum records, and the reason why it is legendary is because of his mystery, everyone in the circle knows that there is such a big master, but no one in the circle can find him, and the only one who can contact Zhuo Ziyuan is Jin Baoli's Xu Xuehua, which also makes Xu Xuehua a scarce resource of Jin Baoli, and she also did not disclose Zhuo Ziyuan's information to anyone, firstly because Zhuo Ziyuan asked for secrecy, and secondly, because only in this way can others not grab Zhuo Ziyuan's scarce resourceγ Huana and Gon Shi also knew who Ye Zi was, but they didn't have Zhuo Ziyuan's practice method, and they were equally reluctant to reveal it to others, so that others would have another chance to contact Zhuo Ziyuan.
With such a mysterious big man in front of his eyes, the three members of the band were of course excited, and this was their band's chance to take off.
In less than half an hour, about twenty minutes, Xue Mei and the others were ready, and they also simply prepared the arrangement accompaniment, Xue Mei was the female lead, Su Minghao was the male lead, and the other two had a guitar and an electronic piano.
Everyone stood in their positions, adjusted it briefly, and began to play, because there was a model of Zhuo Ziyuan, and they also sang according to Zhuo Ziyuan's style.
After singing, Zhuo Ziyuan felt that it was not bad, compared with the version he had heard before, there was less of the princess's ethereal and skillful, but there was more of the girl's innocence and sweetness, Zhuo Ziyuan felt that this voice was more suitable for the artistic conception of this song, and it could better reflect the tenderness and sweetness between young men and women, but some of the high notes were not sung, as for the male voice, it lacked the low and vicissitudes of mature men, and some of them were hoarse.
Zhuo Ziyuan explained their personal shortcomings, and made some adjustments to the accompaniment, adding some percussion sound to the guitar to express the vicissitudes of life, and the rhythm should be slightly slower.
After singing for the second time, Zhuo Ziyuan felt that it was okay, Xue Mei and Su Minghao both had very good voices, although they didn't have too many skills, but they had the basic skills of singing, but the accompaniment was still a little unsatisfactory.
After three more adjustments, Zhuo Ziyuan felt completely OK.
Clapping his hands, Zhuo Ziyuan attracted everyone's attention, "OK, I think your combination is not bad, this song will be handed over to you." β
"Yay" and "Bang", after the three boys heard Zhuo Ziyuan's words, they celebrated each other a few times.
"However, songwriters, you can write whatever you want, don't write my name, I don't want to attract attention. β
"How can this be done, great god, this is absolutely not possible. β
"yes, that's not going to work, we're not going to steal your lyrics. β
After listening to what Zhuo Ziyuan said, everyone expressed their objections, and even Li Xinyuan looked at Zhuo Ziyuan with a puzzled expression.
"Okay, that's the case, in the past few years, I've written fewer and fewer songs, Jin Baoli has found me several times, and I have pushed it off with my studies as the priority, if they know that I create for you, it is estimated that it will be another trouble, rest assured, since this song is for you, you can use it with confidence." β
"Okay, since Zhuo Ziyuan said so, you can do what he said, such a big good thing, hit your heads, it's too late to be happy, it's better for you to push back. Seeing that Xue Mei still wanted to bite something, Tong Xue stopped in front of her and said, she still knows Zhuo Ziyuan very well, once something is decided, it is difficult to change it.
"Well, then do as the great god says. Xue Mei thought about it and said.
Su Minghao hurriedly pulled Xue Mei, turned his head and said to Zhuo Ziyuan, "Great God, I don't think this is good, let's use your name, we still think that the Great God can write a few more songs for us in the future, if we all use our names, it is really inappropriate." β
"Hehe, needless to say, just use your names, and as for the future, I'll talk about it later. I have one more thing that I want you to help me with, and I should be paid for this song. "It's beautiful to think, and I want a song.
"The great god commanded that we must go all out to do our best to do your thing, and we will not give up. Su Minghao patted his chest and said.
"It's not a big deal, I don't need you to go to the soup, it's just that I still have a song, I sing with Yuan'er, you accompany it, and record it. Zhuo Ziyuan said that he took out the lyrics and music manuscript of 'Love is You and Me', and also took out the version that he and Li Xinyuan sang at home.
Hearing Zhuo Ziyuan say that they wanted to record a song, of course they were duty-bound, and soon everyone was ready, and they were familiar with the tune, under the guidance of Zhuo Ziyuan, an electronic piano player, a drummer, Zhuo Ziyuan had his own guitar, and it took nearly an hour to add Su Minghao's bass, Zhuo Ziyuan and them adjusted the accompaniment while singing a cappella again, and also knew that Li Xinyuan's high and low notes alternated.
The last time she officially recorded the song, she still knew how to record the song, so she was in charge of recording, and after a simple adjustment of the mood, Zhuo Ziyuan and Li Xinyuan stood on the stage in the center, as Zhuo Ziyuan waved his hand and instructed, the music slowly sounded, and Li Xinyuan also began to sing, her voice was clear and sweet, Zhuo Ziyuan did not let Li Xinyuan sing sadness, but let her sing joy.
Love is the life of you and me, intertwined with hearts,
Love is the unchanging promise of you and me in the midst of trouble,
Love is your hand, caressing my wounds,
Love is with my heart, listening to your sorrows and joys;
Then there is Zhuo Ziyuan's part, which is relatively low and vicissitudes, forming a strong contrast in sound, and the last treble is hoisted.
Love is the life of you and me, intertwined with hearts,
Love is the unchanging promise of you and me in the midst of trouble,
Love is your hand, caressing my wounds,
Love is with my heart, listening to your sorrows and joys;
I have come to this world, and I am left to the whirlpool of storms
......
After singing, Zhuo Ziyuan listened to the recorded song again, and felt very good, whether it was Zhuo Ziyuan or Li Xinyuan, the place for the treble was in place, and he did hear Li Xinyuan's joy from the singing.
Li Xinyuan felt that this was the best time she sang in the past few days, according to Zhuo Ziyuan's requirements, she let go of her sadness, let go of her burden, and when she sang, she thought about Zhuo Ziyuan's kindness to her, care and care for her, she felt that it would be difficult to sing so well in the future.
Tong Xue also heard Li Xinyuan's joy, and at the same time she also heard Zhuo Ziyuan's vicissitudes and thoughts, she didn't understand how Zhuo Ziyuan's feelings could be so rich, and after such a long period of contact, she didn't hear anything big about Zhuo Ziyuan's family, all she heard was that Zhuo Ziyuan's family was originally living an ordinary life.
Xue Mei seemed to hear the process of two people's struggle and struggle in a strange city, and she thought of the creative idea she had told Zhuo Ziyuan before, could this be the song he originally wanted to help us create, but in the past few days, I have created two songs in a row, how rebellious this is.
Su Minghao and the others heard the gap, Zhuo Ziyuan's singing skills are better than Su Minghao's lead singer, and they are just playing......
After listening, Xue Mei and the four of them admired the five-body body to the ground, I only heard that Ye Zi was a person, very good, very good, but I didn't have much deep feeling, but now it's different, real contact, I know how big the gap is, the age is much younger than them, not to mention that when I first created it, I was smaller, the song was better than them, and the arrangement was smoother than them, if this is not a genius, then there is no genius.
At this point, the four of them have completely convinced Zhuo Ziyuan, and if they don't accept it, they really responded to a sentence, people are more popular than people.
