Chapter 245: Rock Version of "Bad Boy"

I was particularly shocked.

He was even thinking that if Shen Lele was born a few years later and participated in Super Girl in five or six years, he didn't dare to say that he could win a national championship, but he would definitely be able to win a relatively high ranking.

After all, in his eyes, there are many people who have become popular in several Supergirls, but there are not many who are really powerful.

It's a pity that it's 1999.

In 1999, the Chinese society basically did not have the possibility of producing civilian idols.

The film and television stars who are now popular are basically all undergraduate students from several top film schools and opera schools.

Among the singers who are popular now, most of them are also from professional classes, or they are powerful singers who have been in the cave market for many years.

An ordinary person, whether he wants to be a film and television star or a popular singer, is actually very, very difficult.

Before the birth of Supergirl, the entertainment industry was like an ancient Dongying without imperial examinations.

In ancient Dongying, ordinary civilians had no possibility of becoming officials, and the power organs did not open a ladder for ordinary people to rise at all.

And Supergirl is the first ladder opened by the entertainment industry to ordinary people, and then more and more talent shows are opened, which is equivalent to more ladders and channels opened by the entertainment industry to ordinary people.

Since then, ordinary people have entered the entertainment industry, and there is a more feasible route.

In the era of the Internet for all, being a star couldn't be easier.

Some people have become opinion leaders sought after by countless people because they smashed a refrigerator;

Some people have become Internet celebrities with tens of millions of fans because they danced a dance;

Some people even became popular all over the Internet because they made a funny short video;

The most interesting thing is that some people moved the model of TV shopping that year did not need 5888, nor 3888, but only 998 to the Internet, and instead became a live broadcast platform with an annual income of more than 100 million.

With Shen Lele's external conditions and voice conditions, if she is 18 years old, just in 2020, then she can become a girl idol as long as she takes a few Douyins casually.

Not to mention anything else, her conditions in all aspects are indeed much stronger than the koi sister who sings and breaks the sound.

Because he experienced the era of national idols, Xu Yiyang didn't want to let Shen Lele bury his own strengths and advantages.

In the seventies and eighties, and even in the nineties, there were many singers from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia, who were appreciated by chance through an accidental competition or performance.

It is not easy for college students in this year to leave a few photos that record their youth, and it is even more difficult to leave a performance video.

However, fortunately, Xu Yiyang has video equipment in his hand, and when he comes to the performance, he can also use it for Shen Lele and Gu Sijia to record the whole process and leave a good memory.

Therefore, at noon the next day, Xu Yiyang took the time to go out and find a few recording studios.

In those years, there were not many private recording studios, and it was not easy to find one, near the Conservatory.

The owner of the recording studio is called Wang Yupeng, who used to be a student of recording art at the Conservatory of Music, and later worked as a recording engineer in a record company after graduation, and then made some money by himself, so he opened such a recording studio and worked alone.

Xu Yiyang communicated with him and put forward a few needs.

First, I hope that he will help find a band that plays rock and roll, and the musicians must definitely pass the level, and help him re-make a rock version of "Bad Boy", and then record the accompaniment;

second, find a few girls from the conservatory who are studying vocal music to come and record harmony;

Third, in his recording studio, the accompaniment and harmony are recorded.

Eight to ninety percent of the rock music in mainland China is concentrated in the north of the Yangtze River, so it is indeed difficult to find rock bands in Zhonghai.

However, there is nothing that money can't solve.

With an appearance fee of 5,000 yuan, he invited a well-known original rock band in the rock circle in Zhonghai.

The girls of the conservatory are easy to find, and two hundred dollars per person is as much as it takes.

The cost of recording is not expensive, recording with the highest specifications he has here, a song is 1,000 and a half.

Xu Yiyang didn't make a counteroffer, as long as he could record it anyway, so he made an appointment with Wang Yupeng, and the band and teacher came over in the evening, and everyone touched the song first.

In the evening, Xu Yiyang took Shen Lele to the recording studio.

The four girls from the band and the conservatory have arrived.

I heard that it was going to be a re-accompaniment for Zhang Huimei's song, and everyone was also very curious, wondering, who is the person who is willing to spend this unjust money?

Isn't it just singing? The original accompaniment was also recorded by the top musicians in Taiwan Province, so why bother to go to the near and far?

found that it was a young man who paid the money, and he also brought a beautiful woman over, and everyone suddenly realized.

It is estimated that she is a rich girl who wants to pursue a girl who likes music, so she has to spend a lot of time tossing this kind of thing.

As soon as Xu Yiyang said that he wanted to make a rock version of "Bad Boy", several band buddies were stunned, and the guitarist asked him: "Isn't the original version rock enough?"

Xu Yiyang said: "The electronic smell is too strong, and I want to add heavy metals." ”

The guitarist asked, "Brother, how much do you weigh?"

Xu Yiyang said: "The arrangement, as well as the timbre of the instrumental music, can be similar to Joan Jett's style, such as the metal tone of the guitar should be thick and heavy, and the snare drum of the drum kit, the sound cannot be Bangbang, the sound must be explosive enough." ”

The people of the band immediately took it seriously.

As soon as you open your mouth, you want joan Jett, this is a knowledgeable master!

The drummer said embarrassedly: "Dude, the kind of sound you want, the recording studio drum can't produce that effect, you have to have a set of high-end tama anyway." ”

Xu Yiyang asked, "Do you have it?"

The drummer shook his head: "I can't afford ......"

Xu Yiyang asked, "Then where is it?"

The drummer said, "I know a piano shop that can rent it, but it's expensive, it costs thousands of dollars a day." ”

"Rent, I'll pay for it. Xu Yiyang said: "Today you use this set of drums to record, tomorrow you rent that set of drums, and you re-record the drum track." ”

"Okay!" The drummer nodded without hesitation when he heard him so refreshing, and said with a smile: "I have long coveted the high-end tama of that piano store, his single snare drum, one is thousands, and the full set of drum covers is the top of someone else's set of drums, the sound is very good, many big names come to Zhonghai to perform, and they rent his set." ”

The members of the band immediately began to think seriously about the rearrangement of the song.

After discussing for a while, they had a general idea, so they said to Xu Yiyang and Shen Lele: "Why don't we try it together first, and we will also listen to the characteristics of this lady's voice, and then make minor adjustments according to her characteristics." ”

Xu Yiyang nodded and said to Shen Lele, "Then you try with them first." ”

Shen Lele answered, and the band's guitarist asked her, "Beauty, what tune can you sing this song?"

Shen Lele said: "I don't understand music theory, I don't know what the specific key is. ”

The other party asked in surprise, "You are not from the conservatory?"

"It's not. Shen Lele said: "We are from China Overseas Chinese University. ”

"I see. The other party nodded and said, "Then let me put it in layman's terms, can you sing the original tune of this song?

Shen Lele said: "No, I have no problem with the original tune, I can sing it." ”

"Really?" the other party said in surprise, "This song is not low." ”

Shen Lele nodded and said, "I feel like I can handle it when I sing." ”

The guitarist said, "Okay, then let's try the original tune first." ”

The band used a rough version of the arrangement to first reunite with Shen Lele, and Shen Lele opened his voice to sing, which immediately surprised everyone present.

Although "Bad Boy" is a pop song, it is not low-key, and the requirements for breath are not low, and there are not many singers who can sing well.

But I didn't expect that Shen Lele was not a music professional, so he could control this song so well.

This stimulated the motivation of the band members to make the song well, so several people immediately got together and began to discuss how the song should be arranged in more detail.

Wang Yupeng, the owner and recording engineer of the recording studio, asked curiously: "Dude, you are from China and Overseas, so you recorded this for the New Year's Day party of your school, right?"

Xu Yiyang asked, "Do you know about the party?"

"Yes. Wang Yupeng said with a smile: "There is a kid in your school, and he brought two people over to record a song last weekend, which was the song "For Whom" that fought against the flood last year. ”

Xu Yiyang asked wonderingly: "Isn't this song quite popular, it's being covered everywhere, can you still find an accompaniment?"

Wang Yupeng laughed and said, "This kid is not here to record accompaniment, he is here to record vocals for mixing." ”

Xu Yiyang was even more puzzled: "Recorded in advance? Is this going to be lip-synching?"

"Don't stop lip-syncing......" Wang Yupeng smiled disdainfully: "This guy, he doesn't sing well, and he wants to show his face in the school performance, so he spent money to hire a boy who studied vocal music from the Conservatory of Music to help him record a version of the male voice, but his song is a duet between men and women, and the female part was not recorded, and he wanted to sing it live, so he asked the young man from the Conservatory of Music to record the male voice part for him in advance in the accompaniment tape." ”

"So shameless?" Xu Yiyang is really convinced, the school performance is still lip-synching, the key is to find students from the Conservatory of Music to help him lip-sync, as for it?

Wang Yupeng said with a smile: "It's not just shameless, it's shameless to go home." ”

Xu Yiyang subconsciously asked, "What's this person's name?"

"Who knows. Wang Yupeng said: "I didn't ask. ”

After speaking, Wang Yupeng hurriedly said: "Dude, don't talk nonsense when you turn around, otherwise people won't be able to come to me." ”

Xu Yiyang nodded and said, "Of course." ”

By this time, the band members had already begun to discuss a prototype.

Because Xu Yiyang needed the effect of this song to be more explosive and wild, they decided to use drums and heavy metal guitar riff to do the rhythm at the beginning, to a certain extent, to imitate the hard rock style of the well-known band AC/DC.

Such a prelude is straightforward, and it can bring up the atmosphere and rhythm as soon as it comes up.

Then they began to discuss in depth, such as how many bars to play in the intro, when to enter the bass, when to enter the rhythm guitar, when Shen Lele started to sing the first sentence, how to change the rhythm of the chorus to enhance the atmosphere, how to write the harmony, how to make it, and when to enter it.

Xu Yiyang didn't understand this, so he simply left it to professional people to solve.

Soon, they had already come out with the first version.

The musicians cooperated with each other, and then called Shen Lele over to sing along.

The orchestra's instrumental configuration is two guitarists, a bassist, a keyboardist, and a drummer, and it feels like it's coming out all at once.

Xu Yiyang feels that the style of this arrangement is similar to the style of Joan Jett, which is already seven or eight points similar.

Xu Yiyang can already predict how explosive this song will be if it is placed on the stage of the party at China Overseas!
