Chapter 908: Sure enough, it's the most suitable
After Yin Xi went back to her room and listened to the song Xiao Yao sent her, she immediately liked it. In terms of lyrics, Yin Xi also feels that this song is very suitable for the plot of a certain part of the TV series, and it just shows some of the heroine's mood. Even if Xiao Yao didn't designate her to sing this song, she was very willing to sing it.
In the next two days, Yin Xi spent all her time outside filming listening to songs and learning songs, and she no longer pestered Xiao Yao to tell her about dramas. Only when she didn't have Xiao Yao's role, Yin Xi didn't pull Xiao Yao to go to the set with her anymore.
Two days later, in the afternoon, Xiao Yao and Yin Xi did not have a shooting task, so Xiao Yao came to Yin Xi to go to the recording studio.
Xiao Yao's recording studio is in Yin Xi's studio, and the creative park is not far from the hotel where the crew stays and the filming set, but it is not very close, it is about half an hour by car, and it is an hour back and forth.
Judging from the time spent on this road, if there is no need to film in the afternoon and evening, Xiao Yao feels that it is no problem to work in the studio for a few hours, if he just does not film at night, the time he can stay in the studio is too little, and it is not worth the trip. There is no night scene in the crew today, and there is no scene for two people in the afternoon, Xiao Yao feels that he can still do something in the recording studio.
"Do you really want to go into the studio to record today?" I don't think I learned it, so I shouldn't be able to record it, right?" Yin Xi said with some hesitation, "Why don't you give me a few more days?"
In just two days, there was still filming in the middle, Yin Xi just used the time outside of filming to familiarize herself with the song and memorize the lyrics, if she really wanted to start recording, Yin Xi didn't have any confidence at all, so she asked Xiao Yao to teach her to sing before recording.
"I didn't say that I had to record this song in half a day today!" Xiao Yao said, "We can go to the studio to practice singing." Anyway, it's our own recording studio, and it doesn't cost money. We go to the studio, we have good equipment, you can hear how you sing, and I can teach you better, so you can learn faster. You don't think we're practicing in a hotel for half a day, do you?"
In terms of singing, Xiao Yao, a professional music producer, can definitely be Yin Xi's teacher. However, in the crew, Yin Xi is not burdensome to ask Xiao Yao to talk to her about the drama, but to say that letting Xiao Yao teach her to sing in front of so many people in the crew, in addition to being inappropriate, Yin Xi will still feel a little embarrassed, whether it is on the set of filming or the hotel where she is resting.
In the two scenes filmed by the crew yesterday morning, there was Yin Xi but not Xiao Yao, so Yin Xi did not ask Xiao Yao to go to the set, and asked Xiao Yao to guide her to sing this song during the break.
Although Yin Xi and Xiao Yao have a very good relationship between sisters and brothers, they are not related brothers and sisters after all. In the crew, some places that should be avoided will still be avoided. Some time ago, after the two didn't have to film or finish work at night, when Xiao Yao told Yin Xi about the play, he was not in anyone's room, but in the small restaurant assigned to the crew in the hotel. Although it is isolated from the hotel's regular guests, people from the crew will occasionally pass by.
In this place where only the people in the crew are public areas, Yin Xi asked Xiao Yao to tell her that it was okay to play the play, but he didn't want the crew to hear her learn to sing with Xiao Yao. The crew only had one night scene last night, and it was relatively early to come back from work. If it was according to the state some time ago, Yin Xi would have asked Xiao Yao to go to the small restaurant to match the next day's play, but if it was changed to singing, Yin Xi would not have looked for Xiao Yao.
Regarding Yin Xi's mentality, Xiao Yao also guessed something. For two days, there was still filming in the middle, and Xiao Yao didn't think that Yin Xi had reached the level of direct recording, so today's task was actually to take Yin Xi to the recording studio to learn how to sing first.
Hearing Xiao Yao say this, Yin Xi nodded and agreed.
After Yin Xi agreed to come down, Xiao Yao went to the director Chen Jun to explain, and then drove Yin Xi and his assistant to the studio.
After Pei Minyi resigned and left, the studio assigned Xiao Yao another assistant. This assistant has not been with Xiao Yao for a long time, Xiao Yao thought that someone was responsible for the makeup and costumes in the crew, including eating and everything, so he did not bring an assistant when he entered the group to film. Yin Xi brought an assistant when she joined the group, but she was not a particularly squeamish person, so she only brought a life assistant. A total of three people, one car is enough.
Xiao Yao doesn't like to be around too many people, so in terms of finding an assistant, he tends to look for someone who can wear multiple hats. Correspondingly, Xiao Yao was also willing to help and promote the assistants around him, so his assistants also changed several times.
His first assistant was still arranged by his mother Ye Jiaying, and was later developed into a part-time agent by Xiao Yao, and then became a professional agent, not only his agent, but also other artists under him. His second assistant, Pei Minyi, was a part-time makeup artist when he came, and later became a professional stylist, and finally went out to open his own styling studio.
The studio's new assistant to Xiao Yao this year is also a girl named Ye Qingyu. Ye Qingyu is not a professional makeup artist and can't help Xiao Yao with makeup part-time, but he is very interested in music and has certain skills.
The assistant is not a student, Xiao Yao has not written songs for her, nor has he taken the initiative to teach her anything, but when Ye Qingyu asks Xiao Yao some professional questions about music in his spare time, Xiao Yao will also give her guidance and answers. When recording, Xiao Yao would also ask Ye Qingyu to help in the recording studio. In addition to letting her feel the process of recording by herself, she will also point out the use of some recording equipment in the recording studio. When Xiao Yao recorded those four songs before the crew started filming, he asked Ye Qingyu to help in the recording studio.
Xiao Yao didn't bring Ye Qingyu into the group when he was filming, because he didn't think it was necessary, but this time when he went to the recording studio, there was something she could help with, so he called her too.
Xiao Yao's assistant belongs to the employees of Xiao Yao's studio, and he also has his own workstation in the studio. Xiao Yao didn't bring Ye Qingyu into the group when she was filming, she usually went to work in the studio and helped other people in the studio do other things. Xiao Yao's studio and Yin Xi's studio are in the same creative park, not far from each other, Xiao Yao made a phone call to inform her, and it was also very convenient for her to go over.
As Xiao Yao's personal assistant, Ye Qingyu also has the key to the recording studio in Yin Xi's studio. When Xiao Yao and Yin Xi arrived, Ye Qingyu was already waiting for them in the recording studio.
After entering the recording studio, Xiao Yao asked Yin Xi to go to the recording studio and sing the whole song into the microphone first. Then, according to Yin Xi's singing, he pointed out Yin Xi's problems, instructed her how to improve and adjust, and taught her some singing skills by the way.
pointed out the problems, taught the skills, and the next thing was mainly for Yin Xi to carry out targeted exercises. In the process of this practice, Xiao Yao didn't need to stare at it all the time, and the effect might not be good if he kept staring, so Yin Xi wrote down everything Xiao Yao said and went to the vocal practice room in the recording studio to practice by himself.
When encountering something that is not smooth or incomprehensible, Yin Xi will also run to the recording studio to find Xiao Yao for further guidance, and most of the rest of the time, Xiao Yao is busy in the recording studio.
Some time ago, when he was filming in the crew, Xiao Yao didn't come to the recording studio at all, and the song sample and accompaniment for Yin Xi were all made with software on the computer. At that time, Xiao Yao did this to let Yin Xi know what the melody and overall appearance of the song were like, and it was enough to make Yin Xi familiar with the song, but if it was used as the dubbing of the official version, Xiao Yao felt that it was still almost meaningful. When Yin Xi went to practice singing in the practice room, Xiao Yao played those soundtrack instruments in the recording room and re-recorded the accompaniment of the songs.
Yin Xi's assistant followed Yin Xi to the recording studio. With the relationship between Yin Xi and Xiao Yao, Yin Xi's assistant will not take care of Yin Xi alone, and will definitely meet Xiao Yao's requirements by the way. Yin Xi's assistant is a life assistant, and he handed over to Yin Xi's assistant to Zhang Luo to buy water, snacks and even dinner, and Xiao Yao's assistant Ye Qingyu specially helped Xiao Yao in the recording studio.
With Ye Qingyu here, Xiao Yao was also a little more relaxed when he recorded the accompaniment. Although Xiao Yao can only make a decision after listening to the recorded audio track, Xiao Yao still has to run at both ends, but at least Xiao Yao can command Ye Qingyu to operate the equipment in the recording studio, control the start and end of the recording, and don't need to leave a long blank space before and after the audio track and then cut it by himself, and after recording one, there is no need to run so quickly in order to make the back blank less.
The arrangement of the song was done before, and the soundtrack accompaniment was also done once with music software, Xiao Yao only re-recorded it with the instrument, which was relatively simple. Although Yin Xi would occasionally come in to ask Xiao Yao to guide him on some practice problems, Xiao Yao still took the opportunity to come to the recording studio this time to do the accompaniment again.
Xiao Yao's accompaniment was done, but the recording of the vocals could not start today. Yin Xi is not a professional singer, and half a day of targeted practice still can't make Yin Xi reach the point where he can start recording, but Xiao Yao said that he didn't plan to record this song in most of the day, so the two of them are not in a hurry.
There was no night scene in the crew tonight, and the two were not in a hurry to rush back to the crew. After dinner in the studio, the two stayed for a while before returning in the evening. However, both of them are going to film tomorrow morning, so the two of them didn't stay too late. At about nine o'clock in the evening, Xiao Yao and Yin Xi left the recording studio and returned to the hotel where the crew stayed.
Xiao Yao and Yin Xi came to the studio at least two of the three time periods in the morning, afternoon, and evening without two scenes of two people at the same time, which means that the next time the two come to the studio again, it will be a few days later, so before going back, Xiao Yao asked Yin Xi to enter the recording room to sing this song again, and recorded it, gave some guidance on the problems of this singing, and asked her to practice in a targeted manner during this time.
When Xiao Yao came, there were three people, and when he went back, there were three people, and he didn't take Ye Qingyu back to the crew. During this time, Ye Qingyu still went back to the studio to work. However, because he accompanied Xiao Yao to record until more than nine o'clock in the evening, which was considered overtime, Xiao Yao informed that Ye Qingyu still gave Ye Qingyu a half-day off, so that she could rest at home for half a day tomorrow.
It was almost a week later that Xiao Yao and Yin Xi had time to come to the studio again, but this time, it was not just him, Yin Xi and the two assistants who came.
At the beginning of the year, when Xiao Yao participated in the music variety show "The Voice of Dreams" on Zhedong Satellite TV, he invited Rong Jun and Ling Chengjie to write OST songs for this drama, and also invited Lian Yiling and Liang Xueying to sing the OST they wrote for this TV series, and also promised Rong Jun and Ling Chengjie to come to the crew to play cameo roles.
After the show ended, these things were officially finalized, and Xiao Yao also discussed with Chen Jun and arranged cameo roles for Rong Jun and Ling Chengjie.
In the more than half a month since the crew started filming, the filming progress has been quite good. According to the crew's original shooting plan, the scene of Rong Jun's cameo role was filmed in the past week, and the crew notified Rong Jun in advance, and Rong Jun also came to the crew on time to play the cameo role.
At that time, after the recording of the show, Xiao Yao sent invitations to the four mentors at the same time, and they also agreed together, so they both knew that there was such a thing. The four of them stayed together for a few months when they recorded that variety show, and their relationship was already very good. The four of them formed a group and kept in touch with each other in private. After Rong Jun received the notice from the crew, he talked about it in a small group of four people, and the other three also knew.
At present, the recording of this season of the show has ended, and the four of them have no announcement activities in the near future, and the schedule is relatively empty. After learning that Rong Jun was going to come to the crew to make a cameo, the four of them made an appointment to come to the crew together. Rong Jun came to the crew to make a cameo appearance as agreed, and the other three came to visit the class.
These four have to participate in the OST songs of this show, and they are also very concerned about the filming progress and quality of this drama. This time, I also want to see how this drama is filmed by the way.
The four senior singers came to the crew the day before the crew filmed the scene where Rong Jun made a cameo appearance. Among the four, only Rong Jun is from Shencheng, but Rong Jun happens to be acting tomorrow, so all four of them live in the crew where the crew stays. On the night when the four of them arrived, Xiao Yao also specially took the four of them to the director Chen Jun's room, chatted with the director and them, and finally let them watch some of the materials filmed by the crew before.
Because Rong Jun and Ling Chengjie were asked to write OST songs for the TV series, Xiao Yao sent the script of the show to the two. After seeking Xiao Yao's consent, the two also showed the script to Lian Yiling and Liang Xueying, so these four people have read the script and know the plot. Just looking at the script, the four of them felt that it was a good story, and after reading some of the materials filmed in the early stage, the four of them felt quite satisfied.
Even Yiling and Liang Xueying promised to help Xiao Yao sing the OST songs written for this drama, and after reading the materials and thinking it was good, they naturally asked how the two OST songs Xiao Yao wrote for them were good, and they felt a little impatient.
Xiao Yao had already thought about the song for the two, but now in this situation, he didn't have time to record it for the two, so as not to think of a more suitable one in the future, Xiao Yao said that he hadn't written it yet.
Xiao Yao is now filming in the crew, and it is normal that he has no heart to write songs. Liang Xueying and Lian Yiling didn't plan to ask, but Xiao Yao was afraid of the two, especially Lian Yiling thought that she didn't take the matter of writing songs to heart, so she said that she had already written a song, but she didn't feel that it was suitable for the two of them, so she gave the heroine Yin Xi to sing.
Hearing that Xiao Yao had written a poem, of course the four of them were very interested, and they all said that they wanted to listen to it first. I heard that Xiao Yao took Yin Xi to the recording studio to record a song a few days later when the two of them were not filming tasks, and the four of them, who had a very empty schedule, immediately said that they wanted to watch together.
Xiao Yao is nothing unpopular when he records a song for Yin Xi, and these four are all seniors in the music industry, so maybe they can help with some opinions or something. Since the four of them offered to go, Xiao Yao naturally would not refuse.
After Xiao Yao's guidance in the recording studio last time and the targeted practice during this time, Yin Xi's performance in that song is already very good.
The second time he went to the recording studio, Yin Xi went into the recording room to try out a few times, Xiao Yao picked out a few small flaws, and after pointing out Yin Xi, he felt that he could do a formal recording.
The four singers came to the recording studio to watch, and Xiao Yao naturally wouldn't let the four of them just watch like this. When Yin Xi went to the recording studio to audition, Xiao Yao, who was sitting in front of the console, also took out two pairs of headphones and plugged them into the equipment, so that the four singers could also listen to Yin Xi's audition together, help find faults and give opinions.
When Yin Xi auditioned, none of the four expressed any opinions. Because Xiao Yao first pointed out Yin Xi's fault, and then asked them what their opinions were. Xiao Yao basically finished talking about Yin Xi's problems, and the four of them had nothing to add.
When Yin Xi auditioned, none of the four senior singers expressed any opinions, but after Yin Xi's audition, Liang Xueying and Lian Yiling whispered.
"After listening to the accompaniment and sample of this song before, I still think that it is okay for the two of us to sing this song, and I think that a non-professional singer like Yin Xi must not sing as well as the two of us. Looking at Yin Xi in the recording room, Lian Yiling let go of the earphones pressed on her ear, and said to Liang Xueying, who shared a pair of headphones with her, "But after listening to what Yin Xi sang just now, I found that this song is indeed more suitable for her to sing than the two of us!"
"Actually, I originally thought that this song should not be sung by Yin Xi. Liang Xueying nodded, "But I didn't think about singing skills, and I didn't think that it should be sung for the two of us, but from the lyrics, I feel that this song should be sung by a younger female singer, such as Fan Linxuan and Gong Chen under Xiao Yao's parents' studio, and maybe even Li Shiyu who participated in our show may be better." No matter how Yin Xi's singing skills are, in terms of age, I don't feel very suitable. ”
"However, after listening to Yin Xi's singing, I found that she was really suitable for singing. Liang Xueying continued, "Yin Xi is not a professional singer, he doesn't have much skills, and he sings with a young feeling." And precisely because she is actually not young, and there is a certain sense of exhaustion and vicissitudes in her voice, she can express the theme of this song to the extreme. ”
"If you talk about this song alone, I don't dare to say that there is no one more suitable to sing this song than Yin Xi. Liang Xueying also turned her head to look at Yin Xi in the recording room, "But considering that this song is an episode of a TV series, and Yin Xi is the heroine of this drama, so on the whole, I think Yin Xi is really the most suitable person to sing this song." ”
Before coming to the recording studio, the four of them had all listened to Xiao Yao's song samples and accompaniment to Yin Xi. However, Rong Jun and Ling Chengjie, the two male singers, want to write and sing their own songs, and they purely appreciate this song, and they don't think much about the two female singers who want to sing the songs written by Xiao Yao.
After listening to the discussion of the two female singers, the two male singers thought about it and couldn't help nodding.
"Well, Yin Xi is indeed the most suitable!" Lian Yiling thought for a while and nodded, "Xiao Yao is amazing!
"Of course!" Xiao Yao looked back and smiled, "As a professional music producer and songwriter, I always have the ability to choose singers for the songs I write, right?
