The matter of going to Cannes was quickly forgotten by Lin Hai, and the top priority was to make the 100,000 yen worth it.

"You can still do this!"

Xavier watched Lin Hai's operation carefully, and let out bursts of exclamations from time to time.

The original intention of bringing Lin Hai here was to exchange ideas, but he never expected that Lin Hai would do all the work except for sound effect collection, from ideas to technology to efficiency, Lin Hai's performance was an eye-opener for Xavier.

Instead, the two chefs, Xavier and Kawai, were reduced to side dishes - the sound effects were not easy to capture, because the material library resources were limited, most of the sound effects were simulated live with musical instruments, and they also dropped a few cups and smashed a chair for the desired effect......

Either way, it's all worth it.

"You're making a lot of money this time. Kawai took off his headphones and said to Xavier: "If young people are as good as Lin Jun, I think we will all be unemployed." ”

Xavier nodded repeatedly.

They can all use Cubase, but their proficiency can't be compared to Lin Hai.

Lin Hai himself was very dissatisfied, mainly because the software in this period was too poor in terms of performance and function, and it was not efficient at all.

Because of this, many musicians are still using hardware sequencers instead of software to make music.

However, it is better to use it than not to use it, you must know that the Shanghai Conservatory of Music at this time has not even established the "Music Engineering Department", and it will not be until next year that the first DAW (digital audio workstation) will be purchased.

On the Apple computer in front of him, not only Cubase but also Lin Hai saw the Auto-Tune icon.

If memory serves, American singer Cher first used the app on her album "Believe", released at the end of this year, and its sound effects came to be known as the "Cher Effect". (In this way, the music of a certain Canadian electric eel is indeed trendy and avant-garde enough.) ）

Lin Hai pondered in his heart, should he cut off his beard?

It's a must!

……

I was busy until six o'clock in the morning, and the work finally came to an end.

Although they stayed up all night, none of the three of them felt sleepy, and they all looked like they were upset.

Listening to the finished effect, Xavier, who was overly excited, suddenly frowned and asked, "Don't you think there is a problem?"

"It's a little bit off. Kawai said.

He was referring to the soundtrack Xavier had done earlier.

Xavier's original intention was to replace the floor tiles of the already built garden, but after the floor tiles were replaced, he found that the original building was not enough to see.

Xavier looked at Lin Hai, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do you want to tear down and rebuild?"

After saying this, even he felt embarrassed. Someone was hired to cut the pier, but they did all the work of the spoon, and now they find that the dish is wrong and needs to be redone, which is really ......

"Let's get started?" Lin Hai asked Kawai, it would not be a small project to rebuild.

"Let's go!"

After Kawai finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and began to call people.

It's not easy to overturn and redo, the more the better, not to mention that since you want to do it, let's make a big one.

……

Kawai's popularity was perfectly reflected at this moment, and when he learned that he was going to "open the black", everyone who did not have a specific arrangement that day expressed "begging to be brought".

Putting down the phone, Kawai turned around and asked Xavier, "Who is the main one?"

Xavier yelled at Lin Hainu: "He laid the foundation, of course he has the final say." ”

Kawai laughed, "I think so too. ”

Seeing that both of them said so, Lin Hai did not refuse, this was won by him with real materials, and it was hypocritical to push and concede.

Lin Hai immediately gave the first order: go to sleep.

Yes, no matter how excited you are, you have to sleep, otherwise it will be embarrassing if you can't bear it halfway through.

What's more, he didn't want to bring excitement to work.

……

slept until half past nine in the rest room of the recording studio, Lin Hai got up and washed his face, and the strong men were all in place.

There are five of Kawai's fox friends and dog friends, some of whom are engaged in instrumental music performances, and some of whom are engaged in composition and arrangement, all of whom are not famous, but their level is not bad. This is Kawai deliberately called those big names, in case he disobeys Lin Hai, wouldn't he be in a dilemma.

Several people have already listened to the background noise made by Lin Hai, and they have no objection to him as the main one.

It's easy to make noise, but it's not easy to select and manipulate noise for the purpose of artistic expression.

The people present asked, no one had Lin Hai to play.

In fact, noise has appeared as a musical element for a long time, and the most influential of them is the aforementioned John Cage. In the 40s, John Cage, who was still studying composition under Schoenberg, began to use and explore various "noises" and put forward corresponding theories, so although he was not the earliest "noise musician", he is recognized as the originator of "noise music".

At the same time, the musician formed the Velvet Underground band in the '60s, whose experimental noise work was largely based on early punk and heavy metal.

Therefore, the so-called new gadgets in the pop music world are all leftovers played by classical players.

……

In his opinion, the core of this film is "cognition", which is the mutual cognition between people - understanding or misunderstanding, different people's cognition of the world - assimilation and alienation, mutual cognition of groups and individuals - pride and prejudice, and people's perception of self - affirmation and denial.

All in all, contradictions are everywhere.

On how to rescore the soundtrack, Lin Hai is also very conflicted.

The background noise was modulated to show the hustle and bustle, glitz and indifference of Tokyo, a cosmopolitan metropolis, but there was order in it—through regular arrangement, social rules were reflected.

The bottom is society, then the top is people.

Based on this premise, Lin Hai had two options.

One is to strike a balance. The use of beautiful musical lines to modify and balance the background noise, if it sounds good, it is called with the light, and if it is difficult to say, it is called going with the flow, and it is from the perspective of all beings, including the heroine.

The other is reinforcement. The use of distorted musical lines to further intensify the noise floor and create a stronger sense of tragedy is from the perspective of the male protagonist.

For ordinary audiences, the former will sound more comfortable, and the latter will probably be regarded as mental pollution.

You can only choose one of the two directions.

Lin Hai is very embarrassed, he personally prefers the latter, but this is different from the concert, the movie has to be sold after all, and if it leads to a dismal box office, he can't afford to pay this responsibility.

Lin Hai thought about it and kicked the ball to Xavier.

Xavier was also a little worried, and asked Kawai again, and Kawai said that it was okay to catch the strong man, and he didn't need to talk about it.

After thinking about it, Xavier gritted his teeth and said, "According to the latter line of thought, I will be responsible for any problems in the future." ”

"Don't need to ask the director?"

"No, I'm sure Rimerson would have agreed with that choice. ”

Xavier has said so, so what are you thinking, go crazy!

……

"Wouldn't it be too radical?"

Xavier said the same thing for the eighteenth time, and he didn't expect Lin Hai to go crazy without leaving any room for it.

"I've relented. ”

Lin Hai said with a straight face.

He also has a temper, and the decision was made by Xavier himself, if he goes back on his word, Lin Hai would rather pick his son and leave.

Fortunately, Xavier was just worried and did not regret it.

In this way, several people were busy until more than ten o'clock in the evening, and finally it was done.

"If the soundtrack of the movie comes out, remember to give me two. ”

Kawai spread out on the couch and said to Xavier with a wink.

"You haven't heard enough?" Xavier asked.

"I can't give it to someone else?" Kawai asked rhetorically.

To be honest, even those who started it don't want to hear it again.

In the ears of ordinary people, these soundtracks are unpleasant at best, but professional musicians can see the lines of music, and the twisted and wriggling lines will really vomit after watching them for a long time.

Lin Hai rubbed his temples and said with a smile: "Why don't we listen to it again?"

The faces of several people changed suddenly, and they were not sensitive.

Xavier said: "If you follow this path, you will be called a 'noise master' in the future. ”

Lin Hai glanced at him. He doesn't want to be labeled as a "noise master", think of Helmer Schaefer, who actually died of poverty because of playing noise!

Lin Hai is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of poverty.

……

The high-intensity use of his brain for a day and a night exhausted Lin Hai physically and mentally, and he turned on his mobile phone and found that there was a string of missed calls.

The calls were all from Oshima Xiaomei, and Lin Hai called back to know that Oshima Xiaomei had gone to Yamagata Prefecture.

Oshima Xiaomei was still busy at this time, told Lin Hai, and then hung up the phone.

After a busy day and a night, everyone is not in the mood to have dinner, and just wants to go back to make up for sleep.

"I'll rush back to France tomorrow, and we'll meet again when you go to France. ”

Xavier said and gave Lin Hai a hug, and although the soundtrack was completed, it had to be brought back to France for further processing.

As for passing it back?

With the current speed of the Internet, it is estimated that it will be transmitted to the next century, no kidding.

……

Lin Hai was about to take the subway, and Kawai offered to drive him back.

Along the way, Kawai wanted to speak several times, and finally couldn't help but say: "Music like today, you try to do as little as possible in the future, this time there is Xavier in front, and he is the one who is scolded, once you are labeled as a 'noise master', it will be over in the future." ”

Lin Hai nodded.

Kawai was afraid that he would not take it seriously, so he said, "We all know the importance of experimental music, but you probably don't plan to develop into classical music...... In the field of pop music, the taste of the listener comes first, and moderate innovation and more catering to the mainstream can better survive in this industry......"

Lin Hai was silent.

Japan is a country that is good at innovation, but it is also notoriously conservative, jumping too high, not to mention being high and low, and it is not uncommon for people to be kicked into the mud.

In other words, East Asian countries are similar, and people are always very tolerant of dissent, either shelving or staying away.

Dou Wei is a good example.

Do you think he smells too strong?

Wrong!

That's because you're not qualified enough!

……

Lin Hai thanked Kawai seriously, and when he got out of the car, Kawai suddenly called out to him.

"I hope it didn't put too much pressure on you. Plus," Kawai gave a thumbs up and said, "Today's soundtrack is beautiful, sincere!"
