Verse 56: Restlessness
The person in Xie Wanlin's eyes is naturally Shen Huan.
To make a demo, you must first make an arrangement and accompaniment, and the Asuka recording studio they contacted has this ability, and the reason why they didn't use the "Xinhe Recording Studio" that Rongsheng Records has always cooperated with is because the price of Asuka is lower than that of Xinhe.
Now it's just a demo, not a real record, Rongsheng Records is now such a bird, and after economic considerations, Lin Hexi finally chose this recording studio.
Although the price is cheaper, the Flying Bird Recording Studio can still meet Shen Huan's basic needs.
They not only have a rich electronic music library, which can produce accompaniment purely from software at a low cost, but also have their own set of high-quality musical instrument equipment, which can meet the needs of professional singers and record companies for the arrangement and accompaniment production of recorded records. It's just that after communicating with his own needs, Shen Huan found that Flying Bird Recording Studio was deficient in providing folk music.
This is also normal, after all, in the current environment of the entertainment industry, equipment such as drums, guitars, pianos and other equipment are the main elements of pop music, no one will apply folk music to pop music, there is no demand, naturally there will be no supply, so Shen Huan also deliberately went on his own trip to find the musicians he needed, that is, these uncles and aunts on the scene. You can also find the survival status of folk music, if you want to find some experienced and mature musicians, you can't find young people at all, these uncles and aunts are still carefully selected by Shen Huan in the Jianye Citizen Orchestra.
There were also a few other musicians from the Flying Bird Recording Studio on their behalf.
There were a few young people, the oldest was about thirty years old, and they were all sons in front of the uncles and aunts, and they were much better than the uncles and aunts of these folk orchestras, and they were all fashionable. On the one hand, this is because in today's music environment, they are indeed much better off than the folk musicians in these folk orchestras who are paid dead salaries, and on the other hand, it is also because young people are willing to spend money on clothing.
"Mr. Chen,"
Lin Hexi saw Chen Tanqiu coming in, and took the lead to greet him, "We are Rongsheng Records, we have already made an appointment, can we start recording now?"
Chen Tanqiu's eyes also swept back and forth several times on the uncles and aunts at the scene.
He wasn't as surprised by the appearance of these people as Xie Wanlin, because the Flying Bird Recording Studio also had rare experience in recording folk music, and he had already been mentally prepared in the previous exchanges between the two sides, but seeing these people appear in the recording studio still couldn't help but have a sense of trance of time and space.
He also thought that the company was just adding some folk music elements and making some bells and whistles to play with it, but looking at the current posture, the musical instruments are so richly prepared, is this a real game?
With so many folk music elements added, what does this song have to become?
Chen Tanqiu seemed to have seen the birth of a monster.
If it had been changed ten years ago, Chen Tanqiu would have completely ignored the other party's face and pointed out the disharmony in it, but now Chen Tanqiu is getting older, and he is no longer the hairy boy who was full of music at the beginning, he is much more sleek and sophisticated, so he was just stunned, and then he came to his senses, and nodded without changing his face, "It's okay." ”
It's the uncle who pays the money, so it's up to the other party to toss it.
So a group of people rumbled to a studio and started recording.
For this kind of company that puts a large amount of folk music into pop music and does a few blind things, Chen Tanqiu naturally looks down on the other party's professional quality, plus the other party seems to be just a singer, and there is no arrangement at all, so Chen Tanqiu thought that he was going to work part-time.
Among the so many customers received, this situation is also normal, Chen Tanqiu was originally an arranger, but what he didn't expect was that the singer on the other side was also an arranger!
"The piano is laid out first, the dulcimer is here, and the pipa is ...... here."
This made Chen Tanqiu look at the singer who was a little familiar and took out a stack of paper, which was divided into very detailed scores, and then heard the detailed explanation of the other party, which made Chen Tanqiu realize that the other party had a complete and mature arrangement plan, and was very familiar with it, and he didn't need to think about it at all. The only thing he needs to do is to assign work and implement the other party's requirements.
And under such work contact, Chen Tanqiu found that this guy who made him look familiar with his arranging skills was really good, but how could he make such a mistake?
Chen Tanqiu was really puzzled.
Doing arranging accompaniment is not like a live performance, all the instruments are on the same and played in a few minutes, in most cases, they are disassembled into one instrument after another, recorded one by one, and finally adjusted and corrected to make the tracks together, so that it is convenient to adjust at any time, so what Chen Tanqiu hears now is one-sided, and he doesn't know what the final effect will be for a while, or he still maintains his original view that "this kind of four-like thing will be a monster"- Although the melody of the dulcimer is quite good, and a solo of the erhu makes him a little surprised, but the accompaniment is not simply superimposed, but also pays attention to a chemical effect.
From this aspect, Chen Tanqiu is still not optimistic.
……
The process of recording accompaniment is very boring, one by one or two on the ground, there is a slight performance mistake in the process and you have to start again, one by one the audio tracks are constantly recorded, there is no vocal component, and naturally there is no half of what Xie Wanlin wanted to see and learn before.
Especially those uncles and aunts who play folk music seriously, it makes her feel very earthy and low, and she wants to commit a little embarrassing, so she said goodbye and left after a while, and when she left, she secretly thought in her heart: What a waste of time.
Shen Huan has been concentrating on his work.
The money for the recording is from Rongsheng Records, and the cooperation method with Flying Bird Recording Studio is also based on the song, so there is no need to worry about time, but in their current situation, it is naturally good to make it early, but the work efficiency is not transferred by human will.
Rao is Shen Huan has the complete final version of the arrangement in his mind, Rao is that he is familiar with the arrangement after two cooperation and exchanges in "The Voice of China", Rao is that he has done the most detailed work that he has been able to do, but it still took a day and a half to complete the accompaniment.
……
night
There was no one in the Flying Bird recording studio, only Chen Tanqiu was left sitting alone in the studio, wearing headphones, his eyes were stunned.
If you can take off his headphones and put them on, you will find that there is a vocal arrangement accompaniment coming from it.
It was a preliminary, finished version of the accompaniment that Rongsheng Records was going to do.
This is the effect?......
This is the only thought in Chen Tanqiu's mind now.
He had heard this accompaniment no less than ten times.
Contrary to what he had expected at the beginning, the final version of the accompaniment had a distinct style – mainly R&B, but the addition of Chinese folk music gave this R&B style a different flavor.
It's a style of music that Chen Tanqiu has never heard before, but there is no doubt that the accompaniment is great.
It's amazing.
Chinese folk music and modern Western instruments do have a chemical reaction, but it is not the bad reaction that Chen Tanqiu expected, on the contrary, the chemical reaction is very beautiful.
It's so wonderful that Chen Tanqiu's long-dead musical heart can't help but be active and restless, so restless that he can't sleep.
He couldn't help but want to hear what the final version of the song would look like under the dubbing.
