Chapter 13: Embarrassment

He Ran spent half an hour cleaning the living room and the room.

Then I returned to the recording studio, turned on the computer, and played an album of Tang Wanqing at random, with future plans in my mind.

Anyway, I will definitely not sign a brokerage company, and it is impossible for me to accept a five-year or even ten-year sales contract.

Then you can only do it yourself, and you will be an independent artist in the future.

When you get famous, you can set up your own studio, and maybe you can sign some other artists in the future.

After thinking about it for a while, He Ran first sorted out some of the songs he was going to take out recently, and then registered the copyright with the National Music Copyright Society.

Immediately after, He Ran prepared for the recording of the first song.

For so many classic pop music in the previous life, there are too many choices for He Ran.

But the more things to choose from, the more dizzying it is.

However, some songs will definitely not be taken out now, such as Jay Chou's "Blue and White Porcelain".

If this song is taken out now, even if he has a library of the entire Chinese music scene, he will not be able to surpass it in the future.

So this one has to be saved for the future.

But this first song must also be a classic.

After thinking about it for a while, He Ran finally finalized Lin Junjie's "Jiangnan".

He didn't procrastinate, and after deciding, he sorted out the lyrics and score of the song, and then started the first step of arrangement.

He Ran didn't plan to change the original arrangement of this song, so he just followed the original tune.

The prelude to the song begins with the sound of the wind.

Such a prelude is characterized by "concreteness", because the lyrics repeatedly mention wind, rain, and smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

Then the sound effect of the wind and rain is the most intuitive expression, with a delicate emotion of the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

Immediately, the sound effect of the faint dripping sound is integrated into the electronic synthesis of the upper register, which is very cleverly matched with the flute that follows.

With his current knowledge of music theory, he can probably understand the melody of this arrangement and the electronic instruments used.

But he studied vocal music, he can play the guitar, he can play the piano, and he can sing.

In addition, the dance is also very good, because Lin Zhiyao likes it, and he is indeed talented.

But he doesn't know much about arrangement.

At the beginning, he was really just a swollen face and a fat man, in order to make Lin Zhiyao feel that he was talented, but in fact, he really had no talent in this aspect, but it was self-defeating.

So arranging a song is really not too easy for He Ranyan now.

But fortunately, there are ready-made ones to learn for themselves, and they are carried according to the songs of their predecessors, and if they can't be rectified, it will be really too bad.

Although it will take some time in the early stage, it should be much better in the future after becoming proficient.

I closed my eyes and savored the arrangement of Jiangnan's song a few times in my mind, and then I started to work.

It took almost ten hours until about ten o'clock in the evening.

He's only a third of the way through.

According to the copy of the predecessors, he still copied so slowly, He Ran couldn't help but want to laugh.

But fortunately, he is still very satisfied with the arrangement of the first third.

That's enough, it will take you two more days at most, and then start recording.

In this way, by noon on the third day, the arrangement of the song was finally completed.

During this period, He Ran also opened a small stove here and cooked and ate by himself.

Tang Wanqing has been very busy in the past two days, and she is preparing for the concert that will start soon, and she has not come back to look for He Ran.

It's just that after she returns to the hotel after work, she will chat with He Ran before going to bed.

At noon on the third day, He Ran began to record songs, but it was not easy.

When other singers record songs, there will be at least one recording engineer by their side.

The singer sings in the studio, and the recording engineer listens through the glass in another room, and then helps with the training.

But why not, he is only one person, so he can only record it once and then listen to it himself.

And he recorded the whole song in one go every time.

I don't like to record a lyric once like some singers, if you are a careful musician and listen carefully, you can obviously feel that the level of the whole song is not right.

recorded until the evening, and He Ran didn't know how many times he had sung it.

Anyway, I picked out a version that I was very satisfied with.

This is followed by post-production, noise reduction and noise reduction.

Motivate the vocals, but this step should be done in moderation, and only need to be adjusted according to the needs of the singer, otherwise the voice will be distorted.

Limiting, balancing dry volume, and adding moderate reverberation, etc.

These things are easy to say, but if you really want to do them, it's really hard for people who are not professionals.

He Ran can only use his own music theory knowledge to shrink, put on headphones to listen attentively, and then adjust it little by little.

And just like that, another day passed.

By the evening of the fifth day, the song was finally complete.

For five days, except for eating, sleeping, and peeing, all the rest of the time was spent on this.

He Ran put on headphones and listened to it several times in a loop, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop laughing.

After enjoying it several times by himself, He Ran took off the headphones and uploaded the song to several current mainstream music platforms.

Because the newly uploaded songs also have to be reviewed by the platform staff.

He Ran didn't wait, took a bath and went to sleep.

By the afternoon of the next day, a platform's song review had finally passed.

He Ran immediately opened "Jiangnan", with 0 comments.

Embarrassed.

At this moment, the mobile phone suddenly rang, and it was a WeChat message from Lin Zhiyao: [The evening concert is about to start, where are you now?]

He Ran came back to his senses at this time, Tang Wanqing's concert is today.

He Ran didn't answer her question, but said, "Let's meet outside the venue. 】

Lin Zhiyao: [Okay. 】

He Ran stood up and stretched for a long time, then changed his clothes and left the community to go to the nearby subway station.

Tang Wanqing's concert was at the Pengcheng Olympic Sports Center.

The venue of 60,000 people, if it is a concert, can probably seat more than 40,000 people.

Because the back and sides of the stage are impossible to be human, this piece has to be vacated.

A concert of 40,000 people! I don't know when I will be able to start it.

When he arrived at the Olympic Sports Center, He Ran met Lin Zhiyao, who had made an appointment.

She wore a simple white short-sleeved shirt with light blue skinny jeans that framed her straight and slender legs just right.

Her legs are indeed beautiful, straight and long.

Standing in place, there is no gap between the legs, which is the rarest.

"Are you here by subway?" Lin Zhiyao greeted with a smile and accosted.

"Yes. ”

"Do you want to refund the ticket?" a scalper suddenly came over.

He Ran was a little confused: "You scalpers collect tickets?"

"It's not enough to sell!" The scalper was helpless: "Do you want to return it?" ”
