Chapter 65: A Little Accident
It should be said that fame is really a good thing. Point Novel,
Because of fame, even arrogant Wang Jingxue took the initiative to ask Li Qian, hoping to get his works, because of fame, Li Qian said that he was willing to write songs for Wuxing Wusu and supervise the production of a new album, Hua Song immediately agreed that Li Baolong directly led the team south, also because of fame, although Li Qian is only a seventeen-year-old boy, but since he came into contact with Hua Songs, whether it is with the producer Li Baolong, or the other girls of the Five Elements, the cooperation with each other can be called smooth and pleasant, just five songsγ
However, it is not a simple matter for fame to be transformed into more benefits in reality, and continue to exchange for greater fame, or even to convert these fame into solid status. In this regard, Li Qian, who had taken root in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, had a clear understanding early and sufficient psychological preparation.
People walk in the rivers and lakes, they want to eat, drink, wear, live, and raise women and children in the future, how can anyone who doesn't want to make money? People are mixed in circles, and they are all peers when they look up and down, and who doesn't want people to respect them?
With Li Qian's current situation and his own mentality, he will definitely not think about being a tycoon or a tycoon for the time being, but he must earn the money he should earn, the fame he deserves, and the status he should get in his hands to talk about ideals, dreams, hobbies, and a thousand things, art and money and fame are not opposites, they will only complement each other.
And now, with the skyrocketing fame in the circle brought about by Liao Liao's five songs directly rushing to the on-demand list, Li Qian needs. It is the so-called status of the rivers and lakes in the first stage of establishing itself, the songwriter and the gold medal producer!
A combination of the five elements. It's the first shot he wants to fire!
So. There is no room for error.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Sunday, September 5th, afternoon.
Jinan Mansion Laodou Records, A1 Recording Studio.
Before half past one, Li Qian came here on time, and when he pushed the door in, including the musicians and recording engineers invited by Lao Dou Records, including the sisters of Wuxing Wusu. Even their agent Sister Wu, producer Li Baolong, and the boss of Lao Dou Records, Fu Zhenbang, were all present, and even the recording engineer who came from Shuntianfu had already arranged the positions for the musicians and instruments.
The appointed time was two o'clock, of course Li Qian couldn't be considered late, he could only say that these people in the house took it too seriously.
Entering the door, Li Qian smiled as always, folded his hands and said hello to people he didn't know, no matter which circle he lived in, it was definitely good for young people to know how to be polite, and it was not strange to be polite.
Seeing the main man coming, everyone also greeted each other. Fu Zhenbang even took Li Qian over one by one and introduced several musicians invited today one by one.
The arrangement of the two songs, "Sister Sister Stand Up" and "Let's Swing the Sculls". Li Qian single-handedly handled, the former's arrangement emphasizes the rhythm with a naughty taste, it is a very youthful arrangement, and the original arrangement in his mind can probably be seven or eight percent similar, and the latter's arrangement, is mainly to highlight the feeling of natural chorus, and even according to Li Qian's arrangement, the whole song is all chorus, and there is no personal solo sentence, so the arrangement is relatively light, in addition to the rhythm, the main piano and guitar.
It can be said that although this is almost the final version of the arrangement, it is relatively simple, and there are only a few instruments needed.
Among them, Li Qian cares most about the bass.
In his previous life, when he listened to "Sister and Sister Stand Up", he was deeply impressed by the bass at the beginning of the song's arrangement, so when it was his turn to do the arrangement, he did not hesitate to keep it.
It's just that in his heart, he asked for this bass to come extremely well, so he specially greeted Li Jinlong and Fu Zhenbang a few days ago, and asked them to find a bass player with a higher level.
For no other reason, bass is inherently cool!
And what Li Qian wants is a cool word!
Of course, people who are engaged in music know that a band must have at least one bassist, a drummer, a guitar and a lead singer, which is the basic configuration, but now that the fever of rock has subsided for several years, the guitar has a huge market because of its ease of learning and fun, and the bass is relatively cold, at least for those who don't pay much attention to music and instruments, they can't figure out what bass is, and they don't understand which tone in a song is bass. And such a person will definitely account for the majority of fans who will like the song "Sister Sister Stand Up"!
So, let's start with a bass solo that will make them think the song is very cool! and then quickly cut into a bright and jumpy rhythm with catchy lyrics...... That's the way to catch people directly!
And in fact, in the arrangement, I looked back and thought about the original arrangement, and then considering the overall style and rhythm of this song, Li Qian also had to admit that the addition of bass to the prelude of this song is very compatible and fits very well!
Therefore, it is based on this consideration that when Fu Zhenbang introduced the bass player, Li Qian touched his fist with him, and at the same time deliberately patted his arm, and said with a smile, "Brother Da Bing, you must get up later!"
The other party's name is Da Bing, it is said that he is the number one bass player in the music circle of Jinan Prefecture, and he seems to be very bullish and confident, with long hair, sunglasses, and a toothpick in his mouth while bumping fists with Li Qian, and he also looked like he ignored Li Qian when he heard him speak.
But Li Qian didn't care.
Engaged in music, especially rock and roll, he has seen a lot of people with this posture.
As long as you live it out later, then hello, I'm good, everyone, anyway, the whole song needs his two basses at the beginning and the end, as long as you get up, it's enough.
When Li Qian got to know everyone, Li Jinlong said, "Since everyone arrived early, let's ...... Start early? Record "Sister Sister Stand Up" first?"
Li Qian had no opinion, nodded, and then said, "Then start early." Ladies and gentlemen, everyone got the scores for the two songs yesterday. I'm sure I've seen it all. But let's go twice first, let's start with "Sister Sister Stand Up", let's find the feeling first, run in and run-in. β
Then, he first looked at the bassist Da Bing with a smile, and then deliberately nodded, "Brother Da Bing, your solo must be." People should be hooked on the sound and the instrument as soon as they hear it!"
Da Bing tilted his head obliquely, nodded casually, and reluctantly said, "Dude, expert!"
That means, you don't need to teach!
Li Qian smiled, didn't say anything, just turned his head and told a few Wuxing Wusu sisters to come, he asked them not to sing first, first follow the rhythm to find a feeling, and the band will run in later. They went in again.
The sisters nodded in understanding, and Li Qian clapped her hands. "Everyone, hard work, now let's go through it first!OK, everyone, "Sister Sister Stand Up", get ready to ...... goοΌβ
A low bass song rose in response, instantly causing everyone in the studio to subconsciously squint.
Anyone who has listened to the scene knows that as soon as the bass's voice came out, it was really loud and shocking.
But...... Li Qian frowned.
He played, very, but he dragged a few notes!
But this was only the first rehearsal, Li Qian just took it to heart, and then paid attention to listening to the musicians behind.
The first row, must have stumbled, either the drum is connected early, or the keyboard is a little hesitant, although the difference is a millimeter, but even ordinary people, a little attention, can hear a little unnatural.
But it doesn't matter, at least Li Qian confirmed that the strength of the musicians brought by Lao Dou Records is above the level, and at least it is no problem to record a sample.
So when the song ended with bass, Li Qian smiled and said, "It's great." Everybody are amazing!"
Then, he started from the keyboard, and pointed out some of the problems he heard except for the run-in one by one, until the end, before talking about the bass, "Brother Da Bing, your bass is really enough, but the last two tones, don't delay, ok?"
Da Bing frowned when he heard this, poured two toothpicks as usual, and said, "What do you want?
Li Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said with a smile: "If you don't drag the sound, you can't do it?"
Da Bing spread his hands.
To tell the truth, although Li Qian has already risen in size, he is only seventeen years old after all, no matter how much he shaves, his face is still too tender, and although the musicians invited by Lao Dou Records are not big names, they are all experienced and well-informed, and they are all famous figures in the local music circle.
But fortunately, he had already been mentally prepared for this, so in the face of Da Bing's attitude, he only smiled and said: "Find out how you feel, I believe you are fine, Boss Fu told me that you are the first bass in Jinan Mansion!"
Fu Zhenbang has been in this circle for many years, and he is a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing, but at this time, because he was just rehearsing, he didn't leave in a hurry, so he naturally spoke for the first time: "Of course, this is not blowing, just big ice, not to mention Jinan Mansion, just in the province, that is also the first bass!
Da Bing nodded reluctantly.
So, this is considered the mediation is over, and the second rehearsal begins.
This time, the bass really didn't drag the sound, but the result was really as Da Bing said, that cool feeling, feeling, all of a sudden, it was no problem to follow the step-by-step order, this time he definitely didn't go out of the grid, but he didn't have the flavor that Li Qian wanted at all.
Li Qian couldn't help frowning again.
Of course, after the second rehearsal, the band immediately seemed to be much smoother than the first.
Only this bass.
It's all in front and back, it's not brilliant, in Li Qian's heart, the entire arrangement of this song immediately dropped half a notch!
So when this rehearsal was over, he couldn't help but walk up to Da Bing and whispered, "Brother Da Bing, what do you say?
With a pop, Da Bing spit out the toothpick.
"Tricks, I'll give you a trick, you won't let you drag the sound!"
Li Qian was speechless when he heard this.
Yes, he also played in the band, and he also knew that bassists tend to like drags, portamentos, because of the bass instrument. It often looks particularly handsome at that moment. But obviously. A top-notch bass player. He had to be able to dance in the grid given by the score.
And this Da Bing, if he is put into a rock band, especially on the scene, he should be an excellent bass, but in a more disciplined recording studio, he is obviously not up to standard.
At least in Li Qian's requirements, he didn't meet the standards.
Especially. At this time, he looked at it with a thoughtful mind, and he felt that this big ice didn't seem to like him very much from the beginning?
This is evil!
Li Qian nodded lightly and gradually put away the smile on his face.
"Okay, go again, everyone, please cheer up, let's start recording two songs today! After recording, I'll treat you in the evening! Okay, everyone, get ready...... Let's go!"
The bass sounded. A little wild, a little grumpy.
He's really a bassist who can't be considered bad.
When this time was over, Li Qian took a deep breath. Turning his head and walking towards Fu Zhenbang and Li Jinlong, who had been listening in the corner next to them, there was no way, everyone was a mature musician, and they got the score in advance to practice in advance, so after a little joint practice, they soon found their own feelings, but only the bassist that Li Qian valued the most, but he couldn't get the effect he wanted.
Or perhaps, the other party is deliberately unwilling to give it out?
Li Qian didn't believe in this inference, Lao Dou Records came forward to invite people on behalf of Hua Records, and all he paid was real money, who wanted to get along with money? Or, did he think he didn't dare to change people?
Walking in front of Fu Zhenbang, Li Qian whispered, "That big ice brother...... I think my request is quite clear, but he doesn't seem to be able to get the effect I want if he doesn't drag the sound, I think, can I ask Boss Fu to help communicate?"
Fu Zhenbang has been here since the beginning, and he is an old man, how can he not understand this?
When he heard this, he nodded, comforted Li Qian and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me!" and then walked towards Da Bing.
Here, Li Qian nodded and smiled at Li Jinlong, and then walked back.
They all know that Fu Zhenbang is a local veteran, and Lao Dou Records should also have a certain amount of energy in the music circle of Jinan Mansion, so they are not afraid that he will not be able to play a bass player.
What is surprising is that before Li Qian took two steps, Da Bing over there had already said loudly: "I think the buddy is not good enough, you should change people as soon as possible! What kind of bullshit gold medal author, isn't it just a few popular songs? At that level, he still rocks lightly? Can that be called rock and roll? Running buddies are coming to the shelf of the uncle in front of him?"
Get...... That's a clear goal!
Fu Zhenbang's face was pulled down at that time, "Da Bing, it's not been a year or two since our brother got along, let me tell you, leave me a door on your mouth, otherwise don't blame my brother for not holding you!"
Then, he pointed at Li Qian, "You go and apologize to Teacher Li now, don't think that Teacher Li is young...... Let me tell you Da Bing, even if he is much younger than you, now you have invited him to be an accompanist, don't count it in your heart!"
Da Bing grinned, and walked out of the recording booth at that time, and said nonchalantly: "Apologize? Cut! I Da Bing put the words here, buddy, don't you think my bass is not good enough, okay, but you can find the whole Jinan Mansion, if you can find anyone who says that the bass is better than me, I will leave immediately!"
After finishing speaking, he also glanced at Fu Zhenbang, not caring at all that Fu Zhenbang's face was almost black to the bottom of the pot, but said confidently: "It's not my brother who blows it to you, the entire Jinan Mansion, I Da Bing is standing here and saying that this is my job, no one dares to do it!"
Li Qian nodded slowly when he listened.
That's a bar!
Recording, whether it's looking for musicians, looking for a recording engineer, or renting a recording studio, everyone is running for money, and it is only serious for Lili Suo to get the money after the work, Li Qian didn't expect to record any tricks by recording a sample.
But it didn't work out, and it didn't go well when I paid for someone.
To tell the truth, at this time, even he didn't know whether it was because that Da Bing really had a lot of opinions about himself and his works before they met, or whether he simply saw that he was just a big boy and his attitude had always been polite, so he didn't take himself seriously, and he was going to kick the field if he was a little angry.
But...... There's nothing to be afraid of.
He nodded at Da Bing, "Okay, well said!"
With that, he turned around and pulled out his phone.
Before he could dial, a few girls who had been standing behind him had already come over, Xie Bing whispered: "Li Qian, if you don't count it, it's just a small sample anyway, wait for the official record, there are good bass players in Shuntianfu, and our company has signed a lot of them! Don't worry about it, it's over the record, okay?"
The other girls also nodded when they heard this.
At this time, Li Jinlong also walked over quickly, although his face was also very ugly, he still suppressed his anger and persuaded Li Qian, saying: "You dissipate your anger, if you can record it, we will continue to record, if you can't record it, I will call someone from Shuntian Mansion, how about it?"
Li Qian shook his head, "No." β
He understands that this is probably the power of the so-called Sitting Tiger?
Since that Da Bing dared to shout out such a loud breath, I am afraid that even if Fu Zhenbang is willing to help come forward to find another one, I am afraid that it will be difficult. As for the other from Suncheonfu, please ...... Joke, Hua Ge is an outsider, and he Li Qian is a local!
If you really don't know anyone at all, but who let him just know one not long ago!
Besides, everyone in this room is watching, if he Li Qian can't settle this matter smoothly, there are so many local musicians in Jinan Mansion in the room, once this matter is spread, what kind of reputation will it be?
So, the phone was connected.
"Hey, what's the matter?"
"Brother Cao, how many years haven't you touched a bass?"
"Seven or eight years, right?
"I'm making a song for someone here, and I'm afraid you can't even find the bass. β
"When?"
"Now. β
"Where?"
"Lao Dou Records, you know, right?"
"Wait. Twenty minutes. (To be continued......)
