Chapter 81: The album is complete!

The relationship between Li Qian and Xie Bing is, of course, not as imagined by those gossipy men and women.

Xie Bing is very beautiful, there is no doubt about this, he is smiling and smiling, his eyes are beautiful, Wu Nong is soft-spoken, charming and lovely...... These good words will definitely not have the slightest sense of disobedience when used on her, and there is not even a feeling of praising her. Because these words are completely realistic in her. This beautiful girl, of course, everyone loves to look at it, at least Li Qian thinks that dealing with a few beautiful girls with their five elements is a very pleasant and enjoyable thing.

However, that's about it.

Li Qian is not obscene, and he does not have a so-called harem collection habit, and even if he thinks that the three wives and four concubines are quite emotional when he thinks about it, he is not so superficial that he wants to hug him when he sees a beautiful girl.

As an old man in his thirties, he has his own self-knowledge, and self-control.

Therefore, in his heart, professionally speaking, he himself is the producer of the album Wuxing Wusu, he wants to help them do a good job of this album, and he wants to earn a sum of money while holding them up, as well as a qualification that will be more tough and confident when he enters the industry in the future. In terms of personal relationship, to be honest, he is an old man whose psychological age will be forty years younger, looking at these lively and youthful girls, many times he will subconsciously treat them as juniors and children - this is a common problem of many mature old men.

No matter what ripples Xie Bing's heart would have, for Li Qian, he took Xie Bing to listen to such a scene. One is to fulfill her promise, and the other is to feel that she stayed in Jinan Mansion alone, and when it was time for the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, although Wang Jingxue was also in Jinan Mansion, she was cold, and she really didn't look like the kind that would be considerate and caring for people, so Li Qian felt that it was necessary to give a little care to the little girl...... As I said earlier, this is really a common problem of old men.

The play is over. Care was delivered, for him. That's it.

I listened to a good show in the afternoon, and everyone got together for dinner in the evening, and then Li Qian rode a bicycle and sent Xie Bing back to the house they rented. Before leaving, I didn't forget to say: That song "Farewell" must be practiced well. Otherwise, I'll discipline you later!

So, yes, Xie Bing wanted to say something in his stomach, and he also held it back.

…………

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, everything is back on track.

Although the vacation was not long, with a few days to relax, the fatigue caused by the previous weeks of continuous recording in the girls disappeared immediately. Although the previous good state has also lost a lot, but after two days of slight adjustment, their next recording is still smooth quickly.

The first to be completed was "Love Me!", which was written and composed by Cao Zhan and arranged by Li Qian, and then "Lovebirds".

In the end, it was the "Evening on the outskirts of Moscow" that was very Russian folk - an extra word. In this world, this song has never appeared before.

Wait until all three songs are recorded. It was late October.

And then, finally, finally. It's time for the final stage of the recording part of the album - "Farewell"!

…………

In Li Qian's plan for the Five Elements as the producer of the album, every song in their album has a clear direction. all have a clear audience.

From "Let's Swing the Sculls" for elementary school students and junior high school students, to "Happy Baby" for junior high school students and high school students, to "Sister and Sister Stand Up" for high school students, college students, and all the main consumers of pop music under the age of 30, as well as "Lovelorn Front Alliance" for all young men and women, in cooperation with the song "Rush! Rush!" that has been confirmed to be retained, and Cao Zhan's cheerful and bright "Love Me!" , these six songs together constitute a relatively complete box office system - these songs are for the purpose of digging out young people's wallets.

However, an album obviously can't all be in this brisk style, although it is not absolutely impossible, but if the whole album is really made into this way, then it is not popular, once this album becomes popular, the future development route of the Five Elements will be directly nailed.

So, they also need some alternative songs.

For example, "Lovebirds", such as "Rock Sugar Gourd", such as "Night on the outskirts of Moscow".

These three songs will also become popular, and they can also become popular, but they will not attract as much money as "Sister Sister Stand Up", because they all have their own unique charm and relatively partial audience.

The former can bring sales, and the latter can bring word of mouth.

But just that, the album is too messy.

Whether it's top-heavy or not, at least for an album, it will seem relatively disordered, and even have a feeling of being directly divided into two halves, and it is impossible to create a perfect album from the overall style.

Therefore, a song "Farewell" is also needed to hold down the position.

With "Farewell", Wuxing Wusu is no longer a simple idol group that can only sing fast songs and make money, and the last four songs represented by "Farewell" and "Evening on the outskirts of Moscow" will bring them quite a good professional reputation, and at that time, it is possible to really usher in a double harvest of word-of-mouth and sales!

In the 21st century, people like to talk about style, and in the final analysis, it is nothing more than style.

And "Farewell" is taken out to brush the style.

It's just that there are positives and negatives to everything.

The song "Farewell" is very powerful and awesome, it is not an exaggeration to say that in the time and space that Li Qian has experienced, it is enough to be a super work alongside "Yellow River Cantata" and "March of the Volunteers", but the theme of the latter two is the survival of the nation, this theme is very large, and the level of those two works is also extremely high, so it seems to have a high status, and "Farewell" is purely an expression of personal feelings. So it seems to be lighter.

But in terms of musical standards alone, "Farewell" is actually not inferior.

Even, to put it irreverently, if there is no promotion of the state apparatus, those two great works related to the survival of the nation, once they enter the era of peace, it is usually estimated that only a few people will listen to and admire it, and "Farewell". But it is enough to be immortal for a hundred years by virtue of the spontaneous word-of-mouth of the people.

But it is precisely because of its super high status and super high quality of works that it makes as soon as this song appears. It will inevitably greatly shake the domestic music scene in this time and space. Then, as the first five-element group to sing this work, it will inevitably usher in more, more rigorous, and even nitpicky scrutiny, criticism, and even torture.

And because of this, from the beginning of the recording. Li Qian was extremely strict with the five girls, and even recorded the fast song in one go, and put "Evening on the Outskirts of Moscow" to the end, further cultivating emotions and feelings for them.

But it turned out to be difficult.

And this has nothing to do with singing skills or voice, it's just that the feelings are not in place!

In Li Qian's opinion, this song is difficult to sing. But it's also good to sing. It is said that it is difficult to sing because it is a slow song, and it is a slow song that is quite exquisite, and it has extremely strict requirements for the singer's breath and singing skills. But to say it sings well. But it's because the most important thing in this song is actually not singing. Nor is it breath.

It's feelings.

Just like the famous evaluation of Su Shi's words, "Bachelor's words." It must be Kansai Han, copper pipa, iron plate. Sing the big river to the east. You know, at that time in the Song Dynasty, the singers in the Qinglou were professional! But Su Dongpo's bold words, if you let a few delicate and weak girls in their twenties and eight-year-olds sing with red teeth in their hands, it just doesn't sound right!

To sing "Farewell" well, it's very simple.

A person with a certain singing skills, over forty years old, preferably over fifty years old, has experienced some things, precipitated some things, experienced life and death, you give him this song, even if he has an unstable breath in some places, and even a little out of tune in some places, he even has a dumb throat, but it doesn't matter at all, as soon as that sense of age and that sense of time comes out, the song "Farewell" can give you tears that you can't stop listening to a few words!

But the average age is only twenty-one...... Obviously, there is no sense of the vicissitudes of time!

So, one day, two days...... On the third day, Li Qian simply called them out of the recording studio and returned to the rehearsal room.

"I know you're all still very young, and I know that it's not easy for you to grasp the feelings of this song, so I don't have high expectations of you. You're all young, but I'm sure you're not completely unexperienced with this kind ......of emotion in this song!

"You all left your parents when you were teenagers, went out, went to Suncheonfu, and went to make music, so now, please think back to me, do you remember what you were like when you left home? What were you like? What were your parents like? Do you remember what the colors of the quilt cover and pillow towel your mother put together? The little bear at the head of the bed, or the puppy, or a little crocodile with ugly sewing?"

"You just came back from home from the holidays, so usual? When you can't go back, do you occasionally think of a certain dish that your mother cooked for you? When you encounter difficulties, encounter troubles, when you are alone and cry aggrievedly, do you think of something?"

"And, there's ...... Do you remember the flower beds that you could see when you looked down from the window? And the children who were running, laughing, and making noise by the flower beds? Do you remember the schools you grew up in, and do you remember the big patches of weeds that grew up on the playground when school started every year after the summer vacation?"

"You must all have your own good friends, iron buddies and girlfriends from childhood to adulthood, so do you remember what your good friends said before you were about to leave home? Did you get drunk together? So how long have you not seen each other now? Goodbye to them, can you still remember the stupid things you did when you were so stupid?...... OK, I see that someone's eyes are starting to turn red, so now, think about it, grab it, and sing it!"

…………

Recording the five songs of the first part, Li Qian took the five elements to record for about less than 20 days.

It took them about 16 days to record the three songs for the second part.

But when it came to the recording of "Farewell", just repeatedly tempering their breath and repeatedly mobilizing their feelings, Li Qian spent a full fourteen days!

But the good thing is that when you walk into the studio again, the effect is immediately apparent.

When a few girls, and a few girls who were just in their early twenties, sang "Outside the Long Pavilion, by the Ancient Road" with the clear and simple voices unique to young girls, unconsciously, Li Qian, who was standing outside the transparent glass wall of the recording studio, found that feeling of sour nose and eyes.

The song "Farewell", ordinary fans who are not familiar with it may think that it is the format of the upper and lower runs, but in fact it is not, it is a total of three rungs up and down, that is to say, after the upper and lower runs, there is a repetition of the section of "outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road" of the upper rung, thus forming a sense of reciprocation, doubling the highlight of the long pavilion, the ancient road, the grass, the evening breeze, the willow, the flute, the sunset, the mountains, etc.

The voice is sad, and every word is lovely.

Li Qian assigned different passages to the five girls according to their different voices - no way, "Let's Swing the Sculls" is mainly for children, and the chorus is enough, but "Evening on the outskirts of Moscow" and "Farewell" are destined to attract countless critical eyes, if you simply continue to use the chorus, then not only the five elements, but even he, the producer, will be criticized to the head of the dog's blood!

Moreover, that would be too timid!

Fortunately, the hard work paid off, after two months of continuous adjustment of them, coupled with the recent in-depth emotional excavation, Li Qian finally succeeded in making the five young girls sing to at least the standard!

…………

Saturday, November 9th, at half past four in the afternoon.

After recording five times in a row, at least three of which met or even exceeded the standards required by Li Qian, Li Qian pressed the intercom, smiled at the five girls behind the glass wall, and said, "OK, now I announce that the studio recording part of your second album "Sister Sister Stand Up" is officially completed!"

After a pause, before the five sluggish girls in the recording studio could react, he had already folded his hands again, put away all the training energy in the recent period, and said with a peaceful smile on his face: "In the past two months, I have worked hard for you!"

I don't know if it's because the emotional excavation has been too ruthless recently, or I really feel that the album recording has been too hard in the past two months, or because I have been trained by Li Qian many times recently, and they have accumulated too much resentment, in short...... A moment later, the five girls behind the glass wall instantly turned red.

Li Qian sighed imperceptibly, and then laughed slowly.

"It's finally finished. He thought. ()
