Chapter 11: The Beginning of Hardship
The adaptation of the song was actually very smooth, when Bai Kaifeng was in Suzhou, he had already anticipated the situation, and Emperor Company was also very cooperative, and on the third day after the adaptation, Emperor asked the musicians to reinterpret the song according to Bai Kaifeng's ideas. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Some parts of Bai Kaifeng use the method of MIDI music addition, Bai Kaifeng, who has been a studio assistant for several years, is very solid for the basic knowledge of orchestration, and has the self-confidence that MIDI makes a fake effect. A large part of the film soundtracks in later generations used MIDI music to fake the real.
It took another day to solve the harmony part of the song. On the fourth day, Bai Kaifeng officially notified Tin to come over for an audition.
The two of them were a little crazy to practice pronunciation and familiarize themselves with the tunes every day in the apartment, and they wanted to go out to play and play, and they thought of Bai Kaifeng's merciless evaluation a few days ago, so they suddenly continued to practice the songs in the apartment.
The two people who finally waited for Bai Kaifeng's notice dressed up well, especially when Zhong Xintong walked in, her beautiful eyes looked at Bai Kaifeng's eyes with a hint of smugness, and at first glance, today's audition was going to make Bai Kaifeng look at him.
Bai Kaifeng's psychological ability is no longer a child, naturally nothing, smiled, walked to the door of the control room, and opened the door for the two, "I hope today's recording goes well." ”
"Hmph~" Zhong Xintong pouted lightly and pulled Cai Zhuoyan into the recording area, and it could be seen that Zhong Xintong's evaluation that day was quite a big blow, especially in front of Sister Mani!
After walking in, the two of them took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and nodded to Bai Kaifeng in the control area. Bai Kaifeng saw the recording engineer next to him and nodded.
The familiar tune slowly flowed out of the headphones again, and the main key of the song was still the same, but the arrangement was completely different.
In fact, the arrangement is a secondary creation of music, but the first arrangement was too stiff, and the simplest piano and percussion drums were used for joy. This obviously did not satisfy Bai Kaifeng.
For Bai Kaifeng, who is no longer familiar with the song score, he ingeniously uses modern electroacoustic technology to make the two sounds, which are extremely unbalanced in sound, perfectly compatible, and also allows some chords to reach the unconventional sound area.
Today is the first audition, and the two of them sang the whole song in one breath as before, Bai Kaifeng listened carefully to the music, adjusted the pitch from time to time in the control room, and picked up the pen next to him to mark some notes.
The time for a song passed quickly, and Zhong Xintong, who was full of anticipation, hurriedly walked out, looked at Bai Kaifeng with some expectation and asked, "How is it, how is it?"
Bai Kaifeng took off his headphones, and was not in a hurry to answer Zhong Xintong's question, but asked: "What do you two think of the current tone, what is the difference from last time?" ”
Cai Zhuoyan thought for a while and said: "This time the music is more cheerful and the prelude has the school bell, which is easier to bring in emotions, and it is much richer than last time." “
Bai Kaifeng nodded while listening, but the pen in his hand did not stop, "If you change some of them to R&B, can you adapt to it?" ”
"Then I probably won't be able to keep up with the middle. Zhong Xintong said a little staggered, but he also blushed a little after speaking, fiddling with his hair to hide his little embarrassment.
Hearing this, the pen in Bai Kaifeng's hand suddenly stopped, then nodded, and circled the word Funk heavily on the white paper. "You can't rush it yet. ”
Bai Kaifeng turned from the swivel chair to look at the two people, and said with a smile: "It's much better than last time, maybe it's the first time to try today, I didn't open my voice, my voice is a little miscellaneous, wait for the equipment to warm up again." Ah, Jiao is much better than last time. ”
Zhong Xintong heard Bai Kaifeng shout his affectionate nickname, and his face suddenly turned red, Bai Kaifeng actually blurted out subconsciously in the recording studio because fans in later generations called him so.
However, after speaking, Bai Kaifeng got up and poured two glasses of water to the water dispenser next to him, and Tin, who was already sitting on the side, did not find Zhong Xintong, who was a little shy.
A good music producer must learn to coordinate with the singer before recording and discuss some of the lyrics.
Bai Kaifeng took out the A4 paper with the lyrics printed, and the symbols marked on it were seven, seven, eight, and eight, which made Tin on the side a little surprised by Bai Kaifeng's seriousness.
"The word Ah Jiao in the second chorus part is just a little out of tune, and Ah sa is also a little bit. Pay ye attention. Hearing some affectionate titles, the two of them were like little girls, and lightly glanced at Bai Kaifeng's dignified and handsome face at this time, Zhong Xintong stuck out his little tongue and listened carefully.
"I don't want our song to be a one-word re-entry that would make the quality of the song drop a notch. "Supplemental recording is the worst situation in Bai Kaifeng's heart, although this situation can overcome the difficulty of a singer's unconventional sound, but powerful musicians can hear it, and the quality of the song will drop a lot.
"Next, it may be a little hard, you two take good care of your throats, and we will record in sections. In the end, Bai Kaifeng still said with concern. Segmented recording is the most conventional method of recording songs, and it is the most practical, although singing the entire song in one sitting is the best. But those who can reach this level are people with extremely outstanding singers.
Zhong Xintong and Cai Zhuoyan listened carefully to Bai Kaifeng's words next to them, and they both nodded seriously, although the Tin group is a new group that the emperor is promoting this year, and it has attracted the attention of many Hong Kong media before its debut, but the music works are still the most important, and if there are no convincing works, everything is like a water moon mirror flower is gone.
"Okay, I'll talk to you about the mood and some of the diacritics of this piece. Bai Kaifeng was also very satisfied with the attitudes of both parties. In the recording studio, I shared my thoughts with two people.
Although it was recorded paragraph by paragraph, it was not easy to go.
"Stop!
"Wait, this beat is slower, yes, this part, a little slower. ”
"Stop, stop, stop. I've just said it several times, this part has to follow the melody, this part is MIDI, and your voice can't be carried away. ”
…………………………………………
"Don't record it, take a break. At the end of the talk, Bai Kaifeng, who was standing in the control room, beckoned, and when he saw Bai Kaifeng beckoning, the eyes of the two couldn't help but light up.
Although he was mentally prepared to record the song, it was even more painful to actually record it, especially the producer Bai Kaifeng, a man known as a musical tyrant in the Shanghai circle.
Finally able to rest, both of them exhaled. Walking out, Bai Kaifeng walked to his side with two glasses of water, "It's hard work, I've already recorded two paragraphs." ”
"Poof!" When Zhong Xintong heard this, the water in his mouth squirted, and it was only two paragraphs!
Bai Kaifeng looked at Zhong Xintong with a smile and said: "It's already very good, you two have a good music foundation, I used to encounter people who couldn't record two parts in two days." ”
"Before?" Cai Zhuoyan looked at Bai Kaifeng with some suspicion when he heard this, and Bai Kaifeng also knew that he had slipped his mouth and snorted.
"I've rested enough, I'll record later. Today, I will strive to finish the two paragraphs in one go. “
"Huh?!"
"Let me hear you bravesoud!"
"Stop, stop, how did you make the mistake just now!"
"Stop! ”
"Now that I've recorded it, I'll treat you to dinner!"
"God!!!Save them!!! it's so hard to record a tune!!"
"Oh my God!"
