Chapter 89: Adaptation and Creation
As soon as Min Xue went home, he began to work on the arrangement of "Good Day", and Bao Mei's documentary filming was more than halfway through, and he was still in a hurry in time, so Min Xue temporarily threw away other things at hand.
In Min Xue's vision, it shouldn't be difficult to adapt the original song, but after getting started, he found that it was not as easy as he imagined.
Flipping through the synopsis sent by Bao Mei, Min Xue fell into deep thought.
This documentary, called "Reform", has a very grand layout, telling the story of the Chinese people overcoming difficulties, forging ahead, and solidly deepening reform from political, economic, social, cultural and other aspects.
At first glance, it seems to be the main theme, but the core idea is actually closely around reform, development and innovation.
In the face of this big pattern, the style of "Good Day" will seem out of place, but it is undeniable that it is classic in some aspects.
When he first agreed to Bao Mei, Min Xue even thought about whether there would be a song that fully met Bao Mei's requirements in his mind again.
However, it didn't, but fortunately, Min Xue was not too disappointed.
For this kind of uncontrollable factor, if dependence is cultivated, it is really terrible.
In Min Xue's philosophy, only if he is strong, he is truly strong, and he can deal with various scenes at any time, and he has always had a clear understanding of this.
So even with the legendary golden finger, Min Xue is working harder than before to enrich himself.
Of course, it's not that the golden finger can't be used, and Min Xue won't be so fake Taoism, just use it when it should be used, who said that luck can't be a part of strength?
It's far away, back to the present.
So how do you play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses so that the song matches the theme?
For several days, Min Xue was considering the question of which direction to start.
Fortunately, although Bao Mei took over such a positive theme, according to the shooting ideas she sent, Bao Mei wanted to start small, see the big from the small, and reflect the process of reform through the lives of the people.
This also gives Min Xue room to start on the basis of "Good Day".
After having ideas, Min Xue initially planned two plans.
First, under the premise that the original melody remains unchanged, through the difference of the soundtrack, the original style of music is changed, and the joy is removed and vitality is saved.
The second way is to intercept the main melody of "Good Day" and then knead it into its own melody to form a new song that is different from the original song.
There are pros and cons to both approaches, the first advantage is simpler, while the latter requires its own creation and is more challenging.
Min Xue did not blindly challenge himself, but started with a simple mode, first adjusting the whole song through different soundtracks.
For this reason, Min Xue also bought some simple arranging equipment, and music is really a money-burning thing.
The whole arrangement process can be described as tedious and boring, but every time I make a paragraph that achieves the result I want, the sense of harvest is indescribably satisfying.
In recent days, the rearrangement of "Good Day" has taken up a lot of Min Xue's time.
Fortunately, Min Xue is not officially a criminal policeman, and if he doesn't take the initiative to follow the case, he will generally not be assigned, and Guan Hongji is a completely free-range management model for him.
Otherwise, with the busyness of criminal investigation work, Min Xue is afraid that he will not have such a leisurely effort to engage in creation and adaptation.
Recently, when I arrived in the office, there was no one there, and they had a lot of cases at hand.
Don't mention others, let's talk about Lu Qianbai and Cheng Wenhua, the two of them went to other places to arrest again, this is also the daily life of the criminal police, and they are on the road for most of the year.
However, with Lu Qianbai's combat effectiveness and Cheng Wenhua's caution, Min Xue felt that there was nothing to worry about under normal circumstances, and I believe this was also the reason why Guan Hongji separated the two of them together.
It's a weekend in a flash, and the progress of Min Xue's adaptation is good, but the equipment I just bought at home is a bit low-end, and there is no problem with ordinary play tickets.
After arranging music for so long, Min Xue decided to see what a real recording studio looks like.
Du Niang took a look and found a recording studio recommended by many people, direct to Metro Line 1, and it only takes three minutes to walk after getting off.
The name of this recording studio is Dusk, and the name of the business is so unsophisticated, Min Xue feels that the boss should be a musician, and the name is a little uninhibited.
Of course, I don't know who the boss is Min Xue, but the girl at the front desk is quite temperamental, and she warmly welcomed Min Xue to visit the recording studio.
This twilight recording studio is quite thoughtful in its decoration.
The exterior of the whole hall is uniform, and the interior is divided into multiple recording studios, each with a different number of recording studios with different design styles, including black and white rock, natural logs, colorful and exotic, etc., to meet the different needs of customers.
Let's not talk about the equipment, the light environment is very comfortable, and maybe the inspiration will come when the mood is comfortable.
The girl at the front desk is very conscientious to introduce the equipment situation here, XX equipment is advanced in China, XX level is world-class, XX stars like to record songs and other words, gushing endlessly, anyway, there is no charge for bragging.
Most of the people who come to play are not too professional, especially celebrities, who generally have recording studios in the companies they contract, and they don't have to come out and crowd people.
And there are many kinds of equipment, from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, Min Xue checked it casually, and he felt dazzled, and he didn't study it in depth, so he could only watch the girl blow it.
In a tall place, the fee is naturally expensive.
Fortunately, Min Xue's wallet is relatively bulging, although he did not deliberately collect money, but various royalties and manuscript fees are still endless.
casually chartered a recording studio, and Min Xue started work.
The effect of professional equipment is indeed different, and people who have not really used it may not be able to appreciate it.
Unlike people who go straight to the topic of recording songs as soon as they enter the studio, Min Xue spent a lot of time and staff learning how to use the equipment.
The staff has a very good service attitude, and there is no idea of self-cherishing the broom, and I may also think that after such a while, Min Xue can't learn anything.
But I didn't think about it, this person is really slippery to learn, and his memory and understanding are super strong, what does it mean to draw inferences?
In fact, Min Xue is not so godly, the basic learning during this period of time is in place, and it is normal for me to show this.
At the end of the day, Min Xue didn't start to officially record songs, the so-called sharpening knives do not mistakenly chop wood, in the learning process, full of harvest and surprises.
The only regret is that no one came to grab the recording studio?
Well, just kidding.
When he went back the next day, Min Xue only rented a recording studio, didn't use the staff, and hid in it alone for a day.
The results of the two days are as follows, three versions of "Good Day" were obtained, one original version, which Min Xue recorded very happily, one atmospheric version, which changed the style of the song and added some popular elements, and the last one was the creative version, which was made from a melody added after a sudden feeling during the production the next day.
