Chapter 327: The Awesome Karan Recording Studio

Zheng Xudong, Andrea and Scott walked out of the restaurant like a run, got into the car and drove out for a while, stopped the car, Andrea said: "Adong, I won't go to record songs with you, I'll go back to the company to deal with some things, if you finish recording the song, you can go home and wait for me if you are okay!" ”

"Andrea, after recording the song in the evening, I'm going to Los Angeles, and tomorrow night there's a party that can't be pushed away, you know, I'll finish the event tomorrow, if it's okay, I'll rush back, what do you think?" Zheng Xudong said to her.

"Knowing that you are busy, you go, the woman will tell you the things that need to be paid attention to at the banquet, so I won't say much. Thinking that you have to come back as soon as possible after you are busy with things over there, there are still advertisements to shoot here, and there are signing meetings to be held, anyway, you don't want to leave if you can't finish these things, stay here with me every day. "Andrea still has the style of a president at this time, she is completely a child's mentality.

"Okay, as long as I'm not done, I won't leave. Zheng Xudong tidied up the hair on her sideburns with his hand, "You also have to pay attention to rest, don't exhaust your body, in that case, I don't want this company, I just want you to be by my side." ”

Andrea was a little moved by his words and pushed him, "You know how to deal with me with sweet words." Okay, let's get busy. With that, she got into the car and drove away.

"Boss, I found that you are still good!" said Scott with a thumbs up next to him. Zheng Xudong looked at him with puzzled eyes and said, "What is so powerful about me?"

"Oh my God, you know what, a queen-like figure like Ivanka and Andrea, one of them burns incense around you, and you can get them both together and live in harmony, do you know how much you are hated in the eyes of Americans? Alas!"

"Okay, don't be emotional, let's go, I'm going to Los Angeles after the song. Zheng Xudong dragged him, got into his car and drove towards the recording studio.

The place where the recording studio is in the Brooklyn district of New York, this district is the most populous district of the five districts of New York, and it is also the most racially discriminatory district, and it is also a district with the most colored people, especially the district with the most black people, of course, there are more black people, the law and order is usually not very good, overall, in general, it is okay during the day, and it is difficult to say at night, so the rich people in the United States will not live in this district, the fewer rich people, the less taxes they pay, and the less taxes, the fewer the police, so a vicious circle is formed。

Mr. Scott also said that the vast majority of Brooklyn is still okay, but only a few small areas have been overrun by gangsters and drug traffickers, and many times the police are afraid to go there. Fortunately, the place they went to was still the safest place.

The studio they are going to is on 21st Street in Bensenher, Brooklyn, among the 25th floors of a high-end commercial residence, a high-rise residential building with three households, this recording studio actually bought all three rooms on the 25th floor, and then opened them all, the entire floor of nearly 700 square meters is all this studio, of which at least 500 square meters are divided into professional recording studios, only about 200 square meters are used to live and live.

On the way, Scott explained that the studio, called Karan, ranks among the top five in the United States for all kinds of equipment and production standards. It's much better than the Triangle studio in Atlanta last time, and if he wasn't in a hurry, he'd definitely come here to record. And the owner here is called Karan, a very good person, and a lot of big names record with him, so you will get a little cold reception there, and you don't mind, in Scott's original words, "Usually people who engage in art are arrogant." Actually, it's pretending to be awesome!"

Zheng Xudong thought that he was going to record a song, and he also spent money, so he couldn't talk about who he wanted to show whom, anyway, he would leave after recording. Sure enough, after arriving at the workshop, the Karan came up and gave Scott a hug first, looked up at Zheng Xudong next to him, and said, "Hey! Scott, this is the star you said you have been promoting recently." After speaking, he looked at Zheng Xudong carefully, and Zheng Xudong was just about to say hello, when he heard him say: "It's not good! It's just that the external image is better." ”

Scott hurriedly said, "Hey, Karan, I'll introduce you, this is Ann... Before he could finish speaking, Karan, a white man who was only about one meter seven or eight tall, said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter to me who he is." I only recognize money, not people. Go in, go to Booth Four, and the people over there are already waiting for you. After saying that, he turned around and left.

Seeing that Zheng Xudong's face was a little dark, Scott quickly explained: "Don't be angry, he is like this." ”

Zheng Xudong was actually a little uncomfortable in his heart, which also strengthened his idea of building his own recording studio, "Scott, I'm not angry, I'm just a little uncomfortable, it's okay, I can understand, our reputation is still too small in the eyes of others, forget it, don't talk about it." After recording this time, you will immediately organize things for me, and I will build my own studio for everything. Be big. ”

"Okay, but you don't own a property in the United States, where are you going to renovate your studio?" asked Scott.

"Just kidding, Scott, my current property in the United States, I'll do the math, there's a big farm, a big ranch, and the biggest ranch under construction, oh, and by the way, I have a $30 million villa in Los Angeles, and you dare say I don't have a property. I have to pay tens of millions of dollars in property taxes every year! Zheng Xudong said to him.

Scott really didn't expect Zheng Xudong to have so many properties in the United States, but he still said: "Except for that villa in Los Angeles, your farm and ranch are not suitable for building a recording studio, those places are too remote." ”

"Then decorate a recording studio in that villa. Then I also have a large villa in the capital of China, and I also have one in the magic capital, so it will be cheaper to buy the equipment together. Zheng Xudong was ruthless and decided that as long as he lived in the city in the future, he would at least decorate a recording studio. In this way, you don't have to look at other people's eyes wherever you go, he inquired, the best recording studio is only 20 million yuan after decoration, and the price of equipment is also included here, of course, not including the price of housing. Calculated to be about 3.2 million US dollars, if you purchase it centrally, it can still be cheap, nodded affirmatively and said: "Just do it, and make a budget according to the first decoration of three recording studios." !"

Scott looked at the young man, not knowing if he was talking angry or serious, trying to distinguish from the look in his eyes, "You mean it, Anton." That's a lot of money, and it's about 10 million dollars. It's still a matter of looking at your houses. ”

"It's okay, you can do it, this time you go to Los Angeles or you go with me, by the way, go to see my house, and then I will ask the country to send you the electronic file drawings and real-life photos of the two houses in the magic capital and the capital, and you are fully responsible for the procurement of recording studio equipment and facilities." After making the budget, let President Andrea find someone to review it, don't let people deceive. After the audit is correct, I will pay, you will supervise the renovation in the United States, and then come to China after the renovation is completed, and be responsible for the renovation of the recording studios of the two properties, and it just so happens that the focus of my work will be in China, you can come to China to help me! What do you think?"

Seeing that the young man believed so much that he had entrusted himself with such an important project worth ten million dollars, Scott patted his chest and said, "Well, since you're not kidding, then just do it, in fact, it will be much more convenient to have your own recording studio." It's not like now, if people have a lot of work, we have to wait in line. But those big names can record first before it's our turn. ”

"Scott, about building your own recording studio, I have one request, it must be made world-class, you remember, you are standing in front of you are billionaires, and money is spent in my eyes. Got it?"

"Hearing you say that, I am even more confident. Don't worry, boss, for such a big project, there will be many companies rushing to come to us, and we can even have a small bidding meeting. I have experience in this matter, and I will do it well. Scott said, patting his chest.

After talking, I came to the front of the No. 4 recording studio, and when I went in, I saw that it was really small, and it could not be described as small, but it could only be said to be mini. There are two rooms inside and outside the whole recording studio, a total of less than ten square meters, after entering the door is the monitoring room, in the monitoring room there is a large vacuum glass window, you can see the recording studio inside, next to the glass window there is a door to enter the recording studio. The area of the recording studio is only about four square meters, and more than three people will not be able to turn around.

The person in charge of recording saw the expressions of the two of them and knew that it was to make this recording studio small, so he said: "You don't have to make it small, because your job is to collect a sound, professionally called a sub-track recording, that is, the music you have done in the early stage, this time is to add vocals, this is actually very simple, if you want to do simultaneous recording, it is the kind of scene that needs to be accompanied, then the recording room is big, and it depends on how many people you are accompaniing, and how many people are singing." We only have one recording studio like that, with an area of more than 200 square meters, and that recording studio used to do post-mixing for the first part of Transformers, and thirty or forty people recorded together, so it needs to be bigger, and your work is only one person, this one is enough. ”

Hearing his explanation, Zheng Xudong and Scott were in a better mood, at least knowing that people didn't look down on him. Because the song "JUST THE WAY YOU ARE" has been done beforehand, after Zheng Xudong entered the recording studio, put on SONY's professional headphones, and stood in front of the professional condenser microphone, there is also a pop filter in front of the microphone to prevent the flow of people who sing directly to the microphone to produce violent sound (at first, the author thought that thing was used to prevent singing, spraying leek leaves in his mouth onto the microphone!).

The song "JUST THE WAY YOU ARE" is one of Brother Mars's early works, and the reason why this song was chosen is because it is also a song that sells well all over the world (except for a few socialist countries), and it is a love song with a relatively relaxed style, which is very in line with the taste of Europeans and Americans. Zheng Xudong sang for the first time and was denied by the outside recording, the rap was a little stiff, and the breath was not well controlled. When I recorded it for the second time, I was rejected by myself again, and it still didn't reach the level of satisfaction I was satisfied with, and by the time I recorded it for the fourth time, both myself and the staff outside were already very satisfied, and then I ended my recording.
