Chapter 80, Qin Yan roared!
"Who wrote these English lyrics?"
Liu Xia Yu looked at Galen, very curious.
"I wrote it!" said Galen, grimacingly.
"This ...... I didn't expect you to be so good at writing in English!"
She originally wanted to say "this is impossible", but thinking about the two songs that Galen came up with, it seems that there is nothing impossible to write in English, so she couldn't help but change her words.
"Understand!" said Galen smiled.
His level of English is actually no different from that of ordinary students, basic listening, speaking, reading and writing are okay, and the conversation is completely blind, let alone writing in English.
Li Ronghao squinted at Li Qing, "Director Li, can this song be selected into the album?"
"Let me think!"
Li Qing said, "It's best to take only one of these two songs, but listen to the latter first!"
"Huh...... Good!"
Li Ronghao turned his head and glanced at Galen with a smug expression, his thoughts were self-evident.
Galen's face is bland, and the last three songs are the big killers, and one play will definitely occupy a place in the pop music scene.
Soon, the three songs were listened to.
Everyone was even more silent, and Liu Xiayu lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Li Ronghao was proud of Galen's "Yellow" and "Shooting Star" just now.
can listen to the last three songs, the pride is still there, but more I admire it very much.
Li Qing closed his eyes, and was silent for a long time after listening to the songs, before he suddenly opened his eyes and sat upright, staring at Galen with his eyes, "These songs are all used!
Galen smiled, "Okay, then I'll write you four more songs now!"
"Not yet!"
Who knows, Li Qingyi waved his hand, "You have to keep one hand for everything, plus today's four, seven new songs are enough, and the rest will choose a few more songs that you have sung before and have not come out of the official version!"
"What four songs?" Li Ronghao was anxious when he heard this, "Isn't this five?"
"'Shooting Star' and 'Yellow' only need to make one version of the accompaniment!"
Li Qing said, "I plan to make "Yellow" a hidden track to add a gimmick to the album, after all, the audience of English songs in China is small, and it is still a question whether ordinary listeners can understand it.
"Hidden tracks?" Li Ronghao raised his eyebrows.
The so-called hidden tracks, also known as hidden tracks.
To put it simply, it does not appear in the list of songs on the album's cover, nor does it appear in any of the record's introductory copy, and only the listener listens to the last song on a CD, and the mysterious track will appear.
Hidden tracks have been around since the days of vinyl, and the reasons are even more varied.
Some of them were because of mistakes in the recording, some because the song itself was prohibited from being released by relevant laws, and some musicians just wanted to make a joke with everyone, so they casually recorded a messy piece of music and put it at the end.
In addition, the two biggest reasons, one is that the musician wants to surprise the fans, and the other is that the track may not match the content of the whole album, and it is placed in the position of the hidden track, which is also a manifestation of throwing stones and asking for directions.
"If the market response of this English song is good, Galen has a great opportunity to go international, and at the same time, I will also recommend this song to friends who make music abroad and ask them how they feel!" Li Qing said.
Li Ronghao didn't speak this time, although he admitted that Li Qing's vision was indeed farther than him, but he would not tolerate the other party's shortcomings because of this, especially the problems of politeness and quality!
Li Qing picked up the pen and scribbled a few strokes on the paper, "Then that's it! The rest of the songs, excluding the songs to be released on the movie soundtrack next month, only choose "One Night in Beijing", "Chang'an Chang'an", "Bund No. 18", "Memories of Zhengzhou" and "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold"!"
He spread out the A4 paper in front of everyone, and the complete selection of songs has appeared in front of everyone, and it has been sorted according to style.
Galen took a look, the album was divided into two categories, one of which is "rock and folk style", which happens to be six songs, and the other six are planned as "innovative pop", as for whether it can be popular, let's not say it, but Galen never expected that these songs could be divided into two equal groups, it seems that Li Qing had a plan in his heart.
Not only is all the songs briefly described in a few words, but also the songs are arranged in order, which shows that he is really attentive to music.
At the end of the meeting, Li Qing told Galen that he would start recording in the company tomorrow, and he also worked hard to make all the music.
At the end, he patted Galen on the shoulder, and said in an affirmative tone, "Young man, come on!"
Hey......
Galen was a little surprised, this guy hadn't said hello to him since they met, and he hadn't said anything other than music.
I didn't expect to give such a sentence when I finally dispersed.
But as soon as he left, Li Ronghao snorted, "I'm arrogant, don't think I don't know what he thinks! Let you cheer up, in fact, it's to find yourself under the stairs! He can't hold ...... face anymore."
After listening to him nagging for a long time, Galen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, Mr. Li, I think you can't hold your face, right?"
"I, hehe! How can I?"
Li Ronghao's face was righteous and awe-inspiring, but when he saw that Galen still had that expression that seemed to be smiling, he suddenly wilted, and said with a wry smile, "Hey! You can see it when you see it!
“……”
……
Early the next morning, Galen came to the company to record.
The first song recorded was "Love in the Past", the accompaniment was very good, and the company's new equipment was also very powerful, worthy of being bought at a large price.
A song was recorded for more than an hour, and a few sentences were revised and revised and pondered several times before finally achieving a satisfactory result.
During the break, Li Qing came over with two cups of coffee, handed Galen a cup, and said directly, "Yesterday, I studied and did the song "Chang'an Chang'an", I wanted to add the sound of horses' hooves and horses whistling in front of it, trying to create the feeling of the glorious atmosphere of ancient Chang'an, what do you think?"
"I don't think it's good!" Galen said directly.
"Why?"
Li Qing was a little surprised, but he didn't expect him to refuse so directly.
Galen had heard the original song, so he naturally had a preconceived impression in his heart, and in his opinion, the most shocking thing about this song was the original arrangement.
"I think it's better to use the local Qin dialect in the Northwest, and with the background music of Xintianyou, it can better reflect the flavor of the Northwest!"
After speaking, he saw Li Qing staring at him in a slight stunned manner, so he explained, "After all, the ancient battlefield of thousands of troops and horses is a long time away from the era we live in, and I still hope that this song can be closer to the current people of Chang'an!"
"Oh!" Li Qing thought for a while, called the assistant over, and told him to find the relevant music materials, as well as audio files.
After discussing other songs here, and resting for a while, the two of them went into the studio again to record the second song.
This time it was "Nunchucks", not only to record the lead singer, but also to record the backing singer and the supporting vocals, which were all Galen's work, and it took nearly two hours before it was completely completed.
Walking out of the recording studio again, it was already noon, and the two of them had a simple meal in the company's cafeteria, and returned to the rainy day music.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Qing's assistant greeted him, "Director, the materials and audio have been found!"
This assistant is quite efficient.
Li Qing immediately said, "Well, you go to dinner! I'll do it later!"
After the assistant left, Li Qing immersed himself in the pile of materials to study, and opened the audio files he found one by one to play, ignoring Galen beside him.
From this short contact, Galen also understood Li Qing's character, no matter how mean or rude, he just has low emotional intelligence and can't be sophisticated.
Such a person is generally straight, right is right, wrong is wrong, and he will not give face because of the identity of the other party.
The assistant listened to the Qin dialect fragments one after another, and Li Qing was very dissatisfied.
In the end, I had to look at Galen, "Why don't you change it to an old dialect?" It's also a Northwestern-style opera, and it's relatively niche!"
Galen shook his head and said, "That's it, I'll write a paragraph, and then find a Qin Yan teacher to help sing it!"
"What?" Li Qing was stunned, "You wrote it yourself?"
Galen didn't squeak, picked up the paper and pen on the table, and wrote down the words.
Li Qing took it and looked at it, stunned, then frowned deeply, and looked at Galen very suspiciously, "His eldest uncle and his second uncle are all his uncles? The high tables and low benches are all wood? What kind of nonsense are these words?
"This is a Qin-accented word!"
Galen explains, "The intro is accompanied by banhu and percussion to highlight the theme of the Qin dialect, and then this long whistle of the Qin dialect is followed by a gong and singing, and the effect is absolutely perfect!"
Although he is not from Shaanxi, his family lives on the edge of the Yellow River, and the other side is Qindi.
But after all, he is a young man, he has experienced few things, and he has listened to few songs, I don't know if anyone in the Qin dialect of this world has sung "Uncle He".
Li Qing still didn't believe it, and pushed the paper to Galen again, "I'll listen to you if you sing it once?"
"Are you really making me sing?" said Galen, laughing.
"Sing!" Li Qing said seriously.
"Then ......," Galen looked around, "I'll sing it to you when I go back to the studio, just in time for the recording!"
Li Qing didn't say a word, and the two immediately entered the recording studio.
If you let people in the industry know, you will definitely have to laugh at their extravagance and waste.
But when the song is fully made, everyone who hears it will probably drop their jaws in shock.
"Ahem!"
Galen cleared his throat and looked at Li Qing outside making an OK gesture, and as soon as the red indicator light above lit up, he opened his voice and yelled: "His uncle !!"
“Bloody-shit!”
Hearing Galen's voice, Li Qing was so frightened that he couldn't help but curse, and directly took off the headset and threw it aside, the whole person bounced up directly from the chair, and almost fell down when he retreated.
From such a distance, the roar coming from the headphones was still terrifying.
