Chapter 35: Recording a Single
After lunch, Meng Fanzhu followed everyone to the recording studio, this recording studio must be the most upscale in Songjiang, in recent years, Sun Weichang has not invested less in this area, but unfortunately there are no excellent works, so this year the studio has completely given up those professional musicians who do not produce works, and turned to the development of universities, hoping to discover a few excellent singer-songwriters from universities.
Meng Fanzhu's three works are all excellent works just by looking at the lyrics, which is no less than discovering a gold mine in Sun Weichang's eyes, not to mention that it is a brother's son, and his own son is almost the same, that is, he is proud and sighs that Lao Meng's luck has such a talented son. So whether it is copyright registration and recording, or even online communication, it is all taken care of, if it weren't for Lao Meng saying that Meng Fanzhu currently has no idea of entering the music industry to develop, he would like to sign a contract directly as his singer-songwriter today. But if you don't sign it today, it doesn't mean that you won't sign it in the future, while this kid hasn't arrived at BJ yet, you have to get this thing done during the summer vacation, you can't let the fat around you run away, Sun Weichang has decided to sign Meng Fanzhu to his studio no matter what, even if it's just a name.
The recording engineer is ready and is waiting for Meng Fanzhu. Seeing Mr. Sun and the others coming in, he immediately stood up, "Mr. Sun, everything is ready, and the time has been set aside this afternoon." ”
Sun Weichang nodded with satisfaction, "Binzi, I don't have to worry about your work, come, I'll introduce you to today's singer." Saying that, he put his arm around Meng Fanzhu's shoulder, "Duoduo, this is Guo Bin, the gold medal recording engineer of my studio, you can call him Brother Bin, he is a highly talented student who graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music." ”
Meng Fanzhu took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "Brother Bin, hello, I'm sorry for you today." "If you want to be respected, you have to respect others. Most of the people who have no one in their eyes all day are less than half a bottle, and the bottle is shaking. The real masters are approachable, not only to be recognized by the public, but also to be a manifestation of their own self-cultivation.
Sun Weichang then said, "Binzi, this kid's name is Meng Fanzhu, he is my eldest nephew, you use more heart today, and the three songs recorded in a while are all composed by himself." After explaining, I sat in the waiting area with my father and Lu Yuanyuan to chat, and the assistant had already helped make the tea.
When Binzi heard that it was Meng Fanzhu's original song to be recorded, he was secretly amused, thinking that most of it was because the rich young master liked music and wrote it indiscriminately, but he thought it was a masterpiece, and when he finished recording two sentences of flattery, he had a good fate. On the surface, he showed a look of admiration, "I wrote three songs at once at such a young age, which is amazing." ”
Meng Fanzhu didn't know Guo Bin's true thoughts, so he said a few words modestly and asked, "Brother Bin, my three are guitar playing and singing, please prepare an acoustic guitar for me." ”
"No problem, the acoustic guitar is ready-made, you tune it down yourself, and then heat up your throat. As soon as Binzi waved his hand, the recording assistant ran to get the guitar with a look in his eyes, and Guo Bin continued, "Let's record separately for a while, first record the guitar accompaniment, and then you take the headset and record the song again." ”
"Okay, Brother Bin, this is your territory, listen to you. Meng Fanzhu has no opinion, it must be right to leave professional things to professional people.
After the guitar was brought, Meng Fanzhu briefly tried the tone, and after no problem, he said to Guo Bin, "Brother Bin, I can do it, let's start recording accompaniment." ”
Guo Bin nodded, and asked the assistant to put the acoustic guitar on the street data cable, and the modified acoustic guitar can be recorded internally, which is a better recording effect.
Meng Fanzhu walked into the recording room, sat on the stool, adjusted the lower angle, found a comfortable position, made an OK gesture to Guo Bin, and began to play "Life with You", the prelude together, Guo Bin was calmed in a few seconds, and the euphemistic and sad tune was particularly infectious, and it suddenly brought people to the artistic conception of melancholy for love.
Dad heard it, and although he still enjoyed it, he was no longer shocked. But Sun Weichang and Lu Yuanyuan had only read the lyrics, and when they heard the guitar accompaniment for the first time, the beautiful melody immediately attracted their attention, and none of the three of them spoke, they were all quietly appreciating.
Soon the accompaniment of "Life with You" ended, Guo Bin excitedly made an OK gesture to Meng Fanzhu, representing a pass, and then a thumbs up, Meng Fanzhu responded with a smile, and then started the second "Big Dreamer" accompaniment recording, which is a vigorous inspirational song, and the bright and exciting melody makes everyone's blood boil. Everyone comes from a teenager, some people have always insisted on their dreams, and some people have gradually given up their dreams because of reality, but no matter what, everyone has their own dreams, this is the vitality of this song, to charge those who pursue their dreams, and to inspire those who give up their dreams. is also a one-time pass, Guo Bin is already shocked, not two at once, but the quality of these two accompaniments is too high, Songjiang original, at least there is nothing that can be compared with these two originals in the originals he has contacted. Compare OK again, start the third song "Where Has Time Gone" recording, this song about family love, the style is plain and soothing, after hearing this song, everyone is not as amazing as the first two, but I think it is very good, like a trickle, no waves.
After successfully completing the recording of the accompaniment music, Guo Bin motioned to Meng Fanzhu to take a break, and he wanted to simply process the recorded accompaniment. Meng Fanzhu walked out of the recording room, Sun Weichang immediately walked over and put his arm around Meng Fanzhu's shoulder, "Okay, boy, the arrangement is really good, I was worried just now, such good lyrics, if the song can't keep up, it will be ruined, and now it seems to be a superfluous move." How about putting up an order in my uncle's music room and being a contracted singer-songwriter? After Sun Weichang heard the music, he couldn't wait. Guo Bin was shocked by Sun Weichang's words again, the conditions are set, the weight of these four words is more than 1,000 jun.
Meng Fanzhu was also taken aback by Sun Weichang's words and looked at his father. Dad motioned for him to make his own decision, thought about it and said, "Uncle Sun, it's okay to sign a contract." After glancing at Sun Weichang's happy face, he continued, "But at present, I have no plans to enter the music industry for the time being, so I will use the stage name of bamboo first." First of all, I was only responsible for writing and recording the songs, and I didn't want to show up, so the studio had to keep my identity confidential, which was the most important thing. Second, the copyright belongs to me. Third, the promotion and operation belong to the studio, I don't interfere, and the income can be according to the normal contract ratio. Fourth, let's sign for 1 year first, and then renew it in 1 year. Is that okay?"
Lu Yuanyuan looked at Meng Fanzhu, who had clear regulations and talked eloquently, and deeply felt that the hero was a teenager. patted his dad and gave him a thumbs up. Dad's expression was so proud, thinking that this is his own species, of course it's excellent!
Sun Weichang didn't think about it at all, but deliberately sold it, "Except for revenue sharing, everything else is fine." ”
"It's up to you to divide it into Uncle Sun. "Meng Fanzhu himself is a temperament that values love over money.
"Haha, it's worthy of being my eldest nephew, I mean you just need to name the music studio on your work, and all the proceeds will belong to you, Uncle Sun doesn't want it, what Uncle Sun wants is fame, understand?" Sun Weichang patted Meng Fanzhu on the shoulder and laughed, this child is really angry with himself, money is a fart, with talent and social resources, money will come over by itself like a moth to a fire.
Meng Fanzhu pushed for a long time, and finally at Sun Weichang's insistence, he agreed, and his own staff went to draw up the contract.
At this time, Guo Bin had already arranged the accompaniment, Meng Fanzhu walked into the recording studio again, brought a headset, first hummed a few words of song by himself, looked for a feeling, and then compared the OK gesture.
The waiting area is equipped with a public speaker, which can simultaneously play the accompaniment and record the sound, which is actually the sound of the recording engineer's headphones to be released, the price of the equipment is not cheap, and it is not necessary to be normal enough, but when you meet Sun Weichang, a local tyrant, you can buy the equipment and don't let go. It just so happens that this time you can enjoy Meng Fanzhu's song for the first time.
Meng Fanzhu's advanced singing ability is very good, and the naked voice is so beautiful that Guo Bin can't believe it, he repeatedly confirmed that his settings are correct, and he is completely convinced, this is a magical teenager, and the three songs are over and over again! This is amazing, except for the first-line powerful singers, no one can do it once.
After the singing and accompaniment were coordinated, the power of "Where Has the Time Gone" was brought into play, the delicate lyrics and soothing rhythm had a chemical reaction, which hit the hearts of the people, Lu Yuanyuan burst into tears when he heard it, Sun Weichang was also emotional, and he couldn't help but run out to call his parents when he heard half of it.
The recording is all over, and the rest is the post-production, Meng Fanzhu asked Guo Bin to help add some drum beats, and when the mixing effect came out, he generated an MP3 format for himself. Guo Bin agreed, patted his chest and said that it was on him, this is the best original song he has recorded in recording, he plans to carve it carefully, and it will take about a week for three songs.
When the contract was brought, my father helped me read it, and Meng Fanzhu signed his name. Since this moment, Meng Fanzhu has started his legendary musical journey.
