Chapter 510: Polishing
After deciding on the direction, the two began to discuss the song officially.
This time, the twelve album songs are all inspired and created by Lin Qihua in various experiences, from which you can clearly see the changes in his thoughts and perceptions.
Xu Weiting was full of praise for this, thinking that Lin Qihua's thinking has risen to a higher level, with more thinking about life and human nature, and the songs have humanistic values and the temperament of a work of art.
"A song, an album, only the refinement and sublimation of a certain feeling, to a certain extent, can really move people's minds and guide people's thoughts.
This is already the realm of art, just like the level of the artist, and the song has its own level.
The classics are the superstars in the songs, which can be met but not sought, and once they appear, they will definitely cause a huge impact.
It's like the so-called realm of superstars, classics that can move anyone. ”
Xu Weiting briefly explained to Lin Qihua and spoke highly of his works.
"Compared to your previous works, you've thoroughly found your style, and there are still a variety of different styles on this album.
There are rock, there are folk songs, there are Chinese style, there are also delicate love songs, there are high notes and shallow chanting and low singing.
This is a huge test for you, how to use your own way, different styles of songs, and so that everyone can be moved. ”
Sure enough, he is worthy of being a gold medal producer, pointing out Lin Qihua, who needs to be challenged and polished.
"That's what I mean, I hope the teacher will give me more guidance. Lin Qihua said seriously, "I can't sing one style to the end like everyone else, so let all the styles become my own style, this is the path I chose." ”
"I'm looking forward to your performance and the success of this album, because in my opinion, if it can be successfully produced, this album will probably become a classic.
Whether it is the quality of the songs, or the highly unified context of the whole album, as well as the ideology and artistry expressed, it is rare to see. ”
"That's why I specifically asked you to do it, only you can make this album reach the height I need. ”
"Since you want to do it, I will naturally sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman. Xu Weiting smiled heartily and shrugged, "Anyway, I'm ready to lay the floor here." ”
"I'm the same, I'm ready to retreat, and if I don't succeed, I won't go out. Lin Qihua pointed to the cover in the corner, looking resolute.
"Let's get started. Xu Weiting was high-spirited, "I have done a good job in the early stage of most songs, you listen carefully first, put forward your own opinions, and I will also do a good job in arranging your recent works." ”
"Okay, you've worked hard. Lin Qihua nodded, followed his instructions, clicked on the arrangement he made, and felt it carefully.
With the passage of time, Lin Qihua's knowledge of music theory has become richer and more sensitive to melody, which allows him to add his own understanding and further optimize it in addition to referring to the inspiration in his mind when composing.
The various analysis and comments in my mind have helped a lot, and at the same time, Lin Qihua's appreciation level has improved a lot, and at the same time, I have a deeper understanding of the song, understand its advantages and disadvantages, and be able to optimize it in a targeted manner.
This is also the ability that he has mastered after a long period of continuous learning, if it was before, even if he knew, he could not do anything to it.
This shows that he is still making rapid progress and his ability is improving rapidly. He believes that one day, he will reach the heights of the original creators of these songs and create his own classic songs.
Now, he can understand the arrangement made by Xu Weiting, and has his own understanding and opinions.
He had to listen to each song carefully and repeatedly several times to understand the various details, and then write down his thoughts and opinions, and communicate with Xu Weiting later.
By the time he had finished listening to all the songs, the day had passed.
"How?" Xu Weiting, who also completed the pre-production of other songs, asked with a smile.
"It's great, it basically fits my creative intentions. Lin Qihua looked at him with admiration, this is the level of gold medal production.
"It's not that exaggerated, I know that there are still a lot of flaws that need to be carefully polished to meet our requirements.
If you have any opinions, just put them forward, and we will solve them one by one. ”
"Okay. Lin Qihua was not polite, took the notebook full of his own records, and began to seriously discuss every detail with Xu Weiting.
"It seems that you are really thinking about it. Xu Weiting was surprised by his various opinions, from which he could feel that Lin Qihua's understanding of songs and production had improved greatly.
Even as a producer alone, it's qualified.
Lin Qihua's every opinion is very important, and it goes deep into every detail, many of them, and even he can't see it, Lin Qihua explained it carefully before he understood.
"For songs, it's all about excellence, hasn't the teacher always asked for this?" Lin Qihua said with a smile.
"That's right, I'm looking forward to the album now. ”
Xu Weiting smiled excitedly and cheered up, "Come on, let's polish it well." ”
"Yes, teacher. ”
The preparatory work in the early stage was very torturous and very mentally draining, and the two fulfilled their promise to eat and live in the recording studio, without leaving the recording studio for half a step.
Every day, I am immersed in music, I fall asleep on the bed cover when I am sleepy, I am hungry, I pick up the lunch box sent by someone to eat, and the rest of the time, I devote myself to work.
The so-called, if you don't go crazy, you can't live, the two have completely become music maniacs, and their minds are full of things related to music and albums, and they ignore everything else.
Such a state also makes the progress of the album extremely fast.
By the fifth day, the arrangement of the entire album had been completed, and the effect made both of them very satisfied.
"Okay, take a break, and I'm ready to record tomorrow. Xu Weiting smiled with satisfaction.
"Yes, teacher, hard work. Lin Qihua was also very satisfied, and fell asleep.
Next, it's time for his own battle.
The next day, Lin Qihua carefully sorted out his personal hygiene and started the recording work in high spirits.
Xu Weiting sat next to the recorder and kept giving him tips on how to express a song.
Of course, as a creator, I have heard the original song of the song hundreds of times in my mind, and Lin Qihua is already confident about singing.
However, this can only help Lin Qihua better deduce, and the real effect still needs Lin Qihua to experience and express it with his heart.
Xu Weiting showed no mercy at all, and where he was not satisfied, he stopped directly, directly pointed out his mistakes, and asked to start again.
He has sensitive ears and can quickly detect even a small mistake by Lin Qihua.
He is strict and does not allow the slightest blemish.
Therefore, Lin Qihua experienced the feeling of being in pain, and was constantly shouted to stop and asked to sing again.
You know, it's not just a matter of singing it again, it's also about brewing feelings and maintaining them in that good state.
It's a big challenge.
The biggest challenge lies in the unity of so many songs, the style is different, Lin Qihua wants to make all the songs his own as soon as he listens to them, and it is very difficult to capture the hearts of the audience when he listens to them.
Therefore, no matter how high Xu Weiting's requirements are, Lin Qihua must grit his teeth to achieve them, only in this way can he really sing the songs well and truly polish himself successfully.
Yes, this is polishing the song, and why not polishing himself.
As time went by, Lin Qihua could feel that he had made significant progress, and his control of the songs became more comfortable and at ease.
Xu Weiting's time to scold is getting less and less, because there are fewer and fewer mistakes.
In his eyes, Lin Qihua was fading the greenness on his body and becoming radiant, and there was something inexplicable that began to breed in him.
Xu Weiting, who is experienced, knows that this thing, called the field, is the mark of a superstar.
Obviously, Lin Qihua has found a breakthrough and began to produce his own field.
"But it's a pity, this time it can't be a breakthrough. Xu Weiting said regretfully, "I can only say that I have found a way, and the real breakthrough can only be reached in reality." ”
He didn't expect that he would bring out two superstars, one is Gao Jun, the first person in the music scene today, who is more important than the world-famous Zhang Jingwen.
One is the first person in the future music scene, Chinese music, the real future.
"I have no regrets in this life. Xu Weiting smiled happily, "Let you replace me and conquer this world." ”
Lin Qihua didn't know what was going on on with him, but his understanding and control of the song suddenly improved a lot, and his efficiency became higher.
Xu Weiting didn't scold anymore, but in terms of details, he picked out more detail, hoping to improve some aspects.
The tacit understanding between the two made the recording of the album smoother, and the effect was more obvious.
Finally, after more than 20 days of retreat, the album was recorded.
"Good work. Xu Weiting clapped his hands and smiled, "This album will definitely satisfy you." ”
"The teacher has worked hard. Lin Qihua bowed deeply, "Thank you for your efforts." ”
"Hmm. Xu Weiting accepted the courtesy calmly, he deserved it.
"The time is just right, let's get ready to participate in the Fuxi Award. ”
He smiled, "Believe me, this album will definitely amaze everyone, and it will definitely become a very important album in your career as a singer." ”
"Okay, thank you, teacher. Lin Qihua thanked him again, "I also think that this will be my most important album so far."
I can feel that I have made great progress and achieved my goals. ”
"Yes. Xu Weiting replied with a smile, "Go ahead, that stage needs you." ”
"Yes. ”
