Chapter 198: What's the Situation?

Li Dong was so busy in Kyoto that he hit the back of his head, but his main focus was on the recording studio of the Xinhua Song and Dance Troupe.

Producing a great piece of music requires the collaboration of many professionals, including composers, arrangers, singers, musicians, sound recordists, mixers, and more.

Although the recording process was hard, fortunately, the two of them had cooperated with the Xinhua Song and Dance Troupe, and the cooperation between the two sides was tacit.

The imperial military also gave him the greatest support, first of all, the Xinhua Song and Dance Troupe sent the strongest lineup, and a small symphony orchestra and choir were on standby.

Not only that, but they also sent the most professional production team to stay in the recording studio every day to assist Li Dong and Lao He in recording music.

These technicians of the Xinhua Song and Dance Troupe are indeed very professional, they are definitely the top level in the industry, and they also opened the eyes of Li Dong and Lao He.

To be honest, in the past, Li Dong and Li Guangnan just recorded some songs, which was really a few streets behind others.

Fortunately, there is Lao He, because he is at the Pujiang Conservatory of Music, and he often records on a different scale, that is, he can cope with such a situation.

If Li Dong and Li Guangnan were replaced, they would have to be scared to pee in the face of such a big scene.

Recording on this scale is very demanding for production personnel.

From designing the recording plan, wiring, selecting the microphone, placing the position, and then to the start, to the pre-recording, and finally to the post-repair, there are many details that can be polished in the middle of the whole line

For example, a professional sound engineer can not only be familiar with the operating software, and then can "press 3".

Professional recording engineers also need to understand acoustics, they need to be familiar with all kinds of microphones, and they need to know how to place the microphones, and they also know how to pick up sounds.

As the operator of the equipment, the recording engineer must understand the composer's intentions, not only to operate the equipment, but also to carefully observe the musician's performance during the recording process, so this job is very tiring.

Especially when it comes to recording large strings and brass, it is definitely an extremely time-consuming and laborious task.

After all, it's not as simple as simply recording a song, because there are so many things, and everyone's aesthetics are basically the same.

Before recording, as a creator, Li Dong should explain his creative intentions to all the people involved in the production as much as possible.

And throughout the recording process, everyone often needs to have a fierce introduction and polishing, and the intensity is very high, and the pace is not very fast.

Several expert consultants from the Military Art Center also accompanied the whole process, and the main creative staff of several crews also often came, making the main control room of the recording studio often overcrowded.

There is no way, the imperial military attaches great importance to the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the founding of the army, and it is also very urgent, which also puts a lot of pressure on Li Dong and all the other personnel involved in the recording.

Everyone can only get up early and be busy in the dark, and the biological clock is so messy in the morning, basically they are sleepy and find a place to squint for a while, and when they are hungry, they will pad a box lunch.

In just ten days, Li Dong and Lao He were both bearded, and their faces were pale, and they were almost gone.

Not only them, but all the staff involved in the recording are similar, and the workload is very heavy every day.

Fortunately, the teams involved in the recording are all members of the military establishment, which is considered a disciplined force, and the orders issued by the superiors must be completed to the letter.

The logistics of the Xinhua Song and Dance Troupe were very effective at that time.

The buildings around the studio, all the vacant offices and rooms, were converted into makeshift lounges.

Moreover, a small canteen has been set up to provide hot meals for 20 hours, and a medical team is on standby at any time to provide all-round protection.

After everyone's efforts, the recording of the four pieces is finally coming to an end, and the next work is to modify and make up for some deficiencies, and strengthen the excellent ones.

Although the process was arduous, Li Dong and others were very satisfied with the recording effect.

After all, the equipment of the Xinhua Song and Dance Troupe's recording studio is the top in the world, and the professional and technical personnel involved in the recording are also the most professional in the empire, and the level of the band and choir members involved in the recording is also the highest level in this time and space.

Today, Li Dong stayed up for more than ten hours, and finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He found a sofa next to him and fell asleep, but if there was something in his heart, he couldn't sleep at all, so he only slept for more than two hours before waking up.

He sat up from the couch for a moment, rubbed his sleepy eyes, then got up and walked into the main control room next to him.

It's already past ten o'clock, and the people involved in the recording are waking up one after another.

Lao He stayed up all night, and at this time he was wearing headphones and a group of technicians working in front of the main console.

During this time, he was also burned, his hair was messy, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He turned his head to see Li Dong, and said with a smile: "Dongzi, why don't you sleep for a while......"

Li Dong shook his head and said, "I have to be able to sleep too...... Big brother, you've stayed up all night, go sleep for a while......"

"It's okay, I'll be busy for a while...... Finally we're done, and we're almost free...... Haha......"

The people around listened to Lao He's words, and they were all very excited, this time really tired them, and now the recording work will be successfully completed in two more days.

At this time, several generals and colonels walked in from outside.

For such a situation, Li Dong and Lao He have long been surprised.

They are all leaders of the Xinhua Song and Dance Troupe, and during this time, they will come and walk every morning to encourage everyone's morale and care for everyone's life.

Even several high-ranking officials of the Propaganda Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs will often appear in the recording studio to express their condolences to everyone.

The group of people who participated in the recording were all from the imperial military system, so whenever the leaders inspected and condoled, they had to stand up and salute very seriously.

Li Dong and Lao He are not from the military, of course, they don't need to be so nervous, at most they nod at them, which can be regarded as a greeting.

Several leaders of the song and dance troupe didn't mind, and every time they came over, they had to chat with Li Dong cordially.

The people in the military don't dare to slack off on Li Dong, but they are the works submitted by the eldest princess of the empire, and they are also hand-picked by the old marshal of the empire, if Li Dong has no background, no one will believe it.

After all, the leader still has a lot of work to do, and he will leave after staying for a while.

But today, as soon as they wanted to leave, they saw an officer hurriedly run into the recording studio and whisper a few words in the ear of the first major general.

The major general's face suddenly became solemn.

He shouted loudly: "It's all there, stand upright...... Dressing up ......"

The people in the recording studio, except for Li Dong and Lao He, all the rest of them quickly stood up, and then began to sort out their clothes.

A few shirtless people hurriedly ran back to the house, quickly put on a shirt, and then returned to the main control room.

Only Li Dong and Lao He were confused, what is the situation, is there any big man who wants to come over.
