Chapter XVIII

Lin Yun sat in front of the mixer with a stinky face, looking at the two people and two cats in the recording studio in front of him.

He is one of the best recording engineers in Dumpling Rain and has a lot of experience in recording.

Although he has recorded many strange experimental works for a group of strange people in the Dumpling Rain studio, and can be regarded as having seen all kinds of situations, he is still very puzzled by the current situation in the studio.

Didn't you say you had to record it well?

What the hell are those two cats playing and singing in it?

I remember that when I first started recording, Chen Tao also recorded the guitar accompaniment alone in the recording studio according to his proposal. Chen Tao's guitar playing skills are naturally too good to say, and this accompaniment is quite simple, and it was recorded in three or two clicks.

But when the two cats entered the studio, the situation suddenly got out of control.

The big cat called "Noodle Piece" opened his mouth and "meowed" a whole melody. Although the pitch was slightly lacking, it was definitely a melody.

No need for sampling and editing, no need for splicing, this meow is really singing, a piece of molding!

Is this still just a meow!

Lin Yun was confused. He wanted to rush in to see if the cat had been modified or had some high-tech gadgets installed. Otherwise, how can a cat sing a complete melody without collecting their calls, editing and splicing their calls and other post-processing methods!

Before he could put this idea into action, the kid named Chu Lei had already rushed in and ravaged the noodles. Chen Tao stood aside with his hands crossed, looking at Chu Lei very sadly.

After a period of tinkering, Chu Lei didn't find anything unusual on the noodles. The dough piece is a very original cat, no artificial modification, and no equipment added.

This meow is going to heaven!

Lin Yun sighed. Looking at Li Lan next to him, his eyes are peach-shaped, he looks like he was conquered by two cute things, and he looks like he is shooting wildly with video equipment, he can fully predict that when this MV is released, it will definitely blow up the entire Cape Federation, and countless people will be crazy about it.

It's sure to become a classic. Of course, he finished the recording of this song with the mentality of full firepower.

But now, Chen Tao no longer uses the pre-recorded accompaniment, and asks to stay in the recording studio with the two cats, and play the guitar to accompany the two cats on the spot. The reason is that with Chen Tao accompanying the accompaniment in the recording studio, the mood of the two cats will be more high-pitched, and the recording effect will be better.

All right. After comparing the effect of direct playback accompaniment and Chen Tao's live performance recording, it is indeed the latter that the mood and state of the two cats are better. Since the recording effect is better in this way, Lin Yun also recognized it.

But Chu Lei, a guy who had nothing to do, rushed into the recording studio opposite the film to check his body and then didn't leave, and he was stunned to let Chen Tao adapt the accompaniment and reserve space for him to sing, what the hell is the situation when he has to sing with the two little ones!

and Chen Tao, who didn't say a word, really overturned the original arrangement, and made up a new accompaniment on the spot, and really made up Chu Lei's singing.

So the two of them got together, constantly discussed and revised the arrangement, recorded it, auditioned the effect and discussed the modification again, and then overturned the previous arrangement, and then revised and recorded.

Lin Yun repeatedly reminded these two goods that revising the arrangement should not be carried out in the recording studio. The way they hastily revised and recorded at the same time was a fool's errand! It was even a desecration of what was bound to become a classic!

But Chen Tao didn't care. He also comforted Lin Yun, saying that there will be more and more classics. This song is used as a practice for everyone.

Lin Yun suddenly cried and fainted, and his heart in the recording studio was there. He couldn't understand why this classic children's song was no different from the cabbage in the vegetable market in Chen Tao's mouth, and it was even set up as a work for hand practice. This...... It's so violent!

Lin Yun burst into tears in his heart. Helplessly, Chen Tao insisted on the attitude of "I am the master of my works", and Lin Yun did not want to give up the opportunity to participate in the recording of classic works, so he had to swallow all kinds of persuasion back into his stomach.

After repeated revisions, Chen Tao and Chu Lei finally finalized the accompaniment arrangement and singing method. The recording of "Two Cats" was completed in the strange way of Chen Tao playing the guitar on the spot, dough pieces as the lead singer, Chu Lei as the deputy lead singer, and small dumplings messing into the backing vocals.

However, the two cats played and sang in the recording studio together, and there were a lot of noise defects in the recorded sound on the spot, which brought a lot of difficulties to the post-processing. Lin Yun tried his best, processing each sound frame by frame.

And Li Lan filmed a lot of material in the recording studio, and Chen Tao handed over the video recorded at home to her. After confirming the duration of the whole song with Lin Yun, she devoted herself to the production of the music video of "Two Cats".

Chen Tao and Chu Lei were not idle as melon eaters. He hugged two small ones, followed Lin Yun and Li Lan respectively, and participated in the production process. In the scene that others can't hear or see, Ermeng directs the noodles to sing all day. At this time, he was not idle, pulling Chen Tao's ears and pointing to make various modifications.

By 11 p.m., the four of them had gathered together to finalize the final version. "Two Cats" is finally finished.

Chen Tao and Chu Lei did not sign a contract with Dumpling Rain Studio, so naturally they could not use Dumpling Rain's resources to promote and release on the official platform. After all, Dumpling Rain is a registered entertainment company, no matter how free the rules and regulations and work style are, the signing and release of works must also be operated according to the official filing and review procedures, and the process that should be followed still has to be followed.

But just going through the process, to say the least, it will take three to five days. Two days have passed since Chen Tao's hidden mission, and there are only five days left to complete the mission. If you spend more time on the process, Chen Tao really can't afford it.

After thanking Lin Yun and Li Lan, Chen Tao called the night. I didn't pick it up. Chen Tao estimated that she was still busy, so he left her a voice message to thank her for her help.

With the only version of the remix master tape of "Two Cats", Chen Tao and Chu Lei walked out of the door of Dumpling Rain. When I looked up, the sky was full of stars.

Chen Tao took out his mobile phone. I still haven't received a reply or phone call from Grandpa Xu Ding.

"Taozi, when do you plan to release "Two Cats"?" Chu Lei asked casually while holding the noodles.

Chen Tao replied without thinking, "Tonight." I will send it when I get home. ”

Chu Lei nodded. As long as Chen Tao makes a decision, he will only support it.

"By the way, I've already told my cousin to ask him to check your car accident file. I also contacted the group of private investigators who helped my mother check on my father, and entrusted them to help investigate what happened back then. I'll let you know when there's news. Chu Lei said, seeing Chen Tao nodding his head to indicate that he understood, he put the dough sheet on his shoulder, like a shiny fur scarf, rubbed his chin against its hairy head, and asked softly: "Taozi, the dough is really good at singing." ”

Ermengtuan sat on Chen Tao's shoulder, and watched Chu Lei's chin occupy the big head of the noodle piece that he liked to sit on the most.

Chen Tao carried an empty basket, hugged the small dumplings in his arms, and said with a smile: "Didn't you hear it?" ”

Chu Lei nodded, and sighed incredulously: "The noodle can even sing songs, what if one day it speaks to people?"

Chen Tao was happy, shook his head and said, "How do I feel that what you say is not like human words." Dare not be normal, the noodles are a real cat, and it is impossible to speak human words. ”

"Yesterday I wasn't convinced that Dough was a cat and couldn't learn to sing, so I made a bet with you. Chu Lei depressedly held up the noodles in front of his eyes, and said to the noodles seriously: "It's only been a day." Why do you know how to sing!, tell me honestly, did Taozi cast some spell on you!"

"Aren't you naΓ―ve!" Chen Tao looked at Chu Lei with disgust, stretched out his hand to scratch the chin of the noodles, and said with a flash of inspiration: "But...... The dough can't speak, but I can make it learn to communicate with us. ”

"This ...... Impossible, right?" Chu Lei hesitated.

Chen Tao smiled evilly: "Why don't we make another bet?"

"Don't bet! you're just a hanging!" Chu Lei shook his head quite resolutely.

"Don't bet on pulling down, but you were the one we lost in the bet before. When are you going to ask out the little junior sister who sent you a love letter...... Hey, what are you running...... I'm not done yet! Stop me! Don't think about it......
