Chapter 10 Preparation for Recording
Parking lot in front of DSP Building......
Li Xianhao was sitting in the car with his eyes closed and recuperating, when someone suddenly knocked on his car window, and Li Xianhao opened his eyes to see that it was Li Xiaoli, whom he had been waiting for for a long time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It turned out that Li Xianhao received a call from Lee Hyo-ri early this morning, asking him to wait in front of the DSP building in the afternoon, and she would take him to Cui Junrong's studio.
"I'm sorry, I just went to shoot a group of pictorials, I've been waiting for a long time."
Because the company temporarily arranged for himself to take a few sets of photos, Li Xianhao waited here alone for nearly an hour, and Li Xiaoli felt very embarrassed.
"It's okay, I just made up for sleep, I was still a little sleepy, but now I'm much better." Li Xianhao naturally won't blame her for anything, after all, thanks to the help of others this time, Cui Junrong will agree to help produce and release this song.
"Hehe, then let's hurry up and record a song, by the way, I haven't asked before, how is your singing skills, don't run over and embarrass me today."
Li Xianhao did not answer Li Xiaoli's question, but pretended to be mysterious and said:
"You'll see, you'll be amazed."
"Cut, you know bragging."

Through Lee Hyo-ri's guidance, they eventually came to an office building in Seoul.
"Mr. Choi Jun-young is a famous music producer in South Korea, and my next album has been confirmed to be produced by him, so you must pay attention to etiquette when you go in, you know?"
"Nuna, don't worry, I've always paid attention to etiquette."
Lee Xianhao had already checked Choi Junrong's information before he came, there are too many classics that have come out of his hands, and he is recognized as a heatmaker in South Korea, and he is very relieved that he will be the producer of his single.
After walking into the studio, Li Xianhao looked around, the decoration was very simple, with some musical instruments and framed black records hanging on the wall, which made a strong artistic atmosphere.
Then a handsome-looking middle-aged man walked out of the office, it was Cui Junrong himself, and Li Xiaoli immediately pulled Li Xianhao forward to say hello.
"Hello teacher, this is Li Xianhao I mentioned to you before."
"Hello teacher, I'm Li Xianhao." Li Xianhao also bowed very respectfully.
Cui Junrong waved his hand and said very casually:
"Hehe, don't be too restrained here, relax a little, the equipment inside has been debugged, let's go in and talk, by the way, I'll give you the arrangement, it's been completely changed according to your intentions, simple piano accompaniment plus string paving, you look at it and you're not satisfied."
Li Xianhao didn't expect Cui Junrong to have no shelf at all, so he said happily:
"Teacher, I have no doubt about your professional ability, but I have no experience in recording in the studio, so I really have to trouble the teacher to give me more guidance."
"Hehe, let's go, let's go in."
This is the first time Li Xianhao has walked into the recording studio, he has only seen it on TV before, and it is much simpler than he imagined, that is, two small rooms, the inner room is isolated from noise, used to record the singer's voice, and the outer room is the producer's territory, and they control the song through the center console.
A successful song not only requires the perfect interpretation of the singer, but also inseparable from the post-production of the musician, just like the editing of a variety show, which integrates interesting clips together, and the producer also integrates a variety of musical instruments and musical elements into a song, and each note has to be repeatedly scrutinized.
But often everyone only pays attention to the singer who performs, and ignores the efforts of songwriters and producers, who are actually the hardest and most important.
After Choi Junrong operated in front of the computer for a while, a sample of a song with a hum sounded, and Lee Hyo-ri also heard the song for the first time, and his first impression was sadness, and the indescribable sadness was suppressed in his chest until the end of the song.
After playing it again, Cui Junhao said to Li Xianhao:
"The original singer of this song is Mika Nakajima, so we have reduced the key while the melody remains the same, the original guitar accompaniment, we have also adapted it into the current piano accompaniment according to your hope, with strings to pave the foundation, and add percussion at the beginning of the second section of the singing, and there will be guitars, flutes and other instruments in the middle to enrich it, simple enough."
"It's just that after the flat, I don't know if it's suitable for your vocal range, let's talk about whether you have any thoughts after listening, let's discuss it."
Li Xianhao listened very carefully, and tried to recall the version performed by Park Hyo-shin, wanting to see if there were any serious discrepancies, and finally found that Choi Junrong perfectly digested some of his requirements for the arrangement at that time, so he basically restored the song.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with the singing, the chorus part, and I don't need to change it, but I have some ideas for the prelude."
Cui Junrong thought that Li Xianhao didn't understand music, and letting him make suggestions was also meant to show respect, but he didn't expect the other party to understand a little music, so he was also curious about his thoughts.
"Tell me about it."
Li Xianhao sorted out his thoughts a little, and then said to Cui Junrong:
"Can you make the first 4 bars of the prelude into a music box sound, and then add a guitar to a sub-spin, and then enter the piano accompaniment after the end?"
Lee Hyori was stupid when he heard it.
Didn't he say he didn't graduate in music? How do you understand so much'.
Cui Junrong thought about it seriously, simulated the possibility of this adaptation in his mind, and then his eyes lit up, and he immediately sat on the electronic piano next to him to tune the sound effect of the music box, played it, and showed an excited expression after playing it again, let the assistant sit on the mixer, and walked into the recording studio with the guitar in his arms.
This is the case with musicians, once they enter their own world, their perception of the outside world is almost zero, and it is precisely because of this state of selflessness that they can make music that resonates with people.
Choi Jun-young is now completely immersed in the production, constantly communicating with the assistant through gestures inside, and Lee Hyo-ri and Lee Seon-ho are left to dry.
"You don't mean you didn't study music? How do you feel more proficient than many majors? Li Xiaoli took advantage of the opportunity that no one paid attention to them, and hurriedly pulled Li Xianhao to question.
"I studied piano when I was a child, and it was my idea to adapt this song, so I had already imagined the effect of the song, and if you want me to say that I don't understand anything else."
Li Xiaoli let Li Xianhao go suspiciously, but the advice he put forward was actually based on the original song, that is, the memory of his previous life, and he didn't come up with it himself at all.
After Cui Junrong came out of the recording studio, he returned to the mixer, and after operating on the computer for a while, he said to Li Xianhao and them:
"Li Xianhaoxi, let's listen to whether this is what you mean."
Listening to the familiar melody again, Li Xianhao said excitedly.
"yes, that's what it feels like."
"Hehe, I have to admit Li Xianhaoxi, this adaptation of yours is really a stroke of genius, making the already very sad song more picturesque, and now even I am looking forward to the recording effect, you can take a look at this lyrics, I made some small changes to the version you sent me, you are familiar with it, wait a minute, let's record the first square first."
Thinking that he could start recording immediately, Li Xianhao's mood was also very excited, and he was finally going to have a music work of his own, and Li Xiaoli on the side was also looking forward to it, the song had been heard, but he hadn't heard Li Xianhao open his voice, and he didn't know what kind of timbre it was, after all, many people's voices and singing voices are completely different. ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
