Chapter 219: Recording Completed
"Why, I like to eat these things the most, Chen Jian will help me find someone to get them."
Chen Lang had already seen the chicken, fish, and duck eggs in the hands of these uncles and aunts, and he didn't want to accept them, after all, everyone looked at the family, and they were not very rich.
But I thought that everyone didn't know how far they had gone to send it in person, and if they didn't accept it, I was afraid that these people would not be sure, so they had to accept it.
Chen Jian, Yu Song and others all came up to take the chickens, ducks, fish and eggs in the hands of uncles and aunts, and Chen Lang also lifted a basket of eggs and said, "Thank you, thank you!" ”
"You still have to go to class, so we'll go back first, anyway, thank you very much."
"I also thank you for coming in person, I like what you send, thank you uncles and aunts." Chen Lang thanked everyone.
In Chen Lang's thanks, these uncles and aunts left with a reassuring smile, Chen Lang looked back and saw that everyone was carrying a basket or bag in their hands.
"What about these things?" Chen Jian looked at the duck in the bag and asked.
Chen Lang also had a headache when he heard this, his family couldn't eat so much, and there was no place to put these things at home.
"I think it's better to give it to the school cafeteria, and you can treat all of us to lunch today." Tang Xiaomei suggested.
"It's a good idea." Chen Lang smiled when he heard this, "Then please send everyone to the canteen, and invite everyone to have a big meal at noon." ”
"Okay, there's meat to eat at noon." Hearing this, everyone happily walked towards the school cafeteria.
The matter was finally resolved, and then everyone went back to class.
Then the school held an opening ceremony, and Chen Lang once again refused to speak on stage, disappointing the students who wanted to see the idol.
After returning to the classroom, Chen Lang asked the head teacher Dongfang Xin for leave, and in the afternoon he was going to Huaxing Records to record a second record.
Dongfang Xin was not embarrassed but nodded and agreed, but asked Chen Lang to remember to give himself one after the record came out, and Chen Lang naturally agreed happily.
At noon, everyone ate free chicken, duck, fish and balls, and the people in the cafeteria also knew that Chen Lang was a celebrity in front of the principal, and they were willing to be a favor.
After having lunch with everyone, Chen Lang and Tang Xiaomei rushed to Huaxing Records by car to continue recording their second record.
When Chen Lang started school, he had already recorded several fast-paced songs in "Catchy", such as "Sing If You Want to Sing", "My Future Is Not a Dream", "Sailor", "Run" and "My Future Is Not a Dream".
The remaining slower-paced songs such as "Born Like a Summer Flower", "The Rainy Season at the Age of Seventeen", "Grandma's Penghu Bay", "Snail", and "The Age of Fluttering White" need to be completed in the next fifteen days.
Songs with a slower tempo require more from the singer, and of course not all songs are like this.
In the case of soothing rhythm, the singer's control of sound, words and qi will be very clear in the ears of professionals, and you can clearly understand the singer's basic skills when you listen to it.
At the same time, the singer's control of the overall rhythm of the song and the rendering and transmission of emotions in the song also require excellent skills.
If you just have a good voice, but the emotional transmission is not good, then it can only be said that you are not singing well enough, and the real interpretation of a song to the extreme is the kind of effect that can deeply resonate in people's hearts.
For example, "Old Boy" by the Chopsticks Brothers, many people were deeply touched by the chopsticks brothers' singing when they heard this song, and I believe that many people who heard this song were in tears, at least their eyes were moist.
Of course, the combination of the video clips and the song makes this touch more profound and moving, but it is undeniable that the song "Old Boy" conveys the kind of memories and touching to the audience in the sad singing of the chopsticks brothers.
Previously, Chen Lang's first record was basically all dancing and fast songs except for "Mice Love Rice" and "Childhood", and half of them were on this record.
Fortunately, Chen Lang's unremitting exercise and the progress made in recording this time gave Chen Lang a lot of confidence, coupled with Gu Jiahui's guidance, I believe that it should not be a problem to record these slow songs.
"Lang Lang, the rest of the songs are all slow songs, are you ready?" Gu Jiahui looked at Chen Lang and asked.
Chen Lang took a deep breath and said firmly, "I'm ready." ”
"Okay, in that case, let's start recording this song "Grandma's Penghu Bay", today is to find the state, don't be too anxious." Gu Jiahui said with relief.
Chen Lang also knew that it was impossible to record this song in one day, and now he could only try to find the state of singing slow songs.
"The evening breeze blows lightly in Penghu Bay
The waves chase the beach
There is no coconut grove adorned with the sunset
Just a piece of ocean blue
Sit on a low wall in front of the door
Think about it over and over again
It's also a beach at dusk
There are two and a half pairs of footprints on it......"
"Stop Lang Lang, your rhythm is good, but it's still an old problem, the feelings revealed in the song are insufficient, and it sounds a little 'dry' and lacks emotion." Gu Jiahui listened to Chen Lang's singing and said directly.
"That's my grandmother with a cane
Gently hold my hand
Stepping on the twilight towards the afterglow
Warm Penghu Bay
A footprint is a string of laughter
Spend a lot of time
Until the night engulfed us both
On the way home......"
"Stop, this time I used too much force, your feelings seem to be very deep, but as soon as you hear it, you know that it is too heavy, which means that your feelings are too fake." Gu Jiahui criticized again.
Chen Lang was a little helpless when he heard Gu Jiahui's words, his grasp of emotions without too many setbacks and experiences has always been a difficulty, which is indeed Chen Lang's very obvious shortcoming.
For the emotional grasp of a song, the singer can solve this problem through continuous practice during the recording and post-mixing and editing, so everyone will feel that the singer sings the song perfectly when listening to the record.
But the thing may be that the singer didn't grasp the whole song perfectly, and the reason why it was perfect was only the credit of the post-production/production.
As soon as I heard this song, I knew that I missed my grandmother, but Chen Lang didn't have such deep feelings for his current grandmother, so he had no choice but to think about his grandmother in his previous life.
Although Chen Lang has long buried his memories of his relatives in his previous life, but now in order to record his own record, he has to open these wounds again.
Thinking that he would never see his relatives in his previous life again, Chen Lang slowly fell into memories.
Chen Lang, who was caught in memories, thought about all the things in his previous life, and indescribable sentimentality and pain welled up in his heart.
Gu Jiahui and Tang Xiaomei saw that Chen Lang who stopped seemed to be distracted, and then saw that Chen Lang silently left tears, which really scared the two of them.
Tang Xiaomei ran directly into the recording studio, holding Chen Lang's face with both hands and asked, "Lang Lang, are you okay?" ”
Chen Lang was awakened by Tang Xiaomei's words and actions, and saw that Tang Xiaomei and Gu Jiahui were both looking at him worriedly, Chen Lang had no choice but to wipe the tears on his face, and forced a smile on his face, "It's nothing, I just remembered some things from the past, don't worry, I'm fine, let's continue." ”
Tang Xiaomei had no choice but to leave the recording studio with worries when she heard this, and Gu Jiahui could only get ready, seeing Chen Lang's gesture, she signaled that she could start.
Chen Lang took a deep breath, let himself fall into the memories, felt the sourness welling up in his heart, and steadied his mind and steadied himself to sing.
"Penghu Bay, Penghu Bay
Grandma's Penghu Bay
I had a lot of childhood fantasies
Sun, sand, waves, cactus
And an old captain......"
Chen Lang's singing this time is a real painful memory and experience, Chen Lang may not have realized it himself, but the sentimentality and memories in the current singing immediately attracted Gu Jiahui.
Thinking of Chen Lang's tears just now, Gu Jiahui knew that Chen Lang must have found the emotions needed in the song by recalling the things that made him painful.
Listening to the infectious singing voice coming from the headphones, Gu Jiahui's heart was also complicated.
Although Chen Lang's method made his mind very depleted, this was the only way he could perfectly interpret this song at present, so he could only insist on recording this song.
Fortunately, what needs to be expressed and conveyed in the song has met Gu Jiahui's requirements, so it only took two days to record the first slower-paced "Grandma's Penghu Bay".
With the feeling and experience found in the first song, it was a little bit easier to record the next four songs.
But for each song, that emotion must be conveyed, which makes Chen Lang very distressed and troubled.
After recording a song "Grandma's Penghu Bay", the mental exhaustion made Chen Lang feel that it was harder than recording five fast songs in a row.
At the same time, Chen Lang was once again deeply aware of his weakness in emotional grasp.
But there's really no good way to improve this ability.
In addition to your talent or experience, you can only take the stupid method of practicing and familiarizing yourself with it until you meet the requirements.
Time passed in a hurry, and soon came to the end of February, Chen Lang went to school every morning after mid-February, and rushed to Huaxing to record records in the afternoon and evening, and his life was busy and fulfilling.
Because of his familiarity with the songs on the record, coupled with the progress of his singing skills and sufficient preparation, Chen Lang was in a very good state in recording the first few songs.
If it takes a short time, it may only take one day to meet Gu Jiahui's requirements, and if it takes no more than three days, the recording can be completed.
Although the slow songs in the back took a lot of Chen Lang's effort and time, with the joint efforts and hard work of Gu Jiahui and Chen Lang, the recording of the ten songs of "Catchy" was completed in time.
Chen Lang was finally liberated, and he was able to take a good rest and relax his mind that had been in a tense state, while Gu Jiahui was still busy with post-production/production.
The day after he was freed from the laborious recording of the record, Chen Lang took a day off, and then played with Tang Xiaomei in Hong Kong unscrupulously all day.
finally relieved Chen Lang from his state of overdraft, and Chen Lang had to sigh that mental injury was indeed more uncomfortable than physical fatigue.
