() A large group of dense and heavy strings slowly climbs up the scale. With a little silent heartache, it was like the extremely low lead-colored dark clouds that enveloped the four fields before the rainstorm came, and it was so overwhelming that people couldn't even breathe.

As soon as the prelude sounded, this dark and oppressive feeling with despair immediately completely attracted the ears and hearts of everyone in the control room.

For the string system of this "Sea and Sky", Ye Zi spent a whole night, just to find the kind of string timbre that best meets the highest standards in his heart. It was the first time that he had struggled to find a tone in a song he had made since his rebirth.

Now, listening to the texture of the strings coming from the JBL4312A near-field monitors, and feeling the resonance in his heart that was stirred up by the timbre and melody of the string group, Ye Zi knew that the time of the night was definitely not in vain, and he found the most suitable string for this song.

In his previous life, Ye Zi was crazy about this representative work of the "Faith Orchestra", even more so than their famous work "Love When You Die". For so many years, Ye Zi would put this song on his lips almost every day, chewing on the resonance and emotion brought to him by the lyrics over and over again.

The arrangement of this song is almost perfect in Ye Zi's opinion, concise but not simple, and a lot of thought has been put into the conception. Whether it is piano, drums, acoustic guitar, electric guitar timbre selection, rhythmic configuration and position of appearance, coordination with other instruments and other arrangement factors, Ye Zi is impeccable. In the arrangement of this song, the only thing that makes Ye Zi feel a little regretful is the strings used in the prelude and the bottom layer.

The original strings basically meet the requirements of the song, but in Ye Zi's opinion, it is still a bit thin. When the "Faith Orchestra" made this song, perhaps out of consideration of the cost of the song, it did not use real musicians and string groups to play the string parts, but directly selected a sound from the synthesizer or sound source. The tone is certainly good, but it lacks the weight and striking of the strings compared to the real instrumental ensemble.

In other words, it's a lack of texture.

This. It is also a major flaw in electronic analog timbre. Since Ye Zi wants to remake the song in this world, such a regret can't be allowed to continue to be a regret.

Throughout the night, with the help of Xiao Qihe and the system, Ye Zi simulated the configuration set of N strings, and finally found the effect that satisfied him the most.

Today. Hearing this string effect from the commonly used monitors instead of brainwave playback, Ye Zi knew that these changes he had made in the orchestration of this song -

It worked!

Repression is not the norm for this song, but just an introduction, like the darkness before dawn. After a bit of climbing and circling. As the strings climb up to the higher scales, the melody changes, and a splash of color appears in the following phrases, like a red sun erupting.

The piano should follow in sync with the melody played by the string ensemble.

After a gradual slowdown, it ends lightly, and the prelude has completely laid out the inner feelings of the song, and then it depends on Zhang Lei's singing.

The door of the control room suddenly opened again, and several more people appeared in the room. However, as soon as they saw the situation in the control room, the few people who had just come in immediately stopped the idea of greeting each other. I found a few chairs and sat down quietly.

In the recording room, Ye Zi turned off the lights completely according to Zhang Lei's requirements, and only a touch of light came in through the monitoring window.

Zhang Lei was immersed in the tranquility brought by the darkness, holding the headphones in one hand, hanging naturally with the other hand, his eyes slightly closed, following the touch brought to him by the music, and began to sing without thinking.

I had suspected that I was walking in the desert

Never bear fruit, no matter what kind of dream

……

Looking at the song sheet in his hand, the eleven singers at the back of the control room were excited. Zhang Lei only sang two sentences, and he had completely captured their entire body and mind.

Oh, yes. How many times have they planted their own dreams, but the dreams have never borne fruit, making people really wonder if they have planted their dreams in the desert.

This lyrics, this melody. Like lightning, it struck them in the heart at once.

Zhang Lei continued to sing.

Only then did he spread his wings, but the wind became silent

Can the pain of habit be considered a gain?

……

Two more lyrics that hit the heart, and a fragile female singer immediately reached out to cover her mouth.

Several male singers raised their heads slightly, and the qiē in front of them gradually became a little blurred.

Beside him, there was the sound of snorting and slight coughing that his companions had deliberately suppressed.

Resonance, reverberates in their hearts.

Zhang Lei's singing continues.

Thankfully, I haven't looked back

Finally found out that there really is an oasis

Every sweat that flowed and life became heavy

Only when you get out of your frustration do you see a new universe

……

The steel-stringed acoustic guitar gently plays semi-broken chords with melody, which are reflected in the gaps between Zhang Lei's singing. Zhang Lei's singing is like a soft exclamation and memory. The faint tone is telling of the loss of the past. There are no meaningless complaints and remorse, only secret insistence attached to the sound of the guitar and transmitted to everyone's hearts.

This time's singing, Zhang Lei is impressive.

The first time he played a low-volume ensemble with accompaniment, Ye Zi keenly felt that Zhang Lei was in excellent condition today. made a decision immediately, Ye Zi asked Zhang Lei to let go of his voice and sing in the second audition, and at the same time directly started the official recording.

Status is fleeting, and once it appears, it must be grasped immediately, which is something that a qualified recording engineer must do.

Lu Zheng was sitting behind Ye Zi's side, and when he saw Ye Zi's decisive action, he kept nodding slightly.

Sure enough, this time Zhang Lei's performance was extremely good, and it completely met or even exceeded the established requirements in Ye Zi's heart. The timbre, pitch, mood of the singing, and the handling of the song have been flawless so far.

Compared with the original song of the "Faith Orchestra", Zhang Lei's voice is not so gorgeous and compelling, but he does not show weakness in the strength of his voice. In terms of singing and expressing his inner feelings, Zhang Lei's expression is even better.

For Zhang Lei, who is already twenty-four years old and has been depressed for many years in the night market, the lyrics of this song can allow him to fully express his inner feelings. And this is something that the "Faith Orchestra" cannot fully do.

This is the result of different experiences.

The "Faith Orchestra" also experienced twists and turns, despair, and nothing in the early days, but at least they had the opportunity, at least they were in the Taiwan Strait, and the pop music environment was much more mature than that of the mainland. And for Zhang Lei, what he faced with his dream was a deep despair! And it's the kind of despair that has no hope at all!

The situation at that time was like the situation of the eleven singers at the back of the control room.

There is no talent and no hope at all!

As far as Cheng Dù is concerned, Zhang Lei's situation is even darker and more desperate than that of the "Faith Orchestra". If there was no Ye Zi's appearance, perhaps the current Zhang Lei would have given up his dream in despair.

If there was no "Lighthouse Project", how many years would the eleven singers in the back last?

No one knows!

Knock, knock.

When the drumbeat was brewing to a certain extent, it was resolutely added, and Zhang Lei let go of his voice for more than half of it, and expressed his indifference and freedom after his persistence was rewarded with the rhythm of the drum.

The sea and the sky

After being brave

Break the lock of fate with attachment

Indifferent people

Thank you for looking down on me for once

Let me not bow my head more wonderful work

……

To be honest, if the lyrics of the chorus were not what they are now, but if they followed the love of the main song and continued to walk down the path of sighing and sadness, this song would never have been so moving.

This chorus is written resolutely and freely, and the lyrics are full of optimistic and positive feelings, so that all those who listen to the song sing along with the lyrics, arouse their strong and unyielding will to fight for their ideals.

This chorus immediately elevates the idea of the whole song by more than a notch, which is really outstanding.

Looking at the reactions of these people in the control room, this is completely clear.

The eleven singers were a little quiet, their voices were congested, their hearts were beating wildly, and they were desperate to scream out loud.

The accompaniment melody twists and turns, and after a few simple passages, the song moves on to the second stanza.

The wee hours of the morning window are insomnia after the whole night

Watching Dawn raise his head from the clouds

Sunset is a submersible

Sunrise is ripe

As long as it's light, it will-

Splendid

……

Listening to Zhang Lei's confident singing, Ye Zi was also nodding secretly in his heart.

For Zhang Lei, this song "Sea and Sky" will be a song for him to break out of the cocoon into a butterfly, from now on, the sky is high and the birds fly and the sea is wide and the fish jumps, Zhang Lei will be completely different!

This is the result of his own perseverance and perseverance, and it is also the result of his dreams and never giving up. The current singing recording and the upcoming qiē in the future are, of course, the best reward for Zhang Lei's dedication.

As the song goes, as long as it's light, it's going to be brilliant!

The sea and the sky

After being brave

……

The sound of a chorus suddenly sounded in the control room, which startled Ye Zi, who was slightly distracted. Looking back, the eleven singers had all stood up, and they followed Zhang Lei's singing voice and shouted loudly this melody that also represented their hearts.

Ye Zi smiled slightly, completely relieved.

Turning around, Ye Zi pushed the overall volume on the mixer up a little, so that Zhang Lei's voice could reach everyone's ears more clearly.

The chorus in the back is louder.

After a wanton electric guitar solo, Zhang Lei and the eleven singers behind the control room let go of their singing voices at the same time and shouted out their hearts loudly.

The sea and the sky

After the storm

Turning his head and smiling sadly at his old heart

The one who knows me best

Thank you for being with me silently all the way

Let me have a good story to tell

Look to the future

Step by step!
