Chapter 807: Bruce Harmonica
"Lao Huang, this is the ...... I agreed. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ye Zi was silent for a long time, and then finally spit out this promise that Huang Zhijian was looking forward to, and Huang Zhijian was overjoyed.
"Okay, okay, then I'll thank you first." Huang Zhijian immediately took out a thick stack of scores from the bag he was carrying.
"Xiao Yezi, all the band scores and instrumental scores of the fifteen songs are here, this matter is ...... I'll leave it to you, if you have any questions, you can call me at any time, my big brother is open 24 hours a day, and I promise to be on call. ”
"Little leaf, you must ......"
The score has been handed over to Ye Zi, and Huang Zhijian is still a little reluctant to rub the thick score, chattering in his mouth.
This is the brainchild of all the members of the band for several years.
Now, since Ye Zi took over this pile of scores with his own hands, the recording of the album is finally about to begin. For a while, Huang Zhijian really had mixed feelings.
Gently patting the back of Huang Zhijian's hand, Ye Zi said very seriously: "Lao Huang, don't worry, since I have taken this job, I will definitely do my best to help you do a good job." ”
"By the way, do you want me to write two alternatives for you? I also like rock and roll, but I haven't done it much before, and I don't know if it's to your liking. ”
Of course, Ye Zi's words were casually polite, he mainly wanted to distract Huang Zhijian's attention and stop continuing to immerse himself in some inexplicable emotions.
Huang Zhijian thanked Ye Zi with a smile, let go of his hand and leaned on the sofa, and then declined Ye Zi's kindness.
"Forget it, Xiaoyezi, you see that you are busy now, don't bother with that more thought for us. Anyway, there are now fifteen alternative tracks, and if something goes wrong, let's discuss it again. ”
I don't want to trouble Ye Zi more, of course, this is also a polite remark, the most important thing is that Huang Zhijian doesn't want to accept Ye Zi's kindness, as an excellent musician and creator, Huang Zhijian feels that accepting Ye Zi's kindness is a bit faceless.
This is our band's album, and the alternative tracks have been prepared, Ye Zi, you write two more songs, I use them...... Or not? That's all trouble. It's enough to simply refuse outright, our own work is enough.
Of course, Huang Zhijian's words were also very polite, considering him from Ye Zi's standpoint. However, the faint pride in these words could also be heard by Ye Zi.
But this is the normal situation, they are all making music, who doesn't have a little pride in their hearts? If Huang Zhijian agreed to it without saying anything like Zhang Lei, Ye Zi would feel strange in his heart. If that were the case, Huang Zhijian and his "Magnolia Band" would not have been able to make a great name in the Shencheng music scene over the years.
"Okay, then let's walk like this first, and we'll discuss things later." Ye Zi lightly unveiled this paragraph: "By the way, Lao Huang, don't you rush me all the time, I will try to arrange your album recording time tightly." ”
"For the time being, I'm thinking so, if nothing else, my second album should be recorded with all the real bands, then I will arrange your album recording with mine, so that I may record one or two songs at a time, and it will be about the same in a month to two months."
"What do you think, Lao Huang?"
Huang Zhijian thought about it for a while, and felt that this arrangement was quite reasonable. Most of the rock genre songs also need to be recorded in the real band, which is very suitable for Ye Zi's second album just together. Ye Zi recorded the song, and they recorded the song, so that there was no need to urge all the time.
Ye Zi's own albums always have to be completed as soon as possible, especially after the first album achieved such good results.
"Okay, then do as you say, you give me a rough schedule, and I can arrange the time for our band's performances and rehearsals." Huang Zhijian nodded.
"Well, that's fine, I'll arrange these today and hand them over to you tomorrow, but I'm afraid I won't have time to record it for you this week. As soon as I came to the radio station of my song, I was going to make it out and send it over as soon as I finished recording it. Second, Xie Yun's album has just been recorded, and the later stage will be completed this week, so there is no extra time left. The third one is that I just got your scores today, and I'm going to have to study how to record them for you, and I'm going to take some time to study them. ”
"Lao Huang, your album will start next week."
The problems that Ye Zi considered were all facts, especially the third reason that Huang Zhijian valued more, which was a serious and responsible attitude.
"No problem, then we'll start next week." Huang Zhijian immediately agreed: "Xiao Yezi, I suggest that we record these two songs first, and I will find out the score......"
……
At 8 o'clock in the morning the next day, the five main members of the "Magnolia Band" had already arrived, and the other two lead singers and backing singers did not come.
Today is a recording band, and they are not needed.
"Lao Huang, I forgot to ask you something yesterday, do you know who in Shencheng can play the blues harmonica? The kind that wants to blow well. Ye Zi suddenly asked.
After assigning their respective scores to the band members, Ye Zi looked at the two copies left in his hand, and then suddenly remembered this matter. One of these two scores is for the string section, and the other is for the harmonica.
Of course, there is no problem with the string group, Ye Zi has already informed Miao Junkai that they will rehearse in the troupe in the afternoon and will come over to record in the evening.
The harmonica thing was really forgotten.
For this song "You at the Table", the importance of the harmonica must not be overlooked, it is the most important instrument to create the mood and atmosphere of the song, and it has almost the same weight as the steel string folk acoustic guitar, and nothing can be missing it. And it must also be a blues harmonica, not a common accented harmonica, polyphonic harmonica.
What Ye Zi wants is the unique melodious and melancholy chic taste of the blues harmonica.
"Bruce harmonica? How did you remember to use it? This one...... It's a bit hard to find. Huang Zhijian looked at Ye Zi a little stunned, a pair of small eyes hidden behind his glasses narrowed slightly, but the expression on his face was a little smiling.
This expression is a bit weird.
Ye Zi was anxious, and didn't bother to observe this: "Lao Huang, Lao Yang, you are familiar with people in the Shencheng circle, do you know where there is such a big deal, I can invite him at a high price." ”
"Oh, the price?" Drummer Yang Zhengming smiled and accosted: "Xiaoyezi, are you going to ...... How high is the price? ”
Yang Zhengming's voice was a little lazy, with an indescribable taste.
"1000 tracks, how's that?" Ye Zi was anxious to find a suitable candidate, so he directly opened a really high price.
Keyboardist "Little Bell", bassist Lao Dai and rhythm guitarist "Little Mouse" Zou Cheng were looking at Ye Zi strangely and did not speak, and the expressions on their faces also looked like they were smiling but not smiling.
"Only 1000 tracks?" Yang Zhengming sighed twice, and then shook his head: "Xiao Yezi, you just said that you want to ask for a big take, this price is ...... As if that wasn't enough, right? ”
"1000 tracks aren't enough?" This time, Ye Zi was anxious.
According to the quotation in the Shencheng circle, this price is enough to invite a very high-level musician, similar to the kind of deputy principal of the orchestra like Miao Junkai.
Unexpectedly, Yang Zhengming didn't say enough.
"Then ...... Then Lao Yang, how much do you say? Ye Zigang wanted to quote another price, but then held back and asked.
Yang Zhengming still smiled: "Xiao Yezi, I know a person who plays the blues harmonica, the level is really great, but the price of others is also high, and I can't move people without a track of 2000." ”
“2000?” Ye Zi was surprised: "This price is ......"
The price is really a bit too high, ridiculously high!
It's 1992, the average salary is only three or four hundred yuan, and the 2,000 yuan track really makes Ye Zi a little speechless. Even if he goes out to help others record a song now, such as TV series interludes, theme songs, etc., the opening price is only about 2000, and he dares to call such a high price for recording a blues harmonica?
This harmonica master is also a little awesome.
However, Ye Zi immediately changed his mind, since this person dares to call such a high price, maybe he really has his own unique ability, otherwise these producers in the Shencheng music scene are not stupid, are they?
That's it.
"Forget it, 2000 is 2000." Ye Zi immediately made a decision.
For his second album, the extra expenditure of about 2,000 yuan is really not even drizzle. As long as it can really come in handy, don't say 2000, even if it's 20000, Ye Zi dares to agree.
"Lao Yang, please contact him quickly, ask him to come over now, and I will add another 200 to him for the fare."
A big head like 2000 has already been released, and the car money of 200 is not a problem, and it can also leave a good impression on others, of course Ye Zi will do it. If you can get to know a harmonica master on this, it will be worth it for Ye Zi.
"I'm rubbing! Little leaf, you cow x! 2200 didn't blink at once, why didn't anyone be so generous to me? The keyboard player "Little Bell" screamed.
"Little Yezi, if you don't ask me to forget it, I can also play the blues harmonica, that is...... That level is a little bit worse. But I'm cheap, I don't want any 1000 tracks, 2000 tracks, give me 800 and I'll do it. ”
"How about Xiaoyezi, think about it?"
"Little Bell" put his arm around Ye Zi's shoulders and said with a thief's grin.
