The next morning, the nine contestants gathered again to begin recording the last chorus song of the album. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Just after noon, Zhou Fang and Yang Qingsong also came to the recording studio again to conduct a final review of the recording of this album.

Not long after Zhou Fang arrived, Wenhui appeared in front of her after receiving the news, and the two of them immediately left the control room. Yang Qingsong sat in the control room for more than an hour, and did not find any problems, so he also said goodbye to Ye Zi and went to his own business.

This time, the recording of the choral song was quite smooth, and Ye Zi made full preparations beforehand.

Ye Zi took into account the characteristics of each contestant's singing passage, and arranged them in the position that best suited their voice timbre and singing range, so as to ensure that their singing was in their most comfortable vocal area, they were naturally very comfortable to play, and the recording quality was guaranteed to the greatest extent.

In the harmony part, considering that not every contestant has the ability to harmonize, Ye Zi wrote the harmony of the main song part directly into the melody when he wrote the song, as long as the contestants sang according to their own melody, and paid attention to aligning with the singers who sang at the same time when recording, the harmony naturally appeared.

In this, there is no need for the players to use their brains.

But when it came to the chorus, Ye Zi couldn't continue to arrange it like this, so it was necessary to configure the harmony specially. Ye Zi selected Liu Qi, Ru Lan, Hua Jianyue and himself with the best singing skills, two men and two women formed a four-person group, specializing in singing the harmony of the chorus.

With such a thoughtful arrangement, the harmony recording also went quite smoothly.

In order to increase the momentum of the chorus part of the chorus, Ye Zi sent out eight contestants except himself, and set up two recording microphones in the largest recording studio to record their chorus singing at the same time. Then, they sang in unison several times, and finally formed a chorus of forty or fifty people, with the already recorded harmony, and the momentum of the second half of the whole song came out at once.

At this point, the recording of this choral song has basically been completed, but Ye Zi is not finished yet. Now to listen to this song, the singing characteristics of each contestant are there, the cleverly configured harmonies are also there, and the momentum of the chorus part is also up, and the whole song is quite complete and excellent. But in Ye Zi's opinion, as a choral song, it still lacks a little something.

Ye Zi clapped his hands and called everyone together.

"The last job, after a while, everyone will go in one by one, and I will play the last chorus. You can sing as much as you want, sing the lyrics, hum without singing, sing and sing, you can sing whatever you want, anyway, you can sing as much as you want. ”

"You know what I mean?"

Several singers were looking at each other, Liu Qi pursed his lips and smiled: "Isn't it just to go in and fill for a while, what's so difficult about this, I'll come first." ”

"Okay, then you come first." Ye Zi smiled and nodded: "What Liu Qi said is right, I just want everyone to go in and fill casually, you first listen to how Liu Qi filled, and then it will be your turn later." ”

……

fill, literally translated as filling, is a word that is often encountered in song singing, especially in choral songs, almost every choral song has the existence of "fill". In the Chinese music world, fill is often called "fly", and Ye Zi's "fill section" is "fly a section" in Mandarin.

What is a fill?

To put it simply, it's an improvisational singing (performance). But unlike real improvisational singing, singing is actually there now, and what the singer has to do is to fill in the gaps, pauses, etc. in the singing, according to his own understanding. These things can be a polyphony with a melody, or they can be a random two sentences with imaginary words such as "ah" and "la" according to the harmony, in various forms, and there is no fixed choice.

This kind of fill is generally very short and adds a little bit of embellishment to the chorus, of course, if the singer has the ability, he can also sing a little more, as long as he doesn't fight with the original singing and harmonic texture, it's completely OK.

Adding a little fill to the song, especially the chorus, will make the overall song richer and more varied, and when done right, it is the finishing touch. Of course, this also requires the singer to have a certain singing quality and music theory foundation, or have enough singing talent, and inherently know which part of the song is suitable for adding a little fill, and which is not very suitable.

In fact, in Ye Zi's heart, among these contestants, only Liu Qi and Ru Lan, maybe plus Hua Jianyue and Nie Xiaoshuang have the possibility to fill a section, but such an opportunity can completely let everyone go in and try it, it's a big deal if the singing is not good or not very suitable, just wipe it off or don't use it.

There's no need to hit the players' self-confidence, is there? Maybe which player Ye Zi didn't value suddenly gave Ye Zi a surprise?

It's also a matter of course.

Of course, after all the contestants are finished, Ye Zi himself will also go in to fill a section. But at that time, with the retention of the fill, there will be very few gaps and gaps left for Ye Zi in the song, and that will be the real test.

……

Liu Qi's singing talent is really not boastful, after listening to it once, he thought about it for a while, hummed a few words softly in the recording room, and then started filling directly.

The chorus of the entire second stanza is repeated three times, but Liu Qi only chooses two places to fill it, one is a cacadenza on top of the melody to sing, and the other is an octave falsetto hum. Although only a little fill has been added to these two places, the changes in the song have already been reflected.

"Well, do you all get it?" After Liu Qi finished singing, Ye Zi pressed the stop recording button to beckon him out, and then turned around and asked.

Nie Xiaoshuang said with a smile: "Ye Zi, you said earlier that let's fly for a while, I know this, let's do it now." ”

"Okay, Sister Xiaoshuang, then it's up to you."

One player after another, and everyone went in and filled a paragraph.

There are quite successful fills, such as Liu Qi, such as Nie Xiaoshuang and Shu Hua, who Ye Zi originally didn't expect; There are also fills that are very ordinary, but they are also passable, that is Rulan, who Ye Zi was originally quite optimistic about; The rest of the people can't grasp the trick of this kind of fill, and they either sing in harmony (Flower Moon), or they sing incomprehensibly, and it's not the feeling of fill at all.

Ye Zi kept the passages of Liu Qi, Nie Xiaoshuang and Shu Huafill, and the others had no choice for singing, and everyone had no opinion on it. The ears are there, and everyone can still hear how good or bad these things are.

"Little Yezi, we're all done singing, it's your turn now, right?" Liu Qi glanced at Ye Zi and said, "How about it, show us a hand." ”

"That's right, Ye Zi, you can also fill a section."

"yes, yes, we're all waiting to hear how you fly."

Several players all laughed and laughed.

Ye Zi pointed at them, stood up and smiled: "You guys, don't you want to see my jokes?" Hmph, then I'll show you, my jokes are impossible. ”

"There's a lot of nonsense," Liu Qi dragged Ye Zi out of front of the mixer, and then pushed him hard: "Hurry up and let me in." ”

With that, he sat down directly in his chair. When Ye Zi went in to record, he was in charge of the recording control here. It's actually very simple to say that you are responsible, just press the record button twice.

Ye Zi couldn't help but be rude in his movements, bent his fingers and tapped lightly on his head, and then quickened his pace and walked into the recording room.

This time, Ye Zi really let these players understand what is called fill.

There is no need to try it at all, Ye Zi recorded it directly as soon as he came up. Wherever the chorus of the chorus goes, his fill follows. Sometimes he added something above the melody, very short, one sentence or just a few words; Sometimes, like Liu Qi, he floats a paragraph in the chorus with falsetto; Sometimes, he will hum in the gap of the melody, on the breath of the singing, or even shout directly.

All kinds of ways were brought by him, and more importantly, after listening to it, the contestants would feel that every part of Ye Zifill's fill was just right, as if this song should have been like this.

This time, including Liu Qi, the players were all completely convinced.

Ye Zi finished filling it smoothly, which means that the recording of this chorus has been completed, and then after Ye Zi finishes the post-processing of the song, he can make the master tape of the entire album.

At this time, it was not yet four o'clock in the afternoon.

After sending off the eight players, Ye Zi returned to the control room and immediately started work. (To be continued.) )
