"Sister Mei, actually...... You don't have to worry about that, since you chose this song, I'm sure I'll consider all the questions you said, and I know what I know. "www.biquge.info Ye Zi smiled and said, "By the way, Sister Mei, have you found the saxophonist I wanted?" ”

"I found it, and I made an appointment with him at ten o'clock. Xiao Yezi, you haven't answered me yet. Sister Mei was very dissatisfied with Ye Zi's answer. Isn't this avoiding the important and taking care of him?

This little slippery head!

Ye Zi smiled and shook his head: "Sister Mei, it's not that I won't tell you, this matter is a bit troublesome to explain in detail, and when that saxophonist arrives, you can understand it by listening to the arrangement I made." ”

Sister Mei looked at Ye Zi seriously twice, and found that he really didn't mean to explain any more, so Sister Mei couldn't continue to ask. Since Ye Zi has been chosen to supervise the album, it is necessary to give him full trust.

Sister Mei can still do this.

"That'...... That's okay," Sister Mei said helplessly: "I'll go to the next practice room to open my voice first, and I won't record it in the morning, right?" ”

"Well, you rest in the morning, protect your throat, and we'll start recording this afternoon." Ye Zi nodded.

Sister Mei walked away with a little worry full of incomprehension.

Ye Zi smiled lightly, waved to Wen Wen, then got up and walked to Ah Kun and sat down, chatting with him.

After a while, Wen Wen walked in with Ye Zi's synthesizer and his electric guitar on his back.

"Brother Kun, please guide the accompaniment track, the song "Your Eyes".

"Leave one track for vocals, two tracks for backing vocals, one track for saxophone and one track for electric guitar, and you can do the normal thing for the other instruments."

"Brother Kun, I'm sorry for you."

Ah Kun nodded, quickly wrote down Ye Zi's request, and began to do things.

Soon, the backing tracks were imported from the synthesizer into the latest ALESIS multi-track digital professional recording equipment.

……

At 9:55, the saxophonist arrives at the/one/studio.

The saxophonist is a foreigner, who looks to be about thirty years old, and may be a little older or younger, the age of a foreigner...... It's hard to see at a glance. With long hair scattered, a tattered T-shirt and denim, and a huge bag on his shoulder, he strode into the recording control room.

The staff of Huaxing Records immediately stepped forward.

"Hello, I'm Steve. Davidson, Donnu. Mr. Easley invited me over to record the saxophone. Without waiting for the staff to ask, Davidson spoke out in English.

The staff led him to Ye Zi's side.

English is also one of the lingua franca in Xiangjiang, and it is not uncommon for the staff to be able to listen and speak.

"the/producer? Wow, so young? "I haven't walked in front of Ye Zi yet, Steve. Davidson suddenly stopped, glanced at the staff in surprise, then looked at Ye Zi, and snorted lightly before continuing to walk forward.

Ye Zi got up and stood in place, with a faint smile on his face. He was used to the doubts and surprises of his age now.

"Steve. Mr. Davidson? I'm Bruce. Ye, the executive producer of this recording. You are punctual and welcome your arrival. "Didn't wait for Steve. Davidson walked up to Ye Zi and spoke, Ye Zi said hello in advance, and at the same time stretched out his right hand.

While shaking hands, Steve. Davidson said with a slight surprise: "Yes, I'm Steve. Davidson is a saxophonist in the United States. By the way, your accent is really awesome, have you lived in the United States? ”

"Thanks, Steve. Mr. Davidson," Ye Zi let go of his right hand and shrugged his shoulders: "Actually, I haven't lived in the United States, my English was studied in the Huaxia Continent, where there are good schools where English is taught. Okay Steve. Mr. Davidson, this is the end of the discussion on the issue of accents, and we don't have a lot of time to spend on these small talks. ”

After shaking hands, Ye Zi immediately ended the topic just now. Facing a foreigner who has some doubts about his age, getting straight to the point is the best way.

"You may be seated, Steve. Mr. Davidson. Today, I invite you to play the intro and two interludes of a song in F key using the alto saxophone. Here's the band score, here's your saxophone score. ”

"It's a very simple love song, and my request for the saxophone is to allow for a certain amount of improvisation on top of the score, as long as it's reasonable, I'm okay here, but I don't need to add too many fancy things to the overall performance. Also, in terms of the tone of the saxophone, I want you to keep it as warm as possible, especially in the treble section. Our sound engineer will help you meet this requirement, but until then, you need more control over your performance. ”

"Got it, Steve. Mr. Davidson. ”

Ye Zi gave orders as soon as he came up, such a straightforward attitude was a little rude, but for foreigners who cooperated for the first time, there was nothing inappropriate with a slightly tough direct attitude, especially after the other party showed doubts because of Ye Zi's age, Ye Zi needed to establish his status as a producer. And Ye Zi has observed that this Steve. Although Mr. Davidson is a bit sloppy and sloppy in terms of his appearance, or casual and uninhibited according to their own words, his eyes are quite gentle and restrained, and he does not have the arrogance that many Chinese people, especially American artists, are peculiar.

Such a person should be very easy to deal with.

"Clear, Mr. Ye, I can do what you ask." Steve. Davidson didn't feel anything wrong with Ye Zi's direct attitude at all, and he immediately replied.

In fact, after getting the score, Steve. Davidson casually put his backpack on the couch, his eyes kept on the score, and his head never lifted at all, and the same was true when he answered.

"Very good, you have ......" Ye Zi raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "15 minutes of preparation time, is it enough?" If it is not enough, it can be extended appropriately. ”

"No, why prolong?"

Steve, who had been keeping his head down just now and reading the music. Davidson, at this time, raised his head suddenly, the look in his eyes was puzzled with a hint of anger, obviously, Ye Zi's words just now "can be appropriately extended" made him feel uncomfortable: "15 minutes is enough, this is just a few short performances, there is no difficulty, in fact, I can play with the accompaniment now." ”

"There's nothing wrong with recording directly!"

Steve. Davidson said quickly.

Ye Zi waved his hand and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, it's my fault, Steve. Mr. Davidson, I shouldn't doubt your abilities. But I'm sure you should know that what I just said doesn't mean what you understand. ”

Faced with such a "music idiot" character, Ye Zi immediately apologized, but he was secretly happy in his heart. The seriousness and dedication of such a musician to his work is exactly what is very needed in this song.

This person, well chosen!

"Okay, it's nothing, in fact, 10 minutes is enough."

Just like Ye Zi imagined, Steve. Davidson was not a difficult person to get along with, and Ye Zi's timely apology immediately dispelled his anger.

As soon as he lowered his head, his eyes were once again fixed on the score.

……

"Mr. Ye, I'm already okay."

Steve. Davidson looked up from the sheet music again, exactly 10 minutes had passed.

Ye Zi secretly snickered in his heart, but he immediately said politely: "It's better to call me Bruce, it's more convenient to call me like this." Steve. Mr. Davidson, (if) ......"

"You can also call me Steve," Ye Zi's politeness made Steve. Davidson was slightly stunned, Ye Zi just now didn't have such an attitude. But then he laughed very happily, of course he was willing to accept the kindness released by Ye Zi: "To be honest, Bruce, your 'Ye' is really not easy to pronounce." ”

"Obviously, it's certainly not my problem." Ye Zi pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders and tilted his head, spread out his hands and pretended to be helpless.

Steve. Davidson liked Ye Zi's little humor very much, and then smiled: "Yes Bruce, yes, yes, I'm sure, this obviously won't be your own problem." ”

After speaking, he looked at Ye Zi and laughed.

Ye Zi also laughed twice, and the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed a lot. (To be continued.) )
