Chapter 8: Recording Songs
The morning sun shone into Lin Ziyao's room on time, and the bird's cry was brought back to reality by Lin Ziyao, who was playing with Zhou Gong's daughter.
The plan of the day lies in the morning, Lin Ziyao stretched his little waist, today he has other plans, it was difficult to record songs because of lack of money, but since the wealthy Liu Tianwang transferred 500,000 yuan to Lin Ziyao, he suddenly had some farmers turn over and sing comfortably, and immediately started his new round of plans.
And now his singing strength has suddenly changed from a novice in his previous life to a person with the strength of an Internet singer, and some songs are difficult for him.
"Yiyi, after school today, I will ask the aunt next door to take you home, okay? Uncle has important things to do today, and if you have a meal, your uncle will buy it and put it in the refrigerator, so you can do it yourself when the time comes, okay? ”
"Don't, uncle, don't Yiyi, I don't care, unless my uncle comes to bring Yiyi, I don't want Yiyi." It seems that Yiyi seems to have an endless momentum that you don't take me.
Lin Ziyao couldn't stand it, and now Yiyi is only in the fifth grade, so it should be okay if he didn't go for a day, so Lin Ziyao promised to relax Yiyi for a day and accompany him to the recording studio to record songs.
This time, he chose two songs, Vae's "Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow" and "Luzhou Moon".
Whether it is Vae or his songs, Lin Ziyao likes them very much, although Vae's songs don't seem to be so liked after he crosses, and many people say that Vae has run out of oil lamps, but he doesn't think so.
At the beginning, he didn't sign a contract with Haidie, he had more time to create, but after signing the contract, didn't he become the producer, which greatly reduced his free time, and it was already good to be able to continue creating, and the music scene in his previous life was also declining with the popularity of electronic technology.
There is a lot of nonsense, first of all, let's introduce "Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow", it is a song written, composed and sung by Vae, officially released in 2007, it is also a song belonging to Xu Song's early days, and it is widely circulated on the Internet.
At least Lin Ziyao liked it very much in his previous life, the broken bridge in the song is a beautiful scenery of West Lake in Hangzhou, known for the distant view of the bridge deck looming on the surface of the lake during the winter snow, Lin Ziyao has not been there, but according to the song, it can be imagined that the place must be a little sad and nostalgic.
The song "Luzhou Moon" has a greater impact, and it is also a Chinese-style song, one of the songs in Xu Song's second solo original album "Fog Seeking Revelation", which was officially released in 2009.
Chinese style is a unique Chinese music genre that combines three ancient and three new (ancient words, ancient culture, ancient melody, new singing, new arrangement, and new concept).
The lyrics have Chinese cultural connotations, and the song uses the combination of nostalgic Chinese background, scenery and rhythm to produce subtle, melancholy, elegant, and brisk song styles.
The content of the song means that the moon in Luzhou is still the moon at that time, but the two people under the moonlight have gone their separate ways, and this song contains endless thoughts of friends and expresses an alternative nostalgia.
Lin Ziyao decided to use these two songs as his debut in the music world.
Yang City Recording, this is the largest and best recording studio in Yang City, of course, the price is also the most expensive, but now Lin Ziyao is rich and wealthy, of course, he will not care about these.
"Hello, I want to rent a high-end recording studio, I don't know how much an hour costs?" Lin Ziyao took Yiyi and asked a beautiful woman at the front desk.
"Hello, sir, the price of an hour in a high-end recording studio is a thousand yuan, are you sure you want to rent it in a group?"
The best recording studio in Yang City is the high-end recording studio, so Lin Ziyao can only choose it.
"Yes."
"Okay, come with me, I'll open one for you, do you want other services, such as hiring a producer or something."
"No need, I'll be fine by myself, thank you."
…
"Yiyi, you sit on the side first, uncle is busy with some things, and when he is done, he will take you to the amusement park to play." After that, Lin Ziyao put Yiyi on the chair for people to rest, and then entered the music recording of "Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow" and "Luzhou Moon".
Because of the score and finished product, Lin Ziyao quickly compiled and recorded all the two songs, and only needed to add his own singing dubbing, but this is also the most difficult link, Lin Ziyao needs to do his best to sing.
"I can't find a butterfly with a flower
Never see the withering
The eaves of a small bridge at night in the south of the Yangtze River
Can't read the wilderness of Saibei
When he started singing, Lin Ziyao was still a little nervous in his heart, after all, this was the first time he recorded a song in his life, so although his voice was soft and full of passion, it was basically different from what Xu Song sang, and if there was a second person who heard Xu Song's version of singing, it was estimated that Xu Song would sing better.
Whether it has snowed on the broken bridge
I looked at the lake
The cold moon in the water is like snow
Melts with a tap of your fingertips
Whether it has snowed on the broken bridge
I think of your face again
If you don't have a chance to say goodbye
The white causeway willow curtain wept several times..."
After it was over, Lin Ziyao clicked on the playback recording, and after listening carefully, he also summarized some of the bad points, comparing the version of Xu Songsing, what do you say, if you are not a smart person, then you have to learn to imitate, he is in this state now, although I can't sing well, but I memorize by rote and eat the content of the song thoroughly, then it's all right.
Again, Lin Ziyao made a breath of anger to himself, and he must complete these two songs today, so he didn't believe it.
Second.
The third time...
10th: "Has it ever snowed on the broken bridge?"
I think of your face again
If you don't have a chance to say goodbye
The white causeway willow curtain wept several times..."
After more than an hour, Lin Ziyao was finally able to sing "Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow" in its entirety, but it was still a little inferior in terms of emotion, at this time he felt a slight pain in his throat, and after taking a sip of water, Lin Ziyao exhaled deeply.
Why can't he sing Vae's feelings? Later, I thought that I didn't incorporate that sad and desolate emotion when I sang.
So Lin Ziyao found a particularly sad story on the Internet, and after reading it for a while, he had some feelings in his heart.
Leafleted butterfly with no flowers
Never see the withering
…
This time, Lin Ziyao finally has a real understanding of this song, his singing voice is in such a state, maybe it doesn't sound special at first glance, but it still has an endless aftertaste when you taste it carefully.
Whether it has snowed on the broken bridge
I think of your face again
If you don't have a chance to say goodbye
The white embankment willow curtain wept several times
After two hours, the perfect "Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow" was finally completed, Lin Ziyao was already sweating at this time, and his throat was even more dry, and Yiyi on the side had already fallen asleep because of boredom.
After looking at the clock, it was already eleven o'clock, Lin Ziyao didn't continue to record songs, after all, things can't be done all at once, take Yiyi to the amusement park in the afternoon, and continue recording tomorrow.
After settling the rent for renting a recording studio, Lin Ziyao took Yiyi to a restaurant and after eating the lunch meal, he walked to a large amusement park near the Rongjiang River.
For a whole afternoon, Lin Ziyao spent the whole afternoon in Yiyi's joyful laughter.
The next day, Lin Ziyao didn't bring Yiyi over again, after all, if he developed the style of Yiyi not going to school easily, Lin Ziyao felt a little bit of gain and loss.
"Luzhou Moon" itself is not difficult, Chinese style plus rap style, and it is relatively easy to sing.
When I was a child, I chiseled the wall and stole the light of someone's house
In the past, I didn't comb a bitter ten-year cold window
Now under the lamp, reading red sleeves add fragrance
Half a lifetime of fame is just a vain
…
Luzhou moonlight pear blossom rain cool
Who's beside you now?
The moonlight of my hometown is deeply seared in my heart
But he couldn't shed the tears of that year
Lin Ziyao only took more than an hour to complete the recording of "Luzhou Moon", after all, he has yesterday's experience, and he feels a little familiar with the road.
After returning home, Lin Ziyao uploaded these two songs from the USB flash drive to bitter gourd music, it is impossible to find them on bitter gourd music immediately after uploading, and they must pass the review, and only after the review can they be auditioned and downloaded.
In this world, singers have obvious hierarchical divisions, with the high development of the Internet era, many singers in today's albums are becoming more and more unsellable, have set their sights on the Internet, so, the birth of a singer's grade segment, singers all over the world are divided into nine levels, namely: 1 star, 2 stars... 9-star singer.
And Huaguo is very unfortunate, there is no 9-star singer, only the four kings of Huaguo are only 8 stars, and there are only four, there are a total of three 9-star singers in the world, two in Europe, and one in the United States.
The requirement for 9-star singers is that the number of downloads of songs on the Internet must reach 5 billion, and the minimum number of downloads for each song must be 15 million.
The requirement for 8-star singers is that the number of downloads of songs on the Internet must reach 2 billion, and the minimum number of downloads for each song must be 10 million.
…
The requirement for a 1-star singer is that the number of downloads of songs on the Internet must reach one million, and there is no requirement for the number of downloads of songs, even if you pile up songs to make up the number of downloads, the official will not care about you.
However, because of copyright issues, bitter melon music costs a dollar to download a song, which is a bit expensive, but there is no need to pay for audition.
And the income is 28 points with bitter gourd music, Lin Ziyao occupies eight floors, which is not bad, and there is no money at all to download it in the previous life, and there were once people who confused Xu Song's songs with Jay Chou's, and replaced Xu Song's song album with Jay Chou, who was more famous at the time, and then pirated it out openly, such a situation still happens from time to time, so that singers are a little helpless to change careers to become actors or directors.
