Chapter 51: And then there was no then

Everyone gathered in front of the computer, and after listening to Jiang Chen's words, they couldn't help but laugh, and took it for granted that children had the mentality of games.

"What do you want a computer for? It's not going to be an arrangement, is it? ”

Huang Xianglong couldn't cry or laugh, the work of the recording engineer is very busy, he has received all kinds of customers, but he has not seen the children who want to participate in the arrangement.

Jiang Chen nodded when he heard this.

"Children, although you have a high IQ, arranging music is not something you can make up if you want to, it is different from writing a score."

Huang Xianglong said with a smile.

He has helped big names record songs, and he has also helped music lovers entertain themselves, and his temper has been trained very well, but he has not been angry. It's just that composing music and arranging music are two different things, otherwise why would there be so many arrangers?

As far as Huang Xianglong knows, Liu Yuan, the most powerful king in the music scene today, is a singer-songwriter, with excellent singing skills and talent, and is well-known at home and abroad. However, what the public doesn't know is that Liu Yuan's company has an ace arranger in the industry, who is a chord master, so that he can create good works that are popular all over the country and are remembered.

An arranger must have learned the piano, but having studied the piano is not necessarily a good arranger. A certain singer Cai Qing couldn't catch on because of his poor arrangement. Re-arrangement, expensive and unaffordable.

"Uncle, I've read the book of arrangement, and it feels very simple, I want to do it myself."

Jiang Chen sat on the chair, found the software on the computer desktop, and immediately opened the software, with the mentality of playing casually.

"Yes, we're going to do it ourselves."

He Xintian stood on tiptoe and looked at the computer screen with a smile.

"Simple?"

A few assistant sound engineers on the side couldn't help but laugh at the child's innocent performance.

Huang Xianglong smiled and shook his head.

However, he watched Jiang Chen skillfully click the mouse, and he had to sigh, now the child has been exposed to the computer at a very young age, and his learning ability is very strong, where is it like he has never touched the computer when he was a child, and the starting point is not at the same level.

When adults first came into contact with computers, they didn't actually perform much better than children, clumsy. There are also cases of being beaten by children while playing games.

For example, he played computer games with his children last weekend, and was educated by his nephew, who is a computer fanatic.

At this time, the assistant of the recording engineer on the side saw that the child skillfully clicked on the software, and he could only marvel at the power of the child now, Jiang Chen's IQ is really high.

……

……

In this industry, there are many all-round music producers. In order to save money, it is common for arrangers to also work on mixing.

In his last life, Jiang Chen's main job was as an actor, and he occasionally made guest appearances as singers. The arranging software he used to use was SONAR, which was a relatively easy type to use, and he was able to make his own music in a few days.

Intuitively, Jiang Chen didn't think it was difficult to arrange the music for the birthday song.

Now, he's lowered his requirements and doesn't want to be at the level of publishing, and his only thought is that he must do it himself and try to do MIDI arrangement.

Jiang Chen quietly browsed the interface, revealing a contemplative look.

I thought that the interface of the software in this world is similar to SONAR, and it is not a problem to bypass the touch class, but when I did it, I found that it was not at all as simple as I imagined, and the audio track interface was similar, but the toolbar and menu options were completely different.

Clicking on the properties of the audio track, Jiang Chen didn't see the option of timbre.

"Uncle, this arranging software is made by our country?" Jiang Chen was a little depressed and looked at Uncle Huang.

"Little prodigy, you know a lot about computers?" Huang Xianglong said with a smile, "This software is called "Logitech", which is a music software for making MIDI format, which is extremely powerful, and it is indeed produced in China, but it is one of the three major arranging software in the world. ”

Jiang Chen was a little drunk when he heard this.

How can I forget that in this time and space, Chinese capitalism has developed rapidly, replacing feudal society from a very early age, which has directly led to the current economy is very developed, and the achievements in science and technology can only be compared with the United States, and there are many independent intellectual property rights.

The "Logitech" audio editing function is powerful, and Jiang Chen can see it, but it is not easy to get started, and it is not as easy to learn as SONAR that Jiang Chen has learned, and I don't understand it for a while.

As a result, the following dialogue arose between Jiang Chen and Huang Xianglong:

"Uncle, how did Logitech choose the timbre?"

“……”

"Uncle, where is the clef of the music? Why can't I find it? ”

“……”

"Uncle, I'm going to make chords, where is the layout?"

“……”

Huang Xianglong answered patiently at first, but later he felt that Jiang Chen was teasing him.

Really speechless, Jiang Chen didn't even know these basic knowledge, and swore - I have read the arrangement book, and I think the arrangement is very simple.

That's it, one step at a time, it's very simple?

Of course, Huang Xianglong can also see that Jiang Chen's children are not ignorant, and they have a deep understanding of music theory, and they are worthy of the title of a little prodigy of music.

"I don't know what to do at all!"

A few minutes passed, Jiang Chen still couldn't figure out the software, and Huang Xianglong couldn't help laughing and scolding.

Chi Haidong was a little embarrassed, he couldn't stand it anymore, picked up Jiang Chen, who was making trouble, and embarrassedly asked Jiang Chen to continue to use the computer.

"I'm going to do it myself!" Of course, Jiang Chen struggled.

"Don't make a fuss, listen to your mother!" Chi Haidong glared at Jiang Chen, and then smiled at everyone, "Children are naughty!" ”

"Haha!"

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen with a smile and a happy expression.

When He Xintian saw this, he snorted and laughed, and his face was rippling with happy dimples.

Jiang Chen was hugged by Chi Haidong and was helpless.

He's already figured it out. In this birthday song, the piano main harmony, the violin takes the main melody, and the prelude interlude and the outro are used in a music box, pretending to be tinkered with for a while, and then the arrangement is completed.

But the reality is not as simple as imagined, and it is very simple to slap him.

The picture is like a martial arts master flying lightly, and he was about to show off his skills, when he suddenly tripped over a stone, and a dog ate.

Ay......

Jiang Chen was depressed, feeling that there was a lot to learn in this world, and if he wanted to play casually, he would make perfect music, which was definitely an unrealistic idea, and he really needed to put some effort into it, such as working singing skills, such as finding arranging talents, such as forming a strong team.

After all, a person's power is limited.

People often say that there are many skills and do not pressure the body, but in fact, it is very difficult to step into the top on the one hand, people do not have so much energy, too much care, but will appear mediocre.

Although he has many moving songs in his mind, it is impossible to restore the details of the arrangement completely. There are so many talents in this world, there is definitely no shortage of good songs, and without singing strength, no matter how good the song is, it will not resonate with the audience.

Jiang Chen also found that he needed a team.

In his last life, the company behind him gave him a lot of support in his career. In this life, he wants to shoot movies that will last for centuries, and he also needs a strong production team.

The work of the film includes: the creation of the play, the editing of the picture, the special effects of the music, the performance of the actors, costumes and props...... Jiang Chen can complete the music part, but the other parts require a strong production team.

He wanted to have the best production team in the world.

However, Jiang Chen is not very worried about the future, after all, he is still young, and he still has time to improve himself, according to his plan, he still has a lot of room for improvement.

……

……

As a result, Jiang Chen still couldn't accept other people's accompaniment, Jiang Chen wanted to make arrangements, and he didn't want others to interfere, so everyone couldn't listen to what they said.

"Jiang Chen, let's start recording."

Huang Xianglong lowered his posture and pleaded in every way, after all, his boss specially ordered to serve this customer well.

However, Jiang Chen did not appreciate it, his attitude was very resolute, and the scene was unconsciously deadlocked. Jiang Chen didn't want to record it, and no one could force it.

There was no way, Huang Xianglong had to compromise: "Then what do you want to do?" ”

Jiang Chen thought for a while and said, "There's no need to be very troublesome, just use the violin as the main theme, and I'll play the piano to harmonize, it's just simple." ”

"Where can I get you a musician now? Why don't you just start recording vocals? Huang Xianglong still didn't give up, and persuaded him.

"Violin?" He Cai seemed to have caught something, and said with a smile, "Tian Tianxue is the violin." ”

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Lori.

This song was originally recorded with little Lori, and it would be better if Little Lori played the main melody part.

If the piano is the king of musical instruments, then the violin is the queen of musical instruments, with beautiful timbre and strong expressiveness.

Little Lori is not very confident, she likes to paint, and she is not much interested in the violin, He Cai forced her to learn, not to mention that the violin skills are quite high.

However, when she looked at Jiang Chen's gaze, she couldn't help but purses her lips and nodded: "Of course I know how to play the violin." ”

The violin and piano were recorded separately.

The first to walk into the recording studio, He Xintian chose the violin that suited her specifications, exhaled lightly, and began her performance. The violin sounds like a human voice and is called a singing instrument, but due to the nervous feeling of Lori's first recording in the studio, the performance process was out of tune.

Huang Xianglong was not surprised, he monitored outside the recording studio, and found problems and fed back to Xiao Lori.

Many singers in the recording studio will not perform at the level they should due to psychological problems. Playing in a perfectly soundproof space like a recording studio is completely different from being in a KTV at home, and the pressure generated is very high. It's important to be completely relaxed in the studio.

Little Lori remained calm, played it a few times, bit her lips and turned a little pale, and finally played the song in its entirety.

Jiang Chen was actually not very satisfied, but he couldn't ask too much of the child, and gave a thumbs up to the little Lori, which made the little Lori breathe a sigh of relief.

Then Little Lori came out, Jiang Chen walked into the recording studio, and recorded the harmony with a beautiful piano sound according to his own understanding.

Compared with He Xintian, Jiang Chen is much better, Jiang Chen will not be so nervous that he forgets to tune, he plays briskly, and he succeeds at one time, without the slightest feeling of burden.

He Cai quietly recorded the performance of Jiang Chen and He Xintian in the recording studio, holding a single-lens reflex camera in his hand, preparing to use it as an image of the song MV.

"Xiao Tiantian and Xiao Jiang Chen are too talented, right?"

"People are child stars, they must have been educated since childhood, how can they be compared?"

"yes, I'm really surprised."

"Jiang Chen plays the piano with a decent ......"

Fans didn't hear the sound in the studio, but through the soundproof glass, they saw the scene of Jiang Chen and He Tian playing, and couldn't help but talk about it.

Especially Jiang Chen is in front of the piano, his fingers are playing flexibly, and he really feels like a piano prince.

Chi Haidong was outside the recording studio, and when he heard the chatter around him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a happy smile.

The piano sound is finished.

Soon after, Huang Xianglong put two pieces of music on different tracks on the computer and made a very simple accompaniment.
