Goodbye Donnu and Godspeed Recording

"Brother Tangnu, I'm so glad to see you again. ”

At half past twelve at noon the next day, Ye Zi came to The/One/Studio on time accompanied by Brother Keny. Before entering the control room, Ye Zi saw Tang Nu, the Asian drum king who was waiting for him in the lounge. Esri.

After hugging Tang Nu warmly, Ye Zi happily greeted him.

"Little Yezi, I'm glad to see you again. I think you should come to Xiangjiang, there are favorable conditions to realize your dreams. Donnu was equally pleased.

"Huh? Brother Tangnu, are you a lobbyist again? Ye Zi joked with Tang Nu and didn't answer him directly.

Tang Nu pressed Ye Zi's shoulder hard and said with a smile: "This is my own idea, especially after I made the arrangement of these two songs for you." I feel like we have a lot of ideas that are very close in terms of music, why don't we make the best combination, I mean in terms of songwriting. ”

"How, think about it?"

"Okay, I'll think about it." Ye Zi nodded: "But Brother Tang Nu, shouldn't you let go?" I'm going to be scratched on the shoulder. ”

"Huh? Hahaha, I'm sorry, I'm so excited. Tang Nu said with a smile. Letting go of his arm, he continued to speak.

"By the way, Xiaoyezi, what do you think of the arrangement of these two songs? Is it to your liking? ”

"You know what? I revised the arrangements of these two songs four or five times, and finally I was quite satisfied. But I still don't know what you think. ”

"Hurry up, I'll hear your opinion."

As soon as he talked about the arrangement, Tang Nu's eyebrows immediately fluttered, as if he had changed someone. His current interest in arranging music is even more than playing the drums.

"I am very satisfied. Brother Tangnu, what you didn't say in these two arrangements is this. Ye Zi smiled and stretched out his hands, his thumbs cocked high.

"If you tell me now that you recorded the drums in these two songs, then I will be happier and more satisfied."

"Of course." Ye Zi's praise made Tang Nu very happy in his heart: "This is your work." It's me again, how can I find someone else to play the drums? ”

"Is there a better drummer in Xiangjiang than me?"

Tang Nu said this sentence arrogantly, but he was indeed telling the truth. In the current Xiangjiang pop music scene, I really can't find a better than Tang Nu. Eisley is even better as a drummer.

Ye Zi was overjoyed. Hugged Donnu again.

"Brother Tangnu, in this case, the fee I gave you will not be enough, I will make it up to you."

As soon as he heard this, Tang Nu's face sank: "Xiao Yezi, are you scolding me?" Do you still recognize me as a brother? Am I missing you this money? ”

"Besides, I'll turn against you!"

Tang Nu stared at Ye Zi angrily, with an unkind look on his face.

"Yes, yes, yes." Ye Zi hurriedly apologized: "It was my mistake." Brother Tangnu, I shouldn't have mentioned this to you. ”

"That's it, Brother Tang Nu, if I invite you to drink in the evening, you should give me a face, and give me a chance to compensate you."

"That's pretty much it." Tang Nu turned his anger into joy: "Then I want to drink 82-year-old Lafite, is there any?" I'll go if there's me. ”

"Brother Tangnu, you are deliberately trying to bankrupt me!" Ye Zi said with a smile: "Okay! No problem! Isn't it just a bottle of Lafite? I'm going to treat you to this tonight. ”

"Hahaha, okay, this is my Tang Nu's brother." Tang Nu patted Ye Zi's shoulder vigorously and laughed: "Then it's decided." ”

"I'll take you to Lan Kwai Fong in the evening to let you see the bar culture in Hong Kong. But forget about Rafite. We don't have to drink that, you just have to have a beer with me. ”

Tang Nu knew that Ye Zi usually didn't drink alcohol.

Ye Zi smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, my good brother, when the time comes, you just lead the way, and I'll do the rest, okay?" ”

"Brother Keny, let's go together at night, don't go by yourself."

As soon as he turned around, Ye Zi invited with a smile. On such an occasion, it is impossible for Ye Zi to forget Brother Keny.

Brother Keny also smiled and agreed: "Xiao Yezi, of course I have to go for a treat, and I have to take Ethan with me to slaughter you well." ”

Like this, I can further get closer to Ye Zi in a personal relationship. Of course, it was impossible for Brother Keny to refuse. More importantly, he hoped that Chen Yichen could learn more from Ye Zi.

Just like this incident just now, Ye Zi talked about money with Tang Nu, first to express his gratitude. Don Nu can not care if he doesn't want this money. But Ye Zi can't help but mention that this is the truth of being a man and a friend. Second, Ye Zi probably also knew that Tang Nu would not ask for money, and he would pretend to be angry, so he just took the opportunity to invite Tang Nu to drink, and he repaid this favor. It can further deepen the relationship with each other.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Tang Nu is an old Jianghu, how can he not see Ye Zi's intentions and plans? But he was happy to agree, and apparently he was very receptive to it.

As for the 82-year-old Lafite, of course, it was a joke between Tang Nu and Ye Zi. But Brother Keny is now sure that there will be this 82-year-old Lafite in the wine he drank tonight.

This is Ye Zi's sincerity.

This kind of interaction seems very natural, without any deliberateness, and both parties have a tacit understanding. This kind of interpersonal skills, Chen Yichen is still very lacking.

……

Starting at one o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Zi has to complete the recording of two songs three times in a row, which is equivalent to recording three songs.

One is the Chinese version of "I Wait Until the Flowers Are Thanks", and there will be two versions of the arrangement of this song in the album. A version of Unplugged made by Ye Zi himself, as well as a version arranged by Tang Nu. The main song in the album is the Tang Nu version, and the unplugged version will be used as an additional song to reflect Ye Zi's heart for fans.

An album that was originally ten songs is made into eleven songs, and fans will definitely be very satisfied with this heart. Then the song needs to be recorded twice to correspond to different versions.

Another new song is Ye Zi's own private goods, which is a work "Jiangnan Road" that he likes very much in the album published in his previous life. (PS: Fictional songs, referring to singer Fang Yuan's "South. On the Beijing Road", this song may not be easy to find, a very old song, good to listen to. )

This "Jiangnan Road" is a leisurely and lazy song with a bit of jazz flavor, and it is a very distinctive non-love song. The content of the lyrics is very simple, that is, in the evening drizzle, a bored traveler wandering on the most prosperous Jiangnan Road in Shencheng, mixed with some of the traveler's mood and caprice.

In the creation of this song, Ye Zi adopted a three-beat walking speed and a rhythmic pattern similar to a glide dance, the melody is smooth with a little light and playful, and some characteristics of jazz songs are deliberately added to match the leisurely and lazy taste described in the lyrics.

Tang Nu's arrangements focus on enhancing the jazz flavor, and he uses a combination of piano, jazz drums, wooden bass, and two violins, which is very close to the Unplugged arrangement style that Ye Zi likes.

Such a song with a unique style will bring some color changes to Ye Zi's first album, so that this album with the theme of love songs can accommodate . Incorporate more content and features in it, and it won't seem too monotonous. And the weight of this feature is not too heavy, which weakens the theme of the album.

Songs other than the main song also need to be taken into account in the process of making an album. If the song is chosen properly, such a song that wanders outside the theme of the album will definitely add a lot of color to the whole album.

I had to record three songs in one afternoon, and I was still a little short on time. After greeting Tang Nu for a few words and confirming the matter of going to Lan Kwai Fong at night, several people walked into the control room.

Today's recording engineer is still that Ah Kun.

Ye Zi said hello to Ah Kun and walked into the recording room to stand by. Tang Nu is also in place next to Ah Kun, he is the song producer specially invited by Ye Zi.

After some audition and debugging, the recording officially began.

No one expected in advance that the recording of the three songs this afternoon would be completed in just two hours.

Ye Zi has always recorded songs very quickly, and these two are 'old songs' that he is very familiar with, and he will not waste any time at all when recording.

Each song is followed by the accompaniment first, and Ah Kun is asked to adjust different sound details according to the different songs and arrangements. Then the second time was officially recorded, the third time was sometimes to make up for some small mistakes, and sometimes Ye Zi recorded a different way of singing.

After that, the recording of the song was declared OK.

During the entire recording process in the afternoon, Tang Nu, as the producer, was so idle that he was almost unemployed.

As soon as Ye Zi's singing came out, it was almost the kind of singing he wanted to hear, and he couldn't find anything wrong, so he could only look for some occasional small mistakes. Sometimes he would ask Ye Zi to sing according to his ideas, but the effect was often not as good as Ye Zi's previous singing. After trying it twice, Tang Nu died of this heart and let Ye Zi play on his own.

Under the stimulation of Ye Zi, the recording engineer Ah Kun also played a very high level. He completely excavated Ye Zi's vocal characteristics, and all the voice adjustments were reasonable and in place, even if he hadn't done any post-effects yet, Ye Zi's singing voice had been perfectly glued together with the accompaniment of Tang slave Zuò.

Ye Zi deeply admired this.

Tang Nu even thinks that these songs can now be sold directly into CDs.

This is of course impossible.

Songs that have not been post-processed, like a bride who has not yet put on her wedding dress and red hijab, how can you see a full house of guests?

But it can also be seen from this that this recording in the afternoon really shocked Tang Nu, the old Jianghu.

It's not yet three o'clock in the afternoon, and there is only a short two-hour working time, and Ye Zi's three songs have been fully recorded, just waiting for the post-production.

That's speed! (To be continued.) )
