Chapter 20: The First Pot of Gold
() (5,000 words big chapter delivered!) οΌ
(Several friends persuaded Gao Yin, saying that four or five thousand words in a chapter is not worth it.) However, the treble is used to saying a thing completely before dividing it into chapters, and the rhythm of more than 2,000 words is really unaccustomed, haha. οΌ
(Thank you to all the friends who have given me support and encouragement!) The treble will carefully write every chapter! οΌ

After lunch, Ye Zi followed Sun Yun and came to the recording studio of Sun Yun's music studio for the first time.
The recording work was extremely smooth.
In less than three hours, all ten guitar tracks with accompaniment had been recorded.
Ye Zi's strong ability to read music and sight-reading, his steady and excellent guitar playing ability, and his ability to improvise at any time when needed, all of which amazed everyone present.
The business representative of Taihai FeiTu Company, the entrusting party of this accompaniment recording, said on the spot that he hoped that in the future in the accompaniment production business undertaken by Sun Yun Studio, all the guitar sound tracks would be played by Ye Zi. At the same time, he also sent a special invitation to Ye Zi on behalf of the company, hoping that in the future, at the right time, Ye Zi can have the opportunity to go to Taiwan to participate in the production of singers' albums in the Taiwan Strait, and they will arrange everything in advance.
These are of course all good things.
Sun Yun, as Ye Zi's teacher, discussed with the business representative a little and decided on these things. But now I can start working on it, and for the time being, the only thing is to record the guitar soundtrack.
In the future, Ye Zi will continue to receive money because of the recording of guitar soundtracks. Although this business is only a small amount of money, it will not be of much help to Ye Zi's future plans. But with the arrival of this money, at least Ye Zi can be guaranteed to have no worries about food and clothing during his college years.
What's more, Ye Zi's highlight today hasn't started yet!
ββββββββββ
"Okay, let's talk about it now, I think you should be in a hurry if you don't talk about it again! Haha, you little guy is really interesting, you started thinking about making money at such a young age? β
After the guitar sound track was recorded, Sun Yun paid attention to the work in Lu Zheng's hand and chatted with the client of Taiwan for a long time. Ye Zi was not in a hurry at all, and sat on the side and waited patiently. After a long time, Sun Yun pulled Ye Zi to sit on the sofa at the back of the control room and began to discuss things formally.
In fact, Lu Zheng was present in the recording work, and Sun Yun did not need to be staring at it all the time.
Regarding Ye Zi's thoughts, Sun Yun's heart was somewhat conflicted.
"I've already thought about your thoughts, and to be honest, I haven't made up my mind yet." Sun Yun was very frank and did not hide it in front of his disciples.
"It's good that you can make money by trying to improve your life and gain experience in music production. I am generally supportive of your idea. β
Sun Yun has lived in Europe and the United States all the year round, and he has a lot of experience with the idea of young people making a living on their own.
"However, I also have two questions. If these two points cannot be resolved, I will not agree to you. β
Ye Zi nodded, knowing in his heart that this was Sun Yun's request.
These two points are easy to guess: first, Ye Zi was able to ensure that he had time to practice the piano and sing when he spent a lot of time making the accompaniment. This is certainly non-negotiable. Second, that is, whether Ye Zi has enough ability to produce an accompaniment that meets the requirements.
Sure enough, Sun Yun immediately raised these two questions.
"If you can't guarantee that making a zuΓ² accompaniment won't delay your progress in music, then you don't have to say anything more. This is a prerequisite! β
Sun Yun's tone was very light, but the meaning in his words was clear and clear, and there was no room for accommodation.
Ye Zi came prepared, of course, he would not be intimidated by Sun Yun's tone.
"Teacher Sun, these are the two accompaniments that I have made in the past few days, you can listen to them and see if they can meet the requirements." Ye Zi handed the prepared tape to Sun Yun.
"As for whether γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» acceptance of business will affect my musical progress, Mr. Sun, I can promise to arrange my time every day. You see, here's the scheduling plan I made last night. β
Ye Zi took out a few pieces of paper again and handed them to Sun Yun, on which was the daily schedule made by Ye Zi, which was very detailed, and even after the start of school, the time schedule during the university was carefully planned.
Taking over Ye Zi's plan, Sun Yun looked at it very carefully.
Ye Zi continued: "Teacher Sun, I know that no matter how good the plan is, no matter how much I guarantee it today, these are still empty. Now, I don't have a way to prove to you that I can do it. Teacher Sun, you can see my actual performance in the future. β
"The plan is good and the timing is reasonable." After reading Ye Zi's plan, Sun Yun nodded: "But as you said, no matter how well the plan is done, it is still a plan after all, and the most important thing is to see the implementation." β
After speaking, Sun Yun nodded again: "Okay, since you have already considered this problem and made such a planγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» if I, the teacher, don't give you a chance again, it will be a bit too much." Well, even if you pass the first question for the time being, the next thing is to see your future performance. But γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Sun Yun's tone changed: "Ye Zi, I'll say the ugly things in front, if I find out that you can't do this, then I will immediately take back all your work, and you can concentrate on practicing the piano and singing for me." β
Glancing at Ye Zi out of the corner of his eye, Sun Yun smiled: "You don't have to worry about life, your teacher still has a few small money, and it's not bad for you." β
"Teacher! γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Ye Zi only called the teacher, and he couldn't say any more.
Sun Yun's meaning is very clear. If Ye Zi can't meet Sun Yun's requirements, Sun Yun would rather provide Ye Zi's living needs for four years of college by himself, and let him move forward bravely without any ties in music. Although, this was a common situation in the teacher-student relationship at that time, and some students from poor families even ate and lived in the teacher's house. However, Sun Yun's joking promise still made Ye Zi, who was mixed in the night market and experienced the coldness and coldness of human affection, and his mood was tumbling and excited!
"That's it!"
Sun Yun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Even if I don't have much money, your teacher Ni is a real rich man." He's not married, he's alone, and it's nothing if you just help him spend it, haha! β
Ye Zi didn't say any more words of thanks, there was no need! What Sun Yun and Ni Jun wanted was not Ye Zi's thanks!
"Teacher Sun, I won't let this happen, I promise!" Ye Zi said very seriously.
Sun Yun didn't care, nodded with a smile and said, "That's good, that's good!" β
ββββββββββ
After a while, the recording work of the recording engineer Lu Zheng came to an end. Sun Yun took Ye Zi's tape and walked over.
γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
"You did this?"
After the two accompaniments were played, Sun Yun asked in surprise.
"What, this is what you did?" The other two voices followed Sun Yun's question, sounding almost simultaneously.
"Brother Yun, these two accompaniments are well done! Is it really Ye Zi who did it? Lu Zheng was also surprised in his heart.
FeiTu's sales representatives asked questions again and again, and they vaguely felt that they had found talents.
FeiTu, a company specializing in the production of accompaniment tapes, has a wide range of activities in the mainland, and over the years the representative has heard countless accompaniment works. Among them, only the quality of Sun Yun's studio works is completely satisfactory to him. It was the first time he had heard an accompaniment from another source that could be comparable to the quality of Sun Yun's studio's work. If it weren't for the fact that these two accompaniments hadn't been mixed in post-production, he could have used them directly as finished products.
The accompaniment sample brought by Ye Zi, except that there was no post-mixing processing, was almost exactly the same as the original accompaniment, and there was nothing wrong with it.
If it weren't for the clear knowledge that there was no such accompaniment tape for sale on the market in Shencheng at present, the three people present might have thought that this was a finished tape bought by Ye Zi.
ββββββββββ
"Oh, I remember." Sun Yun patted his head lightly: "When I saw you at Xiao Huang's place that day, you said that you had ordered a synthesizer and were going to build a small music studio." These two accompaniments should be made from that instrument, right? β
"Yes, Mr. Sun." Ye Zi replied: "I used the 01W synthesizer I ordered to make zuΓ²." β
"01W? Well, a very good piano! Lu Zheng continued: "We also use 01W here." β
Sun Yun thought for a while and asked, "Ye Zi, you shouldn't have purchased the sound source, right?" β
Ye Zi nodded.
"So, what do you do with those special tones? I listened to these two accompaniments, and some of the timbres should be tailor-made, and there is no such timbre in 01W. How do you do it without a sound source? Sun Yun was a little puzzled.
Ye Zi had already prepared for this question: "Teacher Sun, I am a self-synthesized timbre. β
"Synthesized tones?" Sun Yun frowned.
ββββββββββ
In a piece of music, sometimes you need to use a very special timbre, and this timbre does not exist in the real world. This happens in many songs.
This situation is well solved when the work is made zuΓ². You can do whatever it suits, and you can do it all in one go, as long as the maker thinks it's OK.
However, the zuΓ² accompaniment is not good.
Because the person who made the zuΓ² accompaniment is not clear what kind of method the original maker of the work used to make this special timbre. You can rely on your own experience to guess, but in this case, complete tonal consistency is almost impossible.
And as Ye Zi said, it makes sense to combine several different timbres to synthesize that particular timbre. In later generations, this is also a very normal and common solution, and all that is needed is to spend a little more time and experiment a few more times.
But now, in 1991, it's not as simple as taking a little more time to achieve this synth tone in an old synthesizer like 01W.
At the time, the normal solution was to find the closest one from a source with a large number of tones. Alternatively, this timbre specimen can be collected externally with a sound sampler to solve this problem.
Ye Zi was able to solve it perfectly with just one synthesizer, which was a bit unbelievable for the few people present.
ββββββββββ
"So, you can use the 01W here to show me." Sun Yun frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Just do the prelude to the song "Actually, You Don't Understand My Heart". β
Sun Yun is an extremely conscientious and responsible teacher who can't tolerate sloppiness, and he doesn't like to talk big and lie. Since Ye Zi said that he could do this with a synthesizer, it would be better to test it on the spot.
In the song "Actually, You Don't Understand My Heart", the lead instrument that runs through the front and back uses an extremely special timbre. Like a flute is not a flute, like a flute is not a flute, it makes sense to say that it is shakuhachi, and there is nothing wrong with being an ocarina. This timbre is extremely difficult to define, and it must belong to the timbre deliberately made by the maker. If Ye Zi can really use 01W to synthesize this timbre, Sun Yun can rest assured and boldly transfer some of his business to Ye Zi.
"Okay, Mr. Sun." Ye Zi was confident, walked to the side of the synthesizer rack in a hurry, turned on the power, and started working.
γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
In less than an hour, Ye Zi clicked the play button of the synthesizer, and the prelude music, which was almost identical to the original, came out of the monitor speakers connected to the synthesizer.
In order not to expose the existence of Xiao Qi and the system, Ye Zi deliberately slowed down, and it took several times the usual time to make the prelude of this short eighteen bars. For a newcomer who has just been exposed to synthesizers, this speed is actually very fast.
"Papapa", FeiTu's business representative was the first to clap his hands.
"Mr. Xiaoye, very good!" This representative Sun speaks Taiwanese Mandarin and knocks his thumb high.
When Sun Yun used the shakuhachi as a skeleton and mixed the other two unknown timbres to create that special timbre, he knew that Ye Zi had not exaggerated just now, and he had really found a way to make a synthetic timbre. That's a great thing!
Moreover, looking at Ye Zi's proficiency in operating the synthesizer on the spot, Sun Yun has no worries about Ye Zi's ability to ensure the quality of the accompaniment tape.
patted Ye Zi's shoulder, Sun Yun was very pleased.
"It's done very well, and the ideas and ideas are very good." Sun Yun said happily: "It seems that I just don't want to transfer the business to you, and our Sun representatives will not agree." Come on Ye Zi, let's talk. Representative Sun, please join us. It seems that in the future, the business of making zuΓ² accompaniment belt will mainly depend on Ye Zi! β
ββββββββββ
Time passed day by day, and soon it was the end of August, and it had been almost two months since Ye Zi was reborn. In a few days, Ye Zi will report to the school and officially start his college career after being reborn.
Ye Zi's money-making plan was carried out smoothly with the strong support of Sun Yun.
Last time, in front of Representative Sun, Sun Yun handed over the 17 accompaniment list of FeiTu Company directly to Ye Zi, and agreed to enter the shed to make zuΓ² in half a month.
Sun Yun also invited Ye Zi to participate in the recording of the male voice song demonstration part and the recording of the guitar part in the accompaniment.
Privately, Sun Yun and Ye Zi also negotiated the remuneration for this job.
Sun Yun's price for Ye Zi was 25,000 yuan. Although it is a little less than Ye Zi's direct order, it is still the same sentence, the master-apprentice relationship is placed there after all. Besides, the channel is also provided by Teacher Sun Yun, if you really have to calculate carefully, Ye Zi can't get so much from other people's orders. If you change to someone else, a large amount of intermediary fees are absolutely indispensable. Now like this, Mr. Sun Yun and Ye Zi themselves are very satisfied, which can be described as a win-win situation!
With the 5,000 yuan in cash paid by Sun Yun in advance, Ye Zi's life can finally be a little more comfortable.
The business of making zuΓ² accompaniment, Ye Zi is competent and pleasant.
With the strong support of the system, Ye Zi only took five days to complete the production of all 17 accompaniments. This was completed by Ye Zi in his spare time of studying, practicing, singing, and practicing. If Ye Zi goes all out, he can do it all in one day.
Of course, it is impossible to sleep during this day.
