Chapter 780: Sister Mei's Worries
Ye Zi and Wen Wen hurried to the/one/studio, and as soon as they entered the gate and turned the logo wall, Sister Mei's voice rang in Ye Zi's ears. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Stinky boy, you're here! What benefits did Qizai give you, you didn't see anyone for a whole week. ”
The footsteps sounded softly, and a pair of arms had already hugged Ye Zi tightly, and a faint fragrance lingered on Ye Zi's nose.
"Sister Mei!" Ye Zi's face turned red all of a sudden, and he struggled and shouted.
"Don't move, let me hug it obediently." Sister Mei whispered "threatened": "Otherwise, I will remember what you didn't tell me when you held a concert, and I would be very, very angry." ”
Ye Zi immediately stopped struggling.
A week ago, Sister Mei was "furious" when she saw Ye Zi, and scolded him for his "bad behavior" of not inviting herself to the concert. On that day, Ye Zi was "criticized" by Sister Mei for more than an hour, and after saying all the good things, he was "ravaged" by Sister Mei, and Sister Mei let him go for the time being. However, Sister Mei said at the time that whether she would finally lose her anger or not depends on Ye Zi's next performance.
Now when he heard Sister Mei's "threat" again, where did Ye Zi dare to move indiscriminately.
Feeling that Ye Zi in her arms was no longer struggling, Sister Mei smiled, and with a "mmmm" sound, she put a faint lip print on Ye Zi's forehead, and rubbed his hair casually, and then let him go.
In Wen Wen's snickering, Ye Zi hurriedly reached out to wipe his forehead and straighten his hairstyle, his face was already so red that he was about to drip.
Sister Mei laughed.
"Let's go, little leaf, let's go in." Sister Mei affectionately took Ye Zi's arm and walked towards the recording control room inside.
……
"Brother Kun, I haven't seen you for a long time, and this time I'm going to trouble you again."
After entering the recording control room, Sister Mei let go of Ye Zi and sat down on the sofa, Ye Zi first said hello to the recording engineer Ah Kun.
Ah Kun still looked like he was not smiling, turned around and nodded to Ye Zi, and continued his recording preparations. the/one/studio There is no shortage of recording engineers here, Ah Kun's recording technology is one of the best in Xiangjiang, and this time Sister Mei's album recording Ye Zi is a little more relaxed.
The recording work is about to officially start, Sister Mei no longer jokes with Ye Zi, and the whole person's attitude immediately became serious.
"Xiao Yezi, which one will you record today?" Sister Mei asked.
Ye Zi was surprised: "What, didn't Sister Hui tell you about the recording arrangements for the past few days?" I told her a long time ago. ”
"I said it, and I have prepared the song "Love You a Thousand Times in My Life" to be recorded today, and there will definitely be no problems. Small leaves, you can be completely assured of this. Sister Mei's answer was very confident, and the posture of the emperor's superstar was full.
This is also the performance that Sister Mei should have, a superstar of Sister Mei's status, how can she do it if her momentum is weak.
"But ......" Sister Mei hesitated for a moment and continued: "Xiao Yezi, to be honest, I have some doubts about this new song you added. ”
"Xiao Yezi, I'm not saying that this song is bad, I also like this song "Your Eyes" myself, but ...... After you called me last time, we left the arrangement of many of the songs on this album to Bao Pida, and he did a great job, and we all liked his style of arrangement. At present, the music style of the whole album is leaning in the direction of his arrangement, which is also what you requested. ”
"It's just that now you have added this song "Your Eyes", can such a simple and simple song match Bao Pida's arrangement style?"
"Xiaoyezi, I'm more worried about this."
……
Sister Mei's worries sound a bit clueless, but they are actually very targeted. To understand Sister Mei's worries, we must first introduce Bao Bida.
Don't be deceived by the very foreign name of Bao Pida, although his Chinese is stumbling and extremely non-standard, and he holds an E passport, but he is an authentic Chinese born in Xiangjiang.
At an early age, he began to learn the piano, at the age of seven he was able to perform in nightclubs to earn money to support his family, and by the age of ten he had become a professional musician. In 1978, Bao Bida, then the music director of Xiangjiang Kebai Records, returned to school and made a special trip to the Berklee Conservatory of Music to study composition and arrangement. In the early 80s, Bao Bida returned to Hong Kong after completing his studies and began to participate in the album production of many first-line singers and big-name singers, such as Xu Guanjie, Zhang Guorong, Lin Zixiang and many other albums, Bao Bida has appeared in the arrangement.
It's a pity that although Bao Bida has a strong ability in arranging and producing music, until the early 90s, the only representative work he could get his hands on was the original soundtrack of the Taiwan Strait TV series "Yang Guifei" that he participated in the production in 84, and in the albums of big-name singers and first-line singers, he often only appeared as an arranger.
Producer, it is not his turn for the time being, even if he already has such ability.
Ye Zi knew that it would be a few more years before this person's turnaround, and it would not be until he met Coco Li that he would truly become famous and establish his status as a top producer in the Asian pop music scene. However, now in 1992, Bao Pida's reputation in the circle is only his arrangement. As a music director of a small company in 78 years, it is obvious that he has been a miserable person in the past ten years and has not been able to reach his ideal height.
As an excellent arrangement, the style of the arrangement made by Bao Pida is very distinct, that is, the combination of Chinese and Western is very good, which is actually very similar to Mr. Gu Jiahui. His arrangements can not only reflect the characteristics of Chinese folk music, but also perfectly combine with Western music, and are not conventional.
Such a style is used in "Woman Flower", Sister Mei's comeback album, Ye Zi thinks it is very suitable.
Because of Ye Zi's appearance, Sister Mei's "Woman Flower" album has changed a lot compared to the version in Ye Zi's memory. The original album was full of warm care and watery tenderness, and it was an excellent healing female album, which was very much in line with Sister Mei's image and situation at that time. But the situation in this world has changed, Sister Mei returned to the music scene two years ahead of schedule, so when Ye Zi is considering this album, he can't completely follow all the elements of the album in his memory, and he must add or subtract them appropriately. So when recording the song "Woman Flower" half a year ago, Ye Zi considered adding a hifi fever record factor to this album on the basis of women's warmth and tenderness.
The reason why this factor is considered is also for a reason.
First, Ye Zi has always had a lot of complaints about the recording and production of the "Woman Flower" album in his previous life, such as Sister Mei's voice processing is too hard, the volume ratio between vocals and accompaniment is not balanced enough, and the sound field is a bit blurry, etc., although these small problems in details have a certain relationship with the era, they still make this extremely excellent album a lot less colorful.
Second, judging from the quality of the album and Sister Mei's popularity, this should have been a super hit album with millions of sales (Taiwan Strait market), but unfortunately, even though the song "Woman Flower" quickly became popular as soon as it was broadcast on radio and television, and has been sung decades later, the sales of this album at that time were very unsatisfactory.
So after Ye Zi took over the producer of this album, he knew that he had to change, otherwise, "Woman Flower" might still fall into the embarrassing situation of being applauded or not.
Increasing the hifi fever factor of the album is one of the important changes, and the realization of this measure has a lot to do with the arrangement of Baubida.
Ye Zi's request, among so many musicians in Xiangjiang and Taihai, Bao Bida is the most suitable and most likely arrangement. Around the turn of the century in the previous life, the "Encounter" album that Bao Bida collaborated with Cai Qing, an evergreen in the Taiwan Strait music scene, was a fever record with excellent vocal recording, in which Bao Bida's arrangement and supervision (production) played a decisive role. In addition to his collaboration with Cai Qing, Bao Bida also participated in the production of many hifi records that are popular among audiophiles.
In this era, among so many musicians in Xiangjiang and Taihai, only Bao Bida has shown a strong interest in the fever characteristics of singers' albums, and attempts to use the fever factor can often be heard in his arranging works.
Of course, Ye Zi would choose him.
But it is precisely because of this that Sister Mei is a little worried.
Bao Pida's arrangement style is originally more foreign, and Ye Zi's request is to rely on the production of this album to the road of fever records, so how can the old song "Your Eyes", which is known for its simplicity and naturalness in terms of lyrics and songs, be combined with the style of this album? Could such a pinch be a kind of forced fitting? Is it appropriate to put it together? Does it sound good? Can fans accept such an old song sung by Sister Mei?
And also...... And so on and so forth.
There are so many questions, if Sister Mei doesn't worry about it at all, that's the really strange thing. (To be continued.) )
