Chapter 15: You Sing So Well
The recording engineer was stunned, and the people in the band were also stunned, and Wu Di's eyes showed a shocked light after a brief loss of consciousness.
No one would have thought that Cheng Peng would sing so well, not that there is no problem with his singing, his singing has many flaws, but listening to him sing a song is like seeing a person standing in front of you, telling you, calling you, and shouting to you. It's not singing, it's about conveying your inner emotions directly to the deepest part of your heart.
Anyone who sings knows that the most important thing in singing is not the perfection of technique, nor does it have to be perfect in sound, but about being emotionally invested. As long as the sincere emotions in your heart are expressed, even if you break your throat, you can move people's hearts. Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng are typical broken gong voices, but many songs only have flavor if they sing them.
Cheng Peng was immersed in the emotions of the past, crying like a complaint, singing sentence by sentence. When he sang the sentence "Even if tears flood the world, I won't let go", an inexplicable strong emotion suddenly surged in his heart.
That emotion is very complicated, it is sadness, despair, unwillingness, it is a desperate cry in a man's heart!
That's another person's emotions!
Cheng Peng was a little distracted, but immediately realized that this emotion came from Chen Shaoyu's memory, which was Chen Shaoyu's sadness, despair and unwillingness when he was dying. Cheng Peng seemed to see a man crying and wailing, begging God to give him a little more time and give him another chance!
He was immersed in a strong sad emotion, and even his voice seemed to have a bitter taste in it, this song was written about the love between men and women, and at this moment the emotions he conveyed were more sincere and pure, it was a flame that had not diminished across twelve years of time and space.
After singing the song, Cheng Peng was still immersed in that sad emotion, standing still and not moving, like a statue. At this moment, Cheng Peng had a certain realization in his heart, he knew that it was only at this time that he had completely integrated all of Chen Shaoyu's memories, as if he saw a man smiling and waving goodbye to him, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
The warm applause from the headset pulled Cheng Peng back to reality, he opened his eyes, exhaled heavily, smiled at the recording engineer behind the cypress glass, and said in his heart, Chen Shaoyu, you rest in peace, since I got your memory, then leave the rest to me, I will complete your dream, because that is also my dream!
"Cheng Peng, you sing so well, really well, I want to cry a little when I hear it." Wu Di's voice in the headset came into his ears, and Wu Di's tone sounded a little unbelievable, it was really difficult for someone like him to be impressed.
The sound engineer's voice also came: "I really didn't expect you to sing so well, it's really good!" You will definitely become popular, maybe recording this song for you is the most honorable thing in my life! ”
Cheng Peng wiped the wet marks from the corners of his eyes, he was sure that he could sing better than just now, and said with a smile: "Thank you, then can we officially record it?" ”
The recording engineer smiled: "You sing very well, but there are still some problems in singing, and if these problems can be solved, the effect will be better." The singing just now, the emotions conveyed before and after seem to be a little different, there is a pause in the middle, there is a bit of a problem with ventilation in several places, and the words are a little inaccurate. You come out first, and I'll tell you about it. ”
……
Under the guidance of the sound engineer, after more than two hours, several exercises, corrections, and guidance, "Myth" was finally recorded.
After the recording is completed, the rest will be handed over to the recording engineer, and it still needs to be repaired and mixed in the later stage, and finally the disc can be burned and handed over to Cheng Peng.
Cheng Peng walked out of the recording studio, ready to find a place to sit down slowly, walked to the lounge and saw a bunch of beer cans on the table, and the four members of the jet band were sitting on the sofa, drinking beer and chatting at the same time.
The people in the band were quite enthusiastic when they saw Cheng Peng, and greeted with a smile: "Cheng Peng, finished recording?" Come in and sit! ”
Wu Di even grabbed a can of beer and threw it to him, saying, "It will take several hours to repair the sound, sit down and talk." ”
After Cheng Peng sat down, Wu Di briefly introduced the members of the band, and then chatted while drinking.
After chatting for a while, Wu Di suddenly looked up at Cheng Peng and asked, "Cheng Peng, what do you think of our band?" ”
Cheng Peng didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "It's good, what's wrong?" ”
Wu Di said in a joking tone: "Our band doesn't have a suitable lead singer, I've been singing all the time, my voice is average, or you can be our lead singer, how about everyone playing music together?" ”
The lounge suddenly fell silent, and everyone else looked at Cheng Peng quietly, although they didn't speak, their eyes were full of anticipation.
Wu Di was joking, but Cheng Peng could see that they had such a mind. It's a pity that he doesn't have ambitions here, the preparation of the film is an extremely complicated and cumbersome process, it's not just a random sum of money, just find a few actors, there is a lot of work to be done before the film starts. He didn't have time at all, so he could only politely decline: "I have no plans to form a band for the time being, I'm really sorry!" ”
"It's okay, I'm kidding, you sing so well, you're going to become a superstar, it's too wasteful to mix with us." Wu Di waved his hand nonchalantly, but there was inevitably some loss in his eyes, and everyone else was the same.
Cheng Peng knew that the singers of the Beipiao family were no less than the actors, and it was very difficult to get ahead, Zhou Xun turned out to be a singer of the Beipiao, who sang in the bar, but he never came out, and finally relied on acting to break out of the world. He understood their feelings very well and explained with a smile: "I'm different from you, you have a passion for music in your heart, I don't, I sing just for money." ”
Wu Di and the others looked at Cheng Peng in surprise, they do like to sing, but they also want to make money, who doesn't want to make money? It's just that no one says it so bluntly like Cheng Peng.
Cheng Peng smiled: "Really, I don't have any feelings for music, I sing this song just to make money, it's very vulgar!" ”
Wu Di stared at Cheng Peng for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "No, you are not that kind of person, singing is the voice of the heart, I can hear from your singing that you are a fairly pure person, a person with dreams and enthusiasm!" ”
"I really want you to say that I am a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who is free from low-level tastes, and a person who is beneficial to the people!" Cheng Peng laughed and continued, "I do still have enthusiasm in my heart, but this enthusiasm does not come from music, but from movies, and I make money to raise funds for movies!" ”
"Making a movie?" The people in the band couldn't believe their ears, singing so well and going to make a movie, what a waste! However, they can also understand that some of them have a very good family background, and they can live well if they rely on their families, but he chose to do North Drift because he has his dreams here!
Stephen Chow is right, what is the difference between a person who has no dreams and salted fish?
Cheng Peng's tone was very firm: "Yes, make a movie." ”
The fat man of the band was a little interested in making a movie, after all, everyone knew about Zhou Xun, and asked: "What do you think of me as an actor?" ”
Cheng Peng looked up and down and said with a smile: "It's definitely no problem to be the actor in a third-level film." ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this: "Yes, yes, fat man, you can try, maybe you can become the second Xu Jinjiang and Charlie Cao, and become the new third-level king!" ”
The fat man patted his chest and said shamelessly: "No problem, if you can find Zhang Ziyi, don't talk about tertiary films, I'm also willing to be A movies!" ”
"Go to your sweet dreams, it's your turn to have this good thing, and I'm willing to pay for it!" Everyone laughed even harder.
Everyone doesn't want to make salted fish, although they like it differently, they can talk about it. Just sitting, drinking beer, chatting all over the world.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon, after more than four hours of post-editing and mixing, that Cheng Peng got the recorded disc and got up to say goodbye.
Cheng Peng, who recorded the song, was not in a hurry to find an Internet café to upload it, after all, it is not like a few years later, online music is still so developed, there are relatively few original music websites, and the impact is not particularly large, if you want to form a sensation in the short term, you can only find another way.
It's 2003, Youku, Tudou hasn't been born yet, there is no special video website at all, and Cheng Peng can't do it even if he wants to learn from Xu Yumasculine.
But he thought of another way, and that was to make a flash music animation!
In the past two years, flash animation has been very popular on the Internet, especially among young people, what "Little Broken Child Series", "Big Talk of the Three Kingdoms", etc., of course, there are singers who have become popular with flash.
In 2001, the unknown singer Snow Village became popular on the Internet with the help of flash animation "Northeast People Are Living Lei Feng", and the phrase "Cuihua, sauerkraut" became a popular phrase, and the song "Lilac" that inspired Cheng Peng can become popular, and it is inseparable from the boost of flash.
In the ten days before going to the recording studio to record songs, Cheng Peng stayed at home, in addition to writing songs, the most important thing was to make flash animation, and he had already made a five-minute animated short film for "Myth".
The length of the song "Myth" is 4 minutes and 55 seconds, but Cheng Peng's flash is 5 minutes, so some shots must be cut.
It took two hours for the full flash to finally finish. Cheng Peng watched the flash of "Mythology" from beginning to end several times, and felt quite satisfied. Although the production level of Flash is not particularly high, and the drawing skills are not exquisite, the audience will definitely be able to understand this touching story.
Isn't the combination of a moving story and a melancholy music the best tear gas?
Cheng Peng walked out of the building with a USB flash drive in his hand, and saw a large golden cloud in the sky, and the last enthusiasm was being thrown in the middle of the cloud. He knew that when the sun rose again, it would be a new day, and a new chapter in his life would begin!
