Chapter 659: Torment
Du Xinghe has said everything about this, and Xiao Tianlang has nothing more to say. Otherwise, the more you say it, the more suspicious Du Xinghe will be. Although this young genius is young, Xiao Tianlang knows that Du Xinghe's thinking is very thorough, and his personality is a little suspicious. Du Xinghe will not take it lightly, believing that he really wants to push the cloud world up. And it is impossible for him to tell Du Xinghe about his own grand plan, otherwise he will use the cloud world as an important bargaining chip for him to pry the national entertainment team in the future, and with Du Xinghe's arrogant personality, he will definitely not be willing to do it.
Du Xinghe changed the topic at this time and said: "Xiao ZhizuΓ², please come to dinner today, I still want to ask you for help." β
"Oh? Tell me what's going on. Xiao Tianlang is very interested, he has always taken the initiative to cooperate with Du Xinghe, Du Xinghe has not taken the initiative to ask them for anything, and now Du Xinghe has put down his body and come to ask him for help, which is exactly what he wants, he just wants to help Du Xinghe more, and exchange his heart for the trust of this peerless genius.
"That's right, next month, our company wants to promote a girl group's song." Du Xinghe is looking for Xiao Tianlang to help, it is the Yama King combination, the market tolerance of this mixed-race combination is too low, with the resources and strength of the cloud world alone, it is difficult to push this combination, he must join forces with Guoyu, with the help of Guoyu's huge publicity channels and resources to promote this combination, of course, he can't sue SΓΉ Guoyu, what he wants to push is a mixed-race group, otherwise it will be too dangerous, in case the Guoyu side leaks some news, his overall plan to speak out first and then push people may be in vain.
Xiao Tianlang was slightly stunned when he heard that Cloud World was going to push the girl group. Shen said: "Isn't your company's focus next month to promote Xu Nuo's new album?" Why do you want to push other girl groups? β
"Actually, I can't push this group, I want the graduation season is coming, and I want to push them to come out with a song, it's about the graduation season, and I want to build momentum for them first." Knowing that Xiao Tianlang's team will launch its little king Su Shenghua's graduation season masterpiece in June, and Xiao Tianlang's team will focus on promoting Su Shenghua's "You at the Same Table" in the graduation season. I don't want them to be exposed right now. I just want to promote one of their works first and see how the market responds. β
Xiao Tianlang pondered: "You are really taking precautions, and the next batch of high-quality singers is not enough." Are you still training new people? β
Du Xinghe smiled: "Xiao ZhizuΓ², you are joking with me." I've only had a few singers under my command. You can count it with one hand, how can this singer be enough. The group we are currently training is still relatively young and cannot be compared to the online girl group. It will take at least more than a year of tempering before they can come out. I just want to publish a work for them first, give them some confidence, and also give our company some confidence. β
Xiao Tianlang nodded and said, "I probably understand what you mean." β
Du Xinghe said again: "Actually, we also have some channels to make this song, there is currently a very high-quality campus TV series in South China, and we have won the ending song, and we will use this song." That TV series will be released on 12 cities satellite TV in the south at the end of next month. There should be a lot of viewers watching it then, which should help us promote this song. But the promotion of youth campus dramas is limited after all, and it is not nationwide. I want to see if I can use your national entertainment channels to help launch this song, mainly on the radio. We don't get involved in the TV industry, because I don't want this group to be exposed so early, I think this group has a bit of a mystery and hangs the audience's appetite. β
"Engage in mystery...... This trick is a bit too subtle. Xiao Tianlang instructed Du Xinghe with his own experience: "Now is not as open as ten years ago, the market is very open, the competition is fierce, and the patience of the audience is also limited. If you don't do anything now, many singers are still forgotten by the market, what are you doing, this ......" Xiao Tianlang didn't want to say too harshly, after all, Du Xinghe was not his subordinate. If his subordinates came up with such a plan, he would have to scold the other party.
Du Xinghe was taught: "I understand, but I really don't want this very immature combination to be exposed now, I have my side of consideration." In short, I hope to use your resources to make this song. β
Xiao Tianlang said generously: "No problem, just push a song, go back and ask your company's enterprise publicity department to issue a demand report, fax it to our company, and then I will ask my subordinates to quote you a reasonable price." β
Du Xinghe thanked: "Then I will thank you, Xiao ZhizuΓ²." I'll let my men do it later. β
Xiao Tianlang finally persuaded again: "But I still don't think it makes much sense for you to do this, don't you spend money in vain to push a song like this?" What are you asking for? β
Xiao Tianlang couldn't understand Du Xinghe's original intention, although he understood that Du Xinghe was pushing a song out now, he wanted to test the market and make a positioning for the combination they pushed in the future, but according to what Du Xinghe said now, this group is completely immature, and it will only be launched on the market for at least a year. In business, record companies are not wronged, and it is impossible to spend money in vain without pursuing economic returns.
Du Xinghe didn't explain, and said: "For long-term development, sometimes it is necessary to spend some money in vain. Thank you in advance. β
Xiao Tianlang frowned and smiled: "This little thing is not worth thanking. It can't have any impact on our Su Shenghua's new album, so let's help you stir up that song first, and then we should warm up for this year's graduation season in advance. β
Du Xinghe smiled: "I think so too, hehe, come, Xiao ZhizuΓ², I will respect you again." β
Xiao Tianlang hurriedly stopped: "It's in place, let's not drink, it's only noon, I think we both have a lot to do in the afternoon." I drank too much at noon, and I was done in the afternoon. β
Du Xinghedao: "Yes, then let's hurry up and eat." Du Xinghe was in a very good mood, in fact, he hadn't slept for a long time since he tossed around yesterday, but because he slept too much before, he wasn't sleepy at all. He was a little skeptical that his biological clock would always be disrupted by such strange routines. In the end, it becomes three days of awakening and one day of sleep, and three days of awakening and one day of sleep, and that is ruined.
After having dinner with Xiao Tianlang at noon that day. Du Xinghe originally wanted to go back to the company to deal with some things. As a result, Lin Jianguo woke up over there and called him to pick it up. After receiving Lin Jianguo, the two went straight to Fang Yajun's villa, and Lin Jianguo and Cheng Jiaren made an appointment to discuss the profit sharing of Du Xinghe's new book.
Du Xinghe as a party. I don't care about such trivial things. Not like those original authors. Every word is endowed with their hard work and sweat, and the works are like their children, and they are very competitive in terms of sharing the profits of the works. Du Xinghe is all hand-copied works. He doesn't care much about more money and less money, he cares more about the promotion of his works. After all, what he copied was the crystallization of the wisdom of another plane, and since he copied it, he liked to let the wider readers of this plane see it, so that they could all enjoy it on a spiritual level. So if it's just that it's good for the promotion of new books, he will do his best to make it happen.
After chatting with Lin Jianguo and Cheng Jiaren about some ideas for the promotion of the new book, Du Xinghe said goodbye to the two of them and went to the recording studio to find Fang Yajun to record a song.
The day of the release of Fang Yajun's new album is getting closer and closer, and Fang Yajun's recording work is also being carried out in an orderly manner. Recently, she has pushed down a lot of announcements and is concentrating on polishing her new album.
In the afternoon of this day, while Du Xinghe was there, Fang Yajun tried to record "Time to Cook Rain" that he had asked Du Xinghe twice before. After getting the true biography of Du Xinghe, the original author, Fang Yajun's grasp of this song was strictly in place, which was very good, and the second time he recorded a version that satisfied Du Xinghe. It can be directly retracted into the master tape. She finally got another song.
Continue.
After finishing "Time to Cook the Rain", Fang Yajun decided to challenge the 7th song of the A disc - which is also the most difficult song to sing purely on this album -
"Torment"!
When Fang Yajun saw the score written by Du Xinghe, he hummed along the score, and felt a dripping feeling, although the name of this song is "Torment", it is also written about a state of torment in love, but it has developed to a chorus high. After the tide part, that heart-rending cry is super enjoyable!
Although Fang Yajun has not experienced the tormented love in this song, in fact, many feelings are common, she was refrigerated by BV and hibernate for seven years, these seven years are completely a tormented state for her, singing this song, bringing in her seven-year past, and venting all her love for music, it feels more enjoyable than venting after love!
However, it is enjoyable, and it is indeed very difficult to sing this song well.
The theme of the song is to try to describe the process of being reborn because of the deep love and the pain that cannot extricate itself, although it once lost the meaning of life. The melody enters the stage with the lowest vocal range of girls, and the chorus soars to the highest vocal range of girls, hovering between the lowest and the highest, spanning the 16-degree true vocal range, which is so difficult that singers like Fang Yajun who have sung thousands of songs are amazed! Such a melody is like a girl who is in love being dumped and hurt, falling from heaven to hell, intoxicated and tormented struggles, which is particularly relevant to the theme.
Fang Yajun likes this song very much and wants to control this song very much.
Du Xinghe heard that Fang Yajun was going to record "Torment", and asked her: "You didn't eat hot sauce or anything like that at noon, right?" Is your throat okay? Just finished recording "Time to Cook Rain" and recorded this? β
Fang Yajun said confidently: "Don't worry, although I couldn't help but taste a little bit of hot sauce at noon, I think my throat is open now, and I am in good condition, and it is very likely to be recorded again now." β
Du Xinghe smiled: "Over again? Don't be too confident, every time you say this, the end result is poor. β
Fang Yajun said helplessly: "Don't keep pouring cold water on me, okay." I'll prove it to you, and you'll help me in the barn. β
With full confidence, Fang Yajun entered the inner room from the outside of the recording room, put on the monitoring headphones, closed his eyes and adjusted the emotions for nearly a minute, and then opened his eyes. Through the glass wall, he gave Du Xinghe a thumbs up, signaling that she could start recording, and let Du Xinghe play the accompaniment.
Du Xinghe also gave Fang Yajun a thumbs up to encourage him, and then pushed up the background sound that had been recorded a long time ago, and started the recording track at the same time.
The heavy intro drum beat opens the curtain on the song as if simulating the depressed state of mind of a woman in love.
The arrangement of the symphonic version brings out the song's already highlights.
Fang Yajun has tried to sing it a few times, and she is very familiar with the melody.
Integrating the mood into the artistic conception of the melody, she sang in her calm tone.
β¦β¦
I knew that ~ you were just a bird ~ After hugging ~ only ~ feathers are left in his hands ~
Why did you waste it in the first place~
So much coffee and roses ~ to bother ~
β¦β¦
I want to ~think quietly~
On the scales ~ let love and hate no longer ~ shake ~
When you think about it, you can't balance it~
I still can't turn off the lights ~ this storm ~
β¦β¦
The first two sections are all about the girl's depressed state of mind. There is no difficulty in singing. But to express feelings in plain narration is a very skillful thing.
For a singer of Fang Yajun's level, there is no difficulty in these two small sections. Her voice was steady like a finished version of the work, and Du Xinghe couldn't help but be a little fascinated when she listened to it. At the same time, he was also carefully discerning Fang Yajun's pitch. No problem. The musicality of this diva is excellent, the sound comes out at will, and every exhalation and reception is perfect. You don't need any pronunciation to take it out and use it. Du Xinghe listened to it with great enjoyment. It's a blessing to record a singer like that. Especially in the morning, he recorded the music for the Yama King group, and in comparison with the two, Fang Yajun gave the three girls a complete body, this is the real singer!
However, just when Du Xinghe enjoyed it the most, he wanted to listen to Fang Yajun continue to perform the song Gao. During the tide music section, Fang Yajun suddenly made a pause gesture to Du Xinghe.
Du Xinghe didn't know why he pinched the music, and asked Fang Yajun through the microphone: "What's wrong?" β
Fang Yajun blew his nose uncomfortably and said, "I inhaled a small flying insect in my nose. β
Very depressed, Fang Yajun took off the headphones, walked out of the recording room, and said to Du Xinghe: "Wait a minute, I'll wash it, it's so awkward." β
Du Xinghe was helpless, how could there be a small flying insect in the recording studio, this is a very rare situation. Given that Fang Yajun's recording studio is a private recording studio, and it is built below sea level, it can be regarded as the basement of her villa, but it is possible that flying insects will come in.
When Fang Yajun went to wash his nose, Du Xinghe entered the recording studio, turned on all the lights, and carefully checked it, hoping that this situation would not happen again. This kind of external situation can easily affect the singer's feelings, sometimes the singer recording, when he just finds the state, is interrupted by an external event, and it will become very awkward to find the state again, and he may not be able to find it no matter how he finds it.
Fang Yajun quickly finished washing her nose, came back with a towel to wipe her nose, and complained to Du Xinghe: "My recording studio has been around for many years, and it seems that I have to do a disinfection, but all the flying insects have entered." β
Du Xinghe smiled and asked, "Are you okay?" It doesn't affect the vocal cords, does it? β
Fang Yajun blew her nose again, tried the sound, it was normal, and said, "It should be fine, just go into the nose, it's been washed out, my throat is not affected." Go ahead. β
Du Xinghe saw that Fang Yajun had a very positive attitude, so he didn't waste time, sat back on the mixer, and played music for Fang Yajun again. In fact, the first two segments recorded by Fang Yajun just now are already perfect, and they can be left as master tracks. But a dignified singer like Fang Yajun disdains to use multiple edited versions of the audio track, she records the version in one go, and she wants this style.
Du Xinghe is very aware of Fang Yajun's pride in singing, so he won't mention cutting the track at all, re-playing the music, and re-recording.
The second pass began.
β¦β¦
I knew that ~ you were just a bird ~ After hugging ~ only ~ feathers are left in his hands ~
Why did you waste it in the first place~
So much coffee and roses ~ to bother ~
β¦β¦
I want to ~think quietly~
On the scales ~ let love and hate no longer ~ shake ~
When you think about it, you can't balance it~
I still can't turn off the lights ~ this storm ~
β¦β¦
Fang Yajun's condition is still excellent, and even this time she sang better than the relationship just now! Du Xinghe had to give the super diva a thumbs up in his heart.
As the melody unfolded, Fang Yajun's singing voice also opened. A sudden rise of an octave. Started a climax song!
β¦β¦
As soon as the heart beats~love begins to suffer~
Every minute ~ every second ~
The fire is burning ~ how good it is to burn to ashes ~
It's called missing~Don't be noisy~
I believe I'm almost ~
I'm going to forget about you~
Reconcile with loneliness ~ again ~
β¦β¦
Fang Yajun this section is high. The tide sang and frowned at Du Xinghe. This climax wants to show the super octave of the female voice, Fang Yajun's pitch is no problem, the amount of energy is also booming, the emotional grasp is also very good, and there is a kind of venting fast. The feeling is inside.
However, Fang Yajun habitually brought out her signature voice!
At the end of each phrase, where the sound should be stopped, Fang Yajun left an obvious sense of breath, and then turned around this breath. Then connect to the next phrase.
This articulation technique is ingenious. The average person can't play at all on the super high octave, and at first glance it will make people feel very coherent, very coherent, and very comfortable.
But Du Xinghe felt that it was so treated. It's a bit inappropriate. Because this kind of one-stop work is a bit too "lingering". The song is high. Tide. To have a sense of rupture, every sentence should be sonorous and powerful, as the lyrics say. It feels like a fire is burning to ashes!
Du Xinghe stopped the music directly in the middle of the segment, in fact, it is quite disrespectful to the singer, especially for a singer of Fang Yajun's level, ordinary recording engineers dare not play their music, because as long as they keep singing, there must be a reason to continue.
Du Xinghe has long been used to pulling other people's music, and he has also pulled Fang Yajun's recordings dozens of times, Fang Yajun is used to it, at first she was quite uncomfortable, and even quarreled with Du Xinghe for this, but no matter how noisy it is, Du Xinghe should pull or pull, and Fang Yajun has no temper when he makes trouble, so Fang Yajun simply stops arguing.
Now that the emotions are brewing in a wonderful state, and suddenly Du Xinghe pulled the music, Fang Yajun immediately squeezed out a look of disgust between his eyebrows, and asked Du Xinghe directly: "What are you doing!" Why did you pull it for me? β
Du Xinghe said: "I don't think you handled the treble well, it's too lingering." β
Fang Yajun asked, "You mean, I used too much qi?" β
Du Xinghe nodded: "Yes, this paragraph should not be angry, it should show a sense of rupture, understand?" β
Fang Yajun excitedly put forward a different opinion: "This paragraph should be lingering, this section has not yet expressed the heroine's broken love, it has to be brewed again, and then it will be sung in the broken way when the climax is repeated!" Please, don't be in such a hurry to pull my music, listen to it later, okay! β
Du Xinghe frowned and asked, "Are you singing with a little anger on purpose?" β
Fang Yajun said angrily: "Of course! I did it on purpose! I want to make a contrast with the climax of the next paragraph, the woman you wrote about in this song has been suffering for a long time, it is impossible to break with the past so quickly, she has to repeat it again, and suffer it again before she can really break up! β
Du Xinghe thought for a while and said, "You can't handle it like this, it's too complicated." This professional may sound somewhat understandable, but the average listener will certainly have a handicap to listen to it for the first time. If you deal with it so softly, it will set a softer tone for the whole song, even if you explode more intensely and break up later, you can't change this tone. You know, many people listen to the song is the first ear to be the most impressed, if you want to deal with the feelings and feelings a little more struggled for the first time, then you can slightly retract the amount of air, don't exhale, this song can't be on the breath, as soon as it floats, it's too soft. β
Fang Yajun said stubbornly: "I think it's perfect to use a little bit of air to make a connection!" β
Du Xinghe hummed: "What is perfect, not all songs have to have a breath voice, the air voice will make people have a kind of reverie, and this song is high. Tide, you must not give the listener any space for reverie, you must use a strong outburst to lead the listener's emotions away, you can't let them imagine for themselves, you have to give them the kind of pain after venting fast. Feel! β
Fang Yajun frowned and said, "What you said seems to have some truth. β
Du Xinghe said angrily: "What does it mean to make sense!" I wrote this song, and I certainly know what kind of attitude it takes to sing it! β
Fang Yajun was suddenly amused by Du Xinghe's angry appearance, squeezed his eyes at Du Xinghe, and asked, "By the way, you are young, how do you feel so experienced?" (To be continued......)
