Chapter 506: Du Xinghe's First Song

After Du Xinghe and Xu Nuo made love, he fell asleep with Xu Nuo, he left the living room, sorted out his clothes, and then went out of the office, telling Jin Mengyi Xu Nuo to work in his office and not let people go in and disturb him. After being advised, he went to the No. 1 recording studio on the same floor.

Studio 1 on the fifth floor is larger than Studio 2 on the fourth floor, and is a more suitable studio for live band recordings.

When Du Xinghe arrived, the recording studio was in full swing arranging and recording.

The band that recorded was the Old Boys Band of Red Rock.

The recording engineer is Wei Yimin, the chief recording engineer who went into battle in person, and his niece and assistant apprentice - tomboy He Miao.

If it was a general arrangement and recording, Wei Yimin would just ask He Miao to do it, he would drink tea and rest on the side, and only after it was done, he would come over to accept it.

But the arrangement to be recorded this time is not ordinary, because this is likely to be the first song that their little boss Du Xinghe will release!

After the meeting that afternoon, Du Xinghe finished the lyrics and arrangements of a song and handed it over to the recording engineer Wei Yimin, and invited the musicians of the Hongyan Old Boys Band who came to participate in the performance to help record the arrangement of this song, which must be recorded today.

This song is the first choice of the single CD that Du Xinghe verbally promised He Hulan at the luncheon that would be accompanied by the book.

Du Xinghe is a person who does what he thinks.

At lunchtime, he felt that He Hulan's mention was quite good and he should try it, so he chatted and wondered which song to record.

You know, this is the first song he released after coming to this plane. It is a song of monumental significance, and he must be careful about the choice of this song.

And there is also a very important background, that is, this song is included with the book, in its sense, it can't be a song that is too heavy, if it is too classic, it will steal the limelight of "Xun Qin" as soon as it appears, and it will be noisy.

For this reason, he filtered out a large number of classic hits in his mind.

Later, Liao Nan sang a song "Life Like a Summer Flower". Hearing this, Du Xinghe was very moved. Touching the scene, a song flashed in his mind - "Ordinary Road", and he felt that this song seemed to be very suitable for the first song he released in this plane.

This is also a song by Pu Shu.

A song full of humanity. A song full of flavor of Wenqing.

Unobtrusive. But touching.

This is also the last song Du Xinghe heard in the last plane.

He "came over" in a car accident.

At that time, he had a single looping in his car. It is the DEMO version of this song "Ordinary Road".

At that time, the song "Ordinary Road" had not yet been released to the public with Han Han's movie "The Future", and Du Xinghe got the first trial version from friends in the circle to audition.

At first, he thought the melody of the song was quite flat. The first time I listened to it, it was not as touching as I expected. After all, Pu Shu was one of his favorite musicians in the previous plane. The music produced by Pu Shu, he has always focused on appreciating and learning.

Besides, Pu Shu hasn't released a new song for ten years, and finally released a new song, just such an ordinary "Ordinary Road", which made Du Xinghe feel a little dissatisfied.

The first time I heard it, the first feeling this song gave Du Xinghe was depression.

Music can be said to be the most abstract art, but also the most direct and rapid action on the emotion, people's first sense of hearing, the impact on the whole song is very huge.

This song has quite a depressing feeling in it, which is Du Xinghe's first listening experience.

This song is not only a word that has ruined oneself, once unable to extricate oneself, once fallen into darkness, etc., the two main songs are like an elder who has experienced the world asking about your confusion lovingly, like a dialogue between a singer and a listener, he understands your pain and confusion, understands your hesitation in the face of life path choices, and understands your anxiety in the face of the future. The reason why this is so is because he was once as confused as you, and the so-called those who know me ask me what I want, and those who do not know me ask me what I want.

Starting from the phrase "I was", the love of the song begins to transform into a kind of determination, he sues you, he has also ruined a qiΔ“, he has also fallen into darkness, he once wanted to leave this world forever, he has also shouted like every lost person to ask the heavens why this qiΔ“ is like this. But I still don't understand what life is, because fate never answers these things.

Later, after listening to it a few more times, Du Xinghe slowly read a lot of deeply moved emotions from this song, and this song became more and more flavorful for him, which gave him the urge to cycle singles.

After the original dull music was re-perceived, it gradually became more flexible, and at the end of the first part of the special song, the melody began to taste a bit of gypsy music.

The biggest characteristic of gypsy music is improvisation, and the previous repression xΓΉ also dissipates here instantly, as if a confused and confused child seems to understand the pursuit and confusion after hearing the elder tell his past, but it is another day in his life, his heart suddenly opens up, childish cheers jump, naughty bouncing on the road to continue to move forward.

Then the rap of the song started, as if the old man looked at the back of the child and said to him: Go forward, go boldly! No matter what happens!

This rap with Pu Shu's unique pronunciation reminded Du Xinghe of a line from the classic movie "Paradise Cinema" that he had seen before.

In that movie, on the beach, the little male protagonist Duoduo asked his grandfather who showed the movie about life, and his grandfather said: "Go forward, go to Rome, don't stay here anymore, stay here for a long time, you will think this is the center of the world, go forward, don't look back, don't write letters, wait a few years, you come back, I don't want to listen to you anymore, I want to listen to others talk about you." I'm not talking about movie lines, oh, life is different from movies, life is much harder......"

After appreciating it, Du Xinghe felt that the rap section could be said to be the most essential part of the song, which made the whole song three-dimensional immediately, and made the final chorus change from depression to no matter what happened in life. will go on firmly.

The song ends with "Where is your story?", and it is another film by Tonatore, the director of "Cinema Paradiso", "The Pianist of the Sea", which also has a classic line: "As long as you still have a story to tell and someone is still listening, your life is not over." ”

In Du Xinghe's view at that time, this song "Ordinary Road" is actually about a sentence: even if you are an insignificant weed, only if there is still sunlight shining into the valley, you will feel happy, even if you are a puddle of mud and step on you too much. Thou art the way......

Those days. Du Xinghe is at the lowest point in his life, and this song gives him strong inner strength.

Later, after crossing over, I occasionally remembered the last song I had heard in the previous plane. Written according to the lyrics. Think about your past again. Now, and in the future, he felt as if he was in the dark. This qiΔ“ has long been doomed, God is using such a song to see off him in the past, and he is also pointing out the way for the new him.

Ten years ago, that person said that life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and ten years later, he said that ordinary is the only answer.

Nowadays, every time he hears this song again, Du Xinghe will have a new understanding in his heart. Even if he is now embarking on an infinitely bright star path, after experiencing such a magical event, and then allowing him to shape any kind of brilliant life, he will still have a feeling that after the dust settles, his life will return to the ordinary.

Because ordinary is the happiest.

This song was released at this time in this plane, and many people may not realize the true meaning of this song, but after a few decades, when he becomes famous, people will be moved to tears when they turn it out and listen to it again.

As a traversal reborn, Du Xinghe's vision should be as far away as possible.

He doesn't have to care what people say about the connotation of this song now, wait until a few decades later, let people redefine it, because this kind of music will never go out of style, and this is not comparable to those Internet divine comedies with vulgar tunes, no artistic value at all, and even pop value.

There is another point, the "ordinary" of this song will definitely not steal the limelight of "Xun Qin", and it will not dominate.

Now released, the song is nothing more than a gimmick that comes with the book.

But decades later, or even more than a decade later, the song may set off a retro trend.

The more Du Xinghe pondered, the more he felt that this song he had heard last in the previous plane was the first song that God had destined to let him come to this new plane, so he attached great importance to the recording of this song.

Their company hasn't hired a full-time band to record and arrange the songs, and they all come to find familiar bands to come and pay to record songs.

Today, while the Old Boys Band happened to be there, he hurriedly asked this band with excellent live skills to help with the recording.

When Du Xinghe arrived at Studio 1, the Old Boys band's recording was nearing completion.

Wei Yimin was personally pressing the formation, asking Wu Xi, the keyboardist of the Old Boys, to record a new track of that gypsy improvised melody.

In fact, Wu Xi has done a very good job in the previous two recordings, perfectly presenting the feeling that Du Xinghe composed in the score, but Wei Yimin just feels that the taste is not enough, this kind of requirement seems a bit nitpicky, but this is the most powerful place for a top recording engineer, they have a super sense of musicality, and they can feel that the melody is not so in line with the artistic conception of the song.

Knowing the importance of this song, before the recording, Wei Yimin savored Du Xinghe's "Ordinary Road" alone for nearly an hour, he already had his own understanding of this song in it, this song moved him, he felt that he should show a better side, which requires the impromptu melody in the middle to be more flexible, and Wu Xi's own play must be used, and Du Xinghe's arrangement cannot be mechanically copied.

After debugging it several times, finally this time, Wu Xi recorded the feeling that Wei Yimin wanted.

Wei Yimin gave a thumbs up to Wu Xi in the soundproof glass recording room and said, "Hard work, brother!" This one is perfect! ”

Wu Xi also smiled bitterly and gave Wei Yimin a thumbs up, he rarely encountered this kind of "excellence" recording engineer, although Wei Yimin repeatedly recorded the same melody more than 20 times, it was a little annoying. But Wu Xi also knows in his heart that this is the responsibility of the top recording engineer and his attitude towards this profession. How could he not return the thumbs up?

At this moment, Du Xinghe knocked on the door and walked in from outside.

The other musicians of the Old Boy Band were resting outside the recording studio, and when they saw Du Xinghe coming, the leader of the band, An Hao, a drummer with curly hair in a shawl, got up to greet Du Xinghe.

Du Xinghe sincerely thanked the group of old boys for their help, and then asked Wei Yimin about the progress of the recording.

"It's been recorded, but it's not done yet. Give me ten minutes, I'll calibrate it, do the post-compositing, and hear how it feels. ”

It's like fighting a good battle. Wei Yimin took He Miao to start the post-production work excitedly.

The Old Boys didn't go. Because if they find that they are not satisfied with the post-compositing, they have to record it again.

In fact, the Old Boys Band is looking forward to working with Du Xinghe on the spot, if Du Xinghe records a song, they improvise on the spot with Du Xinghe. That feels the best.

Du Xinghe also thought about recording a live version of "Ordinary Road" at first. But then I thought about it. Because this song is not a live type of song. It's an "ordinary" song, with an improvised play with the accompaniment of the band, and it doesn't necessarily have to be quiet. It is more effective for a person to listen to music recordings in a recording room. So he didn't choose to record the Live version, in fact, with his strength, he is fully capable of recording the Live version.

Soon, Wei Yimin did a good job of arranging and accompaniment of this song, and showed it to Du Xinghe, who put on the monitoring headphones imported from Germany, closed his eyes and sang in his mind while listening to the accompaniment, which was flawless and better than he imagined! He expressed his heartfelt thanks and praise to the musicians and recording engineers.

Now that the arrangements have been recorded, Du Xinghe will not drag it out, and will record the main song immediately. He is now in the mood to sing, and he can record this song in one go.

"Lao Wei, don't leave yet, I'll go back to the office for a drink, and you will help me record when I come back!" Du Xinghe continued the habit of the previous plane, and he must drink a sip of liquor to open his voice before recording. He is familiar with the stimulation of the throat by alcohol, in this plane, his vocal cords are not fully developed, and drinking strong wine and singing will cause some damage to the vocal cords, but now that he is officially recording, Du Xinghe can't manage it so much. Because his slightly immature voice, after being slightly stimulated by alcohol, can he reach the most perfect state, a state that explodes after being suppressed, which is just right for the situation of this song.

Wei Yimin and others had never seen Du Xinghe drink, and even at the dinner party, Du Xinghe rarely drank. However, senior industry insiders like them all know that some singers use wine to open their voices, but they didn't expect Du Xinghe to be this kind of singer, which made everyone interested, but they wanted to see what Du Xinghe was like when he actually recorded.

The Old Boys band all stayed, waiting to see Du Xinghe's recording.

Du Xinghe hurried back to the office to get the wine.

In the previous plane, when he drank baijiu to open his throat, the degree of the wine must be high, it must be stimulating enough, and he doesn't need to drink too much, just two or three sips to rush out the strength of the wine.

He most often drinks some high-altitude original liquor, such as 71 degrees Langya Tai Xiaolanggao, 75 degrees Luzhou Laojiao original liquor, 73 degrees Hengshui Laobai dry original liquor, etc.

This kind of wine is rarely seen in the market, and he always came from his friend's A.

In this plane, when he was shopping, he saw a local high-count liquor called Fujiao in the window of a liquor store, which is a local specialty sorghum liquor, which is a strong aroma type.

The so-called strong aroma liquor has a rich taste, a plump taste, and a sweet and clean entrance. For example, the Sichuan school represented by Luzhou Tequ, Wuliangye, Jiannanchun, Quanxing Daqu and Tuopai Qujiu in the previous plane, and the pure and strong liquor represented by Yanghe, Shuanggou, Gujing and Songhe grain and liquid, are all strong aromatic liquors.

The other sauce-flavored liquor has a slightly yellow and transparent color, and the sauce-flavored, burnt-flavored, and paste-flavored liquor are harmonious, with a delicate and elegant taste, and a long-lasting fragrance in the empty cup. The Moutai liquor, Langjiu and Wuling liquor of the upper plane are representatives.

There is also a kind of fragrant liquor, the color is clear and transparent, the taste is particularly clean, the fragrance is pure, and the aftertaste is very sweet. The Fenjiu, Yellow Crane Tower and Baofeng Liquor of the above planes are representatives.

And Du Xinghe's preference is the strong aroma type of liquor, because this kind of wine is strong enough and exciting enough!

This locally produced Fujiao, the public version has a 72-degree original liquor, the price is expensive, a small bottle is only 75 ml, four small bottles are a box, and a box costs 1500!

At that time, Du Xinghe was curious, and he was also preparing for the recording of the song in advance, so he bought two boxes and kept them first.

He tried to take a few sips. This wine feels good, very similar to the original wine of Luzhou Laojiao, which is not yet full, and the stimulation of the throat is just right, which is just right for him to open his voice and sing.

After Cloud World moved, he moved Fujiao to the new company and put it in the living room for drinking when he opened his throat.

At this time, Du Xinghe walked back to the office quickly, went to the living room, and took a small bottle of Fujiao. Didn't drink it right away.

Xu Nuo on the bed slept soundly. Du Xinghe felt that the air conditioner in the house was turned on a little low, so he turned up the temperature of the air conditioner a little, and then thoughtfully helped Xu Nuo cover the quilt before leaving the office.

He was walking to the recording studio with his wine. Du Xinghe saw Fang Yajun, dressed in a casual gray long T dress, walking towards him.

After luncheon. Fang Yajun also accepted some media interviews in the afternoon.

After that, Du Xinghe thought that he would leave after this day. I didn't expect her to be still in the company. And it seems that she has also finished her work and changed into casual clothes.

"You're a man of action!"

Fang Yajun took off her brown color-changing sunglasses as soon as she covered her face. said to Du Xinghe.

"What's wrong with me?"

Du Xinghe was a little unclear by Fang Yajun.

Fang Yajun said with a smile: "You just said to Mr. He at noon about the CD that came with the book, and the eight characters are still skimmed, so you are ready to record the song!" ”

Du Xinghe smiled in surprise and asked, "How do you know that I am going to record a song?" ”

"I was walking by the studio and I heard them talking." Fang Yajun laughed and teased Du Xinghe: "You really can't wait to release the film!" ”

"I can't wait, I think it's time to get here, and I'm done. It's busy after saving, and it's not good to find time to do it. Du Xinghe said with a smile.

"Which song are you going to post? Have I heard of it? Fang Yajun asked curiously.

"No, I wrote this song when I was relatively low, I haven't sung it, and this is the first time it has been published. It's a song that means a lot to me. ”

"Oh, if you're going to say that, then I'll have to listen to you. I just saw that there are a lot of people in the studio, and they seem to be waiting to hear you sing, so adding me one more won't put too much pressure on you, right? ”

Fang Yajun's beautiful eyes showed a smart and sly smile, deliberately teasing Du Xinghe.

When singers record in the recording studio, they like to clear the scene, and they don't want too many people in the studio to watch, the environment of the recording studio is quiet like another world, and with so many people watching, it is difficult not to feel nervous.

These are not a thing for Du Xinghe, he has experienced such a big scene, as a person who has bypassed several laps on the ghost gate, in this ordinary world, how can he be pressured to be watched and sang?

Du Xinghe smiled and said to Fang Yajun: "I don't have any pressure, but the question is, there are only a few monitor headphones in the recording studio, is it enough for so many of you to listen?" ”

Fang Yajun smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, I see that Mr. Wei is distributing headphones in the recording studio, it seems that he has connected a lot of earphone forks, I see that there is a second level of people, although it is not a monitoring level, but you can also hear your recording effect in real time." You have to behave well, oh, don't be embarrassed. ”

Du Xinghe showed his trademark restrained smile, this kind of confidence has reached the point where he doesn't need to answer Fang Yajun with words. He took Fang Yajun back to Studio No. 1.

At this moment, the recording studio is indeed like Fang Yajun said, it has squeezed into more than 20 people, all of whom usually like to smoke lively, and it is Duan Xiaoxuan, the initiator of this recording studio explosion. Just now she saw Du Xinghe leave the recording studio in a hurry, so she came to the recording studio to inquire about He Miao's reason, and learned the amazing news that Du Xinghe was going to record a song. Then she couldn't hold back the mistake and made a mistake, so she excitedly ran to talk to a few good colleagues in the media and public relations department, and as a result, more than 20 staff members of the media and public relations department, including Zhao Yi, the manager of the public relations department, all came to the recording studio to listen to the recording studio singing.

Almost all of them had heard Du Xinghe practice singing from the piano room before, and Du Xinghe was also the kind of boss who didn't care about others listening to when he practiced singing, because in his opinion, beautiful music was for others to enjoy, so some people listened to him practice singing, and he was quite comfortable and enjoyable.

Such an attitude made these staff members bold to come to the recording studio.

If it weren't for Zhao Yi suppressing the trend of his subordinates spreading the news, it is estimated that the recording studio would be even more crowded now! (To be continued......)
