Imperial Capital, North Fifth Ring Road, Caochangdi Art Village

In the Shining Star Recording Studio, a new conspicuous sign has been added to the wall of the sound-absorbing material of the recording control room of Studio 1:

"The music can't stand the interruption, and the melody bursts out in silence - the shining star Deng Wenbin Xuan."

And the real situation in the No. 1 shed, anyone who looks at it will comment on it, this slogan can be described as quite ironic, it is outrageous.

However, Deng Wenbin drove everyone else out of the No. 1 shed early, and he also gave a death order in the Weiyan group: "It is forbidden to watch and disturb Teacher Yan Qing." ”

In the empty recording control room, Deng Wenbin, the manager of Shining Star, leaned in front of the recording console and chattered in Yan Qing's ear.

The topics on his lips revolved around the two digital singles that were launched on the whispering music platform at the same time as the first issue of "Talent Co., Ltd." last Saturday.

The hot sales data, Weng Huai's perfect recording studio expressiveness, reproduces the miracle of a single broken diamond...

Deng Wenbin opened his mouth from various angles, with a look of honor, after all, these two songs were recorded in Shining Star, and he also participated in the whole process of the prison work.

Yan Qing was not accompanied by Deng Wenbin, he concentrated his energy skillfully with his hands and feet, and used the Midi keyboard and Midi pedal to record one violin string and percussion accompaniment track after another in the music workstation.

The two songs "Red Rose" and "White Rose" use the same version of the arrangement, Yan Qing's thinking is very clear, with the piano sound as the first lead, the violin string interlude, supplemented by the drum kit as the harmonic accompaniment, there is no vocal harmony in the whole song, and the workload is not too big overall.

Yan Qing's personal understanding of this arrangement is this, the main part of this song is the inner monologue of a sad and lonely middle-aged man, excessive use of harmony is easy to be suspected of dominating the audience, and not using harmony at all will make the whole song seem too empty.

Therefore, a tactful, looming, lingering violin sound is very important, and its addition can not only enrich the relatively single piano lead, but also express the man's infatuation and reluctance to the "rose" woman.

In percussion harmony, Yan Qing unconventionally uses a lot of syncopations and triplets. Changing the law that there must be an accent on the downbeat in the usual arrangement cognitive habits, so that the tone of the weak beat or the weak part of the downbeat becomes an accent due to the prolongation of the time, creating an illusion that seems to be a wrong beat, to set off the entanglement and contradiction in the man's heart.

Yan Qing secretly felt comfortable: "What I am looking for is the mood that oscillates between hell and heaven, between devils and angels when 'Red Rose' is used to score the film."

The data that Deng Wenbin couldn't help admiring in his ears actually said it in the car that came in the morning.

The quality of the songs was originally excellent, coupled with the promotion of the "new concept paid on-demand" variety show "Talent Co., Ltd.", which had as many as 24 million on-demand views, the single-day sales of "Light Chaser" exceeded 10 million within 24 hours of its launch on the whispering music platform: 15.39 million songs, and "Lisao" also performed well with 8.21 million songs.

Weng Huaijing, who has never released a single in the Chinese music scene, easily came out on top with this song "Light Chaser", and won the weekly top single on the Chinese music scene's supreme golden song chart in the last week of August in one fell swoop.

is similar to Yan Qing's song "Talent Co., Ltd.", there is no difficulty, and a single order has achieved diamond record certification.

Yan Qing listened to Deng Wenbin and continued to sigh that the song "Lisao" deserves better sales, and at the same time turned sideways with a smile to play the Pearl River CVP electric piano next to the music workstation, and directly transmitted the sub-track sound of the piano lead part into the workstation.

Yan Qing even replied with a lot of spare energy: "This is normal, the audience of a theme like rap is narrower than that of popular people." ”

Seeing Deng Wenbin nodding silently in response, Yan Qing pursed his lips and thought about it before opening his mouth tentatively:

"If it weren't for the meme... I probably won't choose rap for my first installment, I just don't know how it works..."

Deng Wenbin glanced at Yan Qing deeply, and he turned to other topics rather stiffly: "Teacher Yan, let's talk... Well, Sparkling Star is involved in the design and supervision of your studio's recording studio. ”

Yan Qing lowered his head and touched the sunglasses that Miao Miao had forced into him in the morning, and muttered in his heart: "I know Xiao Meow, she is reporting good news and not bad news, disturb, it's okay."

…

As soon as she arrived at Shining Star today, Miao Miao first chatted with Deng Wenbin about the business of designing and supervising the recording studio.

Shining Star has had many successful cases of outsourcing private recording studio design and supervision, and naturally will not refuse this kind of large order sent to the door.

Miao Miao was in the conference room next door at this time, and Ren Yanzhu, the key account manager on Deng Wenbin's side, was finalizing some contract details one by one according to the overall budget of 15 million yuan and the framework of the two-month construction period.

Yan Qing can hand over the work to Shanxing because he is sure that Deng Wenbin is indeed well aware of all kinds of cutting-edge recording hardware and technology, Miao Miao has also checked it, there is relevant information on the Internet, and he can find several successful cases of private recording studios that are quite well-known in the circle, and are designed and supervised by Shanxing.

Deng Wenbin also knew very well that Yan Qing was clear about recording and mixing, he didn't pat his chest or anything like that, he only mentioned a mouthful to reassure Yan Qing that he would participate in the whole process of this project to ensure that the recording studio would be delivered on schedule with high quality and quantity within the budget cycle.

As he spoke, he pointed to the recording studio at the end of the sealed glass window of the No. 1 recording control room, and motioned Yan Qing, who had finished the accompaniment, to hurry into the studio.

Yan Qing also estimated that the preparations were in place, he took a sip of warm boiled water to moisten his throat, plugged the singer's monitors, and walked into the recording studio in a dashing manner.

Under Deng Wenbin's prison shed, Yan Qing Shi Ran started recording the dry vocals of "Red Rose" and "White Rose".

Towards noon, the last two items on the agenda were decided in the next conference room:

Before the end of work this Friday, Shining Star will submit the official version of the overall design renderings to Yanqing Studio, as well as a third-party evaluation report of the overall acoustic design plan of the recording studio.

This report will be entrusted to the Institute of Acoustics of the Huaguo Academy of Sciences appointed by Yan Qing Studio to conduct a professional evaluation.

Miao Miao and Ren Yanzhu finally finished the contract formalities, only to find that Yan Qing was already waiting for her in the lounge, and he was still playing with the USB flash drive that stored the digital master audio source of the two songs.

At noon, Deng Wenbin arranged this meal, and chased him from the building to the Caochangdi Art Village Square, with a self-deprecation in his tone.

"If Mr. Yan doesn't give face this time, many employees of Shining Star will be telling my jokes now."

Miao Miao, who didn't know what was going on, said, "What kind of joke are you making?" ”

Deng Wenbin's tone was a little strange: "Teacher Yan Qing's songs are all recorded in our studio, good guy, the recording level of each of his songs is maintained at a very high level, and our shining star has made indelible outstanding contributions in the recording process of Teacher Yan Qing." ”

At this moment, Miao Miao was like Shao Qing possessed, full of emotional intelligence: "That's not it, after all, Shining Star is the best independent recording studio in our imperial capital." ”

After Deng Wenbin shook his head at Miao Miao and Yan Qing in sunglasses, he continued to learn the tone of yin and yang:

"That's what the bunny cubs said, the outstanding contribution of Shining Star is that the manager personally supervises the shed, and our Mr. Deng is very hard, he has to be busy with the OK gesture while holding the recording controller all the way down to press 3."

Deng Wenbin pretended to be sad, and finally complained: "You don't let me be invited every time you eat, so it will be difficult for me to carry out my work in the future." ”

"Thank you, I was laughed at."

Yan Qing touched the neatly trimmed stubble at the corner of his mouth, and smiled awkwardly and politely, he was successfully amused by Deng Wenbin's professional stalk.

"Bear with me, after finishing the post-production today, I will confirm that I can scrape it off without reshooting."
