"Why have you been there for so long?" As the leader of the girls, Yuan Wenwen complained: "I've been waiting for almost an hour." ”

Lin Ming and the others naturally didn't dare to say that they were fighting, so they spread it to the yard, and everyone went home to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots. Zhang Shaoan lied and said without blinking: "Take me up, the hall is far away from the city center, you know, there happened to be a case where I was more addicted, so I asked them to wait for a while." ”

"Let's go up, the songs are ready, the recording equipment is also on-site, let's rehearse it on the spot, and everyone can sing happily." Lin Ming clapped his hands and pointed upstairs.

Everyone took the elevator upstairs, and the two front desk ladies hurriedly came over and said, "Mr. Lin." ”

"It's hard work, you guys get off work."

Lin Ming waved his hand, except for the staff who needed to work overtime, the people of Taomu Company generally got off work on time at 5 o'clock. The front desk lady waited until now because of Lin Ming's words, and it was quite hard.

It's not to pretend to be forced in front of his friends, but to deal with Li Mo in the afternoon. It's just that after the exam, he met An Ran on the way to the company, and the two spent some time in a café by the river. Didn't go to the company in advance, but he had already arranged this matter, and decided to go to the company at noon to record a song for everyone, after the incident of Enron, he forgot to call the company and asked them to get off work first, or rather, he thought that the company would not wait until now, so he simply did not call, but he did not expect that these staff had not been ordered to get off work and did not dare to get off work, so the front desk and some staff waited until now.

"Okay Mr. Lin, the recording studio is ready now, then I'll go first." The two front desk ladies left.

"It's okay, now it's all mixed up with Mr. Lin."

Yuan Wenwen's personality has always been the same as that of a boy, and when the front desk lady entered the elevator, she patted Lin Ming's shoulder and said, "If you can't get along in the future, I'll hug your thigh, you can't do without me." ”

"How can that?" Lin Ming said with a smile: "For the sake of arranging, our arrangers are busy, and I will remember to say to them later." ”

As a professional music company, Momoki Company naturally has its own arranger teacher. Liang Xiaoyue, as a music producer, except for the last time he helped Lin Ming arrange the music and the two albums in the new era, he still rarely does the arranging work in person for ordinary songs.

When I came to one of the largest recording studios of Taomu Company, everyone rushed in, and saw the chubby recording engineer surnamed Song lying on the sofa inside.

Song Recorder's name is Song Jian, nicknamed Song Fatzi, is Peachwood's chief recording engineer, and the tuning technology is not to be said, among the more than a dozen recording engineers in Peachwood, the songs that have been corrected and tuned by him can become natural even if they are ghosts crying wolves.

According to later generations, Song Fatzi is a tuner with an annual salary of hundreds of millions.

Of course, this is just a joke.

Although Song Fatzi's salary is high, he definitely can't talk about an annual salary of hundreds of millions. However, it also shows that Song Fatzi's skills are indeed good, Lin Ming was afraid that this group of people would sing out of tune and break the sound during the chorus, so he used his power to keep Song Fatzi to work overtime.

Like him, there is also an arranger teacher, who is the piano arranger of Lin Ming's new song, because Lin Ming only gave the tune, and the arrangement of this piece is still quite difficult, and the arranger took a week to complete.

"Mr. Lin."

When Song Fatzi saw Lin Ming come in, a carp stood up from the sofa flexibly.

The arranger also got up from his seat at the same time, and Lin Ming waved his hand and said, "Sit down first." How is the arrangement done, is there a ready-made version? ”

Today's technology is not like later generations, after making a finished product, it can be made into a file on a smartphone and clicked to send, and it can be directly downloaded, played, and listened to. Although the same thing can be done in this era, it is necessary to make computer files, and it is a pity that Lin Ming's family does not have a computer.

"No problem, it's all done according to Mr. Lin's requirements, can you listen to it on the spot?"

"Okay."

Lin Ming put on headphones on the mixer, and the arranger pressed the play switch, and soon, a beautiful piece of music was released.

It's a piano piece with a rather brisk tempo. But in fact, this is a sad song, and there is a more warm tune in the middle, which makes people feel sad and happy. The music is all about repeating a rhythm, which is very simple, but there is a magic to repeating those notes all the time.

After listening to the tune, Lin Ming nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, well done." ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Ming bowed to the arranger teacher and said, "Thank you Mr. Liu, when the song comes out, the arranger teacher will definitely write your name." ”

This is a tribute to the arranger teacher as a singer, which is an unspoken rule in the industry. It's the same as when Zhao Yue finished recording the song, he had to bow and salute Song Fatzi and Liang Xiaoyue. This kind of customs and culture is not particularly strict in China, and in a certain peninsular country, there is even a stricter hierarchy than this.

"You're welcome." Arranger Mr. Liu clasped his hands together, bent down and saluted back: "It's all inspired by Mr. Lin, if it's embarrassing, if you hadn't hummed the whole tune, I wouldn't have been able to make up such a good piano piece 100%." The work should be attributed to you. ”

"Then write the names of both of us." Lin Ming smiled: "It's time to delay you, you can get off work." ”

"Then I'll go first."

Teacher Liu turned around and went to the door, and when he passed by the friends behind Lin Ming, Liu He took the lead and said, "Thank you Teacher Liu." ”

So everyone opened their mouths, and if the unspoken rules of this industry can be followed, they will try to abide by them. In a crew, the actors have to bow and thank the on-site staff and director after filming, and when the show is recorded in the studio, the host will often say such things as hard work for the on-site staff at the end.

The entertainment industry can be a dirty and filthy place, but it also has a bright side. Because after a movie is made, it is the actors who are famous. After a song is recorded, no one will remember who recorded it, who wrote the song and who made it up, only who sang the song. Therefore, it is inevitable that actors and singers will maintain the tradition of bowing and thanking out of respect for the people working behind the scenes. With such a good working environment and fine traditions, the behind-the-scenes personnel can complete the work very comfortably. And actors and singers can also bring better works to the audience. Therefore, even Lin Ming is willing to abide by such industry rules.

Anyway, he was also an excellent cameraman in his last life, and actors often bowed to him and thanked him. Such a fine tradition cannot be discarded because of the improvement of one's status.

Mr. Liu politely folded his hands in return and saluted before leaving the studio.

Lin Ming found lyric paper in the recording studio and sent one to each person. While posting, he said: "The tune and lyrics of this song are still very simple, they are all repetitive tunes. One sentence per person, let's try to finish recording it today, and don't forget to thank our recording engineer when the meeting is over. ”

"Just call me Song Fatty." Song Fatzi said with a smile: "Mr. Lin's friend is my friend." There are not so many rules and politeness between friends, and I often come to the company to play in the future. ”

Liu He took the lyrics paper, and the name of the song was written on it: "It's not because you don't look good".

"What kind of song is this?"

"Isn't it because you're not good-looking? I'm afraid the name is poisonous. ”

"Wow, this lyric is sadistic."

Everyone read the lyrics and complained.

Lin Ming laughed and said: "This is the annual heart-piercing divine comedy I wrote, and in the future, we will sing one song every year in the heavenly troupe to ensure that the hearts of the majority of people will be broken." ”

"By the way, they all said that they wanted to form a choir, but they haven't come up with a name yet."

Zhang Shaoan proposed: "Why don't you choose a name first?" ”

"Good idea."

Everyone agreed, but Lin Ming said: "We didn't rehearse in advance this time, we watched the lyrics and learned the song on the spot, if the effect is not satisfied, it may take several days to record." After all, we are not professional singers, so let's think about the name again, rehearse the song first, and don't delay the time of Teacher Song. ”

"Then listen to Lin Ming."

Zhang Shaoan doesn't know much about the industry, Lin Ming has been engaged in the media industry in his last life, and he knows that the practitioners in it are actually quite hard. For a tuner like Song Fatzi, overtime is commonplace, so there is really no need to delay other people's time and make some messy things.

"Everyone take their seats, go into the studio, put on headphones and listen to me sing again, and then everyone comes one sentence at a time." Lin Ming beckoned them into the recording studio, where fourteen headphones and microphones were hung.

Recording equipment can be added, depending on the size of the venue. This recording studio is the largest in the entire company, about 100 square meters, and it is still a little empty when 14 people go in and occupy a place each. Outside the shed was the tuning room, and Song Fatzi was ready, just waiting for Lin Ming to give the order to start recording.

Lin Ming stood at the front, the left phalanx was the female vocal group, and the right phalanx was the boys' group. In later generations, the song "It's Not Because You Don't Look Good" once caused a lot of controversy, although it was a ridiculous song, but the content in it pierced the hearts of many girls, resulting in mixed reviews on the Internet. This is already an open online world in the future, and if it is put in this era, it will definitely be sprayed to the ground. So in order to prevent such a situation, Lin Ming divided the upper and lower parts of this song into two parts, combining the boys' version and the girls' version of the previous life to make a neutralized version. If you want to pierce not only the hearts of girls, but also the hearts of boys, you have to pierce everyone's mentality to balance.

Lin Ming sang the boys' version over again, and then let everyone freely distribute the song passages. Everyone asked Zhang Shaoan to sing first, and Zhou Yunkai sang the end. The first half is 17 verses, divided into two sections, one for each person, and the last 17 verses are sung together.

However, the girls' side is a little more troublesome, because there are only 6 girls, and the second half and the first half have been modified by Lin Ming and become 20 sentences. 6 people are assigned 20 lyrics, which is obviously a bit difficult to distribute.

After the final discussion, it was decided that everyone would take turns singing the first 12 verses, and it would not become a chorus until the last 8 verses. Doing so not only allows the girls' group to make a splash in the final counterattack, but also creates an unexpected comedic effect. After all, the boys' group in front of them scared the girls very badly, and the Jedi counterattack of the girls' group can't be too weak.

Thereupon.

Everyone first rehearsed according to the tune that Lin Ming sang just now, and rehearsed the music in the headphones.

The results of the first rehearsal were naturally unsatisfactory, after all, this song is a brand new song, and everyone has never heard or sung it. Fortunately, the content of the song is very simple, and everyone only needs to be familiar with their own sentence, and there is no need to remember the lyrics of the whole song.

In the next two days of vacation, 14 friends soaked in the Taomu company to record and sing this song. In fact, this song is still very simple as long as you are familiar with it, but the boys' group frequently has problems, either who is out of tune or who can't keep up with the rhythm, so it hasn't been recorded for two or three days.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day that the song was successfully recorded. After Song Fatzi's tuning technology, even Zhang Shaoan, who has incomplete five notes, sings like a star, and is very addicted to being a star.

In the past two days, through discussions, the name of the team has also been chosen, called Dream Orchestra. This name was chosen by the eldest sister of the girls, Yuan Wenwen, who suppressed the protests of all the boys, and Lin Ming didn't care. Compared with the boys' Pegasus Meteor Cluster and the Charge God of War Troupe, the Dream Orchestra is much more reliable.
