Chapter 2: Recording Songs
Xidu TV is one of the four major TV stations in China, and there are often some programs that need to use professional recording studios, so Xidu TV directly built one.
Qi Yuan pushed the door and entered.
In the brightly lit recording studio, three or four figures sat on the sofa, and in front of the monitor sat a middle-aged man, wearing a black-rimmed glasses, balding, looking in his forties.
He is Liu Shiyi, the music director of Xidu TV.
Inside a thick soundproof wall, a beautiful girl stood, singing.
The girl Qi Yuan knew, she was a singer who had recently become popular, and this time she was recording a program on Xidu TV, and she needed to sing in the program, so she came to the recording studio to record it first, and it was good to lip-sync when recording the show.
Qi Yuan waited for about half an hour, the girl and her assistant agent finished recording, and only Qi Yuan and Liu Zongshi were left in the recording studio.
"Xiao Yuan, something? The soundtrack of your show is simple, don't rush, I'll give it to you next week. ”
Liu Shiyi was more polite to Qi Yuan, because he liked the song "Sweet Honey" written by Qi Yuan six years ago.
Now Qi Yuan has terminated the contract with Tianhao Group, although he did not say it explicitly, but with the status of Tianhao Group in the entertainment industry, Qi Yuan is in a state of being semi-blocked, so he still has some sympathy for Qi Yuan here.
Qi Yuan smiled and handed over his music score, and said, "Brother, I'm not here to talk about work. I wrote a song, help record it? ”
Liu Shiyi took the score and said with a smile: "You kid is blatantly using work time to do private work." But let's not take this as an example. ”
Qi Yuan said: "That's for sure." ”
"Do you have an arrangement for this song?"
Qi Yuan shook his head.
At this time, Liu Shiyi did not speak again, his eyes staring at the paper in his hand.
His hand holding the score trembled slightly.
He took off his glasses, wiped them, put them back on, and read the lyrics of Qi Yuan's music score several times from beginning to end.
"This ...... Did you really write it? ”
"It's like a fake."
Liu Shiyi patted Qi Yuan's shoulder excitedly: "I know!" I knew it! You kid can write "Sweet Honey", how can you not write a new song! ”
"Brother Liu thinks this song is not bad?"
"This song is very good!"
Liu Shiyi touched his bright head, and the whole person looked extremely entangled.
Qi Yuan's song is very good, there is no arrangement yet, he wants to arrange this song, the kind that doesn't need money.
The song of a song generally refers to the vocal main melody part of the song, while the arrangement is based on the emotional needs expressed by the song, adding chords, sound effects, instruments, etc.
Arrangement, simply put, is the accompaniment to a song.
Arranging is a test of a musician's skills, and there are not many musicians in the Chinese music scene who can make independent songwriters or even producers.
Liu Shiyi's entanglement lies in the fact that the song "People Like Me" is really good, and he also wants to participate, but he is afraid that he will ruin this song.
As if seeing Liu Shiyi's entanglement, Qi Yuan took the initiative to say: "Brother, I am now blocked by Tianhao, although no one has mentioned this matter, it is already an unspoken rule." I'm looking for a reliable producer in other channels, it's difficult in a short period of time, so you can help? ”
"Okay then! But let's not do it in the stage, get off work in the evening, and go to my studio to do a good job of arranging! ”
……
Two days later.
In a recording studio with simple decoration and full of various musical instruments, Qi Yuan stood in front of the microphone and gave Liu Shiyi an OK gesture.
This is Liu Shiyi's studio, in addition to working at Xidu TV and making soundtracks for the programs in the station, Liu Shiyi usually takes on some private work.
For example, at this time, there are two women sitting behind him, the younger one is called Jiang Qianye, in his twenties, he is a rookie singer who has just debuted for half a year, and the older one is called Zhao Yue, who is Jiang Qianye's agent.
Zhao Yue bought a song from Liu Shiyi and gave it to Jiang Qianye, and made an appointment to record the song today. Just in time for Qi Yuan and Liu Shiyi to do the accompaniment of "People Like Me", they also came to record their own songs.
Inside the glass wall, Qi Yuan has already begun to sing:
"A person as good as me should have a brilliant life."
"How come it is that after more than 20 years, it is still floating in the sea of people."
As soon as the slightly hoarse voice came out, it instantly captured the hearts of the three people present.
Jiang Qianye knew Qi Yuan, Qi Yuan was so popular a few years ago, and later I heard that his creative ability declined and gradually disappeared from the entertainment industry, but the person in front of him, the person who sang this song, doesn't this song still represent his creative ability?
A person as good as me should have lived a brilliant life.
That's talking about himself.
Liu Shiyi shook his bald head slightly, slightly closed his eyes, and enjoyed it very much.
"A smart person like me has long said goodbye to innocence."
"Why did you still use a relationship to change a scar."
That's really what he said about himself! A relationship? Is it the marriage between him and the queen of heaven Gu Hongli?
Jiang Qianye stared at Qi Yuan, who was handsome and slightly vicissitudes behind the thick glass.
"That's good." Liu Shiyi couldn't help but turn around and say a word to Jiang Qianye's agent Zhao Yue.
Zhao Yue looked at Qi Yuan deeply, as if she was discovering a treasure.
She is now just a small agent in a small company, and her goal is to bring out an artist like Qi Yuan, who was at the peak of the year.
Qi Yuan was at the peak of his debut, and because of his creative ability, he was deeply loved by everyone, but he was also eliminated by this cruel entertainment industry because he lost his creation.
But now, Qi Yuan's creativity seems to be back?
If...... If you can get two songs from Qi Yuan, no, a high-quality song, will Jiang Qianye, who has been tepid for half a year after her debut, go further?
About an hour later, "People Like Me" was recorded.
The voice of the system soon sounded in Qi Yuan's mind:
"Congratulations to the host for completing the recording of the first song and getting a reward silver treasure chest."
Qi Yuan walked out and clicked on the silver treasure chest.
"Congratulations to the host for the novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."
Novel? Or science fiction?
Liu Shi handed the recorded master tape to Qi Yuan, and the two chatted for a few words, and Zhao Yue on the side couldn't help but come up: "That...... Qi Yuan, can we take a group photo? I'm your fan. ”
Qi Yuan said: "Okay, now Chiba is more famous than me, I should take a photo with her, haha." ”
"Where is it, Brother Yuan, you are a senior." Jiang Qianye also bowed his waist and came up, and together with Liu Shiyi, the four of them took a group photo, Zhao Yue happily changed contact information with Qi Yuan, saying that she hoped that Jiang Qianye would have the opportunity to sing the songs written by Qi Yuan in the future.
Everyone burst into laughter, and the whole studio was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
