Chapter 371: Everything is ready
"Good!"
After Lu Chong finished singing, Cui Jian immediately applauded and applauded with Ni Hao and Lai Hui'er, as well as the staff present.
"Great! Lu Chong, you are indeed one of the most talented music creators I have seen in years!"
This "Midsummer Lightyear" was originally launched as the theme song of a movie, but after its release, the popularity of the song has successfully surpassed the movie itself and become a classic song that has been circulated, and its quality is undoubted.
However, the more important reason why Cui Jian gave such a high evaluation is because this song is so in line with the theme of "The Voice of China".
Lu Chong said just now that "The Voice of China" was founded for those who have music dreams, but cannot embark on the road of music for various reasons.
And the confusion about dreams and the pursuit of firmness described in this song perfectly fit this concept. And the spirit of never turning is the best spiritual guidance that inspires these dreamers.
Just as Cui Jian's "Nothing" was the cry of that generation, "Midsummer Light Year" is the strongest voice for those who are unwilling to be ordinary in this era.
For a song to become a classic, in addition to its own musicality, it must also have ideology. That's why many songs in rock music can become classics, while those popular music are forgotten after just a few years or even months.
Lu Chong put down the guitar in his hand with a smile and said to Cui Jian: "Teacher Cui, how about it, can we sign this contract?"
Cui Jian waved his hand and said: "The contract can be signed at any time, you can bring it to me when you are ready, you can watch it!
For a true musician, facing a good piece is like a foodie facing food, and he can't enjoy it right away.
Although Lu Chong's playing and singing just now performed very well, after all, he only played and sang by himself on the guitar, without the accompaniment of the complete arrangement, as if a delicacy had not been added to the final seasoning, and there was always a lack of taste.
So Cui Jian was a little impatient, he wanted to enjoy the most perfect version of this song for the first time.
Lu Chong had already made the arrangement of this song based on the memory of his previous life, but he said with some embarrassment: "I have indeed made up the arrangement, and I was originally going to record the song and launch it in the next few days." But we don't have a band here right now!"
Cui Jian's eyes widened, as if he was insulted, and pointed to Lu Chong and said: "What are you talking nonsense, why don't you have a band here, I'm not a ready-made guitarist, as for the rest, you just need to say what instruments you need, within half an hour, I promise to find all of them for you, they are definitely top candidates!"
Lu Chong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Let you personally accompany me, how dare you do this!"
Cui Jian was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and stretched out his hand and said: "If you have a music score, take it out quickly, I'll start practicing first, let's try to record it today!"
Since Cui Jian is so enthusiastic, Lu Chong would be hypocritical to recommend it again, and when he said the instrument he needed, he went to Cui Jian's office to write the score, and now it is still in his head.
After Cui Jian received Lu Chong's request, he immediately made several phone calls in a row, and he stayed in the recording studio, recalling the recording of Lu Chong's playing and singing just now, and practiced first.
Cui Jian's reputation as the godfather of the music scene is really not given in vain, Lu Chong has just finished the score, and the instrumentalists he needs have already rushed to Cui Jian's studio.
And as Cui Jian said, they can be regarded as the top in China, at least they are also first-line candidates. This is also because Shangjing is one of the music centers in China, so there are so many talents, of course, thanks to the fact that there is no traffic jam in Shangjing today, these people can arrive so quickly......
They are all professionals, and they get started very quickly, and these people called by Cui Jian, like him, are also people with a high passion for music. Although it was almost lunch time, everyone didn't care, ordered a few simple box lunches, and began to practice.
The tune of "Midsummer Lightyear" was not complicated originally, and these people were extremely professional, in less than three hours, Lu Chong had already completed the run-in with this improvised band and completed the recording of "Midsummer Lightyear".
Even Cui Jian, who can be regarded as picky about music requirements, has no opinion on the final finished product, and it is conceivable that this song will be launched with "The Voice of China", and it will definitely gain a high reputation.
Not to mention anything else, just by saying the lineup of this accompaniment, I don't know how many people will fall through the glasses. Although Lu Chong has been in the limelight recently, he is still a newcomer in the music circle, and it can be said that from now on, with the help of Cui Jian, Lu Chong has really begun to integrate into this circle and is accepted by insiders.
When they recorded the song, Lai Huier had already rushed back to Zhiyuan Media, printed the contract according to the terms of the previous contract with several other mentors, and handed it to Cui Jian's economist Ni Hao.
Although the specific amount was not specified in the contract, Lu Chong had already explained this sharing model to Ni Hao before, and after Ni Hao checked that there was no problem with the contract, he immediately handed it over to Cui Jian to sign the name.
The last tutor of "The Voice of China" has also been determined.
And this time, Lu Chong also received an unexpected surprise, in the recording studio, Cui Jian helped him give the music director and band of the show by the way.
Because Lu Chong put forward extremely high requirements for live music, Zhiyuan Media had previously contacted Jin Shaogang, the top sound engineer in China, and invited him to join the program team, but Jin Shaogang refused. Now Zhiyuan Media is contacting another sound engineer with slightly less qualifications, but it has not been decided.
In order to be able to record the best effect just now, Cui Jian did not use the sound engineer in his studio, but called Jin Shaogang, who happened to stay in Beijing, Jin Shaogang and Cui Jian had worked together in concerts as early as the early nineties, and they were old friends.
After the recording was completed, Lu Chong immediately took advantage of the situation to invite again, and Jin Shaogang was originally a little moved after learning that Cui Jian had been invited to join "The Voice of China", since Lu Chong showed sincerity in inviting again, and Cui Jian was on the side, he agreed.
Not only that, but the other musicians who came over also expressed their interest when they saw that their two old friends had joined the show. Lu Chong was overjoyed, and immediately reached a verbal agreement with them, and having these top figures in the Chinese music circle join, it is definitely a great improvement for the quality of the program.
At this point, "The Voice of China" has been prepared from the mentor to the musical power, just waiting for the day when it will appear on the screen and become a blockbuster!
