Chapter Eighty-Six: Recording Songs
Half an hour later, Qin Yan drove to the vicinity of the Yenching Film Academy and found a small recording studio called "Dream".
This was opened by a senior in the same school as Qin Yan, and he had worked together a few times back then, so he was also familiar.
The two got out of the car, and Qin Yan walked in with the heavily armed Yu Fei.
As soon as he entered the door, Shen Chengyuan, the owner of the recording studio, recognized Qin Yan.
"Senior Brother Qin, you are really a rare guest, you haven't come to me for more than a year, right?" Shen Chengyuan said.
Qin Yan smiled: "But isn't it, I didn't expect Senior Shen's recording studio to be open." β
"Haha, I'm not heating up on my dreams, and besides, I don't plan to make money from this recording studio." Shen Chengyuan laughed.
Nowadays, there are more and more entertainment companies in Yanjing, and major companies basically have their own recording studios, so few people come to such small commercial recording studios to record songs.
Occasionally, they are either independent singers or simply students, and no matter which one they are, they don't have much money in their hands, so the profits of Shen Chengyuan's recording studio can be imagined.
"It's rare that Senior Shen has such a pure heart." Qin Yan praised Shen Chengyuan, and then got straight to the point: "I'm going to record a song, senior, there's no problem today, right?" β
"No problem, a few guys from the band are on call, and they can start work in half an hour." Shen Chengyuan patted his chest and reassured.
finally came to a business, and he still had to wait for it.
Qin Yan nodded and said, "That's okay, I'll borrow the senior's computer to make a score, and then wait for the band to come over and practice a few times first, and when the accompaniment is no problem, she will start recording." β
"She ......, you mean it's this beauty who recorded the song?" Shen Chengyuan pointed to Yu Fei, who was wearing a mask on the side, and asked in surprise.
When Qin Yan entered the door just now, he saw Yu Fei on the side, after all, Yu Fei was too tall, and although she was wearing a mask, she could still see that she was a beautiful woman.
It's just that the other party came with Qin Yan, so he didn't have the embarrassment to look at it, and guessed in his heart that this should be Qin Yan's girlfriend, who was brought over by him to play.
Now I didn't expect to look away, this beauty turned out to be a singer.
"That's right, isn't it possible that the senior still thinks that I am a little screenwriter to record songs?" Qin Yan asked with a smile.
Shen Chengyuan pursed his lips and said, "You can pull it down, and you think you are a little screenwriter." When I was in school, none of the people in the directing department were beaten by you, and everyone thought that you would become a director and make movies after graduation. β
"Haha, I don't have that skill. Without further ado, I'll print the score first. β
"Okay, I'll go inform the band."
After starting to do business, the two stopped greeting each other and started their work seriously.
After Qin Yan printed the score, he first pulled Yu Fei into the recording studio and asked her to sing a few times to practice.
This small recording studio is not like Shengtian Entertainment that has a few "million" tuners, and if Yu Fei really sings to the point where it needs to be overhauled, it will require additional money to outsource the sound repair, not to mention, and he won't be able to get the finished song today.
Fortunately, Yu Fei's talent is good, and after Qin Yan, a person who has heard the original version, he quickly sang the song well.
"Senior Brother Qin, the guys in the band have arrived, ah, you, you, Yu...... Yu Fei? β
Shen Chengyuan never thought that the beautiful woman Qin Yan brought over to record the song turned out to be the big star Yu Fei.
Oh my God, Senior Brother Qin is too good.
The musicians who followed behind were also stunned, completely unexpectedly that they had actually seen the star.
Yu Fei got up and greeted everyone generously, causing a ghost crying wolf howl.
It wasn't until Shen Chengyuan opened his mouth to stop it that the recording studio finally quieted down.
Shen Chengyuan said: "Senior Brother Qin, we will record the accompaniment first in a while, but we don't have a professional arranger teacher, and you know my own half-baked level, so I think you should do the arranging work." β
"No problem, I have a ready-made solution here." Qin Yan replied.
He participated in the short video contest in his senior year, and he also came here to record a lot of songs in the middle, and the arrangements at that time were all made by himself, which Shen Chengyuan knew very well.
Yu Fei glanced at Qin Yan in surprise again, and secretly said that this guy even knows how to make music, I really don't know what else he can't.
Next, Qin Yan handed over the arrangement to Shen Chengyuan, and took Yu Fei out of the recording studio first.
It takes a lot of time to record the accompaniment of an instrument, and they can't help much if they stay inside.
According to the normal process, the steps to record a song are often like this.
First the song is released, the singer learns to sing, then arranges, makes accompaniment, and records vocals. If you need a real person to harmonize during the recording, then you need to add another program. When all of the above is completed, it is synthesized by the sound engineer, at this time, what you hear is the demo, also known as the sample tape, and at the end, the master tape is made after post-mixing, tuning, and production.
Of course, it is also possible to record with simultaneous vocal accompaniment, but this is much more demanding. And at the same time, you can't get an accompaniment tape, so not many people use this method.
Shen Chengyuan's team was very professional, and after about an hour, the accompaniment had been recorded.
Qin Yan listened to it, the accompaniment can't be said to be flawless, but anyway, the sound has to be repaired in the later stage, and this deficiency can be ignored.
Yu Fei had been preparing for a long time, and after receiving Shen Chengyuan's signal, she drank a few sips of water to moisten her throat, and then walked into the recording studio alone, and the others all walked out.
Waiting for Yu Fei to bring the headset, Shen Chengyuan started the recording homework.
Microphone debugging, noise sampling, life recording, noise reduction, ,......
Yu Fei's singing is good, and she can't hear too many flaws.
After the first recording, Shen Chengyuan gave a thumbs up to Yu Fei in the recording studio, but he didn't expect Yu Fei's singing skills, which have always been regarded as a vase by netizens, to be so good.
Qin Yan also came over to listen to it, and felt that the singing was okay, but compared with Xiao Huang's version in his previous life, Yu Fei sang a little lacking in passion, so he asked Yu Fei to sing it twice more after he expressed his opinion.
Yu Fei was very cooperative, and corrected the original singing method according to Qin Yan's words, and the newly recorded version was really much better than the previous one.
Eventually, it took three hours for the song to be recorded.
Yu Fei simply uploaded the song to the music alliance website and posted a link on her Weibo:
"I wish me a happy 22nd birthday, and may the future of you and me be #StarsSea#. Happy Valentine's Day to everyone with a new song! β
There was no publicity, no warm-up, no traffic, and no overwhelming advertorials, just posted a Weibo at random.
But even so, the sensation caused by Yu Fei's new song is not small at all.
Thanks to the song "My Motherland and Me" on the Spring Festival Gala, Yu Fei's popularity is now at its peak, and she is no worse than a first-line star, and the number of fans on her Weibo has reached more than 14 million.
No, in just half an hour, #θθ²ζ°ζ#ηθ―ι’ε°±εΊη°ε¨δΊηζδΈ, and the number of preview downloads of songs is also increasing rapidly.
After Yu Fei's new song was released, he didn't pay too much attention to the results, but turned off his mobile phone and went shopping with Qin Yan wholeheartedly.
The two went to the commercial street and several large shopping malls like ordinary couples, Yu Fei bought a few beautiful clothes, and by the way, he also bought some for Qin Yan.
Qin Yan was naturally reluctant at first, but Yu Fei insisted, so he gave up.
At around 4 p.m., the two drove home.
"Let's go, I can't stand my legs if I go on any longer." Qin Yan leaned on the driver's seat and sighed.
No wonder sand sculpture netizens say that a woman's physical strength is unlimited when she goes shopping, he was still skeptical before, but now he believes it.
Yu Fei was satisfied, and said happily: "It's only been a long time, I haven't said anything about a girl, you are a big man, but you are tired, and you are not ashamed." β
"It's been almost three hours of walking, hurry up and fasten your seat belt, let's go back." Qin Yan said.
"Okay."
The vehicle starts, and the two go home.
At this time, the road is already a little congested.
Seeing that Qin Yan had taken a long route, Yu Fei suddenly asked, "Why are you going this way, taking a detour." β
"I ordered a cake for you, and I'll take it along the way." Qin Yan said casually.
"Oh."
Yu Fei nodded and replied softly.
If Qin Yan looked carefully at this moment, it was not difficult to find that Yu Fei's pretty face was already red.
Hmph, I didn't expect this guy to have a good heart.
