Chapter 11: Start a whole new genre!
The mixer suddenly sobered up.
This Cantonese opera is sung at a very high level, the voice is clear, not only the key is high, but also the grasp is very accurate, which makes people feel no discomfort at all when they listen to it.
He immediately looked down at the lyrics that the two had handed him before they went in to record.
In the past, the stunning Cantonese opera was replaced by a calm Cantonese male voice, as if telling a story affectionately.
The mixer's eyes light up again!
As a Lingnan person in Nanzhou, who doesn't have a Cantonese pride dream in his heart?
However, his Cantonese speaking is not standard, it is only to the point where he can speak, and it is absolutely impossible to sing.
His mind was in a trance, as if he hadn't recorded a Cantonese song in years, right?
This Cantonese male voice evoked deep memories for him.
"Fate gathers and disperses, and in the drama, there will be changes in ups and downs
Anger and pain, tears to be, exchange for lovers owed
Who is in love ~~"
The mixer looked deeply at the two people singing in the studio, and in the singer's headset, an accompaniment wet sound was played, and they sang along to the rhythmic melody.
But in his ears, it was the singer's dry voice!
There is no musical accompaniment, no reflex reverb, purely human voice.
The dry sound level of these two people, the mixer can judge it at once-
Very strong!
In his five-year career as a mixer, he once helped a first-line singer record music.
The feeling they gave him was the same as the feeling that the first-line singer gave him, very stable, with a good idea, and a natural voice mobilization.
The most important thing is that they have developed a personal style, even if they just listen to the dry sound, they can hear a different feeling from the dry sound of other singers.
The mixer listened to the sound, looked at the words, and the hand that touched the score trembled slightly after a long time.
He had a hunch that this music combining pop music and Cantonese opera was very likely to create a new genre for the song!
If he remembers correctly, I'm afraid this song "Waiting for You to Return" is the first to do so.
What a proper mountain monster!
He took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement, his empty eyes instantly sharpened, and he took out 200 percent professionalism to examine the song with an extremely professional and demanding attitude.
As long as this song is done well, it is likely to become one of his masterpieces of remixing!
At the end of the song, He Huanying and Gu Che raised their heads together and looked at the mixer standing in front of the debugging machine.
The mixer was looking at the lyrics with his head down, looking at the lyrics with a somewhat serious expression, as if he was thinking about something.
The atmosphere is eerily quiet.
Kong Ping and Luo Mingli, who were outside the venue, also looked at the mixer.
The mixer, who was stared at by four pairs of eyes and sat in the middle, remained motionless, as steady as Mount Tai.
After waiting for a while, Luo Mingli couldn't sit still, and took the initiative to ask, "Teacher Zhou, is it okay to record this version?" ā
The mixer assigned to them has five years of experience in the industry, has served many second- and third-tier singers, and has also participated in the mixing and recording of first-tier singers, called Zhou Fanxian.
His bio and experience are hung on a small sign at the door of the studio, which is a sense of peace of mind that the mixer is reliable.
Xingyao and the mixer adopt a cooperation model, and the mixer who can be arranged to work in a professional recording studio basically has his own exclusive recording studio.
Zhou Fan came back to his senses in a trance, coughed a few times, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I just thought about something." ā
He looked at Gu Che and He Huanying with burning eyes, and praised him unabashedly: "This song of yours makes me very amazing, I hear a lot of elements in it." Look at the lyrics, this is a love song about waiting, right? Can I know more about the story and background of this song? ā
Afraid that they would misunderstand, Zhou Fan added first: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, I just want to understand the background of the song, so that I can understand the song and tune out the feeling that suits the song." ā
Gu Che and He Huanying glanced at each other, He Huanying thought about it, nodded lightly, and walked out.
Gu Che also came out of the recording studio and talked to the mixer about his inspiration when he was creating.
Although it was done in a dream, it didn't prevent him from making it up.
What's more, he also saw a behind-the-scenes interview related to the creation of "The Legend of the White Snake: Love" in his dream, which can be used completely, which can be described as a ready-made "open mouth".
Unlike everyone who thinks that the mixer just wants to have a rough understanding, Zhou Fan was very interested in the adapted version of "The Legend of the White Snake" they described, and consulted a lot of content.
When Gu Che answered, he was constantly sorting out his thoughts, and at the same time, he also had a deeper understanding of the song "Waiting for You to Return".
He Huanying's harvest is greater than Gu Che's.
With the refinement of the worldview background, she has a deeper understanding of this song.
"Waiting for a thousand years, the past is like a dream, but their emotions are still unswerving, and finally their love touches the heavens, so that the two meet again after crossing the millennium...... What I want to express is such an emotion and story, love is great, as long as you love each other, you can cross time, cross scenes, and let two people who love each other meet again. ā
Zhou Fan couldn't stop nodding his head and praised again and again: "I can hear your thoughts from this song, especially the use of Cantonese opera to express the voices of lovers for thousands of years in ancient times, which is even more whimsical." Cantonese opera has been inherited for so many years, and it can fully bear this important responsibility, blending with Cantonese, and the harmony between the two seems to be as beautiful as transcending time. ā
He thought for a while and said, "In terms of lyrics and songs, it has been compiled very well, and only the mixing can put some effort into it." I see that what you are taking out now is a finished product, and the match is okay, but I think the ancient flavor can be stronger, not only the use of guqin, gudi, but also the use of some traditional musical instruments of the Xia Kingdom. ā
Zhou Fan decided first: "In this case, I will record your voice first, and then help you fix the rhythm and instrument of the mix." ā
The business scope of the mixer is very large, but when they come to the recording studio to record songs, they often have already done the finished songs, accompaniment music, etc., and the mixer is only responsible for repairing the singer's voice and the overall control of the recording process.
If you also have to help change the melody such as the mixing accompaniment, it is not just the price of renting a recording studio.
If a song wants to be beautiful and pleasant, it is not just the singer's effort.
Gu Che looked at Kong Ping and gave a look-
Are the mixers so dedicated these days?
Not only do you have to listen to the creative background, but you also volunteer to help revise the accompaniment mix and the arrangement of the inserted instruments?
It's too rolly, isn't it?
Kong Ping was also at a loss, and he didn't know what was going on.
Luo Mingli didn't think much about it, but asked worriedly: "But we only rented the recording studio for two days, can we finish it in two days?" ā
Zhou Fanxian's mouth twitched fiercely, it will be finished in two days?
007 means 007 can't do it!
Zhou Fan shook his head first: "No, I guess it will take a week to work hardest, it's not so easy to modify the mix, and it's even more difficult to adjust the existing soundtrack." ā
Luo Mingli frowned.
Afraid that he would say something amazing, Zhou Fan first hurriedly said: "Are you in a hurry to use the song, if you rush me to see if I can get it done in three or four days." ā
Luo Mingli was about to speak, but Gu Che pulled him and took the initiative to say: "No, we don't need to be in such a hurry, just give us the finished song within half a month." It'sā"
He paused, "How do you calculate the cost on your side?" ā
The arrangement and remix of "Waiting for You to Return" were all done by him, and following the extremely clear memory in the dream, he skillfully reproduced the song.
Even Gu Che himself was surprised, but it was the case.
However, he is not a professional mixer after all, and there may be overlooked aspects of the reproduction, and it would be better if it could be handed over to a professional to refine it.
Zhou Fanxian hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I don't need any fees, I volunteered to help you, you can think of it as seeing a good song, so I want to have fun." ā
"Yes, that's it......" he said embarrassedly, "can you put the name of the mixer when you release this song?" ā
Gu Che smiled and said briskly, "No problem." ā
