Chapter 26 Song Recording
At the end of February, Fang Yan's house in Weizhou.
"Mom, I'm leaving!"
"Wait, do you bring all your spring and summer clothes? ID card to see if you have taken it? Remember the bolognese I made for you......"
"Okay, Mom, don't worry about it!"
Fang Yan was holding large and small duffel bags, looking like he was going to move.
These things were carefully prepared by Zhao Jing, clothes, hats, shoes, canned food, meat sauce, etc., as long as she could think of items, all of them were stuffed into her luggage.
"Xiaoyan, can't you leave two days late?"
"Mom, didn't I say that!" Fang Yan said helplessly: "I'll go back to the imperial capital to deal with something, everyone is already getting better with me, I can't release pigeons!" ”
Zhao Jing complained and said: "You are the same child, you can't deal with it early and late, you have to deal with it during the winter vacation!" ”
"Okay, it's all my fault!"
Fang Yan said with a wry smile: "Originally, the winter vacation was almost over, and it didn't hurt for me to go back two days earlier, just tidy up the house." ”
"Alas...... It's a big deal, so you can go if you want to. ”
Zhao Jing reluctantly sorted out Fang Yan's packing: "Pay more attention when you take the train, and remember to call your mother when you get home." ”
"Okay, you can rest assured."
Fang Yan waved goodbye to his mother and returned to the imperial capital by train.
…………
Five days later, Red Star Music Production Agency.
In the recording studio, Xu Weitou was wearing headphones and was concentrating on singing songs.
"Blooming and never withering, Blue Lotus—"
"Brother Xu, stop!"
Xu Wei was singing the climax of "Blue Lotus" when he was suddenly interrupted by Fang Yan.
"Pay attention, the lyrics of the Blue Lotus in the chorus, the flower word must reach the highest note of G4, and it must be maintained in four beats!"
In the control room outside the soundproof window, Fang Yan was sitting in front of the mixer, instructing Xu Wei through the microphone with a serious face.
"Okay, is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"
"Don't sing this sentence too floatingly, it should be a little thicker, it sounds powerful."
In the face of Xu Wei, a professional singer, Fang Yan did not show any timidity, but repeatedly corrected the other party's problems like a teacher teaching a student.
In fact, in terms of overall musical ability, Xu Wei is stronger than Fang Yan, a layman.
However, in terms of song singing and comprehension, Fang Yan is an absolute authority, and he is convinced that Xu Wei is convinced.
"No, the pitch is up, down a little."
"Stop, it's a little too tight here, relax a little bit and do it all over again."
"It's still not right, I said to pay attention to ......"
I don't know when, Chen Jiantian quietly slipped into the control room, he stood in the corner with his hands on his chest, and his mood was a little complicated.
At the beginning, Chen Jiantian was skeptical about Fang Yan being a producer.
Can a newcomer with little experience train a good singer? Can you convince the singer?
However, what he didn't expect was that Fang Yan's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and he quickly took the lead and trained Xu Wei to obey.
"Through the dark years, I also felt hesitant-"
After a long time of singing and recording, Xu Wei was already a little tired, and his singing effect was gradually declining.
"Brother Xu, it's okay today, let's record it tomorrow!"
Seeing this, Fang Yan quickly stopped, wanting Xu Wei to take a good rest.
"It doesn't matter, I'll drink some water to slow down, let's just continue practicing."
Xu Wei stubbornly shook his head, wanting to finish recording "Blue Lotus" today.
Fang Yanzou frowned, and said in a resolute tone: "Listen to me, I've been singing long enough today, you have to rest!" ”
"Hmm...... All right. Xu Wei sighed and left the recording studio with some reluctance.
"Mr. Fang, Xu Wei, you have all worked hard."
Seeing that the recording was over, Chen Jiantian stepped forward with a smile on his face.
"Hey, Mr. Chen, when did you come?"
"Hahaha, I've been in for a while, and seeing that you are recording so seriously, I am not embarrassed to disturb you."
Speaking of this, Chen Jiantian patted the shoulders of the two of them and said with concern: "Although the recording of songs is important, you must also pay attention to rest, otherwise it will not be worth it when people are tired and sick!" ”
Since Fang Yan returned to the imperial capital, he has hardly returned home except for placing his luggage, and has devoted himself to the production of songs.
Similarly, Xu Wei also tried his best, and sang until his throat was hoarse every day.
The reason why the two are in such a hurry is because there is not much time left for recording.
That's right, Xu Wei's album release date has been confirmed and will be released in April.
Of the ten songs included in this album, five of them were written by Fang Yan - "Blue Lotus", "Free as the Wind", "Once You", "Born Like a Summer Flower", and "Fly Higher".
The other five are songs written by Xu Wei himself - "Tonight", "Simple", "Hometown", "September", and "Direction".
In order to catch up with the release time, the two stayed in the studio all day, tired and dizzy, one was about to vomit when he sang, and the other was about to vomit when he listened.
Why is the album in such a hurry, in fact, there is no way.
Chen Jiantian has already inquired in advance, and the singers who released the album in the second half of the year are all fierce people.
Yu Quan's album "The Most Beautiful", Nicholas Tse's album "Thank You for Your Love 1999", Jolin Tsai's album "Jolin 1019", Liang Jingru's album "Growing Up Overnight", Tao Zhe's album "I am ok", Mok Wenwei's album "It's Mok Wenwei", ......
To be honest, as soon as he saw the names of these singers, Fang Yan had a big head, and he was 100% supportive of the decision to release the album in the first half of the year.
After all, Fang Yan was going to earn bonuses, and it would be no good for him to go toe-to-toe with these fierce people.
Having said that, in fact, the first half of the year was not easy, with Na Ying's album "What Attitude" in May, and Zheng Xiuwen's album "I Should Get It".
In the face of these two music divas, Fang Yan's best choice is to release the album as soon as possible.
The album was released a month earlier, and if the market response was good, it could also take advantage of the victory and chase after it and meet the two music divas.
Otherwise, if you sing behind their butts, you won't even be able to drink soup.
"How's the recording going now?" Chen Jiantian asked.
"It's okay, I've recorded 3 songs so far, and at the current rate, it should be possible to complete them all in the first half of March."
Fortunately in the misfortune, the ten songs on the album are all relatively easy to sing, and there are no particularly difficult songs.
Chen Jiantian nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's fast, but you can't be too anxious about doing things, I'll give you two a day off, go home and relax!" ”
"This ...... All right! ”
Fang Yan and Xu Wei glanced at each other, and both showed tired smiles.
