Chapter 13: Recording over and over again
When Chen Xiunan was talking to the recording engineer, Chen Qiming had already brewed his emotions, he made an OK gesture to the outside, and then put on his headphones and waited for the accompaniment to begin.
Seeing this, the recording engineer who was listening to Chen Xiunan pressed the device and began to play the accompaniment for recording.
Chen Xiunan also picked up the monitor and put it on his head at this time to listen to Chen Qiming's singing.
"Oh......"
With a melodious front hum, Chen Qiming began to sing.
A swaying red wine glass, lips like blood
That unusual beauty, unforgivable sin
Whoever faithfully follows will be a guard at best
Roses under your feet
A kiss in return should be a comfort
……
Listening to Chen Qiming's singing voice in the monitor, the more the recording engineer listened, the more strange his face became, and he couldn't help but look at Chen Xiunan.
In his sight, Chen Xiunan's face hurt, and he didn't speak, just quietly looked at Chen Qiming who was recording in the recording room.
"This still needs to be tempered?"
After listening to a few more words, the recording engineer couldn't help but whisper.
How does Chen Qiming sing?
There is no doubt that in the eyes of the recording engineer, this is definitely a singing skill that only the top powerful people have.
The recording engineer used to be a professional recording engineer of Xinge Records, and in March this year, after Xinge Records was acquired by Rolling Stone Records, he did not join Rolling Stones, but was poached by Ge Fuhong to Fulong Records.
Because he has served as the recording engineer of the ace hicchu choir of Xinge Records, the recording engineer has his own set of evaluation criteria for the division of singers' strength.
And Chen Qiming's singing is definitely a top-level performance in his opinion, which is simply perfect.
From the first line to now, a song is almost finished, but he can't find a single shortcoming or reason for re-recording it.
[I want to isolate the world from the rocks]
[My princess, I want to dominate your beauty]
As the last lyrics fell, Chen Qiming took off his headphones and looked outside.
Outside, the recording engineer gave him a thumbs up for the first time.
As for Chen Xiunan, he also wears a monitor.
Just when Chen Qiming was wondering how well he could sing, Chen Xiunan took off the monitor and was silent for a while before he took the microphone and said to Chen Qiming in the recording area: "Record it again, can you keep one?" ”
"What?" Chen Qiming looked confused.
Guaranteed one? This isn't a shoot!
As if he felt that there was indeed something wrong with his words, Chen Xiunan explained: "Record it again, and then compare it, use the most perfect!" ”
All right! In fact, this is Chen Xiunan covering up his embarrassment.
Before starting the recording, he just told the recording engineer that Chen Qiming was too smooth, too proud, and his strength was insufficient, and he still had to temper it.
As a result, as soon as he turned his head, Chen Qiming came to a perfect recording, which made him completely unable to find any reason from this recording.
He didn't have any emotions that made him angry because he was slapped in the face, but in order to alleviate the embarrassment, he decided to let Chen Qiming record it again.
"Okay!" Hearing this, Chen Qiming didn't ask much, signaled to the outside, and re-recorded it.
This time, although there were some minor flaws in his singing, it was harmless, and it was a perfect recording.
After Chen Qiming finished recording, Chen Xiunan was no longer in the recording studio.
The sound engineer said he had gone to arrange for post-production.
"You're good, you're the first singer I've ever met who recorded once!"
Looking at the handsome young man standing in front of him, the recording engineer couldn't help but praise.
"Thank you!" Chen Qiming was a little embarrassed, "Mainly because I am familiar with these songs, so it is much easier to sing!" ”
After chatting with the recording engineer, Chen Qiming walked out of the studio.
In the meantime, he looked at the time.
Less than an hour.
He only spent about an hour recording, and most of this time was used by the recording engineer and Chen Xiunan to debug the equipment.
If you really count his recording time, it will only be about ten minutes.
Chen Qiming has no idea about this time.
He hadn't seen anyone else recording, so he didn't know if he was fast.
But according to his estimate, he shouldn't be too different.
After all, it takes three or four minutes to say a song, and it takes eight or nine minutes to record it twice.
No matter how you calculate your own recording time, it should be considered fast.
Out of the recording studio, Chen Qiming stood on the corridor and was a little confused.
He ended the recording early, and he didn't know what he was supposed to do.
As for the later stages of the song.
That's not his job.
The company has a dedicated post-production team to continue post-mixing and processing, and he is not needed for these things.
So, after the recording, he basically had nothing to do.
After thinking about it, Chen Qiming took out a pager from his bag, and there were several phone messages on it.
He hadn't had time to go back before, and now he was taking advantage of this free time to go back.
As soon as he thought of it, he left the company's recording area and walked towards Liu Ciwei's office.
Although the company has several phones, those phones are basically work phones, and it is not convenient for him to return personal calls.
So he usually uses Liu Ciwei's phone to call home.
When I came to Liu Ciwei's office, Liu Ciwei was not in the office.
Chen Qiming was not polite, walked in by himself, and called home first.
There was no telephone at his house, and the call was made directly to a commissary not far from his house.
The commissary is where people from people who don't have a phone installed in his neighborhood make calls.
Every time she told the lady in the commissary who she was looking for, she would call the person concerned to come and answer at the top of her voice.
"Little sister of the Chen family! Your brother is calling! Come and answer the phone! ”
The familiar loud voice of the eldest lady came from the earpiece, which made Chen Qiming couldn't help but smile.
This Aunt Li's voice is like a trumpet, and when she shouts, everyone nearby can hear it clearly.
When she was a child, several children in their neighborhood also gave her the nickname Aunt Loud.
After waiting for about two minutes, the voice of the little sister Chen Qirui finally came from the other end of the phone.
"Brother, why did you call back, that sister can't wait, it's all gone!"
As soon as Chen Qirui spoke, he complained.
Hearing this, Chen Qiming was a little puzzled, "Who is looking for me?" ”
"I don't know her either, she said her name is Zeng Baoyi, she is your classmate, she came to look for you at home, we said that after you arrived in Taipei, she also asked me to call you, saying that there is something to do with you." Chen Qirui said.
"I see!" Chen Qiming nodded and began to inquire about the situation at home.
After knowing that everything was fine at home, he chatted with his little sister a few more words before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone from Xiaomei's side, Chen Qiming thought about it and dialed Zeng Baoyi.
He was a little curious about what Zeng Baoyi was looking for him, and he actually needed to find his house.
Zeng Baoyi has a phone, she is a rich man, and she has always carried a big brother in her schoolbag.
So the call was quickly connected.
