Lu Ren's gaze wandered on the map of Flower Island on the bulletin board, and he unexpectedly found some familiar locations in his previous life.

It should be a low-profile version of a fake, he guessed.

"Hey, there's even a Sansheng Pavilion?"

A conspicuous mark on the map surprised Lu Ren even more.

Sansheng Pavilion is the place where he confessed to Xiao Qingmei in his previous life.

The Sansheng Pavilion in Huadao is on the nearby Tashan, where there is an artificially built ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the ancient town, there are food streets selling special delicacies such as wife cakes, and there are antique and quiet blue-tile houses.

And Sansheng Pavilion is in an artificial lake on the edge of the town.

It wasn't too far from him, and it took about half an hour to walk.

"After a thousand years, the wife's bread has been handed down."

Lu Ren was very surprised when he saw the scenic spots and delicacies introduced on the map, and immediately recalled that not only wife cakes, but also traditional delicacies such as hot pot, tofu brain, back pot meat, and zongzi have been handed down.

It is worthy of my big foodie empire, the people take food as the sky, and art or anything can stand aside!

Just as he was about to set off to take a look, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in the gap in the middle of the bulletin board.

Lu Ren subconsciously took a step back vigilantly, and his right foot fell down into the sand pit, which was convenient for kicking the sand and scattering ashes at the first time.

I saw Jasmine, who was dressed coolly, coming out from behind the bulletin board, her eyebrows and eyes were a little anxious, and she pleaded straight to the point:

"Lu Ren, we have difficulties with the arrangement of "Mermaid", can you come and help take a look?"

Lu Ren thought about it, it was the same company anyway.

And he has the original arrangement of "The Mermaid" in his head, this problem is just a gesture for him, and he will not waste too much time.

After nodding his head in agreement, he followed Jasmine out of the beach and headed to the Flower Island Hotel not far away.

On the way, Jasmine also took the initiative to chat with Lu Ren about the program mechanism.

"Although "Discovering the True Star" does not have a program script for external publicity, there is still a main line of the program.

The program is broadcast in the form of a 5-day recording. We will have a talent competition on multiples of 5 days, such as the 5th, 10th, and 15th.

The rest of the days are spent learning from the judges, improving their talent skills and completing some tasks given by the program team.

"Although it seems to be a casual competitive life show, leisure in the front and competition in the back, but there is also a knockout mechanism.

However, the elimination mechanism is temporarily kept secret by the program team, and it will not be announced until the program is officially recorded. ”

Lu Ren listened carefully, and looked at Jasmine's eyes from time to time, he always felt as if Jasmine was not talking to him, but to the people behind him.

But there was no one behind him except a few dragonflies flying around.

"What are you looking at? That's a dragonfly camera. ”

What, the camera? Lu Ren sighed in his heart, thinking that the lyrics he wrote just now were not seen by the program team?

Jasmine continued: "We Xingfeng Entertainment plus you have a total of four people, which can be said to be one of the biggest winners of this audition of "Discover the True Star", and the other is Haishan Media, they also entered four people, which is our biggest competitor this time. However, they are all virtual people, and they are more versatile, and we don't have much chance of winning against them. ”

Jasmine is still conservative in this point, in fact, she thinks in her heart that there is no chance of winning at all.

Her plan is to earn one more day of traffic if she can stay on this island for one more day.

can't beat the virtual people of Haishan, and there is still a little chance to beat the transformers of other companies.

As for the top-notch exclusive SSS-level treasure chest that only that champion can have, she never dreamed of it.

She still has a very B number of strength in her band.

Lu Ren didn't express his opinion after hearing this, but just nodded from time to time to indicate that he was listening carefully.

"I'll tell you a little bit more about the arrangement problems we're having right now." Jasmine said with a light sigh.

"You also know the song "Mermaid", which is a song announced by the Lu Foundation, with only lyrics and no arrangement. Over the years, everyone has heard it many times. We wanted to perform a different mermaid for our mentor, but the melody and lyrics of the original song were excellent, and there was not much room for adaptation, so we wanted to start from an arrangement perspective. ”

Lu Ren nodded: "The popular arrangements of "Mermaid" on the market now are indeed very ordinary. ”

Among the three parts of lyrics and arrangements in pop song production, the arrangement part is often the most overlooked, but the role of arrangement is not necessarily lower than that of lyrics.

It's just that most listeners are so accustomed to listening to the vocals and reading the lyrics that they will habitually ignore the arrangement.

But if there is no arrangement, which is the so-called dry sound in the industry, the vast majority of listeners will not be able to listen to it.

Lyrics and music are like a person's appearance and temperament, and arrangement is like dressing this person, and different clothes can match different feelings.

In order to achieve the best arrangement, the arranger must fully communicate with the composer and lyricist, and it is possible to make a natural first-class arrangement after repeated polishing.

Now, thousands of years later, when the arranger can't get in touch with the original songwriter, the quality of the arrangement of "The Mermaid" is naturally average.

"Our original idea was to do a prelude kill, a prelude kill, you know? But after trying, we still gave up, it was too difficult. ”

Lu Ren nodded in understanding, and at the same time silently complained in his heart that he suddenly spoke with a national teacher's flavor.

"So I don't expect you to make a prelude, after all, a gold medal arranger doesn't necessarily do it. I just want it to be a little bit interesting, you know? ”

Lu Ren echoed: "Prelude killing is indeed quite difficult in the arrangement, not only the quality of the melody itself needs to meet the standard, but also the core of the melody motive from the composer's side. But "The Mermaid" was originally a song from a thousand years ago, so..."

"It's okay, you just do your best." Jasmine thought she guessed what Lu Ren meant, and asked him not to have too much pressure.

After hearing Jasmine say that he would do his best, Lu Ren didn't say anything, just hummed.

The two walked side by side into the hotel, into the luxurious and bright hotel lobby, and then took the elevator, Jasmine pressed down to the 13th floor.

The 13th floor is where their band is located, and there is a rehearsal room specially arranged for them.

During the elevator ascent, Jasmine reminded in a very serious tone:

"Let's state again, the Sanhua Cat Band all like the younger sister to come together, and the stage names of the four of us all come from the younger sister's songs, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we are the brainless fans of the younger sister.

"The biggest wish to participate in "Discover the True Star" this time is to meet our young sister, if you are selected by your younger sister again, it will really be a dream come true."

Speaking of this, Jasmine tilted her head slightly and made a look of closed eyes and intoxication.

Sister?

Lu Ren heard this idol title full of local flavor for the first time, and felt that this title was quite down-to-earth and smooth.

If you participate in The Voice and are selected by Jay Chou, you will indeed be very excited.

After indulging in daydreaming for three seconds, she opened her eyes suddenly, turned her head and said to Lu Ren, pretending to be murderous:

"So, even if you don't like our sister, please don't say it in public again, otherwise Lan Lian's violent temper can't help but quarrel with you."

He nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I'll pay attention." ”

Idol, he understands it too well.

Generally speaking, according to his experience in the entertainment industry in his previous life, the degree of brain-dead fans is inversely proportional to the strength of idols.

The more the idol has no real ability, the more brainless the corresponding fans are, otherwise they will find that the idol they are chasing hard is, and the most important thing is that they still ate so deliciously before...

However, he guessed that this young girl should have some real skills.

After all, same-sex rejection, it is difficult for female idols to attract female fans technically.

Especially these female fans who do bands, their requirements for the technical ability of idols are definitely much higher than those of ordinary passers-by.

Jasmine's words about the three-flowered cat reminded him of some of the situation of the three-flowered cat band.

There are four members in the Sanhua Cat Band, and the original lead singer No. 3 stage name is Persian Meow, and the impression is that it is transformed according to the cat's ear girl.

The stage image is black silk thin mesh stockings, and the cat's tail and cat ears will move and move with the rhythm, which is spicy, sweet and hilarious.

The guitarist is Jasmine, the bassist is Lilac, and the keyboardist and drummer is Blue Lotus.

Three flowers and a cat are the Three Flowers Cat Band.

According to Lu Ren's current understanding, this band is a standard god play team, the kind where one god leads three pits.

One god is the Persian meow, and the audition fans voted for her.

The remaining three, if they are not in the band, it is estimated that they will not be able to pass the first round of auditions, which is about the same as the original Fei'er band.

It is no wonder that after Persian Meow withdrew, the company directly chose to put a bad strategy, not only to just wave the bad traffic, but also to prepare to let Persian Meow fly solo.

Coming out of the elevator, I stepped on the clean and dust-free red carpet all the way to a rehearsal room.

When you open the door, you will see drums, bass, arrangement, large practice mirrors, sponge sound-absorbing walls and other standard items in the band's rehearsal room.

I soon saw two girls in the rehearsal room, one with a striking double ponytail, and the other with short hair, but a bulging chest.

"I won't introduce too much, Blue Lotus, Lilac."

Lu Ren remembered when he saw people.

To put it simply, lilac, jasmine, and blue lotus correspond to BCD.

Lilac is a girl with a double ponytail, not tall, and is the bassist of the band.

Lan Lian is in charge of the keyboard and the drummer at the same time, because she has made a mechanical arm addition and transformation, with two mechanical arms behind her back, four hands can naturally press the keyboard and play the drum at the same time.

"Uh-huh, Spider Girl." Lu Ren silently took a small nickname.

As for Lilac, it has also been transformed, but in the head, I heard that it has strengthened the perception of musical rhythm, which is equivalent to enhancing the talent of bass playing.

However, the remodeling surgery was not very successful, and there were sequelae, and the reaction would often be half a beat slower.

When she heard Jasmine say that she asked Lu Ren to intervene in the arrangement, Lan Lian had an obvious impatient expression on her face.

But she still gave way of the position: "The arranger is here, you try it as soon as possible, we are running out of time." ”

Lu Ren was not polite, he sat directly in front of the arranger, put on his headphones, and then-

Quietly switch to [JJ Lin] mode in my head.

After confirming that Lu Ren was wearing headphones, Lan Lian leaned on the edge of the arranger's table, strangled her chest with her hands, turned her back to Lu Ren, and said irritably:

"Jasmine, in fact, you don't need to find Lu Ren to arrange the music, I just found a trainee, he happens to be a silver medal arranger, and promised to help us rearrange this song, although it can't do the prelude kill you want, but it's barely enough. Let's focus on rehearsals, okay? ”

Jasmine shook her head and refused: "Blue Lotus, Lu Ren is also part of our band, and he happens to be able to arrange a little music, so he can give it a try." ”

After speaking, she added: "It can't be that just because he just gave me the lead singer, we will kick people away immediately." ”

Lilac, who reacted slowly for half a beat, said in surprise: "Silver medal arranger, I heard that they make up at least 30,000 songs, Lanlian, you are treating yourself, don't let us AA, I'm poor....."

After speaking, he raised his fingers and calculated how much money he could AA this time, and the more he calculated, the more uncomfortable his expression became, and he was about to cry.

Knowing that Lilac can't keep up with the rhythm of chatting every day, Lan Lian is not ready to explain to Lilac that she spent a lot of money to ask someone to expedite the arrangement.

She argued, "I didn't let you kick him away." It's just that the silver medal arranger I invited said that he couldn't do it, and he Lu Ren is a bastard composer who hasn't turned regular in the company for more than half a year. The only song that has been developed publicly is the kind of earthy square dance song that uncles and aunts listen to, how can it be possible to make up a prelude to kill? Isn't that a waste of our time? ”

"But..."

Just when Jasmine was dumbfounded by Lilac's words, Lu Ren's voice came from the position of the arranger's table.

Because Lu Ren brought monitoring headphones with excellent sound insulation, he spoke much louder than normal at this time.

"My suggestion is to use a blues harmonica in the prelude to this arrangement to simulate the inspiration of the sea and the air.

"Then it was appropriate to add the sound of the waves, but this wave sound was not sampled correctly, the tone was too thin, so I chose a new one.

"In addition, the sound of the waves is not enough to make people think of the sea, so I will add the whistle of the ship, and the ship and the sea will create a more detailed picture in the brain. And the sound of the ship's whistle often means parting and sailing, or even never seeing each other again, which fits the theme of the lyrics.

"And after the prelude melody enters, I will add a little guzheng to the low frequency, there is a lingering feeling of resentment, hey, there is no guzheng, forget it, then I'll try other sound effects......."

.......

Lu Ren seemed to be explaining to himself, while skillfully dragging the corresponding orchestration sound effects into the audio track.

The three flower girls next to her couldn't hear the sound effect of the specific arrangement, but they were all stunned when they saw the speed of Lu Ren's operation at this time!

In Jasmine's eyes, Lu Ren's selection of orchestrations and adjustment of the track was too fast, it didn't look like he was making an impromptu arrangement at all, but it seemed that he had already conceived all of this, and all of this was just a matter of having hands.

She thought of when she was learning to arrange music as a beginner -

Well, this drum has a good sound, add it and try it, well, it doesn't match, it's ugly.

Eh, isn't it time to add a guitar to this, I'll try, well, no, it's ugly.

Take a look at the sample library,Listen to a few random sound effects.,Hey, this is good.,Collectiture,Can be used in another song....

After walking around the sample library for more than an hour, the arrangement still did not progress.

Oops, it's so hard, I'll see if there's a ready-made arrangement to 'borrow' from it.

After ten minutes of reference, listen to it -

I'm a piece of rubbish, and I copy it so badly.....

Compared with Lu Ren's arrangement speed at this time, they only felt that it was faster than them copying and arranging.

They don't even think about it,

At this time, Lu Ren is basically equal to the composer's possession, and he basically presents the original arrangement of the mermaid one-to-one.

Even if this song was not composed by Lin Junjie himself, as a singer, these arrangements must have been heard countless times in the first time, and even participated in some of the arrangements, but they were not signed.

Like Chou Dong, he has such a serious original cleanliness habit, as long as he doesn't complete it all by himself, he generally doesn't sign it.

For example, the arrangement framework and strings of "Chapter 7 of the Night" are basically written about the same, and Zhong Xingmin wants to add the typewriter sound of the prelude to render a sense of suspense and fine-tune some details of the idea.

As long as you are a singer who is responsible for your work, the memory of the arrangement must be in your head.

But it's not enough to copy the same arrangement as the original.

Lu Ren clearly remembers that the prelude to Jay Chou's "Mermaid" has a timbre sample of whale chirping, which can be said to be the genius of the whole song.

He searched for the word 'whale' in the sample library of the arrangement software.

At the same time, I switched to [Jay Chou] again, listened to several quick auditions, and finally found the whale cry that was closest to the prelude to the weekly version of "The Mermaid".

Then I dragged it into the prelude track of JJ Lin's version of "The Mermaid", adjusted the fade time, and explored little by little to find the point that was most integrated with the original arrangement.

After finding that sweet spot, Lu Ren left the keyboard with both hands.

"Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and listen again."

Lu Ren confidently asked the three flowers to wear wireless monitoring headphones, and asked them to close their eyes and listen to the arrangement of "The Mermaid".

The reason why I close my eyes and listen is to turn off the visual information.

When the brain only receives sound information, it makes it easier to immerse itself in the imagination space brought by sound.

Jasmine was a little distracted before putting on the headphones, thinking that it had only been less than ten minutes, and you would be fine?

With such a short time, the quality must not be high, right?

however

As Lu Ren clicks to start playing,

A sad whale chirp came from the earphones, this whale chirping was melodious and clear, but with a few wisps of unspeakable sadness, which shook her all at once.

Then with a few whale chirps in quick succession, her goosebumps rose all over her body

Immediately afterward, the whistle of the steamer came from a distance, intertwined with the sound of whale chirping, and became farther and farther away in the ears, and seemed to slowly disappear into the line between the sea and the sky

After that, the prelude melody officially appeared,

The guzheng that tugged at the heartstrings sounded,

She felt like she was sinking into the depths of the ocean, falling little by little.

The sound of strings is like green hair,

Her long hair floated in the water, and her eyes were staring at the figure on the surface.

now

She's the mermaid who fell into the sea,

She stared at the figure wandering on the shore, was he really willing to jump off for himself?

waited for the voice to enter, and she suddenly woke up.

Prelude kill, this is really prelude kill!

Lu Ren really made a prelude kill!

She was really killed!

After listening to the whole song, she took off the headphones with some reluctance.

She doesn't know how many times she has listened to "Mermaid", but this time it actually gave her a sense of surprise when she listened to a new song.

Jasmine commented excitedly:

"Sad, poignant, deep, ethereal.

"The arrangement fits the melody and lyrics perfectly, without the noise and the overflow of electronic sound.

"It's a hard-to-listen arrangement that allows people to focus on the song and lyrics, and also allows people to notice the extra sound details when listening to the song repeatedly.

"Most importantly,

She wanted to emphasize it again:

"This arrangement really does the prelude kill!

"Lu Ren, I was really killed by you!

You're so good at arranging! ”

At this time, Lilac, who was wearing a double ponytail, seemed to have just finished listening to the song, and was not on the same timeline as everyone else, so she gave Lu Ren a thumbs up: "Lu Ren, this arrangement is the best version of all the "Mermaids" I have heard!" ”

Then she turned her head and asked Lan Lian: "By the way, Lan Lian, didn't you say that you would find a silver medal arranger to help us rearrange this song, why don't you release it and compare it?" You're spending money, and this is free. ”

Lu Ren smiled secretly after hearing this, he felt that this lilac was a little cute, not only did she react half a beat slowly, but she also spoke very straight, she didn't have so many flowers, she was a straight girl.

It's just a little silly.

The corners of Lan Lian's mouth twitched slightly, and then she looked into the air and asked, "When did I say this?" Are you mistaken? What a silver medal arranger, I don't know. There is only one person in the royal arrangement of our Sanhua Cat Band, and that is Lu Ren! ”

Lan Lian said categorically, especially Jasmine next to her who kept nodding in agreement.

She is actually agreeing that Lu Ren is the queen arranger of their Sanhua Cat Band.

The somewhat silly Lilac scratched the double ponytail on her head: "Well, since I modified my head, I feel that not only is my reaction half a beat slower, but my memory is not as good as before." ”

Seeing that the arrangement was unanimously approved by this group of young girls, Lu Ren was also very happy.

"You guys should use this arrangement to hurry up and rehearse, I still have something to go out for." He waved at the three flower girls and motioned for them to hurry up and rehearse.

"Ah, aren't you here to watch us rehearse?"

Jasmine inexplicably felt some loss.

It is really not necessary for the arranger to participate in the rehearsal of the band, and the audience will not give a standing ovation for the good arrangement.

Lu Ren smiled indifferently: "I know a little bit about arrangement, and my singing is really average, so I won't watch it, I want to go out for a walk." ”

If it weren't for Jasmine asking him to arrange the music, it is estimated that he would be almost at the Sansheng Pavilion at this moment.

When the show officially started, he would definitely not be so free.

So, now, at this moment, he doesn't want to delay for a second.

He was very anxious to see it.

Take a look at the Sansheng Pavilion of the same name a thousand years later.

Without further ado, Lu Ren walked out of the rehearsal room and walked out of the hotel.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance, Lu Ren walked firmly in the direction of Tashan step by step.

......

Street Diary 02: I'm a little struggling with my subject matter.

Let's say it's science fiction, the cool plot in the early stage is more urban entertainment style, it is the draft plus pure love pulling.

It's said that it's urban entertainment, copying songs and movies is just one of the main lines, and there is a loss of abilities and business war plots at the end.

But the story structure and ending are quite sci-fi.

The editor told me not to worry about the classification of the subject, and the garbage is garbage no matter where it is placed.
