Chapter 72: "In the Name of the Father" is here
"In the Name of the Father" is a very complicated song.
It doesn't mean how many instruments are in the accompaniment of this song, nor how big the vocal range of this song is, but the arrangement and harmony of this song are very particular.
If you are not a top team, you can't finish it.
Even in a formal music variety show like "Our Song", the band teachers are more powerful, and they can't record this song completely.
So Lin Xi had to ask Bailu to find a relationship and find the top recording team in China.
For example, in the extraordinary prelude, the first harmony requires a long series of words.
Although ordinary listeners may not care about these at all, and they can't understand what this long paragraph of Yili is about, it is an indispensable part of the overall temperament of this song.
It is actually difficult to find someone in the capital who is interested in broadcasting, and who specializes in broadcasting, or who has certain dubbing and broadcasting experience and skills.
It's hard to find, at least for a short time.
Fortunately, the team that Bai Lu is looking for is powerful enough and has great powers, and I heard that there is an opera troupe in the magic capital, and there is a singer who is good at bel canto.
So I hurriedly got in touch and invited me to the capital.
After an hour and a half of repeated rehearsals, the monologue of the intro was successfully dubbed.
This prelude is a soliloquy, which is also equivalent to a tone of the whole song, which roughly means: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Thy kingdom come, and thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors. Do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for all the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, are yours forever, amen.
In addition to the intro deliberately dull monologue, at the end of a chorus, there is also an operatic bel canto singing, also in Italian language.
Bel canto is more difficult for the average person, but this Italian singer is the best at it, and it took less than an hour to complete.
Thereupon.
Almost half a day ago, the whole team was helping Lin Xi record a prelude monologue and accompany the opera bel canto.
But.
This half-day grinding, excellence, and when the final product is revealed, everything is worth it.
Whether it was Bai Lu, or the members of the recording team, even the singer who was a fool of himself, listened to them several times after successfully collecting these two recordings.
Although there is no soundtrack for these two recordings, the style has gone up at once, and everyone has expressed their amazement.
Before this, they actually had a little opinion, thinking that Lin Xi's insistence on using a dull monologue was too demanding, or was it too weird?
Even if you record in Mandarin or English, wouldn't the effect be similar?
But now it seems that Lin Xi's attainments in music, as well as his unique understanding, are a real genius.
The aura in his mind is incomparable to ordinary people.
Before leaving, the singers shook hands with Lin Xi repeatedly, saying that they would have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.
The monologue and bel canto are recorded.
The next step is mainly to arrange.
The arrangement style of this song is really weird, the recording team that Bai Lu is looking for, as the top team in China, even if they have worked together I don't know how many times, whether it is rock, R&B, rap, they have experience.
But the style of "In the Name of the Father", they really saw it for the first time.
Unheard!
But this weird style, indescribably alternative, shocked them a lot, and even inspired a lot.
From the overall structure, "In the Name of the Father" is a four-to-four beat song, with a key of D minor and a small Andante tempo. A one-and-a-half-minute extra-long intro, in the style of film noir, saxophone, bass, guitar breakdown, and a drum kit slowly joins before moving on to the main song.
Compared to most songs with a chorus structure, the main song section of this song has three stanzas, each of which is eight bars, advancing layer by layer without repetition. Inside each main song, it is not a pure modulation, but there are ups and downs, and it sounds smooth.
How so?
According to the evaluation of the recording team, they feel that Lin Xi's song "In the Name of the Father" is actually not a simple rap.
In other words, it is completely different from all the raps at home and even abroad.
It's in a league of its own!
Totally his own style!
Although the whole song is rap as the main body, it is like a sponge, absorbing many other elements and the essence of various music, and then fusing them to create their own style of songs.
Before that, they had been in the industry for more than 20 years and had made dozens of albums, and they had never seen a song that was so integrated with polyphony, rap, bel canto, and moreover, a narrative song with a very strong religious atmosphere!
No matter how good Lin Xi's singing skills are.
But in terms of the production and style of this song, Lin Xi directly conquered the top recording team in China.
It took a day and a half, and after exerting all their strength and racking their brains, the recording team finally barely met Lin Xi's requirements and barely completed the arrangement and accompaniment.
Next.
It was Lin Xi who officially started recording songs.
Originally, everyone thought that this part would take the longest.
After all, in terms of lyrics and songs, Lin Xi is a professional.
He studied music production in college, which belongs to his profession.
And singing?
Still singing such a rap, for many professional singers, it is quite difficult, and it is difficult to control it perfectly without a few days of rehearsal.
Lin Xi, a 'layman', a 'newcomer' without any experience, can barely master it within a week, which is estimated to be good.
But what everyone in the recording team didn't expect was that when it came to recording the song, the result was much faster than the previous dubbing and arrangement!
It only took less than an hour for the whole song to be recorded!
Lin Xi's rap, where does he look like a newcomer, what a layman!
Chun Chun is a top rapper!
No, not the top.
It's a full-level rapper!
Or rather, the king of rap!
This rap skill is simply amazing!
"In the Name of the Father" is not one of those hardcore raps, and the speed of speech is not the top fast, but the rhythm generated by a large amount of flow is not easy to sing!
But when Lin Xi sang, it was extremely silky.
There were no pauses, it was just like a natural fit!
The most exaggerated thing is that even Lin Xi's voice, which is usually very hoarse when he speaks, seems to have received a buff bonus when he is rapping, and his timbre instantly becomes a lot better.
It's not magnetic, but it's also fascinating.
"Lin Xi, are you really not a professional rapper? Your singing skills and rap skills are like a ten-year old rap! ”
The boss of the recording team, named Xu Fengxiao, is also an old veteran in the music industry.
More than 20 years ago, he was a well-known folk singer, and after entering the new century, he gradually faded out of the entertainment circle and the music scene, and began to devote himself to the elite recording team, which was gradually cultivated into the largest recording studio in Beijing and one of the top teams in the country.
Brother Xiao praised it. When I'm usually fine, I practice rap once in a while. ”
Lin Xi said with a modest smile.
Xu Fengxiao shook her head and said, "Tut, the rappers in the rap circle on the Internet recently have a lot of hostility towards you. Many people have been broken by your previous Weibo, thinking that you are a mixed pop music circle, and the homepage is still a songwriter, and you dare to go wild in the rap circle, all calling you stinky brother, waiting to see you make a fool...... There's a good show to watch now. I'm eager to see how these rappers who have jumped out to baash you will feel when they hear this song "In the Name of the Father." ”
Lin Xi is also looking forward to it.
In the past few days, he has been in the recording studio, and he has no time to pay attention to Wang Xiaokai and others on the Internet.
But he still knows the general movement.
Because of the three songs "The Meaning of Travel", "It's Dark" and "You're Not Really Happy", his popularity has increased relatively quickly recently, and the prestige value of the system has exceeded 80 points, and the triple digit is in sight.
But at the same time, because of his relationship with Wang Xiaokai, he put down his cruel words to participate in the 'rap showdown' competition, and was constantly criticized by the rap circle.
Not only did several rappers jump out and tell him to 'don't come to the sidelines', but many fans in the rap circle ran to mock him under his meager face.
Although rap has always been unpopular, there is a miasma in the circle, and even all kinds of 'bad habits' are regarded as, and no culture is regarded as glory, and rebellion is regarded as an attitude.
But I have to say that singers and fans in the rap circle have always held themselves very high.
They always feel that they are superior to others, and they look down on the mixed pop music industry.
Those who listen to rap also look down on those who listen to pop music.
"Whatever. Originally, I just wanted to cure Wang Xiaokai's hard mouth, and at the same time make his group of brainless fans sober and sober, and stop being obsessed with their brother...... Now that so many rappers are jumping to stand up, I don't mind, set up a sign for the entire rap circle, and see what is a benchmark and what is a great rap. ”
Lin Xi said with interest.
"When are you going to release it? I'll go see the excitement when the time comes. Ha ha. Xu Fengxiao asked jokingly.
"Tonight at twelve o'clock in the morning, upload the Penguin music platform on time. I've already registered an account or something. said that it would be released in three days, so it can't be delayed. Lin Xi said.
"Ok, I'll help you forward Weibo when the time comes."
After the conversation, Lin Xi went to the recording studio next to him and took a look at Bai Lu's recording.
In the past few days, while Lin Xi is recording "In the Name of the Father", Bai Lu is also seizing the time to record her first new album after flying solo, and her time is much more urgent than Lin Xi.
"You're done recording?"
Bai Lu saw Lin Xi coming, and took advantage of the time to drink water and rest, and came out to inquire about the situation.
"It's over."
Lin Xi shook the finished CD in his hand.
"You're too fast." Bai Lu stuck out her tongue, she already knew that Lin Xi was a top 'genius' in rapping, obviously her voice was so poor, she was about to spark when she rapped like a machine gun.
As long as the arrangement and accompaniment are done, recording the song is much easier for Lin Xi.
It's her here, and she's still in the second song.
I guess I can get the second song done today.
Lin Xi said: "You record slowly, I'll withdraw first, I have to release it on the Penguin Music platform at night, go back and prepare." ”
Three days passed.
The scandal between the two can be regarded as gradually subsiding.
After all, anything can make a big splash on the Internet.
But all netizens are also the best at forgetting.
No matter how long it was, as long as no one mentioned it, the movement would stop in a few days, and few people remembered.
The scandal between Lin Xi and Bai Lu was originally refuted by the parties concerned, as well as the public relations of the new era company.
After three days, except for a small number of fans, almost no one discussed it anymore.
But.
In order to prevent secondary fermentation.
Although Lin Xi and Bai Lu have been recording in the same studio for the past few days, after recording, they went back to their respective hotels separately and did not eat or go shopping together.
Otherwise, if you are taken intimate photos by the paparazzi, you will inevitably be in trouble.
Bai Lu nodded and said, "I'll forward it for you that night?" ”
Lin Xi waved his hand and said, "Don't." If you forward it, you will inevitably be scolded by your agent. It was not easy to get back the login rights of your Weibo account, but it was taken back again. ”
Bai Lu pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Even if it ...... Even if it's just a friend, help forward a new song and hit the charts, what's not okay? ”
Lin Xi smiled and said with relief: "I don't need you to help me make the list." Now Wang Xiaokai and his fans, as well as the rappers in the rap circle who see me as unpleasant, have helped me make the heat high enough. I'm waiting to see my jokes! ”
"I guess as long as I release a new song and say it on the Internet, those rappers, as well as those rap fans, will spontaneously help me promote it. The heat in the early stage is completely sufficient. ”
Bai Lu knew that Lin Xi was talking about things.
In the past few days, it has not only been Wang Xiaokai, a rapper with attitude, and Lin Xi have made an appointment.
But it is about to develop into a small half of the rap circle, and it depends on Lin Xi's jokes.
For this reason, Bai Lu saw a lot of messages mocking Lin Xi, and often couldn't sleep at night, so she got up in the middle of the night and turned on the trumpet to connect with those rap fans who mocked Lin Xi.
After the development of the past few days, Bai Lu's trumpet has become a well-known 'Lin Xi iron fan' in Lin Xi's fan group.
The combat effectiveness is very strong, and all kinds of rainbow farts blow Lin Xi.
Sometimes it is blown, and some fans of Lin Xi feel that it is a bit exaggerated.
Let's be honest.
Lin Xi's own fans, most of them have little confidence in Lin Xi's new song rap, and they don't dare to talk back too much when they are ridiculed by rap fans.
Only when the other party attacks pop music and denies that the songs "It's Dark and Dark" written by Lin Xi are rubbish, they will greet each other's relatives.
It is very rare for someone like Bai Lu to be confident in Lin Xi's rap before the new song is released.
"Oh well. I didn't forward it that night, so I just ate melons. ”
Bai Lu nodded.
At the same time, I secretly thought in my heart, after three days of headwinds, I can finally play a tailwind game tonight!
Tonight, she is going to open the trumpet and kill all sides in Lin Xi's comment area to deter those black fans!
