235. When the album is in progress

"Boss, just say it directly, this amplification move, do you want to overturn the Chinese music scene?" Zheng Tao sharpened his knives, rubbed his fists, and said excitedly: "I have long seen that this circle is not pleasing to the eye, this song, can it be called a song, that's!" ”

Well?

This sentence sounds familiar!

Brother Tao, you also crossed over, right?

As soon as Zheng Tao finished speaking, Liu Bo also coaxed:

"Not really."

"I won't talk about anything else, let's just say that the newcomer of the year, Zhou Yu, released another single after "My Future Is Not a Dream", which is simply unlistenable. The lyrics are also very naΓ―ve, and I don't even dare to imagine that this is last year's rookie king of the year. ”

Xu Yi did not pick up.

This kind of thing attacking the music world should be done by music critics.

He is still a budding singer, a budding singer who is preparing to release his first album, how can he criticize this circle?

After the singer finished complaining, Xu Yi said:

"Okay, let's not discuss the music world for now."

"Let's just do our own thing, I just had a break these days, and I wrote a few songs by the way. You take it first and look for it, and find out how it feels, this time in the arrangement, some traditional folk instruments may be used. ”

While speaking, Xu Yi handed over the words of "East Wind Breaking".

Although he has gained singing skills, he has not gained the ability to write songs, so Guan Yun still needs to be out of the song.

Liu Bo took the manuscript and read it carefully.

After finishing the matter, he raised his head with some doubts:

"Boss, this song is a bit like a word."

"Brother Bo, what are you talking about, the lyrics are not like words, is it still like a song?" Zheng Tao snatched the manuscript, "I'll take a look, what's going on." ”

Just listen to Liu Bo continue:

"I mean, like the old old ones."

"Choose words to form sentences, there is that kind of artistic conception."

"I've tried to write this kind of words before, but I haven't practiced it. It seems that there are no singers in the circle who sing this kind of word. ”

Soon, Zheng Tao also finished reading the words of "East Wind Breaking".

Like Liu Bo, his brows furrowed slightly, "It's a new thing, boss, what do you think?" ”

This kind of half-archaic way of writing is not untried.

But without exception, either because the music is not good, it can't be matched, or because the words themselves are obscure, almost all hit the street.

Therefore, Zheng Tao and Liu Bo frowned worriedly.

With their understanding of Xu Yi, Xu Yi's shot is naturally the guarantee of the golden song.

But if you want to play something new, no one knows the bottom of your heart.

Seeing the same expressions of the two, Xu Yi smiled and said:

"You're right, it's a new thing."

"Huaxia style."

"At present, the pop music in the entertainment industry is almost the same as the three axes, and most of the experience is learned from the island country. I wonder if it is possible to create a style, a style that belongs to our original Chinese music. ”

Create a new style!

These words frightened Zheng Tao, Guan Yun, and Liu Bo.

They make music, but they are just begging for a bowl of food, but they never dare to say that they started a sect!

The boss's ambition is too big, right?

For a while, the three of them were a little nervous and a little excited.

Once this thing is done, I am afraid that the three of them will also leave their names in the history books of the Chinese music scene!

"Boss, say it, do whatever you want, we will listen to you!"

Xu Yi thought for a while and said, "In this way, let's go to the recording studio today, and I'll sing the overall feeling first." Then you have to polish it slowly, and most importantly, the soundtrack has to be done with our own instruments. What flute, erhu, guzheng, xylophone, etc., Western musical instruments can be used as auxiliaries interspersed. ”

Zheng Tao and others naturally have no opinion.

I have collaborated with Xu Yi on several songs, everyone has experience, and if you do what Xu Yi says, there will definitely be no problems.

On the contrary, the results will be amazing.

Xu Yibao's recording studio is in Xizhimen, turn around from Xidan, and there are about two traffic lights. He hadn't bought a car yet, so a group of four had to take a taxi. This also made Zheng Tao complain.

"Boss, you live in a courtyard, can't you buy yourself a car?"

"I've been busy, I've forgotten about it."

"Just leave this matter to Sister Tangerine, she will definitely handle it carefully for you."

"No, I'll choose the car by myself."

If you buy other things, Xu Yi will let Fat Tangerine do it, it doesn't matter.

However, the car is a man's second pair of feet, and Xu Yi must choose it himself.

At about half past ten in the morning, everyone arrived at the recording studio.

There are those in Beijing who specialize in this kind of leasing business, and they are generally rented on a per-time basis. However, Xu Yi wanted to record the whole album, and I was afraid that he would use more of it in the studio, so he simply rented it for a month.

Before entering the door, Zheng Tao and a few others exclaimed:

"I'll be a good girl!"

"I'm afraid this equipment is not the same as the professional recording studio of Yixiu Media."

"I look at it, oh ho, it's all imported brand goods."

"Boss, isn't it cheap to rent here for a month?"

Xu Yi didn't hide it, put up two fingers, and said, "Fortunately, I rented it through a friend's relationship, and it only cost 200,000 yuan." ”

This price, of course, is not cheap.

But for a professional recording studio, 200,000 yuan a month is not too expensive.

When Zheng Tao and others heard this, they immediately felt pressure:

"Before this was produced, 200,000 yuan was smashed in."

"Let's do a good job of singing, or we'll all be sorry for the studio that the boss rented."

Xu Yi laughed and said, "Don't be stressed. How we got it before, how do we do it now, it's business as usual. ”

Originally, Zheng Tao and the others were called over the capital to facilitate communication.

Xu Yilao had to have an online meeting with them.

After everyone got a little started with the equipment, Zheng Tao said:

"Boss, let's get started."

Xu Yi nodded: "Old rules, please turn your body around." ”

Then brew a little, and then open your voice directly.

"A light of sorrow, standing alone in the window"

"I'm behind the door, pretending you're not gone"

"The old land is like a revisit, and the full moon is more lonely"

"The candle flame that wakes up in the middle of the night can't bear to criticize me"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Who is playing with the lute, a song of the east wind breaks"

"The years peel off on the wall, see when you were a child"

"I still remember when we were all very young"

"And now the sound of the piano is faint, you haven't heard my waiting"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xu Yiqing finished singing.

Zheng Tao and a few people turned around as soon as possible, everyone was the first time they had seen this kind of music, and they couldn't help but be a little curious: "Boss, is this the Chinese style?" ”

"Strictly speaking, it is possible to become a Chinese style only when Brother Tao finishes arranging the music and adding instruments and harmonies."

Guan Yun was about to start work immediately: "Okay, start working." ”

Only Liu Bo was sad:

"Then I'll copy the boss's words?"

For a long time, Xu Yi has been singing and recording songs, and Liu Bo's sense of existence is very low. Originally, when he changed jobs, Liu Bo didn't think about coming over, but Xu Yi tried his best to invite, so he came hard.

It's just that in front of Xu Yi, his lyrics are not useful at all.

Because Xu Yi's own words are already irreversible, they are perfect.

Xu Yi saw Liu Bo's demeanor and said with a smile:

"Bogo, cheer up."

"You don't have to write lyrics for me, but if the studio signs other singers in the future, you have to write them for them!"

"Okay Bobo, don't be like a." Zheng Tao pushed Liu Bo, and then said to Xu Yi: "Boss, as you said before, you want to add some traditional instruments to the arrangement of this song, right?" ”

"That's right."

Xu Yi nodded and emphasized: "I think the traditional musical instrument is the finishing touch of this song, for example, the beginning of the word is written as a window, is there a sound of opening a window?" Of course, I'm just giving an example, and you still need to figure out what this poem is trying to express, and then look at it. ”

"I see."

Zheng Tao thoughtfully: "This workload may not be small, boss, we are working here today." ”

Xu Yi didn't mind, anyway, the recording studio was rented for a month, and it was right to use it as Zheng Tao's temporary office.

After a few words, he left the studio.

This recording of the album is the first thing Xu Yi has tried.

So he didn't shake out all ten songs in one go, but took one hand out first, and asked Zheng Tao to make it to see if it was similar to the feeling in his memory, and only when Xu Yi's requirements were met, Xu Yi would record the next songs.

Fat Tangerine's side has already docked with Liu Guoping.

The quotation was also handed over, the cost of the production consultant is 1 million, and the domestic copyright fee of the program is 20 million, for a total of 21 million.

This price is a conscience price.

According to Xu Yi's estimate, when the process on the main station is completed, the program will officially enter the preparatory stage, and it is estimated that it will take a few days. As for the recording time of the show, it is estimated that it will be a month later.

After all, it is necessary to attract investment, auditions in the preliminaries in various places, and the contestants who enter the audition can stand on the stage of the program recording.

The crew of "Operation Red Sea" has also ended location filming and began to transfer to China to shoot other plots. Xu Yi is also familiar with this part of the plot, there are not many shots of him and Li Xun, just take the time to go over and make up for it.

So after all, the last finale was actually not really completed.

Everything was moving forward step by step, and Xu Yi only felt an unprecedented smooth sail.

Is this the protagonist's aura?

Xu Yi in the previous life, at most he was a passerby, not to mention smooth sailing, sometimes the wind and rain came, and he couldn't even find a canopy, so he could only continue to walk forward in the rain.

went downstairs, Xu Yi didn't stop the car to go home immediately.

Instead, take a leisurely stroll.

He likes this tone very much, he is no longer tied by the status of a star, like an ordinary person, pressing the road and looking at this ancient city.

Walking east from Xizhimen, there is a bustling street.

The famous Xidan is in that area.

"I'm going to go shopping today, eat snacks, and order all the oden spicy hot grilled squid." Xu Yi made up his mind and went directly to Xidan.

It's not the weekend, but there are a lot of people on the streets.

After only a few steps, Xu Yi heard a burst of singing from the street.

He looked in the direction of the singing, and saw a lot of people gathered in front of him.

Street performers!

Let's go, go and see the excitement.

Xu Yi also squeezed into the crowd, still holding freshly grilled squid skewers in his hand, and in the center of the crowd, there was a girl with shoulder-length short hair, holding an acoustic guitar, standing in front of the microphone, playing and singing to herself.

Xu Yi has never heard this song.

In fact, Xu Yi doesn't listen to much pop music in this world.

But......

This girl sings well, and her voice has a faint melancholy, which belongs to the kind of sorrow that belongs to the streets.

One song is over.

Some people stepped forward and threw a ten-dollar ticket into the girl's guitar case, and some voted five or fifty dollars. Of course, there are 100 dollar bills, but not many. This kind of street singing, as long as the singing is not bad, it is basically no problem to earn a living expenses.

But if you want to get rich, then don't think about it.

After all, there has been no live broadcast this year, and there is no big brother on the list to spend a lot of money.

Xu Yi took out his pocket, followed suit, and put a hundred into it.

"Thank you~"

"Thank you."

"Next, I would like to bring you a song that I like very much."

"It's the queen Li Fei's "Red Beans"

Li Fei? Xu Yi's face appeared in Xu Yi's mind, hmm...... I haven't been in touch with Li Fei for a long time. The last time I was contacted, Xu Yi wrote "Red Beans" to Li Fei, but I didn't expect to hear this song on a street singer today.

The girl adjusted the height of the sheet music on the shelf.

Then I started playing the guitar.

She is a pure guitar accompaniment, and there is no other accompaniment, so the sound is more pure.

"I haven't really felt the snowflakes yet"

"When we tremble together, we will understand better what gentleness is"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xu Yi could hear that this girl was deliberately imitating Li Fei's singing.

It's just that the timbre of the two people is quite different, Li Fei belongs to the kind of 'natural sound', and the girl in front of her is a bit like singing folk songs. In fact, the repertoire of many street singers is folk songs.

It has been said that pop music listens to melodies, while folk music listens to stories.

That's why there are so many wandering singers, carrying a guitar on their backs and a ballad to go around the world.

But one thing to say, this girl sings well.

Xu Yi finished eating the squid skewers in his hand, threw the wooden skewers into the garbage basket, and then took out another hundred and put them in the guitar box.

"Thank you, thank you big brother!"

"Thank you~"

Probably the girl also recognized Xu Yi, who was the eldest brother who rewarded 100 yuan for the last song, so she thanked Xu Yi very solemnly. Xu Yi didn't care, but when he turned around, an abrupt thought flashed in his heart.

Isn't there a shortage of singers in your own studio?

A singer who has become famous, can't afford to sign it.

Those who were born in professional classes have also been taken over by major record companies.

If Xu Yi wants to sign a singer, he can only pick up the leaks.

And in front of him, isn't there a singer whose timbre and vocal range are okay?

Xu Yi turned around, walked up to the girl, and then asked politely:

"Hello! I would like to ask, do you sign to a record label now? (End of chapter)
