In the capital, the winter afternoon sun is lazily swaying, reflecting a mottled shadow through the bedroom window.

The young man in the sunshine lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes tightly, played with his guitar, and sang a light song in his mouth.

When the singing stopped, Sun Yi opened his eyes with a happy smile on his face: "Yes, it's almost, it should work, all that's left is to find a recording studio to make it." ”

It's 05 now, not the time when all kinds of song-making software on the Internet are flying all over the world in the previous life. At that time, you could buy a set of equipment on the Internet, download a few software, and study it, and you could make a similar online song. Of course, if you want to be high-quality, you still have to go to a professional recording studio.

Sun Yi rummaged through the house where he could hide the small vault. In the end, plus the remaining pocket money in his hand, a total of more than 1,100 yuan.

"That's all, go try it." Sun Yi took all the money, put on his clothes and went out.

If you want to talk about the recording studio in Beijing, the most famous is of course "Hundred Flowers Recording Studio", which is written in online articles.

Of course, Sun Yi wanted to see this legendary place, the era of Chinese rock and roll, the depths of the hutongs, how many musicians had tossed music and dreams here in those years, and there were successes and failures. It's a place full of stories.

"No. 16 Baihuashen Hutong in Xinjiekou" is the address of Baihua Recording Studio, Sun Yi stopped at the mouth of the Hutong and looked at the ordinary Beijing Hutong in front of him. Slightly disappointed, he sighed in his heart: "It's better to be famous than to meet." ”

Then he walked into the alley, humming "..... as he walked People say that in the depths of the land of flowers, there lives an old lover, sewing embroidered shoes....."

Not to mention, this drama still has a little flavor.

After a while, Sun Yi stood at the door of Baihua Recording Studio, with a shocked face, "What, 200 an hour, you have to bring your own accompaniment, and the recording engineer has to watch the studio separately?" I'll go, it's so dark!"

Sun Yi's musical path seems to be full of ups and downs.

Sun Yi calculated in his heart that renting a recording studio is 200 an hour, and the smallest, and the recording engineer watches the studio for 100 an hour, which is the cheapest. Accompaniment I can play the simplest guitar accompaniment, that is to say, I have only 3 hours of time.

The previous generation of Sun Ziyi had never recorded a song, and if he didn't finish it, the 900 yuan would be wasted. It's so dark.

Sun Yi is hesitating whether to fight for his character, in case it will be recorded in 3 hours. Suddenly, a hand slapped on his shoulder, "Record a song?" Dude, I have a shed there, professional. ”

Sun Yi turned his head to look, a middle-aged man in his 30s, dressed in leather clothes and leather pants, with a sallow face, and the dark circles under his eyes were about to catch up with the eye shadow.

"It's really fake, you don't look like that." Sun Yi wondered.

The man in front of him took a puff of cigarette and frowned and said to Sun Yi, "Hiss... Phew, brother, I'm a little back this time, there is really a shed, not far, just turn a corner in front, no, you follow me to see. ”

Sun Yi thought about it for a while, in broad daylight, there are a lot of pedestrians coming and going in this Baihua Hutong, anyway, it's not far, it's okay to go over and take a look. I simply agreed.

It is indeed not far, walked for less than 10 minutes, turned a corner to arrive, a small courtyard, there is a patio in the middle of the yard, around the courtyard on three sides is 3 bungalows, the whole pattern of a small quadrangle. The recording studio is the east room, walk in and take a look, it is very clean, the layout is very professional, and the equipment looks good, which is in stark contrast to the whole somewhat dilapidated courtyard.

"What's the matter, brother, I didn't lie to you, the equipment that is less than 3 years old is no worse than Baihua's." Returning to his own turf, the man seemed to have found confidence, and most of the sadness on his face was reduced.

"Well, you really didn't lie to me, and it looks quite professional, so what do you say about the specific price?" Sun Yi felt that this place was quite reliable, so he asked about the price.

The man walked back to the yard, lit another cigarette, looked at Sun Yi and said, "I don't have any problems with the equipment here, it's just that the place is a little off, I'll give you 100 points, if you need me to show you the shed....."

Speaking of this, the man stopped, took a puff of his cigarette and said: "Hey, I don't have anything to do anyway, I'm idle and idle, so, brother, you just say what you think, how do you want to record it, I'll give you a fixed price, don't you think?" ”

Sun Yi thought it was good, this was a private order, and then said: "I'm going to record a song for the competition, I have the song, but there is no accompaniment, uh, there is no score." ”

After listening to Sun Yi's words, the man smacked his mouth and scratched his chicken nest head, thought about it for a while, and replied: "In this way, brother, my surname is Wang, you have to look up and call Brother Wang." Let's make a friend today, I'll give you a number, 1,000 yuan, I'll make it for you if I don't have a score, and I'll get you the accompaniment of the instruments I have here. Let's record for 5 hours, no matter how long it is, you can't sing, at this price, you can inquire all over the capital, there is no such price. ”

After hearing this, Sun Yi was very happy, and immediately agreed, "Then thank you Brother Wang, this is 1000 whole, please take care of this matter today, brother." ”

The man took the money, extinguished the cigarette butt, and said, "Cheng, then let's open it now." He turned around and went into the studio. Sun Yi also followed.

Brother Wang first asked Sun Yi to play "Down the Mountain" on the guitar, and after listening to it, he thought it was pretty good, and then began to follow Sun Yi's rhythm.

Sun Yi just loved singing in his previous life, and his voice was not bad, so he was a bit talented, so he could be regarded as a senior KTV player. He hasn't learned the score, he won't know it at all, thanks to knowing this Brother Wang, don't look at this person's sloppy appearance, the level is leveraged, and he played it twice completely, and the score was formed. Sun Yi was quite surprised, this level would not be mixed like this.

After making the score, the two began to study the accompaniment. Sun Yi expressed his thoughts on the instrument, and Brother Wang supplemented and modified it according to his own experience and expertise, and then used the piano to arrange the accompaniment. I was busy for nearly 2 hours, and the accompaniment was done, and I almost started recording.

The two paused for a moment, walked into the next room, sat on the sofa and drank tea, resting and adjusting their state.

Sun Yi was very curious about this brother Wang, so he simply chatted.

Chatting and learning that Brother Wang's name is Wang Jingtian, just 30 this year, graduated from alto, mixed for 5.6 years, and is a well-known music producer in the circle. As a result, it was unsurprising that he pounced and owed a lot of debt. The family house was sold, and thanks to the help of friends, the recording studio was kept.

It's a common thing in rock circles. However, most people pounced, and immediately rushed to the field to earn the money back. Wang Jingtian didn't like it. If there is no good music, he won't sing, he will rely on the recording studio to eat, and he will not record the garbage he sings.

This is a person who has faith and principles in music, and Sun Yi thinks so of Wang Jingtian.

After a break, the two began to officially record songs.

At the beginning, Sun Yilu stumbled, but under the guidance of Brother Wang, he gradually got better.

Wang Jingtian has very high requirements for music, almost grinding sentence by sentence. Thanks to Sun Yi's talent, it's not bad. The comprehension skills are also very strong. Otherwise, both of them will go crazy.

It was getting dark, and there was a burst of singing in the studio.

Sun Yi was standing in front of Mike, softly singing "... Goodbye, Father......"

"Ok, perfect, done." Wang Jingtian shouted excitedly.

After more than 5 hours of hard work, Sun Yi's "Down the Mountain" was finally recorded.

Seeing that it was getting late, Sun Yi took Brother Wang to a nearby restaurant, had a simple meal, and chatted about the copyright of the song. Wang Jingtian knew very well, patted his chest and asked Sun Yi to come to him tomorrow morning and take him to register the copyright together.

After eating, before leaving, Wang Jingtian also said to Sun Yi regretfully: "Brother, your song can only be recorded like this at present, if you want to do it according to your mind, we have to find a female chorus and add a set of instruments." But now this version is also enough, not bad. ”

Sun Yi nodded approvingly, and replied: "Thank you Brother Wang so much today, when I have time for a while, I will make an appointment with Brother Wang, and we will make up the rest, the current version is enough for me." Then, Brother Wang, we'll see you tomorrow. ”

"Okay, brother, go slowly." Wang Jingtian turned back to his recording studio.

Sun Yi recorded a song for a day, and when he got home, he fell asleep.

As for this life, whether this song "Down the Mountain" can still be selected by the Fantasy Journey to the West, he doesn't know, it depends on the sky.
