Chapter 33 Down
Quiet Rain Breeze Studio.
Listening to the song of the cicadas in the recording studio, it is ethereal, beautiful and clear, like a gurgling spring in the mountains, and like the evening breeze in the evening bay, with a quiet monologue artistic conception.
Ji Yuwei wore headphones, closed his eyes, and listened fascinated.
This old classmate of hers really has a natural voice, voice, singing, pitch, etc., all of which are mastered to the pinnacle of perfection, without any flaws, and can be called a natural singer.
After singing it again, the musicians of the band applauded, and Ji Yuwei also took off the headphones and gave a thumbs up to Xia Tingcicada.
However, after Xia Tingcicada put down the headphones, he frowned lightly and looked at him calmly.
Ji Yu was slightly surprised and asked, "Listen to the cicada, what's wrong, are you dissatisfied with this time just now?"
"Hmm. Xia Tingcicada nodded slightly.
"What's wrong? I was in the headphones just now, and it all listened very well, everything was perfect. "The rainy season is still puzzled.
Xia Tingcicada shook his head, "I can't say it, I just feel that something is wrong." ”
Ji Yuwei looked at Xia Tingcicada with a serious expression, and his brows furrowed.
Instead of arguing with Xia Tingcicada, she picked up the headphones, closed her eyes, and listened to the audio she had just recorded again.
The first time, I still didn't find any problems.
When she pushed the play button, pushed it back, and listened to it again, she finally felt it.
She put down her headphones and said: "The feelings are not right, although you have invested in the feelings and sang very delicately, but the overall tone is still slightly different from the lyrics and the artistic conception of the song itself." ”
"Especially in the second stanza, the chorus, the lyrics are the same as the first stanza, but the tune is a little clearer, which makes people sound a little less depressed and a little more withdrawn. ”
"You just pull away from this part and don't fully grasp it. ”
Xia Tingcicada nodded, "Yes, it's here." ”
She herself came back to it.
"Shall we do it again, then?"
"Good. ”
The second pass recording begins.
But this time, before the chorus part of the second stanza was sung, Xia Tingcicada stopped.
It doesn't feel right.
If it's not right, it won't work.
Recording records in the studio is different from singing in a concert, and some small mistakes are allowed in concerts or other music scenes, which is inevitable for even a strong singer.
But the recording studio is different, and perfection must be pursued here, and there can be no room for a flaw, otherwise the quality of the songs and records will not improve.
For a high-level singer like Xia Tingciao, the record must not be sloppy.
Otherwise, the saliva from those big V music critics with sharp ears, as well as some dissidents in the music industry, can drown you out.
The most important thing is that Xia Tingcicada is also very strict with himself.
A song may not be a good song, but the quality of the song must be as perfect as possible.
"Listen to the cicadas, take a rest first, and we'll record it later. Ji Yu slightly proposed.
"Good. Xia Tingcia agreed.
Xiao Ai hurriedly stepped forward and handed the prepared water to Xia Tingcicada.
Xia listened to the cicada drink water and sat down on the small sofa in the lounge.
After closing her eyes and resting for a while, she suddenly took out her mobile phone and found the video that Liu Jie forwarded to her, Xiao Chu singing in Su Ye Bar.
In the dim scene, with the quietly fluttering rotating lights, Xiao Chu sat on the stage with a guitar and sang slowly.
The sad eyes, the hoarse voice, the gloomy and vicissitudes of life, coupled with the melody, are like a lost sand gull, flying alone in the dark and vast sky.
Dazed, confused, and alone......
Xia listened to the cicadas and watched them over and over again.
Xiao Ai didn't dare to disturb her, and waited quietly at the side.
Half an hour later, Xia Tingcicada came out of the lounge and recorded it again.
It still doesn't feel right.
In the afternoon, I recorded it twice, but it still didn't work.
Ji Yuwei said: "Listen to the cicada, let's get here today first, and then record it tomorrow." There are very few singers who can complete the song on the first day of recording, and it usually takes several days to find the best state. ”
Xia Tingcia did not object, and said with his head bowed: "Okay, I'll record it tomorrow." ”
He said to Xiao Ai again: "Xiao Ai, you can take a taxi back by yourself, I will go out for a walk alone." ”
Xiao Ai knew that Xia Tingcia was in a bad mood, and she didn't object, so she nodded, "Well, Sister Cicada be careful on the road, I'll go back first, and if you have something, you will detain me." ”
Then Xia Tingcicada was alone, drove a BMW 530, and went out for a ride.
She got on the elevated highway first, and it was not yet the evening rush hour, and there were not many cars on the elevated highway, but in the end, the speed limit was not enough to enjoy it.
She drove to the Bund again and stayed quietly in the car for a while.
Finally, I went to Qingyun Road Taoyuan Community.
Xiao Chu was still filming in Hengcheng, but she wasn't there, she opened the door and went in, took out the snacks stored by Xiao Chu with ease, and then nestled on the sofa.
When night fell, Xia Tingcicada did not turn on the lights.
It was pitch black in the rental house, except for the street lamps in the small square of the community, which shone in through the windows from afar, bringing a little light.
Xia listened to the cicadas gnawing nuts in the dark, making a rustling sound, like chipmunks eating pine nuts at night.
gnawing and gnawing, remembering that the recording did not go well, her willow eyebrows twisted, and the snacks in her mouth were not fragrant.
She put the snacks aside, took out her phone, and boarded WeChat.
As soon as he opened Xiao Chu's avatar, his eyes rolled, and finally he gave up.
She quit WeChat and opened the video of Xiao Chu singing again.
This time she didn't look at it, but put her phone on the coffee table and closed her eyes to listen.
The environment in the rental house was not the same as the bar that night, but it was one thing in common, it was dark and quiet.
Xia Tingcicada didn't look at it, Xiao Chu held the guitar and sang, but it slowly appeared in her mind, it was a little blurry at first, and gradually became clearer, and the decadent and vicissitudes of life also appeared.
The sound of her turning off her phone, Xiao Chu's singing, sounded in her mind.
"I was condemned by love to be lonely for life, not to fight back, not to defend. The circle that can't be drawn under the pen, the fate that fills the heart with dissatisfaction, is your ......"
"Why love sentences sentient beings to loneliness, unable to break free, unable to escape. The knot that can't be untied on the brow, the catastrophe that can't be untied by fate, it's you ......"
"Ah~~ Lose your ......"
"Ah~~ I lost your ......"
Xiao Chu's singing voice sounded in Xia Tingciao's mind over and over again, faster and louder.
Huo Di, Xia Tingcicada sat up, her eyes shining in the dark.
She picked up her phone, exited the video, and dialed Ji Yuwei's phone.
"Yuwei, I know how to sing. ”
"Let's record it again. ”
"I promise, this time!"
On the other end of the phone, listening to Xia Tingcicada's clear and determined voice, Ji Yu was slightly surprised, and then replied: "Okay, I'll notify the band and record it again." ”
......
Forty minutes later, Silent Rain Breeze Music Studio.
The band is back ready.
Xia Tingcia turned on his mobile phone and showed the video of Xiao Chu singing to Ji Yuwei.
After reading it, she asked, "Yuwei, what kind of emotion did you say Xiao Chu had when he sang this song?"
Monsoon thought slightly.
Xia Tingcicada smiled slightly and walked directly into the recording studio.
She didn't say it, but she knew.
When Xiao Chu sang this song, there was nostalgia, struggle, and reluctance, but in the end, he was relieved and let go.
Completely let go of that relationship!
Xia listened to the cicada and began to sing, and this time, it was really perfect.
Over and over again.
