Blind date to idol talent show

Chapter 14 Recording
At this time, Li Yimu was sitting in a recording studio in Shanghai, wearing earphones and making adjustments to a bunch of sound waves in front of the screen.

He came out of the recording base.

Originally, he was practicing the piano, but someone from the director team came to him and asked him to go to the recording studio to record Daoxiang, and then when the program was launched, it could be uploaded to the music platform as soon as possible.

The matter of recording the audio was decided by Liu Qi when she watched the rough cut version. In her opinion, such a good song will definitely become a hit after it is broadcast. If Li Yimu didn't send it to the music platform immediately, it would be a waste of money.

Of course, the live version is also available, but the live version is a cooperation between the program group and the music platform, and listeners can listen to it without paying, and Li Yimu can't get a penny.

Li Yimu didn't know about this, he just agreed happily when he heard that he could leave the recording base.

Originally, the staff wanted to take him to the largest recording studio in Shanghai, but Li Yimu said that he had a familiar recording studio, so he came here after mentioning the location.

This recording studio is called Chengang Recording Studio, and it was opened by Li Yimu's college roommate, who is called Wang Chengang.

When I was in school, I liked doing business very much. I sold quilts for new students, helped people pick up deliveries, and opened a small shop in the dormitory building. Every night at twelve o’clock in the dormitory, I would make a bowl of instant noodles in the dormitory to seduce my roommates.

Li Yimu felt that at least one-third of the turnover of Wang Chengang's canteen was contributed by him and three other roommates.

After four years of earning money in college, he saved up to [-] to [-] yuan, and then opened this recording studio with the millions of entrepreneurial funds sponsored by his father.

When Li Yimu was a music teacher, he was occasionally invited by Wang Chengang to come here on weekends and weekends to help with accompaniment, arrange a song, record a sound or something.

Every time he came to help, it was a very tricky or difficult job, and the salary was not low. Although Li Yimu didn't want it at first, Wang Chengang said that his brother would settle accounts, and forced it to him.

Li Yimu didn't stop him, but took the money to invite Wang Chengang to dinner. As long as Wang Chengang was free that day, he never refused.

I didn't meet Wang Chengang this time, but everyone in the shop knew Li Yimu.

I told him that the boss went out to look at the new equipment. Recently, all major recording studios have replaced new sound receiving equipment, and their studios have to follow suit, otherwise they will lose their market competitiveness.

Rejecting the help of the clerk, Li Yimu went to the recording studio familiarly and started to arrange the music. What he performed on the stage before was the guitar playing and singing version, and the accompaniment was only the guitar, which was relatively thin.

Since the audio is going to be produced, of course a rich accompaniment is needed. Recalling the song he heard in his dream, Li Yimu found a suitable instrument.

The prelude is guitar and Tao Xun. The latter is one of the oldest wind instruments in China. Li Yimu doesn't know it, but fortunately there is an instrument simulator, just add the audio.
After that, the cello was added to the verse for the first time, the music box and drums were added to the chorus, and the bass was added to the interlude.

The second section is based on the orchestration of the first section, allowing the drums and bass to run through the entire section.

It seems that there is a lot to do, but fortunately, the melody of this song is mostly unison repetition and progression, and does not require particularly difficult playing skills.

Therefore, many musical instruments can be superimposed by copying and pasting with audio production software as long as they play a few bars.

After finishing everything, Li Yimu tried to listen to it twice, and felt that it was almost the same as the original song, only some details needed to be revised, so he became busy again.

The door opened, and a burly man in short sleeves walked in. Seeing Li Yimu concentrating on singing, he closed the door and sat on the sofa without disturbing him.

After waiting for a while to see Li Yimu take off the earphones, he said: "It's over?"

Li Yimu noticed Wang Chengang walking in just now, so he was not startled by his voice, and nodded: "The next thing is to record, can you keep an eye on it for me?"

Wang Chengang was also not polite: "Okay, but you have to let me listen to it first, otherwise I won't know if you sang wrong."

Turn on the stereo and play the accompaniment, and Li Yimu sang along with the accompaniment.

"I'll go." The shocked expression on Wang Chengang's face became more and more intense. This is too nice to listen to. Just the casually sung version has the urge to make him repeat the single.

"How about it?"

"Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, I haven't seen you in two months. Are you able to write songs?"

Li Yimu smiled and did not answer, but turned around and walked into the recording studio. Wang Chengang also sat in front of the computer excitedly and began to adjust the volume of the accompaniment and vocals. He was really excited to participate in the recording of this song.

"Sound audition, audition, 123." Li Yimu said twice into the microphone, saw Wang Chen just made an OK gesture outside the window, and nodded to indicate that it was time to start.

"Stop, Yimu, something is wrong here, you sing a little slower." Wang Chengang said to Li Yimu inside the microphone.

When I played and sang the guitar before, I controlled the rhythm by myself. When I couldn’t keep up with my mouth, I could slow down the speed of my hands a little, without affecting the presentation of the whole song, and there would be no major problems.

But now with the good accompaniment, the fast song part will be unable to keep up. After all, I haven't practiced for several days. Although I remember the lyrics, the rhythm is unfamiliar.

After reading the lyrics a few more times to get used to the shape of the mouth when uttering a few words, Li Yimu began to sing along again.

"Stop, the line continues to run along the Daoxiang River. There is a problem with the light and heavy accents. I don't feel like singing the accents. Be nervous and don't relax too much."

Wang Chengang was also very professional when recording. He believed that as long as the singer can do better and record it directly, it is much better than tuning it later, because it is natural and comfortable to listen to.

Unless the singer really can't do it, there's no way, the rotten wood can't be carved, and he can only rely on him, a tuner with an annual salary of one million.

He knew Li Yimu's level, so he listened with almost full attention, and would stop if there was a slight flaw.

Li Yimu is also very satisfied with this rigorous work attitude, he is also serious about music.

After tossing for more than two hours, the two came out of the recording studio.

"The latter part of the song will be handed over to you. There should be no major problems. If you can find someone who can play Tao Xun, you can do the prelude again."

"Don't worry, this song is definitely for you. I'm also very happy to be able to participate in such a beautiful song."

"By the way, there is one more thing."

Li Yimu suddenly remembered that the sound of crickets in the prelude to Daoxiang was the reason why he wanted to listen to this song seriously after hearing these sounds of insects. Now it feels almost meaningless without the sounds of crickets.

He searched the audio material library for a long time but couldn't find it, so he asked Wang Chengang to help.

"Add crickets? Good idea, but bro, where do you want me to find you crickets this season?"

"If you think about it, the sound of crickets will definitely bring this song to a higher level. It can be said to give the song soul."

Seeing Li Yimu's serious expression, Wang Chengang became serious too, and replied:
"Okay, I'll go back to our recording studio owners' group and ask if anyone has this material. If not, I'll think of a way, and I'll definitely get it done for you."

"Brother, by the way, how long have I been using the shed, I'll give you the money."

"No, you must always have songs of this quality, I welcome you to use them every day."

In the end, Li Yimu persuaded him with the reason that he gave him the money, and forced him to give him 900 yuan. According to the market price of the recording studio in Shanghai, this is considered cheap. Normally, it is [-] an hour, and he paid [-] yuan. An hour paid for three hours.

After that, the two chatted casually. Li Yimu talked about his recent situation, probably because he went to participate in the show, and then focused on the food problem.

Wang Chengang knew about Li Yimu's participation in the talent show for a long time, because he had seen the video of the little piano prince on the Internet, and he was not surprised to hear it.

He also took out his mobile phone and showed it to Li Yimu, and found a hot topic before: The Little Piano Prince.

Li Yimu raised his forehead, isn't this my self-proclaimed nickname in elementary school?
"Ah, I'm inexplicably ashamed."

　More or less regretted that I didn’t study well in the composition class in college. I wrote this chapter and went to the video site to watch the analysis of the composition of "Daoxiang", haha

　　In addition, at the request of a book friend, a book friend group was created. Interested friends can add it. The book friend group number: [313394021]
