Chapter 1903 Eating late night snack
Fortunately, Guan Tingting is in good condition today, and this acquisition and editing system is quite powerful. You don’t have to go through the trouble like before. You can add audio tracks and re-record a section directly on the computer screen. By replacing a previous audio track, you can immediately play it and listen to the effect, and you can freely switch between several versions for comparison.
This efficiency is countless times higher than the previous recording efficiency in analog mode. It only took more than an hour to record "I heard love comes back" to perfection.
“It’s great.” Hu Rui played the last version of the music, and then sighed: “I just don’t know if it will be popular.”
Whether the song is popular or not is actually a bit mysterious. The flavor is there, just like Teresa Teng's songs in Faye Wong's new album. They were not popular in the capital before. For example, "May I Live Longer" was definitely not as popular as it is now.
However, Zhou Zhi is confident that "I heard love comes back" has been covered by many people, both men and women, and the effect is better than Lin Yilian's original version.
Now that the original version is replaced by Guan Tingting, it is too difficult to surpass her, because Guan Tingting's singing style represents the future development of pop singing, and it will only become more and more popular.
“Then let’s try “Star”. Can Tingting’s voice bear it?”
“The voice span of “Star” is much smaller than that of “I heard love comes back.” Do I want to bring in the harmonious singing method? "
Teresa Teng was also the focus of Guan Tingting's study during her initiation, and Guan Tingting was also very familiar with Teresa Teng's singing method.
"No more." Zhou Zhi shook his head: "If you want to take this path, you can't beat Faye Wong, so just follow what I said before, three parts, three sets of lyrics, warmth, sadness, hope, three levels of interpretation, we Let’s try expressing it like this first.”
“We have also divided the parts of the main song. , Tingting, how about you listen to it?"
Liu Yuchu is a piano master and started playing on the electronic keyboard. He played a complex three-part chord. Guan Tingting listened and nodded gently while humming to the score. , by the time she finished playing the song, she could sing the three parts independently.
This is called "absolute pitch". Among a thousand people, only two people have this talent and can clearly distinguish each single tone in a chord complex.
Zhou Zhi is actually this kind of person, but he did not go through such strict later specialized training as Guan Tingting, so his talent was wasted.
A few people briefly discussed it again. The first part of the main song is the bass part in Cantonese. Guan Tingting uses a warm bass that is close to pop singing as the main part, and the other two parts add background reverb; the second part of the main song Switch to the Mandarin version of "Another Kind of Nostalgia", using a singing method close to that of a folk song as the main part, Two voices, high and low, are used as accompaniment; the treble part of the final chorus is sung in a "rococo" way, which is Mariah Carey's "soul chant" as the main voice, and two additional voices, Liu Yuchu and Zhao Lexin, are added to create a It creates a sacred feeling of a choir, allowing the audience to experience the synaesthesia of facing the stars.
The three parts are actually handled relatively smoothly, that is, there is no "showing off skills", but from voice control to part combination, this skill is actually more advanced.
Especially when the same person controls the range of three voices, each has to have its own style so that people can clearly distinguish them, which in itself is also a manifestation of skill.
This version is actually to divide a song into three pieces and then reassemble them. Two versions of the chorus harmony of Liu Yuchu and Zhao Lexin are also added. Each part has to be adjusted in detail and recorded. The time is quite long.
Feng Xueshan and Yang He had to go to work, so they went back to bed early. The remaining Hu Tianyu and Hu Lidong were reluctant to leave. It was a rare opportunity to watch the creations of celebrities, so they continued to watch the fun.
Mai Xiaomiao couldn't bear it anymore. This girl didn't have a good rest last night, but she didn't want to leave, so she finally fell asleep on the small sofa.
Zhou Zhi and several music professionals were so involved that they didn’t feel the passage of time at all. After the final version was released, everyone felt very satisfied. At least in terms of the complexity and advanced processing methods, this version of "Star" has surpassed the versions of Shinji Tanimura and Teresa Teng, and can be regarded as standing up to the giants. On the shoulder.
However, it is very regrettable that this version cannot be completely restored at the concert, because one person performs on three tracks at the same time. This is a credit to post-processing. In actual singing can't be completed.
"When the time comes, I will take out the main vocal part of each section and sing it, and record the rest as the background. This is the only way." Zhou Zhi said: "This can't be considered lip-synching, right?"
Now that concerts are very popular, things like lip-synching have begun to happen quietly, but they have not attracted public attention yet.
“It’s better not to give it up. The effect will be a little less effective when the time comes.” Guan Tingting was open-minded and showed her absolute confidence in this version of the song. She was ready to show it at the concert: "When the time comes, I'll just sing three main vocals."
"That's fine." In fact, this is another way to show off one's skills. Mandarin, Cantonese, and Japanese are mixed in three languages. It seems that there are no songs like this yet. processed.
"Xiao Miao, Xiao Miao!" Zhou Zhi gently pushed Mai Xiaomiao up on the sofa, who was sleeping soundly with a pillow.
"Well..." Mai Xiaomiao opened her eyes, still half asleep, and looked at Zhou Zhi in front of her with an innocent smile: "Elbow, good morning..."
Everyone around them laughed, and Zhou Zhi also laughed and said: "It's only two o'clock in the middle of the night. Our demo recording is finished. Do you want to listen to it?"
Mai Xiaomiao quickly sat up and rubbed his eyes. : "Yes!"
"Close your eyes and your heart will feel pure, but when you open your eyes again, you will be afraid of waiting to see the future..." This is "Star" in Cantonese.
"Ah, only being alone, the sun rises and sets, so many feelings... ah, that feeling, surging and flying, how can I express it..." This is the Mandarin version of "Another Kind of Nostalgia".
The next part is the Japanese verse, but at the end, the two repetitions of the last line of the verse are changed back to Cantonese.
"With passion, I want to find the ideal, the ideal is peace, and leave in pursuit of my dreams, even if I walk through rugged and dangerous situations..."
Although Wheat Miao can't understand two of the three languages, he still can't understand them. Her eyes grew brighter and brighter as she listened.
After the song was sung, everyone applauded: "That's great!"
Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "This is just the DEMO version, the rest will have to trouble Little Fatty and the others. Arranged. With these two songs as the foundation, this album is definitely solid.”
“Let’s go out and celebrate,” Hu Rui said.
"Where are you going?" Zhou Zhi asked: "You are both big and small now and you are celebrities, and you still dare to run around at night?"
"Stop talking nonsense, let Brother Yu and Brother Dong drive, we will take you Go somewhere for a late night snack.”
