Chapter 126 Gu Yong Gu Yong
Lu Yao never thought that recording would be such a hard work.
He had sang it five times, and when his voice started to become hoarse, he was stopped by the other party.
"Okay, you guys take a break first. Come out and listen to the effect of what you just did."
Wu Mengqi, who had already learned from Li Da that Mr. Xu, a guitarist, had a "quite extensive background," said.
A few people took off their headphones and walked out.
After Lu Yao came out, he started to drink water. The bottle he just drank had already been finished.
Li Da also directly introduced Wu Mengqi.
When several people heard it...it turned out that this was not a stranger at all, but one of the great producers in the music industry, and they immediately became a little cautious.
Naturally, Wu Mengqi didn’t put on any airs and just said:
"Let's first listen to the effect you just recorded. I'll talk about your strengths and weaknesses. Then when recording the instruments, I'll focus on changing them. Please also listen to my opinion on this song. How about it?"
Several "little newbies" nodded subconsciously.
Soon, the music started.
"This is the most stable time you have played..."
Following the music, Wu Mengqi began to tell his own views.
From a level of understanding, he actually has the same understanding as everyone in the band.
That is, this light rock song should have a vigorous vitality. Especially after learning that the title of this song is simply "Flowers", I felt this way.
After linking the lyrics and rhythm, and finding the theme of "vitality", all music styles can begin to move closer to this big proposition.
"Bass player, I just asked you to make the bottom tone of the bass stronger. Now listen to it... After the bottom tone is strengthened, imagine a seed buried in the soil. Your bottom tone is like that of a seed. How about the vitality surging in the soil? ”
"Drummer, the reason why I want you to be bolder is this feeling of majesty. The majesty we are talking about does not only mean big in a broad sense, it is more like thunder in spring. The sound of thunder appears, and the chirping of insects..."
"Everyone's harmony is not quite right yet. I think it should have a narrative poem feel here..."
You have to admit, an expert will know if something is there as soon as he takes action.
Wu Mengqi could tell at a glance that these people were wild, so he did not make any professional corrections. In addition to the music theory knowledge that every instrumentalist must have, he used more image comparisons and an idealistic perspective. , let everyone feel the emotion of this song.
The disadvantage of this is that it requires trial and error costs. Everyone understands these words differently, and it may take a long time to understand what they mean.
But the advantage is that the words are straightforward enough.
Can provide directions for improvement of defects.
Now... everyone was convinced.
What they said was easy to understand, and I realized where I was wrong. And when you listen to the music, you can also intuitively feel your mistakes.
It seemed like my mind suddenly opened up.
There is a sense of enlightenment and transparency.
This... is a great god.
This is the most intuitive thought that comes to everyone's mind after hearing him interpret the song bit by bit.
After talking about the lack of preparation for all the songs, Wu Mengqi said again:
"Do you remember all these improvements?"
The children nodded quickly like primary school students facing their head teacher.
Seeing this, Wu Mengqi said:
"Then you can start sampling musical instruments. Bass comes first."
"Huh?...Okay, good teacher."
Zhang Lina quickly stood up, took a few tentative steps into the soundproof room, and paused:
"I...I went in?"
"Well, go ahead and just follow the rhythm."
"Okay."
The girl walked in timidly, picked up the bass, and put on her headphones.
Wu Mengqi said into the microphone:
"You don't need to play it yet. Let's play the sampled music again. You can listen to it and think about what I just said."
"Okay."
Zhang Lina nodded.
Soon, the accompaniment sounded in the recording studio.
At this time, Wu Mengqi turned to Lu Yao and the others and asked:
"How old are you?"
Just now, Li Da told everything he knew, but the problem was that what he knew was limited.
So Wu Mengqi didn't know much about these people.
Several people reported their age as "18".
Wu Mengqi was stunned and asked in surprise:
"Are you still students?"
Wei Qianqian nodded:
"Yes, Teacher Wu, we are freshmen at Fuhua University."
"..."
Wu Mengqi became surprised now.
Fuhua University?
That's a top student.
He had a better impression of these people.
Rock is not necessarily rebellious, the most important thing is to have your own opinions and style.
Don’t blindly follow, don’t follow, be independent and self-centered.
It seems natural that these outstanding children among their peers can write this kind of song:
"Who wrote this song?"
"Him."
Mr. Xu pointed at Lu Yao who raised his hand.
"Where are the words?"
Wu Mengqi stared at Lu Yao and continued to ask.
"Uh... me too."
Hearing this, he was surprised again.
This kid... is quite talented.
After thinking for a while, he asked again:
"How much experience does your band have in performing?"
"No."
Wei Qianqian shook his head:
"Teacher Wu, we are not a professional band. We are here to record this time... We have to perform a show at our school's New Year's Day party, and then... He said he had a place to record, so we came here."
She pointed at Xu Ruochen and finished speaking. Although Wu Mengqi remained calm on the outside, he was completely speechless inside.
What does it mean?
The purpose of this song is not to distribute it, but to sing it in school on New Year’s Day?
? ? ?
Don't you top students not understand what it means to be violent?
Don’t you know what overkill means?
This...
"So you don't have an agent?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Several people looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
Lu Yaoxin said, what do we need an agent for?
What's more... what kind of manager can manage Mr. Xu of our band?
Now, it was Li Da and Wu Mengqi's turn to be speechless.
But after being speechless, Wu Mengqi took the initiative to speak:
"How about I collaborate with you on this song? I will be the producer of this song."
"Huh?"
Several people were stunned.
I never expected that... this big boss would actually take the initiative to speak.
Looking at the surprised looks of several people, Wu Mengqi smiled and asked:
"What's the name of your band?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Looking at the few people who were silent as if they were dead, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a stunned but dumbfounded expression:
"You haven't chosen a name yet, have you?"
"...Teacher Wu, we have only been established for a few days."
Wei Qianqian spoke again, a little embarrassed and said:
"I didn't have many ideas at first. I just wanted to... perform at the New Year's Day party. I didn't even think about a name..."
"So do you want to pursue a career in music?"
"Uh..."
After he asked, several people looked at each other again.
You look at me, I look at you.
Then...
Although there was no communication, they shook their heads in tacit understanding at the same time:
"No."
Everyone gave very straightforward answers.
This time, Li Da and Wu Mengqi couldn't deal with it.
You have no intention of pursuing a career in music?
Mr. Xu thought very simply.
If my family knew that I didn't study hard, engage in music, or enter the entertainment industry... my dad would probably beat me to death.
Lu Yao thought that my Beidou radio frequency chip has not been developed yet. Why should I enter the entertainment industry?
Wei Qianqian said that if I wanted to pursue a career in music, I would have gone to Berkeley long ago. What I have been pursuing all my life cannot catch up with Lang Lang, so what am I pursuing?
As for Zhao Hang, it's even simpler. My dad asked me to join his class and join Sinopec after graduation to engage in music...especially rock and roll. Then I wouldn't have to starve to death?
Not to mention Zhang Lina.
She had no idea what everyone was talking about.
This will make your mind full of thoughts: What is the vitality of seeds surging in the soil?
surge?
Guyong?
Isn’t that an earthworm...
Why is this reading comprehension so difficult?
The tacit reactions of several people made Wu Mengqi laugh out loud:
"Haha~"
He shook his head with a smile, suddenly feeling a little ashamed.
Because he has seen too many singers show "hugging their thighs" after hearing his name.
Unexpectedly, these children... their thoughts were not focused on this at all.
Everyone has their own pursuits in their hearts.
Hmm...what should I say? Isn't he a top student from Fuhua University?
Do you have a very clear understanding of your pursuit of life?
Inexplicably, his impression of Fuhua University and these children became better.
I was thinking about whether I should let the girl from my family meet these brothers and sisters and give some opinions...and then work hard to take the Fuhua test?
Don't mention anything else, just looking at these children, Fuhua's school spirit is unexpectedly good.
So, he stopped worrying, nodded and said:
"How about I help you produce this song?"
"Uh... will it be too much trouble for Teacher Wu?"
Wei Qianqian said tentatively. But Wu Mengqi smiled and waved his hand:
"It's okay, I quite like this song."
The corner of Li Da's mouth twitched.
I’m thinking, brother, don’t you even want to talk about the cost?
Working for free?
However, he didn't speak either.
On the one hand, there is no need. Anyway, what I gain is Mr. Li’s favor. On the other hand...since Teacher Wu made this song, it must be released. As for matters such as distribution, that is the company's business. What the company will discuss at that time is their business and has nothing to do with you.
"Sorry for the trouble, Teacher Wu. Thank you."
Mr. Xu said.
"Well. Then let me tell you about the next work. First of all, the arrangement must be more detailed. Your task today is to sample all the instruments, and then give me some time to perfect..."
With professional people supporting the scene, everything becomes different.
And Zhang Lina finally understood how to play.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Think of yourself as an earthworm.
Gurgling in the mud~
Hey!
I'm so smart!
……
"It's just... like a dream."
When the lights first came on, Zhang Lina couldn't help but complain when she saw the neon lights flashing in Lujiazui.
"Are we going to become big stars now?"
"Dreaming."
Zhao Hang rolled his eyes:
"Teacher Wu hasn't mentioned the fees yet. I checked on Baidu just now, and there is a fee for making songs... Should we pay for this?"
"No need."
As soon as Mr. Xu spoke, he quickly shook his head:
"That's not possible, we can't let you go out on your own."
“They didn’t mention the cost.”
Wei Qianqian said what he wanted to say for Mr. Xu:
"And if it's really produced and distributed...if someone listens to it, there should be some profit, right? Just give it to me then...Isn't that right?"
Zhao Hang nodded:
"Probably. If you are a great person, you will definitely not work in vain, right?"
Zhang Lina is a little naive:
"Is there a possibility that Teacher Wu really likes our songs?"
Zhao Hang:
"Even if you like it, you won't help in vain, right?"
Lu Yao smiled and shook his head:
"Maybe it's a gentleman's agreement. If he doesn't mention it, let's not mention it either. Just let everyone know what's going on."
After hearing his words, except Mr. Xu who was speechless, everyone else nodded.
But...
"It's like a dream. It's obviously a school performance...how can I become a singer? If I become a big star...will I be able to sing with Lin Junjie?"
Looking at Zhang Lina's nymphomaniac look, Zhao Hang asked with a smile:
"Do you like Lin Junjie?"
"Yes, I like him so much!"
"They probably won't like you."
"Kick you to death!"
The girl threw a flying kick, but unfortunately it was dodged.
"Okay, you two, stop making trouble and go back to school. Remember to make your own arrangements for your classes tomorrow afternoon. Let's come together then, don't be late."
After Wei Qianqian finished speaking, Mr. Xu sneered:
"Don't worry, you don't need to tell Lu Yao this, he won't be in class at all."
"That's because dude is a genius."
"vomit~ I can't anymore, I want to vomit."
"Hahahahaha..."
A few people were chatting and laughing, and walked towards the subway station.
As for music dreams... they are too far away.
Not considered at the moment.
Haven't considered it either.
Let it go, after all, we are still students.
Academics are the main thing.
……
"Can't you just talk to me, or sing a short piece to me and I'll listen. Baby, please~"
"..."
Xu Ruochu, who subconsciously clasped her toes, raised her head with a speechless expression.
Looking at Sister Li sitting cross-legged on her sofa and talking on the phone coquettishly, she sighed silently:
"Hey...sister, can you go back to your own home?"
"?"
Hu Li looked up at her and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"...What do you think?"
Xu Ruochu's face was full of helplessness:
"You have been holding the phone since you came to my house just now... If you two want to make a call, can you go home directly? Do you have to come to my place to make a call?"
"Hehe, it's not a phone call, it's MiLiao, which allows voice chat. You're next. We can also have voice chat, so we don't need to make a phone call."
"..."
Not to mention anything else, Xu Ruochu's toes tightened again.
She really couldn't stand the woman in front of her.
Ever since she fell in love with Lu Yao, she has become a completely different person, acting like a baby all the time...acting like a baby every day...acting like a baby every minute!
"You are so annoying!!! Can't you two speak in a normal tone!!"
"Hehehehe~"
Seeing that she was going crazy, Hu Li smiled even happier.
He stood up and went directly to the dining table, ruthlessly grabbing the laptop in front of Xu Ruochu:
"I'm asking you a favor."
"...What for?"
As she said that, she opened the notebook again, but it was closed again the next second.
"Sister, I'm working!"
"It's already time to get off work. How can a good person still work after get off work! Hey, can you give Xiaochen a call?... Just say that I heard that he and Lu Yao are working on a new song and I want to listen to it..."
"..."
Xu Ruochu felt that his brain hurt a little.
Can't help but say:
"Do you think... with your boyfriend's brain, he would never have imagined that you would use such despicable means to get information from Xiao Chen? He must have finished talking to Xiao Chen."
"...He doesn't love me anymore. Wuwuwuwu..."
"..."
Xu Ruochu estimated that his blood pressure must be over 180 at the moment.
I haven't noticed before... Why does this person have no brain at all after falling in love?
At this time, Hu Li's phone suddenly rang.
Pretending to cry, she glanced at the screen. I found it was an unfamiliar number and answered the call with some confusion:
"Hello, how are you?"
"Hu Li, this is Wang Rui. Why didn't you tell me that you changed your phone number?"
A gentle male voice came from the speakerphone.
But Hu Li was a little puzzled:
"Who?"
"Wang Rui, haven't we watched a movie?"
"..."
Sister Yu, who was originally full of sweetness, immediately turned cold:
"Who gave you my phone number?"
"Uh... don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. Are you in Shanghai now?"
"I! Ask! You! Who gave you my phone number?"
"..."
"Don't say so. Ha."
Hu Li sneered:
"Okay, I'll give you face, I won't ask, but you tell the person who gave you the phone number, if you don't want me to find out and kill him, this is the last time. Also, don't call me in the future. You Only this chance.”
Snap.
The call was immediately hung up.
"..."
Xu Ruochu also frowned:
"How many people did you give your phone number to?"
"Less than ten."
"...That's easy to check."
"Yeah."
Although Hu Li agreed, he shook his head:
"It's not necessary. I gave you the face. If you don't take it, don't blame me next time... Asi! It's so annoying! All the good mood is gone!"
She scratched her hair irritably.
Xu Ruochu reopened the notebook and said to the screen:
"The cause of yesterday is the result of today. You should be glad that Lu Yao is not around."
"...You are not allowed to tell him, do you hear me?! I don't want to make him unhappy."
"I won't say."
After Xu Ruochu finished speaking, he glanced at Sister Xiaoli opposite, and suddenly asked:
"But...there are some things, haven't you made plans in advance?"
"..."
Hu Li pursed her lips instinctively.
With a "ding" sound, Lu Yao replied.
Voice comes from the speaker:
"Don't have bad intentions. I just finished talking to Brother Xiaochen. You should give up this idea as soon as possible before the New Year's Day performance."
Her unhappy expression immediately turned into a bit shy and aggrieved:
"Oh, you're annoying! Just tell me..."
After speaking into the microphone, she realized that Xu Ruochu was still staring at her, and the shy look on her face showed signs of fading again.
It’s just...
This time, she escaped.
"Xiao Bu, let's go. Go home!...I'm home."
"Yeah."
Xu Ruochu didn't try to stay.
Watching friends flee their home.
After closing the door, she looked at the report on her computer screen and suddenly sighed:
"Alas."
