Chapter 65 Little Accident

It should be said that fame is really a good thing.

Because of his fame, even Wang Jingxue, who is as arrogant as Wang Jingxue, approached Li Qian, hoping to get his works. Bian immediately agreed with Li Baolong to lead the team to the south directly because of his fame. Although Li Qiancai was only a seventeen-year-old boy, since he came into contact with Huage Records, no matter whether it was with the producer Li Baolong or other people of Wuxingwusu The cooperation between her girls can be described as smooth and pleasant--only five songs brought it all together.

However, it is not a simple matter to transform fame into more benefits in reality, and continue to exchange for greater fame, and even convert these fame into a solid status in the world. In this regard, Li Qian, who has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, had a clear understanding early on and was fully prepared psychologically.

People walk in the rivers and lakes, they need to eat, drink, wear, and live, and they will have to raise women and children in the future. How can anyone not want to make money? People hang out in the circle, and they are all colleagues when they look up and down. Who doesn't want to be respected three points?

With Li Qian's current situation and his own character, he will definitely not think about being a tycoon or not for the time being, but he must earn the money he deserves, the fame he deserves, and the status he deserves You must also get it—whether you talk about ideals, dreams, or hobbies, you can say a thousand words, art, money, and fame are not opposed to each other, but only complement each other.

But now, with Liao Liao's five songs directly hitting the on-demand list and the skyrocketing fame in the circle, what Li Qian needs is to establish his so-called status in the world in the first stage-a master of lyrics and music, a gold medal producer!

The combination of five elements and my elements is the first shot he wants to fire!

Therefore, there is no room for loss.

... ... ...

September 5, Sunday, afternoon.

Jinan Fu Laodou Records, A1 recording studio.

Before half past one, Li Qian came here on time. When he opened the door and walked in, there were musicians and sound engineers invited by Laodou Records, Wu Xing Wu Su's sisters, and even their manager, Sister Wu. , the producer Li Baolong, and Fu Zhenbang, the owner of Laodou Records, were all present, and even the sound engineer who came from Shuntianfu had already arranged the positions for the musicians and instruments.

The appointed time was two o'clock, of course Li Qian couldn't be considered late, it can only be said that these people in the room took it too seriously.

After entering the door, Li Qian put his palms together with a smile on his face and said hello to those he knew and did not know. No matter what circle he lived in, it is good for young people to be polite, and it is not surprising that there are many polite people.

Seeing the arrival of the master, everyone greeted them one after another. Fu Zhenbang took Li Qian over one by one, and introduced the musicians invited today one by one.

The arrangements of the two songs "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up" and "Let's Swing the Sculls" were all arranged by Li Qian. Feng's arrangement is about 70% to 80% similar to the original arrangement of the previous life in his mind, while the latter's arrangement is mainly to highlight the feeling of chorus singing, and even according to Li Qian's arrangement, the whole song It is all a chorus, and there is no solo sentence, so the arrangement is relatively light, except for the rhythm, it is mainly piano and guitar.

It can be said that although this is almost the final version of the arrangement, it is relatively simple and requires only a few instruments.

Among them, Li Qian cared most about Beth.

When he listened to "Sister and Sister Stand Up" in his previous life, he was deeply impressed by the bass at the beginning of the arrangement of this song, so when it was his turn to make the arrangement, he kept it without hesitation .

However, in his heart, he wanted the bass to be extremely good. For this reason, a few days ago, he specially greeted Li Jinlong and Fu Zhenbang and asked them to find a bass player with a higher level.

There is no other reason, Bass is inherently cool and boundless!

And what Li Qian wanted was a cool word!

Musicians of course know that a band must have at least one bass player, one drummer, one guitar and one lead singer. This is the basic configuration. So it has a huge market, but bass is relatively remote, at least for those who don’t pay much attention to music and musical instruments, they can’t figure out what bass is, and they don’t even know which note is in a song. It's Bass. And such people, among the fans who will like the song "Sister and Sister Stand Up", will definitely account for the majority!

So, let’s start with a great bass solo, which will immediately make them feel that this song is very cool! Then quickly cut into the bright and jumpy rhythm, and add the catchy lyrics... This is the way to catch people directly!

And in fact, during the arrangement, thinking back on the original arrangement, and considering the overall style and rhythm of the song, Li Qian also had to admit that adding bass to the prelude of this song is very good in itself. It fits very well!

Therefore, based on such considerations, when Fu Zhenbang introduced the bassist, Li Qian bumped his fists with him, patted his arm specially, and said with a smile, "Brother Bing, wait a minute." Be sure to get up!"

The other party's name is Da Bing, who is said to be the number one bass player in the Jinan prefecture's music circle. He looks very strong and confident, with long hair and sunglasses. toothpick, and when he heard Li Qian's words, he also looked indifferent.

But Li Qian didn't care.

He has seen a lot of people who are engaged in music, especially rock and roll.

As long as you live well later, hello, hello, hello everyone—anyway, the whole song only needs his two basses at the intro and the end, and it’s enough to get up.

After Li Qian got to know everyone, Li Jinlong said: "Since everyone arrived early, then...start early? Record "Sister Sister Stand Up" first?"

Li Qian had no objection, nodded, and then said: "Let's start early, teachers! You all got the scores of the two songs yesterday, and you must have read them, but let's go through them twice first. Let's start with "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up", let's all find out how we feel and get used to it."

Then, he first smiled and looked at the bass player Da Bing, and then specifically said, "Brother Da Bing, your solo must be so that people will be fascinated by this sound and this instrument immediately after listening to it." !"

Da Bing tilted his head in a daze, nodded casually, and reluctantly said, "Brother is an expert!"

That means, you don't need to teach!

Li Qian just smiled, didn't say anything, just turned his head and told the Wuxing Wusu sisters, he asked them not to join in the singing, and first followed the rhythm to find the feeling in a low voice, after a while, the band was almost ready, and they went in again .

The sisters nodded to express their understanding, and Li Qian clapped his hands, "Everyone has worked hard, let's go through it first! OK, everyone, "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up", get ready... GO!"

A low-pitched bass sounded in response, instantly shaking everyone in the recording room to squint their eyes subconsciously.

Anyone who has heard the scene knows that when Bass's voice came out, it was really loud and shocking.

But... Li Qian frowned.

He played very well, but he dragged several notes!

But this was only the first rehearsal, Li Qian just kept it in mind, and then he paid attention to the musicians behind.

The first time I rowed, I must have stumbled, either the drums were answered early, or the keyboard was a little hesitant. Although there was a slight difference, even ordinary people could hear a little unnaturalness if they paid a little attention.

But it doesn't matter, at least Li Qian confirmed that the musicians recruited by Laodou Records are all above the standard, at least it's no problem to record a demo.

So when the song ended with the bass, Li Qian said with a smile: "It's great. Everyone is great!"

Then, he started from the keyboard, pointing out some of the problems he heard besides running-in, until the end, he talked about the bass, "Big Bingge, your bass is really enough, but the last one Two notes, don't delay, OK?"

Da Bing frowned when he heard the words, flicked the toothpick twice as before, and said, "What do you want! Why don't you?"

Li Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Is it impossible without dragging the tone?"

Da Bing spread his hands.

To be honest, although Li Qian has grown in size, he is only seventeen years old after all, no matter how much he shaves, he is still too young. Although the musicians invited by Laodou Records are not big names, they are The top one is rich in experience, well-informed, and they are all well-known figures in the local music circle. Li Qian naturally seemed a little bit overwhelmed when he dispatched it.

But fortunately, he has already been mentally prepared for this, so facing Dabing's attitude, he just smiled and said: "Look for the feeling, I believe you are fine, Boss Fu told me , you are the number one bass player in Jinan Prefecture!"

Fu Zhenbang has been in this circle for many years, and he is a long-sleeved and good dancer. At this time, because it was only rehearsal, he was not in a hurry to leave. Naturally, he said immediately: "Of course, this is not bragging, just Dabing, let alone Jinan It’s in the entire province, and that’s the first bass! Da Bing, follow Teacher Li’s request!”

Dabing reluctantly nodded.

So, this is considered to be the end of the mediation, and the second rehearsal begins.

This time the bass really didn’t have a drag tone, but the result was just like what Da Bing said, the cool feeling, the cool feeling, disappeared all of a sudden-of course it’s okay to follow the steps, this time he definitely didn’t go out of the way, but But it didn't have the taste that Li Qian wanted at all.

Li Qian couldn't help but frowned again.

Of course, after the second rehearsal, the band immediately seemed much smoother than the first rehearsal.

Only this bass.

It's all over the front and back, once it doesn't shine, in Li Qian's heart, the entire arrangement of this song will immediately drop half a notch!

So when the rehearsal was over, he couldn't help but walked to Da Bing's side and whispered, "Brother Da Bing, what do you say? If you don't drag your voice, you can't play tricks? Brother, come up with some of your unique moves!" "

With a pop, Dabing spat out the toothpick.

"The trick? I'll give you the trick if you want it, why don't you let Tuyin!"

Li Qian was speechless.

Yes, he has also played in a band, and he also knows that bass players often like to drag and slide, because the instrument of bass often looks very handsome at that time. But it is obvious that a top bass player is definitely not just arbitrarily swaying, he must be able to dance in the grid given by the score.

As for Dabing, if he is placed in a rock band, especially live, he should be an excellent bass, but in a more disciplined recording studio, he is obviously not up to the standard.

At least in Li Qian's request, he didn't meet the standard.

In particular, looking at it with consideration at this time, he felt that this Dabing didn't seem to like him very much from the beginning?

This is evil!

Li Qian nodded lightly, and gradually put away the smile on his face.

"OK, let's go again, everyone, please cheer up, we are going to record two songs today! After recording, I will treat you tonight! Okay, everyone, get ready... let's go!"

The bass sounds a little wild and a little irritable.

He is indeed a not bad bass player.

When this round was over, Li Qian took a deep breath, turned his head and walked towards Fu Zhenbang and Li Jinlong who had been listening in the corner - there was no way, everyone was a mature musician, and they had obtained the score in advance to practice in advance, so they joined together for a while. After practicing, each of them found their own feelings very quickly, but only the bass player that Li Qian valued the most, could not produce the effect he wanted.

Or maybe, the other party is deliberately unwilling to give it?

Li Qian didn't quite believe this inference. Laodou Records came forward to hire people on behalf of Huage Records, and all the money they paid was real money. Who would want to make trouble with money? Or, did he think he didn't dare to make substitutions?

Walking in front of Fu Zhenbang, Li Qian said in a low voice: "That big ice brother... I think my request is quite clear, but it seems that if he doesn't delay the tone, he won't be able to achieve the effect I want. I think, is it right? Can I ask Boss Fu to help me communicate?"

Fu Zhenbang has been there since the beginning, and he is an old Jianghu, how can he not understand at this moment?

He nodded when he heard the words, comforted Li Qian and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me!" Then he walked towards Dabing.

Here Li Qian nodded and smiled at Li Jinlong, then walked back.

They all knew that Fu Zhenbang was a local veteran, and Laodou Records should have a certain amount of energy in the music circle of Jinan Prefecture, so they were not afraid that he would not be able to deal with a bass player.

But what is surprising is that before Li Qian took two steps, Dabing over there had already shouted: "You think that my buddy is not good enough, you should replace it as soon as possible! What kind of bullshit gold medal author, didn't he just hit a few songs? At that level, is it still light rock? Can it be called rock? Running buddy is putting on airs like a grandpa in front of you?"

Well... this goal is too obvious!

Fu Zhenbang's face was pulled down at that time, "Da Bing, we brothers have been together for a year or two, let me tell you, leave me a guard, otherwise don't blame brother for not holding you back!"

Then, he pointed at Li Qian, "Go and apologize to Mr. Li now, don't think that you are just young...I tell you Dabing, no matter how much younger he is than you, now you still invite him As an accompanist, don't worry about it!"

Da Bing grinned, then walked out of the recording booth, and said nonchalantly: "Apologize? Cut! I, Da Bing, left the words here. Dude, don’t you think my bass is not enough? It’s fine, it’s all Jinan If you can find someone who says Beth is better than me, I will leave immediately!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Fu Zhenbang, not caring at all that Fu Zhenbang's face was turning black, but said confidently: "It's not that my brother is bragging for you, the whole Jinan Prefecture, I stand here and say it's mine." work, no one dares to bark!"

Li Qian nodded slowly.

This is considered to be on the bar!

For recording, it doesn’t matter whether you are looking for a musician, a sound engineer, or renting a recording studio. Everyone is rushing for money. What tricks can a demo record produce?

But I didn't think about it, and it didn't go smoothly after paying for it.

To be honest, at this time, even he himself didn't know whether it was because that Da Bing really had opinions on himself and his works before meeting him, or he just saw himself as just a big boy with a very bad attitude all the time. Be polite, that's why you don't take yourself seriously, and if you feel a little angry, you will kick the field.

But... there's nothing to be afraid of.

He nodded at Da Bing, "Okay, well said!"

After finishing speaking, he turned and took out his mobile phone.

Before he dialed the number, a few girls who had been standing behind him had already approached, Xie Bing said in a low voice: "Li Qian, forget it, it's just a demo anyway, when it's officially recorded, there are plenty of good basses in Shuntian Mansion." Hand, our company has already signed several contracts! Don’t worry about it, just finish the recording and finish the work, okay?”

The other girls also nodded when they heard the words.

At this time, Li Jinlong also walked over quickly. Although his face was not very good-looking, he still persuaded Li Qian with suppressed anger, saying: "Calm down, if you can record, we will continue to record. If you can't, I will call from the How about calling someone from Shuntian Mansion?"

Li Qian shook his head, "No need."

He understands, this is probably the power of the so-called Sitting Tiger?

Since that Da Bing dared to shout so loudly, even if Fu Zhenbang was willing to help him find another place, it would be difficult. As for Shuntian Mansion, please... Just kidding, Huage Records is an outsider, but Li Qian is a local!

It would be fine if he really didn't know anyone at all, but who made him meet someone not long ago!

Besides, everyone in the room is watching. If he, Li Qian, can't settle this matter smoothly, there are so many local musicians from Jinan Prefecture in the room. If this matter gets out, what kind of reputation will it have?

So, the phone was connected.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"Brother Cao, how many years has it been since you touched the bass?"

"Seven or eight years? Why?"

"I'm here to make songs for people. If you don't have a bass, I'm afraid you won't even be able to find the sound."

"when?"

"Now."

"where?"

"Old Dou Records, you know that?"

"Wait. Twenty minutes."
