Chapter 81 The Album Production Is Complete!

Of course, the relationship between Li Qian and Xie Bing was not as imagined by those gossiping men and women.

Xie Bing is very beautiful, there is no doubt about it, she smiles sweetly, looks forward to her beautiful eyes, Wu Nong speaks softly, is charming and charming... These good words will definitely not have the slightest sense of disobedience when applied to her, even boasting She feels nothing. Because these words are completely realistic for her. This beautiful girl, of course, everyone loves to see, at least Li Qian thinks that dealing with these beautiful girls of their five elements and idiosyncrasies is a very pleasant and enjoyable thing.

But that's all.

Li Qian is not obsessive, and he doesn't have the so-called harem collection addiction. Moreover, even though he thinks that three wives and four concubines are very attractive, he is not so superficial that he wants to hug him when he sees a beautiful girl. arms.

As an old man in his thirties, he has his own self-knowledge and self-control.

Therefore, in terms of his position in his heart, professionally speaking, he himself is the producer of the Wu Xing Wu Su album. Get a sum of money, and a qualification that will be tougher and more confident when you enter the industry in the future. In terms of personal relationship, to be honest, he is an old man who is about 40 years younger in mental age. When he sees these lively and youthful girls, he often subconsciously treats them as juniors and children. ——This is a common problem of many mature old men.

No matter what kind of rippling will be in Xie Bing's heart, as far as Li Qian is concerned, he took Xie Bing to listen to such a scene, one is to fulfill the promise, and the other is to feel that she is staying alone in Jinan Mansion, and it is time for the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion At that time, although Wang Jingxue was also in Jinan Mansion, but she was cold, she really didn't seem to be considerate and caring, so Li Qian felt that it was necessary to show some care to the little girl... As I said just now , This is really a common problem of old men.

After listening to the play and sending care, for him, this matter is over.

After listening to a good show in the afternoon, everyone got together for dinner in the evening, and then Li Qian rode a bicycle and sent Xie Bing back to the apartment they rented. If there is water or something, he simply turns around and pedals away. Before leaving, I did not forget to say: You must practice that song "Farewell", otherwise I will train you later!

So, yes, Xie Bing was full of words to say, but he also held back.

... ... ...

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, everything is back on track.

Although the holiday is not long, but with a few days to relax, the fatigue caused by the continuous recording for several weeks on the girls immediately disappeared, although the previous good state was also lost. Not much, but after a little adjustment for two days to find the feeling, their next recording will soon become smooth.

The first to be completed was "Love Me!" written by Cao Zhan and composed by Li Qian. , then The Lovebirds.

In the end, it was the very Russian folk song "Night in the Suburbs of Moscow"-an extra thing, in this world, this song has never appeared before.

By the time all three songs were recorded, it was already late October.

Then, finally, came the last stage of the recording part of this album - "Farewell"!

... ... ...

In Li Qian's plan for Wuxingwusu as the album producer, each song in their album has a clear direction and a clear audience.

From "Let's Swing the Sculls" for elementary school students and middle school students, to "Happy Baby" for middle school and high school students, and "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up" for high school students, college students, and all under 30 years old The main consumer group of pop music, and "League of Broken Love" is aimed at all young men and women, in conjunction with the song "Chong! rush! rush! ", and Cao Zhan's cheerful and clear-paced "Love Me!" ", these six songs together form a relatively complete hit system-these songs are just for the purpose of picking out young people's wallets.

However, an album obviously cannot all have this brisk style, although it is not absolutely impossible, but if the whole album is really made into this style, then it will not be popular. Once this album becomes popular , Wuxingwusu's future development route was directly nailed to death.

Therefore, they also need some alternative songs.

Such as "Love Birds", such as "Candied Haws", such as "Night on the outskirts of Moscow".

These three songs are all going to be popular, and they can be very popular, but they will not attract money like "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up", because they all have their own unique charm and relatively biased songs. swipe.

The former can bring sales, and the latter can bring word of mouth.

But that alone makes the album too messy.

Not to mention whether it is top-heavy or not, at least as far as an album is concerned, the style will appear to be relatively disordered, and there is even a feeling of being directly divided into two halves, making it impossible to create a perfect album from the overall style.

Therefore, a "Farewell" is needed to hold the ground.

With "Farewell", Wu Xing Wu Su is no longer a simple idol group that can only sing fast songs to make money. The last four songs represented by "Farewell" and "Night in the Suburbs of Moscow" will be Bring them a very good professional reputation. Only then will it be possible to truly usher in a double harvest of word of mouth and sales!

In the 21st century, people like to speak forcefully, which in the final analysis means nothing more than style.

And "Farewell" was taken out to brush up the style.

However, everything has a positive and a negative.

The song "Farewell" is very powerful and awesome. It is no exaggeration to say that in the time and space that Li Qian experienced, it is a super work that can be juxtaposed with "Yellow River Cantata" and "March of the Volunteers". The theme of the author is the survival of the nation, this theme is very big, and the standard of the two works is also extremely high, so it seems to be of high status, while "Farewell" is purely an expression of personal feelings, so it seems to be a little lighter.

But in terms of musical quality alone, "Farewell" is not inferior.

Even, to be disrespectful, if there is no promotion by the state apparatus, once the two major works concerning the survival of the nation enter the peaceful era, it is estimated that only a few people will listen to and admire them, while "Farewell" ", but it is enough to rely on the spontaneous word-of-mouth of the people to be sung immortally for a hundred years.

But it is precisely because of its super high status and high quality of works that as soon as this song appears, it will inevitably shake the domestic music scene in this time and space. Then, as the first Wuxingwusu group to sing this work, it will surely usher in more, stricter, and even critical scrutiny, criticism, and even torture.

Because of this, from the beginning of the recording, Li Qian was extremely strict with the five girls, and even finished recording the fast songs in one breath, and put "Night in the Suburbs of Moscow" at the end, further creating They develop emotions, develop feelings.

But it turns out that it is still difficult.

And it has nothing to do with singing skills or voice, it's purely a lack of emotion!

In Li Qian's opinion, this song is difficult to sing, but it is also easy to sing. It is difficult to sing because it is a slow song, and it is a very particular slow song, which has extremely strict requirements on the singer's breath and singing skills. But it is easy to sing because the most important thing about this song is not the singing skills, nor the breath.

but feelings.

Just like the famous comment on Su Shi's poems, "Bachelor's Ci, you must be a big man in Kansai, with a copper pipa and an iron chuban, and sing from the east to the east." Is it because the singers in the brothel are not up to the standard? Can't sing well? Obviously not! You know, at that time in the Song Dynasty, the singers in other brothels were professional! But Su Dongpo's bold and unrestrained lyrics, if you ask a few delicate and weak girls with red teeth to clap their hands to sing, it just doesn't sound right!

It is very simple to sing "Farewell".

A person with certain singing skills, over forty years old, preferably over fifty years old, has experienced some things, settled some things, experienced life and death, and experienced farewell, you give this song to him, he Even if there are some places where the breathing is unstable, some places are even a little out of tune, and his throat is even hoarse and broken, but that is completely okay. Once the sense of age and the sense of time come out, the song "Farewell" can be heard a few times. One sentence can give you the tears you can't stop!

But Wuxingwusu, whose average age is only 21 years old... obviously doesn't have that vicissitudes of life!

So, one day, two days... On the third day, Li Qian simply called them out of the recording studio and returned to the rehearsal room.

"I know you are still very young, and I also know that it is really difficult for you to grasp the emotion of this song, so I don't have high requirements for you. You are all young, but I believe that you are very familiar with this song. It’s not that I haven’t experienced this kind of feeling in the movie! Now, let me tell you, come and think about it…”

"You all left your parents when you were teens, went out, went to Shuntian Mansion, and made music, so now, please remind me, do you remember what it was like when you left home? What do you look like? What do your parents look like? Do you remember the colors of the quilt cover and pillowcase that your mother made up? The little bear on the bed, or the puppy, or a very ugly sewing baby crocodile?"

"You just came back from home after the holiday, so is it normal? When you can't go back, do you occasionally recall a certain dish that your mother made for you? When you encounter difficulties and troubles, when When you cry alone in grievance, do you think of something?"

"Also, and... Do you still remember those flower beds that you can see when you look down from the window? And the children running, laughing, and making noise by the flower beds? Do you remember that you grew up growing up? Do you still remember the large patches of weeds that grew up on the playground every year when the school started after the summer vacation?"

"You must all have your own good friends, your best buddies and best friends who have played since you were young, so, do you still remember what your good friends said before you were about to leave home? Did you also get drunk together? Ever? So now, how long has it been since you guys? Goodbye to them, can you still recall the silly things you did at that silly age?...OK, I saw some people's eye circles started to turn red, So now, remember it, grab it, and sing it!"

... ... ...

It took less than twenty days for Li Qian to record the five songs in the first part with Wu Xing Wu Su.

It took them about sixteen days to record the three songs in the second part.

But when recording "Farewell", it took Li Qian a full fourteen days just to repeatedly temper their breath and mobilize their emotions!

But the advantage is that when you walk into the recording studio again, the effect will appear immediately.

When a few girls, and some girls just in their early twenties, sang "Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road" unhurriedly with the clear and pure voice unique to young girls, I don't know Before he knew it, Li Qian, who was standing outside the transparent glass wall of the recording studio, found that feeling of sour nose and eyes.

Unfamiliar ordinary fans of the song "Farewell" may think that it is in the format of the upper and lower lines, but it is not. The repetition of the section "outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road" creates a feeling of going back and forth, doubly highlighting the series of images of the long pavilion, ancient road, grass, evening breeze, willow, flute, sunset, mountain, etc., forming A kind of emotional progression in which mourning is written with sad scenes, and then saddled with sad scenes.

The voice is sad, and every word is love.

Li Qian assigned different passages to the five girls based on their different voice lines—no way, "Let's Swing the Oars" is mainly for children, and the chorus is enough, but "Outskirts of Moscow" "The Evening" and "Farewell" are destined to attract countless critical gazes. If we simply continue to use the chorus, then not only the five elements and my principles, but even him as the producer will be criticized as a bloody sprinkler!

Moreover, that also seems too cowardly!

Fortunately, hard work pays off. After two months of continuous adjustments to them, coupled with the recent deep emotional excavation, Li Qian finally succeeded in getting their five young girls to sing at least It's up to the mark!

... ... ...

Saturday, November 9, at 4:30 pm.

After five consecutive recordings, at least three of which met or even exceeded the standards required by Li Qian, Li Qian pressed the intercom, smiled at the five girls behind the glass wall, and said, "OK, now I Announce that the studio recording part of your second album "Sister Sister Stand Up" is officially completed!"

Paused, before the five sluggish girls in the recording studio reacted, he folded his hands together again, putting away all his admonishing energy recently, with a smug look on his face. With a peaceful smile, he said, "Thank you for your hard work in the past two months!"

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been digging too hard lately, or I really feel that the two months of recording the album have been too hard, or because they have been scolded by Li Qian many times recently, they have accumulated too much resentment, in short... ...After a while, the eyes of the five girls behind the glass wall were all red.

And Li Qian sighed inexplicably, and then smiled slowly.

"It's finally done," he thought.
