Not knowing what Jiang Kui and Sun Yaohuo were thinking, Lin Yuan slowly said, "Can you sing along with each other? In other words, harmony."
"Harmony singing?"
Sun Yaohuo and Jiang Kui looked at each other and didn't dare to answer immediately. After thinking for a while, Sun Yaohuo said, "Basically."
Jiang Kui said: "Me too."
Both of them are professionally trained and have studied vocal music professionally and systematically. Of course they can sing accompaniment, but the level of accompaniment is not equal to the level of singing.
and.
They didn’t know what Lin Yuan’s standard for “knowing” was. If two people were to work together, it would actually take some time for them to get used to each other.
It is worth mentioning.
In a very professional concept, harmony is not accompaniment. Non-professionals can easily confuse the fact that only horizontal connection is the concept of harmony.
But it's like dolphin sound.
Originally, there was no such thing as dolphin sound in the professional field, but since laymen have mentioned it so many times, people don't worry about it anymore. As long as the meaning is correct, it's fine. This kind of acceptance is considered as adapting to local customs.
Harmony can be understood as the division of parts.
The lead vocal is the main melody, and the common harmony is that there is another part singing along, usually called the second part. This kind of accompaniment is nothing more than three, five, and eight octaves, which are the most common and simplest.
If the lead singer is 123.
Then the backing singer will sing 345.
Just add a third according to the harmony. Whether it is a major third or a minor third depends on the chord. Of course, depending on the different vocal ranges, the difference between male and female voices, or special needs, this third can also be sung up or down an octave.
Flexible but not rigid.
But even this kind of backing vocals requires a certain level of skill. If you haven’t practiced much, it’s easy to have discord, just like two top singers in the music industry wanting to sing a song together…
It doesn’t mean that a song will definitely become a hit when the king and queen of singing collaborate on it.
During the chorus, there will definitely be sections where each person sings backing vocals for the other person. If the coordination is good, the effect of one plus one is definitely greater than two, but if the coordination is not good, everyone will feel something is not right.
One plus one can be greater than two.
One plus one can even be less than one.
After hearing what Lin Yuan said, Sun Yaohuo and Jiang Kui both guessed what the other was thinking: "Junior, do you want me and Jiang Kui to sing a duet?"
Lin Yuan nodded: "Yes."
The company's mission is to promote a male singer and a female singer. Lin Yuan thought that the most labor-saving way would be to sing in chorus.
Of course.
Saving effort is only secondary. Lin Yuan is not a lazy person. The most important thing is that this method of operation -
The most cost-effective!
This was a system loophole that Lin Yuan discovered after repeated thinking. The system charges one song per customization, so why doesn't he just customize a song for a male and female duet and promote two people at the same time
"so… "
Lin Yuan said: "When you two go back, you can find some duet songs to practice. It would be best if you have a professional to guide you. Male and female duets require tacit understanding. Your vocal ranges and timbres are quite compatible, so there won't be any conflicting voices."
"Understood."
Sun Yaohuo had no objection.
Jiang Kui naturally had no objection. This way, there would be no competition between her and Sun Yaohuo. At least, the first song given on the ninth floor should be like this. Only cooperation can lead to a win-win situation.
…
After Sun Yaohuo and Jiang Kui left, Lin Yuan called out the system.
Directly tailor-made
Or more random
Lin Yuan chose the relatively cost-saving customization method: "System, I will pay one million to customize a duet song for a man and a woman."
Saving money means no insurance.
For duets, the vocal range and timbre of both singers must be taken into consideration. If the song given by the system does not match the voices of the two, it will be a bit troublesome.
However, another loophole in the system can be used to solve this problem:
Yang Zhongming’s character card!
No matter what duet song the system provides, Lin Yuan can open Yang Zhongming's character card and adapt the song to the mode and state that best suits the voices of the two.
I don't know if the system has discovered this vulnerability.
Lin Yuan is indeed not allowed to use Yang Zhongming's character card to create, but the system allows Lin Yuan to use Yang Zhongming's character card to create secondary works based on existing works.
So no matter what song the system gives him, Lin Yuan won’t be too worried.
In view of the possibility of excessive charges in the system, he kept the customization price at one million.
“Ding Dong.”
The system displays: "Song customization..."
Thirty seconds later.
System prompt: "Customized song completed. Congratulations on winning the male and female duet song "Rooftop"."
It’s actually Jay Chou’s song
It seems like this is the first time I sing Jay Chou’s song.
This song was written by Jay Chou for Jacky Wu in the early days. The original version was a duet between Jacky Wu and Landy Wen. It belongs to the category of classic duet, and its quality and mark are not low.
The system provides two versions.
The first version is a duet between Wu and Wen, and the second version is a duet between Zhou and Wen.
The former has an older arrangement style and a sense of age; the latter is relatively in line with modern arrangement aesthetics.
Lin Yuan thinks both versions are good.
But maybe the second version is more popular because it was sung by Jay Chou. Although in Lin Yuan's opinion, Landy Wen's voice is not 100% in sync with Jay Chou's, and needs to be processed with the help of recording studio effects.
The female singer whose voice is most in tune with Jay Chou should be Cai Yilin, without mentioning the specific songs for now.
"Let's wait until the two of us have developed a rapport before trying to sing again."
"This song is not difficult to sing. If Senior Yaohuo and Jiang Kui sing it together, there is basically no need to make any changes. This is good news. After all, it is best not to make any changes if possible."
After deciding on the song, Lin Yuan prepared to download it first.
As a result, halfway through the download, the system prompts: "Download failed."
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment: "No internet?"
He subconsciously wanted to check the wifi.
“The system does not require the Internet… The song download failed because the system hopes that the host will once again increase their participation and complete the arrangement and demo recording independently. The songs provided by the system in the future will follow this process.”
"… "
Lin Yuan said: "I understand."
He was not angry about this. Lin Yuan was not opposed to increasing his participation in the song. As I said, he was not a lazy person.
Just record it yourself, it’s just a demo.
The finished arrangement has a template, and Lin Yuan just needs to use his hands-on imitation ability, there is no need to find someone else to do the arrangement.
It's like a novel.
The novels provided by the system at the beginning were all used directly, but later the system allowed Lin Yuan to write them himself. The current situation is similar.
It is not difficult to make a sample, also known as a demo.
As long as you have a computer and related software, you can record songs conveniently. Lin Yuan has learned this before, and it is also good to use it to improve his hands-on ability. Anyway, it is not a very formal singing.
He called Gu Dong, made some necessary preparations, and then officially started making the sample.
