After Lin Yuan left, Zhou Ruiming listened to "Balloon" again.
“Really good quality…”
After listening to it for the second time, Lao Zhou still gave the same evaluation.
This song was not like "Big Fish", which made Lao Zhou applaud as soon as he heard it.
But Lao Zhou understood that this was the norm.
It is impossible for any composer to make every one of his works a hit.
After Lin Yuan created three hit songs in a row, he was able to come up with a new song of good quality, which made Lao Zhou very satisfied.
"Anyway, next month there will be another fight between gods..."
The new season is stuck during the Spring Festival, and the market competition is as fierce as in December.
So Lao Zhou didn't expect the song "Balloon" to achieve any brilliant results. He would be very happy if it could make it into the top ten.
You know.
In December’s death group, even a song of the quality of “Big Fish” could only make it to tenth place.
Lao Zhou has studied the data.
After the research, it was concluded that even if "Big Fish" had entered the charts at the beginning of the month, it would probably have only gotten around fifth place in the end.
Think of this.
Lao Zhou contacted Zhao Jue and sent him "Balloon".
"Lin Yuan's song?"
After listening to the song, Zhao Jue was surprised and said, "He is so prolific."
Lao Zhou agreed: "It is indeed very productive, and the quality this time is also pretty good. Although the overall feeling is not as good as the previous ones, I think this song has a chance to enter the top ten. In addition, he specifically asked Jiang Kui to sing it."
"Jiang Kui?"
Zhao Jue thought for a moment and said, "After Big Fish, Jiang Kui's popularity has been very good. The company does want to train Jiang Kui. I have no objection to letting her sing."
"Um."
Lao Zhou thought for a moment and said, "What surprised me most about this song is how long the opening sentence is. I have listened to so many songs, but this is the first time I have heard a song with such a long opening sentence."
Zhao Jue smiled and said, "It's okay. Jiang Kui is a professional singer, so this shouldn't be a problem for her."
Lao Zhou thought about it and said, "That's right."
…
The two chatted for a few minutes and decided on a work plan.
After Jiang Kui received this notice, he jumped up excitedly.
Teacher Xianyu really sang the new song to himself!
It turns out that if you are a bootlicker to the end, you can really have everything you want!
However, when Jiang Kui got the music score of "Balloon", he realized that he was too happy too early.
Especially when she started to enter the recording studio, she realized why Lin Yuan asked her about her lung capacity yesterday.
Because this song is really lacking in oxygen!
To what extent is there hypoxia
Just look at the first verse and you will know: "Black, white, red, yellow, purple, green, blue, grey, yours, mine, his, hers, big, small, round, flat, good, bad, beautiful, ugly, new, old, all kinds of styles and colors for you to choose."
Jiang Kui counted them deliberately.
Yes, fifty-six words!
And there is no chance to breathe in between!
In the first paragraph of the verse, you need to connect these words together and sing them completely.
Enter the recording studio.
It was Jiang Kui's first recording session, and she managed to sing the first verse, but by the end she was severely short of oxygen, and it took her several seconds to recover.
Especially in the last few words, Jiang Kui's voice vibrated and shook quite violently.
This is a sign of unstable breathing.
Jiang Kui never thought that one day she would have unstable breath while singing!
"Can I say that it is worthy of being called Xianyu? This new song is so special..."
The recording engineer was surprised by the song: "Even for the professional singers in the company, it is not an easy task to sing so many words in one breath."
“That’s not all.”
Another studio member exclaimed: "It would be fine if only the first verse of the verse was long, but the scary thing is that the pitch of the beginning of this song is quite high. For this song, the higher the pitch, the harder it is to sing the verse in one breath."
"Let me try again."
Jiang Kui said something to the sound engineer, and then tried a few more times, which made Jiang Kui feel more and more dizzy.
Because every time Jiang Kui starts singing this song, she has to take a deep breath!
You need to take a deep breath at the end of each sentence and the beginning of the next sentence.
And after taking a deep breath, you must exhale evenly, and pronounce each word neither too lightly nor too heavily. If you exhale too forcefully on any word, the entire rhythm will be disrupted.
at last.
Even if Jiang Kui can do all the above, she will still run out of breath when she finishes the last few words.
Ordinary people may not be able to hear it.
Even to ordinary people, Jiang Kui's singing is perfect.
But as a singer who sets high standards for herself, Jiang Kui would not allow herself to lack breath for the last few words, otherwise it would be too unfair to the song written by Teacher Xianyu, so she stayed in the recording studio for most of the day to record the song, vowing to record it to the most perfect standard.
"Let's continue tomorrow."
As the recordings still did not produce satisfactory results that evening, the sound engineer had to suggest calling it a day.
There is no doubt that Jiang Kui can sing "Balloon".
However, if Jiang Kui wants to sing it to a perfect level, she will need to record it countless times. After all, this is not an ordinary song.
"Jiang Kui?"
No one answered. The sound engineer couldn't help but look at Jiang Kui, and was shocked to find that Jiang Kui was lying on the chair with her tongue sticking out:
"Ababa Ababa Aba..."
The two sound engineers were immediately amused.
However, they both could fully understand Jiang Kui's state. The melody at the beginning of this song was almost anti-human.
"I have an idea."
The sound engineer on the left said, "When the official version is recorded, let's not remove the breathy sound. This may make it more down-to-earth."
“Won’t it affect the hearing?”
The sound engineer on the right is a little worried.
There is a mixing technique in recording studio production that can eliminate breathy sounds.
If the breathing sound of a song is too loud, it will sound a bit weird and easily affect the mood of enjoying the song, so the singer's breathing sound is usually made smaller or even cut off completely during mixing production.
"It's okay."
The sound engineer on the left said: "All operations are just to make the work and the sound better. This is the premise. There is no black-and-white formula to apply to recording. Many love songs with rich emotions like to retain the breathing sound. Let's keep the breathing sound of "Balloon" so that the listeners can better understand the characteristics of this song."
“That’s right.”
The sound engineer on the right was convinced and said with a smile: "The breathing sound of the song "Balloon" is quite loud. Before the first sentence is sung, the singer has to take a deep breath. I'm afraid it's hard for the listeners not to notice it."
"I think so."
Jiang Kui has recovered. Although her brain is still dizzy, at least she can communicate normally with the recording engineer: "Let's keep the breathing sound of this song, so that many people won't say that our studio works lack live feeling."
