Lin Yuan asked curiously, "By the way, system, what are you going to do with the money I paid for the customized song?"
Does the system cost money to upgrade
Of course, the result was not like that. The system's answer was somewhat beyond Lin Yuan's expectations: "Donate to those in need in this world."
It turned out that he went there to do charity.
Lin Yuan nodded without saying anything more.
Everything went on as usual until April 18, when another weekend arrived. Lin Yuan finally notified Sun Yaohuo, "Get ready to come to the company. We'll start recording songs today."
"Right here!"
Sun Yaohuo had made an appointment with his girlfriend to go out and play, and was on his way, but when he received Lin Yuan's call, he turned the car around without hesitation and drove to the company.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
When Lin Yuan, who was waiting at the door of the recording studio, saw Sun Yaohuo, the other party was panting and breathing heavily, as if he had just had some intense exercise.
“Nothing….”
Sun Yaohuo swallowed hard and forced a smile. He would not say that he was afraid that Lin Yuan would be waiting anxiously, so he ran all the way here after arriving at the company.
“Can you sing now?”
Lin Yuan asked. He sent "Red Rose" to Sun Yaohuo a few days ago. After these few days, the other party should have practiced it almost enough.
"I can recite it by heart."
Sun Yaohuo said seriously.
He got the lyrics and demo of "Red Rose" a few days ago. After listening to the demo, the only feeling in his heart was:
Worthy of being called the Envy Fish!
If I can’t make this good song popular, I will never sing my junior’s songs again in my life!
I don't deserve it!
Lin Yuan nodded and entered the main control room of the recording studio. The staff here were already ready and put on their headphones skillfully.
Through the glass.
Sun Yaohuo nodded to Lin Yuan in the recording studio, and conducted the first sound test after the equipment was debugged: "In the dream, I dreamed of a dream that I couldn't wake up from. The red line was under house arrest. All the stimulation was left with fatigue and pain, and I was no longer indifferent..."
Lin Yuan did not interrupt.
It was not until the other party had sung the entire song for the first time that the recording engineer gave the first round of suggestions. Lin Yuan added some thoughts: "There is no problem with your proficiency, but your voice is too open. The overall tone of this song is quite depressing. It is not enough to just focus on the feeling of sadness. You can hold back a little when singing. Let's do it again."
Sun Yaohuo nodded.
The second time he sang, he adopted a more restrained style, but Lin Yuan still interrupted him: "The emotional tone of this song is indeed a bit depressing, but depression also has layers. The layers in the beginning can be understood as sorrow."
"sad?"
Sun Yaohuo nodded again.
When he sang the lyrics of the chorus, Lin Yuan expressed his needs for the third time: "Those who cannot get what they want are always in turmoil, while those who are favored are fearless. This is the second level of repression in the song, which is the lament after the sorrow."
These suggestions come partly from the system.
Part of it is based on Lin Yuan’s own understanding.
Lin Yuan used the same method when recording songs before. He didn't need Sun Yaohuo to completely imitate the original singer. In fact, everyone has a way of singing songs that suits them better. Zhang Bichen also sang "Red Rose" in her previous life. It had a completely different feeling from the original version, but it was equally good to listen to. Although Sun Yaohuo had the same vocal range as the original, it was not to the extent that pure imitation was required.
The same goes for the subsequent recordings.
Lin Yuan and the recording studio took turns making requests, and Sun Yaohuo absorbed and understood these suggestions and constantly adjusted his singing. The recording studio and the live performance are different, and the songs that have the most far-reaching impact after they are released are basically the studio versions.
"Next comes the third level of repression."
"When I hug you from behind, I am looking forward to her face. If you sing along with the lyrics, you will find that the emotion expressed in the work is a kind of light self-mockery. It doesn't have to be very strong, which is more helpful for the timing of breathing in and out."
“You don’t need to use too many techniques.”
"Most songs are sung with the mouth, with emotions as the support. This song is sung with emotions, with the mouth as the support. Gradually raise the pitch while softly sighing, but never raise the pitch. Instead, let the sighing gradually turn into the kind of lamentation that is hoarse and exhausting..."
The recording engineer gave a lot of suggestions.
But the following is basically Lin Yuan’s explanation.
The recording engineer explained more from a technical perspective, while Lin Yuan explained from a song perspective. The former is more objective, while the understanding of emotions is more subjective, so Sun Yaohuo is most difficult to deal with when it comes to Lin Yuan.
"Failed again..."
"Fail again..."
Lin Yuanguang’s explanations were not enough, he also occasionally gave some singing demonstrations. His voice problem prevented him from being a professional singer, but it was still easy for him to demonstrate a song with a low pitch.
Finish demonstrating your voice.
Lin Yuan said: "Did you notice that you should breathe in before singing to reduce the pressure on your body. You can breathe in and out after each sentence and inhale and exhale according to the actual situation. If you are in the right mood, I can accept the imperfection of your breath."
Sun Yaohuo could only nod.
Most composers are not as strict as Lin Yuan, and the opinions on singers' performances are mainly from the recording engineers. But what makes Lin Yuan different from other composers is that he has studied vocal music for many years. Even if his voice had not been damaged, he would have been a very good singer. Therefore, his requirements and understanding of singing are beyond the reach of most composers.
In a sense.
The recording studio is also full of tools.
There are very few composers like Lin Yuan who can write lyrics, compose music and arrange songs and are also proficient in singing. If all composers were like Lin Yuan, many people in the recording studio would probably face unemployment.
“I won’t record it for now.”
After working for several hours, Lin Yuan finally suggested taking a break. At this time, Sun Yaohuo still hadn't revealed a version that met Lin Yuan's standards, but this was something Lin Yuan expected: "You should practice well for the next few days."
"OK."
Sun Yaohuo prepares to "grind the shed".
The so-called grinding in the studio means practicing in the recording studio for a long time.
You can practice singing at home, at any time, but the best effect is achieved in a recording studio.
Because the equipment in the studio can feedback a lot of sound details, and there is a studio monitor who can give feedback on the singer's singing performance at any time.
Lin Yuan just left.
In the following days, he no longer cared about the recording.
The recording of the official version has to wait until Sun Yaohuo has thoroughly mastered the song. Anyway, Lin Yuan is not in a hurry.
And at this time.
As time enters the end of the month.
In the literary section of the Tribe platform, the competition among thirty writers using short stories as their weapons is finally coming to a conclusion!
Some even joked:
This is the moment when the king is unveiled!

ps: I have been busy with moving during the past two days. Since the lease has expired, the update will be late. The next update will probably be posted at twelve o'clock.
