Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 868
When he really entered the state of business, Akina Nakamori had nothing to do.

After the collaboration album was finalized, in order to accommodate Shinichi Iwahashi's time, she delayed entering the recording studio for the first time until now. She was a little impatient and wanted to start as soon as possible.For the first recording, I waited for Iwahashi Shen in the recording studio for half an hour. Although I felt anxious about waiting for too long, I still chose to get into work quickly.

Shinichi Iwahashi went to get the score of the album, and Akina Nakamori leaned over to communicate with him about the singing style of the song before the official recording.

This time, there was finally no situation where two people disagreed and quarreled in the recording studio.

When formulating the album plan, Iwahashi Shinichi was thinking about music production. According to Nakamori Akina's idea, he was responsible for grasping the general direction and ensuring the commerciality of the album.

It is not the first time for Akina Nakamori to be a music producer, nor is it the first time for him to be an executive producer.Each of them performed their duties, and there was a smooth flow of effort from the very beginning.

Only by letting her do it, I have a deeper understanding of Akina Nakamori's thoughts on music and her singing talent.

The first audition was quite smooth. If you just sang the song according to the score, the album can be recorded in about ten hours, and delivered to the computer room for post-production. Nakamori Akina's singing skills are so good.

However, the reason why this round is a "sound audition" instead of a formal recording is to explore the characteristics of the song through actual singing, and then consider a suitable singing method.

On the one hand, it was Akina Nakamori who changed the singing style over and over again to find the most suitable one.On the other hand, Shinichi Iwahashi is not really just on the sidelines. He is responsible for participating in the arrangement of the album, communicating with the sound engineer, studio musicians, and the arranger at Warner, and making a sound that can Complementary arrangement with Akina Nakamori.

This album is scheduled to contain ten songs, and Shinichi Iwahashi participated in about half of the arrangements. However, considering his schedule, several arrangements were made in cooperation with the arranger on Warner's side.He is responsible for setting the direction of the arrangement, and the arranger does it.

Arrangements cannot exist apart from musical works, so there is no independent copyright.Big-name arrangers can also participate in the share of the record. Shinichi Iwahashi and Brother Nakamura are responsible for the arrangement of DREAMS COME TRUE. They are the two pillars of the band, so they each get [-]% of the arrangement share.But this is a special case.

A truly unknown arranger can only get a one-time payment.Shinichi Iwahashi cooperates with the arranger on Warner's side, and the arrangement is a one-time buyout on Warner's side. As long as Shinichi Iwahashi signs his name in the column of arranger, he and the arranger will pay the arrangement fee. Half of the family.However, the bulk of Shinichi Iwahashi's share is the producer's share, and the arrangement fee is a drop in the bucket.

In addition to his own participation in the arrangement, Iwahashi Shinichi also brought his studio musicians to participate in the recording of the accompaniment.When a singer like Akina Nakamori records, the recording of the accompaniment and the recording of the vocals are basically carried out separately. At this moment, the first version of the accompaniment has just been produced for today's audition.

After Akina Nakamori finished testing the sound and decided on the singing method of the song, she had to re-produce it.

If a singer is the absolute center in the recording studio, it means that everyone will be directed around by her, and if she is slightly dissatisfied, she will have to overthrow what has been made and start over.

Akina Nakamori called Shinichi Iwahashi a "tyrant" in front of Shizuka Kudo, and it turned out that she was the one who really said the same thing.

……

Of course Shizuka Kudo would not know about this kind of thing.

After the first round of auditions, Nakamori Akina came out of the recording room.Yanqiao Shinichi and her sound engineer accompanied her to audition the recording just now, and the sound recording assistant was responsible for recording the opinions of the three people.

The little assistant Momoi went to prepare drinks for these people. After running around, she waited and looked at the console. What Akina Nakamori was saying, Shinichi Iwahashi listened carefully, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

It's completely different from the way they confronted each other after the sound audition last time.

It is said that the harmonious atmosphere is better.However, having seen those two people face each other with knives and guns, for some reason, I feel that something is missing.

This thought swirled in her mind for a moment, and was immediately driven out of her mind.The little assistant read her assistant manual silently, calmed down, and didn't make random guesses about what was going on between these two people.

As a small assistant, is there anything better than a peaceful workplace?

The three people over there will discuss and press the pause button, and come to rest first.The recording assistant took advantage of this gap to sort out what he said just now.

Leaving the console and sitting down in the small lounge, the strings in Akina Nakamori's head were loosened, and the little face that was tense just now relaxed again.When I was working, I looked imposing, but now I am holding a cup and sipping hot tea, like a small animal.

Yanqiao Shenyi's eyes fell on her contented face with squinted eyes.

Akina Nakamori opened her eyes wide, looking at Shinichi Iwahashi as if aware of it, "Is there something on my face?" She blinked innocently.

Yanqiao Shinichi caught her off guard.Paused, shook his head, "No."

"Um……"

She seemed to be humming a song, and replied vaguely.As if wanting to borrow the heat of the tea to fumigate him, he lowered his head and continued to drink tea.

This look is not mischievous.Yanqiao Shinichi was a little surprised that she showed him an unofficial attitude towards him.But the accident was an accident, and I didn't feel flustered, but accepted it happily.

The sound engineer sitting here together, because of the conversation between these two people, also looked at Nakamori Akina's face, but he didn't take it seriously.Looking back, he spoke to Iwahashi Shinichi again.Just now in front of the console, I was busy with Akina Nakamori's new album. During the break time, when I spoke, everyone was conscious and didn't mention business.

Akina Nakamori sat on one side by herself, raised her head, and opposite was the sound engineer and Shinichi Iwahashi.The two of them first talked about the newly released keyboard synthesizer. The sound engineer was delighted when he said it, and Shinichi Yanqiao listened with great interest.

She also pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what the sound engineer and Shinichi Iwahashi were saying.When I got serious, I heard Iwahashi Shinichi say to the sound engineer, "When technology advances, fashion changes accordingly."

The Japanese arranger has nothing to say about his professional level, and he is especially good at all kinds of gorgeous and complicated arrangements, as if he brought the craftsman spirit of buttonhole carving into the music.Superb talents come from all aspects, but to a certain extent, the reason why Japanese arrangers have such superb talents has a lot to do with Japan being a big country in the production and use of electronic synthesizers.

"It's hard to say if it's popular..." The sound engineer laughed, "My son has been clamoring for a personal computer recently. What can middle school students use for that kind of thing?"

Yanqiao Shinichi answered casually, "Maybe it will be of great use."

His tone was casual, and the sound engineer didn't take it seriously, "Thank God if you don't cause trouble." He listened to the sound and decided to buy his son a computer that belonged to him.

The two of them had a lively chat, leaving Taopusida aside.Akina Nakamori suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Iwahashi-san."

"What?" Shinichi Yanqiao looked at her.

Nakamori Akina said to him, "On Thursday night, I will watch a new program planned by Iwahashi-san."

Yanqiao Shen saw the expression in her eyes when she said this, and couldn't help smiling, "Really? Thank you for your support."

"However, the TV in the tea room of the recording studio is not equipped with ratings statistics equipment..." She said witty words, as if deliberately teasing someone.

Yanqiao Shinichi was not annoyed, and cooperated with her in telling jokes, "That's a pity. If the statistics are obtained, the ratings will be better."

The sound engineer next to me interjected, "Speaking of which, Ming Cai-san also came to record on Thursday night."

"It's about recording a new single." Akina Nakamori calmly continued, "During the break, I was lazy and went to the tea room to watch TV."

Yanqiao Shenyi was serious, "Watching TV during the break is not considered lazy."

Nakamori Akina laughed out loud at his words.However, what is more funny than this sentence is the way he said it in a serious manner.

The sound engineer admired Yanqiao Shinichi's ability to sing and harmonize, and also laughed, "That's how it is."

On their side, the three chatted happily.

On the other side, the little assistant Momoi came to serve tea and water, refilling the empty cups.After walking out, he bumped into Da Ben who came back after going out to make a phone call, and nodded his head to greet him.

Big Ben glanced at the lounge and muttered casually, "It's quite lively."

It seems that the atmosphere is quite good.

Last time in the recording studio, I yelled "You bastard!"This is sitting together and chatting happily.Thinking of this, Da Ben felt in his heart that Akina Nakamori was a soft-hearted person after all.

When doing things according to her opinion, everything is easy to say.When confronted, he is more arrogant and domineering than anyone else.Big Ben looked at his watch, confirmed the timetable with the little assistant, and ordered: "After nine thirty, go prepare for supper..."

"I don't know what we're talking about." After Da Ben finished giving his instructions, he glanced at the lounge a little curiously.

……

This evening, when I was having dinner with Momoko Kikuchi, she mentioned that Akina Nakamori was going to sing the theme song of the TV series in which she acted as the second hand.

As soon as Iwahashi heard her talk, he guessed that it was no accident that this theme song was Akina Nakamori's new single before the release of the new album.Therefore, it is not surprising to hear her say it now.

Nakamori Akina told him, "...the heroine of the drama is Kikuchi Momoko from the same firm."

"I see."

Yanqiao Shen nodded, "So, Yanyin arranged it." He changed the subject, "Probably brought newcomers from the firm to participate in the performance."

This time, Nakamori Akina nodded again.She mentioned it casually, "I heard from the manager of the firm that Peach Jam was introduced to the firm by Iwahashi-san."

"It's not an introduction." Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "Kenichiro-san is in charge of the actor department of Kenon, and when we met and chatted, I made a few extra remarks."

Akina Nakamori smiled, and began to joke, "Peach Jam was introduced by Iwahashi-san, and I am a singer produced by Iwahashi-san. If you say that, Iwahashi-san also arranged it."

"Can it still be counted like this?" Yanqiao Shenyi laughed.She didn't think it was too far-fetched at all.

Just thinking about it in my heart, this Nakamori Akina rolled his eyes and changed his words: "It doesn't seem to be considered..."

Judging by her suppressed smile, she is [-]% teasing people.Iwahashi Shinichi was a little bit embarrassed, and said casually, "If Akina-san goes to act in a TV series, he will definitely play the leading role and theme song."

The sound engineer also felt that Akina Nakamori must have performed well in acting, so he echoed it.The sound engineer was not because he had seen her acting skills, but because he felt that Akina Nakamori could do what other idols could do.

Akina Nakamori pursed her lower lip, showing an innocent expression—as if she was saying that acting in a TV series had nothing to do with her.

This Tao Pustar, who played innocent at the beginning, looks very cute.

She didn't mean to tease Yanqiao Shinichi on purpose, she finished talking, put away her mischievous energy, and said to him, "Iyanqiao-san's show is very humane."

Yanqiao Shen was partly surprised that she suddenly brought the topic back to the prank show, and partly surprised by her saying, "Human touch?"

Akina Nakamori nodded, "When I was watching it, I was thinking that although it is a prank show, it is actually very gentle and gentle." Her real viewing experience, to some extent, explained why the ratings of the first broadcast of the show were mediocre .

Now, everyone is busy looking for excitement all over the world, it is not an era where you can appreciate the taste of human touch.

The ratings premiere of the show wasn't a big hit, but it wasn't a failure either.At eleven o'clock on Thursday night, TV Asahi's variety show, as long as the ratings level of the first broadcast is guaranteed, it will not end within a year or two.However, when making a program, no one thinks about making a program that is stable and stable from the first episode to the last episode.

After hearing Nakamori Akina's words, Yanqiao Shinichi lowered his face and thought about it.

He stopped talking, and Akina Nakamori stared at his face, then closed his mouth too.Still thinking a little foolishly, it must be very interesting if Yanqiao Shinichi suddenly raised his head and said, "Is there something on my face?"

……

After the break, the three returned to the console from the lounge to continue the discussion just now.After talking for a while, after confirming a few key points, Akina Nakamori simply went into the recording room and checked with Shinichi Iwahashi and the sound engineer while auditioning.

Assistant Momoi looked at the time, and when it was 09:30, he went out to buy supper according to Ben's instructions.After working all night, my stomach is empty.Akina Nakamori came out of the recording room for the second time, and seeing the prepared food on the table, her already empty stomach felt even more hungry.

She walked to the console, and when she opened her mouth, she said, "Eat something first, okay?"

With that smiling look, Iwahashi Shinichi began to think that she looked like a child in the shopping street again.
