National Tide 1980.

Chapter 815
Ning Weimin used this empty glove and white wolf method to operate a project worth millions, which was a huge advantage.

Of course, it can't be said that he didn't jump out.

At least the money for renting the recording studio, as well as the labor fee for the seven-plywood band, as well as the food, drink, tobacco and alcohol for the sound engineer, are all paid by him personally.

But compared to the cost of producing tapes, this is insignificant, so how much is it?
What's more, renting a recording studio still has Feng Chaonian's face, it is a friendly price, and the fee is [-]% off.

A studio is only 90 yuan, and the post-mixing fee ranges from [-] to [-] yuan.

It just so happened that the recording studio was not rented by other audio-visual publishing houses recently, and Ning Weimin booked it for two weeks, which was less than 2 yuan.

In fact, it is useless at all, and it is enough for Zhang Qiang to use.

To put it more philistine, since this is the first album, Ning Weimin has a wide range of songs to choose from, and he didn't even look for lyricists, he just picked them from the ready-made cassettes of those singers in Baodao.

Don't forget, there are not only excellent original songs on Baodao, but this year was originally the era when you copied me and everyone copied it.

The Taiwan singer himself has sung a lot of European and American disco songs, and the lyrics are very good.

It can be used directly, which is completely trouble-free.

Like Liu Wenzheng's "Flying Ship" and "Late", Feng Feifei's "Love Me Well" and "Applause", "Shalala" changed from "SHALALA" by the Danish Walkers band, and "gimme gimme gimme" by the Swedish ABBA band "Annoying Autumn Wind" changed, "Mummy" changed from "mamma mia", and "A Fire in Winter" changed by the Irish women's singing group Nolans "Sexy Music", and Zhang Qiang changed Ning The song "Love You Is Hard to Say" that Weimin circled fans in is all within Ning Weimin's selection range.

It is enough to see that in terms of style control, for the sake of safety, Ning Weimin adopted a half-half strategy.

It can be said that five of the songs are original covers of Baodao, in order to fit the aesthetics of the contemporary public.

The other five songs are covers of European and American disco, testing the market response and trying to lead the trend.

Almost all of the important songs are fast-paced songs, generally still prefer the dance style, and are more suitable for the expressiveness of Zhang Qiang's unique voice.

In short, save money, trouble, time and effort.

Once the Seven Plywood Band and Zhang Qiang are familiar with each other, and the usage time of the recording studio is set, they can be brought into the studio to start practicing.

So one afternoon at the end of April, the seven-plywood band, mother and daughter Zhang Qiang and Ning Weimin gathered in the recording studio of the National Center for the Performing Arts.

This was the best recording studio in China at that time, but even so, the equipment was bought in the 70s, and it couldn't play the threshold mixing and plate reverb that are popular in Europe and America now.

The method used in the 70s was to pile up speakers in the corner, and then put a bunch of microphones next to the instruments.

So the effect is that the sound of some instruments will be very dry, such as drums.

But this can only be done, after all, even the concept of a recording studio is new.

When Ning Weimin decided to rent a professional recording studio, he heard from Feng Chaonian that apart from the National Center for the Performing Arts in the capital, there is also a capital audio equipment factory whose equipment is barely adequate.

In fact, many audiovisual publishing houses get their own equipment, find a room and record it casually.

Because there is no shock-absorbing treatment.

The tapes they recorded with this native method can't even guarantee the purity of the sound and the absence of noise, let alone the special effects of mixing.

Otherwise, even if imported tapes sell for [-] yuan, everyone is still willing to buy them.

Domestic tapes are cheap, selling for five yuan and five, and everyone still has complaints.

Just because of the technical level of recording, the sound quality is really different.

To put it bluntly, if Ning Weimin is willing to spend the money for the recording studio, it is already considered a big production in China.

And having said that, Ning Weimin really didn't understand, he had never been in a professional recording studio.

When I entered the studio, I saw that the place was not small, several hundred square meters, and there were wires and equipment everywhere. The recording studio was full of speakers and microphones, which was very lively.

He felt that he was very professional, and he was willing to pay the IQ tax.

Zhang Qiang's mother and the seven-plywood band are fine, after all, they are professionals and have experience in the studio.

So the only one who can compare with Ning Weimin is the little girl Zhang Qiang.

She was also curious about everything she saw, her eyes were wide open, she walked around, full of freshness, and even Ning Weimin didn't even bother to ask her to drink water to moisten her throat.

But it was completely different when it came to the audition.

Perhaps it is because a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, Zhang Qiang is not nervous, only excited.

As soon as she followed the instructions, she put on the big earphones and followed the performance of the seven-plywood band. As soon as her small voice lit up, she was so surprised that there were several sound engineers guarding the console outside the soundproof glass.

The master who listens to songs every day is actually dumbfounded.

Ning Weimin, you can clearly see that one person's expression became obviously agitated, and the other person hummed softly.

The one in the lead started to control the "voice effector" to make various adjustments in a very calm manner-this is a kind of sound quality hardware tuner, which was widely used before software tuning became the mainstream.

But he couldn't help asking Ning Weimin, "Brother, which song and dance troupe do you guys belong to? You really found a treasure. This girl's voice is so good that she doesn't need to fix it at all..."

"We are not from the song and dance troupe..." Ning Weimin glanced at Zhang Qiang's mother, smiled, and deliberately complimented her. "But she also has professional advice..."

Zhang Qiang's mother also smiled, with a gratified expression.

But unexpectedly, the sound engineer immediately refuted. "Impossible, how can a professional teach like this! I have seen many professional ones, such as bel canto and folk songs, and I just want to sleep after listening to too much. But this little girl is so different, she is absolutely unique in China , this voice, this feeling, this is a miracle in the world!"

This guy stopped talking to people after he finished speaking, and even hummed and writhed.

Still totally addicted to it.

"........."

Ning Weimin and Zhang Qiang's mother looked at each other in astonishment, smiled and shook their heads, and stopped talking.

The official opening of the recording was also very smooth, and three songs were successfully recorded on the first day.

With professional equipment and professional guidance, even Zhang Qiang himself couldn't stop singing. He felt so selfless that his body was trembling slightly.

In the end, Ning Weimin took the initiative to discuss with Zhang Qiang's mother, saying that after all, the days are still long, don't hurt your throat, take it easy, and sing slowly in the future.

Only then did it stop.

So when Zhang Qiang's mother's trust was greatly increased again, Zhang Qiang reluctantly walked out of the recording studio.

But as soon as she left the recording studio, the selfless energy just now disappeared in an instant, and she became anxious.

"Brother Ning, is there something wrong with my singing? You...are you dissatisfied?"

She dared to think that she could not sing well.

Ning Weimin immediately praised, "You sing so well!"

As for a good way, he doesn't have a deep study of music, so he can't say, but it sounds right and he likes it very much.

Fortunately, the sound engineer was also very supportive, giving Zhang Qiang a thumbs up. "That's right! It's great! Your throat is like a tide, that's a huge shock wave! From my experience, once your tape comes out, it's guaranteed to be a hit! Hey, can you send us a few discs?"

Even Zhang Qiang's mother was so touched, she nodded her head again and again, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "Good singing, my daughter is awesome!"

Now Zhang Qiang is relieved, the silly girl doesn't know how to be modest, she just laughs silly.

After that, of course, it was Zhang Qiang's mother who once again expressed her gratitude to Ning Weimin for his insight.

Ning Weimin was also very satisfied, feeling that he had almost caught the tail of the windfall, so he almost slipped out and put it in his pocket.

The only problem was the mood of the seven-plywood band. When they were leaving for dinner, Ning Weimin could tell that there was something wrong with those boys, especially Cui Jian, who was depressed.
