Be a goddess from Tokyo

Chapter 189 New Song and New Album (Two in One)

PS. Thanks to book friends Xianyun Muzi, Qianyin Ailu, Fat House who can't write books, and Lingmeng for the book coins, thank you!
After the first day of filming was successfully completed, the instructors were arranged to rest upstairs in the student dormitory.

Because the work was done early, the tutors who had nothing to do went downstairs to interact with the students.

This can also be regarded as an opportunity for the students to get in close contact with the instructors. Before they were filming a program, they were somewhat restrained, but now they are much more relaxed, although there are photographers shooting both times.

The place where the instructor and the students interact is a large practice room, which was originally used for the assessment of all members tomorrow, but today it was used for an impromptu symposium.

There were not many students who came to chat with the tutors, most of the students were still thin-skinned, even though they knew that the tutor next door was chatting with their roommates, they were as anxious as a cat scratching, but they still didn't dare to come over and take a look.

Among the students who came over, Class A and Class B accounted for more. Because Junzi had a good relationship with Wen Xia, she came and sat directly next to her.

"It's a pity that you were not at home yesterday. Luo Quan's parents are here for Luo Quan's birthday." Wen Xia said to Junzi regretfully.

"There is no way around this." Junko's tone was also very annoyed, "When we came in, the program team told us that we are not allowed to go out unless there are special circumstances.

What about spring sauce?She didn't come with you? "

Wen Xia thought for a while and said, "She seems to be recording a song."

Junko was puzzled: "Record the song? Is it for the show?"

"Didn't she say she was going to release an English album before? When inspiration came, I went to record songs with the equipment of the program group."

Hearing Wen Xia's words, several female students next to her surrounded her curiously.

Lin Yuxiao: "Mr. Luo Quan will release a new album?"

"For the English album, it is said that there is a song that even invited Leon." Wen Xia spread her fingers and pointed to Leon who was playing with her mobile phone.

I saw Leon staring at the phone with a serious face, and kept typing with his fingers. A female student almost melted when seeing him like this.

"So handsome."

"This serious look, I can't stand it."

The students cheered softly.

Leon didn't notice this, he just had a headache because Huaxia's fans are too enthusiastic, just after opening Weibo, more than 500 million fans followed him, and his first Weibo post to say hello was nearly [-] if he didn't pay attention comment of.

By convention, he is going to reply to these comments.

However, there must be only a few of the tens of thousands of comments. In order to show his sincerity, all of Leon's replies are in Chinese.

He definitely can't use the input methods of pinyin and strokes, but he has Baidu translation.

This is a practical tool that Luo Quan shared with him. It can be converted between Chinese and English at will. Although it is all machine-translated, sometimes the words do not convey the meaning, but most of the cases are relatively reliable.

Lyon used Baidu Translate to read a comment, then entered his thank you, translated it, copied it and replied.

Because there are so many fans, after replying, new comments will appear one after another, and Leon has to translate again, so he is a little busy for a while.

As for Luo Quan, she is indeed preparing a new album.

In the blink of an eye, half of April has passed. Luo Quan said before that he would try his best to win a Grammy trophy for Huaxia this year.

Of course, this is not for fun, she also has such strength.

Taking advantage of the ready-made equipment in front of him, Luo Quan is going to record a title song for the new album first, and release it tonight as a warm-up.

Of course, this song is not the only title song that will be recorded later.

Yesterday, two animation production teams in Japan approached her, wanting her to make OP and ED for their animation.

The animation has basically been made, and there are still two things left.

Luo Quan has heard of these two animations, one is called "RE: Another World from Zero", and the other is called "Girlfriend at Home".

They are all very good dramas, especially the former one, which is the hegemonic drama of the season when it is broadcast on station B. It is one of the few popular dramas with more than [-] million broadcasts. What Luoquan wants to produce for this drama is Ending song.

And "Family Has a Girlfriend" asked her to make the OP. The expected broadcast time of the two dramas is different from the previous life, which can be regarded as allowing Luo Quan to catch up.

So tonight she has a total of three songs to complete, not too many, but not too few.

The recording studio was not in the dormitory building, so Luo Quan went to the Xiaoshan International Film and Television Center a few hundred meters away.

This center occupies a very large area. There are special shooting venues like Hengdian, and there are also several buildings that provide indoor shooting. There are also a lot of equipment for film and television production in the building, which can be said to be quite complete.

The crew of "Creating Girls' Generation" is not the only one in Xiaoshan International Film and Television Center today. Luo Quan went in and saw acquaintances as soon as he reached the second floor.

"Hey, Luo Quan?" Qin Yi and another male star were about to go downstairs when they saw Luo Quan walking up.

"Qin Yi!" Luo Quan was also a little surprised. He didn't expect to see this male star who had worked with him for a while here.

"What are you doing here?" Qin Yi asked curiously.

"Record the show, create Girls' Generation, I am the mentor."

As soon as Luo Quan said it, Qin Yi came to his senses. Recently, this variety show was faintly a sign of becoming a phenomenon-level variety show, and most people in the circle had heard of it.

"So Wen Xia is here?" Qin Yi said, glanced ambiguously at his friends.

Luo Quan was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood: "Then you must be Qin Yi's good friend, I heard him talk about you!"

"You know me?" The boy looked at Luo Quan in surprise and said, "My name is Zhang Zifeng, and I'm indeed Qin Yi's good brother...... Has he ever said anything bad about me to you?"

"That's not true, I just asked me about a lot of things." Before Luo Quan finished speaking, Qin Yi coughed violently as if he suddenly had a lung disease.

Zhang Zifeng frowned and looked over: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I'm choking on my saliva." Qin Yi quickly waved his hands, not knowing whether it was to Zhang Zifeng or Luo Quan.

"I still have something to do, so I'll go up first, and we'll talk next time when I have a chance." Luo Quan understood what Qin Yi meant, and hurried away.

After Luo Quan left, Zhang Zifeng put his arms around his good brother, and said with a "friendly" expression: "Old Qin, did you reveal any information to Luo Quan?"

Qin Yi's face was as usual: "What information can I reveal?"

Zhang Zifeng said seriously: "I can warn you, I just have a good impression of Wen Xia's place, and I don't have any intention of going further, so please don't say anything about it."

"Don't worry, it's not like you don't know my mouth, it's tighter than an anti-theft door!" Qin Yi said, patting his chest.

Only then did Zhang Zifeng let go of his hand, and the two continued to go downstairs.

And Luo Quan came to the third floor. There were basically no stars here, and they were all the behind-the-scenes production staff of various crews.

There are many rooms, and there are many people in the room.

The layout of this floor is in a zigzag shape, and each side is responsible for the production of a kind of media. For example, Luo Quan is in several rooms responsible for video editing, and it is also the room with the most people.

Luo Quan walked all the way to watch, and when he got to the middle, he happened to see Director Huang of "Creating Girls' Generation". He was discussing something with Deputy Director Li and Zhou Yangwen.

And Zhou Yangwen was obviously just making some comments, so he wasn't particularly focused. When he looked up, he happened to see Luo Quan passing by, and he walked out immediately: "Why did you wander here?"

Luo Quan replied with a smile: "I'm here to see if there are any vacant recording studios, and I want to record a few songs."

"Are you going to release a new album?" Zhou Yangwen has actually been thinking about Luo Quan's new English album for a long time, but he has been embarrassed to ask her, after all, they still have to make a debut album for the program group.

Luo Quan nodded: "Yes, I didn't have any equipment in the capital before, so I happened to have equipment here, so I borrowed it by the way."

"Have you contacted the Xuanfa company?"

"Do you still need to announce the company?" Luo Quan was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it enough to post a Weibo?"

Zhou Yangwen said with a smile: "With your reputation, you can indeed get attention without a publicity company, but after all, it is still not as direct as a professional company taking over.

Besides, besides publicity, other issues such as sales channels, fan benefits, album cover, and MV also need to be resolved. Can you handle it all by yourself? "

"I probably won't shoot the MV, but for the album cover, I need to prepare well." Luo Quan also smiled as he said this: "Mr. Zhou, I understand what you mean. I will definitely choose Penguin Music for this album in China. For the first release...if you are willing to buy domestic copyrights."

"2000 million, I want the permanent exclusive authorization of your new album in China!" Zhou Yangwen was very bold, and gave an unimaginable sky-high price.

"In addition, the album sales platform can give you a [-]-[-] share. This is already the share of top domestic singers. No one can give you more!" Zhou Yangwen is very confident, and he feels that Luo Quan has no reason to reject him.

Luo Quan really has no reason. From the very beginning of contact, Zhou Yangwen has always expressed goodwill towards her, and he has been looking forward to the cooperation between the two parties for a long time. Now that she has just released the news, the latter has given such a high authorization fee. This sincerity is already very great.

"I hope we can cooperate happily." Luo Quan stretched out his hand, and Zhou Yangwen smiled and held it.

"But I have a small request."

"Tell me." Luo Quan's expression remained unchanged.

"You and I both hope that this album can sell a good number. I really believe in the quality of your songs, but it is an album anyway. It is not justified without an MV. Can you shoot a song? After all This can also be regarded as the first time you have filmed an official MV since your debut."

Luo Quan let go of his hand, thought for a while, and said, "It's possible, but can I decide how to shoot at that time?"

"Are you still going to be a director?" Zhou Yangwen's eyes widened.

Luo Quan couldn't laugh or cry: "Of course not. No matter how talented you are, you can't know everything. I just have some ideas. As for whether they are good or not, I have to shoot them to know."

"No problem!" Zhou Yangwen nodded in agreement, "By the way, are you going to record a song now? Do you need me to contact some music producers to help?"

Luo Quan asked: "If someone comes to help, you have to pay, right?"

Zhou Yangwen laughed: "If it's you, it's free."

Luo Quan waved his hand: "Forget it then. It's too careless to ask others to help without paying. I can handle the music production by myself, and I don't need to bother others."

Zhou Yangwen nodded: "Then... okay, I'll arrange for people to prepare for the publicity work, your first title song is ready..."

"It can be handed over tonight." Luo Quan's tone was very firm.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Zhou Yangwen said comfortably.

It’s a pleasure to work with this kind of star, you don’t need to worry about anything, you just need to do a good job on the Internet and listen to it. They are straightforward and don’t bargain with you. Unlike some other stars, they don’t have big wrists. The spectrum presented is not small.

After the two of them smiled goodbye, Luo Quan came to the recording studio after going round and round.

After all, it is a film and television center, there are not many recording studios here, there are only four, and it seems that there are people in each of them.

Luo Quan looked outside, and seemed to be quite busy.

Fortunately, it wasn't very late, so it's okay to wait here for a while.

Fortunately, Luo Quan was seen by "acquaintances".

In fact, I can't call them acquaintances, but only met once and said a few words.

This acquaintance is Cao Mufeng who received the award with Luo Quan last time on Weibo Night.

He had just finished recording a line of lyrics and took off his earphones to take a break when he suddenly saw Luo Quan standing outside, so he got up and walked out.

Several producers in the room looked at him, wondering why he stopped recording suddenly.

"Luo Quan?" Cao Mufeng called out to Luo Quan who was having fun, and the latter suddenly raised his head: "It's you, what a coincidence!"

Cao Mufeng was curious: "You also came here to record songs?"

"Yes, but it seems that there are people."

Cao Mufeng invited her: "Come to my room, I don't have a few words here anyway, I'll take over after recording."

Of course Luo Quan would not refuse such a good thing, he said thank you in a cheerful mood, and then walked in.

The recording studio is actually divided into two parts, one is relatively isolated from the outside world, and is very quiet, responsible for singers singing and recording inside, and the other is the production room near the door, responsible for producing accompaniment and dialogue Adjust and modify the recorded sound.

After walking in, Luo Quan stayed in the production room, and Cao Mufeng, who was going to take a rest for a while, also walked into the recording studio and continued to work.

Although Luo Quan usually records a whole song in one go, it is actually very rare in the music circle to record a song like her. Some people record two or three sentences and stop for a while, while others record one sentence at a time.

The latter are generally those traffic stars who have good singing skills. After singing a complete song and recording it, even a top tuner will feel that it is impossible to modify it at all, in other words, it cannot be used at all.

So we can only let these people record sentence by sentence, try to make the breath and tone reach the level that can be heard, and then they will tune and edit in the later stage.

Because it takes too much time to record a sentence, such a song often takes a whole day to record, and sometimes it can't be finished.

Of course, Cao Mufeng is definitely not a traffic star. Before Luoquan appeared, he was second to none among young domestic musicians in terms of creative talent and singing skills.

The reason why he recorded this time is that the song is relatively difficult, and the studio version must be perfect, so he used this method to record.

In the music production room, Luo Quan also folded her arms to watch Cao Mufeng singing alone in the recording studio. She didn't have many headphones, so she couldn't hear anything.

As for the two producers sitting in front of them, one moves the mouse on the computer, clicks here and there, while the other moves his hands on a platform full of buttons.

However, the frequency of operations between the two is not particularly frequent. It seems that Cao Mufeng's singing voice does not need to be adjusted a lot.

After recording for about 10 minutes, Cao Mufeng walked out of the recording studio, his face flushed because of the high-pitched sound just now.

After the song was recorded, the two producers saved it after simple adjustments.

A song is definitely not so easy to produce, and the post-production requires at least two hours of work by two people. Isn't this to make room for Luo Quan.

However, Cao Mufeng did not turn around and leave, but stayed in the music production room, and said to Luo Quan: "I have always heard that your song production is extremely fast, and a song does not exceed three hours from recording to final completion." , I've always been curious, don't you mind if I stay and take a look?"

"Of course I don't mind." Luo Quan has nothing to hide. After all, the craft of song making can't be learned by just looking at it. Besides, it's not a unique secret book, and she's not afraid of being learned by Cao Mufeng.

First of all, it is to create an accompaniment for the song to be recorded.

The title song of the English album she is going to record, the accompaniment is basically based on the piano, with a slow rhythm and no difficulty.

However, there is no piano in the recording studio, only an electronic organ, and the timbre of the electronic organ cannot meet Luo Quan's requirements, so the only option is to use computer software for synthesis.

Then the three of them saw Luo Quan wearing headphones, clicking on the simulated piano keys on the computer, playing a melody with one hand.

The whole melody lasted about four minutes. Luo Quan adjusted the speed of the melody, listened to it again, and saved and transmitted it directly after confirming that there was no problem.

"That's it?" Cao Mufeng said in surprise when he saw Luo Quan who took off his earphones and stood up. Not only him, but the two producers behind him also thought it was outrageous.

"The accompaniment is just such a piece of piano music? Are there too few elements?" Cao Mufeng asked. He is a standard academic school, and many academic schools judge whether the music is good or not based on how much she arranges. The change of sex and the diversity of timbre are carried out.

A high-quality, musical song often has many changes in melody, rich accompaniment and arrangement, and the lyrics and music are secondary.

And the accompaniment produced by Luo Quan only has one piano piece from beginning to end, even if it is a demo (song sample), would it be too sloppy?
Luo Quan smiled: "A good song is never determined by the number of its elements, the one that suits it is the best."

Cao Mufeng felt like being struck by thunder, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Do me a favor, play the accompaniment for me when I'm recording the song." Luo Quan said as he walked into the recording studio.

Cao Mufeng took a deep breath, put on his earphones, and sat upright.

PS. Everyone can guess this English song. Tip: The voice of the person who sings it is very recognizable, and has won numerous awards in the past ten years.
