From yearning to entertainment master

Chapter 24 The Red Wolves
At nine o'clock in the evening, Mr. Huang brought Ye Mingxuan to a recording studio. The boss and Mr. Huang have been friends for many years. They were talking about old times and joking with each other.

"Old Huang, you are good at growing your stomach. It wasn't that big last time. How many months has it been?" the recording studio boss joked.

Teacher Huang is not to be outdone. "Old Cao, why is your hair getting less and less? I think it won't be long before you will be the same as Zheng Zi."

The owner of the recording studio, surnamed Cao, is a middle-aged man, tall and thin, but a little bald.Listening to the conversation between the two, Ye Mingxuan knew that it was Mr. Huang who recorded the songs when he released the record.At that time, it was in another company, but now it is my own company.

Ye Mingxuan stood quietly by the side without interrupting. He couldn't be as casual with outsiders as he was with Mr. Huang and Mr. He. When Mr. Huang introduced him, Ye Mingxuan stepped forward and introduced himself respectfully. "Hello, Mr. Cao, I'm Ye Mingxuan, a newcomer."

"Old Cao, Xiaoxuan is my most proud disciple, you should take so much trouble. If there are any flaws when recording the song later, don't be polite, just tell me directly." Teacher Huang emphasized.

"Don't worry, I've heard this kid's song, he's a good seed, he must follow the highest requirements. He won't waste his singing voice and talent, don't you worry about me?" Boss Cao was not polite at all. "I'll do it myself in a while."

Bringing Ye Mingxuan to Yilian's recording studio, Teacher Huang said goodbye to Boss Cao. Teacher Huang still had his own affairs to deal with, so he left without staying.

"I'll call you Xiaoye, okay?"

"Yes, Mr. Cao, you can say."

"You sing a cappella first, and I'll listen."

"Without any equipment?"

Boss Cao nodded, "Don't be so polite, you can call me Lao Cao or Uncle Cao just like Mr. Huang. I'll listen to the tone while singing a cappella."

Ye Mingxuan respectfully agreed, and sang a letter from home.

After listening to it, Lao Cao pondered for a while, a little undecided. "Sing the other one too."

After Ye Mingxuan sang about an ordinary day, he waited for Lao Cao's evaluation.

Lao Cao thought for a while, "Let's record an ordinary day first. Do you have your own ideas about the accompaniment?"

Ye Mingxuan shook his head. He can sing and play musical instruments, and it's no problem to have music accompaniment, but he's not good enough to re-accompani the song.

"Then let me talk about my thoughts? The melody of this song is relatively flat. The whole song basically has no big ups and downs. The main accompaniment is just a guitar. There is no need for other bells and whistles. Using a harmonica at the beginning will make people feel Comfort and peace of mind. That’s it for the main body, let’s try it first.”

After Lao Cao finished his speech, he called the band for the accompaniment, "To make a long story short, the Red Wolf band is not very famous, but they are all really playing music. They are very talented. There is no score for the accompaniment. Everyone, be prepared to be troubled. I probably already have an idea, don’t need the drummer, go get an acoustic guitar with better sound, Xiaoxuan, you are also in charge of an acoustic guitar, Xiao Chen, you are in charge of the main guitar part, others find a starting point, the melody is simple One point, don't suppress the sound of the lead guitar. Okay, let's try it first."

Everyone took their instruments and got ready, Lao Cao was the youngest to start.

After going through it once, Lao Cao was very angry and confused, "Xiao Chen, what's wrong with your lead guitar? Why is it suppressed by the accompaniment guitar? Xiaoxuan, your accompaniment guitar rhythm is a little fast, you must slow down, remember Are you staying?"

After three attempts, the effect was still unsatisfactory, and Lao Cao fell into deep thought.

"Xiao Chen, switch with Xiao Xuan. You can't hold down Xiao Xuan's accompaniment, and you follow Xiao Xuan's rhythm as you walk. You are the lead guitar, and he is the backing guitar. This is definitely not possible."

Lao Cao pondered for a while, "The guitar is also replaced, the lead guitar is replaced by a folk guitar, the accompaniment guitar is a classical guitar, and the most authentic sound is used. Bring all the best radio microphones, no pickups, and record directly. OK Now, try again, Xiaoxuan, you use the acoustic guitar to take charge of the lead part."

This time it worked much better.Lao Cao was quite satisfied, "Just follow this, everyone will record a few more times."

After recording more than ten times in a row, Lao Cao clapped his hands in satisfaction, "Thank you for your hard work, the accompaniment is OK, and the next step is to record the song. I will fix the audio track first. Xiaoye, order some supper for everyone Send it here. Everyone has been with you until late at night, so you should also express it."

Lao Cao was repairing the sound track on the console, Ye Mingxuan and the Red Wolf band were young people who love music, and they chatted together soon.We ate the supper delivered by the takeaway together and chatted about music. The more we knew about the Red Wolf band, the more strange it became.They all have real skills, why is there no red?
The drummer of the band is surnamed Wang, and his name is Wang Jun. He has long hair and dyed it red. He looks like a delinquent boy, but he is actually very shy. "Xiaoxuan, can I call you that too? Our band and a Xiao Xianrou got into some disputes. His father is a big boss in the entertainment industry. He has spoken out and made us unable to get along in the industry. It means that Boss Cao is a good person and willing to take us in. Otherwise, we Red Wolf will have to disband It's gone." Wang Jun was the youngest in the band, and said with a look of resentment.

Ye Mingxuan frowned, "The father of this little fresh meat is so powerful?"

The leader of the band, that is, Xiao Chen, named Chen Ting, looks quite normal, and he is the oldest in the band.He was relatively calm, and when he said this, he also looked helpless, "That little fresh meat sang at a music festival. We accompanied him. Everything was fine. He asked to play and sing by himself. He couldn't even play a simple chord. Well, I was still enjoying myself on the stage, but Xiao Wang just said to him, don’t be ashamed on the stage if you don’t have the skills. We were told afterwards that we were not allowed to participate in many music festivals, even bars They didn’t keep the station.”

"He messes around on the stage, and we are so embarrassed next to him. What's wrong with Xiao Wang talking about him?" The bass player is a girl named Chen Yao, and Chen Ting is brother and sister.

"We quarreled several times, and almost disbanded. Later, Boss Cao found us and was willing to give us a bite to eat." Speaking of what happened before, Chen Ting looked sad.

"Our Red Wolf Band really likes music. As long as we can play music, have something to eat, and not starve to death, everyone will be satisfied." Chen Yao laughed at herself. "Whether it's popular or not, we don't dare to hope for it. As long as we can continue to play music, we will be happy."

Ye Mingxuan quietly listened to the words of the few people.

"I have a studio. If you don't mind, follow me. I'm just a small third-tier artist now. It depends on whether you want it or not."

The band leader Chen Ting showed gratitude, but still shook his head. "We are still being banned. If we are behind the scenes now, he won't know, but if we move to the front stage, it will implicate you."

"Then you have underestimated Xiaoxuan. Xiaoxuan's studio, Lao Huang and Mr. He both have shares. As long as it is not from the official power, there is no problem. If you want to go, go, trapped in my small recording studio What's the future?" Lao Cao, who had repaired the sound track, sat down and ate supper with everyone. "Okay, don't say those thankful and provocative words, I don't care about Lao Cao. I can't trap you here. How many young people in the circle really devote themselves to making music? It's time to let you out. Our generation I'm old, I can't play anymore, and I can't just watch the music decline."

The eyes of the members of the Red Wolf Band were all red. Just as they were about to say something, Lao Cao waved his hands, "Hurry up and eat, and we have to record songs after dinner. It's already past one o'clock in the morning. Try to record two songs tonight." Record the song."

After supper, everyone's fighting spirit was high again.
