Chapter 346 The True Master

In the recording studio, Liao Yuan raised his arms, and the bow quickly began to play on the strings.

When the first melody flooded into his mind, Hou Kangsheng was stunned. Before he could recover, the successive melodies were like a storm, tilting into his eardrums.

Ohh Ohh ohh--

"Fuck!"

Hou Kangsheng was shocked: "What style is this?"

The usual way of playing the violin is long and melodious, very touching, but Liao Yuan's way of playing seems to be a cramp patient. The bow in his right hand rests on the strings, and he keeps twitching. The melody seems to be playing. Yes, repeating the same rhythm after another.

but……

Hou Kangsheng couldn't believe it, "Why does it sound so exciting!"

He really opened his eyes today.

The song played by Liao Yuanla is called "Hello". It is an electronic music divine song that has been popular all over the world in his previous life. It is also the debut work of the original author OMFG. and other major network platform homepages, as well as loop playback buttons for electronic music lovers around the world.

Relying on the cheap and cute music style and the magical brainwashing accompaniment vocals, OMFG, Alan Walker and Tez Kedi are called the three masters of the new generation of electronic music by music fans.

The tunes that Liao Yuan plays on the violin are not authentic, because he was not very keen on electronic music in his previous life, so he only vaguely remembers a small part of the melody, and the croaking frogs in the original song can be said to be very brainwashing. Liao Yuan is unforgettable for a long time.

So, after playing for a minute or two, Liao Yuan put down the violin and looked at Hou Kangsheng in the control room.

The latter opened his mouth, and the shocked look still remained on his face. After wiping his saliva, he quickly lowered his head, put on the monitor earphones, and quickly started fiddling with the electronic music synthesizer.

He edited some simple drum beats at the first time, and after making a sub-bass, he began to write some simple bottom basses to strengthen the rhythm. Then, he quickly edited the chords he heard from Liao Yuan , and finally fill in the gaps with some arpeggios.

And this is just the first step...

In order to show his ability, Hou Kangsheng tried his best to write chords in front of the computer.

After more than half an hour, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, touched the sweat on his forehead, raised his head, and said to Liao Yuan and others: "It's done!"

Liao Yuan was surprised, and said with a smile, "It's pretty fast."

"Just a sample!"

Hou Kangsheng was a little embarrassed: "It may not meet your ideal requirements."

"It's okay." Liao Yuan looked at the time on the watch: "Let's start!"

Hou Kangsheng was very excited, and was very grateful to Liao Yuan for spending an hour on himself.

Of course, Liao Yuan is not idle, but Hou Kangsheng has a special status. If he was just a simple trainee, Liao Yuan would not be able to spend so much energy. After all, he is the son of the director of CCTV...

Director Zong Xu said it so shamelessly, if he didn't take care of it, wouldn't it be a shame for others?

That is to say, even if Hou Kangsheng is just a fool, he still has to take care of him a little politely and make superficial appearances.

This is the benefit of being born in a wealthy family, and it is also the biggest reality.

Sometimes, hard work is not enough.

Just like not many people know that Bill Gates' mother was one of the largest IBM chief directors at the time, and not many people know that Buffett's father was a member of Congress at the time.

What's more, in Liao Yuan's view, apart from his innate family background, Hou Kangsheng's own talent in music can still be shaped a little bit.

Of course, in terms of appearance, Hou Kangsheng might not be able to be an idol singer.

At this time, under the watchful eyes of Liao Yuan and others, Hou Kangsheng excitedly turned on the effector. The first thing that sounded was a pleasant wind chime, and then, his right hand began to operate on a Midi keyboard.

Liao Yuan was a little surprised when the familiar chord sounded.

Although it has not achieved a true restoration of the gods, the electronic music that pours into the ears is [-] to [-]% similar to the divine comedy "Hello".

In addition, in order not to make the electronic sound appear monotonous, Hou Kangsheng also connected an external microphone, and began to sing along with the metronome using ventriloquist: "Crack! Crack! Cack! Cack..."

Lou Wenxing was dumbfounded, and even Brallen became excited.

Our little yellow croakers are all talented people. How can a random trainee, who is not well-known, be able to operate like this?
After 1 minute has elapsed, the music fades away.

Hou Kangsheng's tongue was numb because of this demo song, and now he began to look at Liao Yuan with anticipation, wanting to hear the comments of this great electronic music master.

"It's not bad." Liao Yuan was a little surprised. This guy's sudden croaking was obviously self-taught: "However, we need to pay more attention to some details..."

This sentence is not aimless. Hou Kangsheng has put in a lot of effort for this electronic music, but after all, the production time is too short, so it sounds a bit monotonous in some places. Of course, after the follow-up integration, it will definitely be another electronic music divine song.

"What do you think?"

Liao Yuan suddenly asked Lou Wenxing and Bralen.

Lou Wenxing scratched his head: "Boss, I'm telling the truth! I prefer quieter songs. I personally think this kind of song is a bit noisy, but it sounds really exciting, and I think it's very suitable for nightclubs!"

Brallen, however, had a different attitude. He was completely passionate, "God, this is amazing! Awesome!"

An American with a lack of English vocabulary is like a foreigner, and then when everyone is not paying attention, another poem enters the soul:
"Your Excellency, why don't you follow the wind and soar up to [-] li?"

I wipe?

Hou Kangsheng looked at Brallen, a little surprised, this foreigner can also recite poems?

However, this flattery was very useful to him. Hou Kangsheng readily shook hands with Brallen and touched his shoulders at the same time.

At this time, Liao Yuan asked with a smile: "What do you think of this song?"

"Of course...one word, awesome!" Hou Kangsheng said modestly.

Liao Yuan said: "This is two words."

Hou Kangsheng chuckled, "Anyway, Brother Yuan, am I qualified?"

"Qualified."

Liao Yuan said with a smile: "In terms of electronic music production, you still have some strength..."

"Haha, I knew it, you brought me to the recording studio, you must want to test me! Fortunately, I am strong, hahaha!"

Hou Kangsheng was extremely proud. After all, he was a 20-year-old boy. Although he had dreams in his heart, his nature was still childish.

Liao Yuan didn't know the so-called: "You try to fill in the follow-up details yourself, can you complete it?"

"This..." Hou Kangsheng came back to his senses, a little embarrassed: "I've never seen the style of this piece of music before, and I feel that I'm a bit incompetent. Brother Yuan, why don't you finish it!"

"Let go and do it." Liao Yuan said indifferently: "In addition to this song, I will play another one on the piano later. There are two electronic music songs in total. These are the winter homework I left for you. After a few years, I will I hope to see two mature electronic music songs, can they be completed?"

As soon as the words fell, Liao Yuan added another sentence: "If you can complete these two electronic music songs, let them be your debut works!"

Hou Kangsheng was stunned.

Suddenly, a hot current poured into his heart, making his whole body warm.

His eyes were slightly red, and he kept nodding: "It can be done, it will definitely be done!"

Even in 2022, electronic music is still not a mature market, and it is destined to be classified as niche music. Therefore, Liao Yuan did not expect to make money from Hou Kangsheng, but more to take care of his father's face The second is to support the ideals of young people.

Hou Kangsheng was so moved that he was about to cry. He joined the trainee army a month ago, rehearsing day and night, physical and mental fatigue, which made him gradually numb to his dream, almost suspicious and completely denied himself.

Although his B-box ability is outstanding, but because of his family background and personal reasons, he doesn't really want to be a rapper in front of the stage. Music fans share electronic music.

And now, the opportunity has come!

According to what Liao Yuan meant, it was to let Hou Kangsheng open up a battlefield on the Internet. Although the audience of electronic music works is small, that is only for Huaxia. , is definitely a terrifying number.

To put it simply, Liao Yuan wants Hou Kangsheng to open up a world-class battlefield and promote electronic music works on major social platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Weibo, and Twitter.

Music knows no borders, and this is especially true for pure electronic music works like this. If you can't eat fish in a pond and enter the sea, as long as you work hard, are you afraid you won't get anything?

The second electronic song played by Liao Yuan is called "You". In his previous life, it was the earliest famous work of the overseas independent underground electronic music production group "Invasion of Paradise". .12th place, this result is not easy to obtain, because all the world-class electronic music masters were selected in the list at the same time, and the song has also won many world-class electronic music competition championships.

This time, Liao Yuan played with an electronic organ.

The so-called world-class pianist, in Hou Kangsheng's view, is very different from ordinary people.

For example, Liao Yuan at this time, when he was playing, the light radiating from his whole body seemed to be the glow of the rising sun, which was extremely brilliant, and it even made him cry.

The rhythm of this song changes from slow to fast, and the melody is clear. Compared with the heterogeneity of "Hello", the song "You" is obviously an electronic music work in the public's ideal.

Hou Kangsheng suddenly understood Liao Yuan's deep intention.

The song "Hello" will undoubtedly help him open up the electronic music market and make him quickly famous in the world's electronic music industry, while "You" can shut up those trolls who question the new generation of electronic music.

The more Hou Kangsheng thought about it, the more moved he became, the more moved he was, tears began to flow.

But it was obvious that Hou Kangsheng was thinking too much.

Liao Yuan just took care of the kid a little for the sake of Zong Xu and Master Hou's face.

But at this moment, he was concentrating on playing, and he didn't notice Hou Kangsheng who was so grateful and died for his confidant.

The memory he is now struggling with.

Although the song "You" has many repetitive melodies, but in his previous life, he didn't pay much attention to this type of work, so like "Hello", Liao Yuan could only vaguely recall a rough chord.

The rest depends entirely on his own piano skills over the years to play along with the trend.

For a mature electronic music producer, as long as he gets a central melody, it is like getting a perfect skeleton. As for the filling of flesh and blood, it is only a matter of time.

So Liao Yuan was not worried that Hou Kangsheng would change the song beyond recognition.

After listening to the adaptation of "Hello", Liao Yuan knew that Hou Kangsheng is a person who really loves electronic music.

No one wants to spoil a dream if it has the chance to come true.

Soon, the second piece of music was played.

Liao Yuan didn't check Hou Kangsheng's adaptation again, because there were still some things to deal with, so he didn't stay in the company for a long time. For him, taking advantage of the situation to take care of Hou Kangsheng was already the end of his kindness.

The so-called master leading the door to practice is an individual, Liao Yuan has already planted the seeds for him, as for whether Hou Kangsheng will be able to soar into the sky in the future, it all depends on his own good fortune

After recording all the melodies, Hou Kangsheng sent Liao Yuan out respectfully, then quickly returned to the recording studio, and sent the two electronic music demos to his mobile phone via data, saying goodbye to the two recorders After the division, he quickly returned to the locker room, changed his clothes, and walked towards the destination in his heart.

As he walked, he took out his mobile phone and yelled in the WeChat group: "Assemble, gather at the old place!"

His father is the director of CCTV, which caused Hou Kangsheng to come into contact with different things from ordinary people. For example, in this WeChat group, there are all the second-generation officials and rich second-generations in the capital. They all have a common hobby. The incomparable love for electronic music, this kind of love, has almost reached the level of fanaticism.

Of course, those who do not love electronic music will not be in this group.

"What's the matter, little brother? Didn't you run Little Yellow Fish as a trainee? There is still time to gather?"

"That's right, isn't trainee time very tight? Brother Sheng, did you give up?"

"Hey, I knew that this grandson was just trying to get angry with us, so how could he persist!"

"I'm afraid he was kicked out of the company because he didn't even see Liao Yuan? Haha!"

"Liao Yuan doesn't understand electronic music at all. He only plays the piano. He is now named the god of electronic music, but he got it through our adaptation. His title is not worthy of the name at all!"

"Yes, brother Sheng, you should come back! You won't learn anything there..."

"Grass mud horse, what are you talking about, hurry up and gather!"

This is an abandoned factory on the edge of the imperial capital.

When Hou Kangsheng drove here, more than a dozen sports cars had already gathered here. The headlights of the cars were dazzlingly bright in broad daylight. Hou Kangsheng got out of the car.

"Hey, Brother Sheng, I haven't seen you in a month, where's your flowing red hair?"

"Brother Sheng has changed, so he's not moving anymore?"

"You don't fit in, Brother Sheng!"

A group of people mocked Hou Kangsheng in a hurry. The latter didn't say much, just took out his mobile phone and played the two electronic songs "Hello" and "You".

After a long time, Hou Kangsheng looked at the dazed looks of these scumbags, and said indifferently: "Do you know? It doesn't mean that dyeing your hair and dancing around makes you really understand electronic music..."

"A true master always has the heart of an apprentice."
