They all say I'm a good wife

Chapter 237 Go straight to the recording studio
Qiu Ming had no objection to changing the title of the song, which immediately made Hu Rui heave a sigh of relief.

It seems that this young songwriter is still easy to talk to, at least he didn't put on a tough attitude when he first came up, directly rejecting his proposal.

"Thank you!"

After saying thank you, Hu Rui turned to Zou Xin and said, "Xinxin, didn't you have many questions you wanted to ask before you came? Qiu Ming is here now, so you can ask any questions you have."

Zou Xin next to her was a little dazed and didn't respond immediately.

Hu Rui was taken aback for a moment, and quickly nudged Zou Xin lightly with his elbow: "Xinxin, what's wrong with you?"

Zou Xin came back to her senses, looked at Hu Rui, then at Qiu Ming, as if she had just come to her senses, she was a little embarrassed and flustered and said, "Yes... I'm sorry, I was thinking of something else, and I was a little distracted gone."

Hu Rui doesn't know what's wrong with Zou Xin. This is the first official meeting with Qiu Ming, so this kind of performance is not good.

But in front of Qiu Ming, he couldn't say anything to Zou Xin, he could only say to Qiu Ming: "I'm sorry, Xinxin has been... well, there are a lot of things to do, and people are quite tired, forgive me .”

Qiu Ming has also seen Zou Xin being scolded on the Internet, and knows that Zou Xin has indeed been controversial during this period of time. When encountering such a thing, one can imagine the pressure behind it.

So, he waved his hand: "It's okay."

Then, he said to Zou Xin: "Teacher Zou Xin, do you have any questions about this song? You can ask directly, and I will try my best to answer you."

This is a customer who spent 100 million for him, of course patience is a must.

After all, as the old saying goes, customers are their parents, and they should be filial to their parents. Qiu Ming still understands this.

Hu Rui could see the sincerity in Qiu Ming's tone and demeanor, which immediately made him feel a little more fond of Qiu Ming. He only thought Qiu Ming was a nice person.

The relationship between people is based on each other. After getting along with each other a few times, Hu Rui felt that although Qiu Ming was young, no matter what he said or did, he gave him a very calm and reliable feeling, and he had already made up his mind to maintain it in the future. relationship with each other.

Zou Xin focused her attention back, thought about some of her previous questions about the song, and then began to ask the first question: "Mr. Xiaoming, thank you for writing this song for me. It's very good. I really appreciate it. I like it very much, but there are some things I don’t understand, the first point is about the second part, the rhythm of the lyrics has become a little faster, will this make the audience not understand the lyrics?”

After a slight pause, she added: "Although in the market now, many listeners don't care about the lyrics when listening to songs, but this is a love song. I think the lyrics are very important. The rhythm of the lyrics in the second paragraph is so fast. affect the emotional expression of the song.”

Qiu Ming thought for a while—in fact, he turned over the results of the "planned revision" in his mind, and then said: "Actually, this song has a progressive emotional process. The rhythm of the first verse will slow down. One point, it is mainly to brew emotions and accumulate energy for the explosion of the song later.

Then you said that the rhythm of the second verse is faster, because after the end of the first chorus, the emotion has been pushed to a relatively full point. If you want to push the emotion further, you can only change it. in a more incisive way.

Come on, take a look, for example, these sentences at the beginning of the second paragraph:
I used to see death as home for love.

I also set foot on mountains and rivers for you.

I died in recklessness, and I will be reborn in silence.

Then continue to run toward the stars in the sky..."

Qiu Ming started to talk, carefully explaining the feeling he got in his mind.

He has done this kind of thing many times, and he won't think about what he did when he changed Xu Jingrong's song for the first time. He always speaks things as slowly as possible, stumbling, so as not to reveal his secrets.

Facing Zou Xin now, he felt as if he was "pretending" at his fingertips.

Anyway, I just say it casually, and the specific points are said according to the things in my mind, and the things in the feeling are described in the virtual.

As for how Zou Xin understood, then he is not responsible.

As long as Zou Xin does what he said, after he comes out, he will only look at the overall feeling, if he is right, he will pass, if not, he will let Zou Xin adjust until he is satisfied.

To be honest, Qiu Ming enjoys being a producer now, and what he says in the recording studio is like an imperial decree, everyone has to listen to it and dare not disobey it.

In the room, everyone else listened quietly to Qiu Ming's words, especially Hu Rui and Zou Xin, who listened very carefully. Hu Rui even recorded it in a small notebook.

After Qiu Ming finished speaking blah blah, Zou Xin had a pensive look in her eyes, apparently digesting Qiu Ming's words.

She is really convinced of Qiu Ming now, because just from these words, it can be seen how deep Qiu Ming's understanding of music is.

This is not just about a song, it involves a lot of convenient things about music theory, arrangement, market trends, etc... Often just one sentence can give people a glimpse of the leopard, and see Qiu Ming's ability.

Zou Xin used to think that Qiu Ming was so young and able to write such good songs, mainly due to his grasp of trends and creative ability different from popular customs.

But after listening to Qiu Ming's words, she suddenly had a very strong feeling that this person is very powerful, belonging to the kind of power she has never seen before, and she can even use that very second-level word - deep and unbelievable measured to describe
Zou Xin was in a daze, unable to speak for a while.

Qiu Ming asked: "Teacher Zou Xin, do you have any other questions?"

Zou Xin did not respond.

Hu Rui was in a hurry by the side, what are he doing, he was distracted one after another, what kind of impression would he leave on Qiu Ming by doing this.

So, he quickly pushed his artist with his elbow again: "Xinxin, Xinxin..."

Zou Xin finally came back to her senses, looked at Hu Rui, then at Qiu Ming, only to see the questioning look in Qiu Ming's eyes.

Hu Rui said, "Xinxin, Qiu Ming asked if you have any other questions."

When he said this, he actually thought in his heart: Hurry up and say it’s okay, grandma, you’re not in the right state today, if you have any questions, you can ask them later, there’s no need to ask them now, otherwise, if you lose your mind like this, you’ll be fine. I'm really sorry.

But Zou Xin continued to ask: "Mr. Xiao Ming, I have another question..."

After listening to Zou Xin's question, Qiu Ming still searched for the answer in his mind as before, and then said it according to the book and added a little bit of personal play.

The two asked and answered in this way, and more than an hour passed in a short while.

Hu Rui listened beside him, fearing that his artiste would lose the chain.

Fortunately, after the previous two distractions, Zou Xin's performance was quite satisfactory, and nothing happened, which finally made him heave a sigh of relief.

It was impossible for Lin Xiaoxiao to wait all the time, she got up and said, "Why don't you talk, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Zou Xin thought for a while, and said, "That's all I have for now. If there is anything you don't understand, then ask again later. Thank you, Teacher Xiao Ming."

Qiu Ming waved his hand to indicate that it's okay: "If that's the case, let's go to the recording studio now, how about it?"

Hu Rui nodded: "Okay!"

Several people walked out together, and while walking, Qiu Ming said: "Let Teacher Zou Xin sing according to my previous rap, try to find the feeling."

Hu Rui and Zou Xin were startled when they heard this.

Zou Xin is a very experienced singer, and she is already very familiar with the process of recording songs in the studio.

Not to mention Hu Rui, he has a lot of artists under him, many of them have singers, even though he himself doesn't know much about music, he still knows how to record a song.

To put it bluntly, both of them are experts.

The normal process of recording a song is that the singer takes the song manuscript and first finds out how he feels. If he has any questions, he then seeks the help of the producer.

At the same time, the work of the producer and the recording studio is to arrange music, record music, etc., and then find singers to listen to music, audition, and record songs after all this is done.

There is no ten and a half months in it, and it is difficult to do everything well.

In other words, they just signed the contract yesterday and officially got the song draft. Today is purely a meeting between the singer and the songwriter to exchange some opinions on the song.

Such efficiency is really high.

Under normal circumstances, if the singer meets a songwriter who is not a big name, there is no meeting such a link.

Hu Rui and Zou Xin came here to chat with Qiu Ming about the song, and listen to Qiu Ming's creative ideas, so that Zou Xin can better master the song.

But now Qiu Ming actually said that he could try the song directly, which was simply unexpected to them.

Arrangement and music recording are done?
Since Qiu Ming told Zou Xin to audition, it should be done.

How can it be so fast?

Is this a joke?
Could it be that the music has already started before the contract is signed?
Hu Rui coughed lightly, and asked, "Qiu Ming, you mean, the arrangement... the music recording has already been done? Can Xinxin go to record the song today?"

Qiu Ming nodded: "It should be almost the same."

In fact, he didn't know how the recording studio was doing, but he sent him a message today, saying that the recording was basically done according to his requirements.

"So fast?"

Hu Rui couldn't believe it.

In fact, before signing the contract, Qiu Ming handed over his song draft to the recording studio and asked them to help start it.

Of course, he was only two days ahead of schedule, that is, as soon as the results of the planned revision came out, he immediately wrote the song script and sent it to the recording studio.

The engineers in the recording studio were familiar with him because of the online battle, and they knew his work style very well. When they saw his song draft, they didn't think too much about it, and immediately followed the rules in it. done it.

Anyway, they all know that Qiu Ming's song draft doesn't need to think too much, it has already included everything in it.

As long as you follow Qiu Ming's requirements step by step, you can make the song, and you don't even need to change it.

It is also because of this that the speed of the recording studio is very fast. Basically, it took two days to complete this new song.

This is because it is difficult to find the sound of a saxophone and a big leather drum in the song, and I can't even find a suitable one in the material library, so I was delayed.

Otherwise, it takes only one day for the recording studio to finish the song every minute.

Qiu Ming didn't explain much, and led Hu Rui and Zou Xin towards the recording studio.

When they came to the recording studio, the engineers had already been waiting. Seeing Qiu Ming enter, they all greeted each other: "Mr. Xiao Ming, you are here!"

When Hu Rui and Zou Xin saw this scene, they couldn't help thinking: His prestige here is really high!
You must know that even though they have been to the company's recording studio so many times and dealt with these engineers so many times, the other party just nodded when they saw them.

On the contrary, facing Qiu Ming, one by one, one teacher at a time, could not hide the respect on his face.

"I received a message yesterday saying that you have finished the song, let's play it and listen to it!"

Qiu Ming didn't put on airs either. After greeting those engineers, he said.

His lack of airs seems to be a kind of airs.

It seems that I am used to the way of getting along with these engineers at the upper and lower levels, and the engineers are also used to it.

Hearing Qiu Ming's words, a person immediately began to operate, and said while working, "Listen to see if it's okay, I'm afraid it doesn't meet your requirements."

Soon, a song played on the spot.

The sound of the music is very comfortable, and everyone can hear it.

But Qiu Ming still picked up the headset and put it on, and listened carefully.

Hu Rui and Zou Xin followed Qiu Ming. Although they didn't wear them, they could still hear them clearly. The music was very pleasant, even better than they had imagined.

More importantly, this piece is really finished, and it sounds rich in layers.

After just walking around like this, all the engineers looked at Qiu Ming, and seemed to be silently asking: "How is it? Is it okay?"

Qiu Ming thought about it, and then said: "There is a section in the middle, the drumbeat can be slowed down a bit, well, after the drumbeat, it's better to add a silent pause, that's even better."

"Okay, Teacher Xiaoming, I'll do it right away, just wait a moment..."

The engineer didn't have any doubts, and immediately buried himself in front of the computer to make it work.

Hu Rui and Zou Xin in the back watched this scene, and suddenly had a better understanding of Qiu Ming's position in the recording studio.

If they asked these engineers to modify the song in the past, let alone let them do it directly, even if they raised their mouths a little, they might get back a bunch of rhetorical questions.

But now that Qiu Ming just opened his mouth, these people did it without even thinking about it. It felt like they were completely treating themselves as tools, and they didn't even think about Qiu Ming's words.

This kind of "authority" is probably only a few big producers in the company.
