Chapter 90 Recording the Cantonese version
Zheng Zilin is a fast player. Unlike Wang Xu, a copied fast player, she is really fast.
When Wang Fei called, she learned that she had completed the task and was about to send it to them.
In 15 days, she had finished writing all 8 songs. This efficiency was simply outrageous.
However, the people in Hong Kong at that time were really incredibly efficient. A movie took two weeks, and a TV series took less than two months. These are classic cases that will be familiar to everyone in later generations.
A task often takes just a moment from being issued to being executed. There were still a large number of hard-working and willing young people in Xiangjiang at that time. Working hard and struggling were all the chicken soup of the young people of that era, and they were quite energetic after drinking them.
of.
Therefore, when Wang Fei heard that Zheng Zilin had finished writing eight songs, Wang Fei was not surprised at all, and Wang Xu only felt that it was normal. There are so many great people these days, and this one is not missing.
Didn't you see that the sound engineer is about to put incense on Wang Xu and Wang Fei, and then bring a god? Friends who at most make people think that they are gods are also gods.
Now that everything was done, Wang Fei glanced at Wang Xu and decided to pull Zheng Zilin over. Neither of their Cantonese was standard. Wang Xu even stumbled a little. He said slowly that it was okay, and if he spoke a little faster, it would be fine.
Messy.
Zheng Zilin has been Wang Fei's language coach before. Her Cantonese is definitely no problem, so let her continue to be the language coach.
As a result, the production team finally added new members, including a language coach in addition to the sound engineer.
This kind of name can be put on the record, but of course you have to pay for it. The production cost of this record was borne by Xinyibao. The production budget of 1 million Hong Kong dollars is not high, and it is not very low.
Low.
In the final analysis, Xinyibao still doesn’t know the production capabilities of the little-known Wang Xu and Wang Fei. The producers of this album include Wang Fei, and they both serve as co-producers.
This production trip cost 300,000 yuan to rent the recording studio and 50,000 yuan for the recording engineer. Not counting the later share, Wang Xu 300,000 yuan, Wang Fei 100,000 yuan, and Zheng Zilin 10,000 yuan, plus some consumables, tape costs, etc., it was tight.
It's barely enough, maybe I can save some for a MV.
As for more MVs, I have no money now, so I can only wait until the video is released to see the effect, and then decide whether to make more. As a producer who has not proven himself, this is the only way.
After calculating the time, the recording studio was rented for a month and there was still half a month left to use. Wang Fei and Wang Xu discussed it and decided to record more and make a Cantonese version. It could be completed in one go and it would be easier to grasp the style.
.
You can go back to Xinyibao and ask for another production fee for the Cantonese version.
Zheng Zilin came very quickly. In less than an hour, she came over with the lyrics. When she came, she apologized profusely, saying that she actually planned to deliver it today, but she didn't expect you to call first. She acted like I was slow, it was me.
Stupid expression.
Well, the people in Xiangjiang are really hard-working now. As long as they are not the kind of stupid and discriminatory people, the people in Xiangjiang are not that difficult to contact.
But there is a group of inexplicable people who are full of superiority. They discriminate against this and that, and no one looks down on them. They are just using it to cover up their own humbleness and shallowness.
On the other hand, those who are truly talented and capable do not discriminate against each other and treat everyone as equals. Those are the wise people who know that there are people outside of others. Humility is not only a virtue, but also the way to survive as an individual.
Zheng Zilin's lyrics are quite wonderful. I have to say that Wang Xu is a bit underestimated. Being unknown in the future does not mean that he has no strength.
Although you definitely won’t be able to get ahead if you don’t have the strength, but if you can’t get ahead, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have no strength. Dialectics is true and I won’t bully you.
Although it is in Cantonese, it makes Wang Xu look a little awkward. Of course, this is not to blame Zheng Zilin. Who makes Wang Xu's Cantonese so bad? But the temperament in the song is really nailed by Zheng Zilin, and she is full of talent.
No exaggeration.
But that part of rap, Wang Xu felt very strange, but it's right when you think about it, there is no such thing as rap in the Cantonese music industry now.
The year before last, Mr. Lin played a song and put it on the album. The response was mediocre. It was new, but not many people liked it. However, the song in which Mr. Lin read numbers in a variety show later became a hit.
It seems that most of the Cantonese rap bosses in later generations were from Guangdong. Oh, by the way, there are also some in Xiangjiang, but they were too vulgar and had too many swear words and were banned.
There is also a Filipino who has taken up the banner of Cantonese rap and said everywhere that he is from Xiangjiang. In his previous life, Wang Xu had listened to his songs. How can I put it, he was not as good as those Cantonese guys. This thing
It’s really not something you can do just by combing dirty braids and wearing a nose ring.
Chinese RAP is more difficult to write than English. English only has two sounds, which are almost the same and can be mixed, so any punk can rap a few sentences.
The four tones of Mandarin Chinese are a lot more troublesome. You need to rhyme, you need tones and tones to match the rhythm, so that your rap can have a comfortable rhythm and not sound like chanting sutras.
Fatty Zhou sings rap with a vague tone not only because it makes him look awkward, but also often because the tone of the words he writes does not match.
The main reason why Cantonese RAP is difficult to do is because Cantonese has too many tones, 9 tones and 6 tones. Speaking is like singing. But the problem is that it is about speaking, so if you don’t pay attention, you will
It will give people a weird feeling, it doesn't sound like speaking, and it doesn't feel like singing when singing.
If you want to sing Cantonese RAP well, first of all, your Cantonese level is very high. You have to know very well which words can be sung in the wrong key, so that you can glide over in a vague way without making people think that you are being deceived.
thing.
Then the lyrics must be well written, giving full play to the natural rhythm of Cantonese tones, matching the rhythm, and not conflicting with the melody.
Fortunately, there are not many RAP sentences, and you can always polish them out if you work with Zheng Zilin, and not all of them are RAP.
The recording this time was smooth for Wang Fei, but a little stuttered for Wang Xu. The rest was very simple, because except for a few arrangement changes, most of the songs didn't have much change in arrangement.
Because Zheng Zilin wrote new words according to the meaning of the original lyrics, or she is still very capable. This is simply a propositional composition among propositional compositions.
Therefore, Wang Xu did not need to re-record many audio tracks, most of the original ones were still usable, and the adjusted accompaniment part was completed in just a few hours.
Although Wang Fei's Cantonese is not very good, she has recorded three albums after all, so she is no stranger to singing in Cantonese. Under the guidance of Zheng Zilin, she quickly mastered the singing.
Wang Xu, on the other hand, had a bigger head. It took him two days to learn the rap alone, and it took him three days to learn the choruses properly.
During this process, it wasn't just Wang Xu who had a big head, Zheng Zilin also felt a big head.
After seeing Wang Xu's amazing skills in arranging and accompaniment, Zheng Zilin already regarded Wang Xu as a myth. But when he taught Wang Xu Cantonese sentence by sentence, Wang Xu's status suddenly changed.
fell down.
It was simply grinding sentence after sentence, word after word, so that Wang Xu's Cantonese could not be understood as being sung by an outsider.
By the time all the songs were recorded, 25 days had passed quietly.
I apologize to all the judges.
Chapter 10 has been greatly changed. Please refresh it and take a look. Fortunately, it is not on the shelves and does not involve any cost issues.
The part about the original lyricist was deleted, and an original character was added, mainly lyricists of this era, who were either out of reach of the protagonist, or impossible to make an album together, a new song writer, changed gender,
Too many associations are saved.
The entertainment industry is collapsing too fast. I haven’t paid attention to a person for several years, but it can collapse so completely all of a sudden.
It's up to engineering students to save it.
Chapter completed!
