Chapter 132: First Test EDM (Part 1)
New Year and new atmosphere. Summarizing his life last year, Xu Lai felt that he had a dreamy life last year.
At the beginning of the year, I was discovered by a talent scout and went to S.M.com as a trainee. After practicing for six months, I suddenly made my debut. As soon as I debuted, I was hated and boycotted by millions of fans. There was no announcement or exposure for more than a month. Then I was picked up by my teacher Kenzie.
After being recommended to the crew of "begin again", he began to have a positive image, and his talent began to shine unmistakably.
Kenzie is his noble person and the driving force behind the turning point in his acting career.
How many noble people can a person have in his life? Fortunately, he met one when he was twenty years old.
He still remembers those people who helped him, including Kenzie, Lu Han, Park Chanyeol, Huang Zitao and Zhang Yixing, as well as Lin Yoona and the seniors he met while filming "begin agian".
He really felt that he was very lucky.
He and Henry had almost the same start. It took Henry five years to get better, but it only took him four months. Although people who didn't like him still didn't like him, there was a group of people around him who supported him.
, and the number of these people is increasing, which makes Xu Lai very happy.
It just means that he is not very qualified as an artist, does not communicate much with fans, and is still a little unfamiliar with them.
But having said that, Xu Lai was still working during the statutory holiday on January 1st, New Year's Day, and had to go to the program crew to record demos and conduct rehearsals, which was a bit strange.
After all, he had never done it in the past twenty years. He had only been working for a few months and it was the first time he worked on a legal holiday.
Xu Lai used to be a very conscious person and would not talk about work or study during holidays, but now it seems that being ready for work at any time is the most basic thing for an artist.
While recording the demo, he also met Zheng Jun and chatted with Zheng Jun about having to work on New Year's Day, which made Zheng Jun burst into laughter.
"You will get used to it in the future." Zheng Jun smiled and patted Xu Lai on the shoulder. It was obvious that the young man was not accustomed to his identity as an artist.
Forget about working during holidays, he has seen people who don’t have holidays all year round. What does this mean?
But they only talked about it for a few words before dropping the topic, and the topic between them returned to music.
"How is the song this time?" Zheng Jun crossed his arms and asked about Xu Lai's new song.
"This is my first attempt at a genre, with some electronic music elements added into it," Xu Lai said.
"Okay, Xiao Xu! Apply what you have learned, you are really awesome!" Zheng Jun gave Xu Lai a thumbs up when he heard what he said. He seemed to understand that Xu Lai only started to study electronic music seriously when he came here.
I should have been exposed to it before, but the efficiency of applying what I have learned is really too high? I have to admire it.
"Then I'll listen to you the day after tomorrow, Xiao Xu." Zheng Jun said with a smile.
"Okay? Then I will listen to you the day after tomorrow."
"OK!"
The two of them made a verbal agreement and quietly waited for the recording the day after tomorrow.
Is it relatively simple to record a demo? Is the rehearsal a little more troublesome? Xu Lai’s performance also needs the help of a harmony teacher, so it is considered a big event? So the rehearsal is a little more troublesome and takes more time.
…
All nine singers and songwriters were sitting in the studio, wishing each other a Happy New Year? Chatting about some interesting things, and even humming old songs together, or singing each other's songs, the atmosphere was very harmonious? It's just that
Hu Yanbin suddenly said something that ruined the atmosphere.
"Will the team of our re-singing program not be able to afford the copyright fee?"
Everyone was stunned for a while after hearing this. Then a burst of laughter broke out, and then fell silent amid the announcement from producer C.
"All the singer-songwriters have arrived, and the demo listening has officially begun! The first singer-songwriter who wants to showcase, please come!"
"Who comes first?" Chen Li asked with a smile, looking around at the singers and songwriters who were about to move.
"Teacher Zheng Jun? How about we go first?" Xu Lai leaned forward slightly and suggested to Zheng Jun.
"I can do it? It doesn't matter what the order is." Zheng Jun was still leaning on the back of the chair and looking very calm, with a faint smile on his face? He was just an amiable senior, and you couldn't tell how much he was when he was young.
Rebellion".
Although he plays rock music, Zheng Jun is also older now and has matured early.
"You come first, Xiao Xu!" Zheng Jun saw Xu Lai's eagerness to give it a try and pushed him directly, giving the young man a chance to show off.
He has been communicating with Xu Lai a lot recently, whether it is about music or life. He found that Xu Lai is a very interesting child. He is usually a kind and shy young man who loves to laugh.
When it comes to music, he becomes much more assertive, even a bit sharp.
There is a big difference between his attitude towards music and his attitude towards life, which is a very interesting contrast.
"Then I'll go!" Xu Lai responded with a smile, stood up from his seat, opened the door and went out, walked into the recording studio, put on his headphones and looked at everyone.
"This style is my first try, emmmmm... I quite like it myself, hehe~ ok, I can start."
After Xu said that the smile on his face dropped, a burst of synthesized piano sound sounded in the quiet studio.
This is a piano sound through an electronic synthesizer, which is much heavier than a pure piano instrument.
Moreover, the rhythm is very strong and the tone is urgent, which is not very similar to the style of Xu Lai's previous songs.
"am i out of touch
Have I become unapproachable?
am i out of my place
Have I strayed from myself in my heart?
when i keep saying that i'm looking for an empty space
When I keep trying to chase some paranoid dream that doesn’t exist.”
…
This song is heavier than Xu Lai's previous songs, so Xu Lai also made some adjustments to his singing voice to make the whole song appear fuller, but his vocal alone is not enough for the whole song.
It still looks a little thin, but it can hold up, but it's just not perfect.
So Xu Lai specially found a harmony teacher to assist in the performance.
But the other singer-songwriters didn't know it at all, but they also saw something.
Like Xu Lai's previous songs, there is nothing to say about the arrangement of his song. I can't hear the lyrics clearly and there are no subtitles. Let's not comment yet. His singing skills are not Xu Lai's shortcomings at all. Other singers and songwriters think Xu Lai this time
Maybe the vocals are a little thin in this song, after all, the song is quite grand.
But when it comes to this, I really have to mention Xu Lai’s genius.
They now really feel Xu Lai's genius, especially Sun Yizhou. Xu Lai was still discussing EDM with him before, but he has already used it in just a few issues. He is a little doubtful that Xu Lai expressed his disapproval.
Electronic music doesn't know much about what he's doing.
This mixing is not something a beginner can do, right?
Huh...it seems that Xu Lai never told him that he was a beginner...
"be cheated……"
Sun Yizhou suddenly felt this way.
"Xiao Xu, your stage should have harmony, right?" As soon as Xu Lai returned to the studio and sat down, Zheng Jun asked Xu Lai.
"Yes, because I feel like one person's voice can't hold up well." Xu Lai answered truthfully.
"Very good, awesome!" Zheng Jun nodded towards Xu Lai.
"Thank you, Teacher Zheng Jun, for the compliment. It's just a little bit impressive."
