Imperial Capital, North Fifth Ring Road, Caochangdi Art Village
Flashing Star Recording Studio, a new conspicuous slogan has been added to the sound-absorbing material wall of the recording control room in Studio No. 1:
"Music cannot withstand interruption, and the melody bursts out in silence - Flashing Star Deng Wenbin Xuan."
As for the real situation in Shed No. 1, anyone who looks at it will comment that this slogan is quite ironic and simply outrageous.
However, Deng Wenbin kicked everyone else out of Shed No. 1 early. With full emotional intelligence, he even issued a death order in the WeChat group: "It is forbidden to watch or disturb Teacher Yan Qing."
In the empty recording control room, Flash Star manager Deng Wenbin was leaning in front of the recording console majestically, talking in Yan Qing's ear.
The topics he talked about all revolved around the two digital singles that were released on the Whisper Music platform at the same time as the first issue of "Talent Co., Ltd." last Saturday.
Hot sales data, Weng Huaijing's perfect recording studio performance, reproduce the miracle of a single break...
Deng Wenbin opened his mouth from various angles, with a proud look on his face. After all, these two songs were recorded at Shining Star, and he also participated in the studio work throughout the process.
Yan Qing echoed Deng Wenbin every time. He concentrated on manipulating the midi keyboard and midi pedal with his hands and feet skillfully, recording one piece after another of violin strings and percussion accompaniment into the music workstation.
The two songs "Red Rose" and "White Rose" are arranged from the same version. Yan Qing's thinking is very clear, with piano as the main lead, violin and string interludes, and drums as harmonic accompaniment.
There are no vocal harmonies in the whole song, so overall the workload is not that big.
Yan Qing’s personal understanding of this arrangement is this. The main catchy part of this song lies in the inner monologue of a sad and lonely middle-aged man. Excessive use of harmony can easily lead to the suspicion of overshadowing the main role, while not using it at all.
The harmonies will make the whole song seem too hollow.
Therefore, a gentle, faint, and sentimental violin sound is very important. Its addition can not only enrich the relatively single piano lead, but also express the man's infatuation and reluctance to part with the "rose"-like woman.
In the percussion harmony, Yan Qing used a large number of syncopations and triplets in an unconventional manner. He changed the usual arrangement cognitive habits that stress must appear on the strong beat, so that the weak beat or the weak part of the strong beat was replaced.
, becomes the accent due to the extended duration, creating an illusion that seems to be wrongly shot to highlight the entanglement and contradiction in the man's heart.
Yan Qing secretly said with satisfaction: "What I pursue is the mood that swings between hell and heaven, devil and angel when "Red Rose" is used as the soundtrack for the movie."
The data that Deng Wenbin couldn't help praising in his ears were actually mentioned by Miao Miao in the car that came over in the morning.
The quality of the song is already high, coupled with the promotion of "Talent Co., Ltd.", a "new concept paid on-demand" variety show with up to 24 million on-demand views, "Light Chaser" has been online on the Whisper Music platform for 24 days.
The single-day sales volume within an hour exceeded 10 million: 15.39 million songs, and "Li Sao" also performed well with 8.21 million songs.
Weng Huaijing, who has never released a single in the Chinese music scene, easily came from behind with this song "Light Chaser" and won the top single of the week in the Chinese music world's supreme golden song chart in the last week of August.
Just like Yan Qing's song "Talent Co., Ltd.", it has no difficulty and achieved diamond record certification in one single.
While listening to Deng Wenbin continue to lament that the song "Li Sao" deserves better sales, Yan Qing turned sideways with a smile to play the Zhujiang cvp electric piano next to the music workstation, and went straight to the workstation to play the piano master
The tracked sound of the instrumental part.
Yan Qing even replied with enough energy: "This is normal. The audience for topics like rap is narrower than that of popular genres."
Seeing Deng Wenbin silently nodding in response, Yan Qing pursed her lips and thought for a while before speaking tentatively:
"If it weren't for the response to the meme...I probably wouldn't have chosen rap as the first issue, I just don't know how the effect would be..."
Deng Wenbin glanced deeply at Yan Qing, and turned to other topics rather abruptly: "Teacher Yan, let's talk about... uh, Flashing Star's participation in the design and construction supervision of your studio recording studio."
Yan Qing lowered his head and touched the sunglasses that Miao Miao had forced on him in the morning, and muttered in his heart: "I know Xiaomiao, she reports good things but not bad things. If you bother me, it's okay."
…
As soon as they arrived at Flashing Star today, Miao Miao first chatted with Deng Wenbin about the business of designing and supervising a recording studio.
Flash Star has had many successful outsourced private recording studio design and supervision cases, so naturally it will not refuse such a large order that comes to your doorstep.
Miao Miao was in the conference room next door, working with Deng Wenbin's key account manager Ren Yanzhu to finalize some contract details one by one based on the overall budget of 15 million and the two-month construction period.
Yan Qing was able to safely hand over the job to Flashing Star because he was convinced that Deng Wenbin was indeed familiar with all kinds of cutting-edge recording hardware and technologies. Miao Miao had also verified that there was relevant information on the Internet, and he could find several cases with considerable influence in the circle.
Well-known, successful case of private recording studio designed and supervised by Flash Star outsourcing.
Deng Wenbin also knew very well that Yan Qing was very knowledgeable about recording and mixing. He did not pat his chest or anything like that. He only mentioned it to reassure Yan Qing that he would be fully involved in the project and ensure that the recording studio would be on schedule during the budget cycle.
Delivered on schedule with high quality and quantity.
After saying that, he pointed to the recording studio on the other side of the sealed glass window of the No. 1 recording control room, and motioned to Yan Qing, who had finished playing the accompaniment, to quickly enter the studio. It seemed that Deng Wenbin was more interested in the studio than the work of making money.
Attentive.
Yan Qing also estimated that the preparations were in place. He took a sip of warm water to soothe his throat, plugged in the singer's monitor earphones, and walked into the recording studio gracefully.
Under the supervision of Deng Wenbin, Yan Qingshi Shiran recorded the dry vocals of "Red Rose" and "White Rose".
It was approaching noon, and the last two items on the agenda were determined in the conference room next door:
Before getting off work this Friday, Flash Star will submit the official version of the overall design renderings to Yan Qing Studio, as well as a third-party evaluation report of the overall acoustic design plan of the recording studio.
This report will be entrusted to the Institute of Acoustics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences designated by Yan Qing Studio for professional evaluation.
Miao Miao and Ren Yanzhu finally completed the contract procedures and found that Yan Qing was already waiting for her in the lounge. He was still playing with a USB flash drive containing the digital master tapes of two songs.
The meal at noon was arranged by Deng Wenbin, who chased him from the building to the Caochangdi Art Village Square, with a self-deprecating tone in his tone.
"If Teacher Yan doesn't give me face this time, many employees at Flash Star will be telling jokes about me now."
Miao Miao, who didn't know what was going on, said, "What are you kidding me about?"
Deng Wenbin's accent was a little strange: "Teacher Yan Qing's songs were all recorded in our studio. Good guy, the recording level of each of his songs is maintained at a very high level, and we at Flash Star did it during the recording process of Teacher Yan Qing."
He made an indelible and outstanding contribution.”
At this moment, Miao Miao seemed to be possessed by Shao Qing, her emotional intelligence was full: "That's not true, after all, Flashing Star is the best independent recording studio in our imperial capital."
After Deng Wenbin shook his head at Miao Miao and Yan Qing, who was wearing sunglasses, he continued to imitate the sinister tone and said:
"That's what those bastards said. The outstanding contribution of Flashing Star is that the manager personally supervises the studio. Our boss Deng has a very hard time. He has to be busy making OK gestures while holding the recording controller and pressing it all the way down.
3.”
Deng Wenbin pretended to be sad, and finally complained: "You don't let me eat every time. This will make it difficult for me to carry out my work in the future."
"Thank you for being laughed at."
Yan Qing touched the neatly trimmed stubble at the corner of his mouth and smiled awkwardly but politely. He was successfully amused by Deng Wenbin's professional joke.
"If you bear with me, I will finish the post-production process today and confirm that it can be shaved off without reshooting."
