Chapter 276 In the recording studio
For three days, Chen Chufan only ran back and forth between the hotel, the company's workroom and the recording studio. When he had a prospect for the future and a new ideal, the boy began to devote 300% of his enthusiasm to his work. Hong Kong Island far surpassed the prosperity and excitement of the inland, and it also became a passing cloud in the eyes of the boy. Apart from the short five-minute journey from the company to the hotel, Chen Chufan had never had any other interactions with this modern metropolis.
Or in fact, even on the way back to the hotel, Chen Chufan's mind was full of music symbols.
"Chu Fan, I've called you three times!" Su Xiuqing reached out helplessly and patted the man next to her on the shoulder, before pulling Chen Chufan back from the world of music.
"Ah? What's the matter? I was thinking about the arrangement that Kalman gave me back. I think it's very meaningful for the arrangement I made myself." Chen Chufan came to his senses and explained.
"You have been thinking about it for a day, and you still have to think about it while walking? You have to combine work and rest, and don't get tired of yourself!" the woman said gently.
"Okay, I understand! I'm fine, that's it, this first album will take some time and start a shot. If you don't have to hurry up in the future, you won't have to work so hard. Besides, I don't plan to arrange the songs myself in the future. I feel that professional arrangements are still very capable. And when I get the grades, the company will definitely take the initiative to find famous artists to invite songs for me. By the way, what's the matter with me?" Chen Chufan nodded in agreement and said softly.
"About MV shooting. Director Kwong, who Director Huang helped contact, will be able to arrive in Hong Kong Island tomorrow. I want to ask, when will our song be recorded?" Su Xiuqing shook her head before asking.
"Photo MV? Actually, the accompaniment belt for "I Wait for You" has been prepared. If you want to record the song tomorrow, you can start recording at any time. For me, it should be done in one hour, but after recording, the mix and post-processing, etc., you have to ask the post-production staff." Chen Chufan had no expression on his face, and he seemed not very enthusiastic about this.
Chen Chufan has always been opposed to Su Xiuqing paying money to record MVs for himself. It’s not that the boy is ungrateful, but Chen Chufan always feels that using the girl’s money to shoot MVs for himself has a weird smell. It’s like he is being held up by a woman.
But women have very good reasons, according to women. She just remembered the first lyrics she wrote. This reason was invincible and made Chen Chufan not know how to object.
Of course, if Universal Records paid for him to produce music MV, that would be another concept, and Chen Chufan would definitely accept it happily.
"Okay. Let's meet that director tomorrow, and he needs to listen to your single first. Director Huang was complaining in front of Kalman today, and we can't even send the tape to the director first." Su Xiuqing shook her head. She was not very clear about the steps for shooting MVs, but for her, she didn't need to know so much. Because it's enough that she can impress people with another kind of almost invincible thing.
Or for Su Xiuqing, things that cannot be bought with money make her even more moved, such as the man in front of her.
"Actually, there is no need for you to pay for this money. When my album is launched, the company will definitely cry and make a fuss to pay for me. This money can be saved." Chen Chufan didn't mind the vomiting effect contained in his words. It was natural, just like Universal Records was opened by his family. "You have to be frugal, and it's hard to make money. And it's hard to get from extravagance to frugal!"
Su Xiuqing was obviously immune to men's self-proclaiming, or she actually agreed with men's self-proclaiming. In short, she had no comments on the first half of the teenager's sentence, but had questions about the second half of the teenager: "What? Are you short of money? I said Chu Fan, you have worked so hard recently, so you are just to make money, right?"
Chen Chufan didn't expect Su Xiuqing to be so sensitive. He just sighed with a few words about the dialectical relationship between luxury and frugality, so he made the girl guess his recent updates. He coughed twice awkwardly, and said, "How could I be short of money? I haven't squandered one-tenth of the money I earned in M Country yet. What I'm worried about is how to use the money."
Chen Chufan didn't want to express his ideals and dilemma in front of Su Xiuqing. He knew the girl's affection for him in his heart, and told Su Xiuqing that he wanted to buy an island nest for the other two girls. This was utterly cruel. But obviously, it was actually inappropriate for him to say this in front of Su Xiuqing. He obviously realized this. As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but blush slightly.
Chen Chufan's words also successfully made Su Xiuqing smile again: "Oh, is that right? Then we are really destined to be because we are even the same worries. So you don't have to complain, because being able to spend this money in the name of shooting mv has somewhat solved my worries."
Chen Chufan didn't say anything anymore. It was obviously boring to talk about money in front of Su Xiuqing. Chen Chufan had never had any interest in doing boring things. Fortunately, the short journey was about to end and the hotel was already in front of him.
"Okay, don't be depressed. I'll tell you that when the MV filming officially starts, I won't allow you to be perfunctory. Also, that director Kwong will arrive at Hong Kong Island at around 2 pm tomorrow. I made an appointment to meet at the company at 3 pm. Then I will take him directly to your studio. Remember the time, don't run around, and don't say strange words!" Su Xiuqing finally explained solemnly.
"Don't worry, the money has been spent, so I will naturally be serious! Waste is shameful!" Chen Chufan nodded, looking very sincere.
When Chen Chufan walked into the recording studio the next day, Du Yan, the global ace recordingist who came to audition for Chen Chufan, had already sat in front of the recording station to start debugging.
Chen Chufan could clearly hear the mellow piano sound lingering in his ears, followed by a separate violin part. Du Yan seemed to be studying how this violin's artistic conception was far-reaching and vast style reflected the piano sounds that were as cold as steel balls spread to the ice and were distinctive.
As soon as Chen Chufan opened the door, he alarmed Du Yan who was debugging. The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at Chen Chufan who was stepping into the studio, and smiled slightly, "We're meeting again!"
"Yes, Brother Du, I didn't expect that I would work hard to record a single and you personally take action. I'm so honored!" Chen Chufan walked forward and shook hands with Du Yan.
"You have to be welcome, this is my job, what's the honor? Why did you come alone? Where is your producer? He doesn't come to supervise?" Du Yan asked.
"The producer of my album is Mr. Watt. He is too lazy to care about me. As long as I feel OK, it's enough!" Chen Chufan scratched his head and explained.
Du Yan was a little dizzy. The producer of the album didn't care about the singer's singing process. For him, an insider, he obviously felt that there was something strange about it.
"Since your producer doesn't care about you, can we start?" Du Yan shook his head and spoke.
"Okay!" Chen Chufan smiled and walked directly into the recording studio.
When both of them were working seriously, Du Yan understood the reason why the producer was so relieved about Chen Chufan. It was just the first section of the theme of the song, and it was now the seventh time to record. In fact, Du Yan believed that Chen Chufan's first time recorded was actually enough.
"I feel the best this time, just use this time!" Finally, after the seventh time recording was completed, Chen Chufan was also satisfied and gave Du Yan a thumbs up.
While Chen Chufan was resting, Du Yan used the recording studio equipment to distinguish the entire track from the first section of the seven-time main song recorded by Chen Chufan. After savoring it carefully, he finally felt the slight difference between Chen Chufan's voice use and emotional pauses. Sure enough, the seventh time was the most perfect in terms of emotion and voice use.
But he separated the tracks of the entire music through the recording studio equipment and tasted the difference. Du Yan really couldn't understand how Chen Chufan could find the nuances between each time based on his own feelings. You should know that Du Yan has recorded songs for countless singers, and there are even many famous superstars who have been famous for a long time, such as the singer Zhang You, and the principal Tan Yuanlin, who are talking about it farther away, such as the deceased Zhang Jiarong.
Even these superstars rarely find their shortcomings during the singing process. Unless they are in a bad state, they can realize the mistakes in their singing, and sometimes they actively ask for re-recording, and sometimes they even change the time to record again.
Most of the time, he is still a recording artist or producer who feels something wrong, so he asks the singer to re-record. A situation like Chen Chufan is definitely rare.
What's more, the singer can keenly feel the problems that arise in his singing when he has not discovered any different parts. Or it cannot be described as problems, but it is just a small flaw. How sensitive should this be to music? Du Yan couldn't help but become more curious about Chen Chufan.
"Okay, let's continue!" Chen Chufan didn't know about this and Du Yan was surprised. He just took a sip of water and briefly felt the feeling when recording just now. Chen Chufan walked into the recording studio again.
Watching Chen Chufan walk into the studio, Du Yan could only temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart. He made a gesture of everything with Chen Chufan standing in front of the microphone with his headphones.
