Chapter 198 The joys and sorrows of the recording studio

.

This method is to... reduce computer special effects expenses!

As long as you cut 20 million US dollars, the budget for this drama will be basically sufficient. However, once the special effects budget is cut, what will the effect of the film look like? Chu Yue smiled bitterly, and he didn't want his drama to be as false as other so-called special effects.

Why do Chinese films always have so bad special effects? It’s because the price can’t be afforded! Hollywood’s production fee of 100 million yuan can be spent on 30 to 40 million yuan for film pay, and some ordinary budgets are all special effects funds! Chinese films cannot afford to pay, don’t mention special effects of tens of millions of dollars, even tens of millions of dollars are not willing to give out! After all, this is 80 million Hong Kong dollars and RMB, which is enough to make a blockbuster.

Chu Yue never thought about making a truly top-notch special effects work for Chinese dramas, nor did he want to fill the so-called gap. He has never been that great. He just wanted to make a work that truly belongs to him, and from beginning to end, he was deeply imprinted with Chu Yue's style.

What will it look like after 20 million yuan is cut? As we all know, Chu Yue has been preparing for this drama for a long time, and I dare not say that he even distinguishes the camera. However, he does have his own idea of ​​how to shoot each plot. If he cuts these 20 million yuan, it means that many places will have to make great changes, and some of them can be made using special effects and must be given up. If you don’t get the results that Chu Yue wants, the quality of the film will be affected, and then the overall level will be over. This is also one of the reasons why there has been no real high-level films in Chinese films.

Let’s give the simplest example. For example, if Chu Yue wants to shoot a martial arts film, he wants to present the scene of two top masters fighting at the top of Huashan. This cannot be done with the simple set of TV series. If you save money, this scene will definitely not be imposing. Even if it has momentum, everyone thinks it is fake. The special effects shots are fake, so how can it be effective!

Therefore, in this regard, the failure of Chinese directors to direct blockbusters repeatedly cannot be entirely because they lack the ability to control the filming funds and the indifference to spending money on special effects, which is also a very fatal thing.

Troubled, Chu Yue grabbed his hair hard. Lin Rui was so funny when he saw this and comforted him: "Don't be anxious, there is always hope. You are here now, so you should think about how to sing this song."

Lin Rui and Zhao Jinsheng's partner were indeed very strong. In two months, they did not complete the lyrics and songs of the new album. Chu Yue exhaled and went into the recording studio. He put on his headphones and listened quietly. Although he had practiced these songs at home, he couldn't help but raise his big fingers to Zhao Jinsheng when he heard them again, thinking that this kid's arrangement was getting stronger and stronger.

Today, Zhao Jinsheng is no longer just one, but has an entire team. In addition to making songs, this team also makes some movie soundtracks, etc. In this way, his unfamiliarity with other instruments has been offset. Now that his running-in period with his team has passed, he seems to have a tacit understanding.

However, this is not the reason why Chu Yue praised Zhao Jinsheng, but the arrangement this time was particularly powerful, and the use of musical instruments was very accurate in all aspects! Obviously, he made new progress in this, and through simple or repeated instrument combinations, he tapped out the potential of songs!

Never think that arrangement is not important, it is an equally important task as composition and lyrics. What kind of instrument should a song be accompanied by? What instrument is the most suitable? What kind of instrument may be different when using different instruments, and these are all things to consider for arrangement. With good arrangements, ordinary songs can bring out different spirits, and a good song can also burst out with endless potential.

Chu Yue is recording "Showing Out Yourself", and Lin Rui himself intends to put this song on the next album. Later, he thought about it. This album itself brings a lot of styles, and it is not a problem to have more. Therefore, this fast-paced "Showing Out Yourself" came out.

"Showing Yourself" is very lively and has been initially confirmed to present the mv with tap dance. This song is easy to catch up and is one of the main songs in this album!

To be honest, the easier it is to sing songs like "Showing Yourself" and the hardest ones to sing are those with high artistic value. Although it is indeed a bit like a pretentious and noble when talking about the word "art", if you want to say it in another way, there is basically no problem with Chu Song. The problem is how to make Ku Song show infectiousness.

The appeal of a fast song cannot only focus on the style of the song or the accompaniment, although almost all singers are like this. However, Lin Rui’s requirements for Chu Yue are much stricter: “Did you forget how you sang “Happy” in the past? Just like that, sing out what you are inside and what you are outside the rhythm!”

Such a request is very fatal. If you change to other singers, you may not understand what Lin Rui is saying. But Chu Yue understands that Lin Rui wants to show a unique emotion or something hidden behind the scenes. For example, "Happy" is a fast song, but in the song, Chu Yue uses a special singing method to convey the kind of sweetly with his beloved. This is the deeper thing! According to the movie, this is the level of expression.

Generally speaking, fast songs are not too high for singers’ subtitles, and they require that they avoid the tail sound as much as possible. For a fast song, long tail sounds are very fatal. Not only that, even in terms of transliteration, they are required to shorten them as much as possible. For example, Zhang Xueyou can sing "Blessings" for ten seconds, but if he sings "Hair is in chaos", the producer will definitely beat him up!

No matter which singer you ask, the answer is that singing fast songs is not difficult! The difficult thing is slow songs, emotional communication, accurate pitch, and mastering the rhythm. The difficult thing about fast songs is the scene, especially at concerts, how can you keep your voice stable while dancing?

Obviously, Chu Yue has no such problem now. The lyrics of "Showing Yourself" are roughly meaningful that one day, the protagonist will express himself through dance or singing without hesitation and express his emotions. However, this is just the superficial meaning, but the deep meaning is actually not to give up expressing himself for anything, and to do it bravely and present a true self!

On whether this song is a show or me, Chu Yue and Lin Rui argued for a while. Or Zhao Jinsheng interrupted them by saying: "Just try every point!"

Chu Yue only sang it once and admitted Lin Rui's opinion. The focus of this thing should be on the show, not me! After finding this point, Chu Yue quickly completed the song. However, trouble came, the next song "Eternal" was extremely deadly!

This song is very strong, and the strength is that it is so grand and sings a sense of magnanimity! This is a completely different feeling from "Translation of Love". However, the temperament is somewhat similar to "The Legend of Eternal", but the difficulty is undoubtedly a bit greater.

Not only him, but Lin Rui and Zhao Jinsheng were extremely sad. Lin Rui cunningly laughed: "Small, this song is so difficult, at least A Sheng and I have made it. It depends on you now. I want to penetrate the feeling of time and space. But you are not allowed to release your voice penetrating. In short, lower your voice to me!"

This is painful! Chu Yue was extremely depressed. This song is actually one of the two songs he wrote in Vienna, and it is also the most magnificent song. After the lyrics of this song, it means that the music will always be preserved in the world, and it is the artistic charm of time and space. It is such a song. In order to pursue the best interpretation effect, Lin Rui dared not to force him to avoid using his most admired unique voice. What should he do?

After singing several times, Lin Rui lowered his head in frustration and turned to look at Zhao Jinsheng: "Asheng, are we too embarrassed? This song is very difficult. But if you don't perform like this, you can't dig it all. The effect of singing is only above his level. What I want is extraordinary performance!"

"Don't underestimate him. Maybe he can solve it after a while!" Zhao Jinsheng looked at him and smiled. Lin Rui sometimes pursues perfectionism too much. Every song requires him to tap out the potential of the song. Now he is asking Chu Yue to tap into the potential of the performance.

What is the potential of a song? The aforementioned article mentions the great role of arrangement. Whether a song can achieve the best performance in itself depends on the arrangement. And the so-called singing exploration is even more painful. Singing the best interpretation effect that a song can achieve with singing skills is definitely not a job that people do.

For example, Zhang Xueyou and Wang Fei, their songs are almost never covered by Chinese singers. It’s not that their songs are not good enough, but that the potential for arrangement has been deeply explored. Apart from themselves, the performance is almost difficult to surpass. Otherwise, with Chu Yue’s praise of Xueyou, why hasn’t covered it yet? It’s just that he is afraid of being embarrassed? The snowy fellow sings are the best. If you still go to cover it, then it’s not that you are embarrassed?

Chu Yue did not rush to sing again immediately, but fell into deep thought. The difficulty of this song "Eternal" is based on its own interpretation, and even no matter how you sing it, it was impossible to find out!

This time, Lin Rui did not set the key for this song again, but made appropriate adjustments according to Chu Yue's requirements! Chu Yue cleared his throat. Now he wanted to try the low singing method, the extremely low singing method. The singing sounds slowly, and the low voices made a buzzing feeling. However, Chu Yue and the other three couldn't help but close their eyes and experience a different feeling here.

"Okay..." After a while, Lin Rui suddenly opened his eyes and slammed his palm. He called out Chu Yue and pointed him instructed: "You are thrusting out of your chest and abdomen. You have never tried such a bass song before. You can try it now, let your voice brew in your chest, and try it with a small nasal sound..."

The change of pronunciation parts, even if it is just a small change, is enough to cause the voice line to change. Moreover, Chu Yue changed the part that was stimulating. As the music started, Lin Rui repeatedly signaled the staff to turn the key down. A voice line that was like the sound of the earth sounded, thick and full of magnetic charm!

Wonderful! It's so wonderful. Lin Ruishu was so angry that he couldn't help but shake his head and experience this unrealized experience. He found that Chu Yue and Zhang Xueyou were actually somewhat similar, not like the sound, but were all people who achieved success by singing skills. In terms of singing skills, Chu Yue is now only missing his own style, otherwise, he might not be inferior to other people in the music industry.

"Instantly Cheng Yong..." After a gaze, a choke sound came from Chu Yue's mouth, and then two more choke sounds appeared. With his mastery of pitch, he actually ran away because of these two extremely low choke sounds, which shows how low this song is.

"It's okay, we will record this song in a few days. You can train more so that your voice can be more stable!" Lin Rui also frowned, and soon thought of the reason. Before Chu Yue could open his voice in full, who could have expected that he could sing "Translation of Love". As long as you practice more, this song is definitely not a problem.

"Next, let's try "The Man in the Play"!" When talking about this song, Lin Rui and the others frowned. The difficulty of this song is no less than the previous one. "The Man in the Play" was made by Chu Yue after watching the opera at the Paris City Theater. It is full of opera flavor and has an exotic atmosphere everywhere.

Lin Rui asked Zhao Jinsheng to try to maintain and strengthen the charm of the tune as much as possible when arranging the song. Therefore, after the arrangement, the song was more like a song in an opera, but it was more smooth and popular! Obviously, Chu Yue and the others did not realize that making this opera-style thing into pop music was actually a big breakthrough.

In terms of voice combination, Chu Yue personally made the voice combination in the clip and sang opera in his own singing style. It was the opera practice that elongated the tail and used bel canto singing to set off. Now, he had to adapt to his style in pain. Now he realized that his voice was really contagious. After only a few voices, his voice became more and more popular than opera!

Before the song was finished, the phone number that Chu Yue put outside rang. Lin Rui took it and called Chu Yue out and stuffed the phone to him! Chu Yue grabbed the phone in confusion, what could make Lin Rui let him out at this moment?
Chapter completed!
