Chapter Eighteen

top most studio, this recording studio is located on the 7th floor of the Garry Building on Nathan Road. Although its name sounds relatively high-end, when you look in from the door, it looks like a medium-sized recording studio.

"Hello, gentlemen, do you have an appointment?" the executive lady at the front desk, who was wearing an exquisite and tight OL dress, asked enthusiastically.

"I called Manager He the day before yesterday and made a reservation for recording studio No. 3," Yi Guang, who was walking in front, answered with a smile.

"Okay, please invite me this way." The administrative lady led the three of them into the corridor.

The design of the recording room is neat and bright, making people feel like they are in a different world as soon as they enter. Especially the decoration in the corridor and the design of the card slots in the tea room make the whole thing exquisite and comfortable. It is a very standard music production unit, and the sparrow is not small.

All five organs are complete.

"In addition to the office and administrative area, our company has three main recording studios and two separate solo recording studios. In addition, we also have a live band recording studio." Ms. Helen introduced the basic situation to them with a smile.

"Diao, this recording studio is so high-end, it seems like the fees won't be cheap." Guan Zhengfei leaned back and tugged at the corner of Lu Dongjie's clothes and whispered.

"If you eat salted fish, you will be thirsty." Lu Dongjie shook his head and smiled, picked up his backpack and continued walking forward.

"This is the office of Manager He of our production department." Miss Helen gently knocked on the slightly ajar door. After hearing the answer, she pushed the door open and went in.

"Manager He, these three gentlemen said they have made an appointment with you to reserve recording studio No. 3." Miss Helen walked gently to the office desk and reported to the busy middle-aged man sitting on the chair.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man adjusted his big-framed glasses, put down the pen in his hand, closed his notebook, and said suddenly: "Oh, Yin Sheng, right? Hello, hello." Then he stood up and shook hands with them one by one with enthusiasm.

Chit chat.

"Manager He, you're welcome. I'm going to trouble you this time." Yin responded with a polite smile.

"Please sit down, you three. What would you like to drink? Green tea, black tea, coffee?" He Zhiming said with a smile and made an invitation gesture to them.

"No need to go to so much trouble, just a cup of green tea each." Yin also made the decision for the two of them.

"Helen, please go out and help some guests pour a cup of tea." He Zhiming motioned Miss Helen to go out, turned around and said to the three of them with a smile; "Yin Sheng just talked briefly on the phone last time, but this time, please do it again."

Please be more detailed. I will ask Helen to sort out the terms of the contract according to your requirements. After signing, we can start work."

"This is my partner Ajie. He will be the producer of this recording. He will be responsible for the specific recording work. I am here to accompany the guest, and this is the talker." Yin smiled and patted Lu Dongjie.

.

He Zhiming glanced at Lu Dongjie in surprise. Yin was considered a well-known singer, but he had never heard of Lu Dongjie next to him. Could it be that he was a top music student who returned from overseas?

Lu Dongjie took out a music score from his backpack and handed it to He Zhiming and asked: "Manager He, I want to complete the accompaniment recording, lyrics, music and arrangement of these five songs in your recording studio. I'm ready.

I think five days should be enough, right?”

He Zhiming frowned after listening to it. He recorded the accompaniment of five songs in five days. What kind of international joke did the young man make?

He Zhiming almost wanted to serve tea to see the guests off, but he held back out of professionalism and took the thick stack of sheet music paper and started reading.

Lu Dongjie and the three of them were not in a hurry. They took the tea brought by Miss Helen and sat down to drink the tea slowly.

He Zhiming flipped through the pages slowly, looking at it very carefully, and humming softly according to the music score, and the tones he found were very accurate. A look of surprise appeared on his face from time to time.

After a while, he raised his head and asked, "Lu Sheng, did you write the first three songs yourself?"

"To be honest with Manager He, I wrote the first three songs. As for the last two, they follow the trend of the times." Lu Dongjie was not embarrassed and said directly that he wanted to cover them.

In this era of lack of originality, the market of Xiangjiang's record industry is very chaotic. Everyone is in a position where I sing your songs and you sing my songs.

It can be said that every time a song is sung and becomes popular, it becomes a chaotic state where you sing it and I sing it, everyone sings it, you change it and I change it, and everyone changes it.

Although there are new copyright regulations in Hong Kong, these protections are still quite fragile, and their contents are still based on the copyright laws of the Commonwealth Kingdoms more than 20 years ago. On the contrary, the Universal Copyright Convention like the Berne Convention has not been quoted in Hong Kong.

Moreover, the Hong Kong Composers and Lyricists Association has not yet been established, so there is no official organization to uniformly control matters related to the copyright of musical works.

Therefore, a popular pop song is usually recorded by at least four or five singers, and some even choose some serious songs to fill in witty and interesting lyrics to sing, so as to put new wine in old bottles.

Commonplace things.

No matter what copyright or laws, everyone pretends to be outside the white zone and plays around with things. Of course, these days will soon pass, but it does not prevent Lu Dongjie from taking this last bus.

"Don't worry, you three. Our recording studio can provide services for the recording equipment, accompaniment instruments, and post-processing work you need. But who will perform the accompaniment? Will you hire a musician, or will we help introduce one to you?

"He Zhiming put the music score aside and continued to discuss the actual preparation work.

"There's no need to hire a band. The three of us can do it just by being shirtless." Guan Zhengfei, who was sitting around doing nothing, said immediately when he heard that he wanted to hire someone.

"Well, are you sure you're ready?" He Zhiming looked at Guan Zhengfei, and then looked at Lu Dongjie inquiringly.

"Of course, I think back when I was in school, Ajie and I formed a band (formed a band) and swept all the inter-school competitions among the 18 districts in Hong Kong. We even won prizes. Even recording an accompaniment was not so wet and it was so difficult.

"Luxuan" Guan Zhengfei talked about the old days with a bright expression on his face.

Lu Dongjie smiled and said nothing. In the 1960s, influenced by the British rock band The Beatles, the band trend that emerged in Xiangjiang could be said to have reached the level of five steps on the first floor and ten steps on the first floor. It was heard everywhere.

Someone is discussing the sound of band.

Of course, those who are rich wear a folk band, have high-end equipment and dress up elegantly, while poor people who have no money wear a folk band, hold an acoustic guitar, and practice singing on this recorder at home. Usually

When there are performances, several of their bands would borrow electric guitars and basses from each other to perform.

I remember back then, whenever they had to go to a performance, Lu Dongjie and Guan Zhengfei would ride a motorcycle (motorcycle) on the spot, speeding through the road, often making them look disgraced. They really looked like flying boys.

Already.

"Helen, you draft a contract according to what Lu Sheng just said, and I will take them to see the recording studio first." He Zhiming ordered Helen on the side, then stood up and smiled and made an invitation gesture to the three of them.

.

"I have long heard that your recording studio is one of the best in the industry. This time I have the opportunity to finally see it." Yin smiled and followed He Zhiming. Although he has never recorded in this recording studio, he is very familiar with this recording studio.

But I have heard about it for a long time.

He Zhiming took the three people around and explained to them the use areas and effects of each equipment along the way.

"This is the Fairchild 670. It is the most expensive and oldest classic stereo compressor in the world. It can be said that its compression effect is the king in the entire field, and it is also the effector with the highest degree of restoration recognized in the industry," He Zhiming pointed out

Looking at the black machine on the console, he introduced it very professionally.

The three of them also followed He Zhiming's guidance and looked over with some surprise.

"It is designed with 20 vacuum tubes (tubes) and has a round treble, so it has attracted many producers from record companies to use it. It is the treasure of our recording studio." He Zhiming saw that they were a little shocked.

With an expression on his face, he couldn't help but smile proudly and continue explaining.

"The equipment this guy talks about is either top-notch in the industry or world-class. Do you think the price when we sign the contract will scare you to death?" The two people following behind muttered a little guiltily.

"The devil tells us we are poor, and we will have to fight to the death. But there is a big water pipe in front of us. If we die, he will die first. What are we afraid of?" Lu Dongjie raised his head and gestured to the front.
