"I once dreamed of traveling to the ends of the earth with my sword and seeing the prosperity of the world..."
In Lu Chen's heart, this song is his favorite.
Words are the voice of the heart, and songs are the songs of the aspirations. This song "The Past You" sings out Lu Chen's dreams and experiences. It also contains firm courage and confidence in life, which is exactly what he is today.
So even though it was his first time singing in a recording studio, he still sang with strong emotions and his true self!
"Young minds are always a little frivolous, but now you are at home all over the world."
The singing sound was transmitted clearly to the ears of everyone in the control room through high-quality monitor speakers. The members of the Nirvana band were silent, and those who were laughing, mocking, and sarcastic disappeared.
The more people know music, the more they understand the weight and power of a good song. It was the first time for them to hear this song "The Way You Were", so they were even more shocked!
Isn't this kind of song the kind of work they want to write and sing, but are searching hard for but can't get?
Even the most unruly young man with long hair put aside his contempt and disapproval of Lu Chen.
Listen quietly to the end.
"…After experiencing all kinds of ups and downs in life, this smile is warm and innocent!"
In the recording room, lingering sounds lingered.
Lu Chen fingered the steel string, his thoughts still unfinished!
Maybe it’s the special environment here, or maybe he’s wanted to sing well for a long time, so he’s in particularly good condition.
And in this state, those who act are called entering the drama, those who sing are called entering the mood, and it is the most touching.
Wang Hui turned his head and said to Wang Jing seriously: "Sister, the songs he wrote are much better than yours."
Wang Jing stared and waved her hand, but did not slap it down.
Because she couldn't refute it.
The man in the T-shirt was unconvinced: "How do you know he wrote this song himself?"
Wang Hui did not answer, but pointed at the computer screen.
The 30-inch LCD screen clearly displayed the "Greater China Music Library" webpage, and the latest search results based on the lyrics explained everything.
Work: "Once Upon a Time"/Lyricist: Lu Chen/Composer: Lu Chen/Registered Copyright Owner: Lu Chen!
Thanks to the great technology, technical geeks can easily listen to songs, recognize music and argue lyrics with just a click of the mouse. The evidence is irrefutable - you can't say that the "Greater China Music Library" is fake, right?
?
The man in the T-shirt suddenly became speechless.
Lu Chen played and sang it completely to get the feeling right, and then recorded the guitar accompaniment and a cappella singing.
Because it was recorded and played, the two vocal tracks were recorded once each and then ended, with the sound engineer doing the final synthesis.
He pushed open the soundproof door and walked out, handed the guitar back to Wang Jing, and said, "Thank you for the guitar."
Wang Jing took it silently, with a complicated look on her face.
As proud as she is, she has to admit that she can't write such a song, and neither can Nirvana.
The long-haired young man took the initiative to reach out to Lu Chen: "Hello, my name is Chen Zhiyong, the drummer of the Nirvana band!"
Lu Chen smiled: "Lu Chen, nice to meet you."
The Nirvana band owned by Nirvana Studio has a total of four official members and one non-staff member. Chen Zhiyong is the drummer, the caring man Zhang Yang is the bassist, and another small man Sun Hao is the keyboardist.
The leader of this small band is Wang Jing, who is also the lead singer and guitarist!
As for the non-staff member, it is naturally Wang Hui.
Nirvana usually mainly accompanies studio soundtracks and also goes out to perform, but mostly not in bars.
"Brother Chen, come and hear the effect!"
Wang Hui moved very quickly and completed the synthesis work using software in just a few minutes.
He diligently handed the monitoring earphones to Lu Chen. Although the two had just met, they were very affectionate.
Can you have some moral integrity?
Wang Jing bit her lip and glared at Wang Hui fiercely.
Wang Hui turned a blind eye to his sister. He stared at Lu Chen eagerly, with a somewhat nervous look on his face.
"Thanks..."
Lu Chen took the monitoring headphones and listened to the synthesized recording playback.
Due to physiological structural reasons, people hear their own voice differently from what others hear.
Lu Chen had heard his own singing before, but it was just a video broadcast live on the Internet. Don't talk about the sound quality at all. It would be fine to fool ordinary music lovers, but it would be intolerable for picky ears.
Nowadays, the audio recorded in a professional recording studio is completely different. What surprised Lu Chen was that Wang Hui had obviously adjusted the sound on the spot and made appropriate modifications, so it sounded excellent.
No one's voice is flawless. If a high-quality human voice recorded with professional equipment is not trimmed, any defects will be amplified and there will be a problem if you can't hear it clearly.
Therefore, post-processing is very important. A high-quality album often requires recording engineers or sound editors to spend a lot of time on modifications and adjustments to finally achieve perfection.
Wang Hui recorded and tuned it now, so of course it is impossible to achieve perfection, but Lu Chen already sounds very good. His singing is clear and pure and contains emotional power. The overall tone is warm and full, which makes people feel excited when listening to it!
Especially the handling of the climax made him even more satisfied.
Taking off the monitoring headphones, Lu Chen gave Wang Hui a thumbs up: "Awesome!"
"Not good enough..."
Wang Hui himself was not very satisfied, saying: "It's only five or six points at most. I used software to adjust it, and the effect is still a lot worse. This song needs to be added with an arrangement accompaniment to enrich the tone. Give me three or four days."
If you take the time to trim it, you can get at least eight or nine percent of the effect!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's really good enough."
Lu Chen didn't know much about the other people at Nirvana Studio, but he already had a sense of trust in Wang Hui.
At least today was not in vain.
Chen Zhiyong asked: "Lu Chen, is this song going to be included in your album?"
Wang Changsheng had previously told them to make the songs that Lu Chen brought over well, and there would be a whole album later.
Lu Chen nodded and said, "If there are no accidents, it should be."
Sun Hao asked: "Which company are you signed with now?"
Lu Chen smiled and said: "I haven't signed with any entertainment company, and I don't plan to sign one. I'll just work on my own for now."
"Work alone?"
The members of the Nirvana band looked at each other. Although Lu Chen's answer was not very unexpected, they were still surprised when it was confirmed.
Chen Zhiyong said: "It is too difficult to stand out on your own, even if you have good works."
This is indeed the case, and Lu Chen himself feels it deeply.
In today's era, not to mention celebrities in the entertainment industry, just those Internet celebrities on the Internet, if there is no professional hype and publicity, it is basically impossible to rely on their own strength to break out of the Red Sea.
Some people speculate, some praise, some criticize, and some brag. You are alone and still want to be famous? Just dream!
Even Lu Chen himself is currently quite successful in [Whale TV]. It was after signing the contract and receiving the support and promotion of the website that he could really stand out.
The competition in the entertainment industry is much more intense and cruel!
He defeated Jin Hongwei and was eliminated from the audition for "The Strongest Singer-Composer".
This is the fate of having no one behind you.
However, Lu Chen has decided to take a different path. He is very determined and working hard.
Wang Jing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "You are right."
Lu Chen looked at her in surprise.
While talking, Wang Changsheng came back.
Seeing everyone surrounding Lu Chen in the control room, he asked confusedly: "What's wrong?"
Lu Chen smiled and said: "I was just chatting with you. I just listened to the song Wang Hui recorded for me and it was very good. Now I believe in your ability. I think it is right to produce the work in Nirvana Studio."
Being nice and free of charge, Lu Chen also hopes that they can treat his work well.
Wang Changsheng was so surprised that he laughed and patted his son on the shoulder: "Okay, okay!"
Lu Chen added: "Manager Wang, let me treat you all to a meal tonight. After all, we have to work hard."
Wang Changsheng said quickly: "No, no, let me invite you, I'll do it!"
How can you ask a customer to treat you to a meal?
Teacher Wang's idea is very simple.
Wang Jing watched with cold eyes. In her mind, she added two more words to Lu Chen's evaluation: cunning.
At the same time, I feel a little depressed - how could such a person write such a song?
Of course, Lu Chen couldn't know Wang Jing's evaluation of him, but he had some ideas of his own about Nirvana Studio and Nirvana Band. If nothing else, there should be many opportunities for cooperation between the two parties.
So he is willing to have a good relationship with Wang Changsheng, Wang Hui and others. More friends means more paths!
Lu Chen was the guest tonight.
Two days later, he successfully received the arrangement and accompaniment work completed by Nirvana Studio.
Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!
