Chapter 108 0107, A stroke of genius

Yunfeng's recording went smoothly and was passed in two takes, no more, no less.

The melody of the song "Friends" is relatively flat, and it mainly focuses on the control of emotions.

After listening to Yunfeng's first performance, Chen Cheng and music producer Zhang Bin agreed that the song "Friends" would become a popular KTV song.

A few friends, some drinks, some music, and the scene comes to mind.

Compared to the last time he recorded a song, Yunfeng's singing skills have improved by leaps and bounds again. Although he can't say that he has reached the level of a professional singer, he is almost there.

This is not dependent on the system, but on one's own talent plus hard work and practice.

The singing skill he used before was [Skill Singing: Getting Started·Entry Level]. He only skipped the entry level. If he hadn't studied and practiced, he might not even be able to sing at the level of an amateur singer now.

After Chen Cheng praised the song and the singing, he asked, "Xiao Yun, take a break first. Xiao Tang will go next. You have to record two songs, so you can take a break in between."

Tang Yu hugged Yun Feng's arm and whispered, "I suddenly feel very nervous, what should I do?"

Yunfeng consoled him, "Don't be nervous, it's just like the last time we recorded "Swordsman"."

Tang Yu bit her lip and said, "It's different. You don't need to speak when playing the guqin."

Yunfeng was unable to refute. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll go in with you. You won't be nervous when I'm around."

Tang Yu nodded and said, "Yes."

The two of them entered the recording studio together.

Yunfeng helped Tang Yu put on the monitoring headphones, then held her hand and gave her an encouraging look.

Tang Yu closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, opened his eyes, and nodded to the tuner.

When the music started, Yunfeng clearly felt Tang Yu's hand increase its strength.

"That day, I met you and saw a clear future. The love I wanted..."

"Stable Love", the music is the melody that echoes in Tang Yu's heart every time she thinks of Yun Feng, and the lyrics are a true portrayal of Yun Feng's inner thoughts from the first time he met Tang Yu to the successful confession of his love.

Maybe the music has flaws, maybe the lyrics are not perfect, but this song belongs to both of them.

"So sweet, so romantic." Xu Mengwei couldn't help but sigh when she saw the two people holding hands and looking at each other lovingly in the recording studio, and then reached out and pinched Xiao Tianpeng's waist.

Xiao Tianpeng almost cried out, and whispered, "Weiwei, what's wrong?"

Xu Mengwei said seriously: "You have to write a song for me too."

Xiao Tianpeng said without thinking: "Write, you must write."

Xu Mengwei smiled with satisfaction and gently rubbed the place where she had been pinched.

At this time, Tang Yu's first audition was over.

She took off her headphones and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Is it not working?"

Yunfeng could sense her nervousness, her palms were sweating, and he said, "Don't use too much force in the chorus. Remember what I told you, breathing is not about pausing before singing or taking a long pause before continuing. Instead, you should take a breath at the moment of singing and uttering a word, and store up the energy for the next breath."

Tang Yu was a little discouraged.

At this time, Chen Cheng, who was outside the recording studio, said into the microphone: "Xiao Tang, don't worry, adjust while singing."

Yunfeng squeezed her hand and asked, "Do you want to take a break?"

Tang Yu shook his head and said, "No, go ahead."

This was her first time singing in front of so many people other than her parents and Yunfeng, so it was inevitable that she was nervous.

Moreover, her parents instilled in her the idea that "singing is terrible, so learn the piano well and become a performer when you grow up", which made her seriously lack confidence in singing.

After the adjustments, Tang Yu's singing was obviously much better this time.

“The sound is very textured, clear and bright.”

"This talent is beyond reach. If she makes her debut, she will definitely be a superstar in the future."

……

This is the evaluation from Chen Cheng and Zhang Bin.

Can you believe that I have only been learning singing for less than half a month?
Tang Yu gradually became more confident, and finally completed the recording of the song "Stable Love" on the fourth time.

Yunfeng helped her straighten her hair that was messed up when she took off her headphones, and said, "Remember when I recorded "Dragon Fist" in the school's recording studio? That was my first time recording a song, and I sang it four times."

Tang Yu was no longer nervous. She smiled and said, "I remember when you sang for the first time, the teacher pointed out your shortcomings."

Yunfeng smiled and said, "You can't expose my shortcomings."

Tang Yu wrinkled her nose cutely. After the two of them left, Chen Cheng and Zhang Bin were still generous with their praise.

Xiao Tianpeng took a deep breath and said, "Weiwei, it's our turn."

Xu Mengwei nodded and said, "Let's go."

This was a test for the two of them after they transferred to the vocal music department and took two months of tutoring.

Yunfeng has confidence in the two of them and has been practicing singing "The Bund No. 18" these days.

Tang Yu made a cheering gesture and said to Xu Mengwei: "Mengwei, come on!"

Xu Mengwei nodded heavily.

Yunfeng patted Xiao Tianpeng on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous."

Xiao Tianpeng was full of confidence and said, "Watch me."

Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei both knew how important this song was to them and they were very focused.

"Hey, that's great. Their voices complement each other perfectly. They're a perfect match for singing together."

"Both of them had problems with rushing to the beat when switching, but their pronunciation was clear and their breath was stable, so they are good candidates."

……

As soon as Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei started singing, they surprised Chen Cheng and Zhang Bin a little, and this song is considered to be of medium to high quality.

However, the following chorus gave them a new understanding of the song.

Xu Mengwei: "On a rainy night (today, tomorrow, daytime, night)
All the Feelings (Ala Thank You Bund No. 18)
On a rainy night (As long as you are happy and I am happy)

A moment of sight (from now on, we will never see each other again at No. 18, The Bund)..."

Xiao Tianpeng: "Too many reasons (I want this, I want that Want everything that I can get)
But honey, Am I right Our love can't forget

Too many scenes (drinking tea, playing cards and chatting all day long)
Everything has become the end (one day, do you want claws?!)..."

In the chorus part, the harmony in brackets is the Shanghai dialect and the Sichuan dialect. Chen Cheng and Zhang Bin knew this and were skeptical at first. They wondered if adding dialects into the song would greatly reduce the effect. But after listening to it, they found that this was simply a stroke of genius, which raised the song to a higher level.

Xiao Tianpeng is from Qianzhou and Xu Mengwei is from eastern Guangdong. It is already rare for them to speak Chinese without their local accents, and now they have to learn the Shanghai dialect and Sichuan dialect which are very difficult for them to pronounce.

Fortunately it’s not the whole song, just three or two sentences.

Tang Yu recalled a joke Xu Mengwei made when she was learning Sichuan dialect, and said to Yunfeng, "Yesterday Mengwei was learning Sichuan dialect in the dormitory. Her roommate was about to go out, so she asked us what we wanted to eat for supper and asked us to bring it back. She said "eat pizza" in Sichuan dialect, but we heard it as "eat fart", which made us laugh for a long time."

"Puchi." Yunfeng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Chen Cheng and Zhang Bin in front also heard it, but since they were professionally trained, they held it in.

At this time, Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei had finished singing.

"Yunfeng, how is it?" Xiao Tianpeng was full of confidence before singing, but nervous after singing, mainly because he didn't want to ruin Yunfeng's song.

"I'm not sure. Let's let Producer Zhang do it." Yunfeng didn't know how the groups should cooperate with each other, and his memory of what the original singer of this song sounded like was vague.

Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng said to Zhang Bin, "Old Zhang, please give them some guidance."

Zhang Bin nodded and pointed out the shortcomings of Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei, as well as areas that needed attention.

Soon, the two began their second audition.

Because a chorus between two people is different from a solo, there are higher requirements for rhythm control and emotional investment.

Revise it over and over again, and audition it over and over again.

Everyone is very patient. A good song takes time to polish.

Finally, on the eighth time, Xiao Tianpeng and Xu Mengwei's cooperation reached perfection and their emotional investment was very strong, and they finally completed the recording of "The Bund 18".

Time passed minute by minute, and by one o'clock in the afternoon, all the songs were recorded.

Chen Cheng said to everyone in the recording studio, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you at noon."

Zhang Bin smiled and said, "It's rare for me to have a meal treated by you. I am very lucky today."

"Go, go, go. I've treated you to meals many times."

"How can that be the same? You are asking something of me."

……

Everyone left the recording studio amid laughter and joy.
