Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 13, The Communication Power of Radio

"Sister Zhao, you didn't cry during the first two songs, why did you cry so miserably during this song?"

"This line, 'It wasn't until I became your friend for many years that I realized my tears were not only shed for you, but also for others' really touched my heart."

studio.

Zhao Xue cried like a tearful person.

Wu Zhoutong and Zhang Zhong were fine. Although their eyes were also red, they held back their tears.

Wu Zhoutong comforted Zhao Xue, "Xiao Zhao, life still has to go on. We cannot change the arrangement of fate, but we must also learn to let go, to reconcile with our past selves, and to move on to the next stop with a smile on our faces. Life is nothing more than a journey of practice."

"Brother Wu, I understand." Zhao Xue sniffed, turned to look at Shen Lang, and said, "Xiao Shen, I don't know how many people will cry tonight with this song of yours."

Zhang Zhong followed up by saying, “I can’t even imagine how touching and tear-jerking the next six songs will be.”

If an album wants to sell well for a long time, in addition to the title song and the hit songs, the other songs must at least have a certain degree of listenability.

The overall quality should not be too bad so that ordinary people can spend money to buy tapes or CDs.

In an era when musical talents emerge in large numbers and music albums are booming, and under this very strict screening mechanism.

The singers who finally stand out from the crowd are either those with superb singing skills or those with unique styles.

In a word, a singer and a song can only be remembered if they have real strength and quality.

Each of the songs selected by Shen Lang can be used as the title song of an album.

You can imagine how strong the overall strength and quality are.

Sales volume 10?
I'm afraid it can't be stopped.

------

The next day, Monday.

It was originally Shen Lang's day off.

But he arrived at Broadcasting House early.

It's not overtime, I'm here to record songs in the recording studio. Jinhai has already delivered the accompaniment for three songs.

Coincidentally, I ran into Director Yang Lin downstairs.

"Xiao Shen, the title song of the album is very nice. It made my daughter cry when she heard it." Yang Lin smiled and praised Shen Lang.

"Thank you for the compliment, Director. It's all because of our album." Shen Lang said seriously.

But I thought in my heart.

Are you still laughing?

Your daughter cried when she heard "Ten Years", shouldn't you think about...

"By the way, how's the progress on your side?"

"We have contacted the factory and will send the master tapes over as soon as they are finished. We expect them to be available for sale by the end of the month."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Yang Lin asked this so that he could report to his superiors.

Shen Lang had already negotiated with the factory to use their sales channels. Although not as good as those of publishing houses or record companies, it was sufficient and at least covered more than 20 major cities across the country.

Chatting and chatting.

Come to their floor.

Just walked in the door.

"Director, Shen Lang, you've arrived at the perfect time. Yesterday's ratings are out."

"How's it going?"

“The ratings for the entire show are skyrocketing!”

"Where is our "Midnight Music Talk"?"

"you guess."

“Over 20%?”

"More than that! The peak has already reached 36%!"

"..."

……

shock!
This not only restored the glory of "Midnight Music Talk", but also won the fourth best listening rate in the station. Don't underestimate it, it is already very impressive.

The first, second and third places were set when the annual list of "China Songs Chart" was announced.

Because it concerns the ranking of the singer's songs, countless fans have forced the listening rate up.

But Shen Lang is just one person, one song, and the show is broadcast in the early morning, so it is more difficult to achieve a high listenership rate.

"You have worked so hard to come up with this idea, and your outstanding musical talent has finally paid off. Keep working hard and strive to reach a higher level."

"Thank you, Director. I'll go to the recording studio first."

"Go ahead. I've already said hello over there."

Shen Lang put his bag at his workstation and then went to the recording studio.

In the production of master tapes, recording songs is a relatively important part.

If the recording is not good, even if you sing well and write a good song, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, a good recording studio is a must.

First of all, hardware is the key to determining the quality of recording, including the recording sound field environment and the recording equipment hardware. The equipment in a regular recording studio ranges from hundreds of thousands to millions. Good equipment can improve the quality and effect of recorded songs, making the final work more perfect.

At the same time, the technical ability of the recording engineer is also an important factor affecting the recording effect. He needs to understand the characteristics of sound, audio signal flow, mixing technology, etc. A good recording engineer can make every sound in the recording studio be properly and clearly captured, leaving the best posture.

Shen Lang was a music teacher in his previous life. He had taken many students to the recording studio to record songs and had a certain understanding of the equipment and recording engineers.

The recording studio in the station may not be comparable to the top recording studios, but it is also in the first or second tier.

It is completely sufficient for professional singers to record songs.

"Waiting for the moment when my beloved returns, my tears sing for you..."

"Circle and circle, day after day, year after year, I..."

"The girl told me that I was a thief..."

……

All three songs were recorded in one day.

During this period, Shen Lang had another deep feeling. It seemed that his singing skills, like his memory, had been enhanced because of the time travel.

why?
For professional singers, in addition to practicing and thinking more before the formal recording, they also need to "polish the session" frequently.

What I mean is, I'm not ready yet. I need to practice in the studio for a long time first, because the equipment in the studio can feedback a lot of sound details. Only when everything is ready can I start the formal recording.

Moreover, in addition to the singers and recording engineers, there will usually be one or more music producers responsible for monitoring the studio. The purpose is to find out the shortcomings in the singing and grasp the emotions of the song.

Therefore, it normally takes at least 6 to 8 hours to record a song.

Shen Lang recorded three songs in 8 hours, quickly, accurately and well.

“Sorry for the post-production.”

"You're welcome. This is my job. Besides, I'm your fan. It's my honor to produce a song for you."

Shen Lang didn't expect that the recording engineer was also his fan.

This feeling is good.

Post-production must have been doubly attentive.

The album is one third complete.

MV?

Forget it this time. In order to save money, Shen Lang did not choose to shoot.

Just release tapes and CDs. It doesn't matter if there are no MVs. VCDs and DVDs are also expensive.

Wait until I make money later, then reshoot and re-post.
