Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 476 Grammy Goddess!
Li Zhifan thought that when he came to Liu Yuan's mansion, he just sipped tea, played cards, and chatted about life.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, Liu Yuan greeted everyone like an old child: "Let's go, go upstairs to see the new equipment I bought, Xiao Li, you are really lucky today, I just arrived last night device of."

What equipment?

Li Zhifan was puzzled for a while, but he didn't ask any more questions, and followed Liu Yuan and the others upstairs.

"Dad, are you back?"

An eight or nine-year-old little loli came out of a bedroom upstairs, wearing this little vest and shorts, very cute.

But her name was Liu Yuan's father, which really surprised Li Zhifan. His grandson should be this age, right?
But thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Liu Yuan was still in his prime eight or nine years ago, and it was normal to have a child at that time, and in Li Zhifan's memory, he seemed to have had a divorce in those years, but it passed away not long after.

After going up to the third floor, I followed Liu Yuan into a bedroom, which was full of recording equipment.

"Come on, take a look, take a look!"

Liu Yuan said flauntingly, "They are all newly developed equipment, and they haven't been launched yet. I managed to get a set."

For those who make music, seeing these devices can't move at all, it will be a long time to regret if they don't play.

"From Stern?"

Song Song works behind the scenes, and has a higher level of understanding of these devices than anyone present here, even surpassing Liu Yuan. He knows which factory produces which equipment, which company develops which product, and he knows everything about it.

"Correct!"

Liu Yuan picked up the microphone, turned on the switches one by one, then walked over and handed the microphone to Li Zhifan, "Try?"

"OK! Try it!"

Li Zhifan didn't give in, took the microphone, and hung the earphones around his neck.

Song Song pulled out his chair and sat down, studying these devices.

And Gao Fei is completely a spectator, helping out from the sidelines and so on. As a sports commentator, these things before him are completely useless.

This set of equipment is all intelligent. Compared with the mechanized recording equipment in many studios in China, it is completely at the elementary level of artificial intelligence.

After debugging for a while, Song Song called out a piece of music accompaniment by Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan greeted Li Zhifan to join them, and they played the song to hear the effect after they finished singing.

"This set of equipment has a voice intelligent repair function, which is easier for ordinary sound engineers to operate. Ordinary singers can also record very good vocals." Liu Yuan introduced, and sighed, "Oh, in the future, singers I am afraid that the job is getting harder and harder, and the equipment is getting more and more advanced, and the hard work that the singers have to do is getting less and less."

"You can't say that!"

Li Zhifan flattered, "How can such a great singer like Mr. Liu Yuan be accommodated in this small recording room? Your voice and singing skills are more suitable for outdoor live occasions."

"Don't tell me!"

Liu Yuan said, "Placing this equipment outdoors can also help those singers who are not very good at singing live, but the premise is that the singer must be more or less authentic. If there is no breath, the pitch and rhythm will be messed up. This equipment is also useless."

Gao Song said: "Actually, no one knows how to sing. They are sound addicts. I really want to become a singer. I can put it in the recording studio for a while, and I can also package it. Last time we were a small fresh meat in China, who had no sense of music at all. In the end we A producer of the company found Dilek's team and compiled a song for him. It was electronic music and rap, and he sang every line. As a result, the song became popular when it was released. The popularity was a mess. Fans bought it. The company Made a lot of money."

"What you said...is that..."

Just as Li Zhifan was about to say something, Gao Song interrupted him, "Hush! Just know it in your heart."

Liu Yuan also changed the subject, and returned to this set of equipment: "How is it? Zhifan, do you have any new songs to record recently, you can come to my place, let's play some experimental works."

Although smart devices are convenient for recording, they have different uses and results in the hands of different people.

Liu Yuan definitely didn't get this set of equipment because he thought that recording would be easier than before. Compared with a singer like him, he can record a song casually with his mobile phone, and it can be called perfect without post-production.

High-tech also has other ways of high-tech, such as the keyboard synthesizer, which was originally invented to replace a large piano, and later developed various timbres, a synthesizer can simulate various timbres, and later through synthesis Instruments invented new century music and electronic music. Up to now, electronic music has become the mainstream of popular music in the world.

"I haven't written anything recently!"

Li Zhifan really couldn't remember what song to record for a while, "Mr. Liu Yuan, do you want to record another work? After all, it seems that you haven't released a new work for four or five years."

"I've been creating, I just haven't published it!"

Liu Yuan said with a smile, "At my level, it is definitely easy to produce a song casually, but it must be of quality and lead the times. This is our responsibility to make music. At present, everything has not yet reached my ideal. That state may be broken through tomorrow, or it may take a long time."

What he means is like a half-immortal who has become a master. When he was young, he wandered around the rivers and lakes, competing everywhere for experience and upgrading, and to increase his experience and cultivation. But when he reached the position of master, he no longer just wanted to understand everyone. With higher martial arts attainments, they will practice in closed doors, meditate hard, and wait for the day of great success.

Li Zhifan is still a beginner now, but he still has a heart to explore and pursue a higher level of music. After all, the works he brought to the world are not his own, so he doesn't want everything to be fake. There must be some achievements in technology!
Playing with the new equipment all morning, I ate lunch at Liu Yuan's house. At the eating stall, Liu Yuan casually mentioned something: "Lilith is coming to record in the afternoon, Zhifan, don't rush back, I'll introduce you We know each other."

"Lilith?" Li Zhifan was taken aback, "Celine Lilith? That Celine Lilith who won the Grammy for Best Pop Singer 7 times, 44 nominations, and 23 awards?"

"Correct!"

Seeing Li Zhifan stunned, Liu Yuan smiled lightly, "I have known her for many years, and I have made a lot of music for her, but unfortunately I am incapable of her music style, otherwise I would find a chance to sing with her. "

Celine Lilith's music has always led the trend of American music, and she has also collaborated with many musicians across borders, from rock to rap, from rhythm and blues to electronic dance music, and can be divided into more than a dozen categories.

But Liu Yuan is different. He can't play all the above. Although he has great singing skills and amazing musical talent, due to various reasons, he tried many times and ended in failure.

Suddenly, Liu Yuan glanced at Li Zhifan and said, "By the way, you can? You are a young man, and many of your works are trend-setting. Maybe the two of you collide and create some sparks." !"

"I still forget it!"

Li Zhifan waved his hands again and again, "Don't delay other people's recording, just study next to me."

"Don't be humble!"

Song Song said, "Xiao Li, you are one of the few young musicians in our Chinese music circle who possess super-high standards and musical literacy. We all depend on you for the future."

"Teacher Song praises me too much!"

Li Zhifan smiled modestly, "You will make me proud!"

"Ha ha!"

Several people couldn't help laughing, and the microphone chatted away from this matter again.

Not long after the meal, Lilith came.

Unlike the diva she imagined, Lilith came to Liu Yuan's place alone, carrying a handbag. When she came up, she gave each of the four hugs, and Li Zhifan was also honored to get one.

Lilith does not wear makeup, but she is still beautiful without makeup, but she has more freckles on her face, but she can communicate with a few of them in very fluent Chinese, but there are some Wu Nong soft words in her accent.

"Lilith, let me introduce you to a new friend!"

Liu Yuan pulled Li Zhifan over and introduced her, "This is the most popular young musician and singer in China, Li Zhifan!"

"Hello there!"

Lilith blinked and stretched out her wide palm.

Li Zhifan shook his hand politely: "Hello!"

He didn't say much polite words, because what he knew about Lilith was only the awards she had won and the achievements she had made, and he knew nothing about her music or herself.

Lilith didn't care, she just thought that Li Zhifan was a taciturn person, and it was fine to chat with Liu Yuan Songsong.

"Mr. Liu, I have always wanted to do Huaxia music. It would be best if it could be integrated with the music style I am familiar with. I hope to cooperate with you. We have known each other for so long. It would be a pity if we couldn't cooperate!"

Lilith acted like a student all the way, and treated Liu Yuan with that pleading attitude.

But Liu Yuan had a hard time saying: "I have always wanted to, but I can't sing your music, and the music I am suitable for can't highlight your characteristics. Haven't we studied it many times before?"

"So that's it?"

Lilith pouted, hugged Liu Yuan's arm, and spoke in a coquettish tone.

"Isn't this a new friend for you?"

Liu Yuan turned the topic to Li Zhifan, "Xiao Li came here today, and I happened to arrange a cooperation for the two of you. His singing skills, sense of music, and music quality are all very high. I don't know if you have heard the songs he wrote. Almost Each one is a masterpiece of quality."

"is it?"

Lilith glanced at Li Zhifan curiously, then turned her head to chat with Liu Yuan, "If you recommend it, of course I want to cooperate with more Chinese musicians, but that's another matter. What I just said is mainly work with you."

"Let's find another chance!"

Liu Yuan was ambiguous, maybe he was really forced by Lilith's music style, so there was still some bitterness of fear on his face.

Today's recording work is mainly performed by Song Song, and Liu Yuan is only responsible for some vocal processing issues.

Although Song Song can't sing, he is versatile in music production. From the Chinese pop music in the late 80s to the American pop music now, he has served six generations of singers in the domestic entertainment circle, and he often talks to various types of singers abroad. Musicians collaborate.

So today's production is not a problem for him at all.

Lilith's album is mainly produced in the Chinese oriental style.

For musicians like them, the overall style of making an album is consistent.

The whole album will not suddenly appear a piece of music that does not match the style of other songs. Even if only five songs are included, these five songs must have a unified style.

Lilith took out the USB flash drive from her bag and handed it to Song Song: "How many songs can you record today?"

Song Song said casually: "If it goes well, I can record two songs. After all, you have participated in the preliminary work, and you must have learned these songs already!"

Song Song and Liu Yuan also worked together to produce the accompaniment music in the early stage. I don’t know where, but up to now, only vocal recording and post-processing work needs to be completed.

Everyone imagined that it went smoothly, but the first song had a few minor problems.

This is electronic music with an oriental style. The mode and timbre imitation all have the shadow of Chinese music, but when Lilith was recording, the feeling of singing could not be close.

It's not that she can't sing well enough, but that the melody and accompaniment are completely different tracks, as if forcibly adding the characteristics of western pop music to the accompaniment of Chinese music.

"No, no!"

Liu Yuan stopped for the nth time, "Sing more softly, I'll change a few notes of the melody, try again."

Lilith didn't bother, she nodded and waited for Liu Yuan to come up with the result of the modification.

After making the changes, Lilith thought about it several times, and then continued to record directly, but this time, after singing a few lines, Liu Yuan stopped, and then said to himself: "No, why is there still a kind of disharmony? a feeling of?"

Li Zhifan has been listening to it all the time. Music can give people a sense of imagery. I just heard Lilith's singing. Not only did I not have the beauty of a western goddess entering the oriental fantasy world, but it also felt like a western witch was fighting with an oriental fairy formation. .

The reason wasn't Lilith's tone and melody, but as for where, he couldn't say for a while.

The recording work has reached an impasse, and it is impossible to go to the next step.

Liu Yuan even took out the manuscript and started to make music about the problems of the song.

The melody of this song was written by Liu Yuan, the lyrics were written by others, and the accompaniment music was written by Liu Yuan and Song Song according to the melody and harmony and Lilith's style.

But I didn't expect it to be recorded, but I was surprised.

The reason why the song is good lies in the word "harmony". Only harmonious music can be good, and disharmony is noise. If there are disharmonious intervals in the recording, there will be a sense of separation.

Just when Liu Yuan was scratching his head for a while, Li Zhifan suddenly thought of something, can he change a Chinese minor tune into the song and replace the discordant melody of the original song?

But if this is the case, the harmony of the accompaniment music will also have to be changed.

Li Zhifan walked up to Song Song and asked, "Mr. Song, can you still change the harmony of the accompaniment?"

"Yes, yes, I have original engineering documents here, what do you want?"

Song Song looked at Li Zhifan suspiciously, and suddenly his eyes lit up with hope, "Ah! You mean...there is something out of harmony?"
