Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 126 Gurgling
Lu Yao never thought that recording would be such a hard job.

He had already sung it five times, and when his voice began to become hoarse, the other party stopped him directly.

"Okay, you guys take a break first. Come out and listen to the effect of the last one."

Wu Mengqi, who had already learned from Li Da that the guitarist Mr. Xu had a "powerful background", said.

A few people then took off their headphones and walked out.

After Lu Yao came out, he started drinking water and had already finished the bottle.

Li Da also directly introduced Wu Mengqi.

When a few people heard this...it turned out that this was not a stranger at all, but one of the great producers in the music industry, they immediately became a little reserved.

Wu Mengqi naturally did not put on airs, he just said:

"Let's listen to the results you just recorded. I'll tell you the pros and cons. Then, when we record the instruments later, I'll focus on making some changes. Please also listen to my opinion on this song. How about that?"

Several “newbies” nodded subconsciously.

Soon, the music started.

"This time, your performance was the most stable..."

Following the music, Wu Mengqi began to express his own views.

In terms of the level of understanding, he actually has the same understanding as everyone in the band.

That is, this light rock song must have a vigorous vitality. This is especially true after learning that the song's title is simply "Flowers".

After linking the lyrics and rhythm and finding the theme of "vitality", all musical styles can begin to move towards this big proposition.

"Bassist, I just asked you to make the bass sound stronger. Now listen... After the bass sound is strengthened, imagine a seed buried in the soil. Your bass sound is like the vitality of the seed, surging in the soil. How is it? Do you have this feeling?"

"Drummer, the reason why you are bolder is because of this sense of grandeur. The grandeur we are talking about does not only refer to bigness in a broad sense, it is more like the thunder in spring. The thunder appears, and it sounds like the awakening of insects..."

"The harmony is not quite right. I think it should have a narrative poem feel..."

I have to admit that an expert can tell whether something is good or not just by taking a look.

Wu Mengqi could tell at a glance that these people were unorthodox, so he did not give any professional corrections. In addition to the music theory knowledge that every instrumentalist must have, he used more figurative analogies to let everyone feel the emotion of the song from an idealistic perspective.

The disadvantage of this is that it requires trial and error. Everyone understands these words differently, and it may take a long time to understand what they mean.

But the advantage is that the words are straightforward enough.

Can provide directions for improving defects.

Now... everyone is convinced.

It is easy to understand what others say, and I know where I am wrong. And when I listen to the music, I can also intuitively feel my mistakes.

It seemed like my thoughts suddenly opened up.

There is a sense of clarity that comes as a sudden enlightenment.

This person... is a great god.

This is the most intuitive thought that comes to everyone's mind after hearing him interpret the song bit by bit.

After talking about all the songs that he felt were not well prepared, Wu Mengqi said again:

"Have you remembered all these improvements?"

Several children nodded quickly, just like primary school students facing their class teacher.

Seeing this, Wu Mengqi said:

"Then you can start sampling instruments. Bass first."

"Ah? ...Okay, okay, teacher."

Zhang Lina quickly stood up and took a few tentative steps into the soundproof room, then paused:
"I...I'm going in?"

"Well, go ahead, just follow the rhythm."

"Ok."

The girl walked in timidly, picked up the bass and put on her headphones.

Wu Mengqi said into the microphone:

"You don't have to play it yet. Let's play the sampled song. Listen to it and think about what I just said."

"Ok."

Zhang Lina nodded.

Soon, the accompaniment sounded in the recording studio.

At this time, Wu Mengqi turned to Lu Yao and the others and asked:

"How old are you all?"

Just now, Li Da told everything he knew, but the problem is that what he knew was limited.

So Wu Mengqi didn't know much about these people.

Several people reported their age as "18".

Wu Mengqi was stunned and asked in surprise:
"Are you still students?"

Wei Qianqian nodded:
"Yes, Mr. Wu, we are freshmen at Fuhua University."

"..."

Wu Mengqi was surprised now.

Fuhua University?

He is a top student.

He had a better impression of these people.

Rock music is not necessarily rebellious, the most important thing is to have your own opinions and style.

Don't follow blindly, don't follow others, be independent and self-reliant.

It seems natural for these outstanding children of the same age to write such songs:
“Who wrote this song?”

"he."

Master Xu pointed at Lu Yao who raised his hand.

"What about the words?"

Wu Mengqi stared at Lu Yao and continued to ask.

"Uh...me too."

Hearing this, he was surprised again.

This kid... is quite talented.

After thinking for a while, he asked again:
"How much experience do you have performing in a band?"

"No."

Wei Qianqian shook her head:
"Teacher Wu, we are not a professional band. We came here to record... We are going to perform a show at our school's New Year's Eve party, and then... He said he had a place to record, so we came here."

She pointed at Xu Ruochen and said this. Although Wu Mengqi showed no emotion on the surface, she was completely speechless inside.

What do you mean?
The purpose of this song is not to be released, but to be sung in school on New Year's Day?
???

Don’t you top students understand what it means to make the most of nature’s gifts?

Don’t you know what it means to use a talent that is not worth the effort?

This……

"So you don't have an agent either?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Several people looked at each other and shook their heads.

Lu Yao thought to himself, why do we need an agent?

What's more...what kind of agent can control Young Master Xu of our band?
Now it was Li Da and Wu Mengqi's turn to be speechless.

But after being speechless, Wu Mengqi took the initiative to speak:
"How about I collaborate with you on this song? I'll be the producer of this song."

"what?"

Several people were stunned.

I never thought... that this big guy would actually take the initiative to speak.

Seeing the surprised looks of several people, Wu Mengqi smiled and asked:

"What's the name of your band?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Looking at the few people who were "dead silent", he was stunned for a moment, then revealed an expression of realization but not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"You haven't picked a name yet?"

"...Teacher Wu, we have only been established for a few days."

Wei Qianqian spoke again, somewhat embarrassedly:

"I didn't have that many ideas at first. I just wanted to... perform it at the New Year's Eve party. I didn't even think of a name..."

"So do you want to pursue a career in music?"

"Uh……"

After he asked, several people looked at each other again.

You look at me, I look at you.

then……

Although there was no communication, they shook their heads in tacit understanding at the same time:

"No."

Everyone gave very direct answers.

This has given Li Da and Wu Mengqi a hard time.

You have no intention of pursuing a career in music?
Mr. Xu’s thoughts are very simple.

If my family knew that I didn’t study hard and instead pursued music and entered the entertainment industry... I would probably beat me to death.

Lu Yao thought, my Beidou radio frequency chip has not been developed yet, why should I enter the entertainment industry?
Wei Qianqian: If I want to pursue music, I would have gone to Berklee a long time ago. I have been pursuing something all my life but still cannot catch up with Lang Lang, so what am I pursuing?
As for Zhao Hang, it was even simpler. My dad asked me to take over his job at Sinopec after graduation and do music...especially rock music. Wouldn't I starve to death?
Not to mention Zhang Lina.

She had no idea what anyone was talking about.

At this moment, my mind is full of thoughts: What does it mean that the vitality of seeds is surging in the soil?

surge?

Gu Yong Bei?
Isn't that an earthworm?

Why is this reading comprehension so difficult?

The tacit reactions of the few people made Wu Mengqi couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Haha~"

He shook his head with a smile, and suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Because he has seen too many singers showing a "cocky" look after hearing his name.

But unexpectedly, these kids... weren't thinking about this at all.

Everyone has his or her own pursuits.

Hmm... How should I put it? As expected, he is a top student of Fuhua University?

Do you have a very clear understanding of your pursuit in life?
Somehow, his impression of Fuhua University and these children became better.

I was thinking whether I should let my girl meet these brothers and sisters, and get some advice... and then work hard to get into Fuhua?
Putting aside other things, just looking at these children, Fuhua’s school spirit is unexpectedly good.

So, he stopped struggling and nodded and said:
"How about I help you produce this song?"

"Uh...will this be too much trouble for Teacher Wu?"

Wei Qianqian said tentatively. But Wu Mengqi smiled and waved his hand:
“It’s okay. I like this song.”

The corner of Li Da's mouth twitched.

I thought to myself, brother, you don’t even want to talk about the cost?
Pure working for nothing?

However, he didn't speak.

On the one hand, it was unnecessary, since what I gained was a favor from Mr. Li. On the other hand… since Mr. Wu was the one who made the song, it must be released. As for the release and other things, that was the company's business. How the company negotiated was their business, and it had nothing to do with me.

"Then thank you, Mr. Wu."

Master Xu spoke.

"Well. Then let me tell you about the next work. First of all, the arrangement needs to be more detailed. Your task today is to sample all the instruments, and then give me some time to perfect it..."

With professionals on hand, everything becomes different.

And Zhang Lina finally understood how to play the instrument.

Imagine yourself as an earthworm.

Gurgling in the mud
Hey!
I'm so smart!

……

"It's just... like a dream."

As the lights came on, Zhang Lina looked at the flashing neon lights of Lujiazui and couldn't help but complain.

"Are we going to become big stars?"

"I'm dreaming."

Zhao Hang rolled his eyes:
"Teacher Wu hasn't mentioned the fee yet. I just checked on Baidu, and there's a fee for producing songs... shall we pay for this?"

"No need."

As soon as Master Xu opened his mouth, he quickly shook his head:

"That won't work. I can't let you go out by yourself."

“No one mentioned the cost.”

Wei Qianqian said what Mr. Xu wanted to say:
"Besides, if it is really produced and released...if someone listens to it, there should be some profit, right? I can just pay it back then...Is that right?"

Zhao Hang nodded:
"That should be it. He's a great guy, he definitely wouldn't work for nothing, right?"

Zhang Lina is somewhat naive:
"Is there a possibility that Teacher Wu really likes our song?"

Zhao Hang:

"Even if you like it, you won't help me for nothing, right?"

Lu Yao smiled and shook his head:
"Maybe it's a gentleman's agreement. If he doesn't mention it, then let's not mention it for now. It's good that everyone knows it."

After hearing his words, everyone nodded except Mr. Xu who was speechless.

but……

"It's like a dream. It's just a school performance... How... can I become a singer? If I become a big star... can I sing with JJ Lin?"

Looking at Zhang Lina's crazy look, Zhao Hang asked with a smile:

"Do you like Lin Junjie?"

"Yeah, I like him so much!"

"I don't think people will like you."

"Kick you to death!"

The girl threw a flying kick, but it was dodged.

"Okay, stop messing around and get back to school. Remember to arrange your classes tomorrow afternoon. We'll come together then so we don't get late."

After Wei Qianqian finished speaking, Master Xu sneered:
"Don't worry, you don't need to tell Lu Yao this, he doesn't even attend class."

"That's because dude is a genius."

"Ugh~ I can't take it anymore. I want to vomit."

"Hahahahaha..."

A few people were talking and laughing as they walked towards the subway station.

As for musical dreams... they're too far away.

Not considered at the moment.

I haven't thought about it.

Just go with the flow, after all, we are still students.

Study is the main thing.

……

"Can't you just talk to me or sing a little song for me? Baby, please~"

"..."

Xu Ruochu subconsciously clenched his toes and raised his head speechlessly.

Looking at Sister Li, who was sitting cross-legged on her sofa and acting like a spoiled child on the phone, she sighed speechlessly:

"Hey... Sister, can you go back to your own home?"

"?"

Hu Li looked up at her and asked:

"what's wrong?"

"...What do you think?"

Xu Ruochu's face was full of helplessness:

"You've been holding the phone since you came to my house... Can you two just go home and make the call? Why do you have to come to my place?"

"Hehe, it's not a phone call, it's MiTalk, which allows voice chat. If you're the next one, we can also have a voice chat, so there's no need to make phone calls."

"..."

Apart from anything else, Xu Ruochu's toes were clenched again.

She really couldn't stand the woman in front of her.

Ever since she started dating Lu Yao, she has become like a different person, acting like a spoiled child all the time... acting like a spoiled child every day... acting like a spoiled child every minute and every second!
"You are so annoying!!!! Can't you two talk in a normal tone?!"

"Hehehehe~"

Seeing that she was going crazy, Hu Li laughed even more happily.

He stood up and walked directly to the dining table, mercilessly snatching the laptop in front of Xu Ruochu:

"I want to ask you a favor."

"……what?"

As she spoke, she opened her notebook again, but it was closed again the next second.

"Sister, I'm working!"

"It's time to get off work. Who would still get off work after work? Hey, can you give Xiaochen a call? ... Just tell him that he and Lu Yao are working on a new song and you want to listen to it..."

"..."

Xu Ruochu felt a slight pain in his head.

Can't help but say:
"Do you think... with your boyfriend's brain, he would not have thought that you would use such a despicable method to get information from Xiaochen? He must have talked to Xiaochen about it."

"…He doesn't love me anymore. Wuuuu…"

"..."

Xu Ruochu estimated that his blood pressure must be over 180 at this moment.

I never noticed before... How come this guy loses all his brains when he starts dating?
At this moment, Hu Li's phone suddenly rang.

She pretended to cry and glanced at the screen. She found it was an unfamiliar number and answered it with some confusion:
"Hello?"

"Hu Li, this is Wang Rui. Why didn't you tell me that you changed your phone number?"

A gentle male voice came from the speakerphone.

But Hu Li was a little puzzled:

"Who?"

"Wang Rui, haven't we seen a movie together?"

"..."

The sweet-looking lady's face suddenly turned cold:

"Who gave you my phone number?"

"Uh... don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. Are you in the Magic City now?"

"I! Ask! You! Who gave you my phone number?"

"..."

"You don't want to say it, right? Haha."

Hu Li sneered:
"Okay, I'll give you a favor and I won't ask, but you have to tell the person who gave you the number that this is the last time if you don't want me to find out and kill him. Also, don't call me next time. You only have this one chance."

pat.

The call was immediately hung up.

"..."

Xu Ruochu's brows also frowned:
“How many people did you give your phone number to?”

"Less than ten."

“…That’s easy to check.”

"Ah."

Although Hu Li agreed, he shook his head:

"That's not necessary. I've given you face. If you don't hold back, don't blame me next time... Ah Xi! So annoying! My good mood is gone!"

She scratched her hair irritably.

Xu Ruochu reopened his notebook and said to the screen:
"Yesterday's cause, today's result. You should be glad that Lu Yao is not around."

"...You are not allowed to tell him, do you hear me?! I don't want him to be unhappy."

"I can not say."

After Xu Ruochu finished speaking, he glanced at Sister Xiaoli opposite him and suddenly asked:
"But...some things, don't you plan for them earlier?"

"..."

Hu Li pursed her lips instinctively.

With a "ding" sound, Lu Yao replied to the message.

A voice came out from the speaker:
"Don't have any bad thoughts. I just talked to Brother Xiaochen. You'd better give up this idea before the New Year's Day performance."

Her unhappy expression immediately turned into a somewhat shy and aggrieved one:
"Oh, you're annoying! Just tell me..."

After she finished speaking into the microphone, she noticed that Xu Ruochu was still staring at her, and the shy look on her face showed signs of fading again.

only……

This time, she escaped.

"Xiaobu, let's go. Let's go home! ... I'm going home."

"Ah."

Xu Ruochu did not try to keep him.

Watching my friend flee from his home.

After the door closed, she looked at the report on her computer screen and suddenly sighed:
"Ugh."
