Chapter 817 The top international album production team?
"Oh! Welcome back to the United States!"
"Ye, I miss you so much in the days when you are away."
As soon as Ye Weiyang got off the plane, he was hugged by Ethan.
Ethan smiled so brightly on his face. After hugging Yang Xiao and the others one by one, he couldn't wait to say, "The recording studio and the top music producers are all ready, just waiting for you to come."
"To be honest, Ye, your Chinese album can actually be recorded in the United States."
"The music producers here are the top music producers in the world. As a top international band, you should use the international production team!"
"If you want to record a Chinese album next time, come to the United States to record it!"
Faced with Ethan's warm greeting, Ye Weiyang smiled and said nothing.
Chinese-language albums come to the United States to record?
Pull it down.
Although many domestic singers always like to use gimmicks such as "international production team" and "Grammy Award-winning producer" to gilt their new album.
But Ye Weiyang was not interested in this approach.
Do American music producers understand Chinese music?
Can you understand Chinese songs?
Can you understand the emotions in the lyrics?
It is undeniable that those domestic singers are indeed looking for big-name producers, and they are all big shots who have made albums for internationally renowned singers.
But no matter how big the guy is, he is also a big guy in English music production.
Let them come to produce Chinese albums, that's not a big deal!
At most, they can only do some mastering work, which does not require language division.
But in terms of recording, you still have to ask a serious Chinese music producer to do it!
I made an album, and the production list was full of a series of foreign names, which seemed to be very tall.
But in fact, most of the albums made in this way are inappropriate products.
"Kun Kun" likes to find foreign music producers to help make songs.
What kind of songs do you make?
Well, the songs made are indeed very "international". They sound full of American flavor, and the electronic popular flavor is full.
But does it sound good?
Can it be accepted by Chinese audiences?
I can only say that I really enjoyed playing, and I also showed off my skills, but everyone didn't pay.
With these past lessons, Ye Weiyang was beaten by firecrackers, so he found a team of North American music producers to make a Chinese album.
"Ethan, you've got your kindness, but Chinese and English albums are different, so I still like to do them in China."
"Of course, our English album still needs a team of top North American producers to cooperate."
"I believe you've done it, right?"
Hearing Ye Weiyang's "trust", Ethan proudly patted his chest: "Of course!"
"I've prepared everything for you!"
"The recording artist is Duger Norman, who won the Grammys, who just made an album for American legendary singer Justin Ryan last year."
"The mixer is Eck Holden, who is also a big shot who has won the Grammy."
"And the mastering engineer is..."
Ethan carefully and meticulously introduced to Ye Weiyang the album production team that Warner carefully prepared for them.
Compared to the casualness of producing "21", Warner spent a lot of money this time to prepare a Grammy-level team for the band that never closed. Each of them is a big shot who has won the Grammys.
However, when Ye Weiyang heard that Warner was preparing an arrangement player, he immediately interrupted: "Ethan, I can handle the arrangement myself, so I don't need to ask others for help."
"It is better for our band to complete the songs in terms of composing and lyrics and arrangements by ourselves."
"This is also my usual attitude. From the moment I debuted, whether it is Chinese, Japanese, or English, I have arranged it myself."
What a joke.
As the most important part of a song, how could Ye Weiyang pretend to be a lie?
For the same song, if two people arrange it, it is possible to write two songs with completely different styles.
Simply changing the main instrument from a piano to a guitar or a guzheng will make the whole song sound completely different.
Not to mention the complex string arrangements of some songs, it can move the whole body with one blow.
With the successful arrangement of songs in previous life, how could Ye Weiyang let others arrange them?
Even if this "other" is the most professional and outstanding arrangement master in this world.
However, arrangements that have been tested by the market and have been greatly successful are definitely more reliable.
He absolutely dares not be lazy in this thing, he must "copy" it by himself.
But Ethan didn't know that Ye Weiyang was worried. He hesitated for a moment and persuaded tactfully: "Ye, this time your English second major is very important, and it is not an exaggeration to pay attention to it."
"Even if you like to arrange your own music, it is a good choice to provide more professional arrangement artists with advice and suggestions."
"You have a good saying in China: One person is short, two people are the best, and one more person is the best."
"The arrangement engineer I contacted for you, but Serus Jansen, who has won the best arrangement of Grammy three times, is not easy to invite him."
"I have been useless for a lot of effort. He is willing to help for your sake."
Unfortunately, Ye Weiyang was unmoved at all in the face of Ethan's persuasion.
"I have already written almost all the songs for this new album and have almost done the arrangement."
"Music creation is a very self-concern. As an excellent musician, I don't need anyone to point fingers."
"Give me another half month and I will be able to do it all."
“You can start recording in the studio at that time.”
Ye Weiyang's firm rejection made Ethan smile bitterly.
"I knew that musicians like you who have achieved excellent results at a young age must be a bit arrogant."
"I haven't noticed your arrogance before, but now I've seen it. It turns out that it's in this regard."
"Okok, you are the boss, I heard."
Ethan knows very well what those of art-related people are like.
Those who are engaged in art will have some "eccentricity", which is better called having personality.
Making music is of course a kind of art.
Ye Weiyang is unhappy to create music with others and likes to be arbitrary. This kind of thing is also very common in the music circle.
Some musicians like to communicate with others and even collaborate on creating together.
Some musicians are very confident in their creative abilities, never seek help from others, or even unwilling to let others interfere in their works.
Obviously Ye Weiyang belongs to the latter.
Shrugged, Ethan did not argue too much with Ye Weiyang on this topic, but skipped: "I will report to the company where Serrus Jansen came from and where to go."
"I will try to explain to him that it is the company's decision, not that you hate him."
"I hope he can be more understanding."
