Chapter 238 I can't find the feeling(1/2)
"how do you feel?"
After the song was changed and played again, Qiu Ming turned to ask Hu Rui and Zou Xin.
To be honest, if you listen to this piece of music dryly, it won't make much difference to ordinary people.
Only those who understand music can tell the difference between good and bad.
Hu Rui simply thought the music sounded good and didn't have much other opinions.
Zou Xin, on the other hand, was originally a popular singing graduate from a music school in China, so she has her own ability to discern music.
The song had not been changed before. After listening to it for the first time, she already felt it was very good.
It was really the kind of song that could be sung right out of the box. Both the arrangement and the music were done so well that she couldn't help but want to hum the lyrics she had already memorized in her heart.
Then, after the song was played, she heard Qiu Ming casually ask the engineers to make changes.
After the modification, the song was played a second time.
Zou Xin listened carefully to the part that Qiu Ming asked the engineers to modify, and felt that the music really sounded better.
Although it is only a small change, it brings a lot of changes in the temperament of the song.
The drum beat slowed down, and the music suddenly took on an ethereal feeling, especially the silent pause at the end, as if everything was really returning to silence, with a sense of transition.
"It's really amazing, your grasp is so accurate..."
Zou Xin couldn't help but glance at Qiu Ming's back, thinking silently in her heart.
This is no longer simply knowledge of music theory or technical proficiency, it has completely risen to the level of intuition and feeling for music.
Qiu Ming must be very clear about what kind of feeling he wants, and then what methods he can use to achieve his feeling. This is almost like entering a state of transformation.
Zou Xin felt that if she had been in it, she would never have thought of such a modification, let alone like Qiu Ming, who would have casually pointed it out.
So, for her, this was the gap, and it made her feel once again how far she was from the songwriter in front of her in the professional field.
Hearing Qiu Ming's question, she nodded: "Very good!"
Then, as if he didn't realize it was enough, he added another sentence: "This song is so well done!"
"Oh, okay, let's use this!"
Qiu Ming actually feels that the current effect of this song is almost consistent with the feeling in his mind, which is quite good.
The question I asked Hu Rui and Zou Xin just now was just a gesture to show respect.
Now that Zou Xin said this, he turned to the track engineer and said: "That's it, get ready, now let Teacher Zou Xin go in and try out the singing."
"Okay, Teacher Xiaoming, please wait a moment."
The track engineer agreed and immediately started working quickly.
Qiu Ming turned around and said to Zou Xin: "Teacher Zou Xin, please prepare yourself and go in to audition later."
Zou Xin pondered for a moment and said softly: "Teacher Xiaoming, please just call me Zou Xin from now on."
She was really embarrassed when she heard Qiu Ming call her "Teacher Zou Xin" repeatedly, because she felt that she couldn't bear the title of "teacher" in front of Qiu Ming.
Qiu Ming was not the kind of mother-in-law. He nodded when he heard this: "Okay, Zou Xin, after you go in later, it doesn't matter the first few times. You can find the feeling by yourself. When you get the feeling right, we will
Start recording."
When Zou Xin heard this, she was stunned for a moment.
Before she could speak, Hu Rui who was behind heard Qiu Ming's words and was surprised and asked: "Qiu Ming, are you going to record songs today?"
"um, yes!"
Qiu Ming looked at the time and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "It's still early today, so it should be fine."
"this……"
Hu Rui looked at the expression on Qiu Ming's face and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Under normal circumstances, when a song like today has just been finished, the main thing a singer needs to do when entering the recording studio is to listen to the song, get familiar with it, and find the right feel for the song and lyrics.
Then, if the singer has his or her own opinion about what is good or bad, he or she will discuss it with the producer and engineers to see if modifications can be made.
Once the song is completely finished, you will actually start recording the vocals.
This stage of recording vocals is probably what we call recording songs in the usual sense.
However, recording vocals is not something you can start recording all at once, nor can it be done in just a few clicks.
Not to mention that singers need to find the feeling of singing, but if some singers are of average skill, they may even have to edit and transcribe word for word, and I don’t know how much time it will take.
This is why some singers on the market today have good songs, but their live singing skills are simply unpalatable.
Because they are studio singers, they can only "sing" the songs by relying on the recording studio equipment to modify their sound.
Zou Xin's singing skills are definitely no problem, which is the main reason why she has become popular in the music industry over the years.
When she records songs in the studio, as long as she feels that she has found the right song, it will be done very quickly.
However, this also requires a process of finding feelings.
Now Qiu Ming actually said that he wanted to start recording as soon as he came, and that he would record this song one day, which completely subverted Hu Rui's normal understanding.
The key point is that all the engineers looked normal, as if they were accustomed to it and took it for granted. Hu Rui felt that if he asked more questions, he would be offended by Qiu Ming.
Zou Xin probably had the same idea as her agent, so she was stunned just now.
On the contrary, Qiu Ming saw Hu Rui's surprise and asked, "Brother Hu, is there any problem?"
"No...no problem!"
Hu Rui could only say this.
He had already made up his mind. This was their first cooperation, so he could pretend he knew nothing and see what Qiu Ming's specific working methods were like.
If you really have a problem, bring it up later.
Anyway, he still trusted Qiu Ming's ability, and he also wanted to try his best to improve his relationship with Qiu Ming, so from the beginning, he put himself in a relatively low position.
Clearing his throat, he turned to Zou Xin and said, "Xinxin, if that's the case, you should try it first and see if you can find the feeling."
Zou Xin and Hu Rui looked at each other. They had known each other for many years and had a tacit understanding. They could understand each other with just one look.
Hu Rui probably means: Just try as he says, don't force it, and if it doesn't work, we'll talk about it again.
So, after Zou Xin thought about it, she took off her coat, calmly started to expand her chest and raise her head to relax her throat, and started to get ready.
Qiu Ming watched Zou Xin's movements with great interest and found it quite novel.
He has long heard that some famous singers have their own little habits before singing.
Some like to close their eyes and meditate, some like to eat something, some like to be alone in silence and spin around twice...
All in all, everyone's habits are different, and it can be considered an anecdote when it comes to going outside.
As for the singer Xu Jinrong, who Qiu Ming has interacted with the most, she likes to drink lemon black tea with honey before singing.
Wang Yuan also secretly told him at that time that singers should not drink water before and during singing, because drinking water will dry out the throat and make it easier to feel uncomfortable. But Xu Jingrong could not change this habit because
She herself thinks this would be better. If she doesn't do this, she will always feel like something is missing when she sings.
Zou Xin's behavior now is probably her habit.
Because of Zou Xin's pre-singing preparations, Qiu Ming noticed Zou Xin's figure for the first time and discovered that this female singer was actually quite promising.
When it comes to appearance, although Zou Xin can be considered beautiful, whether she is compared with Xu Jinrong, Chu Xiaoling, or Jin Yinger, she looks a little worse...even compared with Qin Shu, who is the same age.
She can't compare either.
But now seeing her making preparations, Qiu Ming felt that she was the kind of woman who could score 80% in all aspects.
It's very even and well-proportioned, and every part is beautiful if you look closely.
Especially her figure, bulging chest, and perky buttocks, coupled with her fair complexion, may be a 100% score in the eyes of some people.
As a star, you need to have good looks and good looks, and you need to be strong and capable, and you are already a star.
It can only be said that it is luck and character that lead to the fate of being denounced by the entire Internet after being infected by people who should not be infected.
After making preparations, Zou Xin walked directly into the recording studio.
She put the song manuscript in her hand on the music stand and said, "Can you play the song again first?"
Since entering the recording studio, Zou Xin's aura seems to have changed from the inside out, from being weak before to becoming a bit tougher.
Perhaps this is because she has huge self-confidence in her own professional field, making her the king in her field.
After playing the song again, Zou Xin expressed in the recording studio that she could sing.
Then, the audition begins.
Zou Xin found the entry point very accurately and sang according to her own understanding of the song.
Overall, her singing was still very smooth. Even though the second chorus was relatively fast, she had a problem with missing words once or twice, but she passed it without going out of tune.
After singing the song, the feeling of the whole song comes out.
If it was like a blind man touching an elephant before, now it's like the outline of an elephant finally appears in front of everyone.
To be continued...
