"Crack", the key was turned, the lock was unlocked, and a light voice sounded slightly in the tranquility of the morning. With the sound of the wheels rolling slowly in the track, a ray of light vented down, tearing apart the darkness in the room, the quiet and warm air suddenly became restless, and the cold wind dispelled the dullness and harmony in the field of vision. turbid.

Matthew Dunlop skillfully placed his briefcase on the sofa, walked to the window with steady steps, and pulled the tight blackout curtains "swish", and the thin sunlight shone down. , the rich night was like a wave receding, and it tumbled and dissipated. In a blink of an eye, the whole room became bright.

In the early spring of New York, the sun is not dazzling. The dense high-rise buildings seem to support the sky high and far, passing through thousands of difficulties and obstacles, and through the steel forest. When it hits the ground, the golden sunlight is no longer dazzling, nor will it be The scorching heat, on the contrary, was contaminated with a little winter breath that has not yet dissipated.

But compared to London, the weather is not bad.

There was a sound of turning over on the bed on the left, and without looking back, Matthew knew that Renly must have hid in the quilt again, covering his head with the quilt, refusing the call from the warm morning light.

"Renly, get up." Matthew shouted, his steady voice broke the silence of the room, destroyed the last evidence of the night, and officially announced the arrival of a new day, "There is still a whole day of work today, These are your original words, not mine." After Matthew Shi Shiran finished speaking, he ignored Renly and walked towards the kitchen.

Renly covered his ears with a pillow, covered his eyes with a quilt, artificially created a quiet and dark effect, and continued to float up and down in his sleep. But within a short while, the smell of fried eggs began to waft in the air, and after consuming all night's energy, my stomach began to rumble unsatisfactorily.

Really annoying.

Today is the first day of working in the recording studio, the beginning of a new life, which is a completely different form of work from filming.

Strictly speaking, filming and recording are actually a kind of artistic creation, depending on the inspiration and state of the performers, showing different forms of art. If inspiration bursts, whether filming or recording, it is smooth and unstoppable; Otherwise, it will be stumbling, intermittent, and unsustainable.

But the biggest difference between filming and recording is that filming is more inclined to work in groups, while recording is more inclined to work alone.

Shooting a scene requires at least the coordination of multiple links such as camera, lighting, drama, actors, and director. If an actor can't find the status, either the entire crew waits for one person to adjust the status, or temporarily shoot other actors. For the role, the whole day's work will always be maintained at about eight hours, and overtime work should be avoided as much as possible.

Especially at the moment when the film industry is well-developed, due to the poor state of a big-name actor, the entire production crew has been suspended and the whole day's work has to be cancelled. It still exists, but it is gradually decreasing.

Recording a song is basically a matter between the singer and the producer, plus a recording engineer at most—many times, the producer also serves as a recording engineer at the same time. Once the singer can't find the state, even if the producer pulls out his hair, it is helpless.

A song only takes four minutes. When the inspiration is outstanding, the entire song can be recorded in less than half an hour; but when the inspiration is bad, I am stuck in the studio for 12 hours and can’t record what I want. Effect. Everything is uncertain and completely dependent on work inspiration and presence.

Therefore, recording is a job with no start time and no end time. The process of recording depends entirely on the status of the singer and the effect of the recording that day. It may start at 12 noon and end before 3 o'clock. It may also start at ten in the morning and not end until twelve in the evening.

In essence, this is the work of artistic creation; but in terms of form, the film has formed a shooting system, and the music still maintains the artist's randomness and freedom.

Generally speaking, the film crew works eight hours a day. If there are no special shooting requirements such as night scenes, sunrises, and sunsets, then they start work at 9:00 every day, take a two-hour break at noon, and leave work at 7:00 in the evening. Especially for those works that are shot in the studio, the life of the crew is no different from that of office workers.

But musicians are different. Most musicians are nocturnal animals. They are used to composing in the dead of night. Even if it is not, the night is also the time for parties and carnivals. In addition, due to physical reasons in the morning, it is not easy for singers to open their voices and get up at seven in the morning. Singing, even the sounds of nature can turn into a disaster.

So, most of the recording work started in the afternoon and continued into the evening, even overnight. Even if it starts in the morning, most singers will choose ten or even after eleven. The form of work is very different.

Although the arts are all the same, the differences between different arts are also huge. Getting into the production of the album was indeed a whole new challenge for Renly. Even though two singles have been recorded in Sound City before, the production of the entire album is obviously on a different level, which is really exciting.

As a rule, Renly does not need to get up at 7:30 every day like during filming. Today he can sleep until he wakes up naturally. After lunch, he will go to the recording studio and start his work today; but today is the first time he enters the recording studio. One day, the beginning of everything from scratch, the situation is more special.

Before officially entering the professional work of recording, make

The composer and the sound engineer need to have a consensus on the tone of the album, including the style of arrangement, the way of singing, the emphasis of interpretation, etc., which will have a joint impact on the singer's recording, which can be said to determine the direction of the work. key.

Although George Slender is the producer of the entire album, all the tracks on the album come from the creation of Renly. From this perspective, Renly is also one of the producers of the album; more importantly, Renly Li is currently composing all the original songs. Before recording, it needs to be arranged according to the style of the album and the positioning of the singer. This is a crucial part, and Renly cannot be absent.

In addition, to enter a brand new recording studio, Renly also needs to be familiar with the equipment, the production team, and the rhythm of the recording work, etc. These are the basic links that take time to break in.

George said that he would arrive at the recording studio around 9:30. He would first communicate with the recording engineer to get acquainted with them, and Renly would show up around 10:00. The main job on the first day is to set the tone. If everything goes well, you can start recording at any time; but if there are differences during the discussion, the recording work will not start so quickly.

As usual, Renly set the alarm for eight o'clock, so he could stay in bed for ten or fifteen minutes, and get up before 8:30. Room, time is still more than enough. But I didn't expect that Matthew would show up so punctually. Without looking at the alarm clock, Renly knew that it must be exactly eight o'clock.

Renly couldn't help holding his forehead, knowing that he wouldn't have given Nathan a holiday.

Not to mention that the main job this morning is to determine the style and tone of the album, the assistant can't help at all, even during the recording process, the assistant's role is very limited.

Different from the filming of the crew, in the process of recording, more often it is the communication between the singer and the producer, and the entanglement between the singer and himself. Others can hardly help - on the contrary, it may be a disservice; moreover, work The space is also always fixed in the recording room, fully furnished and does not need to be moved or taken care of.

In other words, the meaning of an assistant's existence is very weak. At most, during lunch, he helps to order food and order takeout; in the afternoon, he helps to buy one and buy afternoon tea, and then, under special circumstances, helps to run errands. That's all.

So Renly asked Nathan to continue on vacation and show up directly in the studio around twelve o'clock. Instead, Matthew Lanzai woke him up, lest he slept too happily and couldn't wake up directly.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Matthew Dunlop, the "upright boy", actually showed up at 8 o'clock on time, and the idea of ​​letting him stay in bed for a while went bankrupt. He really shot himself in the foot.

Zila, zila, along with the sound of the oil pan, the fragrance of bacon permeated the apartment; gudu, gudu, the sound of boiling water reverberated for a while, and then the fragrance of black tea wafted over...

His stomach was protesting again, he just wanted to stay in bed for a while, and this dream had turned into an extravagant hope, he pulled down the quilt angrily, and then saw Matthew standing at the end of the bed-he was holding a The mug, the smoke of black tea wafted, the suit and leather shoes were flawless, and the sparse sunlight outlined his deep facial features and straight shoulders.

"Lipton Black Tea is recruiting a male protagonist next season, do you want to try it?" Renly complained speechlessly, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw a plate of breakfast on the bedside table: scrambled eggs and bacon, next to it. Accompanied by the grilled toast, and the salad with tomatoes and lettuce, the aroma of the fiery oven makes saliva secrete involuntarily.

Renly rolled his eyes speechlessly, his eyes full of resentment.

Matthew picked up the mug, took a sip of black tea, and said indifferently, "If it's the Lipton tea lawsuit, I might still be interested."

What a man with no sense of humor.

But Renly was already used to it. He lifted the quilt and walked towards the bathroom barefoot. "Did you start having diarrhea because you drank Lipton tea?"

With a simple joke, Matthew immediately had three black lines on his forehead, his calm and indifferent face, and immediately broke his merits. Looking at Ren Li's back, he pleaded gloomily, "One time, just one time!"
