my hardcore life

Chapter 80

This song is as proficient as Tong Fei has sung it thousands of times.

With tears in his eyes, Tong Fei sang the song alone.

Although it was just playing and singing on the guitar, Tong Fei knew that the effect was already very good.

After sorting out some small details, Tong Fei re-recorded several times, which is considered to be the end of the demo of this song.

"It's a bit rough, but after making it, the effect will definitely be much better."

A demo is a small sample of a song. After listening to it, the music producer needs to arrange it, and finally re-record it to make it into a song that can be published.

For the arrangement, Tong Fei also had a general idea.But if you want to publish, he alone is absolutely not enough.

Although Tong Fei re-arranged the song "Those Years" for Yao Qianqian's competition, it was only a live singing after all, and the analog sound source in the software Tong Fei used had little influence.

If you want to really release a song, many instruments need to be recorded, then you need to contact a professional music studio to help you make the song.

"This song should be called "Moonlight at the Fame." After thinking about it, Tong Fei gave the song he just wrote a name.

The title of the song is very simple, but it is very direct, so that people who see it can tell at a glance that this is a song of homesickness.

Tong Fei classified this song as a folk song with a Chinese style.

In the arrangement, Tong Fei wanted to add some traditional Chinese musical instruments such as guzheng and erhu.After improving his musical skills, Tong Fei has a detailed understanding of these musical instruments, as well as the arrangement techniques and skills of these musical instruments, but he has not yet reached the level where he can play freely.

On this, Tong Fei also needs to invite some professional musical instrument masters to participate in the recording.

Tong Fei and Dong Xiaojie had exchanged contact information before.Tong Fei decided to ask Dong Xiaojie's studio to help him complete this song.

Tong Fei immediately dialed Dong Xiaojie's phone number.

"Hello, Tong Fei."

"Hi Xiaojie, I have a request."

Tong Fei was not polite, and directly said that he wanted to find Dong Xiaojie for something.

Dong Xiaojie smiled. He still thinks Tong Fei's straightforward character is quite cute.

"Speak quickly, I will do my best." Dong Xiaojie promised.

"I wrote a song and I want you to help produce it."

"Well, no problem. Have you recorded the demo, please send it over and let me listen to it."

"Okay, send it to your WeChat immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Tong Fei sent the newly recorded demo to Dong Xiaojie's WeChat.

"I don't know if Dong Xiaojie can be satisfied." After posting, Tong Fei thought to himself.

Tong Fei is still full of confidence in this song.But after all, it is the first time to cooperate with Dong Xiaojie, I don't know what kind of attitude the other party has towards music, and whether this kind of music suits his taste.

Tong Fei waited for 10 minutes, but Dong Xiaojie still didn't reply to him.

"It's enough to listen to it for 4 minutes, why haven't you replied to me yet?" Tong Fei said to himself.

But Tong Fei couldn't take the initiative to call again, so he had to wait quietly for news from the other party.

After another 5 minutes, Tong Fei finally received a call from Dong Xiaojie.

"Xiaojie, how do you feel after listening to it, tell the truth." Tong Fei said directly after answering the phone.

Tong Fei didn't want Dong Xiaojie to perfuse himself with face, but just wanted to hear his true thoughts.

Dong Xiaojie was silent for a while, then suppressed his emotions and said:

"Tong Fei, I have programmed this song, and I won't charge you any money!"

Dong Xiaojie's voice was full of firmness, and at the same time, it could be heard that there was a crying tone.

Tong Fei was a little surprised by Dong Xiaojie's reaction, "How can I do it without charging money, I also know that making a song requires a lot of cost, so I can't let you suffer."

Before asking Dong Xiaojie to produce this song, Tong Fei was ready to pay.

The arrangement of a song is a little more refined in production, and there are not thousands of songs that cannot be downloaded.

If it is a well-known music producer, plus the record of a first-blood instrument, a five-figure production fee is also very normal.

Since Tong Fei has made a little money recently, he can still accept these investments.

"I really like this song so much. It is my honor to let me make this song. Tong Fei, don't shirk anymore, this is my meeting gift for you!"

Tong Fei could hear the excitement in Dong Xiaojie's voice from the phone, so he couldn't say anything more.

In terms of production, Tong Fei definitely needs Dong Xiaojie's help.

"It's a big deal, just agree first, and then give him the money later." After thinking about it, Tong Fei made a decision.

"Well, Xiaojie, thank you so much. Set a time, let's touch the arrangement and finalize the production plan of the song."

"No problem, I've been at Qiancao Music Studio, where you and Qianqian practiced singing last time. Whenever you have time, just come and find me."

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow night after get off work."

"Okay, wait for you."

After making an appointment with Dong Xiaojie, Tong Fei hung up the phone.

Tong Fei found that the task interface in the system did not display prompts to complete the task.

"Maybe it's because the song hasn't been officially completed yet." Tong Fei thought, the demo shouldn't be considered a real song, and only when the song really comes out can it be regarded as the birth of a work.

But when the song was handed over to Dong Xiaojie's studio for production, Tong Fei was not worried that this would not count as an independent completion of a work.

After all, it is impossible for a song to be completed by one person for every detail.In pop music, one who can compose and sing at the same time is considered a singer-songwriter.

Dong Xiaojie fell silent after hanging up the phone with Tong Fei.

When hearing this song by Tong Fei, Dong Xiaojie had only one feeling—shock!
Originally, he thought that Tong Fei was just an internet celebrity singer.But through the live singing of "Those Years" re-arranged by Tong Fei, Dong Xiaojie realized that Tong Fei is not just an Internet celebrity singer.

Tong Fei also has excellent musical literacy, which most Internet celebrity singers do not have.

And the demo of "Moonlight at the Fame" made Dong Xiaojie's impression of Tong Fei greatly changed again.

Just looking at the title of the song, there won't be any particularly eye-catching feeling.But when the song was played, Dong Xiaojie quickly fell into the song.

Although it's just guitar playing and singing, whether it's melody or harmony, it gives people a refreshing feeling.

As a professional music producer, Dong Xiaojie has heard too many melody and harmony arrangements.Dong Xiaojie has long been bored with the melody that many ordinary listeners find pleasant.

But Tong Fei's way of composing made Dong Xiaojie, a professional music producer, feel novelty.

In terms of harmony, it also jumped out of some common clichés such as "4536251", "17654325" and other harmony progressions.
