Chapter 60 A Thought

On the night of the New Year's Eve, Li Chengxin spent time with his third uncle, so he cooked a few side dishes, drank a little wine, and didn't even watch the Spring Festival Gala.Li Chengxin went to bed early, but was woken up once by the sound of firecrackers on the New Year at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.

Along with the sound of firecrackers in the village, there are also a bunch of New Year's greeting text messages, from the villagers, Brother Xiaoyong, Lin Yiyi, Qi Lanting, Yuan Zhao, Sister Ding, Zhou Hao, Ali, Director Liu, Tian Ji, Michelin Restaurant The chef, the old man who fried twisted twists, Uncle Chen, Jiang He, Tao Yujia... Li Chengxin was all amazed by the number of friends he had made in the past half a year since he returned to his hometown—you really have to make friends at the dinner table.

New Year's Eve passed, and the third uncle said that he had to eat soup and rice dumplings for breakfast on the first day of the new year, which was called "farming".

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was a rural custom that no one went out and the family ate and drank. Only Brother Xiaoyong couldn't let go of Li Chengxin and came over to stay with him for most of the day.Things are different on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Every household wants to pay New Year greetings.Li Chengxin has few families to leave. Xiaoyong's uncle, Uncle Zhengwen, and Uncle Zhengwu are all close relatives, so he must go. A few elders and acquaintances in the village can just pick up some things and chat for a while. On the third day of the new year , Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong said hello and left the village.

First, she sent some fruit to Yingying's parents, then flew to Zhou Hao's house to show her face, and finally flew to Lanhai City, where she spent two days eating at Qi Lanting's house.

As a popular niche student, Qi Lanting didn’t take a break from years ago. After finishing the live broadcast from years ago, there were still a bunch of announcements, the recording of the Spring Festival Gala of various provincial stations, etc., and he was arrested and went home to meet his parents on the first day of the new year. On the second day of the new year, I finally locked myself at home and had a good night's sleep. On the fourth day of the new year, Li Chengxin came over and asked Li Chengxin to cook something delicious, which was quite cheerful.

Yuan Zhao came early in the morning on the fifth day of the lunar month, along with makeup artists, hairstylists, stylists and other staff.

After pulling up the two who wanted to sleep in, I went to the airport to pick up Xiaoyong and continued to tidy up, then sent Li Chengxin to the company, and finally sent Xiaoyong and Qi Lanting to join the crew of "Lovesick" act together.

Yuan Zhao originally only had to take care of Qi Lanting, but now that Li Chengxin and Xiaoyong were added, he felt that he was a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, there were not too many affairs during this period, and Li Chengxin was considered an experienced insider. People, Xiaoyong's black face makes it difficult for others to tell that he is frightened, so Yuan Zhao has no plans to add assistants to them yet.

When he arrived at the company, he had already greeted the recording studio, and Yuan Zhao left Li Chengxin behind and let him go by himself.

After confirming Li Chengxin's identity and appointment information as an artist under the company, the front desk of Geyue Entertainment put Li Chengxin in.

Apart from the time when he signed the contract, this was the second time Li Chengxin entered Geyue Entertainment's building.The last time he came and went in a hurry because he was busy with the Sea Urchin and Zhangba Island shows, this time because Yuan Zhao was in a hurry to see off Qi Lanting and Xiaoyong, so he was put here more than an hour earlier.

Li Chengxin felt that sitting in the waiting hall was rather boring, so he got up and planned to take a stroll inside the company.

The department configuration of Geyue Entertainment is almost the same as that of all entertainment companies, but what surprised Li Chengxin the most is that there is an open-air crescent-shaped "floating island" in the middle of the glass zenith of the company building, hanging in the middle of the company. Go through the upper floors.

Li Chengxin asked the girl at the front desk, and heard that it was a place to sit in her spare time. This time was not a meal time, and there were not many people on the "floating island", so Li Chengxin took the ordinary employee elevator up.

Seen from the bottom up, the floating island is a floating independent space. Li Chengxin's perception changes when he gets on the "floating island".It overlooks the interior of Geyue Entertainment Company, with a high status, Li Chengxin originally fantasized that there might be petty bourgeois spaces such as swimming pools, beach bars and the like.But when we arrived on the floating island, we found that except for a few artistically shaped seats and a few potted plants, it was a bare plane.

"What do you think of this place?" Just as Li Chengxin was looking around the floating island, someone behind him suddenly said something.

This startled Li Chengxin, he turned around, and behind him was a mature man in a suit and leather shoes, whom Li Chengxin knew.

"President Qi." Li Chengxin greeted his big boss nervously.

The person who came was the current head of Geyue Entertainment, Qi Ge, the old father who was worried about Qi Lanting.

Although Li Chengxin and Qi Lanting have a good friendship, they would feel apprehensive when they see their friend's father and their own boss.

Qi Ge nodded to Li Chengxin to show his understanding: "Tell me your opinion."

Li Chengxin thought about it, although he wanted to pat Qi Ge's rainbow fart, but he didn't know what he was thinking, so he told his thoughts truthfully.

"As the entertainment and commercial center of the country, Lanhai City is a symbol of a super metropolis, a city that never sleeps. In this reinforced concrete city, the natural atmosphere and the small animals that originally lived in the forest don't know where to find a home.

"In fact, 30 years ago, the land of Geyue Entertainment was still surrounded by mountains and rivers, with rich fields and forests. At that time, there were even monkeys, foxes, deer and other species living in the deep mountains. Including the official declaration of extinction some time ago The baiji dolphin, a large number of wild animals once inhabited this place.

"However, with the rapid expansion of Lanhai City, the figures of the creatures quickly disappeared.

"It is absolutely impossible to change this forest of high-rise buildings back to the way they used to be, but it is rare for Geyue Entertainment to have such a place. If a new ecosystem can be cultivated in this era, there will be more greenery to attract creatures. Come here, it must be very good."

After listening to Li Chengxin's words, Qi Ge nodded and left.

Li Chengxin was confused by Qi's boss's performance. After 2 minutes, he relaxed and couldn't remember what he had just said to the boss of the company. Seeing that the time was about the same, he walked towards the recording studio.

After sitting at the entrance of the recording studio for a while, the recording engineer officially started to record the demo after the two had a simple communication. DEMO is the abbreviation of demonstration, translated into Chinese means demonstration and sample.In music, when it comes to DEMO, it usually refers to sample records.

Most of the time, after composing a song, the music creator will record a simple sample record for the reference of the performer or arranger.Years ago, Li Chengxin had already sent a copy of the initial demo that he had edited at home, at least for the reference of the sound engineer and the company's arranger, so that he could get ready.

Li Chengxin's album is planned to have ten songs. Three early songs "Golden Scales", "Heart Color" and "Distant Home" need to be re-arranged and produced. The other seven are new songs, but twelve songs need to be prepared in advance. Subsequent selection.Although they are said to be new songs, in fact, the creation of these songs spanned more than two years. Because Huanxing Entertainment originally planned to release a new album for Li Chengxin, Li Chengxin has been thinking about composing new songs since then.

The copyrights of Li Chengxin's previously released songs were all in the hands of Huanxing Entertainment. Later, Huanxing Entertainment went bankrupt, and Geyue Entertainment took advantage of the opportunity to take over a large part of the music library, and very presciently won the copyright of all Li Chengxin's songs.

The recording studio recalled Li Chengxin's previous request, and confirmed: "You do the guitar soundtrack yourself, right?"

Li Chengxin nodded: "Yes, record the guitar first."

The sound engineer made an OK gesture, pushed open the door, sat in front of the mixer next door, and said to the microphone: "You can start when you are ready, first record a section to see the effect."

Li Chengxin turned on the speaker, tested the sound, and made a gesture towards the glass window. Seeing that the sound engineer was ready, he immediately started playing.

It is relatively simple to record only one instrument, and it can be done even without a professional sound engineer.However, with the help of a good sound engineer, it will also be of great help to the quality of the recording, especially in post-processing.After post-processing, and the pure original sound, there are two levels of sound quality.

Although the estimated total length of the demo is only about 10 minutes, Li Chengxin recorded for almost five hours before finishing the recording. Even the "Golden Scales" which he is most familiar with, he played it no less than twenty times. They were all a little swollen, plus I recorded ten demo songs during the rest of my fingers, and my throat couldn't hold it.

Now the recording is only collecting the original sound, and the post-processing has not been done yet.

Li Chengxin listened to the last segment with the sound engineer, and selected each segment to be used in the demo.

The sound engineer picked out a few clips, marked them one by one, and said: "The post-production can be completed before noon tomorrow, and I will take it directly to the arrangement room, so you don't have to go by yourself."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Li Chengxin bid farewell tactfully: "Then I won't disturb your work, goodbye."

The sound engineer accompanied Li Chengxin to record until the afternoon, neither of them had lunch, and the sound engineer still had a lot of work to do.

The sound engineer assigned by the company to Li Chengxin is Qi Lanting's usual one, and he is relatively high-ranking. He usually faces Qi Lanting, who is always tired and lazy. Although Qi Lanting is talented, he will have a temper after a long time.At the beginning, Yuan Zhao said that Li Chengxin was Qi Lanting's good friend, but he thought that Li Chengxin was a kind of wine and meat friend. He guessed that his character was similar to Qi Lanting's, so his attitude was relatively cold.

It turned out that Li Chengxin had a good level, worked hard, and was very humble and gentle. She silently planned to have a better attitude when Li Chengxin came to record next time.After eating a snack, I chatted with the people I worked with during the overtime production, saying that the contract signed by the company is quite promising.

Li Chengxin left the company, ate some fast food mats in a restaurant in a nearby shopping mall to pad his stomach, and then took the bus in front of the company to the villa area on the outskirts of the city.

Li Chengxin didn't know why there was a bus stop at the entrance of the villa area, and the fact was that only Li Chengxin got off at that stop.

This is the first time for passengers who often take this bus on the bus to see someone getting off here. Li Chengxin, who was carrying a shoulder bag, walked over and brushed the access control hanging on the shoulder bag slightly, Shi Shi Ran walked into a toilet and arrived at their villa area worth two buildings in the countryside.

"The rich are really out of their minds, they don't drive to squeeze the bus with us."

Of course Li Chengxin is not a rich man, but Qi Lanting gave Li Chengxin all the access keys before leaving.

The original words were: "Let me, a good friend of Ge Yue's number one prince, live in the artist dormitory, and you can save face!"

　I haven't figured out the title and lyrics of the new song yet, so I'll look through what I wrote before when I have time.Because I plan to move, I have already packed it up, I don’t know which box of books is in it, I am crying blind...
