Chapter 23 Arranging music and recording demos

 The director's smile became even brighter: "Just to give you some peace of mind in advance, Hashim has also confirmed that he will also participate in the PK session in person."

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Actually, it was Hashim who asked for this from the beginning, right?"

The director smiled awkwardly again, because Fang Xing guessed it right.

Although the second performance was a competition between two teams, the losing team was only the last member of the eliminated team, and could not be eliminated above the leader.

Hashim was naturally unwilling to give in, so he went to the director team again and wanted to have another rematch with Fang Xing in the PK session.

His goal was naturally to eliminate Fang Xing from the competition and avenge his previous humiliation.

The choreographer continued to laugh awkwardly and changed the subject: "As for the selection of songs and the performance stage, you make your own decisions. However, as for the PK session, the chief director hopes that it will be more interesting."

"I don't accept the program team's interference in my song selection." Fang Xing expressed his attitude directly.

"We are just discussing to see if we can coordinate." The director explained with a smile.

"Tell me, what effect do the program team want?" Fang Xing's attitude was tough, but discussion was still possible.

After all, making a program requires collaboration with each other in order to do it well.

The director continued: "That's it. Hashim plans to adapt a martial arts theme song during the PK session and add rap content. The program team hopes that your PK song will be similar in type. It doesn't need to be rap, but at least it will be a fast song.

, then this duel will be even more exciting."

Adapting songs and adding rap is an adaptation routine in the rap circle.

Some of the changes have been pretty good, while others are hard to describe.

It mainly depends on how well the lyrics are written. If the lyrics are awkward, it will make people’s toes cramp.

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Okay, I can sing fast songs."

"That's it, let's get ready."

The director was very satisfied with the outcome of the discussion. Fang Xing agreed to all the PK requests and agreed very readily.

……

After chatting with the director, Shao Yu and others had finished their meal and returned to the training room.

"Captain, we have finished eating. We are not going to take a break at noon. We will start training now. We have brought you food. Do you want to eat it in the training room? Or go back to the dormitory?" Guo Keda shook a lunch box.

Seeing how active they were, Fang Xing felt that it was not good for him to be too salty, so he said: "Then I'll compose music while eating. Shao Yu, bring your notebook and open Cubase."

Cubase is a long-established music workstation software with complete functions and is very good for notating and arranging music.

Shao Yu knew this was coming true, so he quickly took out his Martian notebook from his bag, plugged it in and turned it on.

Guo Keda moved the MIDI keyboard over, connected it to an external sound card, and then connected it to the computer.

Fang Xing had already thought about what song to sing, but he just wanted to arrange it again.

In terms of arranging, Fang Xing is still quite good.

When I was working as an oddball in a theater in my previous life, I had to do everything, including making accompaniments and background music for musicals.

Now this arrangement ability comes in handy again.

Fang Xing opened the lunch box and said while eating: "Let's write down the score first. Beat four and four, open the piano window, you first hit a few sets of fourth circle chords, do you know the fourth circle?"

"Does this need to be said? One-third of pop songs use chords that are circles of fourths."

Shao Yu also knows a little about arranging, and at least he has no problem inputting chords using a MIDI keyboard.

"Then you record the chords first, and I'll adjust them later." Fang Xing continued to eat.

Lu Ming and Wang Huajun stood behind, bending over to take a closer look.

Lu Ming has seen notation software, but has never used it.

Wang Huajun didn’t understand at all, he was just watching the fun.

Both of them were a little worried, wondering if this captain was reliable.

Although there are two songs "Nocturne" and "Wild Bird" to prove his ability, now it is clearly a new song, and it has to compete with Hashem's classic martial arts theme song.

No matter how you think about it, this seems unreliable.

Wait until Shao Yu finishes recording the chords.

Fang Xing put down his lunch box, pulled his chair in front of the MIDI keyboard, and started playing and singing.

Dang Dang Dang...

In four and a half minutes, the entire song was played and sung, and even the high notes of the G5 were hummed with a very slight head voice.

Shao Yu and Lu Ming were all stunned after listening.

This sounds so good!

Lu Ming had such an exclamation in his heart.

Fang Xing's last G5 chant was hummed in a very weak head voice. You can't sing like this on stage because the volume is too low.

But now I’m just recording demos, and listening to them up close gives me a fairy-like feeling.

After listening to the song Fang Xing hummed, Wang Huajun was stunned.

He was a little worried at first, but after hearing this, he felt that his worries were unfounded.

Lu Ming's eyes were shining, and he couldn't believe it: a male voice above E5 can actually hum so beautifully.

After Fang Xing finished singing the demo, he said: "The song is probably like this. The high-pitched part that I hummed just now, and all the passages above D5, are all handled by Lu Ming."

Lu Ming was stunned again, why: "Do you really want me to sing so high?"

"You just have to practice. There are a lot of harmonies in this song, almost from beginning to end. Don't worry." Fang Xing reached out and patted his shoulder.

In fact, Lu Ming wanted to sing it very much because the song was so beautiful.

When a person who loves music hears such a melody, his mind is already filled with notes.

The reason why he hesitated was that he was worried that his voice would not perform well.

He thought about it for a while and made up his mind. Regardless of whether he could sing well or not, he would give it a try first. If the results were not good during joint practice, it would be too late to give up.

"Okay, I'll give it a try first. Brother Shao sent me the sample. I'll take it back and get familiar with it first." Lu Ming agreed.

Fang Xing turned to look at Guo Keda and Wang Huajun and asked, "What are your requirements for the lyrics?"

After Wang Huajun listened to this song, he felt confident.

His major is classical dance, and he doesn't care about the lyrics. He replied casually: "I can do it. I just want to sing a few lines, or I don't want to sing at all and just concentrate on dancing."

"Let me give you two lines. By the way, if you dare to tease Wia, you can try to communicate with the program team. If you do a piece of flying flowers in the air, then you will be the unique dancer in the entire program." Fang Xing reminded

.

When Wang Huajun heard this, his heart immediately moved.

Although Diaowei Ya is dangerous, he has worked as an action stunt double on a film crew before. If he can, he really wants to try it.

Of course, this depends on whether the program crew agrees.

After all, Diaowei Ya is not something that can be done by one person. It requires a professional team to do it.

Moreover, this also involves safety issues, so we can only mention it to the program team. It is hard to say whether the program team will agree.

Wang Huajun suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "Okay, I will go and communicate with the program team and try my best to get a flying flower in the sky."

Fang Xing then looked at Guo Keda and said, "I will record the lower part demo later. You can choose which part you want to sing. You can choose a few verses for the main song and the harmony. Shao Yu and I will be responsible for the rest.



"Okay." Guo Keda gave a thumbs up, indicating that everything will be arranged.

"If you two have any ideas about dancing, let's discuss it together." Fang Xing left the dancing matter to them.

"Okay, I have no problem." Wang Huajun nodded in agreement.

"It's okay for me." Guo Keda reached out and shook Wang Huajun's hand.
