【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

In fact, they could have started recording their album a long time ago, but this time Li Shuirong planned to record the band's instruments together, and Professor Chen's recording studio was not big enough, so in May Li Shuirong had already started building a new large recording studio and bought a small theater to use as a recording studio. Of course, the supervision and arrangement of this time was still handed over to Professor Chen, and Li Shuirong also participated in the arrangement of some songs.

Another good news is that Sister Xi helped them get the theme song for the "Monster Catcher" mobile game commercial movie. Lin Pin'er had already written a short piece of the song, and this time Li Shuirong wrote the lyrics. He used beautiful words to describe his admiration for the person he loves. Although he did not directly mention catching monsters, he showed a fantasy and romantic mood.

The rainy day that Lin Pin'er had been longing for finally came on the morning of the recording. The song that Jia Baoyu helped her write the lyrics for required some sounds of rain and wind blowing through the bamboo forest.

At around six o'clock, Lin Pin'er put on her raincoat and rain boots and was fully armed. She first came to the yard and sat in the Qushui Liushang Pavilion to debug the equipment and prepare for recording.

Li Shuirong arrived at 6:30, and he suddenly had some inspiration. Wouldn't he need to publish a photo album when he released his PB in the future? He planned to record some of the preparations for the album, which would definitely be interesting to put in the photo album.

He quietly took out his camera and took a picture of the little figure in the pavilion through the floor-to-ceiling glass window. The little person in the transparent raincoat hadn't noticed that she was being secretly photographed. She was holding up the radio and sitting quietly, like a person fishing in the rain.

Then Lin Pin'er got up. She didn't go back to the house. She walked to the sculpture again in her rain boots and recorded some sounds of winding the spring and the music box. Then she walked out of the yard. Along the way, she recorded a lot of materials, including the sound of rain falling into the lake and the sound of rain hitting banana leaves...

After the recording was finished, she held the recording equipment in her arms, protected it with a raincoat, and then walked back contentedly.

"Hey, why are you here? Are you following me?"

"No, I took some candid photos. I was afraid that if you found out, you would make some unnatural poses, so it's better to take some candid photos."

"You admitted to taking secret photos? I'm not even famous yet, but I've already been targeted by the paparazzi?"

Li Shuirong was so angry that he laughed. He held up an umbrella, took the recording equipment from Lin Pin'er, and walked back with her.

"Eat more breakfast today. I guess we'll have to stay in the shed all day."

"I can't eat too much, but I can sing when I'm hungry. You can't eat too much either, you have to sing too."

Li Shuirong coaxed her with a smile: "Go and record the band first. Don't worry, I will arrange for you to sing when you are hungry."

The two chatted and laughed as they entered the house. After breakfast, they rushed to the recording studio. Shi Fan also successfully obtained the sound of helicopter propellers that Professor Huang helped to record. This sound was the beginning of the song that Lin Pin'er was going to use for the lyrics of Jia Tanchun.

Lin Pin'er is a person who can burst out with inspiration at any time. Composing music is her innate talent. In her previous life, she often composed guqin scores and even gave them as letters to her friends. Baochai once received the guqin scores written by Lin Pin'er.

In this life, she was born in a prosperous family, and was often influenced by instrumental music and opera. In addition, she was surrounded by the natural environment, and she was very good at discovering the beauty of things. Therefore, she was the one who composed most of the music for this album, and she was the one who decided the ideas and artistic conception of each song. Everyone just helped her complete the album.

The band for the recording was put together from all over the place, and they haven't found the right members yet. The drummer and bassist are both borrowed from other bands in the live house. Professor Chen is in charge of the guitar, Li Shuirong is in charge of the keyboard, and a teacher who is proficient in string instruments is invited to be in charge of the cello part. One of the songs has a light jazz style, so a saxophone teacher is needed.

In the spacious recording studio, the band teachers took their positions, and the air was filled with tension and anticipation. Professor Chen plucked the strings gently, adjusting the tone. The crisp sound was like the sound of birds singing through the mist in the morning, echoing in the silent space. The drummer repeatedly hit the drum, fine-tuning the rhythm of the drum. Each beat was like the rhythm of a heartbeat, steady and powerful. The bassist's fingers slid on the strings, and the low notes seemed to rise slowly from the depths of the earth, laying a heavy foundation for the musical picture that was about to unfold.

When the signal light for recording starts comes on, the music rushes out like a surging tide. Professor Chen's fingers jump rapidly on the strings, like a smart dancer, and the melody he plays is either passionate like a storm or gentle like a mountain stream. The drummer waves his arms, and the drumsticks draw shadows in the air. The dense drum beats are like thunder, shaking every inch of space. The bassist and the drummer work closely together, and the magnetic bass is like the pulse of the earth, steadily pushing the music forward.

Lin Pin'er sat behind the console, staring at the dashboard intently, her ears keenly capturing the subtle differences of each note. In this recording studio decorated like a space capsule, music and dreams collided to create brilliant sparks, and every moment was solidified into eternal music.

The busiest person is Professor Chen. He is in the recording studio for a while, then runs to the control room to listen to the effects, and then runs back. He goes back and forth like this dozens of times. It is estimated that Professor Chen must have ranked first in the number of steps on WeChat today, having walked at least tens of thousands of steps.

I recorded the light jazz accompaniment first, so the saxophone teacher could go back to rest early. Then I recorded the two songs with strings, and we didn’t finish until 11 o’clock in the evening.

"Thank you teachers for your hard work. The band teacher will be here at 8 o'clock tomorrow. Let's work on the accompaniment." Li Shuirong bowed to thank the teachers.

The fat man playing drums was from a band introduced by Wei Ting. He had also played for Tina's concert and was a very good drummer. He waved his drumsticks and said to Li Shuirong, "It's not hard. Mr. Li, you are too polite. You paid for us. Just arrange a few more performances for our band every month in the future."

"Okay, okay! By the way, I have a buddy who wants to learn to play drums. Are you recruiting students?" Li Shuirong was talking about Feng Ziying. He had sung in a live house a few times and was fascinated by bands. When he heard that Li Shuirong and others were going to form a band, he asked around for advice on learning to play drums.

"I didn't want to recruit him originally, but your friend Mr. Li is my friend. Bring him here tomorrow and I'll teach him first."

"Thank you in advance!" Li Shuirong bowed again.

The fat man couldn't stand Li Shuirong's politeness, so he stood up and bowed. "Oh, we Beijing people are just so polite!"

"..."

I spent the whole day in the recording studio today, and when Lin Pin'er walked out, I felt like I was in another world.

"Plans cannot keep up with changes. We didn't have time to record the singing today." Li Shuirong explained to Lin Pin'er.

"Yeah, I understand. You're also striving for excellence. Speaking of that control console, did you design it according to the brain console in Inside Out?" Lin Pin'er discovered it as soon as she entered the control room today, but forgot to ask because she was busy with something else later.

"Well, I drew this picture myself. From decorating your house to decorating the company and live house. I often come into contact with interior design drawings. I can draw a little bit after seeing them a lot. I guess you will like this design."

Lin Pin'er was overjoyed, but then she said seriously, "This recording studio is so good, with good instruments and sound equipment. It's a bit of a waste to only record songs for us. It would be better to make it available to the outside world. I suggest that you let Professor Chen manage it. You can hire him or recruit him as a partner. He can play the music he likes in it, or record for others."

"Your idea is good, but we have to wait until our album is finished. I'll find a chance to talk to him. He has a recording studio over there, right? I think it would be more reliable if we bring his equipment over and let him become a partner."

Lin Pin'er was happy. She and Shui Rong always thought alike. Or when she had a wild idea, he would always agree with her and come up with a better solution. In just one year, they already had a good understanding in both life and career.

"Thank you Shui Rong, I just had an unrealistic dream! And you have been encouraging and helping me to turn that dream into reality."

"You're welcome! Because, this is our dream!"
