Chapter 87： show invitation

This time, the equipment of the recording studio is more complete than what Gu Luobei rented in Boston last time.

​​

And there are many professional equipments that have never been seen before. This is the real profession, and it has benefited Gu Luobei, a hillbilly who "entered the city" for the first time.

​​

This recording studio is located on the Hudson River in Manhattan, New York, along the bustling commercial street. There is a tea-gray glass door on the left side of the street, surrounded by silver pot skin, and the heavy door is opened. , There is also a log door inside, and then open the door to enter. Walking straight in is a reception desk. The room of about 40 square meters is covered with a dark red carpet, decorated with three pots of green plants, and the bright yellow curtains make the room full of warmth. This recording studio is not a personal recording studio, but a high-level recording studio specially used for renting. Everyone involved in the recording rents it according to the time. Before the appointment time, just go to this room and wait.

​​

Opposite the reception desk, there is a spiral staircase extending underground, and the recording studio is on the first basement floor. Pushing open the heavy soundproof door, you can see a large recording table with all kinds of professional equipment stacked on it.

​​

Stepping on the gray carpet and walking in, you can walk to the table in just three steps. There is a glass wall above the table, inside is the recording room, you can clearly see the recording inside.

​​

Near the door to the right, there is a set of black sofas, and a few throw pillows of the same color are stacked there. There is also a floor-standing potted plant next to the sofa.

​​

This professional recording studio is not only comfortable and well-equipped, but also very thoughtful.

​​

For an independent singer like Gu Luobei who needs short-term recording, this is definitely the best place.

​​

Gu Luobei only realized what it means in the recording studio this time, \"Knowing people, knowing faces but not hearts" certainly does not refer to the bad aspects" but Claus-Badelt. In terms of work, his seriousness is beyond imagination. It doesn't match that cute baby face at all. Gu Luobei stood in front of the recording microphone and was criticized with blood.

​​

\"Bell, please, please listen to your singing just now, there are two pitches wrong, what's going on?"

​​

,\"Bell, how many times have I said it, this sentence needs to be aggravated, aggravated!"

​​

,\"God, rhythm, rhythm" You are actually half a beat slower, my God. "

​​

, \"come again, the hospitality is completely wrong" Completely! "

​​

,\"Again!"

​​

At the back, Klaus-Badelt seemed to be exhausted from scolding, and the sentences became shorter and shorter. In the end, it was just one sentence, \"come again" to send Gu Luobei away, but only occasionally pointed out what was wrong. .

​​

Although Gu Luobei was scolded for being utterly flawed," he didn't seem to have any self-awareness at all, and he still had a serious look on his face. Did he even reply two sentences, \"Which two sentences are in the wrong pitch? I can hear it right in the headset! "\" Why is this sentence aggravated, suddenly it will destroy the sense of rhythm before and after, don't you think it is too abrupt? "

​​

Occasionally, Gu Luobei would say "\" I want to create such an effect in this part, how do I use the mixer? What about the metronome? "I also observe the homework in the recording studio with a learning attitude.

​​

For a time, the studio was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the two were arguing against each other through a glass window. However, because Gu Luobei was standing in the soundproof room, Klaus-Badelt still needed to press the red button on the table to face the It's okay to scold on the microphone, this scene became somewhat funny while the swords were drawn.

​​

But when it was time for a break, the two were like good friends, sitting on the sofa in the recording studio and chatting happily. For Gu Luobei and Klaus-Badelt, they need to be taken seriously at work, and naturally they are friends when they are resting.

​​

It's a pity that Gu Luobei's recording process was not smooth. He came back from Boston every weekend to record, and then went back on Sunday night. He recorded three consecutive weeks, that is, six days. . In Claus-Badleter's words "\"It's pretty fast. Sometimes, a song can't be recorded well for a month. "

​​

During these six days, even if there was a discount, the cost of renting the recording studio used up most of Teddy Bell's savings. Gu Luobei also smiled bitterly. "\"The single has not been released yet, and we are about to have no money to eat. Sure enough, independent musicians are not easy to do. "

​​

Time keeps moving forward between school life and single recording, and before you know it, March is almost over. Spring has finally replaced winter, and the temperature is getting warmer little by little, which makes people feel a lot more relaxed.

​​

After the recording, Klaus-Badleter went back to work again. I heard that Hans-Zimmer was busy with this year's super blockbuster recently, \"Pearl Harbor" soundtrack, and Klaus-Badleter's work was not the same. easy. And Gu Luobei sent the master tape of \"It's just a dream" to Los Angeles, and before recording, he signed a contract with 〖Freedom' Choose to release, and digital music is handed over.

​​

Although Warner Records is willing to sell Gu Luobei's favor, after all, this time is different from the past. The relationship between Warner Records and Gu Luobei is in the honeymoon period, and it is not difficult to help release a single. But Gu Luobei finally kept his promise and handed over the distribution right to [Freedom] to choose. It's not that the distribution right is so important, but Gu Luobei feels that he is an independent musician, and it is more appropriate to let [Freedom] choose to release his first single.

​​

Gu Luobei has been busy with the second revision of the graduation project of the Department of Architecture in the past two days. Although the topic of the thesis in the Department of Psychology has been decided, he has not had time to meet Muller-Lance. He just sent an email to inform Muller-Lance.

​​

While I was busy drawing, the phone rang three times, but Gu Luobei didn't answer it. It wasn't until lunch when the phone rang again, and then Gu Luobei picked it up, \"Hello, this is Bell.

​​

\"Bell, do you have a class this morning? I've been calling you all the time but I haven't answered."

​​

Gu Luobei was stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he recognized the voice, \"Mayer, are you in a hurry to find me? I'm busy with homework in the morning." It was Sean Mayer who called. you.

​​

Sean-Mayer is always used to speaking in cadence, as if he is rap, and his tone is also very jumpy, obviously with a lively and jumping temperament, \"What's the matter, can't I find you if I'm okay?" After saying this, he Then I added a sentence, \"Don't say\"Can't,! "

​​

With Gu Luobei's character, it's really possible to deliberately sing the opposite, so Shann-Mayer hurriedly made up for it, making Gu Luobei smile. Drawing a picture just now was very brain-intensive, and now chatting with Sean Mayer feels a lot easier.

​​

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the dormitory room. Eden-Hudson glared at Gu Luobei, as if he was complaining that Gu Luobei couldn't open the door because he answered the phone, so that his eldest young master had to work hard from his chair. stand up. As a result, Gu Luobei didn't pay attention to this look at all, leaving Eden-Hudson to work in vain, and went to open the door depressed. The one outside the door was a takeaway. Because of the busy schedule, Gu Luobei and Eden-Hudson ordered pizza together.

​​

\"I have something to do with you today." Sean-Mayer knew that Gu Luobei was really busy, a joke was enough, and then got to the point, \"Your debut single was released on April 1st. It can be officially released, this time is good, April Fool's Day, and it will be easy to remember in the future." I didn't expect the speed of [Freedom] to be so fast, but it is also because the time and energy of the single song is relatively short.

​​

Originally, Gu Luobei also needed to shoot the cover, make the inner pages, and shoot the MV for the music video, but due to the cost, all of them were cancelled. The final albums were produced in the simplest way, which also saved a lot of time. In Gu Luobei's view, these are not the most important things. For independent musicians, the music itself is what needs attention.

​​

\"If the sales of the singles are good by then, it may be possible for fans to urge you to shoot an MV." Sean-Mayer mentioned this point in particular, and the MV is a very important part of record promotion in the United States. The launch of MV on TV stations, the subsequent broadcast on various media, and the promotion of songs are all important channels to increase album sales. Therefore, in the United States, in many cases, the release of the album is bundled with the MV, which will have an impact on the sales. There are also many times when the music video was not originally planned to be filmed, but the music video was additionally filmed due to the appeal of the fans.

​​

\"Hehe, I'll talk about it when the day comes." Gu Luobei was quite open to it. After parting ways with the melancholy mood, to the release of the single today, although the journey is not difficult, Gu Luobei is also quite In order to sigh, my identity as an independent musician can finally be released in the form of an album By the way, the most important thing is to ask if you are free next weekend, there is a public performance here in Los Angeles, I will help You are signed up. "Shann-Mayer can be regarded as a free agent dispatched by choice, and is specially responsible for the release and promotion of \"Just a Dream", so he is also very dedicated, using the company's limited resources to make the biggest single song. publicity.

​​

Gu Luobei flipped through the desk calendar on the table, April 1st was Sunday, and next week was the time when his album was officially released. Although there was no formal ceremony, he participated in a lively performance and did some publicity by the way. Also a good idea. \"Louis, it's too much trouble for me to go here. Let's take a look at the itinerary, arrange it, and reply to you in a while."

​​

Shane-Mayer knew that Gu Luobei was busy with his studies now, and he had to ask the professor for instructions when he wanted to leave the school. It's not impossible to skip classes, but it was a graduation project and a normal course recently, so leaving suddenly would definitely have an impact. \"Okay, you make arrangements. By the way, I'll book the air ticket here for you."

​​

Gu Luobei didn't say much, just replied \"Okay", the airfare must be included in the publicity expenses, and then the free choice will be settled with him, so there is nothing to say.
