Chapter 96 096 Movie Soundtrack
"Hugo, try to readjust your breathing, and don't articulate your words too clearly. The interval between words can be slightly extended by one-eighth of a beat to make the melody coherent." After 20 minutes of recording, Mark started Teach Hugo some simple singing skills.
Hugo was not a professional singer. His understanding and interpretation of songs completely depended on his own instincts, and he never systematically learned any singing skills, breathing skills, etc. Hearing Mark's explanation, Hugo didn't quite understand it, but he didn't pretend he didn't understand. He directly asked, "Mark, are you trying to connect the sounds a little while I sing?" Mark clicked He nodded affirmatively, "However, how to be coherent? Can you show me a demonstration?"
Faced with Hugo's request, Mark was immediately embarrassed, and the always smiling face became entangled, "I'm just a film scorer, not a professional singer, and I'm just a cameo as a recording engineer for you today. There's no way to demonstrate." Mark's tangled expression made Hugo instantly happy, "I can only tell you what method would be more appropriate, and how to present it to a better effect, but the demonstration..."
Hugo's brilliant laughter came from the microphone, "Actually, I'm also an amateur. Otherwise, I'll try to see if it doesn't work well, how about adjusting it?" As long as he can really learn something, Rain If you don't mind putting more energy into studying and learning. Even a genius needs 99% sweat, and Hugo has no reason not to work hard.
"Very good." Mark answered cheerfully immediately.
Joseph began to feel a pain in his butt when he sat on the sofa. Although the sofa was soft, he sat there motionless for a long time, and felt that his muscles began to stiffen. But this is not his home. He wants to lie down on the sofa and relax. What's more, Hugo is still working hard. Joseph doesn't want to relax too much, although he can't hear what Hugo is doing every time he performs. different.
Hugo played it over and over again in the studio. Occasionally, Joseph could hear the difference. For example, Hugo increased the tempo or added a spear of transposition when singing; but more often Joseph was a head. Fushui, looking at Hugo and Mark who were having a heated discussion, was stunned that they didn't know what the two people were talking about in full swing - it was clear that several versions were almost coming!
In fact, Hugo's voice is integrated into the melody, which is a very comfortable sound quality, warm and bright, like the sunlight leaking from the fingers, clear but bright, and Hugo's singing style is not greasy, pure as if At six o'clock in the morning, the dewdrops on the grass are refreshing. But it is precisely because of the lack of singing skills that Hugo kept discussing the details of the performance with Mark, and sculpted the performance of the whole song bit by bit.
This process is not interesting, on the contrary, it is very boring or even boring.
But Joseph can see Hugo's dedication and focus. Such Hugo Joseph is no stranger recently. When preparing for the audition for "Smell the Fragrance and Knowing a Woman", when reading the script of "Righteous Sea Heroes", and Jack Nicole While Sen was discussing acting, now, Hugo is devoting himself fully to the study of music.
Joseph could feel that maybe Hugo didn't understand a lot at the beginning, maybe Hugo was just a newbie, but he didn't mind learning from scratch, and during the recording time, he could clearly feel the rain With the progress of the fruit, he is like a dry lake, pouring into the clear spring water at a speed visible to the naked eye, and letting the sun shine on the calm lake.
Although they only recorded one song, Hugo and Mark discussed it for a full quarter of an hour, and sang it at least thirty times before and after, not to mention the person who sang, even the audience Joseph was about to vomit, quite a bit. The horror of the magic sound fills the brain. When the last two teamed up to complete the recording of "Next. You. See. Me", both had expressions of contentment on their faces, while Joseph showed a sigh of relief. The expression, as if to say, "The torture is finally over."
"Hugo, you really should be looking for a professional vocal teacher... No, you are a natural singer, rely on your talent to slowly figure out, you will soon shine. But you should really look for a professional As a recording engineer, you must know that in the process of recording, the help that professionals can provide is definitely not only technical. The recording engineer of my guest appearance is still not good enough.” Mark is a very sincere person, he sincerely expressed The sincerity on his face made it hard to refuse.
Looking at the smiling Hugo in front of him, Mark could see the youthful shyness on that sunny face. Facing his praise, Hugo was still a little uncomfortable. But Hugo did not refute or humbly declined, which shows that although it is insignificant, Hugo has begun to have a little bit of self-confidence, at least he hopes to believe in himself in his heart. This is a good thing.
"I think Rob will be very happy." Hugo changed the topic sideways, but he was still a little embarrassed, "At least it means that the movie can no longer worry about the theme song. Also, I can use additional income, which is really good. transaction.”
Hugo's sincere answer made Mark laugh cheerfully, "There is no doubt about that." Mark looked at Joseph who stood up and knew that they were about to leave, so he didn't hold back any more politely, "Then you guys Just leave and I'll continue my music work, it's been a long journey."
Mark's neat farewell was a bit like he was urging Hugo and Joseph to leave, but after a short time together, Hugo knew that this was Mark's personality, so he didn't repeat, "Good luck!" and Joseph left the studio.
Walking on the road to leave, looking at Hugo walking with ease, Joseph asked curiously, "Will you become a singer in the future?" This is not the first time Hugo has shown his talent in music. "Second. Chance" to "Don't. Look. Back. In. Anger", although Joseph's understanding of music is very limited, this does not prevent him from understanding that Hugo is here aspects of talent.
The first time he heard Hugo say that he created "Second Chance", Joseph scoffed, thinking that Hugo was just playing tickets, but now, Joseph has no way to continue thinking like this.
"Maybe." Hugo said lightly. If he had just crossed over the past few days, he would have answered "yes" eagerly, but after several months of precipitation, Allejie from the crew of "The Hero of the Righteous Sea" In the event, Hugo knew that the earth did not revolve around him, even if he was a traveler. Therefore, rather than rushing, it is better to take it slowly.
Hugo looked at Joseph and expressed his thoughts for the first time, "Haha, actually, I would rather form a band."
"Rock?" This was the first thought that popped into Joseph's mind.
"Yes." Hugo replied neatly, "But I have to correct you, not all bands are rock." Bands with various instruments such as keyboards, basses, and drums are also the most complete forms of rock music. But in addition to rock, there are also jazz, pop and other music styles to choose the band.
But as far as Hugo is concerned, there is no doubt that Glory to Death is a rock band. Of course, they have also tried other genres in their ten-year career, which is an inevitable process on the road of musical exploration.
"It's not that easy." Joseph said, most bands are formed by a group of like-minded partners, but Hugo is now an actor, and he doesn't have any music friends around him, so it is necessary to form a band. It's not that simple.
Bands are not shooting movies, just recruiting a group of actors to gather together. The band represents a style, a fusion and cohesion of the styles of all members. Therefore, the band is indeed not that simple, which also makes Hugo miss his teammates who are so glorious to death.
It would be great if we could form a band in Los Angeles, a group of friends who came together for the same musical dream, to talk about music, to make music together, to tour together, even if the band was like a deadly glory. It doesn't matter that you've been struggling in the underground rock world for nothing, because the journey your bandmates take together for the music is what counts.
"I know, so I can't rush to create." Hugo teased with a smile on his face, "I don't think I have the ability to become a singer now. So when Rob gave me this opportunity, I thought he was a singer. Just kidding." Although he has accumulated some confidence, Hugo is still a little uncomfortable with the position of lead singer. If a band is formed at this time, Hugo will naturally sit in the position of guitarist.
"Will you continue to arrange work for the next period of time?" Hugo and Joseph got into the car, and Hugo asked after he fastened his seat belt. Now that "Yihai Xiongfeng" has also been completed, the expected holiday should come after "Smell the fragrance and know a woman"?
Sure enough, Joseph shook his head, "Let's take a break for a while. It is estimated that the movie release schedule will come out soon, and it will be busy after that, so there is no need to arrange the itinerary now." The premiere of "Analysis" was arranged because Joseph did not know when "Scent of a Woman" would be released, and Hugo needed continuous exposure, so he did everything possible to arrange it. He didn't want to but unexpectedly brought Hugo the work of "Righteous Sea Heroes".
"Propaganda?" Hugo let out a long sigh. After the filming was over, he didn't feel much, but when he learned that the film was about to be released, the feeling of anxiety suddenly hit, "It's really relaxing." Rain Guo sighed, then suddenly saw a dark shadow in front of the car, and shouted, "Joseph, Eagle!"
Joseph was immediately frightened by Hugo and hurriedly stepped on the brakes. He didn't know what was going on, because he didn't see anything, but when he stopped, he saw a sparrow lightly parked in front of the car, looking left and right. After a while, he gave Hugo and Joseph a look of contempt, and then fluttered away.
Joseph only felt three black lines on his forehead, "Hugo, are you serious, Eagle? Eagle!"
