Chapter 77 Recording
For St. John's Elementary School, Ryan Jenkins's absence from taking a leave is really something worth considering, and it will make the entire school inconvenient from teachers to students. Now, the school's signature students have finally returned to the right track and have taken a long vacation of twenty days.
Ryan began his short life of writing scripts in the morning and recording at the record company in the afternoon. Nicole also said a few words about it.
"Dear, you will overwork your way and will not be good for your health."
"Nicole, I'm as strong as a cow, don't worry." This intensity of work may be unbearable for my peers, but it is not a big problem for Ryan. Even if I'm a little tired, I will become lively after a night of rest.
Besides, the intensity of the work during recording was not very high. For him, it was more like a test and summary of learning music over the years. Moreover, his musical talent and literacy are indeed excellent enough, and the recording has been going smoothly.
In addition, he also has to shoot the cover of the album. The name of the album has been confirmed. Just like most new singers, the first album will use his own name as the album name, and he is no exception. The album is called "Ryan Jenkins".
Originally, Ryan wanted to learn from some personalized people I had seen in his previous life, design the cover himself, and give a simple but weird album title, but after listening to the introduction of the company's professionals, he immediately gave up these unrealistic ideas.
As John Burns said, “It is necessary to have personality, but personality exceeds market acceptance and is doomed to fail. And, Ryan, don’t you think your name has a strong appeal?”
Well, for the benefit of the entertainment company, it really takes advantage of all the conditions. Ryan sighed that it is better now. In a few years, in order to attract attention, let alone entertainment companies, some singers and actors will take actions that have no lower limits.
From the cover to the packaging, to the specific promotional plan, Ryan handed over all the album to professionals. First, his time is limited and he cannot be wasted on it. Second, his news has a sequence and specialized in his profession. He is not a Miss All-Time Miss.
So, let’s focus on recording songs.
"Stop!" Burns' voice came from the headphones. Ryan also noticed the problem and stopped quickly.
"This sentence is so bad, Ryan, you're breaking the sound."
"Yeah." Ryan waved his hand and said, "John, take a break, I'm going to find the feeling."
The recording is "I.Believe.I.can.fly". After he reorganized this song, although it still has an R&B style, the tune and rhythm have become much brighter. Especially Ryan's singing style, unlike the one in his previous life, always with a strong gloom and sorrow.
Ryan walked out of the recording studio, and a staff member quickly handed over the water. Burns pinched his chin and was thinking about something. After a while, it was probably a result. Then he said, "Ryan, do you think you have a different singing style for this song?"
"Change another?" Ryan raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, I think the singing style should be more subdued and hoarse," he suggested.
"Down and hoarse?" Ryan repeated, with a helpless smile on his lips. Didn't he turn it over and go back? He shook his head, "John, this is a positive song, why do you need that kind of singing style? And the whole tune is so bright that it gives people a very dissonant feeling."
"Can the song be changed, right?" Burns smiled, but did not insist. He knew how good the boy opposite was in music.
After resting for about ten minutes, the recording started again. Ryan rarely gained twelve points of energy, as if he was competing with others, but no one else knew who he was competing with.
Once Ryan was serious, the strength he showed was indeed extraordinary. After recording intermittently for nearly an hour, Burns' shout came from his headphones again, "yes! That's great!"
Ryan breathed a lightly and finally achieved the effect that he and Burns were both satisfied with. After listening to it, he nodded gently. He did not dare to say that this version was better than his previous life, but while changing the style a little, he was closer to the trend.
"My persistence is right, right?" Ryan asked Burns with a bright smile after leaving the recording studio.
"Okay! OK! Ryan is always right! Old John is always wrong." Burns smiled happily. He is almost fifty years old, so he naturally won't bother with a child. Well, he admits that this is not an ordinary child.
"Continue?" he asked again.
"Of course." Ryan nodded, "It's in a good state now. Let's record "It's.my.life" next, and if possible, solve "Climbing" together."
The staff next to them kept shaking their lips. It would be great if a singer could record a song in one to two days. People like Ryan Jenkins, who are about to complete the entire album in a week can only be described as genius or monsters.
"Ryan, are you ready?" Burns was a little worried. The last two songs required a different range and lung capacity.
Ryan didn't say anything, but just raised a thumbs up, and he naturally understood why these two songs were put to the end.
Over the past six months, he has received not only vocal training during the vocal period, but also found a professional coach to appropriately increase his lung capacity through some exercise methods. He is already strong and has been persistent in exercising. His vocal cords have natural advantages. Although it is somewhat different from Maria Kelly's buffalo lungs and the 5 octave ranges, with his current state, even if it is a bit difficult to deal with these two songs, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
Although the lyrical version of "It’s.my.life" is not as popular and exciting as the rock version, it is more pleasant to listen to. The soothing lyrics and tunes can give people a kind of peace.
I have to say that when the state breaks out, the work will always go much smoother. Seeing the staff outside the recording studio gesturing at him one by one, Ryan also clenched it hard. He cleverly controlled the singing style to the edge of the broken sound, which made the whole song have a strange hoarse feeling.
Walking out of the recording studio, Ryan drank a glass of water, Burns smiled and said to him, "Ryan, I've done a great job. Take a break and continue. We might be able to record "Climbing"!"
"This album will definitely achieve good results!" said a staff member. "I believe in this!"
Good results? Of course. Ryan's self-confidence instantly expanded. Not to mention the three original songs he created, the other seven songs are classic English songs from his previous life, and several are even champion singles. Generally speaking, there are two to three songs in an album that have a wide range of singing. Even if this album is very successful, he has transplanted these songs into the same album. If it cannot be sold well, then just find a place to bury yourself.
Besides, Ryan is confident that the original song "Climbing" will not be inferior to any one.
As the media in previous lives summarized, as long as the politics and current affairs are not involved, songs are far less affected by society than movies.
After resting for about ten minutes, Ryan was about to continue to say to Burns when suddenly a staff member knocked on the door of the recording studio and said, "Ms. Jinsley is here, I have something to talk about."
Ryan and Burns smiled helplessly, and today's recording can only end here. Under the leadership of the staff, they walked into a conference room, where Kingsley and CEO Reed were already waiting.
After sitting down, Ryan understood after hearing Jinsli say a few words.
In the summer, Johnson & Johnson Group once asked him to be the spokesperson for children's toiletries. Since both parties were not in a hurry, it was not until now that a result was negotiated.
"In that case, they want to sign a three million dollar endorsement contract with me?" After receiving a positive answer from Kingsley, Ryan pinched his chin and continued to ask, "Where is "The.show"?"
Ryan created an advertising song for them, which was part of the contract. He simply handed over the recorded "The.show" to Jinsley, who was in charge of the negotiations. This song is the one he plagiarized the most lyrics, and almost all of them were changed. After all, this song in his previous life was about a little girl, and now of course it has been replaced by a little boy.
"They were very satisfied with the song and reached an agreement with Hollywood Records." Jinsley glanced at Reed. They should have agreed.
It’s strange if you are not satisfied! Ryan muttered in his heart, "Theshow" was the theme song of an advertisement for a product of Johnson & Johnson in his previous life. As for why Hollywood record companies agreed, it’s very simple. The advertisement will definitely be launched before the record. If you don’t need this kind of free promotion opportunity, isn’t that a fool?
"John, was the song recorded smoothly?" Reed asked at this time.
"Very smooth." Burns laughed, "Ryan's condition is getting better and better. If nothing unexpected happens, the recording will be over in the past few days."
"That's great!" Reed seemed to be under great pressure and clenched his fist with one hand and smashed his palm. "Where is the cover? Is Ryan satisfied?"
"It's okay." Ryan nodded. His aesthetic view was too far from that of the people of this era, and he had hardly expressed his opinions when making the cover.
"Okay, I will let each department speed up the progress!"
After leaving the conference room, today's work was over. Ryan greeted Burns and others and planned to go home directly. However, before getting in the car, Jinsley chased him and handed him a few thin pages of the script.
"This is the script of the advertisement. Ryan, according to the agreement between the record company and Johnson, if the MV is produced by "The.show", the advertisement will become a part of it."
Endorsements are different from advertisements, and there are many different terms.
Ryan roughly looked through and found that not only he was the one who appeared in the advertisement, but also needed a child about two years old. He couldn't help but frown. Children of this age were completely uncontrollable during shooting. Once an accident occurred, God would know how long it would take for an advertisement to be shot.
"Pate, is anyone chosen the kid in the advertisement?" he asked.
"Not yet." Jinsli seemed to have some realization.
"Contact them, I can recommend a candidate." Ryan smiled unscrupulously.
