Chapter 933 Recording Completed
The official photos of the two new songs were released one after the other.
In the absence of MVs and audio sources, the official live photos became the only substitute for fans.
Once it was launched, the number of views continued to soar, and the increase was even not inferior to that of some singers' official MVs.
Especially the official video of "Monsters", because of the cooperation with the fireworks show, the video is more watchable and has also sparked heated discussions on the Internet.
Such response is also beneficial for the promotion of Jiang Yuan’s second English album.
At least after the last music festival, coupled with this stage performance, Jiang Yuan’s previous preview of the new album at the awards ceremony was also brought up again, making him one of the most anticipated heavyweight artists to release albums this year.
Although only the official video of the song "She Came to My Concert" has been released, it has become a popular new single in the new year among fans, and they are looking forward to the official release of the audio source.
After finishing the final encore of the concert, Jiang Yuan returned to Shanghai and was not idle at all.
During the day, apart from sleeping, most of the time is either spent in traffic or working.
The work content basically revolves around the production of the new album, focusing on recording and MV shooting.
Working non-stop, Jiang Yuan did make a lot of progress in a week.
I have basically completed the shooting of a new MV, and also shot some album photos in the style of the MV, saving me from spending extra time on set shooting.
As for the recording of the album, it has basically reached the final stage.
On the seventh day of the week, Jiang Yuan appeared in the company to record the last song in the album.
Deng Ge had been waiting in the recording studio early in the morning to make preparations.
Because of his involvement in the production of Jiang Yuan's new album, Deng Ge's work direction is not as complicated as Jiang Yuan's, but the level of busyness is no different.
After seeing this level of work intensity, Jiang Yuan also came up with the idea of suggesting to Deng Ge whether he should hire more producers to share the workload.
However, as soon as this suggestion was put forward, it was immediately rejected by Deng Ge, who said that he enjoyed this busy state and was happy to be busy.
For example, right now, after Jiang Yuan entered the recording studio, Deng Ge was the first to share with him the latest progress of the song production with excitement on his face.
"Once we finish recording today's song, the album will basically enter a new stage of completion." After sharing the progress, Deng Ge was eager to start recording immediately.
As someone who has listened to the entire album in advance, Deng Ge is full of confidence in Jiang Yuan's second English album. He highly praised the theme of the new album and believed that it will definitely be loved by many listeners.
"By the way, I heard that the proofs of the physical album have been completed. Do you want to go and take a look after you finish recording?" Deng Ge asked Jiang Yuan while organizing the equipment.
"That's for sure." Jiang Yuan nodded. This was another job he did in the company today besides recording.
"After the recording starts, you take your phone and take some pictures outside while I make a vlog." Before entering the studio to record, Jiang Yuan handed the phone to Deng Ge and said.
With the end of the concert, the vlog that Jiang Yuan uploaded previously was naturally gone, which has also led to a lot of fans leaving messages on Yuan Universe in recent days urging him to release a vlog.
Because he could see a lot of similar messages every time he went online, Jiang Yuan agreed to shoot a vlog about his work and life in the near future.
From Jiang Yuan's perspective, it should be a very boring perspective, but from the fans' perspective, it is material worth looking forward to.
"Can you please take a look at this angle?" Deng Ge took the phone and started to fiddle with it.
Jiang Yuan made an OK gesture and entered the recording studio. He put on headphones and glanced at the lyrics.
Long before coming to the company, Jiang Yuan had already completed vocal training and was able to enter the song recording work in a relatively good condition.
This is also a good habit that Jiang Yuan developed after taking vocal lessons seriously. He practices voice almost every day.
In this way, throughout the year, even when there is no need to sing songs, Jiang Yuan is in very good condition, and when he needs to use his voice for performances or recordings, he can perform better.
For example, in the recording of the last song, after Deng Ge helped Jiang Yuan shoot a short vlog clip, he also began to listen to Jiang Yuan's singing seriously.
For the vocal recording, Jiang Yuan took the lead in recording some more difficult harmonies, allowing Deng Ge to confirm that Jiang Yuan was in very good condition that day.
After all the harmony work was recorded and a backup audio source was specially saved, Jiang Yuan officially began to sing the main melody of the song.
It is also the most important part of recording vocals.
The last song on the album is still a rock song, and it is not easy to sing.
In particular, Deng Ge believes that the recording studio environment lacks some passion compared to the live performance, and sometimes the recorded version is not so pleasant to listen to.
And it is also important to grasp the scale, and the emotions cannot be too intense, which will affect the listenability of the sound source in the recording studio.
The entire standard can be described as both a must and a must.
However, Deng Ge felt that Jiang Yuan's performance in the recording studio was just right, although it was not as good as some other songs that could be recorded in just one take.
"It's very close, this is the part." After completing the recording, Deng Ge took Jiang Yuan to review the details of the singing together.
Jiang Yuan also tried to improve the parts that needed adjustment and started recording again. After repeating this several times, he completed the recording of the last song relatively smoothly.
After confirming the completion of the recording, Deng Ge laughed and started applauding. Like Jiang Yuan, he took out his mobile phone and took a group photo with Jiang Yuan.
In Deng Ge's words, he felt that this would be a visual record of a historic moment.
After taking a photo with Deng Ge, Jiang Yuan posted the photo on Yuan Universe and added the words "the album recording work is completed".
It was also the first time to report the album production progress to fans.
Mainly, the production plan and news of the second English album were announced a long time ago. Every step taken now is actually to promote the album and increase its popularity.
The completion of the recording work is indeed a milestone for fans.
Even for some casual music fans, it is music information worthy of attention.
If it was only confirmed before that Jiang Yuan was going to release a new album, but after the recording of the entire album was completed, it could basically be confirmed that the release date of the album would not be too far away.
Some fans abroad, and even music critic Aaron, were blown away by Jiang Yuan's spoiler and expressed on their accounts that they wanted to become a member of Jiang Yuan's production team, so that they could hear the complete new album in advance. [I have a feeling that the most amazing album of the year is coming! ]
[I will release the full album to listen to and see the strength. 】
【Is it going to be posted? 】
[Is there a physical trailer? ]
[If you don’t have a concert, will you promote your new song on TV shows? ]
-
The announcement of this news also made fans very excited, and they were very concerned about the information about Jiang Yuan’s new album, including the promotion and marketing after the album was released.
At this time, Jiang Yuan had already arrived at the company's conference room to check the proofs of the physical album.
On the one hand, it is the sentiment for physical albums, and on the other hand, because the sales of physical albums can be directly linked to the indicators of system tasks, Jiang Yuan is very concerned about the design language of each physical album.
Every time, the configuration of the physical album and the materials used will be repeatedly proofed and confirmed.
The main reason I came to the company this time was to take a look at the several versions of the physical album design.
"For this version, we have only confirmed the album cover and CD design. As for the photo shoot, we haven't finished shooting all of it yet, so we only printed a portion of it to see the effect."
The staff responsible for the album sample production explained the situation of the sample to Jiang Yuan.
"Let me take a look." Jiang Yuan nodded and began to unpack several different versions of the albums in front of him one by one.
The assistant was holding a mobile phone and recording the video, which was also considered part of Jiang Yuan's work vlog.
Of course, stickers will be affixed to the physical album samples later to cover them up, to avoid leaking the physical album design in the vlog.
During this process, in addition to experiencing the album unboxing process, Jiang Yuan was also confirming the album's paper craftsmanship and printing with the design team.
It also goes into more detail about the costs and profits of printing and producing the album.
If it were before, Jiang Yuan would not have cared so much about the cost issue, but now that "The Wandering Earth" is about to start production, Jiang Yuan has become more sensitive to this aspect.
After all, the production of the latter is indeed very expensive.
Although the financial strength is still strong after the box office success of the previous "Detective Chinatown 3", it is always better to be more careful with money.
However, regarding the cost, the materials used in each version were discussed, and the final conclusion was to use the more expensive ones.
Within the limited budget, Jiang Yuan still wants to maximize the configuration of the album as much as possible so as not to disappoint the fans who bought the album.
The assistant nearby also recorded this discussion about cost in the video.
According to the version initially discussed, the production costs of the album alone had managed to reach half of the selling price.
This does not include the production of music and MV, so it can be said to be a very conscientious production.
"Let's just go with this current version. After the photos are taken, we'll make a proof to see the results." After studying the first version of the sample for a while, Jiang Yuan came to this conclusion.
The recording of the album was completed that day, and the first version of the physical design was basically confirmed, which made Jiang Yuan in a good mood. In the evening, he also invited Deng Ge to have dinner together.
But after dinner, Deng Ge turned around and went back to the company, saying that he still had some work to do and he planned to wait until it was completed before going home.
To Jiang Yuan, this behavior seemed a bit fanatical.
But looking at the bright side, the production progress of the new album has been accelerated again, which also made Jiang Yuan feel a little emotional.
"The vlog shot today has been edited. Do you want to post it today?" Zhang Qing asked Jiang Yuan in the nanny car on the way back to the community.
A vlog of a few minutes is not complicated for the post-production team.
And because of the good habits brought by being a director, Jiang Yuan also sorted out the timeline himself when shooting vlogs.
Each clip can be spliced together after a slight deletion or speed change, so while Jiang Yuan was having dinner with Deng Ge, the post-production of the vlog was completed.
"Let me take a look first." After hearing what Zhang Qing said, Jiang Yuan came back to his senses and prepared to take a look at what the edited vlog looked like.
Mainly, I want to check if there is anything strange in the vlog so I can publish it directly.
In just a few minutes, Jiang Yuan quickly watched the vlog.
After watching it, I didn’t find anything inappropriate, so I nodded again and prepared to release this vlog today.
Most of the video is about what happened on the day of filming, which makes Jiang Yuan feel like he has completed a diary of the day in the form of video.
With this idea in mind, we published the vlog on the same day while it was still relatively fresh.
"Ok." After getting Jiang Yuan's approval, Zhang Qing immediately started operating on his tablet, quickly switching between several platform accounts.
After announcing that he had completed the recording of his second album, the vlog of his work and life that day was released, which was a surprise to his fans and attracted many fans to watch it at night.
I have to say that although the vlog is very short, Jiang Yuan thinks it is a relatively complete record of the day.
From going out to eat breakfast in the morning, to practicing vocals and writing scripts, to going to the company to start recording, to unpacking the album samples to confirm the production plan, and finally having dinner with Deng Ge to celebrate the completion of the recording work, that basically marked the end of the day's schedule.
These clips reveal enough information to fans.
In addition to the recording progress that everyone has already learned about through Jiang Yuanfa’s updates, this is the first time that fans have seen the unboxing of physical album samples.
However, the exact design of the album is still unknown in the video, as a large mosaic with the word "confidential" on it blocks the true appearance of the album sample.
Despite this, from Jiang Yuan's actions when unpacking the album, it looked like the album had a lot of configurations.
As for the subsequent discussion about the cost of the album, many fans also heard about it for the first time from Jiang Yuan’s vlog, which aroused a lot of attention and discussion.
