Becoming a Global Superstar Starting as an Idol Trainee

Kang recalled Chen Minhao's album, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. She also can't wait to give the world a surprise: "Let's talk about the movie "Detective" later. Wu Hongrong sent me a WeChat message this morning, and the mastering of your album has been processed. If you are free tonight, we will Now go and listen."

Chen Minhao nodded, and immediately put on sunglasses and a mask to go out.

The records sold on the market are all reproduced from the master tape, and the quality of the master tape will directly affect the quality of the copy—the record.

Mastering, Mastering, is the final touch on an album before it is mass-produced. Mastering can balance the volume and texture of the entire record.

The songs in the album are all recorded independently, which often results in some songs having a louder volume and some songs having a lower volume; It takes a mastering engineer to unify them.

The mastering engineer will adjust the relative loudness and interval time of the songs in the album to make the connection between the works more natural and soft, so that the listeners do not need to adjust the volume back and forth, so that the appeal of every detail of the album can be maximized.

When Chen Minhao and the two arrived at Wu Hongrong's studio, they found that the studio was closed, and no one answered when they knocked on the door.

After Kang Hui called Wu Hongrong, he realized that they were listening to the master tape with headphones on.

Chen Minhao heard the sound of jogging inside, and paused in front of the door for a few seconds before the door was opened.

"Chen Minhao, you're here." Luo Tianyi said with a blushing face, "Teacher Wu said that we should take security measures and ask us to lock the door."

"Be careful." Chen Minhao said with a smile.

"Well, the album is coming out soon, there can't be any mistakes." Luo Tian nodded, and there was a villain screaming in his heart: Observing Chen Minhao up close, I feel that he is more handsome than in the movie, wait a minute, should I be afraid for a few minutes? a photograph.

Chen Minhao stood at the door with a smile on his face.

Luo Tianyi immediately came to his senses, opened the door and said with a smile: "Come in, you are here to listen to the master tape today."

Chen Minhao nodded: "Well, have you listened to the mother tape? How do you feel?"

Luo Tian said as he walked, "Perfect. You'll know when you hear it."

When Wu Hongrong saw Chen Minhao, he didn't exchange pleasantries, and directly gave him a pair of earphones.

Chen Minhao originally had high expectations for the master tape, but after putting on the headphones, he realized that he was still too young.

It used to be a very beautiful and touching song, but now it sounds brighter, fuller and more tense.

Mastring, the mastering process is like a glue, it can have a good bonding effect on the sound of instruments and vocals, and it can also paste every song in the album very well, so that every song in the album can be The volume and sound are unified.

"It's really great!" Chen Minhao looked at the master tape carefully, as if admiring a work of art.

After hearing Chen Minhao's affirmation, Qian Jinyun immediately took out a colored cannon from his arms, pulled it away, and immediately sprayed out dozens of colored stripes, colored ribbons, and colored paper, like a goddess scattering flowers, and the scene was spectacular.

After the master tape is finalized, the next to-do list is: confirm the cover, find a factory to make the record, promote and release.

For many musicians in the house, they only participate in the mastering process, and the rest is not their concern.

When they first participated in the planning of the album, they were full of doubts: Can the album really be released in September?

From the finalization of the demo of the songs in the album, post-editing, over-taping, instrumentation, accompaniment, harmony, and mixing, to the finalization of the master tape today, their attitude towards Chen Minhao has changed from questioning to approval, and finally to Worship now.

They shook hands with Chen Minhao one by one to bid farewell, and everyone looked forward to their cooperation with Chen Minhao again.

"Mr. Chen, you must call me again next time there is an album!"

"Mr. Chen, call me next time you have a single! I'm free."

Chen Minhao looked at everyone's dark circles, bowed slightly when shaking hands, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, looking forward to our next cooperation~"

After the group had a breakup dinner, Wu Hongrong contacted the record manufacturer, while Chen Minhao, Kang Hui, and Luo Tianyi began to discuss the cover of the album.

When people get an album, the music in it cannot communicate with people at the first moment. People's first impression of the album comes from the picture on the cover.

The album cover allows vision and hearing to form an intersecting universe, making the beating notes another language family.

Some singers didn't use their own photos as album covers, but Kang Hui and Luo Tianyi agreed that Chen Minhao was reckless if he didn't use his own photos as the cover.

Chen Minhao knew that it would be no good to fight against this face-seeking world, so he directly contacted Li Li, intending to ask this vicious photographer to shoot the cover for him.

Li Li was more straightforward than Chen Minhao imagined, and he agreed to talk about the style and appeal of the album the next day.

Kang Hui casually said to Luo Tianyi: "I once brought an artist with me, and he had a small misunderstanding with Li Li, which caused Li Li to have some small prejudices against me. So, Li Li will come over tomorrow At that time, Tianyi, you were next to Chen Minhao, pretending that you were Chen Minhao's manager."

Luo Tianyi was a little confused, but still nodded happily.

Early the next morning, Li Li appeared at the door of Chen Minhao's Kyoto studio wearing a black peaked cap.

Chen Minhao went to pick him up at the door in person, and Li Li glanced at Chen Minhao up and down: "Don't relax the management of your body and skin just because of your good foundation. Your appearance is really good, so don't stay up late in the future, don't waste money, I'm sorry Your parents."

Chen Minhao nodded and took Li Li into the company's conference room without saying anything.

Luo Tianyi poured two glasses of water for Chen Minhao and Li Li, and said with a smile: "Hello, I am Luo Tianyi, Chen Minhao's manager. Chen Minhao's album is called "Farewell", and the music style is the same."

Li Li interrupted and said, "You don't need to introduce the album, I can listen to it myself."

Luo Tianyi couldn't decide for a moment to pay attention, so he looked directly at Chen Minhao.

Chen Minhao nodded slightly to Luo Tianyi, then smiled and said to Li Li: "No problem, but my manager just told me that you must be cautious. If you want to listen, you must sign a strict confidentiality agreement." protocol."

Li Li looked at Luo Tianyi and snorted coldly: "Take the heart of a villain to save the belly of a gentleman."

Luo Tianyi looked confused: Who am I? where am i What am I doing?

Chen Minhao explained with a smile: "My manager did this for me, I hope you can understand."

Li Li's face brightened a little, and he paused for more than ten seconds and said, "All right, for your sake, I'll sign."

Luo Tianyi made an excuse to go to the bathroom, and dialed Kang Hui's number from the company's phone room: "Sister Kang, where is the paper version of the non-disclosure agreement you asked Li Li to sign yesterday?"

Kang Hui didn't realize it: "What did I say yesterday? A confidentiality agreement signed by Li Li?"

After Luo Tian briefly recounted the conversation between the three of them just now, Kang Hui immediately said, "I'll ask the legal counsel to make a confidentiality agreement against Li Li and send it to you."

Luo Tianyi had already guessed the truth of the matter, was silent for more than ten seconds, and said to Kang Hui: "Sister Kang, you have worked hard."

Kang Hui recalled the troubles he had carried over the years, and said, "I'm used to it."
