The Greatest Showman

Renly's head was still aching, and the hangover was deeply stimulating the surface of his brain. He felt as if a group of villains were going over the mountains there. The memories of last night were only fragmented fragments, which could not be pieced together at all. ? ? However, he didn't want to recall it. Isn't the point of drinking to forget reality and revel in revelry?

The scene outside the window is receding rapidly, the tall palm trees are bathed in the golden sunlight, and people can be seen walking leisurely in floral shorts and flip-flops on both sides of the spacious street, reminding Renly that here It's Los Angeles, not New York.

"Renly, are you okay? Need to stop and buy a coffee?" Andy's concerned voice came from his ear.

Renly waved his hand and rejected the proposal. He felt that no matter how much coffee he drinks now, he should spit it out. The tumbling of his stomach sounds really bad.

"Renly, why don't we stop and have some breakfast first, at least for a stomach pad," Andy asked with concern again.

Renly waved his hand anyway, he didn't even want to talk now, let alone stuff his stomach? He felt that the burden was too great.

"Renly, are you sure you're all right? Do you know where we're going now?" Andy felt that Renly wasn't in a good state.

Renly finally turned his head, drooping his eyes and cast a glance at Andy, "I don't want to talk now, what I desperately want is, you can be quiet for a while, don't you receive my signal?" Andy's smile froze, which really entertained Renly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose, "We are on our way to the recording studio, don't worry, I won't spit it out in the recording studio."

Andy's forehead started to sweat.

How did things get to this point? Renly thought it was too much fun.

If someone had told him a week ago that the single "Cleopatra" wasn't just about hitting the Billboard charts, it was actually grabbing the attention of the masses, causing a big craze , and he's going into the studio to record an official version of the song, then he'll think it's the smartest joke since 2o1o.

But right now, they're sitting in a car on their way to the City of Sound.

The City of Sound, located on the west side of Universal Studios, is actually the name of a recording studio, which symbolizes the most brilliant and beautiful music dream in Los Angeles since the 1970s. Established in 1969, the City of Voices, against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, its shabby origin made it very inconsistent with the hippie movement's advocacy of flowers and the beauty of freedom. 's voice was recorded in that "dirty and horrible" place.

However, with the 1970s, after great singers such as spirit and nei1-yang recorded their classic albums here, the city of sound gradually attracted more and more attention. Countless great names can be found in this studio, and the albums that have established themselves as high-stakes musicians such as metal bands (meta11ica), Elton John, Nirvana, etc. are all from here.

This has also made the City of Sounds the most prestigious recording studio in Los Angeles, with countless crowds flocking to make pilgrimages.

However, after entering the 21st century, the music carrier has changed rapidly, and the recording method has undergone earth-shaking changes. Last time, Renly completed the recording of "Cleopatra" on his home computer, which also made the recording Its position in the industry gradually declined. Even studios as long-established as Sound City are in decline.

Now, they're heading to the City of Sound for Renly's first studio tour.

For Renly, it was an incredible fantasy journey. Compared to the actual job of recording a single, standing in the studio in the City of Sound and recording a single was like following the lead of those great musicians. This is the most magical part of walking in general. As for singles, Renly has no hope. For him, music is just one of the many activities in his spare time, just like rock climbing and surfing.

What was it like to be recording in the studio where classic albums like "Nevermind" were recorded? What does it feel like to stand in the wild space where Kurt Cobain used to feel the music? Going a step further, what does it feel like to stand in a recording studio and record music?

Now Renly has a chance to experience it firsthand.

"Andy, how did you make an appointment for the recording studio in Sound City in such a short period of time?" The tumbling stomach gradually subsided, and the swelling of the brain seemed to be relieved under the warm California sunshine. When the buildings of the City of Voices appeared in the distance, Renly couldn't help but get excited and asked.

Andy spread his hands, "This is not the hottest recording studio in the city."

"But it's still amazing!" Renly exclaimed. After all, the time was too short, and there was only a 30-minute gap before and after.

Andy shrugged, as if not worth mentioning at all. As the top broker of an innovative artist agency, this little bit of ability is not a problem.

The city of sound in front of you looks like an abandoned garage. The yellowed walls are mottled, flies are flying next to the rusted water pipes, and there are more than a dozen retro classic cars parked in the huge parking lot, but within sight. But there is no one figure, barren and deserted, as if abandoned

in the corner of the city.

The prosperity and noise of the past have now fallen silent, wild and desolate, as if the flowers and cheers are still recalling in the ears, but there is nothing left in the sight.

Just a glance, and Renly fell in love with it. It's a pity that he didn't bring his camera, so he took out his mobile phone, stood in the corner of the parking lot, and sealed this second of time in the film forever.

Renly and Andy pushed open the big red wooden door. Unlike the high-end and elegant recording studio in their impression, the space in front of them was filled with the smell of a garage recording studio. There were cigarette butts all over the floor, and tables were stacked up. And chairs, the red sand is covered with dust, machines that have been obsolete after the replacement, chairs that are haphazardly placed, and even a mattress with exposed springs and cotton, and exposed wires on the walls - and then the blue Li saw a brown fleece blanket hanging on the wall, out of place but completely natural... The casual and undisciplined style, even a little sloppy, made people feel a sense of intimacy without any hindrance.

In the rapidly changing 21st century, in such a backward, stubborn, and dilapidated space, a kind of musical purity and perseverance emerges.

"This..." Andy was at a loss for words. "This is even messier than I thought." Andy couldn't help frowning. He felt like he had chosen the wrong studio.

Turning around at the end of the corridor, the line of sight suddenly opens up. Platinum-certified records hang on the wall, and the entire wall is completely covered, which is simply spectacular. Even Andy, a music layman, can't help but open his eyes.

Andy walked to the door of the recording studio, but found that Renly did not follow, turned around, and saw Renly with his hands behind his back, looking at the platinum record with interest, "Renly, hurry up, let's make an appointment. time."

"You go first, I'll follow in a while." In Renly's eyes, history is a very interesting thing, everyone wants to go down in history and become a special existence in history, but more At the time, history was made unknowingly. When Nirvana recorded "Never Mind", they didn't know that this album had an inestimable and far-reaching impact on the music industry for the next two decades.

Therefore, the wall in front of me records not only the splendor of the City of Sound, but also a witness that bears the weight of history.

Unbeknownst to Renly, guns-n'-roses recorded there, as well as niai1s. "There are quite a few great singers gathered here, aren't they?" A voice came from his ear, Renly turned his head sharply, and then saw a few people standing in front of him.

Renly immediately realized that the corridor was too narrow, and he blocked the road, "Sorry." Renly quickly stood up straight and gave way, they nodded to Renly, and then walked out quickly .

However, the person who had just started talking to Renly stayed, "It takes courage to choose to record here."

Renly spread his hands, "Maybe I want a little bit of greatness, and bless my album with good results."

The playful tone made the other party laugh happily, "Then I'll cross my fingers for you." After laughing, he pointed to the recording studio behind, "Young people nowadays tend to record digitally and rely on electronic Synthesis and music software does the job, and not many people appreciate the essence of traditional recording. So good luck.”

"If I can answer your question..." Renly shrugged, "I came here today to record a ballad."

Compared with pop, electronics, rap, etc., folk songs do not need electronic synthesis, and traditional recording is the best way to play the essence of music.

However, Renly's sarcastic gesture made the other party smile again, "Then you must try neve-8o28, she can present the most authentic melody, which is unmatched by digital music. I hope you The singing is worthy of her." He made no secret of his love for the machine, "Maybe I'll listen to your music then. Dave-groh1."

Looking at the outstretched broad palm, Renly shook hands politely, "Renly Hall."

"Good luck in recording today." David nodded, then took off and left in big strides.

Renly looked at the back of David's departure, and pursed his lips lightly—a good start. David Gru, the drummer of Nirvana and the founder of Spitfire, was a legend who booked a seat in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame early.
