But unwilling to see the scenery

Jiang Nuo stared at the account balance displayed on the screen of the mobile phone, raised his head after refreshing several times, and choked out three words to Yan Ruoyu: "Too much."

"A lot?" Yan Ruoyu didn't take it seriously, and smiled naughtily.After Jiang Nuo promised to compose a song for him, he brought people to Huxi Villa that night. The rented house on No. 16 Street could not go back, so he settled Jiang Nuo here. In addition to the studio and musical instrument room, there is another room vacant in the [-]-square-meter commercial house, which is just right for him to live in, and it is also convenient for "on-the-go" Call anytime."

It was the first time for Jiang Nuo to see so many professional hardware devices.The hardware needs money, but he and Jiang Shan have no money, so there is no way to be so extravagant. After playing rap for so many years, they still only have one sound card and one computer, and all the mixing and arrangement use software.Yan Ruoyu has everything from keyboards to synthesizers, all of which he had inquired about in the second-hand market before and was reluctant to buy them. The musical instrument room next door is even a treasure trove, including pianos.

Yan Ruoyu gave him a few days to familiarize himself with these devices, and before handing over the keys to him, he specifically emphasized that he had no other requirements, and he did not care about his private life, but one thing, Jiang Nuo could not bring anyone here, girlfriend Boyfriends are not good, and friends with benefits are even more bad.

Jiang Nuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and told Yan Ruoyu to rest assured that he was really not gay, and he didn't have a girlfriend, and the person he kept in touch with the most was his oily younger brother.

Before leaving, Yan Ruoyu left him two lyrics written by himself, hoping to hear a suitable beat next time, and transferred a sum of money to Jiang Nuo. Jiang Nuo thought it was too much, but Yan Ruoyu said: "You will definitely run away again if you give less."

Jiang Nuo put all three fingers together and was about to swear, Yan Ruoyu waved his hand, saying that his sheep is very fat, and then he asked seriously, "Is your uncle okay?"

Jiang Nuo was stunned for a moment, he didn't know that his background had been checked by Yan Xuetao.Although he has worked in a dishonorable job, he has not wasted a penny, either to pay off his debts or to subsidize his uncles and aunts who have been kind to him.He left No. 16 Street not because he ran away, but because Jiang Qingyun accidentally broke his leg on the way to hide from the city management, and he went to the hospital, and the tricycle that sold Mala Tang was also confiscated by the city management. He has been in the hospital for two days. Most of the money given to him was spent on medical expenses.

"You take the money first, you will always need it." Yan Ruoyu teased himself, "I only have money, and I don't have anything else if you ask me."

It was three days after Yan Ruoyu returned to Huxi Villa, he didn’t see Jiang Nuo in the living room, the studio was also empty, but after opening the musical instrument room, he was found sitting on the floor playing the guitar, the music he played was very jazzy Tune.Chuxi lay beside his lap, as if he had listened to it for a long time, and fell asleep with his eyes closed, his ears drooping, and he didn't even hear anyone open the door.

Alaska is growing well at this age, and it changes every day. Jiang Nuo is about to show Yan Ruoyu how promising he has grown, but Yan Ruoyu looks cold and not interested. When he came to the well-lit living room, he noticed the obvious fatigue in Yan Ruoyu's eyes.

"Good afternoon." Pei Xiaozhao also came, and greeted Jiang Nuo cheerfully, in stark contrast to Yan Ruoyu.Yan Ruoyu ignored him and went straight into the studio. Pei Xiaozhao pulled Jiang Nuo back and whispered to him, "Boss is not in a good mood today."

Jiang Nuo wanted to say that he could see it too.

"I didn't go to the bar for two nights in a row, and I didn't come home until four or five in the morning. Today he squinted for two hours, and then said he wanted to come to you. You...be careful later, he will deliberately choke you It's normal to find fault." Pei Xiaozhao has seen how unreasonable his boss can be when he has a bad temper, so he gave Jiang Nuo a vaccination first.

"Okay, got it." Jiang Nuo understood and walked into the studio.

The studio is connected by two rooms, the space is about the same size as the living room, and the absolutely soundproof recording room is located inside, separated from the control room by a wall inlaid with large glass.Jiang Nuo originally thought that they would start chatting from the concept of the song, but as soon as they entered the room, Yan Ruoyu went straight into the recording room.

Jiang Nuo turned on the intercom microphone on the console, and Yan Ruoyu knocked on the microphone, asking him to turn on this too.

Jiang Nuo couldn't be sure of his intentions, so he couldn't help asking: "You want me to play the beat directly and record a freestyle for you?"

"Play Hugo's beat," Yan Ruoyu said, "I want to record "coral" again."

The song "coral" has been released for almost three months. On the first day it was uploaded, it reached the top of the Netease cloud music chart. Fans rushed to tell each other, "Grandma, your favorite singer finally released a song, and it's still a rap song." No matter what passers-by think I am not used to Yan Ruoyu's character and style, but I have to admit that the song itself is excellent.

But Yan Ruoyu himself was still not satisfied.

In fact, he was dissatisfied with all his songs, and wished they could all be removed from the shelves. Jiang Nuo wanted to persuade him not to be too picky, but thinking back to Young Master Yan's paranoid washing his hands, he is indeed a perfectionist.

He sat in front of the console and played the beat, Yan Ruoyu put on the headphones, and he could recite the lyrics in English without reading the script.Since his debut, he has released a total of 8 songs, and recorded more than this number, but regardless of whether he released it or not, they are all in English. Although he has been drinking all night and has not had a good rest, he is still as smooth as a machine gun when he opens his mouth.

The structure of the song "coral" is very traditional. There are three verses (lyrics) connected by hooks (chorus).After Yan Ruoyu sang the first verse, he stopped and came out of the recording studio to listen to it again with Jiang Nuo.Jiang Nuo thought it was very good. If he could have this kind of state on the scene, he would definitely be praised and ate the whole CD, but Yan Ruoyu shook his head from the second sentence, saying that he slowed down the filming.

Jiang Nuo could also hear it, except for a few slow beats, there were also some flaws in pronunciation.Yan Ruoyu recorded it again very consciously, the second time he didn't swallow the words, but he still heard that he was recording slowly.

He seems to be on the right track with the beat, the voice and the accompaniment are already very well matched, but he just feels that there is a very subtle problem with the beat.After recording the first verse no less than ten times, Jiang Nuo discussed with Yan Ruoyu: "Why don't you just pretend that you are singing layback. If the rhythm of singing is slightly slower than the rhythm of the music, it will actually be more comfortable to listen to."

Yan Ruoyu was unmoved: "I sang faster this time."

Jiang Nuo forcibly created a phrase: "Then you are singing laybefore, and it is comfortable to listen to."

Yan Ruoyu: "..."

Yan Ruoyu took two steps with arms folded, the air pressure was lower than before, like a bulging balloon, waiting for a needle to burst.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, premature explosion and premature birth, Jiang Nuo put himself in the position of producer, and asked Yan Ruoyu if he would like to listen to a demo he made in the past two days.

Yan Ruoyu didn't have the urgency and excitement when he was looking for NoA before, and said flatly: "Okay."

His casual appearance made Jiang Nuo a little inexplicably disappointed, and he became even more disturbed after clicking the play, afraid that Yan Ruoyu would not like it. The demo lasted for 1 minute. Yan Ruoyu's brows did not open the whole time. After listening to it, his eyes narrowed. He commented unsatisfactorily: "Is the drum beat too fast? It sounds very anxious."

Jiang Nuo explained: "The drum beats of the grime music style must be so fast, with more than 1bmp per minute. The frequency of trap is only half of it. The slower the drum beat frequency, the more people will follow along, so trap is very popular. until now."

Yan Ruoyu was well aware of how magical traps are, and nodded in agreement.That year "PickPick! "The theme song uses trap accompaniment, he sings the high-pitched part, and the rap is Tang Yanguan.The lyrics of the theme song are so simple as to be insane, but the superimposition of the accompaniment and vocals is psychedelic and ecstasy, which is extremely brainwashing.That song has also been spread all over the streets and alleys, whether it is a dancing square or a disco nightclub, it is suitable for playing. Men, women, and children will hum a few words. If it was ranked second on last year's Divine Comedy list, no one would dare to say that they are number one. .

It can be seen that trap is really popular in China, and even the songs in the talent show will use the drum characteristics of trap.Nowadays, more and more people are singing trap, and even some veteran rappers will add one or two trap songs to their oldschool albums to attract young people.

"Yeah, everyone is singing trap now, almost no one has tried grime." Jiang Nuo added, "Chinese."

Grime, also known as British rap, is a native British music style, and culturally it cannot be equated with hiphop, which originated in the United States.

Some people say that it is not unreasonable that the hip-hop market is dominated by black brothers. They have their own racial talent and can chat freestyle.But British blacks seldom have this sense of rhythm, let alone African indigenous blacks whose native language is not English.Yan Ruoyu has actually lived in Europe for a longer period of time. Jiang Nuo listened to his previous songs, and the English standards in them are fluent, but they do not 100% reproduce the rhythm and street sense of black Americans. They still have their own voice and pronunciation. features on.

Jiang Nuo then thought of grime and doubled the frequency of the drums, thinking that this type of accompaniment might be suitable for Feasting Ruoyu.

But Yan Ruoyu's mind is still on the previous songs, and he doesn't want to continue to communicate with Jiang Nuo about other music styles: "Let's record "Coral" again."

Jiang Nuo scratched his hair, almost being defeated by Yan Ruoyu's stubbornness, but Yan Ruoyu didn't play the accompaniment after he re-entered the recording studio.Yan Ruoyu came out again impatiently, he insisted: "The song "Coral" on NetEase Cloud is already worth 99.9 points, you don't need to be obsessed with that 0.1 points."

Yan Ruoyu was not moved: "I am willing."

"You should move on."

Yan Ruoyu's temper really came up, and he choked on Jiang Nuo: "You care about me?"

Yan Ruoyu waited for him to raise his voice to himself, and then the two had a quarrel.But Jiang Nuo was not angry. He just looked at him with distressed eyes, and asked, "If I keep recording with you, will you feel better in your heart?"

Yan Ruoyu vented most of the anger in his heart that was ready to move.

He didn't want Jiang Nuo to discover his changes, he left the studio angrily, walked into the musical instrument room and closed the door heavily.Jiang Nuo sat in the studio for a long time before going out with a sigh. Pei Xiaozhao was sitting on the sofa teasing him. He raised his paw to shake hands with him once, and he rewarded him with a piece of dog food. Depressed, seeing them holding hands one by one, he still smiled: "Don't feed it too much, if you get fat, you won't be able to lose weight."

Pei Xiaozhao had just finished feeding the dog food in his hand, and he clenched his fists down, trying to tease Qianxi to guess which hand had food in his hand, and Qianxi was shrewd, so he didn't fall for the trick, so he jumped off the sofa and ran towards Jiang Nuo.Jiang Nuo hugged it in his arms, and then sat on the single sofa next to Pei Xiaozhao. When Pei Xiaozhao saw his downcast appearance, he guessed it closely: "Are you two having trouble?"

Jiang Nuo absently massaged Xi's head and neck, and asked Pei Xiaozhao, "Is he not satisfied with me?"

"Hey, don't say that," Pei Xiaozhao switched to the showman mode, with a look of panic, "If he doesn't even satisfy you, I'll have to pack up and leave, and the year-end award will be ruined."

Jiang Nuo was puzzled, but Pei Xiaozhao was not surprised.

"You went to elementary school and junior high school in China. You must have seen some boys steal their erasers and ponytail them in order to attract the attention of the girls at the front desk." Pei Xiaozhao gave Jiang Nuo an example, "My boss wanted to cooperate with you last year. Yes, that is to say, he wrote you letters on and off for a year, and sent them all to that work mailbox, and now he has finally found him, wishing to peacock in front of your eyes every day."

Pei Xiaozhao exaggeratedly sighed, as if he had seen through everything, and continued: "It's a pity, he has a quick temper, and he wishes to have a tacit understanding with you as Boya Ziqi. , I want to fight against you."
