Half an hour later, Lin Mi stood outside the recording room, listening to the truly heart-wrenching screams inside, and really wanted to turn around and run.
Unfortunately, the staff on site, whether intentionally or unintentionally, blocked the door with a human wall, cutting off any possibility of escaping the scene.
Lin Mi really couldn't understand, was the alliance's funding so tight?
For something as solemn as the theme song for the World Championship, instead of inviting professional singers to sing it, they captured these innocent e-sports players and made them howl in agony?
"As expected of a top e-sports player, he learns very quickly,"
The person in charge of the theme song said nonsense in a serious tone, "The effect is good, it just needs some audio tweaking in post-production."
The sound engineer with a distorted face: …
Are you serious?
Or do you guys in eSports all have such uniform singing standards?
In order to reduce the difficulty for the contestants, this recording does not require everyone to sing the entire theme song. One person only needs to sing a few sentences. However, for these e-sports death songs that are missing four of the five notes, this difficulty is not low.
For example, in the song "Sincerity" that he is currently recording, he can sing all the words heart-wrenchingly. Another example is the song "Popping Candy" that he just finished recording, it's like a mosquito reincarnated, not only is the voice small, but it's all in the same tone, and you can't tell which sentence is which.
As for Moka, who sang the first song, he still couldn't accept the blow. He collapsed on the sofa at the back and refused to get up. He refused to admit that he was the one who sang the funeral music just now.
Rong Zezhou stared at the lyrics in his hand with a dark face, his mind full of images of himself punching and escaping from the recording studio with Lin Mi. It was not until he came out from inside with full of confidence and the staff came to invite him in that he turned his head stiffly.
The staff smiled and coaxed him: "Don't worry, Ship God, we have hired the most professional sound engineer to ensure that the finished product will be excellent. Just give it your best."
He is one of the most popular god-level players in LPL, and also the most difficult player to deal with. No one had ever thought that he would be invited to this recording session. This unexpected surprise must be seized.
So although it seems that everyone's assigned lyrics are of similar length, in fact, the few sentences in Rong Zezhou's hand are the most important part of the whole song——
The kind that will be played several times and then be whipped over and over again.
Rong Zezhou stood there motionless, non-violent, but determined not to cooperate. The staff rolled his eyes and looked at Lin Mi who was standing nearby, and made a pitiful pleading gesture to him.
The God of Ships has a heart of steel, but our lovely e-sports brick is easy to talk to. Thanks to the WDG team for being so generous in sending two people!
Lin Mi smiled helplessly, reached out and grabbed Rong Zezhou's sleeve and tugged it gently. Rong Zezhou turned to him, his eyes full of reluctance.
"Ship God, now that you're here, are you going to run away now?"
Lin Mi coaxed softly, "Look, the other three teams have already finished recording. Our team can't be scared, right? Anyway, they can edit the sound, so you can sing however you want. I've heard the artists from my mom's company record songs before. Believe me, the sound engineers are the real deal. No matter how you sing, they can find a way to fix it."
What Lin Mi said was half true and half false. What was true was that his mother's company would indeed hire professional sound engineers to help with the songs. What was false was that any singer would at least have all five tones and it was impossible for them to sing to such an outrageous level as those three just now.
Lin Mi had never heard Rong Zezhou sing, so he wasn't sure. However, he believed that the Alliance also had to save face. Even if his boyfriend was really tone-deaf, the Alliance would find a way to train him to become a professional singer.
When the same words came out of Lin Mi's mouth, Rong Zezhou felt that they were more convincing than when they were said by the staff.
Today he has walked into a trap and he knows that he will not be able to escape. Anyway, he will be killed whether he sticks his head out or not. He can't be more embarrassing than those three just now, right?
Rong Zezhou finally walked into the recording studio obediently and put on the headset.
Then Lin Mi realized that he had thought too simply.
It’s not that his voice was bad or out of tune, it’s just that Lin Mi couldn’t figure out what song his boyfriend was singing after listening for half a minute.
It’s definitely not the song they are recording now.
Everyone outside the recording room had the same expression as Lin Mi, staring at Rong Zezhou behind the glass with their big, confused eyes. The recording engineer, who had heard that the boat god was difficult to deal with, kept his hand on the pause button for a long time, but still didn't dare to press it easily.
"Mr. Xu, how about letting this contestant stop for a while and learn more?"
The recording studio tentatively asked the person in charge next to him, "He has a good voice. If he sings well, the effect should be good."
The premise is that he sings the song we want to record.
The person in charge pinched his chin and frowned as he looked into the recording studio. Rong Zezhou had a serious expression on his face and it didn't look like he was kidding them at all.
"Xiaomi, why don't you go in and record with the boat god?"
The person in charge thought quickly, "You two are on the same team, how about singing a few lines together?"
Aren’t everyone supporting Mizhou CP?
He just didn't believe that if Lin Mi was included in the chorus, someone would still dare to mess around.
Lin Mi was naturally willing, because the staff had told them at the beginning that in addition to the solo parts, there would also be groups of choruses, so even if he sang with Rong Zezhou, it would not cause any controversy.
It’s really great to be able to sing a duet with your boyfriend, right?
The recording studio saw Lin Mi nod in agreement and decisively pressed the pause button. Rong Zezhou stopped with a puzzled look on his face, and then he saw his boyfriend push open the door and walk in.
"Is there something wrong with my singing?" Rong Zezhou asked quickly.
Lin Mi didn't intend to embarrass his boyfriend, so she said politely, "No problem, the recording engineer said your voice is very nice, let me come in and sing a duet with you."
Rong Zezhou was actually not used to it at all when recording with a headset for the first time. The music in the headset was too loud, and he couldn't tell whether he sang well or not. However, he was of course happy to sing with him because Lin Mi wanted to.
Seeing Rong Zezhou, who had a serious face just now, suddenly burst into laughter after Lin Mi came in, and even seemed to have a big fluffy tail wagging behind him, the person in charge smiled slightly -
Sure enough, what the barrage army said was true.
If you want to deal with the God of Ship, just release a Xiaomi.
Although Lin Mi is not a singer, his mother's studio has its own recording studio. He has played there when he was curious and has some understanding of recording songs. As soon as the prelude sounded in the headset, he understood why Rong Zezhou's singing just now was completely wrong.
Most people have trouble controlling the pitch when they can't hear their own voices clearly. The first few contestants who were recording the songs were participating for the first time and thought it was normal to have such loud music. They never thought about turning it down, which led to the first three car accident scenes.
Rong Zezhou was probably more sensitive than the other three, so he simply ignored the adjustment.
Lin Mi reached out and took off Rong Zezhou's headset, hung it around his neck, and then turned the volume to maximum.
He had asked the recording studio before, and if they were not familiar with in-ear monitoring, not using it was the simplest and most effective option.
The music entered the part they were supposed to sing, and Lin Mi leaned forward to the microphone and spoke softly.
His voice is actually very special, with the crispness of a teenager and the heaviness of an adult. The two seemingly completely different textures blend perfectly in his voice, making his timbre like that of the straight little poplar, clean yet with depth.
Lin Mi has never learned to sing, so naturally he doesn't have any singing skills, but the tone of this theme song itself is straightforward enough, without any difficult transitions, just to express the firm and pure belief of e-sports players.
For a non-professional singer, this kind of song is the most suitable for him to perform. Lin Mi's volume is not loud and he seems not to be trying hard, but everyone who listens to the song can feel the confidence and persistence he wants to express.
The clean voice and unpretentious singing were more in line with the mood of the song itself, making the recording engineer, who originally had a look of despair on his face, sit up straight and listen attentively.
Immediately afterwards, Rong Zezhou also started singing.
This time, without the interference of the headset, he finally found the original tune of the song.
Rong Zezhou's voice is deeper than Lin Mi's, even a little hoarse. If Lin Mi's singing is the poplar, then Rong Zezhou's singing is the earth that supports the growth of the poplar.
The earth does not have the upward momentum of the young poplar, but it is more mellow and broad. It opens its arms and firmly grasps the roots of the young poplar, allowing it to take root deeper and grow taller.
This is just like their identities, one is a super rookie who just debuted on the field, and the other is a veteran who has been fighting in LPL for many years. When the two people sang together, it just fits the meaning of this theme song -
Cooperate, strive, and fight for honor and ideals.
The two people have different timbres, but the mood they express is equally firm and persistent, full of the belief in victory and the determination to scale the top, making the listeners feel as if a great battle is about to begin and their blood is boiling.
"marvelous!"
The recording engineer generously applauded Lin Mi and Rong Zezhou, "You sang very well, giving people a very pure feeling. I believe the final product will be very good!"
Rong Zezhou regained his cool demeanor and nodded to the sound engineer. Lin Mi smiled and said, "The volume in the headset was too loud just now, so they didn't perform well. I suggest that the first three contestants re-record."
He just wanted to make the song more effective, and definitely not to take revenge for being called a brick in the lounge.
True Heart, Magic Card, Popping Candy: ...
No, we don't want to!
You can fix the sound anyway, why make things difficult for us!
…
Lin Mi didn't care much about the fact that Roll tricked them into recording a song. He just stuffed Da Tao and Zhu Sha into Roll's room to sleep for three consecutive nights.
As for whether Roll had his bed occupied and had to squeeze in with Yan Jin, Lin Mi said he didn't know, but he had already imagined it.
The CP is very good, and the imagination is also very sweet.
As time goes by, the World Championship is getting closer.
Teams from other regions flew to City H one after another, and Riot also temporarily transferred the game server from City S to City H. In order to better arrange training matches, the WDG team also prepared to set off.
Compared to other teams who take civil aviation travel reimbursed by Riot Games, the private jet that WDG team takes is particularly enviable.
What’s even more infuriating is that they don’t have to pay for their private jet ride themselves, but rather the bill is paid by a stand-alone game company that has nothing to do with them.
"Hello everyone, I'm Hayate, and we're heading to the airport!"
Ji Feng was in a good mood and started a live broadcast to share his schedule with fans, "Don't go away, I will show you our big plane later!"
Brother Hai came over and interrupted: "Hot knowledge, private planes are far less large than large civil aviation planes, and the plane you're taking later is not yours, it belongs to our sponsor dad."
Ji Feng smiled indifferently: "That's not important. What's important is, do you know why other teams have to take commercial flights, but we can take private planes?"
A row of friendly "whys" were typed on the barrage.
Ji Feng said proudly: "Of course it's because our team has an extremely versatile player, the kind of invincible player who can make sponsors bow down!"
Lin Mi: ...
It’s not that I didn’t have it. You can’t make up for it by bragging anymore!
Rong Zezhou, who was sitting behind Ji Feng, picked up his hat and put it directly on Ji Feng's head: "If you keep talking nonsense, you won't be able to get on the plane later. Go on your own."
Ji Feng complained unwillingly: "Why! Xiaomi belongs to all of us, the sponsor Xiaomi brought in also belongs to all of us, and the sponsor's plane belongs to all of us, brother, don't even think about monopolizing it!"
Rong Zezhou laughed and clenched his fists.
Ji Feng immediately covered his head and fled to the other side, skillfully making the barrage of comments laugh.
After Ji Feng's unreliable explanation, the audience who watched the whole process in Lin Mi's live broadcast room that day understood what was going on and laughed at the Ghost Altar game company to their heart's content.
They even posted an announcement saying there was a hidden easter egg, but then turned around and came to hug my kid's thigh and asked for a review. It's so funny that they want to save face but don't really want to save face.
Ji Feng's live broadcast of the journey was forced to stop halfway because he fell into a deep sleep before reaching the airport, despite waking up early.
Rong Zezhou immediately confiscated his phone. Even though the comments in the live broadcast room begged the boat god to show mercy and let them watch Ji Feng sleep, the iron-hearted boat god still closed Ji Feng's live broadcast room without hesitation and decided not to return the phone to Ji Feng before the plane landed.
This is to prevent him from really broadcasting a live broadcast of his private jet, making everyone think that their entire team looks unsophisticated.
Maintaining his personal image in front of the public at all times is the ship god's stubborn insistence.
The journey by private plane was quiet and comfortable. The team members who woke up early had a good sleep, and after getting off the plane, they were a group of energetic young people again.
The organizer sent a bus to pick them up at the airport and took them directly to an e-sports park on the seaside.
There are all kinds of e-sports elements everywhere in the park, even the trash cans are shaped like Tam with his mouth wide open.
Rong Zezhou felt that it was embarrassing for his teammates to take photos with the trash can, and he couldn't bear to watch so he wanted to move forward. Then he saw his boyfriend jumping to the side of a street lamp that looked like a little dragon and waving at him happily:
"Ship God, come and take a photo with the little dragon. Pray that we can kill the Fire Dragon and the Lightning Dragon when we are in an advantageous position, or the Wind Dragon when we are in a disadvantageous position!"
Rong Zezhou leaned over with a straight face, imitated Lin Mi and made a heart shape with him, saying, "But this street lamp is a water dragon."
Lin Mi smiled: "Is this important? Isn't the point now that we are taking a photo together?"
Rong Zezhou: ...
Okay, you are absolutely right.
eggplant!
