Chapter 102: The Half-Step Queen, Who Is Not Serious
It is shameless that Chen Qi asked to participate in the production process of this song throughout the process, but there was no intention of paying for it.
Not only did he not pay for it, but he didn't even care about all the manpower and equipment needed for the production.
What's even more infuriating is that in terms of cooperation with music platforms, he also stated that Xu Man was responsible for himself, and he was only responsible for licensing and collecting money......
All in all, the production and promotion of this song on her side are all led by her, and he doesn't care about anything but has the absolute right to speak!
"Do you know how I worked with record companies and music platforms before?" Looking at Chen Qi's excessive requirements, Xu Man was also a little speechless.
Even if she spends 5 million to buy a singing right, she has to pay for the production fee herself?
That's a little too humbling, isn't it?
She is also the leader of the new generation, is it also good to save face?
"Huh?" Chen was stunned at first, then shook his head very truthfully, and said, "To be honest, I'm not very interested. ”
Xu Man: "......"
She also couldn't tell if he was really not interested or if he was pretending to be stupid!
Okay, for the sake of how she is the winner of this song, according to your rules of the game, follow your rules of the game.
Who made her tempted?
Because it was the first time to work together, and there were a lot of details to consider, the two were busy until the coffee shop closed and didn't draw up the contract.
In the end, they decided to go to Xu Man's studio tomorrow to continue.
Chen Qi learned that Xu Man was a freelancer, and she opened her own studio as early as two years ago, and has been cooperating with major performing arts companies and music platforms as a partner.
......
The next day.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Qi came to Xu Man's studio as promised.
Although Xu Man's studio is not in the city center, or even in a prosperous area, the transportation is very convenient, and the surrounding environment is also very good.
It was a small single-family building that he really liked.
The small building has a total of three floors, and from the outside it looks low-key and inconspicuous at all. He didn't even see a signboard or anything like that at the door, and it was easy for someone who didn't know to think it was an ordinary house.
Chen Qi looked at it with some envy, and stepped forward to ring the doorbell.
He didn't make too much fuss about Xu Man's choice of this location far from the city center.
After all, people are musicians, and the most important thing to make music is to have a relatively quiet and non-disturbing environment.
The door on the first floor opened quickly, and it was the little assistant who was with Xu Man yesterday who opened the door.
"Hello Mr. Chen, please. The assistant politely welcomed him in.
After entering, Chen Qi found that this studio, which looked inconspicuous on the outside, was unique inside.
The decoration here is both individual and atmospheric, and it is also very appreciative, and at a glance, you can see that Xu Man has put a lot of thought into it.
"Please follow me, Sister Man is upstairs. The assistant guided him upstairs.
After going upstairs, Chen Qi found that there were many people upstairs, and all of them were women, and they all looked quite young.
Chen Qi's gaze swept over them one by one, not to mention, they all looked quite beautiful.
Probably hearing the footsteps going upstairs, several people subconsciously looked towards the stairs.
"Here he comes. Xu Man smiled and got up and greeted Chen Qi.
The others looked at Chen Qi with a curious and strange gaze.
Guiding Chen Qi to sit down on the sofa, Xu Man took out a document from the table and handed it over, saying, "These are some of the terms I drafted last night, you can take a look." ”
"Okay. Chen Qi also handed over the other details he had thought about last night.
Because they had already set up the framework of the entire contract last night, and these details and clauses were all supplemented under this framework, there was no big problem.
After confirming that it was correct, the two quickly signed the contract.
Chen Qi either earns five million, or builds a song and loses another million.
Either you make or lose, there is no such thing as capital protection.
"These people are your production team?" Chen Qi asked as he looked at the girls not far away.
"Yes. Xu Man nodded.
"Why do they always look at me with such strange eyes?" Chen Qi looked blank.
When he came up here just now, he noticed that they had been secretly watching him, and now that he had signed the contract, they were still watching!
Xu Man glanced over there and wrote lightly: "Oh, I may have taken a fancy to you." ”
"......" the corners of Chen's mouth twitched unconsciously.
No...... Is this half-step diva so unserious?
"Would I like to introduce you, most of them are single!" Xu Man looked at him with a smile.
"Heh......" Chen Qi looked at her with some amusement, and skipped the topic very stiffly, "What's next?
"Let's talk about what you want. Xu Man beckoned to the girls not far away, motioning for them all to come over.
Chen Qi was not hypocritical, and directly said the effect he wanted.
The rhythm is light and fast, which instruments are needed to accompany it, where the sounds of these accompaniments appear, and so on.
He wanted to replicate the original "Light Years Away" into this world as much as possible.
Xu Man and her production team listened attentively, nodding in agreement as they listened.
"Okay, let's try it again!" After listening to Chen Qi's speech, Xu Man clapped her hands and motioned for her production team to familiarize herself with the score first.
Her production team sprang into action and began to make all sorts of preparations for the audition.
After a while, a piano sound sounded in Chen Qi's ears, which was the prelude to "Light Years Away".
Listening to this familiar voice with a hint of jerky, Chen Qi inexplicably felt a sense of intimacy.
The corners of his mouth curled with a hint of emotion.
Half a minute later, the sound of drumming also sounded.
This studio is quite well equipped.
Chen Qi watched and listened silently.
Next to him, Xu Man was also holding the music score and reciting.
"Sister Man, it's okay. After more than half an hour, the production team, who had a feel for the score, signaled that they were ready.
"Come!" Xu Man got up and walked over.
The piano accompaniment sounded quickly, and compared with just now, the trace of jerkiness had completely disappeared, so that Chen Qi couldn't help but sigh at the strength of the professional team.
More than ten seconds later, Xu Man's voice also sounded.
"Feel stop at the fingertips of the beginning,"
"How instantly, freeze time!"
As soon as she spoke, Chen Qi's face showed a look of amazement.
Her voice is really nice.
Although the taste she sang was not the same as the feeling of Deng Ziqi, this version was equally good, which was not the same good.
"Fate allows us to meet outside the troubled world!"
"Fate wants us to love each other in times of crisis!"
When Xu Man sang the chorus of the high dynasty, Chen Qi even found a slightly more comfortable posture and leaned on the sofa.
Listening to people singing well is really an ultimate enjoyment!
Chen Qi looked at Xu Man silently.
The current Xu Man seems to be judging the two of them before. At this moment, she no longer sees the slightest bit of laziness and casualness on her face, but instead focuses on music and seriousness.
Not only her, but her production team also performed their duties seriously and did their best to cooperate with her singing.
This picture is very visually impactful, and it reminds him of a singing show called "I Am a Singer" that he watched when he was on Earth.
It's a very professional team, but I don't know how much it costs to raise such a team.
Sooner or later, Chen Qi will have to toss around in the music world, and now he is asking to participate in all the production process of "Light Years Away" to understand the whole process of a song from writing to release.
The only thing that makes him a little bottomless now is that he doesn't know if he sings well.
Maybe we should find a time to sing a song for these professionals to rate?
While he was thinking, the studio slowly quieted down.
The song is finished.
Then, everyone turned their eyes to Chen Qi in unison.
"???" felt that they seemed to be looking at them with a little expectation, and Chen Qi was confused.
What do you want me to do?
"What do you think, how far is it from the effect you want?" Xu Man looked at him and asked.
He took out the song, and he seemed to know exactly which direction to go.
He is the person who is most qualified to evaluate the song.
"......" Listening to Xu Man's words, the corners of Chen Qi's mouth twitched unconsciously.
He had just been enjoying the wonderful sound and had forgotten to pay attention to her effect.
But he didn't show his gaffe even though he was shameless, and after thinking about it with a pretended mumble, he said, "Play the recording again." ”
He didn't know if they had a recording or not, but with such a professional team, there should be. In case there is none......
Then he would despise them.
With such a professional team, the audition singing is not recorded?
Outcome......
As soon as he finished speaking, music began to play.
It is the version that Xu Man auditioned just now.
Chen Qi smiled and listened carefully, carefully identifying what he thought needed to be changed.
On the side, Xu Man and others were also listening carefully.
Judging from the smiles on their faces, they seemed to be quite satisfied with the song.
The song was quickly sung.
"Put it again. Chen Qi brought the score on the table and added notes where he felt needed to be revised.
Although Xu Man has sung very well, he still feels that there are many things that need to be corrected after listening to the original singing.
"Stop. ”
"Go on!"
"Come again!"
Chen Qi listened to it over and over again, scribbling and changing the score while listening, looking very professional.
On the side, Xu Man and the production team also came over at some point, watching thoughtfully behind him.
They looked at the music score that was painted beyond recognition, and then at Chen Qi, who seemed to have completely fallen into a state of self-forgetfulness, and their eyes moved slightly.
