Chapter 315: "Rehearsal Combination" of Album Songs
Chen Minhao explained sincerely: "Appearing in this drama is required by the school leaders, and it will be beneficial for me to win acting awards in the future."
Moreover, in order to cater to my time, the whole drama club gave up the weekend rehearsal and changed to rehearsal from Monday to Friday. I'm embarrassed to shirk it now. ”
Wu Hongrong knew that the drama would inevitably take up part of Chen Minhao's time, but when he heard that starring in this drama would help Chen Minhao win some awards in the acting category in the future, he didn't plan to say anything more.
Wu Hongrong really understands the desire for "trophies", is it purely for money that he spends time and energy to help Chen Minhao make an album?
No, if Wu Hongrong wants to make money, there are too many ways. He helped Chen Minhao make an album just because he wanted to win the award for Best Album Producer!
Wu Hongrong is well-known in the industry and has also created several platinum albums. But due to various coincidences, he did not have a chance to lift the trophy for Best Album Producer.
For Wu Hongrong, he no longer needs the trophy of the best album producer to prove himself, but what makes him unhappy is that every time it comes to the awards season, he will be taken out by the media to walk around.
If Wu Hongrong has an album that is nominated, then he will be named an award-winning hot by the media. If Wu Hongrong does not have an album to be nominated, then he will be counted by the media into the list of producers who have failed in the past, and compared with the producers who did not win this year, he will be pulled out and whipped.
Wu Hongrong thought for a while and said: "For your album, I invited a few of my old buddies to come over and get a lot of contacts, so you have to pay attention to the album."
In addition, your music style is changeable, and there are some directions that I may not know very well, and I also hired an old acquaintance of yours, your music mentor Li Hao in "Artist Trainee", as a consultant. ”
If Chen Minhao didn't know that Wu Hongrong always doesn't speak with his brain, otherwise he would have wanted to diss Wu Hongrong's expression...... Chen Minhao thought for a while and said sincerely: "Even if it's not for you, I'm for myself, and I will do my best." ”
After Wu Hongrong saw Chen Minhao's statement, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "My group of old buddies will be here in a while, let's have a meal together first, and then in the afternoon, let's talk about business." ”
Wu Hongrong's execution is really strong, in a week's time, Chen Minhao just sorted out a direction of the song about parting in his mind, and began to practice the first song, Wu Hongrong has already found a team that has always been able to produce albums.
Wu Hongrong found a total of nine people, who are experts in the fields of recording and sound repair, arrangement, publicity, marketing, and design, and they have made good achievements in the industry.
These nine people were also excited when they saw Chen Minhao, after all, Chen Minhao won the Golden Melody Award for the Best Golden Melody of the Year and the Best Newcomer of the Year at a young age, and his future is limitless.
After a few moments of exchanging business in Mr. Wu's office, they drove to Ryukoku Villa, a farmhouse on the outskirts of Kyoto.
Longgu Villa is built by the lake, the restaurant has a unique flavor, the lake fish is delicious, people eat and forget to return, in addition to eating, it integrates leisure, exclusivity and play.
When Chinese people talk about friendship, business often does not start from the confrontation of suits and leather shoes at the negotiation table, but is born at the wine table and in the staggered bargaining.
The dozen or so people at the dinner table are basically one round older than Chen Minhao, or even two rounds older, but age has not become an obstacle for them to call Chen Minhao brothers.
In addition to cold dishes, the dishes are freshly made, and the chickens and fish are freshly killed.
Before the cold dishes were served, Chen Minhao first toasted Wu Hongrong and thanked him for bringing everyone together to help him make an album.
Then Chen Minhao got up and poured himself another glass of wine and raised his glass.
"Everyone is a big fan in the music industry, and it's an honor for me to come together and make an album for me. Meeting is fate, I will first toast everyone. ”
"Here, cheers to our new album. ”
"Cheers!"
.........
The literati are despised by each other, and the artists even think they are high, and some of these nine people do not know each other, and two of them do not deal with each other.
But Chen Minhao warmed up the feelings of several people very well, and after a table of meals, Wu Hongrong nodded at Chen Minhao with satisfaction, Chen Minhao can be regarded as overfulfilling the task.
Wu Hongrong's head was also a little dizzy after a few glasses of wine, and he really wanted to chop off Chen Minhao's head to see how his head grew.
Before meeting Chen Minhao, Wu Hongrong felt that talented young people were always a little arrogant, and it was rare for a young man who was as talented as Chen Minhao but could put himself very low.
More than a dozen people drank at noon, and a few of them were so drunk that they naturally had no way to discuss it after sleeping all afternoon. In the evening, I had another drink, and I talked about the past and the present at the wine table, but I didn't talk about the album.
On Sunday morning, Wu Hongrong set up a conference room at Longgu Villa for a formal discussion.
This is the first time they have met, so everyone has come, they can't put all their strength on Chen Minhao's album, they also have their own things to do, and the discussion will only take place in a small area in the future.
Wu Hongrong asked the waiter to make a few pots of tea and let her out, and told her not to come in without calling.
Wu Hongrong lit a cigarette and said, "Save time, let's start cutting straight to the point." ”
Hu Li, who was in charge of the promotion of the album, said: "The entry point of the theme of parting is quite good, but if I remember correctly, Chen Minhao should be in his early 20s this year, how did you think of the theme of parting?"
Wu Hongrong directly interrupted him and said: "There is no point in us discussing this today, what I hope to hear is that you use your industry experience to give Chen Minhao some experience, which is more conducive to his own creation." ”
Hu Li's face was a little embarrassed, and he said: "This time, Lao Wu, your temper is still so impulsive, good, as far as parting is concerned, from the perspective of common sense, the scope of parting is very wide, there are many partings of couples, friends, and lovers, and we had better include them."
Wu Hongrong complained again: "This is another correct, but useless nonsense." ”
One person started and the discussion was heated all at once.
"My advice is that if the theme of an album's songs is parting, don't convey all the sadness. ”
"My advice is not to stick to Chinese songs, it is better to find someone to write you an English song, which will help you open up the European and American markets." ”
"In terms of theme, we frame the words of parting, and we can try to diversify our creations. For example, electronic music, antique style, and so on. ”
。。。。。。
At the end of the discussion, Chen Minhao densely recorded a piece of paper, and many of their suggestions did give Chen Minhao a lot of inspiration for the "rehearsal combination".
Chen Minhao was suddenly full of expectations for his new album.
