Chapter 182: Recording a Song

After leaving the luggage at my aunt's house and staying in the guest room for one night, Xia Ge drove a big run to record songs.

He has seven English songs in his head, both male and female.

At Tony's suggestion, Xia Ge decided to record two songs first. A female voice, the beast he sang, and the other he chose a mixed male and female song that fits his voice better and he also likes more.

In the recording studio, Xia Ge was singing intently, because all the songs had complete songs in his mind.

It only took one morning to make the accompaniment, and in the afternoon I started recording.

Tony was wearing monitor headphones through the glass. I want to hear how Xia Ge's new song level is.

In terms of accompaniment, it should be a good song.

But over the years, the accompaniment has been good, and he has seen too many songs with bad lyrics, and he still thinks that if the lyrics are too bad, he will help modify and revise the summer songs.

But the moment he heard Xia Ge speak, Tony was conquered.

He couldn't help but rub his ears, still a little incredulous in his heart.

Xia Ge was still singing intently, but Tony's heart was getting heavier and heavier.

It's not that the singing is bad, but the singing is really good!

Such a talent Colin has set such a strategy, I really don't know how it will develop in the future. Now Tony is very worried, if Xia Ge really sings popular, how will Sony Music keep this super genius!

“We don't talk anymore, we don't talk anymore,

There is only silence between us, and there is no whispering back,

We don't talk anymore, like we used to do,

There is only silence between us, and everything is as difficult as yesterday,

We don't love anymore,

Love is slowly wearing,

What was all of it for?

Why is this the result?

Oh, we don't talk anymore, like we used to do,

There was nothing to say, there was only silence in the past, and everything was as difficult as yesterday,

I just heard you found the one you've been looking.”

"His voice is so unique!" Tony shook his head, and when Xia Ge saw it, he immediately stopped singing and said strangely: "Tony, is there a problem with my singing?"

"No, no, no, no....... You continue, and it is estimated that you can pass it twice. Tony hurriedly waved his hand and said.

He was embarrassed to explain that he sighed because Xia Ge's realization was too good.

Thinking of the company's arrangement, he was also helpless, so he could only cooperate with Xia Ge to record the song first.

If you record both songs today, tomorrow Xia Ge will start hitting the charts near New York, and then slowly go to the surrounding cities to test the water with two songs first.

When the effect is good, come back and record other songs.

And Sony Music also happens to determine the number of album releases based on the number of on-demand views in a week, as well as the ranking of the announcement chart.

A day passed, and Xia Ge was very happy.

The recording of the two songs went smoothly, and there was no studio robbery like Huaguo.

Sony Music was generous in this regard, not only letting the gold medal producer accompany him throughout the process, but also giving him a recording studio so that he could record for as long as he wanted.

There is only one and a half months to go, and of course Xia Ge wants to start playing the list tomorrow.

His plan is to push one or two songs a week!

Push 4 to 6 songs a month, leaving half of the album to attract people to buy the album.

Now in addition to albums can sell money, singles can also be sold for money through streaming.

Of course, the chart period is naturally free, and Xia Ge also expects four or five songs to all rush into the top ten of the announcement list.

That, according to Sony's predictions, the album will sell at least 1 million copies or more.

It's the end of December, and this year's Grammys and other awards are missing. But next year's award has a good chance.

Like a popular star, the album used to sell millions. The album will cost around $20, and the debut may be a little more expensive than $25.

Because he is a newcomer, Xia Ge's album is priced at around $15.

Xia Ge and Sony Music discussed half of the points, and the cost of the channel fee album was deducted by about $5. Xia Ge can also be divided into $3-5 for an album. Because the cost of global sales is different from that of domestic sales in the United States, there is a difference in sharing.

If the global sales can really sell 10 million albums, Xia Ge can earn 450 million US dollars!

It's just that the entire American record market can still maintain tens of millions of albums with global sales, and there are no more than three albums a year. And they are all cumulative sales in a year or half a year.

Xia Ge doesn't have to think about the world, because even if the album is released, it will take three months to half a year to get global sales.

As for the contract signed with Sony Music, Xia Ge's album sales in the United States can be shared within ten days.

That's the limit of time that can only be done on Sony's decades of strong channels.

Xia Ge's goal is to surpass this year's Adele, whose "25" album has sold 3.38 million copies in the United States as of last week.

It took only two months!

Xia Ge feels that his songs are no worse than this album, but his Chinese identity is an uncertain point.

Sell it for 1 million, and Xia Ge will be satisfied.

In the future, the income will flow for a long time, and Xia Ge can also solve the problem of domestic capital flow.

It's just that the financing of the Xiong Meow platform is still poor, but it can really sell 1 million copies in 2 months, and the value of this album is tens of millions of dollars.

Xia Ge can immediately go to his uncle-in-law John's mortgage, which is enough to pay Xiong Meow platform.

When Tony was busy, Xia Ge stood aside and thought nonsense.

Until Tony interrupted Xia Ge's thoughts.

"Xia, the two songs have been produced, and the copies will be sent to the music stations we work with, but others will not play them. You need to run it yourself, and each radio station has to pay 1,000-5,000 US dollars for advertising. Tony said.

As he spoke, Tony's small eyes quietly looked at Xia Ge's expression.

If it were an American singer, it wouldn't be like this. This is a small means arranged for Colin to create difficulties for Xia Ge.

Originally, when the radio received a good song, it would play it anyway to see how the listeners reacted.

One of the major means of attracting listeners on the radio station is to keep recommending some good music, but now because of Sony Music, it has increased the difficulty for Xia Ge.

Everyone on the radio knows that the songs are written and sung by Asians.

At the same time, Xia Ge did not hit the list in the past, and at the time of the interview. Absolutely no summer song will be played.

Everyone knew that Xia Ge would take a tip and let them play the song. are all waiting for Xia Ge's arrival.

Tony found that Xia Ge didn't suspect it and directly gave him a list. Continued: "Mark will be with you, and you have three trips a day. Good luck!"

Xia Ge calculated the advertising fee he had to pay.

On average, at $3,000, $9,000 a day. Basically covers a city.

The cost is about $60,000 a week or $250,000 a month.

His publicity period is only one month, and he is still within the scope of bearing.

Originally, Sony Music had mentioned many times that as long as Xia Ge signed a contract, these expenses could be paid by Sony Music, but Xia Ge wanted to try it himself.

With two songs, Xia Ge began to hit the charts!
