Chapter 199: Released a pure music album
After Xiao Yao was determined as the new host of the program to replace Zhao Lixun, the recording of the first episode of Xiao Yao's participation and the third episode of this season's "Singer" program was also completed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the recording is completed, the singers will return to the hotel to rest, and the next day they will return to their own places to prepare the next episode, which will be the time next week when everyone will reconvene for the next episode.
For convenience, the program team tried to arrange the singers in the same hotel as much as possible. Before the recording of the show, because Xiao Yao's identity was to be kept secret, Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao's father and son did not meet in advance according to the requirements of the program team, but now that the recording of the show is over, the two who have no need for confidentiality live in the same hotel again, and the father and son, who have not seen each other for a while, naturally want to get together to chat.
Father and son are both singers, and in addition to telling some recent trivial matters and caring about each other's bodies, the most talked about is definitely music. However, since the two are now participating in the same show, they can be regarded as competitors, so in Xiao Siqi's hotel room, the two sitting on the sofa chatting very tacitly did not inquire about the songs they wanted to perform in the next episode of the show.
"Kicking the gym to win the second place, this is the best joint result in the history of the "Singer" program, it seems that my recommendation is really correct. Xiao Siqi also took the opportunity to ask Xiao Yao about his plans for the song to be performed tonight, "Your song today is very special, and the live effect is also very good, do you plan to follow the official studio version?"
"Not yet. Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "Actually, I have already recorded the studio version myself, but I don't plan to release it immediately." I don't know how many episodes I'm going to record for this show, so I can't release a single every other week, right? ”
"That's right. Xiao Siqi nodded and said, "There are a lot of new original songs after the release of your first original album, and the number of songs on the second album is not a few short, I originally planned to gather enough ten songs to help you send out the second original album, since you want to wait for the show to be recorded before releasing it, I think it's okay, when the time comes, we can pick one and try to form an album with a unified music style." ”
"It's hard for me to watch," Xiao Yao smiled and said, "Before participating in the show, I told Director Tao that the music styles of the original songs I participated in this show are also diverse, even if you add the previous songs, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make an album with a unified style." It is estimated that the style of the second album should be the same as the first, which is quite mixed. ”
"You..." Xiao Siqi pointed at Xiao Yao, and sighed a little speechlessly, "Okay, as you please." I don't think you care much about those music awards, do you?"
"I still care a lot, I just don't want to create specifically to win awards. My music style is already quite mixed, so why limit my creation for the sake of the same musical style on the album? I think that's a bit of a reversal of the cart. Xiao Yao said, "The best album is for sure, and the best song is also for sure, why bother just staring at the former." Besides, as long as the quality is high enough, the miscellaneous album is not unsuccessful. ”
"Okay, okay," Xiao Siqi waved his hand and said, "You can do whatever you want, anyway, it's your own business, and you've always done a good job, just control it yourself." I've never restricted you to what you do, let alone your creations, just to give you some advice. ”
"I understand, as your son, I have always felt very free and happy!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Alright, don't be a sycophant, go back to rest early if it's okay. Xiao Siqi smiled, "You are alone in Shencheng, pay more attention to your body." "Tomorrow morning, the father and son will go back to Yanjing and Shencheng respectively.
"I haven't finished talking about things yet, why did you drive me away?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"What else do you have to do?" The family also chattered, the music things were also said, and the things that should be instructed were also instructed, Xiao Siqi said strangely, "Aren't you going to make some trouble again?"
"That's right," Xiao Yao rolled his eyes and said, "I'm going to discuss with you about releasing an album, is this a moth?"
"Out of the album, didn't you just say that you would talk about it after the show is all over?" Xiao Siqi was even more strange.
"It was my album of original songs. Xiao Yao said, "What I want to discuss with you is to release a pure music album." ”
"Pure music albums, yours?" asked Xiao Siqi.
"Can it be someone else's?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Okay, we haven't released a pure music album in our studio yet, but it's not that it can't be released. Xiao Siqi is interested, "You tell me in detail." ”
"That's right," Xiao Yao said, "Today, when I was waiting for the rehearsal during the day, I was idle and bored, so I played the guitar in the lounge. Later, I had a fun time with the agent in the show, and she asked me to play the guitar music I wrote for her. It just so happened that I was short of money recently, so I planned to release an original pure music album. ”
"Why are you short of money again? Didn't you sell the right to play the Internet and make money from that short movie? I heard that you also specially gave gifts to your grandfather and your mother for this purpose, and sent red envelopes to Cheng Xi. Xiao Siqi first cared about Xiao Yao's financial situation, "You didn't come to participate in this show for the appearance fee, right? If you really don't have any money, just tell us, you still have to pay Fang and Pei Minyi their salaries, don't make them unable to eat." Xiao Yao got an ID card at the age of sixteen, and after having his own bank account, he was already financially independent, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying really didn't know what Xiao Yao's specific economic situation was.
"Not to that extent!" Xiao Yao said helplessly, "Lack of money does not mean financial difficulties, I live without worry now, you can rest assured." I'm just planning a big project and trying to get as much money as possible. When did you see me take on other brand advertising endorsements, that was when I was really financially difficult. Do you think I have an advertising endorsement on me now?"
"yes, that's what makes me weird. Xiao Siqi said, "You said that you are not famous, why don't you accept a single advertising endorsement? ”
"I can't look down on the low-grade, and I can't look down on the high-grade. Xiao Yao smiled.
"Huh?" Xiao Siqi said, "I heard Fang still say that you have even pushed the endorsement of foreign first-line brands, how high do you want to be?"
"Okay," Xiao Yao finally said honestly, "I'm afraid of trouble." Endorsements generally stipulate how many advertisements to shoot and how many commercial activities to appear, and I don't want to tie myself up. You also know, I have an idea for a while, who knows if there will be a conflict. I don't think it's interesting to just shoot an advertisement. Besides, your son is already the boss, and it's not like there is no way to make money, such as releasing an album or something. By the way, let's digress, let's talk about pure music albums, why did you talk about advertising endorsements for a long time. ”
"Okay, okay, you don't like to take it, anyway, your mother and I don't spend a penny on you. Xiao Yao waved his hand and said, "It's still about the album." Do you want to post an album of original guitar songs? ”
"Yes, but not entirely. Xiao Yao said, "The songs are all original, and they are all played by myself, but not one, but three!" Xiao Yao raised three fingers as he spoke.
"What, three at once?" Xiao Siqi glared, "You have written more than thirty pure guitar songs?"
"Not so much. Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile and said, "An album of guitar songs, ten tunes." An album of piano songs, more than ten pieces. There is also a miscellaneous album, that is, the songs of other instruments such as ocarina, hand discs, and saxophones add up to seem to have a dozen or so songs, which are made into an album together. ”
"You've written so much pure music in the past few years?" Xiao Siqi said incredulously.
"Well, almost. Xiao Yao nodded.
As for guitar music, when I went to see Sun Tingting last summer, I played about ten pieces outside the Chambers School of Music. Although those tunes weren't all pure guitar songs in the previous life, there are no songs like "Hotel California" in this world, and it's okay to insist that it's a guitar song. If you want to sing songs like "Hotel California" in the future, just say that it is based on the words of the tune, anyway, in this world, the copyright is your own, and it is not what you say.
As for piano music, Xiao Yao remembers more classics from his previous life. Even if he sold a few pieces to American pianists through Betty Bellette in the name of XY, it did not affect Xiao Yao to put those classic piano songs into his album. Xiao Yao will definitely not be able to sell the copyright of the classic songs in his previous life, and the power of the original author to publish and distribute them has been retained. Even if someone finds out that those songs have appeared under XY's name, the big deal is to disclose his XY identity, and at this age, Xiao Yao doesn't mind disclosing this identity for a long time, but he doesn't want to be too deliberate and hasn't encountered the right time.
All that's left is the ocarina, hand saucer and saxophone. Although Xiao Yao doesn't remember many classics in his previous life, it should be possible to add them up and make a compilation album with a dozen or so songs, if it really doesn't work, Xiao Yao even plans to use erhu tunes or flute tunes of traditional Chinese instruments to make up the numbers.
"Is there an official version?" Xiao Siqi asked with concern.
"Not yet, but the songs are ready-made, and they are all instruments that I know, and I don't have to sing them, and it's easy to record. Xiao Yao said, "After I go back, I will record the official version of the studio and send it to you as soon as possible, and you are ready to find someone to do the physical disc and contact the online sales of the music website." It doesn't matter if it's propaganda or not, anyway, I definitely don't have time to run propaganda. These are all tunes that I wrote myself, played them myself, and the recording equipment was also ready-made, and the cost was so low that it was almost negligible, and it was profitable to sell as much as I wanted, so it didn't matter if I let it sit there and wait for the market to ferment. ”
"Then you have to give me an approximate time, otherwise how can I arrange it?" Xiao Siqi said, "How long will it take for you to give me the recorded official version of the sound?" Also, will this affect the preparation for the competition of "Singer"?"
"I'll get my time right. Xiao Yao thought about it for a moment and said, "That's it, let's release an album of guitar songs first." Today, during the day, they recorded all the songs I played. No matter how it is edited, this paragraph will definitely be kept to some extent. We are trying to release this guitar album immediately after this episode of the show airs, so that we can use this show to do some publicity. The program recorded today will be broadcast in two weeks, and I will hand over the official version of the ten guitar songs to you in ten days, and leave a few days for you to arrange the release.
As for the other two albums, I'll record the official versions of the other two albums at a rate of ten songs in half a month and hand them over to you. The piano is probably not playing, but the ocarina, hand disc, and saxophone can all be taken to the lounge, I see if there is a chance to play these instruments in the lounge again, and then arrange the time for the album release depending on the situation, is this okay?"
"Absolutely. Xiao Siqi said with a smile, "Speaking of which, you don't accept endorsement advertisements, but you always advertise yourself through other people's programs." I watched the quick book you participated in, and it was an advertisement for your personal clothing brand, and an advertisement for your short film, and I heard that your advertisement didn't cost anything, and it made people do it willingly. You're too shrewd, aren't you?"
"The short film was obtained by me in exchange for the right to broadcast on the Internet, and my personal brand was designed by myself in order to increase the effect of their program, and it was skillfully integrated into it, but it didn't cost anything, how can it be said that it didn't cost anything?" Xiao Yao smiled, "Your son has a lot of skills, and he doesn't need to use money to solve everything." Just like today I was playing guitar in the lounge, and I played it for more than half an hour, all of which were original tunes, and you asked the program team to cut them all and try to see if they were reluctant? ”
"Okay, you have a lot of ability, great ability, and thoughtfulness and comprehensiveness, then do as you say!" Xiao Siqi said with a smile. The son has the ability, and he, as a father, is naturally happy.
"Then it's decided. Xiao Yao said.
"Hmm!" Xiao Siqi nodded in confirmation, and then asked curiously, "By the way, what did you just say about preparing a big project, and what are you going to do?"
"Keep it secret, and you'll know when the time comes. Xiao Yao got up with a smile and said, "It's not early, I'll go back and rest." You also rest early!" After speaking, Xiao Yao turned around and left.
"This kid is selling off again!" Xiao Siqi smiled helplessly.
