Chapter 29: Phantom Feather Band

November 18th.

The movie "Crazy Stone" began to be officially released.

Originally, according to Liu Xiaofei's intentions, a premiere could be held, but Xu Lei and they knew too few stars, not to mention many entertainment reporters who were "looking for topics".

Therefore, after agreeing with the venture capital company Wang Fei, Xu Lei directly asked the theater to schedule the film, and even did not release a formal movie promotional film before, but just uploaded the movie theme song "Tired and Tired" on the Penguin Music website.

Such a rough approach made Liu Xiaofei extremely embarrassed. Although he is confident in the quality of the movie, it is not promoted, and it is very difficult for the box office to be high.

Fortunately, Wang Fei is quite kind, because the adaptation of the TV series "Zhu Xian" is a free trial, he forcibly increased the film schedule to 17%.

If you get face, what the result is, you can only rely on the movie itself. After all, once the theater attendance rate is less than 4%, for 3 consecutive days, it will be ruthlessly arranged to forcibly reduce the screen and reduce the film scheduling rate. Until the final drawing.

On the contrary, the box office is hot, and relatively, the film scheduling rate will gradually increase without Wang Fei's greeting.

……

Several people in Xu Lei's studio went to inquire about the news because of the release of the movie, and he contacted a comprehensive recording studio in the magic capital through Liu Xiaofei's connections.

It is said that this used to be a home-sized professional record company, but unfortunately, due to the rapid explosion of online songs, it led to the loss of a lot of singers.

The company was in a recession, and everyone went their separate ways, except for a few musicians who still loved to create independently, starting small "free bands" here, and professional recording studios were left so that they could release their own albums.

However, the development of the outside world is too fast, and the elements of the songs they write do not usher in the taste of the current audience, and over time, the band has become an ornament.

This is Xu Lei's fourth day here, and after the run-in of several people, the speed of recording a song has become faster and faster.

According to the order released on the Penguin Music website, Xu Lei has recorded the songs "Bicycle Lovers", "You at the Same Table", "Childhood", "Dream Chaser" and the theme song of the movie "Crazy Stone" "Tired and Tired".

At the moment, the movie episode "I Love Your Dear Girl" has begun to be recorded.

After being busy for almost three hours, after leaving the recording studio, several people sat there, and Xiao Zinian, the lead singer of the "Phantom Feather Band", jokingly said: "Leizi, I heard that the movie "Crazy Stone" directed by you sold well at the box office!

"How can there be?" laughed, Xu Lei quipped: "Brother Xiao, you also know my original situation, it was purely forced. If it weren't for the strong support of the venture capital company Wang Fei and Wang, let alone the release, it would not be easy for the film to pass the review as soon as possible. As a director, there is also an element of luck. ”

"That's right!" Xiao Zinian smiled, "However, you are really good enough! The sound of music can resist such a big stage, it's amazing! If this is put on ordinary people, let alone rise again, it is difficult to mix in the entertainment industry." It's good that you have broken out of the encirclement in just a few months, and you have appeared in front of the public as an investor and director, which is rare, rare!"

"Luck, luck!" Xu Lei was embarrassed.

"It's good that we have this blessing!" Lin Sheng, the drummer of the Phantom Feather Band, sighed.

"Yes! It's the age of young people. Guitarist Li Tong also sighed.

"Ah Sheng, brother, what are you talking about?" the bass hand hurriedly spoke to the dragon to stop him.

"It's all because I'm sorry for everyone!" Hearing the words of several of them, Xiao Zinian said in a deep voice.

"Hey, Brother Nian, I didn't mean that!"

"Brother Nian, don't think about it!"

"Brother Nian......"

Looking at Xiao Zinian's expressions, the expressions of the others instantly became depressed, and suddenly Xu Lei had an impulse in his heart, and blurted out without thinking: "Otherwise, how about I invite everyone to my company to make music?"

"You ......" looked up at Xu Lei, Xiao Zinian had not yet spoken, and Lin Sheng and the others on the side shook their heads.

Although they have not appeared in the public eye for many years, they also boast that they have been famous for a long time, otherwise how can they master a lot of music styles? Not to mention their favorite rock music, pop music, and some jazz music.

Although you can't live a rich life by opening a recording studio, there is no shortage of food and clothing. In the past, there were many large record companies to solicit them, but after they went, they were all consuming their creative ability and team relationships, and several of them gave up.

Their band is different from those bands that are now famous in the outside world. Except for Xiao Zinian, who is free to work as a guitarist and drummer, other people's talents are at most part-time. And as the lead singer, the bassist Xiang Long has that voice and talent.

However, Xiang Long received funding from Xiao Zinian in his early years, and vowed five years ago that as long as the band was there, he would stick to his duties, and he usually hummed songs, which few people had heard.

In other words, if you want to join another company, then don't think about breaking up the whole band and expand the benefits as much as possible.

seemed to understand the fundamental reason for their refusal, Xu Lei waved his hand and smiled: "Brother Xiao, I am also a musician, although my current ability and knowledge are not as good as yours, I can be regarded as an original singer with a lot of works, right?"

Waiting for Xiao Zinian to nod, Xu Lei continued: "Don't worry! After you pass, I will only be responsible for writing the lyrics, of course, I will occasionally compose music, as for the rest, it is all up to you." When it's time to release a single or an album, let me know. What about the conditions?"

Maybe it was impulsive at first, but when he calmed down, Xu Lei felt that this idea couldn't be done? The singer couldn't go far, and he didn't have much energy. He just wants to be a good director, until he hone Qi Jian and Cao Bo.

However, those good songs in the system can't be wasted! Recruit other new singers, it's better to go straight and incorporate the Phantom Feather Band. They lack funds, lack publicity, and lack good music that can meet the tastes of the current audience, and the system has!

After this period of time, Xu Lei also roughly understood that a good song is a good song. It is impossible not to have such a thing as a market.

And why are the original songs of the Phantom Feather Band not favored? I am afraid that they only want to make their own independent appreciation of songs, and they often ignore it, and the more they go to the professional road, the more they will deviate from the market. Who makes the masses ordinary people! not those who are trained in professional music.

And if you want them to recognize the reality, the only way to give them a good song is to release it, once it is successful and inspired, and then think deeply, and it won't take long to understand.

Nirvana is so easy! Experience, experience, verify, feel.

Just when Xu Lei thought that they were unmoved, and only wanted to keep their "faith", Xiao Zinian's faint voice sounded: "Leizi, you can do what you say, why not join us in the past?" I hope that my decision will not be wrong!"

"I won't be wrong! I'm afraid that I will be happy!" Hearing this, Xu Lei laughed happily.
