Chapter 85: An Original Lyric
……
One day in early September, Cao Yifang entered Director Wu Yu's room again at night, and this time he did not sing it live, because this song was too unsuitable for him, although it was played on a mobile phone, the effect was still very weird.
Kill the wolf.
Wu Yu listened to the one that was embarrassing and amazing.
It's not that Cao Fangfang sings badly, he has a wide vocal range and strong control over his voice, and if he doesn't do an actor, he can even consider professional dubbing, so even if he is poor in music, he won't fall too far.
The problem is that the song Kill the Wolf is very high, and he didn't deliberately lower the key, but because it was recorded in the room, the voice didn't dare to be released, and the effect must be very poor if he sang a high note with his voice.
And such an atmospheric song, he actually used a guitar accompaniment.
What is amazing is, of course, the tune and lyrics of this song.
is different from the previous song, this song Wu Yu immediately decided to use it as soon as he heard it, which is very in line with the theme of the drama Fairy Sword, full of sadness and a sense of fate.
So next, Cao Fangfang recommended Chi Momo......
After discussing with producer Gong Lishen, Wu Yu directly contacted Gong Lishen's agent, and at the same time took Cao Fangfang's two song samples for copyright registration, and Small World Media bought out the copyrights of these two songs.
Cao Fang has not hesitated, he is not a fool, he has done some research before, and has learned about the general process and price of musicians selling songs.
So my heart was already half cold.
The price was directly negotiated with him by Gong Lishen on the phone, and he wrote and composed both songs, so the final package price was sold for a total of 8,000.
This is even the sale of copyright, not just the right to use.
Cao Yifang also wants to learn from those talented people who made a fortune selling songs in novels, who would be disgusted with a lot of money? But after he really got to know it, he found that if he wanted to hold on to the copyright tightly, it was completely impossible to sell only the right to use it, at least no one in the mainland would pay attention to you, even if you were willing to sell the copyright, if it weren't for Wu Yu's relationship here, he wouldn't be able to sell these two songs.
It doesn't matter if the song is good or bad, it just can't be sold.
Take 10,000 steps back, if it is sold, it is still the copyright sold, and a newcomer like him outside the music circle can sell thousands of yuan at most, and he will die amazingly.
At the end of Gong Lishen's phone call, he also told him about the current situation of domestic musicians, basically only the top musicians in China can live by writing lyrics and music, and most of the rest are unable to make money from pure music, only performance is the last word.
Take out a song, a group of people knelt and licked to buy it at a high price, there used to be, but now there is none.
No matter how famous the creator is, he can't do it.
The copyright fee of 8,000 yuan is actually a high price in the industry.
Fortunately, Cao Fang doesn't care about this, he is not a musician, this money is against his will, it would be good to have it, at least he may be able to add some fame to him in the future.
The arrangement is entirely in charge of the music department of Small World, and they will find musicians at the right price to handle it.
The theme song of Killing the Wolf is set to be sung by Chi Momo, and the price of Xingqiong Media is very low, so the fairy sword crew can also accept it.
The producer has not yet decided who will sing the song "Light Chaser", and there are currently two plans, one is to find a well-known singer in the industry, and the other is to find an actor from the crew to sing it, as Wu Yu has always done in the traditional way.
Wu Yu said that there is no rush anyway, and it will be discussed after this is completed.
……
The temperature in September is sometimes cold and sometimes hot, fortunately, among the actors in the fairy sword crew, there is no more sick number, Ao Xiang has finished and gone home, several supporting roles have come and gone, and the filming progress has been steadily advancing, just yesterday, Xue Mengjiao's role has ended.
She is still waiting on the set, but there are basically no scenes that need to be refilmed, so she is swaying leisurely, just waiting for the final green screen shooting.
She sat there, her eyes swaying, and then she turned to Cao Fangfang on the side.
It's still an outdoor scene, it's the noon break at this time, Cao Fang watched Xie Yanting sitting on a small bench, holding a notebook and a pen, using the prop box as a writing desk, and working hard with a bitter face, so he went up and took a look: "What to write?"
Xie Yanting seems to be engaged in creation, Kavin, and is irritable with the end of the pen poking her head: "I'm writing songs......"
Cao Fang suddenly felt funny: "Let me see." ”
Xie Yanting is not as stingy as she was when she hid her mobile phone before, and she let go of her body generously at this time.
I saw a few lines written in the notebook.
[The music starts, half a world is displaced, the scorching wind is proud; in the snap of a finger, the dark shadow under the moon, the whole clan is destroyed......]
Cao Fang saw that she had only written a few lines, but the content was roughly guessed: "The one who wrote the Hokage, Uchiha Itachi, wrote and played?"
"No......" Xie Yanting frowned and said: "The online game I play will have exhibition activities during the eleventh holiday, call for songs in advance, let us write for the characters we like, and finally draw the three best songs, when the time comes, you can match the tunes, invite well-known singers to sing, and there will be bonuses." ”
"Cut ......" Cao Fangfang just sold two songs, and he was very disdainful of this: "How much money can you have." ”
"I don't remember, there are more than 10,000 people in the first place. Xie Yanting said casually.
Cao Fang froze for a moment, his eyes gradually appeared longing, and he looked down at the few lines: "Do you need help? ”
"Cut ......" Xie Yanting learned from him, and then took back the book: "You can still write lyrics?"
"Well......" Cao Fang joked, "I'm better at rap lyrics." ”
Xue Mengjiao's ears on the side moved, thoughtful.
"That's not going to work. Xie Yanting said angrily: "This time I asked to use the ancient style." ”
"What is the ancient style. Cao Fang bragged: "I can control the eight strands of text casually." ”
"Okay, don't brag. Xie Yanting looked down at the book again and began to think: "I'm going to start creating." ”
Underestimated?
My dignified boss, is it a salted fish who can only copy lyrics?
Cao Fang's ostentatious heart was blazing.
He hasn't created original lyrics, but people who are good enough at controlling words can't write lyrics when they don't have a tune and can play freely? Not to mention that it's just an online game activity!
Cao Fang stood there and didn't walk away, looked at it a few more times, thought for a moment, and then began to pretend to be ......
Uh, start a serious finger-pointing.
"You can't do the first two sentences, there are problems with the content and rhyme. ”
"I'll just change a few words in your format. ”
"His life is miserable, isn't it more appropriate to start with a memorial song in the first three words?"
"Displacement is better than alienation, one is forced, the other is active. ”
"The two words are too demonic, with hesitation, hesitation of walking alone. ”
I don't know the appropriateness, Xie Yanting's eyes are already extremely full, as if she has never known this Cao Gonggong.
"There is no format, you can write whatever you want, and if you choose the prize, I will give you all the prizes!"
"That's it. Cao Fang calmly took the notebook.
Xue Mengjiao, who was sitting not far away, seemed to have been inspired by some kind of inspiration.
She looked down at her phone.
That's the question she just asked on Baidu.
[Like someone, don't you want to fall in love, do you confess or not?]
[If you confess, what way is it more creative?!]
……
That night, Cao Fang spent a class writing the Uchiha Itachi's hymn, and then spent another twenty minutes polishing and revising.
The abridged version reads as follows;
The song is up, half a life is alienated, and the elegance is not obvious.
He once held a sword, and at a glance, the black flames under the moon were noisy.
There are many slanders in the world, so why not respect fate?
His eyes were silent and he looked north, hoping that his hometown would be safe.
There is no name, and the bones are buried with the soil.
The world scolds in vain.
……
The wax torch turned to ashes, and his eyes became blind.
Sick bones, this life is dignified.
Will this hustle and bustle......
One shoulder resistance.
After writing it, Cao Yifang didn't know music, but at least he had watched anime and was extremely satisfied with the rhythm and connotation of the word.
He soaked himself a bowl of Laotan sauerkraut beef noodles, intending to treat himself.
That's when there was a knock on the door.
