Teahouse.

It's still the place where I met Tao Yanqing last time.

However, this time, in addition to Li Zhifan, Burnett and Tao Yanqing, there is also a middle-aged man, who is a vice president of Lianjin Bank, named Jia Qing.

Lianjin Bank, a state-owned bank invested in radio and television, was solely responsible for investing in Burnett's studio.

"Mr. Burnnett, the investment in your studio, we will complete through the bank's branch in New York, the initial investment plan is 5 million US dollars, the subsequent emergence of new investors, or you want to make additional investment, etc., all issues involving dilution of shares, the management of the New York branch will be responsible for talking to you. ”

Jia Qing talked eloquently and directly threw out an amount of money that surprised and dumbfounded Bernett.

5 million!

Bernett thought it would be just a small investment, but this amount of money is completely enough to buy a small game company in North America, and with his own familiarity with the field of game production, at this price, he can build a strong production team.

Of course, all this is just a thought for Bernet at the moment.

However, he has money and confidence, and he is still very confident in what he just envisioned.

“OK！OK！”

Bernett nodded repeatedly, "I'm very happy to have such a day, I have even seen our future, the investment of 5 million is not a small amount for me, compared to the amount I expected before, then plus the cost of my original plan, we can have a very good production team, I promise!

Jia Qing said with a smile: "This is the first time my bank has invested in a studio, and it is the first time to invest in the game field, but we believe that the gold content of the game market in the future will be the top five in the world, and it may even be out of the scope of the entertainment industry.

"I've seen a lot of game companies, and I hope we're one of the miracles of a game that goes from being a small studio to one of the best in the world," Bernett said. In addition, the Chinese market has always been a market that foreign game companies want to enter, so it was really a privilege for me to be able to work with the Chinese side to develop a game. ”

Within a few days of coming, Bernett also learned to be tactful, and began to tout after a few words.

……

In terms of games, Li Zhifan gave full authority to Bernett and Chen Cheng, and he only exists as a game architect, just have a conference call, and then the game officially enters the development stage, Li Zhifan will also participate in providing ideas, but it is still Bernett who is in charge.

In the gaming industry, there's a saying that's particularly good.

As an investor, if you want to participate with full authority, don't hire a producer, the premise is that you have to know how to do it, but if you don't know how to do it, don't point fingers at the producer, because some designs can't be done at all, and even the most basic optimization can't be completed in the later stage.

After breaking away from the game preparation, Li Zhifan continued to return to his old profession of touring.

Guangzhou, Tianhe Stadium.

This is the second scene of Li Zhifan's encore in the second round.

Half of the 33 tours that were unveiled last year were completed, and the second round of additional performances did not start after the first round, but in the middle of the first round, so the second round of ticket sales was also a month ago at the earliest.

After dozens of tours, Li Zhifan has become completely accustomed to the state when performing on stage, and it is the influence of these states that makes him suddenly feel what a star is.

That is the spotlight package, surrounded by thousands of people, the sound of the tide shouting, the sea of fluorescent lights.

Every time I walk on the stage of a concert and see everything on and off the stage, the state of "I am the protagonist tonight" will arise spontaneously.

Since he has come to Guangzhou, a Cantonese-speaking area, Li Zhifan naturally wants to sing a few Cantonese songs.

"Seven Friends" is the Cantonese song he has ever published, but it is also the only one.

In addition, he also covered several Cantonese golden songs that exist in this world, which are classics in the 80s and 90s of the last century.

Of course, in fact, from Li Zhifan's personal point of view, these so-called old song classics were also popular saliva songs back then, and they are no different from those saliva songs on the pop charts now, but after a long time, they have become classics, aren't they?

And the reason why these songs will become classics is another important reason, that is, the songs sung by many singers now are basically the same as these old songs, from melody to lyrics, you can find the corresponding template when you listen to it.

There are always a few sentences about love, twenty or thirty years ago I wrote love song lyrics like this, and I still write love song lyrics like this, not even as good as twenty or thirty years ago, more straightforward than it.

As soon as I came up today, the opening song was "Seven Friends", and then after singing several songs such as "When You", "On the Shore of Lake Baikal", and "Still Love", Li Zhifan invited a guest.

Li Jianqing, a king from Xiangjiang who debuted in the 80s and a veteran singer.

Li Jianqing's scene has always been known for its stability, even at his current age, he still has to hold hundreds of concerts every year, and even in the same province, the provincial capital and two prefecture-level cities add up to three concerts.

Li Jianqing's strong singing skills can support any song, and the current popular rap and R&B genres, he can also adapt them into his own style and sing them, which is called strength.

In his concerts, he has sung Li Zhifan's songs many times, folk, rock, pop, rap, R&B...... have all challenged, and they are all Li Zhifan's works.

invited him as a guest today, Li Zhifan naturally wanted to ask carefully.

After everyone's welcome applause, Li Zhifan asked Li Jianqing: "Brother Jianqing, the audience who listens to your concert knows that you often adapt and sing my songs, and as long as it is the style I have tried, you have also tried it, but what is helpless is that you have adapted it to your own pop style, in addition to rapping, what can you chant R&B, rock, folk...... It's gone, what's going on?"

"Hahaha!"

Li Jianqing said with a smile, "I like to sing your songs, your songs are very well written, in fact, singers live in this life, it is really rare to find bosom friends, good songs are hard to find, I used to only cover girls' songs, I think this kind of cover is difficult and challenging, but since listening to your songs, I began to cover your works, even the works of some young singers, I found that what I should challenge is my own heart, one is a work that hits my heart, and the other is a work that makes me want to find my youth." ”

"Well, that's great!"

Li Zhifan applauded himself and said, "At that moment, we got off the stage and discussed the issue of music copyright." ”

"Huh?"

Li Jianqing was surprised, "I have all paid the bill!"

"No, no, no!"

Li Zhifan waved his hand and said, "I decided to authorize all my songs to you to sing, what do you think?"

"Huh!?"

Li Jianqing was even more surprised, he didn't understand what Li Zhifan was thinking, and subconsciously blurted out, "Really?"

"Really!"

Li Zhifan said, "But it's not free! You make money and share me, but you don't need to report it in the future, listen to Miss Wu from my company's copyright department, there are already more than 20 contracts signed with you, just sign one at a time and authorize all of them." ”

"Great!"

Li Jianqing suddenly looked like an old child, but then he asked Li Zhifan, "What about the song we sang together today?"

"This is also included!"

Li Zhifan said, but after speaking, he subconsciously covered his mouth and hurriedly said, "Brother Jianqing, I haven't sold it yet, you have revealed it." ”

The audience didn't hear it at first, but after Li Zhifan said this, and then recalled what Li Jianqing said just now, they all understood it all at once, and screamed.

If it's just two people singing a song together, there must be no copyright or not.

But since it comes to this, it must be a new song!

Because the copyright of the chorus does not belong to the two singers, but to the inviter, that is, Li Zhifan, if the invited party Li Jianqing wants to sing solo or sing with others in the future, he also has to apply for copyright.

The audience's curiosity was instantly opened, cheering and screaming, whistling, and applauding enthusiastically, all looking forward to the next song.

"Okay! The following song is indeed a new song!"

Li Zhifan smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, I also designed a routine, and I don't need it now, so I'll just explain it directly! This song is called "Thousands of Miles Away", because of special reasons, Brother Jian Qingge was only invited once, so today's new song Live is different from before, there is only such a chance to record, I hope we can both sing well and make no mistakes, and I also hope that the audience can restrain their emotions and ensure that this recording is a complete success!"

"Good !!"

The audience below spoke in unison.

Li Jianqing is also very excited, although he has held concerts for half his life, and there are many classic Live songs, but they basically appear by chance, and they are not deliberately designed, but they inadvertently open up the second pulse of Ren Du and exert a strong live singing, which can be called Live classics.

And he never thought of recording a live album, after all, in his inherent impression, the record should still be done well in the recording studio, recorded over and over again, to achieve the most perfect effect to present to the audience.

Li Zhifan's approach was something he didn't dare to think of before.

Amid the applause, the prelude to the music sounded.

In order to record the live scene of "A Thousand Miles Away", Li Zhifan invited a folk orchestra to record live with the accompaniment master tape that had been completed in the recording studio.

Taking advantage of the prelude, Li Zhifan walked onto the sky crane next to the stage, and then moved to the top of the audience in mid-air.

And Li Jianqing still stood on the stage and did not do anything.

"The eaves are like cliffs, the wind chimes are like the sea, I'm waiting for the swallow to return!"

"The time is arranged, play an accident, you quietly walk away!"

The first segment was sung by Li Zhifan.

Standing in mid-air, the sound field here is still relatively empty, and the quality of the recording effect, the recording location is particularly important, recording live music at the concert, the first thing to solve is the problem of the recording scene and recording environment.

Even if the recording is done by someone backstage, some of the noise from the audience below will still be recorded.

But the audience doesn't care about that, as long as it sounds good.

So when I heard Li Zhifan sing the first few sentences, I had already let go of my heart.

"The story is outside the city, the fog can't be dispersed, and the dialogue can't be seen clearly!"

"You can't hear it, the wind doesn't exist, it's me who is sighing!"

The second segment was sung by Li Zhifan.

His singing style is R&B style, every note or every lyric has a transposition, with Chinese-style tunes, the accompaniment of folk music, and this style of singing, as if returning to the time when Li Zhifan sang "Susan Said" on stage for the first time, that kind of non-conflicting and very harmonious, and very trendy feeling.

thought that Li Zhifan had finished singing the first two paragraphs, and it should be Li Jianqing who sang it!

It's a pity that it's not, Li Jianqing hasn't moved on the stage, and some viewers even found that the lights on the stage have dimmed, and Li Jianqing's figure can only see a general outline in the dark.

Pair it with the studio's completed accompaniment master tape for live recording.

Taking advantage of the prelude, Li Zhifan walked onto the sky crane next to the stage, and then moved to the top of the audience in mid-air.

And Li Jianqing still stood on the stage and did not do anything.

"The eaves are like cliffs, the wind chimes are like the sea, I'm waiting for the swallow to return!"
