The three of them sat in front of the music equipment and carefully enjoyed several songs and MVs in Gu Jie's new album.

In fact, every song, you have to produce, the cost can be said to be very high.

Of course, I can't explain it to you very clearly here, but I can only give you a brief understanding of the cost and process of making a song.

Take Gu Jie's album now, the lyrics and composer Gu Jie are not involved, which means that they have to pay for the songs.

No, most of the songs are still written by Lin Yi.

There are several songs included in the album that were written by others, although the money paid to them is definitely less than the money paid to Lin Yi, but the price is not cheap.

Gao Xiaosong himself said, I write a song for 300,000 yuan! And even if it is something else, a relatively unknown lyricist and songwriter, 58,000 yuan will still be released.

Now comes the main event, which is the cost of arrangement!

At this time, you will ask, what is so expensive about this little-known and inconspicuous arrangement?

In fact, the author tells you that it is not only expensive, but also scaryly expensive, even exceeding the cost of buying lyrics and songs.

To put it simply, what you think of as composition is not really composition.

When the composer writes a song, the main theme is when the vocals sing the lyrics.

Or rather, humming the tune of the song.

This matter can be said to have no threshold, as long as you have a little bit of music cells, you can hum a song regardless of whether you have studied music or not.

For example, you are walking on the road, and suddenly your brain twitches and you come up with a melody, do, do, so, so, la, la, so, (the humming melody of the world-famous song Little Star. You wrote it in the form of notes, then congratulations, you wrote a tune too.

But the arrangement is different, it needs to be carried out by professional personnel, and the professionals here, in simple terms, are arrangers, recording engineers, mixers, pianos, drums, violins, guitars, keyboardists, basses, violas, cellos....... And so on, which means that the instrumental accompaniment of the song is written, which is called arrangement.

Don't think that the instrumental accompaniment of a song sounds the same as the feeling of this song, take the guitar that Lin Yi can play as an example, just playing the accompaniment is different from the original key, but you can't play according to the tune of the song, you have to play according to the guitar notation of the song.

So now you know why there are piano tabs, guitar tabs, violin tabs, staves, so many notations?

In the future, don't talk about holding a piece and letting someone else play it.

As for the arrangement is more expensive, there is another reason, that is, the arrangement does not own the copyright of the song, it is a hammer deal, in other words, it is the same as renting a recording studio, after that, it has nothing to do with you, is it possible that I recorded this song with you, do you have the copyright? Obviously impossible!

At most, in the corner, leave a name of yours. If there is less money, no one wants to do it.

To sum up, unless you ask Gao Xiaosong for lyrics, Zhao Jiping for composition, and Taobao for arrangement, basically the arrangement is expensive.

The above is just the cost of the preparation, and the recording will start soon.

Every song has to go to the studio and record it, because there are some things that you can't just do in the studio.

Otherwise, why do you have to go to the recording studio, wouldn't it be better to just take a microphone and sing, because there are some things that have to go to the recording studio to be produced.

And a song is not recorded once or twice, and each song is recorded for at least one day.

Here is the cost of renting a recording studio, a good recording studio is expensive, it costs 810,000 a day, if there are 10 songs in the album, the cost of renting a recording studio alone will cost 180,000 red tickets.

If you want to hire a professional tuner, it is more expensive.

Next, I have to shoot the MV, because what Gu Jie wants to pursue is to give the audience incomparable enjoyment of music and visuals, and a choreographer is invited for each song, and Gu Jie needs to be taught little by little, and the fee charged is naturally expensive.

At least tour guides, photographers, editors, props masters, and scene masters, these are all needed, as far as Lin Yi knows, each of Gu Jie's songs, MV shooting requires more than 300,000 red tickets, which includes the cost of the dance teacher.

Finally, there is some post-production, and until the master tape is made, the cost is not so intimidating.

The mastering here is easy to take literally, that is, this is the mother, the first album!

is so simple to calculate, Gu Jie's album has so many songs, at least it cost Gu Jie 5 million red tickets.

Of course, if you want to make a shoddy album with no quality at all, if you don't make a MV, any simplicity will require at least 100,000 or more.

So some stars may have released a new album this year, and after a few years, suddenly a remake of that album came out.

You must not think that it is a scam, at most it is to earn a little money from you.

In this way, unless you have a strong pursuit of your own music, most people will not choose to remake those album songs anymore.

And if every song is remade, in fact, it is the result of burning money, and the hard work is not trivial.

Being a musician is not an easy task!

When Lin Yi finished appreciating it, he only felt that this money was really a good thing.

"I don't dare to comment on other songs, but "September", "The First Dream", "The Stars Shine", "The Girl on the Opposite Side", "Left Hand Right Hand" These songs I wrote to you, I still have the right to speak, the arrangement and production are very good, good, no problem!"

There is nothing wrong with Lin Yi saying this, after all, in that parallel world, these songs were written by Lin Yi.

Moreover, the songs that Lin Yi redeemed through the invincible pretending system come with complete understanding and dialysis functions, it can be said that he knows these songs well, and the original singers do not have Lin Yi's deep understanding of these songs, so Lin Yi definitely has the right to speak.

At present, Gu Jie's production has added Gu Jie's ideas, although it may not be as classic as the original song, but it is better to listen to!

Sometimes the original song is a classic, but the rearrangement will give it more flavor.

"Sister Gu, it's so simple for me to listen to the arranged version, you have done all the production of the song, even the MV has been filmed. If I hadn't had to wait until after the concert to release the album, I guess I would have been able to release a single right now, right?"
