Chapter 8 Business Door-to-door
"Oh, then what did you write?" Li Haoyang was surprised, his mind was full of inspiration? Could it be that this kid had experience in making songs before? Could it be that he has the same talent for writing songs as I do? Thinking of this, Li Haoyang began to look at Han Chengxian.
Han Chengxian thought about it, he is not familiar with the Xinshadong Tiger, judging from the previous shows, the Xinshadong Tiger has not read a book for a few years, and he attaches great importance to money, and he seems to be a scheming person, but he is also very funny and very approachable, although he can't easily show him his own things, but he can look at his character, so he took out the score he wrote from his bag, took out the score of "Up & Down" and said:" Please take a look, the song I wrote, I was playing the piano at the time, and suddenly I had an inspiration, and I composed the song in half an hour, and most of the lyrics were filled in, and I named it "Up & Down", and my idea was to make this song by combining saxophone and catchy HOOK, but I didn't know how to make it, but I felt that this song was made and could be used as a comeback song for EXID's next album, mainly because it was very toxic. β
Li Haoyang took the score and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and even picked up the instrument next to him and played it, An Xiyan was also very curious to follow and listen to the song, and finally Li Haoyang put down the instrument and said: "Child, are you willing to learn to make music with me?" I think you are very talented, if this song is produced, it will definitely be popular." β
Like the brave brothers, the Xinshadong Tiger invites the song to see if the other party is sincere and ready, because the song is sung for people, and the person who wants to sing is not in a good mood and is not ready, so it is better not to give them the song.
It's the same with holding a training class, Xinshadong Tiger sees that Han Chengxian is here with full sincerity, he is not here to play, he has music scores, he is obviously here to learn, and he has high talent, so he has the idea of wanting to be accepted as a disciple.
"Of course I do, that's what I'm here for. Han Chengxian knew that there was a play, so he quickly nodded happily, and An Xiyan next to him was shocked, he didn't expect this boy who looked beautiful to be appreciated by the teacher.
"Alright, Hanixi, you go back today and tell the other four to always be ready to return, and when we finish producing this song, we will start planning your return. "The tiger in Xinshadong saw that there was nothing to do with An Xiyan here, and he still wanted to discuss the song with Han Chengxian, so he asked An Xiyan to go back first, of course, An Xiyan was also interested, and wanted to go back and tell his sisters about it quickly.
"After the production of your song, you will go to the Production Rights Association to register, copyright is very important in our industry, and the judgment of the relationship between seniors and seniors is based on the year of registration with the Production Rights Association, not necessarily the first to debut is the senior. Xinshadong Tiger said with a smile on his face, there was no expression at first, but now the smiling face is open to make Han Chengxian feel that he can be close to this person.
"Then teacher, how much does it cost to study here?" After getting into the main topic, Han Chengxian asked, and the smile on the face of the Xinshadong Tiger became even stronger when he heard about the money.
"Isn't it very clear on the website, 70,000 yuan per hour? I will give you a bank card number, just enter it, and indicate that it is the training fee. Xinshadong Tiger is very direct, which makes Han Chengxian very satisfied, he can only feel at ease when he collects tuition, and he will feel that there is a problem if he does not charge tuition, but Han Chengxian still can't figure it out, Xinshadong Tiger is rich, and there are a lot of royalties a year, why do you want to hold a training class? So he asked, Xinshadong Tiger suddenly put away his smile when he heard this, put down the score and sat down, Han Chengxian saw that something big seemed to have happened, and immediately sat down.
"I don't run the training course for money at all. Listening to the righteous and awe-inspiring statement of the tiger in Xinshadong, Han Chengxian showed an expression of disbelief, not for money, he was so happy when he heard about the tuition, who is not for money now, some people have done a lot of excessive things for money, even saints can't resist the temptation of money.
Looking at Han Chengxian's expression, the new sand cave tiger didn't react, looked at the music score and said: " I actually want to give back to the society, sometimes you have to be like this, when I was a child, my academic performance was very poor, I didn't finish high school and came to Seoul to make music, but at that time my parents cut off my financial resources, so I worked everywhere, worked as a waiter, worked as a DJ, met a lot of people, they were very selfless to help me, promoted me, and later I majored in music production and got a lot of help, so my dream can come true, the society has not abandoned me, it has helped me, I have to reciprocate, of course, I also want to find a successor, with me to promote Korean music to the world, so that the world can hear our musicγ β
Han Chengxian was immediately solemn when he heard this, judging from his expression of focusing on telling the story, it was true, and he instantly felt very awesome, just working part-time is very respectable, many awesome people used to work part-time, and they only gained experience and success by doing all kinds of work, and the new sand cave tiger also knows how to repay the society, which is even more admirable, but the first time we meet, I still can't fully believe it, let's get along with him again.
"Chengxian Xi, allow me to call you that, the people who came here before were not ready, and they didn't have the mentality of being a producer, they didn't have any sincerity, they just came here to learn things, but you are different, you not only have the talent, you wrote this song, but you are ready to make songs, I am very satisfied with this, and I also want to make friends with you, I am the tiger of Xinshadong, and I am born Li Haoyang. Han Chengxian saw things to this point and understood the purpose of the teacher, like this kind of poor learner, unrestrained, making friends are very righteous and bold, so Han Chengxian didn't talk nonsense, got up and introduced himself again: "Teacher, my name is Han Chengxian, just like you, my academic performance has been countdown, although my mother wants me to be a doctor, but I want to be a music producer." β
"Well, it's good to have a dream, you can only succeed if you persevere, you are very similar to me, you have bad grades but you have a heart to be a music producer, and you write songs very quickly, you can write on the spot, plus your beautiful man's style, you may be more popular than me." Xinshadong Tiger joked, but also asked suspiciously: "But Seunghyun xi, you debuted as a music producer, don't you have any other name? Go back and think about one, idols have stage names, writers and pen names." β
Han Chengxian really didn't think of this, and it was the most troublesome to choose a name or something, so he nodded and said, "I'll just go back and think about this for myself, then teacher, do you have anything to pay attention to as a music producer?"
"Where to notice? In fact, there is not much, but it is very tiring, the music producer is not finished writing the song to the agency, because the song is produced by us, we know the feelings and concepts expressed in the song, so sometimes we also participate in the planning, including the selection of choreographed costumes, etc., and always pay attention to the music list, because this is very important, because the ranking is high, there is the next chance to cooperate, and even the idol team has to follow, I used to be a producer of 4minute and Beast, I used to follow from the event to the end, and I couldn't relax for a moment, being a producer is not so simpleγ β
"And sometimes you have to arrange the music according to the choreography, like Beast's "Fiction", I changed the chorus arrangement after watching the choreography of the chorus. "The tiger of Xinshadong gave Han Chengxian a science popularization, but Han Chengxian was happy in his heart, and followed the whole process?
Looking at Han Chengxian's lewd smile, Xinshadong Tiger knew what he was thinking, smiled and knocked on the table and said, "What do you think? Do you think that something can happen if you write a song for a female idol and follow the whole process?" The agents are all there. β
Han Chengxian touched his head in embarrassment, he was a little embarrassed to be seen through, and the tiger in Xinshadong didn't care, seeing that Han Chengxian was not very old, it was when he was restless in adolescence, and it was normal to have this kind of thought.
"Okay, let's start arranging, because you've already finished composing music, the original course was 7 lessons, so let's shorten it to 6 lessons, I said on the website that I learned to make songs in two months, in fact, I only have time on weekends, not much to say, you said you want to integrate the saxophone, then start here. "Xinshadong Tiger took Han Seung-hyun to the studio, which had all kinds of music equipment, sat in front of the computer, and opened the music production software.
"Teacher, let's start planning EXID's next album, and I think this song is okay. Han Chengxian's words Xinshadong Tiger agreed, thought carefully about EXID's style, and then took out a pen and began to mark chords on the score.
"Usually customers ask us to make songs, first of all, the key and tempo of the song, as well as the style concept, etc., but there are many things that you need to collect from the customer, such as which instruments the customer will ask for, and even you have to know the singer, so that you can make a song that matches the singer, and then mark the chords and intro like I do now. The head of what the tiger said in Xinshadong was the Tao, and Han Chengxian even took a pen and paper to write down the key points.
Then I opened the music production software and recorded the melody, so that the key of the song was basically determined. The new sand cave tiger skillfully began to operate, and explained in detail about the use of software, so that Han Chengxian benefited a lot, now the plagiarized song plus the production is too stable, Han Chengxian showed a confident smile on his face, and even began to use the software himself, these new sand cave tigers in his eyes, he didn't expect this boy who looked very young to be so talented, and he was very happy, like those with low talent, they had to talk many times before they understood, which shows how important talent is.
"Buzzing ......" After a long time, after the Xinshadong Tiger taught Han Chengxian the basic arrangement, the mobile phone on the table suddenly began to vibrate, and the Xinshadong Tiger stood up and said after looking at the caller ID: "You continue to compose, I'll answer the phone, it is estimated that someone has come to invite another song." Xinshadong Tiger's mobile phone kept ringing, but Han Chengxian didn't pay attention to it at all, just immersed in the arrangement and couldn't extricate himself, he is now more and more interested in the arrangement, and feels that the arrangement is becoming more and more interesting, he just wants to make the song, after all, it is his first attempt.
After a while, the tiger in Xinshadong answered the phone and looked at Han Chengxian in front of him in front of the door, and suddenly remembered that he was such a confident person before, he believed in Han Chengxian's strength, and he could use everything he explained skillfully immediately, and maybe there would be a miracle.
"Seunghyun Xi?" The Xinsha Cave Tiger entered the room, and Han Seunghyun stood up and said, "Teacher, although we met for the first time, I learned a lot from you, you can just call me Seunghyun." β
Han Chengxian thinks that the Xinshadong Tiger is good, he can explain it in detail when he teaches himself, and he doesn't lose any temper, he is easy to get along with, and he thinks that he can have a closer relationship with him, but when it comes to interests, Han Chengxian still can't trust him.
The Xinsha Cave Tiger also nodded with a smile and said, " Okay, Chengxian, I feel very pleased to see that you are proficient in using the software, and it also proves that your talent is indeed high, so I will give you a homework temporarily, just now the ACUBE planning department and the FNC planning department called me, asking me to be responsible for the main production of APINK and AOA's next album, but I have a brokerage company, and I am also making albums specifically for others, and I have a contract, and I can't help others make them, so it's better for you to go, just compose the music and fill in the lyrics, and the completion of the composition and lyrics is considered to be up to standard, after all, you have a score when you come today, which means that you still have some strength in composing music, and it would be better if you could arrange and complete it, specific songs ask them to send me an email later, do you have the confidence to do this?"
