"Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the task 'Superstar Cultivation Album Fengshen', the task completion conditions: the pre-sale of the album is not less than 300,000 copies, the monthly sales volume is not less than 600,000 copies, and the total sales volume shall not be less than 1 million. Quest rewards are based on completion. ”

Locke's album has not yet come to this task. Speaking of which, Locke is still very confident in this task, after all, the quality of his current album is not comparable to the previous one, let alone other singers.

If someone had released a film at the same time as Locke, it was estimated that they would have died a miserable death.

Tomorrow is the official start of album recording, and Locke has a feeling of excitement that if this album is done, his popularity will be further enhanced, which will make him a little bit more disadvantaged when facing the siege of actors.

Now that all the demos (sample records) of the album have been made, just waiting for Locke to go to the studio to record, and at the same time, the promotion of Locke's songs is about to begin, he will record the first wave of title songs first, and take them out to hit the charts first, which will be more conducive to the promotion of the album and the attention of the media.

But that's all for tomorrow. Locke now cares about his online game endorsements, and the system is always mysterious, no matter what endorsements he has, he won't let Locke know in advance, and this time is no exception.

Locke always wanted to know how the system persuaded the advertisers, the system was an impossible and unrealistic thing, and then he got used to the mystery of the system.

What was the most popular online game in China in 2006? Anyone who knows a little bit will tell you that it is "Fantasy Journey to the West", which is an online game that has been launched at the same time and has brought a lot of revenue to NetEase. And Locke, although he didn't play the game, still heard about it.

He is looking forward to whether he endorses this online game, so that he can earn more points and more fans. The system is the system, and it won't give Locke any hints, so Locke can only wait for Sister Zeng's notice to see which online game it is.

Tonight, Locke was a little insomnia, he couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning in bed, getting closer and closer to the superstar, but Locke's heart was getting more and more tired. He didn't know what he was fighting so hard for, and if he wanted to find happiness again, it was just an excuse.

Not for money, not for fame, for the fans cheering for him in front of the screen under the stage?He looked at the ceiling, his thoughts racing, "Maybe I fell in love with the feeling of standing on the stage and falling in love with the profession of actor." Thinking that there would be a recording tomorrow, Locke had to force himself not to think about these things, and he let the system hypnotize himself into a deep state of sleep.

The next day, in the recording studio, Locke, dressed casually, was discussing something with the recording engineer again, and then he nodded and put on his headphones.

Locke put on headphones and listened to the recorded demo, the song he will record today is "Kiss Too Realistic", although this is a high-quality song, but it looks a lot mediocre against the backdrop of other songs on Locke's album.

Speaking of which, Locke can be sure that this is definitely a song that is often used in KTV, because the lyrics are suitable for nightclubs and KTV, especially the singing skills are not demanding, and the sense of rhythm is obvious, so there will be good results in CRBT.

Using this song as the first wave of title songs announced, I believe it will still attract a lot of attention, after all, the real title song cannot be leaked in advance.

The recording engineer has just jumped to Huayi Brothers Music Company, called Ye Xiaojun. He was quite accomplished in recording, and at least Locke could feel his experience. Although Ye Xiaojun is not very old, he looks like he is only in his thirties, and his demeanor is a strange flower compared to other raunchy recording engineers.

Not surprisingly, all the recording work of this album was undertaken by Ye Xiaojun alone, which reflects the company's full trust in him. Naturally, Locke had no opinion, he felt that everything would have to wait until after the recording to be decided.

After listening to the mastering a few times, Locke felt that he could give it a try. After all, this song is not too difficult, and I have practiced it many times, I believe that there is no big problem, and small problems can only be changed while recording.

Entering the soundproof room with ease, Locke skillfully put on the headphones, then looked at the microphone, and tried the sound again. After everything was done, he made an OK gesture to Ye Xiaojun.

Ye Xiaojun said into the microphone in front of him: "Ready, then let's start recording for the first time." I'm not going to stop this recording, let's go through the whole thing first to see what needs to be rectified. Here we go!"

His voice also reached Locke's ears through the headphones, and Locke nodded, looking at the song sheet on the shelf in front of him, full of confidence.

The rhythm sounded, Locke smiled and nodded and stomped his feet along with the rhythm, "No matter what, I feel hypocritical, I have been with you for so long, you say that you are guilty, from the past to now, who am I, you flower butterfly~~~"

When he heard Locke open his mouth and sing the first sentence, Ye Xiaojun's eyes lit up first, then frowned tightly, bit his lip with his teeth, and stretched out his hand to press a red button, but after thinking about it, he shrank back.

Locke doesn't know Ye Xiaojun's psychology, although he is very engaged in singing, but he can also feel that he has not sung well in many places, and the transformation is very blunt. Especially in the rap place, it gives people an abrupt feeling, and there is a feeling of breathlessness, and the back part can't hear what is being said at all.

Ye Xiaojun couldn't help but shake his head, and then sighed. His pale face was full of contempt and helplessness. Locke inadvertently glanced at him, looked at his expression, and then continued to sing.

In any case, no matter how bad the singing is, you have to finish singing, and then slowly change it, this is Locke's idea.

Finally over, Locke put down his headphones and walked out. "How do you think you sing?" Ye Xiaojun tapped his fingers on the table, looking at Locke with fierce eyes.

Locke was not frightened, he knew that he didn't sing well, so he said very respectfully and humbly, "It's not good, it's bad singing." ”

Ye Xiaojun looked polite, but he was not small, he patted the table, "This is your so-called strength? I don't think it's as good as some singers who have just debuted, do you know how many mistakes you just made? I really don't know why I want to take over your recording, I should have given up if I knew I should have given up." ”

He is a hot-tempered person, and it doesn't matter who you are, you should scold anyway, and you will say anything unhappy in your heart, this kind of straightforward person is the person who really loves music and has strength.

Locke originally opened his mouth to defend himself, but after thinking about it, this is indeed his own fault, and it is indeed that he has not done a good job.

After scolding, Ye Xiaojun regained his calm face and said to Locke: "I'm sorry, I'm such a person." Let's talk about your singing. Both of them were workaholics, and such a song was discussed repeatedly, and after the discussion came out, Locke went in and continued to sing, and after singing, the two continued to discuss those issues.

There were only these two workaholics in the studio, they were both perfectionists, and they couldn't tolerate the slightest flaw in the song, so in the end, Locke sang it five times in a row because of a small problem until Ye Xiaojun was satisfied.

Locke had to admit that although Ye Xiaojun's temper was not very good, he did have real talent and learning, and he was able to notice some very small places and find them out for Locke to correct. Originally, Locke's singing skills were not orthodox, and the systematic training was not perfect, but now Ye Xiaojun is like a hammer, finding out the impurities on Locke's body one by one.

Locke's singing skills have made new progress under his strict requirements, you must know that Locke's singing skills only advanced not long ago, and now it is more stable, with the potential to sprint to the top.

"How long do you two have left, it's going to be dark!" Sister Zeng came in and saw that the recording studio was dark, and the two madmen were still working without sleep or food, he couldn't help but want to interrupt the two of them, after all, the body and throat are very important, and they can't withstand the destruction.

"Is it dark? I thought it was early!" Locke looked up at the window, then lowered his head and muttered something to Ye Xiaojun.

Sister Zeng felt that she really came to the right time at noon, otherwise these two might still be hungry. He said to Locke, "Take a break, your voice can't support such a high-intensity singing." And I have good news for you. After hearing Sister Zeng's words, Locke felt that his throat was hot and painful, and he felt a little uncomfortable talking and drinking. He snuggled up on the couch and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's the good news?"

Sister Zeng approached him, then took the mineral water in his hand and gave him a hot cup of throat tea. "I'll drink this in the future, it's recommended by my predecessors. Let me tell you the good news, do you know "Fantasy Journey to the West"?"

Locke nodded, of course he knew, but what he thought in his heart was: Is this my online game endorsement? He couldn't hold back his joy, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he looked quite happy.

Sister Zeng didn't pay attention to Locke's expression, but said to herself: "Aren't they really looking for a spokesperson? This is a great opportunity, you haven't endorsed online games yet, and now it's the hottest game right now, and the estimated price is not cheap, so you can make a lot of money. ”

When Locke heard from Sister Zeng that he was about to endorse "Fantasy Journey to the West", even if he had already guessed, he still couldn't suppress his feelings.

Speaking of "Fantasy Journey to the West", Assistant Jiang and Wang Yantao next to Locke both play this game, after all, the two can only rely on this to pass the time when they are bored on the set.

"Ahem. Ye Xiaojun coughed deliberately, focusing their attention on himself, "Do you still want to record?

Sister Zeng turned her head and stuck out her tongue, he stood up and waved his hand, "You continue, you continue." I'll come back to you later. He winked at Locke.

Seeing Sister Zeng know each other like this, Ye Xiaojun nodded with satisfaction, and said to Locke, who was sitting upright: "Okay, you basically have no problem now, but you should pay special attention when rapping, you are not Jay Chou, you should be clearer when you pronounce words." Well, let's try again. ”

Locke slapped his ass and stood up from the couch. He put down the teacup in his hand, took a deep breath, and walked inside to try again. The first few times he basically passed, but Ye Xiaojun, a perfectionist, always wanted to get better, and Locke was willing to go crazy with him.

Before singing, Locke added a skill to himself "eloquent", which was the first time he added skills to himself today, just to add the icing on the cake.

With the help of his skills, Locke successfully conquered Ye Xiaojun with a flawless performance. Completed the recording of the first song of his album. This is relatively fast, many celebrities spend more than a few days recording a song, of course, some only take an hour or two.

This varies from person to person, many celebrities have a good time when they practice in the singing studio, but when they have entered the recording studio, they have become chaotic and have the so-called studio phobia.

Not to mention that he is not tired of recording songs, Locke feels like he is about to fall apart. Especially for his throat, if he relies on regular maintenance, he will probably not be able to sing normally tomorrow, but Locke's system will help him return to normal, which is why he dares to work so hard. Other singers protect their voices more than anything else.

After having dinner with Sister Zeng and others, Liu Tian sent Locke back to his house. At the same time, Locke also received a notice that he didn't have to record the song tomorrow, because NetEasy was urging him to hurry up and finish the shooting of the commercial and promotional photos.

For some reason, Locke's endorsement became so urgent, generally speaking, it was necessary to discuss the endorsement fee or something, and NetEasy directly took out a million endorsement fee, and Huayi Brothers immediately decided.

Locke will not refuse, a seven-figure endorsement is a reflection of his popularity and value, at a critical moment, the value has become so high, which he could never have imagined.

Now how many people in the mainland can win the seven-figure endorsement fee? Faye Wong? What else? Does Zhou Xun have it? Does anyone else have it? If this is exposed, it is estimated that it will cause a sensation. In the second year of his debut, he won a million-level endorsement, and there should be no other branches, right?
