Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Music Room Renovation Plan
After the filming of the movie ended, Li Dong is now idle again.
As the number of downloads of the songs posted by Li Dong online has skyrocketed, a sum of money is now credited to his account every month.
The most gratifying thing is that Hailan hurriedly received all the share of the single that year.
Li Dong took a look at it, and almost didn't euthanize him to death, there were more than one million, and this was the first one, and there would be funds to continue to arrive in the future.
Now Li Dong can be regarded as having a small amount of savings, and the funds in his account are nearly three million, even in a city like Kyoto, it can be called a well-off level.
Of course, this money can't be put in the bank, so he began to work with Li Guangnan to research the future development of the studio.
The first was to renovate the studio's recording studio.
At the beginning, Li Guangnan invested more than one million yuan for this recording studio, and almost bankrupted his family.
Fortunately, the empire's entertainment market has developed unprecedentedly in recent years, because his recording studio is more professional, so the business is quite good.
Not only did he recoup all the costs a few years ago, but he also made a lot of money for him.
Clients include music lovers, media advertisers, instrumentalists, professional singers, independent musicians, and more.
Even some small music companies have packaged the work of arranging and recording to Li Guangnan to do.
Li Guangnan does not hire long-term employees, but only when he receives some professional jobs, he will temporarily hire professional recording engineers, mixers and other technical personnel to assist him in completing more professional and complex work.
After more than ten years of accumulation, Li Guangnan is now very sensitive to timbre.
He can quickly capture the quality and character of the sound, and sometimes even help the musician to spot the unexpected.
So he is also well-known in Kyoto, and he has received invitations from many large companies, but he has declined them.
With the rapid development of various music software and hardware on the market, the equipment of Li Guangnan's recording studio has become more and more unable to keep up with the situation.
Most of the songs posted by Li Dong on the Internet are folk and folk rock with relatively simple soundtracks, so they can barely cope with it.
But if it is to cooperate with a professional music company in the future, it will be a bit dwarfed.
Therefore, it is imperative to completely revamp the music production software and equipment in the recording studio.
In addition to the equipment renovation, the recording studio also had to be renovated.
In order to create the best possible sound field space, the studio is designed with a variety of issues in mind.
This includes the background noise of the recording studio, the proportion of indoor size, the size of the area, the anti-electromagnetic interference, etc., which are the absolute factors and details that determine the quality of the sound field space, which also determines the music quality of the recording studio.
Therefore, the renovation of the recording studio requires the most professional acoustic decoration design team to redesign the recording studio, so that the recording studio can achieve near-perfection and precision in terms of acoustic structure and functional settings.
The investment in the renovation of the recording studio is even much higher than that of the music equipment.
Fortunately, the foundation of the music room is good, at least the process of renovation will be relatively easy, but it will definitely invest a lot of money.
Even if it can't be compared with the large-scale high-end recording studios of entertainment companies, it must at least reach a certain level of professionalism and meet the requirements of a large number of small and medium-sized music companies.
After Li Dong and Li Guangnan's preliminary budget, the budget for the entire renovation needs more than five million.
No matter how small the studio is, it can be regarded as a career, and I am afraid that in the next few years, Li Dong will still point to this music studio.
So for Li Dong, no matter how much investment he makes in the music studio, it is worth it.
In the future studio, Li Dong is mainly responsible for creation, which is actually copying those classic songs from his previous life.
And he also has to work with Li Guangnan on the arrangement of the song, which is mainly further improved on the basis of various versions in his previous life.
Li Guangnan's main job is to be responsible for recording, mixing and other technical work.
Recording is the framework, which is of course very important, but mixing is a very detail-oriented job.
He can correct the details of each track in the recording, so that the individual parts can achieve the best results
A bad mixer can ruin a good recording, and a good mixer can do the best possible on a bad recording.
Li Guangnan has been working in this industry for so many years, and he can handle recording and mixing, and his skills are very deep.
The investment ratio of Dongzi Studio, Li Dong accounts for 70%, and Li Guangnan accounts for 30%.
Because Li Guangnan invested in the recording studio, Li Dong originally proposed to share half with Li Guangnan.
But Li Guangnan disagreed, this studio was all dependent on Li Dong's creations to maintain, so Lao Li thought that Li Dong must take the lion's lead.
Now it involves the investment of the studio, so Li Dong decided to take out all his savings, plus Li Guangnan's investment of more than one million, to completely renovate this recording studio.
The work of renovating the recording studio requires a lot of professionals in this area, and Li Guangnan specially contacted Ye Tong and asked her to find a very professional acoustic decoration designer.
It was this designer who designed the design of several large recording studios in Kyoto, and he was considered the most professional and outstanding master of acoustic decoration design in the empire.
Of course, his asking price is also the most expensive.
Not only that, but he and his team spent two days in the studio and began the design work.
As a result, a few days later, Li Dong's original budget of more than 5 million yuan was not enough at all, at least more than 10 million yuan was needed.
This is only a preliminary budget plan, and according to this design scheme, the budget for many equipment will also be significantly increased.
The final budget may exceed 20 million, which is indeed a bit reluctant for Li Dong.
But the other party is worthy of being a master in this area, and his design plan is too tempting, which makes Li Dong entangled.
The design of the family is not a simple recording studio renovation at all, but the overall planning and design of the music studio.
The first is to expand the area of the recording studio, and Li Guangnan's recording studio leases an overall courtyard.
At the beginning, due to limited funds, Li Guangnan only used a small part, so most of the courtyard was idle.
The latest design scheme is to make use of the entire courtyard and make it a professional music studio.
The design of the music studio is very beautiful, and it is divided into several functional areas such as recording area, leisure area and work area.
In particular, the acoustic mechanism of the recording area is very professionally designed, whether it is the floor, the roof, or the walls, the acoustic structure is the best.
The requirements for sound are almost harsh, which greatly guarantees the quality of sound and music.
The new recording area will have three recording studios, with a central hall for classical symphonies, film scores, and dialogue.
There is one on each side, one for dance pop and the other for rock jazz.
In addition to the central recording area, the rest of the courtyard is the work area of the music studio.
The rest of the place has been turned into a recreation area, and after some reasonable design and planning, the environment is very good.
If some big-name celebrities come here, singers, agents, bands, assistants and a large number of other entourages can live here directly.
If these places are transformed into catering services in the future, if they are operated well, they will be very profitable in the future.
If the recording studio is renovated according to this design plan, the completed Dongzi Studio will have many functions such as integration, design, arrangement, and positioning of the work.
Coupled with the world's most advanced professional digital, recording equipment, production equipment and the latest sound sampling technology, the studio's style has been raised by a few notches.
The studio has a high standard and can work with a wide range of independent musicians and small and medium-sized music companies, as well as singers from some large companies and even super companies.
Don't look at the recording studios of those big companies are very professional and high-end, but there are also many singers in these companies, and they are always facing the situation of more monks and less porridge.
In order to speed up the production progress of the album and ensure the quality of the music, many first-tier and second-tier singers often rent some private recording studios in Kyoto to record songs.
If the transformation is carried out according to this design scheme, the studio
Li Dong and Li Guangnan sat there looking at the renderings of the design plan, all of them with tangled faces.
"Paralyzed, don't care about ......"
Li Guangnan slapped the table violently.
"Dongzi, this design plan is so good, we have to build this recording studio even if we smash the pot and sell iron. This is the future career of our brothers, and no matter how much money you invest, it is worth it. ”
Li Dong said with a bitter face: "Big brother, I know this plan is good, but we don't have any money." ”
Li Guangnan said ruthlessly: "I still have some savings, but I can't do it, so I will mortgage that ancestral house to the bank, how can I make up millions together." ”
Li Dong smiled bitterly in his heart, then it was 10 million.
He thought for a moment and said, "If we use this recording studio as collateral, can we borrow a few million?"
"Don't you say I really haven't remembered that this recording studio itself can also be used as an asset to lend some money to the bank, but it is estimated that it will not be too much, at most three or five million. ”
After listening to Li Guangnan's words, Li Dong was also moved.
The studio has just collaborated with Shinwa, and he is confident that the album will definitely do well.
After the release of this album, the renovation of the music studio is basically over.
If the album becomes popular in the market, it is bound to be that many small and medium-sized companies will choose to cooperate with the studio.
Moreover, after the transformation of the studio, it will inevitably be able to undertake more business, and even arrange the creation, arrangement and post-production of the album, so that the studio's profits will definitely be very considerable.
