Chapter Twenty-Three: The Album Is Complete
Just when Lin Xiyan's father and son were secretly planning, Yang Yu sat weakly on the sofa in the recording studio, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and just now, he finally finished recording all the songs in the album.
After the singing is recorded, he doesn't need to worry about the rest of the album production, and the experienced Sun Huashu will handle everything.
However, this does not mean that Yang Yu will be fine next, a week later, the album will be pre-sold, and Yang Yu will record two MVs as promotion.
One of them is the single "Stubborn" that has been released, and the other is "Glory" sung by Yang Yu in "The Strongest Voice in China" 12 into 10, of which "Stubborn" is to stimulate single sales, and "Glory" is to promote the album.
It should be "Glory" will be the title of this album, and as for why "Glory" was chosen, it is not to use "Glory" as the title song.
In fact, every song on Yang Yu's album is very good, and it doesn't matter which song is the title song.
After the discussion of Jin Yanqiu, Sun Huashu, and the marketing department of Galaxy Records, the concept of the title song was diluted in the promotion of Yang Yu's album.
They wanted to create a good feeling for listeners, and chose "Glory" as the promotional song, which not only better attracted fans, but also more catered to the title of the album.
The album will go on sale two weeks later, and these two MVs will be given as a giveaway exclusive to the pre-sale version of the album, so for Yang Yu, the time is quite short.
In fact, in the original plan, there was only a budget for one MV, and the reason why it was changed to two was because the sales of Yang Yu's single were too dazzling, and they temporarily raised it.
And Liu Xu, the person in charge of Galaxy Records, also said that if the album sales are as good as the singles, he will consider continuing to shoot MVs for promotion.
Yang Yu, who had finished recording all the songs, was sitting on the sofa in the control room of the recording studio, taking out an iPhone3GS, ready to post a Weibo.
Yang Yu's mobile phone was given to him by Jin Yanqiu to celebrate the hot sale of the single, and now he has no money to buy this kind of mobile phone of more than 6,000 except for a little living expenses, don't look at Yang Yu's single selling well, but not a penny has reached him.
Although Galaxy Records and Yang Yu's Galaxy Art Management Company are brother units, the issuance of records and signing contracts follow a formal process.
As a newcomer, even if Yang Yu writes lyrics, composes music and sings, the contract also stipulates that he can only participate in profit distribution if the physical album and the digital album sell more than 100,000 copies.
However, Yang Yu is not very worried about whether his album sales can reach this number, according to the popularity of his current singles, it should not be difficult to have 100,000 copies online and offline, but if you want to share the money, you still need to wait for the album to be released.
As for how much Yang Yu can share later, according to the contract, Yang Yu participated in the lyrics, composition, arrangement and singing in the production of the album, even if these are taken into account, Galaxy Records only promised that Yang Yu could get 15% of online sales, and Yang Yu could get less points for physical sales, so he could get 5%.
This is still Jin Yanqiu's best efforts, Galaxy Records only gives the proportion for Yang Yu is own sake, and after this distribution, the brokerage company will also take a commission
Yang Yu understands that he is now a newcomer, and there is no room for money at all, so he can only accept it silently.
After all, in the production and sales of records, the company is responsible for all the costs of record production and publicity, and bears all the risks, so it is natural to take the lion's share, after all, it is necessary to take into account that the albums of ordinary newcomers account for the majority.
However, as soon as Yang Yu's single sales came out, everyone felt that he could not be estimated by ordinary newcomers.
But the contract has been signed, and Galaxy Records has agreed to increase the cost of album production, but if you want to increase the distribution ratio, it is basically impossible.
However, with this sales foundation, he will be able to get a more generous proportion of the profit distribution of the next album.
At this time, Yang Yu had already completed the release of Weibo, and also attached a headshot of him leaning on the sofa, although his face was a little haggard, but it did not affect his appearance at all.
Weibo content: The recording is finally complete, I am tired and don't want to move, I have to shoot the MV tomorrow, I really want to sleep lazy, ask for comfort.
As soon as this Weibo was issued, fans immediately poured up, and the number of forwarded comments kept refreshing, and the first person to reply was an acquaintance.
Cat in a long skirt: My Yang Yu is so hard, so distressed, I secretly hugged it while no one was around.
Yang Yu saw this Weibo and smiled slightly, he was too familiar with this cat in a long skirt, when he saw the draft, he often saw the message of this ID.
Later, he joined Galaxy Entertainment, and every time he posted a message on Weibo, this cat in a long skirt could always grab the first place, as if he was guarding under his Weibo every day.
And Yang Yu also knew that in his support club [Angel Wings], this Miss Cat was one of the founders, and in the face of such fans who liked him, Yang Yu naturally had to be treated specially.
So Yang Yu immediately replied to the fan's message, replied to him with a hugging expression, and wrote, thank you Miss Cat for your support.
Of course, under this Weibo, there are many other messages, some who care about him, some encourage him, some hope that he will release an album soon, and some seek attention.
Of course, it is indispensable to scold him, saying that he looks like a makeup, etc., in short, there are many people who are popular, and he doesn't think that he can make everyone like it.
Just when Yang Yu rushed back to the apartment to sleep after reading Weibo, in a house in a resettlement community on the outskirts of Yanjing, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl was scrolling through Weibo, and suddenly jumped up with a happy face.
"Wow, my Yang Yu replied to me and gave me the title, Miss Cat, I'm so happy! Hurry up and take a screenshot, and send it to Ye Zi and them later, so that they can envy it." ”
This girl with a figure of about 1.6 meters, a cute appearance, and a cartoon pajamas and Weibo is the cat in a long skirt.
The girl's name is Li Moer, she was just admitted to Yenching University of Foreign Languages in the college entrance examination this year, and the first time she saw Yang Yu on TV, she was deeply fascinated by Yang Yu's people and songs.
In the process of Yang Yu's fame, she posted on the post bar, voted for popularity, and voted for SMS for Yang Yu's promotion, and finally Yang Yu was eliminated, and she was moved by the song "Glory".
However, Yang Yu soon signed under the banner of Galaxy Music, and she was happy for Yang Yu again.
Yang Yu's fans gradually gained cohesion under the management of the company, and at this time, she and some fans who like Yang Yu established Yang Yu's first support club [Angel Wings].
When Yang Yu opened Weibo, she immediately paid attention to the news that Yang Yu's single was released, and she organized fans of the support club to start buying.
In short, Li Moer, like many fans who like Yang Yu, silently supports Yang Yu.
She will feel distressed for Yang Yu's hard work, and she will worry about Yang Yu's body, and it is the silent support of many fans that has led to Yang Yu's rapid rise.
The popularity of Yang Yu's single is not an accidental phenomenon, the accumulation of "The Strongest Voice in China" along the way was detonated by the publicity and marketing of Galaxy Entertainment, which caused everything now.
At six o'clock the next morning, before dawn, Yang Yu, who was asleep, heard someone opening his door, thinking that he was a thief, he didn't bother to put on clothes, so he rushed to the door.
As a result, it was very embarrassing that Yang Yu saw Ren Qing standing outside with the key, and the other party looked up and down when he found that he was only wearing **.
Then Ren Qing commented on him in a very flat tone: "The results of physical training are good, you can suggest to Sister Jin to reduce your physical training classes." ”
Faced with such a fierce woman, Yang Yu of course chose to get dressed immediately and sit in the living room with a shy face.
Ren Qing said helplessly: "Okay, don't pretend, don't forget that I live in the building next to me, I've seen it more than once, that baby-faced girl came to you at night, and recently a model broke the news in the tabloids, saying that she is your ex-girlfriend, so don't put on such a shy look like a playboy, it's too fake." ”
Yang Yu smiled and asked, "Does Sister Yan know?"
Ren Qing looked at Yang Yu with your stupid eyes and said, "What do you say?"
"Then Sister Yan didn't say anything?" Yang Yu asked cautiously.
"I want to know if you go and ask Sister Yan yourself, I'm not your agent, hurry up and go downstairs, and go to meet with the filming team." ”
At Ren Qing's urging, the two got into the business car waiting downstairs.
Since Yang Yu's single sales have been booming, the treatment has also improved a lot, at least when he goes out, the record company has specially arranged a nanny car and driver for him, and there is no need for Ren Qing to drive the agency's car to see him off.
Because he was in a hurry to record the album, Yang Yu did not participate in the preparation for the shooting of this MV at all, and it was all Jin Yanqiu and the record company coordinating the preparation.
In line with the intention that the fertilizer water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, the company handed over the MV shooting to the brother unit Galaxy Pictures, which is a film and television production company, and occasionally shoots MVs for brother units, so it has a lot of experience.
When the task of filming Yang Yu's MV was issued, Galaxy Pictures immediately selected a director named Xu Jinsong to be responsible for the shooting of this MV.
Xu Jinsong turned out to be the director of an advertising company, and he either shoots TV commercials or makes MVs for singers on weekdays, and shooting MVs is familiar to him.
However, as a director, there is no one who does not want to develop towards the film industry, and at the very least, he has to mix into the TV circle.
Xu Jinsong made a short film last year and wanted to try his luck at the Huaxia Golden Film Awards, but unfortunately, in the fiercely competitive Golden Film Awards, his short film was not even nominated.
However, a film selection judge admired Xu Jinsong's short film very much, so he suggested that Galaxy Entertainment sign Xu Jinsong and wanted to train him as a reserve force, after all, Xu Jinsong is only in his thirties, and he is considered a young man in the director world.
took over the job of this MV, in fact, Xu Jinsong was a little dissatisfied, in his opinion, if he made a MV, why did he come to Galaxy Entertainment?
However, the company also agreed, as long as he filmed this MV, he would consider giving him the opportunity to direct a TV series.
With this commitment, Xu Jinsong finally got a little energetic, and he and Jin Yanqiu and the record company began to plan the MV content.
So after Yang Yu and the MV crew gathered, Jin Yanqiu, who had already arrived first, handed over a few MV scripts to Yang Yu, because the MV was needed to stimulate the sales of the single, so this time the MV of "Stubborn" was filmed.
In the car driving to the filming location, Yang Yu read the content of the script and found that the MV of "Stubborn" turned out to be a story.
But unfortunately, in order to be in a hurry, the MV story part has already been filmed, and he only needs to describe the appearance of bye bye singing according to the script in a specific scene, and the post-production will edit the two shoots together.
