Chapter 007: God, Help Me
Sling!
Bitter!
Spare wheel!
Chen Shi stood up with bruises on his forehead, and stared at Chu Tian with round eyes.
In terms of momentum, Chu Tian was obviously invincible.
Chen Shi's reaction was unexpected by Chu Tian, and how could he be bluffed by the self-confidence of the two worlds, and his face was expressionless: "You calm down for a while, and if you feel the need to continue talking, continue to talk." ”
Chu Tian's words just now were not untargeted, nor were they eye-catching, but what he said after really studying Chen Shi, as for whether Chen Shi could accept it so directly....... with Chu Tian's judgment, after having such guidance, calm down and think about it, but if you are not stupid, even if you can't accept it, you can understand.
Well, Chu Tian obviously knew that Chen Shi was very good at talking, strictly speaking, for the sake of music, he was very good at talking, otherwise, he really wouldn't dare.
Well, it's a bully of an "honest man".
Of course, if Chen Shi left the studio in a rage, it would not be a bad thing, and if he couldn't accept the positioning given to him by Chu Tian, it would be better to leave early, so as not to waste each other's time.
In addition, Chen Shi is not like SUSTAR, after all, he is a famous star, if he can't bluff, there will definitely be a lot of things that make Chutian embarrassed and embarrassed during the recording process in the future.
The experience of his previous life told Chu Tian that some things could have been avoided as soon as possible.
As for the 500,000 production fee that has been given....... this is really a problem for Nima!
Chu Tian's heart weakened when he thought of this, and his momentum weakened, but no matter what, at this time, Chu Tian would not speak first if he was killed.
Whoever speaks first "loses".
Fortunately, this Chen Shi is not too difficult to deal with, Chu Tian really calmed down after saying what made him calm down, and quickly sat back down, and did not stare at Chu Tian again.
After about two minutes, Chen Shi suddenly stood up, didn't look at Chu Tian, and walked straight away.
However, instead of walking out of the studio, he went to the toilet, and when he came out again, the expression on his face was a little different, there were a little droplets of water, probably washing his face, and at the same time, he also put on a smile and said to Chu Tian: "Let's continue." ”
Chu Tianyan breathed a sigh of relief, stood up from his position, didn't say any more empty words, and directly took out the prepared demo and started to play.
【……
Heaven will bless me
Love will always come
I had everything in my dreams
But the reality is often the opposite
There are many men who love her
So what am I?
……..
God, help me
A handful of age
Not a single lover
Loneliness is pitiful
If you haven't loved
Life is black and white
God, help me
A person has been shaking for half a lifetime why
A man like me is dying of extinction
Where's she?
God will bless me
……】
This song is the most successful work of Chen Xiaochun's positioning in the original world, "God, save me", and since then, "ridiculous sadness" has really become his signature style.
In some ways, Chen Shi and Chen Xiaochun have similarities, for example, they are both singers who debuted but relied on film and television dramas to become popular, and there are a lot of similarities in their images, compared to Chen Xiaochun's handsomeness, Chen Shi has to pretend to be more or like to hold it, but no matter how he holds it, Chu Tian always feels that this Chen Shi has a bitter taste that can't be washed clean.
Coupled with his voice, Chu Tian immediately thought of this song and his positioning.
After playing the song, Chu Tian stopped the player and looked at Chen Shi.
Chen Shi frowned slightly: "It's over?"
Chu Tian didn't answer and asked, "What do you think of this one?"
Chen Shi still frowned: "The melody is pretty good, it's just that the lyrics ......."
"I think it's too pitiful and even wagging my tail and begging for mercy, right? That's right! This is the biggest difference between this song and the songs you sang in the past, and this is what I call positioning!" Chu Tian said seriously: "This song, if you sing it, it will be your stereotyped work, and it is also your transformation work!"
Chen Shi was silent for a moment: "I want to continue listening to other songs." ”
Chu Tian shook his head and said: "I know that you are now repulsed by this song or my positioning, since this is the case, then let's make a song first, and after we finish it, we will directly release the song and hand it over to the fans and the market to judge." The response was good, and we continue to work together. The response was not good, and we didn't waste each other's time. What do you think?"
This time, Chen Shi nodded quite happily, and then asked, "How long will it take to make this song?" If it's not enough, wait until my next BJ return. ”
"I've done the arrangement, the soundtrack can be done today, and if you're rehearsing well and the recording goes well, two days won't be a problem. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it, I'll stay here for the next two days, and I'll go back to the crew after the recording. ”
Chen Shi really has no choice, and now there are not many people who dare to write songs for him, let alone tailor-made for him like Chu Tian, which is hard to find. Although he was a little repulsed by the lyrics and style of the song, he could tell that it was a good song.
The most magical phrase in the world is "It's coming"-
It's all here, so let's record it!
"What's the situation?"
Chang Daxian and others arrived after half an hour, at this time Chen Shi had repeatedly listened to "God Save Me" several times, Chen Shi's family history was required to memorize a lot of things when he was a child, and he has always been an actor to memorize a lot of lines, although he is in his thirties, but his memory is quite good, and the lyrics and melody of the whole song are already familiar to him, and he can sing along completely. And sang more attentively and excitedly every time, Chang Daxian and others saw Chen Shi's exaggerated facial expression and bent body and half-squatting singing, which was called a heartbreak!
I really didn't dare to go up to say hello for a while, and I was a little dumbfounded.
"It's pretty thorough, I feel like this song has opened his seal!"
Chu Tian had also been watching from a distance, making it more comfortable for Chen Shi to stay alone, and when he saw Chang Daxian and the others coming, he signaled to the other side.
"Let him stay alone for a little longer. ”
Chu Tian probably said that he was going to make a single for Chen Shi next, Chang Daxian and the others were very surprised, they didn't expect Chu Tian to come up with another song, looking at Chen's addicted appearance, the quality of the song can be imagined.
"I've done a good job of arranging this song. Daxian, you and Brother Xue arrange the soundtrack, and I will arrange Chen Shi's rehearsal. ”
"What instruments do you need? That's it, okay, I'll arrange it right away." ”
“……..”
Chen Shi is a person with very strong executive ability, and after deciding that he would record this song "God Save Me" in the past two days, he didn't think about anything else, and he calmed down with his mind, and the degree of cooperation in the next rehearsal and recording process was very high.
Wang Jun called at seven or eight o'clock that night, asked if Chutian was still in the studio, hung up the phone, and appeared in the studio half an hour later.
"The company agreed to have you as the producer, but there were three conditions. First, the price of the lyrics and the production fee are the same as the previous song, without increasing or decreasing. The second is that this EP will add two more songs, which will be produced directly by the company. Wang Jun truthfully said the company's requirements, "Third, if the physical sales of this EP do not reach 10,000 copies or the online downloads do not exceed 100,000, you will not be able to participate in the record sharing as a producer, and you can only get the songwriter's part." ”
Wang Jun handed the contract that had been drawn up to Chu Tian, and Chu Tian took it and looked at it, which naturally mentioned the royalties that he could get if the EP sales reached the requirements.
Music royalties in this world are complex and detailed. Some royalties are fixed, for example, songwriters, no matter how the song is published or commercially performed or otherwise profitable, the lyrics and music will always receive a fixed 1.9% each. The producer's share is not fixed, and is usually negotiated between the producer and the record company, which is basically between 5% and 9%, but only for the sale of the album.
Arranging, recording, mixing, etc. are basically a one-time buyout to get money, and the producer also has a one-time buyout, which is treated on a case-by-case basis.
On this contract, if it reaches 10,000 entities or 100,000 online paid downloads, Chutian will get 5% of the producer's royalty share, which is the lowest treatment.
Chu Tian read it carefully and signed it.
Both worlds are in this line, and what should be familiar with this line is clear, and the right to speak never falls from the sky, nor can it be owned all at once, and it takes a long time to rely on the ability to fight.
It's already very good to be able to win the identity of the producer this time, and it is estimated that Wang Jun has to beg his grandfather and grandmother all kinds of things. Of course, Wang Jun can't do this for Chutian, but for SUSTAR.
Chen Shi's single was successfully recorded within two days, and SUSTAR also happened to complete all the filming of the MV, seamlessly connecting and starting to rehearse the two new songs.
It should be mentioned here that Chen Shi's single was released directly after it was recorded, and as for some operations and promotions, he naturally paid for it himself.
Chen Shi has never been short of money, and he has always had the idea of losing money and making no profit in music. has experienced the failure of so many albums, and at the same time became popular because of acting, at this time, no one can say whether Chen Shi is for fire or the pursuit of music, or even just to take a breath.
