Chapter 032: Three Songs in unison
After doing a good job of lyrics and arrangement, the accompaniment was done in the afternoon of the next day, this is not the final version of the accompaniment, but a condensed version, on this condensed version, Mu Rong, who is already familiar with the song, recorded it, and made a simple demo one night, and then sent it directly to the producer.
It's very efficient.
The producer himself already had four invitations to sing, and Chen Shi had a temporary kick, but this temporary kick was faster than the invitation song that had been sent out for some days.
The demo was released here in Sky Studio, so naturally Chen Shi had to let Chen Shi know, so Chen Shi came with him less than three minutes after the demo was sent to the production side, and he personally took the demo to find the stone steps responsible for the film soundtrack.
"Teacher Shi, are you still busy, rest for a while, let's listen to this. ”
Chen Shi is still very respectful to this famous soundtrack master in China, and carefully plays the demo, in addition, Chen Shi has not heard this song yet, and he is very curious if Chu Tian can really make all those balabala words that day.
After listening, both of them were surprised.
In the demo, the first pure cappella "lalala" was very amazing at the beginning, and then the melody and lyrics of the whole song were very comfortable to listen to, and it could be completely immersed in it in just a few minutes.
"Theme song?" Stone Steps asked, coming back to his senses.
Chen Shi nodded and hurriedly asked, "What does Teacher Shi think?"
Shi Tie replied very seriously: "The song is good, the words are good, and the singing is good." ”
Chen Shi was overjoyed, and asked again: "Is that suitable for our movie?"
Shi Tie smiled: "This song, whoever you listen to during this time, the first thing you can think of will probably be the movie "Painted Skin". I'll call Director Shang over. ”
Director Shang Jia came over to listen to it, and then asked about other invited songs, and added Chen Shizai, so he directly decided that this "Painted Heart" was the theme song of "Painted Skin".
Chen Shi told Chutian the news, and soon someone from the producer went to the studio to sign the agreement, and also paid the deposit, and sent a staff member to stay in the studio for easy contact.
After signing the agreement, Sky Studio began to re-produce the accompaniment, and all the expenses of this theme song were reimbursed by the producer, and the upper limit was very high.
The original world's "Painting Heart" also found a top symphony orchestra to perform, but the arrangement version is different. In addition, Chu Tianlai is the piano player, and his piano performance is also the most important instrument in this version of the arrangement.
It is not easy to cooperate with the top symphony orchestras in China, and it is even more difficult to make them obey a producer like Chu Tian who is not very famous.
The symphony orchestra did not devote all the time of the day to Chutian, so it went through three days of rehearsals and a live recording on the fourth day.
It took a day to record two versions, one version was pure accompaniment for Mu Rong to go back to the studio to record, and the other version was for Mu Rong to sing live. went back to Mu Rong to re-record, and after comparing the two versions, the effects had their own merits, so they were all sent to the producer and let them choose by themselves.
The quality and efficiency of Sky Studio made the producers very satisfied, and at the same time as the final payment, Mu Rong also took time to go to them to shoot some photos and videos to cooperate with the promotion, and also signed some agreements to cooperate with the publicity, including performances and even roadshows, and the cost of this is naturally negotiated with Sky Brokerage.
During the recording of this "Painting Heart", the personnel who should be recruited by Sky Broker have also been recruited, and the basic framework has been all set up, and the main thing to do next is to release albums for Chen Shi and Lin Dongqiang.
Chen Shi's "Music Bulldozer" has already been produced, and when it was handed over to the sky, even the MV was filmed, and even the cover was done, it was a complete album, and what the next thing the sky needed to do was to release it.
In terms of distribution channels, Wang Jun also has a certain network base, coupled with Chen Shi's name and Chen Shi's own publicity, not to mention online channels, even offline physical channels are also very complete.
There is nothing wrong with releasing Chen Shi's "Music Bulldozer", but it is not easy for Lin Dongqiang's all-Hokkien album to be released, first, Lin Dongqiang once debuted but has not been popular, it can be said that he is a newcomer, and second, the response of Hokkien songs in the market has not been good.
"Don't worry, don't worry!"
After listening to Wang Jun's difficulties, Chu Tian laughed and said, "I almost forgot to tell you that Brother Qiang's album release can't follow the general process." The number of sheets is printed out of 5,000 first, not to any channel providers, all sent to the Hokkien region, in addition to the major radio stations in the Hokkien region, but also to the major shopping malls, and even some individuals, all for free. ”
Chu Tian probably explained his own thoughts, Wang Jun was a little confused when he heard it, and he had been a singer agent for some years, so he had never heard of this kind of routine.
Chutian patiently gave his own explanation, and also took out a series of data - Da Ziwei went to the Fujian and Taiwan regions some time ago, not only to find a good voice, but also to conduct a market survey according to Chu Tian's instructions, these data are collected by Da Ziwei in the Fujian and Taiwan regions during this time - although it is not very complete and accurate, but the things he wants to express are also on it.
"Are you saying that the Hokkien market has always been there, and it is very large, and what we need to do now is to completely stimulate the vitality of this market?"
Wang Jun probably understood what Chu Tian meant, but he felt that this statement was too exaggerated and idealistic.
A singer + an album can activate a market?
That's not!
On this point, it is difficult for Chu Tian to explain to Wang Jun, and it is also difficult to explain to others, including Lin Dongqiang, because he is the only one who has compared the songs in the current Hokkien market, and knows very well the gap between the Hokkien song environment in this world and the Hokkien environment in the original world, and only he knows how much magic the songs in this album "Love Fight to Win" are.
After thinking about it, Chu Tian still told Wang Jun a more reasonable statement, that is, he cared more about the commercial performance market than the record market, and wanted to make these songs popular first by giving them away for free.
Wang Jun also knows some information about the Hokkien commercial performance market, the Hokkien region includes Southeast Asia in addition to Fujian and Taiwan, the proportion of local tyrants is high, and the commercial performance market of private, private and small regions is indeed much higher than the global level.
After discussing this matter, Chutian arranged a task for Lin Dongqiang, that is, fitness, and specially assigned him a fitness coach at a high price.
Chu Tian said that he really cares about the commercial performance market in southern Fujian is really not just to coax Wang Jun, but really cares about the understanding of southern Fujian people in the two lives, and it is foreseeable how hot the commercial performance invitations after songs such as "Love to Fight to Win" will be popular.
Well, in order to let Lin Dongqiang run more commercial performances and make more money, Chu Tian felt that he had to prepare a strong physique in advance.
The album was quickly handed over to a record factory found by Wang Jun to be burned and packaged, and sent to the Hokkien-speaking region, and at this time, some of Lin Dongqiang's network reserves also came in handy.
In addition, Chutian also specially asked Da Ziwei, who was outside, to recruit more than a dozen people on the spot, scattered in various regions of Fujian and Taiwan, specifically to go to major shopping malls and even stores to give away albums for free.
Just when Lin Dongqiang's singing voice slowly spread in the Hokkien-speaking region, Chen Shi's second wave of title song of "Music Bulldozer" also began to be promoted on major radio stations and the Internet.
The first title song is "God, Help Me".
The second title song, Chu Tian thought about it and decided to set the original world and strengthened Chen Xiaochun's "ridiculous grief" style of "No That Life".
At the same time, the movie "Painted Skin" carried out a new round of promotion, in addition to releasing the second trailer, the theme song "Painted Heart" was also released.
