Chapter 138: Guidance
Today's young people are amazing!
Looking at the pair of sisters and brothers in front of him, Lin Zhijie felt that he was really a little old.
Thinking can't keep up with the pace of young people.
Lu Chen, 22 years old, just graduated from college, not a music major, officially debuted through a talent show with good ratings, and became a rising star in the pop music scene.
And he didn't take the route of fame that most newcomers have to take, he didn't sign any agency, he directly established his own studio, and now he is going to release his first album, and the speed of his rise is jaw-dropping!
Lu Xi, Lu Chen's sister, who is also his agent and studio manager, is also dazzlingly young.
Although in Lin Zhijie's view, both Lu Chen and Lu Xi are immature, but the spirit of self-confidence and self-improvement shared by the two deeply touched this old man in the circle.
Tan Hong likes to bring newcomers, and he Lin Zhijie is not bad, so he helped out.
Today's domestic pop music scene is in great need of energetic and capable rising stars!
Lin Zhijie shook his head and said: "Don't thank me, I also help the company pull business, the key depends on yourself, whether the CD album can be successfully released, quality is the key"
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that Lu Chen was really no problem in this regard!
From the preliminary round of "Singing China" to the final finals, all the works sung by Lu Chen are original works.
"You at the Same Table", "Fly Higher", "Youth Jinshi", "Love in the Dust" and the currently popular "Dream Chasing Pure Heart" on the Internet are all from him, and the first capital is excellent, even a classic!
If you do the math, it's not a problem to put together a complete album at all.
As for the quality of the song
Then what else is there to say, he gave Lu Chen several 10 points as a judge!
Lin Zhijie immediately swallowed back the words behind. Asked, "Where are you going to make this album?"
The music director of Feishi Records found that he was dull enough, Lu Chen's album could be taken over and put in his own company to produce, promote and distribute it!
With the quality of these songs, Lu Chen's talent, and the strong strength of Feishi Records, maybe he can create a small miracle and reproduce a little bit of the glory of the record industry back then.
For the decline of the record industry. Lin Zhijie has always been obsessed.
The appearance of this opportunity made him excited!
Where could Lu Chen guess Lin Zhijie's thoughts, and replied without thinking: "It is currently being produced in Nirvana Studio, and seven songs have been recorded, and it should be completed in a week at most." ”
If it weren't for the delay of the "Sing China" national tour PK competition, his debut album would definitely have been completed.
But this little time is nothing at all, it is equivalent to publicity in advance.
Lin Zhijie was instantly disappointed - how can you make your first album for others in a sloppy manner?
Nirvana Studio? What the hell is that?
I've never heard of it!
He stood up and said, "Let's go, take me to that studio." I'm going to try it out!"
secretly made a decision, if the level of production of this Nirvana studio is not good, then he should not talk about any face, he must pry Lu Chen's business over and do it again.
It's not about making money or anything, now it's a loss to release records, Lin Zhijie doesn't want to see these good songs ruined, otherwise his conscience will be uneasy!
In the current domestic environment, an excellent original song is rare. Don't say the whole album.
Lu Chen and Lu Xi looked at each other, not understanding why Lin Zhijie was so excited.
But the face of this music director of Flying Stone Records must be given. Lu Chen hurriedly said: "Okay, then I'll take you over now, Nirvana Studio is also in the park, it's very close." ”
Lin Zhijie waved his hand: "Go!"
He couldn't wait to hear Lu Chen's album, even if it was still a half-finished product.
Lu Xi paid the bill, and then the group left the Lanting Cafe. Rush to Nirvana Studios.
While on the way, Lu Chen called Wang Jing to inform her to get ready.
When I arrived at the Nirvana Studio, all the members came out to greet me!
Wang Jing, Wang Hui and Wang Changsheng, plus the other three members of the Nirvana Band, seem very grand.
I saw Lu Chen and the others coming. Wang Jing stepped forward and saluted Lin Zhijie: "Hello Teacher Lin!"
Lin Zhijie was shocked by her, and said in a daze: "Okay, you are?"
He has been in the industry for more than 20 years and has brought a lot of apprentices, but there is no one in front of him.
Wang Jing explained: "Three years ago, you gave an open lecture in Jingyin, and I listened to it twice and benefited a lot. ”
"Oh!"
Lin Zhijie suddenly realized: "So that's the case, I said when did I have such a beautiful female student!"
Wang Jing couldn't help but smile.
She is the kind of girl who is very refreshing, with short hair and no powder, and her temperament is a little cold and arrogant.
But she is very beautiful, there are no obvious flaws in her eyes, nose and mouth, if she dresses up carefully, puts on a skirt and goes out for a walk, I don't know how many men's hearts can be hooked.
Lu Chen has come to Nirvana Studio a lot of times, and he really hasn't seen Wang Jing laugh a few times.
And when she laughed, the space around her seemed to brighten.
Wang Changsheng said respectfully: "Director Lin, it is our honor for you to come to our studio. ”
Lin Zhijie is very famous in the circle, and he has just served as a judge of "Singing China", of course Wang Changsheng knows him, and he is very happy in his heart.
This industry celebrity visited Nirvana Studio, and when he talks to others in the future, his face will shine!
Lin Zhijie was accustomed to seeing all kinds of scenes, and he dealt with it very decently: "You are too polite, let's talk inside." ”
He's here to listen to songs, not to socialize.
In fact, at this time, in Lin Zhijie's heart, he was already complaining about Lu Chen.
This studio looks like a small workshop, whether it is the reception room at the front desk or the office inside, it is very small and cramped, what good works can be made in such poor conditions?
It wasn't until he came to the studio that his impression changed.
From Lin Zhijie's professional point of view, this small recording studio is very professionally arranged, and the equipment investment is not too bad, Nirvana Studio should use most of the funds on it, so it will be so bad outside.
Such a business attitude is still worthy of affirmation.
However, Lin Zhijie still has doubts about the quality of the album.
After all, except for Wang Changsheng, the other members of Nirvana Studio are all young people of about the same age.
Since there is no special listening room in the studio, Lin Zhijie directly asked for monitoring headphones to listen to the high-quality sound sources that have been recorded.
The specific operation is completed by Wang Hui.
Lin Zhijie listened to it for more than half an hour.
Because of his special status, everyone waited in the studio.
Lu Chen and Lu Xi were okay, Wang Changsheng and Wang Hui, and Wang Jing all looked nervous and a little expectant.
Lin Zhijie is a true connoisseur, his professionalism is beyond doubt, he came to Nirvana Studio to audition Lu Chen's first album, and his evaluation will undoubtedly affect the studio's reputation in the industry.
If Lin Zhijie doesn't say it well, if it doesn't work, then even if Nirvana Studio doesn't close down immediately, it will be very sad in the future, because if the reputation is poor, not many customers are willing to send business over.
And if he could praise a few words, it would be completely reversed!
In this anxious waiting, Lin Zhijie finally listened to all the 7 recorded works.
He took off his monitor headphones, his expression a little complicated.
As far as the usual works are concerned, Lin Zhijie is not very satisfied, and he has heard a lot of problems.
For example, the arrangement is not perfect enough, the instrumental accompaniment lacks sufficient layering and detailed performance, and the post-processing techniques are slightly immature, which does not fully express the artistic conception and emotion of the song
But it is undeniable that Nirvana Studio is very serious and very attentive to making this album, in terms of the conditions and equipment here, just relying on the strength of a few young people, it is already very good to be able to do this, and it really can't be too demanding.
So Lin Zhijie couldn't help but feel conflicted, on the one hand, he hoped that Lu Chen's debut album would be flawless, and on the other hand, he didn't want or couldn't bear to hit these hard-working young people.
Attitude is everything!
The most important thing is that this is Lu Chen's own choice.
Lin Zhijie thought for a while and said, "The problem is that there are some, but the overall is okay." ”
He pointed out the shortcomings directly.
If it is someone else, it may not be so serious, say something good, hello, I am good, everyone, and it has nothing to do with myself.
But Lin Zhijie is not like this, he doesn't like that kind of hypocritical way of communication.
Say whatever you want, and be outspoken!
For Wang Jing, Wang Hui and others, this is undoubtedly an excellent learning opportunity for them, usually even if the studio spends money to invite, they can't invite a person of Lin Zhijie's level to come over for guidance.
Therefore, everyone listened very carefully, and the more critical the words, the more they kept it in mind!
Only when we know where the shortcomings are, can we correct them.
When Lin Zhijie talked about the rise, he also forgot his own principles and comprehensively analyzed several songs.
Lu Xi didn't understand, the more she listened, the more bottomless she became, and she couldn't help but look at Lu Chen.
With so many problems with the new album, is it still okay?
Lu Chen gave her an affirmative look.
No album, no matter which company makes it, can never be truly flawless.
The strength of Nirvana Studio is indeed not strong enough, but Wang Jing and Wang Hui's work attitude makes him have nothing to say, even if there are certain flaws, it will not have much impact on the overall quality.
The production cost of 100,000 yuan is already worth the price!
The third is sent, asking for monthly ticket support, thank you! )
