Chapter 154: The Album Is Complete!
Time flies, time passes little by little, and before you know it, it is fleeting, like a white horse passing by.
In the blink of an eye, the golden August has passed, and the super city of Beijing, a super city with a population of 30 million, has entered the September of the fragrant osmanthus flowers.
Blue Sky Creative Park, Nirvana Studio.
In the recording studio, studio manager Wang Changsheng, music director Wang Jing, recording engineer Wang Hui and three other members of Nirvana Studio gathered around, staring at Lu Chen with nervous or expectant eyes.
Fine sweat oozed from Wang Changsheng's forehead, his eyes were a little dazed, and his right hand couldn't help but tremble.
Wang Jing's eyes were still bright and bright, but the action of biting her lip exposed her inner emotions.
Wang Hui was the most unbearable, the whole person was trembling, and he pressed his clenched fist on his mouth several times, as if he wanted to bite hard, otherwise he would shout out loudly and uncontrollably.
However, Lu Chen couldn't see it at all, he was wearing huge monitoring headphones, listening to his own voice.
"Whenever I can't find the meaning of existence, whenever I get lost in the night. β
"OH~The brightest star in the night sky, please light me up~"
The singing gradually stopped, but the aftermath lingered, still lingering in the ears, as if the blood burning in the heart was still hot!
After a long time, Lu Chen exhaled and opened his eyes.
Under everyone's anxious gaze, he took off his headphones, nodded and said, "It's okay." β
βYesοΌβ
The simple three words instantly set off a frenzy of joy in the recording studio, Wang Hui was the first to shout, and then the three members of the Nirvana Band all clapped their palms vigorously.
Wang Changsheng smiled happily with relief, and even Wang Jing, who had always been calm, smiled like a spring flower.
They have reason to rejoice, they have reason to cheer, and they have reason to celebrate!
Lu Chen's first album produced in Nirvana Studio. It is also the largest and most important order that the studio has received since its establishment, and it has taken up to two months before and after it has finally been completed.
Although there were certain problems in arrangement, accompaniment, recording, and post-production, and we didn't do our best, everyone did their best.
Ten songs on the entire album. It cannot be said to be a flawless work, but it is also qualified to be called a sincere masterpiece.
Lu Chen was already very satisfied.
100,000 yuan can make such an effect, which completely exceeds his expectations, maybe the arrangement is a little green, maybe the accompaniment is not familiar enough, but for this "You at the Table" album, it is really enough.
This bit of youth and immaturity does not affect the main style characteristics of the work at all, and can even better show a certain temperament of campus folk songs.
He said sincerely, "Thank you!"
Lu Chen first stretched out his hand to Wang Changsheng. For this album, the studio manager is busy running around, so that the production team has no worries, and there is no credit and hard work.
Then came Wang Hui.
His job is the hardest, recording and post-production are basically done by himself, often working overtime until late at night.
and Wang Jing.
She did all the arrangements for the work, and the Kyoin graduate had a good grasp of the style of the album and when she had problems. She tends to take the trouble to revise and adjust, and several times she is very serious.
Finally, there are three band members. It's also hard.
Even if they were mainly for themselves and the studio, Lu Chen was still grateful.
Because Lu Chen himself participated in the production process of the album, he is very aware of everyone's dedication and efforts!
So he would like to shake hands with everyone in Nirvana Studio one by one to express his gratitude.
The following things are simple, according to the contract, Lu Xi, who came with Lu Chen, paid the balance of the production fee to Nirvana Studio, and also got the master disk of the album and lossless high-quality audio files.
The album "You at the Table" has a total of 10 songs. In addition to the title song "You at the Same Table", there are also 8 works such as "Love in the Dust", "The Brother Who Sleeps on My Top Bunk", "Cinderella", "Young Jinshi", "Beauty", "Those Flowers", "Time Ballad" and "Open-air Cinema" to form a unified campus folk style.
The last song, Lu Chen, originally planned to use "Once You" as the finale and easter egg, but considering the influence of "Sing China" and the overall style, he finally chose "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".
As for "Once You" and "Dream Chaser", then put it on the next album.
Count it up. Such a lineup can be called luxurious, and the 10 songs are all masterpieces, with enough highlights in both melody and lyrics, and a true classic as the core.
The first album in his life, Lu Chen will never be ambiguous!
However, the name of the album made him hesitate for a long time, from a publicity point of view, "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" is undoubtedly the most appropriate, but it does not fit the theme of campus folk songs.
After careful consideration, Lu Chen still chose "You at the Same Table".
Lu Chen's studio has already negotiated with Feixun Music, and Lu Chen's first album will be released and sold exclusively on Feixun Music Online, just waiting for this set of audio files.
Feixun Music is the largest music website in China, with a market share of more than 50%, and it is very difficult for newcomers like Lu Chen to be independent artists, so it is very difficult to promote and distribute them on their website.
However, because the live version of several works sung by Lu Chen in "Singing China" has achieved great success in Feixun Music, and has been downloaded countless with good reputation, the website attaches great importance to this cooperation between the two parties.
Although there are various light and dark rules in Feixun Music, there are dark box operations on the homepage list, but they can't ignore a new singer-songwriter with huge market potential, so they are willing to exchange some of their benefits.
This relatively equal status is not easy to come by, and it is also due to Lu Chen's strength.
Otherwise, Lu Chen can go to Feixun Music's competitors, Yiwang Music, Pop Radio, etc., with the quality and popularity of his works, the sales performance will not be too bad.
Feixun Music doesn't want to cheapen its opponents in vain, even if the latter's market share is not as good as its own.
According to Lu Chen's plan, after Feixun Music was put on sale, the cooperation on Feishi Records was launched at the same time.
Feixun + Feishi basically constitutes a complete album sales channel, referred to as "Double Fly".
But there is still a very important problem that has not been solved, so it must be through the Feixun channel first.
"Xiao Chen!"
The call ringing in his ears made Lu Chen wake up suddenly.
Lu Xi asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Lu Chen was fascinated by the matter of channel distribution just now, but now that he came back to his senses, he hurriedly replied, "It's okay"
He said to Wang Changsheng again: "Manager Wang, I have booked a place at the Jinghua Hotel, I will invite everyone to have a meal together in the evening, now the time is almost up, let's go together!"
The conscientious and responsible work attitude of Nirvana Studio made Lu Chen very impressed, and he would definitely continue to cooperate in the future, so he was very willing to further enhance the relationship between the two parties.
Lu Xi mentioned that if the time is right, then Nirvana Studio will be directly acquired to strengthen itself.
But Lu Chen was reluctant to support his sister's idea for the time being, because he could see that Wang Changsheng's family had a deep affection for this studio, and they had also spent a lot of effort in it.
So unless the other party takes the initiative, he will not buy Nirvana Studio.
When Lu Chen's studio really needs to grow, it is not a problem to hire someone to build a shed by itself.
He doesn't want to be the kind of shrewd businessman who calculates the gains and losses of everything.
"Great, thank you, Brother Lu Chen!"
Wang Hui immediately expressed his strong support, and said with a smile: "I eat fast food box lunches every day, I am about to vomit, I want to eat a big meal, I want to eat roast duck, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour fish!"
Wang Jing slapped him on the back of the head and glared angrily - can you be more embarrassed?
Wang Hui looked aggrieved.
Lu Chenwan.
Wang Hui is a very simple technical nerd, without complicated thoughts, and he will say anything when he is accustomed to others.
In contrast, his sister Wang Jing pays more attention to details.
Wang Changsheng hurriedly said, "Mr. Lu, let me invite you to this dinner in the evening." β
Nirvana Studio made Lu Chen's money, and asked Lu Chen to invite guests to dinner, it was really embarrassing!
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Manager Wang, don't be polite, everyone is really hard, you have to invite me!"
At Lu Chen's insistence, he still invited this dinner.
Everyone left the studio together.
Jinghua Hotel is next to the Blue Sky Creative Park, and it is only a 10-minute walk away.
Lu Chen booked a large box in the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel.
After taking a seat, Lu Chen handed the menu to Wang Hui and said with a smile: "You can order, you can order whatever you like, don't be polite to me, this album can be successfully produced, you are the first credit!"
Wang Hui took it happily and said: "Brother Lu Chen, I am polite to others, you are really polite to you, you are now a local tyrant, you can earn more than one million yuan by participating in the draft competition, my sister admires you very much!"
Wang Jingqiao, who was sitting next to him, blushed and said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense!"
Wang Hui stuck out his tongue and hurriedly ordered.
After ordering, the food and drinks were quickly served.
Lu Chen poured himself a full glass of beer, raised his glass and said with a smile: "I salute everyone in this cup first, thank you for your efforts and help me complete an excellent album work, thank you!"
He drank it all in one gulp, and Wang Hui and the others immediately applauded.
Except for Wang Changsheng, the others were all young people of about the same age, everyone liked music, and they had a lot of common topics with each other, so the atmosphere in the banquet quickly became lively.
Halfway through the drink, Lu Chen's mobile phone rang.
Lu Chen took it out and looked at it, and the call information displayed on the screen made his eyes light up suddenly!
The first more will be sent first, and there will be in the evening, thank you very much for the support and love of all friends, so the monthly pass and reward, I am really moved, thank you! )
