Chapter 40: Song Choice Troubles

"So fast?" Yuan Zelang replied to the message with some confusion and asked, Zhang Wenhua is afraid that he hasn't even written a specific cooperation plan yet, how can he agree to it all so quickly?

"I didn't expect things to develop like this, I was just writing a cooperation plan, and suddenly I received a call from the boss. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info asked me how I was talking about cooperation with you, and I reported to him truthfully, and then he agreed! ”

Zhang Wenhua obviously didn't expect things to develop like this, he originally thought that this matter would take more time, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

What surprised him the most was that the big boss who couldn't see the end of Shenlong actually called him in person, and left all the cooperation with Yuan Zelang to himself.

To be honest, Zhang Wenhua was confused at the beginning, so that after hanging up the phone, he was still a little incredulous, stunned for a few seconds before sending a message to Yuan Zelang.

Yuan Zelang thought about it after seeing Zhang Wenhua's reply, and he felt that the reason why this matter attracted the attention of the big boss behind Kugou so quickly and decided to cooperate with him so quickly should have heard some gossip.

The biggest possibility is that I heard the news that QQ Music is also trying to cooperate with me, so I decided to cooperate with myself so quickly.

That's the possibility that Yuan Zelang can think of, and he thinks it's very likely, otherwise, Kugou Music wouldn't be willing to spend so many resources to cooperate with him and help him publicize.

But then again, there is no wasted lunch in the world, and the reason why Kugou Music will do this is nothing more than to see its own potential.

If you become popular, the benefits to Kugou Music are also huge, and then Kugou Music can use its success to attract more singers with strength and potential but no background to cooperate with Lugou Music, and then attract more users for Kugou Music.

Taking a step back, even if Kugou's promotion of Yuan Zelang did not achieve the expected effect, it would not be harmful, it was nothing more than the loss of some channel promotion fees.

But if this snowball rolls up, it can undoubtedly create huge economic value.

"Okay, I'm just going to inform you, I have to hurry up and write a cooperation plan, otherwise it will be over if the boss suddenly changes." Zhang Wenhua said that Yuan Zelang hadn't replied to him for so long, so he replied jokingly.

"Okay, in that case, I'll have to prepare the tracks for this album too." Yuan Zelang replied.

"Come on!" Zhang Wenhua replied.

"Come on!" Yuan Zelang also replied.

After ending the chat with Zhang Wenhua, Yuan Zelang began to calm down and think about what he should do with his first album.

Rock, pop, folk?

After thinking about it for a long time, Yuan Zelang still couldn't make a decision, so he decided to simply do everything.

The main reason for this is that he doesn't want to leave a certain image in the impression of fans.

Of course, it's an exaggeration to do everything, and the overall style of the album still has to be there, otherwise the whole album will look messy.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yuan Zelang finally decided that the definition of this album is roughly under the framework of campus folk songs, supplemented by a few other styles of music.

That is to say, while the style as a whole is unified as a campus ballad, he is ready to intersperse one or two songs with different flavors, such as rock and pop, so as to give the audience a different feeling.

In fact, many albums in the previous life were roughly like this, and in the major record companies, there is generally a department called A&R, and the full English name is artistandrepertoire. The main task of this department is to discover and train singers or artists.

The A&R division is the link between record labels and artists, helping them succeed in the commercial market. In the preparation stage of record production, A&R will help the singer think of the planning direction and album concept according to the characteristics of the singer himself, and only with the concept can he invite songs to the copyright company in a targeted manner.

A commercial album certainly wants to have as wide a audience as possible, and after positioning the concept and overall style of the album, the planning team will also subdivide the style on this basis, such as adding several songs with different styles to meet different audiences.

In general, after deciding on the general style of a piece of music, it is time to find an album producer.

Commonly referred to as a record producer or album producer, their job includes controlling the scheduling of recording projects, training and directing singers, organizing production budgets and resources, overseeing the recording process, and conducting mixing and mastering post-production.

The producer often determines the final direction of a record and is the soul of a record. In a way, a music producer is like a film and television director, whose task is to design and produce songs that fit the style of the entire album.

Because producers play such an important role in the production of albums, choosing a producer becomes the most important thing in making an album.

Because the style of each producer is very different, the choice of music producer depends on the style of the album, such as making a dance music album, it is impossible to find Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng.

As for whether you have to ask a big-name producer to escort the record, this is a matter of opinion.

But most of the time, it's just a publicity stunt, because while a big-name producer is stable and objective, his music can be a little more old-fashioned, and sometimes it's more creative and unexpected to use a new producer.

However, Yuan Zelang does not have the above troubles, because his entire album will be handled by himself, and it will be the same in the future.

Once you've decided on the overall style and producer, the next thing to do is decide on the tracks for the album.

Generally speaking, after the record idea is decided, the record company will send a request to the copyright company to invite songs, because the copyright company has a large library of original songs. The producer only needs to wait for a large number of song materials to be sent, and there are all kinds of music types, as long as the producer thinks the song is suitable and pays the copyright fee, even if it is a foreign melody, it is also used, and there is no restriction at all.

As for inviting songs to the designated music creators, it is the "icing on the cake" thing.

Many singers will invite one or two lyrics or songs to one or two big-name musicians for their albums, because the quality of the works of big-name musicians is relatively stable, and the things written will not be too bad, which can add points to the album; On the other hand, and the main aspect, is because record companies can use this strong creative lineup as a promotional gimmick to win the attention of fans.

But it is not a simple matter to invite big-name musicians to sing, because the works of big-name music creators are expensive, not to mention, they often have more work at hand, and they have to "queue" to ask them to compose lyrics and music, and they will face the problem of long delivery time, and the most important thing is that people may not dump you.

Fortunately, Yuan Zelang has countless excellent music resources from his previous life, so this problem is not a problem for him at all, and what he has to do now is to pick out some songs to form his first album.

"Which songs?"

"One song of "You at the Same Table", two songs of "The Brother Who Slept on My Top Bunk", plus three songs of "Childhood", "Seventeen-year-old Rainy Season" can also be included, but this is only four songs! It's a lot like the standard for 10 or 12 songs on an album. ”

Yuan Zelang was a little worried, of course he had a lot of good songs in his head, but now it made him a little annoyed to let him choose some of the vast number of songs all at once?

After all, there are too many good songs, and if you put one song, you will have one less place to put another.
