Chapter 264: Album Song Selection
In fact, for a newcomer, Chen Chufan is already very lucky.
You must know that many newcomers who have just signed a contract even receive training in the company, learn and do chores to spend their rookie period. How can he be like Chen Chufan, who has the treatment of being able to release an album as soon as he enters the company? Of course, this is also the welfare that Chen Chufan has won by proving himself in country M.
But even so, on the way to the recording studio, Chen Chufan still had a bitter face. I kept complaining that the old man Kalmanwater was too unreasonable. Don't you understand the truth of Xiao Biesheng's newlywed?
However, when he officially put himself into work, Chen Chufan immediately abandoned his complaining emotions and began to get serious. At this time, he was in the recording studio, holding a few songs that Kalmanwalt had handed him that had already been written, and humming softly.
At this time, the mixer had not yet arrived, and the free time was just right for Chen Chufan to familiarize himself with a few new songs.
I have to say that Kalmanwater is indeed dedicated and efficient enough, and he has not been here for a long time on Hong Kong Island, and he has collected several new songs that he has preliminarily screened through various channels. Among them are new singles from songwriters from around the world, as well as contributions from songwriters who are not yet famous.
However, because Kalmanwalt didn't understand it, he could only choose what he thought was excellent from the melody to Chen Chufan. Many songs whose lyrics are written specifically for female singers have also been singled out by Kalmanwater. In particular, it can be seen that Kalmanwater is really only suitable for being a transitional agent. After all, you can't expect an elderly person to learn a language. It is also the most complex language in the world, Chinese.
Chen Chufan carefully looked for a suitable song among the songs provided by Kalmanwalt. For his first Chinese album, Chen Chufan doesn't want to fool around casually. He has an obsession that can become an instant hit. You must know that today's song fight with Zhou Jinglun made him hold his breath. He secretly kept in mind the names of all the judges who voted for Zhou Jinglun.
No matter what the judges have in mind to vote for Zhou Jinglun, he has to prove himself in front of them. In his opinion, he was obviously slapped in the face by those judges in today's competition. A real man naturally has to fight back. Of course, it's not fists. It's with music. But music is an ethereal concept after all, and the specific point is naturally to use album results.
If his first album encounters Waterloo, Chen Chufan can think with pigu that today's events must be hyped by some people, and there may be rumors that he and his agent will take advantage of the situation to suppress newcomers. Of course, Chen Chufan couldn't let this happen.
Unfortunately, of the eight songs that Kalmanwater provided him, he only found four new songs that he thought were good. They are "Immortal", "Hold Your Hand", "Not Unsatisfied" and a song "Right Hand Side".
"These four songs are good, and they can be used on the album. But this song "Not Unsatisfied" seems to be written specifically for female singers, right? Chen Chufan asked.
Four songs will be singled out. Chen Chufan returned the other songs to Kalman.
"The lyrics can be modified slightly with the permission of the lyricist, which is very simple. But nothing else? If you release an album before the end of the year, there are too many bad songs, right? Kalmanwater stretched out his hand to take the song materials handed back by Chen Chufan, slightly disappointed. There are only four Chinese songs. Apparently too little for an album.
"Plus the song "Jialan Night Rain" is five songs, and I have created a new song, rock style, and I will write the lyrics and songs later. The song is called "Sea and Sky", so there are six songs, let's record these six songs first. By the way, how many songs do you think is appropriate for the first album? Chen Chufan thought for a while and replied.
"Since you're going to focus on developing here. Then I think at least eight songs, preferably ten! Kalmanwater thought for a moment and said.
"That's not much worse. Is this good, if you put three English songs in it, there will be nine songs. Maybe I'll be inspired to write a song again in the next two days. That's a whole ten! Chen Chufan said assumedly.
Kalmanwater was silent. I was thinking about the feasibility of Chen Chufan's proposal. Sounds like a good idea, but if you release an album like this, the songs on this album are too miscellaneous, right? There are Chinese and English, hardcore rock and rhythm and blues. There is ChamberPOP and R&B, can the market accept it?
"Why not?" Watching Kalmanwalt didn't speak for a long time. Chen Chufan asked suspiciously.
"Chen, don't you think the styles of the songs included in such an album are too mixed?" Kalmanwater voiced his hesitation.
"Too varied?" Chen Chufan thought about it, and there was indeed this problem. However, Chen Chufan thought about it, the British album he released in country M only has four songs, and they are all miscellaneous of various styles, and the sales are not very good. Then he said: "It's miscellaneous, it's better not to get some songs that you are not satisfied with into the album!" ”
He didn't take into account that when he was in country M, he had already made a name for himself through digital music sales, so much multimedia was free to promote him, and there was also "Pretty Woman", a blockbuster movie in country M, to build momentum for him. Even before he released the album, he had a concert. In this case, it is certainly not surprising that his albums are hot sellers.
And now he is just a nobody on Hong Kong Island, where will there be so many resources for him to squander?
But Kalmanwalt, who has always been cautious, didn't think about it so much, but nodded again and again, agreeing with Chen Chufan's words. It's not that Kalmanwater has become as unprofessional as Chen Chufan. But after getting along with Chen Chufan for a period of time, Kalmanwalt is full of confidence in this boy from country Z who has repeatedly created miracles.
If anyone is paranoid now, they believe that as long as Chen Chufan sings, he will definitely succeed. Maybe except for Chen Chufan, it's Kalmanwater. Or Zhang Si, who has just become a fan of Chen Chufan's brains, can barely be counted as one. But even Han Xiaoxi, Ye Siying and even Su Xiuqing may not have as much confidence in Chen Chufan as Kalmanwalt.
Chen Chufan has used his musical strength to conquer this stubborn little old man of country M. Maybe Kalmanwater doesn't like Chen Chufan as a person, but he has to admit that he admires Chen Chufan's strength. Perhaps it is precisely because of this contradiction that Kalmanwater often does not use his previous reasoning to judge and analyze Chen Chufan's opinions. Instead, he directly agreed with Chen Chufan's thoughts.
"According to you, is it possible to record a complete album with just one song now?" Su Xiuqing, who had never spoken, suddenly asked when she saw that Kalmanwater also agreed with Chen Chufan's statement.
Su Xiuqing suddenly spoke, causing Chen Chufan and Kalmanwalt's eyes to move to her.
"What's wrong? Xiuqing, do you also happen to have a new song? Chen Chufan joked with a sneer. In fact, every day when facing Su Xiuqing, Chen Chufan has a strange feeling, for this woman in the show, Chen Chufan has both appreciation and a trace of guilt, especially when Han Xiaoxi and Ye Siying both come to Hong Kong Island, he will always intentionally or unintentionally ignore the existence of this woman, which makes his guilt magnify a lot.
"Well, I wrote a lyric, but I don't know how to compose music. I think this song I wrote would make it to your first album! Su Xiuqing said indifferently, and after speaking, she took out the piece of paper she had just recorded the lyrics from her body and handed it to Chen Chufan.
"Huh?" Chen Chufan took the paper full of Juanxiu fonts from Su Xiuqing's hand with some surprise and looked at it carefully.
"I'll wait for you, for half a year, and I'll forget you if it's overdue" Seeing the chorus, Chen Chufan was already in a cold sweat. I can't help but have a strange feeling in my heart, is this a lyric written, or a declaration to myself?
"How? Still satisfied? After a while, feeling that Chen Chufan should have almost finished reading, Su Xiuqing asked.
"Satisfied, satisfied!" Chen Chufan nodded awkwardly. He didn't even know what Su Xiuqing was asking. Are you satisfied with the lyrics? Or are you satisfied with the half-year wait?
"It's good to be satisfied! I hope you make a song that will satisfy me as well! Su Xiuqing whispered, like an admonition, more like a request, which made Chen Chufan feel pressured.
"I'll do my best!" Chen Chufan nodded a little heavily.
"It's not about trying, it's about satisfying me, otherwise I'll go and tell Han Xiaoxi that you have bad intentions towards me in country M!"
Su Xiuqing was just joking, but it made Chen Chufan nervous. Although Chen Chufan did not have any misdeeds against Su Xiuqing when he was in country M, if he said that he had bad intentions, he really did, and he could testify to it, so it was inevitable that he would be weak-hearted.
At this time, Qiuqiu also seemed to feel the fluctuation of his master's mood, poked his head out of Chen Chufan's pocket, blinked his eyes, and looked at Su Xiuqing, who was standing opposite, his mouth cracked open to reveal an extremely ambiguous smile.
"Just talk, what are you so nervous about? Could it be that you really have any bad thoughts about me? Su Xiuqing looked at Chen Chufan's embarrassed and ambiguous appearance, and said.
It was only after the words came out that I realized that something was wrong, and my cheeks couldn't help but blush with shame because of my words.
It's just that Chen Chufan and Carl Manwater are not the only guys in the field who don't understand. There is also a Zhang 13 who insists on following Chen Chufan's side.
Zhang Shisan's ambiguous smile at this time was extremely amazing.
