Chapter 180: Changing Heavens
In early August, it is the hottest time of the year, and on this day, the sky is clear, and you can fry eggs on the road.
The sun shone in unobstructed and drove almost everyone into the room.
Song Yan's new album, two days of recording, is basically the same, the only thing that was delayed was on "Cut Love", this originally prepared song, Ye Luo finally thought about it, and felt that it was still not suitable for Song Yan, so he changed it to another one.
When Song Yan's last song was recorded, Ye Luo let out a long breath.
"Alright." Ye Luo made an OK gesture to Song Yan in the recording studio, and then said to Hu Jianing on the side, "Okay, in this way, Song Yan's album and vocal recording are completed, and this new song just now should be used as the title song." Tomorrow I'll hand over the arrangement of this song to you, and you can make an accompaniment and come out together, and it's done. ”
"Hmm." Hu Jianing nodded, "Then what's next, who is it for?" ”
"Mo'er's." Ye Luo smiled, "And my own." ”
Chu Mo'er has either helped Song Yan's new album record harmony in the past two days, or she has been reading books upstairs and familiarizing herself with new songs, and now she is upstairs, and Ye Luo called her down with a phone call.
The two songs recorded this afternoon are the second pair of songs in "The Journey of Love", the first pair is "Meet" and "Legend".
Because Ye Luo's new song still needs to be produced in zuòMV, Chu Moer's new song also needs to be sent to the compilation album of the new girls in the global production in advance, so these two songs must be recorded in advance.
When Ye Luo was recording the song, Song Yan and Chu Mo'er were both wearing monitoring headphones outside, and after one time, Chu Mo'er smiled and gestured to Ye Luo to OK.
But Song Yan was looking down at her phone, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she had seen some bad news on her phone.
Behind two stunning women. Assistant Tang Jinxiu walked into the control room, and looked at Ye Luo, who had just finished singing, with a pair of wonderful eyes, as if he had something to ask.
"How?" In the recording studio, after singing, Ye Luotong asked Hu Jianing with the microphone.
"It's over." Hu Jianing nodded, "Come out." ”
Walking out of the recording studio, Ye Luo saw Tang Jinxiu on the side and stopped talking. First asked, "Miss Tang, is there something wrong?" ”
"Yes, boss." Tang Jinxiu said, "This afternoon, Tianjing held a press conference and announced a very important news, related to the music industry. ”
Song Yan nodded: "It's very heavy." ”
"Oh? What news. Ye Luo walked to the work chair in front of the control desk and slowly sat down.
Ke Hao, the new chairman of the Yangtze River Group, the largest industrial group in China. Today, he announced in a high-profile manner that he has completed the acquisition of five record companies: Ethereal Paradise, Sunshine Records, Sea Butterfly Records, Huayan International, and Polygram, and the new company will be officially named Ethereal Records. Tang Jinxiu said.
"What?" Hu Jianing was very surprised, and then muttered. "If these five record companies are separated, no one can compare to the dream, let alone Universal. But once integrated, from the perspective of the sales share of the record market, it will not only be one of the three in the world, but the overall strength will even be above the world? This Ke Hao is so generous! ”
"Ke Hao is a layman in music." Song Yan's eyebrows were slightly twisted. "What is he doing in the music industry?"
"It's nothing that the boss is a layman." Ye Luo said, "It just depends on whether the person he hires is an expert." ”
Tang Jinxiu immediately added: "The new music director of Ethereal Records. His name is Ding Shaoyang. ”
"It turned out to be him." Ye Luo nodded, this is also a musical genius, the 95th class of the Tianjing Conservatory of Music was led by him, and Chen Tianhua, the current music director of Universal, was not as good as him at that time.
This person can be regarded as adrift in the music industry for many years. In the early years, when he was in school, he was already famous, but after graduation, he never joined a record company, but worked on his own, and also opened a small record company. But none of them were very successful.
It's not that the music he makes is not good, but the publicity channels and other aspects, because the financial constraints can't keep up.
When Ding Shaoyang rose, the network was not as developed as it is now, information dissemination was not so convenient, and the promotion of a song depended very much on the company's own operation level.
"Ding Shaoyang? This is recognized as the top master in the Tianjing music circle. Hu Jianing is obviously no stranger to this person, "Good tunes are easy to come by, in the early years in Houhai, his nickname was Ding Undefeated, live fighting, no one can win him." Chen Tianhua, Jia Qing, Luo Xingzhou, and Sha Fuhai all fought with him, except for Sha Fuhai, who lasted until the ninth song, the others were defeated within seven songs. ”
"Live music is only one aspect of the musician's level." Ye Luo said with a smile, "Chen Tianhua is not good at making songs on the spot, but no one will say that the music he has carefully carved is bad." It's just that the horse is working fast, and the habits of creation are different. ”
"Having said that, but Ding Shaoyang, once he has financial support, the propaganda can keep up, with his talent, the energy that bursts out is really not to be underestimated." Hu Jianing said with emotion.
"Ding Shaoyang is the director, there is always a deputy by his side, right?" Ye Luo asked again.
"The deputy director of music at Ethereal Records, led by you." Tang Jinxiu smiled slightly, "You can be the first deputy director." ”
Ye Luo pointed to his nose: "Why don't I know?" ”
"This is the letter of appointment that just came in." Tang Jinxiu took out a piece of paper from Wen Jiàn's folder and sent it to Ye Luo, "Look, are you dissatisfied?" ”
The fax in Tang Jinxiu's hand attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
"The annual salary is two million, and the zuò records under his name are divided into 20 ......percent," Hu Jianing read out softly, and then exclaimed, "Ho! Quite sincere! ”
"Why is the last punctuation mark a comma?" Chu Mo'er was attentive and asked softly at this time.
Tang Jinxiu smiled slightly: "The other party said, let the boss fill in the content after the comma, and then send it back, they will try their best to be satisfied." ”
"This method of digging people is really straightforward." Hu Jianing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This is smashing the door with gold bricks." ”
"Say no." Ye Luo waved his hand, "To put it mildly." ”
"Okay." Tang Jinxiu nodded, then turned around and walked out of the control room.
Hu Jianing frowned and said: "This is a change, I think, announcing the integration of the company, and then announcing the director candidate, is only the first step." After that, there will inevitably be a series of actions on this natural sound record, and each action will be greatly hyped to gather popularity for the company.
Ye Luo, if you push a new song at this time, the public's attention will definitely be distracted. Isn't it waiting? ”
"Can't wait." Ye Luo shook his head, "The announcement from the world was just sent out at noon today, and Song Yan's new album preview was also sent out yesterday, and it was hard to recover." ”
"It's a coincidence." Hu Jianing smacked his lips and muttered.
……
Thousands of kilometers away, Tianjing, today is far less hot than the previous one, but as dusk approaches, the cool breeze is very comfortable.
In a brand-new office building in the Dawn District, the smell of the newly renovated office has not yet dissipated, and a slender middle-aged man stands in front of the window, and a young assistant in a suit and leather shoes stands next to him, standing respectfully.
"It's a rare day with good weather." The middle-aged man looked at the blood-red sunset between the tall buildings from afar, and said with emotion, "In Tianjing, it is usually difficult to see the buildings opposite. ”
"Director." The young assistant didn't answer, but got down to business, "Ye Luo came from the call, and he politely declined our invitation. ”
"Oh?" The middle-aged man smiled: "I didn't let Mr. Ke invite him, but Mr. Ke directly bypassed me to invite." It's hard for him to come, and it's better not to come. ”
"Director, Mr. Ke's press conference today, will he be in a hurry? Didn't you originally say that you were going to wait until it was fully integrated before it was officially announced? The young assistant continued.
"I can't blame Mr. Ke for this, this is what I ordered." The middle-aged man didn't look back, but just smiled faintly, "The release of the record, like the release of the movie, is also to rush the schedule." The production, approval, publicity, and distribution of records all take time, and if it drags on for a few more months, the daylily will be cold. ”
"Oh." The young assistant nodded as if he didn't understand, and didn't ask any more.
"Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot." The middle-aged man didn't stop, and continued: "The domestic record market has been sluggish in recent years, but you see this year, after the cutting-edge girls, the market suddenly picked up, and it seems to be a good thing, but the reason is just the aftermath of the national carnival program for cutting-edge girls. ”
The young assistant was taken aback and asked, "But with such a big investment from Mr. Ke, if the boom in the record market is just an illusion, how should it end?" ”
"With Mr. Ke's financial resources, this amount of money will not hurt his muscles and bones." The middle-aged man smiled slightly, and said lightly: "However, since we are cannibals, we can't help but work hard."
If we want to completely activate the record market, we should turn the current impulsive consumption of music fans into habitual consumption, and continue to do so.
Therefore, after the cutting-edge girls, the topicality of music must be maintained, and the public's attention cannot be reduced. This breath cannot be vented, and it will be over as soon as it is discharged.
A while ago, this young man was very popular, which is actually very good, if he continues to be so popular, we will have enough time to complete the integration. But recently, this young man seems to be a little weak, in this case, don't blame me for intervening in advance, compete a little, give everyone some pressure, so that you can win together. ”
In the end, the middle-aged man's eyes looked to the south again, and there was an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth. (To be continued......)
