Chapter 69: The Hunger Effect

"What day is today, Huang Xuan, Fengyun Brothers, they have all come to the company, and several songwriters and music critics who have worked closely with the company have come."

There is a gossip heart in everyone's body, but more or less, after someone witnessed Huang Xuan, who was not in the album production period, come to the company, many offices of Hanhai Records suddenly became lively.

"Pig brain, what else can there be at this time, of course, it is the internal audition meeting of Li Man's new album."

"Tsk, the company's big-name singers are all here to cheer, Li Man's new album is really eye-catching!"

"Needless to say, look at the company's posture during this time, who doesn't know that Li Man's new album is not simple, and the quality of "Don't Say Goodbye" is also there."

Due to the relationship between Jiang Lin and the "Don't Say Goodbye" released in advance, the newcomer singer's album audition meeting, which was unusually popular in the past, fully showed everyone's curiosity and expectation for Li Man's new album, and even Huang Xuan and Fengyun Brothers, who had always had a tense relationship, also came.

As the time for the official audition got closer and closer, people came to the audition room one after another, and gathered together in twos and threes to greet each other.

"Hello, Jiang Lin, I'm Hu Haifeng, Yun Fan and I both like your "Loyal to the Country" and "Don't Say Goodbye" you wrote, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." Hu Haifeng, who was dressed in a handsome suit, said with a smile on his face, he and his partner Lu Yunfan both thought that their Fengyun brothers group was very suitable for singing "Don't Say Goodbye".

"I also like the songs you sing, of course I can't ask for it if I have the opportunity, but you can create it yourself, I'm afraid you won't have the opportunity to give it to me." Jiang Lin smiled slightly.

"Heh, I don't think any singer will refuse a good song that suits him, I wish the more the better, just save myself from writing it, after all, it's easy to write a song, but it's hard to make a good song." Hu Haifeng smiled.

"But you've always done a great job, haven't you?" Jiang Lin chuckled.

In the greetings, the audition will start soon, according to the order of the album tracks, the first song is "Bad Sister", hearing the lyrics, there are people who smile slightly, some frown, some have expressionless faces, although the expressions are different, but no matter who obviously thinks the lyrics are written very vulgarly, but as the song continues to play, more and more people in the audition room have a smile on their faces, vulgar to vulgar, but also quite interesting, with the melody, it makes people feel happy.

Huang Xuan looked at Jiang Lin with a smile in his eyes, he didn't expect Jiang Lin to write such a song, and he was quickly relieved when he thought of "The Bride Is Not Me".

When the play of "Bad Sister" ended, the music of "The Quiet Sea That Summer" sounded in the listening room.

Just listened to a few words, the people who listened to the song with a relaxed expression instantly straightened their backs, their pupils dilated, and the melodious singing voice was very good when they heard it, and gradually, everyone exclaimed "good song" in their hearts, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Lin with a light face, can write such a song, this guy really deserves the title of genius.

Later, as one song after another was played, Huang Xuan, Hu Haifeng and others, who listened to the song for the first time, first shook more and more in their hearts, and finally became completely numb.

Hu Haifeng looked at Jiang Lin again and again, he has always been full of confidence in his creative strength, before that, in the face of Jiang Lin, who wrote "Loyal to the Country" and "Don't Say Goodbye", he occupied a psychological advantage, thinking that he was better overall, at least at this stage, he came to the audition to see what kind of music the young Jiang Lin could make, but the result was that his only thought now was what kind of monster this was, he seemed to be only 18 years old, only 18 years old!

Two days have passed in a flash, for many people, such as Jiang Lin himself, such as Li Man, September 16th is undoubtedly a big day of special significance, following "Don't Say Goodbye", the album's second title song "Bad Sister" was officially released today, and at the same time, Li Man's second album "That Summer" will also start pre-sale.

That's right, "that summer", this is the name of Li Man's new album, using the song title as the album title, is a habit that many record companies have, the reason is that this song is the core strength of the whole album and the main theme of the premiere, especially for many second-tier to third-tier singers, because their album publicity funds are extremely limited, and more importantly, the number of good songs is often only one, so it is very necessary to have an eye-catching and easy-to-remember album title, at this time, it is best to use the best song in the album to represent the whole album, It is important to know that a large part of the album has good sales precisely because of such an excellent title song.

However, it is obvious that Li Man's album is completely different, whether it is willful or paranoid, anyway, because of Jiang Lin's reckless cost, any of the ten songs in his album can be called of good quality, and the song style is diverse, making it difficult to choose a so-called best song, and at the same time, none of the songs can completely highlight the concept of "youth".

After thinking about it, everyone finally decided on the album title "That Summer", which can refer to the season, or as a certain period of time in the past, with a sense of nostalgia and memory, in a certain way, it undoubtedly fits the lyrics of the six songs of "The Quiet Sea That Summer", "Don't Say Goodbye", "Wild Son", "Little Lucky", "Grandma's Penghu Bay", and "Wish", on the whole, it is also very compatible with the theme of "youth".

Since it was the day when "Bad Sister" was officially released, Jiang Lin also stopped what he was doing, went out shopping, and personally inspected the warm-up effect of the song while relaxing.

Walking alone on the bustling and lively commercial street, Jiang Lin looked comfortable, since he was reborn, he rarely had such a comfortable time, and it can be expected that with his increasing awareness, such opportunities will only become less and less in the future, and then he can only go abroad for vacation like other domestic stars.

There is a saying that only when you lose can you cherish it, but since you know that you are destined to lose it in the future, he will naturally not wait until it has been lost to start cherishing and enjoy the current time.

What's more, he was really busy during this time, not only to guide Li Man to record, after the recording of each song, but also to carry out post-production and mixing, and also to sharpen his singing skills, guitar and piano playing and singing, the whole person was tired like a dead dog, when he changed to the original time and space, he had already given up, and now that the album production is tending to be completed, it is time to relax and relax.

When he came to a large commercial plaza, Jiang Lin's footsteps finally stopped, looked left and right at the flow of people coming and going in and out of the mall or passing through the square, and finally fell on the LED display screen above the main entrance of the mall, waiting quietly, and ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye.

"Now I bring you a song written by Jiang Lin, sung by Li Man, and included in Li Man's new album "That Summer", "Bad Sister".

A loud and clear voice sounded in the area in front of the main entrance of the commercial plaza, and the words "Jiang Lin" and "Li Man" instantly attracted the attention of some people, who looked up at the big screen.

The dynamic rhythm of the music sounded first, and then Li Man's singing voice naturally drifted into people's ears.

"Ahah

Hmmm

Ahh

Hmmm

Is the otaku absent? Aha (in)

It's a bit stupid to look at your stupid look

Does the goddess love or not? Aha (Love)

My sister likes you to be so cute

Are otaku well-behaved? Aha(good)

Don't hide at home and wait for the peach blossoms to bloom

The blood groove is full to see your table

I'll give you a hundred thumbs up

Sister is a bit bad

But you have to worship

Momo, Mo."

Hearing the lyrics of "Bad Sister", which was full of bad taste, more people couldn't help but look up suddenly, and when they saw Jiang Lin's version of the MV copied from Xiao Xiami, they suddenly stopped.

Brainwashing melody, ear-catching lyrics, eye-catching MV, what kind of effect will be achieved when these three are combined? Looking around and looking at the many pedestrians, especially the young male pedestrians smiling or stunned or with their eyes shining, Jiang Lin knew that he had succeeded, and sure enough, as he expected, the unique charm of "Bad Sister" would attract many fans for Li Man.

Smiled, without waiting for the MV to finish, Jiang Lin walked straight into the mall, the charm of fast song and dance music can often only be fully felt by watching the scene or MV, in order to form a publicity effect, Hanhai Records carefully selected 15 commercial plazas to play the MV of "Bad Sister".

However, out of consideration of the hunger effect, according to his strategy, he did not put the MV of "Bad Sister" on the Internet, but only put the sound source, and asked the staff of the publicity department to drive the rhythm on the Internet, praising how good the MV of "Bad Sister" was as a pedestrian passing by the commercial plaza.

Several media outlets that have worked closely with Hanhai Records naturally reported on the MV of "Bad Sister" as soon as possible, and attached pictures of the MV playing in the commercial plaza and the names of 15 commercial plazas.

Under Jiang Lin's operation, all 15 commercial plazas are free to play the MV of "Bad Sister", not that he has much power, but based on the marketing thinking of the original time and space in 2016, this cooperation between the two sides can be said to be an advertising replacement, which can help each other in publicity.

There is no doubt that Jiang Lin's publicity strategy quickly played a role, after learning that Li Man's new album released the second song composed by Jiang Lin, many people who already liked Jiang Lin and Li Man couldn't wait to flock to the Internet, aside from the MV, just talking about the song itself, "Bad Sister" is obviously an out-and-out good song, the brainwashing melody makes people can't help humming, such a song naturally makes Li Man, let Jiang Lin get more people's like.

After learning that the MV of "Bad Sister" was very exciting, for a while, people who were also taken for granted had a strong curiosity, and then learned that the MV could only be seen by buying an album in addition to 15 commercial plazas and possible TV shows.

Of course, the strong curiosity stimulated by the MV of "Bad Sister" is just an incentive for fans to book enthusiastically, and more importantly, after releasing two good songs "Don't Say Goodbye" and "Bad Sister" one after another, fans have already had a strong sense of anticipation for Li Man's new album "That Summer".

When the time came to the next day, Jiang Lin also got the sample disc of "That Summer", and after making sure that there was no problem, Li Man's album production was all completed. Zixiu, he is very satisfied, although he made a lot of mistakes during the period, and the album itself is not perfect, but for the first time, it is inevitable not to make mistakes, isn't the so-called experience accumulated in the process of making mistakes? So it's not scary to make mistakes, it's important that he grows during this time, and with this experience, he is confident that he can do better next time.

If you are not satisfied, the most dissatisfying thing is that in the end, he did not spend all the 1.2 million production costs.

Flipping through the production bill, the biggest expenditure is that he and Ji Chengshan's remuneration, song copyright purchase, and MV shooting are 200,000, 250,000, and 200,000 respectively, followed by the cost of arrangement, band accompaniment, and dance direction, which are 100,000, 90,000, and 30,000 respectively, and then count other expenses such as costumes and mastering.

This is also because the remuneration of the production zuò is two, the MV has been filmed three, the arranger, bass and others are recognized as good players in the industry, otherwise they can't even spend 600,000, and some kind of Cheng dù looks at, the cost of 1.2 million is undoubtedly a lot.

But then again, is the cost of 1.2 million really too much? The content of the three MVs couldn't be simpler, and the time was limited, the MVs for songs such as "Promise" and "Little Lucky" were not filmed, and the recording was also done in Hanhai Records' own studio, and the most important thing is that the package price of his ten songs is only 250,000, if it weren't for the follow-up album share, it would be a loss.

But no matter what, everything that should be done has been done, and now he just has to wait quietly for the album to be released and get his own songs to redeem huàn rewards.
