"That's all there are four?" Looking at the four copies of the music sheet in his hand, Jiang Lin frowned.

"It's not, the company has collected a lot of songs for Li Man, but only these four songs can really be used, and the other songs are of mediocre quality, so you can only pick up the tall one among the short ones and use them to make up the numbers when the album is released." Yu Weijie smiled bitterly.

Jiang Lin didn't reply immediately, but looked at the music sheet in his hand, his brows became tighter and tighter, there are only four songs, the key is that these four so-called carefully selected songs, except for one that is barely a good song, the other three songs can only be said to be able to make do with it, at least it is not a good song in his appreciation, it is simply a dog.

"Director Yu, I haven't really been in contact with the music industry before, and there are some things I don't understand, why can't a record company as big as Hanhai Records receive enough good songs for Li Man? Besides, as a first-class record company, there should be a lot of good songs in stock, but why is it that an album usually only has one or two good and popular songs, and there are so many big singers, and the other songs feel like they are completely indiscriminate. Jiang Lin asked out loud, he was really puzzled by this, how cool it is to have an album full of good songs, but except for the selected albums of big-name singers, there are very few regular albums that achieve this, and often only singer-songwriters can do it.

"Well, these two questions can actually be answered together, first of all, the number of good songs is small, after all, good songs are not achieved overnight, they are often the product of inspiration, a musician can write ten first-class well-known musicians in his entire music career, most musicians can't write a few good songs in their lifetime, so the question is, according to the frequency of singers releasing an album every year, there are so many singers who release albums every year, and there are thousands of songs in demand, how can there be so many good songs in supply."

"No matter how good the works are, they are not left to our record companies to choose, the music circle is big and big, small and small, usually those top songwriters in the circle have a relatively fixed partner, often only to some record companies or some singers to cooperate, once there is a work, will first show their familiar partners, only after the partners determine not to, will flow into other record companies, good songs are scarce, it is conceivable that there are very few good songs flowing out of this way."

"Of course, there are some good works produced by ordinary musicians every year, but these works are all sent to major record companies in addition to the ones they are invited to create, and when you hear this song, the work may have been bought by other record companies or even released an album, not to mention that the quality of the song is difficult to evaluate, due to the different tastes of appreciation, everyone has their own evaluation criteria, so some good songs with a niche style are difficult to be discerned, and so on, so even if it is us large record companies, There are also very few good songs in stock. ”

"Then, a company has so many singers, it is naturally impossible to let a singer occupy all the resources, and then consider the cost of album production, the singer's market positioning, the singer's own voice conditions and singing skills, after layers of screening, there are naturally not many good songs that can be given to a singer."

"In fact, even if there are enough good songs, from the standpoint of the record company, they don't tend to put all the good songs in one album, the reason is very simple, generally the popularity brought by an album is 1-2 years, if all the good songs are put in one album, some songs are easy to be buried, and the singer is popular for a year or two, and then it will soon be out of breath, but if these good songs are distributed to three albums, then the popularity of this singer can undoubtedly last for 4-6 years, and the popularity of the extra few years, Why not bring back more advertising, commercial performances and other income for the record company. ”

"It's actually a strategy of the record company, and in the record era, if you have a popular song on an album, it's a good album; If there are two or three songs that are very popular, it is an excellent work; If there are more hits, it can be called the masterpiece of the year, and there are only three or five albums a year. As a singer, I definitely hope that my album can be remembered for a long time in the future, but the record company obviously cares more about the latter between fame and fortune, you must know that a popular good song can increase album sales, maybe individually, the album sales of good songs scattered are obviously not as good as an all-good song album, but the cumulative sales of several albums are definitely higher than the sales of one album, anyway, except for some singer-songwriters or singers with a strong voice, the number of releases and long-term popularity pursued by the record company are maintained. Yu Weijie Kaikai said.

"Of course, there is only one reason why there are few good songs, and that is that the creative strength of the Chinese music scene is not strong enough, and there is such a saying in the music circle, Japan and South Korea copy Europe and the United States, Hong Kong Treasure Island copies Japan and South Korea, and the mainland copies Hong Kong Treasure Island, and many of our singers' masterpieces belong to cover songs." Speaking of this, Yu Weijie was slightly self-deprecating.

Jiang Lin was silent for a moment, from a rational point of view, he very much agrees with the record company's approach, and the reality is true, after a singer becomes popular, he often releases a lot of albums in a short period of time, I remember that Jacky Cheung, Liming, Sun Yanzi, Jolin Tsai and others are like this, among them, Sun Yanzi, who has a strong personality, is dissatisfied with the record company's practice, terminated the contract with the record company, and established a personal music company, in comparison, only singer-songwriters release films slowly, Jay Chou's speed of one a year is already the fastest among singer-songwriters.

With his own three songs plus the song "Sunny Day" collected by Hanhai Records for Li Man, Li Man's new album will not be worse than most of the albums released by Wang Xinling in the original time and space, as long as the follow-up publicity is strong, the popularity of the song has come up, according to Yu Weijie, it can already be regarded as an excellent album, and I believe that it is not difficult to complete the tasks specified by the system.

His original idea was that if Hanhai Records collected enough good songs for Li Man, he wouldn't take out other songs, so as not to waste songs for rewards, but now the problem is that according to the capacity of ten songs on an album, except for four that can be used at this stage, other songs can only be used in his opinion that the quality of the songs is mediocre, maybe it takes long enough to slowly collect the songs, and he can still receive good songs, but not to say that he doesn't have the time to wait slowly, He also didn't believe how many good songs Guò Hanhai Records' existing way of collecting songs could receive for Li Man, and in the end, he still had to make up the numbers with mediocre quality songs.

For other people, at least the vast majority of people, it is enough to be satisfied with four songs like "The Quiet Sea That Summer", but Jiang Lin is not an ordinary people, as a half-otaku man full of various fantasies, he is naturally unwilling to end his place as a person like this. The journey of the female album, the first time in his life is always so special, and the thought of the album full of songs used to make up the number makes him feel very uncomfortable.

What a cool thing it would be if the album was full of good songs, and if it was your own. Female zuò album will be talked about for a long time to be such an interesting thing, I remember that when I checked Li Zongsheng's information on Baidu Encyclopedia before, Li Zongsheng's brilliant resume as a producer left a deep impression on him, among which the first album of the other party's zuò was among the top 100 albums of the treasure island that included the 1975-1993 eighteen years of golden years, and the ranking was quite high, and another godfather-level figure Luo Dayou was even more amazing, and he made zuò and sang it. The female album "Zhihu Ye" has brought a revolutionary impact to the entire treasure island music scene, ranking first in the top 100 albums.

It's okay if there is no possibility, but since he has the golden finger of the system, he naturally hopes to do more in addition to completing the system tasks.

That's right, with the existing songs, as long as a qiē is carried out smoothly, the album will definitely achieve good sales results, but the status of the album in the albums over the years is certainly not high, after all, the historical status of the album is not only linked to sales and popularity, he also saw a list of the new top 100 albums in Baodao, the selection range is 1995-2005, on that list, several of the top 10 album singers he has never even heard of, among the singers he knows, is as strong as Jay Chou and is not among the top ten, and best-selling albums such as Jolin Tsai, Xiao Yaxuan, SHE, Wang Xinling, and 5566 are nowhere to be found.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lin asked out loud without the slightest hesitation: "Mr. Kang, Director Yu, if I write a few more songs for Li Man, will you consider assigning the songs to Li Man's next album?" ”

"It's better to be like that, it's enough to have these three songs now, and more is a waste, and you can get a higher price then." Hearing that Jiang Lin intended to write songs for Li Man again, Kang Menghui's eyes suddenly became eager, after learning that Jiang Lin had written three good songs in just five days, he also appeared in front of Jiang Lin who did not show up in the morning, and now his attitude towards Jiang Lin has changed dramatically, such outstanding creative ability is definitely what any record company desires.

"That's right, Li Man is a newcomer after all, her album production cost is limited after all, and it is impossible to spend too much production cost on buying songs, if you separate it, the price for Jiang Lin will definitely be much higher." Yu Weijie followed up and persuaded that, as I said before, from the standpoint of the record company, he hoped that Li Man could release more best-selling albums than the excellent quality of one of Li Man's albums.

Li Man bit her lip and looked at Jiang Lin with a nervous expression, it didn't matter if the song was on an album or not, she just cared if there were more good songs.

Ni Mei, Jiang Lin scolded in his heart, these two people were clearly threatening themselves, if they chose to put all the songs in Li Man's new album, they would have to suffer their own losses in terms of price.

Do you want to do that? Jiang Lin had to hesitate, according to his consistent concept, he was naturally unwilling to suffer a loss, after all, it was not a relative, and it was very stupid to sell things that could have been sold at a high price. The female album is full of a large number of songs of mediocre quality, and he immediately gritted his teeth, damn it, what else is there to hesitate, of course making money is important, but in front of the truest pursuit and desire in his heart, what is it.

"I know this, mainly because this is my first album as a producer, I don't want to leave regrets in my heart, I just want to go all out to do a good job of the album, the price can be negotiated slowly, I believe that Hanhai Records such a big record company will definitely not disappoint me, after all, the cooperation between us will not stop at this time." Jiang Lin said with a smile on his face, but his heart was dripping blood, knowing that no matter how much he talked about it, he would not be able to get the price of separating the songs.

"Of course, we at Hanhai Records will never let our friends suffer." Kang Menghui laughed and said, he was not disappointed in Jiang Lin's decision, as long as he could establish a good relationship with Jiang Lin, he would get good songs from him in the future.

"I also think so, Mr. Kang, Director Yu, I need other songs you collect for Li Man's new album, and I will soon start the production of Li Man's new album, I know that you still have more or less doubts about my ability as a producer, but before I am kicked out of the position of producer, I hope that everyone can cooperate with my work in the album production, and I also hope to get more album production fees, for an album that strives for quality, The cost of 800,000 yuan is far from enough. Jiang Lin said in a deep voice.

"Okay, no problem." Kang Menghui readily agreed, if there is no good song, it is just that, after having a good song, it is completely natural to improve the production specifications of Li Man's new album, even if Jiang Lin does not ask for it, Hanhai Records will strive for better album quality within a reasonable range.

"Okay, I'll hurry up and write songs, and officially start the album production in five days, in these five days, I hope that all the people involved in the album production can be in place, especially the arrangers and choreographers." Jiang Lin said in a deep voice. "No problem, don't worry." Kang Menghui readily agreed again.

"Li Man, you are familiar with the songs, and you should hurry up and enjoy the last few days of leisure, because after five days, you will be very busy for a long time." Jiang Lin then turned his head to look at Li Man.

"Okay." Li Man nodded, not only did he not worry about the busyness that followed, but he was extremely eager to try.

"You guy, didn't you hear Director Yu say before that three good songs on an album are enough? We now have the cost of releasing singles, and if there are good songs that should be put on Li Man's next album, we can get more financial returns. "As soon as he walked out of the door of Hanhai Film and Television, Xia Bing didn't have a good airway.

"What do you know, I have a pursuit of good, for ordinary producers, an album with the four songs "Feathers" is indeed enough, but I am not an ordinary producer, who am I, I am Jiang Lin, and these four songs are far from enough for me at the moment." Jianglin Haoqi Yun Trunk Road.

"Come less, don't brag." Xia Bing shook his head with a smile, and fell slightly behind Jiang Lin, the sun that had not yet set in the west at this moment was still exuding brilliant light, and under the illumination of the light, people only felt that this young man who always brought incredible miracles was exuding a brilliant and dazzling light.
