Chapter Twenty-Four: Hanhai Records
After passing the three examinations of the Department of Literature, there is naturally no pressure on the re-examination of the Department of Management in the afternoon, and unlike the Department of Literature, the school examination of the Department of Management only has two rounds of preliminary examination and re-examination, the preliminary written examination and the re-examination interview.
The more relaxed the person's mentality, the more often the exam can be done well, and Jiang Lin, who is easy to go into battle, fully shows his eloquence.
At this point, Jiang Lin's whole person was completely relaxed, and sure enough, his name was among the three examination lists of the Department of Literature and the re-examination list of the Department of Management, and he had to sue Xia Bing and others as soon as possible.
"You're going to leave Yanjing soon, how about you come to visit our company before you come to visit?" Xia Bing's voice rang on the phone.
"Visiting Hanhai Film and Television? No, I'm not ready to set foot in the entertainment industry yet, let's talk about it after the college entrance examination is over! Jiang Lin was naturally a little tempted by Xia Bing's suggestion, but after thinking about it, he finally chose to give up, and now he cares most about activating the system, where is there any mind to consider entering the entertainment industry.
"Well, by the way, Jiang Lin, do you remember what I told you before that our record company of Hanhai Film and Television was collecting songs for a female singer who was preparing to make her debut? As far as I know, the producers don't seem to be too happy with the songs, and if you want to sell the songs, with the quality of the songs and your status as the creator of "Loyal to the Country", you must be able to sell the songs at a good price. Xia Bing was not reluctant, and said instead.
"Oh, how high can it be fetched?" Jiang Lin's eyes lit up, as long as the price was right, he was naturally very willing to turn the song inventory in his hand into capital for future career development.
"I'm not sure about this, but you can leave the song to me, and I'll try to get you the best price." Xia Bing said with a smile.
"That's it!" Jiang Lin groaned slightly, not because he couldn't believe Xia Bing, but because he didn't want to sell the songs casually, although these songs were not his own hard work, but it was undoubtedly shameful to spoil them, and while selling the songs, he also hoped to give the songs to the right singers.
"If you want to talk to the zuò people in person, I can also try to arrange for you to meet with the zuò people." Xia Bing said again.
"Okay then, that's it, trouble Sister Bing." Jiang Lin no longer hesitated, anyway, he already owed Xia Bing a lot of favors, at most, he would have the ability in the future, so he would be more helpful.
The benefits of being famous are obvious, even if Jiang Lin's fame only comes from "Serving the Country with Loyalty", it does not belong to the real foothold in the music industry, but it also makes him more comfortable to meet Ji Chengshan, a music producer who is making a debut album for Hanhai Records female newcomer Li Man.
"If it weren't for her money, would you come to marry me, why do you have to go, can't stay with me, you are sincere to me, you can't resist the temptation of fame and fortune My boyfriend got married, but the bride is not me, even if there are more tears, no one feels sorry for me for having hands and feet to fight, always want to get something for nothing, what do I do without my money."
"Papapa", accompanied by applause, an exclamation sounded in a recording room of Hanhai Records: "Sing well, Jiang Lin, you can consider being a singer-songwriter." ”
"I think so too." Xia Bing said with a smile on his face.
"Ahem." Jiang Lin coughed lightly: "I said Teacher Ji and Sister Bing, don't joke with me, it's still far from being a singer at my level!" ”
Originally, Jiang Lin thought that he sang well, but after entering the studio, he realized how unbearable his singing was.
"I'm not joking with you, Jiang Lin, you haven't undergone any training, it's not easy to sing like this, not only you, in fact, many new singers enter the studio and can't sing either, you have to know that the studio is a very special place, there is very advanced recording equipment here, any flaws in singing will be captured by the equipment, and then infinitely amplified, which makes it seem that you sing very poorly." Ji Chengshan said with a smile.
"Yes, Jiang Lin, studio singing is completely different from ordinary singing, you can sing like this without learning before, I believe that after a period of study, you will definitely be able to sing better, and singer-songwriters are different from ordinary singers, people don't have such high requirements for singer-songwriters' singing skills, and they care more about music creation." Xia Bing hurriedly said, with an indescribable depression in his heart, if someone else had Jiang Lin's conditions, he would definitely try his best to become a singer-songwriter, and only this guy didn't take it seriously.
"That's right, don't mind your singing skills too much, the most important thing is to have good songs that suit your own conditions, Jiang Lin, you haven't been in contact with the music industry before, so I don't know, in fact, there are not too many singers with singing skills, there are quite a few singers who belong to the sound of repair, as long as you can sing it completely in the recording studio, out of tune, for you to tune it over, the sound is explosive, press it down for you, and guarantee that it can be repaired for you very beautiful and perfect." Ji Chengshan said with a smile.
Jiang Lin chuckled, his predecessor was not clear, but he himself knew, there is a kind of singer called a studio singer, the record of this kind of singer is very different from the scene, listening to the record will feel very beautiful, but the scene of the table is almost miserable, the typical of which is Xiao Yaxuan and the fir band, and many other actors who act and sing are obviously not singing, but after the sound repair and processing in the studio, they can often make people feel that they sing well, such as Huang Jiao Leader and Da Mi Mi, it is not an exaggeration to say, The threshold for becoming a singer is far lower than imagined, and it depends on whether anyone is praised and whether it can be popular.
After laughing, Jiang Lin shook his head directly: "Teacher Ji, Sister Bing, I know what you said, but at present, I just want to prepare for the college entrance examination with peace of mind, and I don't have the idea of debuting as a singer for the time being." ”
To say that he is not interested in becoming a singer at all is absolutely false, Jiang Lin actually fantasized about himself becoming a superstar before, the problem is that he knows how difficult it is for a singer to become popular, not that he has good singing skills, good voice and good looks, there are too many people in this world with good singing skills, good voices and good looks, this is just by looking at the endless variety of music auditions, but how many can really be popular.
In fact, when it comes to the singer level, singing skills are no longer the most important, for example, the Chinese music scene in the previous life, with a large population base and a large number of professional music academies, people with good singing skills in the mainland are absolutely complete in Hong Kong and Treasure Island, but at the level of pop music, the mainland is far inferior to the two, why, because there are many master musicians and makers in other people's treasure islands, because others Hong Kong has a mature entertainment star-making operation system, they don't have good songs, no matter how good their singing skills are, they can only cover other people's, The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, there is no packaging promotion, and no matter how good it is, it is difficult to be known by the public.
In the previous life, such as Jay Chou, Wang Leehom, Tao Zhe, Lin Junjie and others fully proved that as a singer-songwriter, their own creative talent is the most important, even if they do not have excellent singing skills, no outstanding appearance, no amazing voice, as long as there are enough good songs suitable for their voice conditions, they can become well-deserved superstars, and others like Xu Wei, Wang Feng, Fang Datong, Li Ronghao, Zheng Jun, Pu Shu and others, also has its own sky in the Chinese music scene with its excellent creative ability.
This is also why Ji Chengshan and Xia Bing will try their best to build him to become a singer-songwriter, but his family knows his own affairs, in the eyes of Ji Chengshan and Xia Bing, he obviously has outstanding creative ability, but in fact, where does he have any creative talent, relying on nothing more than that he can remember songs from another world, the problem is that compared to the songs he has heard, there are very few songs he can remember.
In addition, it is completely unknown what kind of help the activated system can bring to itself, and therefore, what kind of road to go in the future depends entirely on the activated system, which is difficult to say too sure.
"That's right, it's true, but I'm still Jianyi Jianglin, you practice more singing skills while learning music theory and musical instruments, your voice and appearance conditions are quite good, and you also have excellent creative talent, to be honest, the conditions are so good, it's a pity not to work hard in the direction of singer-songwriters." Ji Chengshan said with a smile.
"Yes, Jiang Lin, you should try hard no matter what, the reason is very simple, it is extremely difficult to become popular as a singer, but there is always hope for trying, it is impossible not to try, and once you succeed, what you can get is incomparable to many other professions." Xia Bing tried hard to persuade Jiang Lin.
"Okay, listen to you, I'll try." Jiang Lin finally smiled and nodded, how to say that others are also kind-hearted, and it will inevitably be rude to resist again, and although he will really consider a way out after activating the system gold finger, he can also prepare early, if the system gold finger is purely looking forward to a game in vain, there are a few songs in his hand that are suitable for his current voice conditions, and then he may be able to give a final fight and try to accumulate capital for future development.
