"Ah Hui, let the three of them talk about professional things, let's go over there and talk about our affairs." Putting down the teacup, Mrs. Chen sent an invitation to Wenhui.

Immediately, two equally shrewd and capable women walked to the clean dining table together, Mrs. Chen called the waiter to bring a new pot of tea, and began to discuss the details of the cooperation between the two sides with Wenhui, including the ownership of their respective interests.

These are all things that belong to the scope of things that these agents do.

Here in the hospitality area, Ye Zi, Brother Xueyou, and Ou Dingyu have already chatted.

"Xiao Yezi, my initial vision for this album is like this." Ou Dingyu was the first to speak: "The album will consist of ten songs, most of which are still covered by Cantonese songs from Qizai in the past two years into Chinese songs, which has been done before." Among the four albums that have been released, the results and responses of these cover songs are not bad, which is also Qizai's strength, so I think this can be retained. ”

"On the contrary, in the original works that we pay the most attention to, these albums have not done well, and I think the poor quality of these original works used as the main theme is an important reason why Qizai's Chinese album has not been able to make breakthroughs, at least one of them."

"What do you think?"

Ye Zi pondered for a while, went through the tracks of Brother Xueyou's first four Chinese albums in his heart, and nodded: "Brother Xiaobao, you are right, I support your idea." Brother Xueyou's Chinese albums failed to achieve the desired results, and the original works that were the focus or even the main theme of each album did have problems. ”

"No, no, no, I don't quite agree with you." Brother Xue Youge has a completely different view on this point: "I think that the songs covered are a little wrong, but the original songs make me sing very comfortably." ”

"Qizai, we've discussed this many times."

"But you never convinced me."

Ou Dingyu and Brother Xue You's opinions were different, everyone stared at each other, neither of them would take the initiative to retreat, obviously no one could convince the other.

"Brother Xueyou, Brother Xiaobao, can you listen to me for a few words?" Ye Zi interjected. At this time, the two of them should not be arguing, and there is no point in wasting precious time on such a useless dispute.

Brother Xue Youyou relaxed the nerves on his face, and smiled at Ye Zi: "Xiao Yezi, Xiaobao and I have come down like this for so many years, and if there is a problem, we can quarrel, and it will not affect the friendship and relationship between the two of us." We usually quarrel and quarrel, and when I enter the studio, I listen to him for everything, so you don't have to worry about us. ”

"Brother Xueyou, who doesn't know that you and Brother Xiaobao are golden partners who are one and the same, and they are inseparable from Meng, where do I have time to worry about you two doing this?" Ye Zi rolled his eyes: "I just don't want the two of you to argue about this, there's no point." ”

"Brother Xueyou, I also support Brother Xiaobao's opinion, these Chinese albums are very problematic in the selection of original works to promote the main theme."

"Listen to me first, tell me my reasons." Ye Zi stretched out his hand to stop Brother Xueyou's attempt to argue with him, and continued: "If you think what I said is unreasonable, let's debate again, do you think this is good?" ”

"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Brother Xue Youge concentrated his energy, ready to catch the loopholes in Ye Zi's words at any time, he still didn't want to believe that there was anything too wrong with the title songs of these albums, and the choice of these songs was all approved by his nod.

If these title songs are really problematic as Ou Dingyu and Ye Zi said, doesn't it mean that there is also a problem with their vision?

This, how is that possible!

……

Ye Zi knows that whether he can convince Brother Xue You-this will be one of the key factors in whether this cooperation can go smoothly, and now, it depends on his true ability.

Think of it as a test for application.

After taking a sip of tea, Ye Zi slowly put down the teacup and said, "Brother Xueyou, in fact, in my opinion, you and Brother Xiaobao are right, but from the perspective of making an album, your opinion is a bit unprofessional. ”

"Huh?" Brother Xue is almost suspicious of his ears, not professional enough? This...... Is this talking about me?

Ou Dingyu smiled silently, this time, he finally found an alliance.

"Why do I say that?" Ye Zi asked himself: "Because you look at an album from the perspective of a singer, of course, you will feel that those cover works are fried cold rice, which is not interesting, but original works make you more passionate about creation." Of course, this is true, but it is even more true that Brother Xiaobao looks at the problem from the perspective of a record producer and a record producer. So when it comes to the same thing, the two of you often have diametrically opposed views, and neither of you can convince the other. ”

"But Brother Xueyou, you must know that when making an album, we can only stand from the perspective of producers and producers, so that we can grasp the album as a whole. If we put ourselves in the perspective of the singer, we will only see individual songs one by one, and the overall grasp of the album will seem too trivial and one-sided. ”

"That's what I just said was not professional."

Ye Zi didn't care about Brother Xueyou's already a little ugly face, and still made a summary like this.

Glancing at Ou Dingyu, the other party gave an encouraging look, Ye Zi smiled slightly and continued to say:

"Brother Xueyou, I will now analyze the four Chinese albums you have published before, and first talk about the first album "Love Without Four Returns". In my opinion, this is actually a tentative album, and the production is rather frizzy. Brother Xueyou, you should understand that all the covers from Cantonese songs on this album directly use the accompaniment of Cantonese songs without re-arrangement, which is extremely unprofessional behavior, which should be clear to you, and this kind of song accounts for half of the five songs. The album is used as the main song is the song "Love", Brother Snow Friends, I really don't know why you chose this song in the first place, that is, "My Hand Through Your Black Hair", or "I Want to Call Your Name Every Time" will be much stronger than this "Love". At least from the perspective of the title songs, they are all more impressive than "Amour". ”

"A tentative pathfinder album, the title song is weak, and it is inevitable that it will not achieve good results."

Ye Zi's conclusion was made neatly, and Brother Xueyou's face was much better, and he did not question Ye Zi's statement.

"In the depths of my heart on the second album, to be honest, I personally like this song "In the depths of my heart" very much, Brother Xueyou, your singing is much more natural and smooth than the first album, and your voice characteristics and interpretation style can basically see the context. But as the title song of an album, the style of this song is too bland and not prominent enough to be remembered in the first place. ”

"It's a pity, but the song "In the Heart of Me" itself is indeed a very good and durable work."

"Another point, the production idea of this album is a little unclear, since it is a Chinese album for the Taiwan Strait market, then why mix several Cantonese songs in it? Brother Xueyou, you must know that you were just a newcomer who had just released two albums at that time, and it was not suitable for this kind of mixing and matching style, at that time, your album and your style should be as pure and distinct and prominent as possible, so as to better attract fans. You may not know these things at the time, but the producer should know this, what is he doing? Such a decision is not something a good producer should make. ”

"It took a full 13 songs to make such a four-like album, but in the end it was thankless, and the failure of this album was inevitable."

Ye Zi's tone was obviously sarcastic.

"Well said!" Ou Dingyu rarely cheered loudly for Ye Zi: "Xiao Yezi, what you said is so right, I raised this question with them at the beginning, but no one listened to me, and Qizai himself also recognized this style of mixing and matching." Hey, some people call this self-inflicted! ”

Ou Dingyu's Cantonese album for Brother Xue You, there has never been such a situation of unclear thinking, and of course he will be a little proud.

"Xiaobao, are you begging for a fight?" Brother Xue You, a little "annoyed", but Ou Dingyu was afraid of him, so he just smiled happily.

Brother Xue Youyou was bored, rubbed his head, and laughed himself.

"Brother Xueyou, I'll briefly talk about the next two albums." Ye Zi knew that his analysis of the first two albums had passed, so it was most appropriate to save time and skip this link quickly, without grinding.

"Okay, Xiaoyezi, you say, I'll listen." Brother Xueyou's face has returned to normal.

Ye Zi said eloquently: "When the third album "Confused Love" was published, it was at the low ebb of your career, and it was natural that the results were not satisfactory, and the title songs of this album were a bit vague, and I could hardly hear which one was, which in itself was a failure. ”

"On the fourth album "Déjà vu", it should be said that this attempt is very interesting, the producer uses a theatrical technique to arrange the whole album, from beginning to end a complete emotional scene with the string of songs to form a whole. This attempt should be said to be quite successful, and the songs on the album are also very good, "Good Night. "My Love", "Tomorrow's Promise" and so on are all very good works, and overall, this is the most successful of your four Chinese albums, and I like it very much. ”

"But it still has the phenomenon that the title song is not prominent enough, "Déjà vu" is a duet song, which is very good, very good, and your singing with Miss He Ruhui has also reached a very high level. But...... Duet is a duet after all! It's not that it's okay to use duet as the title song of the album, but it's hard to drive sales of the album. Moreover, this album uses a dramatic technique to do the series, which achieves the overall structure and also loses the characteristics of individual songs, which will also have an impact on the sales of the album. ”

"So it's a shame that the album didn't make it a big hit in the end."

said that it was "to talk about it briefly", but when it came to it, Ye Zi still talked endlessly, and still carefully analyzed the fourth album. After saying this, Ye Zi finally stopped and looked at Brother Xue You.

Soft applause rang out, and Ou Dingyu and Brother Xue Youyou clapped their hands at the same time.

"Xiao Yezi, this album is handed over to you, we are relieved." (To be continued.) )
