Chapter 48: Zhang Lei's Request for Help (2)

() Today's collection has risen by 5, the total has been 198, I hope it will exceed two hundred tomorrow!) οΌ‰

(In the last few days, I've been working on the codeword whenever I'm free.) But hand speed can't improve much anyway. Alas, I don't know if you guys have any way? οΌ‰

――――――――――

"I did it!"

Zhang Lei gently put down the small spoon, and his voice was very soft, but very firm.

Ye Zi smiled faintly: "Have you thought about it?" ”

"I've figured it out."

Zhang Lei nodded slightly, then picked up the cup and poured a sip of coffee fiercely, let out a long breath, and put down the cup, as if he had put down some baggage.

"Actually, there's no need to think about it so much! I've just turned 23, and I'm not 33 or 43! ”

Zhang Lei waved his hand vigorously, and then spread his hands straight.

"Even if you can't make a name for yourself in the future, the money will be spent, and even if you owe a lot of money for it, so what? At least I've worked hard for my dream! Struggled! It's a big deal, just start all over again! ”

"Good!" Ye Zi patted his hands: "If you have this kind of courage and determination, then you don't need to say anything more, I'll help you!" ”

Zhang Lei patted the table lightly, leaned back on the chair, and said with a smile: "Ha, I've made up my mind and feel comfortable!" Xiao Yezi, then I'll leave all my affairs to you. Tell me, what do you need me to do? ”

――――――――――

"Let's take a few steps." Ye Zi leaned over the table and raised two fingers: "The first step, I'll prepare two songs for you first, but I'll record one to try it out, and if the effect is good, we'll continue." This way, the cost won't break your budget. ”

"By the way, how high is your pitch limit? I know that you can sing the high C and the D high? ”

Zhang Lei thought for a while: "It's not okay to keep the tone long, three beats is the limit of what I have sung, if it is a short note, there will be no problem." ”

"Hehe, that's good."

Zhang Lei's answer was not much different from Ye Zi's prediction: "Have you tried how high the highest note can be sung?" You don't need to hold the tone, as long as the short tone of the burst can be touched. ”

"Then I haven't tried it yet." Zhang Lei was scratching his head again: "Anyway, I can sing Zhao Chuan's song in a key, and Zhang Yusheng's song is no problem." ”

"That's it・・・・・・" Ye Zi thought about it for a while: "Then it's not a big problem." Your voice should be relatively durable, just sing it a few times when recording. ”

Raising his head, Ye Zi faced Zhang Lei: "I have two songs here, one is written in Zhao Chuan's style, which is very suitable for you; There is also a song that will be a little difficult for you, but it is very good. I'll give you both of these songs. Let's do the Zhao Chuan-style song first, you can play more comfortably. ”

"Good! I listen to you. Zhang Lei suppressed his excitement and also leaned over the table.

――――――――――

"Once you have a new song, the second step is to arrange it. I'll do this, you don't have to worry about it. All you have to do is learn the song and practice it well, and I'll write the score to you later. ”

As he spoke, Ye Zi took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Lei, lit the cigarette and continued: "The third step is to record. I'll arrange this place, as for the sound engineer・・・・・・"

"If you can trust me, I'll record it for you. Of course, if you're not at ease, I'll find you someone else. Ye Zi spit out smoke and said with a smile.

Zhang Lei was surprised: "You still record?" So what other sound engineer are you looking for? It's up to you! If you record me, I can relax a little. ”

"The last time I went to an audio-visual company to record a collection of red songs, the recording engineer almost scolded me to death, saying that I was out of tune. CAO! If you go out of the voice, why do you scold so badly? ”

Zhang Lei looked palpitating.

"Hehe, sound engineer, it's inevitable to have a big temper." Ye Zi chuckled softly: "Then it's decided." I haven't been recording for a long time, and my hands are itching, so I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity. But Zhang Lei, don't worry, although I recorded it for you, the teacher who taught me the recording will also be there to stare at it, but he is the one among the recording engineers in Shencheng! ”

As he spoke, Ye Zi proudly cocked his thumb and gestured: "There will be no problem." ”

Zhang Lei was really relieved at this moment, and nodded again and again with a smile: "Of course I'm relieved, of course I'm relieved!" And what about the cost? You can tell me how much you need, and you don't have to save me money. ”

"You've got a lot of money, don't you?" Ye Zi asked playfully.

"Ugh! ・・・・・・" Zhang Lei scratched his head again in embarrassment.

Ye Zi chuckled, and then said, "We'll talk about the cost last." After the recording, I can also find someone to arrange the radio charts and TV programs for you. However, this aspect is not directly related to me, I need to understand others, and I am not 100% sure. ”

"Well, it's fine. I'll also go to Tongtong Zituo to see if there is a relationship in this regard. Zhang Lei nodded excitedly.

"That's for the best." After playing the cigarette ash, Ye Zi continued: "I can find someone to arrange these things for recording songs and playing on the list, but I can't help you with the signing of the record company, I hope that there will be interested companies coming to you after the new song hits the list." ”

"If you don't have you for a while, don't worry, you can take the song to Guangdong Province to see. Their development is a little better than that of Shencheng, and you can look for opportunities while performing. ”

"By the way, this is a good opportunity as well. If you can make it to the finals in Xiangjiang, the record companies in Xiangjiang and Taihai will send scouts to watch it, and there are a lot of opportunities. ”

――――――――――

This preliminary plan for the development of the music industry is very reasonable, Zhang Lei has no objections, he is now completely immersed in reverie and longing for the future.

But Ye Zi knew that it was very unlikely that this matter would be smooth sailing. However, Zhang Lei had just made up his mind after Ye Zi's temptation, and it was not appropriate to hit his confidence again at this time.

"Next, let's talk about the timing."

Ye Zi continued the topic just now: "Zhang Lei, how long does it take for you to fully master a new song?" What I mean is not that you can sing, but that you have to basically dig out the connotation of the song, master the handling of the song, and so on. ”

"Three days should be about the same." Zhang Lei thought for a while: "I still learn new songs quite quickly, and I usually sing them after two or three times." ”

"Well, that's good." Ye Zi took out a notebook and pen from his backpack, and said while recording: "Today is the 29th, tomorrow I will call to ask about the schedule of the recording studio, try to record the new song next week, if it doesn't work, it will be arranged in about 10 days, in short, you must finish recording your new song before the finals." ”

"Don't be in such a hurry, right?" Zhang Lei asked: "Is it too late to arrange the music in such a hurry?" ”

Ye Zi snuffed out the cigarette butt with a smile: "The orchestration and arrangement are all ready-made, don't worry." I suggest that you use a new song to participate in the finals, and the effect may be a little better. ”

"Not necessarily, right?" Zhang Lei hesitated: "Hey, the new song, if the judges can accept it, of course it is better, if they can't accept it, it will be counterproductive, I'm a little worried about this." ”

Ye Zi smiled and didn't insist: "Then you should prepare the songs for the competition first, and then you can decide whether to change the song or not after the new song is recorded." ”

"That's a way, so let's do it."

"Okay, let's discuss the schedule after we finish recording the list and the show, and I'll take you to meet some people when the time comes." Ye Zi closed the notebook and took a sip of coffee: "Finally, let's talk about the cost this time." ”

"You say." Zhang Lei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looking slightly nervous.

Ye Zi snickered in his heart, and he didn't say anything: "I'll tell you the same." ”

"The first is the cost of creating the song, including the lyrics and songs. The songwriters of these two songs for you this time are both me, and I decided to ・・・・・・"

Speaking of this, Ye Zi deliberately paused.

Zhang Lei's throat twitched.

"・・・・・・ for free!" Ye Zi said very softly.

"What?" Zhang Lei was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ye Zi with wide eyes and disbelief: "Little Yezi, what did you say?" Give it to me for free? ”

"That's right." Ye Ziqiang suppressed a smile and said seriously: "You are my friend, why am I embarrassed to accept your money?" ”

"That won't work, that won't work!" Zhang Lei hurriedly said: "I just said, the cost should be as much as it is, you don't charge money, what kind of ・・・・・・ is this!" ”

Ye Zi finally laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, it's up to you to be in a hurry!" It's just two songs, why are you pushing back and forth like this? If I say it's for you, it's for you. ”

After laughing, Ye Zi said sincerely: "Some of the words I said earlier just want to test whether you have the courage and confidence to take the road of singing." Since you have this idea and this determination, then of course I will try my best to help you if I can, so don't push it anymore. ”

"I ・・・・・・" Zhang Lei couldn't go on after only saying one word, and he looked excited.

"Okay, okay, stop chirping crookedly, this is not like you, Zhang Lei." Ye Zi smiled lightly: "The new song is free, and I will also help you get the arrangement and orchestration, which is also free." Haha, don't be too happy just yet, I did ・・・・・・ conditionally. ”

"I will agree to any conditions." Zhang Lei took a deep breath and calmed the waves in his heart.

has been in the night market for half a year, and my understanding of the entertainment industry is no longer in the fog. In this seemingly glamorous circle, deceit and intrigue are staged at any time. It is not uncommon to stab brothers in the back, but it is rare to hear of a charcoal in the snow like Ye Zi. I am really lucky! It is normal for Ye Zi to put forward conditions, no matter what, he will definitely agree. I believe that Ye Zi will never harm himself!

"I'll talk about this later・・・・・・ let's talk about it later, okay?" Ye Zi lit a cigarette again and said with a smile: "Anyway, I won't sell you." ”

"Good! Even if it is a deed of sale, Lao Tzu has signed it! ”

Zhang Lei's feelings quickly calmed down and restored to his original appearance. However, the end of his speech trembled slightly, and his voice rose slightly.

"Then let's move on."

"You need to use an electric guitar in terms of orchestration, haha, if you're lucky, you don't have to spend money on this, I'll record it for you directly." Ye Zi's tone was relaxed: "But the next part is not something I can say, you have to be ready to pay for it." ”

"No problem, no problem." Zhang Lei hurriedly said: "There should be as much as it should be, no need to ・・・・・・"

"Hey, hey, hey, it's here again, right?" Ye Zi deliberately sneered: "Then do you want me to add the previous lyrics and music fees, arrangement fees, and electric guitar recording fees to you?" ”

"I ・・・・・・" Zhang Lei was speechless again, his face flushed.

"Zhang Lei, the road of singing is not easy to walk!" Ye Zi didn't smile anymore, and said earnestly: "In the future, it would be better if you could sign a contract with a large company, there will be someone in charge of your affairs, and your monthly living expenses are also a lot, enough for your monthly expenses; If you can't sign a contract with the company, it's a lot of pressure to rely on your own performances to make money! ”

"There are countless places where you can use your money in the future. The cost of hitting the charts of radio stations in various places alone is not a small amount, and you also need to send the tapes yourself. If you calculate the cost of buying a tape and the cost of sending it, you will know how much it will cost, so try to save a little if you can! ”

After a slight pause, Ye Zi relaxed his tone, spread his hands and smiled: "Besides, what is the use of friends?" Friend・・・・・・ isn't it used to exploit at such times! ”

β€œCAO! It made Lao Tzu startled. Still want your songwriting fee? Dream on! Zhang Lei's eyes were slightly red, and he raised his middle fingers viciously towards Ye Zi.

Ye Zi laughed, Zhang Lei laughed, and both of them felt that the distance between them was a little closer.
