Chapter 806: Huang Zhijian's conditions
Huang Zhijian's conditions are not too high, and he hopes that Ye Zi can find time to record an album for them and serve as the producer of the album with him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIn return or in exchange, Huang Zhijian promised on the spot that the "Magnolia Band" was willing to undertake the recording of all the real bands in Ye Zi's second album for free.
Of course, this is a good thing for Ye Zi, according to the price difference between the two, Huang Zhijian is obviously at a loss. This is Shencheng instead of Xiangjiang, Ye Zi's recording and producer can't afford such a high price, but every member of the "Magnolia Band" in the recording studio is the highest level in Shencheng, especially Huang Zhijian's electric guitar, the asking price is at least 1000 tracks, no matter how it is calculated, Ye Zi has taken a big advantage. However, for Huang Zhijian, he is very willing to use such preferential conditions in exchange for Ye Zi's help, and this decision was agreed by all members of their "Magnolia Band".
The "Magnolia Band" headed by Huang Zhijian has been established for three years, and there are still two years left in the embryonic stage before that, and the lead guitarist and vocalist Huang Zhijian is the only "old man" who has stayed from the band's embryonic period to the present, and he has a deep affection for this band. In the past five years, the band has successively composed and published six or seven works, each of which has been loved and welcomed by fans in Shencheng, and the band's popularity has also increased day by day. At this stage of development, the overall style of the band has been fully established and stabilized, and it is indeed time to release an album.
For this purpose, Huang Zhijian and several band members have been preparing for the album since the beginning of this year.
At present, fifteen alternative tracks have been prepared, and ten songs will be selected to form this album; 150,000 yuan has also been raised, and they are ready to spend 100,000 yuan on album recording and 50,000 yuan on MTV shooting. For the recording of this album, Huang Zhijian and the band's keyboardist "Little Bell" are both "big killing", both of them have doubled their arrangement fees, and Huang Zhijian has more than doubled his composition costs, so that all the funds needed to record this album can be raised in a relatively short period of time.
ā¦ā¦
When everything was ready, they thought about the sound engineer side.
In the past, when recording a sample of a work, you could just start it without thinking too much about the quality. Now it's time to make the album seriously, and if you don't have a good recording engineer, the quality of the recording will not meet your requirements, and even if the album is finally recorded, it will be a terrible thing.
In March and April this year, Huang Zhijian visited Mr. Lu Zheng for this matter, but after thinking about it, Mr. Lu politely declined Huang Zhijian's request. Mr. Lu admits that the recording of rock songs is not his area of expertise, and he doesn't want to delay the recording quality of this album for his own reasons.
Huang Zhijian is very grateful to Mr. Lu Zheng for his honesty and character, but in this way he is a little blind. Mr. Lu Zheng is reluctant to take over the recording of the album, Mr. Zhang Chuanjie of the audio-visual company is also not good at recording the distinctive music style of rock and roll, and Mr. Hu Zhengyuan of the TV station is very sure of the recording of folk music and folk songs, but his level is at least one or two grades lower if he changes to other styles. These are already the best recording engineers in Shencheng, and none of them are qualified to record this album, let alone other candidates.
At one point, Huang Zhijian once considered inviting a recording engineer from Yanjing to come over, which is the base camp of Chinese rock, and the recording engineers who are good at recording rock and roll are basically gathered there. However, after inquiring about the news, Huang Zhijian had to give up this idea, the price of those recording engineers leaving Yanjing to record albums for others was frighteningly high, at least two or three times higher than their local asking price in Yanjing, plus the recording engineer's food, housing and transportation expenses during the recording in Shencheng, Huang Zhijian's budget was probably not enough to spend all the money, and the studio fee of the recording studio has not been included.
Of course not.
Huang Zhijian has been worried about this matter for several months, and he had already reached an agreement with Ye Zi and Cui Zhengguang when Ye Zi asked him to help with the "Lighthouse Project".
After the recording studio was completed, what Huang Zhijian lacked was a suitable recording engineer.
At that time, Huang Zhijian also considered Ye Zi, but at that time, he was completely uncertain in his heart, so he just mentioned it casually and did not express a strong will.
After Ye Zi's new album was released, Huang Zhijian was surprised and delighted to find that Ye Zi's current recording technology was fully capable of recording their album. In fact, each of them had at least two copies of Ye Zi's first album, one was a gift from Ye Zi, and the other was purchased by themselves for Ye Zi's support. After listening to the album very carefully, every member of the band was completely satisfied with the style and composition of the album, but they unanimously praised the recording quality of the album.
As for whether Ye Zi is suitable for such a distinctive style as rock, Huang Zhijian is not worried, even if Ye Zi has not tried to record rock type songs, everyone can slowly grind it in the studio, as long as the two sides communicate well, there will not be too much of a problem. This is difficult for Mr. Lu Zheng and Mr. Zhang Chuanjie to do, because the age relationship determines that they may not be very interested in rock type songs, and the barriers to communication between each other will be artificially magnified. At the beginning, Mr. Lu Zheng politely refused Huang Zhijian's invitation, maybe there was this consideration.
However, this point will definitely not be a problem here in Ye Zi, everyone is a friend in themselves, they get along with each other very well, and there will be no artificial obstacles in communication. And it can also be seen from Ye Zi's album that his music style is not completely fixed, and the problem of not being able to accept rock songs should not exist.
After such an analysis, Ye Zi was invited to record an album for them, and a consensus was reached within the band.
Huang Zhijian had long wanted to talk to Ye Zi about this matter, but Ye Zi was very busy for the next period of time, and flew to Xiangjiang with a little free time, and Huang Zhijian simply postponed this matter.
As soon as he heard that Ye Zi needed to record the Quanzhen Band this time, Huang Zhijian immediately took the opportunity to put forward his own conditions, and he believed that Ye Zi would definitely agree.
ā¦ā¦
Will Ye Zi agree?
After thinking about it again, Ye Zi still agreed.
At present, in the Shencheng music scene, if Ye Zi wants to record the Quanzhen band, the "Magnolia Band" must be the best choice, every member of the band is a skilled and experienced singer, and it is even more common for them to record in the studio, and the recording effect can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
For this alone, Ye Zi could not help but seriously consider the conditions proposed by Huang Zhijian.
In addition, Ye Zi himself is also very interested in recording rock and roll, which Huang Zhijian is not wrong in their analysis. In fact, Ye Zi believes that if Mr. Lu Zheng is ten years younger, he will definitely be very interested in this work, and no young recording engineer can easily refuse the lure of recording rock.
Ye Zi couldn't refuse either.
What's more, the quid pro quo proposed by Huang Zhijian was extremely beneficial to Ye Zi, and Ye Zi would of course be inclined to agree. It's just that Ye Zi's work arrangements in the second half of the year have been a lot, and Ye Zi doesn't want to be too nervous about the time, so he thought about it for a while.
But...... Ye Zi couldn't refuse such an opportunity ruthlessly after all.
Huang Zhijian finally had the last laugh. (To be continued.) )
