Chapter 301: Busy! Busy! Busy! (11)
The singers all listened in silence, and no one was ready to say anything. They don't know much about the preparation and production of an album, and of course they can't say anything decent.
Instead of asking questions, it's better to wait and see what happens.
The teachers are welcome.
The main purpose of Ye Zi inviting them over was for this fundraising activity. Of course, it's better if they're willing to invest a little, and it doesn't matter if they don't want to, with their help to hold down the position, things will go much easier.
Chen Zimo was the first to ask.
In fact, the teachers have already discussed it just now, and all the questions will be asked by Chen Zimo, who is the plenipotentiary representative of the teachers.
"Zhang Lei, I want to know if you have any other alternative works besides these two songs?"
This question was in Zhang Lei's imagination, and he immediately replied: "Mr. Chen, I only have these two songs at present. However, I have already contacted Mr. Huang Zhijian, and he promised to help me write a few songs. There are a few other teachers, and I have also talked to them about the manuscript, and I will soon have the other eight new songs needed for the album. ”
"Huang Zhijian? Oh, it's the captain of Magnolia, right? Well, his work is still quite good. But Zhang Lei, as far as I know, Huang Zhijian's asking price is not low, each song must be at least more than 5,000, can you afford it? Chen Zimo knows a lot about the market, and he asked a very critical question.
Huang Zhijian's works are indeed excellent, and the band "Magnolia" was also a frequent guest on the "Pop Song Chart" in the past. Zhang Lei asked him for a manuscript, and there must be no problem in terms of quality, but as soon as the price goes up, if the only investment in the album production cannot be balanced, the whole plan will have big problems, and if it is not done well, the progress will be lost.
Zhang Lei showed a grateful look.
"I talked to Mr. Huang in detail and introduced him to the details of our Lighthouse Project. Mr. Huang was very supportive and promised to provide me with two songs at a price of 1,500 yuan each. ”
Mr. Huang also offered to provide a song for each of the other eleven singers present today, which is also 1,500 yuan. He was supposed to be here today. It's just that I couldn't come because of something temporary. ”
"Partners, let's applaud Mr. Huang Zhijian's strong support."
Before Zhang Lei's words fell, applause had already sounded.
Charcoal in the snow!
It's definitely a godsend!
These singers all have a strong desire to publish an album. But for the preparation and production of the album, they are almost blind. Finding a songwriter is an extremely important part of the album production process, and it is a big problem for them who have no connections. If he could have found such a songwriter to help, Xie Yun's album might have been published at his own expense by now. Huang Zhijian, a well-known figure in the music world, is willing to help them so selflessly. How can you not make them grateful?
Solve the problem of the source of some new songs, then the album has a solid foundation. This, but it has helped these singers a lot!
The warm applause in the living room was definitely from the heart, and it couldn't be calmed down for a long time, and the news completely ignited the flame called "hope" in the hearts of the singers.
At this time, Zhang Lei poured a spoonful of oil on this fire in a timely manner.
"Guys, I have good news here."
"Mr. Ye Zi, one of the initiators of the Lighthouse Project and a famous singer in our city, has also promised to write a new song for each of you at the same price. Come on, friends, let's give the same applause to Mr. Ye Zi! ”
Zhang Lei's palm pointed straight at Ye Zi, who was sitting in the corner of the living room.
Wow! ~~~
The applause was even louder. Accompanied by bursts of shouts. If it weren't for the presence of a few teachers, these singers would definitely be even crazier.
It's not been a day or two since they were red-eyed!
If Huang Zhijian represents the backbone of the Shencheng music scene that has become famous, then Ye Zi represents the cutting-edge force in the Shencheng music scene. For these singers, paying the same price, Ye Zi's works will undoubtedly be more in line with their hearts.
In just over half a year since Ye Zi's debut, several works launched are all high-quality works. Even if what they get in the future is not as good as what they have now, it will be far better than the works they have asked for without purpose.
This is Ye Zi's recognition with a masterpiece.
Take a look at these songs: "The Sound of the Waves Remains", "Sing If You Want to Sing", "How to Say Love", "Sea and Sky", and the song "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" that Ye Zi sang when he participated in the competition in Xiangjiang, and of course, we can't forget the song "I Wait for the Flowers" that is now playing everywhere on the street.
These songs are either sung by Ye Zi himself. It was still handed over to Zhang Lei and Zeng Chun to perform, and each capital was a great success. For this qiē, these singers who are active in the night show in Shencheng know best.
At present, on the night stage of Shencheng, in addition to those Jiang and Taiwan songs. The most sung mainland pop songs by singers are Ye Zi's works.
This is the best and most direct affirmation! The ears of the audience are the most discerning, and they never listen to the most popular and best works.
This can almost be regarded as a weather vane in the music world.
Huang Zhijian's works became popular at night shows a few years ago, and now there are very few listeners, only the audience occasionally orders one or two songs when they order songs. Ye Zi's works are sung in turn on the stages of various night clubs every day, and the audience is also extremely welcome.
This is enough to illustrate the situation.
Unconsciously. Ye Zi, a new singer who has just debuted for more than half a year, has left the older generation such as Huang Zhijian far behind. In the current Shencheng music scene, his popularity and status in the music world have caught up with the eldest sister Mao Mao in the Shencheng music scene, and it is surging. I believe that as long as Ye Zi maintains such a momentum, the possibility of surpassing Sister Mao Mao in the near future is extremely great.
The news released by Zhang Lei made the atmosphere in the living room lively all of a sudden. Ye Zi also stood up and personally confirmed the reliability of Zhang Lei's news.
The singers were stunned by this succession of good news.
Whether it is Huang Zhijian's works or Ye Zi's works, they are all dreamed of, not to mention that now they can be eclectic. Such good things can hit their heads, in addition to a burst of dizziness from happiness to death, the confidence in their hearts is getting stronger and stronger.
When the noise stopped, Chen Zimo immediately asked another question again.
"Zhang Lei, the source of the album's works has been solved, and the production of the album has been at least half successful, which is very good. I have Xiaoye to help you with song recording, and I have no problem with this. In terms of publicity, Xiao Cui and we have already talked about it just now, and there is no big problem at all. ”
"But how are you going to solve the problem of arrangement? Relying on Ye Zi alone, there is no problem with your album, and when there are many people in the future, he will not be able to keep busy even if he has three heads and six arms. And if more people join in the arrangement of the album, it can also make the music style of the album more varied. ”
"Zhang Lei, I want to hear what preparations you have made in this regard."
Each of these questions raised by Chen Zimo points to the key link of album production, with sharp vision and experience.
Fortunately, Zhang Lei was also prepared for this.
"Teacher Chen, I think about this question like this."
"The first solution is to find existing mature musicians, such as Ye Zi, such as Huang Zhijian, who can arrange other people's works."
Chen Zimo nodded, this is what everyone can think of, he wants to see if Zhang Lei and they have any other solutions.
The singers also listened attentively. Zhang Lei's today is their tomorrow, and they will also encounter these problems in the future, and Zhang Lei's solution is their model.
Zhang Lei continued with confidence.
"The second solution is provided by Cui Zhengguang, which is to find candidates with potential in this area and cultivate them, and eventually form a cooperative relationship. However, this cannot be counted as a song by one, and we plan to talk to them about long-term cooperation in the name of the salon. ”
"Our goal is the newly established pop music department of the Shencheng Conservatory of Music, where there are students who specialize in arranging and arranging. We can sign an agreement with them to provide them with the opportunity to practice and some equipment, and we will also pay them to work with us while they learn. ”
"I think this approach is more in line with the long-term goals of our program."
"By the way, Mr. Chen, we can also cooperate with them in songwriting, which is to supplement the point just now."
Chen Zimo was very surprised.
Although this method is a little slower to work, and these students are not very useful at first, it is better to be safe and solid. If there are no problems in implementation, as long as two or three out of ten students are willing to cooperate with Zhang Lei and them for a long time, there will be no problems in arranging music in the future.
"Good!" Chen Zimo did not hesitate to praise himself: "This is a good idea to solve the problem, have you already contacted them?" ”
"Not yet, we won't be able to contact until after school starts."
"Well, you can go in two days, and if you have any questions, feel free to come to me." Chen Zimo gave his promise. (To be continued.) )
