Ye Zi's first album will be officially released in Heung Kong in mid-June this year, and will then be released as a Heung Kong record in mainland China. This time may be slightly adjusted, perhaps until the end of June or early July, but at the latest.

Because of the preservation of "About 903", Huaxing Records specially arranged for Chen Yichen's first album to be released simultaneously with Ye Zi, which was also released in Xiangjiang first, and then introduced to the mainland. At that point, the rivalry between the two will be in full swing. After the album is released, the previous qiē will be a thing of the past, no matter how good the competition results and the high on-demand rate ranking, if these achievements on paper cannot be translated into living album sales figures, it will be just empty talk!

For Ye Zi and Chen Yichen, the two most potential rising stars in the Shencheng and Xiangjiang music circles, this will also be the real test they are about to face.

It's early April, and the album is just over two months away. All the qiē is carried out in an orderly manner, and the results achieved are quite satisfactory. Ye Zi completed all the things in this promotion, and shifted the focus of his work to Sister Mei's album plan.

On the afternoon of coming to Xiangjiang, Ye Zi had already met with Sister Mei, and the two initially exchanged some views on each other's album plans.

It should be said that Sister Mei is very satisfied with the plan made by Ye Zi, but for some details, Sister Mei is very strict here, and she will not retreat unless Ye Zi can come up with a good reason to convince Sister Mei.

At half past seven o'clock the next night, Ye Zi finished the last interview, hurriedly put on a little stuff and went downstairs to the café on the second floor of the hotel, where Sister Mei and Brother Keny were already waiting.

"Xiao Yezi, this album we Huaxing will definitely invest enough money to carefully make zuò, but ...... I don't think it's a good idea to make this album into a fever record. I'm the director of Huaxing, and I'm definitely going to take into account the financial balance. Brother Keny asked.

Brother Keny said it politely, and Sister Mei directly began to accuse: "Xiao Yezi, your idea is a bit of a waste of money and money, isn't it okay to ensure that the recording quality of the album is as good as possible." Why do you have to make a zuò into a fever record? ”

Speaking of the plan for the new album, Sister Mei was unceremonious and said whatever came to mind. In Ye Zi's plan, the album will be made into a standard fever record. The price was raised to issue it, which attracted different views from the two big brothers and sisters.

This is the last detail that everyone discussed tonight. These things had to be resolved before the album was made.

At this time, it was close to ten o'clock in the evening. The third cup of coffee in front of Ye Zi had bottomed out, and the ashtray was already full of cigarette butts. Sister Mei and Brother Keny also had a trace of tiredness on their faces, but the eyes of the three of them were still bright and energetic.

This exchange between the three of them is full of quarrels, breaks, quarrels, rests, compromises (gaining the upper hand), and reaching consensus (convincing each other). All three of them had slapped the table and yelled at each other, so that the waiters at the café had to come and stop them. However, no matter how strong the tone of the argument is, everyone is expressing their thoughts and opinions from the perspective of the album and not about the people.

In the disagreements between the two sides, most of them were Ye Zi who persuaded Sister Mei and them with enough reasons, and some of them were discussed and discussed, and Ye Zi agreed with Sister Mei and Brother Keny. There are still a small number of problems that do not affect the overall idea of the album, and Ye Zi simply does not argue. chose to accommodate Sister Mei and Brother Keny's opinions in order to solve the problem quickly.

But fever records are very important, and it is impossible for Ye Zi to accommodate them.

"Sister Mei, Brother Keny, I still insist on my opinion."

For this album temporarily named "Woman Flower", Ye Zi has some ideas of his own. In his previous life, Ye Zi had carefully studied Sister Mei's album of the same name.

The album was made with great care and excellence in all aspects, but the album itself had some problems, so the final sales were not particularly satisfactory.

That's a pity. Ye Zi doesn't want this album in this life to repeat the mistakes of his previous life.

You must know that this is Sister Mei's comeback album, if the results are not good, not only Sister Mei will have no face, but even Brother Keny, the flower star director, will be affected to a certain extent, after all, he agreed to let Ye Zilai serve as the producer of this record. Such a result is not what Ye Zi wants to see.

After careful research. Ye Zi found that the power point of that album was a bit off, and the intention of the album was more reflected in the arrangement of the album's songs. Bao Pida, Lun Yongliang, He Guojie, Tu Ying, Zhong Xingmin, these five are all outstanding arrangers, and they handle every song on the album extremely appropriately and excellently.

But to put it mildly, the quality of the ten songs on the album itself can only be considered average. What can make Ye Zi look at it is only "Woman Flower" and "Moonlight". And Sister Mei's singing is obviously not up to standard, she failed to sing the taste of some songs, such as those two good songs with a bit of jazz feeling.

That's a bit of a pity.

Ye Zi didn't know what the people who made zuò at that time thought, but he must change this situation.

How?

First of all, the first point is to change Sister Mei's singing method slightly, so that her voice is stable in her most beautiful and durable midrange and bass area. Sister Mei's voice will be a little strange when singing Chinese songs, the voice in the middle and low registers is beautiful and beautiful, but once she sings in the high register, her voice immediately becomes flat and fried, to be honest, it is a little ugly. But when singing Cantonese songs, Sister Mei's voice is relatively uniform from top to bottom. This is very strange.

All things considered, Ye Zi believes that this problem has a lot to do with the difference in the pronunciation of Chinese songs and Cantonese songs.

To this end, Ye Zi will ask Sister Mei to focus on practicing the voice change control zhì in the middle and high registers when singing Chinese songs, so that the overall cohesion of the voice is smoothly balanced. On the other hand, Ye Zi will strictly control the source of singing - song creation, and replace a few more suitable songs, so that the ten songs of this album are more in line with Sister Mei's singing skills and timbre.

However, this first point can be put aside for the time being, and left for the song selection and song recording to discuss slowly. It's really not good, Ye Zi will cover all ten songs, that's not a big deal, Ye Zi has a lot of candidate tracks here.

The second point is that it relates to the issue that is now being discussed.

"It's still good to make an album as a fever record, and it will be a good selling point. Sister Mei made a comeback to the music scene with a well-made fever album, and such sincerity and selling points will have a great role in promoting the future sales of this album. ”

"I'm sure you two must be aware of this." Ye Zi swallowed smoke in his mouth, and slowly said his thoughts, trying to convince the two people in front of him.

"Sister Mei, Brother Keny, I know that the main reason why you oppose the production of zuò fever records is that it involves financial problems, and Sister Mei said that I have lost my money and money, right?" Ye Zi laughed at himself to ease the atmosphere: "But what if you don't need to increase the financial investment in the album?" Would you still object to me doing this? ”

"Don't increase your capital investment? No way! ”

"Little leaf, don't be kidding!"

Brother Keny and Sister Mei said at the same time.

Ye Zi was very calm in his heart, Xiao Qi had already given him a guarantee just now, according to The/One/Studio's existing equipment, Ye Zi and Ah Kun worked together to produce a standard audiophile-grade record at a normal record cost. Of course, it is inevitable that Xiao Qi will have to make a move or two.

This is where Ye Zi's confidence lies.

"Sister Mei, Brother Keny, we might as well give it a try." Ye Zi said with a smile: "Brother Keny, you will allocate the funds according to the normal album, and I will discuss and solve the matters related to the recording and production with Brother Kun." Wouldn't it be a good thing if you could make a fever record with a normal amount of funds, and Sister Mei announced her return as the king with such a rare fever record in the pop music world? ”

"Sister Mei, Brother Keny, what do you say?" (To be continued.) )
