Coming out of the restaurant, Cheng Peng came to Zhongguancun and equipped a 10,000-yuan computer, because a lot of work needs to be done through the computer.

After moving the computer into his room, he went downstairs to buy two boxes of instant noodles, then closed the door and sat down in front of the computer and started to get busy. For the next ten days, he never went out again, except for going to the bathroom.

After ten days of busy work, after completing all the preparations, Cheng Peng stood up and moved his hands and feet that were so sore. When I looked around, I found that the room was already dirty, and there were boxes of instant noodles everywhere on the floor and table, which looked like a huge garbage heap.

He didn't rush to clean up, walked to the bed, and fell on the bed like a log. For ten days, he only slept three or four hours a day, and he was so tired.

The next morning, Cheng Peng went to the Internet café to check the information and found a recording studio called Chuck and was going to record a song.

Making a movie is a money-burning project, you need money to rent shooting equipment, you need money to film film, you need money to develop the film, light distribution, and post-production after shooting, and the cost is not low.

Why is making a movie NG said to be a waste of film? Because film is very expensive, NG is wasting money. The movies released in the cinema are basically 35mm film, and a 400-foot 35mm film can only be shot for 4 minutes, and the price is 1,500 yuan.

The movie that Cheng Peng is going to shoot is about 90 minutes, and the 90-minute movie is not 22. 5 reels of film are enough. Generally speaking, the ratio of film material to the final film length is 1:10, and the ratio of strict directors like Wang Jiawei will be as high as 1:30, or even 50.

According to the ratio of 1:10, Cheng Peng's film needs 225 reels of film, which is 3375000, which means that the cost of making a 90-minute movie on film alone is nearly 340,000.

So if you want to really make a movie, you can't start it without two or three million, and Cheng Peng doesn't have that much money at all, so he can only make money through other ways, and this way is singing.

Cheng Peng has no plans to release albums and sell records, this is too time-consuming, it takes at least half a year for a record to be released from recording and packaging, he doesn't want to wait for a long time, and he doesn't want to sing so many songs, he wants to use a song to make enough money to make movies in the shortest possible time.

This may sound unlikely, but for Cheng Peng, who has memories of the future, it is possible. In the hospital, his sister's mobile phone ringtone reminded him that there was one easiest way to make money - CRBT.

CRBT is a value-added service launched by China Mobile in early 2003, simply put, when you make a call, what you hear before connecting is not the previous beep, but a piece of pleasant music.

It takes two yuan to download a ringtone, and the sharing method is basically 15% for mobile, 35% for SP business, and 50% for music companies, and sometimes it is slightly adjusted depending on the proportion of the song. That is to say, for every download, the music company can earn 1 yuan, 1 million downloads are 1 million, and 10 million times is 10 million.

The number of 10 million sounds crazy, but it is actually not unusual, after the launch of the mobile ringtone, there are many songs with more than 10 million downloads on the "wireless music chart" every year, and "Two Butterflies" alone has brought tens of millions of profits.

After repeated consideration, Cheng Peng chose the song "Myth". This song is the theme song of the movie "Mythology", and it is also the number one song in the mobile "wireless music chart" ringtone download in 2007. This song has been downloaded more than 15 million times in 07 alone, and it is definitely not a problem to make enough money to make movies through this song. Of course, Cheng Peng has better choices, such as "Two Butterflies", "Who Do You Love", and "Love Trading", which have better results, but he likes the movie "Myth" and the song "Myth".

As for how to write the song, this is no problem for Cheng Peng at all. You must know that Chen Shaoyu is a reading filmmaker, and a reading filmmaker must understand a lot of things, such as photography, lighting, art, and music, because most of the reading filmmakers are very poor, and they don't have much money to invite others, and many things have to be done by themselves, like David Lynch is not only a famous screenwriter and director, but also an excellent TV producer, photographer, cartoonist, composer and calligraphy and painting engraving artist; In addition to being a producer, director and actor, Eastwood often composes soundtracks for his own films.

Chen Shaoyu is the same, many times, a lot of things have to do by himself, although his level of composing music is not high, but there is no problem at all in writing other people's songs, so this is difficult for Cheng Peng.

When the fat boss of the recording studio saw Cheng Peng, he immediately greeted him, and said with a smile: "Sir, are you here to record a song?" ”

Cheng Peng looked at the environment of the recording studio and asked, "I'm going to record a song I wrote, I don't know how your equipment is, and what is the effect of recording?" ”

There are generally two charging modes for recording songs in the studio, one is the charging of non-original songs, which are mostly well-known songs that are widely sung and famous, such as Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye", this kind of song has an accompaniment tape in the recording studio, and the recording fee is charged by the hour.

The other is the charge for original songs, because the songs are original and there is no accompaniment in the recording studio, so if you want to record such an original song, you need to ask the band in the recording studio to record the accompaniment and then record the song. Because of the use of bands, the fees are expensive, usually thousands of dollars.

When the fat boss heard Cheng Peng record the original song, the smile on his face was even brighter, just like a Maitreya Buddha, he brought Cheng Peng into the recording studio, introduced various equipment, and assured Cheng Peng that his equipment must be the best, even if he sings badly, he can also be modified by technical means, even if the five tones are incomplete, he can also record the effect of a singer.

After listening to the fat boss's boasting, Cheng Peng smiled and said, "Sounds good, but how to calculate the cost?" ”

"Charge by time, 200 an hour, your song is written by yourself, you definitely need accompaniment, we have a special accompaniment band, this fee is calculated separately."

"How much does it cost to record an accompaniment?"

"There are three types of accompaniment, the standard type is 1,000 yuan, the standard work sample, the surname price ratio is high, and the effect is very perfect. The online distribution level is 2,000 yuan, which is close to the level of records. Quasi-release level 3000 yuan, the perfect combination of auditory effect and melodic accompaniment, the effect is the best, which do you need? ”

Cheng Peng's song is going to be made into CRBT to sell, and the sound quality is naturally not too bad: "Then it's quasi-release-level, but your price is too expensive, cheaper!" ”

"Friend, we are the market price, look at our machine ......" The fat boss saw Cheng Peng bargaining, and immediately gushed to him about how good his equipment was, how great the band was, and how strong the effect was.

But Cheng Peng did not let go, and stood on his own point of view to argue. The two of them exchanged words, and each side gave in a step, and finally negotiated the price.

After negotiating the price, the next step is to make the arrangement and record the accompaniment.

More than ten minutes later, four cloaks were scattered, looking a little sloppy, and a man who didn't wake up followed the fat boss in, and the look looked like playing in a band.

The man standing in the middle yawned, scratched his head, stretched out his hand to Cheng Peng, and asked lazily: "If you want to record accompaniment, you need to arrange it first, do you bring the score?" Give me the score. ”

Cheng Peng took out the score and handed it to the other party: "This is the score, I'm sorry for you." ”

The man took the score, glanced at it and smiled disdainfully, what a game of music for everyone now! He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you wait here, let's go to the recording studio to record the accompaniment, okay call you!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

The fat boss's apologetic Chong Cheng Peng smiled, meaning that they are like this, don't you mind.

The man walked with the music sheet and looked at it, his footsteps slowly stopped, and then he suddenly turned his head, looked at Cheng Peng, and said, "Did you write this song?" ”

Cheng Peng smiled faintly and said, "Yes, is there any problem?" ”

After the man looked Cheng Peng up and down, his eyes stared at him tightly, as if he wanted to see him through, but all he saw was depth and calm. He laughed and said, "It's well written, it's a good song." My name is Wu Di, and I'm the captain of the Jet Band, so I had the opportunity to talk about music together. ”

The fat boss's eyes widened, no, Wu Di, this kid took the initiative to invite people to talk about music, is this song really that awesome?

Although Cheng Peng didn't have the heart to talk about music with others, he still nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, let's have a chance to talk." ”

"See you later!"

It took the band nearly an hour to complete the accompaniment music, and then Cheng Peng was taken into the isolation room in the recording studio.

The fat boss knew that Cheng Peng was entering the recording studio for the first time, and after entering the isolation room, he briefly introduced to him, how to start, how to end, where to stand, and how to use the equipment, and then walked out of the isolation room and closed the door.

Cheng Peng put on the headphone strap and made a gesture to the soundproof glass to He Ping, the recording engineer on the console, to signal that he was ready.

The recording engineer looked into the microphone and said, "You wrote the song, you must be familiar with it, we are not familiar with it, try it first, and then record it directly." The most important thing in singing is to invest in feelings, you brew your feelings first, okay call me. ”

Investing in feelings and experiencing feelings is not difficult for Cheng Peng, who is a methodist. The expression of this song is very simple, it is to depict the obsession and love between men and women, the persistence of love, he closed his eyes, recalled in his heart his feelings when he was in love, felt the mood at that time, and let those emotions ripple in his heart.

After about a minute, Cheng Peng made an 'ok' gesture to the recording engineer, signaling that he was ready.

The recording engineer replied with an 'ok' gesture and said into the headset, "Okay, then let's try first." ”

The accompanying music sounded in the headphones, Cheng Peng took a breath gently, closed his eyes, recalled the original emotions in his heart again, experienced his original mood, and then sang with all his heart: "The familiar face of the person in the dream, you are the tenderness I am waiting for, even if the tears flood the world, I will not let go......"
