Chapter 128: Planning a Crooked Album

Due to the withdrawal of a group of investors just now, Cai Yinong is still having a headache for the investment in "Fairy Sword", the gap has reached more than five million, and the Tang people can't get the money, but the investment of the Tang people has accounted for the majority before, and now it is necessary to ensure that there is liquidity, and it can't be put in all of it, not that the Tang people can't pull the investment, but it will take a while.

Wang Zhengfei and Gao Yan are both quite interested in this investment, and both of them are very optimistic about "Fairy Sword" for different reasons.

So soon Gao Yan found Cai Yinong to discuss this investment, but Wang Zhengfei did not come forward, he also felt that he was not very suitable to come forward, at this time, Wang Zhengfei only existed as an actor, and the investment could not and did not have to be exposed in front of everyone, so he was directly attached to Gao Yan's name, and when the time came, the two of them were redistributing benefits according to the contract.

Gao Yan came to the door, Cai Yinong didn't think about it for long, and agreed to come down, originally this kind of investor is not everyone can be, and the Tang people are not hungry to that point, just find anyone to join in, although you don't need to invest all the money at once, but you need a steady stream of investment little by little, if you don't have this strength, you won't be accepted, but Xingchen Entertainment still has this strength, outsiders don't know how much "Immortality" earned last time, But Cai Yinong, as a figure in the circle, still has his own means to roughly know some approximate data, and judging from these known data, Xingchen still has enough strength.

After staying in Shanghai for two days, Wang Zhengfei didn't stay long and returned to the crew of "Baolian Lantern" with Xiao Jiu.

The filming of "Baolian Lantern", Wang Zhengfei has already reached the final stage, he was desperately rushing to the scene some time ago, but now he can wait for the end of this filming very leisurely, and begin to consciously adjust his body.

Wang Zhengfei called and told Gao Yan about coming up with a crooked album, Gao Yan was a little hesitant about this idea, in fact, before this, although there were already Internet singers, especially after Wang Zhengfei's butterfly wings were instigated, the term Internet singer entered the field of vision of netizens earlier than in his previous life, and everyone is more acceptable to Internet singers, but it is generally in the form of occasionally posting one or two small fights on the Internet, The real bigwigs in the music scene are still those bigwigs who control the resources of record companies, although the idea of online music albums is good, but China itself is a place where piracy is rampant, and there is basically little concept of maintaining the genuine version, especially on the Internet, those who can support the genuine are more intentional, and those who do not support it are the mainstream, plus over the years, although the country's economic ranking has been rising, but in fact, the money in the people's pockets is completely disproportionate to the economic ranking.

In this case, if the so-called online music album is released, then there is only one result, that is, piracy is all over the Internet overnight, and there is no money at all, and if you want to make money, you still have to take the regular record route.

In this case, it doesn't seem appropriate for Gao Yan to release such an album, that is, Wang Zhengfei's idea is too advanced, unless one day, more than half of the people on the Internet have the concept of paying, otherwise, this will always be just a fantasy.

Wang Zhengfei is not unclear about this, but he has his own ideas.

"Indeed, it is probably a very difficult thing to make money from this, even if it is because it is an online music album, so the MV, post-publicity and other reasons are omitted, but even if it is charged, at most it can recover the cost, but I think this is enough, after all, we are not running for money this time!" Wang Zhengfei said his thoughts, "Now we have to face the pressure of Lanchen at any time, it is difficult to make a breakthrough in reality, only on the Internet can there be a way out, but it is impossible to rely on topics on the Internet all the time to support fame and maintain exposure, whether it is on the Internet or in reality, the most important thing is two words, works, only hard and high-quality works are the foundation of everything, as long as there are such works, no matter how CCTV and the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television suppress, None of them can leave us without a foothold! ”

Gao Yan was silent for a while, he agreed very much with what Wang Zhengfei said, and knew that this was indeed the case, but he still had some concerns, and said: "Even so, we don't aim to make money, we only consider recovering costs, but where to collect songs now, generally if a singer wants to prepare an album, he has to start collecting songs a year and a half in advance, but what we lack is this time, and you are about to shoot "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", do you still have time to get this?" ”

"That's not a problem at all!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile flashing at the corner of his mouth. "Have you forgotten? I'm the least afraid of that! ”

For others, how to collect songs, collecting good songs is the biggest problem, but for Wang Zhengfei, this is not a problem at all, what he can still remember in his mind is definitely a popular song in later generations, one is more catchy than the other, it can be said to be a collection of good songs for an event.

Gao Yan thought about it, this is indeed the case, this person himself is popular on the Internet with his songs, which of the songs he made is not popular on the Internet.

"Now I have a lot of songs on the Internet, including "Mice Love Rice", "Waiting for the Ring Finger", "Native Eggs", "My Rippy Girlfriend", these are four songs, and it is not a problem to make a few more songs later!" Now Wang Zhengfei has five songs circulating on the Internet, of which the first four are all witnesses who have accompanied Wang Zhengfei all the way to popularity, only the last song "Huangmei Opera" is not suitable for Wang Zhengfei to sing because it is a girl's perspective, and Wang Zhengfei does not have an official version on the Internet, and the popular ones on the Internet are all edited from the recordings he made at the press conference, but despite this, the popularity of "Huangmei Opera" is in the forefront of Wang Zhengfei's five songs, and has been covered by countless female netizens. One of the more famous ones is none other than Dan Vo's cover version, because it is a girlfriend's relationship, Wang Zhengfei takes special care of Dan Vo, and puts Dan Vo's cover version on his blog, saying that he will not sing this song again, so this version of Dan Vo is the official final version, and Dan Vo did not disappoint Wang Zhengfei, with good voice conditions, as well as more formal recording conditions than the majority of netizens, he quickly won the recognition of a group of netizens.

"Can you write it on time? There's not a lot of time now, filming will start in mid to late May, and you won't have time to tell you by then! Gao Yan reminded that although Wang Zhengfei is a well-known 'singer-songwriter', it is also very difficult to get it out in such a short time!

"Don't worry, now that I have a draft, I have a lot of songs to choose from, the only question is which one I choose!" Wang Zhengfei said confidently, rebirth is really the biggest golden finger, something that is extremely difficult for others, he can easily complete it with the help of the golden finger.

"That's great, but since you're going to make an album, you can't just find a random recording studio like before!" Gao Yan said, although Wang Zhengfei's songs were not bad before, and many netizens also received rave reviews, but after all, they were only songs recorded in amateur recording studios, although Gao Yan was not an expert in this area, but he also knew that it was best to find that kind of professional studio recording, otherwise, ordinary listeners are nothing, once those very sharp and critical musicians listened, they must not laugh off their big teeth, they used to make small fights, and there was really no fame at that time, so it was nothing, now after all, I want to make an album, if it is too cold, isn't Xingchen Entertainment behind Wang Zhengfei also embarrassed?

"Yes!" Wang Zhengfei also thought so, he really had no money before, at that time, Wang Zhengfei's career had just started, and the money for recording a song was a lot of money for him, and it was likely to bankrupt him directly, but for him now, recording a few more songs is just a drop in the bucket, and there is nothing at all.

In order to create a high-quality product, in addition to the excellent song itself, the hardware conditions such as the recording studio must also be the best, anyway, he is not short of money, so he naturally wants the best.

"Okay, then you are responsible for writing songs and selecting suitable songs, I'll contact you in the recording studio, after choosing, give me the score, and I'll take care of it, and when you come out of the crew, you can start after a few days of rest!" Gao Yan said that the two worked together in the division of labor, and when they finally met, the time was urgent, and they couldn't take care of it so much.

"Oh, also, now you can let your Renren network start publicity, the time is very tight, so you have to start now, otherwise the publicity effect may be very insufficient at that time, don't fall on the promotion of your first album at that time, this kind of thing is not an uncommon thing in the circle!" Gao Yan suddenly remembered and said.

"Got it!" Wang Zhengfei nodded, needless to say, Gao Yan also knew what to do.

There is only one question left, and that is, what songs to choose!
