Chapter 100: The King of Plagiarism
In the "Red Star Records" recording studio, it is smoky, like a fairyland.
Xu Junqin complained: "Hey, you bunch of big smoking guns, can you be a little more restrained?" There are still ladies here, I really don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, I'm going to choke to death, what's wrong with the recording? "This guy is white and tender, very handsome, and the most important thing is that he is romantic, and he wants to be a flower messenger anytime and anywhere.
Chen Huixian smiled disapprenosingly: "It's okay, my family is often worse than this, I'm used to it." ”
Zhang Xueyou got up and turned on the ventilation fan on the wall, Bao Bida frowned and said: "This recording studio is too broken, too informal, and not good to close, there will inevitably be noise during recording, so you must change it this morning." In fact, what he wants to say is, not only is the equipment not regular, but the people are also not regular, who will smoke in the studio? But since Yang Lin smoked, they also smoked. He knew that Yang Lin, a "pseudo-expert", didn't know the rules at all.
Yang Lin rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I told you, all my money is spent on concerts and record production, and if you ask for money again, I have to sell the shares of TVB." Just wait for this record to sell well, and you can get the best recording studio in the world if you want. ”
Bao Bida pouted, still waiting for the record to sell well? Where can I sell it if I buy it again? Can you fill the big hole of 500,000?
Yang Lin didn't know what he was thinking, so he took out a stack of papers from his pocket, took out one from it first, and put it aside: "This is the invited guest to sing together." Then he looked at it carefully, divided the rest into two parts, put one left and one right on the table in front of Bao Bida, and said: "This is the song I wrote for Qizai and Hui Xian, Brother Bao, everything about the concert outside will be handled by me and Senior Brother, and your task is to guide the two of them to record records and post-production." ok? ”
Everyone opened their mouths and looked at Yang Lin incredulously, this thick stack is all new songs written? Just crumpled in your pocket, like a roll of toilet paper? What kind of person is this?
Bao Bida took the two new songs in his hand, looked at them, and read them casually: "Blessing wandering in the jungle to meet the rain, dyed in the wet wind, whispering that the drizzle road is sleepy, and the grass leans on the clear spring in the bay" He first read a few lyrics and praised: "Good words." He hummed softly to himself again, and the more he hummed, the brighter his eyes became, and he praised loudly: "Good words!" Good song! His eyes lit up, staring at Yang Lin, and his heart was really Gu Jiahui's apprentice, amazing!
Zhao Runqin sat on the side and didn't speak, she was very curious when she heard the words, took it and looked at it, handed it to Chen Huixian and said, "Try to sing a few words." ”
Everyone's eyes focused on Chen Huixian's face, Chen Huixian was slightly embarrassed, a red cloud flew over her pretty face, and she quickly looked down at the lyrics. After watching it for a while, he sang softly according to the score: "Wandering in the jungle to meet the rain, dyeing the hair in the wet wind, whispering that the drizzle road is as sleepy, and leaning on the grass in the bay and leaning on the clear spring." The flowing spring turns along the road, occasionally turns a few times in the mountain, a soft and yellowish fallen leaves, swinging to the clear stream and drifting away early. Ah, how many times in the past, as the clouds and smoke fade away, listen to the birds, watch the rain break, and quietly give me a string of heartfelt blessings"
The lyrics are fresh and timeless, and the score is gentle and tactful, heartwarming and as smooth as a stream.
Xu Junqin sighed and said: "No wonder the master said that in terms of creation, I can't surpass you Alin in my life." At first, I was very unconvinced, but now I am convinced. ”
Yang Lin is embarrassed, he is not so thick-skinned that he is still complacent when he is praised for "plagiarizing" other people's works. Hurriedly coughed dryly, and interrupted: "Brother Bao, you just need to make the record, I will design the shape of the stage, and when the stage is set up and the equipment is debugged, we will have a rehearsal." ”
Zhao Runqin said with some concern: "Do you wait for the concert to see the reaction and then make a record?" He said it mildly, but it didn't mean badly. After seeing the response to the concert, it would be safer to decide whether to release a record or not. If you don't know the response to the concert, you have already made a record at the same time, the risk will be great, because you don't know what the response will be and whether the audience will accept it, after all, the singers this time are just two newcomers who can't be newer. If it is a singer who has already become famous, of course, there is no problem, they already have a fixed fan base, and record sales are guaranteed.
Before Yang Lin could speak, Bao Bida had already spoken: "There's no need for that, just with this song, it's inevitable that the concert will cause a sensation." If you wait to see the response before you start production, you miss the opportunity, because the audience's enthusiasm has gradually waned. It is to strike while the iron is hot, the concert has received a warm response, and the record will be launched immediately and synchronously, and the effect will be better. ”
Zhao Runqin shut up and didn't speak, he was just a talent scout and agent, and he didn't know much about business methods. But in my heart, I am a little unimpressed, all your reasons are based on the good response to the concert, what if it doesn't work?
"Hey, why is it still a blessing?" Zhang Xueyou took another stack of songs in Bao Bida's hand and said in surprise.
Bao Bida hadn't paid attention to this yet, and when he heard this, he took the song from Zhang Xueyou's hand and watched it.
Yang Lin explained: "I have an idea for the record released this time, let's see if it's okay together. He paused, then continued: "We released three records at a time, namely "Blessing", "Where to Meet in Life" and "I Just Want to Go With You All My Life". "Blessing" is a song "Tomorrow Will Be Better" sung by all the guests of the concert, as well as these two "Blessings", plus a song "Why Should We Have Met Once" sung by Qizai and Hui Xian. "Where Don't We Meet in Life" is Hui Xian's album, and "I Just Want to Go With You All My Life" is Qizai's album. ”
Chen Huixian and Zhang Xueyou are both excited and hot, who would have thought that two newcomers who have just entered the music scene can hold concerts and release albums? In the whole Xiangjiang, probably only they have this good luck.
Bao Bida agreed: "It's a good idea, but how to price it? ”
Yang Lin said: "Each sheet is priced at 38 yuan, and then put them together and launch a collection, which is called "Youth Fire Gold Collector's Edition". The cover of the collection should be exquisite and novel, and the packaging should be luxurious and atmospheric, with a tentative price of 158 pieces. ”
Bao Bida scratched his head and said strangely: "No, that's not it." Three 38,That's 114 yuan in total.,People bought a collection.,It's equivalent to buying three at a time.,Why do you have to have a little discount?,Why are you so expensive? ”
Yang Lin smiled, these people really don't understand marketing, and said: "It's different, this 'Golden Collector's Edition' is not for listening, but for collection." It doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive, it can be made in quantities, on a first-come, first-served basis, and in limited quantities. Do you think, the so-called rare things are expensive, rare and precious things, how can those fans not rush to them? ”
Bao Bida was speechless, why is this kid's head full of tricks? There are so many singers, and I don't know how many records are released every year, all of them are in order, where is he so tricky. But if you think about it, these little tricks make sense.
Xu Junqin looked at Yang Lin's songs one after another, and finally sighed: "The new generation of Xiangjiang talents really deserves their reputation. Any song here can become a classic that has been sung for a while, and you are like selling cabbage, and you will write it out in one go, senior brother, I am simply a mountain and a five-body throw to the ground for you! ”
Yang Linxin said, why do you keep saying this? I don't know if people are thin-skinned and embarrassed? It has been sung for a while, which song has not been baptized by the years and verified by time, and has been passed down for decades? Buddy either doesn't steal, and since he does, he has to steal a "plagiarism king". If you don't plagiarize these classics, what do you want that garbage for? It's a waste of resources.
Of course, the classics are also divided into grades. Everything has to have a step-by-step process, Yang Lin will not be stupid to let Zhang Xueyou sing "Kiss Goodbye" now, or drum out Chen Huixian's "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que".
Whether it is a song or a movie, we must rush forward as much as possible to avoid the probability of "crashing", as long as it is not some works with strong surnames of the times, and then Yang Lin changes it slightly, there should not be a situation where the concept is too advanced, out of touch with the times, and the audience cannot accept it. is like Chen Huixian's song "The Lost Promise" when she debuted in her previous life, which is very good and classic, and Yang Lin also likes it very much. But that song was launched at about this time in the previous life, who knows if the original author wrote it now? Wouldn't it be embarrassing in case of a "crash"? It's just a sneaky plagiarism, Yang Lin doesn't have the cheekiness to go to court with the original creator.
Two "Blessings", Zhang Xueyou's one is his own original song, and Chen Huixian's one is sung by Ye Qianwen. However, Ye Qianwen is estimated to have just debuted now, and she is far away from singing this song, so it's a big deal to "plagiarize" someone else's good song to compensate her later.
Anyway, since he was reborn, the big hat of "King of Plagiarism" can't be taken off, and he doesn't want to take it off. In other words, if you don't even have this little benefit, who will be born again? (To be continued.) )
