"I used to like Zheng Xiaoyi's songs, she retired bravely, everyone said that she married into a wealthy family, but I didn't expect it to be hidden in the snow, and Zhou Mingrui was too bad a thing, fortunately I didn't sign a contract with them."

Ai Xiaoqi was also embarrassed when she heard it, and said: "But you actually want to make your debut, which surprised me a little." ”

"Wang Weihan is not going to release an album yet, just in the ring with him, he will cry when the time comes."

"Don't be so sure, didn't Zheng Xiao get drunk after complaining to you for a while, what if she gave up?"

Zheng Xiaoyi did have such a meaning before, but then it seemed that he had changed his mind, and Zhang Yao was not sure, and said: "I shouldn't have to, but I really have to talk to her again." ”

"That's right, you even called your sister, she doesn't support who you support."

Ai Xiaoqi seemed to have some opinions on this, and despised Zhang Yao for recognizing his sister, Zhang Yao rolled his eyes and began to doze off, and went to class for a day in a daze, and Zheng Xiao also took the initiative to find the school when school was out in the afternoon.

"Sister Xiaoyi, I was just about to call you, is it better?"

Seeing Zheng Xiaoyi and Zhang Yao greet her first, Ai Xiaoqi also nodded at her, Zheng Xiaoyi was a little embarrassed, she was taken aback after getting up this morning, and she was relieved after seeing the note.

"Zhang Yao, sister has caused you trouble, xiexie."

Zheng Xiao also behaved very sincerely, but Ai Xiaoqi interjected and said: "It's all sisters and brothers, so don't be so polite." Sister Xiaoyi, I'm your fan, sign my name. ”

"I'm also your fan, and if you want an autograph, you can sign it for me, so let's exchange it."

Sure enough, women are naturally easy to get acquainted with, Zhang Yao stood aside and seemed to have been ignored, the two exchanged for a while, and Zheng Xiaoyi said again: "Don't stand here, sister invites the two of you to dinner, first, to thank Zhang Yao for taking care of him last night, and secondly, to talk about what he didn't finish yesterday." ”

"Sister Xiaoyi, let's buy it and go directly to your studio to eat."

Ai Xiaoqi followed up with an idea and said: "I didn't expect that the dawn studio was opened by you, Sister Xiaoyi, I only went to the recording studio before, and I just went to visit." ”

"It's all on the verge of closure, so there's nothing else worth visiting."

Zheng Xiaoyi smiled bitterly again, and Zhang Yao said: "Of course you need to visit, it will be the place where I will struggle in the future." Sister Xiaoyi, don't worry, we will definitely be able to turn over. ”

"Okay, let's go to the studio."

Zheng Xiao also agreed, which also means that she accepted Zhang Yao's suggestion and decided to work hard with Zhang Yao again, otherwise there is really nothing worth visiting, and the more she looks at it, the more upset she becomes.

After buying the food, he directly used the fast food box to take a taxi to the dawn studio, Zheng Xiaoyi, the boss, did a really shabby job, he didn't even have a car, so he probably sold the hole-filling eye.

The area of the studio is not large, the furnishings are not simple, but they are not popular, and the only few remaining staff members have gone home from work at this time.

"If it weren't for renting out the studio and making some money every month, I wouldn't even be able to pay my salary now, so don't laugh."

Zheng Xiao also took out the food and put it on the table, letting Zhang Yao and Ai Xiaoqi wander around, both of them were in such a place for the first time, and they were also very interested.

looked around, walked back and sat down, Ai Xiaoqi picked up the chopsticks and said: "Sister Xiaoyi, when everyone is in difficulty, this does not exist, this is so difficult, it seems not easy to make an album." ”

The cost of an album from production to release ranges from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions, and after selecting the songs, you need to pay copyright fees, and you need to pay the wages of the recording engineer and other staff when recording.

Actors and directors are also needed to shoot MVs, and some big-name stars need millions of dollars to shoot a MV, and after the production is completed, they also need to be released and promoted, which also requires a lot of financial support.

"In fact, it's not just about money."

Zheng Xiaoyi himself knows how difficult it is to be entangled now, and said: "Zhang Yao, we are still facing the joint ban of Golden Disc Entertainment and Tianyin Records, although it is impossible for them to control the national media, but it is also a lot of resistance, what I want to tell you today is this matter, if you still insist, my sister is also willing to accompany you to go crazy." ”

Although Golden Disc Entertainment can only be regarded as well-known rather than a giant in the circle, and Tianyin Records only dominates Caiyun Province, they have been mixed for so many years, and their connections must be much stronger than Zheng Xiaoyi.

Zheng Xiao is just an outdated star, compared to the media, of course it will not be on his side, at least in Caiyun there will not be any media to help promote it is certain, other places will depend on whether they can impress them, if they can impress them, some media may not buy the account of Golden Disc Entertainment.

Zheng Xiaoyi has not been able to turn over before, as long as she is only good at singing, and there is no haode creator, she can't get haode songs at all under the obstruction of Golden Disc Entertainment, and of course she can't turn over.

Zhang Yao has absolute confidence in the quality of the songs, so he said: "Sister Xiaoyi, needless to say, I am confident that even if the country is strictly blocked, we can succeed, they can make the media not report, do not let the event party invite us, can they still control fans not to buy our records?" ”

If fans don't get the information at all, then no matter how haode songs are, they will be buried, but this is impossible, Golden Disc Entertainment and Tianyin Records have not yet blocked the ability to leak.

"Since you are so confident, then you have decided so, my sister will put all the violence on you this time, and I will be willing to fail this time."

After making a decision, Zheng Xiaoyi said: "It's just that the situation is really not optimistic now, I can only barely make up a million now, Zhang Yao, you write the songs yourself, I can be the producer, although this can save a lot of money, but we don't even have an accompanying band now, and under the intervention of Tianyin Records, it is impossible to borrow it temporarily." ”

The more he talked, the more he felt that it was difficult to release a record to Zhang Yao now, Ai Xiaoqi held chopsticks in his mouth, and interjected: "If you want a band, you can find the Burning Band, with Zhang Yao's friendship with them, you can help record it for free." ”

"It's true that the Burning Band can, but it's not free, I used to ask them to help record the music because it was just entertainment, and now the official remuneration must be given, otherwise it will be too unkind."

Zhang Yao and Ai Xiaoqi had already thought about this when they started charging downloads on the Internet, and Zheng Xiaoyi said: "The Burning Band, I don't seem to have heard of it, how are they capable?" ”

"Sister Xiaoyi, they often come here to record songs, and the people in your studio must be familiar with them."

Ai Xiaoqi said with a little smugness: "Their strength is still very strong, absolutely professional." Sister Xiaoyi, have you heard Hatsune Miku, they recorded those tunes. ”

"Hatsune Miku's tune was recorded by them, and the people behind it are you two little guys?"

Zheng Xiao also felt very surprised, Ai Xiaoqi patted her little chest and said, "It's not just the two of us." ”

"Xiaoqi, why don't you join our studio too?"

Zheng Xiaoyi immediately sent out an invitation, which was a bit like her previous style of doing everything possible for the studio, and Ai Xiaoqi said bluntly: "Sister Xiaoyi, don't say that my personal reasons make it impossible to be a professional singer, even if I join you, I can't package me now." ”

"That's right."

Zheng Xiao also held his forehead depressedly, took a small bite of food casually, and paused before saying: "If the band can find it, there is basically no problem with the personnel, but it is still not enough to release an album after a million years." ”

Zhang Yao has tens of thousands of deposits now, and the income on the website has not been able to get it, even if he gets this bit of belongings, it is a drop in the bucket for the album, Ai Xiaoqi is an absolute rich second generation, and his savings are not much, his father has been preventing her from becoming a singer, and it is impossible to invest in her.

"Sister Xiaoyi, let's release the EP first."

EP is a mini album, generally only contains two or three songs, the purpose of releasing EP is to ask for directions, if the EP has achieved a good market, then the album will be released immediately, and the response is not haode, then it is not necessary, so the record company can reduce unnecessary losses.

"Although I feel a little sorry for you, it seems that this is the only option."

Zheng Xiaoyi sighed and said, "If I could meet you earlier, the situation would have been better." ”

"Sister Xiaoyi, there is no need to talk about these things anymore."

Zhang Yao stood up, went to the water dispenser and took a glass of water for each person, and then said: "Let's plan to include three songs, in addition to the shooting of the MV, the cost actually can't be reduced too much, and you still need to think carefully." ”

"The most important thing is actually the cost of publicity, right?"

Ai Xiaoqi continued: "I feel that a MV is simple and fifty or sixty thousand is enough, and it still needs to be suppressed after the album is recorded, and the first 100,000 copies are indispensable, otherwise it will be too child's play." ”

According to the standards of this space-time continent, sales of 500,000 copies are considered platinum records, and 300,000 chapters are gold records. As a newcomer, these achievements don't need to be considered for the time being, and in this way, if you suppress too little, you can't make waves in such a haode environment.

Although the cost of suppressing DVDs is not high, the amount of 100,000 plus the packaging is about three or four yuan per sheet, but it also costs three or four hundred thousand yuan, and after tinkering with these, one million is gone.

"I don't have to do it at all."

Zhang Yao thought about it and said: "First of all, we don't have enough money, and Kingdee Entertainment and Tianyin Records will still obstruct it, and it is thankless to work hard to promote it, so it's better to use all the money to make an album, I probably already have a good idea." ”
