Chapter 35 Invitation to join
For several days, Wang Weihan's boasting in the school continued, announcing everywhere that he had started recording an album and that it would not take long to be listed.
On the other hand, Zhang Yao, no one else knows what he does, and he lost to Wang Weihan in the competition of the Youth Association to collect songs, and the prestige he has accumulated has finally disappeared, how can he still be curious about him in Wang Weihan's bombardment.
"Alas, that guy's tail is almost up to the sky, did you write your song?"
No one can make everyone like it, and there are many people like Wang Weihan who are so high-profile and unhappy, and Ai Xiaoqi is one of them.
Although everything has been done, it still has to be low-key, Zhang Yao said: "I only sing a simple melody, it will take a little time to perfect, but the chorus has been completely completed, and I can record it tonight." ”
"Show me the sheet music, and we'll record it tonight."
Ai Xiaoqi was a little impatient and said: "Now that the clicks on the curl of eyelashes on Kubo have dropped sharply, it is estimated that it will take a lot of time to break through 7 million, and there is already a downward trend in Yuedong, and it is just time to release a new song." ”
"It takes a little time to make the MV animation, and it just so happens that the EP also needs to be prepared, so it should be just right if you calculate the time."
Zhang Yao habitually touched his chin after handing over the song score, to get the effect of linkage publicity, the best thing is to release the EP when the song is the hottest, and the effect will be discounted sooner or later.
"We can't make too demanding MVs now, and we don't have Jihua to shoot in other places, so it shouldn't take long for three MVs, right?"
Ai Xiaoqi read the song score, and immediately said: "Prague Square, why is the name so strange." ”
"You wouldn't have heard of Prague, would you? It is the capital of the Czech Republic and one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. ”
Zhang Yao explained nonsense: "Because I have always had the idea of traveling everywhere, I saw a picture of Prague when I was looking for inspiration, so I wrote such a song. ”
"I was standing in Prague's square at dusk and casting hope in the Trevi Fountain......"
It was not difficult for Ai Xiaoqi to understand the score, and she hummed lightly and said: "The song is really good, I'm afraid I like it very much." But there is still a question, this song is also going to be included in your EP, so should you shoot the MV again? ”
"It's better not to use it.,Just use the animation.,But the picture quality should be clearer than the one uploaded to the Internet.,So as to attract Hatsune's fans to pay for it.。
"Why didn't I find out that you still have the potential to be a profiteer?"
Ai Xiaoqi expressed contempt for Zhang Yao's speculative behavior, and Zhang Yao smiled and said: "Real fans will not only have high requirements for picture quality, but also buy three at a time, one is reluctant to keep it even after opening it, one is kept for listening to by himself, and the other is specially lent to others to promote their idols to others." ”
"No matter how you look at it, it's all sick, is there really such a fan on shijie?"
Ai Xiaoqi criticized the house culture again, and Zhang Yao said: "In short, it is for preservation, ornamentation and preaching, maybe not now, I will let him have it in the future." ”
"Too lazy to listen to your nonsense."
Ai Xiaoqi waved her hand impatiently and said: "Let's talk about the problem of this song, how to do the animation MV, if you only give your voice, it is estimated that you will not be able to achieve the effect of the scene, Hatsune is a cartoon character, plus you are not suitable, not to mention that you also made a faceless gimmick." ”
"I've already given myself a stage name, and if you want to use a silhouette for your image, then I'll let you add a few advertising words to Hatsune, it should be okay, right?"
Zhang Yao has also pondered these things for several nights, and if he only speaks out in the animated MV of "Prague Square", it is estimated that although it can arouse people's curiosity, it will soon be drowned.
Therefore, it is still necessary to occupy a little weight, and after meditating, I thought of the method of using silhouette images, which can arouse people's curiosity to the greatest extent.
"A stage name? Jacky? ”
Ai Xiaoqi was more interested in this at this time, and remembered Zhang Yao's casual nonsense at the beginning, Zhang Yao laughed dryly and said: "That's just an impulsive idea, since we are playing gimmicks, of course the stage name must also have a sense of mystery, so the stage name I gave myself is Y, which is Yao's initial." ”
Zhang Yao has a bad taste for using the name Jacky Cheung as a stage name, but think about it, it's better not to blaspheme your idol, if you mess up, then I'm sorry for the name.
Jay Chou didn't seem to appear in the original MV, and he forgot what kind of Zhang Yao was, so he simply made up his mind to let the animation production company play it himself, anyway, "Eyelash Curl" did a good job, and this song doesn't need to dance.
I made a phone call to make an appointment first, so that the people from the animation company don't rush to get off work and wait for the two of them, they are already old customers, and they need to do it for a long time, and the people from the animation company are also happy to ask for this little request.
Hatsune Miku is considered their own.,It has nothing to do with Daybreak Studio.,The money for making the animation is naturally shared equally between the two.,The income of "Sweet" has been distributed on the website before, and the production cost is not a difficult thing.
This time, the requirements are more detailed than before, first of all, since the song is related to Prague, the background is of course the best to use Prague, but it also needs a few words as a still background, which is not difficult.
The price is still the same, the whole song of "Prague Square" is less than five minutes, plus there is an advertisement, all of them are more than five minutes and ten seconds, and the excess money is not calculated, a full 100,000 yuan.
After signing the contract, they paid the deposit happily, Zhang Yao and Ai Xiaoqi didn't stay long, left the animation company to deal with lunch casually, called Zheng Xiaoyi, and then set off to the cradle piano store to find the burning band.
This time, in addition to asking the Burning Band to help, it can be regarded as a solicitation, and Zheng Xiaoyi, the boss, should have come forward in person, but unfortunately she has other things to do, so it should be the matter of issuing an EP to Zhang Yao.
When they went up to the second floor, Liang Hong and the staff of the piano store were eating a boxed lunch, and the other three members of the band were not there, so they said hello and sat down, Zhang Yao asked directly: "Brother Liang, what about the others, aren't you going to perform tonight?" ”
"Brother, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, are you going to record a song again?"
Liang Hong laughed, but Zhang Yao was a little embarrassed, they are good friends now, but he really hasn't come to Liang Hong except for recording songs.
"I'm sorry, Brother Liang, I'll come to get together with you more when I have time in the future."
Zhang Yaogan laughed twice, and Liang Hong said: "Just kidding you, don't care, Hatsune Miku is terrible now, and we are all proud of the people behind the scenes." ”
"Brother Liang, I still have to keep the matter of Hatsune secret."
Ai Xiaoqi interjected and requested, she enjoyed the current situation very much, Hatsune was on fire, if she was also dug up, it was estimated that she would have to face the pressure of her father, which would not be good for Hatsune's own development.
"Don't worry, we're long past the age of showing off everywhere, and we won't talk nonsense."
Liang Hong smiled and nodded, and said, "You guys sit down first, because the business of the piano store is good today, the three of them went to order, and they should be able to come back almost immediately, and then I will help you record songs." ”
"Then let's go to Brother Liang first."
Zhang Yao thanked him first, and then said: "Brother Liang, in fact, there is something else for us to do this time besides recording songs, I have now joined the Daybreak Music Studio, and I will release my first EP soon, and it is not a problem to trouble you all the time......
"You're making your debut? Is Daybreak Studios? ”
Zhang Yao was interrupted by Liang Hong before he finished speaking, he was really a little surprised, because Zhang Yao had said before that he didn't want to debut too early, and now he is not only going to debut, but he is still joining Dawn Studio.
Zhang Yao had no choice but to tell the matter as it was, people are valuable, and there is nothing to hide, Zuihou said: "That's the way it is, so I hope Brother Liang, you can also join in." ”
"I didn't expect the boss of Dawn Studio to be Zheng Xiaoyi, our band didn't know that they had so many dealings with them, and I felt a little bit ignorant of Taishan."
After listening to Zheng Xiaoyi's experience, Liang Hong was also embarrassed, for the singers who are all the rage, even if they don't like her, people will have some impressions, this is a star.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yao continued the previous topic again and said: "I am already about to make my debut, and Hatsune has also begun to commercialize, so it is not appropriate for you to trouble you like this, so I think you should be paid a certain amount even if you are not willing to sign a contract." ”
"Brother Liang, if you sign a contract, you will be an accompaniment band, and you can't release records, I hope you don't mind."
Ai Xiaoqi followed up and added, the gap between the band and the accompaniment band is also very large, the former can become a star, the latter can only be regarded as a behind-the-scenes worker, and it is difficult to say whether the burning band that has always been aiming for the former can accept it.
"We are self-aware, and if we had the ability to make a record, we wouldn't have delayed it until now."
Liang Hong didn't care, and said: "Speaking of which, this is the first time our band has received an invitation, and the four of us in the band can only make a living from this piano shop now, and their music dreams have never given up, I think they should agree, and they will give you an answer after they come to discuss." ”
"Our current situation is not very good, no matter what kind of choice Brother Liang has, you have helped a lot, in short, you are the first Xiexie."
If it weren't for the coincidence that I met Liang Hong and them, it would not be easy to find a powerful accompaniment band immediately, judging from the tone of these words, Liang Hong is inclined to agree to join, and the joining of the Burning Band should not be a problem.
